✧*̥˚DECEMBER - A year in the life- *̥˚✧ [✔]

SPRING ✧*̥˚ The Dad anxiety *̥˚✧

"Ughhh..." Jennie exclaimed unhappily while preparing dinner. Lisa was helping her while Ella was busy doing her homework in the living room. Since Lisa was bad at cooking, the only things she was allowed to do was getting ingredients out of the pantry for Jennie, stirring stuff and refilling Jennie's wine glass when it got too empty. You got to have cooking wine! While cooking. Obviously.

"Use your words my Love." Lisa encouraged since this was like the fifth time Jennie had sighed in a grumpy and stressed out manner. 

"Ughh is a word." Jennie argued, taking a sip from her glass of red before cutting up the onions. "It's an expression of discontent."

Lisa loaded off the tomatoes she got for Jennie next to her cutting board and swiftly moved in to hug her girlfriend from behind. The Thai wrapped her long arms around Jennie's petite waist and pulled her flush against her front, topping it off with a soft kiss to Jennie's ear.

"Talk." She demanded gently and began swaying their bodies from left to right. 

"Lisa, I'm gonna cut myself." The dark-haired woman complained more giggling than scolding and let go of the knife she was holding with a clatter. Jennie didn't really have any plans of resisting the offered love from her girlfriend.

"Honey if there's something that neither the cooking wine, nor my hugs can fix, you have to tell me."

Jennie cuddled back into Lisa and nestled her head against the taller one's throat. "Your hugs do fix things." She allowed. 

"But not the thing you've been sighing about?" Lisa inquired carefully. 

Jennie sighed again and Lisa pulled her in even more. 

"My father has been calling...." The korean told Lisa very very quietly, so Ella wouldn't hear her from the living room.

Lisa literally felt the anxiety come off of Jennie when she said that. Her parents were a really touchy subject, having thrown Jennie out of the house and cut ties with her when she accidentally got pregnant at sixteen.

A couple of months before Jennie and Lisa met, Jennie's mother had unexpectedly died from a heartattack. And ever since the funeral, Jennie's father had been trying to make ammends. 

He wanted to rekindle a relationship with his daughter and majorly, he wanted to finally get to know the granddaughter he also pushed away. Having seen the error of his ways, he obviously had some deep rooted regrets.

But Jennie had some serious trust issues that weren't overcome so easily. Thinking of her father alone, gave her very mixed feelings, up to hardcore anxiety.

"We knew he would eventually." Lisa commented solemly, still rocking Jennie back and forth. She had briefly met Mr. Kim three months ago when her and Jennie had barely started dating.
He had shown up on Jennie's doorstep completely unannounced, trying to talk and mend their relationship. Jennie had been close to a panic attack and if it hadn't been for Lisa, the meeting would have gone a lot worse.
