Her Bestfriend ✔️

15 | Finale |

Lisa | Finale |

Was this the end?

It didn't feel like the end.

It felt like the beginning of something new and breathtakingly beautiful.

It was like everything was almost completed.

It was as if life was finally coming together and becoming whole again.

Before, life use to seem to be growing wider and unsolved.

Until now.

"What're you doing here?"

"Am I not allowed to visit my role model?" I asked with a teasing grin. I entered her office and plopped myself down on her leather chair just across from her. Moonbyul chuckled and removed her glasses,

"Didn't know you'd be staying here in Korea for this long," she pointed out. I could only smile,

"I was thinking of staying a bit longer to grow the restaurant business here. Maybe even move back just to keep it intact."

"Then, I take it you and Jennie are doing well?" She asked. Seeing the corner of her lip tugged upwards into a knowing smirk, my cheeks instantly heated up in embarrassment. "I'll also take the blush on your cheeks as a yes." I playfully rolled my eyes with a grin,

"Shut up."

She laughed and leaned against the chair, "I'm still waiting for that thank you," she said. I furrowed my eyebrows with a confused grin,

"Did you want me to thank you for constructing the core of my character? Because if so, thank you" I teased, knowing damn well she was the main reason I stayed so sane back in high school. Moonbyul chuckled with a shake of a head and grinned at me,

"You've thanked me enough on that part," she said with a warm smile that I couldn't help but mirror. She had always been there through every breaking point of my high school life and I thanked her every day. Not only was she like an older sister to me, she became someone I wanted to be.

"Back then, you were so persistent on persuading me to talk to Jennie and I never understood why," I said, leaning back and crossing my arms with an incredulous look. "You knew about Jennie this whole time didn't you?" I asked. Without missing a beat, she replied with a small smile,

"I did."

I let out a shaky breath, "Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Would it have changed anything?" She asked making me grow silent which she took as a permission to continue, "Think about it Lisa, if you would have known, you would have still left with your parents to Thailand. And if you would have talked to Jennie, her parents would have taken her away if they knew about you two."

I looked down and clasped my hands together, letting out a defeated sigh. She was right. At the end of the day, whatever we did, it would still lead to the same unfortunate outcome. I heard her sigh and stand up. I lifted my head up and watched her walk around the desk and stand in front of me with a small smile,

"It was all about timing Lisa. Things happen for a reason and it's up to you to figure out what it all means." She said. And I knew she was right, my fears  use to tell me otherwise. But I'm older now, and I don't want to make the same mistakes again. She then pursed her lips and tilted her head,

"Can I ask you something?"

I stared at her for a moment before nodding my head.

"Yes."

"Do you regret anything?"

Did I?

Did I regret every decisions I made so far?
