NO STRING ATTACHED - JENLISA

The Fire We Command

Jennie presses her forehead to Lisa's.

JENNIE
I know.
I knew the moment you gave me the ruby.
But I wanted to hear you say it — with nothing between us. No games. No fear. Just... us.

They kiss again — slower this time. Deeper.

LISA
Madam Chérie... would you stay like this with me? Even when this war ends?

JENNIE (smiling)
Even if it ends tomorrow. Even if it burns us down. I'll stay.

Their hands clasp together tightly.

The world outside is chaos.

But in here —
It's two hearts finally laid bare.

INT. SEOUL BASE – STRATEGIC BRIEFING ROOM – DAY

The mission is done, but the world is watching. Footage of Lisa's battlefield brilliance has gone viral across military channels and diplomatic reports. Her face — calm under fire — has become a symbol. A problem.

COMMANDER LEE (to Kim Hyun Bin)
The girl's a hero. But heroes don't stay under control.

KIM HYUN BIN (stone-faced)
She's not just a soldier. She's Jennie's choice. That means she's untouchable.

INT. JENNIE'S OFFICE – SAME TIME

A sealed envelope sits on Jennie's desk.

Inside: a photo of a woman. Cold eyes. Familiar.
The signature: Yun Seo-ryung.
A known operative. Former ally. Now rogue.

Jennie's jaw tightens. She doesn't flinch.

JENNIE (murmuring to herself)
So you want to come out of hiding... then I'll give you something to fear.

She picks up her comms, voice icy calm.

JENNIE
Activate shadow protocol. Eyes on Yun. All channels. No slip-ups.

INT. TRAINING GROUND – BASE – NEXT DAY

Lisa stands back, arms crossed, as Jisoo barks orders, coordinating a high-pressure drill. Seulgi flanks the mock enemy while Irene leads a diversion. The squad flows like water — efficient, dominant.

SOMI (panting, to Lisa)
You're just watching?

LISA (grinning)
Leaders aren't made from orders. They're made from being trusted.

Jisoo glances over, catching Lisa's nod of approval. Her smirk is smug.

JISOO
I'd make a terrifying captain, you know.

SEULGI
Correction: you already are.

The girls laugh. Even Mingyu and Jungkook start to show sharper instincts. The squad isn't just getting better. They're evolving — under Lisa's quiet, deadly guidance.

INT. PRIVATE BASE CORRIDOR – NIGHT

Lisa rounds a corner and finds Jennie waiting. Dark coat. Arms folded. Her aura sharper than usual.

LISA (teasing)
That look in your eyes... should I be worried or turned on?

JENNIE (smirking, stepping close)
Both.
Someone from my past is resurfacing. I'll handle it. But I need you to know something.

She gently lifts Lisa's hand, presses her lips to her knuckles.

JENNIE
No matter what comes next... you're not just my partner. You're the only one I trust. Completely.
