Chapter 11: Too Late?

Two days later

Lisa locked herself in her room in her brother's villa. She told her manager that she was homesick and not feeling well at the same time. The event occurred two days ago flashed in her mind. Senses did knock into her. She regretted what she said to Jungkook that day. Her ego was as high as a Himalayan mountain. Her family didn't help her either. All of them were giving her cold shoulders. Karma came to knock her out. Disappointment decorated their faces.

She also avoiding her members as well because they will ask about her whereabouts. Her phone was somewhere in the room that she doesn't bother to acknowledge the location. She enjoyed sitting on a couch at the veranda looking at the sea in front of her while wrapping her hands around her knees. She didn't even take a shower or brush her hair or change her clothes. They were a mess. She was a mess.

She was too immersed in her thought that she didn't realize the knock on her door until a silhouette of her brother came to her view. He was looking at her with concern in his eyes. She knew she looked pathetic. She turned to her brother. Her eyes held no emotions.

"It's been two days. Don't you want to come out?" He squatted next to her and patted her head. Trying to soothe her messing locks.

"Aren't you all mad at me?" She let out a low voice.

"Of course, we are mad, Lisa, because we don't raise you to be rude. It was a shock for us. But whatever happened, you are our family."

Lisa felt her eyes stung. She wrapped her hands around her brother and sobbed on his shoulder.

James sighed. He doesn't know how to respond to her. She messed up badly. He held Lisa and brought her into her room and sat on the bed.

"Lisa. I want to ask you something."

Lisa who was looking at the floor facing looked at her brother. She was confused and nodded.

He grabbed her hands from her lap and rubbed them slowly.

"What do you feel when you are with him?" Her eyes widen. Not expecting the question. She stayed silent. James took the change to continue.

"You're not answering. Okay, let me change the question to an easier one. Feeling giddy whenever he was around? Always looking forward to his message? Smiling like a madman when he sent gifts to you or praised you? His voice soothes you?"

Lisa shocked at the questions. All of those were true. How did he know? Did Jungkook tell him?

James chuckled at her reaction. She felt vulnerable and shy.

"No. He didn't tell me anything."

Shocked. Again!

"But, how do I know all of these?" He glanced at Lisa.

Lisa still not responding.

"This is what we call love, Lisa or the feeling when someone is in love. These are what I feel for Jade." He gave her a small smile. Lisa groaned.

"Why are you telling me this?" She hopped on her bed and wrapped herself in the blanket.

"Because love doesn't come easily. Some people get them early, some get them later in life. And when it comes you should embrace it. Because it could be the last time it comes to you."

Hearing that, Lisa abruptly sat on her bed. She felt scared. Scared if she gonna be single for her entire life.

"I don't know I love him or not." She whispered.

"Just close your eyes and listen to your heart, Lisa." James held her right hand and placed it her left chest. Lisa closed her eyes and their moments played in her mind. The days when he sang to her, gave her different flowers and he confessed to her.

She opened her eyes and tears were visible. She sobbed.

'I love him.'

"Oppa, what should I do?" Her wailing was getting worse and James mentally facepalmed himself. He didn't mean to make her cry.

He held her shoulder and gripped it. His eyes held determination and encouragement.

"Go get him, Lisa." He encouraged her. Lisa nodded and the fire in her eyes ignited. She's gonna win her man back!

With that, Lisa grabbed her purse and dashed out from her bed and literally flew down the stairs.

"Lisa, wait. Change your clothes.... first." Too late. She's gone. She just entered the cab she hailed a while ago.

Lisa hailed a cab once she exited the main gate of the villa. He told the taxi driver to bring her to Bangtan's dorm. She was crying again, and the taxi driver was nice to offer her a box of tissues. Reaching the location, she got out of the taxi and rang the bell of their dorm. She waited anticipatedly and thinking on how to coax him to love her back. The door opened and stood there was their group leader, Kim Namjoon.

"Sunbae, is Jungkook-ssi here?" She got no time for greetings now. She needs to get her man back. Fast.

The elder was shocked at her sudden appearance at their dorm. He looked at her up and down. She was in a pink pyjama and shorts with messy hair and red eyes.

"Lisa-ssi. He's not here right now. He's in our company for a...." Before he was able to finish his sentences, Lisa left the man hanging.

She once again looking for a cab and when she got one, she directed him to the Big Hit company. She urged the driver to go faster. The driver again looked at her weirdly. However, none of them managed to recognize her as an idol.

As soon as she arrived at the building, she entered the main lobby. The receptionist looked at her sceptically. She went to her desk and asked for Jungkook. She was hesitant and Lisa shoved the receptionist her ID. The woman was shocked at Lisa's appearance but still, lead her to a conference room.

Lisa tried to wipe her teary eyes and rubbed her hands to ease her nervousness. This is it. she was standing in front of the conference room door and heaved out some air. Slowly, she grabbed the handle and opened the door. However, the scene before her, broke her heart into a million pieces as if she was hit by a bulldozer.

Somi and Jungkook were standing side by side with his hand on her shoulder and smiles on their faces. They were so happy. Then they both made half hand love each and formed into one. The reporters in the room encouraged them for more gestures which were obliged from both idols.

Lisa put her hand on her mouth. She shed another set of tears and walked backwards slowly. As she turned around, she collided with filming probs and made a loud noise. Attention diverted to her including Jungkook and Somi. They made eye contact. Jungkook was trying to approach her but Somi's hand stopped him.

She saw that and she mad at it. The reporters went wild when they realise who she was. They were taking her pictures but she cares nonetheless. Her gaze was at the stage.

Suddenly, she felt someone dragged her out of the room. She just followed without breaking the eye contact.

'I was too late.' She closed her eyes.

In the main lobby, the receptionist called Lisa's manager to fetch her, but before she finished her call, Lisa left the building. She took a cab and went to her brother's villa.

Her family waited for her at the door. They all hugged her, giving her courage and loves she deserved.

"Mom, dad I want to leave here. Take me to Paris, please." She said in low voice.

"Okay, dear. We will leave soon. Don't worry love. We are here for you." Her mother kissed her. Lisa tightened her arms.
