Fake Dating... or is it real?

Chaeyoung shook her head incredulously and grabbed Lisa's hand, making her open it and dropping the necklace with the engagement ring Jennie had left in Chitthip's grave into it.

"I'm glad I decided to wait until right before your ceremony to give you this."

Lisa looked at the necklace and noticed the ring on it.

"This is beautiful."

"It is, and it's yours. It's the engagement ring Jennie bought for you."

"Oh. Okay. Wait—engagement ring? What engagement ring?" Lisa asked in confusion.

"Jennie proposed to you too. Before you proposed to her actually."

"I think I would remember if the love of my life proposed to me Rosie." Lisa said immediately. "I know I'm an idiot but not by that much."

Chaeyoung grabbed Lisa's hand and led her to the couch so they could sit down, trying to help Lisa sit still for a second so she could pay attention to what she was about to say.

"Jennie left this on your mother's grave. Jisoo and I caught her when she did it. We both knew what it meant. We didn't have to hear what she said to her to know she was basically telling your mom that she would marry you if she could.

We didn't have to hear the words to know she was practically proposing but not to you directly because she thought you should be the one to decide after everything she was forced to do to you. She doesn't know I took it yet. She doesn't know Jisoo and I both planned to give it to you on her behalf.

Don't you see Lisa? Jennie literally bought you an engagement ring, a crazy expensive one by the way, this is custom Celine, Jisoo checked. It's even more expensive than the one you got her.

Apparently Jennie reached out to them because she thought that fashion house resembles your style the most and while they do some jewelry they don't do engagement rings so you can imagine how much money she dropped on you for them to make you one, just so she could leave this on your mother's grave as a promise to be devoted to you without even telling you.

She obviously knew it probably wouldn't be there the next time you visited her so you wouldn't even see it but she didn't care because promising your mother she's devoted to you was more important. Making amends was more important. She did all of that just to show her how much you mean to her and I imagine she probably apologized for hurting you."

Chaeyoung opened the necklace and put it around Lisa's neck and then tucked it in under her button up.

"Jennie once asked me why I tried to set you guys up. Why I thought you were perfect for each other even before you two had even met and I told her that it was because you balance each other out, because you compliment each other perfectly.

Lisa, that's literally in your vows. You literally talk about how you complete each other. You wrote them yourself and I agree with every single word. Now breathe. She said yes to marrying you even before you asked her Lis, I think this proves it, don't you?" Chaeyoung asked, tapping Lisa's chest where the ring lay.

"What would I do without you?" Lisa breathed out, finally calming down.

"Should I start with the fact you'd be emotionally stunted without me and skip the million other reasons in between that show you'd be lost if you hadn't met me and end up with the most important fact that you wouldn't have met the love of your life without me?" Chaeyoung said, smiling teasingly.

"Yeah, about that, I've been meaning to talk to you about it. You don't have to buy me a birthday gift ever again. Seriously. You've already given me all of my birthday gifts for the rest of my life for introducing me to Jennie.
