Gemini (Jenlisa)

Chapter 12

*Flashback*

Twinkle, twinkle little star...

Jennie's mom smiles as she watch her six years old daughter, so young and so innocent with her little hands raise up to the starts, singing happily to the night sky.

How I wonder what you are...

She and her husband might not have the kind of life that people might dream of. But whenever they look at their two children, they know that what they have is so much better than what people are slaving their whole lives for.

She plants a soft kiss on her Jennie's forehead. The girl was sitting on her lap as they spend the night on their backyard.

"Do you know that most of the starts have names?"

"Really? Like Jennie?" Jennie stares back at her, with those cat eyes in wonder.

She chuckles at her daughter's naivety... "No sweetheart, like they're name after Gods."

"Jesus Christ?"

"No..." realizing that her 6 years old daughter might not fully understand what she's saying, she decided to stop. "No... I'll explain it to you when you get a bit older. But out of all the stars, my favorite one is Gemini."

"Gemini?"

"Yes, its means twins... And there is a story behind it."

Jennie scoot comfortably in her mom's lap eager to listen to her mom's story.

"They're about twin brothers who love each other very much. So when one of the brothers went to heaven, his other brother became very sad."

"I'll be sad too..." Jennie's eyes were quickly filled with sadness.

"But he never gave up so he asks God if he could stay with his brother. And because he was a very good boy, God listen to him and now they're together always in heaven."

She smiles when she sees her daughter forehead all scrunch up deep in thought.

"Maybe you and your Jin Oppa will be like that."

"No" Jennie shakes her head.

"No?" her mother asks surprisingly.

"No... Me and Lisha Unnie" Jennie smiled happily at the thought of her bestfriend. "If she leaves, I'll be very sad. But I'll be a good girl so if someone takes her away from me, when I pray, Jesus will say yes and give unnie back at me. And we'll be together for a long time."

Jennie's mother had mistaken her answer for friendship and loyalty with Lisa. How would she know that at six years old, it was her daughter's way of telling her that Lisa is the one that she's going to love forever?

Jennie closes on the door behind her, with their kisses constantly playing on her mind.

"What is going on, Jennie?"

The stern voice of her mother was enough to jolt Jennie's daydream back into reality.

"Mama?"

Jennie's mom starts shaking her furiously, refusing to believe that her daughter had turned into this.

"What is happening Jennie? What is going on between you and Lisa?! Is she forcing you to do this???"

Jennie was left stammering and her mom ends up shaking her more, hoping that at the same time she could shake some sense on her daughter too.
