Where am I? Please let me go. Helpppppp. I want to go home. I swear I won't tell anyone. please my family needs me
Present times
"Did Jungkook just leave? I thought he'd stay back to talk to me" Jisoo says coming out of the shower with a towel over her head
"Yeah, he left. he has football practice after class tomorrow. So I don't want to keep him here for long" Seulgi says
"Football practice? I haven't seen him for two years and he went because he cared about foorball practice? Does he not wonder where I was? Does he not want to at least ask me how I am?" Jisoo says being hurt by his sudden disappearance
"Listen Jisoo, a lot has happened when you were not here" Seulgi says clearly not wanting to bring up the *elephant of the room*
"No matter what happens, how could he just leave like that? It's like he doesn't care at all" Jisoo says trying to hold back tears. It's her boyfriend and she has all rights to feel hurt
"He doesn't" Seulgi says
"Excuse me?" Jisoo asks as if she didn't hear her
"He doesn't anymore. Him and I, we are seeing each other" Seulgi just blurts out
"Oh" Jisoo says and just looks at her sister. She feels betrayed, backstabbed and most of all, amazed at how easily Seulgi said that.
Yet, she pretends to be okay with it
"Yeah, that's----that's great--- for you two, I guess. I mean, I am happy. Honestly, I didn't expect him-- you know--- to be single after all these years. I mean, i didn't---- didn't realize that it'll be you but---- you know---- it's good. Good for you two. I am really happy to hear that" she says trying to show how she doesn't care
"Where is father?" she asks instead trying not to stay stuck up on that topic
"He is on his office, he'll probably be late today" Seulgi says
"But he doesn't work" Jisoo says
"Didn't but now he does. I didn't want him to stay at home all day and think about how yoou and mother left him. It was affecting his health. No one was around to look after him when I went to college. So I motivated him to get a job to keep his mind diverted and seeing how much he has been enjoying working and being with me, i genuinely wish that he took this step before" Seulgi says
"Oh" Jisoo says for the second time. Seulgi's way of saying things like this feels hostile, feels as if she is trying to prove how much better she has kept their family and Jungkook sorted instead of the time when Jisoo was in charge
"I guess, I'll just go to bed then. I am really tired" Jisoo says and as she heads up she looks back
"Seulgi, don't you have any question for me?" she asks
"Are you okay?" Seulgi asks in quiet voice, just enough for Jisoo to hear
"How can you expect me to be okay?" Jisoo wants to yell
"I am perfect" she says instead and walks inside the guest room and for the first time in her life, she feels like a guest in her own house

"Jisooyaaa" Jisoo wakes up to the voice of her father the next day"Abba" she says and hugs him. She thinks that yesterday was a dream, Jungkook is still her boyfriend and Seulgi didn't mean anything she said but watching her stand in front of the door with her hands crossed, Jisoo quickly realizes that it wasn't a dream
