The Truth Hurts ( HIATUS )

Chapter 24

( Jia's POV )

" Jisoo!" I heard Tao call as he barged into my room. It was around 10p.m. and I was lying down in my bed staring up at the ceiling.

" Yah," I replied, sitting up.

" I can't sleep," he pouted, " Can you sing me a lullaby?"

" Uh," I hesitated, " Sure?"

" Yay!" He exclaimed like a child. He then rested his head on my lap and I began singing. After a few minutes, he dozed off and my eyes slowly began to close. Without knowing, my head fell lower, and lower, until my lips touched Tao's.

" Okay!" I woke up pushing him off of me. I tried to wake him up, but he was fast asleep so I positioned him to sleep on one side of the bed while I slept on the other.

*** The next morning ***

" Jisoo, wake up," I heard a gentle voice whisper. I opened my eyes to see Tao standing there with a cup of coffee for me to drink.

" Awww, thank you," I yawned.

" No problem," he kissed my forehead.... which baffled me.

" Don't you have a fiancée?" I asked as I backed away from him.

" But I don't like her," he responded, moving closer to me.

" Well, you're getting married to her, not me," I remarked, backing away from him one last time.

" Oh, I'll make sure I marry you soon," he then leaned forward and pecked my lips.

( Jisoo's POV )

It was 11:00a.m. and once again, it was a lonely day cause Tae- Hwan was out at work. I didn't wanna waste my life in that apartment so I decided to secretly go out by myself and explore the city. BIG MISTAKE.

I was wandering around the streets admiring the tall buildings when I heard someone shout, " Jia!" I quickly turned around to see three tall, muscular men running towards me. Ugh, would people stop with the Jia thing?!

I literally began sprinting through the crowds as if I were in the Olympics. I was forced to stop when I knocked down someone.

" Crazy girl," I heard her say after she had fallen onto the floor.

" Sorry!" I shouted. Even though I only got a glimpse of her face, I could tell that she looked a lot like me, which kind of creeped me out, but I didn't let that distract me from escaping these people.

( Jia's POV )

Great. I was on my way to visit my mother in the hospital and the last thing I needed was to end up there too. I was knocked over by this woman who was frantically running up the pavement.

" Crazy girl," I snarled.

" Sorry!" I heard her shout. Rude. She didn't even stop to help me up. I took a look at her face and she looked really familiar. She looked.... Like me!

" Jia!" I heard my boss shout. I was baffled. I then saw my boss and his entourage chasing after the girl. Wait, so if my real name is Jia, and I'm pretending to be Jisoo, and Jisoo looks identical to me, then... Is it really who I think it is?

" Jisoo," I whispered to myself as my eyes grew wide with shock. I thought she was dead! Guess I was wrong! Well, Jennie was wrong.

Hurriedly, I stumbled back onto my feet and ran in the opposite direction, praying that Jisoo nor my boss or one of his workers would catch me.

( Jisoo's POV )

It's been five minutes and I'm still running in the same direction. That's until I turned right and ran into a subway station. Without thinking twice, I slid through the doors of one of the packed subways to get away from the men.

Sadly, they managed to fit in too, which made me very uncomfortable... And scared. I slowly began to back away from the gang when I tripped on someone's handbag and landed on another person's lap.

" Sorry-" I cut myself off when I saw that it was Tae- Hwan.

" Guess my lap is a hotspot," he laughed, " What are you doing here, kitten?"

" U- Uh, I," I stuttered, " Fine, I left the apartment."

" Why?" He asked.

" It's so boring in there!" I pouted.

" You know, there's an entertainment company looking for trainees," he informed me, " You know, to become Kpop idols."

" And you're telling me this because..." I trailed off.

" Because, I know you have talent. Trust me, you'll make it," he told me.

I'm not surprised he knows I can sing. I sing in the shower, while I'm brushing my hair, while I'm cooking... Basically all the time. He's right, I should at least try to audition, just to make my life a bit more exciting...
