Chapter 11 – The Night Felix Saw The Real Jennie It was finally night. The city lights were glowing, the streets were busy, and for once… Jennie wasn’t in the dorm arguing with Felix. She was with Mina. ⸻ Jennie walked into the lounge and found Mina waiting. Her long black hair with soft curtain bangs framed her face. She wore a black jacket over a fitted top, baggy cargo pants, and her favorite sneakers. Her silver headphones rested around her neck. Mina smiled. “You actually came.” Jennie sat down. “Don’t sound so surprised.” “I am surprised.” “Rude.” “Accurate.” Jennie rolled her eyes. ⸻ The night started normally. They talked. They laughed. They caught up. Mina ordered two giant colorful mocktails. Jennie stared at hers. “Why is it so big?” Mina shrugged. “You need something fun.” “I have fun.” Mina looked at her. “You argued with Felix for twenty minutes yesterday about a pillow.” Jennie paused. “That pillow was important.” Mina laughed. ⸻ As the night went on… Jennie became less and less like the Jennie everyone knew. The serious DJ. The queen of roasting. The girl who always had the perfect comeback. Gone. ⸻ Mina stared as Jennie laughed at the menu. “Why are you laughing?” Jennie pointed. “Look.” “It’s a menu.” “No.” She held it closer. “The salad has a personality.” Mina blinked. “…What?” “It looks judgmental.” Mina covered her face. “Oh no.” ⸻ Five minutes later… Jennie was trying to convince Mina that a tiny decoration on the table was “the world’s smallest DJ.” Mina looked at it. “It’s a candle.” Jennie nodded seriously. “Exactly.” “How is that a DJ?” “It has a stand.” Mina burst out laughing. ⸻ Then suddenly… Jennie got quiet. Mina noticed. The goofy smile disappeared. “You okay?” Jennie looked down. “Yeah.” But Mina knew her too well. “Jennie.” A pause. “I just…” Jennie looked at her drink. “Everyone thinks I’m cold.” Mina softened. “Because you pretend you are.” Jennie didn’t answer. ⸻ Mina sighed. “Okay.” She pulled out her phone. “I’m calling someone.” Jennie immediately looked up. “No.” Mina smiled. “Yes.” “No Felix.” Mina raised an eyebrow. “You said Felix before I did.” Jennie froze. “That doesn’t count.” “It definitely counts.” ⸻ Mina searched her contacts. Felix. Call. ⸻ Back at the dorm… Felix was sitting on the couch. His soft black hair was messy, and he wore a black hoodie, gray sweatpants, and white sneakers. Han was beside him eating snacks. His soft brown hair was sticking up, and he wore an oversized hoodie with black jeans. Felix’s phone rang. He looked down. “Mina?” He answered. “Hey.” Mina immediately said: “Felix, emergency.” Felix sat up. “What happened?” “Your roommate has been replaced.” Felix blinked. “What?” “The Jennie I know has disappeared.” Han leaned closer. “What is happening?” Mina continued. “She laughed at a menu.” Felix paused. “…A menu?” “Yes.” A pause. “She also complimented a candle.” Han covered his mouth. “That sounds impossible.” “It happened.” ⸻ Twenty minutes later… Felix arrived. He found Jennie sitting with Mina. The second she saw him… Her eyes widened. “Felix!” He stopped. “Hi?” “You came.” Mina smiled. “I told you he would.” Jennie looked at Felix. “You actually came.” Felix nodded. “Of course.” She stared at him. “Why?” Felix looked confused. “Because you’re my roommate.” Jennie looked away. “That is a very boring answer.” Felix smiled. “You wanted a different one?” She immediately shook her head. “No.” A pause. “…Maybe.” ⸻ On the way back… Jennie was completely different. She walked slowly beside Felix. Then suddenly stopped. “Felix.” “Yeah?” “You know your hair is nice?” Felix froze. “What?” “Don’t make it weird.” “I’m not.” “You look surprised.” “Because you never compliment me.” Jennie nodded. “True.” “Then why now?” She thought. “Because I’m honest today.” Felix smiled. “Interesting.” ⸻ A few steps later… Jennie looked at the ground. Her smile faded. “Do you actually think I’m mean?” Felix stopped walking. “What?” “Everyone thinks I’m cold.” Her voice became quieter. “I joke because it’s easier.” Felix looked at her. For once… He didn’t tease her. “You know…” “What?” “I don’t think you’re cold.” Jennie looked up. “You don’t?” “No.” “Then what do you think?” Felix smiled slightly. “I think you’re someone who cares too much and doesn’t want people to know.” ⸻ Jennie went quiet. Then her eyes watered. “I hate that you’re right.” Felix looked surprised. “Jennie…” She wiped her face quickly. “I’m not crying.” “I didn’t say you were.” “Good.” A pause. “…Because I’m definitely not.” Felix smiled. “Right.” ⸻ When they reached the dorm… Everyone was waiting. Lisa immediately looked shocked. “Wait.” “Is Jennie emotional?” Rosé smiled softly. “She’s just having a moment.” Jisoo nodded. “Let her.” Hyunjin dramatically whispered: “The walls have fallen.” Han nodded. “The roast queen has been defeated.” Jennie looked up. “I heard that.” Han immediately stood straight. “She’s back.” Everyone laughed. ⸻ Before going into her room, Jennie stopped. She looked at Felix. “Thanks.” Felix smiled. “Anytime.” Jennie nodded. Then quietly added: “But don’t tell anyone I was nice.” Felix grinned. “Your secret is safe.” And for the first time… Jennie wasn’t annoyed that Felix saw the real her. She was glad he did.
It’s 5am with a dawn sky. (Panel shows a close up of photo 1 lying under the pink blanket on her bed with a uncomfortable face with a hangover) Photo 1 is lying in bed under her pink fluffy blanket in her luxury bedroom surrounded by windows. Photo 1 then sits up in shocked while looking at the bed covers and thinks “OMG!!!!” “I KISSED HIM!!!” Photo 1 then looks out the window and thinks “I wonder that means for us now Taeha.” “Are we a couple are did I cross a line.” (Panel shows photo 2 laying on her bed on her under the white fluffy blanket with her phone with a concerned look on her face.) Photo 2 then thinks “Your giving him your heart again Mei” “What are you doing?!” Photo 2 then puts her black iPhone on her chest on top of the blanket and looks up at the ceiling and thinks “Micheol, what are we doing?”
Book 2 – Chapter 9: The First College Morning Disaster The first morning in the dorms. Everyone expected a fresh start. A peaceful beginning. A normal college day. ⸻ That was their first mistake. ⸻ Dorm Building A Jennie’s alarm went off. She opened her eyes. Five seconds later… She was already ready. ⸻ Her dark bob haircut was perfectly styled. Her outfit was completely put together. Black jacket. Baggy jeans. Silver accessories. Boots. Headphones around her neck. ⸻ Lisa slowly opened her eyes. She stared. “How are you already dressed?” Jennie looked at her. “Because some of us respect time.” Lisa sat up. “It’s 7:02.” “Exactly.” “Class is at 9.” Jennie grabbed her bag. “Exactly.” ⸻ Lisa looked at her. “You are the only person who treats getting ready like a concert entrance.” Jennie smiled. “Because every entrance is important.” ⸻ Lisa laughed. “Your confidence is dangerous.” Jennie shrugged. “Your fashion choices are dangerous. We all have problems.” ⸻ Dorm Building B ⸻ Felix woke up to chaos. ⸻ Han was standing in front of the mirror. His black hair with blue tips was styled perfectly. Felix stared. “Why are you dressed like you’re going to a photoshoot?” Han looked serious. “Because first impressions matter.” “It’s a lecture.” “Exactly.” ⸻ Felix shook his head. His blonde hair was messy, but somehow still looked perfect. ⸻ Han looked at him. “You need help.” Felix looked down at his outfit. “What?” “You look too normal.” “That’s the point.” “Wrong.” ⸻ Outside the dorms Everyone met before class. ⸻ Jisoo arrived with her long blonde hair and lavender-pink ends shining in the sunlight. Rosé walked beside her with her black hair flowing naturally. Hyunjin arrived with his red-tipped hair styled perfectly. ⸻ Jennie looked around. “Okay.” Everyone looked at her. “What?” She pointed. “Hyunjin looks like he’s going to a fashion interview.” Hyunjin smiled. “Thank you.” “That wasn’t a compliment.” “I accepted it anyway.” ⸻ Everyone laughed. ⸻ Then Felix walked over. ⸻ Jennie looked at him. Felix looked at her. ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Han whispered: “Round two of awkward.” ⸻ Felix cleared his throat. “Morning.” Jennie nodded. “Morning.” ⸻ Everyone waited. ⸻ Lisa whispered: “That was the most normal conversation they’ve had.” ⸻ Jennie heard her. “Don’t ruin it.” ⸻ They walked toward class. ⸻ Then suddenly… A student dropped a stack of papers. ⸻ Everyone stopped to help. Except Han. ⸻ Han looked at the papers. Then at Jennie. “Should I help?” Jennie stared. “Yes.” Han nodded. “Okay.” A pause. “But first…” “What?” “I need to emotionally prepare.” ⸻ Jennie looked at him. “You need emotional preparation to pick up paper?” Han nodded. “These are important papers.” “They’re on the floor.” “Exactly. Dangerous territory.” ⸻ Jennie stared. “Han.” “What?” “You are the reason warning labels exist.” ⸻ Everyone burst out laughing. ⸻ Finally they reached class. ⸻ The professor announced: “Today, you will begin your first major college project.” ⸻ Everyone sat up. ⸻ “You will create something that represents your identity.” ⸻ Everyone started thinking. ⸻ Lisa immediately wrote fashion. Rosé wrote music. Jisoo wrote design. Hyunjin wrote performance. Han wrote something nobody could read. ⸻ Felix looked over. “What did you write?” Han covered it. “Private.” “It’s upside down.” Han quickly flipped it. “Now it’s private.” ⸻ Jennie shook her head. ⸻ Then the professor looked at her. “And you?” ⸻ Jennie looked at her notebook. Then at her DJ headphones. ⸻ She smiled. ⸻ “Music.” ⸻ Felix looked at her. “You already knew.” Jennie nodded. “Yeah.” “Then why think?” She shrugged. “Because this time…” She looked at the group. “I’m not doing it alone.” ⸻ Everyone smiled. ⸻ Then Han ruined the moment. “So we’re basically a legendary team.” Jennie looked at him. “Don’t say legendary.” “Why?” “Because now you’ll start acting like you have a documentary.” ⸻ Han gasped. “I would have a great documentary.” Jennie nodded. “Title: A Guy Who Talks Too Much.” ⸻ The class laughed. ⸻ And as they started their first college project… Everyone realized something. ⸻ College wasn’t going to be normal. Not with: A savage DJ queen. A dramatic fashion king. A chaotic music genius. A talented performer. And a group that somehow always found trouble. ⸻ The semester had officially begun.
It didn’t happen all at once. It happened the way most big decisions do— quietly, between schedules, late-night talks, and the kind of conversations that start as jokes and slowly stop being jokes. ⸻ Jisoo was the first to say it seriously. “We should have a place that isn’t borrowed.” ⸻ Jennie laughed at first. “We already have apartments.” Then she paused. “…But I know what you mean.” ⸻ Rosé said it softer. “A place that feels like us, not schedules.” ⸻ And Lisa just looked at them for a moment. Her brown hair tied loosely, casual clothes, no stage energy—just real life. “…Then let’s do it.” ⸻ That was the beginning. ⸻ They found the house together. Not huge. Not flashy. Just warm. Glass and wood. Light-filled rooms. A kitchen that felt like it was already waiting for laughter. ⸻ When they walked inside for the first time— it didn’t feel like buying property. It felt like recognition. ⸻ Jisoo stood in the living room first, dark wavy hair falling softly over her cream-toned outfit. “It’s calm,” she said. ⸻ Jennie leaned against the counter, straight dark hair loose over a black blazer and top. “It has potential.” ⸻ Rosé stood by the window, blonde hair glowing in soft waves. “It feels like mornings.” ⸻ Lisa walked through the space slowly, brown hair loose, hoodie and relaxed pants, fingers brushing the edge of the table. “It feels like us already.” ⸻ ⸻ They bought it. Together. Four names. Four signatures. One shared key. ⸻ And over time— it became their place. ⸻ Not a permanent residence for all of them. Not a replacement for their own lives. But a shared home between worlds. ⸻ Where they came when they were tired. Where they came when they were loud. Where they came when they didn’t want to be anything except themselves. ⸻ Years later— Noah, now a 5-year-old boy, ran through the living room the moment Lisa opened the door. “I still remember this place!” he announced. ⸻ Ari followed more calmly, adjusting her sweater. “We were here last week,” she corrected. ⸻ Noah nodded. “So I have strong memory.” ⸻ Lisa sighed. “That’s not how memory works.” ⸻ ⸻ Jennie dropped her bag by the couch. “This house is still too quiet before we arrive.” ⸻ Jisoo removed her shoes neatly. “That’s because chaos hasn’t entered yet.” ⸻ Rosé smiled softly. “It waits for us.” ⸻ Lisa looked around the room— the house they chose together. The house that didn’t belong to one of them. But belonged to all four. ⸻ “…We really did this,” she said quietly. ⸻ Jennie smirked. “Unfortunately, yes.” ⸻ Jisoo nodded. “Fortunately.” ⸻ Rosé added gently. “Completely.” ⸻ Noah raised his hand. “I vote we never sell it.” ⸻ Ari raised hers too. “I agree.” ⸻ Lisa looked at them all— at BLACKPINK. at the house. at the life they built between everything else. ⸻ Then smiled faintly. “…Motion passed.” ⸻ And the house— as always— felt like it agreed too.
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.
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.
Esta historia no empezó con amor ni romance.Empezó con una verdad que durante mucho tiempo nadie quiso decir. No voy a empezar con cursilerías.Si llegaste hasta aquí, no fue por promesas bonitas ni por finales felices. Viniste por curiosidad, por chisme o simplemente por querer saber qué pasó de verdad. Y está bien. Esta historia no intenta ser romántica, así que voy a empezar por donde casi todos quieren conocerla, y sin rodeos. Antes de todo, tengo que decir quién soy y por qué esta historia importa. Lo que voy a contar ocurrió en un pueblo lejano. Desde afuera parecía un lugar común, incluso tranquilo, pero en el fondo no lo era. Este lugar era conocido por ofrecer ciertos “servicios” que muchos hombres buscaban, aunque casi nadie hablaba de eso en voz alta. Había familias por todas partes, pero la mayoría cargaba más problemas que sueños. El dinero nunca alcanzaba, y muchos padres decidieron dejar sus responsabilidades en manos de sus propios hijos. Algo que se repetía demasiado era que en varias casas nacían solo mujeres. Para muchas de esas niñas, crecer no significaba elegir un futuro, sino aguantar lo que les tocaba. Desde muy pequeñas tenían que trabajar para mantener a padres que no querían hacerlo ni preocuparse por su educación. Al final, ellas terminaron pagando errores que nunca cometieron. Con el tiempo, algunas mujeres que llevaban años atrapadas en ese mundo se encargaban de traer a las más jóvenes. Así funcionaba todo. Nadie hacía preguntas. Nadie quería saber qué pasaba después. Tal vez ahora piensen qué clase de vida es esa.Pues bien, de un lugar así fue de donde salió mi madre Alma.
A super hero's job is difficult in a world filled with supers and this hero is tired and wants to find a woman or two to warm his bed, maybe even love. The hero is tall, handsome, with blonde hair and a fashionable undercut military haircut.
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…
A guy walking down the street sees a girl, and she waves at him
Greyson is too scared to talk to girls, and EJ needs to help him
At Seoul Arts High School, there were always people everyone talked about. And one of them was Jennie. Jennie was one of the most popular girls in school. She had long black hair, a stylish look, and a confident personality that made people notice her wherever she went. She was talented, smart, and had a natural charm that made people want to be around her. But even though everyone knew her… Not everyone knew the real Jennie. The Jennie who laughed loudly with her friends. The Jennie who cared more than she admitted. ⸻ When Jennie walked into the hallway, students immediately noticed. “Jennie’s here.” “She looks so cool.” “She’s always so confident.” Jennie smiled politely and kept walking. She was used to it. ⸻ Meanwhile, Lisa and Rosé were showing I.N around the school. Lisa’s brown hair moved as she pointed toward different classrooms. “That’s the dance studio.” Rosé, with her blonde hair and soft smile, pointed ahead. “And that’s the music room. You’ll probably spend a lot of time there.” I.N laughed. “Probably.” He was starting to feel comfortable. ⸻ Then Jennie walked over. “Hey.” Lisa smiled. “Jennie!” Rosé waved. “This is I.N.” Jennie looked at him. The new student everyone had been talking about. “I heard you’re good at music.” I.N looked surprised. “You heard?” Jennie smiled. “People talk.” He laughed. “Is that a good thing?” “Usually.” ⸻ Over the next few days, Jennie and I.N started spending more time together. At first, it was small things. Studying together. Talking after class. Sharing music ideas. I.N noticed something about Jennie. She wasn’t just the popular girl everyone saw. She was actually funny. She was kind. And she understood what it felt like to have people watching you all the time. ⸻ One afternoon, I.N was sitting in the music room, struggling with a song. Jennie walked in. “Still working on it?” He looked up. “Yeah. I can’t get the melody right.” Jennie sat beside him. “Play it again.” He did. She smiled. “I like it.” “Really?” “Yeah. It sounds like you.” I.N smiled. “Thanks.” For some reason, hearing that from Jennie meant a lot. ⸻ From outside the room, Lisa and Rosé watched. Lisa whispered, “They’re getting close.” Rosé smiled. “Yeah.” And neither of them noticed… That something new was slowly starting.
Chapter 6 – Wait… You Live Here?! The School Festival had finally ended. Students slowly left campus, laughing and carrying prizes, snacks, and souvenirs. Jennie adjusted her silver headphones around her neck as she walked toward the student dorms. Her long black hair with soft curtain bangs rested neatly over her oversized black hoodie. She wore baggy black cargo pants with silver chains, black-and-white high-top sneakers, and carried her backpack over one shoulder. “Finally…” “Peace and quiet.” ⸻ Across campus, Felix headed toward the same building. His soft black hair was slightly messy after spending the entire day running the basketball booth. He wore his black-and-red varsity jacket over a white T-shirt, black athletic pants, and white basketball sneakers. A duffel bag hung over his shoulder while he lazily spun a basketball in one hand. “My bed…” “I’ve missed you.” ⸻ Walking behind him was Han. His soft brown hair stuck up in every direction after running around the festival all day. He wore his oversized dark green hoodie under a denim jacket, relaxed black jeans, and worn white sneakers. He was carrying three bags of leftover festival snacks. “I stole—” Jisoo looked at him. “You what?” Han corrected himself. “I legally rescued these snacks.” ⸻ Rosé and Lisa walked together. Rosé’s long lavender hair flowed over her oversized lavender cardigan. She wore ripped blue jeans and chunky white boots while carrying a small speaker. Lisa’s long ash-blonde hair with bangs bounced as she skipped beside her. She wore her black bomber jacket, a graphic T-shirt, baggy cargo pants, and colorful sneakers. Lisa grinned. “I can’t believe Jennie actually smiled today.” Rosé smiled. “It lasted about half a second.” ⸻ Jisoo followed behind them. Her long dark red hair rested neatly over one shoulder. She wore a cream knit sweater, a black pleated skirt, black tights, and ankle boots. “I saw it too.” Lisa gasped dramatically. “We witnessed history.” ⸻ Hyunjin walked with his suitcase. His long blond hair looked perfect even after a full day at the festival. He wore an oversized cream sweater, black wide-leg trousers, layered silver necklaces, and clean sneakers. He looked up at the dorm building. “Home…” “…but make it fashionable.” Han sighed. “How do you make a building fashionable?” Hyunjin smiled. “You simply exist near it.” ⸻ The seven students walked toward the entrance. Jennie reached the front door first. She unlocked it. Stepped inside. Kicked off her shoes. “…Finally.” She walked into the living room— —and froze. There… Standing in the kitchen… Was Felix. He froze too. “…” “…” “…Why are you in my dorm?” Jennie asked. Felix frowned. “Your dorm?” “This is my dorm.” Jennie crossed her arms. “No.” “It literally is.” Felix pointed at the couch. “My bag is here.” Jennie pointed at the hallway. “My room is here.” Before either of them could say another word… Han walked in carrying his mountain of snacks. He looked at both of them. “Oh.” He slowly backed toward the door. “I’m coming back later.” “No, you’re not!” Jennie and Felix shouted. Han grinned. “Okay… this is funny.” ⸻ Rosé, Lisa, Jisoo, and Hyunjin walked in a few seconds later. Lisa looked around. “…Wait.” She looked at Jennie. “You didn’t know?” Jennie blinked. “Know what?” Rosé tilted her head. “The principal combined the dorms yesterday.” Jennie slowly turned toward Felix. Felix slowly turned toward Jennie. Jisoo quietly nodded. “You’re roommates now.” Silence. Complete… Absolute… Silence. Then— “WHAT?!” Jennie and Felix yelled so loudly that everyone in the hallway stopped walking. Han nearly dropped all his snacks laughing. “I KNEW THEY DIDN’T KNOW!” ⸻ Jennie pointed at Felix. “I am not sharing a dorm with Basketball.” Felix pointed back. “And I’m not sharing one with DJ Disaster.” Jennie gasped. “DJ Disaster?” Felix shrugged. “It sounded cool.” Jennie smiled. “Basketball Boy.” Felix. “Headphone Queen.” Jennie. “Free Throw Failure.” Felix. “Playlist Goblin.” Jennie. “Varsity Jacket Advertisement.” Felix. “Walking Volume Warning.” Han clapped. “THEY’RE FREESTYLING!” Lisa quickly pulled out her phone. “I’m writing these down.” Rosé laughed so hard she had to sit on the couch. Even Jisoo covered her mouth to hide a smile. Hyunjin nodded dramatically. “This…” “…is the greatest plot twist of the year.” ⸻ Just then, the dorm supervisor walked in. “Good evening, everyone.” He smiled. “I hope you’re all settling in.” Jennie immediately raised her hand. “I have a complaint.” Felix raised his hand too. “So do I.” The supervisor looked at them. “Too bad.” He handed them a paper. Dorm Assignment Room 204 Occupants: Jennie & Felix Jennie stared at the paper. Felix stared at the paper. Han leaned over. “So…” He grinned. “You two are officially roommates.” Jennie and Felix looked at each other. Then looked away at exactly the same time. “This is going to be the worst year ever.” They both said it together. Lisa burst into laughter. “Oh…” “This is going to be the best year ever.”

I went to MowMow’s and ate alone.” Photo 1 looks at photo 3 with a face that shows she knows photo 3 is lying. Photo 1 then says with raised eyebrows “Mei, are you sure you were alone?” “Are you dating someone?” Photo 3 then says with a nervous look on her face while smiling “ No, no, nothing like that Sue I promise.” Photo 1 says with a relaxed face and tiny cute smirk looking at her pink iPhone “Well…..after you left for the gym I had gotten a new follower. It’s from the guy whose order I take at the coffee shop.” Photo 1 says “He came by the class right after you left for MowMow’s.” Photo 3 then says “Oh Wow!” “Your interested in someone?!” Photo 1 says with a red face blushing with her eyes close “No it’s not like that. And besides he’s interested in someone already, he’s just trying to get her attention.” Photo 3 then looks over at photo 1 and shrugs her shoulders with her eyes close with sly smirk and says “Well if you say so.” Photo 3 then ask” how did you find out he has someone he likes?” Photo 1 then says “He came over to the dorm to study.” (Panel close up to photo 3 face as she is shocked.)

Chapter 34 – The Morning After The Chaos The next morning… The dorm was silent. Too silent. Which was always suspicious. ⸻ Jennie woke up slowly. Her blonde hair was completely messy, with strands sticking in every direction. She stared at the ceiling for a few seconds. Then… She remembered. ⸻ The celebration. The dancing. Han’s terrible speeches. Jisoo roasting everyone. Felix helping her back. ⸻ She sat up. “Oh no.” ⸻ A knock came at her door. “Jennie?” Felix. She immediately froze. “Why is Felix outside my room?” She opened the door slightly. ⸻ Felix stood there holding a drink and a bag of breakfast. His black hair was messy from sleeping, and he wore a black hoodie, gray sweatpants, and sneakers. “Morning.” Jennie stared. “Why are you being nice?” Felix looked confused. “Because it’s morning?” “Suspicious.” He laughed. “You think everything is suspicious.” “Because people are suspicious.” ⸻ Felix handed her the breakfast. “You didn’t eat much last night.” Jennie blinked. “You remembered that?” “Yeah.” She looked away. “You’re annoying.” “But?” She sighed. “…Thanks.” ⸻ Suddenly… A loud noise came from the living room. “NO ONE MOVE!” Han. Obviously. ⸻ Jennie and Felix walked out. And stopped. ⸻ The living room was a disaster. ⸻ Han sat on the couch wearing sunglasses indoors. His messy brown hair was somehow even messier. “I have made an important decision.” Lisa looked tired. Her ash-blonde hair was tied into a ponytail, and she wore an oversized hoodie. “What now?” “I am never dancing again.” Everyone stared. Then Han stood up. “Actually, I am dancing tonight.” Everyone groaned. ⸻ Rosé laughed. Her lavender hair was tied loosely, and she wore a cozy sweater. “He’s already changed his mind.” ⸻ Jisoo walked in. Her red hair was messy for once, and she wore a comfortable sweatshirt and jeans. “I have one question.” Everyone looked at her. “Why did Han try to teach a chair how to dance?” Silence. ⸻ Han pointed. “The chair had potential.” ⸻ The room exploded. Jennie laughed. Actually laughed. ⸻ Felix looked at her. “What?” She looked confused. “What?” “You laughed.” “So?” “You don’t usually laugh this much.” Jennie shrugged. “Maybe you guys are slightly less annoying than I thought.” ⸻ Everyone gasped. ⸻ Hyunjin entered dramatically. His blond hair was perfectly styled despite everything, and he wore a black sweatshirt and loose pants. “She has grown emotionally.” Han whispered: “Someone write this down.” ⸻ Jennie grabbed a pillow. “Don’t make this weird.” ⸻ Later… Everyone sat around eating breakfast. The conversation somehow returned to last night. ⸻ Han looked at Felix. “So.” Felix immediately knew. “No.” “I haven’t even asked.” “No.” ⸻ Han smiled. “Did you and Jennie have a moment?” Jennie and Felix both froze. ⸻ “No.” “Absolutely not.” They answered at the same time. Everyone laughed. ⸻ Lisa smiled. “You two are so obvious.” Jennie crossed her arms. “We are not.” Felix nodded. “Definitely not.” ⸻ Rosé looked at them. “You literally agreed at the same time.” Silence. ⸻ Han pointed. “Evidence.” ⸻ Jennie looked at Felix. “This is your fault.” “My fault?” “Yes.” “How?” “You exist.” Felix laughed. “That is still not a reason.” “It is a reason for you.” ⸻ Everyone laughed again. ⸻ But underneath all the teasing… Something had changed. Before, Jennie would have hated everyone noticing. Before, Felix would have avoided admitting anything. Now? They just laughed. Because maybe… They didn’t need to explain it. Maybe everyone already knew. ⸻ And the worst part? Han definitely knew. Which meant… They were never going to hear the end of it.
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.

Chapter 37 – The Countdown to Graduation The announcement appeared on every hallway screen. “Graduation Ceremony: Two Weeks Away.” ⸻ The entire school changed overnight. Suddenly… Everyone was talking about memories. Photos. Last performances. Future plans. ⸻ Jennie stood in the hallway staring at the announcement. Her blonde hair was styled in loose waves, and she wore a black oversized jacket, a white top, baggy jeans, and her favorite boots. For once… She wasn’t making a joke. ⸻ Felix noticed. His black hair was slightly messy, and he wore his varsity jacket, black shirt, athletic pants, and sneakers. “You okay?” Jennie looked at him. “Yeah.” A pause. “Just weird.” “What?” “Everything.” ⸻ Felix looked at the graduation poster. “I know.” “It feels like yesterday we couldn’t stand each other.” Jennie smirked. “You couldn’t stand me.” Felix laughed. “You roasted me every five seconds.” “You deserved it.” ⸻ Han suddenly appeared. His messy brown hair was covered by a graduation cap he wasn’t supposed to be wearing yet. “I heard emotional conversations.” Everyone groaned. ⸻ Lisa walked over laughing. Her ash-blonde hair with bangs was tied back, and she wore a casual black jacket with cargo pants. “Why are you wearing that?” Han looked proud. “I’m preparing.” “For what?” “My future as the best graduate.” “We haven’t graduated yet.” “Details.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. Her lavender hair fell over her shoulders, and she wore a soft sweater and jeans. “He’s been practicing his graduation speech.” Jisoo looked concerned. Her red hair was tied neatly, and she wore a cream sweater with black pants. “How long is it?” Han looked away. “…Forty minutes.” Everyone: “No.” ⸻ Hyunjin arrived dramatically. His blond hair was perfectly styled, and he wore a black sweater with layered necklaces. “Graduation is the end of one era…” Everyone stared. “And the beginning of another.” Han nodded. “Exactly.” Jennie whispered to Felix: “They are both dramatic.” Felix whispered back: “Extremely.” ⸻ Later that day… The group practiced for the ceremony. ⸻ Jennie was helping organize the music. Felix was helping with the sports awards. Han was somehow distracting everyone. ⸻ “Han.” “What?” “Why are you spinning in the graduation chair?” “Testing durability.” “Why?” “In case I become too successful.” ⸻ Jennie shook her head. “You are impossible.” Han smiled. “Thank you.” ⸻ After practice… Jennie and Felix stayed behind. The empty auditorium was quiet. Rows of chairs filled the room. The stage lights were on. ⸻ Felix looked around. “Can’t believe we’re almost done.” Jennie nodded. “Yeah.” ⸻ He smiled. “You know…” “What?” “If we met on the first day again…” “I would still roast you.” “I know.” “And you would still annoy me.” “I know.” ⸻ A small smile appeared on Jennie’s face. “But…” Felix looked at her. “But?” She looked away. “…I’m glad we met.” ⸻ Felix smiled. “Me too.” ⸻ A moment passed. Then… Jennie pointed at his outfit. “Your graduation suit better not look weird.” Felix blinked. “That was the moment you chose to roast me?” “Of course.” He laughed. “Never change.” ⸻ The auditorium lights turned off. They walked out together. Graduation was coming. A new chapter was beginning. But one thing was guaranteed… Even with diplomas… New futures… And everything changing… Jennie and Felix would still find a way to annoy each other.
Book 2 – Chapter 37: The Girls Before the Dance Seven hours. ⸻ That was all that was left until the college dance. ⸻ The dorm was unusually calm. No rushing. No panic. Just four friends sitting together before the biggest night of the year. ⸻ The Girls’ Room ⸻ Jennie sat on the floor checking her DJ playlist one last time. Her short dark bob was slightly messy, and she wore a comfortable black hoodie, loose jeans, and sneakers. Even when relaxing… She still looked like the campus DJ queen. ⸻ Lisa sat on the bed beside her. Her Oreo-inspired haircut — mostly black with white strands throughout — was tied back casually. She wore a cozy sweatshirt and jeans. ⸻ Jisoo was fixing her hair in the mirror. Her long blonde hair with lavender-pink tips was styled beautifully. She wore a soft sweater and a skirt, already looking elegant. ⸻ Rosé sat beside her, smiling. Her short blonde Apatapate-inspired hair was styled naturally, and she wore a relaxed outfit while preparing her accessories. ⸻ For a moment… Everything felt peaceful. ⸻ Then Rosé spoke. ⸻ “So…” ⸻ Everyone looked at her. ⸻ “I have something to tell you.” ⸻ Jennie immediately narrowed her eyes. ⸻ “Why does that sound suspicious?” ⸻ Rosé laughed. ⸻ “I’m going to the dance with Han.” ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Then— ⸻ Lisa smiled. “Finally!” ⸻ Jisoo laughed. “You two were so obvious.” ⸻ Rosé covered her face. ⸻ “Were we?” ⸻ Jennie looked at her. ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ “How?” ⸻ “You both looked at each other like you forgot other people existed.” ⸻ Rosé laughed. ⸻ “That’s… accurate.” ⸻ Jennie’s Turn ⸻ Lisa looked at Jennie. ⸻ “Your turn.” ⸻ Jennie blinked. ⸻ “My turn for what?” ⸻ “Who are you going with?” ⸻ Jennie immediately looked away. ⸻ “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” ⸻ Everyone stared. ⸻ Jennie sighed. ⸻ “Fine.” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ “Felix.” ⸻ Lisa smiled. ⸻ “I knew it.” ⸻ Jennie pointed. ⸻ “Don’t.” ⸻ “I’m not saying anything.” ⸻ “Your face is saying enough.” ⸻ Jisoo laughed. ⸻ “You’re happy.” ⸻ Jennie looked offended. ⸻ “No.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. ⸻ “Your denial is getting weaker.” ⸻ “Impossible.” ⸻ ⸻ Jisoo’s Secret ⸻ Jennie looked at Jisoo. ⸻ “What about you?” ⸻ Jisoo smiled. ⸻ “Hyunjin.” ⸻ Lisa gasped. ⸻ “Wait, really?” ⸻ Jisoo laughed. ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ Jennie smirked. ⸻ “That explains why he was acting like he was in a movie.” ⸻ Rosé laughed. ⸻ “He practiced, didn’t he?” ⸻ Jisoo nodded. ⸻ “For a very long time.” ⸻ Everyone laughed. ⸻ Lisa’s Silence ⸻ The room became quieter. ⸻ Lisa smiled. ⸻ “I’m happy for you guys.” ⸻ But the others noticed. ⸻ Jennie looked at her. ⸻ “Lisa.” ⸻ “I’m fine.” ⸻ Jisoo tilted her head. ⸻ “Are you sure?” ⸻ Lisa looked down. ⸻ For a second… She didn’t answer. ⸻ “I guess I just didn’t expect everyone to have plans.” ⸻ The room softened. ⸻ Rosé immediately moved closer. ⸻ “Hey.” ⸻ Lisa looked up. ⸻ “You’re not left out.” ⸻ Jisoo nodded. ⸻ “Never.” ⸻ Jennie put down her headphones. ⸻ “You’re literally the person who keeps us all together.” ⸻ Lisa smiled slightly. ⸻ “That sounded almost nice coming from you.” ⸻ Jennie rolled her eyes. ⸻ “Don’t ruin it.” ⸻ Everyone laughed. ⸻ Lisa hugged them. ⸻ ⸻ Lisa’s Secret ⸻ After a moment… Lisa smiled. ⸻ “Actually…” ⸻ Everyone looked at her. ⸻ “I do have someone to go with.” ⸻ Jennie raised an eyebrow. ⸻ “Excuse me?” ⸻ Lisa grinned. ⸻ “He’s a friend.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. ⸻ “Who?” ⸻ Lisa shook her head. ⸻ “Not telling.” ⸻ Jisoo laughed. ⸻ “Why?” ⸻ “Because I want to surprise you.” ⸻ Jennie smirked. ⸻ “Suspicious.” ⸻ “Very.” ⸻ “But…” Lisa smiled. ⸻ “I’m excited.” ⸻ Jennie nodded. ⸻ “Good.” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ “And if he disappoints you…” ⸻ Lisa laughed. ⸻ “You’re going to roast him?” ⸻ Jennie shrugged. ⸻ “Obviously.” ⸻ Everyone laughed. ⸻ Seven hours later… ⸻ Four girls would walk into the dance. ⸻ Four different stories. ⸻ Four different secrets. ⸻ And one unforgettable night waiting for them.
Chapter 38 – The Dream College Letters The day everyone had been waiting for finally arrived. College acceptance day. ⸻ The dorm was more chaotic than usual. Which was impressive. ⸻ Jennie sat on the couch staring at her laptop. Her blonde hair was tied in a loose ponytail, and she wore an oversized black hoodie, baggy jeans, and sneakers. She looked calm. Too calm. Felix noticed. “You’ve been staring at that screen for ten minutes.” “I’m thinking.” “About?” “Whether I should open it.” Felix blinked. “It’s an email.” “It’s an important email.” “You’re scared of an email?” Jennie looked at him. “I’m scared of disappointment.” For once… Felix didn’t tease her. ⸻ “You worked hard.” She looked at him. “You know that, right?” Jennie smiled slightly. “You’re being nice again.” “Don’t get used to it.” She smirked. “Too late.” ⸻ Then… Han ran into the room. His brown hair was completely messy, and he wore his green hoodie and jeans. “I GOT IN!” Everyone jumped. ⸻ Lisa looked up. Her ash-blonde hair with bangs was tied back, and she wore a black jacket and cargo pants. “Han, you scared me.” “I couldn’t contain my greatness.” Jisoo walked in behind him. Her red hair was neatly styled, and she wore a cream sweater with black pants. “You mean you couldn’t contain your screaming.” “Same thing.” ⸻ Rosé opened her email next. Her lavender hair fell over her shoulders as she smiled. “I got in too.” Everyone cheered. ⸻ Hyunjin dramatically held his phone. His blond hair was perfectly styled, and he wore a black sweater with layered accessories. “I have received my destiny.” Han looked over. “Just say you got accepted.” “I was being dramatic.” “We know.” ⸻ One by one… The letters came in. ⸻ Lisa got accepted into her dream program. Rosé got accepted into her dream music college. Jisoo got accepted into her dream university. Han got accepted into the college he wanted, even after everyone doubted his ability to stay focused. Hyunjin got accepted into his dream arts program. ⸻ Finally… Everyone looked at Jennie and Felix. ⸻ Felix opened his first. He stared. Then smiled. “I got in.” Everyone cheered. ⸻ Jennie smiled. “Of course you did, basketball boy.” Felix looked at her. “That’s your congratulations?” “Yes.” “Wow.” “You expected something else?” “Maybe.” “Too bad.” ⸻ Then Jennie opened hers. Silence. ⸻ She read the email. Her eyes widened. Felix noticed. “Jennie?” She looked up. “I got in.” ⸻ The room exploded. ⸻ Han screamed. Lisa hugged her. Rosé started cheering. Jisoo smiled proudly. Hyunjin declared: “This is the beginning of a new era.” ⸻ Felix smiled the biggest. “You did it.” Jennie looked at everyone. She wasn’t usually emotional. But this time… She was. ⸻ “I actually did it.” Felix nodded. “You did.” ⸻ Later that evening… Everyone celebrated. There was food everywhere. Music playing. Pictures being taken. ⸻ Han held up his phone. “Group picture!” Everyone gathered. ⸻ Jennie stood beside Felix. Han looked at them. “Move closer.” “No.” “Yes.” “We’re already standing next to each other.” “Not enough.” ⸻ Lisa laughed. “Han, stop forcing moments.” “I am creating memories.” ⸻ The photo was taken. Everyone laughing. Everyone smiling. ⸻ Afterward… Jennie looked at the picture. A year ago… She didn’t know any of them. She thought Felix was just a popular athlete. He thought she was just a cold DJ who insulted everyone. Now… They were family. ⸻ Felix looked at the photo. “Ready for college?” Jennie shrugged. “Maybe.” “Maybe?” “I’m ready.” She smiled. “But don’t think college means you escape my roasts.” Felix laughed. “I knew there was a catch.” ⸻ The future was changing. New schools. New challenges. New chapters. But one thing was certain… Wherever they went… The chaos would follow.

Chapter 1 – The Worst First Impression The first bell hadn’t even rung, but the school was already buzzing with students. Everyone had heard of the school’s two biggest stars. Not because they were friends. Because they couldn’t stand each other. ⸻ Jennie Jennie walked through the hallway with effortless confidence. Her long, silky black hair, styled with soft curtain bangs like her iconic “Ice Cream” and “How You Like That” looks, flowed neatly over her shoulders. Her expression was calm and unreadable, making her seem intimidating without even trying. She wore an oversized charcoal-gray hoodie over loose black cargo jeans with silver chains hanging from the pockets. Black-and-white high-top sneakers completed her outfit, while large silver headphones rested around her neck. A small silver ring decorated one finger, and her black backpack was covered with tiny music pins. Everyone knew Jennie. She was the school’s legendary DJ. She made incredible remixes for pep rallies, dances, and school events. She was also famous for roasting people with perfectly timed one-liners. Most students were too scared to argue with her. ⸻ Felix Outside the gym, Felix dribbled a basketball across the court. His soft black hair was slightly messy after early morning practice, falling naturally over his forehead. He had warm brown eyes and an easy smile that made almost everyone like him instantly. He wore a white athletic T-shirt underneath a black-and-red varsity jacket, relaxed black athletic pants, white crew socks, and spotless white basketball sneakers. He was captain of the basketball team and one of the most popular students in school. Girls constantly tried to talk to him. He still didn’t understand why. ⸻ Jisoo Walking toward class with a stack of neatly organized books was Jisoo. Her long dark red hair shimmered under the hallway lights, perfectly brushed and tucked behind one ear. She carried herself with quiet confidence and always looked elegant. She wore a cream-colored knit sweater, a black pleated skirt over black tights, and polished ankle boots. Small pearl earrings and a delicate silver necklace completed her look. She was kind, responsible, and somehow always ended up cleaning up everyone else’s chaos. ⸻ Rosé Music drifted from the auditorium where Rosé was helping set up sound equipment. Her long lavender hair was loose with gentle waves flowing down her back. She had a relaxed smile that instantly made people feel comfortable. She wore an oversized lavender cardigan over a simple white T-shirt, ripped light-blue jeans, and chunky white boots. Around one wrist were colorful friendship bracelets she had made herself. She loved music almost as much as Jennie did. ⸻ Lisa Standing beside Rosé was Lisa. Her long ash-blonde hair with straight bangs framed her bright smile perfectly. Her eyes sparkled with mischief, usually because she was about to cause some harmless trouble. She wore an oversized black bomber jacket, a bright graphic T-shirt, loose cargo pants, and colorful sneakers covered with tiny paint splatter designs. Lisa loved dancing, laughing, and making every situation ten times more chaotic. ⸻ Han Han hurried through the hallway carrying way too many notebooks. His soft brown hair looked like he had forgotten to brush it after waking up, giving him a permanently messy look. He wore a green hoodie under a denim jacket, dark jeans, and comfortable sneakers. He talked nonstop, laughed at nearly everything, and somehow always knew the latest school gossip before anyone else. ⸻ Hyunjin Leaning against a classroom doorway was Hyunjin. His long blond hair was perfectly styled, making him look like he had stepped straight out of a fashion magazine. He wore an oversized cream sweater, black wide-leg trousers, layered silver necklaces, and clean designer sneakers. He was artistic, dramatic, and believed every ordinary moment deserved movie-level slow motion. ⸻ The first bell echoed through the school. Jennie adjusted the headphones around her neck. Felix bounced his basketball one last time. Neither of them knew it yet… But before the day was over, they would already be arguing.

Early morning. A narrow Korean street, shops just opening. Minji's kiosk is small, warm-lit, slightly cluttered but alive. Steam rising from the coffee machine. She's arranging things her own way — papers stacked at an angle, snacks displayed with no obvious system. The street is quiet. This is her time.

Jey jokes: “I think I’m pretty courageous for having walked toward three VERY intimidating goth women.” Then: “My mom told me not to talk to strangers, but I made an exception for you!” Erin laughs/groans. Cass jokes that he must practice those lines. Maya smiles, amused. Then Maya says: “Good exception.” Final panel of this section: Maya, smiling, says: “I was considering coming over earlier.” Cass and Erin react dramatically in the background. Scene 2 — immediate continuation, fun teasing Show the group still dancing close together. Jey lights up and jokingly answers Maya: “Why would you even want to do that?” He mimics Cass’s scrunched face in a playful way. Maya laughs. Cass says her face is copyrighted or reacts playfully. Maya gives Jey a teasing once-over and says: “You looked interesting.” Then adds: “And then you started dancing.” The group chemistry should feel funny, flirty, and natural. Scene 3 — softer intimate moment Continue seamlessly into a slightly more emotionally intimate exchange while music and dancing continue. Cass makes her exaggerated cute face-scrunch again. Jey jokes: “It’s not fair, I don’t have makeup so I can’t look cute while doing it. I lose.” Cass reacts smugly, Erin laughs. Jey turns toward Maya, checks the time briefly, and says: “I feel like I’ve known you for a lot longer than an hour, which is honestly a little terrifying.” Maya’s teasing expression softens. She replies: “Yeah… actually. That’s kinda weird.” Then she says: “We skipped the part where you’re supposed to ask what music I like and pretend you remember my job. Instead you bought us drinks, started making terrible jokes, and somehow we’re already bullying each other.” Final panel: Maya gives Jey a light shoulder bump and says softly: “But I know what you mean.” Visual / emotional notes Strong nightclub atmosphere, moving crowd, neon light, dancing bodies, expressive faces. Emphasize chemistry between Jey and Maya, but keep Erin and Cass lively and present. Show Cass as funny and performative, Erin as witty and observant, Maya as graceful, teasing, and increasingly warm. Jey should look like he is having one of the happiest nights of his life. Keep body language believable and full of motion. Make the paneling dynamic and cinematic.
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.

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 2: A New Jennie Summer was almost over. College was almost here. And for the first time in a long time… Jennie wanted a change. Not because she wanted to become someone else. But because she wanted to start a new chapter as herself. ⸻ She stood in front of her mirror. Her blonde hair from the past year was still there. The same hair everyone knew. The same hair from the DJ competition. The same hair Felix always complimented. ⸻ Jennie stared at her reflection. “College is a fresh start.” She touched her hair. “Maybe it’s time for something different.” ⸻ She picked up her phone. The first person she called was Lisa. ⸻ Lisa answered immediately. “What’s happening?” Jennie paused. “I’m changing my hair.” Silence. Then— “WAIT.” “LIKE ACTUALLY CHANGING IT?” “Yes.” “I’M COMING OVER.” ⸻ An hour later… Lisa arrived at Jennie’s house. Her ash-blonde hair with bangs was styled perfectly, and she wore a black jacket, cargo pants, and sneakers. She walked into Jennie’s room and looked around. “So…” She pointed at Jennie. “You are seriously doing this?” Jennie nodded. “Yes.” Lisa smiled. “I knew this day would come.” ⸻ First decision: The color. ⸻ Jennie sat in the salon chair. The stylist looked at her blonde hair. “Are you sure you want to go back?” Jennie nodded. “Yeah.” ⸻ The blonde slowly disappeared. Back to her original dark hair color. The color that felt familiar. The color that felt like home. ⸻ When she looked in the mirror… She smiled. She looked like the old Jennie. But different. Older. More confident. ⸻ Lisa smiled. “I forgot how much this suits you.” Jennie touched her hair. “I missed it.” ⸻ Then came the second decision. The haircut. ⸻ Jennie looked at the stylist. “Cut it.” Lisa looked shocked. “How short?” Jennie thought. Then smiled. “Short.” ⸻ The scissors started moving. ⸻ Piece by piece… Her long hair changed. Until finally… She had a sleek bob haircut. It framed her face perfectly. It was stylish. Cool. A little bold. Exactly like her personality. ⸻ Lisa stared. “No way.” “What?” “You look like someone who would walk into college and immediately become the most intimidating person there.” Jennie smirked. “So basically me.” Lisa laughed. “Exactly.” ⸻ Jennie looked in the mirror again. For the first time in weeks… She felt excited. ⸻ Next mission: Shopping. ⸻ Lisa refused to let Jennie keep the exact same wardrobe. “No.” Jennie held up a black jacket. “What?” “You have seventeen versions of that.” “They are different.” “They are all black.” “They have different vibes.” Lisa sighed. “You are impossible.” ⸻ They spent the entire day shopping. Jennie picked out: * stylish jackets * new tops * different jeans * sneakers and boots * accessories * outfits that felt more mature ⸻ Lisa held up a colorful outfit. “Try it.” Jennie looked suspicious. “Why?” “Because college Jennie needs to surprise people.” ⸻ After trying new styles… Jennie actually liked them. They were still cool. Still her. Just a new version. ⸻ By the end of the day… Her room looked completely different. Clothes everywhere. Shopping bags on the floor. Suitcases open. ⸻ Jennie packed everything carefully. Her new clothes. Her DJ equipment. Her headphones. Her graduation photo. Her trophy. ⸻ Then she found one picture. The whole group. Lisa. Rosé. Jisoo. Han. Hyunjin. Felix. ⸻ She smiled. Then quickly put it into her suitcase. ⸻ “New college.” “New style.” “New chapter.” ⸻ Lisa leaned against the doorway. “You know…” “What?” “You’re not becoming a different person.” Jennie looked at her. “You’re just letting people see another side of you.” ⸻ Jennie smiled. “That’s actually a good line.” Lisa gasped. “Did Jennie just compliment me?” “Don’t get used to it.” “There she is.” ⸻ That night… Jennie closed her suitcase. Her new haircut. Her new style. Her new beginning. ⸻ She looked at herself one last time. The old Jennie wasn’t gone. The DJ. The roast queen. The girl who never backed down. She was still there. Just with a new look. ⸻ College was waiting. And Jennie was ready. But she didn’t know… Her new chapter was about to bring back the one person she thought was already gone.
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.
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.
Book 2 – Chapter 12: The Girls’ Day For once… No drama. No Felix. No Han chaos. No college competition. ⸻ Just the girls. ⸻ Jennie woke up late. Which was rare. Very rare. ⸻ Lisa immediately noticed. She walked into the room holding snacks. “Are you okay?” Jennie looked up. “Why?” “You slept past your alarm.” Jennie shrugged. “Maybe my alarm was annoying.” Lisa stared. “It was your alarm.” “Exactly.” ⸻ Lisa laughed. “You’re impossible.” Jennie grabbed a pillow and threw it at her. “You’re loud.” ⸻ But Lisa smiled. Because that was Jennie. Cold to the world. But with them? Different. ⸻ A few minutes later, Jisoo and Rosé arrived. ⸻ Jisoo’s long blonde hair with lavender-pink ends was tied back casually. Rosé’s black hair was styled softly, and she carried drinks for everyone. ⸻ Rosé smiled. “Girls’ day.” ⸻ Jennie looked at the drinks. “Finally. Something useful.” ⸻ Lisa gasped. “You mean my company isn’t useful?” Jennie looked at her. “Your company is questionable.” ⸻ Lisa put her hand on her heart. “That hurt.” Jennie looked away. “Good.” ⸻ Jisoo laughed. “You say that, but you saved her a seat.” ⸻ Jennie froze. “I did not.” ⸻ Lisa pointed. “You literally moved your bag so I could sit there.” ⸻ Jennie looked away. “Accident.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. “You’re terrible at pretending you don’t care.” ⸻ Jennie narrowed her eyes. “Careful.” ⸻ Rosé laughed. “There she is.” ⸻ The girls spent the afternoon walking around campus. ⸻ They went shopping. They got snacks. They explored the little stores near the college. ⸻ Lisa held up a jacket. “Jennie, this would look amazing on you.” ⸻ Jennie looked. “No.” “Why?” “Because you picked it.” ⸻ Lisa looked offended. “Wow.” ⸻ Jennie smiled slightly. “But…” She took the jacket. “It is actually good.” ⸻ Lisa gasped. “Was that a compliment?” Jennie immediately looked away. “Don’t get excited.” ⸻ Jisoo laughed. “That was basically a love letter from Jennie.” ⸻ Jennie rolled her eyes. “You’re all dramatic.” ⸻ Later, they sat outside with snacks. ⸻ For a while, nobody talked. It was peaceful. ⸻ Rosé looked at Jennie. “Are you okay?” ⸻ Jennie looked at her. “I’m fine.” ⸻ Jisoo raised an eyebrow. “Real fine or Jennie fine?” ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Lisa immediately understood. “Jennie fine.” ⸻ Jennie sighed. “You three are annoying.” ⸻ “But?” ⸻ She looked at them. ⸻ Then quietly said: “But you’re my annoying people.” ⸻ The three girls smiled. ⸻ Because that was Jennie’s version of saying: I love you. ⸻ Lisa leaned closer. “So…” “What?” “Are we allowed to mention Felix?” ⸻ Jennie’s eyes narrowed. “No.” ⸻ Lisa nodded. “Okay.” ⸻ Two seconds later. ⸻ “Anyway—” ⸻ “Lisa.” ⸻ “Okay, okay!” ⸻ Jisoo laughed. “You lasted three seconds.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. “New record.” ⸻ Jennie shook her head. “You all need help.” ⸻ But she was smiling. ⸻ And for the first time in days… Jennie wasn’t the savage queen fighting everyone. She wasn’t the DJ ready to destroy anyone who challenged her. ⸻ She was just Jennie. With her three favorite people. ⸻ And maybe… Just maybe… That was the only place where she didn’t need armor.write in English

Photo 1 is working behind a cute modern little coffee shop wearing a super cute uniform and hat. Photo 1 is wiping down a table after the customer left. 1 of her coworkers walks over her to her with a smile and says “look at you, I wanna be that dedicated to my job like you”.

Photo 1 then ask her coworker, “ hey who were those guys from earlier?” Photo 1 is having a flash back of serving an ice coffee to photo 2 while photo 3 was standing behind photo 2 as a body gaurd. Her coworker then remembers as well and says “ I don’t know them personally but I do know that photo 2 (who she refers to as the really tall and handsome guy) goes to some rich college.” Then she says “ And I do know they started do come around when you started working here, and he only really goes to you to get rigged up”.
