Rosé's POV
Last night Jennie was pestering me to go clubbing with her. Honestly it was more like threatening than "asking".
I normally wouldn't show up to events like these, cause its a little weird in our group dynamic.
I picked my phone up and it was Jennie calling me for the 100th time. "YAH, PARK CHAE YOUNG! You better already be ready cause I'm pulling up in your driveway in 5 minutes," I could hear the traffic from her end of the line. "I can't believe you're making me go so I can watch you make out with Jisoo-unnie."
Jennie hung up and that meant she wasn't playing any games.
Okay, it's time for a quick wardrobe scan.
Honestly the reason that I agreed to going tonight was hopefully catching a glimpse of Lisa.. even if it was just a second and I'd leave.
I've just been missing her so much the last few months.
Lisa and I haven't spoken for about 8 months now, though we've seen each other around at events such as these ones.
- Flashback -
"Lisa-ya! I made pancakes for breakfast, hurry up and get down here~," I called from the kitchen.
I waited a few minutes before I ran upstairs to check on her.
The door creaked open and slowly revealed Lisa, peacefully sleeping through the bright morning light.
I walked towards her and plopped myself on the spot next to her.
"It's time to wake up love, you've been in bed for almost 13 hours." Lisa huffed a soft groan, shifting under her sheets and faces me "Morning sunshine.." she beamed.
Feeling my cheeks burn up after hearing her nickname for me, as I cover them with my hands.
Lisa giggled and swiftly pecked my right cheek before she got up and dashed to the bathroom "I love your pancakes!" she said singingly.
It was the little moments like these that made me realise how much Lisa made me happy, and oh how I love her.
- End of Flashback -
I sighed and realised a lonely tear trickling down my face.
Stop it Park Chaeyoung, you need to be strong and try not to breakdown in front of Lisa.
It's the last thing she needs right now; for you to run back into her arms.
Wiping the tear away and proceeding to pick out my outfit for the night.
Pulling open the doors of my closet, I grab a black off shoulder top and it's matching ruffled skirt, my eyes catching a glimpse of a chunky necklace Lisa used to wear all the time.
It's been 8 months yet my closet is half filled with Lisa's clothes and things, and I didn't mind it because it still smells like her; bringing me comfort during the sleepless nights.
Hearing Jennie's loud honk, without a thought, I rapidly grabbed the necklace and fasten it around my bare neck. "I'm coming!!."
I made sure I locked all my doors and hopped into the passenger seat. "Chaeyoung, I'm digging your outfit!" she squealed "though that (she pokes at the lock of the chain) looks very familiar..".
Oh no! Did my brain stop working when I put it on? It does look good on me though...
"Yeah, it's Lisa's.." I gulped. Jennie stared at me wide-eyes.
"Ohmygod, Chae. I knew it. You miss her don't you?" Jennie exclaimed then giving me a smirk.
Keeping my eyes on the dashboard I told Jennie to shut it and drive.
"I don't see why you both can't sit down an-," I cut her off mid-sentence. "Jennie-unnie, I really don't want to talk about that right now.. let's just go and meet Jisoo-unnie already."
The entrance to the club was dark and secluded, but with about 3-4 bouncers by the door.
Behind the exterior walls was one of the biggest, exclusive clubs in Seoul.
Neon lights and loud music blaring as we walked through security, Jennie and Jisoo holding hands and skipping like little children.
I rolled my eyes and gave out a little laugh. It was good seeing the both of them so happy.
My heart beats a little faster while I try to scan the room for Lisa.
I could never admit it out loud, but every time I get to see her at any of our social gatherings, just looking at her never fails to make my heart skip a beat.
I managed to spot her in the sea of people, her blonde hair flipping from side to side as she yells something at the bar.
The crowd around her cheering her on, uh-oh that can't be a good thing can it?
Feeling a worried, I approached the crowd and got a sneak peak of Lisa chugging beers and inhaling shots like its air.
I got a little annoyed and was about to drag her out of her chair when I remembered that I don't have the right to do that anymore.
Watching Lisa losing herself in alcohol was something that always made me upset.
She never used to get black-out drunk or any kind of drunk before, she was the one who always made sure everyone was safe.
I liked that about her because it made me feel safe around her all the time, like she was my rock.
But I know there were feelings she felt she couldn't translate to people, and so she ended up drowning it in alcohol.
"Screw it!" I mumbled under my breath and pushed my way through the crowd.
I felt about a hundred eyes on me as I grabbed Lisa's cardholder from her, telling the bartender to stop giving her drinks.
She looked up at me and giggled "Rosé.. *hicc* is that you? Hey look eer-one.. it's the g- *hicc* girl who broke my.. this (she pointed at her heart).. hiii r-rosie.."
I have never seen Lisa this drunk before.. or at least encountered her while she's in this state.
I pulled her by her hand and once again, pushed through the crowd.
Hearing her little groupies yell "hey! Where are you guys going?".
I sat Lisa down on a bench outside the bar, it was just on the edge of a park nearby.
I furrowed my brows as I looked at Lisa, a little disappointed.
Lisa chuckled "ahaa.. chaeyoun..gie brought me to a park? ya-ah PARK CHAEYOUNG!!" she started screaming at the grass.
I stood facing her, grabbing water from my bag and signalling her to drink from it.
"What the hell Lisa, how could you be so-," she cut me off mid-way.
"yah.. jisoo.." why was she calling out for jisoo? Did she think I was jisoo now? "jisoo-ya.. i still love her so much... why am I such a pabo?".
I watched Lisa as she grabbed my hand, probably thinking it was Jisoo-unnie's. I couldn't help but give her a little squeeze.
Wait, was she crying now? I slowly lowered my head to see Lisa's face and all I could see were her tears dripping down to the ground.
I should probably call Jisoo and Jennie.
"p-park chaeyoung..," she whispered in between her sobs "why did you have to stomp on my h-heart.."
I felt her let go of my hand and buried her face in her knees. My heart ached as I felt how much hurt she was feeling. Stray tears escaped my eyes as I dialed
Jisoo-unnie's number on my phone.
She picked up and told me they'd be right out.
I hung up the phone and quietly sat down, next to Lisa.
Slowly patting her back and running my fingers in circles between her shoulders, it used to always calm her down.
Lisa lifted her face and turned her gaze towards me, her eyes still blurry with tears.
"L-Lisa-ya.." my lips trembling as I wiped her tears away with the edge of my sleeve.
Suddenly Jisoo and Jennie were standing in front of us, Jisoo frantically asking if we were okay.
"I'm sorry you had to see this Chae, Lisa's... just going through some things.
I hope she hasn't said anything to offend you..." Jisoo helping Lisa to get up from the bench, panicking when Lisa stumbled and rolled of her shoulders.
Jisoo helped piggyback Lisa into her car and drove her home, assuring us that she'll be fine in the morning.
Jennie and I decided to call it a night and head home. I couldn't sleep that night, all I keep thinking about was Lisa.
