Jennies hands trembled as she sat backstage waiting to be called on stage she didn't know why she was so nervous she'd performed at the VMAS millions of times but that was a different Jennie when she was happy when her love was still hers now she was almost 30 and miserable everyone had moved on with their lives while she stayed stuck in the memories of her ex lover who she knew now was married to Somi she could see they were happy
together so she stayed away she avoided her ex band mates like the plague too they all broke her heart she was so much better off alone but she wasn't she took a job with a company in training people how to sing with girls she trained them day in day out and now they were all idols the world knew of them people praised Jennie but she always told people it was the girls hard work and determination that got them to where they are now not her they were in the audience too. She heard her name being called followed with some loud screams and cheering she wondered how loud her friends were she knew they'd be the loudest ones she cherished them a lot. She stepped out onto the stage "hi everyone im Jennie Kim " she smiled hearing chahee yell "that's my best friend!" She giggled "it's been along time since I've been up here I was a young lady then now I am an old woman" she waited for everyone to stop laughing before continuing "as you all know I've been through a lot I've done crazy things, reckless things and just down right sad things but it's all part of life so I think an 8 year hiatus was enough for me so here I am the same but a completely different person appearance wise too I didn't have many tattoos then now they tell my story of all my experiences I want to thank everyone who stuck by my side and helped me through everything and I also would like to thank my ex band mates they made me the person I am today I have immense love for all of my girls and I thank a certain person I'm sure they know who they are" she glanced at lisa before quickly looking away.

"So I've done enough rambling even for me so here it is my new but old song right where you left me" she started to sing strumming her guitar keeping her eyes closed throughout the song.

"Friends break up, friends get married
Strangers get born, strangers get buried
Trends change, rumors fly through new skies
But I'm right where you left me
Matches burn after the other
Pages turn and stick to each other
Wages earned and lessons learned
But I, I'm right where you left me
Help, I'm still at the restaurant
Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
They say, "What a sad sight"
I, I swear you could hear a hair pin drop
Right when I felt the moment stop
Glass shattered on the white cloth
Everybody moved on
I, I stayed there
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair
They expected me to find somewhere
Some perspective, but I sat and stared"

Only opening them at the chorus to glance at Lisa before looking over at Jisoo and Rosé who had tears in their eyes soon enough she felt her own tears falling the song described everything she felt when Lisa told her she didn't love her anymore her world was broken but she harboured no hate for Lisa or anyone involved she loved them all she just couldn't keep hurting herself being around them.

"Right where you left me
You left me no, oh, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever
You left me, you left me no, oh, you left me no
You left me no choice but to stay here forever
Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen?
Time went on for everybody else, she won't know it
She's still 23 inside her fantasy
How it was supposed to be
Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion?
Break-ups happen every day, you don't have to lose it
She's still 23 inside her fantasy
And you're sitting in front of me"

She remembers the gut wrenching feeling, the tears, the doubts, the worries as she watched her Lili fall in love with someone else but what could she do? All she could do was accept her cruel fate. Love is never easy in fact most love is painful like a double ended sword.
