Chapter XXVIII

The Old and The New

Lisa turned back for the last time. The other girls were urging her to go in. She did "YOU DIE" signal to Jisoo. The older lady rolled her eyes.

 

"Go in!"

 

"Hang on! I need to take a deep breath!"

 

"Fine!"

 

The plan was simple. Lisa had to break the news to Jennie. And then the girls would walk in; one by one so that Jennie would not suspect anything. Lisa took a deep breath and shook her hands. Her palms were sweaty.

 

"Are you sure this going to work?"

 

Nayeon suddenly had cold feet.

 

"Nayeon, you just need to look solemn. Your role is the simplest!"

 

"But it's Jennie! She might see through me. I'm a dork."

 

"Then try to look serious. Avoid staring into her eyes."

 

"Irene, you can just act stupid."

 

"Thanks baby. You think highly of me."

 

"Well, your words might give us away."

 

"Seulgi unnie's right."

 

"Kim Jisoo, I'm going to complain to Mina!"

 

Jisoo rolled her eyes.

 

"I guess my role is the hardest."

 

Chaeyoung spoke up after a long silence. Jisoo turned to her.

 

"But don't worry; I can do it!"

 

"Is this going to work?"

 

Seulgi asked.

 

"I hope so. I need to know what's on her mind. I don't care if she's going to kill me. I just need to hear that she loves me now."

 

Jisoo didn't want to do this but her heart was broken before. She was just protecting her heart.

 

Meanwhile Lisa was slowly opening the door. She looked in; the living room was empty. She frowned for a bit before looking back. The girls were giving her the questioning look. She was about to tell them nobody was home when someone appeared in front of her.

 

"WOAH!"

 

Lisa and the stranger jumped on the spot immediately. Lisa felt like her heart was going to explode. She glanced to the back; the girls were no longer there.

 

"Idiots."

 

She hissed under her breath.

 

"Pardon?"

 

"Huh, it's nothing. Who are you?"

 

"I'm Sooyoung. Jennie's sister's girlfriend."

 

Lisa looked on when suddenly another lady appeared beside Sooyoung. Lisa was captured by her beauty for a second before she shook her head hard.

 

"Sooyoung, who's this?"

 

"I have no idea. I heard noises so I went out. She was opening the door."

 

The three girls stared at each other blankly before the pretty girl introduced herself.

 

"Hi, I'm Yeri. I'm Jennie's sister."

 

"Oh, I'm Lisa."

 

"Lisa?"

 

Yeri found the name familiar. Sooyoung introduced herself again and Lisa shook hands with her. Yeri suddenly gasped.

 

"You're the one who stole my sister's girlfriend!"

 

"Huh?"

 

"You stole Chaeyoung unnie!"

 

Before Lisa could react, Yeri jumped on her. Chaos ensued.

 

-

 

"What the."

 

The girls outside was stunned when they witnessed Lisa was struggling and a young lady on her back screaming at her.

 

"Who's that?!"

 

Jisoo quickly asked. The crazy girl was strangling Lisa.

 

Chaeyoung's eyes grew larger.

 

"Oh my god, that's Yeri!"

 

"Who?"

 

"That's Jennie's sister!"

 

Chaeyoung quickly wheeled out with the rest of the girls tagging from behind. The surprise didn't go according to plan. They had to rescue Lisa.

 

-

 

Lisa was still coughing. Yeri really gripped her neck tightly earlier on. Chaeyoung was hugging her.

 

"Chaeyoung unnie, what's wrong with your legs? Why are you on the wheelchair?"

 

Yeri stopped when Chaeyoung appeared in front of her. Lisa quickly ran away from her; hiding behind Chaeyoung.

 

"Yeri, it's a long story. I know you're mad with me for leaving your sister. But it's not Lisa's fault."

 

Yeri glared at Lisa; the lady cowered to her side. Chaeyoung went on telling her story and Yeri was staring blankly at her.

 

"You what?!"

 

Yeri stood up immediately but Sooyoung managed to hold her tightly.

 

"Easy, baby."

 

"Oh my god, are you insane? You should know how much my sister loves you!"

 

"I know but I couldn't let her share this burden with me."

 

"But my sister is equally stupid too."

 

Everyone was surprised when Yeri said that.

 

"She's in love with this girl called Jisoo but she kept denying it."

 

"You know about Jisoo?"

 

Yeri nodded.

 

"But I've not seen the person yet."

 

Seulgi turned to Jisoo who nudged her with her knees.

 

"And now the lady's dead."

 

Jisoo rolled her eyes.

 

"Er, Jennie told you?"

 

"I rushed all the way here. She left me a message that scared the out of me. You can ask Sooyoung. I went with Sooyoung for awhile because our car wouldn't start."

 

Chaeyoung turned to Sooyoung and the girl nodded her head.

 

"What did she say?"

 

"She said she wants to die because the person she loves so much left her behind."

 

Jisoo's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. Jennie gave up on her life the moment she knew Jisoo could have perished in the plane crash. Everybody except for Yeri and Sooyoung was staring at Jisoo.

 

"Chaeng unnie, do you know who Jisoo is?"

 

Yeri was hoping Chaeyoung would know.

 

"Yes, I do. Yeri, I need you to stay calm."

 

"Why? Is she really dead?!"

 

Yeri's eyes grew larger.

 

"Actually she's not really dead."

 

Yeri and Sooyoung stared blankly at Chaeyoung.

 

"What?"

 

Lisa pulled Jisoo by the shirt collar and flung her towards Yeri. Jisoo glared at her before smiling sheepishly at Yeri.

 

"Who is this?"

 

Everyone was staring at Jisoo. Sooyoung's eyes grew larger. And Yeri finally understood.

 

"WAIT! YOU'RE JISOO?!"

 

"Er, yes."

 

"YOU'RE NOT DEAD!"

 

Jisoo rolled her eyes for the hundredth time. Everybody has been cursing her to death.

 

"No, I'm still very much alive."

 

"OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

-

 

Jennie opened her eyes to find her room was empty. Her sister and her girlfriend were not in the room. She got out from her bed and turned to look at the time. It was close to 12 midnight.

 

"How long have I been sleeping?"

 

Jennie mumbled to herself. Despite that, she still felt tired. Well, she wasn't really tired. She was just losing her energy; her soul and even her own life because Jisoo was no longer around with her.

 

"Jisoo...."

 

Jennie's tears immediately brimmed in her eyes. Just a mere thought of Jisoo could bring so many tears to her eyes. She wiped them away as she made her way out of the room. She opened her room door and realized her living room was empty as well. The lights were off.

 

"Where's everybody?"

 

Jennie wondered. She felt a little hungry so she went to the kitchen to make herself some sandwiches. Finally she could hear the door opening. She peeked out of her kitchen doorway and saw Lisa walking in with Chaeyoung.

 

"Jennie, you're awake?"

 

"Yeah, where have you been? And did you see my sister?"

 

"Unnie...."

 

Yeri came in with Sooyoung. All of them looked solemn. Jennie's heart sank.

 

"What's wrong? Where were you girls from? How come you are together?"

 

Sooyoung looked at Yeri; Yeri looked at Lisa and Lisa turned to Chaeyoung. They were waiting for each other to speak up. Jennie was losing her patience. In fact, she was terrified. She decided to start with Sooyoung.

 

"Sooyoung, speak up."

 

"Huh?"

 

"I'm waiting."

 

Yeri was so damn right. Jennie would pick the weakest and Sooyoung was chosen.

 

"WHAT?!"

 

Yeri stood up again; she was ready to pounce on Jisoo but Sooyoung pulled her back.

 

"Why would you want to do that? That's a nasty prank!"

 

"I just wanted to know how much she loves me."

 

"She wanted to die with you. Isn't that good enough?"

 

"She pushed me away. She said mean things. I was hurt too."

 

Yeri bit her lower lip. Jisoo told her the whole story from the reason why she wanted to leave and why she wasn't on the plane. She knew her sister's stupid temper might hurt others.

 

"You do know my sister is going to kill you if she finds out."

 

"Oh my god, why does everyone keep reminding me that?"

 

"She's pretty much ready to get killed anyway."

 

Seulgi spoke up. Yeri thought about it for a moment and then grinned.

 

"You know what, you're right. My sister deserved to be taught a lesson."

 

"Yeri, you're equally evil!"

 

Yeri rolled her eyes.

 

"Oh come on, you're more evil. You could kill my sister!"

 

"Okay, let's not drag this any longer. Can we just end this prank quickly? I don't feel good about this."

 

"Oh, Lisa unnie!"

 

Lisa turned to look at Yeri.

 

"I'm sorry about the strangling marks around your neck."

 

Lisa smiled and Chaeyoung pulled her closer into her embrace. Yeri was smiling away. She finally understood the reason why Chaeyoung left her sister. Maybe her destiny was not with Chaeyoung. She turned to look at Jisoo.

 

"You."

 

She pointed at Jisoo. Jisoo looked at her.

 

"Do you really love my sister?"

 

Jisoo didn't wait any second.

 

"I love her to death."

 

Yeri was impressed. So the girls planned what to do. Lisa was appalled that they would still go ahead with the prank. But she was glad she was not going to play the main role.

 

"My sister's going to target Sooyoung."

 

"Why?"

 

"My coward girlfriend is terrified of her."

 

Sooyoung rolled her eyes.

 

"Okay, then let Sooyoung do the talking."

 

"WHAT? NO! I'm going to stutter all the way!"

 

"That's good! You're always stuttering in front of her, baby."

 

"Kim Yerim, are you really going to sell me away?!"

 

"Don't worry; we could always blame Jisoo unnie for this."

 

Jisoo raised her hands up in exasperation. Everybody was determined to see Jisoo dead.

 

-

 

"Er, we received a call from Seulgi. I believe you know her."

 

Jennie was staring at her. Sooyoung swallowed hard but Yeri nudged her to carry on.

 

"She...she..errr... told us to rush to the airport earlier on."

 

Sooyoung's forehead was already sweating. Yeri, Chaeyoung and Lisa were watching Jennie's reaction.

 

"And...?"

 

Jennie's voice quivered. She was hoping not to hear any bad news even though she knew it was possible that Jisoo has left her forever.

 

"They cannot find Jisoo..."

 

But even before Sooyoung could finish her sentence, Jennie wasn't listening anymore.

 

Jennie fainted immediately.

 

-

 

"That was fast."

 

"Lisa Manoban, why are you standing there for? Can you please help Sooyoung?!"

 

The girls were shocked when Jennie fell to the floor.

 

"I'm feeling sorry for Jennie now."

 

"We have no time to waste! We have to go to the next plan!"

 

"Oh my god, she's heavy!"

 

"Shut up, Sooyoung! That's my sister!"

 

"Try carrying her then."

 

"Ya, Sooyoung! Hold on tightly!"

 

"I'm trying!!"

 

Chaeyoung called Jisoo immediately.

 

"She fainted within seconds."

 

"Huh?"

 

"Let's just precede to the last plan. We will meet at Seulgi's place!"

 

"Will she wake up soon?"

 

Yeri smirked.

 

"When she's out cold, it will take hours before she's conscious."

 

"I'm not taking the risk! Quickly, get her into the car!"

 

The four girls were struggling so much.

 

"Oh my god, I feel like a criminal! We kinda kidnapped Jennie!"

 

"Sooyoung, shut up and drive."

 

It was so chaotic.

 

-

 

"This is crazy. Why am I doing this?"

 

Jisoo had planned her own "funeral". There was a photo of Jisoo in a big frame and some candles burnt at the front of it. Jisoo was grinning to herself.

 

"That's the best photo!"

 

"You could still grin!? You're doing your own "funeral", you dimwit!"

 

Jisoo ignored her and Seulgi gave up. She saw Nayeon coming through the door with paper bags. Seulgi slapped her forehead.

 

"Nayeon, what the hell!"

 

Nayeon came back with snacks to make the funeral look genuine.

 

"We're doing memorial service. What's memorial service without food for the people visiting the   dead?"

 

"The dead is still alive. And she's smiling at her own damn "funeral"."

 

Seulgi rolled her eyes when Jisoo stuck her tongue out at her.

 

"I'm enjoying it!"

 

Irene wasn't helping her girlfriend at all.

 

"Baby, you're sadistic. I cannot say much about you."

 

"Oh come on, chill. If Jisoo really get killed by Jennie, this funeral might come in handy."

 

"STOP CURSING ME!"

 

Seulgi gave up on the crazy ladies. She was just wondering why she was dragged into this in the first place.

 

-

 

"Why are we here?"

 

Jennie finally regained her conscious. The girls were waiting for her to wake up.

 

"We're at Seulgi's place."

 

Jennie was terrified.

 

"We're attending Jisoo's funeral service."

 

Jennie went berserk.

 

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
