97. Ruby
"I promise it won't be long." Lisa said while smiling as she carefully folding the shirts and put them in the basket.
It was 2 pm, when she has seat inside Jennie's room, folding the laundry of Jungkook's and Jennie's daughter clothes on the sofa before leaving for Thailand for 3 days.
It's been three years she never attends family outing because she was too busy taking care of Jeon's family. She dedicates every tear and sweat for them. For her friend Kim Jennie, no, its Jeon Jennie. For her only love Jeon Jungkook. And for the new heart thief, Kim Ruby Jane.
The toddler, the beautiful Kim Jennie's doppelganger.
"Mommy, she looks like me." Thats what the toddler said to Lisa every time the 3 yo little baby looking at Jennie who is still unconscious from her long sleep.
Ruby Jane was given by Lisa herself. She remembers how Jennie once uses the name for her initial when Jennie was in high school. Thankfully, the little girl grows up as a cheerful baby with gummy smile just like her mother. And had so many aegyo just like a young Lalisa. Talk and asking so many things about everything, just like Jungkook. Everyone loves the baby, including the Kim's, Kim Jennie's parents.
Once in 2 weeks they will come for meeting their grandchild while checking on Jennie's condition. They were hating Lisa to the bone. They even tried to take Jane with them. But of course, Jungkook never let them to do that, he knows how Lisa love Jane. But right now, the Kim's probably loving Lisa more than to Jennie. She took care their daughter and granddaughter very well. They even know how Lisa keeps the distance to Jungkook.
Practically, she serves her life for him, and for a little regret to Kim Jennie. She merges Manoban Corp into Jeon Corp, and never ever work anymore. She transforms to be full time mother for 3 years.
Thats hard, to rise a baby. To make Jane to be a good person. A cheerful daughter with a bright smile on. She can't feel lonely and unwanted like Jennie, or Lisa, or Jungkook. But in the process, when it's getting harder and harder, when her patient tested, she finds peace in them.
Jennie's mother said that Jane won big deal to be raised by Lisa, but Mrs. Kim doesn't know that the one who is teaching someone else to be better is Jane herself. And only thinking about Jane who was now laying peacefully beside her always make her heart fluttered with butterflies.
"Watching you smiling like that, are you really happy to leave us?" Jungkook said softly while carefully caressing Jane's bangs. He sighs when Lisa gave him no answer. "Can't you just stay and rescheduling your trip?"
Lisa is smiling sadly as she checks on the little girl who just giggling in her sleep. Maybe she had good dream there. Folding the last clothes she then looks at Jungkook.
"I've rescheduling for 3 years in a row. And believe me, how big your concern for me to leave this place, I feel the same Jungkook oppa." His heart melt, but he doesn't want to live where he can't sees her even for one day. "And I have a very old grandpa who is also asking me to meet him, just this one, just this one, please." She plead with her eyes make him sigh and then opening his arm as a sign for hug.
They prevent to touch each other more than holding hand and hugging each other.
She kindly approaching him for a hug, the warm and safe place she likes the most.
"Can't we follow you there?"
"Jen unnie can't be alone."
"The nurse will be beside her 24 hours in a day."
"But what if she is awake when she was alone?" She tries to be calm even though her heart aches.
This is the ego in her. She always thinks about what Rose said about Jennie's condition. If Jennie wakes up, of course that's good news. But how about Lisa's life?
She put everything on the back of Jeon Jungkook as if he is her husband. She gives her company and just staying at home making sure that his daughter raised well. Thought well. Physically and mentally.
With the awaken of Jennie will make her lost everything. Her life will be messed up. Lisa needs to adapt to live without Jeon Jungkook and Kim Ruby Jane anymore. And it's always made her heart aches. Just like right now.
"You always said that from 3 years ago." He said even sadder. But they have no time to feel sad, no. They should cherish every second that God gave them as it lasted.
"Anyway, I'll check once again around the house and will start to prepare myself." She releases the hug and smiling sweetly at Jungkook before standing up and leave the room. Jungkook watching her leaving with a wild thought about her lips.
He shakes his head. He needs holy water.

"Make sure to not giving junk food for Jane."
"Yes Miss."
"Warn Jungkook oppa to brush Jane teeth before sleeping."
"Yes Miss."
"Don't give spicy food for Jane. Make sure you put them on separate bowl with Jungkook oppa if he wants some spicy food. Hide ramen well."
"I understand Miss."
Lisa is walking out from the kitchen and was about to go to laundry room.
"Jungkook oppa is very sensitive about smell. Make sure you use the same fabric softener as the usual I use." She points out at the almost empty bottle of fabric softener. "Knitted clothes must be washed manually." The maid nods once again. "And make sure you dont delay washing Jane's clothes."
--
"Mom, I want to go with you." Said the little girl cutely but the tears just falling make Lisa put her bag and reaching for Jane from Jungkook's hand.
"Little baby, don't cry. Mommy will be back quickly."
"But I don't want you to go." The little girl begins to cry louder.
"Baby, Yāy (grandma) want to meet me."
"Then can't I see Yāy with you? Doesn't she want to meet me too?" Lisa is pouting and scooting beside Jane, Jungkook was busy to wipe his daughter's tears. And caressing her back gently. "Daddy, can I go with mommy?"
"Little baby, if you go with mommy, who will be with daddy, hmm?" Even though Jungkook also want Lisa to stay he can't be too greedy. He realizes how his life burdening Lisa. She stayed with him to take care of Jane. Without seeing her own family.
At first, he doesn't want to keep Jane or Jennie with him. When the older Kim's want to take both of them from Jungkook he is almost gave them what they want. But when he thinks about it again, keeping Jane and Jennie make Lisa stay at where he wants her to be.
Thats not enough, his greed always screaming the same word every time he wants more and more about her. But then to think about the days when he can't see her, it would be enough now. Seeing her every day, hear her voice, feel her caring.
Thats more than enough.
"Dad should come with mommy too."
"How about Jennie mom?" He asks once again make Jane stagnant. "We should stay, to make sure that Jennie mommy healthy."
With that Jane agreed to bid her farewell to Lisa with a lot of drama. Lisa sigh on the plane, watching the album where Jungkook and Jane posing weirdly on. She smiles and crying happily on the plane realizing how Jane grew up.
She is a big baby now.
But for her, Jane will always be a little bundle baby forever.
Maybe this is not what she wants her life ended. But she thinks this is enough.
