Back at the gala, Jennie did her iconic curtsy bow after her performance of "Monster of Insanity" with Pandemonium. The hall was filled with deafening applause, cheers and whistling. Even those who didn't particularly enjoy rock music couldn't help but feel absorbed by the performance.
There was just something about the way Jennie performed that completely grabbed everyone's attention and focus. It was like being spellbound. Even when the song finally ended, they still felt it resonate within them like a buzz from a fine, exotic wine.
While Jennie and the Pandemonium band members were basking in the audience's adoration, V felt a little threatened. Just a bit.
"Damn, Sister Ruby's voice levelled up again," he muttered while clapping.
Sejin nodded. "Her voice sounds more mature."
"Not only that. It sounds fuller and richer. Her high registers have always been amazing, but it's her low registers that underwent a major evolution this time. I've never heard her reach this kind of low notes before. It sounds as amazing as some of her high notes. She makes it sound easy but not a lot of women can reach such a low pitch."
Sejin rubbed his chest. "My heart hurts a little."
V sniggered at his manager's comment but the truth was that he also felt the same. The way Jennie sang this time gave them literal heartache. It wasn't just a feeling. Their chests really felt a bit painful.
Painful in a way that felt good at the same time. It might sound masochistic but it was the truth.
They wanted to listen to Jennie sing more even though she might make them feel too emotional that it hurt.
"What's up with her?" V continued muttering under his breath. "Does giving birth really changes the quality of a person's voice this much? Or maybe it's because her boobs have become bigger? Her bigger boobs increased her lung capacity—OUCH!!! What the hell are you doing?!!! Stop it, you crazy woman!!!!!"
Chaeng ground the tip of her stiletto heel on his foot before withdrawing it. She sneered at him, not at all apologetic for what she did.
"You dirty pervert. How dare you talk about your sister-in-law's breasts? Just wait until your brother hears about this. He'll fucking kill your perverted ass."
V panicked after hearing what she said. He didn't doubt her words. His elder brother might really kill him. He endured his hurting foot and quickly grabbed her.
"Let me go, you dirty pervert!" Chaeng was infuriated. She struggled against him. "Get your dirty paws off me!"
"Quiet!" V covered her mouth with his hand.
"You two, what are you doing?!" Sejin's eyes almost popped out of his head. He stared at them in disbelief.
V and Chaeng froze. They looked around and realized that everyone was staring at them.
Jennie and the Pandemonium band members had already gotten off the stage without any of the two of them noticing. Jennie raised an eyebrow but still continued walking with easy grace to her husband's side.
On the other hand, the Pandemonium band members started snickering and waggling their brows. Their eyes shone with mischievous glint as they threw their Boss and Orchidia's COO Chaeng a lot of suggestive looks.
Chaeng immediately pushed V away. They both straightened and pretended that all was well.
"I'm gonna fucking kill you after this, you damned bastard," Chaeng said in a low voice while giving everyone a "forced" natural smile.
"Don't shift the blame on me, you troublesome woman," he replied in a similar way. "This is all your fault. You were the one who started shouting like a lunatic and attracted everyone's attention."
