Morning Dedication | Chaelisa Ver.

Ch 3: Not Okay

Lisa isn't sure what Chaeyoung is right now. Sad or angry? She goes with sadly angry. She can see it in her eyes. She hates that look. But she's angry too, so she does nothing to make that look go away. Because the fact that she's hurt, that her chance at doing something great was taken away from her, makes her blind. And at the moment, she can't see that she's losing Chaeyoung too.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Chaeng asks as she turns where she's sitting on Lisa's bed to face her girlfriend.

"I'm pretty sure I can do whatever I want in my own room." She crosses her arms in front of her chest and stares hard at the ceiling, doing her best to avoid those brown eyes that do things to her that she wouldn't like at the moment. "And I want you to leave. Now. I'm fucking serious, I'm tired arguing with you. Just leave." She says angrily and watches as Chaeyoung slowly licks her lips, seemingly thinking about it.

"Fine, I'll leave." She stands up and goes to open the door, making Lisa immediately regret what she said. But she doesn't take it back. "But I'll be back in an hour with the Lion King and the Little Mermaid and you better be wearing a smile because those are your favorite movies!" She snaps as she closes the door loudly behind her to emphasize that she's mad.

"Don't bother!" Lisa shouts back and she's sure that Chaeyoung heard her, if the way she loudly, and angrily, closes the front door too is any indication.

One hour later;
Chaeyoung takes a deep breath and hesitantly enters the Manoban household, hoping two things. First, that her girlfriend has calmed down by now, because she isn't in the mood for another fight, and second, that Lisa's father hasn't come home yet. The last thing she needs is seeing that man. Not that she's not allowed in here or that he doesn't know that she's Lisa's girlfriend. It's just that he doesn't like the fact and he does nothing to hide it.

Her face falls when she sees him in the living room, sitting on the couch and reading a newspaper. When he sees her too, he immediately throws the newspaper on the coffee table before standing up and coming to grab Chaeyoung by the arm and practically drag her out of the house.

"What are you doing here?" He asks angrily but quietly, because apparently he doesn't want his wife or daughters to hear him, as he closes the front door behind him.

"Uh..." Chaeyoung frowns confused and looks away from his piercing black eyes, that aren't friendly at all, because she thinks that the answer is pretty obvious.
"I'm here to see my girlfriend." She says pointedly, just because she knows that he doesn't like the fact. And also, because he's still holding her arm like it's his to hold.

"Why? Didn't she make it clear that she doesn't want to see you? Do you think that she's just saying that? After what happened to her because of you? You come here every day for months, you should be smart enough to understand by now that when she says that she doesn't want to see you, then she doesn't want to see you."

"B-but..." Chaeyoung stutters. It's true, Lisa did say that. But Chaeyoung didn't think that she meant it, she thought that she says all those things because she's hurting. But now Lisa's father is right. It is her fault after all that Lisa can't go to YG, so why would she want her around?

"I think it's time for you to finally do the right thing, Chaeyoung. It's time for you to go away and leave her alone."

Lisa quietly unlocks the front door and enters the studio apartment with as much silence as possible. She doesn't want to wake Jungkoo up, not because he isn't supposed to know that she comes home late, although it's not that late, but because sometimes he acts like a jealous husband and she doesn't need his nagging and whining right now.
