Jennie's POV

"Baby pass me the remote control will ya?" Taehyung asked stretching his arm as i grabbed it from the coffee table and gave it to him before snuggling back in his arms. We were watching movies in my apartment and i had suggested to cuddle since it was a Sunday and i didn't want to go out or do anything else. Sometimes he would sleepover so that we could go to work together the next day and today was one of them after i had persuaded him with my aegyo.

It's been a week since i was discharged from the hospital. I found out from the nurse at the counter that my hospital bills had been taken care of by someone else when i tried to pay. Jisoo was still not showing any signs of waking up but the heartbeat on the heart monitor was pulsing steadily. Our company returned to Seoul and Mr Yang had made arrangements to transfer Jisoo to a private hospital here so that it was more convenient for us to visit. I also found out that Lisa had left the country, everyone in the office was talking about how she resigned from the job and disappeared without a trace. No one knew where she went not even her parents.

When i heard the news i was quite taken aback. I felt a missing piece in my heart that i can't put into words or seem to describe. Perhaps it was guilt. I knew that i was too harsh that day, i was just too upset over Jisoo. It wasn't entirely her fault that the accident happened. And if i was the reason she chose to leave her job, family and friends in this country, then i would feel way worse.

On the contrary, my headaches were gone and i no longer experienced sudden lapses or voices in my head that make my head hurt. Although i do still have a couple of dreams of someone. The person's face was never clear in my dreams but i was sure that it was the same person each time.

"Hey you feeling alright? You've been quiet today." Taehyung asked as he took his eyes off the screen to look at me.

I tried to give him the most reassuring gummy smile and said, "I'm fine.. just tired from work, there have been a lot of reports to write up this week." Which was partially true, our company had scored a deal with a rather influential business lately and thus Mr Yang had become more demanding and increased the workload. It was fine by me anyway since he was paying us pretty decently for it. But it was more of the fact that Lisa and the mysterious person in my dreams had took up a lot more space in my thoughts recently than i would like to admit. I just constantly felt like i was missing an important detail in my life but no matter how hard i tried to think, i couldn't process out a single thought.

"We should sleep early tonight. Tomorrow we have work. I know it can get stressful but don't forget im always here by your side okay?" Taehyung comforted me and patted my head like a child. I whined and smacked his hand playfully. I'm glad that i have him by my side when im going through all these, although sometimes i questioned our relationship when he spends more time elsewhere and not with me. Almost like he has a second girlfriend to attend to but i trust him enough to not think of that.

"Come on lets get ready for bed." I said.

Rosé's POV

I watched the drip things hanging on the metal rack.

The sound of the heart monitor scares and calms me at the same time. There were days where the pulsing was steady and strong and it gave me hope that today would be the day she wakes up, but other days it would be weak and i would clutch her hands tightly while praying to God that she would be fine.

"Jisoo unnie." I called out even though she couldn't respond. I come to visit her everyday after work and talk to her about my day.

"Did you know? Today i passed by the pet shop on the way here and i saw a goldfish that looks just like my Joohwangie! I stopped at the window to admire it and i was thinking if i should buy it. Joohwang must be very lonely when i am not home, i wanted to get him a friend to swim around and play with. And guess what unnie? The pet shop owner came out of the store and asked if i would like to have it for free! She said that i had been standing outside her shop for ten whole minutes just staring at it and she even thought i was trying to kidnap it hahaha! Or fishnap? Ahh.. well anyway... so an update, our Joohwangie has a friend now! I named it Hope. Because im hoping that after you hear this story, you will wake up and see them with your own eyes." I said smiling.

I brushed her soft jet black hair, she looked like a goddess even when sleeping, i never understood how anyone could look so effortlessly beautiful. Then i suddenly remembered what i brought today and got up excitedly.

"Look unnie... aha! Isn't this your favourite crispy chicken?" I exclaimed as i showed her the paper bag that i was hiding behind my back. In normal circumstances Jisoo would have widened her eyes immediately and beg for me to share or even wake up from her nap to the smell of this greasy food, but i guess she's too deep asleep now.

"Well... since you won't be able to share this with me, i guess i'll have to finish it all by my own." I teased and laughed slightly, if Jisoo could hear me right now she must be out of her mind listening to me taunt her but not being able to move her limbs and snatch the bag from me.

"Hmm it sure does smell amazing..." I said and glanced at her who was still laying still on the bed.

I sighed as i took out a crispy fried chicken wing. I love food and this was one of the best chicken in Seoul. I bought it from a street stall owned by an old ahjussi. But it would have been better if i was enjoying this with Jisoo or even Lisa.

"Wise men say... only fools rush in....." I started to mumble. Sometimes i would serenade Jisoo while she was sleeping because that was what Lisa suggested before she left. She always exaggerated whenever i sang saying that i shouldn't be stuck with a normal 9-5 job and should become an idol instead. I remember her going like "Waa chaeyoung-ah! Your voice is like heaven jinjja why don't you sign up for a singing competition? Just listening to it has cleared my skin and added ten years to my lifespan". She's so silly, i miss her. That idiot didn't even bother telling me where she was going, all she did was send me a voicemail saying that she needed time to unwind and promising that she'll be back especially for me. I know that the reason for her sudden departure was because of the guilt she felt for Jennie and Jisoo, although i feel that she really shouldn't blame herself for everything.

Where are you now Lisayah? How could you be so cruel and leave me here alone and Jisoo unnie. And what about Jennie? Are you just going to leave her to be with that cheating Taehyung?

"....but i.... can't... help... falling in love.... with you..."

I sang and a tear dropped down my cheek. I hope Jisoo unnie would wake up soon and Lisa will be back to annoy me. I hope that the truth will unfold one day and Jennie finds out about Taehyung. I hope everything would be alright in the end.
