As Kook drove the car to the porch, Jimin and Lisa got out of the car and Jimin opened the mansion's door for Lisa. With a 'thank you' smile, she walked in followed by Jimin and Kook.
On seeing Xiao sitting on the couch, Lisa exclaimed, "Oh, my dear... Umm... Xiao!!!! How are you? Are you fine? Is your shoulder alright now? Did you get enough rest? If it still hurts, you can come and see me, I'll be happy to help you." She said all this in one breath, approaching Xiao.
As Xiao was unconscious when she got treated she didn't know Dr.Lalisa. And so, she gave Lisa a weird kind of stare. "Um... Who are you?" Xiao asked confused.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. I wanted to make sure you were fine. I am happy to see you back in good health condition." Lisa smiled at her.
"Uh... what?? Are you coming from any mental asylum?" Xiao asked.
It was like a slap on her face, for Lisa. She got hurt by those words. Lisa's enthusiasm never meant to make people feel uncomfortable. It had always made everyone and every patient of her, happy. It was the first time someone felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, Lisa's eyes filled with tears.
Jimin and Jungkook felt sorry for Lisa.Taehyung stood there confused not knowing what was happening actually.
"Oh... I am Dr.Lalisa. I treated you when you got shot earlier at the hospital. I just came to make sure you were fine." She said with a fake smile. Wiping off her tears, she turned back to leave.
"Wait, stay until the rain stops," Taehyung said.
"No, I have to go," Lisa said walking outside.
"I'll drive you home," Jimin said, fetching the car key.
"No, it's fine. I can go by myself." Lisa insisted.
"Just get in the car," Jimin said opening the door for her.
Xiao stood there embarrassed and cursing herself for being stupid.As Jimin drove off with Lisa, the others went back inside.
*In the car.*
Half of the drive was awkwardly silent.Lisa was staring out of the car window and looking at the dripping raindrops, while Jimin was looking nowhere else but straight and driving.
"You know, Xiao wasn't conscious at that time so she won't be remembering it. Don't take her words to heart." Jimin said breaking the silence.
"Yeah, I know... it's fine." Lisa said, wiping off her tears.
"Where do you live?" Jimin asked.
"Huh?" She looked at him confused.
"To drop you off," He said.
"Oh... No thanks, just drop me off at any nearby taxi station." She said.
"But-" He was cut off by her, "I'll be fine," She said.
The rest of the drive was as silent as before.As he dropped her off at a taxi station, she got off the car and smiled at him, "Thanks for the ride, Jimin." and walked away to find shelter, so as not to get soaked.
With a small smile, he drove away.
