**A Heart's Dilemma**

Prompt: Adria, a woman wanting a partner, crying from her recent breakup but Jennie from Blackpink told her to meet her ideal type, Suho from EXO,

Adria stared blankly at the rain-soaked window, her heart heavy with the remnants of a love that had crumbled in her hands just weeks before. The soft patter of raindrops against the glass mirrored the storm brewing within her; she felt lost, abandoned in the depths of her thoughts. The end of her relationship had left her feeling hollow, as though a crucial piece of herself had been ripped away. The weight of memories turned sweet to bitter lingered on her mind as she turned to her phone, scrolling through her social media feed in search of distraction. Suddenly, an excited notification popped up. Her best friend, Mia, had tagged her in a post about a fan event featuring none other than Jennie from BLACKPINK. Adria couldn’t quite muster enthusiasm, but with a soft sigh, she opened the post. The image displayed Jennie looking stunning as always, surrounded by a swarm of fans. The caption read, “Catch Jennie while you can! Who knows, she might even tell you where to meet your bias!” Adria smiled despite herself. She had always admired Jennie — the fierce attitude, the undeniable talent, and the way she inspired so many, including Adria on her worst days. Her heart tugged as she recalled those nights spent dancing to BLACKPINK songs, momentarily forgetting her worries, becoming lost in the rhythm of music and friendship. While she had always dreamed of attending one of their events, the thought of facing the crowd felt overwhelming today. She sighed again, feeling the weight of loneliness pressing on her chest. "Maybe I should just take a break from everything," she murmured aloud, glancing at her reflection, eyes puffy from tears. “Or you could consider going!” came a familiar chirpy voice from the side. It was Mia, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. “Adria, this could be just what you need. A little fun, some girl power! Plus, who knows what Jennie might say?” “I don’t know, Mia. I’m still… still not over Eric,” she confessed, her voice wavering. Promising herself she wouldn’t cry again, she blinked away tears stubbornly. “You can’t keep wallowing in sadness! Eric isn’t worth it,” Mia insisted. “Sometimes you just need a push. And I have a feeling that Jennie could give you one." Adria raised an eyebrow, half skeptical and half coaxed. But the flame of curiosity ignited within her. Maybe a slice of joy could somehow stitch the pieces of her heart back together, if only for an afternoon. Deciding to go, she spent the next few hours gearing up for the event, donning her favorite BLACKPINK T-shirt and braiding her hair into pigtails. The line for the event snaked around the building, a testament to the girl group’s massive following. Adria fought through the crowd, adrenaline coursing through her and momentarily drowning out her heavy heart. Moments later, standing before the stage where Jennie would soon appear, she realized her excitement was genuine for the first time in weeks. When Jennie finally burst onto the stage, the crowd erupted in cheers. The energy was palpable, and for a moment, Adria found herself smiling as bright as the sun breaking through the clouds after a storm. She listened intently as Jennie answered questions, her laughter infectious. This particular event had a special segment: a Q&A where chosen fans could ask for advice. “What do you think we should do when we're feeling down?” one enthusiastic fan shouted. Adria chewed her lip, caught in an urge to shout out her own questions. With a glimmer in her eyes, Jennie replied, “You know, I think sometimes you just need to embrace the sadness, but don’t let it hold you back. Life goes on, and there are so many amazing people out there waiting to meet you!” For an inexplicable reason, those words resonated deeply with Adria. Maybe it was the soothing lilt in Jennie’s voice, or perhaps the way she genuinely connected with her fans. That flicker of hope ignited in Adria, a voice whispering that she too needed to move forward. Before she knew it, her hand shot up, and she called out, “Jennie! What if we want to meet our ideal partners?” The crowd grew quiet, and Adria’s heart raced. Had she really just asked that? And worse, what had she put into the universe? Jennie paused thoughtfully, a smile blossoming on her face. “You know what? Sometimes the universe has a funny way of introducing you to your ideal type. Keep your eyes peeled! You never know who might be waiting around the corner.” The moment stung with bittersweetness. Adria felt the familiar pang of longing return, but instead of wallowing, it sparked the ember of determination within her. After the event ended, she and Mia began to weave their way through the throng of fans that filled the surrounding streets. “Hey, why don’t we grab a bite?” Mia suggested. “Sure! I could use something to eat,” Adria replied, the melancholy ever so slowly fading. As they reached a café, the faint sounds of music wrapped around them. Just as she was about to sit down, she noticed a figure leaning at the counter, a man in a black hoodie and cap. Her breath caught. Could it be? A friend nudged her playfully, catching her interest. “That looks like Suho from EXO!” They glanced at each other, eyes wide with disbelief. Adria focused harder. It was him. She felt her heart race; it was as if the universe had conspired to bring her here at this very moment, exactly as Jennie had suggested. “Oh my gosh, I have to say something!” Adria whispered frantically, eyes alight with possibility. Mia grinned, nudging Adria forward. “Go! You might regret it if you don’t.” Adria took a breath, adrenaline surging through her. “Excuse me, are you Suho?” she stammered. He turned, his expression morphing to one of surprise and a hint of amusement. “Yes, I am. And you are?” “Adria,” she breathed, her cheeks warming. “Nice to meet you, Adria! Are you a fan?” As they exchanged words, Adria felt the divide of her past begin to dissolve, woven by laughter and genuine connection. And while she didn’t know where this encounter would lead, the warmth blossomed within her—a reminder that the story of her heart was far from over. Perhaps the universe had just thrown her a lifeline. With a smile on her face and hope filling her spirit, Adria realized that life had a way of guiding us just when we needed it most.
