After a few hours, Jack finally came out of the side room, clapping his hands dramatically.
"All done! Come out, Edwin brother!"
The door opened slowly.
Edwin stepped out in a pink dress and wig, his expression completely dead.
Miso gasped. "Oh my god, he's actually… pretty!"
Jack grinned proudly. "Told you I could turn anyone beautiful. Even him."
Arora crossed her arms, her eyes scanning Edwin from top to bottom. "You look great, Edwin."
He blinked. "I do? Am I really beautiful in this thing?"
Arora's lips curved slightly. "Beautiful, gorgeous, perfect for trouble."
Edwin sighed. "Leader… please don't tell me you're sending me out like this. Don't we have another task to do?"
Arora turned her head slightly, her tone calm but cold. "Edwin, when someone plots against you and wins—what do you do?"
Edwin hesitated, frowning. "I'll get revenge, of course. But that doesn't mean you have to do this! Your brother just did something childish. He only wanted his sister to enjoy her life again." Edwin knew it was something to do with kelvin, cause he was the one who planned to leave Arora and Jack alone. He also knew that his leader is not someone who will forgive easily.
Arora's voice sharpened. "Blah, blah, blah—stop it! He deserves this! And this…" she gestured toward him dramatically, "…is more important than me!"
Jack snorted quietly. "That's debatable, babe."
"Quiet," she snapped without looking at him.
Miso cleared her throat nervously. "So… what is this task exactly?"
Arora smiled, slow and wicked. "We're going to see my brother."
Miso blinked. "Okay… and what are we going to do there?"
Arora turned toward the group, her tone low and dangerous. "My brother likes a girl in his hospital, right?"
"Yes," Miso said hesitantly. "Her name's Jennie."
"Perfect," Arora said, walking around the table like a general plotting war. "We're going to sabotage that relationship."
Edwin's eyes widened. "Wait, WHAT!?"
Miso's jaw dropped. "Leader! That's your own brother!"
Arora smirked. "Exactly. And that's why I know where it hurts the most."
Edwin looked panicked. "Leader, come on! You can't seriously mean to ruin his love life—he didn't even do anything that bad!"
Arora leaned forward on the table, her gaze deadly. "He dared to play with me. So I'll make him choke on regret."
Jack leaned back with a laugh. "You're scary when you say things like that, baby."
Ignoring him, Arora continued, "Here's what we'll do. Edwin will go undercover as Kelvin's secret lover."
Edwin went pale. "Secret WHAT!?"
Miso almost choked. "Leader, please! That's too much!"
Arora smirked. "Relax. You'll just pretend to be his old lover who's come back… pregnant."
Edwin froze. "Pregnant!?"
Jack burst out laughing. "Oh, this is going to be so good!"
Miso waved her hands wildly. "No way! Leader, your brother will suffer!"
Arora's eyes glinted with amusement. "That's the plan."
"Leader, I refuse!" Edwin cried. "There's no way I'm doing this!"
"You don't have a say here, Edwin," she said simply, straightening her coat.
Jack leaned toward him with a grin. "Don't worry, brother. I'll make sure you're the prettiest fake baby mama in the city."
"Stop calling me that!" Edwin shouted.
"Alright, alright," Arora said finally. "Listen carefully. When we reach the hospital, everyone should believe Edwin's name is Jennie."
Miso blinked. "Wait, that's the same name as Kelvin's crush—won't that cause confusion?"
Arora gave a wicked smile. "That's exactly what I need."
Edwin threw his hands up. "Leader! This is insanity!"
She turned to the door. "My plan is no plan. The chaos itself is the plan."
Jack smirked. "Then let's go create some chaos, babe."

Meanwhile, at the Hospital...
Kelvin stood near the reception, his nerves clearly visible. Jennie was busy organizing patient files, her long hair swaying as she moved.
"Jennie," Kelvin said softly, "can we go for a date today?"
She didn't even look up. "Why should we?"
Kelvin pouted. "This is the sixty-ninth time I've asked you. Please come with me this once!"
Jennie chuckled lightly. "You're actually counting how many times you've asked me?"
Kelvin scratched his neck sheepishly. "I—I just said it to emphasize—"
She finally turned and smiled. "Fine. Let's go for a date today."
Kelvin froze. "Wait… really?"
"Yes," she said. "Stop looking so surprised."
He grinned. "Hurray! You finally accepted!"
He didn't know what awaited him outside the hospital — his sister marching in with her "pregnant Jennie," Jack looking amused, and a plan that was never really a plan at all.
