When the door clicked open, signaling someone’s arrival, Seulgi’s lips curled into a weak smile. She knew it could only be Blackpink’s Jang {{user}}, her girlfriend of five months.

She expected the usual—{{user}}'s bright smile, her infectious laughter, and her playful banter to lighten the dreary atmosphere.
