Chapter 21 (Broken)

She saw how Lisa pinned Tzuyu on the wall and kissed her.

Jennie walks towards their direction. She pulled Tzuyu's hair so the two separated from the kiss.

She can't restrain herself. She gave Tzuyu a hard slap on her face.

"Jennie".Lisa act astonished

"What's this Lisa huh? " Jennie's voice is cracking

"Tzuyu please go back to our table and leave us alone first, I'll just need to talk to her".Lisa urged

After she wrapped up her words she saw Jennie walking out.

"Jennie, wait!"She runs and grabs Jennie's hands which make the latter stop walking.

"I'm sorry". That's the only word that came out on Lisa's lips. I'm cheating on you, she continued

. "What?".Jennie was shocked.

"I only use you to make Tzuyu jealous, she's the one that I truly love from the start I just used you to.... ".

Jennie slaps her.

"I can't believe that you can do this to me, Lisa. I trusted you. I did everything for the both of us. I love you and you know that". Jennie's voice is cracking because the tears are continuously falling on her cheeks.

Since when huh? You acted so well. I thought everything that you've shown is true. I thought you mean those flowery words that you have said. I'm so dumb to believe you. Let's end this, Lisa".Jennie leaves her.

Lisa feels numb. She can't move to what just happened. She watches Jennie walking away.

"I'm sorry, but this is for the both of us".Lisa cried and presided in her car.

--Irene's POV:

I'm currently driving home. I can't concentrate because Jennie is crying hard at the passenger's seat. She came back to my car crying. I asked her what happened inside the bar but she's not answering and just cried. I drive her home and she said thank you then run inside of their house.

What's going on? I texted Lisa to ask her maybe she knows the answer.After I park my car at our garage I also texted Jennie to message me if she needs someone to talk with.

Jennie's POV:

Irene drives me home. She keeps on asking what happened and if I'm okay but I don't know how to answer. I can't stop crying. I wanted to open up to Irene but I'm not ready yet. It hurts so much. I didn't expect that Lisa will do that. I wish what happened earlier is just a dream and I want to wake up.I'm sitting at the floor in the corner of my bed, gawking into space and feeling a tight grip wrapped around my heart, its squeezing and squeezing and not allowing me to breathe and slowly I start to feel tears fall down, and one after another the fits start to happen and I just can't stop it. It hurts so bad it is indescribable. People say "love hurts", no love kills and it doesn't take just take your breath away. It takes away a piece of you, making you fragmented, shattering you into small different pieces where you can't even get yourself back up on track again. So this is love? I asked myself. Not the holding hands, forehead kisses. It's the feeling you feel when you break down into a million pieces. It's when you can feel your heart shatter against your rib cage. It's murder. That is love and I hate it. You have hurt me so much but my heart still beats for you. Why are you doing this to me? It hurts so much that I have given all of my time into someone who I thought would be by my side forever but ended up leaving. Am I not enough? But why did you choose her over me? Jennie didn't stop crying until she fell asleep.

--Lisa drives home crying. She locks herself in her room. She texted Bambam that something came up that's why she left without saying any words to them. Tzuyu is also trying to call her but she's ignoring it. She can't think well. What happened earlier is part of her plan she didn't expect that it will turn out like that. She did it on purpose. She saw Jennie on her peripheral vision that's why she kissed Tzuyu. She wants Jennie to find out that she's cheating so Jennie will leave her. That's the only way that she thought so Jennie can start to move on and move forward without her. She knows that she can't stay any longer and she doesn't want Jennie to suffer when that time comes. Tomorrow is her surgery and there's no assurance if she will survive or not. In short, she's dying.

This is not her initial plan from the start but everything changes when Jennie's Dad talked to her after their graduation. She can still memorize what the old man told her

"Stay away from my daughter, you're no good for her. I have a lot of plans for Jennie's future and you're such a distraction. If you will not leave her, I'll make her life miserable until she will realize that loving you is a mistake. You choose, you will leave her or I will take her away from you? If you truly love her, leave my daughter alone. I'm warning you, Lisa. Again, stay away from her!

Her disease and what Jennie's dad told her pushed her to do this. When she saw Jennie cried earlier, it triples the pain that she feels. It seems that this will be caused by her early death.

Lisa's POV:

I'm nowhere in my room. Normally, I act like everything is fine. I laugh at my friend's joke, I do silly things with my friends and I act like I have a carefree life. It's funny though. When I come back home, I just turn off that mental switch. Then suddenly I break down, I feel alone, empty tired. I can't exactly describe how I feel into words. It's like I have two different me's. One for the public and one for myself. Only if they know. Only if.Sometimes saying you're okay is much earlier rather than explaining all the reasons why you're not. I seriously cannot wait until all the pieces come together and I finally understand why I went through everything I did.

I love Jennie so much. God knows! But I guess we find the right love at the wrong time...I cried and cried for the whole night. I decided to write a letter to them before I decided to let myself rest. I'm sleeping already but I can still feel my tears continuously flowing and it's unending.

It's 8 am when mom wakes me up. Today is the day. I replied to Jisoo's message, she texted me that she's on a 3days vacation with her family. Her parents tried to catch up with her.

"Enjoy Jisoo Unnie, we will be out of town too and I'm not sure when we will be coming back. I will miss you and will make sure to keep in touch with you. Please take care of your self and look after Jennie. I love you two". She sent the message.

"Let's go? Are you ready"? Lisa's mom asked her.

"Ne". She answered and get inside the car.

Lisa and her parents are now in hospital. The doctor let her rest because the operation will start at 4 PM.

Lisa's dad: I know you can do it, honey. *she caresses Lisa's hair*

Lisa: Thanks, Dad. Mom?

Lisa's mom: Please promise me that you will not tell them. Please promise me that you will do the things that I listed in this paper. *she gave a small paper *

Lisa's mom: Promise honey. Be strong, Arasoo. Mom and dad are just here.

Doc Choi: Excuse me, but we will start now the surgery.

Jennie POV :

It's already afternoon when I wake up. My eyes are so tired, my body is so weak and I feel exhausted. I checked my phone to see if Lisa message me but no message from her. It's Irene's message saying to call her if I need someone. Jisoo also texted me that she's in a 3 days vacation with her family...I haven't eaten my breakfast and lunch yet but I don't feel hungry. My eyes get wet again when I recall what happened yesterday. It's strange, right? How someone just wakes up one day and decides that they are never going to stay in touch with you, that they are never going to look at you the same way they did a day before or something back. And honestly, nothing fucks you up like seeing someone easily detached themselves from you as if you were just shit. I know how that stings. It hurts and fills your soul with anxiety because even the best of you, couldn' keep them. Even the best of you wasn't enough for them and that fucks you up in ways you can't imagine. I can't still believe that this is happening. That everything between me and Lisa is over. She didn't even text me or put an effort so we can talk and fixed everything. Maybe she's telling the truth. She didn't love me in the first place, I'm just passed time and now she's already happy with someone that she truly loves. But it's 10 fucking months? We have wasted 10 fucking months. But even though everything is just a lie that 10 months being with her is the happiest part of my life. I cried again then sleep so I can forget everything.

In the Hospital

It's already 8 PM when Dr. Choi goes out of the operation room. His fellow doctors who assisted him follows.

Lisa's dad: How is she?

Dr. Choi: Surgery is done and it seems that everything is good.

Lisa's mom: You mean the operation was successful?

Dr. Choi: I can't tell yet if it is successful or not unless Lisa will wake up. For now, she's in a coma. We need to check and monitor her from time to time to see if there are improvements. Let's pray that she will wake up the soonest so she can recover. Excuse me call me if you need anything.

Lisa's Dad: Thanks Doc.

Lisa's parents went inside her room and pitied their daughter.

"You don't deserve this, please be strong. We're waiting for you. Jennie is waiting for you".Her mom uttered sadly.
