You're My Perfect (Jenlisa) COMPLETED

Chapter 13

"I don't want to do that."

Lisa huffs. "Why not?"

"I'm not good at it." Jennie glances at her from over the top of her book and shrugs. "I want to stay here and read my book."

"Jen," Jisoo sits down on the lounge chair Jennie is sat on, "come in the pool. Please? Just for a few minutes?"

"I don't want to," Jennie doesn't look up from her book this time. "I'm not a very good swimmer."

"You have a pool in your back yard. You have plenty of time to practice." Lisa points out, perching on the other side of Jennie's lounge chair. "Just five minutes. Irene didn't want to come in either, but now she's having loads of fun."

Jennie looks over her book at Irene, who is chasing Rosé around the pool.

"I want to read my book. I don't like swimming because I'm not good at it."

"You don't have to be good at it to have fun with us, Jendeukie," Jisoo rolls her eyes, "besides, I'm sure we can find some armbands somewhere if you're that worried about drowning."

"Leave me alone," Jennie turns over a page in her book, "I don't want to swim. I want to read my book."

"You're so boring sometimes, Jendeuk," Jisoo replies with an overdramatic huff, "but fine. Whatever. Lisa and I will go and have fun. Bye."

With that, Jisoo walks back towards the pool and jumps in, making sure to splash Irene and Rosé as much as she can. Lisa, however, stays with Jennie and gently touches a hand to her girlfriend's leg.

"Are you sure you don't want to swim, Nini?"

"Uh-huh," Jennie hums and picks up her phone, plugging her earphones in. "I want to read my book. But I'm not boring, Jisoo is lying, I'm lots of fun to spend time with. I just want to read right now."

"I know you're not boring, Nini," Lisa laughs, "I've hung out with you plenty of times, like on our dates. The girls just don't want you to feel left out."

"But I don't," Jennie finally puts her book down and glances up at Lisa, but the younger girl doesn't get to see her eyes, as they're hidden behind her sunglasses. "I like reading. Maybe when I've finished I'll come in and play with you guys. But I don't feel left out."

"Okay, as long as you're sure." Lisa pauses for a second before tugging on the sleeve of Jennie's black sweater. "Aren't you hot in this? I'm too hot and I'm only in my bikini."

Jennie looks Lisa over with flushed cheeks and then shakes her head. "Um, I like wearing sweaters. They're nice and cuddly and I love it when they're big on me."

"You didn't answer my question," Lisa points out with a small smile, "I've noticed that you do that sometimes. I ask you a question and you ramble about something else."

"Oh, um... I'm sorry," Jennie apologises and starts fiddling with the sleeve of her sweater. "I don't mean to do it."

"I didn't say it was a bad thing, Nini," Lisa replies, "I was just making an observation. I think it's cute."

"You think I'm cute?" Jennie repeats with a small smile. "Why? Is it because you're my Lili?"

"I guess it's partially because of that, but mostly you're just adorable and anyone with eyes can see it," Lisa shrugs, not sure if Jennie took her compliment in the right way. "But yeah, aren't you too hot in that big sweater?"

"A little," Jennie plays with the hem of her sweater and sends Lisa a shy smile, "I don't want to take it off, though. This is my favourite sweater. I love it."
