MMH(Jenlisa Adaptation)

Part 8

"So," Rosé began elongating the word. "You avoided me last night, how was the date?"

Lisa made a face, inclining her head towards Wo Jin who was piling his hot dog with a mountain of ketchup as Lisa waited for her own by the vendor. They had decided to take a stroll and found themselves midtown and starving finding street meat to be the most logical solution.

"What?" Rosé placed a hand on her hip. "The kid knows what a date is, right Wo Jin?"

"Mom was giddy all yesterday morning," the boy ratted her out earning himself a glare from his mother.

"Giddy?" Rosé repeated with a knowing smirk. "So at what time were you stumbling back home? Or was it the Walk of Shame?"

"What's the Walk of Shame?"

"Nothing." Lisa took her hot dog and distracted herself by pouring condiments on it before turning back towards her friend and whispering. "You know I don't do that on the first date."

"But it was good?" Rosé pressed.

Lisa couldn't contain the smile from forming on her face as she remembered the night she had spent in Jennie's company. "Yeah. It was really good."

"That good?" Jisoo said as soon as Jennie walked into the coffee shop where they had agreed to meet.

Jennie was a sight for sore eyes, that much was obvious, but nothing could deny the way she smiled and how she glowed this Sunday morning.

"I beg your pardon?" Jennie asked with a furrow of her brow though her smile remained on her face.

"Your date."

There was a glint in Jennie's eye as she offered a casual shrug before waiting in line to order her gourmet coffee.

"Do you see what taking a chance gets you?" Jisoo asked standing beside Jennie. "So how was it? Tell me all about it."

Jennie turned her head to look at her friend though her eyes were just a little bit distant as they recalled Friday evening. "She kissed me."

The blonde squealed grasping the older woman's arm. "That must have been a great date."

"No, it was when we were leaving for the restaurant."

"You kissed her at the beginning of the date?" Rosé gawked.

Wo Jin scrunched up his nose at the image. Sure, he loved his mom and was happy she was on a date with Jennie, but there were some things he didn't need to know. He made the decision to eat his hot dog on a different bench and made it a point to let his mom know.

"I didn't not want to at the end, and I figured we could get through the awkward fumblings then," Lisa defended.

"Couldn't resist, could you?"

"She's different," Lisa said after devouring the last bite of her hot dog and tossing the napkin into the trash from where they sat on the bench. "She's more than just some princess."

"She's been through a lot, and she's doing well by her son," Jennie said as they walked down the street with their coffees in hand, passing by a group of jazz street performers. "I underestimated her."

"Well when you first met me you thought I was an airhead heiress," Jisoo pointed out.

Jennie shrugged apologetically as she sipped her brew. "She has a way of getting information out of me."

"It was a date, Jennie. Not some interrogation. People reciprocate when they share personal stories."

"Do you exchange details about your family and upbringing on first dates?"
