a/n: sorry for the wait, here's the update. listen to daniel caesar's Blessed  while reading this chapter btw boyfriend jennie no more uwu

Jennie moved her blindfold around, unable to contain her nervousness. She grinned as her girlfriend lead her through a crowd of people.

"Okay, we're here, you ready?" Lisa whispered. Jennie could hear the jazz music playing loudly and the people cheering as the piano tunes take over. Jennie nodded as Lisa took off her blindfolds and soon, her vision was replaced with big brown eyes she wanted to see for the rest of her life.

And it's surreal. It really is, you know that feeling when your eyes just feel so content looking at something so ethereal and everything else just blurs? Everything else just seems irrelevant. Her heart felt it. The rush. The feeling of adoration and affection and everything that adds up to love.

Jennie doesn't hand out the word 'love' often because it's a complex word. What even is love? It's affection and adoration and content and all these positive words combined. And yet it's sacrifice and pain and heartbreak and patience. It's just a feeling you can't explain. It's just a phenomenon you can't avoid.

But she was starting to understand and she was starting to feel it, atleast, again. It's that fuzzy feeling in your chest when that person is around. It's that madness inside your head when you think about them leaving you. It's that rum tum pum in your heart whenever she walks towards you. It's that smile plastered on your face when she tells you jokes that don't make sense. It's when you see her face and you want to spend the rest of your life with her.

And God, Lisa is love.

"Jen." Lisa giggled, snapping her finger in front of her entranced girlfriend.

"I'm sorry- you're entrancing. And- you're- I'm so lucky." Jennie sighed, smiling a little as she glanced at the ground. "You're amazing you know that?"

"I know." Lisa poked her tongue out as Jennie shoved her lightly. She examined the bar, a small colorful sign introduced it to her. 'Manobans'.

"I didn't know your parents owned a bar."

"That's because they don't. But my uncle does and he is a Manoban." Lisa smirked, holding Jennie's hand as she opened the door for her girl.

The bar was nice. A live band was now performing a song cover of Lady Gaga's Million Reasons and is actually doing a pretty great job. Jennie clapped her hand along the other visitors as the lead singer reached her high note.

"Welcome!" A man, around his 30s, greeted as he walked towards the couple.

"Hey uncle!"
"Lisa!" The two Manobans shared a short embrace, before pulling away to offer each other smiles.

"This must be Jennie, hi sweetheart."

"Annyeong!" Jennie was taken by surprise by how friendly and touchy this man was being. He hugged Jennie with every inch of energy he had left in him.

"Um- yeah, we came here for the food and because Daniel is here." Lisa explained and the man immediately formed a huge smile, which Lisa reciprocated.

Jennie noticed it was more of the popular Manoban smirk than it is a smile though. She looked hesitantly at the pair, confused on what on earth was going on.

"Just trust me babe, it'll be fun." And to be honest, it could be the worst date in the whole universe but the way Lisa carried her hand and lifted it to kiss it up, Jennie just didn't care.

She was fucked.

They ate their food in peace, both enjoying the good music and their peaceful surrounding. The food was normal pub food but it was beyond delicious.
