The Old and The New

Chapter 27

"Lisa! Lisa!"

"What did you do?!"

"She fainted!"

"Of course she would faint! She thought you died!"

"Can you help me here?! She's not getting lighter!"

Jisoo was holding on to the unconscious Lisa. The poor lady fainted instantly the moment their eyes met. It was probably too much for Lisa to handle.

Lisa saw Chaeyoung in the wheelchair; she was crying. Nayeon was crying too. She didn't like the look of this. Her steps were getting heavier. Seulgi and Irene were facing them; they too were crying their eyes out.

"What's going on? Please don't tell me they found Jisoo's body?"

Lisa couldn't stop guessing. She suddenly felt afraid to come nearer. She came to a halt when she realized her feet just refused to move anymore. Just then, Chaeyoung turned and saw Lisa. She cried out her name.

"LISA!"

Chaeyoung quickly wheeled herself towards Lisa. Lisa went down on her knees and stared into Chaeyoung's eyes. Chaeyoung's eyes were extremely red. Lisa couldn't bear to hear the news. She just hugged Chaeyoung tighter.

"Please don't tell me she's gone, Chaeng."

"I'm sorry, Lisa."

"She's really gone, Chaeng?"

Lisa whispered with her shaky voice. She just couldn't believe it. She was hoping that Jisoo was alive but now the reality has sunken in. Jisoo's really gone.

"I'm sorry, Lisa. Please be strong."

Lisa broke down immediately. She cried bitterly; her heart ached so much.

"I love her, Chaeyoung. I love her so much. I regret not telling her the truth about my heart. I thought I could live without her but now, I don't know if I could anymore."

"I'm sorry, Lisa. But I'll be here."

Lisa's tears wouldn't stop flowing. She clenched her fists tightly. She really wanted Jisoo back in her life. She didn't care if it was just friends; she just wanted Jisoo back in her life; in her world.

"Lisa, I'll leave you alone for awhile?"

"Okay, I need that. Thanks Chaeyoung."

Chaeyoung left Lisa alone. Lisa went to the playground and climbed to the top of the slide. Her mind was clouded with memories of Jisoo – just her and Jisoo. Jisoo was easy to love. She didn't make life difficult for Lisa either when this dumb fool initiated a break up. Jisoo just let her go and Lisa regretted it so much.
