Jennie and Hanbin left the room. Jennie is still mad about the discussion they had She's in the verge of tears when she remembers how guilty she feels about Hanbin. Everyone knows how perfectionist Hanbin is and now he has to face unfair consequences because of her.

They're walking toward the lift. Jennie stops and reaches out Hanbin's hand. Hanbin is taken aback by the sudden movement. Seeing Jennie's expression, he already knows what she's thinking. He holds her hands firmly and smiles. He slowly pulls away from her touch.

"Hanbin I---"

"Don't say sorry. I did it because I can because I want to. I'm responsible for my own decision. So stop. Stop saying sorry to me. Stop blaming yourself."

They ride the lift together. Both of them are silent. Jennie's thinking of calling Kai to inform him what happened. She needs to inform the girls too. Her mom and her lawyer need to be warned as well. She needs to start moving since she doesn't know when and what will happen in the future.

Hanbin is thinking of ways on how to share this information with his members. He doesn't want to disappoint them. But he already did.

They both arrived on the third floor. They bow to each other and say their thanks before parting. Jennie stops to call Chae-young and asks where they are at the moment. Hanbin walks to the room where his members are waiting for him. Before entering the room he hears loud noises and girls laughing. He hesitantly knocks the door and peek to see who is inside.

"Oh Hanbin, you're done already?" Jinhwan said.

"Hanbin-oppa!" Lisa screams.
Hanbin steps forward and still stunned to see BLΛƆKPIИK members in the room. He waves back to Lisa awkwardly with a shy and timid expression. "What the hell happened?" He thought to himself.

"Yah, Hanbin where's Jennie?" Jisoo asks. Their attention shifts from Hanbin to the sudden knock on the door.

"Excuse me." Jennie knocks and opens the door. Like Hanbin, she's puzzled to see iKON
and BLΛƆKPIИK in one room.

"Why are we sharing a room together?" Jennie can't help but asks. The people inside the room groans in disbelief. Here comes Jennie the party pooper of BLΛƆKPIИK.

"Our manager assigns us in this room," Jisoo said. It is known that BLΛƆKPIИK and iKON are not allowed to interact and be seen publicly together. So today is a confusing moment for both groups.

"Which manager?" Jennie asks.

"Sangwon-unnie." Chaeyoung answers. Jennie is satisfied with the answer. Since it's Sangwon's unnie's order, she will follow. She sits beside Lisa and Jisoo. She hugs the girls tightly. The girls know how sad she is and they want to comfort her. They reciprocate Jennie's tight hug.

"Do you want a hug too?" Jinhwan asks Hanbin. He scoffs at his hyung statement. He plops on the couch and closes his eyes. What now? He said to himself.

"Oppa, I saw your dance video that was recently uploaded. I like it." Lisa said to Donghyuk. The two sits together and shares the dance videos they like on youtube.

As usual, Junhoe is the noisemaker, singing songs here and there.

"Junhoe, for once in your life can you please shut up?" Jinhwan said. Junhoe just looks at him amusingly.

Jinhwan is constantly nagging and scolding Junhoe to stop singing but the look of frustration in Jinhwan's face urges Junhoe to sing more. Rosé is entertained to watch Junhoe and Jinhwan bickers.

Jisoo is busy playing a game on her tablet. Bobby is laughing like a maniac while watching Junhoe and Jinhwan.

Hanbin is still sleeping on the couch waiting for their manager. They need to practice their new choreography for their comeback.

Yunhyeong is busy talking to Chanwoo on how youtube works. Jennie is writing a message to her mom.

The room is loud and chaotic.

While Jennie's writing a message to her mom, she's thinking on why their manager allowed them to interact together. Usually, they talk to iKON members behind their manager's back.

The noise halts when Chanwoo received a message from their manager. Everyone including Junhoe momentarily stops what they're doing.

"Hyungs, the manager said we have 1 hour free. He also said that Hanbin-hyung has an announcement to make?" Chanwoo said to his members.

At the same time, the maknae of BLΛƆKPIИK receives seemingly the same instruction from Bokyung, their manager. She shares the information to her members. BLΛƆKPIИK members have an idea what's the announcement is all about but iKON members don't.

"Should we move to a different room to have a private discussion?" Jinhwan asks Hanbin. Hanbin immediately gets up and take a peek on Jennie who is also looking at him. Both of them sigh at the same time.

"Give me a minute Hyung." Hanbin said. The members continue what they're doing. The room became chaotic and unruly once again. Hanbin sent a message to Jennie.

 Hanbin sent a message to Jennie
