G - Grisly
The phone call to her parents was... eventful.
She called her father, who almost wanted to fly to get there as soon as possible. Not long after, her mother and Suzy arrived too. Apparently, Rosé had called her. They all looked worried.
It had been almost an hour since the nurses took Lisa and Rosé to the examination room and no one has gone out to tell her how Lisa is. She took more than a half-hour to work up the courage to call her dad. She ended up calling him because she had no news from Lisa and her father was friends with a few doctors there who could easily tell him how Lisa was doing.
"Explain to me, Irene. What happened?" her father demanded to take a seat next to her.
"I-I, daddy the d-door."
"I want the truth, Princess."
Irene sighed, she placed her elbows on her thighs and dropped her head between her arms. "We had an argument... while we were waiting for doctor to see me a-and she said s-some stuff-"
"You started it, didn't you?" he interrupted her.
"It doesn't matter, Dad. She said some hurtful things to me and I got mad, when we got out, she was about to pass by the car and I wanted to... maybe... hit her a little bit." Her mother covered her face with her hands and shook her head, knowing what was coming.
"So, I opened the door, but she was going faster than I thought and she wasn't wearing her helmet. She just crashed against the door, her nose was bleeding, some of the glass from her motorcycle cut her eyebrow." She sobbed, her eyes got filled with tears, she was still worried about Lisa's health but also afraid of what her parents were going to do.
"Bae Joohyun!! How could you do that?! What is wrong with you!?" her father shouted, what Irene told them was worse than what they thought.
"I-I don't know, I'm sorry, Dad, Mom..." tears ran down her face. "I didn't mean for that to happen, I swear I just wanted her to fall or something. But I didn't want her to get hurt like this."
"Are you aware of what could've happened if she was going any faster, Irene? She could've died!"
"I know that, I know. And I'm sorry, okay. I'm sorry."
"You seriously need to start being more responsible, Irene, you can keep doing this kind of things without expecting some kind of things without expecting some kind of consequence." He stood up and went to the nurse's station to ask about Lisa.
Seohyun hugged her daughter, she knew that what Irene had done was unacceptable and wrong but she could see that her daughter was sorry.
Suzy on her part didn't know what to do, Irene was her best friend but Lisa was Rosé's cousin and in the last month she had become one of the most important persons in the world for her. She wanted to understand why Irene had done what she did but she couldn't. It was stupid and childish and as Siwon had said, Lisa could've died for some stupid argument.
Siwon came back minutes later and told them that after suturing Lisa's eyebrow she got unconscious and they had to make some tests and scans to see if there wasn't another more serious situation going on in her head.
He couldn't believe how far Irene had gone with her stupidity. He loved her daughter more than his own life but he couldn't keep looking the other way whenever Irene did something stupid.
He needed to act and do something about it before something worse happened. He and Seohyun were thinking about doing something but he needed to talk to the other person he wanted to involve too.
"The money to pay the bills will come out from your allowance." He informed Irene.
She gaped at him. "What?! That's not fair, Daddy."
"What's not fair is Lisa being in pain inside there." He pointed towards the examination rooms. "Because some stupid revenge plotted by you, we'll have a serious conversation once Lisa feels better."
Irene didn't say more, whether she wanted it or not; her father was right.
Suzy saw Rosé walking towards them and ran to hug her, Rosé's eyes were puffy and red, an obvious sign that she had been crying.
"How is she, babe?" they weren't a couple yet, but Suzy loved to call her like that.
"She's awake now, but she's vomiting and apparently she can't remember what happened or she's protecting Irene." She said from Suzy's neck.
"What do you mean with 'protecting Irene'?"
"Suzy, you think I'm stupid? I know that this wasn't an accident, I know that Irene did it on purpose."
Suzy sighed. "She told us what really happened, apparently, Lisa told her some things; not that that's any excuse. She said she wanted to hit her a little or maybe trip her but it backfired."
"It doesn't matter anymore. The damage is done. Luckily there's no bleeding on her brain or any skull fracture, just the busted nose, the cut on her eyebrow and the concussion..."
"You sound so sexy when you say medical terms." Suzy tried to lighten the mood.
Rosé chuckled. "Shut up, but thanks."
They walked to where the other's were, as soon as they saw her, Siwon and Seohyun bombarded her with questions about Lisa's state. Rosé told them the same she told Suzy but they were still worried.
She had gone out to tell the Lisa needed to stay the day and all night at the hospital and that they could leave. But none of them wanted to leave.
Siwon asks the nurse to put Lisa in the best room in the hospital and to give her the best treatment possible.
Once Lisa was taken to the room, all of them went there, it had its own living room with some couches, a small dining table and a flat-screen tv. It was separated from Lisa's bed by a glass wall with some blinds. They all sat on the couches except for Siwon, who walked to where Lisa was.
He grabbed one of the chairs in there and moved it close to Lisa's bed. "How are you feeling, honey?"
"Still dizzy but no pain anymore."
"They gave you good meds, huh?" Lisa nodded with a lazy smile on her face.
"I'm sorry this happened to you."
"It's okay, I don't even remember what happened so..." she trailed off.
"Still... nurses will take good care of you while you're here okay? And us too."
"You gonna stay all day?" she asked surprised.
"We will, it'll be some kind of family reunion."
"Well, we do have the person that hates everyone and everything." She tilted her head toward Irene.
Siwon laughed. "She doesn't hate you, she hates that she can't control you as she does with everyone else. I wanted to ask you a favor, though I don't know if today is the right time."
"Shoot! You can ask me anything, man."
"Since my wife and I are getting tired of Irene's attitude, we were thinking that maybe she could live with you." Lisa's face was like one of those girls in the terrible horror movies when they're about to be murdered. "I know it sounds horrible, but we were thinking that maybe that way she can go back to be the old Irene we all knew and loved."
"Sir, with all due respect, there will be three people living in that house and I'm pretty sure that by the end of the first day one of us will leave the apartment in a body bag and the most terrifying this is... that it will probably be me. By my own hand."
Siwon chuckled. "She is a handful I know, but I wouldn't be asking you if I didn't trust you, we could easily rent some apartment for her but she sucks when it comes to taking care of herself."
"Sir, I'm not home in the morning or afternoon, neither does my cousin. I arrive home around midnight, my cousin does it around 10 in the night. We wouldn't be around that much to take care of her."
"I know that honey, I'm not asking you to be her babysitter, just let her live there at least for two weeks. We'll pay you the rent for the month and everything else, we just want her to see that her actions have consequences."
"Well, if you really wanna do that then you'll need to ask my cousin. She'll be the one to spend the most time with her, if she agrees then so do i."
"Deal? Do you promise to look after my daughter if Rosé says yes?" he asked holding his hand in front of Lisa.
"Deal, Sir."
----------
Irene kept thinking about what could've happened if Lisa was going any faster. She couldn't erase from her brain the sound she made when she crashed against the door or the image of Lisa's face covered in blood.
She still couldn't believe how bad everything ended.
"You okay?" Suzy's voice stopped her train of thoughts.
"Yeah, fine."
"I'm going for some coffee to the cafeteria, wanna come with me?" Seohyun had asked Suzy to take Irene out of the room because they needed to talk to Rosé about what Siwon had told Lisa.
"Uh, yeah, sure." She stood up and ask her mother if she wanted something. They left the room after everyone told them what they wanted.
"I still can't believe that brain of yours came up with the idea of doing this to Lisa." She said when were inside the elevator.
"I'm an asshole, that's at least what everyone thinks. So, I don't know why you can't believe it."
"You're not an asshole, Irene. You just have some self-control issues."
"The same thing, I never meant for this to happen but oh well, here we are."
"So, let me see if got it right, You." Rosé pointed at Siwon and Seohyun. "Want Irene to live with us."
"That's right, darling." Seohyun answered.
"But why? If Lisa doesn't end up dead on the first day, it will be Irene or me. Or even the three of us."
"Please, we just want to teach her a lesson, to let her know that every action has its consequences."
"I get that, Sir. I really do. But, you know she hates Lisa and probably me too. And to be honest, right now I really really wanna hurt her because of what she did to my cousin."
"We understand that, like I told Lisa we could easily rent an apartment for her..."
"But we know that with you guys, she'll be safe. A plus for you is that you'll get to boss her around." Seohyun finished the sentence for her husband.
"What did Lisa said?"
"She said if you agreed with it, she would do it too."
Rosé bit her lip, it was a bad idea. A fucked up idea. But if it caused some pain to Irene, she was going to do it. "What if she doesn't wanna do anything we asked her to do?"
"We'll take care of that, don't worry." Seohyun said.
"Fine, I'm in, but if we get tired of her, we'll kick her out."
"Understood." They both nodded. "So, we have a deal?"
"You've got a deal." Rosé shook both of their hands.
Irene and Suzy arrived with the coffees and some pastries from the cafeteria for everyone. They handed the cups to each person and sat down.
"We have some news for you, Princess."
Irene looked at her father, then at her mother and again back at her father prompting him to go on. "Well, you need to understand that every action has its consequences, and what you did to Lisa is unacceptable. Therefore, your mother and I decided that you're going to live with Lisa and Rosé for a few weeks."
Irene's cup of coffee almost fell out of her hands when she heard what her father had said. "No! you can't be serious right now, Dad!"
"Oh, I am. We are. You gonna live there, you're going to cook your own food, do your laundry and everything that comes with the responsibility of being a grown woman.
"Donghae will have some well-deserved vacations so you'll have to either walk or use the bus to go to school. And most importantly, you'll do everything Rosé and Lisa ask you to do."
"I won't fucking do that!"
"Language, Irene. And you will, your mother and I love you more than you can imagine but we're tired of your attitude and behavior and if this helps with that, then so be it. Tomorrow as soon as Lisa is discharged, we'll take you to their home. So, enjoy your last night on your bed." He said with a tone that told her she better stopped arguing with him.
Siwon and Seohyun just hoped that their idea wouldn't end in a triple murder as Rosé had said.
