"What do you want from us?" Jisoo, the oldest asked them in an authoritative tone.

"Your life?" Jin, the oldest mocked, making Jisoo roll her eyes.

Jennie stepped forward, looking at RM who once again stood up, brushing off the dust from his sleeves and clothes.

With a pointed finger, she warned him, "Don't ever get in my way or the next time you mess with us, you'll be six feet under along with your six pets."

Without waiting for a response, she walked away, followed by Jisoo and Rosé. Lisa remained standing there, glaring at him as she said, "Don't you dare come near us, or I'll chop you all into pieces."

With that, Lisa also walked away, leaving RM gritting his teeth.

"What does she think of herself? Is she some kind of queen or something?" Joker, the third oldest, said as they all glared at the exit in anger.

"I'll make sure you pay for this, Ruby," RM whispered, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Interesting," Taehyung muttered under his breath, wearing a dark smirk.

Unknown:
Hello, sweetheart.

Ruby:
Who's this?

Unknown:
Your future?

Ruby:
You really wish to get in trouble at this hour, don't you?

Unknown:
Bring it on, kitty.

Ruby:
You'll regret those words soon enough.

Unknown:
I don't regret anything, sweetheart. I'm the master of no regrets.

Ruby:
Until you meet me.

On the other hand, the person texting her smirked as he looked at her text, saying "Until you meet me." He quickly typed his response, moving his fingers swiftly on the keyboard.

My Ruby:
Until you meet me.

V: What if I say I already did?

Jennie frowned as she looked at the text, while Jisoo watched her with concern and said, "What's wrong, Nini? You're not eating your lunch and just texting someone?"

"Uh... Yeah, I'm just a little busy, but it's okay... Let's eat," Jennie replied, not stuttering but speaking after a short pause.

"Unnie, we already had our lunch. It's just you who was busy on your phone," Lisa chimed in, picking up her phone from the dining table and heading outside, followed by Rosé.

Jisoo looked at the two fading away as she once again focused on Jennie, who was lost in her thoughts, staring at the food with a fork in her hand.

"You seem quite worried since you came back after the meeting with BTS. Is everything okay?" Jisoo asked with concern, placing her hand on Jennie's resting left hand as the right one was busy holding a fork.

As Jisoo touched her hand, Jennie snapped back to reality and looked at Jisoo, startled. Jisoo was also taken aback by her sudden behavior.

"Uh... So, what were you saying, unnie?" Jennie asked, looking at Jisoo, who was about to say something. But before Jisoo could speak, Jennie's attention shifted to the two empty seats in front of her.

"Wait, Chae and Lily still didn't come for lunch? Wait, I'll call th-" Jennie said, getting up from her chair and turning to head upstairs towards their room. However, Jisoo grabbed her hand from behind.

"They already had lunch and left, saying they're done. Are you okay?" Jisoo asked, concerned. Jennie let out a sigh and dropped back onto the chair, holding her head in frustration.

"You're still worried about that, huh?" Jisoo asked, looking at Jennie sympathetically.

Frustrated, Jennie pushed her hair back and placed her elbows on the table. "I just want to be sure he's the one," she said.

"I felt something too when he introduced himself. His voice and his name, everything just seemed to match his personality so well," Jisoo added. Jennie lightly banged her hand on the table and said, "That's exactly what's frustrating me."

"I'm sure you'll find him soon," Jisoo reassured with a tight-lipped smile, nodding her head. Jennie let out a sigh in response.

"All I remember is it was just a loud noise in the mansion, and then everything went dark," Jennie muttered in frustration, while Jisoo looked at her concerned.

"And... that necklace he gave you," Jisoo added, noticing Jennie's gaze shifting to the necklace hanging around her neck. Jennie gently touched the necklace and kissed it, whispering, "I'll find you soon, just wait for me."
