Today I Met The Girl I'm Going To Marry | jensoo

Chapter 28

Oh my...

I can't...

This is...

Of all the...

My eyes blink furiously as they stay fixated on that sign.

Am I really about to go to prom?

The prom I dreamed about going to when I was a teenager.

The prom I never got to experience.

The prom that is forever tied to a memory that I can't shake.

It's just too much for my mind to digest.

A rush of emotions hit at me at once and I can feel my eyes pool with unshed tears.

Jennie has done what no one else that I've met has been able to do.

She had rendered me speechless.

I have no words.

None.

I think I gasped when I read the banner but I'm not sure. I'm so overwhelmed and blown away that I'm having a really hard time forming any kind of coherent thoughts.

I open my mouth but nothing comes out.

I try a few times with no success.

My body won't stop shaking.

I can't believe this.

I can't believe her.

She's still standing behind me and she hasn't said a word either.

She's probably letting me soak it all in.

None of this seems real.

My heart is beating so fast.

So incredibly fast.

For Jennie and for what I think she's done.

Maybe I'm wrong.

I don't even know what to think really.

"You're awfully quiet over there." Jennie says, finally breaking the silence that's hung over us since she removed my blindfold.

I want to turn around, I do, but my body doesn't seem able to function.

I know I should say something, anything, but I'm still in such a daze.

"Are you ok?" Jennie asks after a few more minutes of silence from me.

Am I ok?

Am I ok?

God, ok doesn't even come close to describing what I am right now.

"Jisoo?" Jennie's voice filters through the haze of emotions I'm feeling.

And it's enough to make me snap back to reality.

I turn around and when my eyes connect with hers, with her eyes that look full of concern, my unshed tears begin to fall.

They fall quietly.

They fall steadily.

Because of Jennie.

I thought I realized how much I missed her this past week but I was wrong.

Those eyes.

Her eyes.

They reach deep down inside of me.

Into my heart.

Into my heart that seems to now beat only for her.
