Enchanted (Bbangsaz)

Minji had just walked in, her suitcase barely touching the floor before Jennie was already perched on the couch, arms crossed like she was about to interrogate her.

"So..." Jennie raised an eyebrow, her lips curling into a mischievous grin. "You're back from your weekend getaway, huh? I bet you've got a lot to tell me."

Minji rolled her eyes but couldn't help the grin spreading across her face. "It was great, okay? Don't go starting anything, Jennie."

Jennie leaned forward, practically vibrating with curiosity. "Oh, I'm starting something alright. First of all, how was everything? Spicy business out" She grinned, wiggling her eyebrows exaggeratedly.

Minji slapped her forehead. "Oh my god, seriously? I don't even—"

"No, no," Jennie interrupted, holding up a finger. "I'm just saying... I'm gonna need to give Hanni the big sister talk, because someone's obviously been sweeping you off your feet."

Minji blinked at her, feeling her cheeks burn. "Big sister talk?"

"Yeah," Jennie said, sitting up straight now, eyes twinkling with mischief. "You know, the one where I tell her that if she breaks your heart, I'm gonna find her, and it's not gonna be pretty. You get me?"

Minji sighed dramatically. "You're being extra right now."

"No, I'm not," Jennie shot back, holding a hand to her chest. "I'm being protective. It's a sister thing. I'm basically like your emotional bodyguard. Don't you think I'd make a great one?"

Minji snorted, shaking her head. "You're crazy. She's not breaking my heart, alright? We're solid."

Jennie raised an eyebrow, her teasing tone now more playful. "Sure, sure, solid. So, what's your official 'status'? Are you two exclusive now, or are you still in that 'talking' stage where everyone pretends like they're not obsessed with each other?"

Minji turned pink, shrugging as casually as she could. "We're... we're good. We're more than good. Like, we had some talks and it's... yeah, it's official."

Jennie gasped dramatically, clutching her chest like she was about to faint. "Official, you say? Oh my god, my baby sister's growing up!" She fanned herself. "And here I thought you'd continue messing around and breaking hearts! God, I'd never see this day. I'm so proud, honestly."

Minji rolled her eyes again, but her smile couldn't hide how happy she felt. "You're ridiculous, Jen."

Jennie's grin widened. "Look, I'm just saying, if you need any advice on how to keep things good, I'm here. Just remember, the big sister talk might involve me giving her a rundown on how to spoil you properly."

Minji shot her a look. "Please don't. I'm begging you."

But Jennie wasn't having it. "Oh, it's already in the works. You can't stop me."

Minji groaned. "You're literally the worst."

Jennie leaned back, crossing her arms with a satisfied grin. "Look, I'm just here to help. And by 'help,' I mean I'm gonna make sure Hanni knows how to treat you right, or else she's gonna deal with me." She paused, then smirked. "Also, don't think I won't tell Mom. She's gonna love this."

Minji froze. "You... wouldn't."

Jennie raised her eyebrows innocently. "Oh, I totally would. You know how she is. She's gonna wanna know everything. The details, Minji. Like, all of them."

Minji's eyes widened, her face instantly flushing. "Unnie, no! Mom doesn't need to know—"

But Jennie was already in full tease mode. "Oh, she's definitely gonna know. I mean, I can't be the only one who gets to know the juicy stuff. Think about it: Mom's gonna be like, 'Jennie, you knew?' And I'll be like, 'Yeah, Mom, I knew before Minji even figured it out.'"
