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.
Chapter 1 – The Worst First Impression

The first bell hadn’t even rung, but the school was already buzzing with students.

Everyone had heard of the school’s two biggest stars.

Not because they were friends.

Because they couldn’t stand each other.

⸻

Jennie

Jennie walked through the hallway with effortless confidence. Her long, silky black hair, styled with soft curtain bangs like her iconic “Ice Cream” and “How You Like That” looks, flowed neatly over her shoulders. Her expression was calm and unreadable, making her seem intimidating without even trying.

She wore an oversized charcoal-gray hoodie over loose black cargo jeans with silver chains hanging from the pockets. Black-and-white high-top sneakers completed her outfit, while large silver headphones rested around her neck. A small silver ring decorated one finger, and her black backpack was covered with tiny music pins.

Everyone knew Jennie.

She was the school’s legendary DJ.

She made incredible remixes for pep rallies, dances, and school events.

She was also famous for roasting people with perfectly timed one-liners.

Most students were too scared to argue with her.

⸻

Felix

Outside the gym, Felix dribbled a basketball across the court.

His soft black hair was slightly messy after early morning practice, falling naturally over his forehead. He had warm brown eyes and an easy smile that made almost everyone like him instantly.

He wore a white athletic T-shirt underneath a black-and-red varsity jacket, relaxed black athletic pants, white crew socks, and spotless white basketball sneakers.

He was captain of the basketball team and one of the most popular students in school.

Girls constantly tried to talk to him.

He still didn’t understand why.

⸻

Jisoo

Walking toward class with a stack of neatly organized books was Jisoo.

Her long dark red hair shimmered under the hallway lights, perfectly brushed and tucked behind one ear. She carried herself with quiet confidence and always looked elegant.

She wore a cream-colored knit sweater, a black pleated skirt over black tights, and polished ankle boots. Small pearl earrings and a delicate silver necklace completed her look.

She was kind, responsible, and somehow always ended up cleaning up everyone else’s chaos.

⸻

Rosé

Music drifted from the auditorium where Rosé was helping set up sound equipment.

Her long lavender hair was loose with gentle waves flowing down her back. She had a relaxed smile that instantly made people feel comfortable.

She wore an oversized lavender cardigan over a simple white T-shirt, ripped light-blue jeans, and chunky white boots. Around one wrist were colorful friendship bracelets she had made herself.

She loved music almost as much as Jennie did.

⸻

Lisa

Standing beside Rosé was Lisa.

Her long ash-blonde hair with straight bangs framed her bright smile perfectly. Her eyes sparkled with mischief, usually because she was about to cause some harmless trouble.

She wore an oversized black bomber jacket, a bright graphic T-shirt, loose cargo pants, and colorful sneakers covered with tiny paint splatter designs.

Lisa loved dancing, laughing, and making every situation ten times more chaotic.

⸻

Han

Han hurried through the hallway carrying way too many notebooks.

His soft brown hair looked like he had forgotten to brush it after waking up, giving him a permanently messy look.

He wore a green hoodie under a denim jacket, dark jeans, and comfortable sneakers.

He talked nonstop, laughed at nearly everything, and somehow always knew the latest school gossip before anyone else.

⸻

Hyunjin

Leaning against a classroom doorway was Hyunjin.

His long blond hair was perfectly styled, making him look like he had stepped straight out of a fashion magazine.

He wore an oversized cream sweater, black wide-leg trousers, layered silver necklaces, and clean designer sneakers.

He was artistic, dramatic, and believed every ordinary moment deserved movie-level slow motion.

⸻

The first bell echoed through the school.

Jennie adjusted the headphones around her neck.

Felix bounced his basketball one last time.

Neither of them knew it yet…

But before the day was over, they would already be arguing.
Chapter 37 – The Countdown to Graduation

The announcement appeared on every hallway screen.

“Graduation Ceremony: Two Weeks Away.”

⸻

The entire school changed overnight.

Suddenly…

Everyone was talking about memories.

Photos.

Last performances.

Future plans.

⸻

Jennie stood in the hallway staring at the announcement.

Her blonde hair was styled in loose waves, and she wore a black oversized jacket, a white top, baggy jeans, and her favorite boots.

For once…

She wasn’t making a joke.

⸻

Felix noticed.

His black hair was slightly messy, and he wore his varsity jacket, black shirt, athletic pants, and sneakers.

“You okay?”

Jennie looked at him.

“Yeah.”

A pause.

“Just weird.”

“What?”

“Everything.”

⸻

Felix looked at the graduation poster.

“I know.”

“It feels like yesterday we couldn’t stand each other.”

Jennie smirked.

“You couldn’t stand me.”

Felix laughed.

“You roasted me every five seconds.”

“You deserved it.”

⸻

Han suddenly appeared.

His messy brown hair was covered by a graduation cap he wasn’t supposed to be wearing yet.

“I heard emotional conversations.”

Everyone groaned.

⸻

Lisa walked over laughing.

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

“Why are you wearing that?”

Han looked proud.

“I’m preparing.”

“For what?”

“My future as the best graduate.”

“We haven’t graduated yet.”

“Details.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

Her lavender hair fell over her shoulders, and she wore a soft sweater and jeans.

“He’s been practicing his graduation speech.”

Jisoo looked concerned.

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

“How long is it?”

Han looked away.

“…Forty minutes.”

Everyone:

“No.”

⸻

Hyunjin arrived dramatically.

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

“Graduation is the end of one era…”

Everyone stared.

“And the beginning of another.”

Han nodded.

“Exactly.”

Jennie whispered to Felix:

“They are both dramatic.”

Felix whispered back:

“Extremely.”

⸻

Later that day…

The group practiced for the ceremony.

⸻

Jennie was helping organize the music.

Felix was helping with the sports awards.

Han was somehow distracting everyone.

⸻

“Han.”

“What?”

“Why are you spinning in the graduation chair?”

“Testing durability.”

“Why?”

“In case I become too successful.”

⸻

Jennie shook her head.

“You are impossible.”

Han smiled.

“Thank you.”

⸻

After practice…

Jennie and Felix stayed behind.

The empty auditorium was quiet.

Rows of chairs filled the room.

The stage lights were on.

⸻

Felix looked around.

“Can’t believe we’re almost done.”

Jennie nodded.

“Yeah.”

⸻

He smiled.

“You know…”

“What?”

“If we met on the first day again…”

“I would still roast you.”

“I know.”

“And you would still annoy me.”

“I know.”

⸻

A small smile appeared on Jennie’s face.

“But…”

Felix looked at her.

“But?”

She looked away.

“…I’m glad we met.”

⸻

Felix smiled.

“Me too.”

⸻

A moment passed.

Then…

Jennie pointed at his outfit.

“Your graduation suit better not look weird.”

Felix blinked.

“That was the moment you chose to roast me?”

“Of course.”

He laughed.

“Never change.”

⸻

The auditorium lights turned off.

They walked out together.

Graduation was coming.

A new chapter was beginning.

But one thing was guaranteed…

Even with diplomas…

New futures…

And everything changing…

Jennie and Felix would still find a way to annoy each other.
Chapter 3 – Detention… Together?

The next morning, the school was already loud.

Everyone was talking about the same thing.

Jennie and Felix.

The school’s coolest DJ and its basketball star had officially become the school’s funniest rivalry.

⸻

Jennie walked through the hallway with her long black hair falling smoothly over her shoulders, styled with soft curtain bangs like her famous “Ice Cream” and “How You Like That” looks. She wore an oversized charcoal hoodie, loose black cargo pants with silver chains, and black-and-white high-top sneakers. Her silver headphones rested around her neck, ready for whenever inspiration hit.

She was the school’s legendary DJ.

And also the person most likely to destroy someone’s confidence with one sentence.

⸻

Felix entered from the gym hallway, carrying his basketball.

His soft black hair was slightly messy from practice, falling naturally over his forehead. He wore a black-and-red varsity jacket over a white T-shirt, relaxed black athletic pants, and clean white basketball sneakers.

He was the captain of the basketball team.

Popular.

Talented.

And still confused why Jennie didn’t think he was impressive.

⸻

Walking beside Felix was Han.

Han’s soft brown hair was slightly messy, with a few strands sticking up like he had rushed out of bed. His expressive eyes always gave away when he was about to make a joke. He wore an oversized dark green hoodie layered under a denim jacket, relaxed black jeans, and comfortable white sneakers. His backpack hung from one shoulder, usually filled with random snacks, notebooks, and things nobody understood why he carried.

Han was the school’s unofficial comedian.

He loved drama.

Especially when the drama involved Jennie and Felix arguing.

⸻

Near the music room, Rosé adjusted her headphones.

Her long lavender hair fell in soft waves down her back. She wore an oversized lavender cardigan over a white T-shirt, ripped light-blue jeans, and chunky white boots. Her style was relaxed but artistic, matching her love for music.

She smiled when she saw Jennie.

“This is going to be interesting.”

⸻

Lisa appeared beside her with a mischievous grin.

Her long ash-blonde hair with bangs framed her face perfectly. She wore an oversized black bomber jacket, a graphic T-shirt, baggy cargo pants, and colorful sneakers.

Lisa loved chaos.

And Jennie and Felix provided plenty.

“I give them five minutes before they fight.”

Rosé looked at her.

“Five?”

Lisa nodded.

“Okay. Three.”

⸻

Jisoo walked toward class carrying her books.

Her long dark red hair was neatly styled, shining under the hallway lights. She wore a cream knit sweater, black pleated skirt with black tights, and polished ankle boots. A small necklace and simple earrings completed her elegant look.

She sighed.

“I already know today will be exhausting.”

⸻

Leaning against a locker was Hyunjin.

His long blond hair was perfectly styled, making him look like he belonged in a fashion magazine. He wore an oversized cream sweater, black wide-leg trousers, layered silver necklaces, and clean designer sneakers.

He watched the hallway dramatically.

“The energy today…”

Everyone stared at him.

“What?”

Hyunjin shrugged.

“It feels like the beginning of a legendary rivalry.”

Han nodded.

“He’s not wrong.”

⸻

Then the bell rang.

History class.

Everyone sat down.

Mr. Kim walked in carrying a stack of papers.

“Today, you will begin your group projects.”

The entire class groaned.

“Partners have already been chosen.”

Jennie immediately looked suspicious.

Felix looked nervous.

Mr. Kim smiled.

“Jennie and Felix.”

Silence.

“No.”

They both said it at the same time.

The class exploded.

Han slammed his notebook down.

“THEY AGREED ON SOMETHING!”

Lisa clapped.

“Historic moment.”

⸻

After class, Felix walked over.

“So we have to work together.”

Jennie looked up.

“Unfortunately.”

“You make it sound painful.”

“It is.”

Felix crossed his arms.

“You’re impossible.”

Jennie smiled.

“And you’re predictable.”

“How?”

“Basketball. Practice. Basketball. More basketball.”

Felix pointed at her.

“You literally carry headphones everywhere.”

“Because I make music.”

“And I play basketball.”

“Exactly.”

Felix frowned.

“What does that mean?”

“It means I create something people remember.”

Han gasped.

“OH.”

Rosé covered her mouth trying not to laugh.

Felix shook his head.

“You’re lucky you’re funny.”

Jennie smiled.

“I know.”

⸻

After school, they met in the library.

Felix opened the project instructions.

“We should actually work.”

Jennie nodded.

“Finally. A smart idea.”

Felix smiled.

“Was that a compliment?”

“No.”

“I knew it.”

⸻

Ten minutes later…

Felix dropped his pencil.

Jennie looked at him.

“Already struggling?”

“I dropped a pencil.”

“Exactly.”

Han whispered from another table,

“She turned dropping a pencil into an insult.”

Lisa nodded.

“That’s talent.”

⸻

Then Felix accidentally knocked over his water bottle.

It rolled into Jennie’s backpack.

She opened it.

Everyone waited.

She pulled out…

A rubber chicken.

Felix stared.

“Why?”

Jennie looked serious.

“Emergency purposes.”

“What emergency requires a rubber chicken?”

“Any emergency.”

Han laughed so hard he almost fell out of his chair.

Jisoo shook her head.

“I don’t even want to know.”

Hyunjin smiled.

“Perfect. The rivalry has a mascot.”

Felix laughed.

And Jennie tried not to.

But for a second…

She smiled.

Only a second.

Nobody noticed.

Except Felix.
Chapter 13 – The Class Where Everyone Noticed

Monday morning.

School.

The place where everyone pretended they were focused…

But really?

Everyone was watching everyone else.

Especially Jennie and Felix.

⸻

Jennie walked into class.

Her long black hair with soft curtain bangs framed her face. She wore an oversized black hoodie, baggy cargo pants with silver chains, black-and-white sneakers, and her silver headphones hanging around her neck.

She sat down at her desk.

Then immediately noticed something.

Felix was sitting two seats away.

⸻

Felix looked up.

His soft black hair was slightly messy, and he wore a black varsity jacket over a white T-shirt, black athletic pants, and white basketball sneakers.

They stared at each other.

One second.

Two seconds.

Then both looked away.

⸻

Han noticed immediately.

His soft brown hair was messy, and he wore an oversized green hoodie, black jeans, and white sneakers.

He leaned toward Lisa.

“Something is wrong.”

Lisa smiled.

Her long ash-blonde hair with bangs framed her face, and she wore a black jacket, graphic shirt, cargo pants, and colorful sneakers.

“Something is definitely wrong.”

⸻

Rosé sat behind them.

Her long lavender hair fell over her shoulders. She wore an oversized lavender cardigan, ripped jeans, and white boots.

“They’re acting normal.”

Jisoo looked up.

Her long dark red hair was neatly styled, and she wore a cream sweater, black pants, and ankle boots.

“Which means they’re not normal.”

⸻

The teacher walked in.

“Good morning, class.”

Everyone sat down.

“Today we will be doing partner work.”

The entire class immediately became interested.

Because everyone knew…

Partner work meant chaos.

⸻

The teacher looked at the list.

“Jennie and Felix.”

Silence.

The entire room turned.

Jennie slowly looked at Felix.

Felix slowly looked at Jennie.

“No.”

“Agreed.”

The teacher looked confused.

“You haven’t even started.”

⸻

Han whispered.

“This is going to be amazing.”

Lisa smiled.

“Or a disaster.”

“Both.”

⸻

They moved their desks together.

Felix looked at the assignment.

“Okay. Let’s just finish this.”

Jennie nodded.

“Finally, something we agree on.”

Felix smiled.

“Don’t get emotional.”

Jennie looked at him.

“You’re still annoying.”

“There she is.”

⸻

They started working.

For five minutes…

Everything was peaceful.

Too peaceful.

Then Felix wrote an answer.

Jennie looked at it.

“That is wrong.”

Felix looked offended.

“No, it’s not.”

“It is.”

“How do you know?”

“Because I read.”

The whole group gasped.

Han covered his mouth.

“She attacked his intelligence.”

⸻

Felix smiled.

“Okay, DJ girl.”

Jennie looked up.

“What?”

“You think because you can mix songs, you can solve everything?”

Jennie leaned closer.

“Better than you solving anything with a basketball.”

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Even Felix laughed.

Which surprised Jennie.

Usually he would fight back immediately.

Instead…

He just smiled.

⸻

The teacher walked by.

“Are you two arguing or working?”

Jennie and Felix answered together.

“Working.”

The teacher looked at their paper.

Then looked at them.

“Interesting way of working.”

⸻

During break, everyone surrounded them.

Han pointed.

“You two are different.”

Jennie frowned.

“How?”

“You actually enjoy arguing.”

Felix shrugged.

“We always argued.”

“Yes,” Lisa said.

“But now you smile while doing it.”

Jennie immediately looked away.

“No, I don’t.”

Felix smiled.

“Yes, you do.”

She turned.

“You are not helping.”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

“I think the funniest part is that you both still think nobody notices.”

Jisoo nodded.

“Everyone notices.”

Hyunjin dramatically placed a hand over his heart.

“The enemies-to-friends transformation…”

Han sighed.

“It’s literally just homework.”

⸻

The bell rang.

Everyone returned to their seats.

Jennie packed her bag.

Felix looked over.

“Hey.”

“What?”

“Good job today.”

Jennie raised an eyebrow.

“Was that another compliment?”

“Maybe.”

She smiled slightly.

“You’re getting weird.”

Felix laughed.

“And you’re getting nicer.”

Jennie pointed at him.

“Don’t ruin it.”

⸻

And as they walked out of class…

Everyone knew one thing.

Jennie and Felix were still the same.

Still competitive.

Still annoying.

Still roasting each other.

But now…

There was something else there.

Something neither of them wanted to admit yet.

Chapter 29 – Battle of the DJs

Friday night.

The biggest student DJ competition of the year.

The prize?

A trophy.

Bragging rights.

And a chance to perform at the city’s annual youth music festival.

⸻

The competition was being held at one of the city’s biggest music clubs.

Since it was a school-sponsored event for student performers, there were teachers, security, and families in attendance. The dance floor was packed, the lights flashed across the room, and a huge stage stood at the center with an impressive DJ booth.

The atmosphere was electric.

⸻

Jennie stepped backstage.

Her blonde hair was styled in loose waves with a few silver clips catching the lights. She wore a black cropped leather jacket over a silver top, baggy black cargo pants, fingerless gloves, and black combat boots.

She looked calm.

At least on the outside.

⸻

Felix found her adjusting her headphones.

His black hair was neatly styled, and he wore a black varsity jacket over a fitted black T-shirt, dark athletic pants, and white sneakers.

“Nervous?”

Jennie didn’t even look up.

“No.”

“Liar.”

“I’m professionally nervous.”

Felix laughed.

“I’ll allow that.”

⸻

Han suddenly burst through the backstage curtain.

His messy brown hair looked even messier than usual. He wore a green hoodie under a denim jacket with black jeans.

“I HAVE NEWS!”

Jennie sighed.

“Is it good news?”

“No.”

“Then I don’t want it.”

⸻

Lisa walked in behind him.

Her ash-blonde hair with bangs was perfectly curled. She wore a black jacket, silver cargo pants, and platform boots.

“The audience is huge.”

Rosé smiled.

Her lavender hair shimmered under the stage lights. She wore a lavender jacket, ripped jeans, and white boots.

“They’re already cheering.”

⸻

Jisoo adjusted Jennie’s jacket.

Her red hair was tied into a sleek ponytail, and she wore a cream blazer, black pants, and ankle boots.

“You’ve practiced for this.”

“You’ve got it.”

⸻

Hyunjin looked around dramatically.

His blond hair was perfectly styled, and he wore a black designer-style jacket with layered necklaces.

“The energy…”

Han interrupted.

“Can you stop narrating life for five minutes?”

⸻

An announcer stepped onto the stage.

“Ladies and gentlemen…”

“Welcome to the Battle of the DJs!”

The crowd erupted.

Music blasted through the speakers.

Lights swept across the room.

⸻

Contestants took turns performing.

Each one had ten minutes.

Each one received huge cheers.

Jennie watched quietly.

Felix stood beside her.

“You ready?”

She nodded once.

“As ready as I’ll ever be.”

⸻

“And now…”

“Our final contestant…”

“JENNIE!”

The entire club cheered.

⸻

Jennie walked onto the stage.

The lights dimmed.

She placed her headphones on.

Closed her eyes.

Pressed play.

⸻

The first beat hit.

The crowd exploded.

Jennie mixed songs effortlessly, building the energy with every transition.

The dance floor filled in seconds.

Even the judges leaned forward.

⸻

Backstage…

Han’s mouth dropped open.

“Okay…”

“I knew she was good.”

“I didn’t know she was THAT good.”

Lisa smiled proudly.

“Told you.”

⸻

Felix couldn’t stop smiling.

He folded his arms.

“She’s incredible.”

Rosé looked at him.

“You’ve got the biggest smile in the room.”

Felix immediately looked away.

“I do not.”

“You absolutely do.”

⸻

Jennie’s final transition hit.

The lights flashed.

The crowd clapped in rhythm.

By the end of her set…

The entire club was cheering her name.

“JENNIE!”

“JENNIE!”

“JENNIE!”

⸻

She walked backstage, trying to stay cool.

“So…”

Han ran over.

“So?!”

“You nearly blew the roof off this place!”

Jennie laughed.

“Relax.”

“I will not relax!”

⸻

Felix walked up.

“You were amazing.”

Jennie smiled.

“You’ve said that before.”

“I’ll probably say it again.”

She nudged his shoulder.

“Careful.”

“Why?”

“You keep giving me compliments.”

He grinned.

“I’m just telling the truth.”

⸻

The announcer returned to the stage.

“The judges have made their decision.”

The room became silent.

“In third place…”

Cheers echoed.

“In second place…”

More applause.

Jennie squeezed her hands together.

Felix noticed.

Without saying anything…

He gently gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.

She looked at him.

He simply smiled.

⸻

“And this year’s Battle of the DJs champion is…”

A dramatic pause.

“…JENNIE!”

The entire club erupted.

Han jumped so high he nearly knocked over a chair.

Lisa screamed.

Rosé hugged Jisoo.

Hyunjin dramatically fell to one knee.

“I KNEW IT!”

⸻

Jennie stood frozen.

“Me?”

The announcer laughed.

“Yes, you.”

Felix gently nudged her.

“Go.”

“You won.”

⸻

Jennie walked onto the stage.

The trophy was placed in her hands.

She looked out at the cheering crowd.

Then down at her friends.

Then at Felix.

He gave her a thumbs-up.

She smiled.

A real one.

The biggest smile anyone had seen from her.

⸻

Han yelled from the front row,

“Speech!”

Jennie picked up the microphone.

“I only have one thing to say…”

The crowd waited.

She looked directly at Han.

“…You’re still annoying.”

The whole club burst into laughter.

Han placed a hand over his heart.

“I’ve never been so honored.”

Felix laughed harder than anyone else.

And somehow…

Winning the competition felt amazing.

But celebrating it with the people who had become her family…

Made it even better.
Chapter 15 – The School Festival Disaster

The rumor was supposed to disappear.

That was the plan.

Unfortunately…

The school had other plans.

⸻

The next morning, the hallway was covered with posters.

ANNUAL SCHOOL FESTIVAL – THIS FRIDAY

Everyone was excited.

Everyone except Jennie.

⸻

Jennie walked through the hallway with her usual cool attitude.

Her long black hair with soft curtain bangs framed her face. She wore a black cropped jacket over a graphic shirt, baggy cargo pants, black-and-white sneakers, and her silver headphones around her neck.

She looked at the festival posters.

“No.”

⸻

Lisa looked confused.

Her long ash-blonde hair with bangs framed her face, and she wore a black bomber jacket, cargo pants, and colorful sneakers.

“No what?”

“No festival.”

Lisa blinked.

“It’s one of the biggest events of the year.”

“Exactly.”

“So?”

“So everyone will be annoying.”

⸻

Han walked over.

His messy brown hair was sticking up, and he wore an oversized green hoodie, black jeans, and white sneakers.

“Correction.”

Everyone looked at him.

“Everyone will be annoying except me.”

Jennie stared.

“Especially you.”

Han looked offended.

“Wow.”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

Her long lavender hair fell over her shoulders, and she wore an oversized cardigan, ripped jeans, and white boots.

“You know you’ll have fun.”

“No.”

“You always say no.”

“And I’m always right.”

⸻

Jisoo smiled.

Her long dark red hair rested neatly over one shoulder. She wore a cream sweater, black pants, and ankle boots.

“You’re going to participate.”

Jennie looked shocked.

“Why does everyone think that?”

“Because we know you.”

⸻

Then Felix walked in.

His soft black hair was slightly messy, and he wore his black varsity jacket, white T-shirt, black athletic pants, and basketball sneakers.

He looked at the poster.

“Festival?”

Jennie immediately pointed.

“No.”

Felix smiled.

“You didn’t even let me speak.”

“I know what you’re going to say.”

“What?”

“You’re going to say basketball.”

Felix paused.

“…I was.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Later that day, the teacher announced the festival assignments.

“Every group will prepare an activity.”

The class became excited.

Then the teacher read:

“Jennie and Felix will lead the main stage performance.”

Silence.

⸻

Jennie:

“No.”

Felix:

“Wait, what?”

⸻

Han immediately started laughing.

“Oh, this is perfect.”

Lisa smiled.

“The universe is forcing them.”

⸻

Felix looked at Jennie.

“So…”

“No.”

“You don’t even know what I was going to say.”

“I know.”

“You’re impossible.”

“And you’re too confident.”

⸻

The problem was…

They were actually a great team.

Felix handled the crowd.

Jennie handled the music.

Together…

They made the entire performance idea better than anyone expected.

⸻

After school, they stayed behind to practice.

The gym was empty.

Jennie connected her DJ equipment.

Felix practiced his part.

For once…

They weren’t fighting.

⸻

Felix looked over.

“You know…”

“What?”

“You’re really good at this.”

Jennie looked suspicious.

“Are you complimenting me?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Because it’s true.”

She looked away.

“That’s weird.”

“You don’t like compliments?”

“I don’t know what to do with them.”

Felix laughed.

“That explains a lot.”

⸻

Jennie smiled.

Then immediately pointed at him.

“Don’t get comfortable.”

“There she is.”

⸻

From outside the gym door…

Han, Lisa, Rosé, Jisoo, and Hyunjin were watching.

Han whispered:

“They’re literally acting like a couple.”

Lisa smiled.

“But they’ll deny it.”

Hyunjin placed a hand over his heart.

“The slow burn continues.”

Jisoo sighed.

“It’s a school festival, not a drama.”

⸻

Inside…

Jennie and Felix continued practicing.

Still teasing.

Still competing.

Still pretending they didn’t care.

But everyone else knew…

The festival wasn’t going to be the only thing happening that week.
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.
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?

Chapter 20 – The Worst Kept Secret

The next morning…

Jennie had one mission.

Act normal.

That was it.

No smiling.

No looking at Felix.

No acting different.

Simple.

Except…

It was impossible.

⸻

Jennie walked into the dorm kitchen.

Her blonde hair was styled perfectly, and she wore a black oversized hoodie, baggy cargo pants, and black sneakers.

She grabbed a drink.

Everyone stared.

⸻

She stopped.

“What?”

Nobody answered.

Jennie looked around.

“Why is everyone looking at me?”

⸻

Han slowly put down his spoon.

His messy brown hair was sticking up, and he wore an oversized green hoodie, black jeans, and white sneakers.

“Interesting.”

Jennie narrowed her eyes.

“What does that mean?”

“Nothing.”

“Han.”

“Absolutely nothing.”

⸻

Lisa walked in.

Her ash-blonde hair with bangs was perfectly styled. She wore a black bomber jacket, graphic shirt, cargo pants, and colorful sneakers.

She looked between Jennie and Felix.

Then smiled.

“Oh.”

Jennie immediately pointed.

“No.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“Your face did.”

⸻

Felix entered.

His soft black hair was slightly messy, and he wore a black varsity jacket, white shirt, athletic pants, and basketball sneakers.

The second Jennie saw him…

She looked away.

The second Felix saw her…

He smiled.

⸻

Everyone noticed.

Immediately.

⸻

Rosé walked in laughing.

Her lavender hair fell over her oversized cardigan. She wore ripped jeans and white boots.

“Oh no.”

“What?”

“They’re doing the thing.”

Han nodded.

“The thing.”

Jennie looked confused.

“What thing?”

Jisoo smiled.

Her dark red hair rested neatly over one shoulder. She wore a cream sweater, black pants, and ankle boots.

“The thing where you pretend you don’t like each other.”

⸻

Jennie froze.

“We don’t.”

Felix answered at the same time.

“We don’t.”

Everyone stared.

⸻

Hyunjin entered dramatically.

His blond hair was perfectly styled, and he wore an oversized sweater, black pants, layered necklaces, and clean sneakers.

“Perfect synchronization.”

Han sighed.

“Please stop making everything sound like a drama.”

⸻

At school…

It was even worse.

Because apparently…

The whole friend group had eyes.

⸻

In class, Jennie was trying to focus.

The teacher was talking.

The board was full of notes.

Everything was normal.

Until Felix passed her a note.

She opened it.

“You okay?”

Jennie looked over.

Felix smiled.

She wrote back.

“Why wouldn’t I be?”

A few seconds later, another note came back.

“Because you’re avoiding looking at me.”

Jennie stared.

Then wrote:

“Because you’re distracting.”

Felix smiled.

“Good distracting?”

Jennie paused.

Then wrote:

“Don’t push it.”

⸻

Han, sitting behind them, saw the notes.

He leaned toward Lisa.

“They’re literally flirting through homework.”

Lisa smiled.

“Should we tell them?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“This is too funny.”

⸻

After class, Felix caught up with Jennie.

“You know everyone knows something is different.”

Jennie sighed.

“They know everything.”

“Probably.”

“I hate that.”

Felix smiled.

“No you don’t.”

Jennie looked at him.

“You’re annoying.”

“But?”

She tried not to smile.

“But…”

She looked away.

“You’re less annoying now.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

“That might be the nicest thing you’ve ever said.”

“Don’t get used to it.”

“Too late.”

⸻

From across the hallway…

Han watched them.

“Do you think they’ll ever admit it?”

Lisa shook her head.

“No.”

Rosé smiled.

“But they don’t need to.”

Jisoo nodded.

“They already know.”

⸻

And that was the funniest part.

Jennie and Felix spent months fighting.

Roasting each other.

Trying to prove they were nothing alike.

But somehow…

The person who annoyed them the most…

Became the person they looked for first.
⸻
CHAPTER: “SMALL TABLE, BIG SILENCE (JUST THEM)”
⸻

The rest of the restaurant faded into background noise.

Soft clinking dishes. Distant conversations. Warm lighting that made everything feel slower than it actually was.

But at this corner table—

the world had narrowed.

⸻

Lisa sat with Noah and Ari on either side of her.

And across from them—

I.N.

⸻

Lisa’s brown hair was slightly messy now, loose strands falling near her cheeks as she leaned forward over the table. She had taken off her hoodie earlier, leaving a simple black fitted top with cargo pants—comfortable, relaxed, fully out of “airport mode” and into something quieter.

Her expression had softened completely.

Not performer.

Not public figure.

Just mom who finally stopped moving.

⸻

Noah sat on her right, swinging his legs under the chair, hoodie slightly oversized, eyes locked on the food like it was a mission.

Ari sat on her left, pastel jacket unzipped now, hair slightly loosened, leaning into Lisa’s side every few minutes like she needed contact to stay anchored.

⸻

Lisa gently nudged Ari’s plate closer.

“Eat that first.”

⸻

Ari frowned.

“But I want that one.”

⸻

Lisa shook her head.

“That one is sugar pretending to be happiness.”

⸻

Noah immediately looked up.

“I like sugar happiness.”

⸻

Lisa pointed at him without looking.

“You already had sugar happiness this morning.”

⸻

Noah paused.

“…True.”

⸻

Across the table, I.N watched quietly.

His hair was softly styled, slightly parted from travel, and he wore a simple neutral jacket over a plain shirt with relaxed pants—calm, understated, not trying to stand out, just present.

He didn’t interrupt.

He just observed the rhythm of them.

⸻

Ari suddenly turned toward him.

“Are you quiet because you’re shy?”

⸻

I.N blinked.

“…A little.”

⸻

Noah leaned forward.

“Or are you quiet because Mom talks a lot?”

⸻

Lisa immediately looked at Noah.

“That was unnecessary.”

⸻

I.N smiled faintly.

“It’s… not inaccurate.”

⸻

Lisa sighed deeply.

“Traitor table.”

⸻

Ari giggled into her drink.

⸻

The food arrived in small plates, warm steam rising.

Lisa immediately took a small bite from each kid’s plate without warning.

⸻

Noah stared.

“That’s unfair.”

⸻

Lisa nodded.

“Yes.”

⸻

Ari copied her.

“You’re just checking.”

⸻

Lisa nodded again.

“Yes.”

⸻

Noah leaned back.

“This system is corrupt.”

⸻

Lisa pointed at him again.

“You’re still eating.”

⸻

That shut him up instantly.

⸻

I.N finally spoke softly.

“You do this often?”

⸻

Lisa didn’t look up.

“Daily survival protocol.”

⸻

Ari tugged her sleeve.

“Mom, you’re funny today.”

⸻

Lisa paused for a fraction of a second.

Then softened.

“I always am.”

⸻

Noah raised an eyebrow.

“No you’re not.”

⸻

Lisa leaned toward him slightly.

“I am when I’m not tired.”

⸻

I.N’s gaze softened a little.

“So… today is a good day.”

⸻

Lisa nodded once.

“Today is a finished day.”

⸻

Ari leaned against her again.

“I like finished days.”

⸻

Lisa gently rested her hand on Ari’s head.

“Me too.”

⸻

A quiet moment followed.

Not empty.

Just full in a different way.

⸻

Noah finally asked:

“Are you happy now?”

⸻

Lisa didn’t answer immediately.

She looked at both kids.

Then at the table.

Then across at I.N.

⸻

Her voice came softer than before.

“…Yes.”

⸻

Noah nodded like that was the only acceptable answer.

⸻

Ari smiled.

“Good.”

⸻

I.N exhaled quietly, almost smiling.

“That’s important.”

⸻

Lisa leaned back slightly in her chair, brown hair falling naturally around her face, no longer styled, no longer controlled.

Just her.

⸻

“I don’t need loud days,” she said softly.

“Just days that end like this.”

⸻

Noah tilted his head.

“With food?”

⸻

Lisa nodded.

“With food.”

⸻

Ari added:

“And us?”

⸻

Lisa didn’t hesitate.

“Always you.”

⸻

A small silence settled.

Warm. Stable. Real.

⸻

And for the first time all day—

there was nothing to fix, nothing to plan, nothing to perform.

⸻

Just a mother, two children, and someone quietly sitting across from them…

sharing a moment that didn’t need an audience to matter.
Chapter 31 – The Night Everyone Lost Their Minds

The dorm was chaos.

Absolute chaos.

And the reason?

Jennie still couldn’t decide what to wear.

⸻

She stood in front of her closet.

Her blonde hair was curled perfectly, but her outfit choices were covering half her bed.

“Why is this harder than performing in front of hundreds of people?”

⸻

The door suddenly opened.

Lisa walked in.

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

She looked around.

“Wow.”

“What?”

“You have created a clothing disaster.”

Jennie crossed her arms.

“I need help.”

Lisa smiled.

“I knew this day would come.”

⸻

Jennie held up two outfits.

“Which one?”

Lisa stared seriously.

“Hmm.”

A pause.

“Felix would like the first one.”

Jennie froze.

“How do you know?”

Lisa shrugged.

“Because Felix is a boy.”

“That explains nothing.”

⸻

Lisa picked up another outfit.

“Actually, wear this one.”

“Why?”

“Because it says mysterious DJ.”

Jennie nodded.

“Okay.”

“Wait.”

Lisa grabbed another dress.

“Actually this one says powerful.”

Jennie blinked.

“So which one?”

Lisa thought.

“Both.”

“Lisa.”

“Okay, okay. The dress.”

⸻

After another twenty minutes…

Jennie finally decided.

She wore a sleek black dress with silver details, a cropped jacket, and black boots. Her blonde hair fell in soft waves around her face, and her DJ-style accessories completed the look.

She looked confident.

Different.

⸻

When she walked downstairs…

Everyone stopped.

⸻

Han’s mouth dropped open.

His messy brown hair was sticking up, and he wore a denim jacket over a hoodie with black jeans.

“Okay.”

“What?”

“I forgot how to speak.”

Jennie raised an eyebrow.

“That might be the first peaceful moment you’ve ever created.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

Her lavender hair was styled softly, and she wore a pastel jacket with a black outfit.

“You look amazing.”

Jisoo nodded.

Her red hair was tied back elegantly, and she wore a stylish black outfit with boots.

“Definitely.”

⸻

Hyunjin dramatically looked up.

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

“The main character has arrived.”

Han sighed.

“Please stop.”

⸻

Then Felix walked downstairs.

His black hair was styled neatly, and he wore a black button-up shirt with a jacket, dark jeans, and sneakers.

He stopped.

Completely stopped.

⸻

Jennie noticed.

“What?”

Felix blinked.

“Nothing.”

“Felix.”

He looked away.

“You just…”

A pause.

“You look really good.”

⸻

Everyone immediately reacted.

⸻

Han pointed.

“HE FAILED.”

Felix looked confused.

“What?”

“You tried to hide the blush.”

“I wasn’t blushing.”

Lisa laughed.

“You absolutely were.”

⸻

Jennie smiled.

“Are you okay, basketball boy?”

Felix recovered.

“Yeah.”

“Because your face says otherwise.”

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Later…

The group arrived at the dance event.

Music filled the room.

Lights flashed.

Everyone was having the best time.

⸻

Jennie stepped onto the dance floor.

And Felix forgot everything else.

⸻

He had seen Jennie confident before.

On stage.

During roast battles.

During competitions.

But this was different.

She was just happy.

Laughing.

Dancing.

Not caring what anyone thought.

⸻

Felix smiled.

Han noticed.

“You are staring.”

Felix looked away.

“I am not.”

“You are.”

“I was just watching.”

“Exactly.”

⸻

Felix looked back.

And somehow…

He knew.

He was completely falling for her.

⸻

Meanwhile…

The rest of the group became a disaster.

⸻

Jisoo was trying to teach everyone a dance move.

“I am the instructor.”

Han looked confused.

“You don’t know the dance.”

“I know the spirit of the dance.”

⸻

Hyunjin joined.

“The movement represents freedom.”

Han stared.

“It’s literally just jumping.”

⸻

Rosé laughed so hard she had to sit down.

Lisa recorded everything.

“This is going to be used against all of you forever.”

⸻

Jennie walked over.

“What is happening?”

Han pointed.

“Art.”

Jennie looked at everyone.

“This is the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen.”

Felix smiled.

“And you love it.”

She paused.

“…Maybe.”

⸻

At the end of the night…

Everyone was exhausted.

They arrived back at the dorm laughing.

⸻

Felix helped Jennie walk to her room because she was tired from dancing all night.

“Careful.”

“I’m fine.”

“You almost walked into the wall.”

“The wall moved.”

Felix laughed.

“The wall moved?”

“Yes.”

⸻

He opened her bedroom door.

“There.”

Jennie looked at him.

Then suddenly pointed.

“You.”

“What?”

“You are officially my assistant.”

Felix blinked.

“Excuse me?”

“Carry my trophy tomorrow.”

“No.”

“Wow.”

She shook her head dramatically.

“After all our friendship?”

Felix laughed.

“You are impossible.”

⸻

Before leaving, Felix placed her trophy safely on her desk.

Then he smiled.

“Goodnight, Jennie.”

She looked at him.

For once…

No roast.

No comeback.

Just a smile.

“Goodnight, Felix.”

⸻

He turned to leave.

Then Jennie called:

“Felix.”

He looked back.

“Yeah?”

She smirked.

“Your dancing was terrible.”

He laughed.

“There she is.”

⸻

And as he walked away smiling…

Felix realized something.

The girl who used to drive him crazy…

Was now the person he never wanted to stop being around.
Got it — shifting tone to celebratory, relaxed post–business success, still manhwa-style.

CHAPTER: “SUCCESS IN SOFT LIGHT”
⸻

The moment the suite door clicked shut, the atmosphere changed.

Not into silence.

Into relief.

⸻

BLACKPINK had finally stepped out of schedules, meetings, and structured voices.

And into their own space again.

⸻

The hotel suite was warm and spacious—floor-to-ceiling windows showing a glowing night skyline, soft golden lamps already turned on, and a quiet living area arranged like it was waiting for something personal to happen.

A bottle of sparkling water sat chilled on the counter.

Someone had already sent fruit platters.

A handwritten note from the management team rested near the table:

“Congratulations on a successful business trip.”

⸻

Jisoo was the first to exhale fully.

She loosened the strap of her bag and set the folder down without perfect alignment this time—just enough to signal she was off duty.

Her white tailored blouse had its sleeves rolled slightly now, no longer strict. Her dark wavy hair slipped free from its pins as she walked further inside, finally letting it fall naturally around her shoulders.

She looked around once.

Then smiled.

Small. Real.

“We did well.”

⸻

Jennie dropped onto the couch first like gravity had permission again.

Her beige blazer came off in one smooth motion, revealing the fitted black top underneath. She kicked off her shoes gently, exhaling as if releasing an entire day through one breath.

Her straight dark hair fell over her shoulders as she leaned back, phone forgotten for the first time in hours.

“Finally,” she said, half-smiling. “A room that doesn’t want anything from us.”

⸻

Rosé walked to the window first.

Blonde hair catching the skyline glow like soft gold threads. She slipped off her gray blazer, leaving her cream blouse slightly relaxed at the collar. She held onto the railing of the window for a second, just looking out.

Then she smiled.

“We finished everything.”

Her voice was lighter than it had been all day.

Like music returning after paperwork.

⸻

Lisa kicked off her sneakers near the entrance without even placing them neatly.

Lisa

Her brown hair was loosened fully now, strands falling freely around her face. She tugged off her cropped jacket and tossed it onto the couch without ceremony, rolling her shoulders like she was shaking off invisible choreography.

Then she grinned.

“We survived meetings without falling asleep. That’s a win.”

⸻

Jennie laughed first.

Short. Real.

Then Rosé followed.

Then even Jisoo let out a soft, rare laugh.

⸻

It wasn’t loud like a stage.

It didn’t need to be.

⸻

Jisoo walked to the table, picking up the fruit platter.

“This is probably celebration food.”

She looked at it.

“…or reward food.”

⸻

Jennie raised an eyebrow.

“It’s definitely ‘we didn’t burn the strategy deck’ food.”

⸻

Rosé sat on the arm of the couch, legs tucked slightly, blonde hair spilling over her shoulder.

“I think we should call it ‘we did everything and didn’t argue too much’ food.”

⸻

Lisa pointed at her.

“That’s inaccurate. We did argue.”

⸻

Jennie nodded.

“But productively.”

⸻

Jisoo added calmly.

“With structure.”

⸻

A pause.

Then all four looked at each other.

And burst into a second round of laughter.

⸻

This one lingered longer.

⸻

The room finally felt like theirs.

Not a meeting room.

Not a hallway.

Not a schedule.

Just a shared space where success could sit down with them.

⸻

Rosé opened the balcony door slightly.

Cool air drifted in.

“Should we go out there?”

⸻

Jennie groaned lightly.

“No. I refuse to be philosophical on a balcony tonight.”

⸻

Lisa immediately stood.

“I’m going.”

⸻

Jisoo followed without hesitation.

⸻

Rosé smiled.

“…I guess I’m going too.”

⸻

Jennie stared at them.

Then sighed dramatically.

“Fine.”

⸻

Five seconds later, they were all outside.

City lights stretching endlessly in front of them like a quiet reward.

⸻

No stage.

No audience.

No conference tables.

Just four women leaning against a balcony railing, letting the night finally feel like it belonged to them.

⸻

Jisoo spoke softly.

“We finished it well.”

⸻

Jennie nodded.

“We did.”

⸻

Rosé closed her eyes for a moment, blonde hair moving slightly in the wind.

“We should do this more often.”

⸻

Lisa smirked.

“Business trips?”

⸻

Rosé opened her eyes.

“Winning them.”

⸻

Silence followed.

But it wasn’t empty.

It was satisfied.

⸻

Somewhere behind them, the room stayed warm.

Somewhere ahead of them, the city kept glowing.

And for the first time that day—

nothing needed to be planned.

Only felt.
Book 2 – Chapter 36: Operation Jisoo — Hyunjin’s Dramatic Disaster

After Han and Felix completed their missions…

Everyone thought Hyunjin would be the easiest.

⸻

They were completely wrong.

⸻

The Final Emergency Meeting

⸻

The dorm room was quiet.

Too quiet.

⸻

Felix sat on the couch.

Han was eating snacks.

⸻

Then…

The door opened dramatically.

⸻

Hyunjin walked in.

⸻

Slowly.

⸻

Very slowly.

⸻

Wearing sunglasses.

⸻

Everyone stared.

⸻

Han lowered his snack.

“What are you doing?”

⸻

Hyunjin removed the sunglasses.

⸻

“Preparing.”

⸻

“For what?”

⸻

“My greatest moment.”

⸻

Silence.

⸻

Felix blinked.

⸻

“You are asking Jisoo to the dance.”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“Not proposing.”

⸻

Hyunjin looked offended.

⸻

“I know.”

⸻

“Because you are acting like you’re proposing.”

⸻

Hyunjin ignored him.

⸻

“I need the perfect words.”

⸻

Han laughed.

⸻

“You mean a dramatic speech.”

⸻

“Exactly.”

⸻

Felix sighed.

⸻

“Oh no.”

⸻

⸻

The Speech Practice

⸻

Hyunjin stood in front of the mirror.

⸻

“Jisoo…”

⸻

He paused.

⸻

“When I first saw you—”

⸻

Han immediately stopped him.

⸻

“No.”

⸻

Hyunjin turned.

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“Too much.”

⸻

“But it’s meaningful.”

⸻

“It’s a dance invitation, not a movie ending.”

⸻

Hyunjin frowned.

⸻

“You’re ruining my art.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

⸻

“Your art is terrifying.”

⸻

Hyunjin tried again.

⸻

“Jisoo, you are the light that—”

⸻

“Stop.”

⸻

Felix covered his face.

⸻

“You can’t say ‘the light’ before asking someone to dance.”

⸻

“Why?”

⸻

“Because she might think you joined a poetry club.”

⸻

Han nodded.

⸻

“Or a drama competition.”

⸻

Hyunjin sighed.

⸻

“You two have no romance.”

⸻

⸻

Operation Begins

⸻

The next day…

Hyunjin found Jisoo in the garden.

⸻

Jisoo was sitting peacefully.

Her long blonde hair with lavender-pink tips moved softly in the breeze.

She wore a cream cardigan, a simple dress, and sneakers.

⸻

Hyunjin walked toward her.

⸻

Slowly.

⸻

Jisoo looked up.

⸻

“Why are you walking like you’re entering a stage?”

⸻

Hyunjin stopped.

⸻

“Do I do that?”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“Okay.”

⸻

He sat down.

⸻

Jisoo smiled.

⸻

“Are you okay?”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“You look nervous.”

⸻

“I am not.”

⸻

“You are.”

⸻

Hyunjin sighed.

⸻

“Why is everyone so good at noticing things?”

⸻

Jisoo laughed.

⸻

⸻

The Actual Question

⸻

Hyunjin took a breath.

⸻

“Jisoo.”

⸻

She looked at him.

⸻

“I wanted to ask…”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

Han’s voice appeared in his head:

“Don’t make it a movie.”

⸻

Felix’s voice:

“Don’t say ‘light.’”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“Would you go to the dance with me?”

⸻

Simple.

⸻

Normal.

⸻

Jisoo blinked.

⸻

Then smiled.

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

Hyunjin froze.

⸻

“Wait.”

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“That’s it?”

⸻

Jisoo laughed.

⸻

“What did you expect?”

⸻

“I don’t know.”

⸻

“You looked like you were about to give a speech.”

⸻

Hyunjin looked away.

⸻

“I prepared one.”

⸻

Jisoo smiled.

⸻

“Of course you did.”

⸻

⸻

Back at the Dorm

⸻

Hyunjin walked in.

⸻

Felix and Han looked up.

⸻

“Well?”

⸻

Hyunjin stood silently.

⸻

Then…

⸻

He dramatically fell onto the couch.

⸻

“I succeeded.”

⸻

Han laughed.

⸻

“Did you survive?”

⸻

“Barely.”

⸻

Felix smiled.

⸻

“Did you say the speech?”

⸻

Hyunjin looked offended.

⸻

“No.”

⸻

“Good.”

⸻

“Why?”

⸻

“Because it would have taken an hour.”

⸻

Hyunjin crossed his arms.

⸻

“It was beautiful.”

⸻

Han nodded.

⸻

“I’m sure it was.”

⸻

“You’re mocking me.”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Three missions.

⸻

Three successes.

⸻

Han and Rosé.

Felix and Jennie.

Hyunjin and Jisoo.

⸻

Now only one thing remained…

⸻

The college dance.

⸻

And everyone knew…

With Jennie as the DJ…

It was going to be unforgettable.
Kaito, 20 year old skinny guy who is  lift and carry enthusiast, asks if she can lift the kitchen table. Asuna tries and lifts it with her arms and then tries with her legs. Kaito becomes so nervous and gulps. Then she asks if she can lift the TV. She does that as well. Kaita is enjoying the sight. Asuna is giggling. Asuna is a 4'11 skinny girl with long black hair, 20 years old, and is wearing a long white dress with bare feet.
Chapter 17 – The Festival Countdown

The school festival was only three days away.

And somehow…

Everything was becoming more chaotic.

⸻

The biggest problem?

Everyone had discovered Jennie’s new blonde hair.

And they were not letting it go.

⸻

Jennie walked through the school hallway.

Her blonde hair fell in soft waves around her face, looking completely different from her old black hair. She wore a black leather jacket over a graphic shirt, baggy cargo pants, black boots, and her silver headphones around her neck.

She was still Jennie.

Still confident.

Still impossible to embarrass.

At least…

That was what she thought.

⸻

“BLONDE JENNIE!”

Han shouted from across the hallway.

Everyone turned.

Jennie stopped walking.

Slowly…

She looked at him.

“Do you want to survive today?”

Han froze.

His messy brown hair stuck up, and he wore his oversized green hoodie, black jeans, and white sneakers.

“I was just appreciating the new look.”

“You were yelling.”

“Appreciating loudly.”

⸻

Lisa laughed.

Her ash-blonde hair with bangs framed her face, and she wore her black bomber jacket, cargo pants, and colorful sneakers.

“I think Han likes the new hair more than you do.”

Han nodded.

“It’s iconic.”

Jennie rolled her eyes.

“You all are dramatic.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

Her lavender hair fell over her oversized cardigan. She wore ripped jeans and white boots.

“You’re secretly happy everyone likes it.”

“No.”

“Yes.”

“No.”

“Your face says yes.”

Jennie immediately covered her expression.

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Then Felix walked in.

His soft black hair was slightly messy, and he wore his black varsity jacket, white T-shirt, athletic pants, and basketball sneakers.

He stopped when he saw Jennie.

Not because he hadn’t seen the blonde hair before.

But because every time he saw it…

It surprised him.

⸻

Jennie noticed.

“What?”

Felix blinked.

“Nothing.”

“You stared.”

“I did not.”

“You did.”

Han whispered:

“He definitely did.”

⸻

Felix ignored him.

“It just looks different.”

Jennie crossed her arms.

“Is that good or bad?”

Felix thought.

“Good.”

A small smile appeared.

“Really good.”

⸻

The hallway immediately exploded.

Lisa covered her mouth.

Rosé laughed.

Han looked shocked.

“He said it again.”

⸻

Jennie looked at Felix.

“You know…”

“What?”

“You’re getting suspiciously nice.”

Felix smiled.

“Maybe you’re getting used to it.”

She opened her mouth.

Then closed it.

Because she had no comeback.

⸻

Later that day…

The festival team met in the gym.

The stage lights were being tested.

The music equipment was being set up.

And Jennie and Felix were in charge.

⸻

Felix practiced his basketball performance.

Jennie worked on the music.

The two of them somehow worked perfectly together.

Which annoyed them both.

⸻

Felix looked over.

“You’re good at this.”

Jennie glanced up.

“At what?”

“Making everything come together.”

She shrugged.

“It’s what I do.”

“No.”

He shook his head.

“It’s more than that.”

Jennie paused.

Because Felix wasn’t joking.

⸻

Before she could respond…

The speakers suddenly blasted music.

Everyone jumped.

Han covered his ears.

“JENNIE!”

“What?”

“You almost destroyed my hearing.”

“You’re welcome.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

And Jennie smiled.

⸻

From across the gym…

Lisa watched them.

“They’re getting worse.”

Rosé nodded.

“Definitely.”

Jisoo smiled.

“But in a good way.”

Hyunjin placed a hand over his heart.

“The festival will reveal everything.”

Han sighed.

“It’s literally just a school event.”

⸻

But none of them knew…

The festival wasn’t just going to be about music.

Or basketball.

Or performances.

Because something was about to happen…

That would change the way everyone saw Jennie and Felix.
Chapter 11 – The Night Felix Saw The Real Jennie

It was finally night.

The city lights were glowing, the streets were busy, and for once…

Jennie wasn’t in the dorm arguing with Felix.

She was with Mina.

⸻

Jennie walked into the lounge and found Mina waiting.

Her long black hair with soft curtain bangs framed her face. She wore a black jacket over a fitted top, baggy cargo pants, and her favorite sneakers. Her silver headphones rested around her neck.

Mina smiled.

“You actually came.”

Jennie sat down.

“Don’t sound so surprised.”

“I am surprised.”

“Rude.”

“Accurate.”

Jennie rolled her eyes.

⸻

The night started normally.

They talked.

They laughed.

They caught up.

Mina ordered two giant colorful mocktails.

Jennie stared at hers.

“Why is it so big?”

Mina shrugged.

“You need something fun.”

“I have fun.”

Mina looked at her.

“You argued with Felix for twenty minutes yesterday about a pillow.”

Jennie paused.

“That pillow was important.”

Mina laughed.

⸻

As the night went on…

Jennie became less and less like the Jennie everyone knew.

The serious DJ.

The queen of roasting.

The girl who always had the perfect comeback.

Gone.

⸻

Mina stared as Jennie laughed at the menu.

“Why are you laughing?”

Jennie pointed.

“Look.”

“It’s a menu.”

“No.”

She held it closer.

“The salad has a personality.”

Mina blinked.

“…What?”

“It looks judgmental.”

Mina covered her face.

“Oh no.”

⸻

Five minutes later…

Jennie was trying to convince Mina that a tiny decoration on the table was “the world’s smallest DJ.”

Mina looked at it.

“It’s a candle.”

Jennie nodded seriously.

“Exactly.”

“How is that a DJ?”

“It has a stand.”

Mina burst out laughing.

⸻

Then suddenly…

Jennie got quiet.

Mina noticed.

The goofy smile disappeared.

“You okay?”

Jennie looked down.

“Yeah.”

But Mina knew her too well.

“Jennie.”

A pause.

“I just…”

Jennie looked at her drink.

“Everyone thinks I’m cold.”

Mina softened.

“Because you pretend you are.”

Jennie didn’t answer.

⸻

Mina sighed.

“Okay.”

She pulled out her phone.

“I’m calling someone.”

Jennie immediately looked up.

“No.”

Mina smiled.

“Yes.”

“No Felix.”

Mina raised an eyebrow.

“You said Felix before I did.”

Jennie froze.

“That doesn’t count.”

“It definitely counts.”

⸻

Mina searched her contacts.

Felix.

Call.

⸻

Back at the dorm…

Felix was sitting on the couch.

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

Han was beside him eating snacks.

His soft brown hair was sticking up, and he wore an oversized hoodie with black jeans.

Felix’s phone rang.

He looked down.

“Mina?”

He answered.

“Hey.”

Mina immediately said:

“Felix, emergency.”

Felix sat up.

“What happened?”

“Your roommate has been replaced.”

Felix blinked.

“What?”

“The Jennie I know has disappeared.”

Han leaned closer.

“What is happening?”

Mina continued.

“She laughed at a menu.”

Felix paused.

“…A menu?”

“Yes.”

A pause.

“She also complimented a candle.”

Han covered his mouth.

“That sounds impossible.”

“It happened.”

⸻

Twenty minutes later…

Felix arrived.

He found Jennie sitting with Mina.

The second she saw him…

Her eyes widened.

“Felix!”

He stopped.

“Hi?”

“You came.”

Mina smiled.

“I told you he would.”

Jennie looked at Felix.

“You actually came.”

Felix nodded.

“Of course.”

She stared at him.

“Why?”

Felix looked confused.

“Because you’re my roommate.”

Jennie looked away.

“That is a very boring answer.”

Felix smiled.

“You wanted a different one?”

She immediately shook her head.

“No.”

A pause.

“…Maybe.”

⸻

On the way back…

Jennie was completely different.

She walked slowly beside Felix.

Then suddenly stopped.

“Felix.”

“Yeah?”

“You know your hair is nice?”

Felix froze.

“What?”

“Don’t make it weird.”

“I’m not.”

“You look surprised.”

“Because you never compliment me.”

Jennie nodded.

“True.”

“Then why now?”

She thought.

“Because I’m honest today.”

Felix smiled.

“Interesting.”

⸻

A few steps later…

Jennie looked at the ground.

Her smile faded.

“Do you actually think I’m mean?”

Felix stopped walking.

“What?”

“Everyone thinks I’m cold.”

Her voice became quieter.

“I joke because it’s easier.”

Felix looked at her.

For once…

He didn’t tease her.

“You know…”

“What?”

“I don’t think you’re cold.”

Jennie looked up.

“You don’t?”

“No.”

“Then what do you think?”

Felix smiled slightly.

“I think you’re someone who cares too much and doesn’t want people to know.”

⸻

Jennie went quiet.

Then her eyes watered.

“I hate that you’re right.”

Felix looked surprised.

“Jennie…”

She wiped her face quickly.

“I’m not crying.”

“I didn’t say you were.”

“Good.”

A pause.

“…Because I’m definitely not.”

Felix smiled.

“Right.”

⸻

When they reached the dorm…

Everyone was waiting.

Lisa immediately looked shocked.

“Wait.”

“Is Jennie emotional?”

Rosé smiled softly.

“She’s just having a moment.”

Jisoo nodded.

“Let her.”

Hyunjin dramatically whispered:

“The walls have fallen.”

Han nodded.

“The roast queen has been defeated.”

Jennie looked up.

“I heard that.”

Han immediately stood straight.

“She’s back.”

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Before going into her room, Jennie stopped.

She looked at Felix.

“Thanks.”

Felix smiled.

“Anytime.”

Jennie nodded.

Then quietly added:

“But don’t tell anyone I was nice.”

Felix grinned.

“Your secret is safe.”

And for the first time…

Jennie wasn’t annoyed that Felix saw the real her.

She was glad he did.

“But productively.”

⸻

Jisoo added calmly.

“With structure.”

⸻

A pause.

Then all four looked at each other.

And burst into a second round of laughter.

⸻

This one lingered longer.

⸻

The room finally felt like theirs.

Not a meeting room.

Not a hallway.

Not a schedule.

Just a shared space where success could sit down with them.

⸻

Rosé opened the balcony door slightly.

Cool air drifted in.

“Should we go out there?”

⸻

Jennie groaned lightly.

“No. I refuse to be philosophical on a balcony tonight.”

⸻

Lisa immediately stood.

“I’m going.”

⸻

Jisoo followed without hesitation.

⸻

Rosé smiled.

“…I guess I’m going too.”

⸻

Jennie stared at them.

Then sighed dramatically.

“Fine.”

⸻

Five seconds later, they were all outside.

City lights stretching endlessly in front of them like a quiet reward.

⸻

No stage.

No audience.

No conference tables.

Just four women leaning against a balcony railing, letting the night finally feel like it belonged to them.

⸻

Jisoo spoke softly.

“We finished it well.”

⸻

Jennie nodded.

“We did.”

⸻

Rosé closed her eyes for a moment, blonde hair moving slightly in the wind.

“We should do this more often.”

⸻

Lisa smirked.

“Business trips?”

⸻

Rosé opened her eyes.

“Winning them.”

⸻

Silence followed.

But it wasn’t empty.

It was satisfied.

⸻

Somewhere behind them, the room stayed warm.

Somewhere ahead of them, the city kept glowing.

And for the first time that day—

nothing needed to be planned.

Only felt.
Back view of a young Viking man riding a black horse on a dirt road toward a peaceful and wealthy Viking village in the distance. The village is still far away, with large wooden Norse houses, clean streets, a harbor with a few Viking ships, and green hills behind it. Only a few villagers are visible, naturally doing their daily work—blacksmith forging, carpenter working, merchant arranging goods, women carrying baskets, children playing, and fishermen near the docks. Nobody notices the hero because he is still far from the village entrance. No overgrown bushes or vines covering the houses. The village looks clean, organized, prosperous, and calm.

Chapter 13 – The Class Where Everyone Noticed

Monday morning.

School.

The place where everyone pretended they were focused…

But really?

Everyone was watching everyone else.

Especially Jennie and Felix.

⸻

Jennie walked into class.

Her long black hair with soft curtain bangs framed her face. She wore an oversized black hoodie, baggy cargo pants with silver chains, black-and-white sneakers, and her silver headphones hanging around her neck.

She sat down at her desk.

Then immediately noticed something.

Felix was sitting two seats away.

⸻

Felix looked up.

His soft black hair was slightly messy, and he wore a black varsity jacket over a white T-shirt, black athletic pants, and white basketball sneakers.

They stared at each other.

One second.

Two seconds.

Then both looked away.

⸻

Han noticed immediately.

His soft brown hair was messy, and he wore an oversized green hoodie, black jeans, and white sneakers.

He leaned toward Lisa.

“Something is wrong.”

Lisa smiled.

Her long ash-blonde hair with bangs framed her face, and she wore a black jacket, graphic shirt, cargo pants, and colorful sneakers.

“Something is definitely wrong.”

⸻

Rosé sat behind them.

Her long lavender hair fell over her shoulders. She wore an oversized lavender cardigan, ripped jeans, and white boots.

“They’re acting normal.”

Jisoo looked up.

Her long dark red hair was neatly styled, and she wore a cream sweater, black pants, and ankle boots.

“Which means they’re not normal.”

⸻

The teacher walked in.

“Good morning, class.”

Everyone sat down.

“Today we will be doing partner work.”

The entire class immediately became interested.

Because everyone knew…

Partner work meant chaos.

⸻

The teacher looked at the list.

“Jennie and Felix.”

Silence.

The entire room turned.

Jennie slowly looked at Felix.

Felix slowly looked at Jennie.

“No.”

“Agreed.”

The teacher looked confused.

“You haven’t even started.”

⸻

Han whispered.

“This is going to be amazing.”

Lisa smiled.

“Or a disaster.”

“Both.”

⸻

They moved their desks together.

Felix looked at the assignment.

“Okay. Let’s just finish this.”

Jennie nodded.

“Finally, something we agree on.”

Felix smiled.

“Don’t get emotional.”

Jennie looked at him.

“You’re still annoying.”

“There she is.”

⸻

They started working.

For five minutes…

Everything was peaceful.

Too peaceful.

Then Felix wrote an answer.

Jennie looked at it.

“That is wrong.”

Felix looked offended.

“No, it’s not.”

“It is.”

“How do you know?”

“Because I read.”

The whole group gasped.

Han covered his mouth.

“She attacked his intelligence.”

⸻

Felix smiled.

“Okay, DJ girl.”

Jennie looked up.

“What?”

“You think because you can mix songs, you can solve everything?”

Jennie leaned closer.

“Better than you solving anything with a basketball.”

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Even Felix laughed.

Which surprised Jennie.

Usually he would fight back immediately.

Instead…

He just smiled.

⸻

The teacher walked by.

“Are you two arguing or working?”

Jennie and Felix answered together.

“Working.”

The teacher looked at their paper.

Then looked at them.

“Interesting way of working.”

⸻

During break, everyone surrounded them.

Han pointed.

“You two are different.”

Jennie frowned.

“How?”

“You actually enjoy arguing.”

Felix shrugged.

“We always argued.”

“Yes,” Lisa said.

“But now you smile while doing it.”

Jennie immediately looked away.

“No, I don’t.”

Felix smiled.

“Yes, you do.”

She turned.

“You are not helping.”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

“I think the funniest part is that you both still think nobody notices.”

Jisoo nodded.

“Everyone notices.”

Hyunjin dramatically placed a hand over his heart.

“The enemies-to-friends transformation…”

Han sighed.

“It’s literally just homework.”

⸻

The bell rang.

Everyone returned to their seats.

Jennie packed her bag.

Felix looked over.

“Hey.”

“What?”

“Good job today.”

Jennie raised an eyebrow.

“Was that another compliment?”

“Maybe.”

She smiled slightly.

“You’re getting weird.”

Felix laughed.

“And you’re getting nicer.”

Jennie pointed at him.

“Don’t ruin it.”

⸻

And as they walked out of class…

Everyone knew one thing.

Jennie and Felix were still the same.

Still competitive.

Still annoying.

Still roasting each other.

But now…

There was something else there.

Something neither of them wanted to admit yet.
A tired young witch with short silver hair and a crooked black hat works the night shift at a tiny convenience store.

Panel 1: She stands behind the register at 2:00 a.m., staring blankly at a glowing blue ghost who has placed a cup of instant noodles on the counter. The store is empty, fluorescent-lit, and rainy outside. The ghost looks nervous and searches its transparent pockets.

Panel 2: The witch sighs and points to a handwritten sign that says, “NO SOULS, CURSES, OR ANCIENT COINS.” The embarrassed ghost holds up one ancient gold coin while the noodles begin floating beside it.

Style: supernatural comedy, expressive faces, detailed modern manhwa art, cinematic lighting.

Early morning. A narrow Korean street, shops just opening. Minji's kiosk is small, warm-lit, slightly cluttered but alive. Steam rising from the coffee machine. She's arranging things her own way — papers stacked at an angle, snacks displayed with no obvious system. The street is quiet. This is her time.
1 panel
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.
That's actually a good call. If you don't want him to feel like a copy of Sung Jin-Woo, avoid the black-and-purple shadow aesthetic. Since your MC uses **slime**, make the slime the focus instead of shadows.

Here's a redesigned prompt that gives him his own identity.

---

## Boss Slime King Prompt

> **A powerful young man with short, slightly messy black hair and piercing crimson-red eyes stands with perfect composure. His face is calm and unreadable, carrying the confidence of someone who has never lost a battle. He wears an elegant dark fantasy outfit with subtle emerald accents, avoiding the appearance of an assassin or shadow monarch.**
>
> **Surrounding him is an immense living slime unlike any ordinary slime. The slime is a deep obsidian black with glowing emerald veins flowing throughout its body like liquid energy. Instead of simply floating around him, it moves with intelligence, constantly changing shape into gigantic jaws, dragon heads, claws, shields, serpents, wings, and towering tendrils before melting back into a fluid form.**
>
> **The slime emits an overwhelming aura of predation. Every object that touches it—rocks, weapons, magical attacks, even light itself—is slowly dissolved and absorbed into its endless body. Small glowing particles drift upward as if reality is being consumed.**
>
> **Behind him towers an enormous slime titan formed entirely of living liquid, dozens of glowing emerald eyes opening across its body while countless mouths silently emerge and disappear. The creature appears ancient and unstoppable, existing only to protect its master.**
>
> **The ground beneath him is covered by spreading black slime that slowly consumes the battlefield. Crystals, broken weapons, and debris are partially submerged within the slime, hinting at countless previous victims. The atmosphere is silent and oppressive, making it feel impossible for anyone to approach him.**
>
> **His crimson eyes glow softly while the slime responds to his thoughts without commands, moving like a living extension of his own body. Instead of looking evil, he looks like an unstoppable king whose power has surpassed human understanding.**
>
> **Dark fantasy anime style, cinematic lighting, masterpiece, ultra detailed, dynamic composition, volumetric fog, glowing emerald energy, highly detailed liquid physics, terrifying monster design, powerful aura, fantasy battlefield, 8K, best quality.**

### Negative Prompt

> Sung Jin-Woo, shadow soldiers, purple shadows, blue aura, Solo Leveling, daggers, assassin outfit, black smoke, necromancer, low quality, blurry, cartoon, chibi, extra limbs, watermark, text, logo, bad anatomy

This makes him feel more like **the King of Living Slime** rather than a shadow monarch. His intimidation comes from an intelligent, ever-evolving slime that acts like an apex predator, giving him a distinct identity.

Konuşma — LEOPARD: "Where are all the animals?"
>> BÖLÜM SONU / CLIFFHANGER: The animals are gone... but where?
Shen Lang recognized them almost at a glance.They were several core actors from the Legend of Xiang Fei crew.

"Miaohan, I was planning to invite you to have a party together, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

Chu Gongze walked to Su Miaohan with a face of surprise.

"Mr.Su."

"Hello, Mr.Su."

Several other actors greeted Su Miaohan, a beautiful investor, with great respect.

"Hello everyone, are you here for a dinner party?"

Su Miaohan nodded coldly.

"Yes, the weather has been hot recently and everyone has been having a hard time filming, so I specially invite you all to come here for a little get-together."

While Chu Gongze was talking, his eyes glanced at Shen Lang from time to time.

"Miaohan, it looks like you don't have anything to eat either.Why don't you share a meal?There are so many people and it's so lively."

Before Su Miaohan could reply, Li Xiangling walked up to Shen Lang in surprise, "Shen Lang, you are here too."

Although Shen Lang did not participate in the drama "The Legend of Xiang Fei", the two still often chatted about the drama on WeChat during this period.Li Xiangling also got a lot of inspiration from Shen Lang, and the characters were enhanced a lot.

"Sister Xiangling." Shen Lang smiled back.

Li Xiangling looked at the others and introduced: "Let me introduce to you, his name is Shen Lang.He almost played the role of Yongquan, but unfortunately he couldn't perform due to an accident.But despite his young age, his acting skills are definitely top-notch.”

Shen Lang couldn't help but smile bitterly, Sister Xiangling praised herself too much.

It's just that he can see that other people are dismissive of him, so he doesn't rush to show his warm face to others' cold buttocks.

"Shen Lang, I see your food hasn't been served yet.Let's have some.I happen to have something I want to talk to you about."

Li Xiangling extended an invitation to Shen Lang very affectionately.

Su Miaohan frowned slightly.Of course Li Xiangling knew that the famous heroine in the entertainment industry was not only beautiful, but also single all the time.I don't know how many people coveted her beauty.

She couldn't figure out how such a big-name star could have a relationship with Shen Lang, and Li Xiangling's attitude towards Shen Lang was a little too affectionate.

This made her feel very uncomfortable.

"this."

Shen Lang was a little embarrassed, "Your crew is gathering for dinner and bonding.It would be inappropriate for us to participate."

"Everything here is in the same circle.If you don't see it when you look up, you won't see it when you look down."

Li Xiangling said happily: "Are you not going to give me this face?"

Shen Lang smiled bitterly, consulted Gu Wanxia's opinion, and had no choice but to agree.After all, Li Xiangling was really good to him.

He later heard Liu Jia say that after his role was removed, Li Xiangling had a fight with Director Hu Chunjiang over him.

A group of people came to a luxurious private room.

When taking her seat, Su Miaohan sat in a position on the left.On her left was Chen Meng, and on her right was Liu Yuanyuan, the second female lead in the drama "The Legend of Xiang Fei".

This resulted in Chu Gongze, her real boyfriend, being unable to sit next to her.

"Chu Gongze, please sit here with me."

Liu Yuanyuan reacted immediately, stood up with a smile and said: "It's all my fault for being ignorant.I originally wanted to get close to Mr.Su, but I forgot that you are Mr.Su's boyfriend.Hehe, don't be offended."

"Where, it's just a place."

Chu Gongze was very satisfied with her attitude and sat down on the seat next to Su Miaohan without hesitation.

No one else had any reaction.

Now the crew has spread the news that Chu Gongze is in love with Su Miaohan.Even the drama "The Legend of Xiang Fei" was specially created for Chu Gongze, which shows how much Su Miaohan cares about her boyfriend.

Shen Lang didn't respond, he lowered his head and played with his phone silently.

But Su Miaohan immediately looked over at Shen Lang to see his reaction.Seeing his calm expression, as if the matter had nothing to do with her, she felt a little irritated for no reason.

"Mr.Su, what do you mean?"

Gu Wanxia suddenly stood up, her face covered with frost.

She was simply stunned.

As Shen Lang's wife, Su Miaohan actually has a boyfriend, and she doesn't shy away from Shen Lang at all?

This simply trampled Shen Lang's dignity into the dirt!

Is there anyone who bullies people like this?

At this moment, she felt heartbroken.No wonder Shen Lang had been unwilling to mention his fiancée.It turned out that she was the kind of woman who could do anything with her husband!

This sudden accusation made everyone's eyes focus on her in shock.

Gu Wanxia stared at Su Miaohan with stern eyes, "You are Shen Lang's wife, and you are so blatantly looking for a wild man outside, can you be worthy of him!"

"What do you think of him?Do you have any sense of shame in hooking up with wild men outside in front of him?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene exploded instantly.

What!

Su Miaohan actually got married?

Married and looking for a man outside?

And in front of my husband?

Do women from rich families spend so much time having fun?

Suddenly, everyone looked at Su Miaohan strangely.

Su Miaohan looked like the kind of cold, iceberg-type woman who was hard to get in touch with, but she didn't expect that she actually had a fiery heart.

Shen Lang raised his head in shock, first glanced at Su Miaohan, who was frowning, and then immediately said: "Sister Wan Xia, please stop talking."

He really didn't expect that Gu Wanxia would stand up for him, and he was touched and anxious at the same time.

Because he didn't want everyone to know about the contract marriage.This was what he had agreed with Su Miaohan when they signed the contract.

Gu Wanxia looked at him with a look of pity, "Shen Lang, I know you are kind-hearted, but I can't watch you being bullied like this."

"Mr.Su, I know that your family is rich, and Shen Lang is just an orphan with no money and no power, but as a woman, since she is married, she must adhere to her feminine ways.Can you tolerate your conscience when you play with his feelings like this?"

"Since you have no feelings for him, you can divorce him.With your looks and wealth, Mr.Su, you can find any man you want.Why do you bully a kind man like this!"

"I need you to give me an explanation!"

You can hear the needle drop on site.

After all, this involved Su Miaohan, the investor.They couldn't say anything, but they also despised Su Miaohan in their hearts.With a husband at home, you just go out to play and bring the man to your husband.This is outrageous.

"Miss, you have misunderstood Miaohan."

Chu Gongze's expression was not very good.Seeing that Su Miaohan's face showed no intention of speaking, he couldn't help but stand up.

This matter is not only related to Su Miaohan's reputation, but also to his own reputation.

If word spreads, I'm afraid the Internet will explode tomorrow.

He even thought about what the headlines would be tomorrow.

"Shock!Chu Gongze is actually a mistress who interferes in other people's marriages?"

"The beautiful president of the Su Group cheated on the famous actor Chu Gongze during marriage!"

"It's outrageous!The beautiful CEO actually brought a popular young man to his original wife to show off his affection!"

Once this news explodes on the Internet, it will not be blocked, but it will definitely be a devastating blow to his career!
"If you keep staring at that page without turning it, the ink is going to start migrating onto your skin," Elias said, his voice barely a whisper.

He was leaning against the mahogany bookshelves of the university library, the scent of old paper and floor wax hanging heavy in the air. The silence of the archives was absolute, save for the rhythmic, distant thumping of a radiator that sounded like a failing heart. Elias wasn't looking at the books, though; he was watching the way the dust motes danced in the narrow slivers of light cutting through the heavy velvet curtains. He shifted his weight, the gray vest he wore feeling a bit too tight across his chest, and glanced toward the table where the other man sat.
A moody, atmospheric comic book panel set inside a dimly lit bar at night. Warm amber and deep shadow lighting. A hauntingly beautiful woman — Sara — sits alone at the bar, a half-empty glass of whiskey in her hand, her expression hollow and distant, dressed elegantly but disheveled, as if the evening broke something in her. Beside her, a tall, ethereally striking man — Alexander — has just settled onto the adjacent stool, his dark coat and timeless, almost otherworldly features cutting against the smoky bar backdrop. He is turning toward her, his gaze falling on her face for the first time — and in that instant his expression shifts: eyes wide, breath caught, something ancient and shattered flickering across his face. A supernatural visual effect overlays Sara's eyes — a ghostly double exposure of another woman's face, Eliza, soft and luminous, fading like a memory returning from a thousand years ago. The ghost image is tender, heartbreaking. The bar around them feels frozen, as if time itself paused. Moody neon signs bleed color into the darkness — deep burgundy, cold blue, faint gold. Comic book art style with bold ink lines, dramatic chiaroscuro shading, cinematic panel composition, emotional storytelling, noir atmosphere, highly detailed.
