It's been 4 days jennie haven't seen lisa.she keep hoping to see her at college but unfortunately , lisa didn't come to school.jennie constantly would come to the cafe as she thought lisa would atleast be there , but her workmates told her that lisa hasn't come to work in that four days.everytime jennie got back from school , she'll went to lisa's place and wait for her there until dusk , but still , no sign of lisa.sometimes jisoo or chaeyoung would come , accompany her waiting for lisa since they doesn't want to leave jennie alone.they keep telling jennie that lisa won't come , but jennie still want to wait for her
While for her parents , she told everything to them and they can't believe it at first.jennie's dad was so mad at her that they haven't talk ever since that incident , jennie keep trying to initiate the conversation with him but he would either leave or ignore her.mrs kim was the only person that jennie could rely on for now except from jisoo and chaeyoung , she always told jennie that everything would be fine.she encouraged jennie to not give up and it really helps her a lot
"Unnie.." chaeyoung hold her arm.jennie was sitting in front of lisa's front door , hugging her knees while keep hoping that lisa would come home
"Unnie...you've been sitting at here for an hours..don't you want to eat?you need to rest too , you will get sick" chaeyoung said worriedly , but jennie shook her head with a small smile
"What if lisa come here when i leave?i'll wait for her a little bit more.." jennie said under her breath.chaeyoung was fighting back with her tears , she can't bear to see jennie like this.she looks miserable , devastated , and hopeless.she glance at jisoo and make a sign telling her to persuade jennie to go home which jisoo immediately catch it and crouched down in front of her bestfriend
"Jennie..we should go.your parents must be worried about you..we'll wait for lisa again tomorrow so let's just go home for now , okay?" Jisoo said softly.jennie lift her head up , showing her bloodshot eyes and sighed.she nodded slowly.jennie went first to the car while chaeyoung and jisoo followed her from behind , but jisoo immediately grab chaeyoung's arm causing her to turn around
"Chaeyoung.." jisoo said in a low voice , not wanting jennie to hear
"Yes unnie?" Chaeyoung asked , a little nervous under the intense stare from the older girl
"You know where lisa is don't you?" Chaeyoung was taken aback at the sudden question.jisoo gaze on her was fierce that she need to immediately averted her eyes to the floor.she pressed her lips together and immediately shake her head
"N-no..i don't know.." she muttered
"Be honest with me chaeng..i know jennie was wrong , but we can't let her be like that forever.she need to see lisa , please don't hide lisa from us.." jisoo said , almost begging.she can't stand anymore to see jennie suffered
"i..i can't..i d-don't know where she was.." chaeyoung replied , feeling guilty by lying.jisoo sighed and step forward , holding both of her hand causing chaeyoung to flinched a little while blushing slightly
"Please..i'm begging you..we need to help them fix the things between them..lisa was hurting , and jennie was hurting..so we need to do something" jisoo softly caress her hand , giving her a hopeful eyes.chaeyoung closed her eyes for and seconds and let out a sighed..nodding slowly
"Okay..let's meet lisa tonight.."
________
lisa slumped herself on the chair , sighing heavily.her cheek was squeezed against her fist while her elbow was resting on the armrest
Four days without seeing jennie's face just made her life felt incomplete..she doesn't went to school , or even went to work because she's not yet ready to meet her
Lisa keep trying to forget about everything that just happened , but it's hard for her , her eyes just caught something that would be really hard for her mind to erased.every night the image of jennie kissing with other guy keep appeared in her head.
She know there's nothing wrong for jennie to do what she wants , or to be with whom she wants to be with because she's not her girlfriend.but still , jennie made them looks like they could end up together at the end.she told lisa to fight for her , but then lisa found her sucking face with other person
"It's kind of funny when i felt like i'm the one who doesn't believe in true love now.." she let out a breathe chuckle
"Lisa..let's eat?" Tzuyu smile warmly as she hand her a bowl of porridge
"Thankyou tzuyu..i'm sorry for troubling you by stay-"
"Oh shut up...i always asked you to come over to my house before but you never come" she said , rolling her eyes causing lisa to giggles
When lisa were about to leave her house before , tzuyu immediately stop her.she asked lisa to stay at her place until she's completely fine and ready to face jennie , went to school and work
And thanks to their almost same height and size , tzuyu's clothes fits perfectly on lisa
"I'm sorry" lisa said while shoving a full spoon inside her mouth.tzuyu take a good care of her , she always told lisa about jennie came to the cafe , waiting for her ,
And she also knew about jennie waiting for her everyday at her house.chaeyoung ever told her when they are calling with each other before and lisa were crying when she heard it.she want to see jennie , but she's still need time , her heart need times to heal
Their conversation got cut off when the bell rang.they look at each other and tzuyu immediately stood up
"I'll go open the door" she said which lisa replied with a nodded.she continue eating her food but not long after , tzuyu came back inside the room , with a worried look on her face.lisa open her mouth to say something but she couldn't when she saw someone standing behind her
"Jennie.." lisa's eyes widened when she saw jennie with a teary eyes was standing in front of her
"I'm sorry lisa..they-" tzuyu unable to finish her sentence when jennie run to lisa and wrapped her hands around her body.lisa was startled and immediately tried to push her away , but jennie tighten her grips around her.jennie buried her face on lisa's chest and cried her heart out.she was happy got to see lisa again , and was glad too when she finally know there's nothing happened to her
"L-lisa...i miss y-you.." jennie said in between her sobs.lisa immediately turn her face to the wall , refused to look at jennie as the sight of jennie crying was too painful for her to see.
"I'm s-sorry..i'm r-really sorry lisa..i'm sorry" jennie said while repeatedly saying the same thing.lisa closed her eyes while took her deepest breath.her eyes diverted to the door and saw chaeyoung and jisoo looking at them.chaeyoung mouthed 'sorry' at her but lisa just shook her head telling her that it's fine.
"Let me go" lisa ignored the pain in her chest , and push jennie by grabbing both of her shoulder to break the hug.jennie heart dropped hearing the harsh tone come out from lisa's mouth.she lift her head up with tears are still dripping from her eyes , and her heart broke into million pieces when she saw the way lisa look at her , her eyes was empty , fills with nothing but pure anger and hatred
"lisa..i'm s-sorry.." jennie said again in whisper. her whole body was shaking and she hold it back by clenching her fist
"Leave" lisa said and that made jennie's heart ache.jennie pressed her lips together , prevent herself from making any noises
"Lisa..about what happened...it's a m-mistake" jennie clutched lisa's shirt tightly.lisa turn around and look at her furiously.she doesn't want to get mad , but at what she just heard was making her rage slowly built up inside her body
"Mistake?that kissed doesn't seem like was a mistake at all jennie" lisa said , gritting her teeth
"I s-swear..it was a mistake..that time i w-"
"Then how about our kissed?is that a mistake for you too?" Lisa clenched her fist tightly.jennie immediately shook her head and open her mouth to say something , but she couldn't.the burning stare from lisa made her speechless and not be able to utter any words.but due to jennie's silence , it had given lisa a wrong impression of jennie that she was now convinced that jennie was trying to play with her
"You can told your parents now jennie.. i'm sorry that i leave my job early than i should ..i just can't take this anymore" jennie's eyes widen , she vigorously shook her head and hug lisa tightly , sobbing on her chest.she want to say everything that she wants but the tears won't let her.she only can cried , hoping that lisa would take back everything that she have just said.seeing that,jisoo immediately went to them and hold jennie's hand softly. jennie was refused to let go of lisa but jisoo pull her hand with a force and carefully turn jennie around to face her
"jennie..let's go ,we'll see her again tomorrow"jisoo whispered.she's scared jennie would faint in any moment if she stay there in a long time.jennie couldn't even protest , she glance once last time to lisa to see if the blonde would stop her , but she didn't even looking at her.she slowly turn around and with a heavy heart , she leave the house
it was clearly hard for jennie to leave , but if her presence there will only make lisa hate her more , then leave is the best choice for now , she thought
"Lisa" lisa turn around and flinched a little when a pair of hands wrapped around her
"Forgive her lisa..she regrets it,please?" chaeyoung said.lisa wipe the tears out from chaeyoung's face and let out a weak smile
"Go home chaeng..it's already late" lisa said instead.chaeyoung heave a sigh and nodded , she give her a last hug before she also leave the room.after lisa heard a sound of the door got closed , she slumped herself on the bed , letting all the tears that she was holding since earlier to fall down on her face.tzuyu went back inside the room but only to found lisa who was crying again
"Lisa.." she sit beside her and caress her back softly , trying to calm her down
"It's okay tzuyu..i'm okay.." lisa said , forming a smile on her lips which tzuyu knew it was fake.she hug the blonde and let her be in her arms for a minutes , until she slowly stop from crying
"Better?" Tzuyu ask worriedly.lisa smile and nod her head
"Thankyou..but looks like there's no use anymore for me to hide in here , i'm sure jennie will come again" lisa said smiling sadly , when she think about it back , she kind of felt guilty for making jennie cried like that
"It's okay..i won't let her in if you doesn't want to see her" tzuyu said
"No it's o-" she got cut off when her phone ringing.her eyes flickered to her phone on the table and a smile form on her lips , her mom is calling her.she immediately take it and answered the call
"Hello momm-" lisa's smile fade away and her eyebrow knitted together in a frown when she heard a sound of sobs in the other line , her mom was crying
"Mom?"
"L-lisa..."
"Mom what happened?" Lisa asked worriedly , her mom was silence for a seconds , only the sound of her sniffling and sobs could be heard.lisa was about to ask again , but her heart dropped at what she heard next
"come h-home lisa..your dad.."

Jennie POV
"Jen , are you okay?"
The question that i keep received these past few days , and my answer would always be the same
"I'm okay.." i replied with a small smile.chaeyoung look at me with pity filled in her eyes , while jisoo keep glancing at me as her eyes was still focusing on the road
"I'm glad actually..." i muttered
"Why?"
I smile weakly and let out a sigh "i'm glad because lisa was totally fine..i was worried sick about her because i thought there's something happened to her.."
"I'm sorry for hiding this from you unnie.." chaeyoung said , guilty laced in her voice
"It's okay..i know lisa must be the one who asked you to hide it from me.." i said and can't help but to felt slightly heartbroken knowing that lisa doesn't want to see me.and what made me more sad is she was staying at tzuyu's place..the girl that used to have a crush on her
"Jen..can i ask you something?" Jisoo said , eyes still on the road.i turn my head to her and hummed in response
"Why don't you just tell her earlier?about your feelings for her"
I pursed my lips , my hands was fidgeting with my fingers.i badly want to tell lisa how i truly feel about her , but i don't think it's a right time
"She don't even want to look at me and you want me to tell her about my feelings for her?she must thought that i just said it to make her come back to me" i said , laughing bitterly.i already look bad in lisa's eyes so i don't want to make it worse
"Yeah..you are right.." jisoo sigh
"It's okay unnie..lisa just need time , i hope you won't give up on her..i know she's still love you" chaeyoung reassured , and it somehow made me feel happy a little.
Chaeyoung is right , i'm still not too late to fix everything..
"Thankyou chaeng.."
After jisoo drop me off in front of my house , we all bid goobye to each other.i walk inside and found my dad sitting on the couch.he look worried but when he saw me entered the house , he seemed relieved but quickly hide it
"I'm h-home.." i plastered a smile while looking at him , but he ignored me and walk away , heading to his room.i sighed and sit on the couch while covering my face with both of my palm
"Honey.." i feel a soft hand caressing my hair , i lift my head up and saw my mom smiling at me.she sit beside me and bring my head to her shoulder
"How was it?did you see lisa?" My mom asked , i forced a smile before i answered
"Yes..i see her.."
"So what happened?" My mom asked , caressing my hair softly
"She asked me to break the deals between us...which mean she doesn't want to have any relation with me anymore" i said , almost cried but i hold it back by pursing my lips
"It's okay jennie...she just said that because she was mad" my mom said trying to persuade me
"I hope so.."
"So how is she?is she fine?" A light chuckle escaped from my mouth.my mom must have missed lisa so much , how can she not?they both are very close which i'm sure lisa must felt the same too
"she was fine mom..she's beautiful as always" i said with a small laugh but as if my mom can hear the mournful in my voice , she place her hand around me and hug me tightly
"I love you honey...i believe one day you and lisa will go back like how you used to be , she just need time and space , but all i want you to do is to never give up okay?i'm here with you" her words are too overwhelming that it almost made me cried.my lips finally crack into a genuine smile and i lift my head to kiss her cheek
"Thankyou mom..i love you too"
