The Old and The New

Chapter 29

Jennie stood outside the door; refused to enter the house. She could see Nayeon, Seulgi and Irene staring at her. Her heart started to ache so badly. She couldn't believe it.

"Jennie, come in."

Seulgi persuaded softly.

"I don't believe this."

Jennie's voice was quivering too much. Yeri was holding on to her.

"I'm sorry for your loss, Jennie."

Nayeon's eyes were puffy red. It was obvious to Jennie that she was crying. Everyone was solemn and quiet. Jennie saw Jisoo's photo and the candles lighted up in front of it. She wondered if she could carry on living her life without her. All of Jisoo's memories came flooding into her mind.

"Jisoo.."

Jennie fell on her knees the moment she reached the altar. She held on to Jisoo's photo and cried bitterly. Everybody was still staring at her; their eyes were red.

"Jisoo, how could you leave me like this? I know I did you wrong, Jisoo. I know I hurt you but that doesn't give you the right to leave me forever; all alone like this. You know I need you. You know I love you so much; I was just being stubborn."

Jennie was crying bitterly. She was too focused on Jisoo's photo that she didn't even realize that everybody was missing. Nobody was in the hall with her. But Jennie was too upset with Jisoo's demise to notice that.

Meanwhile everybody was in Seulgi's room. They left the door ajar and Seulgi was behind it.

"Is Jennie still there?"

"Yes, she is."

"Does she realize we're not with her anymore?"

"She doesn't give a damn about us."

"When is Jisoo coming out?"

"I have no idea. It should be anytime now."

The rest of the ladies hung out in the room when suddenly Sooyoung's stomach was growling.

"What the hell?"

"I'm hungry."

"Ah, damn it! I should have brought in some snacks from the table!"

Nayeon regretted.

"I have chocolates!"

Seulgi bent down and pulled out a large box from under her bed. The rest of the ladies were staring at her.
