A life to live

Chapter 8

Lisa's POV

I'm currently in the hospital the day after I came across that lost soul. I couldn't vanish him so I gave Bam the job while I'm here walking away. I did what I told him, I took him to see his kid again. His reaction was so heartbreaking anyone would feel so bad.

as I was walking my eyebrows knitted when I saw someone sitting on the bench. she was crying so much, her sobs were heard from where I was standing. I clenched my fist, trying my best to make my self walk away.

she shot her head up and wiped her tears until her eyes landed on mine. her face changed when she saw me, it was like she was shocked to see me seeing her cry for the first time. I usually see her jolly and annoying side all the time but this, this is different.

my feet were stuck to the ground, I didn't know what to do but I feel a pang in my chest for whatever reason. As soon as she broke our eye contact she ran away.

I hate this, I wish I never met her...I hate that she's starting to affect me.

days passed it was just a normal day at school I guess...

"hey, it's weird...Jennie isn't showing up today to annoy your ass" Bam suddenly appears beside me. I rolled my eyes at him, I don't care...

"does it look like I care?" I asked him.

"I know you don't, you never showed affection to anyone. I just mentioned that because I never had the chance to talk to her you know? I always see her with you on the weirdest times, like at the hospital, dude I was there! how in the world were you two at the same place in the same time?" he said and scratched his head.

I didn't mind him and just looked at where I was walking. as soon as we reached the intersection at the hallway we came across those two ladies who's always with Jennie. they gave me a bad look, what the hell did I do?

we stopped on our tracks because they were standing infront of us.

"oh hey, ladies!" Bam greeted but they just raised a brow at him. Bam shut up and felt embarassed.

"I hope you're happy with what you did the other day, Lisa...our friend hasn't been attending her classes for days now." she says then walks pass me

the other girl used her index and middle finger to point at her eyes then to me as she walks passed us.

"woah bro, Jennie's friends are sassy" Bam chuckled nervously. I didn't mind him and just noted the fact that Jennie hasn't been attending her classes.

"Lisa? hey dude you okay?" I snapped out when Bam snapped his fingers.

"uh yeah, let's go." I said and started to walk.

Jennie's POV

I flickered my eyes as I got up from my nap. It was a nice nap, better than any naps I had these passed few days.

"Jen! your phone's been ringing for quite some time now. pick it up!" I heard mom saying outside my room so I got out of my bed and checked my face on the mirror then got out.

I checked my phone and to my surprise it was Ryujin.

"hello?"

[hey, Unnieeeee!!!"] she says and I smiled at her, I miss her a lot since I left  Seoul to go back to Busan.

"hi! why did you call?"

[I just missed you! I also wanted to ask when you'll come back, Rosé and Jisoo unnie have been asking me for days]

"I'll be back later! I was just needed here for our family business" I lied, I don't usually lie because I hate the thought of it but I'll make this an exception. Nobody needs to know...they can't know.

[oh okay, that's good to hear! oh I have another news, there's this creepy lady who keeps on coming here. I keep on telling her that you don't like to see anyone at the moment.]

I suddenly paused, there's only one creepy person I know but I immediately  shrugged the thought away. It can't possibly be Lisa, why would she be there? as far as I know she doesn't even care about me, we're not even friends.

[her name is...uhh I forgot hays but it's..wait, let me think. L....Li..]

"Lisa..." I blurted out.

[yeah! that's the name. She always brings a pint of ice cream whenever she comes here. We got ice cream for dayssss] Ryujin chuckles.

I involuntarily smiled, she brings ice cream? then she acknowledged the fact that I love ice cream. I really wonder why she's doing this.

the call ended after a few more minutes of talking with Ryujin. I looked at my self and I'm noticing that I'm getting thinner each day, this isn't good.

After a few hours, I just came back from our stables to check on my horses. I'm ready to go back to Seoul now, I really miss my friends and I need to be there for them.

"honey, are you sure that you'll be back today? you know that your dad always wants you to stay here." my mom says. I smiled at her and shook my head.

"my dream has to go on, mom...I miss school, I need to go back" I told her and held her hands.

she sighed.

"if your dad was here right now, he wouldn't let you go back to Seoul again. I guess, I don't have any choice but to let you...just take care okay?" she says worriedly and I just nodded.

"our driver is waiting outside, he'll drive you back to your apartment. If you want-"

"mom, I don't need our driver to stay in Seoul. I could travel on my own." I told her and she sighed in defeat. She always kept on insisting to take my driver with me in Seoul so someone could drive me but I would always reject their offer.

"okay okay....I really just want you to live comfortably there."

"I'll be okay mom, I'll be back soon to visit you guys" I said and gave my mom a kiss on the cheek then went to the family car.

I waved my mom good bye as we drove off. I'll miss the fresh air here, especially my horses.

as we got further I just stared off the window. It's almost sunset, what a beautiful sight...

I took my airpods and placed them on my ears as I scrolled through my playlist.

deathbed...

don't stay awake for too long
don't go to bed
I'll make a cup of coffee for your head
I'll get you up and going out of bed

I chuckled softly, I hated this song...but now it makes me chuckle because of you. I actually don't know why I keep on squeezing myself in, maybe because I know that you wouldn't be attached, maybe because I want you to be with me when I spend my last days without me hurting to say good bye.

Yeah
I don't wanna fall asleep
I don't wanna pass away
I been thinking of our future 'cause I'll never see those days....
