It's been two weeks since my last update, and I apologize for the delay and writer's block. Here's the new chapter! I'll aim to release the next one this week. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!

Yoona stood up from the bed, stretching her arms as she let out a groan. She closed her eyes, thinking, "I could use more sleep."

Checking her watch, she saw it was 5:20 pm. "I'm feeling hungry, time to eat."

A muffled voice came from the bed, and Yoona looked up to see Jennie sitting up, stretching as well. By the way, Jennie was completely . Yoona smiled, placing her hand on her own stomach. "I suddenly got hungry."

Jennie got out of bed and headed to the small couch by the bedside, where Yoona's maroon hoodie was placed. She grabbed it, looking at Yoona with a playful grin as she walked over, holding the hoodie with both hands.

"So, am I just dessert for you? I thought I was a full meal,"

Yoona giggled, shaking her head. She was used to Jennie's flirty remarks. "Aren't you hungry?"

Jennie shook her head, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "You've already filled me up, so I'm good." Their conversation was interrupted by Jennie's phone ringing.

Yoona expected Jennie to let go of her hand, but instead, she pulled Yoona along to retrieve her phone from the bedside table.

"Ceo Yang is calling," Jennie said with an awkward laugh. She knew she was in for a scolding after sneaking away without YG's permission the day before.

"That's your punishment for being a bad girl, Jen," Yoona teased, retracting her hand. She didn't notice the faint frown that appeared on Jennie's face. "Go ahead and answer it," Yoona encouraged, grabbing her own phone from the bedside table.

"I'll be in the kitchen, getting some water to soothe my throat," 

In the kitchen, Yoona opened the refrigerator, scanning the ingredients inside. She contemplated whether to make a Korean or American dinner. She realized she would be the only one eating, considering Jennie claimed to be full. Plus, she was in Korea, so she decided on a traditional Korean dinner: Bibimbap and Japchae.

Yoona gathered the ingredients and began cooking after donning an apron.

Jennie stepped out of Yoona's room, wearing Yoona's maroon hoodie. She headed to the kitchen, where she found Yoona busy cooking and humming a tune. Jennie couldn't help but giggle, feeling flattered. She started to entertain imaginative thoughts, amusing herself with the idea that she was Yoona's wife and Yoona was her husband. She quickly blushed, shaking off the playful notion, lest Yoona catch on to her silly daydream.

She approached Yoona and wrapped her arms around her waist. "Are you sure you're not hungry?" Yoona inquired as she peeked at the rice.

Jennie shook her head, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "I'd rather feast on you." Her words momentarily stopped Yoona in her tracks, causing her to face Jennie, who was eyeing her like a delicacy.

"Jen, we've been at it for like five hours. Aren't you tired?" Yoona asked, raising an eyebrow.

Jennie cutely shook her head once again. "I'll never get tired of you," she confessed, prompting Yoona to sigh and mutter, "Unbelievable."

"Okay. Just so you know, I'm in the middle of cooking right now. Let's cut to the chase, Jen."

Jennie blushed, closing her eyes. Yoona raised her eyebrows in confusion, wondering what Jennie was up to. After a few seconds, Jennie opened her eyes, determination in her gaze.

"Eyes have been calling you, baby," she sang huskily, causing Yoona's confusion to deepen. What's with this singing and cryptic talk?

"Body's been telling me, 'Take me.' Boys have been saying, 'Date me,'" Jennie continued, her thumb caressing Yoona's lips. "Your lips should be saying the same thing."

Internally, Yoona scolded herself. Control yourself, seriously! Why am I still affected?

Jennie smirked and leaned closer to Yoona's ear. "Are you still going to resist me? If you're worried about CEO Yang, just push those thoughts aside. He won't be upset with me, I promise."

Jennie placed her arms around Yoona's neck in the same way she did last night. "Do me hard until I can't walk. Show me your competitiveness," she whispered, causing Yoona to close her eyes and let out a deep breath.

Why is she doing this to me? I hate myself for not controlling my hormones.

After a brief pause, Yoona opened her eyes and met Jennie's alluring smirk. "You'll regret it later, babe." Jennie yelped as Yoona suddenly scooped her up in a bridal carry.

Without wasting any time, Jennie pulled Yoona's face to hers, engaging in a passionate and hungry kiss.

Seulgi had been outside their condo for about an hour. Thank goodness the room is soundproof! Alright, I'll act like I don't know anything and just go in.

Sliding her card and unlocking the door, Seulgi was nearly startled when she saw someone inside. She instinctively placed a hand over her chest, her heart racing. "You scared me," she scolded Jennie, who sheepishly offered a peace sign.

Seulgi's eyes trailed over Jennie, who was wearing Yoona's favorite hoodie. "Nice hoodie," Seulgi complimented. Jennie shyly thanked her and playfully mentioned that she had convinced Yoona to let her borrow it because it was her favorite.

Seulgi found the situation a bit odd. "Aren't you taking her home? It's quite late for her to be here, isn't it?"

Yoona's response came from behind, surprising Seulgi. "Who said I'm not taking her home?" Yoona appeared, shaking her keys in hand.

Seulgi shot Yoona a knowing look. "People usually take someone home at this hour when they're special to them."

Jennie's heart raced as she absorbed Seulgi's words. Could it be? Am I special to her?

Yoona quickly chimed in, trying to downplay the situation. "I have to take her home because she can't walk properly," she explained, causing Jennie to blush and playfully hit Yoona's arm out of embarrassment.

Changing the topic, Seulgi asked, "Is dinner ready?"

"Yup. Food's inside, just help yourselves. We'll be heading out. I'll see you later with your gift."

Seulgi said her goodbyes to Jennie and winked at her, playfully signaling with that she had Jennie hooked.

Jennie blushed and looked away, feeling a mixture of embarrassment and excitement.

Seulgi shook her head with a laugh before entering the condo. She headed straight for the kitchen, hungry and eager to eat. Settling down in a chair, she happily dug into the food.

Yoona had arrived back at their condo and was greeted by her cousin, who was watching TV and munching on Pringles.

After taking off her shoes and coat, Yoona settled down next to Seulgi, getting comfortable. "Where's my gift?" she asked Seulgi.

Seulgi pointed towards their room. Yoona nodded and then turned her attention to the TV.

Curious, Seulgi began teasing Yoona. "So, how was it?"

Yoona massaged her temple, visibly stressed. "Please, I don't even want to talk about it."

Seulgi continued poking. "No feelings at all? Or did you just go for it? Friends with benefits, is that what they call it?"

Yoona sighed, shaking her head. "No, it's not like that—at least, I don't think so. I got carried away and it happened."

Seulgi pushed further, trying to get Yoona to open up. "You took her home, didn't you? If it was just as you said, you shouldn't give her false hope."

Yoona shot Seulgi a look. "I didn't give her false hope."

Seulgi challenged her perspective. "That might be your point of view, but from hers, it's a different story. Do you see the difference?"

Yoona sighed again, closing her eyes. "Why are we even discussing this?"

"Because she keeps showing up unexpectedly. Isn't that right? There's a reason she's in your life, remember what we talked about?"

"I just can't see it right now."

Seulgi looked at Yoona and shook her head, returning her attention to the TV. "...not yet."

Turning her head, Yoona observed Seulgi's profile. Grabbing a pillow, she playfully threw it at Seulgi's face. Seulgi scoffed and retaliated, tossing the pillow back at Yoona, which made her burst into laughter.

"Let's discuss this at the right time," Seulgi finally agreed, realizing that pushing Yoona further would only complicate matters.

Yoona closed her eyes, allowing her thoughts to come together. What exactly am I feeling for her?

Outside the building, Yoona and Seulgi were walking towards the car. "Are you riding with me?" Seulgi asked.

Yoona shrugged and nodded. "Yeah, I can't use my car today. Ms. Jung wanted me to use hers."

"Let's stop by the cafe first. I could use a coffee," Seulgi suggested, heading towards the car.

At the cafe, both Yoona and Seulgi noticed a crowd of people gathered outside. Seulgi scolded them for blocking the parking area before parking the car.

"What's all this commotion in the morning? Seriously," Yoona said, sliding her hands into her pockets as they managed to enter the cafe without being mobbed by fans.

The bell above the door chimed as they entered. "I'll go order. Same as usual for you?" Yoona asked, moving towards the counter.

Standing in line, Yoona noticed a girl in front of her, engrossed in texting on her phone. Catching a whiff of her scent, Yoona leaned in close to her ear with a smile. "Hey, babe."

The girl turned around with wide eyes and immediately hugged Yoona tightly, startling her. "Jen, I can't breathe, and everyone's watching," Yoona managed to say as the girl finally let go, blushing and smiling shyly.

Jennie then smirked, folding her arms. "You came looking for me."

Confused, Yoona tried to explain. "No, Seulgi and I—"

"Don't even bother. I'm just happy you're here," Jennie interrupted, shaking her head. .

They shared a moment of silence until Yoona noticed the cashier signaling that it was her turn to order. Yoona gestured to the cashier, but Jennie was still staring at her. Yoona snapped her fingers in front of Jennie, bringing her back to reality. "What?"

Yoona shook her head, gently turning Jennie towards the counter, making her blush.

After placing the order, Jennie turned to Yoona. "Can I sit next to you?" she asked with a cute smile.

"No," Yoona casually replied, gently pushing Jennie away from the counter.

"Why not?" Jennie asked in English, allowing them to converse without being understood by others. She checked the people around to make sure they couldn't eavesdrop and sighed in relief.

"Two caramel macchiatos with two slices of black forest gateau, for dining in," Yoona ordered with a smile before facing Jennie. "People might get suspicious. Just go sit with your best friends."

Jennie desperately wanted to sit next to Yoona and spend time with her alone, just the two of them. However, the realization that they were in public made her scold herself for being unprofessional.

"Be thankful we're in public," Jennie whispered to Yoona as she grabbed her face, leaning in to bite Yoona's earlobe. "Can't wait for you to do that to me again."

Yoona watched Jennie walk away, her hips swaying suggestively, and internally groaned. You think you're the master of this game? You're totally wrong, Ms. Jennie Ruby Jane Kim.

Sitting at their table, a couple of tables away from Jennie's, Yoona noticed Jennie smiling and staring at her.

"You're in denial," Seulgi said, drawing Yoona's attention to her.

Yoona pointed to herself. "Me?"

Seulgi rolled her eyes at Yoona's playful response. "I'm talking to you, not myself."

Leaning back in her seat and crossing her legs, Yoona laughed at Seulgi's serious demeanor. This girl really loves being serious.

"I thought you were talking to yourself," Yoona retorted, mirroring Seulgi's posture and leaning back in her seat.

"Is she taking this seriously?" Seulgi continued, concern in her voice. "What if she gets hurt?"

"Seul, don't overthink it. She's fully aware of what she's getting into. She made this choice, and it's up to her whether she backs off or not."

"So she's okay with this?"

Yoona took a sip of her coffee. "Yeah."

"She's cleaning up the mess, isn't she?" Seulgi brought up the 'boyfriend situation.'

Yoona chuckled and gave Seulgi a serious look, causing her friend to gulp. "It's pretty risky this time. She's not here to play; she's here to make her mark."

Seulgi observed Yoona, her eyes narrowing. "Well, that's because, as the fans say, Jennie Kim is Jennie Kim." Seulgi took a bite of her cake before continuing. "Can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead."

"What do you really like?"

"Huh?" Yoona batted her lashes and took a sip of her coffee.

"I mean, do you prefer boys or girls?" Seulgi continued.

Yoona made an 'o' shape with and playfully winked. "Oh, you know I'm an equal opportunity player." Setting down her cup, she smirked.

"Really?"

Yoona nodded with a mischievous grin. "But honestly, committing to a serious relationship isn't really my thing." She gazed at Jennie, who was happily chatting with her members. "Love is blind, after all; it can make you blind. Love can make fools out of lovers, as lovers can be foolish." Jennie felt someone's eyes on her and instinctively looked towards Yoona, blushing and quickly looking away when Yoona winked at her.

"Okay, so you're flirty. You can't resist temptation when it comes to her, right? At least this time I'm right."

Both Yoona and Seulgi burst into laughter, amused by the situation. "So, Madelaine is still your type?" Seulgi teased.

Yoona's reaction was so strong that she nearly jumped out of her seat, catching the atte
