Please Believe That I Truly Love You (Jenlisa) (Complete)

Chapter One:

Jennie took a long steady breath. It's not about the flying plane the reason why she's feeling dizzy. She used to travel. Airplanes and hotels in various countries have been her home for the past five years. At the age of twenty-six, she has made countless flights to countless destinations. She was giddy with anticipation. It's been nine years since she left South Korea as a teenager and now she's coming back, fully grown-up. She had matured into a beautiful, smart and successful woman. She is dizzy because of what she will face in South Korea.

"You can handle this, Girl." She whispered to herself.

She felt the person next to her in the seat, an old foreigner, look at her. "Problem?" He asked curious.

She smiled at him. "No. No problem at all." And then she close her eyes.

Yes, all grown-up but she never once asked herself when she would regain the self-confidence she held when she was seventeen and believed that the world revolved around her.

She was seventeen years old back then..

"Hubby please. You have to do this for me." She sits on top of the formica top of the Park's modern kitchen. Roseanne Park is her best friend. Their friendship started at the kiddie pool of Jack Nicklaus Korea where their families are members.

"No!" Her best friend answered in the tone of the exclusive school for girls that they both attend. The college where the rich students of that school are identified. "Hey! Jennie Ruby Jane Kim, I know you always get your way.."

"What? You're over reacting. I don't always get my way." She strongly refused. "Besides, that's not the point. If you don't do it for me, I can't handle it."

Rosé took a bite of chocolate flavored ice cream. She swallowed it before speaking. "Please cut the melodrama. First of all, how can I get you into Jungkook's party, if I'm not even invited? It's like you don't know that the theme of the party is wild, right? It's only for the boys! And for the fast girls, if you know what I mean?"

"I know. I know." She heard about the party with a college student from the same school and also from Seocho-gu like them. The only occasion was Jeon Jungkook's college graduation, Rosé's maternal cousin and Jennie's one and only crush.

Rumored has the young man's unconventional parents are so serious about the eldest son that before he goes to America to continue his medicine course, he will be given a grand graduation party.

It is also news that there will be a flood of wine and women. The fulfillment of all young men's fantasies, they said. They said that pick-up girls were even invited to the party held at their house in Hannam Hill. Unfortunately, the party is by invitation only and strictly no minors allowed, so her only hope is her best friend Rosé to enter the party.

"Please, Rosie.."

"Please, Rosie.." Her best friend imitated her.
"My name has been scratched by you again. You are going to say your litany again about the fact that my cousin ignores you as a woman because until now, he reminds you that seven-year-old child that he saved from the swimming pool.

"But it's true. He looked at me like I am still the seven-year-old kid that he needs to patronize. I'm a big girl now, look. He needs to see me in a totally different light."

Rosé sighed. "Wifey, what did you see in that cousin of mine? As far as I know, he's never had a girlfriend. He's over for being a nerd!

"Excuse me! He's not a nerd. He is a genius." Jennie's defend her long time crush. Jungkook with soulful eyes and a smile that toothpaste models would envy. Jungkook who will graduate summa cum laude from the Molecular Biology course. "Jungkook is handsome and brilliant and wonderful."

Rosé shrugged her shoulder. "Whatever."

"Hubby, please listen to me." She still insists.
"I know you didn't have an invitation but I'm sure Jimin did." Jimin is Rosé's older brother. "All you have to do is take his invitation and give it to me. I'll take care of it from there."

"What? No! His room is a danger zone. For all I know, there are wild animals living under his trash. How would I find a piece of paper there? Besides, I have to live with him in this house. He will make my life a living hell when he caught me interfering with his things."

"Duh?" She looked at her best friend as if she didn't know how to think. "He will never catch you. Besides, everyone knows what a slob Jimin is. No one will be surprised if he lose a piece of invitation. His beeper goes missing every week."

"No." Rosé firmly refusal."What will your father say? My God! I know that he obeys everything you want that's why you turned to be such a brat."

"Stop calling me a brat. As if you're not a brat either. You're even more of a brat!"

"Excuse me?" Rosé asked innocently. "Besides, we are not talking about me but the situation between you and your father. We both know how strict he is when it comes to these things. Do you remember when he caught you talking to a cutie guy at the canteen? Terrible, I totally hated it. Does he also want to sue our dean for negligence? As if! What can happen in the school canteen?"

They both remembered that day because it took Jennie two days to convince her father to drop the issue. Even Rosé could not go to their house because of the fear of her father.

"What do you think he'll do when your father discovers this and finds out I had something to do with it? I swear to God wifey he might be given me a lethal injection."

She knew what her friend was saying was true. She was such a daddy's girl. She knew that anything would be given to her by his father who was an Minister of National Defense Asst. Director. Since her mother died when she was eight, Mr. Kim Jung-jae become over compensating for giving things to her. But at the same time being too strict. Anything will be granted to her except freedom with boys. It was as if he was afraid that he would be judged wrong for raising his child as a single parent, so he restricted her too much. At the age of seventeen, she was the only person she knew who had never dated. His father is ultra conservative and she is an obedient daughter normally.

But this is not a normal circumstance. Jungkook will be leaving in August, but she won't get another chance to play dress-up so that the man will notice her after that party. Her plan is complete. "I will just die if I don't get into this party." Then she thought of making a deal with her best friend. "Hubby, please, when you get me an invitation, I will be your slave for a day and then, I will treat you every lunch break for one week."

Rosé swallowed two mouthfuls of ice cream in a row before wincing. "Wait. Brain freeze." It makes her wonder if it was the ice cream that caused her sudden headache or her best friend in front of her. "Okay, Okay. I will do it wifey. I'll get you an invitation but you'll be my slave for two days and you'll treat me for two weeks. And most of all, if you get caught, I have nothing to do with what happened."

She smiled raising her left hand. "Girl Scout's Honor."

"Gosh! Wifey, you're such a sucker. Actually, I would have done it for nothing." Her best friend said.

"Oh, that." She shrugged. "That's okay. If you asked for a month, I would still agree, plus I would have thrown in my bracelet that you've been wanting for a long time. But then-"

Jennie couldn't finish what she was going to say when she felt the hit of the table napkin that Rosé threw at her.
