As soon as Jennie and the band members reached backstage, Blaze and Thunder started cheering in triumph. Even the usually silent and brooding Night had an uncharacteristic grin on his face.

"That was out of this world, Senior!" Blaze exclaimed. "We had no idea that you can play the guitar like that! It's official. You're the coolest female I know in my entire life!"

"Yeah! I think that was the best performance we ever had as a band. Goddess, you're the best!" Thunder added.

Night nodded.

Jennie tilted her head to the side. "You're incomplete as a band tonight, so it doesn't count."

At the reminder of their missing band mate, Eros, the three felt guilty. They were still happy about their performance but now they realized that the feeling was incomplete because they weren't sharing it with their brother.

She smiled seeing their expressions. "Don't worry. We'll perform again when Eros is healed from his injuries. Then we'll aim to really have your best performance as a complete band."

"Really, Senior? You want to perform with us again? That's not just lip service, right?" Blaze asked.

"Yes, I want to work with you again after this," she replied.

"I'm so stoked!" Thunder pumped his fists in the air and moved to pounce on Jennie for a friendly hug but someone grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him forcefully away. "What the hell, man?! What are you do—"

Although the face was covered, poor Thunder could still feel the ferocious glare behind the mask and shades.

"S-sorry, man...Ch-chill out, 'kay?"

Jennie gently removed the hand gripping Thunder's collar. Then she rubbed the hand and smiled at the masked man. The dangerous aura coming from the tall man disappeared.

The three band members heaved sighs of big relief. However, they soon watched Jennie and her bodyguard more carefully. The two weren't doing anything inappropriate, but they could see that Jennie treated her bodyguard with affection. In turn, they noticed that the bodyguard stood too closely to her.

They had suspicions about the relationship between the two, but it wasn't any of their business. Besides, she helped them tremendously tonight. Not only that, she made their performance shine in many ways that they couldn't achieve on their own. They might be foolish at times, but they wouldn't bite the hand that fed them.

"I had a great time performing with you. I need to return to my dressing room now and get ready for my next performance," she told them.

"Of course, Senior. Thank you very much for your help tonight! We'll stay and make sure to watch your performance later and cheer for you."

She nodded and left them. The masked Lisa walked beside her while Jae and Hoyeon followed behind them. On their way to the dressing room, the show's staff and the other artists greeted her warmly, and praised and congratulated her for her performance with Pandemonium.

Finally, they reached her dressing room. As soon as the door closed, Lisa removed his mask, pulled Jennie in his arms and kissed her deeply.

"Turn around!" Hoyeon barked at the shocked make-up artist and hair stylist. "You too, Jae!"

Jae pretended not to hear her, opening his eyes wider as if doing so could make him see the hot scene in front of him more clearly. However, Hoyeon was serious. She threw a towel over Wonjae's head to obstruct his view. Then she promptly turned around from the couple.

"Sorry, love. I couldn't stop myself," Lisa murmured after the kiss.

He felt so much better now that his baby girl was in his arms. He knew that he had no reason to feel jealous of the three pests, but seeing them acting too familiarly with her just awakened the ugly green-eyed monster within him.
