(Their birthday in this fic doesn't match on their birthday in real life. This is a convert and a fiction.)

Days passed, and the cut on Jisoo's hand faded away, and with it did fade the anger they'd felt for one another – though the tension was still there, still underlying and ready to be confronted once again, they were comfortable again. Jisoo felt safe now that she knew that Jennie understood what she felt, and felt comfortable allowing herself to be upset over little things like updates about the case and the occasional moments she got where she panicked about the possible outcomes.
The case was long and cumbersome, and according to Taeyeon it would be a couple of months before it would even be processed to the point where they'd have to think about it again. Of course there were some details which were required, like financial statements and things like that, but overall the case required little effort or thought from them.
Jennie returned to work, and Jisoo started going around looking for a possible job; even with the knowledge that Jennie's salary could support them if necessary, she found herself wanting to ensure that she'd be contributing as well if it came to that. She'd been looking for a job for a few months now, but not very actively – but now she was looking with aim, and was not set back by each rejection she received.
Their anniversary was fast approaching, and she found herself desperately trying to think of something to get Jennie – it had to be something meaningful, something beautiful and thoughtful and perfect for Jennie, but she was yet to figure it out.
Three days before Valentine's day, she sat Jennie down to talk.
"Okay, so, Valentine's day is coming."
Jennie smiled and nodded. "It is."
"And our anniversary."
"Yes."
"And your birthday."
"Yes."
"That's a lot of holidays in the span of a week."
"I was thinking we could just merge Valentine's and our anniversary, since I don't see any point in going all out on days just five days apart – do you?"
"We could do a Valentine's breakfast? Taeyeon's giving us all the morning off."
"That sounds nice," Jisoo agreed. "Just a nice, comfortable morning date on Valentine's, and then we go all out on our anniversary. That's reasonable, right?"
Jennie smirked. "So long as I get to take your clothes off on both days, I'll be happy."
Jisoo rolled her eyes. "You're very blunt, aren't you?"
"Just voicing my expectations," Jennie murmured as she leaned in for a kiss, "Because it'd be a shame if we didn't have sex on our anniversary. That's basically an unspoken rule of marriage, right?"
Jisoo laughed and kissed her, her hand sliding around Jennie's neck and bringing her closer. "Sure, we'll have sex. All the sex."
"You make it sound so romantic."
"I do," Jisoo grinned. But then her smile melted away, and she looked at Jennie with a worried expression. "Shit. Valentine's day is coming."
Jennie was confused. "You just said that."
"No, I mean – Lisa, she's going to be alone. On Valentine's day."
"That's shit."
"I know," Jisoo sighed. "Is Chaeyoung going to do anything, do you know?"
"Of course not."
"I don't know, she could-"
Jennie kissed her again, interrupting her train of thought. "It was just a joke. Chaeyoung's got a plan."
"She does?"
"I meant to ask you about it, actually."
"How come?"
"What's Lisa's favorite brand of beer?"
"Chaeyoung's having you buying Lisa beer for Valentine's day?"
Jennie made a face. "What, is that such a bad idea?"
Jisoo laughed. "No, it's not. It's sweet. But how does she not know?"
"According to her, Lisa drinks 'whatever piss could possibly resemble beer and appears to love it all equally as much'."
"That's very true. But I think I know a few of her favorites."
Jennie was quiet for awhile.
"You know, it's weird. Chaeyoung's never had anyone on Valentine's day. She's not the type for long-term relationships."
"Neither is Lisa."
"They're idiots in love."
Jisoo laughed again. "Yes, they are."
"You know what we should do, once Chaeyoung comes back?"
"Double date?"
"Yes."
"You do remember we're supposed to double date with Irene and Bogum in two weeks."
"Yes, and I'm excited for that, but I want to see Lisa and Chaeyoung interacting in a romantic situation."
"You nosy little shit," Jisoo chuckled.
"What? Chaeyoung's usual relationships have just been about sex, and yet here I am, being sent off to buy a Valentines day present for her girlfriend because she's halfway across the world, pining after her like some lovestruck idiot."
"You forget that we used to be the lovestruck idiots." Jisoo reminded her. "God, we must've been annoying."
"We weren't this infuriatingly oblivious, were we?"
Jisoo shrugged. "Probably."
"You sure?"
"Pretty sure."
*****
And so Valentines day rolled around.
Jennie dragged herself out of bed early to make Jisoo blueberry pancakes – she crept out of bed, not wanting to wake Jisoo till breakfast was all set and ready, and slipped downstairs into the kitchen. There, on the kitchen table, she found a surprise from Jisoo – there was a vase with a beautiful, huge bouquet of flowers set in the middle of the table, and beside it was a heart-shaped box of chocolates – all around the table there were little Valentines day cards, scattered around in a seemingly unorganized way. Jennie chuckled when she read what they said – they were the cheesy kind, the sort she'd seen around on the internet, with lines like 'are you a beaver cuz dam' and 'I may not go down in history but I'll go down on you'. She read them all, and laughed quietly, finding it adorable how Jisoo had even bothered to sign each card individually, not just with her name but with little things like 'your loving wife' and 'that hot babe from the bar' – the second one was a running gag, invented by Lisa and referring to the fact that they'd literally met at a bar and married each other on the same day.
Jisoo was the hot babe from the bar. Jennie was the mysterious woman in the little red dress.
Jennie couldn't stop smiling as she gathered all the cards together and set them atop the box of chocolates, after which she moved on into the kitchen to get started on breakfast. She'd heard the shower turn on upstairs, and so was comfortable putting on some music – soft piano music, mellow and happy, echoed through the apartment as she made the pancakes and set the table for two, stopping momentarily to contemplate putting a candle in between the two as a joke – but she'd decided against it, because it would've been weird given the blaring sunlight coming through just about every window in their apartment.
Jisoo came down clad in just shorts and a t-shirt, smelling freshly of her jasmin-scented soap, and wrapped her arms around Jennie's waist whilst Jennie tried to focus on flipping the pancakes. She kissed Jennie's cheek, and smiled, and then finally said: "Happy Valentines day, babe."
Jennie hummed and leaned her head against Jisoo's as she flipped the pancake. "Happy Valentines day."
"Did you like your surprise?"
"Yes, I did. I thought we agreed not to go all out."
"I didn't. I just got you flowers and chocolates and printed out some cards."
"They were funny, by the way."
"Of course they were. I've got an excellent sense of humor."
"Sure you do."
Jisoo hummed and slipped away from Jennie, and went over to stand outside on the balcony for just a moment – it was a little past eight in the morning, and Jennie wasn't due to go to work till twelve. Taeyeon had given the office a half-day, because she and her wife had a tradition of a long Valentines' day brunch. In her own words, 'there's nothing so important that it couldn't be put off a few hours so that we can all enjoy our loved ones', and Jisoo was so grateful for that. During the week, Jennie did get very busy – she was usually out of the house by eight, and rarely returned before five, leaving Jisoo with far too much time on her hands.
She was actively trying to find something to occupy herself with, but it wasn't that easy.
"Breakfast's ready!" Jennie called from inside. Jisoo smiled to herself and walked back inside, shutting the balcony door because it was still relatively cold out. When she went over to sit down across from Jennie, she found that there was a freshly brewed cup of her favorite coffee set beside her plate, along with a bouquet of lilies and a little stuffed teddy bear with a heart in it's little arms, embroidered with the question 'be my Valentine?' She laughed gently when she saw the bear, and took it into her hand, unable to resist the temptation to try and mimic it's adorable little smile. This in turn had Jennie giggling, and for a while, they didn't speak at all.
"You're a romantic dork," Jisoo finally commented. "A teddy bear? Really?"
"What? It's cute."
Jisoo set the bear aside to pile a few pancakes onto her plate. "While that is indeed very true, it doesn't lessen the fact that it's the dorkiest and cheesiest Valentine's day gift I've ever gotten."
"Oh? You've got some experience with Valentine's day gifts, then?" Jennie teased.
Jisoo stuck her tongue out at her. "Don't you go getting jealous. It's not like I married any of them."
"Very true."
"And I only got Valentine's gifts in like, middle school. And high school."
"Is this you subtly telling me Valentine's day gifts are childish?"
"You did get me a stuffed bear, so..." Jisoo pointed out. Jennie made an exaggerated noise in offense, and Jisoo laughed. "Shut up. I love it. And the flowers, they're gorgeous."
"Not as gorgeous as you."
"God, that's cheesier than any of the lines in the cards I gave you."
"Shut up."
Jisoo leaned halfway across the table and smirked. "Make me."
They ate breakfast with no hurry in the world, and it was absolutely delicious – even so, what came after was infinitely more delicious and pleasant. Jisoo led Jennie back upstairs to their bedroom, and took off her sleep shorts and shirt to reveal a brand new set of underwear that looked absolutely ravishing and had Jennie weak in the knees at first sight.
"Fuck, Jisoo," she murmured as she pulled the dark-haired down onto the bed with her, "To think I sat across from you for almost an hour and didn't even know what you were hiding..."
Jisoo smirked and kissed her more deeply, her hand running up along Jennie's stomach to cup her breast. "It's a good surprise, isn't it?"
"Fuck, yes."
Jisoo hummed and ran a line of kisses down along Jennie's jaw, and Jennie quivered beneath her touch – Jisoo was determined, confident as ever, her one hand cupping her breast whilst the other made it's way down along her stomach towards where Jennie was burning it to be. But Jisoo was in no hurry, not this morning, not at all. She continued to tease and taunt Jennie with breathy kisses and lingering touches, slight grazes of fingertips along the wetness pooling between her thighs but nothing more than feather-like touches. When she had Jennie practically whimpering at even the slightest touch, she finally indulged, and moved downwards to pull Jennie's sweatpants off and to place her mouth along her wife's dripping sex. Jennie sighed and leaned her head back, hands slowly curling around the sheets of the bed as Jisoo's tongue made work of her most sensitive places to send waves of pleasure running through her veins, coursing through her body and rendering her completely pleased. She allowed herself to Jisoo fully, and amidst her pleasure was overwhelmed by love for the dark-haired whose shoulders her legs rested upon.
Her climax came along soft and gentle, and yet it engulfed her entirely – a warmth enveloped her whole being, and she was so infinitely relaxed and pleasured that she simply couldn't comprehend it. But that only lasted a split second, because the next second Jennie had Jisoo in her lap, their lips pressed together as Jennie's hand slipped past the smooth silk of Jisoo's new underwear.
"I really like this," she murmured, "This set. It's beautiful."
Jisoo smiled, and let out a quiet sigh when Jennie's two fingers slid into her. "I bought it with you in mind."
Jennie's arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer, her fingers sliding in and out of Jisoo slowly and surely. "If I could, I'd have you wear this every day."
Jisoo shifted slightly and grinded her hips against Jennie's fingers, her lips just slightly parted as Jennie's fingers curled inside her and grazed the spot which made the growing warmth and pleasure increase infinitely. Jennie grinned and pressed her thumb down on Jisoo's clit, surprising her and eliciting a quiet gasp – but soon enough they'd settled into a rhythm, one in which Jisoo rode Jennie's fingers slowly, with Jennie following her rhythm and adding to her pleasure with her lips pressed wherever she could – her jaw, her lips, her neck, her breasts, wherever there was skin, Jennie was sure to kiss. After a while, Jisoo's occasional whimpers had grown steady, and Jennie grinned when she felt her growing closer to her climax. To add to her pleasure, to help her go over the edge, she sucked at Jisoo's pulse point, her tongue dancing on sensitive skin as not two, but three fingers steadily fucked her. When she withdrew her lips to claim Jisoo's mouth once again, her eyes caught sight of an angry red hickey on Jisoo's pale skin, and she was infinitely proud of herself. She loved leaving marks on Jisoo, little notes of her love and of the fact that Jisoo was hers and no one else's.
She also knew that Jisoo loved having said marks on her skin.
Her lips claimed Jisoo's, and her tongue slipped into Jisoo's mouth as Jisoo's whimpers grew more frantic – and then there was a moan, and Jisoo's grip of Jennie's shoulders tightened, and her muscles tightened around Jennie's fingers in continuous pulses until they did no more. Jisoo was spent, a happy smile plastered onto her lips, and when Jennie laid her down onto the bed, she lazily wrapped her arms around Jennie's neck and pulled her in for a kiss.
"Told you there'd be sex," she murmured. "All the sex."
"All the sex?" Jennie asked, intending to tease Jisoo just slightly. "That wasn't so much..."
Jisoo kissed her again before replying. "You think we're done?"
