Don't want to leave you anymore|

"Where are you going this time?" Chaeyoung asked as she comes home to Jisoo packing her suitcase again
Chaeyoung was trying hard to not let Jisoo hear the disappointment in her voice, her wife had just came home a few days ago from a business trip. Jisoo has been going on business trips a lot ever since she got promoted.
She was trying really hard to understand that this is work but Chaeyoung missed her.
It feels like Jisoo is slipping away from her.
"There was a problem with the accounts in New York - I need to be there"
"Oh. How long will you be gone?"
"Two weeks" Jisoo said, looking more pissed than guilty -
Chaeyoung bit her tongue - Jisoo doesn't seem to remember that next week marks there 6th anniversary.
"Oh. Safe travels?" Chaeyoung's mind was blanking, she was hurting and her wife didn't seem to notice
Oh, but Jisoo did notice.
And she hated herself with every moment of it.
"I promise I'll be back early if I can" she says and kissed Chaeyoung on the forehead and lugs her suitcase outside and the door shutting behind her
She walked to the elevator, her heart heavy with guilt and regret and she stopped dead in her tracks - she forgot to say I love you
So Jisoo went back but she stopped dead in her tracks when she hears her wife crying from the bedroom
Her phone vibrating on her jacket pocket - it was probably her ride informing her that he's already waiting.
Jisoo walked away and went back outside, quietly.
...
Jisoo was walking the streets of New York, work keeping her busy and occupied.
Her train of thought from work was only cut short when she bumped into someone and that someone being her old friend, "Lisa Manoban, as I live and breath you still look gorgeous"
"Take it easy, Kim. We're both married" Lisa says and they both laugh
"What the hell are you doing here?" Lisa asks
"Something with the accounts - it's a long story" Jisoo sighs, "I didn't know you're still in New York"
"Yeah permanently - Jennie liked it here"
Jisoo rolls her eyes, "of course she does - she's Jennie"
"I was kinda banking that she'll love LA more but it turns out the whole concrete jungle was her vibe" Lisa chuckles, "but what I meant was what are you doing here isn't your anniversary tomorrow?"
That unnerved something in Jisoo - fuck
"You okay?" Lisa asked as Jisoo suddenly turned pale, "You forgot didn't you?" and Lisa laughs, "Don't worry that happens"
Everything stops on Jisoo's brain - and a plan forms. "Hey do tell, does Jenjen still have connections to the airline?"
Lisa looks at her puzzled but smiles, "Yeah but it's gonna cost you"
Jisoo smirks, "Give me your worse"
...
Chaeyoung is walking back to their apartment - yesterday was their anniversary and she didn't have the stomach to celebrate. She just went to work - as she unlocks their apartment door she recognized her wife's shoes neatly placed on the shoe rack
"Is she back already?" she mutters to herself. Chaeyoung knew there was no way she was getting robbed because they were in a highly safe neighborhood - some of the more positive things that Jisoo's job brought them.
When she turns to look at the bedroom she sees her wife packing another suitcase
"You're back?" Chaeyoung asks, confused and quite hurt knowing that she would leave again.
"Yeah" Jisoo answers shortly without looking at Chaeyoung
There was a short silence that followed
Jisoo broke the silence, "Happy anniversary" she said quietly and Chaeyoung felt like crying
She's angry and disappointed - it felt like she didn't matter anymore. Was this the end of everything they worked so hard for?
But when Jisoo turns she's smiling - a small like settled on her lips. It was the first time in a long time Chaeyoung have seen her smile - she was always stressed with work and was either that or pissed at someone
"I'm leaving again but this time you're coming with me" Jisoo says as she reaches out for her wife who is now crying.
"Car's outside" Jisoo smiles.
...
"Perks of working my ass out every fucking day of every month is we're comfortable enough to just leave anytime we want to" Jisoo chuckles
The two went to Europe and made their way to a beautiful island just of the coast of Italy - Chaeyoung had almost choked to death on her wine when she finds out that Jisoo bought the place.
"Just how much exactly did you make all those time?"
Jisoo just laughed, "We're comfortable"
"That's exactly what a super rich person would say" Chaeyoung says
Later that night Chaeyoung finds a black box sitting on the bed while Jisoo is out to "catch dinner"
It was ring - kinda like their first ring but this time Chaeyoung knew it was more expensive and there was a letter inside the box
I could buy a thousand rings and promise to love you forever. I'm sorry for being away for so long but I learned that all of those city lights can never shine as bright as your eyes.
I love you

A/N: and here's something to cheer y'all up. I've been going to a bad case of writer's block and my laziness is not helping but little steps.
Enjoy reading and I hope everyone is doing well.
