After arriving at the photoshoot location, the members of Blackpink quickly reunited. They exchanged hugs and laughter, catching up on recent happenings and playful banter. Jisoo, buoyed by the familiar warmth of her friends, managed to momentarily let go of her concerns.
As they gathered around the makeup station, Lisa, always the life of the party, excitedly brought up something she had thought everyone already knew about. "Hey, are you guys gonna go to Jayb and Jinyoung's homecoming party tomorrow? They threw it tomorrow since Sunday is a free day for their idol friends. How sweet of them" She continued
The words hung in the air as the room seemed to pause, the casual chatter suddenly taking a turn. Jisoo's heart skipped a beat, but she remained composed. She hadn't heard about any party, and learning about it this way left her feeling blindsided.
Jennie, fully aware of the situation, exchanged a quick, concerned glance with Jisoo, who met her gaze with a reassuring nod, signaling she was okay" at least, outwardly.
"a party?" Jisoo replied with a forced brightness in her voice, trying to match Lisa's enthusiasm. "That sounds fun!"
The atmosphere turned slightly awkward for a moment, as the other members of Blackpink picked up on the subtle tension. Rosé, who was very perceptive, gently changed the subject, steering the conversation toward the details of the photoshoot they were there to enjoy.
As the makeup artists worked on their faces and stylists put up their photoshoot outfits with members admiring the preparations, Jisoo focused on steadying her thoughts. She reminded herself of the support she had from her friends and the strength she'd built. Their energy helped her to maintain her composure, even if the knowledge of the party and Jinyoung's silence weighed on her. She still knew she was a boss and needed to get her work done.
During a break between shots, Jennie found a quiet moment to be by Jisoo's side. "Hey, are you sure you're okay?" she asked softly.
Jisoo took a deep breath, her smile more genuine this time. "Yeah, I'm okay. Who cares about a party that is on a Sunday, it's not going to ruin today for me."
Reassured by Jisoo's determination, Jennie squeezed her hand supportively.
