Rationale // Jenlisa [BOOK 2/3 - COMPLETED]

chapter eleven | the comeback

*27 missed calls from Kunpimook Bhuwakul*

*21 text messages from Managernim Chahee*

*30 missed calls from Park Chaeyoung*

*10 text messages from Kang Seulgi*

*5 text messages from Baechu-unnie*

Those were the notifications that immediately popped out on my phone when I turned the device on after two weeks.

After Jennie's adventure in Bukhansan National Park, I've decided to just turn off my phone and focused on work. I didn't know what came up but I felt the wound of the past again, when I got lost on my own world, my brain letting me watch a certain memory of yesterday. And, I felt that she no longer needs me.

I guess, she already found somebody else and that's not me.

That's the point. They all wanted me to be dead because of the failure of me not getting conscious of my feelings towards a certain person, that I should've been selfish about it. That, I could've kept it myself for the better of tomorrow.

Why do they have to say such things like that? Have they tested already the outcomes of loving someone? Who are they to control other people's lives?!

After that scenario with Jennie's dad, I felt my heart go black and I felt it locking, secluding itself from the name 'love.'

It felt like loving someone was the biggest sin that you could ever do in your whole life. It felt like loving had a boundary to happiness. I felt, hopeless. I felt, heartless. I felt, lifeless.

In those two weeks, I was thinking about life thoroughly that I focused and self-love more for I felt that this inverted séance was kind of getting nonsensical already. Maybe she doesn't need me anymore, like did she ever need me in the first place.

With that being said, I've decided that I'm going to let her go.

She needed someone and maybe that's not me. Fate may be taking our sides but we can never be too damn sure about it. There are seven billion people and I hope someone would treat her right, better than I did.

But, I want to see her for the last time personally before letting her go.

Locking the front door behind me as I got home from work, I went straight to my bedroom to change into something comfortable. With that being done, I blankly stared at the ceiling as I laid flatly on my bed.

When I was about to fall asleep from exhaustion, my phone rang.

*Hirai Momo calling*

I immediately answered the phone call because she never calls me if it's not important. That girl, jinjja.

"Yeoboseyo?" I said and I pulled my phone away from my phone because she shouted at me.

"Yah, Lisa-ya! Come and see me tomorrow! I have a gift for you, pabo." Said this Japanese dancing machine with a loud tone.

I just laughed at her and she groaned in annoyance. "Yah! Why are you laughing?"

"Nothing, I just missed your voice. The call was pretty unexpected." I said and she cooed at me.

"Nado, bogo sippo, Lalisa." Momo said sweetly. "If you do miss me, come and see me tomorrow! I'll send you the details of our meetup tomorrow."

"Wait, are you in Thailand?" I asked her.

"Pabo! I'm here in South Korea! Aren't you here too?" I facepalmed myself, she doesn't even know that I did pseudocide.

"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow then." And she ended the phone call easily.

With a sure mind and heart, I started to pack my things and bought a plane ticket for tomorrow, add to the fact that I asked for a week off after getting a promotion from the company.

Get ready for the comeback of mine, South Korea.

----

Dropping most of my things on the hotel room's floor and laying straight on the soft bed it gives, it felt so good to be back in South Korea.

This country gave birth to most of my childhood memories, teenage memories, up until my college memories, even if the day before graduation was the worst day ever.

Standing up and walking to the balcony of the hotel room, I inhaled some air and felt the Korean atmosphere around me. It really felt so good to be back home.

When I was taking my time in enjoying this reunion of mine with the country, someone called me, interrupting my moment with my surroundings.

"Yah! I thought you'll just text me the details for today?" I teased her, it was Momo again.

"My fingers got lazy to type the info so why not say it through a phone call instead?" She replied like a wise man. This girl, really.

"Hm, you have a point." I said and we laughed together.

"1 pm later at the mall, the Twice members and I are spending our day-off together. So, see you!" With that being said, she ended again the phone call.

Why does she always leave people hanging, though?

I looked at my wrist watch and saw that it was already 12 pm. I fixed myself and ate lunch for now so I will not eat anymore at the mall.

----

"Lisa-ya!" I heard Momo said as she engulfed me into a hug, Dahyun was behind her, sighing at the sight.

We're here now at the mall inside a boutique of a certain brand of clothes and we unexpectedly saw each other.

"I missed you, Moguri!" I said as we pulled back from the hug. "Hi, Dahyun-ah!"

She smiled at me and offered a hug which I accepted. "Where are the others? Maybe you two took this opportunity to spend some time together."

They blushed together and Momo was the first one to speak up. "Somewhere, shopping for clothes." Momo said and began to look for clothes, Dahyun copying her.

We spent the remaining time like that, looking, searching, and fitting some clothes and buying if it fits our tastes.

The three of us, me lowkey being a thirdwheel, were on our way to Starbucks when Momo stopped us.

"God Jihyo is talking to someone, look." She said and we hid at some post to look like secret agents.

My throat began to get dry, my heart began to speed up, and my legs began to get jelly.

It was her, my first love. Jennie Kim.

Kim Dahyun spoke up this time. "That's Jennie Kim, the supermodel."

"Lisa's first love?" Momo said, smirking at me. "How did you know, Moguri?"

"I don't know know, a lucky guess?" She said and I playfully hit her.

It felt so different upon seeing her in person from getting to just see her through a camera. She's more beautiful and gorgeous in person, fit for her title. Jennie Kim's a living goddess.

When the two was about to walk towards the said café, I stopped them.

"Yah, I can't go there.." I said and they looked at me with concern looks.

"Lover's quarrel?" Momo asked and Dahyun looked at me as well.

"We were never lovers, Momo." I said sadly and the two of them patted my shoulder. "Mianhae, Lisa-ya."

Momo brought out an envelope from her bag. "A small gift from me, you're welcome."

I looked at the contents of the envelope and there was a backstage pass and a concert ticket. It was Twiceland live in Seoul.

"Hope to see you dance the night away with us, tomorrow." She said and we bid our goodbyes before they entered the cafè. Tomorrow night's gonna be fun.
