『JenSoo Short Stories』

The Last Proposal (All I really want is a lifetime with you) (1/3)

Jennie grinned wider at that thought.

She shrugged her thoughts off for now as she heard Jisoo whining on the other line, calling her with the infamous nickname her girlfriend made for her.

Only for her.

She's Jisoo's Jendeukie.

"Chu? I thought you're still shooting right now?" Jennie asked, silently hoping her girlfriend wouldn't notice how nervous she is with the tone of her voice.

Jisoo may be oblivious and clueless at times but Jennie was more than aware that her girlfriend is super smart, sensitive and observant when it comes to her moods, actions and expressions. There have been countless times when Jisoo would sense what she needs or wants without even saying it outright.

She's definitely my soulmate. My baby Chu.

"I'm on a break right now, Jendeuk. I just wanted to call you. I'm sorry I couldn't get the day off for our anniversary." Jisoo's voice was a bit sad and really apologetic on the other line. Jennie didn't like hearing her upset, not especially when Jisoo's been working so hard with what she's also been wanting to do since they were trainees.

Her Actress Chu.

"It's okay, Chu. We already talked about this. We can still celebrate later! There's a carrot cake and a strawberry cake waiting for you." Jennie's cheerful voice emanated from the room.

Her heart melted when she heard Jisoo chuckling on the other line. It's true that Jisoo's the one who makes her laugh the most. That's why whenever Jennie's the reason for making Jisoo laugh and smile, she feels extra proud of herself.

Jennie just wanted to make Jisoo feel appreciated, loved and happy. And every single day since she met her, she promised herself to do everything in her power, efforts and actions to show her best friend and girlfriend what she deserves to be treated.

Jennie sighed in contentment as she hears Jisoo's hearty chuckles.

They just saw each other earlier and yet Jennie already misses Jisoo.

"Jendeuk, I thought you bought that? Didn't you buy all the cakes you gave me before?" Jisoo teased.

"Kim Jisoo! How dare you doubt my love and effort behind picking and ordering those cakes!" Jennie gasped, acting like she was offended which she was totally not. It was hers and Jisoo's inside joke. Jennie even answered in her high-pitched tone which made them burst in laughter.

Jennie may not be the one who baked those cakes but she really tried her best in picking a cake that would suit her Chu's taste. Besides, she wanted Jisoo's cake to be delicious and special. Jennie's still learning how to cook and bake. And she just wants to make sure she can bake a delectable and delicious cake for Jisoo once she trusts her baking skills to do that.

"I'm just kidding, Jendeuk. You know I appreciate all of them, right? Even when you forgot to give me a gift and write my name on our secret santa tradition with Chaeyoungie and Lisa." Jisoo continued, her playful tone reassured Jennie that Jisoo's sullen mood earlier seemed to dissolve already.

"I know, Chu! And how many times do I have to tell you that I didn't forget your name and gift that time? I intentionally didn't write yours so I can be your secret santa. I'm cool and amazing like that." Jennie proudly stated, earning giggles from Jisoo.

Chaeyoung and Lisa were smirking, who were now cuddled up on the couch, giggling and enjoying Jennie's reactions and replies to their other best friend and co-member.

"I still can't believe you did that every year, Jen! You didn't have to do that! We always give separate gifts to each other already." Jisoo laughingly exclaimed.
