"Lisa...calm down. Why don't we talk once you're back?" Jisoo coaxed her cousin

[Don't try to shoo me again, jisoo. I should've known you sent me here for a reason! Why? Why...explain to me!]

So jisoo had to recite everything she has told jennie before to Lisa

"You know, I always dreamed of having my own business. The restaurant is not an overnight thought. Me and soomin have been planning to have business together since we're in college so...yeah"

[But why, why...you can still have your own business while being a CEO]

"Then I won't have time for jennie. It’s not just about me anymore"

[....]

"I'll be too busy to even take her on a date, and when i have time to finally take her, we're afraid to be caught. This is not the life that I want to have]

[Then what about me? I can't do this without you jisoo...what do i do now?] Lisa was overwhelmed with her own feelings, she adored the older girl a lot. She looked up to her. Not being able to work together anymore deeply saddened her.

"It's not like I'm completely gone. Father is still the biggest shareholder and I'm acting on his behalf...also you can still talk to me outside, if you need a second opinion about the company"

[It won’t be the same! We won't be having lunch together, going home together, complaining about the media together...Can’t you understand? It's more than working together for me! I’m hurt that you didn’t tell me beforehand]

“There’s a reason why I didn't tell you because you would strongly disagree. Jin was bugging me a lot, I didn't need an upgraded version of Jin”

[Of course I would disagree! This is insane Jisoo! What do I do now?! I can’t do this without you!] Lisa panicked

This big baby. Jisoo sighed internally, she’ll be bawling the moment Jin tells her that she's transferring to YGMA. Good thing, I pushed the task to him.

"Pick up a time, anytime, every week to have lunch with me and complain about your ty days...what do you say?]

[I still don't like it...i want a sleepover too, whenever i feel like it]

"Fine...only when Jennie is not coming over"

[Hmph...i'm still mad at you jisoo. But i have to say you look cool, especially when crushing jung ho joon. I wish i was there to see that live with my own eyes]

"Hhh...you don't say. Anyway i have to go now, talk to you i don't know..once you're back, maybe?]

Lisa hissed [I swear...i still have a lot to say to you. Just please, keep me in the loop next time. I can’t have another heart attack like this]

"Yeah I will. Sorry Lisa, I really had a lot to think about for the past weeks...You do understand, right?"

[It’s still hard to grasp...but I can’t say anything if this is what you really want. I’m...i’m just sad]

“I know, let’s talk again later, kay?”

[Okay..cousin. I love you?]

“...”

[Cousin??]

“Did you expect me to say it back, Lisa?”

[...Yes. You made me upset now say it back]

Ugh...the guilt trip

"Fine. I love you too. Take care"

Two weeks later

Incheon Airport

"Hhh...i like LA but i missed korea, this air, this smell, this buzzing sound around me" yeri said before twirling around making other passengers giggling at her

"Yah...maintain your image" irene scolded her youngest member

"Look at her" Yeri tried to put the spotlight on other member "Seulgi unnie is crying, having snot all over her face"

"Don't nag at me unnie...I'm just so happy that I start crying"

"We know, Seul. We know" jennie patted her shoulder, fully knowing the soft hearted bear had tendency to laugh crying

She looked at her other member, Chaeyoung, who was on her phone the moment they landed, arguing with her girlfriend.

Of all the things they can talk about, they choose to argue over Chaeyoung’s newest nail color.

**

Series of flashes were heard the moment they passed the arrival gate, bodyguards surrounding and guiding them to their van.

Their fans were shouting their names.

"Unnies, welcome back!"

"You all look pretty unnies"

"We miss you!!"

"Jennie unnie, congrats!"

"When is the wedding?"

Jennie smiled shyly at her fans before waving her hands. She's so happy that their fans take her dating news very well. Some even pledge to guard the couple from malicious comments.

"Miss kim, this way" one of the bodyguards called her name

"Eh?"

Her members looked at her for a brief moment, confused as well.

"Miss Kim Jisoo asked you to wait for her at the vip lounge, she's on her way to bring you home"

"Oh" yeri smirked, teasingly "How sweet of her"

"See you in a week Jen, have a good rest" Irene pulled the youngest member before she can tease jennie even more

Jennie waved her hand before following the other guard. Her fansite masters immediately followed her and camped outside the lounge. Wondering why their idol was going to the lounge until a very familiar figure emerged from the carpark. It’s Kim jisoo, waltzing in her casual clothes.

The young CEO immediately noticed them.

"You'll get cold if you sit on the floor, come inside, have a warm drink and snack" she invited them to go inside with her.

Jennie’s fansite masters looked at each other before following the CEO. Who is also their idol’s current lover.

"Charge on this card to whatever they have also for those reporters outside, warm chocolates for each of them" she told the reception and pulled out her shiny black card

"T..thank you CEO nim. But c..can we take a few pictures of you and jennie unnie?"

"Sure, there's nothing to hide anyway" jisoo said easily

Wow, free drink and exclusive photos. These fansite masters couldn't believe their luck.

Jisoo immediately spotted Jennie looking at her fondly from her seat.

“Take everything you want” She added before walking to her girlfriend/fiance with a wide smile on her face.

"Missed me?" Jisoo asked once they're two steps away

Jennie pulled the hem of her jacket to bring the older girl closer and hugged her, savoring the familiar smell of citrus that she loves the most.

"Of course, I miss you" her voice is muffled but loud enough for jisoo to hear "Finally, i'm home"

"Welcome back, baby" jisoo hugged her tighter

Finally, I can hold you in my arms again

That day, jennie fansite and a few reporters released a series of photos of the couple. First official pictures of them together as a couple.

Jisoo’s apartment

“I told your mom that I'll bring you home” Jisoo murmured but she’s shushed again by Jennie’s persistent lips. The younger girl immediately pounced on her the moment they entered her apartment.
