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.

Got it 💗 I’ll keep it as a sweet high school romance — more about friendship, crushes, and emotions, age-appropriate. Chapter 9: Mixed Feelings A few days had passed at Seoul Arts High School. Things were changing. ⸻ Jennie and I.N were now officially together as a couple. Jennie, with her long black hair and confident personality, seemed happier than ever. She was still the popular student everyone knew, but now people got to see her softer side too. I.N, with his black hair and gentle smile, was slowly becoming more comfortable at the school. He wasn’t the new kid anymore. He had friends. He had a place there. ⸻ Lisa tried to focus on what mattered. Dance. Practice. The performance. Her long brown hair was tied back as she practiced in the studio after school. She kept repeating the same moves. Not because she needed to. Because dancing helped her clear her mind. ⸻ Rosé walked in with her blonde hair falling over her shoulders. “You’re still practicing?” Lisa smiled. “Just a little longer.” Rosé sat down. “You know you don’t have to be okay every second.” Lisa looked at her. “I know.” A small pause. “I’m happy for them.” Rosé smiled softly. “I know you are.” ⸻ The next day, I.N noticed Lisa was quieter. Not sad. Just different. During practice, he walked over. “Hey, Lisa.” She turned. “Yeah?” “You’ve been working really hard.” Lisa smiled. “Thanks.” “I just wanted to say… I hope you’re taking care of yourself too.” Lisa looked surprised. Then she laughed. “You sound like Chan.” I.N laughed too. “Maybe that’s a good thing.” ⸻ Across the room, Jennie saw them talking. She didn’t get upset. She just smiled. She knew Lisa and I.N were friends. And she trusted them. ⸻ Later, the group practiced together. Lisa danced. Rosé sang. Jennie helped with ideas. I.N played music. Chan organized everything. For a moment, everything felt normal again. ⸻ Lisa realized something. Even if feelings were complicated… their friendship mattered too. And sometimes… the strongest relationships start with simply caring about someone.
A young man in a crowded city awakens powers after a near-death accident, but every time he saves someone, he absorbs a portion of their pain. As the burden grows unbearable, he’s forced to decide whether being a hero means saving everyone—or learning who deserves to be saved.” If you want this to stand out, don’t just ask for “superhero”—decide: Is the hero powerful or limited? Is the conflict external villains or internal sacrifice? What is the price of using power? Without that, it becomes generic fast.
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.

The stage lights hit before the crowd even fully settled. A soft hum. Then a roar. And suddenly— the world was loud again. ⸻ BLACKPINK stood in formation, not as individuals anymore—but as a single pulse the stadium already knew by heart. ⸻ Jisoo stepped forward first, her presence steady like quiet light—soft pink in a world of black shadows, elegant and grounding. ⸻ Jennie followed with sharp confidence—black ink cutting through noise, controlled, powerful, impossible to ignore. ⸻ Rosé moved like emotion itself—blonde hair catching the light, a gentle pink glow stretched into sound, fragile and strong at the same time. ⸻ And Lisa took the center with precision—dark rhythm, black fire, movement that made silence feel like it was dancing too. ⸻ Pink. Black. Softness. Power. ⸻ The crowd chanted their name like it was one heartbeat. “BLACKPINK! BLACKPINK! BLACKPINK!” ⸻ Backstage screens flickered. Cities passed. Time blurred. ⸻ But on stage— they were timeless. ⸻ Jisoo smiled into the crowd, voice steady as she spoke between songs. “We missed you.” The stadium answered like thunder. ⸻ Jennie smirked slightly. “Let’s make this one unforgettable.” ⸻ Rosé closed her eyes for a second during a note— and when she opened them, the entire arena felt softer. ⸻ Lisa spun into movement like the music

"Thief... cheat..." people kept shouting at Vipin. Then the principal's words echoed in his mind. "That makes seventeen students gone. If I don't get even a single student today, I'll have no choice but to pack my bags and leave this school." Vipin didn't truly belong to this world anyway. In his previous life, he had been nothing more than a librarian. The last thing he remembered was seeing towering flames engulf everything around him before losing consciousness. When he finally woke up, he found himself in an entirely different world. It was exactly like the fantasy worlds he had only ever read about. Martial arts and combat techniques ruled this land. Martial artists were treated with the utmost respect, and strength determined everything. The strong ruled, while the weak had no choice but to obey. After transmigrating into this body, Vipin had imagined the usual story. He thought he'd become the weakest student in the academy, secretly possess incredible talent, shock everyone who looked down on him, win the heart of a beautiful girl, and live a carefree life. But something had gone terribly wrong. Instead of becoming the weakest student... He had accidentally transmigrated into the body of a teacher. And not just any teacher—the academy's most incompetent and unpopular instructor. Every other classroom was overflowing with students, so crowded that there wasn't even room to stand. Vipin's classroom, on the other hand... was completely empty. Not a single student was willing to attend his lessons.

CHAPTER: “STRAY KIDS / END OF REHEARSAL DAY” ⸻ The studio lights dimmed slowly as the rehearsal finally wrapped up. Music faded out. The echo of beats still lingered in the wooden floor, like it didn’t want to leave yet. Water bottles were scattered. Towels draped over shoulders. Sneakers squeaked lightly as everyone shifted out of performance mode. ⸻ Bang Chan stood near the control panel, checking the final notes on the session. His expression was calm but focused, already thinking ahead to the next schedule. “Good work today,” he said simply. ⸻ Lee Know stretched lightly near the mirror, adjusting his jacket. “Could’ve been cleaner on the second run,” he added, half-joking. ⸻ Changbin wiped sweat from his forehead, grinning. “Still better than yesterday.” ⸻ Hyunjin leaned against the wall, hair slightly damp, catching his breath. “It’s getting there.” ⸻ Han was scrolling through his notes, already humming a melody. “I think we should adjust the bridge again.” ⸻ Felix sat on the floor, smiling softly as he tied his shoes. “Energy felt good though.” ⸻ Seungmin picked up his water bottle, glancing at everyone. “We’re getting too chaotic in the chorus.” ⸻ I.N stood slightly apart, hoodie loose, dark hair falling over his forehead. He nodded quietly as he listened to the group talk. “It’s improving,” he said softly. “We just need one more clean run.” ⸻ Stray Kids naturally drifted together as they always did—voices overlapping, ideas bouncing, teasing mixed with focus. Bang Chan clapped once. “Alright. Wrap it up. Rest tonight. We go again tomorrow.” ⸻ Groans, laughs, agreement. ⸻ Felix stood up. “I’m starving.” ⸻ Changbin immediately pointed. “You’re always starving.” ⸻ Hyunjin smiled. “That’s his talent.” ⸻ Han laughed. “It’s consistent at least.” ⸻ Seungmin shook his head. “Let’s just go.” ⸻ Lee Know adjusted his bag. “Finally.” ⸻ I.N checked his phone as they started heading out. A message from Lisa still sat at the top. “Done for today?” He smiled slightly and replied: “Just finished. Heading home.” ⸻ Bang Chan glanced over. “Someone waiting?” ⸻ I.N didn’t look up. “Yeah.” ⸻ Chan nodded knowingly. “Good.” ⸻ ⸻ The group stepped out into the night together. Cool air. City lights. Another day completed. Stray Kids moved like one unit even off stage—laughter returning as they walked, tired but satisfied. ⸻ And behind them— the studio doors closed. Not an ending. Just a pause before the next beginning. ⸻ End of Chapter.
The house woke up slowly. No alarms. No staff. No schedule reminders buzzing in the background. Just sunlight spilling across wooden floors like it had nowhere else to be. ⸻ BLACKPINK had agreed on something rare the night before: A weekend with nothing planned. Not rehearsals. Not meetings. Not appearances. Just… time. ⸻ Jisoo was already awake, naturally. Her dark wavy hair was loosely tied back, a soft cream sweater resting over relaxed lounge pants. She stood in the kitchen quietly, making tea with the calm precision of someone who didn’t need noise to feel awake. The house always felt “started” when Jisoo was up first. ⸻ Jennie came in later, hair slightly messy, oversized shirt hanging off one shoulder, still half in sleep mode. She looked at the kettle. “…Is it too early to be alive?” ⸻ Jisoo didn’t turn. “Yes.” ⸻ Jennie nodded. “Good. We agree.” ⸻ ⸻ Rosé arrived quietly after, blonde hair tied loosely, soft cardigan wrapped around her like comfort itself. She paused in the doorway. “It smells like peace,” she said. ⸻ Jennie pointed at the kettle. “That’s just tea.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. “It’s still peace.” ⸻ ⸻ Then— fast footsteps. ⸻ Lisa entered the kitchen from the hallway, brown hair tied in a loose bun, hoodie slightly oversized, sweatpants soft and unstyled. No stage version of her. No work version. Just morning Lisa. ⸻ Behind her— Noah (now a 5-year-old boy) ran in first, socks sliding slightly on the floor. “I DECLARE THIS WEEKEND OFFICIAL FUN TIME,” he announced loudly. ⸻ Ari followed more carefully, pastel hoodie slightly oversized, hair neatly tied but already loosening. “That’s not how weekends work,” she said calmly. ⸻ Noah pointed at her. “It is if I say it loudly enough.” ⸻ Lisa sighed as she reached for a cup. “That’s also not how reality works.” ⸻ Noah considered this. “…Reality is negotiable.” ⸻ Jennie looked at Lisa. “He’s becoming a problem.” ⸻ Lisa nodded. “He’s been one.” ⸻ Noah smiled proudly. “I am consistent.” ⸻ ⸻ The living room filled slowly. Blankets appeared. Coffee cups moved around. People migrated like the house was pulling them into comfort. ⸻ Jisoo sat first, cross-legged on the couch, posture relaxed, watching everything like she was already enjoying the quiet unfolding. Jennie lay back fully on the sofa, arms spread. “I refuse to move for at least six hours.” ⸻ Rosé curled into the armchair near the window, blonde hair glowing in morning light. “I might read something,” she said softly. ⸻ Lisa sat on the floor, leaning against the couch, brown hair falling slightly over her face as she sipped her drink. Ari sat beside her immediately. Noah flopped down dramatically between Jennie and Lisa. ⸻ Silence settled. Not awkward. Not empty. Just shared. ⸻ Noah broke it first. “Do famous people also do nothing?” ⸻ Jennie lifted one hand. “We are doing it right now.” ⸻ Noah looked around. “…We are very good at it.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. “It takes practice.” ⸻ Jisoo added gently. “It takes permission.” ⸻ Lisa leaned her head back slightly. “…It takes exhaustion.” ⸻ That made Jennie laugh. ⸻ Ari leaned into Lisa. “This is my favorite kind of day.” ⸻ Lisa looked down at her. “Why?” ⸻ Ari shrugged. “Nothing is trying to win.” ⸻ Silence again. But softer this time. ⸻ Noah rolled onto his side. “I think the house likes us today.” ⸻ Rosé nodded gently. “It always does.” ⸻ Jisoo looked around. “It just waits for us to stop rushing.” ⸻ Jennie closed her eyes. “…Then we should stop more often.” ⸻ Lisa exhaled quietly. For once— there was nothing pulling her away from the moment. ⸻ Just the four of them. A child’s voice. A quiet laugh. A blonde head by the window. A steady presence in the kitchen. And a house that didn’t ask for anything in return. ⸻ Just a weekend. Not scheduled. Not earned. ⸻ Just lived.
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.

Ahora el protagonista se llamará Shinichi, y tendrá exactamente todo lo que me pediste: ✅ Rango SSSSS, el único, el más poderoso, nadie lo alcanza ✅ Personalidad: LIGURIOSO (vago, perezoso, duerme mucho) Y LUJURIOSO (ama a las mujeres, es muy apasionado) ✅ Tiene muchísimas esposas, todas lo aman y conviven felices ✅ Tiene cientos de hijos, todos fuertes pero NINGUNO llega al nivel de él ✅ Su vida: lujos, comodidad, disfrute y amor eterno Aquí tienes tu manga completo, con su nombre y todo tal cual lo quieres:   📖 Título: SHINICHI, EL DIOS SUPREMO SSSSS 👤 Protagonista: Shinichi Rango: SSSSS (Categoría única creada solo para él) Es el ser más fuerte que ha existido jamás. Su poder es infinito, puede destruir continentes, detener el tiempo, crear lo que quiera o borrar enemigos con solo pensarlo. Nadie, absolutamente nadie —ni monstruos, ni dioses, ni sus propios hijos— tiene ni una milésima parte de su fuerza. Su personalidad: - Ligurioso al máximo: Lo único que le gusta es estar acostado, descansar, dormir y no hacer absolutamente nada. Se queja si tiene que caminar, se queja si lo despiertan, se queja si tiene que mover un dedo. Su frase favorita: "¿Para qué moverme si puedo quedarme aquí disfrutando?". - Lujurioso y apasionado: Le encantan las mujeres, le gustan de todos los tipos, edades y razas. Es muy cariñoso, dulce y experto en el amor. Vive rodeado de ellas, las adora a todas y se asegura de que ninguna se sienta sola o desatendida. Para él, el poder sirve solo para tener a cuantas mujeres quiera y vivir en lujos eternos. - Su lema: "Puedo salvar o destruir el mundo cuando quiera... pero ahora mismo estoy ocupado: estoy durmiendo y abrazando a mis esposas. No me molesten." ¿Por qué todas lo aman? Porque con él están seguras de todo mal, tienen riquezas infinitas, viven en palacios llenos de comodidades, y Shinichi las trata como reinas, les da todo lo que piden y las ama con locura. Aunque es vago, con ellas nunca es perezoso cuando se trata de darles amor y placer.   💑 SUS MUJERES (Un harén inmenso, todas suyas) Shinichi tiene docenas y docenas de esposas, venidas de todos los rincones del mundo: princesas, guerreras, magas, diosas, reinas, chicas de pueblos, elfas, demonias, humanas... todas llegaron atraídas por su fama, su poder o su belleza, y decidieron quedarse para siempre. Ninguna pelea entre sí, al contrario, se organizan y se quieren entre todas, porque saben que el amor de Shinichi es gigante y alcanza para todas. Se dividen el trabajo para que Shinichi nunca tenga que hacer nada, solo disfrutar. 🔹 Las Cuidadoras: Se encargan de bañarlo, vestirlo, peinarlo, darle de comer y tener su habitación siempre lista con almohadas suaves y perfumes ricos. Su meta: que él esté siempre cómodo. 🔹 Las Guerreras: Son las más fuertes de todas. Cuando hay peleas, monstruos o problemas afuera, ellas salen a pelear. Dicen: "Nuestro esposo es un Dios supremo. Es demasiado hermoso y precioso para ensuciarse las manos peleando con simples mortales. Nosotras lo hacemos por él". Y aunque son muy fuertes, saben que si algo sale mal, Shinichi parpadeará y acabará con todo sin levantarse. 🔹 Las Consentidas: Son sus favoritas para los momentos de ocio. Su único trabajo es estar todo el día con él: abrazarlo, darle masajes, besarlo, dormir a su lado y complacerlo en todo lo que él quiera. Shinichi dice: "Estas son mis mejores esposas, hacen que la vida valga la pena". 🔹 ** Las Madres:** Son las que crían y educan a los hijos, pero siempre viviendo dentro del palacio de Shinichi, y enseñando a los niños desde pequeños: "Su padre es el ser más grande que existe. Su deber es amarlo, respetarlo y proteger su descanso". 📌 ESCENA CLAVE: Shinichi está recostado en una cama gigante, más grande que una casa, llena de sedas y pieles suaves. Tiene 5 mujeres a su lado derecho abanicándolo y dándole frutas. Otras 5 a su lado izquierdo haciéndole masajes en la espalda y el cabello. Otras más están sentadas en el suelo, leyendo o cantando suavemente para que él duerma mejor. Shinichi, medio dormido y feliz, dice con voz perezosa: — "Mmm... esto es vida... ¿verdad, mis amores? ¿Quién necesita gobernar nada si tengo todo esto aquí?".   👨👩👧👦 SUS HIJOS (Cientos de hijos, todos inferiores a él) De todas sus esposas, Shinichi tiene cientos de hijos e hijas. Son una familia tan grande que parecen un pueblo entero. ✅ REGLA DE ORO: NINGUNO HEREDA SU PODER. Aunque sus hijos son genios, fuertes, magos poderosos, aventureros de rango A o S, líderes de ejércitos... todos saben que frente a Shinichi son como hormigas frente a un gigante. No importa cuánto crezcan o qué logren, nadie llega ni a los talones de su padre. Él sigue siendo el único e incomparable SSSSS. 🔹 Cómo son: - Lo adoran como a un Dios y a su padre a la vez. Para ellos, Shinichi es el ser perfecto. - Son todo lo contrario a él: son trabajadores, activos, responsables. ¿Por qué? Porque crecieron con la enseñanza: *"Alguien tiene que hacer todo en este mundo para que papá
⸻ 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.
The airport exit doors slid open with a soft mechanical hiss. Cool evening air spilled inside, mixing with the warm indoor lights for a brief moment of contrast—like two worlds touching before separating again. Outside: waiting cars, muted city hum, fading daylight. Inside: arrivals, reunions, footsteps, and softened laughter. ⸻ BLACKPINK moved together through the terminal like a quiet formation returning from work. Each of them looked more human now than polished. ⸻ Jisoo walked slightly ahead, calm and composed. Her dark hair was styled in soft natural waves, slightly loosened from travel, falling neatly around her shoulders. She wore a cream-white fitted knit top layered under a light beige trench coat, paired with straight black trousers and simple flats. Her look was minimal, elegant, and grounded—airport-ready but still unmistakably refined. Her bag hung neatly from one shoulder, posture steady as always. ⸻ Jennie followed beside her, phone in one hand but no longer focused on it. Her dark hair was straight and sleek, parted cleanly in the middle, resting smoothly over her shoulders. She wore a black fitted top under an oversized charcoal blazer, paired with relaxed tailored trousers and clean sneakers—mixing structure with comfort. Her expression was relaxed but alert, eyes scanning the crowd once before softening. ⸻ Rosé walked slightly behind, blonde hair glowing under the terminal lights like soft golden thread. It was loosely styled in gentle waves, slightly tousled from travel but still delicate. She wore a soft ivory blouse layered under a pale gray cardigan, with flowing wide-leg trousers and simple shoes. Her look felt airy and gentle, almost like she belonged more to music than to airports. She held a small tote bag close to her side, posture calm. ⸻ And then— movement ahead. ⸻ A shift in energy. ⸻ Lisa appeared through the arrival gate. Her brown hair was tied loosely into a low ponytail, slightly messy from travel, with soft strands framing her face. She wore a black oversized hoodie layered over a fitted tank top, paired with relaxed cargo pants and comfortable sneakers—practical, effortless, lived-in. A small travel bag hung from her shoulder as she stepped forward quickly, eyes already searching. ⸻ And then she saw them. And everything softened. ⸻ Because running toward her were two small figures. Noah and Ari. ⸻ Noah wore a soft casual hoodie with light joggers, his hair neatly cut but slightly tousled from movement, eyes bright with excitement as he ran forward. Ari followed right behind in a pastel jacket and leggings, hair tied into a small neat style that bounced slightly as she ran, her expression bright and full of anticipation. ⸻ Lisa dropped her bag slightly without thinking. Her face changed instantly. From tired traveler— to something much warmer. ⸻ She crouched just in time. “Noah… Ari…” ⸻ Both children collided into her at once. “Mom!!” ⸻ Lisa wrapped her arms around them tightly, closing her eyes for a moment. Her voice softened completely. “I missed you both so much.” ⸻ Behind them, a few steps back— I.N stood watching quietly. His hair was softly styled, slightly relaxed from travel, and he wore a neutral-toned jacket over a simple shirt with slim pants—clean, understated, comfortable. His posture was relaxed, hands in pockets, expression gentle as he observed the reunion without interrupting it. ⸻ A few steps further back— BLACKPINK watched. ⸻ Jennie tilted her head slightly, arms loosely crossed. Her sleek dark hair framed her face as she observed the moment, expression shifting into something knowingly amused. Her black blazer hung open now, showing her fitted top underneath. ⸻ Rosé smiled softly, blonde hair glowing under the airport lighting as she looked at Lisa with the kids. Her cardigan hung loosely off one shoulder now, posture gentle, eyes warm. ⸻ Jisoo stood calmly, dark wavy hair framing her composed expression. Her beige trench coat moved slightly as she shifted her weight, hands resting lightly on her bag strap, watching with quiet understanding. ⸻ Lisa slowly stood again, still holding Noah’s hand while Ari stayed close at her side. She brushed a loose strand of brown hair away from her face, exhaling. Then looked at BLACKPINK. “…Don’t say anything.” ⸻ Jennie raised an eyebrow. “We didn’t say anything.” ⸻ Lisa narrowed her eyes. “You were thinking loudly.” ⸻ Rosé laughed softly. “We always are.” ⸻ Noah looked up at the group. “Mom, who are they?” ⸻ Lisa glanced at them. “My friends.” A beat. “…and occasional chaos.” ⸻ Ari tilted her head. “Are they nice?” ⸻ Lisa paused. Then nodded. “Yes.” Another pause. “…mostly.” ⸻ Jennie placed a hand on her chest. “Mostly?!” ⸻ Jisoo smiled faintly. “That sounds accurate.” ⸻ Rosé leaned slightly toward the children. “We’re very nice.” ⸻ Noah nodded seriously. “Okay. That’s acceptable.” ⸻ Lisa sighed. “I’m surrounded.” ⸻ Jennie smirked. “Correct.” ⸻ As they all began walking toward the exit together, the group formed an unusual but natural formation: business trip returns, childhood energy, and quiet family warmth all moving in the same direction. ⸻ Jennie glanced at Lisa. “So… full-time mom mode?” ⸻ Lisa adjusted Ari gently on her side. “It never turns off.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. “That explains your schedule discipline.” ⸻ Lisa gave her a look. “Don’t analyze my parenting.” ⸻ Jisoo spoke calmly. “It’s efficient.” ⸻ Lisa sighed. “…That’s not a compliment.” ⸻ Noah tugged her sleeve again. “Food now?” ⸻ Lisa immediately nodded. “Yes.” Then turned toward BLACKPINK. “And I choose the restaurant.” ⸻ Jennie paused. “…Fine.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. “Mom wins again.” ⸻ Jisoo added softly. “As expected.” ⸻ Lisa smirked slightly, holding both kids’ hands as they walked. “Good.” ⸻ And as they stepped out into the open air— it wasn’t a return to fame. Or business. Or schedules. ⸻ It was simply a group of people walking forward together— hair slightly undone, clothes relaxed, laughter waiting just ahead of them in the next moment.
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 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.
PANEL 1 Sahne: Şiddetli bir yağmur yağıyor. Lunair kafasında büyük kulaklığıyla, ıslak ve gri sokakta tek başına yürüyor.

Gökyüzü neden mor?" PANEL 5 Sahne: Lunair'in tam önünde, havada süzülen gri bir ışık huzmesi aniden parıldayarak büyüyor. Işığın etrafında zarif, parıldayan hilal (ay 🌙) sembolleri ve kadim büyü rünleri dönmeye başlıyor. Diyalog (Ay Ruhu): "Sonunda uyandın, yabancı... Kulaklarında ölü bir nesne taşıyan çocuk." PANEL 6 Sahne: Ruh, Lunair'e bu dünyanın kurallarından kısaca bahseder ve onun içindeki gizli potansiyeli test etmek için elini uzatmasını söyler. Lunair çekingen bir şekilde elini ışığa uzatır.

PANEL 9 Sahne: Lunair büyüyü canavara doğru fırlatır! Büyük ve parıltılı bir patlama olur. Büyü yaratığa çarptığı anda, yaratık etrafa yayılan büyüleyici mor kristal tozlarına dönüşerek yok olur. PANEL 10 Sahne: Lunair kazandığını görünce önce şok olur. Ardından yüzünde kocaman, çocuksu ve heyecanlı bir gülümseme belirir. Gerçek dünyadaki o sıkıcı, monoton hayatından sonra ilk defa bu kadar eğlendiğini ve yaşadığını hissetmektedir. Yumruğunu havaya kaldırır. Diyalog (Lunair): "Başardım... Gerçekten büyü yaptım! Bu... bu inanılmaz eğlenceli!" PANEL 11 Sahne (Geniş Açı): Lunair sakinleşip uzağa baktığında, ufukta gökyüzüne doğru yükselen, etrafı devasa kristal bariyerlerle çevrili, kuleleri ve büyüleyici mimarisi olan kaleye benzer dev bir şehir (krallık) görür. PANEL 12 Sahne (Kapanış): Lunair, kulaklığı hala boynunda asılı bir şekilde, arkasında süzülen Ay Ruhu ile birlikte yüzünde meraklı ve kararlı bir gülümsemeyle o büyük kaleye doğru patika yoldan yürümeye başlar.
CHAPTER: “ANNOUNCEMENT DAY / THE TOUR RETURNS” ⸻ The morning started like any other— until it didn’t. ⸻ BLACKPINK were gathered in the living room. Not for rehearsal. Not for casual planning. But for something bigger. ⸻ Jisoo stood first, holding a printed schedule in both hands. Her long dark hair was softly styled, and she wore a calm ivory blouse with tailored trousers. Her expression was steady—but there was excitement underneath it. ⸻ Jennie leaned forward immediately. “Don’t tell me…” ⸻ Jisoo nodded. “It’s official.” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ Rosé covered her mouth slightly, blonde hair falling over her shoulders as she smiled. “…We’re going on tour?” ⸻ Jisoo smiled back. “Yes.” ⸻ The room shifted instantly. ⸻ Jennie stood up. “International?” ⸻ “International,” Jisoo confirmed. ⸻ Lisa hadn’t spoken yet. ⸻ Lisa sat on the edge of the sofa, staring at the schedule in Jisoo’s hand. Her brown hair was tied loosely, casual home clothes replacing stage outfits for now. Her expression slowly changed— from surprise… to recognition… to something softer. ⸻ “…It’s been a while,” she said quietly. ⸻ Jennie pointed at her. “That tone means you’re already thinking about choreography.” ⸻ Lisa blinked. “…No.” Pause. “…Maybe.” ⸻ Rosé laughed softly. “That’s a yes.” ⸻ ⸻ Jisoo sat down beside them. “This tour isn’t just performances,” she said gently. “It’s a full journey again.” ⸻ Jennie smiled. “So basically… chaos with a schedule.” ⸻ “Exactly,” Jisoo replied. ⸻ ⸻ Lisa finally looked up fully. Her eyes had changed slightly. Not tired. Not overwhelmed. Focused again. ⸻ “…We’ll need to prepare everything,” she said. ⸻ Jennie grinned. “There she is.” ⸻ Rosé nodded. “I’ve missed that energy.” ⸻ ⸻ From the hallway, small footsteps paused. Noah and Ari stood there, listening. ⸻ Ari tilted her head slightly. “…Tour means you’ll be gone a lot.” ⸻ Lisa turned toward them. “…Yeah.” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ Noah crossed his arms. “So it’s going to be just us at home more.” ⸻ Jennie raised an eyebrow. “That sounded suspiciously like a complaint.” ⸻ Noah shrugged. “I’m observing.” ⸻ ⸻ Lisa stood up and walked toward them. Kneeling slightly to their level. “…We’ll still be here,” she said. “Just busy.” ⸻ Ari nodded slowly. “I get it.” ⸻ But her voice was thoughtful. Like she understood both sides of “busy” now. ⸻ ⸻ Jennie clapped once. “Okay. Tour mindset starts today.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. “I’m excited.” ⸻ Jisoo nodded calmly. “Then let’s prepare properly.” ⸻ Lisa stood again. Her focus fully back now. “…Let’s do it right.” ⸻ ⸻ And just like that— the house shifted again. From everyday life… to something larger. ⸻ Because tours didn’t just move cities. They changed time. And everyone inside that house was about to feel it again.
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.
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!
Book 2 – Chapter 34: Operation Rose — Han’s Impossible Mission The college dance was only hours away. The outfits were ready. The decorations were done. The music was prepared. ⸻ But three boys had one huge problem. ⸻ They needed to ask three girls. ⸻ Operation One: Han → Rosé ⸻ And Han was completely failing. ⸻ The Boys’ Emergency Meeting ⸻ The dorm room looked like a war room. ⸻ Han sat on the bed staring at his phone. His black hair fading into blue at the ends was slightly messy from stress. He wore a blue jacket, black jeans, and sneakers. ⸻ Felix looked at him. His blonde hair was styled neatly, and he wore a black shirt with dark pants. ⸻ “You’ve been staring at the same message for twenty minutes.” ⸻ Han looked up. “I’m creating the perfect message.” ⸻ Hyunjin walked in. His red-tipped hair was perfectly styled, and he wore a black jacket. ⸻ “What have you written?” ⸻ Han showed them. ⸻ “Hey Rosé, would you like to attend the dance with me?” ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Felix blinked. ⸻ “That’s it?” ⸻ Han looked offended. “Yes.” ⸻ Hyunjin nodded. ⸻ “Honestly…” ⸻ Han smiled. ⸻ “See? Good.” ⸻ “…It’s so normal that it’s suspicious.” ⸻ Han’s smile disappeared. ⸻ “What does that mean?” ⸻ “It means you.” ⸻ Felix laughed. ⸻ “You wrote a normal sentence and somehow made it weird.” ⸻ Han sighed. ⸻ “Helpful. Both of you are incredibly helpful.” ⸻ Operation Begins ⸻ Han walked into the practice room. ⸻ Rosé was there. ⸻ Her short blonde Apatapate-inspired hair was styled beautifully, and she wore a casual outfit with a denim jacket, a simple top, and jeans. She was organizing music. ⸻ Han froze. ⸻ Immediately forgot his plan. ⸻ Rosé looked up. ⸻ “Han?” ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ “Why are you standing there like you forgot how doors work?” ⸻ Han blinked. ⸻ “I was…” ⸻ Thinking. ⸻ Rosé smiled. ⸻ “That’s dangerous.” ⸻ Han laughed nervously. ⸻ “Very funny.” ⸻ He took a breath. ⸻ “Rosé, I wanted to ask—” ⸻ Suddenly… A speaker behind him made a loud noise. ⸻ Han jumped. ⸻ Rosé stared. ⸻ “Are you okay?” ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ “You looked scared.” ⸻ “I was attacked by technology.” ⸻ Rosé laughed. ⸻ “Technology attacked you?” ⸻ “It was unexpected.” ⸻ The Actual Question ⸻ Han tried again. ⸻ “Rosé.” ⸻ She looked at him. ⸻ “Would you…” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ Han’s brain stopped. ⸻ “…help me choose a jacket?” ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Rosé blinked. ⸻ “A jacket?” ⸻ Han immediately regretted everything. ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ “That was your big question?” ⸻ “No.” ⸻ “Good.” ⸻ Han covered his face. ⸻ “That was terrible.” ⸻ Rosé laughed. ⸻ “Very.” ⸻ He smiled. ⸻ Then finally… ⸻ “Would you go to the dance with me?” ⸻ Quiet. ⸻ Rosé looked surprised. ⸻ Then smiled. ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ Han froze. ⸻ “Wait.” ⸻ “What?” ⸻ “You said yes?” ⸻ Rosé laughed. ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ “I didn’t expect that.” ⸻ “Why?” ⸻ “Because I spent three hours preparing and still almost asked about jackets.” ⸻ Rosé laughed harder. ⸻ “You almost invited me to a fashion consultation.” ⸻ “Exactly.” ⸻ ⸻ The Celebration ⸻ Han ran back to the dorm. ⸻ Felix looked up. ⸻ “Well?” ⸻ Han dramatically fell onto the couch. ⸻ “Mission complete.” ⸻ Hyunjin clapped slowly. ⸻ “Congratulations.” ⸻ Felix smiled. ⸻ “She said yes?” ⸻ Han nodded proudly. ⸻ Then immediately added: ⸻ “After I almost ruined everything.” ⸻ Felix laughed. ⸻ “That’s very Han.” ⸻ Han pointed. ⸻ “Now it’s your turn.” ⸻ Felix froze. ⸻ Because tomorrow… ⸻ Operation Two: Felix → Jennie ⸻ And everyone knew… ⸻ That was going to be much harder.
Chapter 39 – Graduation Day The day finally arrived. Graduation. ⸻ The school that had been filled with chaos, jokes, competitions, and endless roast battles was now decorated with banners, flowers, and rows of chairs. A giant sign hung above the stage: “Congratulations, Graduating Class!” ⸻ For once… Everyone was quiet. Almost. ⸻ Jennie stood in front of the mirror in her room. Her blonde hair was styled in soft waves, and she wore her graduation gown over a sleek outfit with black boots. Her usual DJ accessories were replaced with a simple silver necklace. She looked at herself. It felt strange. ⸻ A year ago… She was the girl everyone thought was impossible to get close to. The cold DJ. The queen of roasting. The person who acted like she didn’t care. ⸻ Then Felix happened. ⸻ A knock came at her door. “Jennie?” She smiled. “Come in.” ⸻ Felix walked in. His black hair was neatly styled, and he wore his graduation gown over a black shirt and dark pants. He looked around. “Wow.” Jennie raised an eyebrow. “What?” “You actually look ready.” “Excuse me?” “I mean…” He laughed. “You usually look like you’re about to start a DJ battle.” Jennie crossed her arms. “And you usually look like you’re about to miss a basketball shot.” Felix smiled. “Good. You’re still you.” ⸻ They walked downstairs together. ⸻ Everyone was ready. ⸻ Lisa adjusted her graduation cap. Her ash-blonde hair with bangs framed her face, and she wore a stylish outfit under her gown. “I’m taking a hundred pictures.” Han groaned. “One hundred?” “Yes.” “Why?” “Because you will complain later.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. Her lavender hair was curled softly, and she wore a simple elegant outfit under her gown. “This day is actually happening.” ⸻ Jisoo fixed her red hair before putting on her cap. “Everyone ready?” ⸻ Hyunjin appeared dramatically. His blond hair was perfectly styled. “Today…” Everyone sighed. “Don’t.” He continued anyway. “Today we close one chapter.” Han whispered. “He practiced that.” “Of course he did.” ⸻ At the ceremony… The auditorium was full. Parents cheered. Teachers smiled. Students laughed nervously. ⸻ One by one… Names were called. ⸻ “Lisa.” Applause. She walked across the stage confidently. ⸻ “Rosé.” More cheers. ⸻ “Jisoo.” Everyone clapped. ⸻ “Han.” The crowd cheered loudly. Han waved dramatically. Jennie covered her face. “He loves attention.” Felix laughed. “Yes.” ⸻ “Hyunjin.” He walked across the stage like he was in a movie. Everyone laughed. ⸻ Then… “Felix.” ⸻ The crowd cheered. Felix walked across the stage smiling. When he returned… Jennie quietly said: “Not bad, basketball boy.” He smiled. “That was almost a compliment.” “Don’t ruin it.” ⸻ Finally… The last name. ⸻ “Jennie.” ⸻ The room filled with applause. Felix smiled as she walked onto the stage. ⸻ Jennie accepted her diploma. She looked out at the crowd. She remembered everything. The first roast battle. The arguments. The DJ competition. The friendships. The person she never expected to matter so much. ⸻ She walked back. Felix whispered: “You okay?” Jennie nodded. “Yeah.” A pause. “Just weird.” “I know.” ⸻ After the ceremony… Everyone gathered outside for pictures. ⸻ Han immediately grabbed the camera. “Everyone together!” Jennie sighed. “Here we go.” ⸻ The group stood together. Lisa smiling. Rosé laughing. Jisoo fixing everyone’s positions. Hyunjin making dramatic poses. Han trying to look cool. Felix standing beside Jennie. ⸻ “Ready?” Click. ⸻ The picture captured everything. Not perfect. Not organized. Not normal. Just them. ⸻ Later… Jennie and Felix stood away from everyone for a moment. Watching their friends celebrate. ⸻ Felix smiled. “Crazy, right?” “What?” “That we went from hating each other…” Jennie smirked. “I never hated you.” “You called me annoying every day.” “You were annoying.” “Fair.” ⸻ She looked at the graduation cap in her hands. “We’re really leaving.” “Yeah.” ⸻ A small silence. Then Jennie smiled. “Don’t think college means you’re safe.” Felix laughed. “Of course.” “Because?” “Because you’ll still roast me.” “Exactly.” ⸻ The final school bell rang one last time. And the group walked away from the school together. Not knowing exactly what the future would bring… But knowing one thing. No matter where life took them… The chaos, friendship, and memories would always stay.
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.
Book 3: Roast Rhythm & Rival Hearts — New Secrets Chapter 4: Behind the Spotlight Months had passed… ⸻ Life had changed completely. ⸻ They weren’t just college students anymore. They were now living the dream they had always chased. ⸻ They were K-pop idols. ⸻ The New Chapter ⸻ Jennie stood backstage after a huge performance. Her shoulder-length red hair was styled perfectly, with a bold stage outfit: a black leather jacket, sparkling accessories, and a powerful look that matched her savage DJ queen image. On stage… She was fearless. ⸻ Lisa had become known for her incredible dancing and stage presence. Her long natural black hair flowed as she performed. She wore a stylish black-and-white performance outfit with boots, looking confident and energetic. ⸻ Rosé had her own signature style. Her shoulder-length rose-pink hair stood out under the stage lights. She wore an elegant but edgy outfit, mixing her soft personality with her powerful performer side. ⸻ Jisoo looked graceful as always. Her light brown hair framed her face beautifully. She wore a classy stage outfit with elegant details that matched her calm confidence. ⸻ Together… They were still the same four girls. Just on a much bigger stage. ⸻ Across the Industry ⸻ Stray Kids were also living their dream. ⸻ Felix stood backstage after a performance. His blonde hair with a red peekaboo streak underneath was styled perfectly. He wore a dark stage outfit with silver details, looking completely different from the nervous boy who once practiced asking Jennie to a dance. ⸻ Han had his natural black hair styled casually. He wore a comfortable but stylish outfit, bringing his funny and energetic personality everywhere. ⸻ Hyunjin had black hair with a silver streak, giving him a dramatic and unforgettable stage look. ⸻ I.N. had his bright orange hair, standing out wherever he went. ⸻ Everyone had grown. ⸻ Everyone had changed. ⸻ Except… Some feelings were still unfinished. ⸻ Jennie’s Breaking Point ⸻ After the concert… The crowd was still cheering outside. Everyone was celebrating. ⸻ But Jennie quietly walked away. ⸻ Lisa noticed. ⸻ “Jennie?” ⸻ No answer. ⸻ Rosé followed her. ⸻ “Something’s wrong.” ⸻ Jisoo closed the dressing room door behind them. ⸻ Jennie stood in front of the mirror. ⸻ For years… She had been the savage one. The one who roasted everyone. The one who acted like nothing could hurt her. ⸻ But tonight… She couldn’t keep pretending. ⸻ Lisa stepped closer. ⸻ “Jennie.” ⸻ “You don’t have to act tough with us.” ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Then Jennie finally broke. ⸻ “I hate this.” ⸻ Rosé looked worried. ⸻ “What?” ⸻ Jennie sat down. ⸻ “I thought becoming an idol would fix everything.” ⸻ “I thought if I was busy enough…” ⸻ “If I was successful enough…” ⸻ “I wouldn’t think about the things I lost.” ⸻ Jisoo sat beside her. ⸻ “Felix.” ⸻ Jennie looked away. ⸻ She didn’t deny it. ⸻ “I moved on.” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ “At least I tried to.” ⸻ Lisa hugged her. ⸻ “You don’t have to be okay every second.” ⸻ Jennie wiped her eyes. ⸻ “I hate crying.” ⸻ Rosé smiled softly. ⸻ “We know.” ⸻ “I hate that you guys are right.” ⸻ Jisoo laughed. ⸻ “That is the most Jennie thing you’ve said today.” ⸻ A small smile appeared. ⸻ Just a little. ⸻ The Girls ⸻ Lisa squeezed her hand. ⸻ “No matter how famous we get…” ⸻ “We’re still us.” ⸻ Rosé nodded. ⸻ “The same girls who sat in a dorm room talking about the future.” ⸻ Jisoo smiled. ⸻ “And the same girls who survived Jennie’s insults.” ⸻ Jennie looked offended. ⸻ “I was not that bad.” ⸻ All three stared at her. ⸻ “Okay.” ⸻ “Maybe a little.” ⸻ They laughed. ⸻ Because behind the cameras… Behind the music… Behind the fame… ⸻ They were still best friends. ⸻ And Jennie finally remembered: Even the strongest performers need a place where they can stop performing. ⸻ To Be Continued…
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 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 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.
Book 2 – Chapter 33: The Boys’ Panic Meeting The night before the college dance… The girls were prepared. The decorations were ready. Jennie had her DJ set planned. ⸻ But somewhere else on campus… Three boys were completely losing their minds. ⸻ The Dorm Room ⸻ Felix sat on the edge of his bed staring at his phone. His blonde hair was messy, and he wore a black hoodie, gray sweatpants, and sneakers. ⸻ Han walked in wearing a blue-and-black jacket. His black hair faded into blue at the ends. He looked at Felix. ⸻ “You’ve been staring at that phone for ten minutes.” ⸻ Felix didn’t look up. “I’m thinking.” ⸻ “You’re stressing.” ⸻ “I’m not.” ⸻ “You sighed six times.” ⸻ Felix looked up. “How do you know that?” ⸻ Han pointed. “I counted.” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ “That’s concerning.” ⸻ Han nodded. “Very.” ⸻ The door opened. ⸻ Hyunjin walked in. His red-tipped hair was styled perfectly, and he wore a black jacket with jeans. ⸻ “Why does this room feel like a disaster meeting?” ⸻ Han pointed at Felix. “He’s trying to figure out how to ask Jennie to dance.” ⸻ Hyunjin immediately sat down. ⸻ “Oh.” ⸻ Felix looked at them. “Can you both not make this worse?” ⸻ Han smiled. “We absolutely can.” ⸻ The Plan ⸻ Felix stood up. “Okay.” ⸻ Everyone listened. ⸻ “I want to ask Jennie to dance.” ⸻ Han nodded. “Good.” ⸻ “But…” Felix sighed. “She’s Jennie.” ⸻ The room went quiet. ⸻ Hyunjin nodded seriously. “Valid fear.” ⸻ Han raised his hand. “Question.” ⸻ “What?” ⸻ “What if you just ask normally?” ⸻ Felix stared. ⸻ “That’s your advice?” ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ “That is the least dramatic advice possible.” ⸻ “Exactly.” ⸻ Hyunjin crossed his arms. “Actually, I agree.” ⸻ Felix looked surprised. ⸻ “Really?” ⸻ “No.” ⸻ Felix blinked. ⸻ “I just wanted to sound wise.” ⸻ Han laughed. ⸻ “You are so dramatic.” ⸻ “Thank you.” ⸻ “That wasn’t a compliment.” ⸻ “I accepted it anyway.” ⸻ The Confessions Begin ⸻ A few minutes later… ⸻ Han suddenly became quiet. ⸻ Felix noticed. “What?” ⸻ Han looked away. ⸻ “Nothing.” ⸻ “Han.” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ “…I might ask someone too.” ⸻ Felix raised an eyebrow. ⸻ “Who?” ⸻ Han looked embarrassed. ⸻ “Rosé.” ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Then Felix smiled. ⸻ “Wait.” ⸻ “You want to ask Rosé out?” ⸻ Han covered his face. ⸻ “Don’t make it weird.” ⸻ “You just made this whole room weird.” ⸻ Hyunjin laughed. ⸻ Han pointed. “You’re one to talk.” ⸻ Hyunjin froze. ⸻ “What?” ⸻ Han smiled. ⸻ “You have someone too.” ⸻ “No.” ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ “No.” ⸻ “Jisoo.” ⸻ Hyunjin immediately turned red. ⸻ Felix and Han stared. ⸻ “OH.” ⸻ Hyunjin stood up dramatically. ⸻ “Fine!” ⸻ The room went silent. ⸻ “I do.” ⸻ Han gasped. ⸻ “He admitted it!” ⸻ Hyunjin pointed. “Do not make this a moment.” ⸻ Felix laughed. ⸻ “So let me understand…” ⸻ He counted on his fingers. ⸻ “Han likes Rosé.” ⸻ Han nodded. ⸻ “Hyunjin likes Jisoo.” ⸻ Hyunjin nodded. ⸻ “And I’m stressed about Jennie.” ⸻ Everyone looked at each other. ⸻ Han smiled. ⸻ “We are doomed.” ⸻ ⸻ The Practice Conversation ⸻ Han grabbed a pillow. ⸻ “Okay. Pretend I’m Jennie.” ⸻ Felix stared. ⸻ “No.” ⸻ “Do it.” ⸻ Han changed his voice. ⸻ “Hello Felix.” ⸻ Felix immediately laughed. ⸻ “That doesn’t sound like her.” ⸻ Han continued. ⸻ “Would you like to go to the dance with me?” ⸻ Felix shook his head. ⸻ “Jennie would roast me before finishing the sentence.” ⸻ Hyunjin nodded. ⸻ “Accurate.” ⸻ Han tried again. ⸻ “Felix, I have decided you are acceptable company.” ⸻ Felix froze. ⸻ “…That’s actually closer.” ⸻ Everyone laughed. ⸻ The Final Advice ⸻ Eventually, the room became quiet. ⸻ Felix looked at them. ⸻ “What if she says no?” ⸻ Han shrugged. ⸻ “Then she says no.” ⸻ Hyunjin nodded. ⸻ “But at least you tried.” ⸻ Felix smiled. ⸻ “Thanks.” ⸻ Han stood up. ⸻ “Now…” ⸻ “What?” ⸻ “We need to practice my Rosé speech.” ⸻ Felix laughed. ⸻ “No.” ⸻ Hyunjin stood. ⸻ “And my Jisoo speech.” ⸻ “No.” ⸻ Han grabbed a notebook. ⸻ “Too late.” ⸻ Felix looked at the ceiling. ⸻ “Why did I ask for advice?” ⸻ Because tomorrow was the dance. ⸻ And three boys had three missions. ⸻ Felix: Ask Jennie. Han: Ask Rosé. Hyunjin: Ask Jisoo. ⸻ The only problem? ⸻ They were all terrified.
Book 2 – Chapter 23: The Worst Timing Ever The morning after… Everything was normal. ⸻ Well… Almost normal. ⸻ Jennie walked into the dorm kitchen wearing her usual black oversized hoodie, cargo pants, and boots. Her short dark bob was perfectly styled, giving her the same intimidating DJ queen energy. ⸻ Lisa was already there. Her Oreo-inspired haircut — mostly black with white strands — was tied back slightly. She wore a comfortable hoodie and leggings while making breakfast. ⸻ Lisa looked at Jennie. “You’re smiling.” ⸻ Jennie immediately stopped. “No, I’m not.” ⸻ “You were.” ⸻ “I was thinking.” ⸻ “About Felix?” ⸻ Jennie froze. ⸻ “No.” ⸻ Lisa smiled. “That pause was a whole confession.” ⸻ Jennie grabbed a drink. “You talk too much.” ⸻ “That’s your way of saying yes.” ⸻ “That’s my way of saying you’re annoying.” ⸻ “Same thing.” ⸻ Jennie rolled her eyes. ⸻ Then… The door opened. ⸻ Jisoo walked in wearing a soft sweater and jeans. Her long blonde hair with lavender-pink tips was styled beautifully. Rosé followed behind her wearing a denim jacket and comfortable pants. Her short blonde Apatapate-inspired hair was slightly messy in a cute way. ⸻ Rosé looked between Lisa and Jennie. “What did we miss?” ⸻ Lisa pointed at Jennie. “She smiled.” ⸻ Everyone gasped dramatically. ⸻ Jennie stared. “Are you all done?” ⸻ “No,” Jisoo said immediately. ⸻ Jennie sighed. ⸻ “Traitors.” ⸻ Later – Practice Room ⸻ Everyone gathered for rehearsal. ⸻ Felix arrived. His blonde hair was slightly styled, and he wore a black hoodie, jeans, and sneakers. ⸻ Jennie looked at him. Just for a second. ⸻ A tiny smile. ⸻ Han saw it. Immediately. ⸻ “Oh.” ⸻ Everyone looked. ⸻ Han pointed. “Something is happening.” ⸻ Jennie turned. “Finish that sentence and regret it.” ⸻ Han stopped. ⸻ “Never mind.” ⸻ Hyunjin laughed. His red-tipped hair stood out as he adjusted his jacket. ⸻ “Han finally learned survival instincts.” ⸻ Han looked at him. “Don’t act like you’re safe.” ⸻ Felix tried not to smile. ⸻ Jennie noticed. ⸻ “What?” ⸻ “Nothing.” ⸻ “Your face is suspicious.” ⸻ “My face?” ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ “How can my face be suspicious?” ⸻ “You’re Felix.” ⸻ Everyone laughed. ⸻ The Weird Part ⸻ During practice… The music suddenly stopped. ⸻ Everyone looked at Jennie. ⸻ “What happened?” ⸻ Jennie checked the equipment. ⸻ “The cable is missing.” ⸻ Han raised his hand. “I might know why.” ⸻ Everyone looked at him. ⸻ “…Why?” ⸻ “I may have borrowed it.” ⸻ Jennie’s eyes narrowed. ⸻ “Why?” ⸻ “I thought it was a charger.” ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Hyunjin covered his face. ⸻ Jisoo blinked. ⸻ Rosé laughed. ⸻ Felix looked at Han. “How?” ⸻ Han shrugged. “It looked like one.” ⸻ Jennie slowly walked toward him. ⸻ “Han.” ⸻ “Yes?” ⸻ “Congratulations.” ⸻ “On what?” ⸻ “You are officially the reason instructions exist.” ⸻ Everyone burst out laughing. ⸻ The Even Worse Timing ⸻ After practice… Jennie and Felix were alone putting equipment away. ⸻ Felix smiled. “You know…” ⸻ “What?” ⸻ “I like this version of you.” ⸻ Jennie looked at him. “What version?” ⸻ “The one that doesn’t pretend she doesn’t care.” ⸻ She stared. ⸻ Then immediately recovered. ⸻ “Don’t get emotional.” ⸻ “I’m just saying.” ⸻ “You’re always just saying.” ⸻ He laughed. ⸻ Then suddenly… The door opened. ⸻ Lisa. Jisoo. Rosé. Han.

Chapter 27 – The Movie Night Trap By Sunday evening… Everyone in the dorm had exactly one goal. Tease Jennie and Felix. Forever. ⸻ Han was the mastermind. “I have an amazing idea.” Jennie immediately looked up from her laptop. “No.” “I didn’t even say it.” “I don’t need to hear it.” ⸻ Han grinned. “We’re having movie night!” Lisa clapped. “I love movie nights!” Rosé smiled. “I’m in.” Jisoo nodded. “Me too.” Hyunjin dramatically placed a hand on his chest. “I shall provide emotional commentary.” Felix laughed. “This should be interesting.” Jennie sighed. “I already regret this.” ⸻ An hour later… The living room was covered with blankets, popcorn, chips, candy, and soda. Lisa sat on the floor. Her ash-blonde hair with bangs was tied into a loose ponytail. She wore an oversized pink hoodie and gray sweatpants. Rosé curled up beside her. Her lavender hair was braided over one shoulder, and she wore a cream sweater with ripped jeans. Jisoo wore a navy hoodie and black joggers, her red hair tucked behind one ear. Han wore his green hoodie and black sweatpants, already eating half the popcorn before the movie even started. Hyunjin arrived with his blond hair perfectly styled—even for movie night—and wore a loose black sweatshirt and wide-leg pants. Felix wore a black hoodie and gray sweatpants. Jennie wore an oversized black sweatshirt, matching sweatpants, and fuzzy socks. Her blonde hair was tied into a messy bun. ⸻ Han looked around. “Perfect.” Jennie narrowed her eyes. “Why are you smiling like that?” “No reason.” “Han.” “No reason.” ⸻ Everyone picked a seat. Jennie sat on one end of the couch. Felix sat on the other. Han looked disappointed. “Oh.” “What?” “You two are too far apart.” Jennie sighed. “That’s the point.” ⸻ Han suddenly stood up. “I forgot the drinks!” “I’ll help,” Lisa said. “So will I,” Rosé added. “Me too,” Jisoo smiled. “I suddenly remembered something in my room,” Hyunjin announced dramatically. Everyone left. Except… Jennie and Felix. ⸻ Jennie blinked. “…We just got tricked.” Felix looked toward the kitchen. “They planned this.” “They absolutely planned this.” ⸻ The movie started anyway. For a few minutes… Neither of them spoke. Until… A loud thunderstorm appeared in the movie. Jennie jumped. Just a tiny bit. Felix noticed. “You got scared.” “I did not.” “You literally jumped.” “I was… surprised.” He laughed. “You hate horror movies.” “I hate loud noises.” “Sure.” ⸻ Jennie grabbed a handful of popcorn. Felix reached for the bowl at the exact same time. Their hands bumped. Jennie looked at him. “You stole my popcorn.” “Our popcorn.” “My popcorn.” Felix smiled. “I’ll buy you another bag.” “You’d better.” ⸻ Just then… The movie reached a really emotional scene. Han slowly peeked around the corner. Lisa peeked over his shoulder. Rosé, Jisoo, and Hyunjin were stacked behind them like dominoes. Lisa whispered, “Are they holding hands?” Han squinted. “No…” “They’re fighting over popcorn.” Rosé laughed quietly. “That sounds more like them.” ⸻ Suddenly… Jennie noticed five heads sticking out from the hallway. She slowly turned. “…Seriously?” Everyone froze. Han smiled awkwardly. “We can explain.” Jennie stood up. “Oh, I’d love to hear this.” Hyunjin stepped forward. “This was an observational experiment.” Lisa nodded. “Very scientific.” Felix laughed so hard he almost dropped the popcorn. Jennie pointed at all of them. “You trapped us.” Han shrugged. “Did it work?” Felix looked at Jennie. “I mean…” “We watched half the movie without arguing.” Jennie blinked. “…Wait.” Everyone gasped dramatically. Han threw his hands into the air. “THEY ADMITTED IT!” “I admitted nothing!” Jennie protested. “You admitted peace!” “That’s not a thing!” “It is now,” Han declared. The entire room burst into laughter. Jennie looked at Felix. “You know…” “What?” “I think our friends are completely insane.” Felix smiled. “Definitely.” A small smile spread across Jennie’s face. “…Good.” Felix nodded. “Yeah.” “…Good.” And for the rest of the night… The movie barely mattered. Because the real entertainment… Was everyone trying—and failing—to stop teasing Jennie and Felix.
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.
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.
