Facade - Blacktan

009

Silence immediately followed the sound of a door opening on the balcony where several woman were eating breakfast. Leaving Korea years prior had made Jisoo much of a mystery to the elite. One didn't know if she would be charming and seemingly foolish like her twin brother or prim and proper like her mother. Jisoo was neither that nor this. 

She was her own, full of desires and memories that shaped her to be the kind of person nobody could really expect of a wealthy girl who'd supposedly seen only one tragedy in her lifetime, the death of her father. But only few knew to call that death, murder. A word that changed the horizon of everything.

"Good Morning Jisoo" Irene said smiling as she brought Jisoo over to an empty chair across her own. Irene wasn't born into wealth, it was obvious in the way that she enjoyed playing tea time in pretty dresses just like a child would. She had yet to see the difference between playing pretend and reality. Though it didn't matter too much, Jennie was the same and Jisoo had grown to adore both of them fine enough. 

"Good Morning" Jisoo said before sitting down and smoothing her pencil skirt. The other woman gave her strained smiles. Jisoo had frightened many of them after her speech to the crowd that night, the way her eyes shone in vexation. 

Jisoo subtly darted her vision around to identify the others she was with. It was all the brides maids, the three Japanese woman, and of course at the end of the table eating with no particular joy, Park Chaeyoung. The way she mischievously picked at her fruit did not pass Jisoo's sight.

"Chaeyoung would you like some butter?" Sooyoung asked with darling sincerity, "I go by Rosé, and no thank you" the latter answered in a sugary voice obviously meant to mock the girl. To say Jisoo was surprised was quite an understatement. So the goody-two-shoes wasn't as good as they say.

Her attention drifted to Jennie who was sitting next to her and casually conversing in broken Japanese with the woman to her right. "My name is Mina, I have come to keep Sana company on her stay here" Said Mina Myoi a girl with no particularly interesting assets. "My name is Jennie, I do the same with Jisoo unnie".

A few minutes in and already Jisoo was bored. She did not like making new friends as bratty as it sounded. And to her rescue came A maid with brunette bags falling just before her doe eyes entering the balcony looking lost. By now you would know Jisoo is not stupid, intelligent rather. From that night on the podium looking out at the crowd she saw both Jungkook and Lisa enter together, and again the way they bickered when she was getting her dress. If only she saw Jungkook carry Lisa away, then things would have already been in full swing. Instead things would go rather slow.

Lisa began to poor everyone a glass of tea wondering how exactly she got to be the so called tea girl. "Do give me some more" A voice sounded from her side surprising her. After all this tea serving she wasn't used to people actually talking to her. "Sure" Lisa says pouring in the last of the tea into Jisoo's glass. This was just the start.

"If I I didn't know any better I'd say you're ignoring me?" called a voice behind Lisa. The girl unconsciously rolled her eyes and continued walking down the long hallway with no response but a little smile fluttered up onto her lips in contradiction. "So you are!" Mingyu yelled running up to catch up with her before they both shared a chuckle at the way his hair flew out of place. 

"Seulgi told me that we three shouldn't be seen together too often remember. You shouting after me is not helping" Lisa answered finally. "So you're just going to give up on me that quick?" Mingyu said feigning heart break, "Oh shut up" Lisa said pushing his chest before running forward. "Yah Lalisa you can't get away from me that quickly" Mingyu said running after her.
