Love In Disguise

Chapter 2 : Closure

Lisa's eyes felt like they were burning as she watched Jennie and Kai laughing together. She had never felt such a deep pain in her heart before. She thought she was over Jennie, but seeing her with Kai was too much to bear.

She turned around, trying to compose herself, but Rosé noticed her distress. "Lisa, what's wrong?" Rosé asked, concern etched on her face.

Lisa tried to brush it off, but Rosé knew her too well. "It's just...I thought I was okay with Jennie loving someone else, but now seeing her with Kai...it hurts, Rosé."

Rosé's expression softened. "Oh, Lisa, I'm so sorry. I had no idea."

Lisa's voice cracked as she spoke. "I thought we had something real, Rosé. But I guess I was wrong"

Rosé pulled her into a hug. "You deserve so much better than her, Lisa. You're an amazing person, and you'll find someone who loves you for who you are."

But Lisa's heart felt shattered into a million pieces. She didn't know how she could move on from this pain.

Two days passed, and Lisa couldn't bear the pain in her heart. She felt like she was drowning in her tears, and she couldn't face her friends anymore. She needed a fresh start, a new beginning.

As she lay in bed, she stared at the ceiling and made a decision. She would transfer to another university, one that her dad owned - M Elites University. It was a prestigious school, and no one knew her there. She could start anew life, without the burden of her past.

But she knew she couldn't do it alone. She needed Rosé's help. She picked up her phone and dialed Rosé's number.

"Rosé, I need your help," Lisa said, her voice trembling.

"What's wrong, Lisa?" Rosé asked, concern etched in her voice.

"I want to transfer to M Elites University. I need a fresh start, Rosé. And I need your help to make it happen."

Rosé paused for a moment before speaking. "Okay, Lisa. I'm with you. We'll do this together."

Lisa felt a wave of relief wash over her. She knew she could count on Rosé.

Lalisa Pranpriya Manoban, known to her friends as Lisa, sat in her room with Rosé, brainstorming a plan. They knew it wouldn't be easy, but they were determined to make it happen.

Lisa's mind was racing with excitement and nerves as she contemplated her decision. She had been hiding her real name for so long, afraid of what might happen if someone discovered her true identity. But now, she was ready to take a chance.

"Okay, so we need to get me accepted into M Elites University," Lisa said, her voice filled with determination. "And I want to use my real name, Lalisa Pranpriya Manoban. No more hiding who I am."

Rosé's eyes widened in surprise, and she set her cup down. "Are you sure, Lisa? You've kept your real name a secret for so long...are you ready for the consequences?"

Lisa nodded, her eyes shining with conviction. "I'm positive, Rosé. I'm tired of hiding. I want to start fresh, and I want to do it as myself. No more fake names, no more pretending to be someone I'm not."

Rosé studied her friend's face, searching for any signs of doubt. But Lisa's expression was resolute, her jaw set in determination.

"Okay, then!" Rosé exclaimed, a grin spreading across her face. "Let's do it! We'll get you accepted into M Elites University, and you can start your new life as Lalisa Pranpriya Manoban!"

Lisa's heart skipped a beat as she imagined herself walking onto campus, her head held high, her real name on her lips. It was a thrilling thought, but also terrifying. What if someone recognized her? What if her past caught up with her?

Rosé seemed to sense her friend's doubts and reached out, placing a reassuring hand on Lisa's arm. "Hey, we'll face whatever comes together, okay? We'll make this work, Lalisa. I promise."

Lisa smiled, feeling a surge of gratitude towards her friend. She knew she couldn't do this without Rosé by her side.

With renewed determination, the two friends dove back into their planning, mapping out every detail of Lisa's new life. They spent hours brainstorming, laughing, and dreaming, their excitement growing with every passing minute.

As the sun began to set, casting a warm orange glow over the room, Lisa leaned back in her chair, a contented sigh escaping her lips. She knew that this was just the beginning of a new chapter in her life, one that would be filled with challenges, but also with possibilities.

And with Rosé by her side, she felt ready to take on the world.

Lisa knew she had to say goodbye to her friends before she left Seoul National University. She gathered them at their favorite café, a cozy spot filled with memories of late-night study sessions, laughter, and inside jokes. Her heart felt heavy with emotion as she looked around at the familiar faces.

"Guys, I have something important to tell you," she said, her voice trembling. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves.

Jennie looked up from her phone, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "What is it, Lili? You're not leaving, are you?"

Lisa nodded, her eyes welling up with tears. "I'm leaving Seoul National University. I won't be able to see you guys as often."

"Oh no, Lisa! Why are you leaving?" Irene asked, concern shows on her face.

"I need to go back to my hometown," Lisa replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "Dad had been calling for so long, also I got a chance to follow my dreams."

"I'll miss you so much!" Jisoo exclaimed, tears streaming down her face.

"Me too," Rosé added, though she already know she can't help it, her voice cracking with emotion. "You're my best friend, Lisa. I can't imagine being here without you."

Lisa smiled, her eyes shining with tears. "I'll never forget you guys, and I'll always cherish the memories we made together. You've been my rock, my support system, my everything. But I need to do this for myself."

Jennie's expression softened, and she reached out to hug Lisa. "We'll miss you, Lili. But we're also proud of you for following your dreams, Lili."

The others nodded in agreement, and they all hugged her tightly. Lisa felt a sense of closure, knowing that she had made the right decision. She would always treasure the memories she made with her friends, and their friendship would last a lifetime.

As they hugged, Lisa felt a sense of gratitude towards her friends. She knew that she would always be grateful for their love and support, and that they would always be a part of her life, no matter where she went.

"We'll keep in touch, okay?" Irene said, her voice muffled by Lisa's shoulder.

"Okay," Lisa replied, smiling through her tears.

"Take care, Lisa," Jisoo said, her voice barely above a whisper.

"You too, Unnie," Lisa replied, hugging her tightly.

"Goodbye, Lisa," Rosé said, her voice cracking with emotion.

"Goodbye, Rosé," Lisa replied, smiling through her tears.

"Goodbye, Nini," she added, hugging Jennie tightly.
