NO STRING ATTACHED - JENLISA

This is New

SEASON 4, EPISODE 5: "This Is New"

INT. JENNIE'S QUARTERS – EARLY MORNING

The sun filters through thin curtains, casting golden patterns across the floor. Soft music plays from the old analog speaker Lisa fixed for Jennie weeks ago. It hums low, warm.

Jennie's standing in her oversized shirt, hair tousled, quietly making coffee. She moves like it's muscle memory — precise, graceful, a little sleepy.

From behind — arms snake around her waist. A familiar backhug. Chin resting gently on her shoulder.

LISA (whispers)
I love you.

Jennie pauses — smile tugging at her lips. She doesn't turn around yet.

JENNIE (teasing)
What did you break?
Or are you about to do something stupid?

LISA (soft laugh)
Can't I just be hopelessly in love with my girl?

Jennie finally turns her head slightly, eyes sparkling as she lets Lisa's lips graze her cheek.

JENNIE (mock suspicious)
Hopelessly?

LISA (grinning)
Dangerously.

They kiss — slow, knowing. Comfortable like a morning rhythm, electric like it's still the first time.

INT. WALK-IN CLOSET – MOMENTS LATER

Jennie's flipping through jackets for the day's duties when she turns — and stops.

Lisa is standing in front of her, suddenly shy, holding a small black velvet box in both hands.

LISA (quietly)
I don't do this. I've... never done this.

Jennie raises an eyebrow.

LISA
Not like this. Not with anyone.

She opens the box.

A Bulgari Serpenti Viper Orb Heart Necklace. Gold curves with subtle ruby inlays — glowing warm like fire. It catches the light with dangerous elegance.

Jennie blinks — stunned.

LISA
It's me...
Giving you my heart, Nini.
Something real. No strings, no games.
Just this. Just you.

Jennie looks at her, eyes misting for a flicker of a second — then she covers it with a crooked smile.

JENNIE (softly)
You're really ruining my cold-hearted image, Manoban.

Lisa laughs, easing closer. She puts the necklace on Jennie herself — slow, deliberate, the chain cool against her skin.

LISA (whispers against her neck)
Let them talk.
This heart belongs to you anyway.

Jennie turns — kisses her again. Deeper this time. Not morning-sweet, but promise-heavy.

Outside the world calls them to duty.

But for now — it's just two soldiers in love, rewriting everything they were told not to believe in.

INT. MILITARY BASE – COMMAND CENTER – LATER THAT MORNING

The intensity of the morning lingers. The squad is assembling, the air thick with anticipation. Lisa and Jennie stand side by side, ready to face the next mission. The briefing room is filled with the sharp scent of coffee, the buzz of quiet conversations. Taeyong stands at the front, his expression serious.

The rest of the squad is in their seats: Jisoo, Rosé, Seulgi, Irene, Somi, Mingyu, and Jungkook. Each is a pillar, ready for whatever challenge is thrown their way.
