it started with a lie [chaelisa]

act nineteen

Tzuyu was about to rip off Sana's shirt when the doorbell went off. "Fucking piece of shit..." she cursed under her breath. With MUCH aggravation, she made her way over to the VERY, VERY, VERY unwelcomed visitor.

"What do you want." She said the second the door opened, only to come face to face with a sulking Lisa. "Sorry... I'll go..."

Tzuyu instantly grasped onto her friend's hand. With a sigh, she whispered a silent "No, stay."

——————————

"Damn, Lisa. You're a god." Sana commented, awestruck. Lisa scoffed at Tzuyu's girlfriend naive statement. "Well, then gods might as well be pieces of dirt that are constantly trampled on."

Even with Sana's... engagement in this conversation, something- or rather someone, didn't manage to slip past Lisa's train of thought: Tzuyu. The younger girl's eyes seemed to be fixated on the teddy bear bracelet that hung loosely around Lisa's wrist.

(It was a present from her girlfriend, given to Lisa the day at the hospital. It's one of Jennie's most prized possessions; Lisa had never seen her without it. According to Jisoo, it was Jennie's last gift from her mother... before she-)

Lisa had never seen Tzuyu so wordless in her life. If Chaeyoung was quiet, then Tzuyu is straight-up mute. Something was wrong; the words silent and Tzuyu simply just don't go together.

A/N: We know Tzuyu is a really quiet person that doesn't talk much in real life, but in this story she's quite talkative so let's pretend :)

The Taiwanese girl opened her mouth for a second, however, no speech was produced. She seemed hesitant like she wanted to say something, and that something suggested being of significance.

Tzuyu's conflicted thoughts were put to a halt when her eyes, once again, full-body scanned the bracelet.

Her mouth shut completely.

Inexorably, Sana picked up on her girlfriend's behavior. "Baby... you good?" The pale girl asked with pursed lips. Tzuyu seemed to have finally snapped out of the trance on Lisa's bracelet.

She cleared her throat, nervous-looking eyes.

"Lisa... who gave you that?" Tzuyu mumbled, barely audible. So quiet that Lisa almost misses it- keyword: almost. Lisa was more than clear as to what Tzuyu was referring to but pretended to be unknowing.

"Your bracelet, I mean." Tzuyu quickly added.

Lisa smiled politely, about to reply when-

"She probs bought it at some expensive jeweler, I mean like look at the gems! I told you her new job pays well! Baby, you should apply!!!" Sana said a bit too excitedly.

Tzuyu opened her mouth to speak-

"I know you said that you want to live with me but... WAIT. I'll apply too. Pleaseeee~" Sana batted her eyelashes at her girlfriend.

Lisa nodded in agreement. "I do get paid nicely, and plus, my boss is my girlfriend so how can I even begin to complain." She said with a satisfied grin. Sana's jaw dropped to the floor.

"WAIT. You've got to be shitting me right now. YOUR girlfriend is... KIM JENNIE!!? Daughter of-"

"Yep. That's her." Lisa said it like it was the most normal thing in the world, almost sending Sana into another frenzy.

The squirrel looking girl quickly turned to her girlfriend. "Baby pleaseeeee. It's our dream job!!!" Sana exclaimed. Tzuyu muttered some incoherent words, unable to make eye contact with her overly ecstatic girlfriend.
