You're My Perfect (Jenlisa) COMPLETED

Chapter 60

"Jennie, honey, your daddy and I are going away for a few days," Jennie hears her mom's voice and glances in the general direction, not sure what her mom means. Why are they going away? "We'll be back home on Sunday night, okay?"

"Mommy." Jennie mumbles, not sure how to get the words out. She really tries her hardest to talk, it's just confusing and the words all get jumbled up in her head, "no, mommy."

Haejin laughs a little, and Jennie toddles over to her mother, watching with fascination as her mom packs up a backpack with enough clothes for the weekend. "We're dropping you off at your aunt's for the weekend. She'll look after you and Jihoon and Ella while your dad and I are celebrating our anniversary."

"No," Jennie shakes her head and stares up at her mom with wide eyes, because she really doesn't want to stay with her aunt for the weekend. Her aunt is scary and mean and she doesn't want to stay there. "No, mommy. No 'tay."

Haejin smiles at her. "I know you'll miss me and your daddy a lot, but you can't stay here by yourself. Who'd do all the cooking?"

Jennie stares up at her. "gandma!"

"Your grandma's busy this weekend," Haejin says, zipping up the backpack, "but your aunt offered, so you can stay with her. She has two guest rooms, so you and Jihoon will have a room each, and baby Ella will go in with her."

"No," Jennie whines and rocks herself on her heels, "want 'gandma."

"Jennie," Haejin lets out an exasperated sigh, "don't ruin mine and your father's weekend. Don't be whiney about this. You're staying at your aunt's for the next few days and that's final."

Jennie tugs at her shirt, because she's frustrated and feels really closed in, and she decides that she's mad at her mom, so she's not going to talk to her for the rest of the night. Maybe that way, she won't leave her with her aunt, because her aunt is scary.

Jennie wails when her mom picks her up, because she absolutely hates it when she does that, but she always does it anyway. She doesn't like being grabbed, so she wriggles to get away, and when she's finally free, toddles back into her room and gets her Nala, cuddling up to her.

"Jennie, don't be difficult," Haejin sighs, "we need to set off."

"No," Jennie shakes her head, because she wants to stay with her grandma. Not her aunt. Her aunt is scary. "No."

Haejin huffs and pulls Nala from her arms, and Jennie whimpers, because she needs her Nala. Nala makes her feel safe. "Come on, we're going. You'll get Nala back if you get in the car without a fuss."

Jennie jumps up, because she wants her Nala back, and follows Haejin into the hallway. She lets her mom put her shoes on her, and follows her out to the car, letting her strap her in. She's quiet on the way to her aunt's, and her mom lets her have Nala to cuddle, and she really hopes that her parents will change their minds before leaving her.

When they get to her aunt's house, Jennie notices that she stares at her funny, but she doesn't know what it means. She forgets about it when her mom shows her to the guest room as her dad goes into her aunt's room to get Ella's travel cot set up, and it has a huge bed that's almost the same size as her parents'.

She really doesn't want to stay here, but that bed looks really comfy.

"I want you to be good for your aunt, Jennie," Haejin tells her, "no being fussy. If she tells you to do something, no fussing. I've told her about a few of your... quirks, but I don't want you causing any unnecessary trouble. Okay?"
