Got it — I’ll keep your chapter exactly in tone, but adjust Ari and Noah to sound like teenagers and add clearer visual descriptions for them.

CHAPTER: “ANNOUNCEMENT DAY / THE TOUR RETURNS” (UPDATED)
⸻

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 sharpened slightly—not tired, not overwhelmed.

Focused.

⸻

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

⸻

Jennie grinned.

“There she is.”

⸻

Rosé nodded.

“I’ve missed that energy.”

⸻

⸻

From the hallway, two figures paused.

⸻

Ari stood slightly ahead of Noah.

She looked like a modern teenager now—about 13–14, with long dark hair tied into a loose half-braid, wearing an oversized hoodie over a school uniform skirt, phone in hand. Her expression was calm but observant, the kind of quiet maturity that came from watching more than speaking.

⸻

Beside her, Noah leaned against the doorframe with a relaxed teenage posture. Around 14–15, he wore a slightly unbuttoned school blazer over a hoodie, messy hair falling into his eyes, backpack still hanging off one shoulder like he hadn’t fully decided if he was coming or going. His expression carried that classic teen mix of boredom and curiosity.

⸻

Ari tilted her head slightly.

“…Tour means you’ll be gone a lot.”

⸻

Lisa turned toward them.

“…Yeah.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

Noah exhaled.

“So basically the house becomes quieter and more monitored.”

⸻

Jennie raised an eyebrow.

“That sounded like a complaint disguised as analysis.”

⸻

Noah shrugged.

“I’m just stating outcomes.”

⸻

⸻

Lisa stood and walked toward them, kneeling slightly to their level.

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

⸻

Ari nodded once.

“I get it.”

Her tone was more grounded now—teenage understanding replacing childhood confusion.

⸻

Noah looked at her.

“…We’re fine.”

A pause.

“…Probably.”

⸻

Rosé laughed softly from behind them.

“That ‘probably’ is doing a lot of work.”

⸻

⸻

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 locked in.

“…Let’s do it right.”

⸻

⸻

And just like that—

the house shifted again.

From everyday rhythm…

to movement, schedules, stages.

⸻

And in the hallway, two teenagers watched it all unfold—

old enough now to understand what “busy” really meant…

but still young enough to feel it when things started changing again.
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.
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: “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.
Book 2 – Chapter 31: The Boys Have a Problem

The college dance was only three days away.

Which meant…

Panic.

⸻

Not from Jennie.

From the boys.

⸻

Felix sat in the dorm lounge, scrolling through his phone.

His blonde hair was neatly styled, and he wore a black hoodie, dark jeans, and white sneakers.

He sighed.

⸻

Han walked in carrying three different jackets.

His black hair faded into bright blue at the ends. He wore a blue hoodie, black cargo pants, and sneakers.

⸻

“Which one says, ‘I’m cool but not trying too hard?’”

⸻

Felix looked up.

⸻

“None of them.”

⸻

Han gasped dramatically.

“You’re supposed to support me!”

⸻

Before Felix could answer, Hyunjin walked in.

His black hair with bright red tips was styled perfectly. He wore a black jacket, fitted jeans, and boots.

⸻

“You’ve been standing in front of the mirror for twenty minutes.”

⸻

Han crossed his arms.

“I’m creating a masterpiece.”

⸻

“You’re creating traffic.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

⸻

Just then…

The girls walked past the open lounge.

⸻

Jennie wore an oversized black leather jacket, a band T-shirt, baggy jeans, and chunky boots. Her short dark bob gave her the same fearless DJ queen look as always.

Lisa wore a black-and-white hoodie with jeans, her Oreo-inspired haircut standing out.

Rosé wore a denim jacket and relaxed pants, her short blonde Apatapate-inspired hair tucked behind one ear.

Jisoo wore a cream cardigan and jeans, her long blonde hair with lavender-pink tips flowing over her shoulders.

⸻

Felix smiled at Jennie.

⸻

She looked at him for exactly one second.

⸻

“…Your shoelace is untied.”

⸻

Felix looked down.

“Oh.”

⸻

He bent over to tie it.

⸻

Han whispered,

“That was nice.”

⸻

Felix smiled.

⸻

Until…

Jennie added—

⸻

“I’d hate for you to trip before embarrassing yourself at the dance.”

⸻

Felix looked back up.

⸻

“…There she is.”

⸻

Jennie smirked.

“Never doubted it.”

⸻

The girls kept walking.

⸻

Han blinked.

⸻

“Are… are you two flirting?”

⸻

Jennie turned around.

⸻

“No.”

⸻

Han looked confused.

⸻

“That sounded exactly like flirting.”

⸻

Jennie folded her arms.

⸻

“No.”

⸻

Lisa quickly stepped in.

“Han… don’t overthink it.”

⸻

Han looked between Felix and Jennie.

⸻

“I am absolutely going to overthink it.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“They’re acting weird.”

⸻

Jennie raised an eyebrow.

⸻

“You’re one sentence away from becoming my next roast target.”

⸻

Han immediately raised both hands.

⸻

“I value my happiness.”

⸻

“Smart choice.”

⸻

As the girls walked away, Felix couldn’t stop smiling.

⸻

Han noticed.

⸻

“There it is again.”

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“The Jennie smile.”

⸻

Felix blinked.

⸻

“I don’t have one.”

⸻

Hyunjin laughed.

⸻

“You definitely do.”

⸻

Across the hallway…

Jennie heard them.

She quietly smiled to herself…

Then immediately hid it before anyone could see.

⸻

The secret was still safe.

At least…

For now.
Chapter 13 – The Class Where Everyone Noticed

Monday morning.

School.

The place where everyone pretended they were focused…

But really?

Everyone was watching everyone else.

Especially Jennie and Felix.

⸻

Jennie walked into class.

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

She sat down at her desk.

Then immediately noticed something.

Felix was sitting two seats away.

⸻

Felix looked up.

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

They stared at each other.

One second.

Two seconds.

Then both looked away.

⸻

Han noticed immediately.

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

He leaned toward Lisa.

“Something is wrong.”

Lisa smiled.

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

“Something is definitely wrong.”

⸻

Rosé sat behind them.

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

“They’re acting normal.”

Jisoo looked up.

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

“Which means they’re not normal.”

⸻

The teacher walked in.

“Good morning, class.”

Everyone sat down.

“Today we will be doing partner work.”

The entire class immediately became interested.

Because everyone knew…

Partner work meant chaos.

⸻

The teacher looked at the list.

“Jennie and Felix.”

Silence.

The entire room turned.

Jennie slowly looked at Felix.

Felix slowly looked at Jennie.

“No.”

“Agreed.”

The teacher looked confused.

“You haven’t even started.”

⸻

Han whispered.

“This is going to be amazing.”

Lisa smiled.

“Or a disaster.”

“Both.”

⸻

They moved their desks together.

Felix looked at the assignment.

“Okay. Let’s just finish this.”

Jennie nodded.

“Finally, something we agree on.”

Felix smiled.

“Don’t get emotional.”

Jennie looked at him.

“You’re still annoying.”

“There she is.”

⸻

They started working.

For five minutes…

Everything was peaceful.

Too peaceful.

Then Felix wrote an answer.

Jennie looked at it.

“That is wrong.”

Felix looked offended.

“No, it’s not.”

“It is.”

“How do you know?”

“Because I read.”

The whole group gasped.

Han covered his mouth.

“She attacked his intelligence.”

⸻

Felix smiled.

“Okay, DJ girl.”

Jennie looked up.

“What?”

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

Jennie leaned closer.

“Better than you solving anything with a basketball.”

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Even Felix laughed.

Which surprised Jennie.

Usually he would fight back immediately.

Instead…

He just smiled.

⸻

The teacher walked by.

“Are you two arguing or working?”

Jennie and Felix answered together.

“Working.”

The teacher looked at their paper.

Then looked at them.

“Interesting way of working.”

⸻

During break, everyone surrounded them.

Han pointed.

“You two are different.”

Jennie frowned.

“How?”

“You actually enjoy arguing.”

Felix shrugged.

“We always argued.”

“Yes,” Lisa said.

“But now you smile while doing it.”

Jennie immediately looked away.

“No, I don’t.”

Felix smiled.

“Yes, you do.”

She turned.

“You are not helping.”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

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

Jisoo nodded.

“Everyone notices.”

Hyunjin dramatically placed a hand over his heart.

“The enemies-to-friends transformation…”

Han sighed.

“It’s literally just homework.”

⸻

The bell rang.

Everyone returned to their seats.

Jennie packed her bag.

Felix looked over.

“Hey.”

“What?”

“Good job today.”

Jennie raised an eyebrow.

“Was that another compliment?”

“Maybe.”

She smiled slightly.

“You’re getting weird.”

Felix laughed.

“And you’re getting nicer.”

Jennie pointed at him.

“Don’t ruin it.”

⸻

And as they walked out of class…

Everyone knew one thing.

Jennie and Felix were still the same.

Still competitive.

Still annoying.

Still roasting each other.

But now…

There was something else there.

Something neither of them wanted to admit yet.

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.
Book 2 – Chapter 23: The Worst Timing Ever

The morning after…

Everything was normal.

⸻

Well…

Almost normal.

⸻

Jennie walked into the dorm kitchen wearing her usual black oversized hoodie, cargo pants, and boots.

Her short dark bob was perfectly styled, giving her the same intimidating DJ queen energy.

⸻

Lisa was already there.

Her Oreo-inspired haircut — mostly black with white strands — was tied back slightly. She wore a comfortable hoodie and leggings while making breakfast.

⸻

Lisa looked at Jennie.

“You’re smiling.”

⸻

Jennie immediately stopped.

“No, I’m not.”

⸻

“You were.”

⸻

“I was thinking.”

⸻

“About Felix?”

⸻

Jennie froze.

⸻

“No.”

⸻

Lisa smiled.

“That pause was a whole confession.”

⸻

Jennie grabbed a drink.

“You talk too much.”

⸻

“That’s your way of saying yes.”

⸻

“That’s my way of saying you’re annoying.”

⸻

“Same thing.”

⸻

Jennie rolled her eyes.

⸻

Then…

The door opened.

⸻

Jisoo walked in wearing a soft sweater and jeans. Her long blonde hair with lavender-pink tips was styled beautifully.

Rosé followed behind her wearing a denim jacket and comfortable pants. Her short blonde Apatapate-inspired hair was slightly messy in a cute way.

⸻

Rosé looked between Lisa and Jennie.

“What did we miss?”

⸻

Lisa pointed at Jennie.

“She smiled.”

⸻

Everyone gasped dramatically.

⸻

Jennie stared.

“Are you all done?”

⸻

“No,” Jisoo said immediately.

⸻

Jennie sighed.

⸻

“Traitors.”

⸻

Later – Practice Room

⸻

Everyone gathered for rehearsal.

⸻

Felix arrived.

His blonde hair was slightly styled, and he wore a black hoodie, jeans, and sneakers.

⸻

Jennie looked at him.

Just for a second.

⸻

A tiny smile.

⸻

Han saw it.

Immediately.

⸻

“Oh.”

⸻

Everyone looked.

⸻

Han pointed.

“Something is happening.”

⸻

Jennie turned.

“Finish that sentence and regret it.”

⸻

Han stopped.

⸻

“Never mind.”

⸻

Hyunjin laughed.

His red-tipped hair stood out as he adjusted his jacket.

⸻

“Han finally learned survival instincts.”

⸻

Han looked at him.

“Don’t act like you’re safe.”

⸻

Felix tried not to smile.

⸻

Jennie noticed.

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“Nothing.”

⸻

“Your face is suspicious.”

⸻

“My face?”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“How can my face be suspicious?”

⸻

“You’re Felix.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

The Weird Part

⸻

During practice…

The music suddenly stopped.

⸻

Everyone looked at Jennie.

⸻

“What happened?”

⸻

Jennie checked the equipment.

⸻

“The cable is missing.”

⸻

Han raised his hand.

“I might know why.”

⸻

Everyone looked at him.

⸻

“…Why?”

⸻

“I may have borrowed it.”

⸻

Jennie’s eyes narrowed.

⸻

“Why?”

⸻

“I thought it was a charger.”

⸻

Silence.

⸻

Hyunjin covered his face.

⸻

Jisoo blinked.

⸻

Rosé laughed.

⸻

Felix looked at Han.

“How?”

⸻

Han shrugged.

“It looked like one.”

⸻

Jennie slowly walked toward him.

⸻

“Han.”

⸻

“Yes?”

⸻

“Congratulations.”

⸻

“On what?”

⸻

“You are officially the reason instructions exist.”

⸻

Everyone burst out laughing.

⸻

The Even Worse Timing

⸻

After practice…

Jennie and Felix were alone putting equipment away.

⸻

Felix smiled.

“You know…”

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“I like this version of you.”

⸻

Jennie looked at him.

“What version?”

⸻

“The one that doesn’t pretend she doesn’t care.”

⸻

She stared.

⸻

Then immediately recovered.

⸻

“Don’t get emotional.”

⸻

“I’m just saying.”

⸻

“You’re always just saying.”

⸻

He laughed.

⸻

Then suddenly…

The door opened.

⸻

Lisa.

Jisoo.

Rosé.

Han.

Hyunjin.

⸻

All standing there.

⸻

Silence.

⸻

Everyone looked at Jennie and Felix.

⸻

Felix froze.

⸻

Jennie froze.

⸻

Han slowly smiled.

⸻

“Oh.”

⸻

Jennie immediately pointed.

“No.”

⸻

“I didn’t even say anything.”

⸻

“You were about to.”

⸻

Han closed his mouth.

⸻

Lisa looked between them.

⸻

“So…”

⸻

Jennie stared.

⸻

“So what?”

⸻

Lisa smiled.

⸻

“Nothing.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“Absolutely nothing.”

⸻

Jennie narrowed her eyes.

⸻

“Everyone leave.”

⸻

They laughed.

⸻

Because everyone knew.

⸻

The savage DJ queen was still savage.

⸻

Still terrifying.

⸻

Still impossible.

⸻

But something was definitely different.

⸻

And the funniest part?

⸻

Jennie was the last person who wanted anyone to notice.write in English
Book 2 – Chapter 33: The Boys’ Panic Meeting

The night before the college dance…

The girls were prepared.

The decorations were ready.

Jennie had her DJ set planned.

⸻

But somewhere else on campus…

Three boys were completely losing their minds.

⸻

The Dorm Room

⸻

Felix sat on the edge of his bed staring at his phone.

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

⸻

Han walked in wearing a blue-and-black jacket.

His black hair faded into blue at the ends.

He looked at Felix.

⸻

“You’ve been staring at that phone for ten minutes.”

⸻

Felix didn’t look up.

“I’m thinking.”

⸻

“You’re stressing.”

⸻

“I’m not.”

⸻

“You sighed six times.”

⸻

Felix looked up.

“How do you know that?”

⸻

Han pointed.

“I counted.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“That’s concerning.”

⸻

Han nodded.

“Very.”

⸻

The door opened.

⸻

Hyunjin walked in.

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

⸻

“Why does this room feel like a disaster meeting?”

⸻

Han pointed at Felix.

“He’s trying to figure out how to ask Jennie to dance.”

⸻

Hyunjin immediately sat down.

⸻

“Oh.”

⸻

Felix looked at them.

“Can you both not make this worse?”

⸻

Han smiled.

“We absolutely can.”

⸻

The Plan

⸻

Felix stood up.

“Okay.”

⸻

Everyone listened.

⸻

“I want to ask Jennie to dance.”

⸻

Han nodded.

“Good.”

⸻

“But…”

Felix sighed.

“She’s Jennie.”

⸻

The room went quiet.

⸻

Hyunjin nodded seriously.

“Valid fear.”

⸻

Han raised his hand.

“Question.”

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“What if you just ask normally?”

⸻

Felix stared.

⸻

“That’s your advice?”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“That is the least dramatic advice possible.”

⸻

“Exactly.”

⸻

Hyunjin crossed his arms.

“Actually, I agree.”

⸻

Felix looked surprised.

⸻

“Really?”

⸻

“No.”

⸻

Felix blinked.

⸻

“I just wanted to sound wise.”

⸻

Han laughed.

⸻

“You are so dramatic.”

⸻

“Thank you.”

⸻

“That wasn’t a compliment.”

⸻

“I accepted it anyway.”

⸻

The Confessions Begin

⸻

A few minutes later…

⸻

Han suddenly became quiet.

⸻

Felix noticed.

“What?”

⸻

Han looked away.

⸻

“Nothing.”

⸻

“Han.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“…I might ask someone too.”

⸻

Felix raised an eyebrow.

⸻

“Who?”

⸻

Han looked embarrassed.

⸻

“Rosé.”

⸻

Silence.

⸻

Then Felix smiled.

⸻

“Wait.”

⸻

“You want to ask Rosé out?”

⸻

Han covered his face.

⸻

“Don’t make it weird.”

⸻

“You just made this whole room weird.”

⸻

Hyunjin laughed.

⸻

Han pointed.

“You’re one to talk.”

⸻

Hyunjin froze.

⸻

“What?”

⸻

Han smiled.

⸻

“You have someone too.”

⸻

“No.”

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“No.”

⸻

“Jisoo.”

⸻

Hyunjin immediately turned red.

⸻

Felix and Han stared.

⸻

“OH.”

⸻

Hyunjin stood up dramatically.

⸻

“Fine!”

⸻

The room went silent.

⸻

“I do.”

⸻

Han gasped.

⸻

“He admitted it!”

⸻

Hyunjin pointed.

“Do not make this a moment.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

⸻

“So let me understand…”

⸻

He counted on his fingers.

⸻

“Han likes Rosé.”

⸻

Han nodded.

⸻

“Hyunjin likes Jisoo.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“And I’m stressed about Jennie.”

⸻

Everyone looked at each other.

⸻

Han smiled.

⸻

“We are doomed.”

⸻

⸻

The Practice Conversation

⸻

Han grabbed a pillow.

⸻

“Okay. Pretend I’m Jennie.”

⸻

Felix stared.

⸻

“No.”

⸻

“Do it.”

⸻

Han changed his voice.

⸻

“Hello Felix.”

⸻

Felix immediately laughed.

⸻

“That doesn’t sound like her.”

⸻

Han continued.

⸻

“Would you like to go to the dance with me?”

⸻

Felix shook his head.

⸻

“Jennie would roast me before finishing the sentence.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“Accurate.”

⸻

Han tried again.

⸻

“Felix, I have decided you are acceptable company.”

⸻

Felix froze.

⸻

“…That’s actually closer.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

The Final Advice

⸻

Eventually, the room became quiet.

⸻

Felix looked at them.

⸻

“What if she says no?”

⸻

Han shrugged.

⸻

“Then she says no.”

⸻

Hyunjin nodded.

⸻

“But at least you tried.”

⸻

Felix smiled.

⸻

“Thanks.”

⸻

Han stood up.

⸻

“Now…”

⸻

“What?”

⸻

“We need to practice my Rosé speech.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

⸻

“No.”

⸻

Hyunjin stood.

⸻

“And my Jisoo speech.”

⸻

“No.”

⸻

Han grabbed a notebook.

⸻

“Too late.”

⸻

Felix looked at the ceiling.

⸻

“Why did I ask for advice?”

⸻

Because tomorrow was the dance.

⸻

And three boys had three missions.

⸻

Felix: Ask Jennie.

Han: Ask Rosé.

Hyunjin: Ask Jisoo.

⸻

The only problem?

⸻

They were all terrified.
Chapter 27 – The Movie Night Trap

By Sunday evening…

Everyone in the dorm had exactly one goal.

Tease Jennie and Felix.

Forever.

⸻

Han was the mastermind.

“I have an amazing idea.”

Jennie immediately looked up from her laptop.

“No.”

“I didn’t even say it.”

“I don’t need to hear it.”

⸻

Han grinned.

“We’re having movie night!”

Lisa clapped.

“I love movie nights!”

Rosé smiled.

“I’m in.”

Jisoo nodded.

“Me too.”

Hyunjin dramatically placed a hand on his chest.

“I shall provide emotional commentary.”

Felix laughed.

“This should be interesting.”

Jennie sighed.

“I already regret this.”

⸻

An hour later…

The living room was covered with blankets, popcorn, chips, candy, and soda.

Lisa sat on the floor.

Her ash-blonde hair with bangs was tied into a loose ponytail. She wore an oversized pink hoodie and gray sweatpants.

Rosé curled up beside her.

Her lavender hair was braided over one shoulder, and she wore a cream sweater with ripped jeans.

Jisoo wore a navy hoodie and black joggers, her red hair tucked behind one ear.

Han wore his green hoodie and black sweatpants, already eating half the popcorn before the movie even started.

Hyunjin arrived with his blond hair perfectly styled—even for movie night—and wore a loose black sweatshirt and wide-leg pants.

Felix wore a black hoodie and gray sweatpants.

Jennie wore an oversized black sweatshirt, matching sweatpants, and fuzzy socks. Her blonde hair was tied into a messy bun.

⸻

Han looked around.

“Perfect.”

Jennie narrowed her eyes.

“Why are you smiling like that?”

“No reason.”

“Han.”

“No reason.”

⸻

Everyone picked a seat.

Jennie sat on one end of the couch.

Felix sat on the other.

Han looked disappointed.

“Oh.”

“What?”

“You two are too far apart.”

Jennie sighed.

“That’s the point.”

⸻

Han suddenly stood up.

“I forgot the drinks!”

“I’ll help,” Lisa said.

“So will I,” Rosé added.

“Me too,” Jisoo smiled.

“I suddenly remembered something in my room,” Hyunjin announced dramatically.

Everyone left.

Except…

Jennie and Felix.

⸻

Jennie blinked.

“…We just got tricked.”

Felix looked toward the kitchen.

“They planned this.”

“They absolutely planned this.”

⸻

The movie started anyway.

For a few minutes…

Neither of them spoke.

Until…

A loud thunderstorm appeared in the movie.

Jennie jumped.

Just a tiny bit.

Felix noticed.

“You got scared.”

“I did not.”

“You literally jumped.”

“I was… surprised.”

He laughed.

“You hate horror movies.”

“I hate loud noises.”

“Sure.”

⸻

Jennie grabbed a handful of popcorn.

Felix reached for the bowl at the exact same time.

Their hands bumped.

Jennie looked at him.

“You stole my popcorn.”

“Our popcorn.”

“My popcorn.”

Felix smiled.

“I’ll buy you another bag.”

“You’d better.”

⸻

Just then…

The movie reached a really emotional scene.

Han slowly peeked around the corner.

Lisa peeked over his shoulder.

Rosé, Jisoo, and Hyunjin were stacked behind them like dominoes.

Lisa whispered,

“Are they holding hands?”

Han squinted.

“No…”

“They’re fighting over popcorn.”

Rosé laughed quietly.

“That sounds more like them.”

⸻

Suddenly…

Jennie noticed five heads sticking out from the hallway.

She slowly turned.

“…Seriously?”

Everyone froze.

Han smiled awkwardly.

“We can explain.”

Jennie stood up.

“Oh, I’d love to hear this.”

Hyunjin stepped forward.

“This was an observational experiment.”

Lisa nodded.

“Very scientific.”

Felix laughed so hard he almost dropped the popcorn.

Jennie pointed at all of them.

“You trapped us.”

Han shrugged.

“Did it work?”

Felix looked at Jennie.

“I mean…”

“We watched half the movie without arguing.”

Jennie blinked.

“…Wait.”

Everyone gasped dramatically.

Han threw his hands into the air.

“THEY ADMITTED IT!”

“I admitted nothing!” Jennie protested.

“You admitted peace!”

“That’s not a thing!”

“It is now,” Han declared.

The entire room burst into laughter.

Jennie looked at Felix.

“You know…”

“What?”

“I think our friends are completely insane.”

Felix smiled.

“Definitely.”

A small smile spread across Jennie’s face.

“…Good.”

Felix nodded.

“Yeah.”

“…Good.”

And for the rest of the night…

The movie barely mattered.

Because the real entertainment…

Was everyone trying—and failing—to stop teasing Jennie and Felix.
Chapter 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.
Characters:
* Alexander (Alex): 24, works in a garage. loved her very much. Black hair, dark eyes.

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.
Book 2 – Chapter 37: The Girls Before the Dance

Seven hours.

⸻

That was all that was left until the college dance.

⸻

The dorm was unusually calm.

No rushing.

No panic.

Just four friends sitting together before the biggest night of the year.

⸻

The Girls’ Room

⸻

Jennie sat on the floor checking her DJ playlist one last time.

Her short dark bob was slightly messy, and she wore a comfortable black hoodie, loose jeans, and sneakers.

Even when relaxing…

She still looked like the campus DJ queen.

⸻

Lisa sat on the bed beside her.

Her Oreo-inspired haircut — mostly black with white strands throughout — was tied back casually.

She wore a cozy sweatshirt and jeans.

⸻

Jisoo was fixing her hair in the mirror.

Her long blonde hair with lavender-pink tips was styled beautifully.

She wore a soft sweater and a skirt, already looking elegant.

⸻

Rosé sat beside her, smiling.

Her short blonde Apatapate-inspired hair was styled naturally, and she wore a relaxed outfit while preparing her accessories.

⸻

For a moment…

Everything felt peaceful.

⸻

Then Rosé spoke.

⸻

“So…”

⸻

Everyone looked at her.

⸻

“I have something to tell you.”

⸻

Jennie immediately narrowed her eyes.

⸻

“Why does that sound suspicious?”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

⸻

“I’m going to the dance with Han.”

⸻

Silence.

⸻

Then—

⸻

Lisa smiled.

“Finally!”

⸻

Jisoo laughed.

“You two were so obvious.”

⸻

Rosé covered her face.

⸻

“Were we?”

⸻

Jennie looked at her.

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

“How?”

⸻

“You both looked at each other like you forgot other people existed.”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

⸻

“That’s… accurate.”

⸻

Jennie’s Turn

⸻

Lisa looked at Jennie.

⸻

“Your turn.”

⸻

Jennie blinked.

⸻

“My turn for what?”

⸻

“Who are you going with?”

⸻

Jennie immediately looked away.

⸻

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

⸻

Everyone stared.

⸻

Jennie sighed.

⸻

“Fine.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“Felix.”

⸻

Lisa smiled.

⸻

“I knew it.”

⸻

Jennie pointed.

⸻

“Don’t.”

⸻

“I’m not saying anything.”

⸻

“Your face is saying enough.”

⸻

Jisoo laughed.

⸻

“You’re happy.”

⸻

Jennie looked offended.

⸻

“No.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

⸻

“Your denial is getting weaker.”

⸻

“Impossible.”

⸻

⸻

Jisoo’s Secret

⸻

Jennie looked at Jisoo.

⸻

“What about you?”

⸻

Jisoo smiled.

⸻

“Hyunjin.”

⸻

Lisa gasped.

⸻

“Wait, really?”

⸻

Jisoo laughed.

⸻

“Yes.”

⸻

Jennie smirked.

⸻

“That explains why he was acting like he was in a movie.”

⸻

Rosé laughed.

⸻

“He practiced, didn’t he?”

⸻

Jisoo nodded.

⸻

“For a very long time.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Lisa’s Silence

⸻

The room became quieter.

⸻

Lisa smiled.

⸻

“I’m happy for you guys.”

⸻

But the others noticed.

⸻

Jennie looked at her.

⸻

“Lisa.”

⸻

“I’m fine.”

⸻

Jisoo tilted her head.

⸻

“Are you sure?”

⸻

Lisa looked down.

⸻

For a second…

She didn’t answer.

⸻

“I guess I just didn’t expect everyone to have plans.”

⸻

The room softened.

⸻

Rosé immediately moved closer.

⸻

“Hey.”

⸻

Lisa looked up.

⸻

“You’re not left out.”

⸻

Jisoo nodded.

⸻

“Never.”

⸻

Jennie put down her headphones.

⸻

“You’re literally the person who keeps us all together.”

⸻

Lisa smiled slightly.

⸻

“That sounded almost nice coming from you.”

⸻

Jennie rolled her eyes.

⸻

“Don’t ruin it.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Lisa hugged them.

⸻

⸻

Lisa’s Secret

⸻

After a moment…

Lisa smiled.

⸻

“Actually…”

⸻

Everyone looked at her.

⸻

“I do have someone to go with.”

⸻

Jennie raised an eyebrow.

⸻

“Excuse me?”

⸻

Lisa grinned.

⸻

“He’s a friend.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

⸻

“Who?”

⸻

Lisa shook her head.

⸻

“Not telling.”

⸻

Jisoo laughed.

⸻

“Why?”

⸻

“Because I want to surprise you.”

⸻

Jennie smirked.

⸻

“Suspicious.”

⸻

“Very.”

⸻

“But…”

Lisa smiled.

⸻

“I’m excited.”

⸻

Jennie nodded.

⸻

“Good.”

⸻

A pause.

⸻

“And if he disappoints you…”

⸻

Lisa laughed.

⸻

“You’re going to roast him?”

⸻

Jennie shrugged.

⸻

“Obviously.”

⸻

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Seven hours later…

⸻

Four girls would walk into the dance.

⸻

Four different stories.

⸻

Four different secrets.

⸻

And one unforgettable night waiting for them.
Chapter 17 – The Festival Countdown

The school festival was only three days away.

And somehow…

Everything was becoming more chaotic.

⸻

The biggest problem?

Everyone had discovered Jennie’s new blonde hair.

And they were not letting it go.

⸻

Jennie walked through the school hallway.

Her blonde hair fell in soft waves around her face, looking completely different from her old black hair. She wore a black leather jacket over a graphic shirt, baggy cargo pants, black boots, and her silver headphones around her neck.

She was still Jennie.

Still confident.

Still impossible to embarrass.

At least…

That was what she thought.

⸻

“BLONDE JENNIE!”

Han shouted from across the hallway.

Everyone turned.

Jennie stopped walking.

Slowly…

She looked at him.

“Do you want to survive today?”

Han froze.

His messy brown hair stuck up, and he wore his oversized green hoodie, black jeans, and white sneakers.

“I was just appreciating the new look.”

“You were yelling.”

“Appreciating loudly.”

⸻

Lisa laughed.

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

“I think Han likes the new hair more than you do.”

Han nodded.

“It’s iconic.”

Jennie rolled her eyes.

“You all are dramatic.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

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

“You’re secretly happy everyone likes it.”

“No.”

“Yes.”

“No.”

“Your face says yes.”

Jennie immediately covered her expression.

Everyone laughed.

⸻

Then Felix walked in.

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

He stopped when he saw Jennie.

Not because he hadn’t seen the blonde hair before.

But because every time he saw it…

It surprised him.

⸻

Jennie noticed.

“What?”

Felix blinked.

“Nothing.”

“You stared.”

“I did not.”

“You did.”

Han whispered:

“He definitely did.”

⸻

Felix ignored him.

“It just looks different.”

Jennie crossed her arms.

“Is that good or bad?”

Felix thought.

“Good.”

A small smile appeared.

“Really good.”

⸻

The hallway immediately exploded.

Lisa covered her mouth.

Rosé laughed.

Han looked shocked.

“He said it again.”

⸻

Jennie looked at Felix.

“You know…”

“What?”

“You’re getting suspiciously nice.”

Felix smiled.

“Maybe you’re getting used to it.”

She opened her mouth.

Then closed it.

Because she had no comeback.

⸻

Later that day…

The festival team met in the gym.

The stage lights were being tested.

The music equipment was being set up.

And Jennie and Felix were in charge.

⸻

Felix practiced his basketball performance.

Jennie worked on the music.

The two of them somehow worked perfectly together.

Which annoyed them both.

⸻

Felix looked over.

“You’re good at this.”

Jennie glanced up.

“At what?”

“Making everything come together.”

She shrugged.

“It’s what I do.”

“No.”

He shook his head.

“It’s more than that.”

Jennie paused.

Because Felix wasn’t joking.

⸻

Before she could respond…

The speakers suddenly blasted music.

Everyone jumped.

Han covered his ears.

“JENNIE!”

“What?”

“You almost destroyed my hearing.”

“You’re welcome.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

And Jennie smiled.

⸻

From across the gym…

Lisa watched them.

“They’re getting worse.”

Rosé nodded.

“Definitely.”

Jisoo smiled.

“But in a good way.”

Hyunjin placed a hand over his heart.

“The festival will reveal everything.”

Han sighed.

“It’s literally just a school event.”

⸻

But none of them knew…

The festival wasn’t just going to be about music.

Or basketball.

Or performances.

Because something was about to happen…

That would change the way everyone saw Jennie and Felix.
Back view of a young Viking man riding a black horse on a dirt road toward a peaceful and wealthy Viking village in the distance. The village is still far away, with large wooden Norse houses, clean streets, a harbor with a few Viking ships, and green hills behind it. Only a few villagers are visible, naturally doing their daily work—blacksmith forging, carpenter working, merchant arranging goods, women carrying baskets, children playing, and fishermen near the docks. Nobody notices the hero because he is still far from the village entrance. No overgrown bushes or vines covering the houses. The village looks clean, organized, prosperous, and calm.

‏ Create an ultra-premium Korean fantasy webtoon illustration with breathtaking cinematic quality. The artwork should have an elegant digital painting style that combines clean, razor-sharp anime line art with semi-realistic rendering. Every detail must appear meticulously crafted, including realistic anatomy, expressive facial features, perfectly proportioned body structure, detailed hands, and naturally flowing poses.

The face should be highly attractive with smooth skin, delicate facial structure, defined jawline, subtle blush tones, realistic lips, detailed eyelashes, and extremely expressive eyes that immediately draw attention. The eyes must contain multiple layers of color, glowing reflections, crystal-like highlights, soft gradients, realistic pupils, and magical light that gives them depth and emotion.

Hair should be incredibly detailed with thousands of individual strands, natural volume, soft gradients, realistic highlights, transparent flyaway hairs, and smooth movement influenced by wind or magical energy. Every strand should catch the light differently to create depth and realism.

Lighting must be cinematic and dramatic. Use soft volumetric lighting, powerful rim lighting around the silhouette, realistic global illumination, ambient bounce lighting, cinematic backlighting, bloom effects, god rays passing through the environment, glowing particles floating in the air, atmospheric haze, subtle lens flare, and soft shadows with realistic transitions.

The color grading should feel like a high-budget fantasy film. Use deep blacks, soft whites, silver-gray tones, rich blues, elegant purples, crimson red accents, emerald green highlights, golden warm lighting, and balanced color harmony. Colors should be vibrant but never oversaturated, with high contrast while maintaining natural gradients and soft transitions.

The clothing should be richly designed with layered fabrics, intricate embroidery, metallic ornaments, leather textures, polished armor pieces, elegant accessories, flowing capes, belts, jewelry, magical symbols, and realistic cloth physics reacting naturally to movement.

Magic effects should be breathtaking. Include glowing aura, magical circles, floating runes, energy particles, sparks, mist, smoke, light streaks, energy waves, crystal fragments, glowing dust, and swirling supernatural power. The magical energy should illuminate nearby objects naturally.

The environment should feel alive and immersive. Include cinematic depth, atmospheric perspective, volumetric fog, realistic weather effects, floating leaves, drifting petals, snow, rain, dust, ruins, castles, forests, mountains, ancient temples, fantasy architecture, glowing crystals, waterfalls, clouds, or any environment matching the scene. The background should remain highly detailed while keeping the character as the main focus.

Use dynamic camera composition inspired by modern cinematic storytelling. Employ low-angle shots for powerful characters, high-angle shots for vulnerable moments, dramatic perspective, depth of field, foreground elements, layered composition, and strong visual storytelling.

Rendering quality must be exceptional. Every texture should appear ultra-clean and polished, including skin, fabric, metal, stone, wood, water, fire, smoke, and magical effects. Surfaces should have realistic reflections, subtle roughness variation, and physically believable lighting interactions.

The atmosphere should convey grandeur, mystery, emotion, and epic fantasy. The artwork should feel like the cover illustration of a top-tier Korean fantasy webtoon.

Vor 3000 Jahren retteten die Engel und Menschen die Welt vor dem Dämonenkönig.
So lautet die Geschichte.
So wird sie in Schulen gelehrt.
So wird sie in Tempeln gepredigt.
So steht es in jedem Buch.
Doch Geschichte wird von den Siegern geschrieben.
Und die Wahrheit...
...liegt begraben unter tausenden Jahren aus Blut, Hass und Lügen.
Heute herrscht das Heilige Imperium über die Welt.
Menschen und Engel regieren gemeinsam.
Die anderen Völker leben im Schatten.
Manche als Bürger zweiter Klasse.
Manche als Sklaven.
Manche als Gejagte.
Und manche existieren offiziell nicht einmal.
Doch selbst in einer Welt voller Dunkelheit entstehen manchmal Lichter.
Ein Mensch.
Eine Engelin.
Zwei Kinder, geboren im Herzen jener Reiche, die die Welt beherrschen.
Kinder, die lernen werden, dass Monster nicht durch ihre Herkunft entstehen.
Sondern durch ihren Hass.
Ihre Namen waren:
Akira Kurotsuki.
Und Hikari Tenshou.
Dies ist ihre Geschichte.
Chapter 37 – The Countdown to Graduation

The announcement appeared on every hallway screen.

“Graduation Ceremony: Two Weeks Away.”

⸻

The entire school changed overnight.

Suddenly…

Everyone was talking about memories.

Photos.

Last performances.

Future plans.

⸻

Jennie stood in the hallway staring at the announcement.

Her blonde hair was styled in loose waves, and she wore a black oversized jacket, a white top, baggy jeans, and her favorite boots.

For once…

She wasn’t making a joke.

⸻

Felix noticed.

His black hair was slightly messy, and he wore his varsity jacket, black shirt, athletic pants, and sneakers.

“You okay?”

Jennie looked at him.

“Yeah.”

A pause.

“Just weird.”

“What?”

“Everything.”

⸻

Felix looked at the graduation poster.

“I know.”

“It feels like yesterday we couldn’t stand each other.”

Jennie smirked.

“You couldn’t stand me.”

Felix laughed.

“You roasted me every five seconds.”

“You deserved it.”

⸻

Han suddenly appeared.

His messy brown hair was covered by a graduation cap he wasn’t supposed to be wearing yet.

“I heard emotional conversations.”

Everyone groaned.

⸻

Lisa walked over laughing.

Her ash-blonde hair with bangs was tied back, and she wore a casual black jacket with cargo pants.

“Why are you wearing that?”

Han looked proud.

“I’m preparing.”

“For what?”

“My future as the best graduate.”

“We haven’t graduated yet.”

“Details.”

⸻

Rosé smiled.

Her lavender hair fell over her shoulders, and she wore a soft sweater and jeans.

“He’s been practicing his graduation speech.”

Jisoo looked concerned.

Her red hair was tied neatly, and she wore a cream sweater with black pants.

“How long is it?”

Han looked away.

“…Forty minutes.”

Everyone:

“No.”

⸻

Hyunjin arrived dramatically.

His blond hair was perfectly styled, and he wore a black sweater with layered necklaces.

“Graduation is the end of one era…”

Everyone stared.

“And the beginning of another.”

Han nodded.

“Exactly.”

Jennie whispered to Felix:

“They are both dramatic.”

Felix whispered back:

“Extremely.”

⸻

Later that day…

The group practiced for the ceremony.

⸻

Jennie was helping organize the music.

Felix was helping with the sports awards.

Han was somehow distracting everyone.

⸻

“Han.”

“What?”

“Why are you spinning in the graduation chair?”

“Testing durability.”

“Why?”

“In case I become too successful.”

⸻

Jennie shook her head.

“You are impossible.”

Han smiled.

“Thank you.”

⸻

After practice…

Jennie and Felix stayed behind.

The empty auditorium was quiet.

Rows of chairs filled the room.

The stage lights were on.

⸻

Felix looked around.

“Can’t believe we’re almost done.”

Jennie nodded.

“Yeah.”

⸻

He smiled.

“You know…”

“What?”

“If we met on the first day again…”

“I would still roast you.”

“I know.”

“And you would still annoy me.”

“I know.”

⸻

A small smile appeared on Jennie’s face.

“But…”

Felix looked at her.

“But?”

She looked away.

“…I’m glad we met.”

⸻

Felix smiled.

“Me too.”

⸻

A moment passed.

Then…

Jennie pointed at his outfit.

“Your graduation suit better not look weird.”

Felix blinked.

“That was the moment you chose to roast me?”

“Of course.”

He laughed.

“Never change.”

⸻

The auditorium lights turned off.

They walked out together.

Graduation was coming.

A new chapter was beginning.

But one thing was guaranteed…

Even with diplomas…

New futures…

And everything changing…

Jennie and Felix would still find a way to annoy each other.
Book 2 – Chapter 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 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.
Chapter 33 – The Night of Maximum Chaos

The night was supposed to be relaxing.

That was the first mistake.

Because whenever Jennie, Jisoo, and Han were together…

Nothing was relaxing.

⸻

The group had gone to a late-night celebration lounge after the DJ competition.

The music was loud.

The lights were everywhere.

Everyone was laughing.

And somehow…

Han had become the unofficial leader of chaos.

⸻

Jennie sat at the table with a giant colorful mocktail in her hand.

Her blonde hair was slightly messy from dancing, and she wore her black jacket, silver accessories, and her favorite boots.

Jisoo’s red hair was still styled perfectly, but after hours of dancing, a few strands had fallen loose.

Han’s brown hair looked like he had fought a wind machine and lost.

⸻

Han stood on his chair.

“I have an announcement!”

Everyone immediately groaned.

“No.”

“Han, sit down.”

“Please don’t.”

⸻

Han ignored them.

“Tonight…”

He pointed dramatically.

“Is the greatest night of our lives.”

Felix looked at Lisa.

“How long has he been like this?”

Lisa laughed.

“Since five minutes after we arrived.”

⸻

Rosé shook her head.

Her lavender hair fell over her shoulders as she laughed.

“Han thinks every moment is a movie scene.”

Hyunjin nodded seriously.

“To be fair…”

Everyone looked at him.

“He does make life more dramatic.”

⸻

Meanwhile…

Jennie was having way too much fun.

Which was unusual.

Because Jennie normally acted like she was above everything.

But tonight?

She was laughing.

Actually laughing.

⸻

Felix noticed.

And smiled.

Lisa immediately caught it.

“You are staring.”

Felix looked away.

“I am not.”

“You are.”

“I was just looking.”

“Exactly.”

⸻

Later…

The chaos reached a new level.

⸻

Jisoo grabbed Han’s arm.

“We need to have a serious conversation.”

Han looked worried.

“About what?”

“About why you think you can dance.”

Everyone went silent.

Han looked offended.

“I can dance.”

“You dance like your Wi-Fi is disconnecting.”

The entire table exploded.

⸻

Jennie laughed so hard she nearly dropped her drink.

Felix looked shocked.

“Did Jisoo just roast Han?”

Lisa nodded.

“She’s been saving that one.”

⸻

When it was finally time to leave…

Everyone agreed.

Jisoo, Han, and Jennie were officially too chaotic to be trusted alone.

⸻

The walk back to the dorm was hilarious.

⸻

Han walked beside Hyunjin.

“Do you think ducks know they’re funny?”

Hyunjin paused.

“What?”

“Ducks.”

“Why?”

“Because they walk like they’re late to a meeting.”

Hyunjin stared.

“…I hate that you’re making sense.”

⸻

Jisoo was walking with Rosé.

“Rosé.”

“Yes?”

“I have discovered something.”

“What?”

“I am always right.”

Rosé smiled.

“You say that every day.”

“Because I am consistent.”

⸻

Jennie walked between Felix and Lisa.

She pointed at Felix.

“You.”

Felix looked at her.

“Me?”

“Yes.”

“What?”

“You are suspicious.”

“Why?”

“Because you are nice.”

Felix laughed.

“That’s suspicious?”

“For you? Yes.”

⸻

Felix shook his head.

“You are unbelievable.”

Jennie nodded proudly.

“I know.”

⸻

When they finally reached the dorm…

Everyone collapsed onto the couches.

⸻

Lisa looked around.

“Never again.”

Han raised his hand.

“Question.”

“No.”

“Can we do it again next week?”

Everyone shouted:

“NO!”

⸻

Felix helped Jennie get to her room.

She walked carefully.

“I can walk.”

“I know.”

“Then why are you helping?”

“Because you almost walked into the wall.”

Jennie looked at the wall.

“It was in my way.”

“The wall?”

“Yes.”

⸻

Felix opened her door.

“There.”

Jennie stepped inside.

Then turned around.

“Felix.”

“Yeah?”

“I have something important to tell you.”

He smiled.

“What?”

She pointed at him.

“Your basketball skills are overrated.”

Felix blinked.

“That is what you needed to say?”

“Yes.”

He laughed.

“Of course it is.”

⸻

She sat down on her bed.

Then looked at him more seriously.

“You know…”

“What?”

“You’re actually a good person.”

Felix smiled.

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

“Don’t get emotional.”

“I’m not.”

“You look emotional.”

“I don’t.”

“Your face is doing the thing.”

⸻

Felix laughed.

Then he noticed her DJ trophy sitting on the desk.

He picked it up carefully and placed it somewhere safe.

“You worked really hard for this.”

Jennie looked at the trophy.

“You remembered.”

“Of course I remembered.”

⸻

For once…

Jennie didn’t roast him.

She just smiled.

“Thanks.”

Felix smiled back.

“Anytime.”

⸻

He turned to leave.

Then Jennie called:

“Felix.”

He looked back.

“Yeah?”

A pause.

“Your hair still looks okay.”

He laughed.

“Okay?”

“Don’t push it.”

⸻

Felix smiled.

“Goodnight, Jennie.”

“Goodnight, basketball boy.”

⸻

When he closed the door…

Han appeared in the hallway.

“Did you have a romantic moment?”

Felix jumped.

“How are you always there?”

Han smiled.

“Talent.”

Felix sighed.

“You are impossible.”

Han nodded.

“Thank you.”

⸻

And that was the thing about their group.

They were chaotic.

Loud.

Embarrassing.

Completely impossible.

But somehow…

They had become family.

And Jennie and Felix?

They were still roasting each other every chance they got.

Just now…

There was a little more smiling between the insults.

Chapter 29 – Battle of the DJs

Friday night.

The biggest student DJ competition of the year.

The prize?

A trophy.

Bragging rights.

And a chance to perform at the city’s annual youth music festival.

⸻

The competition was being held at one of the city’s biggest music clubs.

Since it was a school-sponsored event for student performers, there were teachers, security, and families in attendance. The dance floor was packed, the lights flashed across the room, and a huge stage stood at the center with an impressive DJ booth.

The atmosphere was electric.

⸻

Jennie stepped backstage.

Her blonde hair was styled in loose waves with a few silver clips catching the lights. She wore a black cropped leather jacket over a silver top, baggy black cargo pants, fingerless gloves, and black combat boots.

She looked calm.

At least on the outside.

⸻

Felix found her adjusting her headphones.

His black hair was neatly styled, and he wore a black varsity jacket over a fitted black T-shirt, dark athletic pants, and white sneakers.

“Nervous?”

Jennie didn’t even look up.

“No.”

“Liar.”

“I’m professionally nervous.”

Felix laughed.

“I’ll allow that.”

⸻

Han suddenly burst through the backstage curtain.

His messy brown hair looked even messier than usual. He wore a green hoodie under a denim jacket with black jeans.

“I HAVE NEWS!”

Jennie sighed.

“Is it good news?”

“No.”

“Then I don’t want it.”

⸻

Lisa walked in behind him.

Her ash-blonde hair with bangs was perfectly curled. She wore a black jacket, silver cargo pants, and platform boots.

“The audience is huge.”

Rosé smiled.

Her lavender hair shimmered under the stage lights. She wore a lavender jacket, ripped jeans, and white boots.

“They’re already cheering.”

⸻

Jisoo adjusted Jennie’s jacket.

Her red hair was tied into a sleek ponytail, and she wore a cream blazer, black pants, and ankle boots.

“You’ve practiced for this.”

“You’ve got it.”

⸻

Hyunjin looked around dramatically.

His blond hair was perfectly styled, and he wore a black designer-style jacket with layered necklaces.

“The energy…”

Han interrupted.

“Can you stop narrating life for five minutes?”

⸻

An announcer stepped onto the stage.

“Ladies and gentlemen…”

“Welcome to the Battle of the DJs!”

The crowd erupted.

Music blasted through the speakers.

Lights swept across the room.

⸻

Contestants took turns performing.

Each one had ten minutes.

Each one received huge cheers.

Jennie watched quietly.

Felix stood beside her.

“You ready?”

She nodded once.

“As ready as I’ll ever be.”

⸻

“And now…”

“Our final contestant…”

“JENNIE!”

The entire club cheered.

⸻

Jennie walked onto the stage.

The lights dimmed.

She placed her headphones on.

Closed her eyes.

Pressed play.

⸻

The first beat hit.

The crowd exploded.

Jennie mixed songs effortlessly, building the energy with every transition.

The dance floor filled in seconds.

Even the judges leaned forward.

⸻

Backstage…

Han’s mouth dropped open.

“Okay…”

“I knew she was good.”

“I didn’t know she was THAT good.”

Lisa smiled proudly.

“Told you.”

⸻

Felix couldn’t stop smiling.

He folded his arms.

“She’s incredible.”

Rosé looked at him.

“You’ve got the biggest smile in the room.”

Felix immediately looked away.

“I do not.”

“You absolutely do.”

⸻

Jennie’s final transition hit.

The lights flashed.

The crowd clapped in rhythm.

By the end of her set…

The entire club was cheering her name.

“JENNIE!”

“JENNIE!”

“JENNIE!”

⸻

She walked backstage, trying to stay cool.

“So…”

Han ran over.

“So?!”

“You nearly blew the roof off this place!”

Jennie laughed.

“Relax.”

“I will not relax!”

⸻

Felix walked up.

“You were amazing.”

Jennie smiled.

“You’ve said that before.”

“I’ll probably say it again.”

She nudged his shoulder.

“Careful.”

“Why?”

“You keep giving me compliments.”

He grinned.

“I’m just telling the truth.”

⸻

The announcer returned to the stage.

“The judges have made their decision.”

The room became silent.

“In third place…”

Cheers echoed.

“In second place…”

More applause.

Jennie squeezed her hands together.

Felix noticed.

Without saying anything…

He gently gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.

She looked at him.

He simply smiled.

⸻

“And this year’s Battle of the DJs champion is…”

A dramatic pause.

“…JENNIE!”

The entire club erupted.

Han jumped so high he nearly knocked over a chair.

Lisa screamed.

Rosé hugged Jisoo.

Hyunjin dramatically fell to one knee.

“I KNEW IT!”

⸻

Jennie stood frozen.

“Me?”

The announcer laughed.

“Yes, you.”

Felix gently nudged her.

“Go.”

“You won.”

⸻

Jennie walked onto the stage.

The trophy was placed in her hands.

She looked out at the cheering crowd.

Then down at her friends.

Then at Felix.

He gave her a thumbs-up.

She smiled.

A real one.

The biggest smile anyone had seen from her.

⸻

Han yelled from the front row,

“Speech!”

Jennie picked up the microphone.

“I only have one thing to say…”

The crowd waited.

She looked directly at Han.

“…You’re still annoying.”

The whole club burst into laughter.

Han placed a hand over his heart.

“I’ve never been so honored.”

Felix laughed harder than anyone else.

And somehow…

Winning the competition felt amazing.

But celebrating it with the people who had become her family…

Made it even better.
