'Her tears are flickers of gold that string souls'

*****

"Lisa, Here!" Rosé fluttered her hands to grab her best friend's attention.

Lisa glanced at her best friend and found Rosé waiting for her with Jisoo. "Chaeyoung-ya sorry for being late, I was just helping Unnie," she said sitting down in her usual spot, which is beside Rosé.

"It's fine, " Rosé pulled out a seat for her.

" So Jisoo, you are from Korea?" Rosé asked while placing the special vegan sandwiches on Lisa's plate.

Jisoo nods with a smile. "Yes, my family used to live in Korea but Dad wanted to open his new bistro in here with Kim's so we moved out," she explains.

Lisa listen to the pairs and bite down a mouthful of her sandwich letting it resolve in her taste buds

"Wait, your Dad also has restaurants like Kai's family?"

Jisoo smiled wide. "Yes we both are close friends even our parents have a proposal for our wedding"

This recent term of information makes Lisa choke on her sandwich, she gasped for air. Rosé is way more bewildered than her best friend. She pats her back "Lisa be careful with the food, "scolds her softly. Lisa nods and gulps some water,

" Are you okay?" Jisoo inquires

Lisa cleared her throat, swallowing a lump of water. "Yeah I'm good " she assured, "you're talking about the proposal?"

"Oh well, it's true. One day I and Jongin will get married... "

Rosé coughs impeding Jisoo from saying anything. "Don't you think it's too early for marriage?"

"No, it's not like we are getting married right now. We have time. We have life goals "

"But what if you find someone else?"

Jisoo frowns an eyebrow. "Someone else?"

Rosé peeked at Lisa who didn't dare to look up, she was silently munching her sandwich. She doesn't understand why Rosé is pushing so much on this topic it's too personal to ask maybe a part of Park Chaeyoung is also curious.

"Yeah, like you would meet new people in life, what if you fall for someone...else?"

It was a simple question, the answer should be no, Jisoo thought for a second. Her eyes met Rosé. She tightens her grip on the fork until her knuckles turn white. "I won't," she states. Twirling her gaze to Lisa 'I can't.' She muttered under her breath instructing herself.

For a brief time, the lunch table drops tight-lipped. Now Rosé regrets, she recognizes the marriage topic is maybe a little too much for both pairs. "That's good to know. then you seem close to your Dad right?"

This query made Jisoo chuckle lightly. "Of course. I'm close to both of my parents but Dad and I. We are like friends. Hence he is busy with his bistro but still, on my weekend he never fails to spend time with me. We go for movies and sometimes even gaming nights "

Lisa looked up, she had finished eating "You're lucky" she whispered. Thinking Jisoo won't hear

Nonetheless, Kim Jisoo did heed it loud and clear. "Why? You're also lucky I bet you're likewise close to your Dad. right, Lisa? "

Lisa didn't say anything. She clutches her uniform. Her sights stare at the empty plates. If she thinks about being close to her father.

She recalled the time when her father spent time with her. Not telling her how unworthy she is, and how much time he has squandered on her but never gets a useful outcome. She nervously rubs her palms against her skirt.
