When Universe Conspires

69 - MCU

(Lisa)

Eight days after Jisoo and Jen's match, my girlfriend is finally fully recovered. She's been whining and annoying me for the past week. She wanted to go on with our match the moment her face went back to normal. That's just the third day after their match! Her bruised side rib was still visible, light purple with some shade of pink. She kept on bugging me about it. I sighed for the nth time this week. I know I have to give her that match any day now. I'm still worried about it, I just don't have the guts to tell her because she will only pep talk me the same things she says all the time. She's right though. I'm just being a soft girlfriend who worries a lot even though I know what that match is for. How did we even reach this situation? Oh yeah, I remember, our lives are still not normal like any other person in the world. Dang it.

"Lalisa! It's been more than a week. I'm all good. See?! When do you plan to schedule our match?" she called me by my first name, she's grumpy again.

"Babe calm down. I can see that you're fully healed now. We can check our scheds if you want. Let's see.." I gave in "Okay, so today I have one meeting, it might last 3 hours because that's a proposal and update thingy, so we can't today. Tomorrow, I have to go to the coffee shop personally, I need to talk to my employees. Then the next day is free.. but.. I have an auction to attend for charity the day after my free day. So we can't schedule the match for the next 4 days. I can't show up in the auction with battered face" I finished.

She chuckled a little, but still visibly upset. She sighed, "Can't you cancel the auction thingy? Or maybe send someone else?"

I thought about it. I didn't answer her straightaway but I dialed my secretary's number. I talked to her about it and made arrangements.

"There, done babe. Please don't be upset about the push back. I just really want you to recover and be at your 100% before we have that match. It won't be fair for you" I told her caressing her cheek lovingly.

She smiled gently. "I'm not mad at you. I'm just really bored. I can't do anything for more than a week. You didn't even let me do house chores, even grocery shopping. I also want to get over with that match. So we can start the real fight. Are you still worried about me?"

This time, I was the one who sighed. I can't keep anything from this woman. "Honestly, I am a bit worried. It's hard to put into words what you told me to do. I can still remember how you got hurt during your fight with Jisoo. Now I will be the next one causing you pain. I don't know if I can do it"

"Aww baby. You're too sweet for your own sake. Does it really bother you that much? I kinda feel bad for not sharing the same worries. I mean, I want the match to push through, I have a different mindset compare to you. I'm just thinking about the long run. It will benefit us in the future. You know you can't always protect me. I have to know how to take care of myself. We'll never know what's going to happen in the future, everything is possible" she told me her thoughts.

I tried to sink in every word she said. "I love how your mind and heart work babe. You always think of the bigger picture. And here I am being a baby"

She giggled. "You're a big fucking baby" I giggled with her. She added in a more serious tone, "But if it will make you feel at ease and get rid of all your worries, we can cancel the match. I can just fight ChaeSoo over and over again. It doesn't have to be you. But I need to see you fight either of the two! We can have like a tag team type of thingy if possible. But we're on the same team of course! JenLisa versus ChaeSoo!"

"Wow, you just changed all the plans while you were blabbering. I'm impressed. Did all those idea just came in or you were already thinking about that beforehand?" I asked her in amazement.
