On New Year's Eve, City TV Station rented a large auditorium for their gala.

After getting ready, Jennie arrived backstage half an hour early. People were bustling around wearing colorful clothes, but sadly, none could rival Jennie's sequined skirt.

Jennie wasn't some big shot so naturally, she didn't have a separate lounge to wait in. In the end, she found a small corner and sat down to play with her phone.

Alas, phones right now had limited functions...

"Jen...." Irene had been looking for Jennie for ages before finally finding her sitting in a corner.

"Irene? How come you're back here?" Jennie sent both Irene and Joy tickets, but Joy was becoming too big to come to busy places like this. In the end, Irene came alone.

"I had an acquaintance let me in." Irene smiled and pointed behind her.

Jennie tilted her head and saw Bobby, Hanbin's university friend. Because Jennie hadn't seen Bobby in 10 years, she doesn't really remember him. In the few times she met him after her rebirth, Jennie couldn't even remember his name, but after yesterday's rehearsal, she's finally a little more familiar with him.

"You're not on until 9:30." As the host of the gala, Bobby naturally knew the schedule so he made a proposal: "You still need to wait for 2 hours, why don't you go wait at our lounge, there are fewer people there."

"Will I be troubling you?" Jennie hesitated.

"Not at all, we're all classmates, and you've met sister Jiwon." Bobby smiled.

"We should go. Look how busy everyone is, you'll just be in other people's way." Irene also advised.

So Jennie and Irene followed Bobby to the host lounge. Jiwon was reading her teleprompter cards when she saw people entering. She smiled and greeted them; obviously Bobby had already talked to her beforehand.

Jennie thanked Bobby and sat down with Irene.

Soon a staff member came in and told Jiwon and Bobby that the director was looking for them, so they both left the lounge.

When Jennie and Irene were finally the only people left in the room, it soon became lively.

"The skirt looks fine, it's not as exaggerated as you described." Irene looked at Jennie's skirt and commented this.

"But don't you think that it's a little too grand for a no-name amidst a gala with bigger stars?" Jennie pointed to herself.

"Oh. That's true. Your dress is more eye-catching compared to what Jiwon was wearing." Irene smiled, "But you'll look stunning on stage, with all the lights the effect will definitely be amazing!"

"Don't you need to find your seat soon?" Jennie remembered that the audience had to enter the auditorium early.

"It'll be fine, I only came to cheer for you anyway." Irene opened her bag and pulled out a small camera, showing it to Jennie as if it was a treasure, "I'll take lots of pictures later."

Jennie didn't look at the camera, her eyes trained at Irene's bag.

It was a small women's satchel, its whole body shaped like a sharp cone. It glittered in the light and anyone who saw it would certainly feel chills.

"Is that a bag or a murder weapon?" Jennie couldn't help but say.

"This..." Irene glanced at her bag and proudly showed it off: "It's a popular bag right now, I ordered it from America especially. Isn't it cool, it can also act as a weapon when I need one."
