Granted (Jensoo)

Chapter 2

Jisoo sat at the park bench under the sunny sky, looking at the kids running around and the adults either reading, chatting or on their phones.

Suddenly, a painful shock ran across Jisoo's head, like a sledgehammer was slammed against her skull.

"Oh no, it's starting...has it already been that long??" Jisoo grabbed onto her hair as tightly as she could, pulling on it to try and at least counter the pain, "Fuck!"

As Jisoo struggled with the pain that was slowly crawling down all over her body and getting worse by the minute, a concerned woman went up to her.

"Hey? Are you alright? Do you need help?" she asked

Jisoo slightly looked up and as their eyes locked, the woman instantly recognized her face

"It's you. That woman that the robbers took with them"

Jisoo couldn't muster a single word as her sight slowly blurred until she went unconscious.

o-o-o-o-o

It isn't always bad when Jisoo's curse comes back. It's usually slightly bearable as it progresses along but those first moments when it hits her, especially after she hadn't had it in a while, its torture.

On some days, Jisoo couldn't fight back the pain and just blacks out completely. This seemed to be one of those days.

Jisoo slowly opened her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar room, lying in a stranger's bed.

"Where am I?" Jisoo sat up; feeling like her body was made of cement, just painful and difficult to move. The pain was enough to have Jisoo let out a loud cry.

Her pained sounds didn't escape the home owner's ears as she quickly rushed into the room

"Hey you shouldn't force yourself to move!" the young woman said as she carefully but forcefully laid Jisoo back down on her bed while Jisoo looked on, mildly confused at the woman's actions

"I'll make you something to eat alright? So stay put"

"Wait!" Jisoo called as the other woman turned to her. Jisoo motioned the young woman come to her while she subtly removed her silver ring

When the young woman was near, Jisoo reached and took her hand, putting the ring on her finger.

The pain is getting worse for Jisoo to bear that she doesn't care anymore that her face is exposed to this woman. It's either her or prolong the torture. Maybe she'll just go easy on this woman and not get her into too much trouble...depending on her wishes.

"You saved me. I'm now at your disposal" Jisoo looked up at the confused young woman, "I shall grant you 3 wishes"

The woman looked at her like she was crazy then placed her palm on Jisoo's forehead, "Your temperature feels normal" then she leaned in and stared closer at Jisoo, "Did you hit your head? That must be it!"

The young woman proudly announced, "That's why you were clutching your head so hard back there, you hit your head! I'm gonna call 911."

The woman was about to leave the room when Jisoo, despite the pain, forcefully stood up, "For fuck's sake" she said under her breath and rushed out of the room towards the kitchen

Jisoo grabbed a knife as the other woman rushed after her.

"What are you doing?!"

Jisoo turned to her with a deadpan expression and stabbed the knife on her stomach while the other woman screamed in panic.

"Oh my God!! You really are insane!!" she exclaimed

The young woman was about to run away when Jisoo grabbed onto her.
