Broken

Epilogue

LISA'S POV

It has been almost a year since we graduated. And true to Jennie's words, we did counseling to defeat our demons in the past. It took us 6 months to finish the course and I could say that it had helped me a lot.

Jennie went home with Jisoo right after she was discharged from the hospital. They decided not to wait til school breaks cause Jennie wanted it to be over and done with. As per Jennie's story, they shed too many tears but then again, her parents understood her and decided to forgive Kai since he's already gone.

At the time of our graduation, I was surprised that my father showed up at the ceremony. I was expecting that I will have no one to come for me exept Chaeyoung's family and Jennie's.

Yes, I am already close to Jennie's parents since they are visiting Jennie more often here in Seoul after they have learned what she had been through.

Another shocking news is that my Dad wanted me to work under his company since he insisted that I have a share in the company since I turned 18. The dividends under my name are being kept in a bank account under my name too and was given to me at my graduation too.

I was stunned. I never knew he will do that for me. Although he keeps on giving me allowances, pays my tuition and my house bills, I never thought that he will include me into his company since his new wife doesn't want to do anything with me. When I asked him why he did that, he just answered, "You are my only child, Lisa. Whether she likes it or not, you have the right to own my properties and everything. I just wanted you to have a good life and I am sorry if I failed to be a father to you."

He said those things with guilt in his eyes. Like he wanted to cry but he is keeping himself from doing so. In the end, I initiated to come closer to him and hug him.

In my counseling, I learned to accept that we cannot have the family, love or even the life that we wanted. We have to work for it to be able to do so. In my case, both me and my Dad failed to work through our relationship and I just hated him for that. That hate grew and grew until I was drowned in it and cannot recover.

I was only reminded that my father still cared for me during our session. When I was asked of what kind of relationship do I have with my father. When I told him that all he did was to nag at me telling that I should study and to not waste my time in bars and on random girls, aside from filling my bank account with money and my fridge of food, he suddenly smiled. After he smiled, I realized that he did cared. I was just blinded by my anger for him that I am being pissed at everything he's doing for me.

As I was hugging him, I felt his body shaking. And when I pulled from the hug, I saw him crying but those are happy tears.

I smiled remembering that day. The day i reconciled with him finally. But I didn't accepted his offer to join him in his company. I wanted to build my own business. The business that I will not get tired of doing.

After getting the money from my dividends, I talked to Chaeyoung, Bambam and Jackson if they wanted to join me on my new venture. That is to build a recording company where new bands, groups, or soloist can record their demos. If we like their demos, we could produce it into an album and market it. Thankfully, the guys liked the idea and partnered with me to realize our plans.

As for Jennie, we bacame official, two months after I told her that I love her. We didn't made it official as soon as in the hospital cause we know that we need to stablize ourselves first. We don't want to jump into a commitment not fixing ourselves first.
