Please, Love Me

Chapter 5

LISA POV:

We fairly awkwardly sat there for a while. Well at least the fantastic four did. Chaeyoung was having a blast with her family as they all caught up.  In all of their hearts one could see how much they missed Chaeyoung and how much they loved having her back. Of course, they didn't know the truth. Chaeyoung had told an elaborate lie. One that we had been planning since we got her body. To everyone, it was believed that Chaeyoung was only brought back to life two months ago, which is technically true. But in reality it's just that her whole body was brought back two months ago. In reality, she was given life again a little over a two years ago, then around a year or so ago she secretly made a call to Dahyun. 

At that time, Chaeyoung had her rotting corpse as a body to function in, and a working brain. At the time she was missing patches of skin and a lot of hair. Her face was so thin and ghastly it was as if she didn't have any muscle at all, just skin and bones, which to be fair was what she was mostly. Chaeyoung would throw up for hours at a time because her stomach wasn't working and a lot of the time we had to keep her from sleeping because if she slept for too long she'd die again. We chose to keep this monstrous time a secret however. Mina would explode at this information and Chaeyoung's family didn't need to know...

I looked at the girl who I still remember the smell of her corpse. She was smiling as Dahyun messed with her and laughing as Sana explained how Tzuyu was obsessed with dogs. She seemed happy and it was a nice sight to see. Chaeyoung was usually always stressed at everything and could rarely have a lot of fun. It was nice to see her calm down and relax with her family. I couldn't help but feel a little confused and left out.

Chaeyoung and I had been family since we retrieved her body. Jennie, Jisoo, Rosie and I were all her family and I liked that. I guess you could say I was jealous because it felt like losing a sister. 

"Lisa, this is going to sound really weird, but can we get some Taco Bell?" Chaeyoung suddenly said, a playful smirk on her face.

"AH HECK YEAH WE CAN." I exclaimed, immediately whipping out my computer.

"Chaeyoung, do you even have the money for Taco Bell--

"Just wait. Tzuyu, just watch the magic." Chaeyoung said.

My fingers worked fast. It was annoyingly simple. All I had to do was hack into the food delivery service order my food and then glitch the system to believe that I had played for everything. It was something us girls did every once in a while. Rosé used to complain how we were scamming Taco Bell and I always remind her that we are doing exactly that. In a place like we were with the history we had sometimes we just needed to do something dumb. This was our something dumb.

"Alright. I ordered five crunchwrap supremes, seven regular tacos, four doritos locos tacos, nachos, and six different freezes." I said happily.

"That's a lot of food.... uh... is it all vampire-friendly and blood-infused..?" Sana asked, clearly confused and  checking her wallet, I guess she think she's going to pay.

"Yes. It is all vampire-friendly, and Sana, no need to pay. Trust me." I said, finalizing the order and the fake-payment.

"Did you pay? With what money? From where?" Dahyun said, rapid-furing questions at me with a suspicious tone.

That's when I realized, and I hope the others did too, Chaeyoung's family didn't trust us, even with the little things. They sort of trusted Mina, even in her insane state, and of course they'd trust Chaeyoung, especially after Chaeyoung proved her knowledge to Tzuyu. But the rest of us... We weren't trusted.

"Don't worry Dahyun. Payment was made and done magically." Chaeyoung said, "It's okay. Put a little trust in my friends would you?"

"I... Look, Chaeyoung. It's easy to trust your or Mina, but understand that everyone else is a stranger to us. Don't expect my trust. I've learned through time that trust often comes with consequences." Dahyun responded.
