As she stepped into the enchanting garden, her eyes were drawn to the lush, vibrant green grass that stretched out before her.

It was as if she had entered a fairytale, where every blade of grass seemed to whisper secrets of magic and wonder.

The soft breeze carried the scent of blooming flowers, filling her senses with their delicate fragrance. Jennie felt so peaceful and calm as she took in the sweet scent of the freshly watered roses.

On the other hand, Taehyung leaned against the wall, flashing a smile as he watched Jennie enjoying the sweet scent of the roses. 'Careful there, princess. Don't want you tripping and falling,' he warned her.

He chuckled as she happily jumped upon spotting her favorite flowers, the hyacinths, in a rainbow of colors.

As he got lost in his thoughts, he witnessed her stumble, and in a swift motion, he sprang into action, saving her from a potential fall.

He swooped in, holding her by the waist, and they tumbled to the ground together with Jennie on top of him.

Their eyes locked, and time seemed to stand still as their hearts raced in perfect harmony. It felt as if their lips were just moments away from a tender touch.

"Oops!" a voice echoed in their ears as they both scrambled to their feet, their faces flushed with embarrassment. Yeji, with a hand covering her face, quickly apologized to Jennie.

"Sorry, I didn't see you there," Ye-ji explained, leaving Jennie a bit puzzled.

"Um... I accidentally bumped into you. There was a beautiful butterfly, and I wanted to catch it," Ye-ji reasoned, while Taehyung looked at her with a 'you are so dead' gaze, and Ye-ji responded with a not-so-innocent 'I didn't do anything, don't give me that look' expression on her face.

"That's okay, I think it's time for me to go. I mean, Jisoo unnie must be waiting for me," Jennie said, brushing off the grass and dust from her dress with a smile.

"Oh, come on, at least have dinner with us," Ye-ji whined, and Jennie couldn't help but laugh at her adorable plea.

"Maybe some other time," Jennie replied, playfully pinching Ye-ji's cheeks, which made her giggle.

✮✮✮

As they reached the grand entrance of the mansion, Jennie turned to face Ye-ji and Taehyung, a sweet smile on her face. She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear shyly.

"Thank you both for such an incredible time." She said with a slight bow.

Ye-ji's face lit up with a wide grin, and she playfully nudged Taehyung with her elbow.

"Aw, don't mention it! We had a blast with you. Safe travels, unnie!" Ye-ji giggled.

Taehyung, unable to hide his fondness, smiled warmly at Jennie. He reached out and gently squeezed her shoulder, conveying his sincerity.

"Goodbye, prin-" Taehyung coughed making Jennie turn red. "J-jennie."

Jennie waved goodbye, her hand gracefully cutting through the air, as she made her way to her car. Entering the car, she drove away from the place as the gates opened automatically.

As Ye-ji turned around to go inside, Taehyung stopped her with a loud and demanding voice, "You pushed her on purpose, didn't you?"

"W-why would I?" Ye-ji stammered, still facing away from him.

Without hesitation, Taehyung stepped closer to her, lightly gripping her throat. "I saw you push her. There was no butterfly," he said, his voice filled with accusation.

Ye-ji smirked and leaned in, whispering in his ear, "Cause I knew you would save her, which you exactly did." Her words sent a flutter of butterflies in Taehyung's stomach making him stare at the gate for minutes.

✮✮✮

Stopping the car in the middle of the highway, with no one around, she leaned back in her seat, trying to calm her racing heart. It just wouldn't settle down.

"It's always going to be me," those words kept echoing in her mind, causing a smile to spread across her face and beads of sweat to form. Why was she feeling so hot? She quickly turned on the A.C, closed her eyes, and leaned back in her seat once more.

After a few minutes, she realized that the heat inside her body wasn't subsiding, even with the cool air blowing.

She decided to step out of the car, her eyes catching sight of a serene lake in the distance. Surrounded by lush greenery, the calmness of the lake water started to soothe her.

She sat down by the roadside, resting her back against the dashboard of her car, and looked up at the sky, admiring the stars. It felt as if she was admiring him.

"He must be seeing the same stars, right?" she muttered, burying her face in her lap, giggling and blushing at her own state. She never thought she would experience such intense feelings.

✮✮✮

"I am," he said, gazing up at the stars, appreciating their beauty in a way he never had before. It was her influence, the way she would stare at the stars at night when they were together.

She loved stars, just like he loved... Wait, no, he couldn't have feelings for her. Could he?

✮✮✮

And just like that, they both kept gazing at the sky, seeing each other reflected in its vastness for hours.

"Come on, Jane, get up! Unnie will worry if you don't arrive on time," Jennie said to herself, snapping out of her thoughts. She got up, started the engine, and drove away towards the mansion.

✮✮✮

"I better get up before Ye-ji shows up with her 'sister' act," Taehyung muttered to himself, shaking off his drowsiness. He blinked a few times to clear his vision before stepping inside the fancy mansion.
