My reflection in your eyes

Two

They are all hanging out, immersed in a happy bubble.

It was good. Great, even. They just went through the most challenging and yet the most fulfilling performance of their entire careers. The audience was in it, the music was beautiful, their dancing mixed with random jumping just on point.

Jennie feels blissful, and, as she gathers thanks to the loud laughing and bright eyes of her groupmates, they feel likewise.

They are all sprawled in Jisoo and Jennie's hotel room, exhausted and exited as they've never been, still feeling like celebrating after some happy hours spent with the whole team. Rosé is imitating one particular event of their performance that she still finds hilarious, and Jisoo is chuckling against a fluffy pillow as Lisa tries to stifle a snorting sound against her hand.

Jennie smiles big. She is vaguely listening to Rosé, to her friends' interventions, but mostly relishing in the warm feeling blooming in her heart. She's thinking about her groupmates, about how deeply they are rooted in her chest, and how cute Rosé looks using her hand to imitate a mic, and how funny Jisoo is cheering for her like a fan... and for Lisa...

The brunette's breath itches.

She's just so perfect.

Sitting against the white wall, her eyes tired but still vivid, a lazy smile lifting up her cheeks and her bangs falling messily against her forehead. She looks so casual, and so relaxed, and yet so, so beautiful that Jennie can't help but to stare at her almost in shock.

It's like she is seeing her for the first time, but also like she has been seeing her forever, and she knows exactly what she's thinking about – that Rosé should imitate her brief speech before the last song-, and how tired she is – Lisa can go on for another long hour-, and even how the new sheets feel against her hand – too rough, the light blonde likes a fluffy, fluffy bed.

The moment passes slowly. Everything around Lisa loses focus in an instant, and Jennie keeps watching in amazement as the silver-haired girl lets her smile grow bigger and shifts, her doe eyes sparkly once again, happiness swimming in her gorgeous features.

Oh, Jennie thinks, and her chest swells.

Oh, with her tummy feeling warm and nice.

Oh, oh, my god.

Lisa turns around to look at her suddenly, still grinning, and the affection that she finds in her stare makes Jennie inhale deeply.

She likes Lisa.

"Unnie, all good?" the blonde asks her, a faint hint of concern in her voice making the rest of her groupmates alert, too.

"Huh... I... I'm tired, sorry", she blurts out, feeling a deep blush covering her cheeks under the inquisitive stare of her friend.

Come on. This cannot be it, right?

"We should go to sleep, then", Lisa proposes, turning to the oldest girl.

Jisoo nods, and Chaeyoung yawns as if becoming aware of her own exhaustion.

Jennie turns around, pretending to fix her pillow, trying to give her pounding heart some rest.

"I'm sleeping here!", Chaeyoung declares suddenly, and rushes to get inside Jisoo's bed, covering herself to the crown of her head in the process.

"Sleepover!", Jisoo agrees, and hides behind the sheets with her friend.

Which means...

Jennie turns towards Lisa, who is already grinning half apologetically.

"Not fond of sharing a bed?"
