Coming Back To You | JENSOO [18+]

Chapter Eighteen: Moving Day II

April showers bringing May flowers was a myth in Geoje. Jennie sat in sunglasses on the patio waiting for her food. She could feel the sweat collecting on her back, and she was miserable from the current heat wave.

It was the 8th of April, and she was only 17 weeks pregnant. How the hell would she get through the summer months if she was overheating now?

"Have you two talked about marriage?" Jennie choked on her water when she registered Wendy's question. "I take that as a no."

"I haven't even thought about it since college. So no, we haven't talked about it. Have you and Donghyuk Oppa?" Jennie let the sassy attempt to get the attention off of her situation slip from her lips.

"Of course we have, but don't change the subject." Wendy was persistent, and Jennie was ill prepared for the attack.

"Why does it matter?" Jennie asked.

"You're moving in together, you're already pregnant again with not one but two babies, and your relationship is much more stable this time around. It seems like the next step would be marriage. You're not like the rest of us, you have always wanted to get married."

Jennie sat back contemplating her friends words. She watched Wendy calmly finish feeding the baby in her arms, and smiled knowing she would be doing the same in a few months.

"I'll ask her about it after the babies are here. By then we will have a more established commitment."

Wendy laughed loudly, "Have you not seen the house she just purchased. It screams commitment, and more permanence than she's ever displayed before. You and I both know Jisoo never wanted a house, or to set roots down in one place. Yet, here she is ensuring security for her family, and setting roots down left and right. She bought a minivan for the safety of the babies last week. Are you hearing me? Jisoo bought a minivan."

"I'm right in front of you, I can hear you just fine. She just wants to make sure the babies are always safe. I told her we were fine with what we have, but you know how protective she is."

"That's not the only reason, and you know it." Jennie rolled her eyes at the statement. "Look she wants a real family with you, and I'm sure that includes marriage. You'll have to talk to her about it if you want it too. We both know the pace of your relationship is dictated by you."

"It's too soon for that," Jennie protested.

"Nobody is saying to get married tomorrow. It's good to talk about it so she knows where you stand. She will never ask if she's not absolutely sure it's what you want. We both know you'll be ready within a year."

"We won't have time with the babies."

"Please all you have is time, engagements can last for years. It's just a reassurance to her that you're just as committed as she is."

"Did she say something?" Jennie was worried, it really did feel too soon to talk about marriage.

"No, but Donghyuk and I only waited this long because he wanted Jisoo at our wedding. We were talking about how ready we both were especially now that Ryujin is here, and it got me thinking. I have never known two people more in love than you and Jisoo. I was against you giving her a second chance, but now..." Wendy trailed off setting the sleeping baby into her car seat. She sat back, but never continued speaking.

"Now what?" Jennie asked unable to hold herself back. She needed to know where Wendy was going with this.

"I have watched her dote on you and Jisu as if the sun shines out your asses since she came back in August."

"Charming," Jennie interrupted rolling her eyes.

"She's not the same girl that left you. She's not even the same girl we grew up with. She loves you with a passion that I've never seen before, and I have no doubts that she won't ever leave. So why the hell not plan a future with the mother of your children? She's done so much reassuring that she won't leave again, and that she loves you. Maybe it's time to reassure her that you truly forgive her."
