"Yo, how is my Jendeuk is doing hmm?.." The last part was barely heard as Jisoo came in the room and two girls hugged each other tightly.

Chaeyoung heart warmed at the sight and she averted her eyes at Lisa who was curiously watching two girls behind Chae but eventually made an eyes-contact with her.

Sadness.

She opened her arms widely and welcomed her angel —who stepped into the embrace shyly— hugging her dearly, pecking on her forehead as Lisa snuggled in her neck.


"I fucked it up." Lisa grasped Chaeyoung's shirt with her voice shaken as if she were about to cry.

"No, I believe you didn't." Rosie smiled at Joy who watched the scene on the verge of tears, though she tried play it tough. "Whatever it is I don't believe it's your or Jennie's fault, nor Pranpryia's."

Lisa's body stiffened in her arms and Chaeyoung lifted her chin with her fingertips looking at her warmly.

"Don't jump into conclusions yet," Chaeyoung heard the silence behind her, light steps. "and I'm here." She softly let go of Lisa's frame and stepped away, letting Lisa see the person behind her.

Jen.

Few minutes ago in the room




I saw Jisoo and my whole body relaxed at the sight of her smile, I still felt drained so my happy pill which was also my bestfriend would do perfectly.

I slightly opened my arms and she hugged me, pulling my whole being closer as if our life depended on it.

But it dawned on me the moment her arm stroked my back gently.

I also heard muffled dialog behind the door.


If Jisoo is here...

Chaeyoung is talking to someone, and

I'm sure as hell

This someone is Lisa.


The person who can easily ripe my whole heart off, or at least,

Could.

I felt relieved. Finally.


I sniffed at Jisoo's neck and gained my determination back, I'm ready.

I softly pulled out of embrace and saw calmness in my bestfriend's eyes. Whatever could go wrong already did.

I sighed out and made my way with light steps to the door, I opened it fully and Chae moved away at the same second letting me meet her eyes.

I felt my heart squeeze at the sight,


Guilty.

Full of tears.

Yet the eyes that I loved most of all.














The eyes of my








bestfriend.

I moved fast, colliding our bodies in the tightest hug I had ever given. Lisa brought her hands to my back, reciprocating the hug with the same intensity. I could only feel her hot tears on my cheeks and the way...

Her scent.

I struggled with the plump in my throat as fresh tears threatened to fall from my eyes.



It's her.

But also not.

I felt like crying too. I think I was brave enough to assume that... I can have her again. But here we go, somehow the things and people I love tend to leave me.








"Tell me, who you are," I finally managed to whisper.











"Because you're...





not her."



---------------

"I'm not."


After Lisa's soft answer I finally took the burden from my shoulders.

It was enough for me to hear it from her lips. I knew it, it wasn't a mystery for me.

My bestfriend passed away in the car accident and I saw her last breath before I lost my consciousness. The memories were invading my thoughts suddenly and would leave me emotionally drained after.

But I needed know why Lisa has Pranpryia's body, why her and why she came so close to me, again.

"We all need some fresh air."

Jisoo placed both her hands on our shoulders and made us face each other.

I cracked a small smile after we backed away from each other and blushed out of embarrassment.

"We do."
