《Mondays (Jensoo Convert)》"My prom is wherever you are."
Advertisement
Jisoo watched as her friends took pictures with their lovely dresses and dates on her front yard, a faint smile written on her face. It was Prom day and everyone looked beautiful. Her eyes, however, were solely drawn to one in a particular. She stared at Jennie adoringly, admiring how the girl appeared so beautiful in such a simple way.
The brunette wore a classy white champagne colored, strapless dress that hugged her torso perfectly and flowed elegantly to the ground. Her hair was curled loosely and fell flawlessly on her face, the sides pinned securely. She reminded Jisoo of a modern princess.
It saddened her that she couldn't join Jennie on this special day but she knew how much it meant to Jennie. She looked down at the clear plastic box she held in her hands. The assortment of small white roses and beads mixed with ribbons to top it off sat in the container. It was the exact arrangement Jennie had told her two years ago. She didn't know if she'd ever had the chance to actually be the one to hand it to her.
Jennie beamed widely at the cameras. She couldn't believe it was the day; the day she had slowly been counting down to. She had everything she dreamed of: her dress, her hair, her makeup... everything except her date. She averted her gaze from the cameras to the dark haired girl standing by the door just in time as Jisoo lifted her head up. Their eyes locked and Jennie's smile fell.
"Chu! Come take pictures with us!" Rosé waved over the other girl but Jisoo dismissed the offer.
Instead the dark haired beauty made her way towards Jennie. She took out the corsage from its container and strolled next to her.
Lisa did a double take when she caught a glimpse of the corsage from the corner of her eye. She squealed in excitement and slapped Rosé repetitively on the girl's arm.
"Nini..." Jisoo ignored the flashes and clicks of the cameras. She had a crooked smile etched on her face as she spoke to the brunette facing her. "You look beautiful."
"Thanks." Jennie replied shyly.
"Can I?" Jisoo held up the corsage, never breaking her gaze upon the other girl. Jennie nodded timidly and fixed her eyes on her wrist as Jisoo slipped in the corsage.
"It's beautiful, Chu." Jennie twisted her wrist and examined the design of different flowers perched on it.
"Only the best for you..."
Jennie blushed.
"Hey, the limo's here." Rosé placed a hand on Jennie's shoulder to get her attention. She looked over to Jisoo and flashed a sad smile. "We'll miss you there, Chu."
"Have fun. Don't worry about me." Jisoo assured.
Yeri went ahead in the limo with Lisa and Rosé behind them. Jisoo helped Jennie walk to the vehicle by picking up parts of her dress that brushed the ground and held onto the smaller girl to help her balance.

When they reached the car, Jisoo let the dress go but kept a firm grip on Jennie's waist. She pulled Jennie closer to her and leaned over.
"Save me a dance, will ya?" The older girl husked by the brunette's ear.
"Always."

The dinner went well. Everyone played nice with each other, even Jennie with Nayeon. Jisoo was happy seeing everyone she loved being friendly and coexisting in harmony. The only part that gave the meal an awkward edge was when Nayeon talked about prom plans. She quickly apologized for bringing it up after receiving uncomfortable stares from the girls and Jisoo'sfamily.
She had no clue that it was a touchy subject for the brown-eyed girl and her teammates. No one had really brought it up after the accident. They just all assumed that Jisoo wasn't going so they left it at that, which was partially accurate since there was no way Jennie was letting Jisoo go.
Eventually, all the girls left one by one except Jennie. The brunette wanted to talk to Jisoo about Saturday. She couldn't postpone it any longer. So there she was in her teammate's room, staring absentmindedly at her wall filled with photos. She was trying to figure out how to approach it as gently as possible.
"Nini, movie's playing downstairs." Jisoo walked in with only a bra and sports shorts on. She wanted to freshen up before watching a movie with the family so she took a shower.
Jennie turned around and clamped her eyes shut in a flash when she saw Jisoo's lack of clothing.
"WARN ME!" The brunette squeaked as sheraised her arm up to cover her eyes. A low raspy chuckle echoed in the room.
"Jennie, I'm not naked. You've seen me change before. Stop being so dramatic." Jisoo rolled her eyes playfully as she dug through her drawers for a clean shirt. She settled on a black Artic Monkeys shirt that Jennie had gotten her as a birthday present the year before.
"I'm not being dramatic!" Jennie countered, her arm still on her eyes. "Do you have a shirt on now?"
Jisoo put her shirt on and walked towards the smaller girl. She kindly placed her hand on Jennie's arm and brought it down.
"Hi." The pale girl whispered.
"Hey." Jennie responded.
"You want to watch the movie or continue toget lost in each other's eyes?" Jisoo retorted smoothly. She nodded her head off to the doorway and began to pull Jennie by the arm but the other girl had different plans.
"Chu... I- um, can we talk for a minute?" The brown-eyed girl asked nervously.
"Yeah, sure. What's up?" Jisoo moved closer to Jennie and tilted her head as she waited for her to speak.
"It's about prom."
The pale girl frowned. "What about it?"
Jennie took a deep breath in and thought it was now or never. "Your mom said that the doctor recommended you to stay home for the weekend, that means you'd be missing prom." She waited for a reaction from Jisoo but the girl had a blank expression and decided to continue. "Which means... I'm not going to prom either."

And that's when Jennie got Jisoo's attention.
"Woah, Jendeukie. No. I will be missing prom." Jisoo stated. "But you. You are going."
"Jisoo, I'm not going without you."
"Yes, you are."
"You're my gir-... date." Jennie cleared her throat. "You're my date."
The older girl arched an eyebrow at Jennie's almost slip up. "You're going Jennie. End of discussion."
"Chu..." Jennie protested.
"This is the night you've been dreaming of Jendeukie. And I'm not going to be the reason you don't go." Jisoo sighed. She lookedJennie in the eyes and grabbed her hand. "It's okay. I'll be alright. I want you to go. Be with our friends and dance the night away."
"It won't be the same without you." Jennie hummed, bowing her head down.
Jisoo cupped the girl's face to level their gazes."I wasn't in your plans before, remember? You don't need me there."
"But you're in it now." The shorter girl argued. She launched herself onto Jisoo and hugged her tightly. "I want you there."
Jisoo winced at the brisk impact but hid the pain.Her chest was bruised but she didn't want Jennie to worry about her more. Instead, she wrapped her arms around the girl and rested her chin on top of Jennie's head.
"Tell you what. How about you guys take pictures here... that way I can see you in you're beautiful dress and makeup and hair." Jennie laughed lightly making Jisoo smile. "And I can give you the corsage I ordered for you."
The brown-eyed girl lifted her head. "You got me a corsage?"
Jisoo looked down. "Of course I did."
"Is it the one I wanted?" Jennie asked jokingly as she raised an eyebrow.
"Guess you'll just have to find out."
"You really want me to go?"
"Please. Do it for me AND for you."
The dark haired girl pulled away and shot Jennie a knowing look. Jennie grinned and bit her lip before nodding her head slowly.
"Great!" Jisoo said happily. "Is that all you wanted to talk about?"
"Ummm actually I wan-" The brunette wanted to confirm her relationship with Jisoo. She didn't want to dance around it anymore but it seemed like there was no perfect time to tell the other girl.
"MOVIE STARTING!" Jiyoon screamed from the living room. Jisoo craned her head over to her door.
"OKAY!" She yelled before turning back to Jennie. "Can we talk about it later?"
"Sure."

It was Saturday night and Jisoo sat cross-legged in front of her TV munching on some popcorn as she watched episodes of Vampire Dairies. She was bored out of her mind she wanted to be with her friends at Prom. She wanted to dance. She wanted to make memories. But most of all, she wanted to do it all with her favorite girl.
"God, Elena... make up your fucking mind." Jisoo muttered at the television. "PICK DAMON! NO! not- Fuck. You're an idiot." She threw some popcorn at the screen and shook her head disapprovingly.
She rolled her eyes and pulled out her phone. She went through her Instagram feed and saw pictures of everyone at the prom venue looking all nice and sleek. Feeling generous, she double tapped every picture she stumbled upon with the hashtag: Prom2K14. Though, one particular picture made her hair rise.
The picture was with Irene next to Jennie, acting all cozied up and smiley. The cheerleader wore a gorgeous black gown with sparkling beads embedded around her tiny waist. Her hair was straightened and tied in a half pony. With Jennie in a white gown, they looked perfect together. It was captioned: My ying to my yang. Jisoo gagged when she read it.
She immediately shut her phone off knowing that staring at those pictures will only make her even more upset than she already is. The one time Jennie finally ask her to go somewhere as something more than friends, she just had to get into an accident. And worst of all, Irene happened to look breathtaking and available.
She opened her phone again and stared at the picture of the two girls wanting to get a second glance. She scoffed and turned it off again, throwing it behind her to hinder temptation.
The athlete tried to focus back on the show but the image of Jennie and Irene bore itself in her memory. She was about to call it a night, when suddenly her doorbell rang. She furrowed her eyebrows andchecked the time on the TV screen. It was 8:45, her family was out and she wasn't expecting anyone.
Jisoo trudged to her door and pulled it wide openrevealing a petite girl standing awkwardly with her hands behind her and a skewed smile planted on her lips.
"Jennie?" She breathed out of shock.
"Hey..." The brown-eyed girl gave a small wave.
"W-what are you doing here?" Jisoo gaped still surprise to see the fully gowned brunette. "You're supposed to be at prom."
Jennie only shrugged. "I got bored."
"No shit." Jisoo crossed her arms and arched an eyebrow.
The brown-eyed girl played with her bottom lip as she tried to formulate an acceptable response. "Remember that time you skipped your surprise party at Yeri's to help me with the Irene shit..." Jisoo bobbed her head when she recalled that moment. It was about a month ago but she still remembered it clearly since the small girl never let her live it down for skipping out. "Well, you told me you chose to stay with me. Jisoo now I'm choosing to stay with you."
Jennie raised her hands from behind her and displayed two plastic bags filled with ice cream and candy.

Dungeon Scholar
Girl meets dungeon. What could go right? A story of a good-hearted Scholar driven by her compassion and curiosity. She might be a little combat averse, but um, isn't that only logical? Love me a good grimdark, but sometimes I want to read feel-good fiction that isn't pure action, romance, or comedy. The plot and characters of Dungeon Scholar won't be all happy and fluffy, and the world will be more dungeons and monsters than rainbows and puppies, but overall the sweet moments should overshadow the bitter. Let's say three dollops of sugar for every pinch of salt, with lemon slices left on the saucers? Enjoy. Note: This is NOT a typical dungeon story. If you are here for the dungeon aspect, then fair warning this will seem incredibly slow-burn to you. The dungeon will eventually become the most important 'character,' arguably, or the second-most important narratively, but you might jump out the window in frustration long before that happens. At its heart, the story's core remains 'girl meets dungeon,' not 'dungeon meets world.' (To be clear, this does or will have a plot! It's just the more conventional story-like elements contribute to Rowena Loress's greater story, not the other way around; no conflict takes center stage until it becomes personally significant to her. Meanwhile, have some Slice of Life.) Updates every Friday Cover made using Waifulabs Written using 4thewords (referral code: UZJRY55368)
