Rosé glared at Jisoo and simply said, "I'm just joking with you!" Afterwards, she helped him out of the bed and covered him with a thick jacket.
After the two headed downstairs, Jisoo suddenly half-knelt at the end of the stairs, "Get on..."
Although it was already early in the morning, the streets were still practically empty. Rosé looked around and responded, "Forget it." Her mouth refused, but her body was honest. It was not long before she found herself on Jisoo's back.
Jisoo couldn't handle the weight and almost fell on the floor. Rosé quickly placed her feet on the ground and asked, "Are you OK?"
Jisoo couldn't hold back his laughter as he bent over again, "Quick, hop on."
Rosé also couldn't help but let out a laugh as she got back on his back. This time, Jisoo's footsteps were stable, even though it wasn't easy.
"Let me down ahead, I can call a Taxi home," Rosé said as she pointed to the traffic light at the next intersection.
"You still want to go home? Come stay at my place..." Jisoo said as he continued to carry her past the intersection.
"Wouldn't it be inconvenient?" Rosé asked. However, deep down she was sneakily smiling. Although an opportunity like this didn't come by often, at this moment, upon this man's back, Rosé's heart felt warm and at ease. At the same time, she also felt sentimentally attached to him and didn't want to let go.
"Eh...this hospital was only 3 minutes from my house, how come it took you 10 minutes?" Jisoo changed the topic as he made the decision on his own.
"I am still a wo..." Before Rosé finished saying 'woman', she suddenly screamed, "Watch where you're going..."
Jisoo merely turned his head for a moment. As a result, he walked into a lamp post. Rosé fell backwards onto the snow-covered ground as Jisoo lay between her legs...
Jisoo's mind went blank for a moment as he realized their position was a little embarrassing. He quickly stood up, grabbed onto Rosé's hand and pulled her off the ground. Rosé covered her burning cheeks as she thought to herself, how good would it be if this road was a little longer .
Jisoo continued to hold onto Rosé's hand as he led the way without looking back. Meanwhile, Rosé enjoyed the feeling of having her hand held by the person she liked. All the way home, a million thoughts ran through her head.
She knew, even though she was an average person, an average person still had their benefits.
If right now Jennie and Big Boss stood in their place, they would be surrounded by people.
It didn't take long before they returned to Jisoo's home. As there was only one bedroom, Jisoo offered her his bed, but, Rosé suggested, "Since it's too awkward to take the bed, how about we both sleep on the sofa. You take that one and I'll take this one."
Jisoo thought it over and felt her suggestion was quite reasonable. So after taking some medicine, he lay down on the sofa and peacefully fell asleep; it was practically like there was no woman lying opposite him at that moment.
Rosé sat up and watched as Jisoo slept soundly. Inside she felt, letting such a beautiful night go to waste was quite a pity...
However, was she brave enough to let Jisoo know she liked him?
As she began to get drowsy, Rosé eventually lay down on the sofa as well. Unfortunately, her sleeping posture wasn't a very pleasant sight...
In the darkness, a tall figure helplessly approached her side. He leaned over and covered her with a blanket.
However, Rosé was in such a deep sleep, she had no idea...
...
The next morning, while Jennie was packing her luggage, she received a phone call from Minho. He wanted her to attend a private gathering so she could meet some of Manoban Entertainment's artists.
"I've already spoken to the President about this and he has agreed..."
Normally, Jennie did not like social events, but since Minho had already organized it and Lisa had agreed, Jennie had no reason to refuse. So she nodded her head.
After all, she really should become part of the Manoban Entertainment family and make a few more friends.
So, that night 6pm, she made her way to a hidden club with Rosé. In order not to make her feel awkward, Minho waited for her at the entrance and led her into the high-class cocktail party.
Inside the lavish venue, beautiful classical music resounded under the dazzling crystal chandelier; a famous singer was playing the piano.
Jennie concentrated on the faces around her. She realized most of the people attending the cocktail party were people that often appeared on TV. They were either famous TV and movie stars or famous singers. The only person from the same career path as her was the international supermodel, Bae Suzy. She was dressed in a long silver dress and was sitting elegantly with a glass of champagne.
Afterwards, Minho led Jennie to the man playing the piano and smiled as he said, "Feng Ge, I would like you to meet Jennie..."
Although Jennie rarely sang, she was still familiar with the status in pop music that this man had. Ten years ago, his fame was already widespread and he had set many records on the billboards. Now, ten years later, he was still beyond the reach of the younger generations and was like an evergreen of the music industry.
As the man looked her up and down, Jennie did not hesitate at all as she politely greeted him, "Feng Ge."
"It's nice to meet you. Attend these gatherings more often. If you like to sing, I can teach you."
"Thank you, Feng Ge."
"Jennie is here..." the other people present immediately raised their glasses and gathered around as they gradually greeted her. During this entire time, Minho patiently introduced her to each person until she completely blended in with the crowd.
In the end, Jennie sat down beside Bae Suzy. Not too long ago their abilities had already been compared by the public, but Suzy had gotten famous early on and had her own unique style, so she had her own advantages.
She simply turned and smiled at Jennie, "Don't like scenes like this?"
"Yeh, not quite used to it."
"You'll get used to it after you come a few times. This is how Manoban Entertainment is, it has the ability to bring together the most outstanding people," Suzy murmured as she drank the champagne in her hands. Eventually, she started to feel a little drunk, so she asked, "Who is your manager?"
"I...I'm not sure," Jennie replied honestly.
"I heard you'll be flying to Italy in a couple days for a watch endorsement, but I heard people from Star King will also be competing for it." Suzy started explaining, "I know you've been previously blacklisted by Star King. But, since you've joined Manoban Entertainment, you will definitely go up against Star King more often. You should be careful."
Jennie nodded as she looked seriously at Bae Suzy.
"It's impossible to avoid fighting for resources, but, we at Manoban Entertainment have never lost. I hope you can continue this winning streak. Of course, it also depends if your manager has the capability."
Jennie was well aware that the further she advanced, the more ruthless things would be. But apart from nodding her head, she didn't know how else to respond.
Because, she herself did not know who her manager was to be.
The two continued to chat for a while before noticing Minho saying to everyone in secret, "Did you guys know, the president will be making an appearance tonight?"
