Lisa
The sun is almost up and I am still here on the seashore, drowning my system with this tasty whiskey. But its bitter taste isn't enough to forget this bitter feeling I have felt ever since Jennie accepted Jisoo's proposal.
I can feel my stomach churn and my chest constrict. I have a deep sigh as I look up to the dark sky.
"That should be me," I whisper, letting my tears drop all over again. But I sniff and compose myself when my phone beeps.
Where are you? Chaeyoung texts, and I turn my phone off. I chug the last whiskey and throw it away in the ocean.
But then I hear faint footsteps behind me as I look over my shoulder.
"Lisa?" Jennie never fails to skip my heart a beat whenever she calls my name. But this time, seeing that beautiful ring on her ring finger only breaks my heart even more.
Wiping my tears, I stand from the sand and face her concerned yet baffled look.
"Jennie." I smile, yet I close my eyes, feeling dizzy as I wince in pain. But Jennie, as she is, she helps me balance myself and grips on my arms.
"Lisa? You reek of alcohol." I snort and yank her hands away.
"Guess what? I drank this heartache away." She didn't respond and just stared ludicrously at me. " You. Why are you here?"
She averts her gaze from me, avoiding my drunk gaze. But I could tell she couldn't sleep with those dark things under her eyes.
"Insomnia." I nod. And there, silence fills between us. I don't know what to say to her after those agonizing events.
But I sigh and run my palm on my mouth as I face the beach, hugging myself.
"It should be you, Jennie." I sniffle. "It should be you that I've been engaged with since I bought a ring for you years ago."
I can't help but murmur. The sight of Jisoo proposing to her is still haunting me. And her... She can even barely look me in the eye and just accept that after what we did behind Jisoo's back.
"What?" she utters. But I only shut my eyes, carrying all this bitterness for years. But a mere memory flows in my mind like a cinema on replay.
"You did that on purpose, right?" I asked Chaeyoung right after she followed me from her birthday venue. She grabbed my wrist and hugged me tightly as if she didn't want to let me go.
"I just want to be alone with you, Lisa."
"Chaeng." I rub my face in frustration. "Just what the hell do you want!?"
"I want you!" I can feel my blood boiling in my veins as I grit my teeth.
"And you know that I'm going to propose to Jennie later! In front of everyone, in front of you!"
Her lips curved down, about to cry as she cupped my cheek. "I know. That's why I... For the last time Lisa I..."
"You what!?"
I'm surprised when she tugs my bag to meet her lips. I pushed her off, but she wrapped her arms around my neck, deepening the kiss.
My blood was raging, yet I responded to her kisses. Not in a passionate way, but in the most aggressive way that I never did with Jennie. I grabbed her waist, squeezing it as my tongue bustled with hers.
Her lips were so familiar to me. Ever since our freshmen year, I always knew Chaeyoung liked me, the same goes for Jisoo with Jennie.
But Jennie and I loved each other, although I knew somebody was waiting for us to love them back. We chose our love instead.
