More Than Miles (JenLisa Adaptation)

17

"You know, I'm just waiting for your word, Lisa." Bambam broke the silence on their way back to Jennie's clinic.

They went out to buy lunch for the brunette who was busy with her clients.

"Are you urging me to get back at Hanbin?" Lisa asked, her head tilting to her cousin.

"Admit it or not, he started it. You would never sleep with Somi if they hadn't taken advantage of your emotions. You wouldn't have to stay away from Jennie for years. You wouldn't have to blame yourself and feel guilty." Bambam snapped back.

Lisa stared out of the window. He's right. If Hanbin hadn't told her those things, she would never doubt Jennie despite of what had happened. But Lisa was also aware that no matter what happened, Somi would still be involved. Maybe it would just turn things a little bit.

"It's still my fault. If only I don't suck at talking. If I wasn't a fool enough to let their words control me... if I wasn't a jerk enough, you know that Bam. Can't blame it all on that douchebag." Lisa snorted.

Then there's silence.

"Do you still worry about Somi?" Bambam asked, noticing the silence of the silver-brown haired girl.

Lisa let out a loud sigh. She knew that Somi would still have the upper hand. Even if she and Jennie tried to fight together.

"You still hadn't told Jennie, did you?" Bambam added. He tilted his head a bit and saw the worried look in Lisa's eyes.

Despite her cold façade, he could still see through her. The same way that Jennie does, and the same way her friend's does. Because this, this is the Lisa Manoban they knew.

He knew, they knew that it might be impossible to bring the Lisa back five years ago. But at least now, her walls were brought down. She was letting people in again. She's letting them in.

"Just tell her, Ppeu. I'm sure we'll find a way to eliminate Somi, for good." Bambam encouraged her.

"I just hope so. I'm getting tired of all this."

The two cousins arrived at Jennie's clinic, carrying the lunch they bought. Lisa entered through the front door, a small smile on her lips when she saw Jennie seriously doing her work. The brunette quickly noticed her presence, upon looking up, Jennie beamed at her and motioned for her to wait a little more. Lisa nodded, knowing that Jennie needed to finish treating the sick cat that her client brought.

She went straight inside to Jennie's office where she waited patiently for the brunette for them to eat lunch together. She wondered around the small office, she smiled when she saw their picture when Jennie had graduated from college. Then her mind fleet back to Jennie's attitude towards Somi earlier, despite her guilt, she was amazed at how Jennie stood up for her.

At how the feline eyed girl stood up for them.

Now, all her doubts seemed to flood away. She could see just how Jennie loves her. Lisa still felt bad for all the things she had done and nothing will change that now. Maybe she wouldn't get how Jennie is still able to accept her. Despite everything. She knows that of course, it's still hard for Jennie, it was never that easy, she knows that it's hurting the feline eyed girl. She could see it through Jennie's eyes even if she tries to hide it with her gummy smiles.

And it's slowly killing Lisa inside. To watch Jennie set her pride aside, to ignore the pain and be strong for the two of them. One thing that Lisa had failed to do so when both Hanbin and Somi were poisoning her thoughts.

Lisa could feel her heart pound harder and at that moment, just by watching Jennie being focuses at her work, her mind was clouded by Jennie. It's like she's forgetting everything and if she's going to be selfish, the silver-brown haired girl knew that if ever she's getting married, she wanted it to be with Jennie Kim.
