Our Love (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Who you are

When Lisa, Jennie , and Jisoo returned to the living room, Seo Yeong was still sitting on the edge of the couch. The girls took their seats.

"Are you feeling better?"  She smiled at Lisa and asked Seo Yeong in a caring manner.

The blonde squeezed Jennie's hand tighter. The brunette's very presence soothed her, and her touch filled her with strength. Manobal had never felt so comfortable with anyone as she did with Jennie Kim. Of course, the girl realized that many feelings were now heightened due to falling in love and mutual attraction. Still, it was different with Jennie . They had been suited for each other from the very beginning, despite the chasm of differences between them. With no other person had Lisa felt such harmony. At times, it was so exciting that Lisa's breath caught, her heart ready to jump out of her chest from the feelings overwhelming it. When they touched each other with their fingertips, when Jennie whispered something into her lips between kisses, when their bodies intertwined in a tender embrace, it was as if an electric current went through Lisa's body. It was as if the girl was waking up from a long sleep. The world around her began to play with all the colors, emotions and sensations overwhelmed her. It was an incredible, amazing feeling. And even though it lasted sometimes for a short time, moments, it was real. Her reality.

"Yes," the blonde smiled back. "Thank you."

Seo Yeong bowed her head and looked straight into the green eyes.

"Lisa," she began, licking her lips as if preparing for a long speech. " I will not apologize for my, perhaps, excessive curiosity. I often overstep the bounds of propriety with my questions, and of course you may not answer questions that seem too personal to you. However, I believe you are interested in my approving you.

"Approved? I...," the student started to say, but Seo Yeong waved her hand sharply, stopping her. Lisa quickly closed her mouth and nodded, allowing Mrs. Kim to continue.

"It's true,"  she said softly. "That my opinion can influence my daughter's choices."

Jisoo snorted softly, a faint smile appearing on Jennie's lips. Seo Yeong only rolled her eyes and raised her voice slightly.

"But," the woman said firmly. "I will never deny Jennie the right to make her own choices. I hope you understand that. She's free to choose who she loves and who she dates, and I will support her as long as the person she chooses respects her, cares for her, and makes her truly happy. Her father and I have always wanted only the best for our daughter."

Lisa smiled, noticing the slight blush on Jennie's cheeks. She could almost physically feel the special bond between them, the love between mother and daughter. And though Manobal had never had anything like it in her life, she was genuinely happy for Jennie .

"Mom,"  the brunette said playfully, smiling.  "You make it sound like Lisa just proposed to me. It's just our first date."

Seo Yeong smiled at her and turned her attention back to the student.

" I'm sorry if my questions stirred up unpleasant memories. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm just trying to get to know you better."

Lisa nodded.

" Yeah, I understand. It's okay. You love Jennie so much and you're trying to protect her. It's nice to see that, and I respect you for it."

"Mmm," Seo Yeong said thoughtfully, noting the way Jennie squeezed Lisa's hand lightly in acknowledgement. The woman seemed to want to add something else, but instead she just shook her head and continued her questioning.

"So, dear," she said with a soft smile, turning to Lisa. "Shall we continue?"

"Guess I don't have a choice," the blonde smirked.
