Chapter 13: Chapter 11

Karaoke Chaos and Spotlight Moments

The post-concert buzz was still alive as the group gathered in the cozy apartment shared by Rosé, Y/N, and Duru. Barış, as usual, had already claimed the couch with a bag of chips, while Duru argued with Arda about who had better taste in music.

Settling In

Rosé: flopping onto the armchair "If anyone tries to make me sing tonight, I’m locking them out."

Barış: dramatically tossing a chip into his mouth "Oh, please. You’ll be the first one with a mic in hand."

Duru: crossing her arms "The real question is, how long until Barış embarrasses himself?"

Kenan leaned against the armrest of the couch, smirking as he watched Y/N quietly sip her water.

Kenan: teasing "You’re awfully quiet. Are you planning your escape?"

Y/N: glancing at him with a small smile "Why escape when I can watch the chaos unfold?"

Kenan: "Fair. But something tells me you won’t stay in the background for long."

Y/N: raising an eyebrow "We’ll see."

Y/N and Rosé Forced to Sing

Duru: clapping her hands "Alright, no more stalling. Y/N, Rosé—you’re up. No arguments."

Y/N: immediately shaking her head "Not happening."

Rosé: "Agreed. We just performed for hours. Let someone else take the spotlight."

Barış: grinning "Exactly why you should sing! You’re already warmed up."

Despite their protests, the group dragged Y/N and Rosé to the karaoke machine. Duru queued up "The Only Exception" by Paramore, recalling Rosé’s iconic cover of the song.

Y/N groaned but finally grabbed the mic.

Y/N: "Fine. But this is the only song I’m doing."

The music began, and Y/N’s soft, emotional voice filled the room. Rosé joined in with harmonies during the chorus, their voices blending beautifully. The group grew quiet, captivated by their heartfelt performance.

Kenan: quietly to Barış "She’s incredible, isn’t she?"

Barış: nodding "Yeah. I can see why she’s the lead."

As the song ended, the room erupted into cheers.

Arda: "Okay, that was amazing. You two are unreal."

Y/N handed the mic back, shaking her head but smiling.

Y/N: "Happy now?"

Rosé: laughing "They always are."

The Group Sings "Forever Young"

Barış: grinning "Alright, my turn to pick. Let’s go big."

He queued up "Forever Young" by Rosé and Y/N’s group (Blackpink), much to their surprise.

Barış: "Everyone’s singing this one. No exceptions."

The group laughed as the music started, with Barış and Duru enthusiastically belting out the first verse. Rosé joined in for the chorus, her voice standing out effortlessly. Y/N sat back, watching with a mix of amusement and pride.

When it came time for Y/N’s rap part (Jennie’s verse), Barış grabbed the mic and turned to her with a mischievous grin.

Barış: handing the mic to Y/N "Your turn, superstar."

Y/N: wide-eyed "What? No way."

Rosé: nudging her "Come on. It’s your part. Own it."

The group started chanting her name, and even Kenan smirked, leaning forward.

Kenan: "Don’t make us beg."

Y/N sighed but grabbed the mic, stepping forward as the beat dropped. Her confidence kicked in as she flawlessly delivered her rap:

Y/N rapped: "Forever young, boy, so we ride or die

끝이 없을 것처럼 달려 너와 나

붉은 sunset, 아래 너는 지금 내 옆에

Pinked out or murdered out like it ain’t a thing..."

Her sharp delivery and commanding presence left everyone speechless, and as she hit the last line, the room erupted into cheers.

Duru: clapping wildly "Okay, Y/N! That was insane."

Rosé: laughing "And you were trying to avoid the spotlight tonight?"

Y/N handed the mic back, shaking her head but smiling.

Y/N: "You’re all impossible."

Kenan: leaning back with a smirk "And you’re impossible to ignore."

A Quiet Balcony Moment

As the group continued their karaoke antics, Y/N stepped out onto the balcony for some air. The cool breeze was refreshing after the energy of the living room. A few moments later, Kenan joined her, leaning casually against the railing.

Kenan: "You’re full of surprises, you know that?"

Y/N: glancing at him "Where did that come from?"

Kenan: "The rap. The way you owned it. You’re incredible, Y/N."

She looked away, her cheeks warming at his words.

Y/N: "It’s just what I do. Nothing special."

Kenan: softly "You’re wrong. It’s special. And you’re more than just good at what you do."

Their conversation was interrupted by Duru yelling from inside.

Duru: "Y/N! Kenan! Get back in here! Barış is trying to freestyle, and it’s a disaster!"

Kenan: chuckling "We should probably save them."

Y/N: smiling "Yeah, let’s go."

Ending the Night

As the group began to leave, Kenan lingered near the door.

Kenan: "Tonight was fun. You were incredible. In the concert and here."

Y/N: softly "Thanks. You weren’t bad yourself—for someone who didn’t sing."

Kenan: smirking "I’ll take it. Goodnight, Y/N."

Y/N: "Goodnight, Kenan."

As the door closed behind him, Y/N leaned against it, her thoughts lingering on his quiet encouragement—and the way he always seemed to notice the little things.

Ending Note

Between the laughter, teasing, and quiet moments, Y/N found herself feeling lighter than she had in weeks. For Kenan, her unassuming brilliance only made his feelings for her grow stronger, even if he wasn’t ready to admit it just yet.

Hey guys so I'm using blackpinks songs and their pictures to describe but you don't have to think like that I just chose them because they are living the life that YN and Rosé are living but you can imagine as someone else oh and please share my story, vote and comment if you like it. İt really means a lot and gives me the motivation to write more thank youu...
