Spectrum of Red. [LISRENE]

As Lisa, Red Velvet, and Jennie headed back to the condominium, Jennie decided to visit her sister Jisoo as well. They chatted casually in the lift, enjoying a lighthearted moment. When the lift doors opened on their floor, everyone began walking to their condo until Jennie suddenly gasped.

She'd caught a glimpse of Jisoo and someone in a "very" passionate lip-lock just down the hall.

Startled by Jennie's reaction, everyone turned, following her wide-eyed gaze to the unexpected scene unfolding in front of them.

Jisoo was pressed up against the wall, her arms around a woman's neck, engaged in a hot and intense kiss.

They were staring at Jisoo kissing the woman passionately, and the distance between her and the woman was decreasing gradually as they fought for domination.

The woman was totally leading the kiss.

"Wow,"

Yeri whispered, sounding genuinely impressed. Seulgi's eyes widened in alarm, and she immediately covered Yeri's eyes with both hands, muttering,

"Not for kids!"

Though Yeri, of course, squirmed to peek through her fingers.

But the cherry on top came from Lisa, who, blinking in sheer innocence, exclaimed at full volume,

"Wait-Jisoo Unnie is kissing like a pro?! Jisoo Unnie! Are you dating?!"

Her loud question echoed down the hall.

Everyone else groaned in unison, shooting Lisa a look that screamed,

"You dumb or something?"

Jisoo, realizing they'd been caught, abruptly broke the kiss, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she turned to face the others.

The woman beside her, looking equally stunned, finally turned around.

Red Velvet froze.

"Rosé?!"

They chorused, as their manager attempted to brush off the awkwardness, smoothing down her hair with shaky hands.

Both Jisoo and Rosé struggled to compose themselves.

Rosé cleared her throat, glancing sheepishly at the staring crowd.

"Uh... Hi guys?"

She offered weakly.

Jisoo took a deep breath and forced a nervous smile, trying to face Jennie, who was still crossing her arms and looking very much like the

'protective little sister.'

"I was... um, going to tell you,"

Jisoo stammered, her eyes darting from Rosé to Jennie.

"Soon."

"When, exactly?"

Jennie demanded, arching an eyebrow.

Rosé quickly stepped forward, trying to salvage the situation.

"We're sorry for keeping it a secret, but yes... we're dating."

She looked firmly at Jennie.

"I care about Jisoo. A lot. We didn't want to beat around the bush anymore so we started dating."

Jennie turned her gaze to Rosé, eyeing her up and down, before nodding with a serious expression.

"And you're serious about her?"

She asked, her voice adopting a low, almost intimidating tone that had Jisoo blinking in surprise.

The deputy assistant commissioner was awakened in Jennie.
