Eight Years Earlier...

"Ugh! That woman is relentless!" Jennie groaned as she came bursting through the door of her tiny apartment. She had told her girlfriend to make herself at home knowing her meeting with her mother would probably last longer than desired.

"I'm assuming it didn't go well?" Doyeon replied in amusement as she pushed herself up off of the couch. She had been reading one of Jennie's million novels that were scattered throughout the apartment. The books needed an entire apartment of their own if Doyeon had anything to say about it.

The brunette's shoulders sagged in defeat as she waited for her girlfriend to approach her. The other brunette wrapped her arms around her neck and gave her a peck on the lips. Jennie sighed from the contact; a small smile gracing her lips.

"What happened?"

The small smile that was on her face was now gone. "She keeps pushing it!" Jennie exclaimed as she pulled herself away from Doyeon and toward the kitchen. She reached into the cupboard and started to fill a glass of water.

The brunette followed her into the kitchen. "She just wants what's best for you."

Jennie spun around and stared incredulously at her significant other. "Are you seriously defending her right now?"

"No- Well, maybe," Jennie let out a laugh in disbelief before Doyeon continued. "It doesn't mean it actually is what's best for you though!"

"I am not going into the family business! I didn't even finish college! I'm not qualified for that bullshit! Besides, I'm like five seconds away from leaving Churim behind all together."

Doyeon frowned. "Really?" her voice came out softer than Jennie expected. "You hate it here that much?"

The brunette's eyes widened; her mouth hanging ajar. She then took a deep breath, placed the glass of water on the counter and walked over to the blonde. She placed her hands gingerly on the woman's hips. "That's not what I meant," she answered gently.

"I like it here," Doyeon defended sadly.

Jennie chuckled. "Yeah, well, you didn't grow up here."

"If I did, maybe you'd like it here more," Doyeon suggested with a kind smile.

"I don't know about that. You'd probably hate me. I was kind of a huge dick growing up," Jennie answered in amusement.

Doyeon grinned. "You didn't really grow out of that."

"Hey!"

The brunette leaned in and kissed her slowly before pulling only an inch or two away. "Move in with me."

Jennie leaned back with wide eyes. "What?"

Doyeon looked around the apartment quickly before settling her eyes back on Jennie. "Your apartment is way too tiny. Your books need a bedroom of their own. And I want to wake up next to you every day."

Jennie smirked. "Like you don't already do that."

The brunette glared slightly before smiling again. "Move in with me."

"That's pretty demanding, Miss," Jennie grinned as her eyes watched the brunette's lips.

"I know you hate Churim, but maybe I can help you see the good here," Doyeon urged.

The brunette's smile softened. Her eyes locked with her girlfriend's sincere eyes. "You've already been doing that."

Doyeon then began to smile. "Sooooo...?"
