The sound of that familiar nickname snapped me out of my clouded thoughts. A warm, comforting voice called out to me, and I raised my gaze to see Jeongyeon standing before me.

"Let's go. You shouldn't be out in the rain, Buddy," Jeongyeon expressed, her eyes reflecting her concern for me.
I flashed my most reassuring smile to let her know I was okay.
"I'm waiting for her, Jeong. I can't leave," I replied, locking eyes with her amber gaze. I knew words alone wouldn't be enough to ease her worry. Instead, I let the seriousness in my eyes convey my determination.
A slight furrow creased my brow as I caught a glimpse of the emotions mirrored in her eyes, mirroring the turmoil within me.
"Nayeon saw her with Kai before the winner was announced. Chanty, Irene, and Rosé all confirmed she was with him earlier," Jeongyeon revealed, prompting me to rise to my feet abruptly.
She's not safe with him. Why is she with him? Could that be why she's not here?

"We asked the other SGC Officers if they had seen her. Wendy mentioned spotting them leaving the campus while she was retrieving something from the parking lot. She saw Jennie getting into Kai's car," Jeongyeon disclosed, her voice tinged with hesitation. It was as though she was gauging my reactions before sharing more.
Suddenly, a wave of weakness washed over my entire body. The weight I had been carrying now made perfect sense.
I lowered my gaze, feeling lost once again. How should I respond? What thoughts should I entertain?

The moment I learned she was with Kai, the initial urge to locate her and ensure her safety dissipated upon hearing that she willingly entered his car. The notion that Kai might be coercing her stirred a desire to act immediately, but she appeared unpressured.
"While we were still at dinner backstage, Irene couldn't shake her unease about Jennie being with Kai. She tried calling her, but there was no answer. However, Jennie texted her, reassuring her that she was just finishing something and not to worry. Yet, we remain clueless about her current whereabouts," Jeongyeon continued, but my focus remained fixed on the ground.
