It's now the last day of Lisa's week long vacation and she has to prep up for that lunch Jennie had mentioned days ago with her parents.

Stretching her limbs with her eyes closed, she starts blindly patting the space beside her to find and grab Jennie's body but when she realized that the mattress feels cold, she opens her eyes and yawns after finding an empty spot beside her. Her body turns to the other side to take a look at the time clock.

7:23 o'clock in the morning.

Jennie is probably now in her study room to have her daily review routine. With that in mind, Lisa pushes herself up to take a sit. She heard little tiny taps on the floor board which made her head turn towards the source only to find a running Kuma who then jumps on the bed.

"Good Morning, little one."

Kuma answers her with a bark while she starts ruffling his thick fur. "Have you had breakfast already?"

The pup answers her with another bark and a fast wagging tail, which translates as a 'Yes' after months of an on and off training, they just don't have time — lucky enough, the pup is smart to easily learn and remember things.

"Good. Time for mine then." she cooed before landing a kiss on the pup's head and gets off the bed. Fixed up the bed sheets before grabbing her phone to send Jennie a 'Good Morning' text.

After prepping up her cereal with sliced fresh berries and banana, she starts eating at the countertop of the kitchen island whilst checking her emails, social medias and text messages.

Just like what her management said, news about Jackson's contract termination with their company is nowhere to be found. They kept it behind closed doors to help the man's reputation remains the same to the public and to not ruin his future endeavours — this is per Lisa's request.

She also never received any emails, texts or calls from Jackson which Lisa is thankful for. Her nightmares are still re-occuring from time to time and she knows she still needs time to recover from the anxiety. She still has yet to identify whether physically having Jackson around her would trigger her trauma so not being bothered by him throughout the course of the vacation sets her mind at ease.

Her manager had been calling her from time to time too to check on her per request from his wife — who was by the way so angry and pissed after she knew about what happened and Lisa is thankful beyond words to have an extended family she could easily talk to whenever she has problems.

As for the man that saved her, she doesn't know whether he's still using the same number but instead of messaging him for literally saving her twice, she figured she'd do it personally. Jennie had agreed to it as well, Lisa decided to be more outspoken over things like this to be fair to her lover — after all, Jennie is like a glue that keeps her sanity together to anything she had to deal with that relates to her career.

She's in the middle of checking a group chat when a pair of arms went around her torso before feeling a kiss that landed straight onto her right shoulder. It would've scared her to death but when the sweet and minty scent hit her consciousness, the only physical reactions she did were to smile and set the phone down on the marbled countertop before turning her face to land a quick kiss onto the corner of her lover's lips whose cheek is now resting on her shoulder.

"Good Morning, beautiful. Are you done?"

Jennie smiles, her grip around Lisa's torso tightens. "Yeah, I woke up so early."

Lisa swivels the chair around, effectively making Jennie unwrap her arms around her for a short while because once Lisa had stopped turning, she went straight back into Lisa's warm and comforting body. Letting her face snuggle against the crook of Lisa's neck, her arms around Lisa's shoulders while Lisa's arms are around her upper torso. "Sleepy?" Lisa asks, landing yet another soft kiss on her temple.

"Kind of."

"Then get some sleep. I'll wake you up in 2 hours more or less so we could prep up before meeting your parents."

But instead of moving, Jennie even snuggled further and it made Lisa chuckle in amusement. One of Lisa's hands started caressing Jennie's back whilst landing random kisses on her cheek or temple — this is one of Lisa's ways to send Jennie back to sleep and it's always effective. When Lisa sensed how Jennie's body slowly relaxed and her breathing turns calm and even, she had to gently pat her hip and says. "Babe, go get upstairs or in the couch."

"No." Jennie grumbles against Lisa's neck.

Lisa chuckles. "You can't sleep while standing."

"Watch me."

"No way. Give me 2 minutes. I'll finish my cereal and go after you. I'll sing a song."

With that, Jennie slowly pulls her head away from her lover's neck — their faces are just inches apart this time. "Promise?"

It sounded so cute, vulnerable and gentle that Lisa couldn't help but to lean in for a quick peck on Jennie's lips. "Yes, I promise."

"Okay." Jennie says but refused to let her arm off of Lisa.

Lisa's eyebrow raised. "And what are you waiting for?"

"Well I only agreed with you singing a song, finish up the cereal."

Lisa laughs again, instantly figured out everything. "Oh dear, here we go with the Jendeuk mode."

"And what about it?"

Lisa had to snort at the sassy reply paired up with a sassy smug from Jennie. "Nothing." she replies before turning around to finish up her breakfast with Jennie still clinging onto her from behind.

***

Thick, heavy and warm atmosphere with uneven breathing fill the four corners of the room. One just slipped and rolled her way off from a panting figure after a soft and lingering kiss. Both naked, panting and slightly sweating, one is softly chuckling while the other had her eyes closed.

"What are you laughing about?"

"And here I thought we're taking a nap."

The woman who had her eyes closed chuckled too after hearing that. "Well, your fault for being way too sexy earlier."

"Sexy? I was just singing."

"Yup, you really think that singing a song about sex was going to make me sleep?"

Her eyes opened to look at the panting figure who's already looking at her. "It's a nice song, nice melody. Not my fault that you get triggered easily."

An eyeroll. "Not to mention your hand was everywhere, Manoban."

Lisa finally laughs this time, turning her body side ways as she bends her arm, elbow resting on the mattress with the side of her head resting on her palm. "I was just trying to let you sleep, Kim."

Lisa's fingers are now ghostly tracing Jennie's exposed collarbone which effectively sent shivers down her spine — she's also having goosebumps. "Stop that."

"Stop what?" Lisa says, her voice is turning low and husky and Jennie could've sworn she felt something right in between her legs. Lisa eyes dilated and turned into a darker shade once again as they freely travel from Jennie's eyes down to her lips.

Jennie's voice got caught between her tongue and throat, finding herself unable to respond immediately. Lisa's fingers bravely travelled down south — not to mention how Lisa's dark eyes are now staring back at her own. "Y-Your hand. Stop."

And she stops, right above Jennie's lower abdomen — one of the her few 'sweet spots', her sensitive spots — which immediately earned Lisa a view of Jennie gnawing her lower lip. "I am now."

Jennie closes her eyes and breathes deeply to let all the tension out. Not because she doesn't want a re-run of what happened few minutes back but because they need to get ready in a few hours and she wants to have a short nap before that.

Determined not to get affected, Jennie opens her eyes only to find Lisa who's now trying to hold her laughter basing on how she's biting her lower lip and her eyes, damn those eyes. How didn't she noticed the change of shade will remain a mystery. A light bulb turns on and Jennie ended up shoving Lisa's face. "Ugh, I hate you!" she grumbles whilst turning her back against the now laughing Lisa.

Jennie continues to grumble her complains and displeasure while Lisa was trying to stop herself from laughing, the look on Jennie's face earlier was so priceless. Lisa scoots forward to wrap an arm around Jennie's naked torso but that too was shoved out of the way which just made Lisa chuckle. She tries again, this time with a full grip around it.

"I'm sorry." Lisa says, landing a soft kiss on Jennie's nape.

Another shiver, another uneven breathing. "I swear to God Lisa, if you won't stop that I'm going to rip off your bones."

The threat was only answered by a chuckle and a kiss on her cheek. "Okay okay I'll stop. Sorry about that. You're just so adorable, I couldn't help it."

Jennie didn't answer and Lisa doesn't need to look at Jennie's face to know that the woman is now definitely pouting. "I'll stop the teasing now. I love you."

And just like that, Jennie's irritation felt like it fly out of her — as if it didn't even exist. "I love you too, a damn tease."

Lisa chuckles once again, grabbing the comforter using toes it got shoved down south during their session before swiftly kicking it up which was immediately caught by her hand. Once both of their naked bodies are tucked under the warmth of the comforter, Lisa's arms went back around Jennie's figure — bodies against one another.

"Now let's take a nap for real. We only have less than 2 hours of nap."

"Let's. I love you."

"I love you too."

***

"See? It wasn't that bad." Jennie says only to chuckle after seeing Lisa taking in obvious deep breaths as soon as they got inside the car.

"Your dad is still as scary as ever, I mean I should get used to it considering that I am living with you but yo—ow!" Lisa winces after receiving a gentle slap on her upper arm.

"And what do you mean by that?" Jennie glares at Lisa and the latter only finds it cute rather than intimidating which made her chuckle then groans right after receiving another slap.

"I was just kidding, geez! Your hand is so damn heavy, totally opposite to what surgeons should be." rubbing the inflicted section on her arm.

Jennie shrugs smugly. "I apply pressure and weight if it's deemed necessary."

It was honestly an innocent remark but seeing the smirk and playful gaze from the younger made her realize that saying something related to pressure will never be not innocent to Lisa anymore. "Yah!"

"I didn't even say anyth—ow! Babe!" Lisa winced again after receiving another slap.

The last one was a bit stronger than what Jennie intended to do. She immediately reached out to rub the spot to at least ease the pain. "I'm sorry. Geez, stop being such a perv, will you?"

Lisa juts her lower lip for a cute little pout while letting her lover console the inflicted part. "You're just assuming."

Jennie narrows her eyes and adds pressure on the way she rubs Lisa's arm, ignoring the flutters in her stomach after seeing the way Lisa is pouting. "Am I really?"

The pressured rubbing on Lisa's arm starts to burn which automatically erased all the cutesy side she had pulled off earlier. "Ow! Ow! Fine fine. That is because I couldn't help it."

Jennie stops the gestures but continues to subtly and playfully glare at the youngest who's now back at pouting whilst turning the car's engine on. "Take your mind off the gutter, sometimes, Manoban."

The remark somehow made Lisa laugh. "I'm sorry, Doctor Kim. I'll try but no expectations."

Jennie playfully rolls her eyes as Lisa drives them out of her parents' property. The lunch went on without a hitch. Although her dad is still pretty much uptight towards Lisa, she knows her dad is trying and she's okay with that. In contrast to her dad, her mom fell in love with Lisa as soon as they had met for the first time. Her mom would constantly ask about Lisa every time they had a conversation, her mom once said, whoever and whatever makes her happy then she's hundred and one percent invested.

Jennie's mom noticed how Jennie changed for the better. How her daughter turned from a very strict and uptight woman to something she had never seen before nor even thought Jennie had — and she knew it's because of Lisa. Jennie used to overwork herself out, no matter how tired she is she'll be up and running if you needed her until Lisa came and balanced it out without comprising anything and Mrs. Kim appreciates that.

Jennie's dad however was partly against their relationship. Not because it is a taboo but because he doesn't want her daughter to suffer from the consequences of something that isn't yet pretty accepted by the norm. But seeing how happy his daughter had become and how Lisa protected and stood up for her when their relationship was revealed to the public, he decided to take it one step at a time. It wasn't easy but he's getting there, his guard is still up though whenever Lisa is around but he likes the girl, he just doesn't know how to show it yet. Like father, like daughter.

They both decided to head straight home after the lunch with Jennie's parents to spend the remaining hours before Lisa flies out to Europe the next morning. They both have to deal with the time difference starting tomorrow.

Jennie's eyes are directed at the road in front of them as she and Lisa both succumb into a comfortable silence until Lisa started opening her mouth while letting the windows of each side roll down. As a result, the breeze of the air meets their faces.

"I look at her and have to smile, as we go driving for a while. Her hair blowing in the open window of my car and.."

Jennie couldn't help but smile, there's always something about Lisa's singing voice that always attracts her and morphs her emotions to whatever she wants you to feel ever since she first heard her sing. That ability improved throughout the years of experience and practice which garnered her quite a hefty fanbase. The soft timbre of her voice is something she wouldn't mind hearing every single day.

"As we go the traffic lights, I watch them glimmer in her eyes in the darkness of the evening.."

The way Lisa expertly handles and holds the riff at the end had made Jennie's head turn to face the already smiling Lisa whose eyes are still at the road.

"And I've got all that I need, right here in the passenger seat.." Lisa stops at the traffic light when it turns red before staring straight into Jennie's eyes.

The gentleness and affection are all that Jennie could see and it made her heart soar high. Lisa never fails to make her heart flutter, she always does it so effortlessly. "Oh, and I can't keep my eyes on the road, knowing that she's inches from me. Ohhh.."

Jennie's smile continues to grow wider, her cheeks are also starting to heat up while listening to the way Lisa improvised and played around the last note — it sounds so gentle, clean and good. "We stop to get something to drink, my mind clouds and I can't think. Scared to death, to say I love her."

Lisa turns her attention back to the road to start driving when her peripheral vision saw the lights changing its color.

"Then the moon peeks from the clouds. I hear my heart, it beats so loud try to tell her.. simply.."

Lisa continues singing while driving with Jennie whose focus is now fully onto her lover. She was never really a believer of possibly falling in love with the same person over and over again — unless you're married — until Lisa came in and proved her wrong. She reached out to hold Lisa's hand, her emotions are starting to overwhelm her and she needs something to hold onto before she does something stupid.

"That I've got all that I need, right here in the passenger seat. Oh, and I can't keep my eyes on the road knowing that she's inches from me.."

The younger swiftly intertwines and interlocks their fingers with Jennie's free hand's now resting on top of Lisa's hand, smile never leaving their faces.

"Oh, and I know that this love will grow. "

The way Lisa hit the last note while also adding playful riffs to it made the butterflies in Jennie's stomach caused quite a chaos. Her cheeks are now definitely hot and a shiver had run down through her spine as if someone just splash a cold water on her. The things that only Lisa could do to her are unbelievable.

Lisa continues singing the last few parts of the song while she parks the car but didn't break their hands apart. Once safely parked, Lisa turns her head back to Jennie as she sings the last line.

"Oh, that I've got all that I need, right here in the passenger seat.." Lisa ends the song with a smile before bringing their joint hands up so she could kiss at the back of Jennie's hand before saying while looking straight to her eyes. "I love you. Four weeks won't be that long. I'll come back home to you, I always do."

Jennie doesn't know why but her eyes suddenly started getting blurry after hearing what Lisa had to say. The way Lisa held her hand, kissed it, stared directly into her eyes and her 'I love you' sounded, looked and felt so familiar yet unfamiliar. Does that makes sense? Bet it's not. In short, she's very overwhelmed by the amount of love that Lisa is wholeheartedly showing to her.

"I'll be waiting for you." Jennie replied before Lisa leans forward to capture her lips for a kiss.
