Her Innocence (jensoo)

Chapter 38: Oh brother

JENNIE'S POV

Shit!
Omg! I said a bad word. Forgive me Jesus.
Tsk.
After my untimely confession to Jisoo I am now hiding from her. I immediately run towards my sanctuary leaving a stunned Jisoo in our room.

I am scolding myself on the way to my hide out. Jennie why are you so dumb? You don't need to runaway! It is No big deal! If she don't say it back it is okay! Made Jisoo fall in Love with you! Easy peasy! It is not that easy okay? Are you aware what we look like? We look like a potato!

I look like a lunatic right now. Arguing with myself. I am always arguing with myself so there is nothing new. I reach my cabin and plop myself on the sofa.

What should I do? Just this morning I am so excited to tell her that I love her but now I am afraid that she will reject me. I mean I am used to rejection but I don't know why my heart hurts whenever I think about Jisoo rejecting, me.

I bury my head in one of the pillows and scream my frustrations. I remove my glasses first because I don't want to damage them.

I heard a sound coming from the outside and I saw a shadow lingering outside the cabin. It is Jisoo I am sure. It sounds creepy but I know her silhouette. I shouldn't hide here like a coward. I went out of the cabin and approached Jisoo. I saw her leaning on one of the trees legs crossed, arms inside her suit pants and she was looking at the various rocks and leaves on the forest floor.When she heard my foot scrunching the dry leaves She immediately looked up and straightened her posture immediately.

I walk towards her and grab her hands. I guide her back to our room. On the way back she did not say anything or question where I was dragging her.

We reach our room and let her sit on our bed. I made sure that I lock on our door. I don't want anyone disturbing our conversation.

I removed my shoes and sat on the bed facing her I crossed my legs to be comfortable because I know this conversation will be a long one.

She started to talk but I raised my hand to stop her.

"I'll talk then you'll listen. Okay?"

She nodded.

"You heard me right. I LOVE YOU."

I heard her gasp as if this is the first time she heard me say it.

"I just realized it recently. I know my declaration is anticlimactic. I did not prepare any gifts or events. You don't need to say it back of course. I understand if-"

Jisoo covered my lips with her hand to stop me from talking.

"I love you too."

Stunned.
First thing I thought.
Jisoo is crazy.
The next thing I thought she was just kidding. There is no way that she loves me back and after a few minutes she will just shout "you're punked!"

But I look into her alluring eyes and I can see the truth shining in them. And then the water work starts.

"Ho-How can you love a person like like me. It doesn't make sense

Jisoo." I am not a pretty crier I legit have snot coming out of my nose immediately.

"You are not hard to Love Jennie." She wiped my tears falling from my eyes. She magically produced a box of kleenex and wiped my nose.

"There are so many women that are prettier, more intelligent and educated out there Jisoo. You don't need to settle with me."Why am I insulting myself? Jisoo disagreed by shaking her head. She grabbed my face with her hand and leaned her forehead to mine.
