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.

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

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: “ANNOUNCEMENT DAY / THE TOUR RETURNS”
⸻

The morning started like any other—

until it didn’t.

⸻

BLACKPINK were gathered in the living room.

Not for rehearsal.

Not for casual planning.

But for something bigger.

⸻

Jisoo stood first, holding a printed schedule in both hands. Her long dark hair was softly styled, and she wore a calm ivory blouse with tailored trousers.

Her expression was steady—but there was excitement underneath it.

⸻

Jennie leaned forward immediately.

“Don’t tell me…”

⸻

Jisoo nodded.

“It’s official.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

Rosé covered her mouth slightly, blonde hair falling over her shoulders as she smiled.

“…We’re going on tour?”

⸻

Jisoo smiled back.

“Yes.”

⸻

The room shifted instantly.

⸻

Jennie stood up.

“International?”

⸻

“International,” Jisoo confirmed.

⸻

Lisa hadn’t spoken yet.

⸻

Lisa sat on the edge of the sofa, staring at the schedule in Jisoo’s hand.

Her brown hair was tied loosely, casual home clothes replacing stage outfits for now.

Her expression slowly changed—

from surprise…

to recognition…

to something softer.

⸻

“…It’s been a while,” she said quietly.

⸻

Jennie pointed at her.

“That tone means you’re already thinking about choreography.”

⸻

Lisa blinked.

“…No.”

Pause.

“…Maybe.”

⸻

Rosé laughed softly.

“That’s a yes.”

⸻

⸻

Jisoo sat down beside them.

“This tour isn’t just performances,” she said gently. “It’s a full journey again.”

⸻

Jennie smiled.

“So basically… chaos with a schedule.”

⸻

“Exactly,” Jisoo replied.

⸻

⸻

Lisa finally looked up fully.

Her eyes had changed slightly.

Not tired.

Not overwhelmed.

Focused again.

⸻

“…We’ll need to prepare everything,” she said.

⸻

Jennie grinned.

“There she is.”

⸻

Rosé nodded.

“I’ve missed that energy.”

⸻

⸻

From the hallway, small footsteps paused.

Noah and Ari stood there, listening.

⸻

Ari tilted her head slightly.

“…Tour means you’ll be gone a lot.”

⸻

Lisa turned toward them.

“…Yeah.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

Noah crossed his arms.

“So it’s going to be just us at home more.”

⸻

Jennie raised an eyebrow.

“That sounded suspiciously like a complaint.”

⸻

Noah shrugged.

“I’m observing.”

⸻

⸻

Lisa stood up and walked toward them.

Kneeling slightly to their level.

“…We’ll still be here,” she said. “Just busy.”

⸻

Ari nodded slowly.

“I get it.”

⸻

But her voice was thoughtful.

Like she understood both sides of “busy” now.

⸻

⸻

Jennie clapped once.

“Okay. Tour mindset starts today.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

“I’m excited.”

⸻

Jisoo nodded calmly.

“Then let’s prepare properly.”

⸻

Lisa stood again.

Her focus fully back now.

“…Let’s do it right.”

⸻

⸻

And just like that—

the house shifted again.

From everyday life…

to something larger.

⸻

Because tours didn’t just move cities.

They changed time.

And everyone inside that house was about to feel it again.
Chapter 11 – The Night Felix Saw The Real Jennie

It was finally night.

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

Jennie wasn’t in the dorm arguing with Felix.

She was with Mina.

⸻

Jennie walked into the lounge and found Mina waiting.

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

Mina smiled.

“You actually came.”

Jennie sat down.

“Don’t sound so surprised.”

“I am surprised.”

“Rude.”

“Accurate.”

Jennie rolled her eyes.

⸻

The night started normally.

They talked.

They laughed.

They caught up.

Mina ordered two giant colorful mocktails.

Jennie stared at hers.

“Why is it so big?”

Mina shrugged.

“You need something fun.”

“I have fun.”

Mina looked at her.

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

Jennie paused.

“That pillow was important.”

Mina laughed.

⸻

As the night went on…

Jennie became less and less like the Jennie everyone knew.

The serious DJ.

The queen of roasting.

The girl who always had the perfect comeback.

Gone.

⸻

Mina stared as Jennie laughed at the menu.

“Why are you laughing?”

Jennie pointed.

“Look.”

“It’s a menu.”

“No.”

She held it closer.

“The salad has a personality.”

Mina blinked.

“…What?”

“It looks judgmental.”

Mina covered her face.

“Oh no.”

⸻

Five minutes later…

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

Mina looked at it.

“It’s a candle.”

Jennie nodded seriously.

“Exactly.”

“How is that a DJ?”

“It has a stand.”

Mina burst out laughing.

⸻

Then suddenly…

Jennie got quiet.

Mina noticed.

The goofy smile disappeared.

“You okay?”

Jennie looked down.

“Yeah.”

But Mina knew her too well.

“Jennie.”

A pause.

“I just…”

Jennie looked at her drink.

“Everyone thinks I’m cold.”

Mina softened.

“Because you pretend you are.”

Jennie didn’t answer.

⸻

Mina sighed.

“Okay.”

She pulled out her phone.

“I’m calling someone.”

Jennie immediately looked up.

“No.”

Mina smiled.

“Yes.”

“No Felix.”

Mina raised an eyebrow.

“You said Felix before I did.”

Jennie froze.

“That doesn’t count.”

“It definitely counts.”

⸻

Mina searched her contacts.

Felix.

Call.

⸻

Back at the dorm…

Felix was sitting on the couch.

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

Han was beside him eating snacks.

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

Felix’s phone rang.

He looked down.

“Mina?”

He answered.

“Hey.”

Mina immediately said:

“Felix, emergency.”

Felix sat up.

“What happened?”

“Your roommate has been replaced.”

Felix blinked.

“What?”

“The Jennie I know has disappeared.”

Han leaned closer.

“What is happening?”

Mina continued.

“She laughed at a menu.”

Felix paused.

“…A menu?”

“Yes.”

A pause.

“She also complimented a candle.”

Han covered his mouth.

“That sounds impossible.”

“It happened.”

⸻

Twenty minutes later…

Felix arrived.

He found Jennie sitting with Mina.

The second she saw him…

Her eyes widened.

“Felix!”

He stopped.

“Hi?”

“You came.”

Mina smiled.

“I told you he would.”

Jennie looked at Felix.

“You actually came.”

Felix nodded.

“Of course.”

She stared at him.

“Why?”

Felix looked confused.

“Because you’re my roommate.”

Jennie looked away.

“That is a very boring answer.”

Felix smiled.

“You wanted a different one?”

She immediately shook her head.

“No.”

A pause.

“…Maybe.”

⸻

On the way back…

Jennie was completely different.

She walked slowly beside Felix.

Then suddenly stopped.

“Felix.”

“Yeah?”

“You know your hair is nice?”

Felix froze.

“What?”

“Don’t make it weird.”

“I’m not.”

“You look surprised.”

“Because you never compliment me.”

Jennie nodded.

“True.”

“Then why now?”

She thought.

“Because I’m honest today.”

Felix smiled.

“Interesting.”

⸻

A few steps later…

Jennie looked at the ground.

Her smile faded.

“Do you actually think I’m mean?”

Felix stopped walking.

“What?”

“Everyone thinks I’m cold.”

Her voice became quieter.

“I joke because it’s easier.”

Felix looked at her.

For once…

He didn’t tease her.

“You know…”

“What?”

“I don’t think you’re cold.”

Jennie looked up.

“You don’t?”

“No.”

“Then what do you think?”

Felix smiled slightly.

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

⸻

Jennie went quiet.

Then her eyes watered.

“I hate that you’re right.”

Felix looked surprised.

“Jennie…”

She wiped her face quickly.

“I’m not crying.”

“I didn’t say you were.”

“Good.”

A pause.

“…Because I’m definitely not.”

Felix smiled.

“Right.”

⸻

When they reached the dorm…

Everyone was waiting.

Lisa immediately looked shocked.

“Wait.”

“Is Jennie emotional?”

Rosé smiled softly.

“She’s just having a moment.”

Jisoo nodded.

“Let her.”

Hyunjin dramatically whispered:

“The walls have fallen.”

Han nodded.

“The roast queen has been defeated.”

Jennie looked up.

“I heard that.”

Han immediately stood straight.

“She’s back.”

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Before going into her room, Jennie stopped.

She looked at Felix.

“Thanks.”

Felix smiled.

“Anytime.”

Jennie nodded.

Then quietly added:

“But don’t tell anyone I was nice.”

Felix grinned.

“Your secret is safe.”

And for the first time…

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

She was glad he did.
