The soft afternoon light filtered through the slightly opened curtains, casting a warm glow over the cozy living room. Jisoo leaned back on the couch, her phone resting in her hands as she scrolled through TikTok with a half-smile tugging at her lips. Her eyes flickered from one video to the next, pausing at the more amusing or oddly charming clips. Meanwhile, Jennie sat on the other end of the couch, her posture tense and focused as she typed away on her laptop. The rhythmic clicking of keys filled the air, a steady undercurrent to the quiet hum of their home.

Jisoo glanced up briefly at her girlfriend. Jennie was always this way when she was working, absorbed, almost in a different world, completely unaware of Jisoo's occasional playful attempts to distract her. A small, affectionate smile crept onto Jisoo's face as she watched Jennie furrow her brow in concentration, her jaw setting in determination. Jisoo could never stay mad at her, no matter how much Jennie ignored her when she wanted attention.

The room was filled with the kind of warmth only familiarity could provide. Their apartment was a shared space, one they had made their own, books stacked on the side table, comfortable blankets draped over the couch, a wall of framed photos that chronicled everything from their first coffee together to the goofy selfies taken on vacation in Jeju and a soft hum of background music from the speaker in the corner. It was their little haven, a place where they could be completely themselves, where they could curl up and relax after the world outside became too loud.

Jisoo let her fingers tap against the armrest, her thoughts drifting back to the TikTok video. Jisoo's fingers swiped over the screen, watching a new set of clips where couples engaged in the trend, girls coaxing their partners into a kiss, capturing their reactions as the other person melted into the moment. Some of the videos showed immediate warm responses, while others featured playful hesitation or unexpected surprises. Jisoo couldn't help but giggle at the sheer cuteness of it all. The trend wasn't just sweet, it was honest, genuine, and beautifully simple.

The idea of surprising Jennie in the same way felt almost absurd, but the thought of testing her curiosity was irresistible. Would Jennie melt into a kiss as effortlessly as those girls in the videos, or would she remain the composed, in-control person she always was? Jisoo smirked, her attention fully on her girlfriend now. She was about to find out.

Jisoo tilted her chin up, a slow, almost mischievous grin forming on her lips as she replayed the TikTok video in her mind. The thought of surprising Jennie in the same way was like a game she hadn't considered playing before, and the idea was beginning to take hold. She had to admit, it was far more tempting than she had anticipated. After all, Jennie wasn't the kind of person who let herself be easily caught off guard, she was always poised, always thinking a few steps ahead. That only made the challenge more appealing.

She stole a glance at Jennie again, watching as her fingers moved just as quickly over her laptop keyboard. How could someone be so effortlessly absorbed in their work? Jisoo had seen Jennie in situations where she could have been distracted, meetings, phone calls, even casual conversations, but she always stayed focused. It was admirable, but it also meant that if Jisoo wanted to pull off this little experiment, she would have to be strategic.

Her thoughts quickly spiraled into possibilities, how to get Jennie's attention without drawing suspicion, how to time it just right, how to make sure she caught the exact moment of surprise, if it happened at all. She chewed the inside of her cheek, considering the different ways she could go about it. Maybe a casual question, a half-smile, a hesitant pause before leaning in for a kiss. Would Jennie even react? Would she let her emotions take over, or would she remain composed, her usual self? So many questions, all swirling in her mind like a storm of curiosity and anticipation.

Jisoo exhaled, her fingers idly tapping against her phone screen. The idea was growing in her mind, becoming something real. She wouldn't be able to let it go now.
