|I don't know where you're going
But you got room for one more troubled soul
I don't know where I'm going
But I don't think I'm coming home

TW: domestic violence and se*ual harassment
...
Jisoo opened her apartment door in such a room it looks like the hinges could fall off any minute now - She had just gotten a text from her bestfriend and it clearly said emergency so she ran out of the bar where she's drinking and to her apartment to pack her bags
She was blindly shoving everything she needed in a duffel bag, - clothes, money - her secret stash of chocolate that she hid from Chaeyoung - her passport and all essential cards on the secret compartment of the duffel bag
2 minutes later she was dressed in a casual high waist chino pants, a beige turtleneck shirt and a long coat - her duffel bag incongruent with the rest of her but that's the least of her worries - her top priority was Park Chaeyoung and Park Chaeyoung only.
She had snatched her car keys, bolted the door and used the fire escape to leave the apartment - she may have broken the speed limit once or twice due to the rush to get to Chaeyoung. Oh the things she do for her best friend
20 minutes later Chaeyoung was clambering in the passenger seat followed by Jennie and Lisa and they were off to the airport - "I'm with you" she said to the Aussie
"I know" she breathed out a heavy breath - they dropped Jennie and Lisa to the nearest station to report what happened in the Park household
Chaeyoung was one of the two orphaned children of two well known lawyers in Korea - after her parents died from a fatal car crash she was left in the care of his uncle and Chanyeol - her brother was shipped off to Australia to live with their other relatives
It wasn't clear as to why her uncle doesn't want a the burly 6 foot tall Chanyeol when he runs a construction business instead of a soft (eats too much for her own good) Chaeyoung but after a few months it was pretty clear why
It made her blood boil after she found out that Chaeyoung was physically harassed and violated - not even mere words were enough to describe how angry Jisoo was - she didn't want to run and help Chaeyoung escaped, She wanted to beat up that guy
She wanted him to die and she wanted him to die in her hands. Jisoo would be lying if she said she haven't imagined at least a million scenarios of how she could kill the stupid uncle but this is different
They weren't high school kids anymore - they could go to jail for murder, They're full blown adults and it wasn't like they weren't capable of leaving the country on their own
"Where do you wanna go?" Jisoo asked, they had no destination in mind but she's willing to follow Chaeyoung till the ends of the earth
"Anywhere far from here"
"I got you"
"I know"
It was not the right time to confess her big crush on Chaeyoung at this moment but all she could think of was how beautiful Chaeyoung was in her passenger seat - her eyes were screaming fear and anger but when it comes to meet Jisoo's eyes it was soft and thankful.
Jisoo reminded her that what Chaeyoung needed was a friend not a girlfriend but could potentially ruin the friendship she treasured the most.
...
Jisoo have bought them 2 tickets to Italy - it was a long flight but that's the only place where she knew people that could help them - she wasn't actually rich but she does have connections to people that are - especially people that can afford to live in Italy.
Chaeyoung have spent the whole flight huddled with Jisoo - clutching unto the girl as if she will vanish and she'll be transported back to her uncle's house
"When we get there - you're not gonna leave me right?"
Jisoo smiled painfully - oh only she can take all the pain away from Chaeyoung
"I would never leave - You will never get rid of me"
"Do you promise to never get tired of me?"
"I promise - I'll even swear it up on your uncles future grave" she had muttered the last part but she wished - oh how she wished all people like Chaeyoung's uncle would just drop dead right now.
...
Arriving in the Italy - Jisoo looked over Chaeyoung who was gushing over the flowers on display - She would be damned before she let's anything happen to that girl again.
And she keeps that promise because 2 years later they were still in Italy - Chaeyoung's uncle have long gone into prison - Jennie and Lisa visits every once in a while
They were still friends - because that's what she needed and Jisoo was about ready to sacrifice everything for Chaeyoung even if it means just being friends for as long as it takes till she's ready.
And even Chaeyoung ever did become ready to enter a relationship and choose not to with Jisoo she would be fine with - it will probably hurt like hell but it would be fine because that's what love is and what she feel for Chaeyoung surpassed the petty things in life.
Jisoo was lucky enough to get to know her and she was contented with that - she did leave an impact on Chaeyoung's life and that's all she can ever really wish for.
But who knows - there still have years ahead of them.
Maybe Jisoo gets the happy ending she deserves although one thing is sure - she would give Chaeyoung the life, the love and the care she deserved - nothing more, nothing less.
|I'm outside the door, Invite me in
So we can go back and play pretend
I'm on deck, yeah I'm up next
Tonight I'm high as a private jet
Yeah
Let's be alone together
We could stay young forever
Scream it from the top of your lungs
I don't know where you're going but you got room for one more troubled soul?|
alone together // fall out boy
