Yours Truly

28: This moment warmly entwines me

Jisoo walked rather slow, biting down her fingernails. A thin line on her forehead. Her brows furrowed. What had she done!
"Li, do you know what's up with Jisoo Unnie?"
Sierra tried to be as quiet as possible. Whispering in a breathy tone. It was rude to talk about someone to know what's up.
Lisa shrugged her shoulders. It was ages since they met again like the old times. All these days they met, sat at a cafe, thought about the differences, talked about Jisoo's election, Jennie's basketball, Rosé's dance, Lisa's cheerleading team and Sierra's drama. Now that they've came together again to just stroll around, Jisoo was visibly really stressed.

"Unnie, I know it's stressing the fuck out of you. But relax, Namjoon Oppa won't hate you for drinking. If you still feel an itch, you can talk it out with Namjoon Oppa."
"But he didn't show up today!"
"Well he's not running away or something. He'll show up tomorrow or day after that."
Jisoo felt naked, opening up to Jennie. What if Jennie makes a blunder that harms her even more? Weird, right? She ised to trust Jennie and the girls with her life.
She didn't want to spill. But if she didn't, her heart would probably stop. And she could find no one she trusts. So, she hastily told Jennie. To get it over with, you know?
Jennie threw her arms around, unaware that Jisoo hated it. Jisoo hated being hugged. Specially by the girls she once lived for. Yet, she didn't want to make it too obvious. They might as well try to help her out. She doesn't need anyone's pity. Good thing she was hwavily invested in theatre.
"Ah! Jendeukie-yah. You know, the kids won't do well without their moms. Let's head to them."

The five girls, walking down the road. Arms linked together. A certain pain growing inside them, but all they could do is devour the moment. All for old time's sake.
Sierra always loved cotton candy. How it melted in her mouth, leaving a sweet aftertaste. A moment's happiness. Shoving a chunk of soft heaven in her mouth, her eyes went towards Rosé, fiddling with her phone. A smile creeping up on her lips. Sierra trusted Jimin with everything. Jimin was kinda like her guardian angel slash brother slash Taehyung's best man, if they walk down the aisle. If they ever, she's pretty much asking Jisoo to walk her down the aisle. A giggle dancing out of her throat. A coy giggle.
"Have you lost it or are you just in love Ra?"
Lisa snickered, pulling the maknae's flushed cheeks. Rosé flung her arms around Sierra,
"Of course it's love. Duh, Lalisa, what's up with you and Jungkookie?"
"What's there to be done? I was drunk, okay?"
A blush creeping up Lisa's small face. Images of the drunken kiss flashing inside her mind. The hint of whiskey on his lips. The steamy pull inside her. The smirk on his lips, how he kissed back. How his hands felt on her waist as the room roared with cheers.
"Really, Li? Why you blushing then?"
Sierra snickered, sharing an eyecontact with Rosé. Pulling Lisa's long legs. Hugging her. Jennie flicked both their foreheads.
"Yah. Stop pulling her legs. You three are walking the same rope."
Lisa's comically widened her eyes, covering her gaping lips with her palms. She exaggerated every word,
"Chaeyoung-ah! Jimin Oppa proposed!"
She sharply inhaled. Leaning on Sierra's arms. Sobbing dramatically. Lips upturned, pouting. Cute.
"Aigoo! We lost our church girl to Park Jimin-ssi."
"Let's cry over it with choco milk."
"Sounds good."
She linked arms with Sierra. Jokingly holding her nose high in the air. Back straight, walking like a lady with her duke.
"Adios, cruel world."
Their laughter echoed all through the alley. Even Jisoo was laughing. A hearty laugh. As if a mist surrounding them. A mist called happiness.

Jungkook poked his cheek with this tongue. Everything was annoying him. Jealous of his Hyungs. Specially the ones that pursued their love. Crossing his arms on his chest. He hated how Taehyung has his love. And she'll stay, he knows Sierra.
"Dude, what's with that look on your face? Fought with Lisa about who loves the other most?"
Jungkook snorked at Bambam's remark. Bambam cocked his eyebrow, passing the ice coffee to Jungkook,
"I was kidding, but now it feels as if I guessed right."
"I wish your guess was right Bamie. Truth being, Lisa doesn't love me. Sometimes I think she does. But she never let's me keep the idea. She is blatantly honest. I like that about her, a lot. But she tells me everytime, how it's just an act. We are ACTING. Maybe we are. But neither of us are good actors."
"I-I thought Lisa ended the act with the kiss."
"Makes the two of us Bam. You ain't the only one."
Bambam saw THE Jeon Jungkook die out. His doe eyes now don't hold the bad boy anymore. Now it had a reflection of Lisa's lover. He was losing himself.
Bambam cleared his throat. His back straight, posture firm. Leaning in, seriousness wrapped around them,
"Do you love yourself or Lisa more?"
"Lalisa Manoban."
Jungkook didn't hesitate even for a second. Lisa had turned into his everything. His heart murmured Lisa with every beat. But he was Lisa's "buddy". No strings attached.
"How can you love someone if you don't love yourself, JK?"
"Selflessly."

Sierra was eager. She needs to finish this painting before midnight. She has learnt the importance of deadlines. What if tomorrow everything resets and she loses it?
Taking a deeper shade of maroon on her brush, she painted across the white canvas. She has to push these stupid boundaries. So what all looks grey to her? She'll paint in all red, all blue, all yellow and all green. You think a handicap can stop you? Make that handicap your strength.
A woman. Candy apple red skin. Mahogany lips. Wine red eyelids. Blush red pupils. Ruby red brows and lashes. Hair of blood. The sketch was appealing. Just that, in Sierra's eye was grey.
