•••

Soft light filtered into the bedroom the next morning. Sometime during the night, Jisoo turned onto her side, pulling Jennie more securely into her embrace. Both arms around Jennie holding her near.

Jisoo's eyes opened to find Jennie still in slumber. She took the opportunity to just watch her sleep.

Jisoo swept the backs of her fingers so gently across Jennie's chubby cheek. Jennie's response was to snuggle in even closer, her lips parting.

"Jennie," Jisoo softly whispered.

Jennie pulled at something deep inside her. Jisoo needed to taste Jennie's kiss.

A simple need to connect with Jennie. No sexual stirrings. A basic connection.

Jisoo smiled as Jennie involuntarily took in a breath as her hand slid to Jennie's nape.

Never should have told me your secrets, Jisoo said to Jennie in her mind as she brought her lips to Jennie.

When Jennie responded with a tenderness that matched her, Jisoo felt such a longing in her heart.

Jennie's hand slid up her chest, along her neck. As Jennie's fingers gently ran along her nape to tangle in her hair, Jisoo felt the shudder down to her toes.

Jennie's mind was muddled. Jisoo's hand sliding at her nape caused stirrings within.

The black hole Jennie been in lifting at the feel of Jisoo's kiss. More. Don't stop.

Jennie's fingers fisting in Jisoo's hair, holding Jisoo to her. For the first time in weeks, a sense of belonging ran through her.

Jisoo felt something wet on her thumb. What the? She pulled back gently.

Tears slowly escaping Jennie's cat-eyes, running down until meeting up with Jisoo's hand that cupped the side of Jennie's face.

No Baby. Jennie didn't cry. Jennie held it all together. Jisoo's heart broke at the sight. Had I really done this to her?

Every emotion Jennie tried desperately to hold in check came forth. Jisoo's kiss had that power over her.

For just a moment, the rest of the world wasn't interfering.

Jisoo's lips returned to Jennie, full of the desperation she felt. Jennie would never use tears to get to a person. That made the effect they had on her even worse.

Jennie felt Jisoo's desperation. It matched her own. Causing her emotions to build even more. She pulled free, fearing she'd be overcome and unable to stop herself from becoming a blubbering mess.

Jisoo looked at Jennie. Such tenderness in her eyes. That didn't help. There was too much to deal with.

Jisoo didn't stop Jennie when she pulled away. Rolling away from her as she rose.

"Jennie," Jisoo softly called.

Jennie didn't answer. She couldn't. Words wouldn't form around her tight throat. All she could do was shake her head and make her way to the bathroom, closing the door.

Jisoo knew Jennie was avoiding her. She made her way to the other bathroom at the sound of Jennie turning on the shower.

By the time Jennie had showered, dressed and entered the kitchen, Chahee had brought Jinwoo back.
