Jennie nodded and quickly saw Lisa disappear again, her eyes noticing that Lisa's phone was ringing even though no sound came out. Leaning closer to the table where the phone was Jennie smiled when she read the name written on it. Grabbing the phone and checking if Lisa was anywhere near her, Jennie picked up connecting the call. "What the hell Manoban, where have you been?" Chaeyoung's worried voice reached Jennie's ears, the girl holding back her laughter as she waited for the right time to speak up. "I've been running all day to take care of  YOUR business," Chaeyoung spoke up again, her voice turning from worried to frustrated real quick, Jennie not being able to hold back anymore, laughing into the phone which caused Chaeyoung to pause for a good minute. "Who is this? Lisa?" Chaeyoung asked and her tone changed for the second time, Jennie checking if Lisa was looking at her or whether she was still busy with making ramen. "It's Jennie" the girl said and heard a big gasp come from Chaeyoung, Jennie laughing her ass off from her couch, miles away from Seoul. "Shut the fuck up, are you guys in the same place?" Chaeyoung asked still shocked, she obviously was aware of what had gone down, it was clear from her question.

"Yeah, in Busan actually" Jennie said while laughing, Chaeyoung acting shocked for the second time only intensifying Jennie's laughter that seemed to be so contagious that she started laughing as well. "Is that why she has been ignoring me for two days straight?" Chaeyoung asked and Lisa walked in the living room with two bowls in her hands, looking at Jennie who was obviously unaware that she joined her. "Yeah probably-" Jennie said and looked up, a mischievous smile creeping up on her lips when she saw Lisa standing there, her smile causing Lisa do crack as well. As much as she wanted to be annoyed and mad that she had answered her phone she couldn't look at her smile like that and not respond in some way. "Unnie, someone called for you" Jennie smirked when she saw the reaction that Lisa had as soon as the nickname dropped from Jennie's mouth, Lisa shaking her head and quickly recovering from it, placing the bowls down and grabbing the phone, disappearing from Jennie's eyes once again.

"Hey, sorry about that" Lisa spoke up and heard her best friend crack up from the other side, Lisa getting kind of confused since she didn't get what was so funny for her. "Cut the crap Manoban, you got her back didn't you?" Chaeyoung asked and her voice was full of hope, her question digging a deep hole in Lisa's chest, the woman looking at Jennie who was devouring her bowl of ramen while sitting on the couch, her eyes glued on the TV in front of her. Well actually she hadn't, at least not in the way that she had in her mind, but at least she was close to her now, she didn't have to go through losing her in every possible way. "No, no Chaeng" Lisa sighed and rested her back against the fridge door, closing her eyes for a moment and letting all of it sink in, her heart beating lightly in its crooked cell that had been damaged way too much. "I'm just helping her out, that's all" Lisa explained and looked around one more time only to find Jennie in the same position that she was earlier. "She's pregnant" Lisa whispered in the phone and heard Chaeyoung scream out a loud what in response.

"How is that possible?" Chaeyoung asked not too long after her gasp of disbelief, Lisa rolling her eyes. "I mean I know how it is possible, but, how,you know?" Chaeyoung sighed and sighed again and again, for some reason getting upset and stressed as well, this only came to show how much of a caring person she was something that Lisa adored about her best friend. "It just happened, but she's okay" Lisa said and smiled to herself, for a brief moment bringing in her head and image of Jennie, not as she was now but as she used to be and now she was going to be in a couple months holding a mini version of herself in her arms. "Alright, just be careful you two, okay?" Chaeyoung pointed out, once again her caring side coming out, making Lisa's smile grow even bigger, the woman reassuring her before hanging up. Taking a moment for herself and breathing steadily, Lisa walked back in the living room, still getting used to Jennie's eyes looking back at her.

"You know what I always wanted?" Jennie spoke up and asked something completely unexpected as soon as Lisa sat down on the floor, right next to the couch that Jennie was sitting on. "To watch the sun go down and the moon come up, the full circle" Jennie truthfully said, an idea popping in Lisa's head as soon as she saw the time on the clock, her eyes falling on the balcony door that was just a few steps away from her if not inches away. "What are you doing?" Jennie asked confused when Lisa pushed herself back on her feet, her hands grabbing a small blanket that Jennie used to cover herself when she layed on the couch, then a few cushions that were resting on the couch, the woman disappearing in the kitchen once again. Coming back within a few seconds of being gone, Lisa placed down a bottle of wine for her to drink from, Jennie looking at her with a pout on her lips.

"Come on" Lisa smiled and reached out, giving her hand for Jennie to take so she would help her sit down on the blanket that she had layed down for them to sit on, the woman placing one of the cushions behind Jennie's back so she wouldn't be in any kind of pain. "May I know what the hell are we doing by the balcony?" Jennie asked confused, her eyes falling on the bottle of wine that Lisa had brought, the woman popping the top off so she could pour some of it in a glass. "You said you wanted to watch the sun go down and the moon come up" Lisa spoke up in her lowest voice, the innocence behind her voice being something that Jennie hadn't seen in a long time, Lisa's eyes looking into hers for a moment that felt like hours in her head. She didn't have an empty stare, it was actually the exact opposite of that and Jennie enjoyed every minute of it. "Oh, I got you this earlier" Lisa gasped when she remembered something, pulling a bottle of grape juice from behind her back, she must have brought it along with the wine she brought for her self.

"It's the same as wine, minus the alcohol" Lisa laughed and opened the bottle for her, pouring the red juice in a wine bottle, placing it right next to hers that was actually containing alcohol before looking up at Jennie again. "See? No difference" Lisa smiled, her eyes analyzing Jennie's face for a little bit, wondering what was going inside Jennie's head at that moment, she seemed to be very invested in looking at the woman's face on and on. "Lisa, why do I feel like I've known you forever?" Jennie asked her eyes now looking into Lisa's who got darker suddenly, the emotion in them changing quickly. "Maybe we're both old souls, maybe we have met before and you feel like that" Lisa said without even letting a minute pass by, her hands placing the glasses down on the floor as she looked back up to meet Jennie's eyes again. "Maybe we made a mistake and went back to finding each other, changing the ending of the story, you don't  think that's possible?"
