Rose Yang fumed when she realized she had been played by the Devil. The tables were turned against her and she didn't even realize it amidst his seduction. Right after he left, the driver entered the car. She was forced to clamp her mouth shut and silently sulk in the car while vowing to get her revenge.

Her sexual frustration finally died down by the time she arrived at Min Jennie's apartment complex. But that didn't mean she wouldn't torture and torment Park Jimin tonight.

Rosè Yang rang the bell outside of Min Jennie's apartment door. It let out a small rhythm of dings before silence ensued the empty hallway. Frowning at the lack of response, she pressed the doorbell again. Yet again, no one answered. She knew Min Jennie rarely left the house. She was a very light sleeper and the slightest sound could wake her up. Worried that something might have happened to her, she began to type in the passcode to her door. To her pleasant surprise, the passcode hasn't changed in the past three years.

It didn't take long for her to enter her spacious apartment that was covered in darkness. The lights were shut off, which didn't surprise her. The thick, black curtains shut out any sunlight, even though she lived high up in the complex. She flickered on the light and was truly surprised to see how meticulously clean it was. There weren't any spare objects laying around and for once, the trash can wasn't brimming with cup noodles. It was like someone entirely new lived here.

"Or maybe there is someone else..." She whispered to herself upon seeing an unfamiliarly large pair of shoes sitting by the doorway. She changed to the indoor slippers there and headed straight to Min Jennie's bedroom.

Nothing in a billion years would prepare her for the sight she witnessed. From the silhouette of the blankets, there were two bodies.She did a double-take and rubbed her eyes.

'Huh, I must be seeing things.' Closing the door to the room, she paused for five seconds, then opened it again. She saw the same thing.

Letting out a quiet and awkward laugh, she closed the door again. Then opened it. Then closed it. And opened it one last time.

"Damn, this must be the wrong house." She said out-loud, prepared to close the door again.

A voice replied, "Oh. It's you."

Rose Yang could feel her entire world shake at the familiar voice. Swirling around on her heels, complete bewilderment took over her face. She looked like she had seen a ghost. "Kim Taehyung?!" She shrieked, dropping her handbag.

At the loud voice, Min Jennie shifted in her sleep and grumbled, "Who's there?" Her voice was heavy with sleep and deeper than normal.

"Oh my god. Pardon me, I walked into a parallel universe." Rosè Yang laughed awkwardly, slapping herself on the forehead. Right, right, this can't be real. She closed the door again.

A minute later, it opened again and out came Kim Taehyung. He closed the door right behind him, his lips pursed. His hair was disheveled, as expected of bed-hair, but it was oddly parted as if a pair of hands had run through it yesterday. "You didn't see anything."

"Where's my explanation?" She frowned, crossing her arms. Didn't see anything? You wish!

"What's there to explain?" Kim Taehyung kept a firm grasp on the door handle. He stood protectively in front of it, refraining her from walking inside.

"There's everything to explain." She hissed, mindful of her voice so that she didn't wake Min Jennie up. "For example, what the hell happened between you two?"

"You said I should talk to her. So I did."

"And then?"

"And then we got to know each other a lot more. I explained to her and we talked about our..." He trailed off, awkwardly scratching the back of his head.

"This is not what I expected when I said you guys should talk it through." What they did was beyond talking...

Rosè Yang let out a tired sigh, walking to the couch and collapsing down upon it. She wasn't sure how she should react to the news.

A few seconds later the door opened again, revealing a sloppily dressed Min Jennie. The buttons to her pajamas were sloppily done, suggesting she had just worn it hastily. "I smell another rich person." The hacker mumbled, nearly tripping over her feet while walking with one eye open.

"What does a rich person even smell like?" Rosè Yang sighed, running a hand through her hair.

Min Jennie was shaken awake by her voice. Her eyes widened at the sight of her and the only thing he could say was, "Overpriced perfume?"

Rosè Yang gave her good friend a deadpan expression. She didn't look humored by her words. "You have a lot of explaining to do."

"D-do I?" She asked, unnerved by the unexpected appearance of a woman who behaved like her older sister. Thinking about the idea of a sibling, her face became gloomy. It forced her to think about her broken family filled with half-siblings, ruled by an abusive father and a passive mother. She could still remember the days where her body was covered with all sorts of bruises. Her family wasn't that well-off and the only reason Min Jennie was able to enroll in Rosè Yang's prestigious school was because of the scholarship she won.

"Yeah. You do." She pointed towards the smaller couch next to the larger one she was sitting on.

"When did this happen?" Despite the doubtful expression on her face, her voice was still patient and welcoming. It was originally curt but became a bit more understanding when Min Jennie fiddled with the hemline of her shirt.

"A few weeks ago." Min Jennie answered, sitting down. Kim Taehyung didn't seem pleased by the questioning, but he kept his mouth shut and sat beside Min Jennie.

"And you didn't bother to inform me about this?"

"I-I thought you would be angry." Min Jennie really felt like a younger sister being interrogated by her older sister.

"I'm only angry because Kim Taehyung used to--" She cut herself off. Pressing her lips together, she breathed in through her nose and let out a heavy sigh. It wasn't her place to judge them, but it was her place to doubt Kim Taehyung's intentions.

Rosè Yang turned her attention back to Kim Taehyung. "Why did you do it? Why did you bully Jennie in the past?"

Kim Taehyung shared glances with Min Jennie before he finally confessed, "It was because I was confused with my emotions. I was just a stupid teenager who thought the best way to react to their feelings was through useless teasing."

"Teasing?!" Rosè Yang harshly repeated, "You called having your people beat her...teasing?!"

"It was only one time!" Kim Taehyung snarled, "AND it was against my orders. You should know by now that I've had them severely punished."

"And what about the insults and pranks?"

"I was just..." Kim Taehyung sunk into the couch. His voice, barely above a whisper, said, "...trying to get her attention."

"Right." Rosè Yang curtly said, with a slight frown. She turned to Min Jennie, "Are you being forced to do this?" She raised a brow, "I can get you out of this situation." She blinked twice as if to signal her.

"No, I'm not. Don't worry about it." Min Jennie cracked a lopsided, reassuring smile. "I'm a big girl now, I can handle my own problems."

Rosè Yang bit her bottom lip. She was used to having her under her wing that she wasn't prepared for the day that the little bird flew out of its nest. Slowly, she nodded her head. "But if that crazy man does something horrible to you, you let me know. Okay?" She said the last part with a fierce glare towards Kim Taehyung's way.

"Wouldn't dream of it." Kim Taehyung responded.

"Good, or else you'll wake up one day without an eggplant."

Kim Taehyung let out an awkward laughter that trailed off when he saw how solemnly serious this crazy woman was. The laughter died when he realized three important people in his life were attached to her" his lover, his younger sister Tina, and Park Jimin. She was here to stay. He couldn't escape her even if he tried.
