NO STRING ATTACHED - JENLISA

The Space Between Us

JISOO (whispers to Rosé)
Temporary sounds like "unfinished business."

ROSÉ (smirking)
Or "emotional damage."

Lisa leans against the wall, unreadable.

LISA (flat)
Just don't slow us down.

Jennie smiles, cool and razor-sharp.

JENNIE
Wouldn't dream of it, Captain.
The room holds its breath.

INT. WAR ROOM – LATER THAT NIGHT

Rosé, Seulgi, and Jisoo are losing it behind a panel as they whisper-watch Lisa and Jennie wordlessly cross paths again.

JISOO
It's like watching two planets circle and refusing to collide.

SEULGI
It's like watching two emotionally constipated wolves pretend they're not mates.

ROSÉ
Do we bet who snaps first?

⸻
INT. INFIRMARY – MIDNIGHT

Jennie's restocking supplies when Lisa steps in, tossing a bloodied cloth on the tray.

LISA
Thanks for showing up.

JENNIE (not looking at her)
Didn't do it for you.

Lisa laughs — not cruel. Just... tired.

LISA
You never do.

Jennie finally looks up.

Eyes burn.

But neither says what they want to.

⸻
EXT. BASE – NIGHT PATROL – LISA'S POV

Lisa walks alone.

Jennie's return stirs everything she's tried to lock down.
She wants to scream. Or kiss her. Or both.
Instead, she clenches her fists and walks faster.
Behind her?
A figure lingers in the shadows — Taemin.

Watching.

INT. TRAINING BAY – EARLY MORNING

The squad is in the middle of a rigorous training session. Lisa is barking commands, but her eyes are elsewhere — subtly distracted. Seulgi notices immediately.

LISA
Jisoo, you're slow. Move faster!

JISOO
(rolls eyes)
I swear you're just mad I beat you in cards last night.

LISA
You beat me once. One time. That's not a streak, it's an anomaly.

SEULGI (smirking)
You're just sore because you can't handle losing.

LISA
I never lose. I just let people think they win for fun. Keeps them motivated.

JISOO
So modest.

Jisoo tosses a training ball toward Lisa, who catches it with ease, but the tension in her gaze is still there. Seulgi exchanges an amused glance with Rosé.

INT. MEDICAL HQ – JENNIE'S OFFICE – DAY

Jennie is in the middle of her work, focusing intently on her patient data. Her desk is organized to a fault, but there's a slight edge in her movements today. The doors slide open, and Dr. Taemin strolls in.

TAEMIN (grinning)
Got time for some real medicine today, or are you just going to keep trying to be perfect?

Jennie doesn't look up, rolling her eyes as she continues her work.

JENNIE
I am perfect, just to clarify.

TAEMIN (leaning in)
So, are you still pretending to be immune to this entire squad, or do you want to stop lying to me?
