The silver hatchback came to a stop at a block of apartments. Jennie watched Jisoo unbuckle her seatbelt quietly. Her heart was beating rapidly. It wasn't the first time she sent Jisoo home after eating dinner together. It wasn't the first time she was thinking of how to broach a particular topic. Words floated around in her mind but she just couldn't arrange them in a logical manner and vocalize them.

Jennie had been hanging out with Jisoo often in recent weeks and realized her interest in the older girl was increasing each time they met. They were working in different departments and had met through a project they were currently working on.

Suddenly, Jennie became very aware of the close proximity between them as Jisoo leaned over to reach for her backpack on the backseat. If she had enough guts, Jennie would reach over and confess immediately. However, this scene replayed itself each time for the past week with no surprises.

"Thanks for the ride" Jisoo said as she pulled the door handle, preparing to leave.

Maybe we could make this a daily affair? And perhaps we could share a hug and goodnight kiss before you alight. Jennie wished.

"Do you have something to say?" Jisoo asked. "You seem hesitant."

"Oh, no no it's nothing" Jennie quickly replied, embarrassed. "Good night."

Jisoo waited for a while. "You sure?"

Jennie nodded. She had to chase Jisoo out of the car as soon as possible lest the latter spotted her reddening cheeks.

"Shoo, shoo. It's late. See you tomorrow."

Three nights later, the same scene repeated itself at the foot of Jisoo's apartment. Jennie watched Jisoo unbuckle her seatbelt and reach for her backpack. The only difference was this time, Jisoo hugged her backpack and appeared a little awkward.

"Thank you for being so kind to send me home each time."

"My pleasure. After all, it is on the way home for me. I don't mind the company on my way home else I might just fall asleep."

Jisoo chuckled. "Yeah, you aren't nicknamed the Sleeping Beauty for no reason. You literally can fall asleep anywhere."

"Hey, it is tiring to rack my brains for the whole day. A girl needs her beauty sleep in order to look this good yah!" Jennie defended, pointing at herself.

"I definitely have no issues on the good-looking part," Jisoo grinned.

Did she just compliment me on my looks?? Jennie wondered.

While Jennie was lost in her thoughts, she felt something warm touching her cheek briefly. It took her a full three seconds to realize what had just happened.

"Thanks for the ride and good night," Jisoo said hurriedly before alighting in a flash.

"Hey," Jennie called out but the door had closed. She unbuckled her seatbelt quickly and got out of the car. She chased after Jisoo and managed to grab her wrist just as Jisoo finished entering her access code at the door.

Jennie spun Jisoo around and noticed how pink her cheeks were.

"Hey, you can't just kiss me like that and leave."

Jisoo raised a brow. "I can't?"

Jennie shook her head.

"Then what should..."

Before Jisoo could finish her question, Jennie pressed her lips against Jisoo's, silencing the former, her hands on either side of Jisoo's face.

"I need to kiss you back," Jennie said in a whisper, "else it wouldn't be fair."

Jisoo chuckled and gently gave Jennie a peck on the lips. "This could go on forever."

"I don't mind." The words slipped out of Jennie's mouth in an instant. "Let's date."

The corner of Jisoo's lips turned up to form a wide grin. "Most certainly."
