Lee Jennie was woken up by her familiar ringtone. She glanced at the time and saw it was only 9AM. Groaning and grumbling under her breath, she wondered why the people didn't let her sleep!
With sleep heavily weighing her down, Lee Jennie picked up at the last ring. "Hello...?" She answered, barely able to keep her eyes open.
"Gasp! How could you pick up on the last ring? Why not the first or second? I know the little hermit doesn't have a life." Kim Lisa teased, the same way she always did.
Their friendship not only build of a strong foundation of having each other's backs, but it was also build on constantly teasing and joking with each other. Not all friendships were comprised of endless compliments and flattery. What was the fun in doin just that?
"I was hoping the big shot wasn't so lonely to count each ring?" Lee Jennie tiredly mumbled.
"Because this big shot has made it big, she doesn't have any trustworthy friends..." Kim Lisa pouted, faking a sad tone that caused Lee Jennie to laugh.
"I suppose this big shot wants a company to brunch?" She mused hailing the closest taxi.
"Surprisingly, this glutton doesn't want to eat right now. As a matter of fact, she wants to see you in the First Hospital." Kim Lisa hummed.
"Taehyung has finally woke up yesterday, and I thought it would be ideal if we both visited him." Kim Lisa said, while getting into her private driver's car.
Lee Jennie crossed her arms. "Why do I have to tag along?" She was suspicious of Kim Lisa's tone. Was this woman setting her up again?
But that was an unlikely scenario, since Kim Lisa's older brother was the CEO of the famed Kim Enterprise.
Even if Kim Taehyung's ancestors crawled out of their graves to beg him, he wouldn't attend a blind date, much less, humor the idea of it.
Kim Taehyung might've been connected to an IV drip and barely conscious, but one lift of his finger, and Lee Jennie would've been thrown and banned from the country's top hospital.
Lee Jennie doubted her Lili would even think of the foolish idea of pairing her up with Kim Taehyung.
"You have to tag along because you, my dear, saved his life by donating blood. You're his saving grace!" Kim Lisa happily said, nearly laughing at Lee Jennie's skepticism.
Lee Jennie scoffed. "His saving grace? Oh please," She rolled her eyes. "All I did was connect my hand to a needle and give him blood, something easily renewable in my body. The doctor who performed the surgery on him did all of the important work."
She hailed down a cab driver and told the name of the location.
"But you came here first." Kim Lisa added on.
"Huh? I came first? What does that even mean?" Lee Jennie's brows furrowed together at Kim Lisa's confusing words.
Kim Lisa faked a heavy sigh of disappointment. "Jenjen, after all these years at Harvard, I was hoping you'd come back with a better brain-"
"Says the genius who abandoned her incredible violin skills." Lee Jennie snorted. Before Kim Lisa became a renowned supermodel, she used to be a popular violinist. But just like Lee Jennie played the instrument not because she wanted to, but because her parents forced her onto it.
When Kim Lisa applied for college, she was instantly accepted into Julliard in New York, but opted for a different school. Since her second choice of college had an outstanding name and title, her parents didn't hold against her.
"Touché my dear, touché." Kim Lisa laughed.
It it was anyone else saying such words to her, she would've flipped and insulted them. But this was her beloved Jenjen. Her words were knife-sharp, but when it was said to Kim Lisa, she had no intentions of cutting her with it, and Kim Lisa knew that.
"But going to back what I was saying, before someone rudely interrupted me..." Kim Lisa blatantly hinted to Lee Jennie and if she was standing their in person, Kim Lisa would've glared at her.
"Don't glare at the poor leather seats." Lee Jennie smiled when Kim Lisa huffed. She knew her Lili all too well...
"I was not glaring at the seats!" Kim Lisa resorted, stubbornly crossing her arms like a child caught red handed for stealing cookies.
"Now stop distracting me! I'm trying to make a point here!" Kim Lisa whined, huffing and puffing.
Lee Jennie bit her bottom lips to prevent another bubble of laughter. She actually wanted to hear how Kim Lisa could convince her.
"The doctors came second, you came first. Without your amazing B-blood , the doctors would've not been able to complete the surgery and save his life! Therefore, you came first, which makes you his saving grace." Kim Lisa triumphantly said, proud of herself for thinking of such good reason.
Lee Jennie raises one amused brow. She was too lazy to argue and refute her friend, so she simply went along with it.
"Alright, alright, I suppose you're right." Lee Jennie said like a tired mother. She was still a good few minutes away from the hospital whereas Kim Lisa had already arrived and was going up the elevator.
"Hmph, I'm always right!" Kim Lisa said. Just then her phone buzzed again. "My mom is calling me. Text me when you're at the hospital."
"Okay I will see you later." Lee Jennie said, hanging up the phone.
Since Lee Jennie wasn't rushing the cab driver to get there under ten minutes, the man drove at a normal speed. Sensing it might take a while longer, she placed on her earbuds and hummed the tune of her favorite song.
'Beneath the blossom tree,
A white lotus blooms, Surrounded
by buds that try to mimic her
A vine is tugging her down
A girl in white,
wandering through the field of white,
A man runs through the field of black,
She walks without a might,
He runs like a knight,
A girl in white, wandering towards the tree
Pink against white
White against black
A lotus that reaches
A vine that attacks
A girl in white
A girl in black, clothes tainted in red,
Beneath the peach blossom tree,
A single lotus blooms,
For the lovely girl in white."
