Lisa's POV

I know I took a nap on the plane, but instead of feeling refreshed. I feel like shit. I can barely keep my eyes open. I almost fell asleep standing waiting for my manager and Chaeyoung's manager to pick us up at the airport.

I shut the car door and sat down. I leaned my head on the window and closed my eyes.

"Lis? Are you ok?" I heard Chaeyoung asking me even though I was half asleep.

"Hmmm?"

"You're still sleepy?" I know you're worried about me Chaeyoung, but can you please be quiet.

"No shit Sherlock." I slurred.

"Lollipops are edible." "Shut up brain." I said in my head.

"But, lollipops are edible." "Yeah, I know. Now shut up."

A happy tune filled my head. I skipped my way through a foreign land made out of candy and chocolate. The sun was a bright pink. The air smelled like caramel. I looked down and notice that I'm not wearing clothes. Am I having a wet dream? This isn't good. I continued to walk past chocolate bark trees, with mint leaves. Until I saw a figure hanging above me. A thick piece of peppermint rope was around her neck. It was my mother. She swayed back and forth. As if she was slow dancing to the happy tune. "Lisa." She called out. "Lisa come join me." Another noose was dangling from the tree.

"LISA!" A voice stirrs me from my stupor. Chaeyoung was near the car door, tapping my shoulder trying to wake me up. "Yeah?" Still not able to keep my eyes open. "We're here." I took my backpack and stepped down from the van.

In front of the hotel was a large fountain. Behind it is the pavilion where you can drop passengers off or pick them up. It's also where you can drop your car off for the valet. "Jisoo and Jennie are a little late from traffic. It's going to be at least 30 minutes for them to get here. You can wait in the hotel lobby. We will grab your suitcases and take them to your rooms." Our managers notified us. Then they left us at the entrance.

Chaeyoung walked in first. While I followed. She sat at one of the couches. I took a seat next to her. "What were you dreaming about?" No more lies. I'm tired of lying.

"I was in this land made of candy. I wasn't wearing clothes and I was walking and I saw my mom hanging on a noose. She said"Lisa come join me." Then you woke me up." I finished.

"Oh."

"No questions?"

"I do, but I'll just ask you later when we get to our rooms."

I nod my head. Knowing what they're going to be about.

We see Jennie and Jisoo unnie come through the sliding doors. Chaeyoung stands up so they know where we are too.

"Come on Lis." I stood up, but as soon as I did a huge pain in my head started to grow. "Hi." Chaeyoung greeted Jennie and Jisoo unnie. I didn't say anything. I was having a bad migraine. They greeted back and said "Hi." to me as well. I just nodded my head.

We started to walk to the counter so we could get our keycards for our hotel rooms. I see black spots everywhere. Tiny ones, and big ones. The room started to spin a little. I massaged my forehead, but it didn't help the pain. I tried to rub my eyes to see if the black spots would go away but that just made it worse. "Chaeyoung? I need to go to the bathroom." I called out. "Ok." I heard her reply. I sprinted to the closest comfort room and locked the stall. I bended over the toilet and emptied my stomach. Using one of my hands to hold the metal railing for support and the other hand to hold my hair back. Sweat was dripping off my forehead. I wiped my mouth with my sleeves and leaned against the stall door. I took multiple deep breaths. My vision was blurry. Flushing the toilet, I unlocked the stall and staggered to the faucet. I washed my hands and face. Rinsed my mouth out with the water. "Lisa?" I hear Jennie call me from the hallway that connects the bathroom to the hotel lobby. "Yeah?" I croaked. It's weird to be in the girl's bathroom. I would go into the unisex bathroom but I didn't have time to find it because I would probably end up throwing up on the floor. I looked in the mirror, I'm covered in sweat. The back of my long sleeve was drenched in my liquid. I took shaky steps into the hallway Jennie was in. "Oh my gosh. Lisa you're so pale." She took her handkerchief out of her purse and came to over to me. I wrapped my arms around her waist for support. "Hold me real quick, will ya?" I lay my head down on her shoulder. My face buried in the crook of her neck. It was a little hard because of the height difference. But if I were to stand any longer without something to lean on. I might collapse. "You smell good." I mumbled. She wiped the sweat off my forehead. "Lisa." She whispers, sounding concerned.

After a few minutes of leaning on Jennie. The dizziness subsided. The black spots went away. But now my stomach is hurting. I pulled away and tried to fix my composure. Even though the dizziness went away, I am still a little lightheaded. "Ready to go?" Jennie asked me. "Yeah." We started our journey from the women's bathroom to our hotel rooms. "Here's your keycard. Chaeyoung gave it to me and asked me to wait for you." I took the card from her, electricity shot through me as I accidentally brushed her hand. "What floor are we on?" I asked. "You and I are on the 13th floor, rooms 1304 and 1305. While Jisoo unnie and Chaeyoung are on the 10th, rooms 1010 and 1011." She answered. "Oh ok." We continued to the elevator. I pushed the button for the 13th floor.

"Tell her how you feel." "Not happening."

"So when are you going to tell her? When you're dead? How much of an idiot are you?" "You want me to confess in an elevator. How romantic." I replied to my brain sarcastically.

The elevator was playing Test Drive by Joji. This isn't even elevator music material. It's better than elevator music. Well to be honest, elevator music is pretty good. I don't know why people say it's bad.

"She just wanna feel alive
She just wanted more time
I'm looking for a long ride
She just want a test drive
Dying on the west side"

Ding. The elevator abruptly stopped. It's doors opened, revealing the majestic hallway. The walls made of carved marble. The ceiling painted with art. The floor was also made up of marble tiles, each tile looked as if it was a piece of a water color painting. Rooms 1304 and 1305 were at the middle part of the hall. Her room was across from mine. "Where are we eating dinner?" I asked. "I don't know, but our group manager said to wait for her in the lobby at 8:30 PM." An awkward tension was in the air. "Ok." I replied. Then we went into our designated rooms.
