SHADOWS OF TRUTH (JENNIE KIM FANFICTION)

4. Headlines and Heartbeats

Y/N groaned, rolling onto her back and blinking against the early morning light. Her phone kept buzzing with relentless persistence, the screen glowing with endless notifications. Still half-asleep, she tried to ignore it, but the constant buzzing tugged at her curiosity. Finally, sighing, she grabbed her phone and squinted at the screen, trying to focus through sleep-blurred eyes.

It was as if every news outlet in the K-pop universe had jumped on last night's dinner like a pack of wolves. Headline after headline screamed across her screen, each one more outlandish than the last:

"Jennie and Y/N Spotted Together—The New Power Couple?"

"Opposites Attract: Inside the Tension and Mystery of Jennie and Y/N's First Outing"

"The Hottest New Pairing: BLACKPINK's Jennie and LE SSERAFIM's Y/N Set Sparks Flying!"

"Body Language Breakdown: Are Jennie and Y/N's Subtle Cues Signs of Hidden Affection?"

Y/N's jaw dropped at the sheer drama the media had managed to inject into a single dinner. She rolled her eyes, but she couldn't resist clicking on one of the articles. Skimming the commentary, she could almost hear the breathless tones of entertainment reporters speculating wildly.

"This could be the dawn of a new power couple. BLACKPINK's Jennie, known for her elegance and poise, contrasts sharply with LE SSERAFIM's Y/N, whose rebellious charm and effortless cool create a fascinating tension. Their recent dinner outing left fans buzzing, with onlookers noting both undeniable chemistry and an icy edge."

The article went on, dissecting every facial expression and gesture from the dinner as if it were a scene in a romance film. Y/N couldn't believe it—how had people twisted an awkward, tension-filled dinner into the next great love story? Another line jumped out at her:

"Fans are divided: Is this the beginning of a heart-stopping romance, or a bitter rivalry between two strong personalities? Either way, they make one striking duo."

Y/N rolled her eyes at that one. Romance? A duo? It had taken everything in her to keep from rolling her eyes at Jennie the entire night. She kept scrolling and hit the fan comments section, where things were even more intense.

One fan account had already created a slideshow of pictures from the outing, overlaid with captions like "Can you feel the heat?" and "When worlds collide!" Fans and shippers flooded the comments:

"This is the enemies-to-lovers vibe we DESERVE."

"Y/N looking like she's annoyed and unbothered while Jennie stares daggers? ICONIC."

One particularly bold fan wrote, "There's no way Y/N can resist Jennie's charm for long. We're witnessing the start of a K-drama right here, people."

Y/N groaned louder, chucking her phone down onto her bed and flopping back with an exasperated sigh. Enemies-to-lovers? This is PR, not a romance! How are they so delusional?

Despite her irritation, a smirk tugged at her lips as she remembered the bewildered look on Jennie's face. There was something amusing, almost funny, in the fact that the world saw her annoyance as a perfect "chemistry."
