"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.

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…
Reincarnated into a world of martial arts and become the leader of sect
A tired young witch with short silver hair and a crooked black hat works the night shift at a tiny convenience store. Panel 1: She stands behind the register at 2:00 a.m., staring blankly at a glowing blue ghost who has placed a cup of instant noodles on the counter. The store is empty, fluorescent-lit, and rainy outside. The ghost looks nervous and searches its transparent pockets. Panel 2: The witch sighs and points to a handwritten sign that says, “NO SOULS, CURSES, OR ANCIENT COINS.” The embarrassed ghost holds up one ancient gold coin while the noodles begin floating beside it. Style: supernatural comedy, expressive faces, detailed modern manhwa art, cinematic lighting.

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.
Book 2 – Chapter 36: Operation Jisoo — Hyunjin’s Dramatic Disaster After Han and Felix completed their missions… Everyone thought Hyunjin would be the easiest. ⸻ They were completely wrong. ⸻ The Final Emergency Meeting ⸻ The dorm room was quiet. Too quiet. ⸻ Felix sat on the couch. Han was eating snacks. ⸻ Then… The door opened dramatically. ⸻ Hyunjin walked in. ⸻ Slowly. ⸻ Very slowly. ⸻ Wearing sunglasses. ⸻ Everyone stared. ⸻ Han lowered his snack. “What are you doing?” ⸻ Hyunjin removed the sunglasses. ⸻ “Preparing.” ⸻ “For what?” ⸻ “My greatest moment.” ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Felix blinked. ⸻ “You are asking Jisoo to the dance.” ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ “Not proposing.” ⸻ Hyunjin looked offended. ⸻ “I know.” ⸻ “Because you are acting like you’re proposing.” ⸻ Hyunjin ignored him. ⸻ “I need the perfect words.” ⸻ Han laughed. ⸻ “You mean a dramatic speech.” ⸻ “Exactly.” ⸻ Felix sighed. ⸻ “Oh no.” ⸻ ⸻ The Speech Practice ⸻ Hyunjin stood in front of the mirror. ⸻ “Jisoo…” ⸻ He paused. ⸻ “When I first saw you—” ⸻ Han immediately stopped him. ⸻ “No.” ⸻ Hyunjin turned. ⸻ “What?” ⸻ “Too much.” ⸻ “But it’s meaningful.” ⸻ “It’s a dance invitation, not a movie ending.” ⸻ Hyunjin frowned. ⸻ “You’re ruining my art.” ⸻ Felix laughed. ⸻ “Your art is terrifying.” ⸻ Hyunjin tried again. ⸻ “Jisoo, you are the light that—” ⸻ “Stop.” ⸻ Felix covered his face. ⸻ “You can’t say ‘the light’ before asking someone to dance.” ⸻ “Why?” ⸻ “Because she might think you joined a poetry club.” ⸻ Han nodded. ⸻ “Or a drama competition.” ⸻ Hyunjin sighed. ⸻ “You two have no romance.” ⸻ ⸻ Operation Begins ⸻ The next day… Hyunjin found Jisoo in the garden. ⸻ Jisoo was sitting peacefully. Her long blonde hair with lavender-pink tips moved softly in the breeze. She wore a cream cardigan, a simple dress, and sneakers. ⸻ Hyunjin walked toward her. ⸻ Slowly. ⸻ Jisoo looked up. ⸻ “Why are you walking like you’re entering a stage?” ⸻ Hyunjin stopped. ⸻ “Do I do that?” ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ “Okay.” ⸻ He sat down. ⸻ Jisoo smiled. ⸻ “Are you okay?” ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ “You look nervous.” ⸻ “I am not.” ⸻ “You are.” ⸻ Hyunjin sighed. ⸻ “Why is everyone so good at noticing things?” ⸻ Jisoo laughed. ⸻ ⸻ The Actual Question ⸻ Hyunjin took a breath. ⸻ “Jisoo.” ⸻ She looked at him. ⸻ “I wanted to ask…” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ Han’s voice appeared in his head: “Don’t make it a movie.” ⸻ Felix’s voice: “Don’t say ‘light.’” ⸻ Hyunjin nodded. ⸻ “Would you go to the dance with me?” ⸻ Simple. ⸻ Normal. ⸻ Jisoo blinked. ⸻ Then smiled. ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ Hyunjin froze. ⸻ “Wait.” ⸻ “What?” ⸻ “That’s it?” ⸻ Jisoo laughed. ⸻ “What did you expect?” ⸻ “I don’t know.” ⸻ “You looked like you were about to give a speech.” ⸻ Hyunjin looked away. ⸻ “I prepared one.” ⸻ Jisoo smiled. ⸻ “Of course you did.” ⸻ ⸻ Back at the Dorm ⸻ Hyunjin walked in. ⸻ Felix and Han looked up. ⸻ “Well?” ⸻ Hyunjin stood silently. ⸻ Then… ⸻ He dramatically fell onto the couch. ⸻ “I succeeded.” ⸻ Han laughed. ⸻ “Did you survive?” ⸻ “Barely.” ⸻ Felix smiled. ⸻ “Did you say the speech?” ⸻ Hyunjin looked offended. ⸻ “No.” ⸻ “Good.” ⸻ “Why?” ⸻ “Because it would have taken an hour.” ⸻ Hyunjin crossed his arms. ⸻ “It was beautiful.” ⸻ Han nodded. ⸻ “I’m sure it was.” ⸻ “You’re mocking me.” ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ Everyone laughed. ⸻ Three missions. ⸻ Three successes. ⸻ Han and Rosé. Felix and Jennie. Hyunjin and Jisoo. ⸻ Now only one thing remained… ⸻ The college dance. ⸻ And everyone knew… With Jennie as the DJ… It was going to be unforgettable.
Book 2 – Chapter 34: Operation Rose — Han’s Impossible Mission The college dance was only hours away. The outfits were ready. The decorations were done. The music was prepared. ⸻ But three boys had one huge problem. ⸻ They needed to ask three girls. ⸻ Operation One: Han → Rosé ⸻ And Han was completely failing. ⸻ The Boys’ Emergency Meeting ⸻ The dorm room looked like a war room. ⸻ Han sat on the bed staring at his phone. His black hair fading into blue at the ends was slightly messy from stress. He wore a blue jacket, black jeans, and sneakers. ⸻ Felix looked at him. His blonde hair was styled neatly, and he wore a black shirt with dark pants. ⸻ “You’ve been staring at the same message for twenty minutes.” ⸻ Han looked up. “I’m creating the perfect message.” ⸻ Hyunjin walked in. His red-tipped hair was perfectly styled, and he wore a black jacket. ⸻ “What have you written?” ⸻ Han showed them. ⸻ “Hey Rosé, would you like to attend the dance with me?” ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Felix blinked. ⸻ “That’s it?” ⸻ Han looked offended. “Yes.” ⸻ Hyunjin nodded. ⸻ “Honestly…” ⸻ Han smiled. ⸻ “See? Good.” ⸻ “…It’s so normal that it’s suspicious.” ⸻ Han’s smile disappeared. ⸻ “What does that mean?” ⸻ “It means you.” ⸻ Felix laughed. ⸻ “You wrote a normal sentence and somehow made it weird.” ⸻ Han sighed. ⸻ “Helpful. Both of you are incredibly helpful.” ⸻ Operation Begins ⸻ Han walked into the practice room. ⸻ Rosé was there. ⸻ Her short blonde Apatapate-inspired hair was styled beautifully, and she wore a casual outfit with a denim jacket, a simple top, and jeans. She was organizing music. ⸻ Han froze. ⸻ Immediately forgot his plan. ⸻ Rosé looked up. ⸻ “Han?” ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ “Why are you standing there like you forgot how doors work?” ⸻ Han blinked. ⸻ “I was…” ⸻ Thinking. ⸻ Rosé smiled. ⸻ “That’s dangerous.” ⸻ Han laughed nervously. ⸻ “Very funny.” ⸻ He took a breath. ⸻ “Rosé, I wanted to ask—” ⸻ Suddenly… A speaker behind him made a loud noise. ⸻ Han jumped. ⸻ Rosé stared. ⸻ “Are you okay?” ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ “You looked scared.” ⸻ “I was attacked by technology.” ⸻ Rosé laughed. ⸻ “Technology attacked you?” ⸻ “It was unexpected.” ⸻ The Actual Question ⸻ Han tried again. ⸻ “Rosé.” ⸻ She looked at him. ⸻ “Would you…” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ Han’s brain stopped. ⸻ “…help me choose a jacket?” ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Rosé blinked. ⸻ “A jacket?” ⸻ Han immediately regretted everything. ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ “That was your big question?” ⸻ “No.” ⸻ “Good.” ⸻ Han covered his face. ⸻ “That was terrible.” ⸻ Rosé laughed. ⸻ “Very.” ⸻ He smiled. ⸻ Then finally… ⸻ “Would you go to the dance with me?” ⸻ Quiet. ⸻ Rosé looked surprised. ⸻ Then smiled. ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ Han froze. ⸻ “Wait.” ⸻ “What?” ⸻ “You said yes?” ⸻ Rosé laughed. ⸻ “Yes.” ⸻ “I didn’t expect that.” ⸻ “Why?” ⸻ “Because I spent three hours preparing and still almost asked about jackets.” ⸻ Rosé laughed harder. ⸻ “You almost invited me to a fashion consultation.” ⸻ “Exactly.” ⸻ ⸻ The Celebration ⸻ Han ran back to the dorm. ⸻ Felix looked up. ⸻ “Well?” ⸻ Han dramatically fell onto the couch. ⸻ “Mission complete.” ⸻ Hyunjin clapped slowly. ⸻ “Congratulations.” ⸻ Felix smiled. ⸻ “She said yes?” ⸻ Han nodded proudly. ⸻ Then immediately added: ⸻ “After I almost ruined everything.” ⸻ Felix laughed. ⸻ “That’s very Han.” ⸻ Han pointed. ⸻ “Now it’s your turn.” ⸻ Felix froze. ⸻ Because tomorrow… ⸻ Operation Two: Felix → Jennie ⸻ And everyone knew… ⸻ That was going to be much harder.
Book 2 – Chapter 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 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.

"If you keep staring at that page without turning it, the ink is going to start migrating onto your skin," Elias said, his voice barely a whisper. He was leaning against the mahogany bookshelves of the university library, the scent of old paper and floor wax hanging heavy in the air. The silence of the archives was absolute, save for the rhythmic, distant thumping of a radiator that sounded like a failing heart. Elias wasn't looking at the books, though; he was watching the way the dust motes danced in the narrow slivers of light cutting through the heavy velvet curtains. He shifted his weight, the gray vest he wore feeling a bit too tight across his chest, and glanced toward the table where the other man sat.
A man goes to an village he looks like an viking and camera angle from behind
Back view of a young Viking man riding a black horse on a dirt road toward a peaceful and wealthy Viking village in the distance. The village is still far away, with large wooden Norse houses, clean streets, a harbor with a few Viking ships, and green hills behind it. Only a few villagers are visible, naturally doing their daily work—blacksmith forging, carpenter working, merchant arranging goods, women carrying baskets, children playing, and fishermen near the docks. Nobody notices the hero because he is still far from the village entrance. No overgrown bushes or vines covering the houses. The village looks clean, organized, prosperous, and calm. Bright sunny day, cinematic manhwa style, vertical webtoon panel.
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.
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. Hyunjin. ⸻ All standing there. ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Everyone looked at Jennie and Felix. ⸻ Felix froze. ⸻ Jennie froze. ⸻ Han slowly smiled. ⸻ “Oh.” ⸻ Jennie immediately pointed. “No.” ⸻ “I didn’t even say anything.” ⸻ “You were about to.” ⸻ Han closed his mouth. ⸻ Lisa looked between them. ⸻ “So…” ⸻ Jennie stared. ⸻ “So what?” ⸻ Lisa smiled. ⸻ “Nothing.” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ “Absolutely nothing.” ⸻ Jennie narrowed her eyes. ⸻ “Everyone leave.” ⸻ They laughed. ⸻ Because everyone knew. ⸻ The savage DJ queen was still savage. ⸻ Still terrifying. ⸻ Still impossible. ⸻ But something was definitely different. ⸻ And the funniest part? ⸻ Jennie was the last person who wanted anyone to notice.write in English
Book 2 – Chapter 16: No Second Chances Yet The next morning… The dorm was quieter than usual. Not peaceful. Just quiet. ⸻ Jennie sat at her desk, working on her DJ setup. Her short, cool dark bob haircut framed her face perfectly, giving her that sharp, confident look everyone on campus had started recognizing. She wore a black oversized hoodie, ripped dark jeans, silver jewelry, and black boots. Her headphones rested around her neck as she adjusted the beat. ⸻ No crying. No breaking down. No showing weakness. ⸻ Jennie was back. The savage DJ queen. ⸻ Lisa walked into the room carrying snacks. Her Oreo-inspired haircut — mostly black with white strands mixed throughout — stood out as she placed the bags down. She wore a white hoodie, black cargo pants, and sneakers. She looked at Jennie. “You’re practicing again?” Jennie didn’t look up. “No.” Lisa blinked. “You’re literally holding headphones.” Jennie adjusted the music. “I’m emotionally practicing.” ⸻ Lisa laughed. “That doesn’t even make sense.” Jennie shrugged. “Neither do most people.” ⸻ Lisa smiled. There she was. ⸻ A few minutes later, Jisoo and Rosé arrived. ⸻ Jisoo walked in wearing a soft lavender sweater and jeans. Her long blonde hair with lavender-pink tips fell beautifully over her shoulders. Rosé followed behind her wearing a denim jacket over a black top with relaxed jeans. Her short blonde hair inspired by her Apatapate look was styled effortlessly. ⸻ Rosé looked at Jennie. “Are you feeling better?” Jennie paused. A tiny bit. ⸻ “Yeah.” ⸻ Jisoo smiled. “Actually answering honestly?” Jennie looked at her. “Don’t make this emotional.” ⸻ Lisa laughed. “That was basically a hug from Jennie.” ⸻ Jennie rolled her eyes. “Everyone here is dramatic.” ⸻ Practice Room ⸻ Later, everyone met for practice. ⸻ Felix arrived with his blonde hair slightly messy, wearing a black jacket, gray shirt, jeans, and white sneakers. Han walked beside him wearing a blue-and-black jacket and dark jeans. His black hair faded into blue at the bottom. Hyunjin followed wearing a stylish black outfit, his hair styled with bold red tips. ⸻ Jennie was already there. ⸻ She didn’t look up. ⸻ Felix walked closer. “Jennie.” ⸻ Nothing. ⸻ He tried again. “Can I talk to you?” ⸻ Jennie slowly removed one headphone. Looked at him. ⸻ “No.” ⸻ The room went silent. ⸻ Felix blinked. “Jennie…” ⸻ She tilted her head. “Did you suddenly forget what ‘no’ means?” ⸻ Han looked away. “Okay. Starting strong.” ⸻ Felix sighed. “I just want to explain.” ⸻ Jennie laughed. “Again?” ⸻ “I’m not trying to bother you.” ⸻ She looked him up and down. “That’s funny.” ⸻ “What?” ⸻ “Because bothering people seems to be your hidden talent.” ⸻ Han covered his laugh. Hyunjin looked impressed. ⸻ Felix frowned. “I’m serious.” ⸻ Jennie stepped closer. “So am I.” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ “You already explained.” ⸻ “I know.” ⸻ “And I already listened.” ⸻ Felix looked hopeful. ⸻ Jennie immediately ruined it. “Don’t look so excited. Listening doesn’t mean forgiving.” ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Felix looked hurt. ⸻ “I never wanted to hurt you.” ⸻ Jennie smiled coldly. “Congratulations.” ⸻ Felix frowned. “For what?” ⸻ “You managed to do it anyway.” ⸻ That one hit. ⸻ Han whispered: “That was brutal.” ⸻ Jennie turned. “Did you say something?” ⸻ Han immediately shook his head. “No.” ⸻ “Good choice.” ⸻ Hyunjin crossed his arms. “You really don’t hold back.” ⸻ Jennie looked at him. “And you really talk like you’re in a movie.” ⸻ Hyunjin froze. ⸻ Han laughed. “She got you too.” ⸻ Jennie put her headphones back on. ⸻ Felix tried one more time. “Jennie…” ⸻ She stopped. ⸻ “What?” ⸻ “I miss how we used to be.” ⸻ For one second… A tiny crack appeared. ⸻ Then Jennie closed it. ⸻ “That’s unfortunate.” ⸻ Felix looked down. ⸻ “Because I don’t miss being hurt.” ⸻ The room became quiet. ⸻ She picked up her DJ controller. ⸻ “Practice starts in five minutes.” ⸻ Felix stood there. ⸻ “Are we okay?” ⸻ Jennie looked at him. ⸻ “No.” ⸻ A pause. ⸻ “Not even close.” ⸻ Then she walked away. ⸻ Lisa watched her. She knew Jennie was still angry. But she also knew something else. ⸻ Jennie wasn’t cold because she didn’t care. She was cold because she cared too much. ⸻ And Felix? He was going to have to earn his way back. Because the savage DJ queen wasn’t opening that door again so easily.
Book 2 – Chapter 12: The Girls’ Day For once… No drama. No Felix. No Han chaos. No college competition. ⸻ Just the girls. ⸻ Jennie woke up late. Which was rare. Very rare. ⸻ Lisa immediately noticed. She walked into the room holding snacks. “Are you okay?” Jennie looked up. “Why?” “You slept past your alarm.” Jennie shrugged. “Maybe my alarm was annoying.” Lisa stared. “It was your alarm.” “Exactly.” ⸻ Lisa laughed. “You’re impossible.” Jennie grabbed a pillow and threw it at her. “You’re loud.” ⸻ But Lisa smiled. Because that was Jennie. Cold to the world. But with them? Different. ⸻ A few minutes later, Jisoo and Rosé arrived. ⸻ Jisoo’s long blonde hair with lavender-pink ends was tied back casually. Rosé’s black hair was styled softly, and she carried drinks for everyone. ⸻ Rosé smiled. “Girls’ day.” ⸻ Jennie looked at the drinks. “Finally. Something useful.” ⸻ Lisa gasped. “You mean my company isn’t useful?” Jennie looked at her. “Your company is questionable.” ⸻ Lisa put her hand on her heart. “That hurt.” Jennie looked away. “Good.” ⸻ Jisoo laughed. “You say that, but you saved her a seat.” ⸻ Jennie froze. “I did not.” ⸻ Lisa pointed. “You literally moved your bag so I could sit there.” ⸻ Jennie looked away. “Accident.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. “You’re terrible at pretending you don’t care.” ⸻ Jennie narrowed her eyes. “Careful.” ⸻ Rosé laughed. “There she is.” ⸻ The girls spent the afternoon walking around campus. ⸻ They went shopping. They got snacks. They explored the little stores near the college. ⸻ Lisa held up a jacket. “Jennie, this would look amazing on you.” ⸻ Jennie looked. “No.” “Why?” “Because you picked it.” ⸻ Lisa looked offended. “Wow.” ⸻ Jennie smiled slightly. “But…” She took the jacket. “It is actually good.” ⸻ Lisa gasped. “Was that a compliment?” Jennie immediately looked away. “Don’t get excited.” ⸻ Jisoo laughed. “That was basically a love letter from Jennie.” ⸻ Jennie rolled her eyes. “You’re all dramatic.” ⸻ Later, they sat outside with snacks. ⸻ For a while, nobody talked. It was peaceful. ⸻ Rosé looked at Jennie. “Are you okay?” ⸻ Jennie looked at her. “I’m fine.” ⸻ Jisoo raised an eyebrow. “Real fine or Jennie fine?” ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Lisa immediately understood. “Jennie fine.” ⸻ Jennie sighed. “You three are annoying.” ⸻ “But?” ⸻ She looked at them. ⸻ Then quietly said: “But you’re my annoying people.” ⸻ The three girls smiled. ⸻ Because that was Jennie’s version of saying: I love you. ⸻ Lisa leaned closer. “So…” “What?” “Are we allowed to mention Felix?” ⸻ Jennie’s eyes narrowed. “No.” ⸻ Lisa nodded. “Okay.” ⸻ Two seconds later. ⸻ “Anyway—” ⸻ “Lisa.” ⸻ “Okay, okay!” ⸻ Jisoo laughed. “You lasted three seconds.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. “New record.” ⸻ Jennie shook her head. “You all need help.” ⸻ But she was smiling. ⸻ And for the first time in days… Jennie wasn’t the savage queen fighting everyone. She wasn’t the DJ ready to destroy anyone who challenged her. ⸻ She was just Jennie. With her three favorite people. ⸻ And maybe… Just maybe… That was the only place where she didn’t need armor.write in English
Book 2 – Chapter 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.
Book 2 – Chapter 5: The First College Challenge The first day of college was supposed to be normal. Keyword: Supposed to. ⸻ After the whole “Felix’s definitely-not-girlfriend” drama, everyone walked toward their classes. ⸻ Jennie walked ahead of everyone. Her sleek dark bob moved with every step, and her black jacket, silver accessories, baggy jeans, and boots made her look like she belonged on a magazine cover instead of a college campus. ⸻ Lisa looked at her. “Okay, I have to admit.” Jennie looked back. “What?” “Your entrance was dramatic.” “I walked.” “You walked like the hallway belonged to you.” Jennie shrugged. “Maybe it did.” ⸻ Jisoo laughed. Her long blonde hair with lavender-pink ends moved as she walked. “She hasn’t changed.” Rosé smiled. Her black hair fell over her shoulders. “She just got more confident.” ⸻ Behind them… Felix was quiet. Very quiet. ⸻ Han noticed immediately. His black hair with blue tips fell over his forehead as he looked at Felix. “You’re thinking.” Felix looked at him. “No I’m not.” “You are.” “No.” “You have your thinking face.” “I have a face.” “Exactly.” ⸻ Hyunjin walked beside them, his red-tipped hair catching the sunlight. “He is thinking about Jennie.” Felix stopped. “What?” Everyone looked at him. ⸻ Felix sighed. “She just surprised me, okay?” Han smiled. “Because she looks different?” “Yes.” “Because she’s more confident?” “Maybe.” “Because she roasted someone in less than five minutes?” Felix paused. “…Also yes.” ⸻ Hyunjin nodded. “An iconic return.” ⸻ Meanwhile… Jennie had already found her classroom. ⸻ She sat down and opened her laptop. New college. New classes. New challenges. ⸻ Then the professor walked in. “Before we begin, I have an announcement.” Everyone looked up. ⸻ “This semester, we will have a major creative competition.” ⸻ Jennie’s eyes immediately lit up. ⸻ “The winning team will perform at the biggest college showcase of the year.” ⸻ Lisa looked at Jennie. “Oh no.” Jennie smiled. “What?” “Your DJ face.” “What about it?” “It means you are about to become terrifying.” ⸻ The professor continued. “You will work in teams.” ⸻ Jennie froze. No. Please no. ⸻ The teams appeared on the screen. ⸻ Team One: Jennie, Felix, Lisa, Han, Rosé, Jisoo, Hyunjin. ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Jennie stared. Felix stared. Everyone stared. ⸻ Han immediately laughed. “THE SCHOOL IS STILL TRYING TO FORCE YOU TWO TOGETHER.” ⸻ Jennie pointed at him. “Stop talking.” “I can’t.” “Why?” “Because it’s funny.” ⸻ Felix looked at Jennie. “So…” “So.” “Looks like we’re working together again.” ⸻ Jennie sighed. “Of course.” ⸻ Felix smiled. “You missed me.” “No.” “You answered too fast.” “Because the answer was obvious.” ⸻ The whole group laughed. ⸻ After class, they met in the library. ⸻ The assignment was simple: Create something that represents who they were. ⸻ Everyone had ideas. Lisa wanted fashion. Rosé wanted music. Jisoo wanted visuals. Han wanted something “legendary.” Nobody knew what that meant. ⸻ Hyunjin wrote down: “An artistic experience.” Everyone stared. ⸻ Jennie looked at Felix. “Translate.” Felix laughed. “He means something dramatic.” Hyunjin nodded. “Exactly.” ⸻ Then everyone looked at Jennie. “What about you?” ⸻ Jennie thought. A year ago… She would have said she didn’t care. But now? She smiled. ⸻ “Music.” ⸻ Felix looked at her. “You already knew that.” “Yeah.” “Then why did you think so long?” Jennie shrugged. “Because this time…” She looked around at everyone. “I don’t want it to just be my thing.” ⸻ Everyone smiled. ⸻ Felix noticed. The old Jennie was still there. The roast queen. The DJ. The girl who never backed down. But now… She let people in. ⸻ Han suddenly ruined the moment. “So basically we’re making a masterpiece.” Jennie looked at him. “Don’t say masterpiece.” “Why?” “Because now you think you’re an artist.” “I am.” “You are a problem.” ⸻ Everyone laughed. ⸻ And as they started planning their first college project… Nobody noticed the competition poster hanging outside the room. ⸻ COLLEGE SHOWCASE CHALLENGE WINNER GETS A CHANCE TO PERFORM ON THE MAIN STAGE. ⸻ Jennie looked at it. A spark appeared in her eyes. ⸻ The DJ queen was back. And this time… She had a whole team behind her.
Book 2 – Chapter 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.
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 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 37 – The Countdown to Graduation The announcement appeared on every hallway screen. “Graduation Ceremony: Two Weeks Away.” ⸻ The entire school changed overnight. Suddenly… Everyone was talking about memories. Photos. Last performances. Future plans. ⸻ Jennie stood in the hallway staring at the announcement. Her blonde hair was styled in loose waves, and she wore a black oversized jacket, a white top, baggy jeans, and her favorite boots. For once… She wasn’t making a joke. ⸻ Felix noticed. His black hair was slightly messy, and he wore his varsity jacket, black shirt, athletic pants, and sneakers. “You okay?” Jennie looked at him. “Yeah.” A pause. “Just weird.” “What?” “Everything.” ⸻ Felix looked at the graduation poster. “I know.” “It feels like yesterday we couldn’t stand each other.” Jennie smirked. “You couldn’t stand me.” Felix laughed. “You roasted me every five seconds.” “You deserved it.” ⸻ Han suddenly appeared. His messy brown hair was covered by a graduation cap he wasn’t supposed to be wearing yet. “I heard emotional conversations.” Everyone groaned. ⸻ Lisa walked over laughing. Her ash-blonde hair with bangs was tied back, and she wore a casual black jacket with cargo pants. “Why are you wearing that?” Han looked proud. “I’m preparing.” “For what?” “My future as the best graduate.” “We haven’t graduated yet.” “Details.” ⸻ Rosé smiled. Her lavender hair fell over her shoulders, and she wore a soft sweater and jeans. “He’s been practicing his graduation speech.” Jisoo looked concerned. Her red hair was tied neatly, and she wore a cream sweater with black pants. “How long is it?” Han looked away. “…Forty minutes.” Everyone: “No.” ⸻ Hyunjin arrived dramatically. His blond hair was perfectly styled, and he wore a black sweater with layered necklaces. “Graduation is the end of one era…” Everyone stared. “And the beginning of another.” Han nodded. “Exactly.” Jennie whispered to Felix: “They are both dramatic.” Felix whispered back: “Extremely.” ⸻ Later that day… The group practiced for the ceremony. ⸻ Jennie was helping organize the music. Felix was helping with the sports awards. Han was somehow distracting everyone. ⸻ “Han.” “What?” “Why are you spinning in the graduation chair?” “Testing durability.” “Why?” “In case I become too successful.” ⸻ Jennie shook her head. “You are impossible.” Han smiled. “Thank you.” ⸻ After practice… Jennie and Felix stayed behind. The empty auditorium was quiet. Rows of chairs filled the room. The stage lights were on. ⸻ Felix looked around. “Can’t believe we’re almost done.” Jennie nodded. “Yeah.” ⸻ He smiled. “You know…” “What?” “If we met on the first day again…” “I would still roast you.” “I know.” “And you would still annoy me.” “I know.” ⸻ A small smile appeared on Jennie’s face. “But…” Felix looked at her. “But?” She looked away. “…I’m glad we met.” ⸻ Felix smiled. “Me too.” ⸻ A moment passed. Then… Jennie pointed at his outfit. “Your graduation suit better not look weird.” Felix blinked. “That was the moment you chose to roast me?” “Of course.” He laughed. “Never change.” ⸻ The auditorium lights turned off. They walked out together. Graduation was coming. A new chapter was beginning. But one thing was guaranteed… Even with diplomas… New futures… And everything changing… Jennie and Felix would still find a way to annoy each other.
Chapter 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.
Chapter 33 – The Night of Maximum Chaos The night was supposed to be relaxing. That was the first mistake. Because whenever Jennie, Jisoo, and Han were together… Nothing was relaxing. ⸻ The group had gone to a late-night celebration lounge after the DJ competition. The music was loud. The lights were everywhere. Everyone was laughing. And somehow… Han had become the unofficial leader of chaos. ⸻ Jennie sat at the table with a giant colorful mocktail in her hand. Her blonde hair was slightly messy from dancing, and she wore her black jacket, silver accessories, and her favorite boots. Jisoo’s red hair was still styled perfectly, but after hours of dancing, a few strands had fallen loose. Han’s brown hair looked like he had fought a wind machine and lost. ⸻ Han stood on his chair. “I have an announcement!” Everyone immediately groaned. “No.” “Han, sit down.” “Please don’t.” ⸻ Han ignored them. “Tonight…” He pointed dramatically. “Is the greatest night of our lives.” Felix looked at Lisa. “How long has he been like this?” Lisa laughed. “Since five minutes after we arrived.” ⸻ Rosé shook her head. Her lavender hair fell over her shoulders as she laughed. “Han thinks every moment is a movie scene.” Hyunjin nodded seriously. “To be fair…” Everyone looked at him. “He does make life more dramatic.” ⸻ Meanwhile… Jennie was having way too much fun. Which was unusual. Because Jennie normally acted like she was above everything. But tonight? She was laughing. Actually laughing. ⸻ Felix noticed. And smiled. Lisa immediately caught it. “You are staring.” Felix looked away. “I am not.” “You are.” “I was just looking.” “Exactly.” ⸻ Later… The chaos reached a new level. ⸻ Jisoo grabbed Han’s arm. “We need to have a serious conversation.” Han looked worried. “About what?” “About why you think you can dance.” Everyone went silent. Han looked offended. “I can dance.” “You dance like your Wi-Fi is disconnecting.” The entire table exploded. ⸻ Jennie laughed so hard she nearly dropped her drink. Felix looked shocked. “Did Jisoo just roast Han?” Lisa nodded. “She’s been saving that one.” ⸻ When it was finally time to leave… Everyone agreed. Jisoo, Han, and Jennie were officially too chaotic to be trusted alone. ⸻ The walk back to the dorm was hilarious. ⸻ Han walked beside Hyunjin. “Do you think ducks know they’re funny?” Hyunjin paused. “What?” “Ducks.” “Why?” “Because they walk like they’re late to a meeting.” Hyunjin stared. “…I hate that you’re making sense.” ⸻ Jisoo was walking with Rosé. “Rosé.” “Yes?” “I have discovered something.” “What?” “I am always right.” Rosé smiled. “You say that every day.” “Because I am consistent.” ⸻ Jennie walked between Felix and Lisa. She pointed at Felix. “You.” Felix looked at her. “Me?” “Yes.” “What?” “You are suspicious.” “Why?” “Because you are nice.” Felix laughed. “That’s suspicious?” “For you? Yes.” ⸻ Felix shook his head. “You are unbelievable.” Jennie nodded proudly. “I know.” ⸻ When they finally reached the dorm… Everyone collapsed onto the couches. ⸻ Lisa looked around. “Never again.” Han raised his hand. “Question.” “No.” “Can we do it again next week?” Everyone shouted: “NO!” ⸻ Felix helped Jennie get to her room. She walked carefully. “I can walk.” “I know.” “Then why are you helping?” “Because you almost walked into the wall.” Jennie looked at the wall. “It was in my way.” “The wall?” “Yes.” ⸻ Felix opened her door. “There.” Jennie stepped inside. Then turned around. “Felix.” “Yeah?” “I have something important to tell you.” He smiled. “What?” She pointed at him. “Your basketball skills are overrated.” Felix blinked. “That is what you needed to say?” “Yes.” He laughed. “Of course it is.” ⸻ She sat down on her bed. Then looked at him more seriously. “You know…” “What?” “You’re actually a good person.” Felix smiled. “That might be the nicest thing you’ve ever said.” “Don’t get emotional.” “I’m not.” “You look emotional.” “I don’t.” “Your face is doing the thing.” ⸻ Felix laughed. Then he noticed her DJ trophy sitting on the desk. He picked it up carefully and placed it somewhere safe. “You worked really hard for this.” Jennie looked at the trophy. “You remembered.” “Of course I remembered.” ⸻ For once… Jennie didn’t roast him. She just smiled. “Thanks.” Felix smiled back. “Anytime.” ⸻ He turned to leave. Then Jennie called: “Felix.” He looked back. “Yeah?” A pause. “Your hair still looks okay.” He laughed. “Okay?” “Don’t push it.” ⸻ Felix smiled. “Goodnight, Jennie.” “Goodnight, basketball boy.” ⸻ When he closed the door… Han appeared in the hallway. “Did you have a romantic moment?” Felix jumped. “How are you always there?” Han smiled. “Talent.” Felix sighed. “You are impossible.” Han nodded. “Thank you.” ⸻ And that was the thing about their group. They were chaotic. Loud. Embarrassing. Completely impossible. But somehow… They had become family. And Jennie and Felix? They were still roasting each other every chance they got. Just now… There was a little more smiling between the insults.

Just now… There was a little more smiling between the insults.
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.
