Jisoo got into her house at one in the morning with Rosé who followed behind.

The four girls had talked for a bit after she had calmed down, and she felt better than she did before. She still felt shocked, she still couldn't wrap her head around everything. She still had so many questions.

But she realized that even if her parents weren't her biological parents, they were still her parents. Her umma and her appa. The ones who love her, the ones who take care of her, the ones who are there for her.

They made her feel the love she probably wouldn't have received otherwise. She loved them with all her heart. And that was more important than sharing their genes. Having their blood run through her veins.

Blood was just a fluid that connected parents to their children, while love was something that created the bond. Love created the relationship that blood could never. And she realized that.

Jennie and Lisa were sitting in the car listening to soft music. Lisa parked in front of Jennie her house and they both got out. Eventhough it was summer, it was still pretty chilly outside at around one.

Lisa knew that she wouldn't be able to get into her house anymore for the night and didn't even want to at the moment She knew that she wouldn't be able to handle the reality of everything. She was past her curfew, her father was already mad because the contract was for no use anymore, and just her father being there.

Being in his presence was suffocating enough and in the past 24 hours so many things had happened that already made her almost run out of air. Being around him would be too much.

Jennie was nervous and ashamed. She was scared that something was going to happen to Lisa while they were in her house, because things weren't the safest. Her bed room door had had a lock but a drunk man broke it two weeks ago, leaving her vulnerable in her room.

She felt ashamed because one of the richest girls in Korea was going to be in her house. Her house that could almost be presented as a slum. The girls bed was probably bigger than her bedroom and she was scared of getting judged.

She nervously fumbled with the keys before managing to open the door.

The smell of weed, alcohol and cigarettes greeted them as they walked inside.

Jennie cursed herself in her head as she saw a lot of trash again, mainly empty cans, bottles and cups with a few other things laying around. Lisa scanned her surroundings and started to feel bad for her friend.

Is this what she had to come home to every day?

"Sorry for the mess... I will clean it in a bit." Lisa bit her lip and shook her head slightly, "hey no, you are tired. You should sleep. We have school tomorrow."

Jennie nodded, too tired to really put up a fight. "Alright... Lets go. Do you want to take a shower?" Lisa nodded and sat down on the edge of her friends bed when they went into her room. Jennie nodded and quickly went to retrieve a decent looking towel and some clothes for Lisa.

"Here you go... The bathroom is the last door... not that there are a lot of doors." She chuckled and Lisa nodded and smiled, "thank you."

Just as she was about to walk away Jennie called her a bit hesitant, making the younger girl turn around. "This is... embarrassing... but please don't shower too long? There isn't a lot of hot water available at the moment... I still need to pay the bills."

Lisa nodded, "Okay Jen, don't worry. I won't"

In the small shower Lisa quickly stripped out of her clothes and turn on the cold water tab. She took a bit of soap and quickly rubebd her body with the gel before washing it all off, getting her hair wet in the process. She shivered a bit and tried to finish as fast as possible. She may be rich but she wasn't inconsiderate and wasn't about to use the little bit of warm water that they had. She didn't mind the cold water if it meant her friend would have warm water for one shower more.
