Jennie was buzzing with excitement as she wrapped up her scene for the day. Her mind wasn’t on work anymore—it was on her upcoming date with Lisa. It was finally happening! She quickly dialled her mom’s number for some sisterly fashion advice, and, as expected, her little sister Ella was right there with her mom, ready to cause some mischief.

The video call connected, and Jennie smiled as she saw her mom and Ella in the frame.

Jennie:
“Hey, Mom! I’m going on a date tonight, and I need your help picking a dress!”

Ella:
“A date?!”

“Wait, wait—have you kissed yet? Or are you two still being boring?”

Jennie’s face turned bright red, and she immediately tried to change the topic.

Jennie:
“N-no, Ella! We haven’t—anyway, Mom! About the dress...”

But her mom wasn’t letting her off that easily.

Mrs. Kim:
“Oh, sweetheart, make sure you use protection when you... you know!”

Ella:
"Mom, they don't need protection"

They high five, clearly teasing her.

Jennie’s mouth dropped open, and her mind immediately went to thoughts of Lisa.

Doing IT.

Her face turned even redder, and she fumbled for words.

Jennie:
“MOM! Stop it!”

She laughed nervously, embarrassed beyond belief.

That dense and oblivious creature hasn't kissed me yet doing IT is too far. Jennie thought.

Ella:
“Sure, sure,” Ella smirked, clearly enjoying watching Jennie squirm.

Jennie quickly hung up after getting advice on her dress, trying to shake off her mom’s and Ella’s teasing.

Soon, Lisa arrived to pick her up, and as Jennie stepped out in her stunning black cocktail dress, Lisa’s reaction was priceless. She froze, putting a hand over her mouth as her eyes widened.

Lisa’s gaze lingered on Jennie like a moth drawn to a flame, and Jennie’s stomach flipped at the way Lisa was admiring her from head to toe.

It was one thing to dress up, but having Lisa look at her like that?

It was everything.

Then, without warning, Lisa swooped in, lifting Jennie from the waist and spinning her in the air. Jennie burst into joyful laughter, her hair flying as she looked down, catching Lisa’s eyes mid-twirl.

Jennie said laughing

“Lisa, what are you doing?!”

Lisa grinning

“You look too gorgeous not to spin around like a princess!”

When she finally put Jennie down, Jennie caught her breath and smiled.

“You are so attractive today.”

Lisa flashed a shy grin, and they made their way to the restaurant. Lisa was being the epitome of a gentlewoman—opening doors, pulling out chairs, and making sure Jennie was comfortable. Jennie couldn’t help but be impressed.

During dinner, the two bantered back and forth, with Jennie even wiping a bit of sauce off Lisa’s lips with a tissue. Lisa blushed, but Jennie did it so casually that it felt perfectly natural.

After dinner, they strolled along the street, the city lights twinkling around them. They were casually talking about something when Lisa complained like a kid.
