Shadows of Destiny: Unveiling Fate's Secrets"?

PART. 16

Recap:

As Jungkook uttered those words, "our little promise," my heart skipped a beat, overcome with a rush of tenderness and affection. The way he spoke, so earnest and sincere, filled me with a sense of warmth and security.

I couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude towards him, grateful for his unwavering support and understanding. His willingness to keep our conversation private spoke volumes about the depth of our bond, and I couldn't help but be touched by his gesture.

Meeting his gaze, I felt a soft smile spread across my lips, my heart overflowing with affection for him. "Thank you, Jungkook," I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. "It means the world to me."

In response, Jungkook's eyes softened, a tender smile gracing his lips as he reached out to gently squeeze my hand. In that moment, surrounded by the warmth of his presence, I knew that our connection was something truly special, a bond that would only grow stronger with time.

Time skip:

Jisoo and Jennie bombarded Y/n with questions the moment they stepped out of the science lab.

"What was that all about in there, Y/n?" Jisoo asked with a mischievous grin.

"Yeah, spill the tea! We saw you and Jungkook talking like there was no tomorrow," Jennie chimed in, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Y/n couldn't contain her excitement as she launched into an animated retelling of her conversation with Jungkook. "Well, you see, Thanks to Jisoo, Jungkook and I were paired up for the lab assignment, and-"

"Ooh, sounds like a setup for a romantic comedy!" Jennie interrupted with a playful wink.

Y/n giggled, feeling her cheeks flush with embarrassment. "It was nothing like that, guys. We were just talking about the lab work and stuff."

Jisoo raised an eyebrow skeptically. "Hmm, sure it was. But did he say anything to you?"

Y/n's heart skipped a beat at the memory of Jungkook's words. "Well, we did make this cute little promise," she admitted shyly.

"A promise? What kind of promise?" Jennie pressed, her curiosity piqued.

Y/n smiled sheepishly. "It's our little secret for now," she teased, enjoying the playful banter with her friends.

Jisoo and Jennie exchanged knowing glances, their smiles widening. "Oh, we see how it is," Jisoo teased, nudging Y/n playfully. "Keeping secrets with Jungkook, huh?"

Y/n laughed, feeling grateful for her friends' playful support. "Hey, a girl's gotta have some secrets, right?"

As Y/n, Jennie, and Jisoo excitedly recounted their encounter with Jungkook, Rosé approached them with a playful grin, wrapping her arms around Y/n and Jennie. But instead of joining in on the excitement, Rosé's expression quickly turned into a pout, signaling her annoyance.

"What's wrong, Rosé?" Jennie asked, noticing her friend's change in demeanor.

Rosé let out a dramatic sigh. "You guys are so mean, keeping all the fun to yourselves and not telling me anything!" she exclaimed, her tone teasing but tinged with genuine annoyance.

Y/n and Jennie exchanged guilty glances, realizing they had unintentionally left Rosé out of the loop. "Sorry, Rosé," Y/n apologized, reaching out to include her in their conversation. "We didn't mean to leave you out."

Jisoo nodded in agreement, her expression apologetic. "Yeah, we should have told you sooner. It was just so unexpected, we got carried away."

Rosé's pout softened into a playful grin as she realized they hadn't meant to exclude her. "Fine, fine, I'll forgive you this time," she teased, nudging Y/n and Jennie gently. "But next time, you better spill all the juicy details right away!"
