JENNIE'S POV

Watching her motionless body lie on the hospital bed I felt helpless. Whenever I closed my eyes, I could still hear the loud sound of the gun against my ear. I remembered everything vividly.

Everything had happened so suddenly that I still couldn't shake the thoughts away of that evening. It had been a month since Jisoo had sunk into this deep sleep and my hands were tied. I missed her but I couldn't do anything to bring her back.

Jisoo had risked her life to save mine but I couldn't even feel grateful when I was so close to losing her. Every passing day the darkness was swallowing her deeper and I was terrified that she wouldn't wake up again and look at me with her beautiful eyes.

Rose was by my side during these hard times. She was making sure that I was taking care of myself and eating properly while I was waiting for Jisoo to wake up. I was by her side 24/7 since I wanted to be there when she opened her eyes.

Fears were swallowing me into the darkest parts of my mind and the scene of Jisoo getting shot was replaying constantly in front of my eyes.

*FLASHBACK*

After Jeongyeon had shot Jisoo the police had neutralized her by shooting her on the shoulder. Jeongyeon dropped the gun immediately and started to run towards the fire escape but the police were faster.

When Jeongyeon's tight hold was gone, I ran over to Jisoo but she had already passed out and blood was oozing out from the gunshot wound just above her heart. Paramedics had arrived immediately and started to first aid on her while I was shaking with the fear of losing the woman I loved.

"You deserve to rot in hell, Jisoo!" Jeongyeom screamed when the police were taking her away and I couldn't stop my tears.

My eyes drifted over to the gun Jeongyeom had dropped and felt the chills. A female police officer put a blanket around me and helped me to stand so I could be taken to the hospital. I was shaken to my core and I couldn't speak for hours.

Lisa and Rose had arrived at the hospital shortly after the incident. My sister had hugged me for minutes to calm me down.

"She promised me that I will never walk alone." I said, Rose's arms tightened around me.

"She will not leave you alone," she said trying to reassure me that everything was fine.

"Nobody is telling me anything about her condition," I said and Rose looked over to Lisa.

"She is currently undergoing surgery," Lisa said and my heart dropped.

"Surgery?" I asked worried and Lisa nodded.

"They are trying to get the bullets out of her chest," Lisa said and I couldn't believe what I heard.

"Bullets? She was only shot once." I said but Lisa looked at me with worried eyes.

"Jeongyeon shot her three times," Lisa said and my heart sank.

I had only heard the loud banging sound of the gun once but within seconds Jeongyeom had managed to shoot Jisoo three times. I collapsed into Rose's arms in defeat.

"I can't lose her again," I cried out and Rose tried to calm me down in her arms.

"Shhhh," Rose said and started hum a lullaby.

My eyes closed with the calm of the melody she was humming. Something was familiar about this melody and I couldn't keep my eyes open for much longer.
