Just... just tell me the truth. Please. Did you do this?  I did not I promise I’d never do anything like that to someone I call a friend *Macy lets out a small, broken sound, pulling the pillow tighter against her chest. Her face is buried, so her voice is muffled.*  Then who did?  *Alba scoffs, a sharp, dismissive sound. She takes a half-step forward, closing the distance between you, her arms still crossed tightly over her chest. Her eyes are like chips of flint.*  Oh, spare us the 'friend' routine. That's a little hard to believe right now, don't you think? You were the only other person in this room. The only one. Macy trusted you, and you were sitting right there at her desk while she went to the bathroom. Are you saying the photos just magically uploaded themselves? No I’m not saying that but the reality is someone had to do it I know with all my heart I would never no I could never do a friend like like trust me *Alba's laugh is short and entirely without humor. She pushes off the wall she was leaning against, taking another deliberate step into your personal space. The air crackles with her anger.*  Trust you? Are you kidding me? Trust is what got her into this mess. Macy trusted you, and now her life is being torn apart online by a bunch of scumbags.  *She gestures sharply towards the bed where Macy is still curled up, trembling slightly.*  Look at her. Go on, look. That's what your 'friendship' did.  *Macy slowly lifts her head from the pillow. Her eyes, puffy and red, meet yours for a fleeting second before darting away. Her voice is barely a whisper, fragile and cracking.*  But Alba... they're right. Someone had to do it. If... if it wasn't you, then who else could it have been?  *Alba's gaze remains fixed on you, hard and unwavering.*  Don't bother answering her. You're just going to spin more lies. I've heard enough. You have one minute to get out of our room, or I'm calling Campus Security and telling them everything. Let's see how much they 'trust' you. Macy please give me a chance to get to the bottom of this blindly blaming me will now solve this but in the meantime i can place a block on all leaked photos and videos anything that has your name or face involved I can have blocked
That's actually a good call. If you don't want him to feel like a copy of Sung Jin-Woo, avoid the black-and-purple shadow aesthetic. Since your MC uses **slime**, make the slime the focus instead of shadows.

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

---

## Boss Slime King Prompt

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

### Negative Prompt

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

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

Chapter 20 – The Worst Kept Secret

The next morning…

Jennie had one mission.

Act normal.

That was it.

No smiling.

No looking at Felix.

No acting different.

Simple.

Except…

It was impossible.

⸻

Jennie walked into the dorm kitchen.

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

She grabbed a drink.

Everyone stared.

⸻

She stopped.

“What?”

Nobody answered.

Jennie looked around.

“Why is everyone looking at me?”

⸻

Han slowly put down his spoon.

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

“Interesting.”

Jennie narrowed her eyes.

“What does that mean?”

“Nothing.”

“Han.”

“Absolutely nothing.”

⸻

Lisa walked in.

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

She looked between Jennie and Felix.

Then smiled.

“Oh.”

Jennie immediately pointed.

“No.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“Your face did.”

⸻

Felix entered.

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

The second Jennie saw him…

She looked away.

The second Felix saw her…

He smiled.

⸻

Everyone noticed.

Immediately.

⸻

Rosé walked in laughing.

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

“Oh no.”

“What?”

“They’re doing the thing.”

Han nodded.

“The thing.”

Jennie looked confused.

“What thing?”

Jisoo smiled.

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

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

⸻

Jennie froze.

“We don’t.”

Felix answered at the same time.

“We don’t.”

Everyone stared.

⸻

Hyunjin entered dramatically.

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

“Perfect synchronization.”

Han sighed.

“Please stop making everything sound like a drama.”

⸻

At school…

It was even worse.

Because apparently…

The whole friend group had eyes.

⸻

In class, Jennie was trying to focus.

The teacher was talking.

The board was full of notes.

Everything was normal.

Until Felix passed her a note.

She opened it.

“You okay?”

Jennie looked over.

Felix smiled.

She wrote back.

“Why wouldn’t I be?”

A few seconds later, another note came back.

“Because you’re avoiding looking at me.”

Jennie stared.

Then wrote:

“Because you’re distracting.”

Felix smiled.

“Good distracting?”

Jennie paused.

Then wrote:

“Don’t push it.”

⸻

Han, sitting behind them, saw the notes.

He leaned toward Lisa.

“They’re literally flirting through homework.”

Lisa smiled.

“Should we tell them?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“This is too funny.”

⸻

After class, Felix caught up with Jennie.

“You know everyone knows something is different.”

Jennie sighed.

“They know everything.”

“Probably.”

“I hate that.”

Felix smiled.

“No you don’t.”

Jennie looked at him.

“You’re annoying.”

“But?”

She tried not to smile.

“But…”

She looked away.

“You’re less annoying now.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

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

“Don’t get used to it.”

“Too late.”

⸻

From across the hallway…

Han watched them.

“Do you think they’ll ever admit it?”

Lisa shook her head.

“No.”

Rosé smiled.

“But they don’t need to.”

Jisoo nodded.

“They already know.”

⸻

And that was the funniest part.

Jennie and Felix spent months fighting.

Roasting each other.

Trying to prove they were nothing alike.

But somehow…

The person who annoyed them the most…

Became the person they looked for first.
Book 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.
I really loved you, so much.

Suddenly, Quay felt a prick in his nose, gasped softly, and his voice trembled. The moment he lowered his head and then raised it again, he saw Ashley rushing across the ice rink toward them.

He's going to confess his love to Ariel.

That's what Quay thought, just like everyone else. And when he saw the bright smile on Ashley's face, a slight pang of bitterness crossed his heart. He tried to prepare himself mentally; soon, Ashley would confess his love to Ariel and ask her to come back to him. And maybe they'd even share a kiss.

Well, then, I'll congratulate him.

Quay said this to himself and waited.

Ashley glided on with incredible speed. But instead of stopping where his friends had gathered, he placed one hand on the barrier and jumped over it.

Huh?

Ashley's direction was a little odd. Ariel was on the other side, wasn't she? While Quee was still wondering, Ashley suddenly rushed over and was right beside him.

Suddenly, Ashley pulled Quee into a tight embrace.

What? Huh? What…?

Quee’s eyes widened in shock. But before he could process what was happening, Ashley released his arms and gently cupped Quee’s face in his hands.

Without giving Quee a moment to think, Ashley pressed his lips to Quee’s.

Quee wasn’t the only one frozen in shock; the entire crowd was stunned. Before everyone’s astonished eyes, Ashley deepened the kiss, then slowly pulled away.

Ashley’s face was flushed crimson. He looked directly into Quee’s eyes and said,

“I love you, Quee. Will you go out with me?”

Quee was so stunned he couldn’t move.

No one said a word.

But for Ashley, it didn’t matter.

The only thing he wanted to hear at that moment was Koi's answer.

The noise of the stands and the music still echoed around them, but it couldn't affect them in the slightest.

I want fan art of this scene from the novel Lick Me Up If You Can.

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.

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 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.
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.
Book 2 – Chapter 34: Operation Rose — Han’s Impossible Mission

The college dance was only hours away.

The outfits were ready.

The decorations were done.

The music was prepared.

⸻

But three boys had one huge problem.

⸻

They needed to ask three girls.

⸻

Operation One:

Han → Rosé

⸻

And Han was completely failing.

⸻

The Boys’ Emergency Meeting

⸻

The dorm room looked like a war room.

⸻

Han sat on the bed staring at his phone.

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

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

⸻

Felix looked at him.

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

⸻

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

⸻

Han looked up.

“I’m creating the perfect message.”

⸻

Hyunjin walked in.

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

⸻

“What have you written?”

⸻

Han showed them.

⸻

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

⸻

Silence.

⸻

Felix blinked.

⸻

“That’s it?”

⸻

Han looked offended.

“Yes.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“Honestly…”

⸻

Han smiled.

⸻

“See? Good.”

⸻

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

⸻

Han’s smile disappeared.

⸻

“What does that mean?”

⸻

“It means you.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

⸻

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

⸻

Han sighed.

⸻

“Helpful. Both of you are incredibly helpful.”

⸻

Operation Begins

⸻

Han walked into the practice room.

⸻

Rosé was there.

⸻

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

She was organizing music.

⸻

Han froze.

⸻

Immediately forgot his plan.

⸻

Rosé looked up.

⸻

“Han?”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

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

⸻

Han blinked.

⸻

“I was…”

⸻

Thinking.

⸻

Rosé smiled.

⸻

“That’s dangerous.”

⸻

Han laughed nervously.

⸻

“Very funny.”

⸻

He took a breath.

⸻

“Rosé, I wanted to ask—”

⸻

Suddenly…

A speaker behind him made a loud noise.

⸻

Han jumped.

⸻

Rosé stared.

⸻

“Are you okay?”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“You looked scared.”

⸻

“I was attacked by technology.”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

⸻

“Technology attacked you?”

⸻

“It was unexpected.”

⸻

The Actual Question

⸻

Han tried again.

⸻

“Rosé.”

⸻

She looked at him.

⸻

“Would you…”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

Han’s brain stopped.

⸻

“…help me choose a jacket?”

⸻

Silence.

⸻

Rosé blinked.

⸻

“A jacket?”

⸻

Han immediately regretted everything.

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“That was your big question?”

⸻

“No.”

⸻

“Good.”

⸻

Han covered his face.

⸻

“That was terrible.”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

⸻

“Very.”

⸻

He smiled.

⸻

Then finally…

⸻

“Would you go to the dance with me?”

⸻

Quiet.

⸻

Rosé looked surprised.

⸻

Then smiled.

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

Han froze.

⸻

“Wait.”

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“You said yes?”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“I didn’t expect that.”

⸻

“Why?”

⸻

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

⸻

Rosé laughed harder.

⸻

“You almost invited me to a fashion consultation.”

⸻

“Exactly.”

⸻

⸻

The Celebration

⸻

Han ran back to the dorm.

⸻

Felix looked up.

⸻

“Well?”

⸻

Han dramatically fell onto the couch.

⸻

“Mission complete.”

⸻

Hyunjin clapped slowly.

⸻

“Congratulations.”

⸻

Felix smiled.

⸻

“She said yes?”

⸻

Han nodded proudly.

⸻

Then immediately added:

⸻

“After I almost ruined everything.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

⸻

“That’s very Han.”

⸻

Han pointed.

⸻

“Now it’s your turn.”

⸻

Felix froze.

⸻

Because tomorrow…

⸻

Operation Two:

Felix → Jennie

⸻

And everyone knew…

⸻

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

The wait was over.

⸻

The college dance had arrived.

⸻

The campus that usually felt ordinary had completely transformed.

Golden lights covered the courtyard.

Music echoed through the hall.

Everyone was dressed up.

Everyone was excited.

⸻

And somewhere inside the dorm…

Four girls were getting ready.

⸻

The Girls’ Final Preparations

⸻

Jennie stood in front of the mirror.

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

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

⸻

Lisa looked at her.

⸻

“Okay.”

⸻

Jennie looked over.

“What?”

⸻

“You look like you own the entire dance.”

⸻

Jennie smirked.

⸻

“I don’t own it.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“Yet.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

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

⸻

Rosé adjusted her dress.

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

⸻

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

She wore a graceful dress with simple jewelry.

⸻

The four looked at each other.

⸻

For a second…

Nobody spoke.

⸻

Then Lisa smiled.

⸻

“We actually made it.”

⸻

Jisoo nodded.

⸻

“Together.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

⸻

“Like always.”

⸻

Jennie looked away.

⸻

“Okay, don’t make this emotional.”

⸻

Lisa laughed.

⸻

“You’re the emotional one.”

⸻

“No.”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“No.”

⸻

“Jennie.”

⸻

“Lisa.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

The Boys Arrive

⸻

Outside the dorm…

Three boys waited.

⸻

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

His blonde hair was styled perfectly.

⸻

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

⸻

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

⸻

Han looked around.

⸻

“I’m nervous.”

⸻

Felix nodded.

⸻

“Same.”

⸻

Hyunjin crossed his arms.

⸻

“I am calm.”

⸻

Felix and Han looked at him.

⸻

“You practiced your breathing for thirty minutes.”

⸻

Hyunjin paused.

⸻

“That was preparation.”

⸻

“That was panic.”

⸻

⸻

The Meeting

⸻

The girls walked out.

⸻

The boys immediately stopped talking.

⸻

Felix saw Jennie.

⸻

For once…

He had no comeback.

⸻

Jennie noticed.

⸻

“What?”

⸻

Felix blinked.

⸻

“Nothing.”

⸻

“You froze.”

⸻

“I did not.”

⸻

“You did.”

⸻

Han whispered:

“He’s gone.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“Completely.”

⸻

Jennie looked at Felix.

⸻

“You okay?”

⸻

He smiled.

⸻

“Yeah.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“You look amazing.”

⸻

Jennie looked away.

⸻

“Careful.”

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“That was almost too sweet.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

⸻

“Almost?”

⸻

“Almost.”

⸻

⸻

Entering the Dance

⸻

The group walked into the ballroom together.

⸻

Students immediately noticed.

⸻

Not because they were trying to get attention.

⸻

Because they had always been impossible to ignore.

⸻

The music started.

⸻

The lights moved.

⸻

And then…

The DJ booth turned on.

⸻

Everyone looked toward Jennie.

⸻

She put on her headphones.

⸻

The crowd cheered.

⸻

Felix smiled.

⸻

Han whispered:

“She’s in her element.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“Definitely.”

⸻

Jennie looked over the crowd.

⸻

For a moment…

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

⸻

She was just Jennie.

⸻

Happy.

⸻

Confident.

⸻

With her friends beside her.

⸻

The first beat dropped.

⸻

And the dance officially began.

⸻

But everyone knew…

The night had only started.

⸻

Because there were still:

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

⸻

And the biggest question:

⸻

Who was Lisa bringing to the dance?

Rosé smiled.

⸻

“Like always.”

⸻

Jennie looked away.

⸻

“Okay, don’t make this emotional.”

⸻

Lisa laughed.

⸻

“You’re the emotional one.”

⸻

“No.”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“No.”

⸻

“Jennie.”

⸻

“Lisa.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

The Boys Arrive

⸻

Outside the dorm…

Three boys waited.

⸻

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

His blonde hair was styled perfectly.

⸻

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

⸻

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

⸻

Han looked around.

⸻

“I’m nervous.”

⸻

Felix nodded.

⸻

“Same.”

⸻

Hyunjin crossed his arms.

⸻

“I am calm.”

⸻

Felix and Han looked at him.

⸻

“You practiced your breathing for thirty minutes.”

⸻

Hyunjin paused.

⸻

“That was preparation.”

⸻

“That was panic.”

⸻

⸻

The Meeting

⸻

The girls walked out.

⸻

The boys immediately stopped talking.

⸻

Felix saw Jennie.

⸻

For once…

He had no comeback.

⸻

Jennie noticed.

⸻

“What?”

⸻

Felix blinked.

⸻

“Nothing.”

⸻

“You froze.”

⸻

“I did not.”

⸻

“You did.”

⸻

Han whispered:

“He’s gone.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“Completely.”

⸻

Jennie looked at Felix.

⸻

“You okay?”

⸻

He smiled.

⸻

“Yeah.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“You look amazing.”

⸻

Jennie looked away.

⸻

“Careful.”

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“That was almost too sweet.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

⸻

“Almost?”

⸻

“Almost.”

⸻

⸻

Entering the Dance

⸻

The group walked into the ballroom together.

⸻

Students immediately noticed.

⸻

Not because they were trying to get attention.

⸻

Because they had always been impossible to ignore.

⸻

The music started.

⸻

The lights moved.

⸻

And then…

The DJ booth turned on.

⸻

Everyone looked toward Jennie.

⸻

She put on her headphones.

⸻

The crowd cheered.

⸻

Felix smiled.

⸻

Han whispered:

“She’s in her element.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“Definitely.”

⸻

Jennie looked over the crowd.

⸻

For a moment…

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

⸻

She was just Jennie.

⸻

Happy.

⸻

Confident.

⸻

With her friends beside her.

⸻

The first beat dropped.

⸻

And the dance officially began.

⸻

But everyone knew…

The night had only started.

⸻

Because there were still:

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

⸻

And the biggest question:

⸻

Who was Lisa bringing to the dance?
Chapter 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.
PANEL 1
Sahne: Şiddetli bir yağmur yağıyor. Lunair kafasında büyük kulaklığıyla, ıslak ve gri sokakta tek başına yürüyor. Saçları hafifçe yüzünün önüne düşmüş; çekingen, yorgun ve dünyadan soyutlanmış bir şekilde bakıyor.
Diyalog (İç Ses - Lunair): "Yine aynı kasvetli, gri günlerden biri..."
PANEL 2
Sahne: Lunair kendi odasının kapısını açıyor. Aşırı yorgun ve bıkkın bir ifadeyle okul çantasını umursamazca odanın bir köşesine fırlatıyor.
PANEL 3
Sahne: Lunair kendini doğrudan yatağa bırakmış, gözleri kapanıyor. Kulaklığı hala boynunda asılı. Hızlıca derin bir uykuya dalıyor.
PANEL 4
Sahne (Büyük Kare): Lunair morumsu, yumuşak çimenlerin üzerinde gözlerini açıyor. Gökyüzü uçuk mor bir alacakaranlık renginde ve havada parıltılı mana zerreleri süzülüyor. Lunair doğruluyor; yüzünde bir huzursuzluk var ama içten içe buranın havasıyla gelen tuhaf bir ferahlık ve rahatlama hissediyor.
Diyalog (Lunair): "Neredeyim ben?... Yağmur nereye gitti? Gökyüzü neden mor?"
PANEL 5
Sahne: Lunair'in tam önünde, havada süzülen gri bir ışık huzmesi aniden parıldayarak büyüyor. Işığın etrafında zarif, parıldayan hilal (ay 🌙) sembolleri ve kadim büyü rünleri dönmeye başlıyor.
Diyalog (Ay Ruhu): "Sonunda uyandın, yabancı... Kulaklarında ölü bir nesne taşıyan çocuk."
PANEL 6
Sahne: Ruh, Lunair'e bu dünyanın kurallarından kısaca bahseder ve onun içindeki gizli potansiyeli test etmek için elini uzatmasını söyler. Lunair çekingen bir şekilde elini ışığa uzatır. Eli ile ruh arasında parıldayan gri-mor enerji bağları oluşur; "Ruh Sözleşmesi" tamamlanır.
Diyalog (Lunair): "Bir... ruh sözleşmesi mi? Benimle mi?"
PANEL 7
Sahne: Tam o sırada, koruyucu bariyerin dışında oldukları için çalılıkların arasından bir hırıltı yükselir. Gölgelerin içinden estetik, parıldayan mor kristallerden ve karanlıktan oluşmuş, iğrenç veya kanlı görünmeyen mistik bir kurt/yaratık fırlar.
PANEL 8
Sahne: Lunair korkuyla geriler ama Ay Ruhu ona sakin olmasını fısıldar ve söylemesi gereken ilk amatör büyü sözlerini öğretir. Lunair'in elinin etrafında gri bir ay ışığı büyü çemberi dönmeye başlar.
Diyalog (Ay Ruhu): "Korkma. Sözleşmenin gücüne güven ve kelimeleri serbest bırak!"
PANEL 9
Sahne: Lunair büyüyü canavara doğru fırlatır! Büyük ve parıltılı bir patlama olur. Büyü yaratığa çarptığı anda, yaratık etrafa yayılan büyüleyici mor kristal tozlarına dönüşerek yok olur.
PANEL 10
Sahne: Lunair kazandığını görünce önce şok olur. Ardından yüzünde kocaman, çocuksu ve heyecanlı bir gülümseme belirir. Gerçek dünyadaki o sıkıcı, monoton hayatından sonra ilk defa bu kadar eğlendiğini ve yaşadığını hissetmektedir. Yumruğunu havaya kaldırır.
Diyalog (Lunair): "Başardım... Gerçekten büyü yaptım! Bu... bu inanılmaz eğlenceli!"
PANEL 11
Sahne (Geniş Açı): Lunair sakinleşip uzağa baktığında, ufukta gökyüzüne doğru yükselen, etrafı devasa kristal bariyerlerle çevrili, kuleleri ve büyüleyici mimarisi olan kaleye benzer dev bir şehir (krallık) görür.
PANEL 12
Sahne (Kapanış): Lunair, kulaklığı hala boynunda asılı bir şekilde, arkasında süzülen Ay Ruhu ile birlikte yüzünde meraklı ve kararlı bir gülümsemeyle o büyük kaleye doğru patika yoldan yürümeye başlar.
The house woke up slowly.

No alarms. No staff. No schedule reminders buzzing in the background.

Just sunlight spilling across wooden floors like it had nowhere else to be.

⸻

BLACKPINK had agreed on something rare the night before:

A weekend with nothing planned.

Not rehearsals. Not meetings. Not appearances.

Just… time.

⸻

Jisoo was already awake, naturally.

Her dark wavy hair was loosely tied back, a soft cream sweater resting over relaxed lounge pants. She stood in the kitchen quietly, making tea with the calm precision of someone who didn’t need noise to feel awake.

The house always felt “started” when Jisoo was up first.

⸻

Jennie came in later, hair slightly messy, oversized shirt hanging off one shoulder, still half in sleep mode.

She looked at the kettle.

“…Is it too early to be alive?”

⸻

Jisoo didn’t turn.

“Yes.”

⸻

Jennie nodded.

“Good. We agree.”

⸻

⸻

Rosé arrived quietly after, blonde hair tied loosely, soft cardigan wrapped around her like comfort itself.

She paused in the doorway.

“It smells like peace,” she said.

⸻

Jennie pointed at the kettle.

“That’s just tea.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

“It’s still peace.”

⸻

⸻

Then—

fast footsteps.

⸻

Lisa entered the kitchen from the hallway, brown hair tied in a loose bun, hoodie slightly oversized, sweatpants soft and unstyled.

No stage version of her.

No work version.

Just morning Lisa.

⸻

Behind her—

Noah (now a 5-year-old boy) ran in first, socks sliding slightly on the floor.

“I DECLARE THIS WEEKEND OFFICIAL FUN TIME,” he announced loudly.

⸻

Ari followed more carefully, pastel hoodie slightly oversized, hair neatly tied but already loosening.

“That’s not how weekends work,” she said calmly.

⸻

Noah pointed at her.

“It is if I say it loudly enough.”

⸻

Lisa sighed as she reached for a cup.

“That’s also not how reality works.”

⸻

Noah considered this.

“…Reality is negotiable.”

⸻

Jennie looked at Lisa.

“He’s becoming a problem.”

⸻

Lisa nodded.

“He’s been one.”

⸻

Noah smiled proudly.

“I am consistent.”

⸻

⸻

The living room filled slowly.

Blankets appeared.

Coffee cups moved around.

People migrated like the house was pulling them into comfort.

⸻

Jisoo sat first, cross-legged on the couch, posture relaxed, watching everything like she was already enjoying the quiet unfolding.

Jennie lay back fully on the sofa, arms spread.

“I refuse to move for at least six hours.”

⸻

Rosé curled into the armchair near the window, blonde hair glowing in morning light.

“I might read something,” she said softly.

⸻

Lisa sat on the floor, leaning against the couch, brown hair falling slightly over her face as she sipped her drink.

Ari sat beside her immediately.

Noah flopped down dramatically between Jennie and Lisa.

⸻

Silence settled.

Not awkward.

Not empty.

Just shared.

⸻

Noah broke it first.

“Do famous people also do nothing?”

⸻

Jennie lifted one hand.

“We are doing it right now.”

⸻

Noah looked around.

“…We are very good at it.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

“It takes practice.”

⸻

Jisoo added gently.

“It takes permission.”

⸻

Lisa leaned her head back slightly.

“…It takes exhaustion.”

⸻

That made Jennie laugh.

⸻

Ari leaned into Lisa.

“This is my favorite kind of day.”

⸻

Lisa looked down at her.

“Why?”

⸻

Ari shrugged.

“Nothing is trying to win.”

⸻

Silence again.

But softer this time.

⸻

Noah rolled onto his side.

“I think the house likes us today.”

⸻

Rosé nodded gently.

“It always does.”

⸻

Jisoo looked around.

“It just waits for us to stop rushing.”

⸻

Jennie closed her eyes.

“…Then we should stop more often.”

⸻

Lisa exhaled quietly.

For once—

there was nothing pulling her away from the moment.

⸻

Just the four of them.

A child’s voice. A quiet laugh. A blonde head by the window. A steady presence in the kitchen. And a house that didn’t ask for anything in return.

⸻

Just a weekend.

Not scheduled.

Not earned.

⸻

Just lived.
⸻
CHAPTER: “SMALL TABLE, BIG SILENCE (JUST THEM)”
⸻

The rest of the restaurant faded into background noise.

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

But at this corner table—

the world had narrowed.

⸻

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

And across from them—

I.N.

⸻

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

Her expression had softened completely.

Not performer.

Not public figure.

Just mom who finally stopped moving.

⸻

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

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

⸻

Lisa gently nudged Ari’s plate closer.

“Eat that first.”

⸻

Ari frowned.

“But I want that one.”

⸻

Lisa shook her head.

“That one is sugar pretending to be happiness.”

⸻

Noah immediately looked up.

“I like sugar happiness.”

⸻

Lisa pointed at him without looking.

“You already had sugar happiness this morning.”

⸻

Noah paused.

“…True.”

⸻

Across the table, I.N watched quietly.

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

He didn’t interrupt.

He just observed the rhythm of them.

⸻

Ari suddenly turned toward him.

“Are you quiet because you’re shy?”

⸻

I.N blinked.

“…A little.”

⸻

Noah leaned forward.

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

⸻

Lisa immediately looked at Noah.

“That was unnecessary.”

⸻

I.N smiled faintly.

“It’s… not inaccurate.”

⸻

Lisa sighed deeply.

“Traitor table.”

⸻

Ari giggled into her drink.

⸻

The food arrived in small plates, warm steam rising.

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

⸻

Noah stared.

“That’s unfair.”

⸻

Lisa nodded.

“Yes.”

⸻

Ari copied her.

“You’re just checking.”

⸻

Lisa nodded again.

“Yes.”

⸻

Noah leaned back.

“This system is corrupt.”

⸻

Lisa pointed at him again.

“You’re still eating.”

⸻

That shut him up instantly.

⸻

I.N finally spoke softly.

“You do this often?”

⸻

Lisa didn’t look up.

“Daily survival protocol.”

⸻

Ari tugged her sleeve.

“Mom, you’re funny today.”

⸻

Lisa paused for a fraction of a second.

Then softened.

“I always am.”

⸻

Noah raised an eyebrow.

“No you’re not.”

⸻

Lisa leaned toward him slightly.

“I am when I’m not tired.”

⸻

I.N’s gaze softened a little.

“So… today is a good day.”

⸻

Lisa nodded once.

“Today is a finished day.”

⸻

Ari leaned against her again.

“I like finished days.”

⸻

Lisa gently rested her hand on Ari’s head.

“Me too.”

⸻

A quiet moment followed.

Not empty.

Just full in a different way.

⸻

Noah finally asked:

“Are you happy now?”

⸻

Lisa didn’t answer immediately.

She looked at both kids.

Then at the table.

Then across at I.N.

⸻

Her voice came softer than before.

“…Yes.”

⸻

Noah nodded like that was the only acceptable answer.

⸻

Ari smiled.

“Good.”

⸻

I.N exhaled quietly, almost smiling.

“That’s important.”

⸻

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

Just her.

⸻

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

“Just days that end like this.”

⸻

Noah tilted his head.

“With food?”

⸻

Lisa nodded.

“With food.”

⸻

Ari added:

“And us?”

⸻

Lisa didn’t hesitate.

“Always you.”

⸻

A small silence settled.

Warm. Stable. Real.

⸻

And for the first time all day—

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

⸻

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

sharing a moment that didn’t need an audience to matter.
CHAPTER: “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.
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.
Create a stylized comic-book sequence set inside a crowded goth nightclub in New York City at night, with neon blue, violet, and magenta lighting, dark alternative fashion, a lively dance floor, and expressive cinematic framing. The art should feel like a unique Catman comic style: dynamic, drawn, expressive, slightly manga-influenced, modern superhero/indie comic aesthetic, not photorealistic.

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.”

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…
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 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 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.
Chapter 13 – The Class Where Everyone Noticed

Monday morning.

School.

The place where everyone pretended they were focused…

But really?

Everyone was watching everyone else.

Especially Jennie and Felix.

⸻

Jennie walked into class.

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

She sat down at her desk.

Then immediately noticed something.

Felix was sitting two seats away.

⸻

Felix looked up.

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

They stared at each other.

One second.

Two seconds.

Then both looked away.

⸻

Han noticed immediately.

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

He leaned toward Lisa.

“Something is wrong.”

Lisa smiled.

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

“Something is definitely wrong.”

⸻

Rosé sat behind them.

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

“They’re acting normal.”

Jisoo looked up.

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

“Which means they’re not normal.”

⸻

The teacher walked in.

“Good morning, class.”

Everyone sat down.

“Today we will be doing partner work.”

The entire class immediately became interested.

Because everyone knew…

Partner work meant chaos.

⸻

The teacher looked at the list.

“Jennie and Felix.”

Silence.

The entire room turned.

Jennie slowly looked at Felix.

Felix slowly looked at Jennie.

“No.”

“Agreed.”

The teacher looked confused.

“You haven’t even started.”

⸻

Han whispered.

“This is going to be amazing.”

Lisa smiled.

“Or a disaster.”

“Both.”

⸻

They moved their desks together.

Felix looked at the assignment.

“Okay. Let’s just finish this.”

Jennie nodded.

“Finally, something we agree on.”

Felix smiled.

“Don’t get emotional.”

Jennie looked at him.

“You’re still annoying.”

“There she is.”

⸻

They started working.

For five minutes…

Everything was peaceful.

Too peaceful.

Then Felix wrote an answer.

Jennie looked at it.

“That is wrong.”

Felix looked offended.

“No, it’s not.”

“It is.”

“How do you know?”

“Because I read.”

The whole group gasped.

Han covered his mouth.

“She attacked his intelligence.”

⸻

Felix smiled.

“Okay, DJ girl.”

Jennie looked up.

“What?”

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

Jennie leaned closer.

“Better than you solving anything with a basketball.”

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Even Felix laughed.

Which surprised Jennie.

Usually he would fight back immediately.

Instead…

He just smiled.

⸻

The teacher walked by.

“Are you two arguing or working?”

Jennie and Felix answered together.

“Working.”

The teacher looked at their paper.

Then looked at them.

“Interesting way of working.”

⸻

During break, everyone surrounded them.

Han pointed.

“You two are different.”

Jennie frowned.

“How?”

“You actually enjoy arguing.”

Felix shrugged.

“We always argued.”

“Yes,” Lisa said.

“But now you smile while doing it.”

Jennie immediately looked away.

“No, I don’t.”

Felix smiled.

“Yes, you do.”

She turned.

“You are not helping.”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

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

Jisoo nodded.

“Everyone notices.”

Hyunjin dramatically placed a hand over his heart.

“The enemies-to-friends transformation…”

Han sighed.

“It’s literally just homework.”

⸻

The bell rang.

Everyone returned to their seats.

Jennie packed her bag.

Felix looked over.

“Hey.”

“What?”

“Good job today.”

Jennie raised an eyebrow.

“Was that another compliment?”

“Maybe.”

She smiled slightly.

“You’re getting weird.”

Felix laughed.

“And you’re getting nicer.”

Jennie pointed at him.

“Don’t ruin it.”

⸻

And as they walked out of class…

Everyone knew one thing.

Jennie and Felix were still the same.

Still competitive.

Still annoying.

Still roasting each other.

But now…

There was something else there.

Something neither of them wanted to admit yet.

Chapter 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.
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
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.

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.
Business Trip — Master Story Prompt

Create a cinematic anime/manhwa romantic-comedy thriller series titled “Business Trip: Secrets, Romance & Dangerous Attraction.”

Genre: Romance • Harem • Comedy • Ecchi-inspired • Thriller • Mystery • Workplace Drama

The story follows Yash, an employee traveling on an important business trip with his CEO Maya and three new employees: Riya, Ananya, and Tara. All four women have developed different feelings toward Yash, but none openly admits it. Yash remains mostly unaware of the growing romantic rivalry.

Main Characters & Continuity

Maya — CEO/Boss: Adult woman, long flowing black hair, glasses, elegant and commanding presence, intelligent, confident, playful, composed, subtly protective of Yash.

Riya — New Employee: Adult woman, long straight deep-red hair, confident and glamorous, bold, playful, self-assured.

Ananya — New Employee: Adult woman, short brown hair, glasses, gentle and intelligent, reserved but increasingly confident and playful around Yash.

Tara — New Employee: Adult woman, long pastel-pink high ponytail with braided details, cheerful, playful, flirty, energetic and loyal.

Yash — Employee: Adult man, sincere, somewhat easily embarrassed, professional, kind, and unaware that the four women are competing for his attention.


Story Direction

After their shopping trip for the business journey, the group travels to a luxurious city for an important corporate meeting. The trip initially feels like an ordinary business assignment, but romantic tension quickly develops.

Use comedy, romantic misunderstandings, jealousy, playful teasing, awkward encounters, emotional moments, and mystery rather than explicit sexual content.

At the hotel, strange events begin occurring:

Maya receives an anonymous message connected to a confidential business deal from three years earlier.

Their hotel reservation has mysteriously been changed.

Someone appears to be watching the group.

A room originally assigned to Maya is broken into.

An unknown guest seems connected to Maya's past.

Ananya begins noticing small clues everyone else overlooks.

Riya becomes suspicious of the mysterious woman talking to Yash.

Tara accidentally discovers an unfamiliar hotel keycard.

Maya clearly knows more about the situation than she initially reveals.


Romantic Dynamic

Each woman expresses affection differently:

Riya: confidently teases Yash and enjoys making him nervous.
Ananya: quietly remembers his compliments and gradually becomes more confident.
Tara: constantly jokes with him and creates comedic situations.
Maya: remains composed as his boss but occasionally reveals subtle jealousy and affection.

Keep the romantic rivalry playful rather than hostile. The women should still cooperate when the mystery becomes serious.

Visual Style

Create every scene as a polished cinematic manhwa/webtoon panel with:

detailed anime-style characters

expressive faces

consistent character appearances

elegant environments

cinematic lighting

varied camera angles

different poses in each panel

strong background details

romantic atmosphere

comedy expressions during awkward moments

suspenseful lighting during mystery scenes

minimal dialogue so the visuals carry the story


Important continuity: Maya remains the CEO/boss, while Riya, Ananya, and Tara are all new employees. Keep their established hairstyles, facial features, proportions, and personalities consistent throughout the entire story.

Opening Scene

“The Business Trip Begins.”

Early morning outside the company headquarters. A luxury company vehicle waits outside. Maya arrives first with her luggage and business documents. Yash follows with his suitcase. Riya arrives confidently, Ananya quietly checks her travel documents, and Tara rushes toward them with her luggage.

Everyone appears excited about the trip.

Maya checks her watch and calmly says:

“Everyone's here. Let's go.”

The group begins their journey.

None of them realize that by the time they return, their relationships—and the secret surrounding Maya's company—will have changed completely.
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 15 – The School Festival Disaster

The rumor was supposed to disappear.

That was the plan.

Unfortunately…

The school had other plans.

⸻

The next morning, the hallway was covered with posters.

ANNUAL SCHOOL FESTIVAL – THIS FRIDAY

Everyone was excited.

Everyone except Jennie.

⸻

Jennie walked through the hallway with her usual cool attitude.

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

She looked at the festival posters.

“No.”

⸻

Lisa looked confused.

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

“No what?”

“No festival.”

Lisa blinked.

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

“Exactly.”

“So?”

“So everyone will be annoying.”

⸻

Han walked over.

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

“Correction.”

Everyone looked at him.

“Everyone will be annoying except me.”

Jennie stared.

“Especially you.”

Han looked offended.

“Wow.”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

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

“You know you’ll have fun.”

“No.”

“You always say no.”

“And I’m always right.”

⸻

Jisoo smiled.

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

“You’re going to participate.”

Jennie looked shocked.

“Why does everyone think that?”

“Because we know you.”

⸻

Then Felix walked in.

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

He looked at the poster.

“Festival?”

Jennie immediately pointed.

“No.”

Felix smiled.

“You didn’t even let me speak.”

“I know what you’re going to say.”

“What?”

“You’re going to say basketball.”

Felix paused.

“…I was.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Later that day, the teacher announced the festival assignments.

“Every group will prepare an activity.”

The class became excited.

Then the teacher read:

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

Silence.

⸻

Jennie:

“No.”

Felix:

“Wait, what?”

⸻

Han immediately started laughing.

“Oh, this is perfect.”

Lisa smiled.

“The universe is forcing them.”

⸻

Felix looked at Jennie.

“So…”

“No.”

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

“I know.”

“You’re impossible.”

“And you’re too confident.”

⸻

The problem was…

They were actually a great team.

Felix handled the crowd.

Jennie handled the music.

Together…

They made the entire performance idea better than anyone expected.

⸻

After school, they stayed behind to practice.

The gym was empty.

Jennie connected her DJ equipment.

Felix practiced his part.

For once…

They weren’t fighting.

⸻

Felix looked over.

“You know…”

“What?”

“You’re really good at this.”

Jennie looked suspicious.

“Are you complimenting me?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Because it’s true.”

She looked away.

“That’s weird.”

“You don’t like compliments?”

“I don’t know what to do with them.”

Felix laughed.

“That explains a lot.”

⸻

Jennie smiled.

Then immediately pointed at him.

“Don’t get comfortable.”

“There she is.”

⸻

From outside the gym door…

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

Han whispered:

“They’re literally acting like a couple.”

Lisa smiled.

“But they’ll deny it.”

Hyunjin placed a hand over his heart.

“The slow burn continues.”

Jisoo sighed.

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

⸻

Inside…

Jennie and Felix continued practicing.

Still teasing.

Still competing.

Still pretending they didn’t care.

But everyone else knew…

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