Jennie's POV

I went to visit Jisoo again today. I was walking towards the ward when i heard someone talking excitedly. As i listened against the door, i realised that it was Chaeyoung accompanying her as usual. She really cares for our Jichu huh.

I stood outside the door for awhile listening to her rant about funny things to my sleeping bestfriend.

".....so you know, there's a really nice bingsu shop down the streets where youngsters like to visit nowadays. And i went there and tried their famous strawberry shaved ice, it was amazing! I promise i will take you there when you wake up, i think you might even like it more than chicken. Anyway.. yesterday i had a sudden craving for it again, so i went to the shop and ordered a bowl for myself. Now i specifically remembered telling the ahjumma that i wanted to add more strawberries on my bingsu, i even paid extra for that. But when she served me.. there was the same amount of strawberries, and just more of the syrup! Jinjja.. this ahjumma is a scammer. But oh well.. it was still a good bowl of strawberry shaved ice. Wake up soon okay? You really need to try it with me."

I opened the door and went it, smiling slightly at the sight of an exasperated Rosé having a one-sided conversation. She reminded me of Lisa sometimes. They were both cheerful and fun people to have by your side.

"Oh.. hey! I didn't see you coming in." Chaeyoung said startled as she saw me moving towards the bed.

"Good late evening to you too. I just came here to check on Jisoo, but i guess she already had great company." I said teasing and she blushed a faint pink.

"Umm.. anway unnie, its nearing the end of year again. I suppose your company has come up with a trip already?" Chaeyoung asked obviously trying to change the topic.

I chuckled and replied, "Yeah. Actually our company had decided to bring us to the same place as last year."

"Oh! Pyeongchang? Yongpyong Ski Resort?" Chaeyoung asked.

"Yup. The company's going there this sunday till the following week." I replied casually.

"That's cool, its a great place. And they hold the spectacular christmas event there every year." She chimed in.

"Yeah.. but i don't think i'd be going.." I said uncertainly. It had been bothering me since Mr Yang announced it last week. I was still indecisive about going on the trip this year with Jisoo in this condition.

"Why not? Is there something troubling you?" Chaeyoung asked concerned.

"No nothing much. I just don't feel at ease leaving Jisoo here in Seoul while going off on the trip and having fun without her. What if something goes wrong within the week? I would be too far away to help and i'd blame myself forever. Doesn't really seem like the right thing to do, besides it wouldn't be a company trip without her and Lis- sa....." I said, surprised at myself because i had mention her unknowingly.

Chaeyoung smiled as she saw my flustered face. "If that's whats troubling you, then don't worry unnie. I can take care of Jisoo. If anything happens you'll be the first person i call. But i doubt there will even be that case. Jisoo is a strong woman, and God wouldn't let her go just yet. I know she will wake up one of these days." She said and i could tell that she was partially trying to reassure herself. She was just like Lisa, always looking on the bright side. Lisa never let her difficulties get the better of her, i never saw her crumbling under the stress of the company. She was a tenacious person with a good heart, and i was the reason why she went away.

I held in my tears and hugged Rosé. "Thank you for being there for Jisoo and Lisa."

***

I packed my luggage for a one week stay in Pyeongchang. After the brief visit at the hospital and the talk with Rosé, i felt better about going on the trip. After taking an eternity to decide what clothes i wanted to bring, i finally squeezed in kuma, my teddy bear travel buddy.

"I should prepare my shoes too so i don't have to rush tomorrow morning." I said to myself. I had a whole collection of shoes, it probably takes me at least half an hour to decide which pair i wanted to wear everytime i go out.

I walked over to the shoe cupboard and stared at the rows of branded kicks. They were all stashed in a messy way, i never had time to arrange them. Then a black boot caught my eye. I took it out and examined closely.

"Oh.. its this weird winter boot. The same one i wore when i went to the ski resort last year, although i don't remember ever owning a pair with this kind of style. Oh well, it is a comfy and warm pair though, guess i'll use this." I said shrugging and bringing it to my doorstep to wear tomorrow. This was probably a record, the fastest ive ever took to decide on a pair of shoes. Pretty impressive Jennie Kim.

I went to shower and settled in for the night, hugging my pillow. Somehow i felt lonely and the same feeling of missing someone again filled my empty chest.

"Hmmhm?"

Who was calling me at this hour? I picked up my phone from my bedside drawer and looked at the caller id.

'Lisa'.

I immediately jerked up in bed and answered the phone in haste.

"Hello?! Lisa is that you?"

"Hey nini, how are you doing?" Lisa's voice reverberated through the phone.

I didn't even bother thinking about why she was using my pet name since we weren't close, i was just so overwhelmed to hear her voice again. I can't believe that is was really her. My heart clenched and unclenched tightly.

"Lisa...." I said choking back on my newly formed tears.

"Hey, hey. Why are you crying? Did you miss me that much?" She asked jokingly.

I couldn't help but chuckle despite the unknown pain in my heart, hearing her talk melted all other thoughts and emotions away.

"I... miss you..." I whispered. Was it normal to be missing a colleague this much? What is wrong with me and why was i tearing uncontrollably?

"And I missed you too. I love you so much Jennie. But you don't remember me." Lisa said sadly.

What? What does she mean? Why did she say she loves me and what about remembering her???

"Wh-what do you mean Lisa?" I asked, my heart pumping furiously.

No reply.

"Lisa? Are you there?" I asked again.

...

"Hello? Lisa! Answer me please!" I cried out, hearing nothing but a dead line on the other end.

My eyelids fluttered opened in an instant. I looked over to see my phone on the bedside drawer lighting up and vibrating. I immediately took it and turned off the alarm.

I had dozed off on my bed last night. It had been a dream.

I sat up on my bed and massaged my head. What is going on with you buddy? You really been messing with me a lot since the last time i went to Pyeongchang. First the blurry images in my head, then the voices, and now dreaming about my colleague too? Oh my god.

Yet the pain had felt so real...

I shook off my thoughts and got up to prepare myself. I had to report to the company in an hour and a half. I'll think about it later.
