@ace_of_hearts23: The rain had just stopped, leaving the cobblestone paths of Seoul National University glistening under the soft morning sun. Lisa walked slowly, her hand intertwined with Jennie’s. She was wearing a faded, oversized hoodie—one of three she owned—and her shoes showed the faint wear of someone who sprinted between classes, a convenience store shift, a restaurant job, and late-night tutoring just to keep a roof over her head and pay for her meals. ‎ ‎Jennie, effortlessly stunning in a tailored designer coat, leaned into Lisa’s side. As they reached Jennie’s building, Lisa stopped, looking down at their joined hands. A familiar shadow of doubt crossed her face. ‎ ‎She leaned in, her voice dropping to a vulnerable whisper against Jennie’s ear. "Jennie... remember, I’m just poor. Just poor. I have nothing to offer you." ‎ ‎Jennie pulled back slightly, her cat-like eyes softening with fierce tenderness. She cupped Lisa’s cheek, her thumb gently wiping away the worry line on Lisa’s forehead. "And I love you," Jennie said softly, her voice steady and full of conviction. ‎ ‎"That’s all that matters. Don’t ever forget that, Lalisa." ‎She kissed Lisa softly before turning to head inside, leaving Lisa standing there with a heart full of warmth that momentarily pushed away the weight of the world. ‎The warmth never lasted long outside of Jennie's sight. ‎ ‎Later that afternoon, near the quiet side of the university library, Kai—a wealthy heir and Jennie’s long-standing suitor—cornered Lisa. Flanked by two of his friends, Kai smirked as he looked Lisa up and down, dropping a heavy stack of textbooks onto the ground at her feet. ‎ ‎"Pick those up, scholarship charity case," Kai sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. ‎ "You really think someone like you belongs in Jennie’s world? You smell like cheap instant noodles and dish soap. You’re just a parasite leeching off her kindness." ‎ ‎Lisa kept her hands clenched in her pockets, her jaw tight. She didn't fight back. She couldn't afford a fight; a single strike on her record meant losing her scholarship, and losing her scholarship meant starving on the streets. Kai shoved her shoulder hard against the brick wall before walking away, laughing with his friends. ‎ ‎Jennie never saw these moments. Lisa made sure of it. She buried the bruises, the cruel remarks, and the suffocating feeling of inadequacy deep inside her chest, putting on a brave smile every time Jennie walked into the room. But inside, Lisa was slowly breaking into pieces. ‎ ‎A few months later came their one-year anniversary. Jennie had insisted on bringing Lisa to her family’s massive estate on the outskirts of Seoul. The grand marble pillars and towering glass windows made Lisa feel smaller than ever, but she held Jennie’s hand tightly as they walked inside. ‎ ‎"Wait here in the sala, okay?Jennie smiled warmly, squeezing Lisa's hand. "I left your anniversary gift upstairs. I’ll be right back!" ‎ ‎"Okay," Lisa said, offering a faint smile as Jennie disappeared up the grand staircase. ‎ ‎Lisa stood awkwardly in the middle of the opulent room, feeling entirely out of place. Before she could process the surroundings, heavy footsteps echoed across the marble floor. Jennie’s parents walked in, dressed flawlessly, their eyes instantly locking onto Lisa with cold evaluation. ‎ ‎"So, you’re the orphan girl Jennie keeps talking about," Jennie’s father said, his voice clipped and distant. He didn't offer a chair or a greeting. ‎ ‎"Good evening, sir, ma'am," Lisa bowed deeply, trying to keep her voice steady. ‎Jennie’s mother took a slow step forward, looking at Lisa with pity mixed with stern disapproval. "Let’s be direct, Lisa. You are a scholarship student working odd jobs just to survive. You have no family, no background, and no future that aligns with ours. You are simply not right for our daughter. You are a nobody." ! continuation in the comment section! #jenlisa_story #jenlisa‎
