You're My Perfect (Jenlisa) COMPLETED

Chapter 14

Jennie wiggles her fingers between Lisa's as she waits for the door in front of them to open, her heart pounding through her chest. While she knows she trusts Lisa, she's incredibly nervous for her to meet her art class friends, because she doesn't know if it'll go well. She's never faced this situation before and has no idea what to expect.

"Nini?" Lisa seems to sense her nerves, and Jennie hums in acknowledgement, her eyes looking over the patterns carved into the door in front of them. "Don't be nervous. All that's going to happen is I'm going to meet your friends."

"I don't know how it'll happen, though." Jennie tells her. "That's what makes me nervous. It's not you."

"I didn't think it was me," Lisa is quick to assure her, and Jennie's worry melts away. "I just want you to be comfortable, Nini. I can always go home if you're not ready for me to meet your art class friends."

"No, don't go," Jennie keeps a tight grip on her hand in case Lisa decides she's going to leave anyway. "Somi wants to meet you. And Jihyo and Nayeon, and I guess Nayeon's girlfriend Jeongyeon, but I don't know if she's here. Sometimes she doesn't come and hang out with us."

"Okay," Lisa nods as the door in front of them swings open, and her thumb traces patterns over Jennie's knuckles, probably in an effort to calm her down.

"Jen," Somi sends her a wide smile, and Jennie looks up for a moment to return it, before looking down at her shoes. "This must be Lisa? She's told me lots about you, actually - it's really cute. Come in!"

At the prompt, Jennie enters Somi's house, still holding onto Lisa's hand. She takes her shoes off and then looks up at Somi, pointing to Lisa. "Somi? This is Lili. She's my girlfriend."

"I know, Jen," Somi laughs, but Jennie doesn't know what's funny. "You told me she was coming with you the other day when you texted me. Nayeon and Jihyo are in the lounge if you want to introduce them to your girlfriend."

"Is Jeongyeon here?" Jennie asks as she grabs Lisa's hand again, tugging her towards Somi's lounge. "I want Lili to meet her too."

"Nope, she's not," Somi tells her, "but maybe you and Lisa can go on a double date with Nayeon and Jeongyeon. Then they can meet."

Jennie looks up at Lisa with hopeful eyes, because really, that's the best idea she's heard all week. "Yes! Lili, can we go on a double date with Nayeon and Jeongyeon?"

Lisa shrugs. "If you want, I guess."

"Okay," Jennie nods and sits down on the couch next to Nayeon, making sure that Lisa is next to her. Then, she kisses her girlfriend on the cheek and announces to the room, "This is Lisa, she's my girlfriend. Isn't she pretty?"

Lisa blushes, presumably at Jennie's compliment, as her friends greet her. Jennie tunes out a little bit as Jihyo takes Lisa into conversation, but smiles when she feels someone take hold of her free hand and she turns around to see Nayeon.

"Hi," Jennie lets go of Lisa's hand and holds her fist out for Nayeon to bump, their usual greeting, as Nayeon doesn't like hugs unless they're from Jeongyeon. "You weren't at art class on Wednesday. Why weren't you there?"

"I was with Jeongyeon." Nayeon replies and starts fiddling with Jennie's fingers. Jennie doesn't mind it, because she knows it's one of Nayeon's stims. "She asked me to skip. Would you skip if your Lisa asked you to?"

"No," Jennie shakes her head quickly, because art class is part of her usual routine and she doesn't want to ruin that. "I would never miss art class. Maybe one day Lisa can come with me to it, but she's not good at art. She drew that picture on my wall that's like a stick person with brown hair."
