63 Welcome Back

You might be wondering what happened to me after that night? What happened to us? Well the answer is a lot happened since then...it's hard to explain everything now but we'll get there somehow

"Lisa! Welcome Back!" My members surprised me as I returned home from Thailand

It's been months since I left for Thailand, I went back for a lot of reasons and one of them is to finally focus and fix myself. I proceeded with my heart surgery that took place in Bangkok Thailand my hometown. I was unable to push the date any further because my condition was already at its final stages, to be honest I was scared, I was scared of the possibility of me not seeing my loved ones after the surgery but here I am! I'm back and I'm better!

"Ahhh!! I missed you guys so much!!!" I screamed running up to them and hugging them tightly, "I missed our dorm!"

"Lisa~yah I can't believe you're finally home! It's been so long since I last visited you in the hospital" chaeyoung cried like she always does

"Oh boy! Here we go her tears are unstoppable" Jisoo laughed teasing chaeng

"How've you been? Still recovering?" Jennie tapped my arm pulling me into the living room

"Woah! You guys decorated this? Awe you guys" my eyes flickered as I sat down on the couch, "Well I've been pretty good! The stitches are finally healing and I feel great!"

"That's good to hear! I'm glad you're here with us now" Jisoo hugged me from the side while chaeyoung sat next to me, "Are you excited to comeback?"

"Honestly, I'm still anxious and nervous but I think I'm ready to get back at it" I smiled thinking of the things I missed out on, "How are you guys? I just keep talking about myself"

"Rosè and Jimin are finally together like officially together" Jisoo took a slice of cake and placed it on the table, "...oh I'm sorry"

"No..no..no don't be sorry--why be sorry" I chuckled taking a fork and taking a bite of the cake, "I'm really happy for you chaeng~ I hope that your relationship goes smoothly...are you planning on telling Sajangnim?"

"Uhmmm--I don't know yet what do you think?" She asked me hugging my arms, "I'm scared of him"

"I think you should! Maybe he'll oppose at first but I think he'll understand--I don't want you guys to go through what I went through" I sighed hugging her back, "I think one of the reason why my relationship failed was because we weren't being honest about it, I was scared that they'll put us apart but if ever that was the case wouldn't that have been better than hurting each other?"

After being away for quite sometime, I've had the chance to self reflect on everything that happened to Jungkook and I. We were too caught up in our feelings that we didn't bother making a wise decision of letting our company know before jumping into things. Do I regret what happened to us? No. In fact I'm thankful because it made us who we are today. But do I wish it ended differently? Definitely.

"Are you ready to see him?" Jennie asked moving my hair on the side, "I mean you can't hide from him..."

"I don't know..." I looked down on my hand where the promise ring used to be on, "I think we've grown as individuals, maybe he's changed for the better like I did..."

"Actually, if you're wondering if he ended up with Eunha...he didn't" Jennie lifted my chin and further explained, "their engagement got cancelled--this all happened when you were in coma--she came to see you to explain but she was too late because you were already under surgery"

"But she did explain to me...after everything that has happened I think that was the very first time I saw Eunha so sincere" Jennie admitted as she pulled a letter and gave it to me, "you should open it later once you've finally rested"
