You're My Perfect (Jenlisa) COMPLETED

Chapter 4

When she hears three consecutive knocks on her front door, Lisa practically dives down the stairs to stop her mother from answering it before her.

She unlocks the door and opens it, surprised when she sees Jennie stood on the doorstep by herself. Apparently, she hasn't even noticed that Lisa has opened the door; she's too busy staring at the potted plants on the porch.

"Jennie?"

Jennie blinks and looks up in surprise, but it isn't long before she looks back down at the floor.

"Hello."

It comes out more like 'hallo' and Lisa has to stop herself from smiling. So. Adorable.

"Aren't you coming with the rest of the girls? Jisoo told me that she's giving Rosé and Irene a ride here at six."

Lisa glances over at the clock - it's just past five, which means that Jennie has arrived an hour earlier than she was supposed to.

"No."

Jennie shakes her head as Lisa ushers her inside.

"They're not here with me now. My mom dropped me off after she picked up Ella from soccer practice."

Lisa thinks that Jennie just assumes she knows who Ella is. Jennie seems to assume she knows a lot.

"Oh, okay. Well, you're a little bit early."

Jennie blinks. "I am?"

"Yes. I said to come at six." Lisa reminds her. "It's five minutes past five."

"Oh." Jennie frowns to herself, and turns on her heel as if she's about to leave. "Okay. Sorry. I will go for a walk and come back at six."

"No - Jennie." Lisa grabs her arm and pulls her back immediately noticing the way Jennie seems to tense up.

"I don't want you to leave. Stay here?"

"Yes." Jennie nods, and sits down on the stairs. She unties the laces of her shoes before she pulls them off, and then stacks one on top of the other by the front door.

"I'm staying."

Lisa smiles. "Good. Do you want to meet my parents now and get it out of the way?"

Jennie's feline eyes widen and she shakes her head quickly.

"No. I don't like new people. They look at me funny."

"They won't look at you funny, Jennie."

Lisa assures her. She sits down next to Jennie on the stairs and sends her a warm smile.

"My parents are nice. I promise. And I can bet you now that my little sister will love you."

"I have a little sister." Jennie looks up at the ceiling. "And a little brother. Jihoon and Ella. I love them a lot."

Lisa nods. "That's cool. My little sister is called Sam, And my- "

"Sweetheart!"

Lisa hears her mother's voice call out, and footsteps coming from the lounge.

"Who was at the door?"

"Oh, uh," Lisa flashes her mother a nervous smile as she comes to a stop in front of them. She would be a little more worried about her parents' opinion of Jennie if she hadn't already explained how she was to them. Of course, there's the first week she spent ranting about how rude Jennie supposedly was, and Lisa was kind of hoping Lucy had forgotten about that.

"Mom, this is my friend Jennie. Jennie, this is my mom."

Jennie starts tapping her fingers against her thigh.
