"How's everything going?" Jennie ask Lisa as the latter call her to check on them. Lisa left yesterday but for her its like been forever.
"We're okay, the project was well presented and I think once jongkook go I can go back there too, no need for me to stay here."
"Is that so" Jennie answer, "wait, jongkook will go?"
"Yeah, when his boss come he will fly to Korea to go back on his pending projects there. We prepare everything we need and I think Lucas and Amy can handle this together with their team."
" if it's okay to leave it on them why you need to go?"jennie said like a whisper. She don't have to say it but she want to hug lisa right now.
"Why, you don't want me to go?"
"I will never wanted you to go"
Lisa take a deep breath "we talk about this already, you know to yourself you needed this too Jen"
Jennie stay silent on the other line.
"I got to go, please tell princess I missed her and I love her so much"
"I love you" Jennie said, lisa knows Jennie were crying.
"I know, and I love you more" lisa hang up the call. She can't stay in line cause crying Jennie was her weakness. She might fly back home and forget about the confusion Jennie is feeling right now. She can't do that because she know in the end she's the one who will suffer.
" are you okay?" Lisa turn around looking we're the voice came from.
" yeah.. thanks for asking" Lisa is about to stand up and go but the person stop her.
"You know talking to a stranger will be nice" the person sit down near where Lisa is sitting awhile ago.
"I'm sorry but do I know you?"
"Let's say I'm a stranger ready to listen and a stranger who have some story to tell too" the person give Lisa a sincere smile. Lisa sit back in the grass she was sitting . She give the stranger a questioning look.
"Don't worry, I'm not a psychopath or a bad person, but I'm a person who can read eyes, and I saw yours were sad"
" I think we're just the same"
"Yeah, will maybe we're the same bird"
"What?" Lisa chuckles
"You know... same feathers flocks together" the laugh too.
Lisa and the stranger talk about life, about what's happening in both their lives. The strangers tell lisa about the life problem the strangers going through.
"So you dad send you here cause your doing nothing in your life"
"And I keep ignoring the fact that I'm getting older but I don't want commitment" the stranger laughs " poor old dad can't see his grandchild"
"your an only child?"
"Uhmm"
"Same as me but I'm not spoiled as you. And I give my parents a grandchild"
"Correction, it's not yours"
Lisa smile fades, "oh I'm sorry... to be that tactless, but your so dumb leaving the love of your life and the daughter you raise as your own just like that. while all your life you keep fighting for them"
"You know what if you find love and commit, you'll understand me"
"I don't know maybe if I'm in your shoe, I won't leave them unless this Jennie is the one who pushes me away. Cause you know losing grip to someone important might give them a sign that it's okay to let go even they want to hold on"the stranger stand up " it's really nice to let out your emotion outside but bare in mind kissers are not involved. So all they can do is listen. They will give advices, advices that could help or could ruin more your situation. You two should be the one talking and fixing this, you know" the stranger start walking
"Hey, we're are you going?"
"I have a life too, don't worry try to fix what's to fix in that life of yours and if it can't fix anymore..." the strangers look back, Lisa saw the most beautiful smile she ever see, as beautifully as Jennie " who knows maybe I might be your destiny" and the strangers turn her back and walk again leaving a smiling Lisa. The heaviness that she's feeling for a couple of weaks now seems be lighten.
Jennie's pov
My tears keep falling as I wipe our picture frame inside our living room. Princess and Lisa's smile were annoying to look. I hug it as I remember how happy we are. How perfect our relationship and this special family we have. Lisa is thinking I have feelings for Kai, that I was confused. I try to to ask myself if I really feel that way, It only came out in one conclusion. When I saw princess were happy being with her dad I end up dreaming for a normal family for her. Princess is young , her feeling were irrational sometimes but when she will start to understand life she will question everything and I don't want that to happened. Lisa will be more hurt and I'm afraid when time times that princess will ask me to choose between her and Lisa I afraid I will choose my daughter. I look again at the picture. You know what? your the one to blame. Seems like you love her too much that you pushes her away from you. I put back our frame back to it place. I take my phone and call someone.
"Hello"
"Rosè, I guess your right and you were wrong too"
" in what part?"
"I'm confused yeah your right about that but not with my feeling towards Lisa. I was confused because I'm afraid that one day princess will make me choose between them when she realize she wants a normal family"
"Jennie are you hearing yourself?" Rose laugh at the other line. "Princess is not the problem here you both are! Don't drag your daughter always about your decision making cause admit or not you both have a stuck up mind! You just being used in what you have, you decide you love each other in a very fragile situation and you both make each other responsibilities. Poor princess always the one who blame on your stupidity"
"Rosè..."
"be with Kai or who ever you want to be, ignore Lisa for awhile and if your feeling for her is still there you knew you can't do anything that could hurt her. And please stop bothering Lisa for a moment. She needed this space Jennie. You both need this" she hang up on me. Aside from Sehun Rosè is the closest friend of Lisa. I can't be mad at her cause she's always true about her words, the last time she came her and we had a talk, she warned me not to hurt Lisa. She told me she can see in my eyes that's there something bothering me and when I disagree with her she said I am confused. After that I distance myself more from Kai cause I don't want to give Lisa the Benefit of the doubt. But Rosè is right I need to face this. What ever this thats bothering me.
