Seulgi's POV

It's been long enough, hard enough especially for that one particular person. I'm now Jennie's manager, since she got back on her feet, her schedules is crazy. Not to say that she's moving on, works are all excuses, I still catch her with wet eyes sometimes. Most of her songs are sad, I guess that's when people said when an artist get hurt, their paper bleeds. Despite all, she still taking care of her health, I know she's still broken inside, but not in the bad shape like the early stage. We've been through a lot, all of us that close to her, I guess she never left and she's living within us.

The company been busy lately due to upcoming debut of the new girl group, and my job won't allow me to slow down. With Jennie being booked left and right, and I have to support to manage the new artists, maybe this is a sign for me to unwind a bit. So I decided to chill out with Chaelisa since we haven't drink with each other for quite a time now.

"Well, I guess I bought too much for the three of us. But it's better to prepare extra than to be sorry if the alcohol wasn't enough." I said to myself while inside the elevator to my apartment. When I entered the living room area, I was shocked. Lisa literally on top of Rosé, KISSING. These two horndogs really making out on my couch. "CHAELISA!!!!" I shouted at them and they looked surprise. "Unnie, it's really not me, she seduced me." Lisa said and pointing at Rosé. "Remind me to change my door passcode and believe me I won't tell you guys anymore." I said annoyedly at them. They just giggled at my warning and told me to stop being salty since it's just a kiss. God knows what would happen if I didn't come early.

Two bottles of champagnes almost gone, now we're half way of the Royal Salute. Not drunk but definitely not in the right mind either. Rosé is being weird, a moment she's being touchy with Lisa, then suddenly dancing with the music blasting through the speaker, but food never left her hand. Yup that's really her when she's drunk. Me and Lisa just chugging the alcohol and laugh at her silly dance but the mood change quickly when a song come out from the speaker. It's Jennie's. We're sitting while listening to every words she poured in the song. I should've invite her for tonight, it's been too long we didn't hangout together. I saw Lisa smiling and continue to pour the drinks for us, smiling but her tears drop down her cheeks. She suddenly unlock her phone and put her phone up, leaning it to the empty bottle. Jisoo's photo. My tears couldn't stop rolling after I saw the photo, she's smiling too brightly, too happy in the photo with our arms linked to each other.

"Let's drink with us for this round unnie." Lisa almost couldn't finish her words and raise her glass so that we can toast together. Rosé is crying hard now, barely can raise her glass. Glasses are raised but nobody can utter a word, the music long gone, the air feels heavy now, we're missing her, extra missing her for tonight. Years of her absence, time couldn't properly heal us. "Unnie, are you up there watching us? We're okay here, a lot of stuffs going on but nothing that we can't manage. Jennie unnie.. she's fine, just a bit busy with work." Rosé said while me and Lisa couldn't even look at her photo anymore. Now the alcohol really tastes bitter, she was right after all. Alcohol will tastes bitter when you drink them with a heavy heart or sad. I don't know if I was pretending to be okay all this while, or maybe I'm just like Jennie, occupying myself with work just to forget, or it's just that I really miss her tonight. Stupid Jisoo, we really loves you, how could you leave us like this?
