You're My Perfect (Jenlisa) COMPLETED

Chapter 70

When Jennie sits up and rubs at her eyes, the first thing she notices is Kuma cuddled up on her bed next to her. She smiles, because she loves cuddling Kuma, even though he's not really supposed to be on her bed - she has a little makeshift basket for him by the side of her bed - but she's not going to tell him off. It's her dad's rule anyway, so she'll just put him on the floor if she hears someone coming up the stairs.

She reaches over and pets her puppy, smiling to herself. "Morning, Kuku. I'm nineteen today."

Kuma wags his tail, and Jennie beams, because she thinks Kuma understands her. He's really smart, just like her, and she's taught him loads of tricks.

After a few moments of stroking Kuma's fur, she hears footsteps coming up the stairs and puts him back on his makeshift basket, sending her mom an innocent smile when she walks into the room with a tray.

"Hi, mom," Jennie greets her, sitting up. "Kuku knows it's my birthday, he's really smart."

"Happy birthday, sweetheart," Haejin smiles at her, passing her the tray. "Your dad made breakfast for you, bacon and eggs just how you like them. You'll find a card there, too."

Jennie frowns, and tucked under her plate is a small envelope. "Is this my birthday present from you?"

"No," Haejin shakes her head, "your cards and presents are in the lounge. This is something from Lisa. She told me to give it to you when she left this morning."

Jennie blinks in surprise, and when she looks around, she realizes that Lisa isn't here, but she'd stayed over last night.

"Why'd she leave? Did she forget it's my birthday? I-I wanted to spend time with her today, why would she leave?"

"The card will explain that," Haejin smiles, "I think you'll enjoy what she has planned."

Jennie digs her finger under the opening and slides the card out. As she reads the quick note, she frowns even more.

Happy birthday, Nini!

You're probably wondering why I'm not waking you up with my annoyingly bad jokes today, and that's because you're going on a little scavenger hunt for your present. There's six more clues for you to find at different locations across Seoul, and the last one will lead you to me.

Here's your clue - Back before we were dating, which place did you get the courage to ask me out?

(Don't worry the clues aren't weird and figurative because I literally would be at the last location for a decade.)

Anyway, good luck!

Love, Lisa.

"But..." Jennie frowns. "She got it wrong. Because I asked her out here. After I got my wisdom teeth out."

"I think she meant something different," Haejin sends her a teasing smile, "when did you start liking her?"

"After her first few weeks at school." Jennie answers, before her eyes widen and she smiles to herself. "School! I tried asking her to homecoming but we got interrupted, and I did that on the way to music class, but school is closed now because it's summer, so it can't be that."

"Maybe someone is waiting outside." Haejin hints. "Let me know when you finish your breakfast and I'll drive you there."

Jennie frowns to herself, but pulls herself out of bed and heads over to her closet. She gets out of her Simba onesie and changes into a sweater and jeans, not bothering to brush her hair. She finishes the breakfast her dad made her, and then heads downstairs, Kuma following at her heels.
