The Old and The New

Chapter 26

"KIM JISOO!"

"Why are you "KIM JISOO" me for?"

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU NOW?"

Judging from Seulgi's shaky voice, Jisoo could deduce that Seulgi was trying hard not to cry.

"Wait, did Mina told you about my plan?"

"WHAT DO YOU THINK!? AND WE THOUGHT YOU PERISHED IN THAT DAMN FLIGHT!"

Jisoo bit her lower lip. She has a long explanation to do.

"Where are you now?"

"I'm at the airport."

"Meet me at the café near to Jennie's place."

"You're still alive, right?"

Jisoo rolled her eyes.

"You have been talking to me for the last five minutes. What do you think?"

"Jisoo, please tell me I'm not dreaming."

"No, you're not. I'll see you in half an hour."

Jisoo hung up immediately and sighed. She has never expected that ill-fated flight was the flight she should be flying to US. If not for Grandmother Park, she would have died alongside the other passengers as well. Jisoo was stunned upon realization.

"Oh my god, I could have been dead now."

Seulgi and Irene were already at the coffee shop with Nayeon as well. Jisoo sighed as she approached them cautiously. But Seulgi didn't wait. She ran up to her and pulled her into a tight hug. She even burst into tears.

"Hey, I'm here. Don't cry."

"You have no idea how scared I was. You have no idea how worried I was. You have no fucking idea how devastated I was when I saw the news. It was so difficult to breath, Jisoo. I almost died when I heard about the plane crash!"

Jisoo bit her lower lip; tears were brimming in her eyes.

"I'm sorry. I just realized how fortunate I am now. I could have been dead by now, Seulgi but I'm so glad to be right here with you; with Irene unnie and Nayeon."

"Jisoo, I'm so glad to see you right now. You're still breathing. That's more important, Jisoo!"

Nayeon was caressing her back gently. Irene could only smile before leaning closer and wrapped her arms around Seulgi and Jisoo together. The three girls cried in each other's arms while Nayeon discreetly wiped hers away.
