The two returned to class just before break, and the teacher simply nodded as Jennie explained that they had both been to the principal's office. Jennie had never taken advantage of her status as student representative, and the teachers trusted her.

Jennie's friends immediately began to question her, but the student representative just shook her head and focused on the lesson.
Rosé also finally leaned over to Lisa, who wanted to hug her best friend so that the worried look would disappear.

"Are you okay, Lisa?"

She nodded and smiled at her.
As the teacher stood with other students to explain the assignments, Lisa leaned toward Rosé.

"Have you been crying?"

Rosé hesitated, then shook her head.

"Not yet, but almost. So please tell me you're not getting kicked out of school, I don't feel like crying in front of everyone!"

Lisa gently reached for her hand.

"Thank Jennie, you don't have to cry."

Surprised, Rosé looked at Jennie, who immediately looked away with a sheepish expression. The blonde girl laughed softly.

"She actually helped you...",

she stated and smiled happily.

"I told you Jennie was great."

"Yeah yeah, you did. I'm still not sure. But at least she doesn't suck as much as I thought she would..."

"Careful Lisa, you'll end up complimenting her.",

Rosé teased.
Lisa really thought that she had already used up all the kindness Jennie had for today, so she was surprised when Jennie walked up to Lisa right after class, sitting on a bench in the hallway, and put a bento box in front of her.

"For you.",

she declared.
Lisa looked at her in surprise, and looked around again, just to make sure Jennie really meant her.

"Me?",

she asked anyway. Jennie just nodded and stood in front of her, almost expectantly.

"Jennie? Don't torture Manoban, ethics classes are boring without her.",

Jisoo said jokingly as she stood next to her. Only then did she notice the bento box.

"What's that?"

"Are you blind?"

Jennie asked dryly.
Jisoo shook her head.

"May I? Your food is always delicious!"

She declared and reached for the box, but Jennie slapped her hand away.

"It's for Lisa."

Jisoo blinked in surprise and looked at the dark-haired younger girl.

"What do you have on her?"

"Shut up, Chu.",

Jennie muttered, looking at Rosé.

"Do you guys mind eating with me and Jisoo?"

Lisa still looked at Jennie completely overwhelmed, so Rosé quickly shook her head.

"Of course not, sit down.",

she offered kindly and slid a little to the side to make room for the girls. Jisoo immediately joined her, while Jennie sat down on the other side of Lisa.

"Aren't you hungry?",

Jennie asked.

"I am, but I don't want to be poisoned.",
