Between Shades of Gray

XV

*Flashback*

It's Friday Night.

I decided to pick up Jennie in the hospital instead of waiting for her at home. I want to release the entire week's stress so I desperately need a drink.

Before I met Jennie and after my twin brother's death, my life was fucked up. I was really the infamous rich woman that loves partying every now and then. Besides, I don't need to work; my family is insanely rich. I don't want to do anything than partying, making out with girls, breaking their hearts in the process but fucking them real good. I was that good. I leave them sexually satisfied but broken. There are a lot of girls who proclaimed their love for me but I don't care.

Lalisa Manoban doesn't fall in love.

Love is not the answer. Love is a destruction so you better kill this love before it kills you. Love was my greatest revenge for that bitch Seulgi. I still remembered her face when I broke her heart. I didn't feel any joy in my revenge because it didn't bring back my brother's life but it gave me satisfaction to finally avenge his death.

I didn't realize that I was gripping the steering wheel so tightly. Remembering my brother's painful death made me grit my teeth. But I calm myself. I am different now. My life has meaning now because of her. Because of Jennie Kim.

Even my parents were shocked when I told them I want to work on our office. They actually even thought I was kidding but I wasn't. I told them I'm ready. And for the first time in a long time, I see the glow in my parents face and my heart feel so warm. They hugged me tightly after that. They were mumbling about something like I finally moved on and they were very much happy. They saw how devastated I am with what happened with Bam, they tried to reach out to me but I was pushing them away. Camila was the only person I didn't push away at that time because she was the one who helped me make my revenge. And Jisoo, she was my pillar.

After I parked my car, I went straight to Jisoo's office. The staffs greet me as I walk in the hallway. I am the daughter of the owner of the hospital, I should also be the one who would manage this but that was supposed to be Bam's job if he didn't passed away. He was the one who was meant to be a doctor, not me. I am in Dad's path and this place is Bambam and Mom's.

"Hey Unnie." I knock once and open the door without waiting for her respond.

"Hey Crackhead. It's good to see you here." She answered. She was sitting in her office with lots of paper works in the table in front of her.

"I came by to pick up Jennie. It's Friday night so we need a stress reliever. Want to come?" I said, sitting at the chair across from her desk.

"Sure." She answered right away putting down her pen.

"I think she's is in the Operating Room. They have this major surgery." The she looks at her watch.

"But I think her time is done already. I should go and pick her up there. Hopefully they're finished." She stands up and headed towards the door.

"What time will they finish then?" I ask.

"Actually I'm not so sure. I'll check with her."

"Please tell her I'm here." I said watching her leave.

After a while, she returned at the office without Jennie.

"Where is she?" I ask immediately, furrowing my eyebrows.

"She told me she can't make it today. The surgery took a longer time than expected. So she told us to go without her. Are you ready?"

"Did you tell her I'm here already?"
