TEMPTATION | JENLISA G!P (COMPLETE)

CH 18

Lisa's POV

It's 5am and the nights events still seem so surreal. I can't wrap my head around it all. One minute everything was perfect, the next it's all holding on by a thread. I am sitting beside Jennie holding her hand and running my thumb over her knuckles like I always do, stupidly hoping in vain the familiar gesture will ignite something within her lifeless body and she will wake up and come back to me. This isn't going to happen anytime soon i know. I can't help but flinch at the sight of her lying in this hospital bed tied to the machines; tubes coming out of her body seem to multiply every time I look at her, they are in her nose, mouth, arms. The bruises on her gorgeous face are become more prominent and her normal glossy hair is hidden behind bandages. The cuts on her arm from the glass have also received sitches. The room itself is completely still, the only noise is the horrifying noise of the heart machine bleeping away and the husk of oxygen mask. In spite of Jennie's condition she looks like she is enjoying a peaceful sleep, her gloriously long eyelashes fanned over her bruised cheek.

Jennie's father, Charles arrived a few hours ago. He walked into the hospital room and immediately his hand flew to cover his mouth whilst the other clutched his heart.

" Oh god"

" Mr Kim, I'm Lisa" My innate businessman exterior comes out to play like a defensive mechanism. I extend my hand to him which he promptly takes.

" Nice to meet you" He politely answers but is understandably distracted. His old brown eyes firmly on his daughters battered and sleeping frame.

" wha...what happened?"

" She was out with some work friends when it happened. She was shot 3 times. My mother is her surgeon and said they managed to remove the bullets but she suffered some extensive internal damage" Charles face pales

" Is she going to recover?"

I feel my bottom lip start to tremble and I run my hand through my already messed up hair " Honestly Charles, it's touch and go. She's in a bad way. In sorry, I'm so so sorry"

The older man cups my shoulder " it's not you fault Lisa. My poor Jennie." He shakes his head and maneuvers around me and takes the seat by Jennie's bed.

" Hey Jennie. What have you got yourself into now huh? Can't leave you alone for five minutes can I.." His voice starts to waver "..Now you listen to your old dad Jennie Ruby Jane Kim, you need to wake up okay. You hearing me because I can't live without my precious baby girl.."

I feel like I'm am intruding on this intimate father-daughter interaction, even if it is one sided. So I make to leave and call V and find out how the investigation is going. At least I can try and control that somewhat, also I want to able to reassure Jennie's parents that whatever is needed to catch this monster is being done.

" Sorry to be rude but why are you here?. Where is Jisoo?" It dawns on me that Jennie and I hadn't got around to informing her parents about our relationship. In fact the only people that know is Jisoo, my Mom, Rosé and seemingly now Addi although I have no idea how she found out.

" My apologies Mr Kim. Um I am Jennie's girlfriend" The shock on Charles face is evident "..I know that's the last thing you expected. We were planning on coming to visit but circumstance got in the way. Jisoo and Jennie broke up over Christmas, some serious stuff went down but that probably isn't my place to discuss."

"Wow that really is a surprise. I always thought Jennie and Jisoo were perfect for each other." I know he didn't mean it too but that was like a knife to the heart. The thought of another man being the center of Jennie's universe is abhorrent to me.
