In one condition

Lisa's POV

It's been two weeks since the event happen inside the Mizaki's. And it's been two weeks that I'm preventing myself to look into Jennie's eyes. To be fucking honest, I really don't know why was I felt hurt when she questioned my concern for her, for her friends.

Imagine? I saw them having a large cut on her arm and Jisoo had those bruises that I don't even know what the fuck did happen to her, because that's not even a mild bruise. There's a large cut on her forehead, scratches all over her body and her lips are swollen. Who wouldn't be surprised and worried as fuck?

But maybe Jennie was right, who am I to her? To them? I was just their classmate and nothing more, not because they saved me, we already have that oh-so-called friendship. Maybe I'm really not a good person to be friend with that's why I'm still stuck with Sydney, but I'm not complaining tho. Sydney was enough for being my only friend that I can rely on, she can make me feel happy, safe and she never let me down. She never did.

"Lis, you ok?" Bam asked, pulling me out from my reverie. I blink my eyes before shifting my gaze at him and notice that the sounds already stopped and they were looking at me worriedly, especially Sydney.

"Y-yeah. Sorry." I apologized and lowered my head.

"Let's take a break first." Sydney said and pad towards me. "Here." She hand me a bottle of water and a towel for me to use and wipe my sweats. "Are you sure you're fine? You seems so distant these past few weeks."

"I'm really fine Syd, sorry for that." I said with a little smile to assure her but she pout unconvinced and ruffles my hair.

"You really have to forget about what happen and focus in this upcoming battle."

"Nah, I'm not thinking about that, I actually worried for my mom because she's getting more weaker and weaker each passing by." It's not a lie though it's not also a truth. Because I was really thinking about Jennie and my mom is really getting weak, she cannot move in the house without having attacks.

We don't still have donors and the only chance that we have is me, my own bone marrow though the result of the test if we had compatibility haven't been release but I'm still confident so the only problem is money. That's why we were constantly battling underground to gain money as much as possible, I even decided to resign in my part time job to focus with my dancing, my parents doesn't have any idea about that, all they know was I'm still working in a coffee shop whenever I will go out.

"Don't worry Lis, if we win this battle tonight, the prize will be enough for Aunt's surgery." Yves said and patted my back. "All we have to do is to win."

"Yeah, and also if we win, our next battle will be by the end of the month and you know who might our rival will be?" Bam asked, there's a smugly smirk tugging on the corner of his lips.

"Who?" We asked in unison.

"The Trio."

"W-what? Y-you mean I will h-have the chance to dance in f-front of them?" Sydney asked stuttering.

"Oh please Sydney, that's not my point! My point is, we will have the chance to beat those three girls." Bambam said with certainty on his voice, as if the Trio isn't the dance goddess.

"That's the Trio Bambi! Don't get too full of yourself! You know how good they dance!" Yves rebukes.

"And? Lisa is in our group, do you really think that they can beat Lisa's dance?"

"Hey, you were also good at dancing, you all are, stop saying that I'm the only one who can beat them." I said pouting, I really hate when people praising my dance but they downgrading themselves. "We came to this place because we can dance well, not only me."

"Right, this is a group battle anyway, not solo dance. Now let's continue practicing so I can see my Trio closer." Sydney said and took the towel from my hand and the bottled water. "Let's focus in this battle first because it will saves Lisa's mom." She said before playing the music as we positioned ourselves in front of the mirror and starts practicing again.

—

The battle night has came and I really don't know why did these three women are always here whenever we were going to battle, are they spying us or something?

"Lis, everything's fine?" Bam asked me while putting his mask on.

"Yeah, where's Sydney?" I asked back when I haven't seen her since we stopped talking to Byulie.

"Probably, she's outside, admiring the Trio." He answered. I shook my head while chuckling, she really likes those three mysterious girls. I can't deny that they were really good and awesome but since the moment one of them stared at me like she known me for long time, I starts feeling uncomfortable with them around. I turn to Yves who is now ruffling her hair in frustration. "What's wrong Yves?"

She snapped her head at me and shook her head furiously. "N-nothing."

"It's not nothing when you were acting like she cheats on you." Bambam point out and sat beside her. "Tell us, what's wrong?"

"The asshole was with Lia." She sighs and throw her phone behind her.

"And what is wrong with that? Aren't Lia is your cousin?" I asked.

"Yeah, and Luna likes my girlfriend."

"Ooh." We coos and giggled after.

"Fuck you!" She hisses and stood up abruptly to grabbed her mask and put them on.

"Isn't you're the one who flirted with Ysa first? You can't blame Luna for taking her revenge because you flirted with her girlfriend." Bambam teased which make Yves to throw a bottled water at him that he easily catch without even blinking.

"That was a good catch Bam but stop teasing her, we're about to battle and I don't want her to get upset." I said.

"Nah, I'm fine Lis. I'm not gonna sabotage this battle because it's for your mom." Yves said assuredly and smile at me.

"Thank y—." I was cut off by a loud thud coming from the door and there's Sydney entering inside with anger visible on her face. "What happen?" I asked worriedly. She look up to me and shakes her head.

"Nothing."

"It's not nothing." I pressed and pad near her. "What happen?" I repeat the question.

"Nothing, really, it's just that I found out something."

"What is it?"

She heaved a deep breath and exhales slowly, as if she's calming herself and when she look back to me, she smiled that and it makes me more confused. "Don't mind it, it's not a biggie." She said and tapped my shoulder. "The battle will start, let's go."

We all stepped out of the waiting room and a loud cheered from the audience surprised me, it was really loud compared to the first time we had a battle here, they were screaming our group's name, they are all wild and loud. I'm walking with my head down and preventing myself to look at the Trio who are looking at me with those deceptive eyes.

It makes me feel anxious but Sydney really made sure that I will not going to have an anxiety attack by holding my arms up to the ring. "Relax Lisa, we got you." She whispered.

"Thank you." I whispered back and smiled. I was fighting myself not to look at them, but there's a big side of me wants to look at the Trio and so I did, I steal a quick glance at them and to my surprise, they are not only three. There were four of them and the other one wasn't wearing a mask like the Trio, she's wearing a dark shades and a surgical mask with a cap. Is she fucking serious?

"Who's with them?" Yves asked, she was also looking at the girls beside me. "She's creepy and–." Yves stopped from talking when the weird girl held her middle finger to Yeji. "What the fuck?!" She blurted out and look at me in stunned surprised. "Did she hear what I'm saying?"

"I don't know, but that was really funny." I said and giggled while covering my mouth with my hands. I look back to the Trio and the girl with surgical mask waved her hand, I don't know if it was me or she really did waved at me? Who the fuck is that girl? No wonder she's with the Trio because she's also weird.

I scrunched my nose and ignore the weird girl as Bambam tapped my shoulder to get my attention. "Talk to Sydney." He whispered, I shifts my gaze to Sydney and saw how upset her face was while cracking her knuckles. I nodded at him and pad near Sydney.

"Hey, what makes you mad like that?" I asked while waiting for the MC to introduce our rival.

"I just found out the most shitty secret." She scowled but not to me, but to the side of the Trio.

I was about to ask her but I didn't had the chance as the MC announced that the battle will begins, we all nod to each other and focus on the battle, but before that. I steal a very quick glance at the Trio and notice the girl in front of them staring at me, I shrugs the uneasiness that she's giving me and shifted back my gaze in front where a seven man standing, if I'm not mistaken, they were the group who harassed the trio when the first time I watched their battles.

They are all looking at me, no– they are glaring at me like they were about to kill me? What the fuck did I do to these men?

"Lisa, no matter what happens. Just stay on our back." Bambam whispered while glaring back the other group, same as Yves and Sydney. I'm really confused right now, I don't know what the hell why are they suddenly acting like that?

"Let's finish this shit quickly." Yves said through her gritted teeth while staring at the men angrily.

I chose not to ask a question and just did what they asked me to do, which is staying behind them. The MC tossed the coin in the air and we wait for his word who will be the first to show the dance move and the coin showed head, and that's them.

They started dancing and the audience became wild than ever, they are really good but not as good as the Trio. After two minutes, it's our turn to show our moves, I was about to walk in front of them but Sydney stopped me.

"Don't, just stay at the back." She orders, even though I'm really confused, I still obliged her and stayed at back while doing our choreography.

It was all smooth and all, even if I still stayed at the back where my spot supposed to be in the front, I still did my choreos right, thanks God we still did our moves smoothly, not until the gray haired man storms towards me but Sydney and Bambam was quick to pushed the man away, I don't know if it's still belong to their steps but the color of his eyes changed from brown to dark rose.

Am I fucking hallucinating? I screamed on my mind when I noticed his fangs.

"What the fu–." I was cut off when Yves pushed me sideways when a man with blue hair tried to reach me. "The fuck is going on?!" I yelled while pushing myself from the ground. Everything happen so quickly that I didn't notice the audience stopped from moving like some witch, freeze the time, the deafening cheered suddenly changed into full silent, it's as if I was dreaming and everyone is not moving, even Bambam, Sydney and Yves.

My eyes went to the Trio but they're also not moving, except the girl in the front, she was staring at me, her eyes were giving a glare that was freezing my bones, like being nude in the middle of a hailstorm, where every chunk of ice was a frosted dagger cutting into my skin. I shake my head furiously while blinking my eyes rapidly, trying to wake myself up from whatever nightmares I'm into, but nothing happen.

The girl was still looking at me, and everyone else was still not moving. I starts feeling something weird, something is wrong and I knew I wasn't dreaming, but what the hell is really happening right now?

"What the hell is happening?!" I yelled, specifically to the only girl who probably can hear me. She didn't response, but instead, she looked to the group of men and shook her head slowly. "Please tell me what the fuck is happening right now! Why are they not moving?!"

"Shut the fuck up." My eyes were almost bawled out from its sockets when I heard her voice, it's not a voice I was expecting to hear from her, it was deep and like a robotic sounds. I stared at her, loss for words and mouth hung open. "You're just dreaming, wake up and open your eyes." She said before snapping her finger and everything went into darkness.

"...up Lisa!" The sounds of muffled voices came to be clear, my eyes slowly opening and blurry vision of Sydney's face greets me. "Oh God! You're awake!" She blurted out and hugged me.

"W-what happen?" I asked groggily and tried to sit up.

"Y-you fainted." Bambam said, but he seems to be so nervous. My eyes wandered around and we're still inside the underground but already in the waiting room.

"I faint? Why?"

They exchanged secret glances before looking back at me. "Maybe you're tired, we also don't know, we just saw you fell on the floor." Sydney said.

I fell? No, that's not what really happen, when Yves pushed me, everything became weird, from all the people inside the underground got froze, to that one of the trio who's the only one not freeze aside from me. But just like what the girl said, I was only dreaming, there's no way in hell it would happen. What is she? A fucking witch who can stop everything moving from its axis?

"What about the battle? What happen?" I asked when I remember why are we inside the underground. Their eyes look at me apologetically and even if they won't tell me, I already knew that we've lost. "I'm sorry."

"No Lisa, don't say sorry because we still won!" Yves exclaims and jumped in happiness along with Bambam. My eyes lit up and look at Sydney.

"We w-won?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yes!" She said and pulled me for a hug. "We already have the money for your mom's surgery, Lisa!"

"Oh m-my God. Yes, my mom!" I exclaimed, the same with my tears starts dripping down because of happiness that I can finally save my mom from dying. "Let's go home! I need to tell this to my Mom!"

Yves and Bambam stopped from jumping and look at me. "Can we stay a little bit?" Bambam said making me frown.

"I'm already fine if that's what—." My words were cut off when the door abruptly open, revealing the weird girl with the Trio.

"It's clear, you can now go home." She said and look at me before running away.

"Wait–!" The girl quickly vanished from the door that I didn't had the chance to ask her what she was talking about, but that's not the real reason why I stopped her from going away. I can't be wrong, that was Sana's voice!

"Let's go Lisa." Sydney said and grabbed my hand, their moves are hasty and as if they were hiding, Bambam is in front of us while hugging the bag with full of money, Yves was at the back. They are really acting weird and I'm not really having any of it, I've already gone through a lot of weird scenarios, since that day we attend Jisoo's birthday. No, actually that wasn't the start, it was when I watched the battle of the trio. Since that day, everything became weird and everyone begun acting weird.

I took back my hand from Sydney when we all exited the small house that leads to underground. They all stopped from walking and turn to me quizzically.

"What the fuck did really happen earlier? To be honest, I'm happy that we won but how? Knowing that I fainted in the middle of the battle and I'm sure as fuck that weird girl awhile ago was Mizaki Sana! What exactly the hell is going on?!" I asked frustratingly.

"Lisa, it's not Sana–."

"It's her! I can't be wrong, I know her voice! And you were telling me that I faint, but how the fuck can you explain why are y'all preventing me to be in the front? How can y'all explain why did Yves pushed me on the ground?!"

"I didn't, what are you talking about?" Yves asked me innocently.

"You didn't?"

"I didn't, you're still dizzy Lis?" She asked while holding back her laughter.

So that was really a dream? But why does it feels so real? And why did I faint in the middle of the battle when I was really doing great? There's a lot of question running on my mind right now that I need an answer because its making me crazy!

"Let's just go home first and take this money to your home before someone might rob it from us." Bambam said and we all agreed. I sigh deeply before hopping on my bike and once again, there's that feeling of someone staring at me but I ignore it and starts driving home.

–

I skipped classes for today to go back to the hospital, I need the results now to know if we're compatible and I have the capability to be my mom's donor, Sydney insists of coming with me but I refused and just told her that I will call her once I get the result.

I was anxiously waiting for the test result and keep tapping fingers to my lap, my knees is shaking and I couldn't will them to stop from shaking. I don't know why but being inside the hospital alone really makes me feel anxious. Maybe because even if I'm confident about the test, I still don't know if my mom would survive the operation.

"Ms.Mcklein?" A girl in all white called my name and signaled me to follow her inside the doctor's office. I released a lungful sigh before standing up and enter inside.

A man in his scrub look up to me from the folder he was reading and asked me to sit down, I obliged and wait for him to talk. He sighs deeply and exhales slowly, it somehow adds to my anxiety, it also makes me feel nervous as fuck and I'm silently praying that he's not going to tell me some bad results.

"I'm sorry Ms. Mcklein, but you and your mom's bone marrow isn't compatible."

I felt my world torn apart, my heart clenching and tears starts streaming down. "H-how did it h-happen?"

"I'm sorry, but we already ran multiple test but it keeps coming out that you and your mom isn't compatible, so we suggest for you to look for another donor or we will wait."

"But she's getting weaker, do you think she can still wait for a donor?"

"She needs to be here, we need to confine her so we can check her and help her." The doctor said. He know that my mon doesn't want to stay inside the hospital and it really bothers him because he wants to help my mom but mommy hates hospital as much as I hate cooking. "Please Lisa, I need you to cooperate with me, your mom needs a better attention because her cancer isn't that common cancer, it was really rare and it's hard to cure that's why it needs to be taken care moreover, she will be getting weak each passing day, but if she's here, we can still make her life long while waiting for a donor."

"I understand Doc, don't worry, I'll talk to my Dad about this." I said as I stood up, we shook hands and left her office, feeling so down. I don't know who or where am I gonna find a donor, I don't know if I still have relatives, my mom never talked about them, my Dad too. He doesn't have any relatives left.

I let out a lungful sigh and lower my head while walking, until there's a pair of feet stopped in front of me, when I look up, well not totally look up because Jisoo was really small than me, I was just bowled my head that's why.

I was about to open my mouth but then, I remember the last time I've tried to be friend with them, it was such a disheartening feeling when Jennie slapped me with her words, I look down again and try to passed her but Jisoo stopped me from going away as she grabbed my hand.

"I can help you with your mom."

I whipped my head at her and creased my brows. "You can?"

"Yeah, in one condition."

"What?"

She smiled at me and tilt her head sideways, it was really a cute sight to see of her to be honest.

"Please accept Jennie as your significant other."
