『JenSoo Short Stories』

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

Jisoo tried to stifle her yawn when her manager unnie checked up on her.

She was lounging on a comfortable chair inside her designated tent. She napped for quite a bit since their shooting got extended for two hours due to technical issues. She wanted to call Jennie earlier but she was also being rushed to another scene so she texted her instead.

It was their tenth anniversary and all Jisoo really wanted was to end the day in Jennie's arms.

Her schedule officially ended just now as she smiled and greeted everyone while trailing behind her manager unnie who was talking to someone on her phone.

Jisoo didn't mind as she grinned wider, bumping along her co-workers, including the production team and their director who kept thanking her and Jennie for the delicious meal earlier.

For the nth time, Jennie never fails to amaze and surprise her.

Her girlfriend sent a huge food truck just in time for their afternoon break earlier.

Jennie even had a special snack box and care package prepared especially for her.

Jisoo wonders how Jennie always finds time and ways to take care of her. Every single time. No matter when or where, Jennie remained consistent with her support, love and effort.

It's been ten years.

And yet Jisoo still feels not a lot has changed especially with how deeply in love she is with Jennie.

It still makes her feel giddy and warm whenever she fondly recalls how Jennie asked her out on a date even when it was just a few days since they met and became 'naked buddies' (as Jennie dubbed it on national television, Jisoo still teases her girlfriend about it but the latter was naturally unbothered with it.)

Jisoo could remember how Jennie made every date memorable especially when they were still trainees.

It was hard to pull off when they were still trainees because they only had a very limited free time back then. Jisoo still couldn't forget when she invited Jennie to go with her and her family on Jeju Island. Jisoo rarely sees Jennie nervous and she marveled at the fact that her girlfriend really wanted to make a good impression even when they were secretly dating back then (they told their parents they were dating when they turned 18 and their families didn't even seem surprised about it).

They didn't have it easy. The journey of reaching their dreams while also being in a relationship were filled with uncertainties and unspoken fears, doubts and worries.

However, the passion and desire they have for their dreams as well as their love for each other made it easier for them to fight harder and never surrender.

For Jisoo, she'll always be grateful she has Jennie. She was grateful they have each other to rely on whenever one of them needs an extra ounce of strength, a gentle push or encouragement whenever one of them gets tired, frustrated or afraid of what would happen with all the scary possibilities of the future back then and even until now.

Ten years.

Jisoo couldn't wait for more years to celebrate with her Jendeuk as they continued to hold each other's hand towards whatever was ahead of them.

Jisoo chuckled, shaking her head. She didn't know why she feels extra sentimental today. Maybe because she misses Jennie right now even though she'll see her when she gets home.

Jisoo looks around, she's outside the waiting area where her manager unnie had told her to stay for a while so she could get the car. Jisoo pulled out her phone while waiting. She laughed when she saw the notifications from their blackpink group chat. Lisa and Chaeyoung sent photos of her Jendeuk looking grumpy. Jisoo guessed they probably annoyed and teased her girlfriend earlier when they talked on the phone. Jisoo was very much amused since their best friends and co-members were even cheesier than them!
