Loyal Servant (Jensoo)

Chapter 24 - Switching (2/2)

Jennie POV

I never really thought that Jisoo would like Rosé but I mostly ignored it because of how selfish I was.

"Are you really sure you're gonna do this?" I asked and Jisoo nodded. "Yes Jendeuk. I am." She said as she clenched something on her arm and stared at her ring.

"Why the effort though? We could always run away." I said hoping it would convince her. "Running away won't solve anything. It will only delay some stuff. This will eventually happen." She said and it just made my mood go down.

I then thought about Lisa and questioned why I liked her. I can't really give her the blame for this though. This was my own selfish emotions.

"Jichu.......don't do this....don't leave me again." I said as tears started to form again. "I really want to stay too but I can't do that." "Protecting you has always been my priority." She said as she scooted over to hug me.

"How do you do it?" I asked talking about how she keeps her emotions at bay."Do what?" She asked. "You know just concealing your feelings." I said and her mouth went an 'o' shape. "I just know how to." She said which made me laugh a little.

"That's ridiculous." I said. "It really is." She said before awkward silence filled the room.

"Can I make you something?" I ask hoping we could create our last memory together worthwhile. "Go ahead your majesty." She said and I just smiled before I left the room to go to the kitchen.

I intended to make us a snack since today would probably be the last time we would have tea time. Majority of the people that worked under the palace already left so it was pretty much empty.

I went ahead and took some flour, yeast, and milk for the sponge. I also took some eggs, more flour sugar, salt and butter for the dough. For the egg wash I took out one large egg a tablespoon of water and some sea salt for sprinkling.

I know this is a lot of effort but I wanted to make it worthwhile.

Once I finished preparing I took the product into an oven and waited. I went back to my room to have more talk to Jisoo before the it was finally ready.

Jisoo already prepared the place as is was cooking. I took out the brioche with my gloves on of course and served it.

"I guess today's snack is brioche." Jisoo said and I smiled at her. We talked more and more and laughed too.

I guess this day was filled with laugher and bright smiles but I only hope I could still be smiling even when Jisoo's not here.

The day of execution

I know Jisoo told me to stay away but just after I got her message from our bird I just had the urge to see her one last time.

I was hurting and it didn't even started yet. I'm an idiot and I'm aware. I don't know why the gods had to toy with us of all people.

I wore a hood she gave me and went to the place where she'll get executed. Tears were at the verge of falling but I know Jisoo didn't want that.

I didn't even bother looking at Lisa but I just stared at Jisoo as my tears only gathered and my vision went blurry. I closed my eyes as I let my tear fell.

I clenched on the bottle where she placed her message for me.

One last time I smiled out my gummy smiled just before her head got cut off I saw her heart-shaped smile for the last time.

Tears soon flooded me and I ran as far as possible. I was trying to get into an isolated place so that I could cry all by myself considering I have no one now.

"Jisoo...." My thoughts went to my sister's name and I cried harder. My heart just broke and I wanted to kill myself but Jisoo would be dissapointed. I can't just die knowing she died for nothing.

The sun was setting and I'm still crying. I decided to walk towards the ocean as I remembered our star-gazing.

I hesitated opening the bottle but I eventually did it. A note was there saying:

Dear Jendeuk:

By the time you're reading this I'm already dead. I know it's a lot to take in but I want you to enjoy life. I want you to give a gummy smilee even if I'm not here.

Surely there would be someone else you could still call as a friend. I'll always be watching Jen even if  you can't physically see me. So fight ok? Fight even if it hurts. Fight even if you're tired. Life has always been cruel to begin with.

Enjoy your life Jendeuk♡
I love you♡

-Your dearest sister/bestfriend Jichu

I was reading the message awfully slowly and I didn't even realized that it was night.

Just after reading the first paragraph I felt my knees go weak as I knelt onto the sand. I cried and cried until no more tears fell from my eyes.

I regretted my action. I really did. I wanted to go back in time to fix everything. "It would be nice to go back in time." I thought to myself before I cried even more knowing no one would come and comfort me like how Jisoo does.

I didn't even realized that a person was here with me until she spoke.

"Hey are you ok?" She asked and she looked worried as my eyes were puffed and red clearly from crying. "Isn't it obvious that I'm not." I said sarcastically as I laughed bitterly.

"I can listen you know." She said handing me a hand. "You already know who I am but why?" I asked confused. I'm pretty sure everyone would know my face by now.

"A friend of mine always helped those in need. Even if they did something horrible they deserve a second chance." She said as my tears just never stops falling.

"Geez is there an infinite water source behind my eyes?" I asked myself as my tears just never stops.

"T-thanks." I said vulnerably. "No problem! Come on let's go to my place." She said and I let out a small smile. "I never got your name." I said hoping to get a name from the kind stranger. "I'm Im Nayeon. Just call me Nabong." She said and I smiled. "I'm Kim Jesoon but I guess you can call me Jennie." I said. "Well then nice to meet you Jennie." She said

I felt a spark of a new friendship to begin but that said I still won't forget Jisoo at any point. I owe her my life after all. I only wonder if she's still watching over me from somewhere.

Sorry for late update my laziness dragged me to live on pinterest.

This is me getting annoyed by my laziness except I'm way more ugly
