Lalisa sighed, lost in her own thoughts.
     'I swear I've never seen you think this much, Lisa.' a voice chuckled from behind.
Startled, she turned around and glared at Jisoo who was leaning on the doorframe to her room, smiling kindly at her.
     'Neither have I, honestly. It's all my fault... If I hadn't agreed to leave the... the facility thing, then Chaeyoung and Jennie would've been alive!' Lalisa said. Jisoo frowned and shook her head, sighing and walking up to the younger girl, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.
     'No, Lalisa. It isn't your fault, you didn't come up with the idea to leave. We would've been killed if we stayed in there.' she spoke softly to her, trying to convince her. Lalisa looked at her blankly before looking back at her crossed legs, fumbling with the blanket underneath her. Jisoo rolled her eyes internally and sat next to her, her hand still resting on her shoulder.
     'You need to stop blaming yourself - Lalisa Manoban you listen to me right now!' Jisoo snapped, clicking her fingers in front of Lisa's startled face and frowning disapprovingly at her.
     'Now, you listen to me, young lady. It is not your fault. It's none of ours, we didn't know it'd end up like this.' she continued, praising herself mentally as she actually achieved getting Lisa to listen to her for once. Lalisa frowned, pursing her lips and looking back up at her,
     'What - what if Jennie did know? What if she just set it up? For us to die?' the young girl questioned. Jisoo's eyes went wide in shock as she rapidly shook her head,
     'No. Do not think that way, ever. Jennie took her own life in order to save ours and you are not just going to slander it in lies and accusations, Lisa!' Jisoo shouted, balling her fists up and standing up from the bed, glaring down at Lisa who seemed quite terrified, yet unfazed.
     'Think about it, why would she just randomly decide to help us, us three and not the other four?! Think about what probably happened to them now, we abandoned them, left them alone in that hell-hole!' Lalisa screamed back, her face going red with anger, standing up and towering over the older girl.

     'Jennie did this because she wanted to, don't you think for a moment that maybe she helped us because us three were the most targeted? It would be too suspicious to bring all seven, and the other four were deadly weak at that moment!' Jisoo shot back. The two girls glared at each other for a while before Lalisa spoke up,
     'Tell me how that idiot of a man, Junglebook - no - JUNGKOOK - always found us!? TELL ME!' she screeched. If looks could literally kill, Jisoo would be drop dead on the floor at the moment. Jisoo grit her teeth and clenched her jaw, her fists threatening to punch Lalisa in the face; She opened her mouth to speak, when she realised she had nothing to say. Faltering, Jisoo gave Lisa one last look before stomping out of the room. Lalisa sat down slowly on her bed and let a tear drop down her face, more and more came and soon she was full-on sobbing.

***

Jisoo sighed miserably, closing her eyes and rubbing her temples because of her pounding headache. Honestly, how could she even think that?! That Jennie was secretly trying to get us all killed, that's absolute garbage. Jisoo thought to herself, thinking over the minuscule possibility that what Lalisa said, might be true. How did Jungkook find them wherever they went with her? She remembered when those words slipped from Lalisa's mouth, making the other speechless. Jisoo looked down at her feet and walked towards one of the loose floorboards, curiously lifting it up. Coughing, she wafted the dust out of her face with her hand, the other holding the thin piece of wood up. Inside of that small place was nothing special, she assumed, only a black, bumpy and noticeably used book. She grabbed the dusty book with her free hand, cringing when more dust came into her nose. Jisoo huffed loudly and set the floorboard down, looking at the book in her hands, inspecting it - only the front and back cover - and furrowing her eyebrows. Jisoo opened the book, looking at the first page, her eyes widening.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗿𝘆-

It read, neat writing sprawled under it.

𝓚𝓲𝓶 𝓙𝓪𝓷𝓮

Jisoo read the neatly written name, confused. Kim Jane? Never heard of her, she thought. Frowning, she skimmed her fingers lightly over the name and shook her head. She supposed this could relate to something Lalisa said, like one of Jennie's distant relatives or something - but there were loads of people with the last name Kim, like her, Jennie, that Taehyung man, Namjoon, Seokjin, and more that she couldn't be bothered to remember. 

𝓘𝓯 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓯𝓲𝓷𝓭 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓭𝓲𝓪𝓻𝔂, 𝓵𝓸𝓸𝓴 𝓪𝔀𝓪𝔂.

Jisoo snorted, rolling her eyes, turning to the next page.

𝓗𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓸, 𝓭𝓲𝓪𝓻𝔂, 𝓶𝔂 𝓷𝓪𝓶𝓮 𝓲𝓼 𝓙𝓪𝓷𝓮, 𝓚𝓲𝓶 𝓙𝓪𝓷𝓮.

Jisoo sucked in a breath, her eyes desperately scanning the page as if it was her life support.
