Book 2 – Chapter 5: The First College Challenge

The first day of college was supposed to be normal.

Keyword:

Supposed to.

⸻

After the whole “Felix’s definitely-not-girlfriend” drama, everyone walked toward their classes.

⸻

Jennie walked ahead of everyone.

Her sleek dark bob moved with every step, and her black jacket, silver accessories, baggy jeans, and boots made her look like she belonged on a magazine cover instead of a college campus.

⸻

Lisa looked at her.

“Okay, I have to admit.”

Jennie looked back.

“What?”

“Your entrance was dramatic.”

“I walked.”

“You walked like the hallway belonged to you.”

Jennie shrugged.

“Maybe it did.”

⸻

Jisoo laughed.

Her long blonde hair with lavender-pink ends moved as she walked.

“She hasn’t changed.”

Rosé smiled.

Her black hair fell over her shoulders.

“She just got more confident.”

⸻

Behind them…

Felix was quiet.

Very quiet.

⸻

Han noticed immediately.

His black hair with blue tips fell over his forehead as he looked at Felix.

“You’re thinking.”

Felix looked at him.

“No I’m not.”

“You are.”

“No.”

“You have your thinking face.”

“I have a face.”

“Exactly.”

⸻

Hyunjin walked beside them, his red-tipped hair catching the sunlight.

“He is thinking about Jennie.”

Felix stopped.

“What?”

Everyone looked at him.

⸻

Felix sighed.

“She just surprised me, okay?”

Han smiled.

“Because she looks different?”

“Yes.”

“Because she’s more confident?”

“Maybe.”

“Because she roasted someone in less than five minutes?”

Felix paused.

“…Also yes.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

“An iconic return.”

⸻

Meanwhile…

Jennie had already found her classroom.

⸻

She sat down and opened her laptop.

New college.

New classes.

New challenges.

⸻

Then the professor walked in.

“Before we begin, I have an announcement.”

Everyone looked up.

⸻

“This semester, we will have a major creative competition.”

⸻

Jennie’s eyes immediately lit up.

⸻

“The winning team will perform at the biggest college showcase of the year.”

⸻

Lisa looked at Jennie.

“Oh no.”

Jennie smiled.

“What?”

“Your DJ face.”

“What about it?”

“It means you are about to become terrifying.”

⸻

The professor continued.

“You will work in teams.”

⸻

Jennie froze.

No.

Please no.

⸻

The teams appeared on the screen.

⸻

Team One: Jennie, Felix, Lisa, Han, Rosé, Jisoo, Hyunjin.

⸻

Silence.

⸻

Jennie stared.

Felix stared.

Everyone stared.

⸻

Han immediately laughed.

“THE SCHOOL IS STILL TRYING TO FORCE YOU TWO TOGETHER.”

⸻

Jennie pointed at him.

“Stop talking.”

“I can’t.”

“Why?”

“Because it’s funny.”

⸻

Felix looked at Jennie.

“So…”

“So.”

“Looks like we’re working together again.”

⸻

Jennie sighed.

“Of course.”

⸻

Felix smiled.

“You missed me.”

“No.”

“You answered too fast.”

“Because the answer was obvious.”

⸻

The whole group laughed.

⸻

After class, they met in the library.

⸻

The assignment was simple:

Create something that represents who they were.

⸻

Everyone had ideas.

Lisa wanted fashion.

Rosé wanted music.

Jisoo wanted visuals.

Han wanted something “legendary.”

Nobody knew what that meant.

⸻

Hyunjin wrote down:

“An artistic experience.”

Everyone stared.

⸻

Jennie looked at Felix.

“Translate.”

Felix laughed.

“He means something dramatic.”

Hyunjin nodded.

“Exactly.”

⸻

Then everyone looked at Jennie.

“What about you?”

⸻

Jennie thought.

A year ago…

She would have said she didn’t care.

But now?

She smiled.

⸻

“Music.”

⸻

Felix looked at her.

“You already knew that.”

“Yeah.”

“Then why did you think so long?”

Jennie shrugged.

“Because this time…”

She looked around at everyone.

“I don’t want it to just be my thing.”

⸻

Everyone smiled.

⸻

Felix noticed.

The old Jennie was still there.

The roast queen.

The DJ.

The girl who never backed down.

But now…

She let people in.

⸻

Han suddenly ruined the moment.

“So basically we’re making a masterpiece.”

Jennie looked at him.

“Don’t say masterpiece.”

“Why?”

“Because now you think you’re an artist.”

“I am.”

“You are a problem.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

And as they started planning their first college project…

Nobody noticed the competition poster hanging outside the room.

⸻

COLLEGE SHOWCASE CHALLENGE

WINNER GETS A CHANCE TO PERFORM ON THE MAIN STAGE.

⸻

Jennie looked at it.

A spark appeared in her eyes.

⸻

The DJ queen was back.

And this time…

She had a whole team behind her.
Photo 1 then pulls up to the college campus. And steps out of a BMW and looks at the college and the college students. 

Photo 1 is wearing a black sweatshirt with a white big white rose in the front, black jeans, and white Nike Air Force’s. 

Photo 1 has a very serious expression while looking at all the other happy students and sighs and “says let’s get this shit over with”

Photo 1 then begins to walk up the college steps with a black suitcase.
Chapter 38 – The Dream College Letters

The day everyone had been waiting for finally arrived.

College acceptance day.

⸻

The dorm was more chaotic than usual.

Which was impressive.

⸻

Jennie sat on the couch staring at her laptop.

Her blonde hair was tied in a loose ponytail, and she wore an oversized black hoodie, baggy jeans, and sneakers.

She looked calm.

Too calm.

Felix noticed.

“You’ve been staring at that screen for ten minutes.”

“I’m thinking.”

“About?”

“Whether I should open it.”

Felix blinked.

“It’s an email.”

“It’s an important email.”

“You’re scared of an email?”

Jennie looked at him.

“I’m scared of disappointment.”

For once…

Felix didn’t tease her.

⸻

“You worked hard.”

She looked at him.

“You know that, right?”

Jennie smiled slightly.

“You’re being nice again.”

“Don’t get used to it.”

She smirked.

“Too late.”

⸻

Then…

Han ran into the room.

His brown hair was completely messy, and he wore his green hoodie and jeans.

“I GOT IN!”

Everyone jumped.

⸻

Lisa looked up.

Her ash-blonde hair with bangs was tied back, and she wore a black jacket and cargo pants.

“Han, you scared me.”

“I couldn’t contain my greatness.”

Jisoo walked in behind him.

Her red hair was neatly styled, and she wore a cream sweater with black pants.

“You mean you couldn’t contain your screaming.”

“Same thing.”

⸻

Rosé opened her email next.

Her lavender hair fell over her shoulders as she smiled.

“I got in too.”

Everyone cheered.

⸻

Hyunjin dramatically held his phone.

His blond hair was perfectly styled, and he wore a black sweater with layered accessories.

“I have received my destiny.”

Han looked over.

“Just say you got accepted.”

“I was being dramatic.”

“We know.”

⸻

One by one…

The letters came in.

⸻

Lisa got accepted into her dream program.

Rosé got accepted into her dream music college.

Jisoo got accepted into her dream university.

Han got accepted into the college he wanted, even after everyone doubted his ability to stay focused.

Hyunjin got accepted into his dream arts program.

⸻

Finally…

Everyone looked at Jennie and Felix.

⸻

Felix opened his first.

He stared.

Then smiled.

“I got in.”

Everyone cheered.

⸻

Jennie smiled.

“Of course you did, basketball boy.”

Felix looked at her.

“That’s your congratulations?”

“Yes.”

“Wow.”

“You expected something else?”

“Maybe.”

“Too bad.”

⸻

Then Jennie opened hers.

Silence.

⸻

She read the email.

Her eyes widened.

Felix noticed.

“Jennie?”

She looked up.

“I got in.”

⸻

The room exploded.

⸻

Han screamed.

Lisa hugged her.

Rosé started cheering.

Jisoo smiled proudly.

Hyunjin declared:

“This is the beginning of a new era.”

⸻

Felix smiled the biggest.

“You did it.”

Jennie looked at everyone.

She wasn’t usually emotional.

But this time…

She was.

⸻

“I actually did it.”

Felix nodded.

“You did.”

⸻

Later that evening…

Everyone celebrated.

There was food everywhere.

Music playing.

Pictures being taken.

⸻

Han held up his phone.

“Group picture!”

Everyone gathered.

⸻

Jennie stood beside Felix.

Han looked at them.

“Move closer.”

“No.”

“Yes.”

“We’re already standing next to each other.”

“Not enough.”

⸻

Lisa laughed.

“Han, stop forcing moments.”

“I am creating memories.”

⸻

The photo was taken.

Everyone laughing.

Everyone smiling.

⸻

Afterward…

Jennie looked at the picture.

A year ago…

She didn’t know any of them.

She thought Felix was just a popular athlete.

He thought she was just a cold DJ who insulted everyone.

Now…

They were family.

⸻

Felix looked at the photo.

“Ready for college?”

Jennie shrugged.

“Maybe.”

“Maybe?”

“I’m ready.”

She smiled.

“But don’t think college means you escape my roasts.”

Felix laughed.

“I knew there was a catch.”

⸻

The future was changing.

New schools.

New challenges.

New chapters.

But one thing was certain…

Wherever they went…

The chaos would follow.
Parallel world, Huaxia Dragon Kingdom, outside the gates of Modu University.
The July breeze, carrying a hint of laziness, brushed past gently, announcing the arrival of the graduation season.
Qin Yi, dressed in a black bachelor’s gown with a gray collar, held a bouquet of bright roses in his hands, seemingly unafraid of the scorching sun and indifferent to the countless curious or mocking gazes around him.
His eyes were filled with a complex mix of apprehension and expectation, as if he were waiting for an unknown judgment.
His gaze was locked on the school gate, silently counting the time in his heart, waiting for that familiar yet strange figure to appear.
“Qin Yi, you have to promise me. When we graduate, we’ll wear our bachelor’s gowns together and take a commemorative photo at the school gate. You also have to prepare a big bouquet of roses for me, and then...”
Memories flooded back like a tide, as those beautiful times spent with Su Mo replayed in Qin Yi’s mind like a movie.
A smile unconsciously tugged at the corners of his mouth; those were the sweet memories that belonged to them.
However, beautiful memories are always fleeting.
A month ago, Su Mo suddenly initiated a breakup, without any warning or explanation.
Her words were like a sharp knife, stabbing deeply into Qin Yi’s heart.
“Qin Yi, thank you for taking care of me these past three years and giving me a carefree time in university.”
“I used to hear people say that love in university has no results. Breaking up upon graduation is a curse that no one can escape.”
“Back then, I didn’t believe it. I thought you were my Prince Charming. I once dreamed that we would be together forever, from the campus to marriage...”
“But only now do I understand that I was wrong, completely wrong!”
“Love without material substance is like a handful of sand; it doesn’t even need the wind to blow, it just scatters after a few steps.”
“So, Qin Yi, you understand what I mean. Let go! If you still love me, don’t come looking for me again.”
“For the rest of my life, it will no longer be you!”
“Don’t miss me! Don’t reply!”
These were the last few words Su Mo had left for Qin Yi on WeChat.
Since then, the WeChat chat box between Qin Yi and Su Mo was filled with nothing but one red exclamation mark after another.
Today is July 1st, the day the graduates of Modu University leave the campus.
Qin Yi had taken an overnight green-skinned train from his hometown of Jingnan to Modu, just to fulfill that original promise.
However, the moment he stood at the school gate, he realized how foolish and ridiculous he was.
...
At ten o’clock in the morning, it was exceptionally lively outside the gates of Modu University.
Students dragged their suitcases out of the campus in an endless stream, their faces filled with expectation for the future and reluctance to leave the past.
Among the crowd, a young man in a bachelor’s gown was particularly eye-catching; he was Qin Yi.
Although the air was thick with the humidity and sweltering heat of the Plum Rain Season, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the onlookers.
They gathered in small groups, their gazes focused on Qin Yi, as whispers rose and fell.
“Hey, look at that guy. Isn’t that Qin Yi, the influential figure from our School of Economics?” a girl wearing glasses pointed at Qin Yi curiously and asked the classmate next to her.
“Yes, yes, I remember now, it’s him!” a boy nearby added.
“So it’s him. Why is he back now? Didn’t he have his graduation delayed?” a short-haired girl said curiously.
“Delayed graduation? Why?”
“Cough, you guys don’t know yet? It’s all over the school forum! They say Qin Yi’s family business ran into trouble and they owe a lot of money. Creditors go to his house every few days to demand payment. I heard that a while ago, his dad was even kidnapped by loan sharks and tortured quite badly...” a well-informed student said in a low voice.
“Then he still dares to put on such a big show here? Isn’t he afraid the creditors will come knocking?” a tall boy joked.
“Who knows, maybe he’s here for one last meeting. I heard that he and Su Mo, the department beauty of the Music Academy, have been dating since their sophomore year. Now Su Mo is really in the spotlight; I wonder if she’ll despise him.” a girl whispered.
“Despise him? That’s for sure! If it were me, I would have said goodbye to him long ago. What’s the point of dating without money? It’s just a waste of youth,” a fashionably dressed girl said disdainfully.
“Not necessarily. Maybe Su Mo is someone who values feelings. After all, they’ve been together for so long; there’s an emotional foundation,” a seemingly innocent girl defended Qin Yi.
“Feelings? In this realistic society, can feelings put food on the table? Just wait and see, Su Mo will definitely break up with him,” a boy wearing headphones asserted coldly.
The onlookers discussed fervently, each expressing their own opinions.
Some sympathized with Qin Yi’s plight, while others sneered at his behavior.
...
Listening to the discussions around him, Qin Yi’s heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer. He silently lowered his eyes, and the bouquet of roses in his hand swayed gently in the breeze, as if also recounting his loneliness and helplessness...
Yeah, what am I doing back here?
Ever since the family business met its Waterloo, those relatives who used to be so warm and welcoming have stayed away as if avoiding a plague, fearing they would be dragged into the turmoil.
Come to think of it, Su Mo probably broke up with me for the same reason.
Just as Qin Yi was torn in his heart about whether he should quietly leave, another commotion arose in the crowd...
“Hey, hey, the main character is out! Want to bet? I bet the great department beauty Su will definitely break up with this kid! How about the loser treats everyone?”
“A bet’s a bet. I bet Su Mo will stay loyal. After all, it’s a three-year relationship; it can’t just end like that...”
...
Qin Yi took a deep breath, summoned his courage, and looked up toward the school gate.
Su Mo’s figure came into view. She was still radiant, with exquisite makeup and a charming smile. Her white lace dress fluttered gently in the wind, like a blooming white lotus.
“Mo...”
The words reached his lips, but Qin Yi forced them back down.
Only because of the look Su Mo had just given him.
When Su Mo saw Qin Yi, the smile on her face instantly froze, replaced by undisguised disdain and disgust.
However, her gaze only lingered on Qin Yi’s face for a brief moment before immediately moving past him to look at the street behind him, her eyes filled with a bit of panic, as if she were worried about being seen by someone.
A moment later, as if a weight had been lifted, Su Mo shifted her gaze back to Qin Yi and walked quickly toward him, her high heels making a crisp “da-da” sound against the ground.
“What are you doing here! Didn’t I tell you everything on WeChat?! Can’t you understand? Do I really have to break up with you in person? Fine! Then I’ll tell you one more time! We’ve broken up! Acting like this now only makes me look down on you even more!”
Su Mo’s tone was full of disdain and mockery, as if having Qin Yi as an ex was a very shameful thing.
The surrounding crowd began to whisper, and the sound of discussion rose and fell.
“See, I told you. How could Su Mo still be interested in this fallen Rich Second Generation?”
“Sigh, Qin Yi is just asking for trouble. Knowing what kind of person Su Mo is, he still had to pull this stunt.”
“I get it, Qin Yi just can’t let go... I heard that when this department beauty Su was dating Qin Yi, she made him spend quite a bit of money on her... Now that Qin Yi’s family is bankrupt, she wants to break up... That’s really heartless!”
“I don’t like hearing that. How can you say it’s heartless? Haven’t you heard the saying, ’Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, but they fly their separate ways when disaster strikes’? If it’s like that for married couples, let alone just a pair of lovers.”
“Sigh, yeah. Who would want to be saddled with a mountain of debt right after graduation...”
...
Qin Yi’s throat moved as he gripped the bouquet of roses tightly. He knew he was in a wretched state right now, but he still summoned the courage to hand the bouquet to Su Mo.
“Momo, do you still remember the promise you made to me when we first started dating?”
Hearing this, Su Mo’s expression froze slightly, and a ripple of emotion stirred deep in her heart.
“You said that when we graduate, you wanted me to prepare a bouquet of roses for you, and we would wear our bachelor’s gowns together...”
However, before Qin Yi could finish, he was interrupted by Su Mo’s impatient wave of her hand.
“Qin Yi, stop deceiving yourself! You think doing this will make me change my mind? I’m telling you, it’s impossible! We’ve already broken up. To me, you are nothing now!”
“Momo, I didn’t come here today to pester you. I just wanted to fulfill our promise and put a full stop to this relationship.” Qin Yi’s voice was a bit choked.
But Su Mo interrupted him impatiently: “Qin Yi, you are truly laughably naive! Do you think doing this can win me back? I’m telling you, it’s over between us! You have nothing now; what do you have to love me with? Just your words?”
Qin Yi’s heart felt as if it had been pierced by a sharp blade. He was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly: “Momo, I know I have nothing right now, but I believe I will stand up again. Give me a little time, and I will prove to you that I, Qin Yi, am not someone who only speaks empty words.”
Su Mo shook her head coldly: “Qin Yi, stop dreaming! Besides, I’ve already found a new partner; his family background is better than yours, and he’s richer than you. My life now is something you can’t even imagine. So, please don’t show up in front of me again. From now on, we are strangers!”
Although Qin Yi had already had a premonition, when these cold and heartless words came out of Su Mo’s mouth, he still felt as if he had been struck by a ruthless heavy hammer. The last faint glimmer of hope in his heart shattered, and it felt as if something had split open in his chest, the pain making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
The bouquet of roses that he had been holding tightly now seemed to have lost all its vitality, the petals drooping as if also mourning for this lost relationship.
The onlookers also began to chime in with their discussions.
“Those words are a bit too much. After all, they were together for three years; there’s no need to be so harsh.” Someone said indignantly.
“Yeah, I really didn’t expect that Su Mo, who usually looks so gentle and harmless, would say such hurtful words.” Someone shook their head and sighed.
“This is a typical ’Green Tea’; she acts pure and harmless on the surface, but in reality, she’s very calculating.” Someone commented disdainfully.
“Sigh, Qin Yi is really pitiful. Being hurt by someone like that, I’m afraid it’ll be hard for him to believe in love again.” Someone sighed sympathetically.
“Sigh, sweet words when there’s money, but turning cold and heartless when there’s none.” Someone lamented indignantly.
Accused by those around her, Su Mo’s expression gradually became awkward. Her gaze toward Qin Yi, beyond disdain, now held a few more hints of disgust.
Just as the atmosphere was about to reach a freezing point, a sharp car horn pierced the silence, drawing everyone’s attention.
“Beep, beep, beep—”
Everyone turned their heads to see a dazzling yellow sports car speeding over like a shooting star, coming to a steady stop on the street not far away.
The sports car had sleek lines and a dazzling luster. The scissor doors slowly rose, and a man wearing sunglasses stepped out with a flourish.
“Wow, a sports car! So cool!”
“Oh my god, isn’t that the latest Maserati MC20? I heard it costs over three million to get one!”
“Holy crap, for real? That expensive?!”
“The guy in sunglasses is so handsome, such a strong aura. He’s totally my ideal type!”
“He seems to be looking at me... Should I go up and strike up a conversation?”
...
The onlookers instantly erupted into a frenzy. Emotions of envy, jealousy, and desire intertwined, forming an indescribable atmosphere.
Su Mo’s gaze also shifted away from Qin Yi. When she saw the man in sunglasses walking toward her, her eyes immediately shimmered with a gentle light.
Qin Yi watched this, feeling a sharp pang in his heart.
Once upon a time, Su Mo used to look at him with such tenderness...
Just as the man in sunglasses was about to reach Su Mo, she suddenly lowered her voice and said angrily to Qin Yi, “Qin Yi! Leave quickly. If you don’t care about your Face, I still care about mine!”
No sooner had she spoken than the man in sunglasses stood before her.
He glanced at Qin Yi, a mocking curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
What happened next left the onlookers even more dumbfounded.
Disregarding the gazes of Qin Yi and the crowd, the man in sunglasses reached out to wrap his arm around Su Mo’s waist, pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her deeply on the lips.
“Whoa—”
The onlookers couldn’t help but gasp.
Qin Yi’s mind went blank, feeling a surge of rage rising from the bottom of his heart.
The bouquet of roses in his hand slipped weakly to the ground. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his fists clenched until they cracked.
A moment later, the man in sunglasses separated from Su Mo. He reached out to toy with her hair, his Face full of triumph.
After all, kissing the department beauty in front of so many people gave any man a lot of Face.
Not to mention, it was right in front of Qin Yi, the ex!
Men simply loved to “show off” their affection in front of a woman’s ex to satisfy their own vanity.
“Mo Mo, who is he!”
Qin Yi’s gaze was like a torch, staring fixedly at the man in sunglasses. He gritted his teeth as if to crush the anger in his heart.
The man in sunglasses turned leisurely, his hand sliding down Su Mo’s back. He inadvertently increased his grip, pulling Su Mo close to him, then sized Qin Yi up provocatively.
Su Mo felt a bit of pain, but she still feigned a look of happiness on her Face.
At this moment, as if declaring his sovereignty, the man in sunglasses pulled his shades down slightly, revealing his arrogant and smug Face with a mocking smile.
“Wang Hao!”
Qin Yi’s eyes widened. He looked at Wang Hao in disbelief, then turned his gaze back to Su Mo, his voice trembling as he asked, “Mo Mo, you... how can you be with him? Don’t you know? He’s just a scumbag who toys with feelings! He changes girlfriends faster than he changes clothes! You’ll suffer if you’re with him!”
Su Mo frowned, her Face showing disgust again as she glared at Qin Yi.
“Qin Yi! What right do you have to talk about Brother Hao? I’ve already broken up with you! It’s none of your business who I’m with!”
Wang Hao let go of Su Mo, walked up to Qin Yi, circled him, and said in a deliberately mocking tone, “Oho, oho... I wondered which devoted lover it was, but it’s actually Young Master Qin. What’s the matter? Has everything at Young Master Qin’s home been settled? Speaking of which, it’s been about half a year since we last met... Why are you still wearing a graduation gown in this heat? Aren’t you hot?”
As Wang Hao spoke, he tugged at the graduation gown Qin Yi was wearing with a look of extreme disdain.
Qin Yi clenched his fists, veins bulging as he glared at Wang Hao. “My business is none of your concern!”
Wang Hao had never gotten along with Qin Yi; they were classmates.
Previously, their family backgrounds were similar, but not only was Qin Yi’s family wealthy, his grades in school were also better than Wang Hao’s.
Most importantly, Qin Yi was more handsome than him, so Wang Hao had been overshadowed by Qin Yi in every way during their college years.
But who could have imagined that as graduation approached, Qin Yi’s family company would go bankrupt due to a broken capital chain.
Not only that, according to Su Mo, Qin Yi’s father also owed a large amount of high-interest debt—the kind that ordinary people couldn’t pay off in several lifetimes even without eating or drinking...
When he heard this news, Wang Hao couldn’t have been happier. He thought he had to find an opportunity to thoroughly humiliate Qin Yi and vent his hatred!
Unfortunately, as soon as trouble hit Qin Yi’s home, he took a leave of absence and went back.
Thus, Wang Hao could only set his sights on Su Mo.
For a man, what could be more humiliating than having his woman touched by another?
Originally, Wang Hao thought Qin Yi and Su Mo’s relationship was very strong, and it might take some effort.
But who knew that Su Mo, who appeared pure and innocent like a white lotus on the surface, was actually a total gold-digger at heart.
So, after Qin Yi took his leave and left the school, Wang Hao launched an offensive on Su Mo, showering her with various luxury goods and high-end restaurants regardless of the cost.
Finally, a month ago, Su Mo was completely conquered by Wang Hao.
At the same time, Wang Hao also learned about Qin Yi’s family matters from Su Mo. The posts on the campus forum about the bankruptcy of Qin Yi’s family were also spread by Wang Hao.
Now that he had encountered Qin Yi again, Wang Hao naturally wouldn’t let this chance slip by. He had to “kick the dog while it’s down”!
At this point, more and more people were gathering. Su Mo didn’t want things to become public knowledge either; after all, it wasn’t good for her reputation.
So, Su Mo lowered her voice and said softly to Wang Hao, “Brother Hao, ignore him. It’s so hot outside, let’s go...”
How could Wang Hao listen to Su Mo? He glanced at the roses on the ground and let out a disdainful chuckle.
“Hehe, what did Young Master Qin just call me? A scumbag?”
As Wang Hao spoke, his hand reached out recklessly to touch Su Mo’s Face. He hooked her chin with his finger and once again, provocatively and roughly, kissed her on the lips.
It wasn’t until Su Mo felt she couldn’t breathe properly that Wang Hao let go of her, looking at Qin Yi with a provocative gaze.
“Young Master Qin is right! Compared to Young Master Qin’s devotion, I, Wang Hao, am a bit of a scumbag. But so what? I have money! I’m happy to spend money on women. Especially ones like Mo Mo!”
“You!”
Qin Yi stared at Wang Hao in fury, his fists clenched tight, his eyes looking as if they wanted to devour him.
In the past, Wang Hao might have been wary of Qin Yi, as their families were of equal strength.
But now, Qin Yi’s actions in Wang Hao’s eyes were nothing more than impotent rage.
So, Wang Hao continued to provoke him. “What about ’you’? What? Want to hit me? I’m so scared...”
Wang Hao took two more steps toward Qin Yi with a sleazy look, fearlessly thrusting his Face in front of Qin Yi’s.
“Come on, hit me right here!”
Infuriated, Qin Yi was about to strike out and teach this bastard a lesson.
But unexpectedly, Wang Hao let out a cold laugh.
“Think carefully! If this punch lands, you’ll either pay up or go to jail!”
Qin Yi hesitated...
If this were half a year ago, he would have thrown that punch without any hesitation!
But now, he no longer had the capital to bear the consequences of that punch.
If he were arrested, not only would his studies be affected, but it would also place an even greater burden on his parents...
His family could no longer afford it...
Thinking of this, Qin Yi backed down, his clenched fists slowly loosening.
Seeing this, Wang Hao gave a cold smile and spat disdainfully.
“Pah! Dammit, you coward! You’ve got no strength, yet you’re so damn good at putting on an act!”
After saying that, Wang Hao lifted his foot and, as if trying to crush Qin Yi to death, stomped hard on the bouquet of roses on the ground.
Those once delicate flowers were ruthlessly crushed, and Qin Yi’s heart broke along with them.
His dignity, his love, his everything—at this moment, they were all trampled underfoot by this bastard Wang Hao...
Qin Yi lowered his eyes, disheartened, wanting only to turn around and leave.
But Wang Hao had no intention of letting Qin Yi off so easily!
The humiliation wasn’t enough!
“Stop! Did I say you could leave?!”
Qin Yi looked up, his eyes flashing with the light of anger.
“Wang Hao! Don’t you fucking go too far!” he roared.
Wang Hao showed no fear; instead, he became even more arrogant.
“Too far? I’ll show you what ’too far’ means!” He snatched the bag from Su Mo’s shoulder, pulled out a few bills, and threw them in Qin Yi’s Face.
“Take this money as compensation for you!”
Having said that, Wang Hao was about to turn and leave, but then seemed to remember something. He leaned into Qin Yi’s ear and whispered another mockery.
“By the way, there’s one thing I almost forgot to tell you! I took Su Mo’s first time! Qin Yi, should I call you devoted or just stupid? I really didn’t expect that after being with Su Mo for three years, she was still a virgin... Back then, you were rich and handsome, so why didn’t you just take her? Could it be that your equipment doesn’t work? But I should still thank you for that! Don’t worry, after my day-and-night training during this time, she’s very familiar with all kinds of positions now! Oh, by the way, I have plenty of videos and photos on my phone. If you’re interested, I don’t mind letting you have a look! After all, sharing joy is better than keeping it to yourself...”
Qin Yi was completely enraged. “Wang Hao! Fuck your ancestors!” He threw a punch toward Wang Hao’s Face.
Since Wang Hao had chosen to use this matter to completely provoke Qin Yi, he was naturally prepared.
He quickly retreated and grabbed Su Mo, pulling her in front of him.
Wang Hao was different from Qin Yi; he wouldn’t cherish Su Mo just because she was his woman now.
To him, women were nothing more than playthings!
He, Wang Hao, wouldn’t be as stupid as Qin Yi and get hurt for a woman!
“Ah...”
Su Mo screamed and closed her eyes, terrified.
Qin Yi’s punch stalled in mid-air; he hesitated.
Taking the opportunity, Wang Hao raised his leg and kicked Qin Yi hard in the abdomen.
Qin Yi staggered back in pain, glaring at Wang Hao.
“Wang Hao! You bastard! You actually used a woman as a shield!” he roared.
“Hahaha, Qin Yi! If I say you’re stupid, you really are! Think carefully! Can you afford the consequences of hitting me? Think about your dad, think about your mom, think about the debts your family owes! You useless trash!”
Qin Yi looked at Wang Hao, his eyes nearly bursting. His fists clenched tighter and tighter, but in the end, he let go...
Some of the people around shook their heads and sighed, feeling the injustice for Qin Yi; others mocked him, calling him a spineless coward...
But only Qin Yi knew that although he had lost, he hadn’t lost to Wang Hao, but to his family ties!
Seeing Qin Yi like this, Wang Hao laughed loudly and turned around, his hand recklessly resting on Su Mo’s perky butt, squeezing it at will.
“Let’s go! Dammit, I’m happy today! Which bag did you mention last time?”
“Oh, you’re so annoying, Brother Hao, so many people are watching...”
Su Mo pressed close to Wang Hao, pulling his wandering arm around her waist. Her voice was extremely artificial, as if she had already forgotten how Wang Hao had just used her as a human shield.
“Let them look! Let them watch...”
Soon, amidst gazes of either envy or disdain, Wang Hao and Su Mo got into the yellow sports car.
Then, the engine roared, and the yellow sports car thundered away from Modu University.
Seeing that the main parties had left, the onlookers also lost interest.
Meanwhile, Qin Yi remained standing there dazed. A clear footprint had been added to his graduation gown. A few hundred-yuan bills were scattered on the ground, drifting in the breeze along with the crushed rose petals.
Book 2 – Chapter 2: A New Jennie

Summer was almost over.

College was almost here.

And for the first time in a long time…

Jennie wanted a change.

Not because she wanted to become someone else.

But because she wanted to start a new chapter as herself.

⸻

She stood in front of her mirror.

Her blonde hair from the past year was still there.

The same hair everyone knew.

The same hair from the DJ competition.

The same hair Felix always complimented.

⸻

Jennie stared at her reflection.

“College is a fresh start.”

She touched her hair.

“Maybe it’s time for something different.”

⸻

She picked up her phone.

The first person she called was Lisa.

⸻

Lisa answered immediately.

“What’s happening?”

Jennie paused.

“I’m changing my hair.”

Silence.

Then—

“WAIT.”

“LIKE ACTUALLY CHANGING IT?”

“Yes.”

“I’M COMING OVER.”

⸻

An hour later…

Lisa arrived at Jennie’s house.

Her ash-blonde hair with bangs was styled perfectly, and she wore a black jacket, cargo pants, and sneakers.

She walked into Jennie’s room and looked around.

“So…”

She pointed at Jennie.

“You are seriously doing this?”

Jennie nodded.

“Yes.”

Lisa smiled.

“I knew this day would come.”

⸻

First decision:

The color.

⸻

Jennie sat in the salon chair.

The stylist looked at her blonde hair.

“Are you sure you want to go back?”

Jennie nodded.

“Yeah.”

⸻

The blonde slowly disappeared.

Back to her original dark hair color.

The color that felt familiar.

The color that felt like home.

⸻

When she looked in the mirror…

She smiled.

She looked like the old Jennie.

But different.

Older.

More confident.

⸻

Lisa smiled.

“I forgot how much this suits you.”

Jennie touched her hair.

“I missed it.”

⸻

Then came the second decision.

The haircut.

⸻

Jennie looked at the stylist.

“Cut it.”

Lisa looked shocked.

“How short?”

Jennie thought.

Then smiled.

“Short.”

⸻

The scissors started moving.

⸻

Piece by piece…

Her long hair changed.

Until finally…

She had a sleek bob haircut.

It framed her face perfectly.

It was stylish.

Cool.

A little bold.

Exactly like her personality.

⸻

Lisa stared.

“No way.”

“What?”

“You look like someone who would walk into college and immediately become the most intimidating person there.”

Jennie smirked.

“So basically me.”

Lisa laughed.

“Exactly.”

⸻

Jennie looked in the mirror again.

For the first time in weeks…

She felt excited.

⸻

Next mission:

Shopping.

⸻

Lisa refused to let Jennie keep the exact same wardrobe.

“No.”

Jennie held up a black jacket.

“What?”

“You have seventeen versions of that.”

“They are different.”

“They are all black.”

“They have different vibes.”

Lisa sighed.

“You are impossible.”

⸻

They spent the entire day shopping.

Jennie picked out:

* stylish jackets
* new tops
* different jeans
* sneakers and boots
* accessories
* outfits that felt more mature

⸻

Lisa held up a colorful outfit.

“Try it.”

Jennie looked suspicious.

“Why?”

“Because college Jennie needs to surprise people.”

⸻

After trying new styles…

Jennie actually liked them.

They were still cool.

Still her.

Just a new version.

⸻

By the end of the day…

Her room looked completely different.

Clothes everywhere.

Shopping bags on the floor.

Suitcases open.

⸻

Jennie packed everything carefully.

Her new clothes.

Her DJ equipment.

Her headphones.

Her graduation photo.

Her trophy.

⸻

Then she found one picture.

The whole group.

Lisa.

Rosé.

Jisoo.

Han.

Hyunjin.

Felix.

⸻

She smiled.

Then quickly put it into her suitcase.

⸻

“New college.”

“New style.”

“New chapter.”

⸻

Lisa leaned against the doorway.

“You know…”

“What?”

“You’re not becoming a different person.”

Jennie looked at her.

“You’re just letting people see another side of you.”

⸻

Jennie smiled.

“That’s actually a good line.”

Lisa gasped.

“Did Jennie just compliment me?”

“Don’t get used to it.”

“There she is.”

⸻

That night…

Jennie closed her suitcase.

Her new haircut.

Her new style.

Her new beginning.

⸻

She looked at herself one last time.

The old Jennie wasn’t gone.

The DJ.

The roast queen.

The girl who never backed down.

She was still there.

Just with a new look.

⸻

College was waiting.

And Jennie was ready.

But she didn’t know…

Her new chapter was about to bring back the one person she thought was already gone.
Photo 1 is wearing the outfit in photo 2 with a black bag on her shoulder with her hair in a messy bun. 
Photo 3 is wearing a black jack and a black t-shirt underneath with black pants.

Photo 1 and photo 3 are walking side by side in the college hallway.

Photo 1 then ask photo 3 “So, No bodyguard today?”

Photo 3 answers “He’s just taking care of some business for me.”

Photo 1 then says “ Oh that’s so cool, you’ve got someone to run your errands. “So do you have any plans for tonight?”

Photo 3 says “No, did you have something in mind?”

Photo 1 then says with a nervous expression “ Oh no!” “ I’m just gonna head back to my dorm and study.”

Photo 3 then ask “That sounds fun, do you mind if I join?”

Photo 1 then blushes and says “Sure, I’m the next floor down.”

Photo 3 then smirks handsomely. 

Photo 1 and 3 are now in the elevator going down to the second floor. 

(Panel shows front veil of photo 1 looking to skew with a blushing red face, and photo 2 is looking ahead smirking
Photo 1 is working behind a cute modern little coffee shop wearing a super cute uniform and hat.

Photo 1 is wiping down a table after the customer left. 
1 of her coworkers walks over her to her with a smile and says “look at you, I wanna be that dedicated to my job like you”.

Photo 1 then looks over at her and smiles and says “ I’m not doing much, just wanted to help out”.

Photo 1 then ask her coworker, “ hey who were those guys from earlier?” 

Photo 1 is having a flash back of serving an ice coffee to photo 2 while photo 3 was standing behind photo 2 as a body gaurd.

Her coworker then remembers as well and says “ I don’t know them personally but I do know that photo 2 (who she refers to as the really tall and handsome guy) goes to some rich college.” Then she says “ And I do know they started do come around when you started working here, and he only really goes to you to get rigged up”.

Photo 1 then thinks about how photo 2 only gets his coffee made by her and thinks it’s it’s a coincidence
Book 2 – Chapter 9: The First College Morning Disaster

The first morning in the dorms.

Everyone expected a fresh start.

A peaceful beginning.

A normal college day.

⸻

That was their first mistake.

⸻

Dorm Building A

Jennie’s alarm went off.

She opened her eyes.

Five seconds later…

She was already ready.

⸻

Her dark bob haircut was perfectly styled.

Her outfit was completely put together.

Black jacket.

Baggy jeans.

Silver accessories.

Boots.

Headphones around her neck.

⸻

Lisa slowly opened her eyes.

She stared.

“How are you already dressed?”

Jennie looked at her.

“Because some of us respect time.”

Lisa sat up.

“It’s 7:02.”

“Exactly.”

“Class is at 9.”

Jennie grabbed her bag.

“Exactly.”

⸻

Lisa looked at her.

“You are the only person who treats getting ready like a concert entrance.”

Jennie smiled.

“Because every entrance is important.”

⸻

Lisa laughed.

“Your confidence is dangerous.”

Jennie shrugged.

“Your fashion choices are dangerous. We all have problems.”

⸻

Dorm Building B

⸻

Felix woke up to chaos.

⸻

Han was standing in front of the mirror.

His black hair with blue tips was styled perfectly.

Felix stared.

“Why are you dressed like you’re going to a photoshoot?”

Han looked serious.

“Because first impressions matter.”

“It’s a lecture.”

“Exactly.”

⸻

Felix shook his head.

His blonde hair was messy, but somehow still looked perfect.

⸻

Han looked at him.

“You need help.”

Felix looked down at his outfit.

“What?”

“You look too normal.”

“That’s the point.”

“Wrong.”

⸻

Outside the dorms

Everyone met before class.

⸻

Jisoo arrived with her long blonde hair and lavender-pink ends shining in the sunlight.

Rosé walked beside her with her black hair flowing naturally.

Hyunjin arrived with his red-tipped hair styled perfectly.

⸻

Jennie looked around.

“Okay.”

Everyone looked at her.

“What?”

She pointed.

“Hyunjin looks like he’s going to a fashion interview.”

Hyunjin smiled.

“Thank you.”

“That wasn’t a compliment.”

“I accepted it anyway.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Then Felix walked over.

⸻

Jennie looked at him.

Felix looked at her.

⸻

Silence.

⸻

Han whispered:

“Round two of awkward.”

⸻

Felix cleared his throat.

“Morning.”

Jennie nodded.

“Morning.”

⸻

Everyone waited.

⸻

Lisa whispered:

“That was the most normal conversation they’ve had.”

⸻

Jennie heard her.

“Don’t ruin it.”

⸻

They walked toward class.

⸻

Then suddenly…

A student dropped a stack of papers.

⸻

Everyone stopped to help.

Except Han.

⸻

Han looked at the papers.

Then at Jennie.

“Should I help?”

Jennie stared.

“Yes.”

Han nodded.

“Okay.”

A pause.

“But first…”

“What?”

“I need to emotionally prepare.”

⸻

Jennie looked at him.

“You need emotional preparation to pick up paper?”

Han nodded.

“These are important papers.”

“They’re on the floor.”

“Exactly. Dangerous territory.”

⸻

Jennie stared.

“Han.”

“What?”

“You are the reason warning labels exist.”

⸻

Everyone burst out laughing.

⸻

Finally they reached class.

⸻

The professor announced:

“Today, you will begin your first major college project.”

⸻

Everyone sat up.

⸻

“You will create something that represents your identity.”

⸻

Everyone started thinking.

⸻

Lisa immediately wrote fashion.

Rosé wrote music.

Jisoo wrote design.

Hyunjin wrote performance.

Han wrote something nobody could read.

⸻

Felix looked over.

“What did you write?”

Han covered it.

“Private.”

“It’s upside down.”

Han quickly flipped it.

“Now it’s private.”

⸻

Jennie shook her head.

⸻

Then the professor looked at her.

“And you?”

⸻

Jennie looked at her notebook.

Then at her DJ headphones.

⸻

She smiled.

⸻

“Music.”

⸻

Felix looked at her.

“You already knew.”

Jennie nodded.

“Yeah.”

“Then why think?”

She shrugged.

“Because this time…”

She looked at the group.

“I’m not doing it alone.”

⸻

Everyone smiled.

⸻

Then Han ruined the moment.

“So we’re basically a legendary team.”

Jennie looked at him.

“Don’t say legendary.”

“Why?”

“Because now you’ll start acting like you have a documentary.”

⸻

Han gasped.

“I would have a great documentary.”

Jennie nodded.

“Title: A Guy Who Talks Too Much.”

⸻

The class laughed.

⸻

And as they started their first college project…

Everyone realized something.

⸻

College wasn’t going to be normal.

Not with:

A savage DJ queen.

A dramatic fashion king.

A chaotic music genius.

A talented performer.

And a group that somehow always found trouble.

⸻

The semester had officially begun.
Photo 1 is in her bedroom packing for college. Another slide shows photo 3 also in a bedroom packing for college. Photo is outside a coffee smoking a cigarette with a bike helmet on the table while looking at his phone. Photo 4 is riding in a back seat of a Luxury car staring out the window.
Aaryan is rich rude cold guy in college..make intro of him ..get up from bed and get ready for college
Photo 1 is standing outside behind a nightclub in the shade under a tiny light. 

Photo 1 is looking into the distance and smoking a cigarette watching the women come in the club happy and dance. 

Photo 1 has a straight and serious, and then looks at his phone while smoking a cigarette. 

His phone then shows an acceptance letter from the most respected colleges in Seoul, Korea. It has his name Micheal Kang and the information for the college. 

Photo 1 then smirks and thinks “College huh?” 

Photo 1 then puts the cigarette to his mouth and looks off into the distance.
Photo 1 is walking next to photo 2. Both photo 1 and photo 2 are surrounded by 2 security gaurds on each side. 

College students suddenly gather around photo 1, photo 2 and the security gaurds to get a good look at photo 1. 

Photo 1 has a serious expression on his face and his paying attention to the students gathering and looks straight and keeps walking. 

Photo 2 is waking along with photo too and looking at the students and smirks and says “ Gheezz, what vultures! We need to get out of here before your face starts a riot.” 

Photo 1 and photo 2 continue to walk. 

The college girls in the crowd begin to say stuff like “ look at him, he’s an angel.” “ Look at how tall he is” “ Should I ask for his number? I should right “
Book 2 – Chapter 12: The Girls’ Day

For once…

No drama.

No Felix.

No Han chaos.

No college competition.

⸻

Just the girls.

⸻

Jennie woke up late.

Which was rare.

Very rare.

⸻

Lisa immediately noticed.

She walked into the room holding snacks.

“Are you okay?”

Jennie looked up.

“Why?”

“You slept past your alarm.”

Jennie shrugged.

“Maybe my alarm was annoying.”

Lisa stared.

“It was your alarm.”

“Exactly.”

⸻

Lisa laughed.

“You’re impossible.”

Jennie grabbed a pillow and threw it at her.

“You’re loud.”

⸻

But Lisa smiled.

Because that was Jennie.

Cold to the world.

But with them?

Different.

⸻

A few minutes later, Jisoo and Rosé arrived.

⸻

Jisoo’s long blonde hair with lavender-pink ends was tied back casually.

Rosé’s black hair was styled softly, and she carried drinks for everyone.

⸻

Rosé smiled.

“Girls’ day.”

⸻

Jennie looked at the drinks.

“Finally. Something useful.”

⸻

Lisa gasped.

“You mean my company isn’t useful?”

Jennie looked at her.

“Your company is questionable.”

⸻

Lisa put her hand on her heart.

“That hurt.”

Jennie looked away.

“Good.”

⸻

Jisoo laughed.

“You say that, but you saved her a seat.”

⸻

Jennie froze.

“I did not.”

⸻

Lisa pointed.

“You literally moved your bag so I could sit there.”

⸻

Jennie looked away.

“Accident.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

“You’re terrible at pretending you don’t care.”

⸻

Jennie narrowed her eyes.

“Careful.”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

“There she is.”

⸻

The girls spent the afternoon walking around campus.

⸻

They went shopping.

They got snacks.

They explored the little stores near the college.

⸻

Lisa held up a jacket.

“Jennie, this would look amazing on you.”

⸻

Jennie looked.

“No.”

“Why?”

“Because you picked it.”

⸻

Lisa looked offended.

“Wow.”

⸻

Jennie smiled slightly.

“But…”

She took the jacket.

“It is actually good.”

⸻

Lisa gasped.

“Was that a compliment?”

Jennie immediately looked away.

“Don’t get excited.”

⸻

Jisoo laughed.

“That was basically a love letter from Jennie.”

⸻

Jennie rolled her eyes.

“You’re all dramatic.”

⸻

Later, they sat outside with snacks.

⸻

For a while, nobody talked.

It was peaceful.

⸻

Rosé looked at Jennie.

“Are you okay?”

⸻

Jennie looked at her.

“I’m fine.”

⸻

Jisoo raised an eyebrow.

“Real fine or Jennie fine?”

⸻

Silence.

⸻

Lisa immediately understood.

“Jennie fine.”

⸻

Jennie sighed.

“You three are annoying.”

⸻

“But?”

⸻

She looked at them.

⸻

Then quietly said:

“But you’re my annoying people.”

⸻

The three girls smiled.

⸻

Because that was Jennie’s version of saying:

I love you.

⸻

Lisa leaned closer.

“So…”

“What?”

“Are we allowed to mention Felix?”

⸻

Jennie’s eyes narrowed.

“No.”

⸻

Lisa nodded.

“Okay.”

⸻

Two seconds later.

⸻

“Anyway—”

⸻

“Lisa.”

⸻

“Okay, okay!”

⸻

Jisoo laughed.

“You lasted three seconds.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

“New record.”

⸻

Jennie shook her head.

“You all need help.”

⸻

But she was smiling.

⸻

And for the first time in days…

Jennie wasn’t the savage queen fighting everyone.

She wasn’t the DJ ready to destroy anyone who challenged her.

⸻

She was just Jennie.

With her three favorite people.

⸻

And maybe…

Just maybe…

That was the only place where she didn’t need armor.write in English

Book 2 – Chapter 31: The Boys Have a Problem

The college dance was only three days away.

Which meant…

Panic.

⸻

Not from Jennie.

From the boys.

⸻

Felix sat in the dorm lounge, scrolling through his phone.

His blonde hair was neatly styled, and he wore a black hoodie, dark jeans, and white sneakers.

He sighed.

⸻

Han walked in carrying three different jackets.

His black hair faded into bright blue at the ends. He wore a blue hoodie, black cargo pants, and sneakers.

⸻

“Which one says, ‘I’m cool but not trying too hard?’”

⸻

Felix looked up.

⸻

“None of them.”

⸻

Han gasped dramatically.

“You’re supposed to support me!”

⸻

Before Felix could answer, Hyunjin walked in.

His black hair with bright red tips was styled perfectly. He wore a black jacket, fitted jeans, and boots.

⸻

“You’ve been standing in front of the mirror for twenty minutes.”

⸻

Han crossed his arms.

“I’m creating a masterpiece.”

⸻

“You’re creating traffic.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

⸻

Just then…

The girls walked past the open lounge.

⸻

Jennie wore an oversized black leather jacket, a band T-shirt, baggy jeans, and chunky boots. Her short dark bob gave her the same fearless DJ queen look as always.

Lisa wore a black-and-white hoodie with jeans, her Oreo-inspired haircut standing out.

Rosé wore a denim jacket and relaxed pants, her short blonde Apatapate-inspired hair tucked behind one ear.

Jisoo wore a cream cardigan and jeans, her long blonde hair with lavender-pink tips flowing over her shoulders.

⸻

Felix smiled at Jennie.

⸻

She looked at him for exactly one second.

⸻

“…Your shoelace is untied.”

⸻

Felix looked down.

“Oh.”

⸻

He bent over to tie it.

⸻

Han whispered,

“That was nice.”

⸻

Felix smiled.

⸻

Until…

Jennie added—

⸻

“I’d hate for you to trip before embarrassing yourself at the dance.”

⸻

Felix looked back up.

⸻

“…There she is.”

⸻

Jennie smirked.

“Never doubted it.”

⸻

The girls kept walking.

⸻

Han blinked.

⸻

“Are… are you two flirting?”

⸻

Jennie turned around.

⸻

“No.”

⸻

Han looked confused.

⸻

“That sounded exactly like flirting.”

⸻

Jennie folded her arms.

⸻

“No.”

⸻

Lisa quickly stepped in.

“Han… don’t overthink it.”

⸻

Han looked between Felix and Jennie.

⸻

“I am absolutely going to overthink it.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“They’re acting weird.”

⸻

Jennie raised an eyebrow.

⸻

“You’re one sentence away from becoming my next roast target.”

⸻

Han immediately raised both hands.

⸻

“I value my happiness.”

⸻

“Smart choice.”

⸻

As the girls walked away, Felix couldn’t stop smiling.

⸻

Han noticed.

⸻

“There it is again.”

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“The Jennie smile.”

⸻

Felix blinked.

⸻

“I don’t have one.”

⸻

Hyunjin laughed.

⸻

“You definitely do.”

⸻

Across the hallway…

Jennie heard them.

She quietly smiled to herself…

Then immediately hid it before anyone could see.

⸻

The secret was still safe.

At least…

For now.

Photo 3 is walking on the college campus and his iPhone up to his ear talking to photo 1.

Photo 1 says “ Hey, are you free?”

Photo 3 smirks and says “ Yeah I am, where are you?”

Photo 1 looks shy and says “ Do you want to meet me at MowMow’s?”

Photo 3 then says “I’ll be over in 15 minutes.” 

Photo 1 then walks into the restaurant and grabs a seat in corner at the window. 

Photo 1 then looks out the window and watch people go by and thinks “If I do let you back into my life, will you hurt me again?”
Photo 1 is wearing the exact same outfit walking in the hallway of the dorm on her black IPhone 16.

Photo 1 is wearing a cute black purse on her shoulder. 

Photo 1 is walking and pulling her black suits case that has another back pack on it.

Photo 1 then stops walking and stands in front of the dormitory front door that has a golden 317 on the front.

Photo 1 then opens the front door and walks in.

Photo 1 face lights up and glows with joy as she looks around the  luxury, cozy 2 bedroom apartment with modern furniture.

Photo 1 then jumps and yells “ HELL YEAH!!” In a very happy voice.
Book 2 – Chapter 34: Operation Rose — Han’s Impossible Mission

The college dance was only hours away.

The outfits were ready.

The decorations were done.

The music was prepared.

⸻

But three boys had one huge problem.

⸻

They needed to ask three girls.

⸻

Operation One:

Han → Rosé

⸻

And Han was completely failing.

⸻

The Boys’ Emergency Meeting

⸻

The dorm room looked like a war room.

⸻

Han sat on the bed staring at his phone.

His black hair fading into blue at the ends was slightly messy from stress.

He wore a blue jacket, black jeans, and sneakers.

⸻

Felix looked at him.

His blonde hair was styled neatly, and he wore a black shirt with dark pants.

⸻

“You’ve been staring at the same message for twenty minutes.”

⸻

Han looked up.

“I’m creating the perfect message.”

⸻

Hyunjin walked in.

His red-tipped hair was perfectly styled, and he wore a black jacket.

⸻

“What have you written?”

⸻

Han showed them.

⸻

“Hey Rosé, would you like to attend the dance with me?”

⸻

Silence.

⸻

Felix blinked.

⸻

“That’s it?”

⸻

Han looked offended.

“Yes.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“Honestly…”

⸻

Han smiled.

⸻

“See? Good.”

⸻

“…It’s so normal that it’s suspicious.”

⸻

Han’s smile disappeared.

⸻

“What does that mean?”

⸻

“It means you.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

⸻

“You wrote a normal sentence and somehow made it weird.”

⸻

Han sighed.

⸻

“Helpful. Both of you are incredibly helpful.”

⸻

Operation Begins

⸻

Han walked into the practice room.

⸻

Rosé was there.

⸻

Her short blonde Apatapate-inspired hair was styled beautifully, and she wore a casual outfit with a denim jacket, a simple top, and jeans.

She was organizing music.

⸻

Han froze.

⸻

Immediately forgot his plan.

⸻

Rosé looked up.

⸻

“Han?”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“Why are you standing there like you forgot how doors work?”

⸻

Han blinked.

⸻

“I was…”

⸻

Thinking.

⸻

Rosé smiled.

⸻

“That’s dangerous.”

⸻

Han laughed nervously.

⸻

“Very funny.”

⸻

He took a breath.

⸻

“Rosé, I wanted to ask—”

⸻

Suddenly…

A speaker behind him made a loud noise.

⸻

Han jumped.

⸻

Rosé stared.

⸻

“Are you okay?”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“You looked scared.”

⸻

“I was attacked by technology.”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

⸻

“Technology attacked you?”

⸻

“It was unexpected.”

⸻

The Actual Question

⸻

Han tried again.

⸻

“Rosé.”

⸻

She looked at him.

⸻

“Would you…”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

Han’s brain stopped.

⸻

“…help me choose a jacket?”

⸻

Silence.

⸻

Rosé blinked.

⸻

“A jacket?”

⸻

Han immediately regretted everything.

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“That was your big question?”

⸻

“No.”

⸻

“Good.”

⸻

Han covered his face.

⸻

“That was terrible.”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

⸻

“Very.”

⸻

He smiled.

⸻

Then finally…

⸻

“Would you go to the dance with me?”

⸻

Quiet.

⸻

Rosé looked surprised.

⸻

Then smiled.

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

Han froze.

⸻

“Wait.”

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“You said yes?”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“I didn’t expect that.”

⸻

“Why?”

⸻

“Because I spent three hours preparing and still almost asked about jackets.”

⸻

Rosé laughed harder.

⸻

“You almost invited me to a fashion consultation.”

⸻

“Exactly.”

⸻

⸻

The Celebration

⸻

Han ran back to the dorm.

⸻

Felix looked up.

⸻

“Well?”

⸻

Han dramatically fell onto the couch.

⸻

“Mission complete.”

⸻

Hyunjin clapped slowly.

⸻

“Congratulations.”

⸻

Felix smiled.

⸻

“She said yes?”

⸻

Han nodded proudly.

⸻

Then immediately added:

⸻

“After I almost ruined everything.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

⸻

“That’s very Han.”

⸻

Han pointed.

⸻

“Now it’s your turn.”

⸻

Felix froze.

⸻

Because tomorrow…

⸻

Operation Two:

Felix → Jennie

⸻

And everyone knew…

⸻

That was going to be much harder.
Book 2 – Chapter 38: Dance Night — The Grand Entrance

The wait was over.

⸻

The college dance had arrived.

⸻

The campus that usually felt ordinary had completely transformed.

Golden lights covered the courtyard.

Music echoed through the hall.

Everyone was dressed up.

Everyone was excited.

⸻

And somewhere inside the dorm…

Four girls were getting ready.

⸻

The Girls’ Final Preparations

⸻

Jennie stood in front of the mirror.

Her short dark bob haircut was styled perfectly, framing her face with a confident, sharp look.

She wore the black satin dress she chose with her friends, paired with elegant boots and silver accessories.

⸻

Lisa looked at her.

⸻

“Okay.”

⸻

Jennie looked over.

“What?”

⸻

“You look like you own the entire dance.”

⸻

Jennie smirked.

⸻

“I don’t own it.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“Yet.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Lisa wore a stylish black-and-white outfit that matched her Oreo-inspired haircut. Her mostly black hair with white strands was styled beautifully.

⸻

Rosé adjusted her dress.

Her short blonde Apatapate-inspired hair looked elegant, and she wore a simple but classy outfit that matched her soft personality.

⸻

Jisoo fixed the lavender-pink tips of her long blonde hair.

She wore a graceful dress with simple jewelry.

⸻

The four looked at each other.

⸻

For a second…

Nobody spoke.

⸻

Then Lisa smiled.

⸻

“We actually made it.”

⸻

Jisoo nodded.

⸻

“Together.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

⸻

“Like always.”

⸻

Jennie looked away.

⸻

“Okay, don’t make this emotional.”

⸻

Lisa laughed.

⸻

“You’re the emotional one.”

⸻

“No.”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“No.”

⸻

“Jennie.”

⸻

“Lisa.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

The Boys Arrive

⸻

Outside the dorm…

Three boys waited.

⸻

Felix stood there in a black suit jacket, white shirt, and dark pants.

His blonde hair was styled perfectly.

⸻

Han wore a dark blue suit that matched his black-to-blue hair.

⸻

Hyunjin wore a stylish black suit, his red-tipped hair standing out.

⸻

Han looked around.

⸻

“I’m nervous.”

⸻

Felix nodded.

⸻

“Same.”

⸻

Hyunjin crossed his arms.

⸻

“I am calm.”

⸻

Felix and Han looked at him.

⸻

“You practiced your breathing for thirty minutes.”

⸻

Hyunjin paused.

⸻

“That was preparation.”

⸻

“That was panic.”

⸻

⸻

The Meeting

⸻

The girls walked out.

⸻

The boys immediately stopped talking.

⸻

Felix saw Jennie.

⸻

For once…

He had no comeback.

⸻

Jennie noticed.

⸻

“What?”

⸻

Felix blinked.

⸻

“Nothing.”

⸻

“You froze.”

⸻

“I did not.”

⸻

“You did.”

⸻

Han whispered:

“He’s gone.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“Completely.”

⸻

Jennie looked at Felix.

⸻

“You okay?”

⸻

He smiled.

⸻

“Yeah.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“You look amazing.”

⸻

Jennie looked away.

⸻

“Careful.”

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“That was almost too sweet.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

⸻

“Almost?”

⸻

“Almost.”

⸻

⸻

Entering the Dance

⸻

The group walked into the ballroom together.

⸻

Students immediately noticed.

⸻

Not because they were trying to get attention.

⸻

Because they had always been impossible to ignore.

⸻

The music started.

⸻

The lights moved.

⸻

And then…

The DJ booth turned on.

⸻

Everyone looked toward Jennie.

⸻

She put on her headphones.

⸻

The crowd cheered.

⸻

Felix smiled.

⸻

Han whispered:

“She’s in her element.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“Definitely.”

⸻

Jennie looked over the crowd.

⸻

For a moment…

She wasn’t the cold, untouchable person everyone thought she was.

⸻

She was just Jennie.

⸻

Happy.

⸻

Confident.

⸻

With her friends beside her.

⸻

The first beat dropped.

⸻

And the dance officially began.

⸻

But everyone knew…

The night had only started.

⸻

Because there were still:

* Felix and Jennie’s first public dance
* Han and Rosé’s date
* Hyunjin and Jisoo’s moment
* Lisa’s mysterious surprise

⸻

And the biggest question:

⸻

Who was Lisa bringing to the dance?

Because there were still:

* Lisa’s mysterious surprise

⸻

And the biggest question:

⸻

Who was Lisa bringing to the dance?
It is 1:30 am at college. 
Photo 1 is wearing the outfit in photo 2.
Photo 1 is lying in a bedroom decorated for a girl surrounded by Windows.
Photo 1 is laying on the bed looking at her black IPhone texting.

She then gets a text from a number saved as “Unknown Number 💔🥀”

(Close up of the phone text messages on iMessage)

The unknown number says “Hey 👋🏻 can we talk? I feel like we should since we’re in the same class and I see you all over campus.” 
Photo 1 replies “ Why? We can see each and not acknowledge each other.”
Unknown number says “ I just wanna do the right going. I feel I have change and I hurt you , I just wanna tell you how sorry I am for hurting you💔”
“It’s fine if you don’t wanna talk, I’ll leave you alone.”

Photo 1 replies “…….come over 😓”

Photo 1 then puts the phone down on the bed.
Photo 1 lays her face on the pillow and looks info the distance with a sad look on her face and thinks “Mei, what are you doing?”

Photo 1 then looks up at her bedroom door as she heard a knock at the front door of the apartment. 

Photo 1 then walks to open the front door of her luxury apartment. 

Photo 1 then opens the door with a worried and sad look on her face ready to cry.

(Panel close up to photo 1 as she opens the front door)
Photo 1 is wearing the outfit in photo 2 while walking into the college library. 

Photo is walking up to the book shelf to get a book to begin study for an exam. 

Photo 1 then says softly not affecting the other students as she reaches for the book “Why does it have to be up so damn high? Who do they make these for giants?” With an annoyed look on her face. 

As photo 1 is reaching for the book, photo 3 comes behind her wearing the outfit in photo 4(without the bag) and grabs the book for her. 

Photo 1 then takes the book from photo 3 and says thank you with a blank look on her face as she does not like photo 3. 

Photo 3 then puts his hands in his pockets and says “Anytime kid, what you reading about?”
Photo 1 replies “ None of your business! “ in an angry tone. 
(Panel split) 
Photo 1 then takes a seat at open student table with her Apple laptop and the book she gotten from photo 3. 

Photo 3 then sits next to her with his book open onto the table and is looking at photo 1 laptop. 
Photo 1 then looks at photo 3 and ask “ why are you sitting here next to me” with an annoyed and angry face. 
Photo 3 puts his hand under his chin and place that hand on the table as he looks at photo 3 and smiles cleverly and replies “ You’re cute when your angry, can’t I just sit in a public library next to a friend?”

Photo 1 then closes her laptop and begins to to leave and says to photo 3 “No you can’t and we’re not friends!” 

Photo 3 then watches as photo 1 walks away with a straight blank face.
Book 2 – Chapter 37: The Girls Before the Dance

Seven hours.

⸻

That was all that was left until the college dance.

⸻

The dorm was unusually calm.

No rushing.

No panic.

Just four friends sitting together before the biggest night of the year.

⸻

The Girls’ Room

⸻

Jennie sat on the floor checking her DJ playlist one last time.

Her short dark bob was slightly messy, and she wore a comfortable black hoodie, loose jeans, and sneakers.

Even when relaxing…

She still looked like the campus DJ queen.

⸻

Lisa sat on the bed beside her.

Her Oreo-inspired haircut — mostly black with white strands throughout — was tied back casually.

She wore a cozy sweatshirt and jeans.

⸻

Jisoo was fixing her hair in the mirror.

Her long blonde hair with lavender-pink tips was styled beautifully.

She wore a soft sweater and a skirt, already looking elegant.

⸻

Rosé sat beside her, smiling.

Her short blonde Apatapate-inspired hair was styled naturally, and she wore a relaxed outfit while preparing her accessories.

⸻

For a moment…

Everything felt peaceful.

⸻

Then Rosé spoke.

⸻

“So…”

⸻

Everyone looked at her.

⸻

“I have something to tell you.”

⸻

Jennie immediately narrowed her eyes.

⸻

“Why does that sound suspicious?”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

⸻

“I’m going to the dance with Han.”

⸻

Silence.

⸻

Then—

⸻

Lisa smiled.

“Finally!”

⸻

Jisoo laughed.

“You two were so obvious.”

⸻

Rosé covered her face.

⸻

“Were we?”

⸻

Jennie looked at her.

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“How?”

⸻

“You both looked at each other like you forgot other people existed.”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

⸻

“That’s… accurate.”

⸻

Jennie’s Turn

⸻

Lisa looked at Jennie.

⸻

“Your turn.”

⸻

Jennie blinked.

⸻

“My turn for what?”

⸻

“Who are you going with?”

⸻

Jennie immediately looked away.

⸻

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

⸻

Everyone stared.

⸻

Jennie sighed.

⸻

“Fine.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“Felix.”

⸻

Lisa smiled.

⸻

“I knew it.”

⸻

Jennie pointed.

⸻

“Don’t.”

⸻

“I’m not saying anything.”

⸻

“Your face is saying enough.”

⸻

Jisoo laughed.

⸻

“You’re happy.”

⸻

Jennie looked offended.

⸻

“No.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

⸻

“Your denial is getting weaker.”

⸻

“Impossible.”

⸻

⸻

Jisoo’s Secret

⸻

Jennie looked at Jisoo.

⸻

“What about you?”

⸻

Jisoo smiled.

⸻

“Hyunjin.”

⸻

Lisa gasped.

⸻

“Wait, really?”

⸻

Jisoo laughed.

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

Jennie smirked.

⸻

“That explains why he was acting like he was in a movie.”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

⸻

“He practiced, didn’t he?”

⸻

Jisoo nodded.

⸻

“For a very long time.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Lisa’s Silence

⸻

The room became quieter.

⸻

Lisa smiled.

⸻

“I’m happy for you guys.”

⸻

But the others noticed.

⸻

Jennie looked at her.

⸻

“Lisa.”

⸻

“I’m fine.”

⸻

Jisoo tilted her head.

⸻

“Are you sure?”

⸻

Lisa looked down.

⸻

For a second…

She didn’t answer.

⸻

“I guess I just didn’t expect everyone to have plans.”

⸻

The room softened.

⸻

Rosé immediately moved closer.

⸻

“Hey.”

⸻

Lisa looked up.

⸻

“You’re not left out.”

⸻

Jisoo nodded.

⸻

“Never.”

⸻

Jennie put down her headphones.

⸻

“You’re literally the person who keeps us all together.”

⸻

Lisa smiled slightly.

⸻

“That sounded almost nice coming from you.”

⸻

Jennie rolled her eyes.

⸻

“Don’t ruin it.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Lisa hugged them.

⸻

⸻

Lisa’s Secret

⸻

After a moment…

Lisa smiled.

⸻

“Actually…”

⸻

Everyone looked at her.

⸻

“I do have someone to go with.”

⸻

Jennie raised an eyebrow.

⸻

“Excuse me?”

⸻

Lisa grinned.

⸻

“He’s a friend.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

⸻

“Who?”

⸻

Lisa shook her head.

⸻

“Not telling.”

⸻

Jisoo laughed.

⸻

“Why?”

⸻

“Because I want to surprise you.”

⸻

Jennie smirked.

⸻

“Suspicious.”

⸻

“Very.”

⸻

“But…”

Lisa smiled.

⸻

“I’m excited.”

⸻

Jennie nodded.

⸻

“Good.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“And if he disappoints you…”

⸻

Lisa laughed.

⸻

“You’re going to roast him?”

⸻

Jennie shrugged.

⸻

“Obviously.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Seven hours later…

⸻

Four girls would walk into the dance.

⸻

Four different stories.

⸻

Four different secrets.

⸻

And one unforgettable night waiting for them.
Photo 1 is wearing the outfit in photo 2 while walking into the college library. 

Photo is walking up to the book shelf to get a book to begin study for an exam. 

Photo 1 then says softly not affecting the other students as she reaches for the book “Why does it gotta be up so damn high? Who do they make these for giants?” With an annoyed look on her face. 

As photo 1 is reaching for the book, photo 3 comes behind her wearing the outfit in photo 4(without the bag) and grabs the book for her. 

Photo 1 then takes the book from photo 3 and says thank you with a blank look on her face as she does not like photo 3. 

Photo 3 then puts his hands in his pockets and says “Anytime kid, what you reading about?”
(Panel split) 
Photo 1 then takes a seat at open student table with her Apple laptop and the book she gotten from photo 3. 

Photo 3 then sits next to her with his book open onto the table and is looking at photo 1 laptop. 
Photo 1 then looks at photo 3 and ask “ why are you sitting here next to me” with an annoyed and angry face. 
Photo 3 puts his hand under his chin and place that hand on the table as he looks at photo 3 and smiles cleverly and replies “ You’re cute when your angry, can’t I just sit in a public library next to a friend?”

Photo 1 then closes her laptop and begins to to leave and says to photo 3 “No you can’t and we’re not friends!” 

Photo 3 then watches as photo 1 walks away with a straight blank face.
Chapter 39 – Graduation Day

The day finally arrived.

Graduation.

⸻

The school that had been filled with chaos, jokes, competitions, and endless roast battles was now decorated with banners, flowers, and rows of chairs.

A giant sign hung above the stage:

“Congratulations, Graduating Class!”

⸻

For once…

Everyone was quiet.

Almost.

⸻

Jennie stood in front of the mirror in her room.

Her blonde hair was styled in soft waves, and she wore her graduation gown over a sleek outfit with black boots. Her usual DJ accessories were replaced with a simple silver necklace.

She looked at herself.

It felt strange.

⸻

A year ago…

She was the girl everyone thought was impossible to get close to.

The cold DJ.

The queen of roasting.

The person who acted like she didn’t care.

⸻

Then Felix happened.

⸻

A knock came at her door.

“Jennie?”

She smiled.

“Come in.”

⸻

Felix walked in.

His black hair was neatly styled, and he wore his graduation gown over a black shirt and dark pants.

He looked around.

“Wow.”

Jennie raised an eyebrow.

“What?”

“You actually look ready.”

“Excuse me?”

“I mean…”

He laughed.

“You usually look like you’re about to start a DJ battle.”

Jennie crossed her arms.

“And you usually look like you’re about to miss a basketball shot.”

Felix smiled.

“Good. You’re still you.”

⸻

They walked downstairs together.

⸻

Everyone was ready.

⸻

Lisa adjusted her graduation cap.

Her ash-blonde hair with bangs framed her face, and she wore a stylish outfit under her gown.

“I’m taking a hundred pictures.”

Han groaned.

“One hundred?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Because you will complain later.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

Her lavender hair was curled softly, and she wore a simple elegant outfit under her gown.

“This day is actually happening.”

⸻

Jisoo fixed her red hair before putting on her cap.

“Everyone ready?”

⸻

Hyunjin appeared dramatically.

His blond hair was perfectly styled.

“Today…”

Everyone sighed.

“Don’t.”

He continued anyway.

“Today we close one chapter.”

Han whispered.

“He practiced that.”

“Of course he did.”

⸻

At the ceremony…

The auditorium was full.

Parents cheered.

Teachers smiled.

Students laughed nervously.

⸻

One by one…

Names were called.

⸻

“Lisa.”

Applause.

She walked across the stage confidently.

⸻

“Rosé.”

More cheers.

⸻

“Jisoo.”

Everyone clapped.

⸻

“Han.”

The crowd cheered loudly.

Han waved dramatically.

Jennie covered her face.

“He loves attention.”

Felix laughed.

“Yes.”

⸻

“Hyunjin.”

He walked across the stage like he was in a movie.

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Then…

“Felix.”

⸻

The crowd cheered.

Felix walked across the stage smiling.

When he returned…

Jennie quietly said:

“Not bad, basketball boy.”

He smiled.

“That was almost a compliment.”

“Don’t ruin it.”

⸻

Finally…

The last name.

⸻

“Jennie.”

⸻

The room filled with applause.

Felix smiled as she walked onto the stage.

⸻

Jennie accepted her diploma.

She looked out at the crowd.

She remembered everything.

The first roast battle.

The arguments.

The DJ competition.

The friendships.

The person she never expected to matter so much.

⸻

She walked back.

Felix whispered:

“You okay?”

Jennie nodded.

“Yeah.”

A pause.

“Just weird.”

“I know.”

⸻

After the ceremony…

Everyone gathered outside for pictures.

⸻

Han immediately grabbed the camera.

“Everyone together!”

Jennie sighed.

“Here we go.”

⸻

The group stood together.

Lisa smiling.

Rosé laughing.

Jisoo fixing everyone’s positions.

Hyunjin making dramatic poses.

Han trying to look cool.

Felix standing beside Jennie.

⸻

“Ready?”

Click.

⸻

The picture captured everything.

Not perfect.

Not organized.

Not normal.

Just them.

⸻

Later…

Jennie and Felix stood away from everyone for a moment.

Watching their friends celebrate.

⸻

Felix smiled.

“Crazy, right?”

“What?”

“That we went from hating each other…”

Jennie smirked.

“I never hated you.”

“You called me annoying every day.”

“You were annoying.”

“Fair.”

⸻

She looked at the graduation cap in her hands.

“We’re really leaving.”

“Yeah.”

⸻

A small silence.

Then Jennie smiled.

“Don’t think college means you’re safe.”

Felix laughed.

“Of course.”

“Because?”

“Because you’ll still roast me.”

“Exactly.”

⸻

The final school bell rang one last time.

And the group walked away from the school together.

Not knowing exactly what the future would bring…

But knowing one thing.

No matter where life took them…

The chaos, friendship, and memories would always stay.

Photo 3 is wearing the outfit in photo 4 and is wearing her hair in 2 messy buns with a pink bag.

Photo 3 says with a shy look on her face looking away from photo 1 “Well…..I am gonna grab some food with the guy who came over to study. His name is Beom Taeha btw.

Photo 1 then looks to the sky while walking with her hand on her chin as a sign of her thinking. 
Photo 1 is thinking “Taeha, Taeha,”

Photo 1 then shrugs with her shoulders and eyes close and says “Never heard of him”

Photo 3 says “But I can promise you it’s not a date.”

Photo 1 says with a little slick smirk “Okay…..if you says so.”

Photo 1 then looks at her black iPhone.

Photo 3 then looks down at photo 1 with a smirk handsome smirk on his face and says “I’m okay, you didn’t hurt me.”

Photo 1 looks shocked as she didn’t expect it to be photo 3, she then says “ Oh it’s you.” “ Did you have a class on this floor? “

Photo 3 then replies “No, I was just in the area and just saw you from the hallway.”

Photo 1 then say “ I see you had someone else make your coffee today.”

Photo 3 then says, “I haven’t touched it yet, just waited in line and didn’t wanna leave empty hand.” “You can have it if you want, it was made by someone named Tiffany.” 

Photo 3 then hands the iced coffee over to photo 1.
Photo 1 face lights up with joy as she says 
“THANK YOU!” “SO GOOD!”
Photo 1 then takes the iced coffee and drinks it with her eyes close and happy. 

Photo 3 then looks down (Because he his taller than photo 1) at photo 1 and smirks handsomely and thinks “You deserve to smile like this every day and I’m gonna make that possible, I wanna be the only one you think of.”
Book 2 – Chapter 33: The Boys’ Panic Meeting

The night before the college dance…

The girls were prepared.

The decorations were ready.

Jennie had her DJ set planned.

⸻

But somewhere else on campus…

Three boys were completely losing their minds.

⸻

The Dorm Room

⸻

Felix sat on the edge of his bed staring at his phone.

His blonde hair was messy, and he wore a black hoodie, gray sweatpants, and sneakers.

⸻

Han walked in wearing a blue-and-black jacket.

His black hair faded into blue at the ends.

He looked at Felix.

⸻

“You’ve been staring at that phone for ten minutes.”

⸻

Felix didn’t look up.

“I’m thinking.”

⸻

“You’re stressing.”

⸻

“I’m not.”

⸻

“You sighed six times.”

⸻

Felix looked up.

“How do you know that?”

⸻

Han pointed.

“I counted.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“That’s concerning.”

⸻

Han nodded.

“Very.”

⸻

The door opened.

⸻

Hyunjin walked in.

His red-tipped hair was styled perfectly, and he wore a black jacket with jeans.

⸻

“Why does this room feel like a disaster meeting?”

⸻

Han pointed at Felix.

“He’s trying to figure out how to ask Jennie to dance.”

⸻

Hyunjin immediately sat down.

⸻

“Oh.”

⸻

Felix looked at them.

“Can you both not make this worse?”

⸻

Han smiled.

“We absolutely can.”

⸻

The Plan

⸻

Felix stood up.

“Okay.”

⸻

Everyone listened.

⸻

“I want to ask Jennie to dance.”

⸻

Han nodded.

“Good.”

⸻

“But…”

Felix sighed.

“She’s Jennie.”

⸻

The room went quiet.

⸻

Hyunjin nodded seriously.

“Valid fear.”

⸻

Han raised his hand.

“Question.”

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“What if you just ask normally?”

⸻

Felix stared.

⸻

“That’s your advice?”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“That is the least dramatic advice possible.”

⸻

“Exactly.”

⸻

Hyunjin crossed his arms.

“Actually, I agree.”

⸻

Felix looked surprised.

⸻

“Really?”

⸻

“No.”

⸻

Felix blinked.

⸻

“I just wanted to sound wise.”

⸻

Han laughed.

⸻

“You are so dramatic.”

⸻

“Thank you.”

⸻

“That wasn’t a compliment.”

⸻

“I accepted it anyway.”

⸻

The Confessions Begin

⸻

A few minutes later…

⸻

Han suddenly became quiet.

⸻

Felix noticed.

“What?”

⸻

Han looked away.

⸻

“Nothing.”

⸻

“Han.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“…I might ask someone too.”

⸻

Felix raised an eyebrow.

⸻

“Who?”

⸻

Han looked embarrassed.

⸻

“Rosé.”

⸻

Silence.

⸻

Then Felix smiled.

⸻

“Wait.”

⸻

“You want to ask Rosé out?”

⸻

Han covered his face.

⸻

“Don’t make it weird.”

⸻

“You just made this whole room weird.”

⸻

Hyunjin laughed.

⸻

Han pointed.

“You’re one to talk.”

⸻

Hyunjin froze.

⸻

“What?”

⸻

Han smiled.

⸻

“You have someone too.”

⸻

“No.”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“No.”

⸻

“Jisoo.”

⸻

Hyunjin immediately turned red.

⸻

Felix and Han stared.

⸻

“OH.”

⸻

Hyunjin stood up dramatically.

⸻

“Fine!”

⸻

The room went silent.

⸻

“I do.”

⸻

Han gasped.

⸻

“He admitted it!”

⸻

Hyunjin pointed.

“Do not make this a moment.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

⸻

“So let me understand…”

⸻

He counted on his fingers.

⸻

“Han likes Rosé.”

⸻

Han nodded.

⸻

“Hyunjin likes Jisoo.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“And I’m stressed about Jennie.”

⸻

Everyone looked at each other.

⸻

Han smiled.

⸻

“We are doomed.”

⸻

⸻

The Practice Conversation

⸻

Han grabbed a pillow.

⸻

“Okay. Pretend I’m Jennie.”

⸻

Felix stared.

⸻

“No.”

⸻

“Do it.”

⸻

Han changed his voice.

⸻

“Hello Felix.”

⸻

Felix immediately laughed.

⸻

“That doesn’t sound like her.”

⸻

Han continued.

⸻

“Would you like to go to the dance with me?”

⸻

Felix shook his head.

⸻

“Jennie would roast me before finishing the sentence.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“Accurate.”

⸻

Han tried again.

⸻

“Felix, I have decided you are acceptable company.”

⸻

Felix froze.

⸻

“…That’s actually closer.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

The Final Advice

⸻

Eventually, the room became quiet.

⸻

Felix looked at them.

⸻

“What if she says no?”

⸻

Han shrugged.

⸻

“Then she says no.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“But at least you tried.”

⸻

Felix smiled.

⸻

“Thanks.”

⸻

Han stood up.

⸻

“Now…”

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“We need to practice my Rosé speech.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

⸻

“No.”

⸻

Hyunjin stood.

⸻

“And my Jisoo speech.”

⸻

“No.”

⸻

Han grabbed a notebook.

⸻

“Too late.”

⸻

Felix looked at the ceiling.

⸻

“Why did I ask for advice?”

⸻

Because tomorrow was the dance.

⸻

And three boys had three missions.

⸻

Felix: Ask Jennie.

Han: Ask Rosé.

Hyunjin: Ask Jisoo.

⸻

The only problem?

⸻

They were all terrified.

Photo 1 then replies to photo 2 with a smile and says “ I know, I think that’s probably why the decision of making your room choice is important. It’s because they give it to to you for your entire stay.”

Photo 2 then nods and agrees.

Photo 2 then says to photo 1 while yawning” anyway I’m gonna head to bed but I will see you in the morning. We need to go to orientation to pick up our classes.”
