Jennie doesn't remember falling asleep on her couch, all she could remember was the banging ass meal that she had before actually drifting off, the movie that she was watching still playing on the TV, the girl laying on her back with her arms holding her pillow tightly. She had been having difficulties going to sleep lately. Not only because as she got bigger it got harder to move and get comfortable but also because she kept on having those dream but real life like dreams every time she closed her eyes. It almost made it impossible for her to sleep peacefully but she needed the sleep she could get, she had to be healthy so she wouldn't cause any problems to how the baby would develop. Even though she had been kind of scared at first, as the days and weeks passed Jennie couldn't help but feel excited for the day that she would meet the baby, her baby. She was going to give life to something and even though didn't have in mind having a baby yet, she was really glad that she made the decision to keep it.
"Oh damn," Jennie said as she slowly moved on the couch, pulling herself up with her eyes half closed still, stretching a little bit before laying back down. Opening her eyes she got scared when she came across Lisa sitting down on the floor a couple steps away from her, the woman's head resting on the wall and her hands holding her phone, Lisa asleep with her mouth slightly hanging open. Laughing to herself while looking at her, Jennie felt a small kick in her belly, her eyes looking directly down at it and her hand touching the stretched skin lightly. "What was that?" Jennie asked since it was completely random, she had gotten used to get a slight pain everytime that the baby would move and eventually kick even a little bit. Looking at Lisa one more time she felt another kick hitting her, the girl laughing causing Lisa to open her eyes and make direct contact with her. Jennie just kept laughing while Lisa looked at her confused, her hands rubbing her eyes since she had just woken up.
"What? What happened?" Lisa asked and got up, stumbling a little bit since she had just opened her eyes, approaching Jennie and standing above her, her eyes analyzing the girl's figure. Those random outbreaks that Jennie had now and then were really confusing her , so much that she wondered how Jisoo was dealing with her all this time. She had only been with Jennie for the past two days, after finding out that the girl was pregnant and that she was going to be alone for those two days since Jisoo was back in Seoul taking care of the pub that Jennie left behind for her to look after, Lisa had to stay with her. Just in case anything happened. She couldn't just leave her like that, after talking to her and clearing up some things between them, she had no reason to not stay. She simply cared that much for her, she wasn't going to leave her alone. "Are you in pain?" Lisa asked as soon as she noticed that Jennie's hand was on her stomach, the woman falling to her knees so she would be on the same level as her.
"I wouldn't be laughing, Lisa" Jennie said and sat up on the couch, her eyes looking back at Lisa's who were filled with worry and fear that something wrong had happened, that look fading when she was reassured that the girl was just fine. Looking at her belly and feeling the baby moving, Jennie contemplated whether she should tell Lisa or not, the fact that even the baby, someone that wasn't even alive for good, liked Lisa was something hilarious for Jennie. Taking a better look at Lisa's face, Jennie felt her heart stop immediately, bringing back something that she swore was hidden in the back of her head, her hand suddenly reaching out attempting to touch the woman's face. Realizing that what she was going to do was weird, Jennie pulled back quickly and cleared her throat, not even addressing what went down in her head. "Snap out of it" Jennie said to herself and smiled at Lisa who was looking at her with a small hint of worry in them.
"Are you hungry?" Lisa asked all of a sudden, her hand landing on Jennie's that was resting just a few inches away from hers. Throwing a quick look at Lisa's hand Jennie smiled and nodded, the woman getting up and disappearing in the kitchen while Jennie's eyes followed her. Well that was nice, having Lisa in the apartment. Considering the fact that she didn't want to see her just a couple days ago she found it strange. It's like she had this urge to be around her even if she was the one that she hated the most. Having her around her just gave her that feeling of being sure and safe, not just now that she was vulnerable and anything could go wrong, buy from the moment she actually got to know her. But thinking back she remembers herself having that feeling of trusting her from the first moment she talked to her, her mind never stopped screaming at her to keep Lisa in her life. "Ramen?" Lisa's voice came from the kitchen, Jennie snapping out of her thoughts and looking at the woman's head that had popped from the hallway, looking directly at her.
Jennie nodded and quickly saw Lisa disappear again, her eyes noticing that Lisa's phone was ringing even though no sound came out. Leaning closer to the table where the phone was Jennie smiled when she read the name written on it. Grabbing the phone and checking if Lisa was anywhere near her, Jennie picked up connecting the call. "What the hell Manoban, where have you been?" Chaeyoung's worried voice reached Jennie's ears, the girl holding back her laughter as she waited for the right time to speak up. "I've been running all day to take care of YOUR business," Chaeyoung spoke up again, her voice turning from worried to frustrated real quick, Jennie not being able to hold back anymore, laughing into the phone which caused Chaeyoung to pause for a good minute. "Who is this? Lisa?" Chaeyoung asked and her tone changed for the second time, Jennie checking if Lisa was looking at her or whether she was still busy with making ramen. "It's Jennie" the girl said and heard a big gasp come from Chaeyoung, Jennie laughing her ass off from her couch, miles away from Seoul. "Shut the fuck up, are you guys in the same place?" Chaeyoung asked still shocked, she obviously was aware of what had gone down, it was clear from her question.
"Yeah, in Busan actually" Jennie said while laughing, Chaeyoung acting shocked for the second time only intensifying Jennie's laughter that seemed to be so contagious that she started laughing as well. "Is that why she has been ignoring me for two days straight?" Chaeyoung asked and Lisa walked in the living room with two bowls in her hands, looking at Jennie who was obviously unaware that she joined her. "Yeah probably-" Jennie said and looked up, a mischievous smile creeping up on her lips when she saw Lisa standing there, her smile causing Lisa do crack as well. As much as she wanted to be annoyed and mad that she had answered her phone she couldn't look at her smile like that and not respond in some way. "Unnie, someone called for you" Jennie smirked when she saw the reaction that Lisa had as soon as the nickname dropped from Jennie's mouth, Lisa shaking her head and quickly recovering from it, placing the bowls down and grabbing the phone, disappearing from Jennie's eyes once again.
"Hey, sorry about that" Lisa spoke up and heard her best friend crack up from the other side, Lisa getting kind of confused since she didn't get what was so funny for her. "Cut the crap Manoban, you got her back didn't you?" Chaeyoung asked and her voice was full of hope, her question digging a deep hole in Lisa's chest, the woman looking at Jennie who was devouring her bowl of ramen while sitting on the couch, her eyes glued on the TV in front of her. Well actually she hadn't, at least not in the way that she had in her mind, but at least she was close to her now, she didn't have to go through losing her in every possible way. "No, no Chaeng" Lisa sighed and rested her back against the fridge door, closing her eyes for a moment and letting all of it sink in, her heart beating lightly in its crooked cell that had been damaged way too much. "I'm just helping her out, that's all" Lisa explained and looked around one more time only to find Jennie in the same position that she was earlier. "She's pregnant" Lisa whispered in the phone and heard Chaeyoung scream out a loud what in response.
"How is that possible?" Chaeyoung asked not too long after her gasp of disbelief, Lisa rolling her eyes. "I mean I know how it is possible, but, how,you know?" Chaeyoung sighed and sighed again and again, for some reason getting upset and stressed as well, this only came to show how much of a caring person she was something that Lisa adored about her best friend. "It just happened, but she's okay" Lisa said and smiled to herself, for a brief moment bringing in her head and image of Jennie, not as she was now but as she used to be and now she was going to be in a couple months holding a mini version of herself in her arms. "Alright, just be careful you two, okay?" Chaeyoung pointed out, once again her caring side coming out, making Lisa's smile grow even bigger, the woman reassuring her before hanging up. Taking a moment for herself and breathing steadily, Lisa walked back in the living room, still getting used to Jennie's eyes looking back at her.
"You know what I always wanted?" Jennie spoke up and asked something completely unexpected as soon as Lisa sat down on the floor, right next to the couch that Jennie was sitting on. "To watch the sun go down and the moon come up, the full circle" Jennie truthfully said, an idea popping in Lisa's head as soon as she saw the time on the clock, her eyes falling on the balcony door that was just a few steps away from her if not inches away. "What are you doing?" Jennie asked confused when Lisa pushed herself back on her feet, her hands grabbing a small blanket that Jennie used to cover herself when she layed on the couch, then a few cushions that were resting on the couch, the woman disappearing in the kitchen once again. Coming back within a few seconds of being gone, Lisa placed down a bottle of wine for her to drink from, Jennie looking at her with a pout on her lips.
"Come on" Lisa smiled and reached out, giving her hand for Jennie to take so she would help her sit down on the blanket that she had layed down for them to sit on, the woman placing one of the cushions behind Jennie's back so she wouldn't be in any kind of pain. "May I know what the hell are we doing by the balcony?" Jennie asked confused, her eyes falling on the bottle of wine that Lisa had brought, the woman popping the top off so she could pour some of it in a glass. "You said you wanted to watch the sun go down and the moon come up" Lisa spoke up in her lowest voice, the innocence behind her voice being something that Jennie hadn't seen in a long time, Lisa's eyes looking into hers for a moment that felt like hours in her head. She didn't have an empty stare, it was actually the exact opposite of that and Jennie enjoyed every minute of it. "Oh, I got you this earlier" Lisa gasped when she remembered something, pulling a bottle of grape juice from behind her back, she must have brought it along with the wine she brought for her self.
"It's the same as wine, minus the alcohol" Lisa laughed and opened the bottle for her, pouring the red juice in a wine bottle, placing it right next to hers that was actually containing alcohol before looking up at Jennie again. "See? No difference" Lisa smiled, her eyes analyzing Jennie's face for a little bit, wondering what was going inside Jennie's head at that moment, she seemed to be very invested in looking at the woman's face on and on. "Lisa, why do I feel like I've known you forever?" Jennie asked her eyes now looking into Lisa's who got darker suddenly, the emotion in them changing quickly. "Maybe we're both old souls, maybe we have met before and you feel like that" Lisa said without even letting a minute pass by, her hands placing the glasses down on the floor as she looked back up to meet Jennie's eyes again. "Maybe we made a mistake and went back to finding each other, changing the ending of the story, you don't think that's possible?"
