"Unnieeeeeee!" Lisa's loud voice echoed in the apartment, making Rosè groan while Jisoo chuckled and shook her head.
"Yow, Lalisa? What happened?" Jisoo asked, still laughing at Rosè.
"LOOK!" Showing her phone, there's a picture of Jennie at the airport with her manager and 'someone'.

"Is that Chahee Unnie?" Rosè asked, looking at the photo.
"Yes! That's what I wanna ask you two! She didn't tell me about this! They are surely going to Coachella together! Urgh, I wanna go too." Lisa exclaimed whilst Jisoo remained silent.
"Did she tell you, Unnie?" Rosè asked Jisoo seeing how her eyebrows furrowed.
"Huh? No, actually, I don't even know she would go to LA. I knew it when Manager Oppa said he had to escort her to the airport."
"What? You don't know?" Lisa shrieked, shocked by the fact she had learned.
"Nope", Jisoo stood up and went straight towards the kitchen, opening her fridge, and taking out her favourite coffee milk.
"Are you guys okay?" Lisa asked in a low voice, afraid that the oldest would be mad.
"Hm? Of course, I mean, I guess, for me, we are okay, but lately, she rarely communicates with me; I guess she's so busy." Jisoo shrugged it off and took a sip, "Want some?" She asked, the receiving a faint 'no' from the younger.
"Okay, I need to go later; Soojoo asked me to go watch the cherry blossoms together."

"Soo?"
"Hm?"
"Stop this; what are you doing! This is not you!" Soojoo yanked the bottle in Jisoo's hand, knowing her friend was drunk already.
"Jooyaaaa, aniyaa, gimme back," drunkenly Jisoo whined, trying to reach the bottle back.
"Soo... Could you stop it? Talk to me; this is not how you are doing it, soo."
Jisoo stayed still, head down, staring at her lap, fiddling her finger; her mind was clouded with stupid thoughts. Her schedule is hectic; she barely has time to relax.
Soojoo looked at her, worrying about how messy her friend was; the last time she saw Jisoo like this was when the news was about Jennie and Kai.
"I'm a fool, right Joo?"
"Soo..."
"I am a fool... trying to reach what I thought was near to me for years when it's far away, so far for me to reach." with the last word, Jisoo sobbed loudly, making Soojoo rush to her and pull her into the embrace, soothing her, telling that she's worth it. Convincing her that the woman she's chasing for years is stupid enough to let go of someone like her.

A week passed by, and Jisoo was busy attending meetings, photoshoots, and work-related. Soojoo never forgot to text her, reminding her to eat, rest, and take care of herself, something that she's grateful for having someone like Soojoo in her life who cares for her dearly.
She let out a heavy sigh. Looking at her last text with the girl she adored for nearly eleven years, but of course, she's far from the girl's standard. The last text of Jisoo texting how great the latter is in her new hair, and the girl sassily replied, saying that she already knew about it, making Jisoo chuckle but later frown because it's been more than a week since their last communication. Their group chat has been quiet, but Jisoo still texted the other two members as frequently as she could every time she had a gap between her work. Jisoo takes the clue that the now-orange-haired girl doesn't want to communicate with her when the girl doesn't even tell her about her departure to the L.A.
But she cares for the girl more than she cares for herself.
Drinking her coffee, she logged into her private Twitter account; she went through the fan bases account of the girl she adored, watching the updates even if it's not an HD updates. It doesn't fail to make her lips tug a bit. Truthfully, of course, her heart hurt watching the girl clinging to another person.
That should be me.
Sliding the page to refresh, her heart clenched seeing the new update. She knew that the girl loved parties; she knew how the girl loved dancing under the lights; she had seen something like this a thousand times; she shouldn't be hurting like she was right now, but she couldn't fight how her heart clenched so hard making her eyes brimming in tears.
Her world fell apart; seeing how happy the girl she loved should make her happy, but it hurt her when the reality showed that the girl would never be hers.
