*Phone rings*

" Jennie- " it was the voice of the brunette's father

" dad? " she answered back.

" I saw everything " the old man said, after hearing her father's words the brunette cried again.

The pangs of guilt stabs her deeper than before. She want's to blame her lover but she blame herself more.
As the thought of not being worthy to be choosen.

Her friend died, she didn't even help. People died, because she exist. And her girlfriend is nowhere to be found.
They held a small ceremony for Bobby. A week already passed. They learned that Bobby lives alone. No family that will grief, but them. Lisa haven't return. No sights of shadow and footsteps. No words heard.

Bobby's smiling face picture was put in a frame. Hanged on the wall,she stared.
Even though Bobby was a snob at first, the brunette discovered that they have the similarities. She was like that before, cold and stern. Yet, when they're with their friends, they become the different versions of themselves.

More carefree, warm and joyful. With their friends they're youth. Jennie recalls the time they have with Bobby. She smiled as she remembers how crazy he is. And how soft the man towards Lisa is. The man treats her lover just like a sister. The brunette thought they're enemies, she's wrong. They're just pushing each other's button.

" Can-can y-you go here with your friend tonight? " her father's voice shaked.

" Are you okay that ? " she asked with a concern tone.

It took a minute for him to speak again.
" uh-yes it's just that I miss you " the brunette's heart warmed at her fsther's word. " let your friends come, I want to meet them "

" I'll ask them dad " Jennie replied.

" I-need to go for now okay? Later dinner... " the man hanged up.

Weird. Jennie thought. Her father isn't like that when making a call. He is always calm and cool. Maybe because of what happened.

Jennie shrugged off her thoughts and went to the kitchen. There, Irene and Neyeon bickering who baked the better cookie. Lucas who's staring at a glass of water. And Yeri, secretly grabbing a cookie.

" Guys " the brunette effortlessly got their attentions.

" hey " Lucas smiled a little.

Jennie noticed how the boy changed. He became less active and talkative.

" My dad invited us for a dinner " Jennie fidget her fingers together, getting shy.

" Really? That's great " Nayeon smiled and went to her " I'm gonna prepare now " then she gave the brunette a kiss on the cheeks.

" I'll go tell the three too? " Lucas asked for permission. Jennie nodded and mouthed thank you.

" are you okay? " Irene spoke when Lucas left. She walks towards the brunette and console her.

" I'm not " it was honest. She still grieving for their friend and for the people. The pain got worst when Lisa didn't go home.

" I- I can't do anything for bobby and, the people, children,and uh " she shutter as she speaks. Her tears became evident, from her swollen eyes. " I should have stopped her from saving me, I'm no used, I don't have the abilities I " she falls on her knees. Curling up beside the counter.

Irene bended to meet Jennie's face.
" It was not your fault " the woman smiled. " We still don't know the reasons behind her decisions Jen "

" She choose me because I'm her girlfriend, and I' mad at he for that. " the brunette gritted her teeth.
"why would she save me rather than those people" she shook her head.
" I'm only one Irene, those who died are thousands. "

" Maybe that's her reason, that their's only one Jennie Kim " Irene said.

" where's the justice in that?, I'll live my whole life with guilt, I'll live a life I don't deserve. Those kids, they still have dreams, those adults have missions and the elders wants to live more... " Jennie stated while crying her heart out.

Irene hugged her. If only she can take away the burden she will. Jennie was already traumatized.

...

* At the Kim's *

Jennie felt nervous when their mansion is too quite. No guards roaming, no servants who opens the door for her. It was dead silence.

" Jennie you look pale " the blonde looked at her.

" Where are the people here jendukie? "  Jisoo questioned, although she has this unwanted feelings that stirred her mind.

The brunette didn't answered and went inside. " Jennie " his father shouted running down the stairs. His face is concern and scared at the same time.
He hugged his daughter and scanned her face. " I'm glad you came " the father is on the verge of tearing up.

Her friends are watching behind. It was a wholesome father and daughter scene. " Oh they're you friends , please come...welcome to our humble home " He greeted the visitors.

Jennie observed that his father is acting strange, He's panicking. " where's the servants and guards dad? " her brows furrowed.

" oh I told them to go home for a while, because of what happened " He answered without looking back at the brunette.

" Since there's no chef, I cooked the foods myself " her father proudly said, but his sweats are covering up his face.

Went they arrived at the dining area. Everyone one of them took their seats. The atmosphere became awkward because of the silence. They're all feeling uneasy.

" Can I have this Mr. Kim? " Yeri broke the silence when she asked and pointed out the pasta. Mr Kim smiled " ofcourse,  please don't hesitate to eat " he scratched his nose.

Everyone busied themselves getting the food they want and started to make conversation. The brunette keeps an eye to her that. On her peripheral vision she saw how her father's hand shakes.

" Dad ? " She  calls out.

Her father looked at her with diverse emotions flashed on his face.

" I'm sorry " the words came out as cue. All of them stopped and diverted their attention to the brunette'as father. The old man was crying. Holding the utensils tight.

" Everyone is here " A familiar voice echoed. It sent shivers down to their spines. Hairs on their skin stood up.
On the entrance, the doe eyes leaned on the the wall.

Their mouth opened in shocked. The latter was not ash blonde anymore. Her shoulder length hair is now shorter, and jet black. Wearing a black and gold turtle neck dress, she grinned.

More to it, her face is covered in bruises. Along her eyes,lips and claws on her cheeks. She walked behind Jennie's father, and whispered.
" Great Job "

Their eyes widened at the sight. With a smile reaching her ears. Lisa's eyes glimmered in Crimson Red.
