Weird Charm - Jenlisa

Chapter 32 - Moonlight Dance

My eyes slowly open as the evening sunlight shine through my window. I must have fallen asleep at some point. The grogginess has yet to leave my body, so I decided to stay in bed for the time being. It was when I turned to my side that I notice the soft breathing of someone near me. Confused, I look up. Even with my still blurred eyes, I can recognise that face from miles away. 

Jennie. She's here... In bed. With me...? 

I felt my face heat up as I process the thought in my head. Fortunately, the said girl isn't awake to witness this. I blinked the blurriness away while I try to remember how did this happen. Then,  the moment of our talk earlier flashes in my mind. 

Right. I told her about my parents and my past. 

It wasn't like I intentionally hid this fact of me from her, it's just... hard for me to talk about this stuff. A lot of people address Rom- mom and dad as Mr and Mrs Manoban, this is sure to cause some confusion to them, but we talked, they understand and let me take my own time to slowly reveal this truth about my family to anyone that I feel comfortable to tell. Only my close friends know about this, and now that list includes Jennie, though we are more than friends. Much more. I only told a few of my exes about it, but never in such details. That just how different Jennie is compared to them. 

Silently, I study her face. She looks so beautiful that I have to fight against myself to not pepper kisses on her adorable face. A strand of hair has fallen in front of her face, and I can't help but reach over and move them behind her ear. My hand lingers at the side of her head before gingerly placing itself against the girl's face. 

Jennie stirred but she remains asleep. I grinned at her sigh as she moves closer to me. 

"Lisa, dinner's almost ready! We made extra for Jennie if she decided to stay longer." 

Faintly, I heard dad's call from downstair. I whined softly as I realise that I need to wake Jennie up and end this little moment we're having right now. Removing my hand from the soft skin of her face, I gently pat her shoulder. 

"Jennie, it's time to wake up." Even though I whispered she seems to hear every word I said. 

"Ani... 5 more minutes... hmm," Jennie scowled as she tugged herself under my chin, her arm draped over my waist. 

I blinked at her action, a bit caught off. Though, a giant grin soon found its way to my face while I stroke her back. And the idea of sleeping beside her quickly becomes one of the many things I would like to do more in the future. 

I suppose mom and dad wouldn't mind waiting a bit longer.

"Hey, you alright there?" I asked Jennie after I notice that constant frown of hers since she started to take a short break. 

"Hm?" Jennie looked up and blinked. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just... worried." 

"About?" I stood up from my place and walked to her table.

"Jimin." 

I should have known, honestly. Since the day I got here, I realize that Jennie fears nothing in the company, always the one that's cool and collected. The only thing, or well, someone that could shake her is that snake's son, Jimin.
