L I S A'S P. O. V.

Me, Rosé, and Jisoo unnie were standing outside. Jisoo unnie. was pacing back and forth, Rosé was nervously biting her nails, and I was leaning against the wall with one leg propped up.

Suddenly, I spotted the boys coming out, but Jennie unnie didn't come with them. Rosé, being the impatient one, asked, 'Where's Ruby?'

One of the boys, who introduced himself as Joker, replied, "She's having an important conversation with our leader."

Then I realized there were only six of them, and their leader wasn't with them. Unnie must be talking about something important because she just can't stand men. Once my cousin tried to touch her, and poor him, he must be resting in his grave right now.

After a few moments, we heard some noise from inside, and I looked at the girls, sharing a gaze with them. The leader must be a jerk. I guess his life is shorter than a second.

When the noises didn't stop, the boys, the girls, and I walked in with confused and worried looks on our faces. The scene in front of our eyes was expected for me and the girls, but I guess not for the boys, as their eyes widened.

Their leader was lying on the floor with Jennie unnie's foot on his chest. That's so typical of her. But she never does anything without a reason.

I walked ahead as everyone else stood frozen, unable to say anything. It made me chuckle. I put my hand on her shoulder and gave her a questioning look, asking her silently what happened. She just chuckled in response, removing her foot from his chest and helping him up while he huffed.

Jennie waited for RM to continue, and he cleared his throat, coughing twice as if he was ready to give a speech.

"Look, Ruby, there's no way I'm going to apologize for what I did. But we can work together as a way to make it up to you," Namjoon suggested, making Jennie chuckle as she put her hands in her jacket pockets.

"Do you really think I need you?" she asked, her eyes captivating, and her voice calm as ever.

"You do need us, Ruby. And you can't deny or fight that," RM said, folding his arms, and Jennie could imagine a smirk under his mask.

"Since you mentioned the word 'fight,' I'd like to say something about that. Let's fight?" Namjoon looked at her with confused eyes.

"Look at your size and look at mine. You'll end up being crushed miserably," Namjoon said, making Jennie chuckle again.

"I don't want to work with someone who isn't strong enough to stand up against others and doesn't care about genders," she said, giving him a satisfied smirk on her face.

"Guess what? You've found the right person," Namjoon said with a chuckle as he swiftly removed his gloves.

Jennie didn't do anything as she wasn't wearing anything uncomfortable to fight with. As Namjoon placed the gloves on a nearby cemented shelf, he turned towards Jennie, rolling up his sleeves.

And so the fight began, with Namjoon trying to hit Jennie's stomach, but she skillfully dodged it by stepping aside. The dodging session continued for a few minutes as Namjoon kept trying to hit her but failed every time.

After skillfully dodging Namjoon's attempts to hit her, Jennie stood up, folding her arms and tsking over his huffing state. She couldn't help but tease him a little. "Is that all you've got, RM? I expected more from you!" she smirked.

Her words seemed to ignite a fire in Namjoon's eyes. Fueled by anger, he lunged forward, aiming a punch directly at Jennie's face. But Jennie was quick on her feet. With lightning speed, she turned away, narrowly avoiding the blow.

As she dodged the punch, Jennie swiftly spun around, her movements fluid and graceful. She used Namjoon's own momentum against him, tripping him up and sending him crashing to the ground.

With a swift turn, Jennie's back faced Namjoon, a dark smirk playing on her lips. "My turn," she uttered, her voice dripping with something Namjoon couldn't understand. Without hesitation, she launched herself into the air, delivering a powerful flying kick that sent Namjoon crashing to the ground in an instant. Her foot landed firmly on his chest, pinning him down.

Jimin's eyes widened behind his mask as he turned to Namjoon, his voice filled with astonishment. "How on earth did she manage to put you under her feet like that?" he exclaimed, unable to hide his disbelief.

The question hung in the air, everyone eager to hear Namjoon's response. Jennie casually brushed the dust off her jacket, as if she hadn't just been in a fierce battle moments ago.

"She's way stronger than you think," Namjoon whispered to the other members, their faces filled with disbelief. Joker chimed in, "No way! She had you on the verge of defeat!"

"Damn, our training feels useless if she can take down our leader like that," Jin exclaimed in frustration, earning the attention of everyone in the room.
