CHAPTER 85

Jennie's P.O.V.

"The place was nice!" Lisa exclaims, "The cameras and the all the shooting was of good quality too..." Chaeyoung adds, her bubbly cheeks making her look so pouty but cute.

"I wonder how it would all turn out." Lisa adds again, puckering her lips in joy. "We've been filming lots of commercials and things like this, of course it would turn good." I confidently said, smirking.

"Of course you think it would turn good because you always look pretty and you're photogenic." Jisoo snickered, joking about being jealous at me. "Yah, we're all pretty and photogenic. Stop saying that, I'm flattered."

"But then I wonder how we make products get sold so easily. Like only today we eat this and tomorrow it's all sold out."

Just then, my phone rang loudly, and I hastily answered the call. It's mother..

"H-hello?" I heard her say on the other line, making me furrow my brows in confusion. Why is there muffled crying mixed in her words?

"J-Jennie, my sweet-tie... Come visit your aunt's house, I-I need to tell you sonething..." She stutters as she cries, and I could feel her anxiety shaking me. "O-okay I will..." And the line cut, the call ended.

What just happened?

"I need to go somewhere for a while. I'll be back soon, we don't have any more schedules anyways..."

Why did she cry?

.........

I couldn't be bothered enough. I went straight to aunt's house as soon as mother called. I haven't really accpeted her yet, but the fact that she was crying made my heart clench.

And I wonder why...

"Auntie..." I saw aunt, standing by my mother who was sitting on the couch, and both their eyes were puffy and red from crying.

My cousins on the corner widened their eyes as they saw me, sharing glances to eachother.

What is wrong?

"Hello sweetie. Sit down..." My mother told me to sit by her, still wiping the tears that streamed down to her cheeks.

"I'm sorry bu-but... there's something I need to tell you." What is it?

She puts her hand over mine, sharing glances with my aunt as my aunt wals away, anxious.

"You know how much I love you right? When you were a child, I left you with your auntie, because I know she could treat you better." I sat there listening to her words, dumbfoubded why is she mentioning these things.

"I went abroad because there was another man I loved so much, he tricked me too just like your father..."

"I realized I should go back to you and take care of you, but I didn't have enough money to make you live a great life." I don't understand why is she saying all these things, what's the real matter?

"So I worked hard. And worked hard. When I had enough money, I was about to go back to korea for you but then, I had cancer." I heard her words right and I was shocked of it.

She had cancer?

"I tried my best to treat it, and to heal so I would be healthy when I'll be with you. And it took years and years until I healed completely."

The reason she took so long to come for me in here was all because she suffered to much...

"It's alright mom, I've forgiven you now. You were suffering a lot and that's why you couldn't come back for me... It's alright now, I'm ready to accept you." I put a smile on my face, ready to pull her for an embrace.

"But.." She hesitates, tears falling down from her eyes as her eyes kept glued to the floor. "I was diagnosed with cancer again."

"And I only have three months left to live." I widened my eyes at her words, salty cheeks reaching down my cheeks as my heart felt in despair.

"It's... It must be a misdiagnose... It can't be right?" I couldn't believe it, why must all these things happen to me?

What did I do to deserve such cruel fate?

"I know it's unbelievable. I thought I was finally cured but the sickness came back and it got worse."

If I know all this right ahead, I would've accepted her as soon as I met her...

She had enough of sorrows..

"Why? Why didn't you tell me right away? We could've spent those days together and-and... Could've find more ways for you to live longer..."

There should be some other ways, she can't die in three months...

"It's my fate, Jennie.."

Mom, I love you, don't leave me please...

........

"Where have you been, Jennie? Ypur manager is so mad now... I've been calling you hundred times." Jisoo mouthed, worried I might get scolded.

But I don't care anymore. I'm still trying to process everything that is happening to me now.

"Jennie, you need to go to the head office now. Boss is waiting for you." I heard my manager say, which made me perk up.

I left the room, slowly walking up the stairs to the office. I wasn't able to tell the girls at all, especially that I'll only be a burden to me.

I've reached the door, and so I slowly knocked and as soon as I heard the permission, I walked in.

I sat there, by the table, waiting for his words. He started with a deep sigh, a faint smile written on his lips.

I try my best to fake a smile, so no one would notice my puffy eyes. "Jennie, there is some important news I need to tell you."

"You're having a photoshoot with Gucci and it's collaboration between you and Taehyung." I perked up to face him as I heard his words.

"The shooting needs to be done immediately and in advance so shooting will be starting tomorrow."

Can't I be free for a while? How will I visit mom now...

Wait, I'm having a collab with Taehyung?!
