Today I Met The Girl I'm Going To Marry | jensoo

Chapter 60

Thank you!

Who knew Hanbin would turn out to be such an ally?

"I've been through a lot since I moved to L.A. and before that as well." Jennie shifts around on the chair and it's clear that she isn't a fan of talking about herself. "But my luck seems to have changed for the better when I met Jisoo." I duck my head at Jennie's words as my heart swells with love. Jennie's sweetness always turns me into a pile of mush. "And I, uh, wanted to dedicate this song to her."

Oh my god!

My own personal dedication!

My first, of what I hope to be many, from Jennie.

Hearing her sing never gets old.

And knowing this ditty is for me makes me even more excited.

I'm impressed that she's doing this with so many people present and that she said all those incredible words when I know she's not a fan of wearing her heart on her sleeve.

Jennie begins to play and any trace of nerves she might have had before, vanish.

The instant her fingers touched the strings of my dad's guitar she transformed into another person.

It's pretty amazing to see how she went from completely out of her comfort zone to someone who oozes confidence.

Just another reason why I know that having a career as a musician is Jennie's destiny.

As soon as Jennie opens her mouth to belt out the first lyric of the song she's playing for me, all my attention and focus goes to her.

I disregard everything else.

My eyes stay on her soulful brown ones and the only thing I hear is my thumping heart and Jennie's beautiful voice.

I was drowning in deception
Awake in a nightmare

I feel a pang in my chest.

Each note and each word stings.

I know Jennie's referring to herself.

I was searching for something
Or someone to show me they care

Even though we've talked about Jennie's past in bits and pieces, loneliness and pain are two themes that came out in those discussions.

I've tried so hard to erase those feelings from her mind and her heart.

I know they will fade with each moment and day we spend together.

But I wish that time was now, so Jennie doesn't have to hurt anymore.

And then she came along
Helped me sing a different song

Oh god!

Is she singing about me?

I give my head a shake to stop myself from thinking.

What I need to do now is listen.

What I need to feel is her, and our love.

With her brown hair and brown eyes
She saw the truth in my lies

Oh god!

I can't help it.

She is singing about me!

And about us.

She saw the truth in my lies

My chest constricts.

My throat dries up.

My eyes water.

My body trembles
