The Star and The Fangirl - A JenLisa fanfic

Chapter 29 - "...how can I not think about Thailand?"

During the next couple of days, Lisa would focus primarily on work and her studying in order to cope with the breakup. She knew she had done nothing wrong, but she still needed time to heal - it was a huge punch to the gut, no matter how good or bad the relationship was. She did spend 3 and a half years with Jisoo and there were a lot of things in her head she had to sort out before moving on.

But she listened to Chaeyoung's advice - she would cry, she would eat, she would sleep a lot, she would sleep a little, she would think about random things that would go through her mind - she was hurting, and she needed to hurt in order for it to heal.

Chaeyoung's advice really stuck by her, and there were certainly better days when she wouldn't think of Jisoo so much, but then there were also days when she would be in a small cafe downtown and she would hear Stay from Jennie Kim, which would make her day a lot harder. But she wanted to heal, so she decided to hurt until it got better.

The agency that she worked for was very satisfied with the work she had done so far - they were satisfied with the way the job was done, how good the photographs looked and how fast and professional Lisa would reply back with her work.

When she had the time, Lisa would usually relax at her apartment or hangout with Chaeyoung, but those moments were rare at this point due to the fact that a lot of work had to be done - whether for her college or for her work.

At the end of the day, Lisa would be just tired, but she knew she had to move on and fight on.

As Lisa was doing her studying, a phone call came from the agency:

"Hello, Lisa, how have you been?"

"Oh fine, a lot of stuff I had to do these days, but I'm not complaining!" Lisa smiled.

"Great, good to hear! We have another event that needs to be covered. And this time, it's a bigger deal. I mean, not too much of a big deal, but bigger than what we gave you so far."

"I'm listening."

"There are two reasons why we're giving you this assignment this early on in your career with us: one of the people who was supposed to do this event has personal matters that need to be resolved, and the other is that your work so far has been great. And you're really hardworking!"

"That's three." Lisa deadpanned.

"Excuse me?" the other voice asked confused.

"You said two reasons, but you gave three." Lisa chuckled.

"Well, then I can add the fourth one - you're a great listener!" they both laughed after that sentence.

"Anyway, Lisa, let's get to the event! It's a private event this time. Some of the photographs will be published on our website and social media, but most of them will go to the client - it's a wedding photo shoot. The client in question is a son from one of the higher ranking officials of the government."

"Oh wow, that sounds... important."

"It is. But we've seen your work so far, we know you're a professional. And we think you can do it. Do you accept?"

"Of course I do, I can't wait! Send me the information and I'll be there!"

"We really appreciate your commitment to our agency. If this goes as planned, the photographs might even end up on the cover of a couple of interested magazines that have already contacted us. And since our popularity has increased in the last couple of months, this exposure could really help you in your further life endeavors! It will certainly help us."
