Chapter Twenty One

Yo guys! Here's an update for those waiting hehe, it took a while so I'll make it worth it. Toodles!

--

Jennie

Weeks passed with me and Lisa going really close. I knew we had something deeper but for some reason, neither of us wants to talk about it.

And after that one visit from her parents, I convince her to open up to the world until her eighteen birthday which is a month from now, by posting the can't say no challenge after getting a lot of good responses we did another one that leads to another.

It was a series of fun. Whether it's a Mukbang Vlogs, Q&A, Shopping, Get to know Vlog, Cooking Vlog ( which mostly is just me cooking and her eating since she admits it herself how she's lazy to learn to cook and she doesn't have a knack for it ) then some Korean tour destinations Vlog which all happened few weeks ago.

That's how close the two of us got and Lisa got immensely popular to the world now.

And to my surprise, I found out about this certain ship... Jenlisa.

It was so cute I gushed about it to her for hours not to mention we're living in the same house so we're practically all over each other. We've gotten so attached to each other in a matter of weeks, I can't imagine how things would turn out in months but I surely want to know and I'm certainly excited.

But the problem is... I haven't seen Lalisa for 78 hours already! I'm so fuckin' agitated.

I have a really tight schedule since it's a season of promotion. I've been having a really busy day since last week but I always find time for Lalisa, she always finds time for me.

And fuck it if I don't see her today 'cause swear to Pete I'll gladly ditch anything for her.

I'm not used to not having her around anymore-- I want to see her now, which is impossible because Lalisa is in the other half of the world!

Yeah! You read it right.

She's having a conference meeting right now, I'm glad I got to know what Lalisa really does at times that she's not home. It's nice knowing that she's working while studying however I can't help  but I haven't heard, smell, feel,  nor seen her! She doesn't answer my calls!

Dang! I'm seriously going insane!

"Jisoos, Ruby Jane! Calm down you're hurting the poor purse! That's Classical Channel y'know, calm the fuck down."

"That's the problem Chu! I freaking can't! Oh my god. I'm going insane thinking of Lalisa when she hasn't even contacted me for freaking 8 hours!"

I grew even more annoyed when I remember how she's forgetting to contact me-- I know that she's probably busy but does it take a lot of time to freakin' call, someone?!

Or maybe she already making some calls, it's just she forgot you.

Oh God No. Fuck.

"Chu, do you think Lisa's seeing someone else that's why she's not contacting me? Did she forget about me? She doesn't like me anymore? She d--"

"Jen. Jennie. Ruby Jane!" I abruptly stopped, hearing Chu already yelling. She was looking at me with both her eyebrows furrowed. Confused about why I'm acting like this right now. Seriously I can't really blame her, this is the first time I lose my shit, worse in front of my cousin! ( who's I'm sure would tease me when things calm down )

"What's wrong with you? Seriously, What's wrong? You're being overly dramatic, Calm down Jendeuk, you're seriously scaring me."

Calm down? Oh, fucking shit! I've been getting my shit for eight hours now just because Lalisa hasn't replied to my text 8 hours ago! And I'm not getting any better!

"I can't okay?! I've been trying to calm myself down but I can't! I just keep on imagining different scenarios!" I can't help raising my voice since all I can think of is Lalisa and I can't see any logic nor reason.

I saw how amused and surprised Chu was seeing my reaction. We're inside the dance practice of Kim Agency and I've been trying to distract myself by getting these classes.

"Okay?.. Chill. You're seriously scaring me right now.." she sounds careful and honestly? She should! 'Cause any minute now I'm really going to lose my shit and if she still speak nonsense and trigger the hell out of me she's going to get it.

Silence overtakes the room but I know silence wasn't my friend right now. I know just how much silence would affect me and just like that my dark thoughts consumed me.

Don't tell me she already got over me? No. Lalisa and I had a talk yesterday! She promised me that she would never look at another woman besides me. But what if she breaks that promise? What if she saw another woman and she lost all her interest in me? No. No. No! I can't! She can't! She promises--

My thoughts were halted when I felt a hard shaking on my shoulders and suddenly I became hyper-aware of everything around me, of my body. I noticed just how much tears is pouring out of my eyes, how my heart aches from the loss of air, my shaking shoulders, panting hard; desperate for air, and Jisoo's concern laced with panicked voice.

"Hey, Jen! Jisoos! Calm down, Hey! Hey! Look at me Jendeuk please!" And I did. I stare straight into his raven eyes seeing her worried expression "Now listen to me, Breathe in.. breath out." and I did.

"Yeah just like that. You're doing great... Now, slow down your breathing.. continue doing that and good.."

The breathing exercise continued until my breathing steadied and I calm myself down from crying.

Jisoo looked horrified definitely surprised and taken aback. And then out of sudden-- she hugged me.

Tight.

She's whimpering but I didn't feel any tears from her, she was just crying silently without tears as she whispers.

"Don't scare me like that, you fool!"

I'm such a bad cousin worrying her this much. I hugged the older woman, thanking her.

"I-I'm so sorry you had to witness that *sniff* I was j-just.. panicking and it all blackout when I think of her..." I gasp, wiping my tears. "Thank you for being here, Chu. Thank you."

Her hug tightened as she slowly let go.

"Just don't do that again, you hear me?" I nod seeing her genuine worry.

"I'm sorry really. I can't just help it when It's about Lalisa y'know. It's like she's all I see and honestly that thought scares me but you see Chu... I can't stop myself from falling--heck, I think I already did."

She sighed as she looks at me with all seriousness, she was about to speak when I heard my phone ring.

Lalisa Calling...

I shit you not! The moment my thumb hovers the accept button my heart picked up its speed, the butterflies wake up and my whole aura including my mood improved in a way that even- I, couldn't fathom.

As I heard her say:

"I need you, Jen."

I lose all my shit completely; all in a matter of seconds; without a second thought.

And before I knew it, I ended the call, look at Chu who has a dumbfounded look on her face ( which I think because of how fast my mood changes, She saw me breaking down just a minute earlier and now I'm all in a good mood just because Lalisa called me ) she's perplexed and I totally understand her.

I am too, honestly. But that's the least of what I care about.

"I need dad's jet Chu. I'm going to Los Angeles right now."
