---

Jennie and her group waited at the airport lounge, getting ready to board their private jet back to South Korea. Chaeyoung and Jisoo were busy snapping selfies, while Jennie was engrossed in her phone. The atmosphere was relaxed, filled with laughter and chatter, while the staff and bodyguards made final arrangements.

 

"RUBY JANE!"

 

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out, calling Jennie's name. All heads turned to witness Yoona striding confidently toward them.

 

Her sharp suit fit her perfectly, hugging her figure in just the right way. All eyes followed her, captivated by her blend of confidence and beauty.

 

The navy blue suit highlighted her toned arms and sculpted legs. A crisp white shirt peeked out from under the jacket, framing her striking features with natural elegance.

 

As she neared, her infectious smile spread, and she seemed well aware of its impact. Yoona always knew how to command attention, and today was no exception.

 

Jennie had always seen Yoona as the woman in charge, oozing authority and self-assuredness. But now, dressed impeccably and exuding power, the sight left Jennie momentarily speechless.

 

Yoona approached Jennie with confidence and poise, her smile still radiant. "Jennie," she greeted in a soft, melodic voice. "Hello to all of you as well."

 

Jennie was taken aback by Yoona's unexpected presence. She had assumed the businesswoman would take her own private jet, yet here she stood, right in front of them.

 

"Why are you here?" Jennie asked, still surprised.

 

Yoona let out a chuckle. "I couldn't resist the opportunity to spend a bit more time with you," she answered playfully.

 

The rest of the group watched in a mix of surprise and amusement, trying to piece together the dynamics unfolding between Jennie and Yoona.

 

Chaeyoung smirked and chimed in, "Maybe she's just trying to get closer to all of us," playfully flirting with Yoona.

 

Jennie rolled her eyes at her friend's comment. "Remember, she has a fiancé, Rosé," she reminded Chaeyoung, not wanting to entertain any unnecessary romantic ideas.

 

Yoona laughed, enjoying how protective Jennie was being. "Don't worry, Jennie. I'm here for you," she said, flashing a sly grin at Jennie, who responded with another eye roll.

 

The rest of the group exchanged intrigued glances, sensing there was more to the story between Jennie and Yoona than they knew. They had seen the two growing closer, but this level of openness and playfulness was something new.

 

As the group began walking down the aisle to board the plane, Yoona found herself once again walking beside Chaeyoung. In a playful mood, she decided to engage in some lighthearted teasing.

 

"Rosié, how does it feel being part of the world's most famous girl group?"

 

Chaeyoung playfully rolled her eyes. "Come on, you're the one making all the big decisions. We're just here to sing and look good."

 

"Well, you do both excellently. But don't underestimate yourself. You've got an amazing voice and stage presence."

 

Chaeyoung's smile widened at the compliment. "Thanks. That means a lot, especially coming from you."

 

Turning more serious, Yoona mockingly added, "But there's one thing you should work on, Rosié."

 

Curious, Chaeyoung asked, "What's that?"

 

"You should try to control your love for food," Yoona teased, giving a playful nod toward Chaeyoung's stomach.

 

The friendly punch Chaeyoung playfully delivered to Yoona's arm made Yoona laugh. "Hey, don't blame me for loving food. It's one of the best things in life!"

 

"I know, I know. But let's admit it, you've got a little food baby there," Yoona joked.

 

Chaeyoung rolled her eyes again. "Thanks for the reminder, moneybags. Just what every girl wants to hear before a flight."

 

They continued their cheerful back-and-forth, their camaraderie evident. Yoona's attention then shifted to Jennie, who was walking ahead. Without hesitation, Yoona left Chaeyoung to catch up with Jennie, leaving the blonde laughing and calling after her, a mix of annoyance and amusement in her voice.

 

Jennie was walking alongside V, her own nervousness evident in her stance.

 

Observing V's hesitancy, Yoona decided to step in. She caught up to them and playfully placed her arms on Jennie's shoulders, causing the other members to raise their eyebrows in surprise.

 

"Hey, Jennie," Yoona spoke, her grin mischievous. "I think this guy here wants to walk with you today."

 

Jennie looked at the blushing and stammering V, sympathetically smiling. "Sure, we can walk together."

 

Before V could respond, Yoona teasingly stepped between them and put her arm around Jennie's waist. "Actually, Jennie is mine for today."

 

Jennie was taken aback by Yoona's sudden boldness. She glanced at the businesswoman, feeling a bit flustered, but Yoona just grinned back, a playful smile on her face.

 

V, feeling a bit out of place, decided to shrug it off and walked a few steps behind with Seo-joon, engaging in conversation.

 

As everyone boarded the plane, the sight of their luxurious seats and attentive flight attendants greeted them. Yoona scanned the seats, searching for the perfect spot. Seeing V heading toward the seat next to Jennie, she wasted no time and took the seat beside Jennie, casually draping her arm over the cat-eyed girl's shoulder.

 

Jennie was surprised and tried to shift away from Yoona's arm, but Yoona maintained her smile and said, "Sorry, mate. Just a reminder, Jennie is mine for today."

 

V appeared momentarily confused but brushed it off, settling into the seat beside Seo-joon, who had called him over.

 

Jennie rolled her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips. "I can't believe you're stealing my seat."

 

"I enjoy sitting with you," Yoona responded with a grin. "Plus, we have some unfinished business to discuss."

 

Jennie's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Oh, really? And what business would that be?"

 

Yoona's eyes twinkled mischievously as she brought up the topic. "The other night in Paris, you seemed to be having a blast."

 

Jennie's cheeks turned a shade of red as she remembered their night together. Trying to appear nonchalant, she retorted, "I don't know what you're talking about."

 

Yoona playfully persisted, her grin widening. "Come on, Jennie. We both know you had a great time."

 

Jennie's eyes met Yoona's, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face. "Alright, you win. I had a blast," she confessed.

 

Yoona's grin grew wider, and she leaned closer to Jennie. "Me too," she whispered, her words sending a shiver down Jennie's spine.

 

Jennie was in the middle of recounting a story to Yoona when she noticed that Yoona had drifted off to sleep. Jennie looked at the peaceful expression on Yoona's face, her breaths coming out in gentle sighs. A smile formed on Jennie's lips – it was a rare sight to witness Yoona so relaxed, considering their often-hectic schedules.

 

Jennie continued her story, her voice becoming softer so as not to disturb Yoona's slumber. Nevertheless, she occasionally paused to steal glances at the sleeping woman. Yoona looked so serene and vulnerable, and a feeling of protectiveness welled up within Jennie.

 

As time passed, Jennie realized that Yoona had been asleep for a while. Carefully placing her phone on the tray table, Jennie leaned closer to Yoona, careful not to wake her. However, as she shifted, Yoona stirred slightly, causing Jennie to freeze.

 

Observing Yoona's movement, Jennie noticed her head resting against her shoulder. Her heart skipped a beat at the contact, and though tempted to pull away, Jennie remained still, not wanting to disrupt Yoona's peaceful rest.

 

So there they sat, Jennie looking at Yoona's sleeping countenance. She took a deep breath and retrieved her phone, capturing a quick snapshot of Yoona before gently returning it to its place.

 

Jennie stared at the picture for a moment, a soft smile gracing her lips as she reminisced about their moments in Paris. Those memories held a special place in her heart – dancing under the moonlight with the Eiffel Tower as their backdrop, sharing intimate conversations in a foreign city.

 

Glancing at Yoona once more, watching her breathe in and out, Jennie leaned back in her seat, her thoughts a swirl of emotions.

 

After a lengthy flight, the Blackpink members and their team finally touched down at Incheon International Airport. As the plane taxied to a stop, Yoona rose to retrieve her luggage from the overhead compartment. In the process, her shirt became untucked, revealing her well-defined abs.

 

A hush fell over the cabin – even the flight attendants and managers were taken aback. Jennie's jaw dropped as she struggled to process what was in front of her.

 

Jisoo, Lisa, and Chaeyoung were equally stunned, with Chaeyoung managing a barely audible "oh my." Jennie was incredulous, rolling her eyes at her fellow members.

 

Jisoo was the first to recover her voice, exclaiming, "Oh wow, Ms. Lim! You've got abs of steel!" Lisa nodded vigorously, while Chaeyoung simply stared in admiration.

 

Unaware of the attention, Yoona continued to search through her bag until the awkward silence became apparent. She glanced up to find everyone's eyes on her, puzzled.

 

Jennie, ever quick on her feet, seized the opportunity. She grasped the hem of Yoona's shirt and gave her a meaningful look. "What are you doing?" she admonished in a low voice.

 

Yoona, still unaware of her wardrobe malfunction, asked innocently, "What? Did I spill something on myself?"

 

Jennie's tone grew more authoritative. "Just put your shirt back in place."

 

Yoona finally caught on to the situation and quickly tugged her shirt down, playfully flashing a grin at the astonished Blackpink members.

 

"Oops, my bad," she said with a sheepish chuckle.

 

Jennie shook her head in disbelief, muttering, "You're something else," before getting up and heading towards the front of the plane. Yoona trailed behind her, still puzzled about what had transpired.

 

As they disembarked, Jennie turned to Yoona with a slight exasperation, "You really should be more cautious. You could have caused quite a scene."

 

It finally dawned on Yoona, and her face turned beet red as she covered it with her hands. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Her voice trailed off as she grappled with her embarrassment.

 

Could it be that human emotions are more unpredictable than I anticipated?

 

Jennie couldn't help but shake her head, a laugh escaping her lips. "You really can't resist, can you?" she said, her lips curving into a smile.

 

Yoona shrugged nonchalantly. "Well, I am quite a package – hot, adorable, and charming, all at once."

 

The Blackpink members exchanged amused glances, shaking their heads at Yoona's playful demeanor. V and Seo-joon shared a knowing look, their expressions a mixture of amusement and bewilderment.

 

As they bid farewell and prepared to head in their respective directions, Yoona faced Jennie, a mischievous grin tugging at her lips. "Don't miss me too much. I know you'll be utterly lost without me." Jennie rolled her eyes but couldn't hide her smile.

 

Jisoo chimed in, "Take care, Ms. Lim! We'll miss you. See you around!" Lisa and Chaeyoung nodded in agreement, both looking genuinely sad to see her go. The bond between them had grown stronger during their time together in Pa
