Chaeyoung looks at her and wraps an arm around her shoulder while the girl snuggles closer. "You guys will be okay," she eventually says. She's always known how to comfort Lisa in the simplest of ways.

"Yeah," Lisa breathes out. "We will be."

Lisa really hopes so.

And they really are okay. It's easy to forget what lingers on the back of their minds and the weight that persists at the base of their hearts when they get to sleep next to each other, bask in one another's warmth and love — the world and their worries unable to reach them in their bubble.

They're okay until Lisa gets an invitation to her cousin Sorn's wedding.

Jennie is over at Lisa's apartment, Jisoo and Chaeyoung are off in their own world again, while the brunette is rifling through her mail at the kitchen counter. Jennie is in the living room, trying to set up the show they plan on watching for that night, when Lisa's eyes land on a small envelope with an elegant script on the front.

She's reading over it when she feels the raven-haired girl come up behind her and wrap strong arms around her midsection while leaning down to give her bare shoulder — the oversized shirt she's wearing having slipped down on one side — a short kiss before resting her chin on it.

"What you got there?" the feline-eyed girl asks merrily as she looks over the girl's shoulder.

"An invitation to my cousin's wedding," she turns her head slightly to look at the girl while she gives her a small smile, trying to get a read on her reaction.

Jennie doesn't give anything away as she meets her girlfriend's eyes. "That's cool, you going?"

Lisa looks down for the briefest moment before turning around completely in the raven-haired girl's hold and putting her own arms around the smaller girl's neck, while Jennie's immediately rest around her waist.

"Yeah," she answers softly. "Sorn and I were really close growing up, so," she shrugs. "I mean I love Minnie, I do," she says with a twinkle in her eye. "But Sorn was like the older sister I never had and she helped me with all that high school angst stuff," she lets out a small chuckle.

After looking into one another's eyes for a few more moments, the brunette leans forward in the slightest bit, her lips ghosting over Jennie's when she whispers, "I'd like you to be my date, Miss Kim."

When Jennie doesn't answer immediately, too caught up in Lisa's lips mere inches away from hers, the brunette takes it as hesitance and pulls back a little, managing to smile through her words. "But I understand if you don't want to go," she says softly.

Jennie snaps out of it and when she meets the girl's brown doe eyes, her heart constricts at the sight. She hates that she's the reason for the sadness in her favorite doe eyes and she wonders how long it will be before it tears them apart. She puts that in the back of her mind for now, happy to savor whatever time she may have with Lisa.

She gives the younger girl a genuine look and leans forward to give her a soft smile — the smile Lisa knows is only meant for her, so she can be sure that she means her next words. "Of course I'll be your date. I'll always want to be wherever you are, love."

With the way the light returns to her girl's eyes, Jennie finds herself okay again. "You're too good with your words, you know that?" the brunette replies while playfully poking Jennie in the cheek.

The feline-eyed girl only shrugs as she smiles cheekily, "It comes in handy."

At Jennie's response, Lisa lets out a laugh, unguarded and carefree, and just like that, all is right in their world again.
