"I've to go back to Busan tomorrow"

Lisa announces as she steps into Rosie's office and watches the way the blonde reacts to the news. She takes a deep breath, the back of her head hits the headrest elegantly as she crosses her legs under the working desk, her eyes are on Lisa. Completely unreadable.

"I've told Nayeon and Sana to manage your schedule for tomorrow so you don't have to worry" Lisa adds again as she stands still in her spot, a few steps away from where Rosie sits. Professionalism in her tone as she holds her gaze with Rosie. "It's not that Lisa" Rosie clicks her tongue before shaking her head softly. "You've been back to Busan often now. And it's a bit of worrying. Is everything alright?"

"Everything is fine" the Thai convinces her superior. "It's just my family. My mom, you don't know her but she has retired from the court because of her cancer last Summer and she wants to spend her time with me and stuff..."

"Cancer?" Rosie shoots off her chair immediately as she grabs Lisa by her arm. "Lisa, you didn't tell me before ..." she accuses before her eyes flutter open with worries flooding inside them. "Is she alright? Do you need my help? I can give a call to a few oncologists in Seoul so that they can see your mom and ..."

"Calm down" Lisa chuckles lowly as she hangs her head down and lifts her face up gain to meet Rosie's confused face. "She's fine. I mean, yeah she used to have cancer. It's brain cancer in simple English. I don't remember the exact medical term that the doctor used but yeah" the Thai shrugs her shoulders as she clears her throat. "But she's fine now. In fact she been NED since her last surgery"

"And you didn't think it's right to tell me about that?" Rosie accuses. "Lisa, for god's sake. We are best friends. We don't hide anything from one another"

"I know we are best friends" Lisa nods her head. One hand travels into the pocket of her well - tailored grey pants. "And that there's no secret between us. But how much do w know about each other, exactly? Like I know who you are and the family you come from. How much do you know about me in return?"

She asks again, hoping that Rosie would say something that will make her heart less longing for her. She hopes, just in the slightest that Rosie would say something that makes her think how much the blonde cares about her. But Rosie's silence that morning proves everything right.

Of how she never matters.

Taking a deep breath, Lisa laughs awkwardly. "Just ignore what I said. I've gone cuckoo a little these few days. But don't forget to pick Ji-Ae from school later. I can't do it. I have so,etching else to do and she hates it if none of us go to pick her up" Lisa finishes and without a warn, she steps outside the office and locks herself inside her own.

Rosie still stands where she stands, her eyes are still locked on the spot where Lisa was a second ago.
