I Fell In Love with a Nerd | Jenlisa

Chapter 19

The next morning, Lisa stood outside Rosé's condo unit, feeling a strange sense of calm. It was as if she had reverted to her old self—the one who knew nothing but the love she shared with Rosé.

But we all know that the love Lisa has for Jennie is constant.

When Rosé opened the door, she was met with a surprise—a soft kiss on the cheek from Lisa. It was a simple gesture, but one that hadn't been shared in what felt like forever.

Rosé's eyes widened in shock, her heart skipping a beat as she tried to process the moment. It was like a small piece of the past, a time when everything between them was easy and certain, had resurfaced.

"Are you ready to go?" Lisa asked with a bright smile, her voice carrying a lightness that Rosé hadn't heard in a while.

Still in a daze, Rosé could only nod, a shy smile creeping onto her lips. She didn't know how to react, but the warmth of Lisa's presence made her feel as though everything was falling back into place. Or at least, she wanted to believe that.

The drive to the church was wrapped in silence, but it wasn't uncomfortable. Instead, it was the kind of silence that spoke volumes—filled with unspoken words and a sense of quiet understanding.

As Lisa focused on the road, Rosé watched her, noticing how at ease she seemed, as if nothing had changed. But Rosé's hand instinctively reached for Lisa's, holding it gently as if to anchor herself in the moment.

Lisa glanced at her, a soft smile tugging at her lips. They exchanged a look—one that conveyed a thousand words neither of them dared to speak aloud.

When they arrived at the small, secluded church, it stood quietly against the backdrop of the morning sky, almost hidden from the world.

The simplicity of the church surprised Lisa, who had imagined something grander, more fitting for a wedding. But as they stepped inside, the serene atmosphere enveloped them.

Rosé walked ahead, her footsteps echoing softly in the empty space. As she moved forward, she began to speak, her voice filled with quiet wonder. "I heard from a parent of one of my students mention a small church," she said, her eyes scanning the humble interior.

"She said that there was a legend about this place... It says that every couple who marries here will never be apart. I searched on the web for a long time to find it."

Lisa, trailing slightly behind, roamed her eyes around the church. The smallness of the space was jarring to her expectations. "Wouldn't this church be too small?" she asked in a casual tone, though her voice held a hint of concern.

Rosé stopped in her tracks, turning around to face Lisa with a gentle smile. "I always thought I wanted a grand wedding in a grand church. But it doesn't matter anymore." She stepped closer to Lisa, her gaze unwavering. "I just want to get married to you...with grandma and Kuma as our witnesses. A simple wedding is all I need, as long as it's with you."

Guilt gnawed at Lisa's insides as she looked into Rosé's eyes. The sincerity, the love she saw there, made her feel even more undeserving. She stared at Rosé for a moment, her mind spinning with thoughts she couldn't articulate.

Rosé, sensing Lisa's hesitation, offered her a reassuring smile. She then spun gracefully, twirling like a ballerina in the middle of the aisle, her laughter echoing through the empty church. "As long as I'm looking at you," Rosé said, her voice filled with playful certainty, "I won't fall."

Lisa watched her, a mixture of admiration and guilt swirling in her chest. Rosé's innocence, her unwavering belief in their love, felt like a heavy weight on Lisa's shoulders.
