When they arrived at the dinner gathering, they were the last to join. Krystal took a seat beside Y/N. "Why did you have your phone off the whole day?"

Krystal answered in a low voice, "Yesterday, my phone was stolen. I spent the whole day at home."

Y/N smiled and said, "I thought you were in trouble."

Krystal fell into a brief silence before responding, "No..."

As Y/N observed Krystal, she couldn't help but notice that something seemed amiss. Krystal appeared unusually subdued today, her usually lively demeanor overshadowed by a subtle air of restraint. Sensing a change in her best friend, Y/N contemplated asking her about it.

However, before Y/N could inquire, Lisa took a decisive step. She reached out and gently tugged at Jungkook's arm, urging him to rise from his seat. With a mischievous glint in her eye, Lisa extended her arm towards him and declared, "Allow me to formally introduce you all to my fiancé, Jeon Jungkook."

Jungkook, caught off guard by the sudden spotlight, couldn't help but chuckle at the unexpected turn of events. He graciously raised his glass, a gesture signifying a toast to the momentous occasion.

Amused by Jungkook's reaction, Lisa turned her gaze towards him, her expression playful yet expectant. She teasingly remarked, "Now it's your turn, Second Lead."

Perplexed, Jungkook furrowed his brow and inquired, "What do you mean?"

Lisa, with a sense of newfound importance, leaned closer to Jungkook and poked his arm with her elbow. She explained, "Introduce me, silly."

Understanding her request, Jungkook complied with a good-natured sigh. He raised his hand and gestured towards Lisa, clearing his throat before addressing the assembled guests, "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you're already well-acquainted with this extraordinary woman, but it's my honor to reintroduce her today. This is my fiancée, Lalisa Manobal."

With that, the room burst into a chorus of congratulations and applause, acknowledging the couple's engagement. The atmosphere lightened, and Y/N couldn't help but smile, relieved to see her friends sharing their love and happiness with those they cherished most.

Jin couldn't resist the opportunity to tease them, a playful grin on his face as he quipped, "So, when's the big day? When are you two tying the knot?"

Lisa, with a charming display of her dainty and delicate side, responded with meticulous grace, her voice laced with playful coyness as she leaned gently against Jungkook's chest. Her bashful expression added a touch of enchantment to the moment, and it didn't go unnoticed.

Laughter rippled through the room in response to Lisa's endearing act. It was evident that her portrayal of a blushing bride-to-be had struck a chord with the guests.

Jungkook, his eyes locked on Lisa, couldn't help but smile warmly at her. Her words carried a depth of sincerity that touched his heart.

Lisa continued, her voice soft and genuine, "Even if love is not the sole driving force behind our relationship, Jungkook, as long as you don't treat me wrong, you will always be the most important person in my life, and I promise to give my all, without holding anything back, to ensure that you feel that way."

Jungkook, moved by her words, playfully pinched her cheek, his own affectionate gesture. "I'll marry you as soon as possible," he declared, surprising everyone with the sudden confession.

The room fell into an unexpected hush, and even Lisa appeared taken aback by Jungkook's impromptu commitment.

Baffled by the sudden silence, Jungkook asked, "What's wrong? Did I say something strange?"

Lisa, her initial surprise giving way to a sweet smile, shook her head gently. "No, nothing at all," she reassured him, her eyes filled with warmth and affection, as if she couldn't believe her luck at that moment.

On this particular evening, Krystal's usual animated self was conspicuously absent. Y/N, who knew her inside out, sensed that something was amiss. In typical circumstances, Krystal wouldn't miss an opportunity to playfully tease Jungkook, but tonight, she was silent.

Y/N couldn't help but steal glances at Krystal, who was seated beside her, trying to decipher the cause of her unusual silence. It was evident that something weighed on Krystal's mind.

Finally, Y/N turned to Krystal and asked with genuine concern, "Krystal, are you sure you're okay?"

Krystal offered a reassuring smile, though it didn't quite reach her eyes. "What could possibly be wrong with me?" she replied, attempting to downplay her inner turmoil.

Y/N persisted, her worry growing. "You seem different tonight," she observed.

"I promise, I'm fine," Krystal insisted, but her response lacked conviction.

As the evening wore on, it became apparent why Krystal might be feeling off. Taehyung, who had indulged in alcohol and was in no condition to drive, had relied on Krystal to be the designated driver for the night.

During their journey back home, Taehyung brought up a conversation, his voice laced with excitement. "Your mom mentioned that you bought a shirt for me," he said with a grin.
