Waiting for You in a City | [JenLisa Adaptation]

"If you still want to be with me, I'll stay by your side..." Lisa firmly said, her voice steady but heavy with unspoken emotions, as if she were standing on the precipice of a life-altering decision.

Jennie blinked, caught off guard. Her breath hitched in her throat, and she struggled to gather her thoughts. "H-Huh?" she stammered, a whirlwind of nerves churning inside her.

"Do you still have feelings for me?" Lisa asked, her gaze piercing through Jennie with an honesty that left no room for evasion.

"W-What?"

"Do you still like me, Jennie?"

In that moment, time seemed to stand still. Jennie's heart raced, each beat echoing in her ears like a distant drum. Fear and hope collided within her, creating a tempest of emotion. After a moment that felt like an eternity, she nodded, breathless.

"Yes."

Lisa held her gaze, the silence stretching between them as if the weight of their shared history hung in the air. Finally, she spoke, her tone resolute. "I regret it, Jennie..."

"What do you mean?" Jennie's confusion deepened.

...I regret the time we've wasted apart...

"Let's be together," Lisa declared, her voice unwavering. "I don't need you to do anything. I don't need you to promise me forever or to stand by me without fail. If the day comes when you want to leave me...when you want to walk away, then let's part ways. But right now, at this moment, let's choose to be together."

After ten long years of searching and thousands of miles of being alone, it turns out...

...the only thing Lisa truly wanted was to be with Jennie.
