JENNIE'S POV

2 weeks.

Where has time gone. Lisa is going to return to the palace. How will this work? I trust her, when she said she will fight for us. I believe her completely.

I've seen and read about all the things she has done as a princess. She has made an impact in many countries and in people's lives. She has always been the nation's pride. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I ruin her relationship with her parents or her reputation as a Royal.

I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't notice Lisa sitting beside me.

"My love? You in there?" Lisa said poking my head.

I turned to look at her. Just admiring all her features. She really is the most beautiful woman I've ever met.

As if Lisa was reading my thoughts, she held my hand close to her chest, "Don't for a second think that what we have is just going to last until then end of my stay here. Jennie, when I asked you to be mine, what do you think I was asking?" I remained silent, not quite sure what she meant.

"Can you feel my heartbeat? It beats for you Jennie. I would never ask you to be mine if I wasn't certain that I want to have a future with you. I never had a relationship prior because I never could see a future with anyone. Until I met you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I know this is a lot. But I've never been so sure of anything. I love you." Lisa kissed the top of my hand.

No one has ever said something as beautiful as what Lisa just said to me.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you too, babe. I really love you. So much."  I let the tears fall.

I could see that she was also not looking forward to us being apart. But she was trying to be strong.

"Promise me something?" I nodded for her to continue. "Don't believe everything you see from the news or the media, especially if it doesn't come from me. Promise me, you'll trust me."

"I promise you." I assured Lisa.

"I plan to tell my parents when I return. I want them to hear it from me and not some other source. Is that okay with you?" Lisa asked for my permission.

"Of course babe. I-I just hope that I'm good enough for you." I was feeling insecure all of a sudden.

"You're more than enough. My love, we are all the same. I'm a human too. Please don't put me on a pedestal." Lisa leaned her forehead on mine.

"B-but you're a princess and I'm just.. I'm just me." I continued to voice my insecurities.

"And that's everything I love. I love you, just you. So, I'm a princess. Then I will get that 'happily ever after' I want." Lisa began to giggle and I laughed at how cliche she made all this sound.

"Is it okay if I told Jisoo and Jin about us?" It was my turn to ask for her permission. "Of course. You'll tell them and I'll tell my parents on the same day?" I agreed with Lisa.

"Can you teach me how to make brownies?" Lisa asked in the cutest voice.

"How can I say no to this face? Let's go baby." I laughed out.
