8- Iᴛ's A Pɪᴛʏ

𝖩𝖨𝖲𝖮𝖮

I wanted to talk to Rosé but Jennie clinged to my arm.

"Jagi, can you help me do a live for my fans?" She asked cutely and I glanced at Rosé.

She looked heart broken.

"Okay" I nodded and she took me somewhere far away from Lisa and Rosé.

I looked back at Rosé and she smiled weakly.

"Chu.." Jennie tugged my arm.

"Oh, sorry"

𝖱𝖮𝖲𝖤

So this is my life now. Was this how Lisa felt?

No wonder she drugged me.

The only woman I love is with someone else,,, and that's not me...

"Chaeng, let's go and play with the kids--"

"Not yet, Jennie and Jisoo will probably wanna do the live with them and I don't want us to be in tomorrow's headlines" I held her hand and she nodded.

Jennie and I just finished the live and I had to go to the loo.

I was on my way out when I bumped into Rosé.

My hand automatically went her arm, just like before.

"S-sorry.." I took my hand off and she nodded.

She walked past me and went into the bathroom.

I was washing my hands when she came out.

"Your daughter is a ball of sunshine. I like her" She told me.

"I could say the same about Lia too. I really see myself in her. She's a good kid" I smiled and stepped aside for her to wash her hands.

"I do too"

"Hm?"

"Nothing. H-how are you, u-unnie?"

"I'm fine, a-and you?" I stuttered.

"I'm good too" I said and she smiled.

I turned around to leave but she held my hand.

"G-gidarida..." (w-wait...)

I turned around and she blinked.

"I missed you... maneun.." (very much..) She swallowed and I faced her fully.

"I missed you too Chaeng" I breathed and she stared at me for a while then hugged me.

"Jisoo yah.." She clutched my coat and I sniffled.

I really miss her.

"Pasta" I  breathed and stroked her hair.

She sniffled and we stayed like that for a while until she pulled away.

"Are you mad at me?"

"No. I was upset about Lia's name but I guess I'm okay now" I said and she shook her head.

"When I gave birth to her, all I could think about was you, and what you told me" She held my shoulders.

"Let's.. let's not talk about the past anymore.  We should leave" I looked away and she nodded.

We went out of the restrooms and were now in the park.

"After you left, I thought I'd never see you again unnie. All I had left was your jacket, the handkerchief and... my little Lia" She told me and I looked at my feet.
