A LETTER FROM ME TO YOU (JENLISA)

LET'S PLAY PRETEND

*JENNIE*

Nayeon talked to me about her marriage being moved for another 2 weeks, because her mother's flight to Korea was cancelled, so she had to adjust it for her. But she told me that her Pre-nup photoshoot will still proceed for today and she'll be back here in Busan together with her fiance. On the other hand, Lisa was seen sitting on the porch together with Kuma sleeping on her lap, the soldier's demure trait is something I adore so much, despite of her vigorous and unyielding vibe that she carry, Lisa is a soft and kind hearted woman.

"Hey.." my left hand buried behind my back pocket, subtly raising the other hand for Lisa to notice.

"Hey.." she softly replied, pre-occupied by Kuma's fur as she gently caresses the dog's belly.

"Nayeon informed me that she'll be here later with her fiance for the.. photoshoot.."Her head nodded for response.

for a second, the air between us was filled by silence. It wasn't awkward, just pure silence and we were both seemed unbothered by it. I caught myself staring intently at the soldier, her mouth began to open and was about to say something, but then she pressed it back together. that's when I decided to break herself from her reverie.

"Is there something that bothers you? I am more than willing to lend my ears, to listen to whatever's troubling you." I sat next to her, crossing my legs as I tried to balance myself from the swinging porch.

The soldier heaved a sigh. I can tell that her thoughts was really disturbed by something.

"I just.. missed her. I miss my wife, I miss Chaeyoung." Lisa's gaze was still focused on her hand as she caressed Kuma's fur. Out of compassion, I brought my hand to her head, brushing her bangs with my fingers as if its the only way to express my concern towards the soldier, to let her know that there was still someone that cares about her, and about what's troubling her.
with my touch, she flinched but somehow became used with it.

"Let's play pretend." Jennie muttered on a low tone.
This time, I looked at Jennie. her eyes, it shows serenity. it was genuine and honest.

"Pretend that I am your wife, just for a day. what do you say?"

In my mind, Jennie's idea was utterly bullshit and stupid. At the same time, she wanted to help me reduce and lighten the heaviness of my pain. Who am I to decline such help when it was something that I needed the most.
My hand reached for hers, Jennie's brown irises were dragging on mine. Like a whirpool that drags and traps me under her gaze.

"You don't have to do this Jennie, I don't want you to force yourself to something--"

"Lisa." her hand cupped my cheeks.

"I'm not forcing myself, secondly, its my decision and its only for a day Lisa." She stated.

I shut my eyes closed as I sweetly smiled in front of Jennie.

"So what do my wife want to do for today?"
she then let out a soft chuckle.

"I prefer a roadtrip and a stroll under the sunset, what do you think?" She said.

"Sounds good to me." I replied.

Jennie and I decided to have our roadtrip head towards the Gamcheon Culture Village, together with my convertible jeep, folding the roof as it exposes the interior of the vehicle. The feline eyed woman was seen wearing her casual clothes, it was a black plain shirt, with a striped black and white baggy pants, completing it with her usual black chucks as her feet loosely wore it. In my part, due to my sensitivity in cold temperature, I wore a blue loose sweater and a brown overcoat, ripped skinny jeans, and a red scarf made of wool.
