𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘉𝘌𝘛 /JENLISA

Thirty Three

Lisa's POV

The sun went down and there's still no sign of Jennie. We've been trying to call her but her phone's off or broken. Mino managed to track it's last known location but they didn't find anything. By the time they got there, police were crawling all over the area and they were not allowed to cross the yellow line. They went back empty handed and were currently staying at the penthouse in case Jennie showed up.

Ella has been bothering me all day about Jennie but I can't think of anything. I don't want to lie to her but I can't tell her the truth. Moving away from Jennie could be a real challenge. I should have thought about it before agreeing to this kind of living situation but I didn't really have a choice. She's been attached to her so much.

"Come on Ella... You need to eat." She hasn't eaten since afternoon when she found out that Jennie wasn't around. "Just a bite."

"I want Jennie." She whined.

And I lost it. I slammed my hand on the table startling her. "Jennie's gone! If you don't want to eat then starve!" I walked away leaving the innocent child crying on the table.

It's all my fault. I never should have pushed her away.

Yes.. it was just a bet. But I felt that everything she showed us was true.

I'm such an idiot!

I let my pride get in the way.

Irene's POV

"Have you heard anything?" I asked seulgi for the thousand time and I'm thankful that she was patient with me. From the moment we got into her apartment, I can't help pacing and thinking about what might happen.

"No.. but we need to bring some DNA sample to match the dead bodies."

"Then we should go to her unit."

________

By the time we entered the unit, I knew there was something wrong. Lisa's slumped in the couch while Ella was crying in the kitchen table.

I pointed to seulgi at Jennie's room. She nodded, understanding that I need to do something here. She'll find what she needed in Jennie's room.

"Lis..." The moment I sat down beside her, she began to breakdown.

"It's all my fault. I pushed her away." As Jennie's sister, I should be mad at her but I understand her situation. I'd be angry too if I found out that I was just a bet.

"We'll find her." I need to believe that Jennie's not one of those roasted bodies. She can't be dead. She just can't. "I'll talk to Ella." She nodded and I went towards the kitchen.

"Hey..." The girl looked up. From the looks of it, she hasn't eaten anything. "Ella... Listen to me." She looked at me with teary eyes. It broke my heart to see this poor girl hurting. "Jennie's a little sick... She can't come here because she don't want you to become sick." I don't know why I said that but I wish she'll believe me. The girl is too smart for her age.

"When will she come back?"

"Soon." I hope so. "So be a good girl and eat your food. You don't want to be sick when Jennie comes back."

Damn you Jennie! You can't be dead!

Seulgi came out from the room and signaled me that she got what we needed.

I turned back to Lisa. "Hang in there." She didn't respond. I sighed and left with seulgi.

Seulgi's POV

"Good you're here! You're back in the case!" I was a little bit surprised at his statement but it was good news.

"Why?" It was Irene who asked for me. Maybe we got a new lead.
