She fell first, I fell harder

22

As the evening descended, Jisoo and Chaeyoung found themselves sitting in the cozy living room of Chaeyoung's house, the soft glow of the lamp casting a warm ambiance around them. Lisa sat between them, her shoulders hunched and her expression crestfallen, still reeling from the events that had happened earlier at school.

She couldn't just brush it off of her mind after her very own girlfriend just made a scene in front of everyone just because of misunderstanding.

Jisoo reached out, gently squeezing Lisa's hand in a gesture of comfort. "I can't believe Jennie would do something like that," she murmured sympathetically, her eyes filled with concern. "Are you okay, Lisa?"

Lisa let out a heavy sigh, her heart weighed down by a mixture of hurt and disappointment. "I don't know, Jisoo," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "It just hurts so much...to know that Jennie would choose someone else over me."

Chaeyoung wrapped her arm around Lisa's shoulders, pulling her close in a comforting embrace. "I'm so sorry, Lisa," she said softly, her voice filled with empathy. "You don't deserve to be treated like this. You're too good for her."

Tears welled up in Lisa's eyes as she leaned into Chaeyoung's embrace, finding solace in her friends' comforting words. "Thank you, guys," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

Jisoo and Chaeyoung exchanged a sympathetic glance, their hearts breaking for their friend as they vowed to stand by her side through this difficult time. Together, they would weather the storm of heartache and pain, knowing that with each other's support, they could overcome any obstacle that came their way.

As the evening pressed on, Taehyung arrived at Chaeyoung's house, a warm smile on his face and a bag filled with Lisa's favorite snacks in his hands. Lisa's eyes brightened slightly at the sight of him, grateful for his thoughtful gesture.

"Hey, Lisa," Taehyung greeted, his voice gentle and reassuring. "I brought some of your favorite snacks. I thought we could all hang out together and cheer you up."

Lisa's lips curled into a faint smile as she accepted the snacks from Taehyung, touched by his kindness. "Thank you, Taehyung," she replied softly, her voice tinged with gratitude. "That's really sweet of you."

Jisoo and Chaeyoung chimed in, offering words of encouragement and support as they settled in together in the living room. Taehyung wasted no time in unpacking the snacks, laying them out on the coffee table for everyone to enjoy.

As they nibbled on the snacks and engaged in light-hearted conversation, Lisa felt a sense of warmth and comfort wash over her. Surrounded by her friends, she found solace in their presence, grateful for their unwavering support during her time of need.

With each passing moment, the heaviness in Lisa's heart began to lift, replaced by a glimmer of hope and optimism for the future. In the company of her friends, she knew that she would get through this rough patch, emerging stronger and more resilient than ever before.

As Taehyung drove Lisa home, they arrived at an unexpected scene unfolding in the living room. They both stopped on their tack at the sight that welcomed them. Through the living room, Lisa could see Jennie and IU engaged in what seemed like an intense conversation at the couch.

Curiosity mixed with concern, Lisa hastily made her way inside, Taehyung following closely behind. The atmosphere was tense, and Lisa overheard IU manipulating Jennie to leave her instead. Anger surged within her as she realized what was happening.

Without hesitation, Lisa stepped forward, her eyes blazing with determination. She interrupted IU's manipulative words with a sharp slap, the sound echoing through the room. Jennie's eyes widened in shock, caught off guard by Lisa's sudden arrival and the swift action.

"Enough," Lisa declared firmly, her gaze piercing through IU. "I won't tolerate anyone trying to come between us, especially with deceitful intentions. If there's an issue, we talk it out, but manipulating Jennie is unacceptable. Stop meddling between our relationship because you are just a mere nobody!"

Taehyung stood by Lisa's side, his expression serious as he observed the unfolding situation. The room fell into a heavy silence, disrupted only by the sound of Lisa's firm words.

Jennie, despite the initial shock, seemed to register the gravity of the situation. She cast a conflicted glance between IU and Lisa, torn between the two. The atmosphere remained charged as the three confronted the underlying tensions that had surfaced.

Taehyung, sensing the need to diffuse the situation, gently bid Lisa goodbye before ushering IU out of the house. Despite IU's protests and attempts to linger, Taehyung remained firm, guiding her outside and closing the door behind them.

Left alone with Jennie, Lisa's expression was a mix of disappointment and hurt. She stared at Jennie in disbelief, the weight of the recent events settling heavily on her shoulders. Without a word, she turned and began to ascend the staircase, her footsteps echoing through the quiet house.

Jennie watched her go, Anger flared up once more, fueled by the sight of Lisa leaving her behind. Her fists clenched at her sides, frustration mounting as she struggled to process everything that had transpired.

Jennie's heart sank as she entered their room and saw Lisa sitting on their bed, her shoulders shaking with silent sobs. She hesitated for a moment before approaching, the weight of her own guilt heavy in her chest.

"Lisa..." Jennie began tentatively, her voice a soft murmur. "I... I'm sorry."

Lisa looked up, her gaze meeting Jennie's, a mix of vulnerability and hurt in her eyes. "Sorry doesn't erase what happened, Jennie," Lisa replied, her voice strained.

Jennie hesitated, grappling with the words she wanted to say. "I messed up, okay? I let my insecurities get the best of me, and I hurt you. I didn't mean to."

Lisa remained silent, waiting for Jennie to continue, her expression a blend of skepticism and exhaustion.

"I just... I can't stand seeing you cry, Lisa. It tears me apart. Can we... can we please talk about this?" Jennie pleaded.

Lisa sighed, a heavy exhale that spoke volumes. "Jennie, you need to understand. Your jealousy, and the way you treated me in front of IU, it hurts that you chose to defend her over me. I need some time alone right now. I need to process everything."

Jennie's pride flared up again, resisting the urge to fully admit her fault. "Fine, have your space. But just know, I'm sorry, and I want to make things right," she said, her tone defensive.

Lisa shook her head, weary of the back-and-forth. "Just leave me alone for now, Jennie. I need time to heal," she requested, turning away from Jennie.

She left the room, the door closing softly behind her, leaving Lisa alone with her thoughts and emotions.

Lisa cried silently again as she slumps herself on the bed, she caressed her baby bump feeling sorry for stressing her baby too much. She blames herself for everything that happens, because of her jealousy it led them into a big fight.
