Yours Truly

32: The end of wandering which I was waiting for

Their chatroom was pretty much dead. They were all fed up of writing and talking about what changed. So they were slowly stopping to text each other.
But a sudden notification garnered all their attention. It's been ages since they talked in that chatroom.

Ra
Guys?

Nini
Hey!!!!

Lili
Here!

Rosie
Ssup!

Chichu
Yeah?

Ra
I have an announcement to make.
Kim Taehyung is moving in with me.

Sierra bit her lips, her heart still beating fast enough. She toyed with his fingers, lying in his lap. She curled up in his embrace, murmuring,
"Oppa, are we going too fast?"
He kissed the top of her hair. She smelt like caramel and vanilla. His fingers circling on his back as she played with another hand. His velvety deep voice low and comforting,
"Are you feeling uncomfortable angel?"
"No... It's just that what if we end up just doing everything so fast that we don't have anything to do later on and... And... I don't know... Maybe... Um... Drift apart?"
"Love, I won't walk away from you that easily. Maybe we are going too fast, but I just am anxious that time will change and so will we. But if you by any means, want to slow down. I will halt this very moment and wait for you to be ready. I'll wait for you forever and ever and ever after. Whereever you go, I'll walk the same road. Whatever it may take, I'll follow you to the ends of the world. I love you and this love won't fade away soon. It will be enough to last a lifetime."
"I love you, my sweet prince."

Jungkook was genuinely happy for his twin. She was so in love with someone that was equally lovestruck as her. Jungkook reread the text Sierra sent him. Taehyung is going to move in with her. He smirked, toying with his cellphone.
Lisa gulped, feeling a burn in her temples. Her eyebrows furrowed together,
"Who is it, Jungkook-ah?"
"Um... No one, Lalisa."
Jungkook quickly put his phone inside his pocket. Rolling his eyes. What were they? Just make believe. He was done. He was done with all of this.
Lisa tugged him by his arm, making him face her. Anger at the tip of her nose. Jealousy on her quivering lips. A peculiar emotion in her big doll eyes.
"Is it some other girl?"
He scoffed as sarcastically as possible. Brushing away her hand from his biceps. His voice hoarse,
"Why the fuck would you even care? WE are just acting, Lalisa. A-C-T-I-N-G. Acting. Their's nothing real going on between us. So you shouldn't be worried baout this..."
"HAVE YOU LOST IT JEON JUNGKOOK?"
Lisa hit his chest, baffled by his words. At the highest of her vocal range. Eyes popping off of the sockets. Jungkook held her balled fists in his strong hands, gentle and careful enough not to hurt her even the tiniest bit,
"You can say so, Lalisa. I'm thinking of stopping this act. Couples break up every now and then. If someone asks the reason for 'LisKook' the power couple's break up, tell them with all the emotions, that I cheated. I'm sure you know how to act."
Lisa fell on her bed as she watched Jungkook walk away. She can't imagine Jungkook leaving her. But what was she expecting? He was the playboy and they were an act. She suggested that every single time. They were an act. That was the only way she could ever protect her heart from breaking. But now that he is walking away, she knows how wrong she was. It's breaking her heart more.
Tears engulfing at the corner of her eyes. What was happening to her? Why did it hurt so much? Jungkook would never be hers. She didn't even want him to be. Until a few months ago. Why was this happening?

Rosé sat their playing with her fingers. Her chest going up and down abruptly. It was her turn next. She has to audition and make it. Otherwise she loses the chance to apply for her choice of colleges.
"13. Park Chaeyoung."
Rosé got up. Slowly inhaling deep breaths. She has got this. She has practiced since last fall. 5 and a half months are enough for an one minute audition.
Jimin tapped his feet, eyes fixed on the love his life. Black hair into a ponytail. A cropped tee, fitted yoga pants, ballet flats. Stealing a glance at him, she fixed the music.
His voice playing at the background worked as a spell on her. The first song they sand together. Their song.
Her body looked light as the feather. Satisfyingly hitting all the beats. Her flow was like the water. She danced with all her heart. Acing all the pirouettes, using the whole stage wittily enough, using the floor to her advamtage, her expression's and Jimin's cover went hand in hand. Emotions flashing through her. With tiny mistakes that she quickly covered up. She had aced the choreography for "My heart will go on".

"Unnie?"
Everything halted. Jisoo felt a wrenching clench in her heart. Lalisa Manoban was crying. Tiny sobs from the other side of the phone. Jisoo felt her back straighten without her will. Her motherly instinct back,
"Where are you right now?"
"Me? I-Am-Um... My... Unnie... My... H-home."
"Okay, stay put, I'll be there in 5 minutes."
Jisoo cut the call, not wasting a single second. She needs to be there for Lisa. They need to be there. Enough of the blame game! What's done is done. If her girls need her, she will be their.
Her fingertips recording a voice message as she stormed towards Lisa's place. Everyone of them need to be there.
"At Lisa's Place. It's an emergency. Lisa just called up and she was crying. Whatever and whenever it might take, you girls have to be there. Even if for a minute. Even if you are late. Just come to Lisa's place okay?"

3 phones dinged at three different places. And three of them knew exactly what to do. In a second, Sierra was out of Taehyung's embrace and getting ready to go to Lisa's. Her girl needs her, her girl gets her. Rosé promises Jimin that she will call her and gets a cab. She needs to be there for Lisa. Jennie paints a tiny peck on Yoongi's cheeks before putting her hair in a ponytail and running for Lalisa Manoban. All she had in her mind now was her girls. Once again, the force has been assembled.
