MINE

Sing for me

Lalisa's POV

It's been two days since the night that Jennie was suddenly vulnerable, and since then I've been trying to persuade her in doing things she doesn't want to do because of her late mom, as well as her friends. I'm glad I have people who I can rely on taking care of Jennie aside from her brother. The first thing that we did was to bake — ever since her mom died she's stopped doing things that remind her of her mom, but I'm thankful that I was able to convince her that the only way that her mom could continue to live even without her presence is to do things that she left of you, and one of them is baking. It was a disaster, at least for the others, Jennie and I were pretty decent since I've already loved baking since I was a kid. It was fun and I witnessed how Jennie became even lighter since then.

Since we are doing this slowly tho so Jennie won't be shocked, we weren't able to do the second one, which is to take her to perform. It's something big since I'm asking her to perform in front of everyone and she hasn't done that for so long so I'm not really sure if she'll say yes. Right now, we are hanging out in the open field of the campus. Everyone is doing their own thing; some is running around, making, taking pictures, and so much more whilst me and my friends are doing our own thing as well.

Nayeon is checking herself out on her phone which is pretty normal now, seulgi and Irene are running around together with bambam and taehyung, 'What a kid.' I chuckled at that thought. I looked at rose and jisoo who is pretty busy with their own world as well, I'm slowly being contented with what I have.

I looked down at the girl who captures my heart that is laying down on my lap while reading a book. I stopped playing with her hair that made her look at me with furrowed brows and that made me laugh.

"Tsk," She took my hand back her head, implying that I should continue what I was doing which I didn't. "Baby," She whined.

I laugh at her childishness. "Okay, okay. I was just teasing you." I said as I started rubbing her head again which made her heave a relieved sigh. "Hon," I called.

"Hm," She hummed whilst still reading.

"You love me right?" I asked that made her put her books down.

She looks at me in the eye like she's searching for something. "What kind of question is that? Is there something wrong?" She sat up from my lap and sat in front of me as she took my hands.

"No..." I shook my head. "Just answer me."

She chuckled. "Of course, I do. I don't know why you're asking when I have never stopped making you feel how much I do, but to answer your question. Yes, I love you. So much." She softly said and kissed me on my forehead.

"Since you love me," I held her hand tighter while she looks at me like she's waiting for what I am about to say next. "You would do anything I asked you to, right?"

She confusingly look at me now until her eyes suddenly went emotionless, making me scared. "Are you about to break up with me, lalisa?" I was shocked at the amount of coldness her voice has when she asked that.

I just laugh at that tho. "Baby, of course not." I caressed her cheeks. "I would never break up with you. I just wanna ask something from you."

She raised her left brow at me. 'She can be really intimidating.' "What is it?" She curiously asks.

"Promise me first you'd say yes."

"No," She scoffed at my statement. "You have to tell me first."

I pouted at that. "You can't do it for me." I sadly said that made her alarm. She immediately take my leg and put it around her waist that made me sit on her lap.

"Buuub," She softly caresses my cheeks while I put my arms on her nape. "I just can't say yes to something I don't have any idea about. Love, you know I'll do anything for you but I wanna make sure that it is something that I'll genuinely want to do for you rather than being forced to do it, just because you asked me to say yes first even before knowing what is it." She softly explain that made me pout even. I know she has a point and I am just being immature but I really want her to do it. "What is it, Anyway?"

"Iwantyoutosingforme."

"What? Babe... Say it slowly."

"I," I sighed to calm my nerves. " I want you... to sing."

I was just silently watching her after I said that. I'm seriously scared of how she would react to that, I mean she hasn't done this because she doesn't want to put herself in pain with the thought the one who taught her that is already gone, and to make things worse it has to be her mom.

Her eyes went from confused to flabbergasted, 'I knew she won't be able to,' I pouted a little look down at that thought. It's saddening but I totally understand if she's not ready for that step yet.

"Hey..." She made me look at her again, and I was stunned at how soft her eyes were while staring at mine. "Why the sudden request?"

I took a deep breath before I said my intentions were. "We've been trying to take a step by step of the things you couldn't do," I stopped myself to see if it's okay to mention it. "when your mom died." Her eyes change into something I can't decipher. "And I think it's time to do the next one." I finished.

"Me,

singing?" she confirmed.

"Hm." I nodded.

"It won't be that simple, I presumed. What else?"

'Is she actually considering this?' I bit my lip a little. "I want you to perform at the end of the intramural, at the Elithean music fest." I carefully said, just to let her know that it's okay to refuse.

"Love," She softly smiled at me. "You don't have to be nervous when asking me to do things for myself or even for you," I stared back at her beautiful eyes who's staring at me with so much love and care. "I can do anything, in my power to show you how much I want to be better, for you. Because you deserve that." She kissed my forehead and nuzzled her head into my neck.

I smiled. She never seizes to make me feel special and worth it. I know how much of a big step everything that we have been doing, and I am honestly in shock at how much she can do for me.

"I love you, hon."

"I love you, honey." I gave her a peck.

I am so excited to spend more moments with her. I think I am slowly getting better, and I am glad that Jennie too.
