Blind Date Gone Wrong || JenLisa

Chapter Thirty-one

Days later, afternoon
Library, University of Seoul

Brown eyes scanned the library from left to right, looking for a certain brunette. A couple of tables were filled by varsity students wearing letterman jackets, probably making up for those minor subjects they had missed during practice.

A wide smile spread across Lisa's face as she saw a familiar wavy brown hair. Jennie was wearing a huge yellow sweater and a beige scarf around her neck. Her smile immediately disappeared upon seeing the brunette's frown. Jennie was flipping some colorful study notes before her.

"Hey, what's with the long face?" Lisa greeted the brunette, kissing the top of her head. The smell of sweet daisies infiltrated Lisa's nose. She took a seat beside Jennie.

Jennie placed down her notes and snaked her arms around Lisa, resting her head against the latter's chest. "I'm just nervous about the results of my exams. It's so frustrating."

Lisa wrapped her arm around Jennie's shoulder, rubbing and squeezing them. "I'm sure you did great, Jen. I don't even know why you're worried."

"I just, I don't know, Lis. I feel like I did something wrong on the essay portion about the Incas in Peru. I feel like I haven't justified enough on their inventions."

"Well, I'm sure the Incas would be proud of your justification," Lisa said, comforting the brunette beside her. "I'm sure they'd have built you a monument."

Jennie softly chuckled, looking up at Lisa and placing a kiss on her jawline. Then she looked away and muttered, "I don't know how I'm gonna last the weekend waiting for the result. The agony is driving me insane."

Something sparked inside Lisa's brain upon the mention of the word 'weekend', remembering Sorn's text message a while ago.

"Do you want to go with me to Cheonan this Saturday? It's my Granny Doris' birthday."

Days later, noon
Doris' house, Cheonan

The sun was bright outside the two-story red-bricked house of Doris. The guests were in the backyard seated around a white iron table, overlooking a manmade pond and a small garden beside it. An unfamiliar fiftyish handyman named Hyun Bin, and his wife Ye Jin were also there. Lisa liked it that her grandmother was still making friends.

"So, you're the girl my little Lisa is obsessed about?" Doris asked, smiling from ear to ear.

"Granny," Lisa warned, face totally flushed.

Doris raised her hands as if she was held up by a police officer. "I only say the truth and nothing but the truth."

Jennie let out a soft laugh and replied, "Well, Lisa here is the sweetest person I know."

"Mm, I raised Lisa to be that," Doris said, squeezing Jennie's hand on the table. "So tell me if she has stopped being sweet to you and I'll personally visit Seoul and tell her to grow up myself."

Lisa laughed nervously, still red, upon seeing the interaction between her girlfriend and grandmother. Jennie's indeed the nicest person even in Cheonan.

Then Sorn suddenly came out from the kitchen, bringing a large round pink cake Jennie had picked out on the drive earlier. Candles were already lit on top of the cake as Sorn covered them with her hand.

"Here's the birthday cake for a very special lady!" Sorn cheerily announced. And they stopped their conversation as they began to sing a happy birthday song.

The next day, late afternoon
Beach in Cheonan

The sun was about to set in the horizon when Jennie and Lisa decided to drive back home. It would take them about 4 hours to get to Seoul. The thai looked at the brunette beside her. She looks so happy, Lisa said to herself.
