Nayeon's POV

"Why are we here? I thought we're gonna meet Lisa and others?" I asked as I looked around the club we are currently in right now.

Jennie and the girls told me to go out since I've been locking myself in my apartment. Those weeks I haven't seen her again is complete remorse. I should've stopped her and talked with her but yeah, I became a coward.

I keep thinking about her and that has caused my insomnia for the past weeks that went by.

"Well, the tops said that we should have time together. I don't know, I think they're gonna have time together too." Irene chuckled as we sat down in the VIP seats.

I think Jennie bought these seats earlier and to tell you guys, Lisa does have a sugar mommy. And that's the one and only, Jennie Ruby Jane Kim.

"They look a bit off."

We all giggled at what Jennie had uttered when she saw those macho dancers who tried to flirt with us and some of those boys in the other VIP seats.

"Hey, ladies. I can see that you don't have companions with you. Mind if we sit here? I'm sure you don't—"

"Sorry but we mind. We don't need companions here, Mister. You may go now."

The guy looked offended when Jennie cut her off, making us snort from behind. Does he think that we need companions like them?

"But—"

"They don't need someone, boys. They have us, now go." Lisa came out of nowhere, glaring at the boys who scoffed before walking away.

Jennie looked confused before asking, "why are you all here? I thought you all are gonna go out too?" Lisa smiled before kissing her lover.

"We all followed you here after we went to Somi's apartment—"

"What?!" All of us shouted at the same time. They went to that bitch?! I still hate her right now.

"Lisa..."

"Love, calm down. We went to her to ask where Y/N is. And what happened to them in America."

"Them?" My eyebrows raised, "are they together in there?" I asked, earning a little nod from her.

"Well to tell you guys what happened..."

*/FLASHBACK (trigger warning!)

"What are you doing here? Like really? I think your girlfriends would be mad at me more if they find out that you're here." Somi sighed and crossed her arms.

She was about to have her beauty sleep when Lisa, Seulgi, Dahyun, and Tzuyu barged into her house.

"We just wanna ask something, Somi-ssi. We want an answer." Lisa seriously said, making Somi sigh because she already knew what question does she need to answer.

"It's about Y/N, isn't it?"

Lisa nodded before biting her bottom lip, "y-yeah. I mean, we found out that you were with Y/N when she was in the states, and... we wanna know what happened to her."

Somi smiled slightly and nodded. Y/N told her not to tell what's the reason why she left but Somi know that the truth will come out soon. Somi knows that all of them will reconcile too.

"I shouldn't tell this to you because Y/N told me so, and I don't think you all deserve an answer but yeah. This is the last thing that I could do." She sighed.

"Y/N left because her parents told her to. They found out that you all... you all left her alone and went to Nayeon. She became depressed and yup almost took her life." Lisa's eyes widened.

"W-what..."

"She was about to hang herself but yeah, her parents stopped her. That's why they took her away from here and asked me if I can accompany her for a while since they need to take care of their company too but they always make time to visit their only child. Of course, I said yes and there, we became fond of each other." Somi smiled.

"Y/N learned to trust me and open up to me. She also told me how much she loved Nayeon back then and how she cared for all of you. But now she realized that right now, she only has me and her parents." Lisa and others looked down in guilt.

"We're sorry, Somi-ssi. We're sorry for hating you before because of your feelings for her, for Y/N." Somi just nodded.

"It's fine, you guys. Although I still like her, I didn't help her to cope with her depression just because I'm expecting any return. I just want her to be okay, that's all." Somi sighed.

"Thank you for taking care of her, Somi-ssi. Thanks for everything." Somi nodded and smiled.

"Anything for her."

"No..." I whispered as I felt a stung in my eyes. Tears started to brim my eyes as I looked at those who were tearing too.

"She... she almost... it's because of me..." I breathlessly uttered, I can't feel my hands but I felt hot tears stream into my cheeks.

"It's not just about you, Nayeon-ah. All of us are at fault here." Irene sighed and wiped her tears.

"Did you ask too where we can find her? It's time to talk to her because I wanna apologize." Irene asked.

"Yup."

*/FLASHBACK CONTINUES

"Where can we find her, Somi-ssi? We badly need to talk to her..." Dahyun asked with eyes puffy from crying.

"Well, she told me she'll gonna drink with Rosé and Jisoo—"

"Wait, who are they?" Lisa asked.

"Y/N's friends when she was in States. Rosé who's an artist—a singer to be exact and Jisoo unnie who's an actress and a singer as well."

"Oh... uhm where are they gonna drink?" Somi hummed.

"Moon and Star's Club."

*/END OF FLASHBACK

"That's all she's said and then, we left."

"Wait..." Irene looked around, "Moon and Star's club? Here?!" Irene's eyes widened as her mouth parted a little.

"She's... with who again?" I asked.

"Rosé and Jisoo. I don't know them but I think they're here." Lisa answered and looked around, same as the others.

So she's here? But with girls? Who are they? Does one of them become her lover?

"I see her!"

All of us averted our gaze to Dahyun who was pointing at someone in the VVIP room. It's for the friends or relatives of the owner only so no one can buy or avail that place.

"I'd always count on your eyes, Dahyun-ah." Momo kissed her before she went to the VVIP room where we followed her.

"Y/N..." Irene unnie called her, I am still holding my tears when I see her again.

She grew taller than us. Her hair looks the same but her face changes. It became more mature, became more attractive.

"Irene unnie? What are you... doing here?" There was a long pause in her words when she saw me.

I bit my lower lip and looked away when I felt hot tears flowing down my cheeks. I felt stabs on my chest, feeling myself being broken again.

"Who is she, Y/N-ah?" Jennie asked, I know she knows I wanna ask the same question but I don't have any strength to do so.

Y/N looked at us all before she averted her gaze toward the woman who was holding her hand.

"I'm Lee Ji Eun. Nice to meet you all."
