Chapter 2

I chuckled discreetly wiping my tear from the eyelid before it could slip. "I want to be happy with you..." I divulged.

She widened her eyes in stupefaction probably not accepting this so I continued. "Only if you want...." I put my hands up in submission like last night. "No pressure..." I grinned.

She parted her lips in wonder, "You don't have to do this for me I..."

"I'm not doing this for you..." I scoffed. "I'm doing this for me... I like kids and since you're my wife this is my kid too" 

For the first time in months since I first saw her she smiled. Jennie freaking smiled at me rendering butterflies to erupt in my stomach with dismay. It was a good kind of aching, it hurt but she smiled. I sucked in air memorizing how delicately she smiles or how her eyes squeezed in.

"Why are you doing this? You don't hav—" This time I cut her off.

I sighed, "Oh I know... 'why are you doing this? You don't have to do this, you can file for divorce and I'm not your responsibility. I don't want to burden you etc' I got it" I shrugged. 

I stood up stumbling onto my steps getting a cramp in it. She held onto my wrist inducing me to sit beside her close to her and my heart lept in a haste. Her eyes were looking into mine, she was looking at me which was enough to drive me crazy.

"Can we go home now?" I offered her my hand. 

She looked down at my hand and then at my face thinking and when she was about to hold my hand I pulled back my hand.

"Only if... you stop saying the divorce thing. I don't want it because... I like you" I confided.

She raised her brows, "Wh..."

"No! I guess I love you..." I offered her my hand again. "It's your choice... decide carefully because you would be forbidden to say divorce words and no I'm not pushing you to love me. If you want to have someone in your life you can be with them I'll help you but please don't cry... I don't like it."

I placed my other hand on my chest, "It's hurt here, I never felt this kind of pain for someone I barely know... Do you even know... I couldn't breathe. I mean how is it possible that I can't breathe seeing you in pain? So if you stay with me you are forbidden to cry too"

I didn't even realize when the tears rolled down my cheeks.

She bit her lower lip harbouring her sentiments as she placed her hand under my chin preserving my tears in her palm. "Aww... Do you like want me to get you a bucket?" she chuckled through tears.

We both laughed.

She took my hand.

****

We got home hand in hand and I texted Lisa some emergency had happened. Jennie have been staring at me for like an hour now from across the kitchen counter where I was cooking.

"What?" I lifted my brows at her.

"Nothing..." she smirked, oh my god does Jennie Kim smirk? It was kind of hot. "So you like me?" she questioned.

"Fuck!" 

I accidentally cut my finger while chopping the vegetables feeling my heart pounding badly forcing me to quiver as I put my finger in my mouth sucking it.

She ran up to me holding my hand for me, "Oh my god, sorry. First aid? Where is it?" she panicked darting around confounding.

She searched places everywhere for first aid and I leaned against the counter witnessing her stressing rendering my stomach to wrench in a good way. I couldn't believe that she was the same girl who told me to stay away from her or not talk to her.
