The Deal (Jenlisa x Chaennie Fanfic)

XVIII - Sinking Ship

The unbearable lunch took a whole and a little amount of chapter to endure, and this, is a continuation of the agony.

Bambam kept on playing Romeo to Juliet who's too upset to notice him flirting her. She turned down his touches politely and reminded him that she was still in a deal.

Of course, Lisa would be upset, she thought she's already friends with her wife who's silently taking time to rehuman. And is impossible because Romeo kept on triggering her heightened senses. Imagine how many internal gags and eye rolls she performed.

Jennie's internal crucifixion ended with a promise of another station of the cross. Bambam asked two whole days out with her wife and then he will not bother them for the rest of the deal, in which she approved of without hesitation.

'Why the fuck?' You might ask. If you think it did not undergo through thorough deliberations then, you are absolutely wrong. She thought about Lisa's welfare. The pressure she's getting from responsibilities she's not well accustomed to. And no matter how much she believed she got the upper-hand by being the legal wife, she cannot erase the fact that this handsome bastard is Lisa's legit boyfriend.

Lisa knew she needed this more than anything-a break from Jennie Kim. The more she's getting to know the real Jennie Kim behind those expressionless massive billboards and prestigious business magazine covers, the more her everything becomes a stranger to her. Guilty. She smiled at him and nodded at his brilliant idea but her eyes were looking past him, watching for the slightest glint of disapproval from her wife.

Why the hell then, if she knew that being with him is the right thing to do? That after this facade of a deal, the illusion of being close to Jennie Kim, she has a waiting reality with her everything. The reality they have promised until the end of time Jennie doesn't even have the energy to care because to her, she was just a deal. A very profitable deal.

Lisa thought they're back at it again with square one, and it's already chapter 18. Will they ever be ready to get their shits together before chapter 275? Why did I ever write this slow paced shit in the first place? Oh! I wrote this after binge reading the manhwa, Fluttering Feelings by Ssamba for the nth time. RIP. Always in my heart.

Well, enough of the author's note at the middle of writing this chapter, the lunch concluded with the power couple convincing themselves that they're making the right decision but their hearts saying otherwise.

------------------

Half the day passed by busy, dull, and slow. Both of them were trying to push this intangible feeling at the back of their minds by pouring all their energy at what they're doing, but it kept on resurfacing, fighting its way to be acknowledged.

Jennie worked excessive hours just because, while Lisa thought her wife was just being her normal President self. They didn't even have the time to see each other before they sleep and tomorrow morning will be the doom's day.

As usual, they took breakfast together. The then comfortable silence, just became plain silence; their mind wandering to no one knows where, taking different paths. Until the last minute of the everlasting breakfast came, Lisa, of all people, got the grip on reality.

"Is this really ok for you?" Lisa dejectedly asked her wife across the dining table.

Startled but moved on quick, Jennie looked directly at her wife's eyes with her own melancholic ones.

"I don't think your personal endeavors is in my best interest, Lisa." Jennie's words was too strong whilst saying it carefully.

Lisa got what she needed to go on with the plan so she stood up with a heavy heart and prepared herself for the retrieval of her broken spirit.

After 48 years,

Lisa with her prince charming and his modern carriage were now in front of the Kim's mansion when the gates opened for her wife's luxurious car departure.

Jennie saw how her wife greeted her handsome prince with a big charismatic smile while the latter leaned in to kiss her lips. But still, she managed to be professional as she had always been.

Little did these bitches know, they're actually breaking people's hearts around them; thinking this is reality slapping them the fact that their OTP was just simply for a business deal with zero possibility to be real, ever.
