Loved You First (Jenlisa) COMPLETED

29

The sun was up early and streaming through the window, but Jennie let herself sleep until seven.

Dara had opened up shop on what would be Flour Child's last day. Jennie had scheduled herself for eight, knowing she'd have to stay late into the night to finish the last of the packing. She had to hand over the keys to the bank the next day.

"Are you going to be okay?"

Lisa asked from the kitchen table where she nursed a cup of coffee in her jeans and T-shirt. She'd gotten up with Jennie and seemed to be lingering close for moral support. It was sweet.

Jennie attempted a smile, but it was weighted with sadness.

"It'll be a rough day. The roughest. But if I have you waiting for me, I'm going to get through this. I feel like I have a lot to look forward to and I have to concentrate on that."

"You do." Lisa held out her hand, and Jennie crossed the distance between them and allowed herself to be pulled into Lisa's lap. "So, there's a thing."

"A thing? You should probably elaborate."

"Rosie is moving to Daegu." Jennie raised an inquisitive eyebrow.

"We'll get to why later. But the point is, she's now planning to commute to Seoul. To me. So we could work together. But if I were to move to Daegu, that wouldn't exactly be necessary. I mean we'd still have to go into the city for meetings, and of course on location for shooting. But if our office home base was here-"

She didn't get to finish because Jennie's lips silenced her in a celebratory kiss.

"Yes," she said to Lisa when they came up for air. "That sounds like the best idea I've ever heard. Did you hear me say yes? 'Cause I can say it louder. Yes!" she called out loudly to the room as Lisa laughed.

"I can get an apartment or..."

Jennie took the leap. "Or you could move in with me."

A beat.

"Really?" Lisa asked in a hopeful voice. She also looked especially adorable.

Jennie looked down at her. "Uh-huh.. But if you're gonna move in, there'll have to be conditions."

Lisa grinned. "Conditions?"

"Oh yeah," Jennie said quite seriously. "You'll need to pull your share of the handiwork around this place."

"Which would be?"

"Well, all of it. While wearing jeans and a tank top. That's also a condition by the way, because there will be lots of objectification."

"I love it when you objectify me."

"And I'll need to interview this dog of yours, Love, is it?"

"Yeah. You will love him."

"No doubt. He's Love after all." Jennie sighed happily. "So it's settled. You, me, a dog, and a fish in the blue house."

"How can you beat it?"

"Who would even try?"

Jennie murmured as she went in for another kiss.

That's when Lisa's phone buzzed. She checked the readout and took the call.

"Hey, Jisoo. I'll be over in just a bit." She stared at Jennie questioningly. "Yeah, she's right here. What's up?"

Jennie watched Lisa curiously, finally tilting her head to the side in question. Lisa took her hand in reassurance and smiled.

"Okay, we can leave now."

"What?" Jennie asked as she hung up. "Is everything okay?"

"I think so. But Jisoo says we need to get over to Flour Child now."
