NO STRING ATTACHED - JENLISA

No Strings, No Lies

LISA (to Mingyu)
Coffee me. Make it strong. I had a long night.

MINGYU (without turning)
What, finally fell in love with someone who could outdrink you?

LISA (grinning)
Worse. I slept next to a talker.

SEULGI
What kind of talk?

JISOO
Wait, like talk-talker? Or moaner?

IRENE (arching a brow)
She's glowing. That's suspicious.

ROSÉ (squinting at Lisa)
Something's different. Is that... soft? You're giving off soft energy.

LISA (sips coffee)
Take it back.

Suddenly—

Enter: JENNIE.

Still in a loose tee and her med jacket slung lazily over one shoulder. Hair down. Sleepy but smug.

Everyone freezes. Jennie walks to the table, grabs a piece of toast... and then looks at Lisa with the most casual smirk.

JENNIE
Morning, Captain.

LISA (cool)
Doctor.

They lock eyes. Sparks fly. A few squad jaws drop.

JISOO (mouth full of eggs)
Oh my god.

ROSÉ
No. No. No no no. Tell me you didn't.

SEULGI
That's illegal.

IRENE (sipping tea)
...And hot.

MINGYU
Wait. You mean you two—

JENNIE (sits beside Lisa, stealing her coffee without asking)
We had... a late-night consultation.

LISA (leans back, smirking)
Lot of pressure. Needed hands-on diagnostics.

JISOO
OH MY GOD.

ROSÉ (covers her face)
I knew something was up when Lisa didn't threaten anyone before 9AM!

SEULGI
This is so unfair. When I flirt, people call it a security risk.

IRENE
That's because you flirt while holding a sniper rifle.

SEULGI (shrugs)
Efficient.

JISOO (to Rosé)
Okay, be honest, who do you think made the first move?

ROSÉ
I thought it was Lisa. But now? That look on Jennie's face?
She's got "ruined her" energy.

JENNIE (drinks more of Lisa's coffee)
Accurate.

LISA (grinning)
I'm not complaining.

The table erupts in a mix of screaming, laughing, half-choked cereal, and chaotic applause.

MINGYU
Congratulations. You've broken the unbreakable Captain Manoban.

LISA
Still no repeats.

JENNIE
Then good thing it was all one long night.

EVERYONE
OH MY GOD.

JISOO
Wait wait wait. Hold on. Are you two, like... a thing now?

A pause. All eyes turn to Lisa.

She glances at Jennie. Jennie raises a brow, daring her.

Lisa smiles. Small. Soft. Dangerous.

LISA
We're... figuring it out.

JENNIE (teasing)
She's obsessed with me.

LISA (dry)
She broke into my room three nights in a row.

JENNIE
To monitor your injuries.

LISA
While naked?

JISOO
I hate everything.

ROSÉ
I love everything.

SEULGI
This will absolutely end in emotional destruction.

IRENE (smiling faintly)
But it'll be beautiful.

The squad devolves into more bickering and breakfast chaos. But Lisa and Jennie?

They're just sitting there. Shoulder to shoulder. Stealing each other's coffee, nudging knees, occasionally glancing—and smiling.

For now?
There's peace.

And it's sweet. And ridiculous. And full of fire.

⸻
INT. ROOFTOP – HQ – NIGHT

The sky stretches endlessly above them — stars shimmering faintly, a gentle breeze tugging at the hem of their uniforms. The noise of the base is distant now. Just a low hum.

Lisa sits on the ledge, legs dangling over the side. A cigarette burns low between her fingers, mostly forgotten. She's still in uniform. Boots dusty. Her eyes? Somewhere far off.

Jennie steps onto the rooftop, barefoot in sweats and a hoodie that might be Lisa's. No makeup. No armor. Just her.

JENNIE
Didn't think you'd be up here.

LISA (without turning)
Didn't think you'd come find me.

A beat.

JENNIE
Rosé said you left early. I got worried.

LISA
I'm always here after a mission. Helps me breathe.

JENNIE
Same.

She walks over, sliding beside Lisa. Their shoulders brush. Lisa glances at her — notices the hoodie.

LISA (softly)
That's mine.

JENNIE
I know. It smells like you.

Lisa smiles faintly.

LISA
You're not scared anymore?

JENNIE (quiet)
I'm terrified.

Lisa swallows.

LISA
Me too.

A long pause. The kind that used to feel like running. But now, it feels like stopping.

Jennie leans into her. Lets her head rest on Lisa's shoulder.

JENNIE
I don't know what this is, Lisa.

LISA
It's not what we promised. No strings, no repeats.

JENNIE
But I keep coming back to you.

Lisa turns, carefully. She reaches up, brushing a strand of hair behind Jennie's ear.

LISA
You ruin all my rules.

JENNIE (smiles, tearfully)
You made me want to break mine.

Their eyes lock. Tired. Tender. Terrified.

Lisa leans in, kissing her forehead — soft, reverent.

LISA
Whatever this is... we'll figure it out.

JENNIE
You promise?

LISA
I don't make promises.

Jennie pulls back, disappointed. But then—

LISA (gently)
I just... choose to stay.

Jennie breathes out. Smiles. It's not perfect. It never will be.

But for once?

It's enough.

The stars keep shining. Below them, the squad laughs somewhere in the cafeteria.

Above?

Lisa and Jennie sit in the silence — not afraid of it anymore.

Just... together.
