POWERFUL QUEEN ( banpink as step siblings)

CHAPTER-48

yn-"We're not leaving until you tell us what's going on."(crossing her arms, her tone cool but not harsh).

jennie-just go from here don't need your help.".

yn- i am not here for help just asking..(cold)

Lisa:"Jennie... You're not alone. We're here."(emotional seeing her unnie like this).

YN:"We might not be the warmest people in the world, but we're not heartless. If you need someone to sit with you in silence, we'll do that. If you need someone to keep the world out for a while, we'll handle that too."

[Jennie looks at them, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.]

Jennie:"Why are you being so nice? You're always so cold."

yn-you are same to me miss jennie...(said).

jeenie-please let me alOne and go from here...(said rudely).

lisa-we're not leaving you alone. Whether you want us here or not."

she said and hugged jennie tightly as she misses her old unnie who is so bubbly and happy...soon yn leaves from there as knew both sisters need some time alone.

Jennie lets out a shaky laugh, her defenses slowly crumbling

Jennie:"You are really stubborn."

lisa-"It's a family trait."

Jennie finally smiles, and Lisa pats the space on the bed next to her.

lisa-Come on. Scoot over. i am staying the night."

Jennie:"You really don't have to—"

lisa-i am staying. End of discussion."

Jennie shakes her head but doesn't argue anymore. She pulls the blanket up around her shoulders and lied facing opposite to lisa .

Lisa:"See? This isn't so bad, right?"becoming..the same unnie you were....

she aid looking at fan and hugged jennie .

Jennie:"Yeah... It's not."

she whispered to herself and think it's time to start a new beginning with her siblings forgetting the past her younger siblings need her.

YN walks down the hallway, her footsteps light. She stops in front of Jennie's room, hesitating for a moment before gently pushing the door open. Inside, she sees Jennie and Lisa curled up together on the bed, hugging each other in their sleep.

YN: (whispering to herself) Another broken family...

She looks down, her fingers tightening into fists and promised she would be the one to bring them together.*

IU: (softly) Caught you.

YN tenses for a moment, then sighs, walking toward the door.

YN: I was just... checking on them.

IU steps closer, gently ruffling YN's hair in a sisterly gesture.

IU: (proudly) You've got a big heart, you know that? Even if you try to hide it.

YN looks away, embarrassed, but there's a hint of a smile tugging at her lips.

YN: Don't tell jongsuk..oppa..

IU: (grinning) My lips are sealed.

YN takes one last glance before closing the door softly.

The smell of freshly cooked pancakes fills the kitchen. YN's mom hums softly as she works, flipping pancakes on the stove. Dad stands by the counter, sipping his coffee.

Mom: (softly) They're still not comfortable around me, are they?

Dad: (taking a sip) Give it time. They're not used to this... or you.

Mom: (sighing) I just want us to be a family. But it feels like they don't even want to try.

Dad: They'll come around. Eventually.

The sound of footsteps echoes through the hallway. YN enters the kitchen, followed by IU and Jongsuk, laughing softly. Her usually cold demeanor is replaced with a bright, childish energy as she chats animatedly with her friends.

YN: (giggling) I can't believe you actually did that, Jongsuk!

Jongsuk: (grinning) Hey, I had to. IU dared me.

IU: (laughing) And you didn't even hesitate!

Their laughter fills the room, breaking the morning silence. But as they step into the dining area, they freeze. All eyes are on them—BTS and Blackpink members stare in stunned silence, their expressions a mix of confusion and surprise.
