Born Pink

2| The Beginning of the End

|Jisoo POV|

I felt like I am the worst human being ever born on this planet.

I knew. I knew everything. I knew that these would happen. I knew this is how tragedy would strike them. I could literally see that every time I saw them together.

But, I did not say anything.

For the sake of giving them temporary happiness, I took away their life altogether.

Just what kind of unnie am I....who could not save her sisters?

My tears dried up as I pulled the ashes which was previously Jennie and poured them all in the hourglass.

Oh my dear Jendeukie, you have no idea how much I long to tell you the answer to your question....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lisa was beautiful and graceful even when there was no sign of life left in her. The shattered glass all around her reflected the first rays of sunlight that was beginning to creep on the sky. It gave her a divine halo, as if she was an angel and who had been betrayed and pushed towards her demise.

I picked up her remnants and quietly pushed them inside the hourglass I didn't know I was clutching so tight. My hands shook violently as quiet sobs escaped my lips. 

I could not control the tears. I could not control my sister's fates. I could not even control myself. I could not control anything.

I clutched the hourglass close to my heart and cried my heart out.

Lisayah, without you.....happiness has no meaning....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I almost thought I could save the last person who mattered to me the most.

So I ran with all my might, pushing the doors open one by one to reach that one bathtub. Chaeyoung must be there. I know she must be there.

Chaeyoung-ah, hang on. Wait for me. Don't leave me alone.

That was all I could think of as I ran.

But.....

Fate had specifically chosen us to shower all the bad lucks upon.

I shrieked at her, begging her to wait....but her head was already submerged in the dark liquid.

And slowly.....

I saw her cripple in front of my own eyes. 

And.....

I could do nothing.

I could not save her.

Yet again.

I forgot to cry. I forgot to tremble. I forgot to scream. I forgot to curse. I forgot.....myself.

I became numb to emotions.

My body, heart, soul felt empty....black.....a much more darker shade than the ink in which Chaeyoung just ended her life.

I looked up at the bathtub. Something felt unusual. Getting up with the strength left in me, I staggered towards the wretched thing and peeked inside. Something was moving.

Was Chaeyoung still alive?

With a newfound hope in my mind, I slowly reached out to pull that moving thing. My hands, which expected to find the body of my beloved sister so that it can pull her up, was met with a wide emptiness.

No....at least I need to get her last remnants.

I continued searching with both my hands, until the moving thing came in my grasp. I pulled it out.

It was a small ball, smaller than my palm. But, it was beating, like a heart.

Chaeyoung-ah...is that you? You left me.....this?

I looked up towards the heavens, which remained eerily quiet even after seeing this misfortune. 

A drop fell from above. The ceiling was broken, and it had started raining. Slowly, the rain started to fill the bathroom until I was half submerged in the cold water.

Jendeukie, Lisayah, Chaeyoung-ah....

I promise you, I will help you get what you want. I made a mistake of not warning you properly before. I will mend this mistake.

Wait for me..........

I can stop the tears if I want to
