Her heartbreaking last line before she was shot in Episode 6: “Tell the world I was framed.”

──★ The Role That Changed Everything

Sena x Squid Game | The Birth of Seo Hara

In 2020, long before Squid Game became a global phenomenon, director Hwang Dong-hyuk had one particular actress in mind for a new character: Seo Hara—a rising soloist with secrets, scars, and strength buried beneath beauty. The script wasn’t released to the public. It wasn’t sent to agencies. It was delivered personally.

To Sena.

At the time, Sena was already Korea’s It Girl—a member of the co-ed K-pop group SEVENTEEN, a Gucci global ambassador, and the face of high fashion. But acting? She’d never done it before. And that was exactly why Hwang Dong-hyuk wanted her.

“She had that layered sadness in her eyes. Like someone who’s smiled through every storm,” he later said in an interview.

“Seo Hara wasn’t just a character. Sena was her.”

When she received the script at her shared dormitory, she was stunned. She thought it was a mistake. It wasn’t. The role had been written with her in mind.

──★ THE STORY BEHIND HER CHARACTER

Born into an abusive, impoverished home in rural South Korea, Seo Hara born Jin Nari clawed her way into the spotlight with nothing but grit, talent, and unbreakable ambition. At 16, she left home with a suitcase and a dream. She slept in practice rooms. She trained through injuries. She debuted as a soloist—not backed by a major label, but by sheer force of will.

Her breakout hit went viral.

By 23, she was the It Girl—the “Nation’s Voice.” CF deals, luxury campaigns, international tours. Every brand wanted her. Every girl wanted to be her.

But she was never truly accepted. Her poor background made her an outsider in elite circles. People called her lucky. Unworthy. Too ambitious. Too confident.

And when a scandal hit—fabricated, cruel, and calculated—her empire collapsed.

A lawsuit. Public betrayal. Cancelled deals. The media circled like vultures. Everything she bled for vanished.

And then the card came.

──★ HEADLINES FROM HER WORLD

“BREAKING: Star Soloist Seo Hara Under Investigation for Fraud, Embezzlement”

“She always looked too perfect. I knew something was off.”

“Where’s that CEO? Why is she the only one being questioned?”

“StarWorld Entertainment CEO Flees to Dubai Amidst Scandal; Seo Hara’s Legal Team Left Speechless.”

──★ DOWNFALL AND ERASURE

• Betrayed: The man who once called her “his greatest investment” left the country with millions.

• Targeted: Her image was broadcast alongside the word “fraud” in headlines. Fans turned their backs. Brands sued her.

• Destroyed: Her apartment was seized. Her family home was vandalized. Her passport was revoked.

• Abandoned: No idols spoke out for her. Her label deleted her social media overnight.

With no money, no protection, and no way out, Hara disappeared.

──★ ENTRY INTO THE GAMES

Desperate and broken, she lived a ghost life under the table, changing jobs monthly. One night, a masked stranger left a black card at her doorstep. It felt like a trap. It was. But for someone who had already lost everything… what more was there to fear?

──★ THEMES & CHARACTER LAYERS

• The Price of Fame: Fame is a cage. She escaped it—only to find herself trapped in a new kind of hell.

• Identity and Survival: She doesn’t just hide her name—she becomes someone else. But in the Games, the real Hara claws her way back out.

• Trust Issues: She’s hyper-vigilant. Doesn’t sleep around others. Doesn’t speak unless necessary. But her instincts are unmatched.

• Symbol of Modern Cancel Culture: Her story reflects the brutal reality of digital takedowns—especially for women, women from poverty, and self-made public figures.

──★ FRIENDSHIP DYNAMICS IN SQUID GAME

KANG SAE-BYEOK (Player 067)

Despite her fame in the outside world, Seo Hara (Player 067) enters the game alone—stripped of her power, face, and past. But inside the arena of death, she forges three core emotional bonds that shape her arc and deepen the tragedy of her story:

Portrayed by: Jung Ho-yeon

Bond: Survivor Respect → Sisterhood

From the moment Hara and Sae-byeok meet, there’s a quiet tension between them—two guarded women who’ve survived the world in different ways. But as days go on, their rivalry turns into a subtle alliance.

• Sae-byeok sees through her disguise, recognizing the sadness behind her silence.

• Hara respects Sae-byeok’s fierce independence and unshakable loyalty to her younger brother.

JI-YEONG (Player 240)

Portrayed by: Lee Yoo-mi

Bond: Vulnerable Honesty → Found Family

Ji-yeong is the first person who makes Hara laugh in the games. Their bond is immediate—two women who’ve lived through betrayal, abandonment, and silence.

• Ji-yeong nicknames her “pop princess,” joking that she looks like someone who would’ve been on stage.

• Hara shares how she lost her entire career overnight. Ji-yeong, in turn, talks about prison, pain, and how she wanted to be a singer too.

ALI ABDUL (Player 199)

Portrayed by: Anupam Tripathi

Bond: Trust → Protector and Guilt

Ali is the first to show Hara kindness without wanting anything in return. He doesn’t recognize her fame. He only sees someone cold, hungry, and scared.

• He offers her food during the second night. She refuses. He insists.

• They become a unit in the tug-of-war team. Ali says, “You’re strong. Stronger than you think.”

Episode 6: “Gganbu” – Seo Hara’s Death Scene

Players: Seo Hara (054) · Ji-yeong (240) · Kang Sae-byeok (067)

“Choose your partner,” they were told.

But when Hara, Ji-yeong, and Sae-byeok locked hands, they didn’t know they were walking into a death sentence—only one of them would survive.

The guard raises his gun. Ji-yeong screams. Sae-byeok reaches forward—too late.

A single gunshot.

Hara collapses.

Her last words echo as blood pools on the cold floor:

“Tell the world I was framed.”

◛₊⋆ *: The Glory˖⁺₊

──★ Role: PARK YEONA — CHARACTER PROFILE

Relation: Illegitimate younger sister of Park Yeon-jin (played by Lim Ji-yeon)

Background: Fashion designer and former abused child

Affiliation: Park Yeon-jin & Moon Dong-eun

Portrayed By: Sena Lee-Rosè

Debut Appearance: The Glory Season 1 (2022) introduced in final scenes of Season 1

Status: Main Supporting Character / Emotional Catalyst

Breakout Moment: Emotional breakdown and confrontation scene with Park Yeon-jin

Notable Trait: Bruised, emotionally repressed, but fiercely intelligent — uses her talent in fashion to communicate truth when words fail.

How Sena Was Cast as Park Yeona in The Glory

1. Song Hye-kyo’s Real-Life Suggestion

After the explosive success of The Glory Season 1, screenwriter Kim Eun-sook and the production team began conceptualizing Season 2. Song Hye-kyo suggested casting someone who could match her intensity—but twist it with vulnerability.

Her recommendation? Sena.

“We needed someone with quiet rage. Someone who could break on screen but never shatter. Sena was that.” — Director Ahn Gil-ho

Audition? Not Required.

Unlike most actors who go through intense screen tests, Sena was personally offered the role after a confidential dinner meeting with Kim Eun-sook and the producers.

• She was sent a 30-page character dossier with no dialogue — just emotional scenes, bruises, hospital beds, flashbacks, and breakdowns.

• She sent back a self-taped scene of a silent breakdown with no music, one take, no edits.

• That scene made the production team cry.

“We knew within 90 seconds of watching her tape — this was Yeona.” — Kim Eun-sook

Backstory

Park Yeona is the illegitimate younger half-sister of Park Yeon-jin, born from an affair her father had with a seamstress. Raised away from wealth, Yeona grew up in a modest household, struggling to make ends meet while her sister lived lavishly and cruelly.

She was always aware of Yeon-jin’s existence but was forbidden to speak of her bloodline. Despite this, Yeona worked hard to make a name for herself in Seoul’s fashion scene — launching her own independent brand that became a quiet favorite among artists and rising stars.

Abuse & Estrangement

Despite her success, Yeona was never accepted. Yeon-jin once physically bruised her during a confrontation — a secret Yeona kept hidden for years. Their relationship remained bitter and filled with disdain.

Her breakdown scene — where she cries in her studio, covered in fabric scraps and broken glass — trended globally on social media, hailed for its rawness and vulnerability.

“She got everything… and still needed to destroy people. But I’m the one who ended up broken.”

Her Alliance with Dong-eun

When Yeona finds out what her sister and her circle did to Moon Dong-eun, she doesn’t hesitate.

She contacts Dong-eun anonymously, offering insider knowledge and financial leverage through her brand connections. She’s the one who leaks documents that expose Yeon-jin’s real estate fraud, ties to political bribes, and internal abuse within the family foundation.

Yeona becomes Dong-eun’s unexpected but powerful weapon.

“I don’t want revenge. I want peace. But for that, monsters like her need to fall.”

Impact:

Park Yeona’s emotional breakdown scene — where she confesses how Yeon-jin used to burn her with a curling iron and made her apologize for crying — went viral. The scene trended on Korean Twitter and TikTok for over two months. Netizens praised her acting depth, rawness, and chemistry with Song Hye-kyo.

Awards Buzz:

Sena was hailed as a revelation in Korean drama acting for this role, becoming a triple threat: idol, actress, and fashion icon. Her portrayal of Yeona earned her several Best Supporting Actress nominations in Korea and across Asia.

◛₊⋆ *: Velvet Code ˖⁺₊

Genre: Crime · Heist · Action Thriller

Produced by: Wanda Pictures × Tencent Pictures × CJ ENM

Release: Golden Week, 2024

Director: Lou Ye (楼叶)

Runtime: 2h 17m

Languages: Mandarin · Korean · English · French

In 2024, fresh off the global impact of Squid Game and The Glory, Sena made her major motion picture debut in China — not just as an actress, but as a full-blown cinematic phenomenon.

Handpicked by director Lou Ye, she was cast as Léa Tang, an international thief known only by her codename: The Fox. A multilingual art criminal born in Korea, raised in Macau, Léa blends into high society and disappears like smoke.

˖⁺₊ PLOT

The world’s most encrypted diamond sits buried beneath the Louvre’s Shanghai vault exhibit. Only one crew is bold (or desperate) enough to steal it: a fractured team of thieves, ex-agents, and old betrayals.

At the center is Léa — calculating, captivating, and hunted by the very man she once loved.

“You only fall in love with a thief if you’re ready to lose everything.”

The twist? The true target is not the diamond — it’s the secrets buried in who planted it there.

˖⁺₊ CAST

• Sena Lee-Rosè as Léa Tang / “The Fox” — A multilingual art thief who never leaves fingerprints, only whispers. Korean-born, raised in Macau, she is an international ghost.

• Jackson Yee (易烊千玺) as Agent Han Zemin — Interpol’s youngest cyber-intelligence officer. Cold, brilliant, and haunted by a shared past with Léa.

• Liu Yifei (刘亦菲) as Veronica Zhou — Billionaire gallery owner and silent backer of global crime syndicates. Always five steps ahead.

• Tony Leung (梁朝伟) as Chairman Xu — A retired Triad kingpin pulled back in for one last score—his code of honor clashes with modern ruthlessness.

• Zhou Dongyu (周冬雨) as Mei — Léa’s hacker partner. Sharp, loyal, and underestimated.

• Hu Ge (胡歌) as Interpol Agent Lin Cheng — A stoic strategist hunting them all.

What started as a quiet release became a major sleeper hit in China, and within weeks, spread like wildfire across the globe. Chinese audiences praised her charisma and emotional depth, while global critics called her “a new-age action star with the mystique of old Hollywood and the sharpness of Korean screen legends.”

౨ৎ﹒ノ OFFICIAL TITLE — Undisclosed (internally referred to as “The Muse of Movement”)

౨ৎ﹒ノ DURATION — No formal contract; active since 2024

౨ৎ﹒ノ PARTNERSHIP TYPE — Ultra-exclusive muse & silent collaborator

— . ★ Where it began:

“Hermès doesn’t do ambassadors. But in 2024, they made an exception—and her name was Sena.”

In its 180+ year legacy, Hermès has never publicly appointed a brand ambassador. It doesn’t need to. The French fashion house is a fortress of quiet prestige and generational craftsmanship—immune to the noise of celebrity influence.

Until 2024.

That spring, Sena appeared in a high-art editorial for Hermès, wearing archival Chaîne d’ancre pieces. The campaign was nameless, voiceless, almost mythical—yet unmistakably her. No tags. No captions. Just presence.

By June, she was spotted front row at the Hermès FW24 show, seated next to legacy collectors and fashion royalty. Not for press. Not for trend. For presence.

Then came December 12, 2024.

On her birthday, Hermès sent Sena an off-catalogue Birkin 25 in Craie Togo leather with palladium hardware and a personalized handwritten card. The message? Discreet.

But the gesture said it all.

She didn’t buy her way in. She was invited.

Not as a face. As a muse.

— . ★ Aesthetic Aura:

Ivory leather. Sunlight cutting through iron-laced atelier windows. Piano notes in the air.

Sena’s Hermès image is one of quiet excellence—a woman who wears power without raising her voice.

She is the enigma in the room. The locked box with the key hidden in plain sight.

Insiders began referring to her as:

“La Silencieuse.”

The Silent One.

The Only One.

— . ★ Where it began:

In 2018, the world was watching SEVENTEEN rise.

But fashion was watching her.

Sena, the only female member of the co-ed juggernaut SEVENTEEN, was already being referred to as “the visual threat of K-pop.” Yet it wasn’t just music. Gucci saw her before the rest of the industry did styling herself in vintage heels and slouchy coats that felt more editorial than idol.

She signed her first Gucci contract that same year for $5 million - becoming the youngest Korean to represent the house at a global level.

— . ★ Aesthetic Aura:

౨ৎ﹒ Noir elegance.

౨ৎ﹒ Cinematic stillness.

౨ৎ﹒ Power disguised as softness.

From her oxblood patent leather pumps to the velvet bodycon dress she wore under a Tiffany & Co. umbrella, Sena turned every Gucci piece into a weapon of presence.

She wasn’t trying to be seen.

She made the camera come to her.

Her 2023 solo perfume campaign crashed Gucci’s e-commerce site.

The black sunglasses ad? Featured in every airport, Times Square, and Tokyo subway for two quarters straight.

“She’s not a face of Gucci. She’s our language now.” - Gucci Asia-Pacific Lead

— . ★ The Velvet War (2021–2023):

In early 2021, before her Squid Game fame exploded, both Gucci and Versace began privately renegotiating their offers to lock her into long-term exclusive global contracts.

Donatella Versace sent a handwritten letter, calling Sena “the only woman who could wear our gold and make it blush.”

Gucci responded by flying Sena to Florence for a private runway preview and offered her world ambassadorship in all three verticals: fashion, fragrance, and footwear.

Versace offered runway legacy.

Gucci offered full global category control.

Versace wanted exclusivity.

Gucci refused to let go of the girl they spotted first.

Both flew her out.

Both built entire capsule concepts around her.

She signed with both.

In the end, a historic dual contract was signed:

• Gucci: Global World Ambassador – Fashion, Fragrance, Footwear

• Versace: Global World Ambassador – Fashion, Fragrance, Footwear & Media Domination

The deal became known in fashion circles as “The Velvet War.”

౨ৎ﹒ノ DURATION — 4 Years (2021-2025); 4 Years (2025–2029)

— . ★ Where it began:

Versace doesn’t follow trends.

It creates icons.

In 2021, Sena became the first K-pop artist ever appointed as a Global Ambassador for Versace, handpicked by Donatella for her commanding beauty, sharp instinct for fashion, and fearlessly elegant aura.

While luxury brands competed for faces, Versace chose a force.

Sena wasn’t just wearing the brand—she embodied it.

She made her Versace debut in a high-couture editorial for Vogue Italia shot in Milan and lit entirely in chiaroscuro to mirror the mood of her SEVENTEEN performance era. It was unapologetic, cinematic, and unforgettable.

the house of Versace reportedly paid her a staggering $20 million USD for a two-year contract, making her the highest-paid K-pop idol ever to start at the “muse” tier. Industry insiders were stunned by the number, calling it “outrageous” for what’s traditionally considered an entry-level partnership. But Versace knew what they were doing.

— . ★ Aesthetic Aura:

౨ৎ Gold obsession.

౨ৎ Glamour sharpened to a blade.

౨ৎ Femininity, exaggerated and weaponized.

Sena’s Versace era is where elegance starts to snarl.

Think: Medusa heels. Red vinyl lips. Slits high enough to start rumors.

She doesn’t wear danger.

She designs it.

Fans call her “La Fiamma”—the Flame.

— . ★ The Velvet War (with Gucci):

What the public didn’t see:

Gucci had renewed Sena’s ambassadorship earlier that year.

Versace had come with an exclusive couture contract.

Donatella called her “the girl who could wear silk like armor.”

Gucci wanted mass category control.

Versace wanted legacy.

A historic deal was made:

• Gucci: Global World Ambassador – Fashion, Fragrance, Footwear

• Versace: Global World Ambassador – Fashion, Fragrance, Footwear & Media Domination

The industry called it “The Velvet War.”

Donatella called it a draw, only because I was feeling merciful.

— . ★ Impact:

• The 2022 Versace Fall Campaign featuring Sena drove global sales up 210% in Q3 alone

• Her red carpet look at the Venice Film Festival became the most reblogged Versace dress since J.Lo’s 2000 Grammys moment

• Donatella awarded her the Medusa Legacy pin — only 3 women in the world hold it

• Doubled Versace’s market reach in East Asia

• Known as the face of the New Versace

• Fashion press nicknamed her “Medusa Reborn”

• Versace’s Asia-Pacific division recorded an all-time high in luxury footwear sales within the first 3 months of Sena’s debut campaign.

• 2022–2024: Sena-led fragrance launches outperformed industry benchmarks by 212% across Europe and Southeast Asia.

• 18 solo magazine covers shot for Versace campaigns, including Vogue Italia, Harper’s Bazaar China, W Korea, and L’Officiel Paris — all globally distributed.

• “Sena Versace Era” trended worldwide on social media during every Fashion Week she attended between 2022–2025.

— . ★ Where it began:

Handpicked by Nicolas Ghesquière in 2023, Sena made her Louis Vuitton runway debut at the Voyage Beyond show in Paris. She was cast not just as a model—but as the muse of the modern traveler.

Louis Vuitton branded her as “The Velvet Compass,” a symbol of movement, legacy, and curated elegance. Whether arriving at Incheon in custom monogram trunks or closing the Paris runway in head-to-toe archival LV, she turned every appearance into a headline.

— . ★ Aesthetic Aura:

Structured futurism. Dynasty glamour. Global femininity.

Sena’s image with Louis Vuitton redefined fashion diplomacy—she wasn’t dressing to impress, she was dressing to transcend.

Her editorial features often referenced:

• Jet-setting silhouettes & regal luggage pairings

• Clean lines, muted metallics, and commanding silhouettes

• Monogram coats worn like armor, paired with heirloom sunglasses

• Shot in Morocco, Tokyo, Rome — her campaigns whispered power in every time zone

She became the face of “Global Elegance in Transit,” an LV house code centered on female worldbuilders.

— . ★ Impact:

Sena’s arrival at Louis Vuitton wasn’t just anticipated — it restructured the brand’s digital and cultural momentum across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Her influence was immediate and surgical:

• Louis Vuitton Korea’s e-commerce traffic surged by 570% after the Voyage Beyond campaign drop

• LV Monogram Power Suit worn by Sena during SEVENTEEN’s world tour became the #1 most saved outfit on Pinterest Korea 2023

• Her Paris Rooftop Campaign (shot in Monceau) reached 6 billion impressions across X (formerly Twitter), Weibo, and TikTok

• Sales of the Horizon luggage line tripled in Japan, with Sena’s version constantly sold out in pre-orders

• Sena Vuitton Nails trended in beauty spheres — black chrome with miniature monogram detailing, replicated by influencers globally

• Saudi fashion houses and Emirati royals requested private LV screenings after seeing Sena’s campaign — something that hadn’t happened since the “LV x Catherine Deneuve” era

• She was the first Korean woman to close the Louis Vuitton finale show in Paris since its founding

• TIME Fashion 100 (2024) dubbed her “the house’s new axis of luxury motion.”

— . ★ Privilege:

Sena’s Louis Vuitton contract is considered one of the most exclusive and opulent deals in fashion history. Her privileges go beyond perks — they are architectural statements of her influence.

• Her name is engraved in gold script on a vault-locked travel trunk kept in Louis Vuitton’s Paris archive, alongside Catherine Deneuve and Naomi Campbell

• On her 27th birthday, Louis Vuitton gifted her a one-of-a-kind steamer trunk, hand-painted with scenes from her debut stage, sealed with a vintage travel lock dated 1854

• Her pets, Luna & Milo, travel with LV-engraved gold leash charms and are issued custom Louis Vuitton flight tags for international events

• Her personal stylist travels with an exclusive key to the pre-release collection room, allowing Sena to debut pieces months ahead of any editor or celebrity

BREAKING: BTS’s Jungkook And SEVENTEEN’s Sena Reportedly Dating

August 13, 2023 by M. Lee

Dispatch may have uncovered K-pop’s next big couple.

In what could be the biggest idol couple reveal of the year, SEVENTEEN’s Sena and BTS’s Jungkook have been swept up in dating rumors after photos surfaced of the two reportedly on a date.

On August 13, photos began circulating online showing Jungkook and Sena at a quiet restaurant in Hannam-dong. Jungkook wore a beige bucket hat pulled low and a dark jacket, while Sena appeared dressed casually in soft-toned knitwear. In one of the photos, the two appear to be dining closely together, while another blurry yet clear-enough snapshot captures them walking side-by-side late at night Sena’s long hair unmistakable beside Jungkook’s signature build and bucket hat.

The images sent the internet into a frenzy, with fans pointing out that they looked “too comfortable to be just friends.” One photo shows the two leaving the restaurant together, with Sena gently holding onto Jungkook’s arm. Another image from inside the venue shows them deep in conversation.

“They arrived separately but left together. They didn’t seem to be hiding just calm, like this was normal for them,” one witness told the Korean media anonymously.

This isn’t the first time the two have been linked. Fans have long suspected there was something going on between them, pointing out subtle moments across the years shared glances at award shows, overlapping schedules and the two are seen hanging out together often.

Now, with these photos, the speculation has turned into headline news.

Both Big Hit Entertainment and PLEDIS Entertainment were quick to release official statements:

Big Hit : “Jungkook met with a group of close friends that night, including SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu, ASTRO’s Cha Eunwoo, and NCT’s Jaehyun. Sena was also part of the group. The rumors of dating are not true.”

PLEDIS: “It was a friendly get-together. Jungkook and Sena are colleagues and friends. The dating rumors are unfounded.”

Despite the denials, many fans aren’t convinced. Some point out the timing and setting as too coincidental. Others recall previous “denials” from companies that later turned out to be relationships after all.

so stay tuned for more updates!

Here’s the link to read it ✨ I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved writing it!

Thank you again for your support 🫶

[svt-sena]

───── ✶ Strand by Strand

✶ ׅ ࣪  … pairing: Sena & Seungcheol

✶ ׅ ࣪  … setting: Hawaii — Helicopter ride over the island

✶ ׅ ࣪  … genre: fluff, vacation AU, romance, soft butterflies

౨ৎ writing masterlist

The sun was barely peeking over the edge of the ocean when she stepped onto the balcony, hair still tousled from sleep. The breeze carried that humid, floral scent of Hawaii, thick with plumeria and salt. She wore one of his oversized white shirts, sleeves falling over her hands, and her long black hair was left loose down her back like a silken waterfall.

He was already out there waiting—Seungcheol, sitting on the outdoor couch, legs stretched, sunglasses on, sipping cold coffee like he hadn’t been watching the door for the last ten minutes. As soon as he saw her, a smile broke out on his face.

“Come here,” he said, patting the spot between his legs.

Sena didn’t need convincing. She sank onto the cushion, settling between his legs with a sleepy sigh. He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, burying his face in her neck for a moment, pressing a soft kiss just below her ear.

Then his fingers reached for her hair.

It had become a quiet ritual between them—Seungcheol braiding her hair. It wasn’t something she asked for, but he always offered, and she never said no.

He started from the crown, hands gentle and practiced as he separated the strands.

“You know,” he began, “your hair makes me insane.”

She chuckled, leaning back into him, letting him work. “Insane good or insane ‘I’m going to cut it all off’?”

He gave a sharp tug on one section—not painful, just teasing. “Insane like… I can’t think straight around you. The way it moves when you dance. The way you flip it off your shoulders like you don’t know you’re killing me.”

Sena smiled slowly, but didn’t respond. She liked letting him talk when he got like this.

“And the way it smells after you shower?” He dipped forward, nose in her hair now. “That vanilla thing you use? I want to bottle it and wear it like cologne.”

Her laugh bubbled up, head tipping as he kissed the back of her neck.

“Also,” he said between kisses, “this braid I’m doing? Not just for fun.”

“No?”

“No.” He tied off the end with a hair tie. “You’re going to need it secure. We’re going somewhere.”

She turned, one brow raised. “Where?”

He leaned back, smug. “I booked us a private helicopter tour.”

Her jaw dropped. “You’re joking.”

“I don’t joke about aircrafts, babe.” He flashed that boyish grin, clearly proud of himself. “Pack your camera. And wear something that won’t fly up in the wind.”

While she was still processing the fact that she was going to be flying above volcanic cliffs in less than an hour, Mingyu wandered out of the suite shirtless, yawning dramatically.

“Y’all are disgusting this early in the morning,” he said, eyeing the braid and the way Seungcheol was basically wrapped around her.

“You’re just mad you’re not invited,” Sena teased.

Mingyu scoffed. “Please. I’ve got plans—shopping with locals, getting fresh poke, living my best solo life. Enjoy the turbulence.”

The wind roared as the blades spun above them. Sena was bundled in a cropped windbreaker and leggings, braid secured tight and tucked under a cap. Seungcheol had his hand on her lower back the entire time as they boarded the sleek, black helicopter with panoramic glass.

Once they were off the ground, everything felt like it slowed down.

Below them, Hawaii unfolded like a dream—turquoise waters licking white sand, sharp green ridges rising from the earth like dragon spines. The pilot pointed out waterfalls slicing through cliffs, valleys only accessible by air, hidden beaches untouched by tourists.

Sena was glued to the window, breath fogging the glass.

“You okay?” Seungcheol asked through the headset.

She turned to him, eyes wide with awe. “This is insane. It’s so beautiful I want to cry.”

He reached over and took her hand, lifting it to kiss her knuckles. “I wanted you to see it like this. Above the world. Where it’s quiet.”

She stared at him, braid swinging as the wind shifted slightly through the open side vents. “You’re going to ruin me.”

He smiled and kissed her again. “That’s the plan.”

They found a quiet part of the beach, tucked behind a curve of volcanic rock. Seungcheol sat back in the sand while Sena lay between his legs, stretched out, head on his chest. The braid had unraveled during the helicopter ride, and now her long hair was spilling around them, glossy and dark against the golden light.

He played with it absentmindedly, running it through his fingers. “I’m serious, I’m never letting you cut this.”

“You say that like you’d chain me down.”

“Chain? No.” He bent and kissed the top of her head. “Just emotionally manipulate you with affection and forehead kisses.”

Sena laughed and curled closer. “You’re insane.”

“I told you.”

Another kiss. And another. This time, on the side of her throat. Then behind her ear.

“I’ve loved you for a long time,” he murmured. “But this? These moments? I’m in love with you now.”

She didn’t answer with words. Just reached back, took his face in her hands, and kissed him like the world had paused for them. Her braid came loose in the sand, and Seungcheol didn’t care.

He kissed her anyway, strand by strand, again and again.

𓂃 ⋆⑅˚₊ SENA’s DATING HISTORY 𓂃 ⋆⑅˚₊

synopsis࣪ › discover Sena’s love history, from friendship to rivalty, to trust and unspoken feelings

VIEW ON LOVE ━━━ Sena always believed in true love, thanks to the example set by her parents. She’s a romantic at heart, the kind who cries during dramas and still thinks love letters are magic. Even after heartbreak, her faith in soulmates never faded.

◈ SEXUAL ORIENTATION ━━━ Heterosexual

◈ ROMANTIC ORIENTATION ━━━ Heteroromantic

◈ RELATIONSHIP STATUS ━━━ taken

◈ FIRST KISS ━━━ Kian Lee

◈ AGE AT FIRST KISS ━━━ 14 (Int.); 15 (Kor.)

◈ FIRST RELATIONSHIP ━━━ Kian Lee

◈ AGE AT FIRST RELATIONSHIP ━━━ 14 (Int.); 15 (Kor.)

◈ FIRST TIME ━━━ Kian Lee

◈ AGE AT FIRST TIME ━━━ 16 (Int.); 17 (Kor.)

◈ ABOUT KIAN LEE ━━━

Kian Lee was a Korean-American trainee at JYP Entertainment when Sena first arrived in Korea. He was American too — same time zone, same slang, same homesickness.

He was the first person to welcome her. He made her laugh when she missed home, taught her Korean with patience, and always walked her to the dorm late at night after practice.

He helped her adjust to the culture shock, stayed after hours to teach her Korean, and even made flashcards for her with inside jokes only they understood.

Their friendship turned into something deeper. They shared midnight convenience store runs, whispered dreams in stairwells, and secretly held hands behind stage mirrors.

He was her first kiss. Her first boyfriend. Her safe place.

◈ THE BREAKUP ━━━

Kian never debuted. And when the pressure became too much, he left the trainee world quietly. No goodbye, no dramatic scene — just silence.

He told her once, “If I disappear… don’t come looking for me. You’re meant to go farther than I ever could.”

And then he did exactly that — disappeared.

She cried for days.

Then packed her things and transferred to PLEDIS.

He was her beginning.

But not her ending.

He helped her learn Korean.

She helped him believe in love.

But timing wasn’t theirs to choose.

◈ SECOND RELATIONSHIP ━━━

Im Changkyun (I.M) — MONSTA X

⟡ Dated secretly from March 21, 2018 to April 21, 2019

They never confirmed it.

They never denied it either.

Back when Seventeen and Monsta X were promoting at the same music shows, friendships naturally bloomed behind the scenes. Sena, still adjusting to the whirlwind of fame, often kept to herself — polite, quiet, observant. But it didn’t take long for the Monsta X boys to warm up to her, especially since the Seventeen boys had already dubbed her their “13th treasure.”

Changkyun noticed her early on. Maybe it was the way she listened more than she spoke. Or the way she carried herself — confident, but never loud. The boys hung out more and more — shared waiting rooms, backstage laughs, inside jokes.

He didn’t rush it. For months, they were just… friends. Comfortable. Natural. She’d catch him watching her when he thought she wasn’t looking. He’d always remember how she liked her tea, what songs she skipped on playlists, and the exact shade of pink she wore to stage rehearsals.

Then in 2018, he finally confessed.

No grand speech. No pressure. Just: “I think I’ve liked you this whole time. But I didn’t want to say anything unless you felt safe around me first.”

◈ THE RELATIONSHIP ━━━

Sena & I.M were a quiet couple — thoughtful, low-key, and deeply private. There were no scandals, no photos. Only stolen glances at year-end award shows, matching bracelets hidden under sleeves, and lyrics that sounded a little too personal.

He was her grounding force.

She was.

◈ THE BREAKUP

It wasn’t loud.

It wasn’t messy.

Just two artists walking different paths.

He was preparing for comebacks.

She was gearing up for her acting era.

They said goodbye in the only way they knew how:

With a hug at dawn

and a promise not to write about it.

She broke it.

He didn’t mind.

◈ THIRD RELATIONSHIP ━━━

Byeon Woo-seok — Actor, Model

✧ Dated from June 4, 2021 to October 12, 2021

They never announced it & Dispatch didn’t catch them on dates.

They were first spotted at the same Cartier soirée in Seoul — her in a sculpted black gown, him in a velvet suit and signature calmness.

It wasn’t planned. They were seated next to each other.

And according to whispers, they never left each other’s side the entire evening.

June 4th, 2021.

A lowkey dinner in Apgujeong.

That was the start.

They started sharing playlists on Kakao.

He sent her poems.

She sent him voice memos at 3 a.m.

Fans never caught them together.

But they noticed that they started wearing similar items more often.

And he once wore her necklace to an Elle Korea interview.

◈ THE RELATIONSHIP ━━━

It was brief, but beautiful.

A quiet summer filled with off-schedule dates, private dinners, and long conversations in parked cars.

No Dispatch photos. No captions. Just two people figuring each other out in between fame and flights.

He’d send her flowers before every live show.

She once wore his hoodie in a behind-the-scenes video — fans noticed, but the clip was deleted in an hour.

Their relationship felt like a song that never made the album: soft, sweet, and unfinished.

He made her laugh.

◈ THE BREAKUP

It ended quietly in October.

No drama.

No headlines.

Just two people who loved differently.

She chose to walk away — her career was picking up speed, and she didn’t want to drag anyone through it.

He understood and they never spoke about it.

But her October live setlist included a ballad she’d never sung before.

And fans swear he posted a quote from it two days later.

◈ FOURTH RELATIONSHIP ━━━

Park Bo Gum — Actor, Model

✧ Dated from February 12, 2022 to November 12, 2022

Never confirmed.

Never denied.

But the matching CELINE looks spoke volumes.

They looked like they stepped out of a runway editorial—Sena, the K-pop It Girl, and Park Bo Gum, Korea’s favorite son. They met at a CELINE campaign photoshoot and were paired together for a luxury photoshoot in Paris. What started as work quickly turned into late-night calls, secret coffee runs in Seoul, and handwritten notes exchanged between schedules.

Their first interaction was caught on a behind-the-scenes video:

She laughed — not her usual polite smile, but an unguarded, radiant laugh.

He looked stunned for a second before offering his coat off-camera.

That clip was edited out of the final cut.

But fans already had the screenshot.

◈ THE RELATIONSHIP ━━━

Call it a phase. A breath. A pause in time.

They weren’t in love, not in the explosive, world-stopping way.

But there was intimacy in restraint —

The kind that lingers in between takes,

in shared thermoses of tea,

and in the silence after a laugh.

They exchanged playlists, poetry, and designer fittings.

She introduced him to her favorite green tea.

He taught her how to enjoy silence without awkwardness.

They never dated publicly. But the timing, the eye contact at events, and the way they always arrived five minutes apart — it told its own story.

There were rumors, of course.

Stylists whispering. Editors hinting.

Neither confirmed.

Neither denied.

It was a relationship made of margin notes and midnight calls,

the kind where neither party needed answers —

just a moment.

◈ THE BREAKUP

By November 2022, they drifted.

No fights.

Just timing.

She was so busy press conference for Squid Game and comebacks.

He was accepting a lead role.

They met once more before they ended it.

No tears.

Just a long hug and:

“Thank you for the season.”

“You too.”

There are still photos of them in the same front rows, years later.

Never next to each other — but always aligned.

◈ FIFTH RELATIONSHIP ━━━

𝗝𝗘𝗢𝗡 𝗝𝗨𝗡𝗚𝗞𝗢𝗢𝗞

✧ Dated from June 1, 2023 to October 31, 2023

They never confirmed it.

They never denied it either.

Sena and Jungkook had known each other for years. Always friends, always supportive. Their paths crossed often — music shows, award stages, brand dinners, and the occasional studio hangout that would last until sunrise. Fans loved their friendship. Industry insiders called it rare.

When Jungkook asked her to appear in the music video for Seven, fans went feral. The chemistry was undeniable. What they didn’t know was that behind the scenes, something real had already begun.

They started dating privately soon after the MV dropped. It wasn’t rushed—it was slow, steady, and sincere. They never confirmed anything publicly, but moments spoke louder than press releases: the matching Cartier rings, the way he looked at her and he liked one of her Instagram posts.

That was all it took. One second of screen time and Armys were already dissecting it. The outfit. The symbolism. The chemistry. The timeline.

Dating rumors exploded overnight.

And for once… the rumors weren’t completely wrong.

Sena and Jungkook had started seeing each other quietly on June 1, 2023. It wasn’t dramatic. It wasn’t a secret either — not to their friends. It was natural. A soft transition from familiar comfort into something almost romantic.

They weren’t flashy. No matching outfits. No Paris rendezvous. Just late-night studio visits, long drives with shared playlists, and voice notes that made her laugh when she couldn’t sleep.

But love — the real kind — doesn’t always wait its turn.

But by fall, things shifted.

Sena had tried to ignore the feeling, bury it. But the truth always rises. She was falling for someone else—someone unexpected—and she couldn’t keep pretending.

On October 31st, she ended things. Quietly. No drama. No mess. Just a long conversation, a longer hug, and one final promise:

“I’ll always care about you. But I can’t stay if my heart’s no longer here.”

◈ THE ONE — CHOI SEUNGCHEOL ━━━

✧ Dating from December 25, 2024

It took Sena years of almosts, maybes, and what-ifs — but it was always going to be him.

Choi Seungcheol.

The man she’d trained with, laughed with, leaned on.

The one who stayed — even when she didn’t know she needed him to.

In early 2024, Choi Seungcheol — the leader of SEVENTEEN, the calm in Sena’s chaos — looked her in the eyes and told her he was done pretending.

That he had been in love with her for longer than he should’ve.

That watching her fall for everyone but him was the hardest thing he’d ever done.

That he was willing to risk the friendship, the comfort — just for a chance at her.

And Sena?

She didn’t even need to think.

Because if love had a sound, it was his voice in the studio telling her to drink water.

If it had a touch, it was his hand steadying her when her knees gave out during rehearsals.

If it had a face, it was him — eyes soft, smile crooked, heart wide open.

They weren’t rushed.

They didn’t make announcements.

But everyone knew.

You could see it in the way she looked at him like he’d hung the stars.

And in the way he looked at her like she was the stars.

Sena had gone through nearly a decade of near misses.

But when Seungcheol finally said, “I want you,”

She finally realized —

She had always wanted him too.

◈ THE DISPATCH REVEAL ━━━

On a cold January morning in 2025, Dispatch dropped their annual bombshell. But this time, it wasn’t just any scandal. It was them.

No rushed apology. No “we’re just friends.”

Instead, PLEDIS released a short but powerful statement: “Yes, Scoups and Sena are in a relationship built on trust and mutual respect. We ask for your understanding and continued support.”

Fans were stunned — not because they were dating, but because they made sense.

From Dispatch’s reveal to trending hashtags like #SenaCheol, the internet went wild. But through it all, one thing was clear:

Sena wasn’t just his teammate anymore.

She was his person.

. . . ♡ LOLLAPALOOZA BERLIN ! ? 2024

The sun’s golden rays cast a warm glow over Berlin’s cityscape as Lollapalooza buzzed with energy. Fans from all over the world had gathered, the atmosphere crackling with anticipation. SEVENTEEN was set to headline—making history as the first K-pop group to do so—and among them was their standout female member, Sena, whose presence always ignited a special kind of frenzy.

Backstage at the Olympiastadion, the group moved through final preparations. Jun was currently in China, but the energy among the remaining 13 members remained sky-high. Sena, usually calm under pressure, felt the flutter of nerves. It wasn’t just another performance—it was Lollapalooza.

Nearby, Jeonghan noticed her anxiousness and leaned over with a soft smile. “Come on, we’re going to have fun. You promised not to cry, remember?” It was Jeonghan’s final performance before his military enlisted, and Sena had been quiet all morning. He ruffled her hair, coaxing a reluctant laugh from her.

The group circled for their signature pre-show chant. S.Coups, ever the steady leader, looked around at each of them—his gaze lingering just a second longer on Sena—then shouted, “Let’s kill it!”

And they did.

As “Super” blasted across the stadium, Sena’s sleek silhouette took the stage with the rest of the group. Fans screamed. Her movements were sharp and captivating, blending flawlessly with the others despite her unique aura. She was the group’s siren—fluid, powerful, and impossible to look away from.

Mid-set, the members introduced themselves. The cheers got louder with each name, and when Sena stepped forward to speak, she surprised the crowd by shouting in fluent German, “Berlin, seid ihr bereit?! (Are you ready?!)” The audience screamed, half in disbelief, half in awe.

Later, during “HOT,” Sena stunned again—opening the song with a hauntingly powerful solo atop the extended platform. Her rich vocals echoed across the stadium as she sang the intro lines:

“밤이 없는 낮 하늘은 붉은색

모든 세상에 빛은 하나인 듯해 (하나 된 듯이)”

But the real chaos came during the encore. “AJU NICE” turned into a party. DK and Seungkwan were the kings of chaos, bouncing across the stage like human confetti. Dino joined with a jump split, while Hoshi pulled Sena into an impromptu dance battle.

She didn’t hesitate. Sena matched Hoshi’s energy beat for beat, spinning and flipping her hair dramatically. Vernon joined, and suddenly the stage became a frenzy of freestyle, laughter, and pure joy.

The lights had just faded on BSS’s chaotic, joy-filled “Fighting,” and for a few seconds, the stadium dropped into darkness.

No transition. No cue.

Just silence.

Then the screen flashed white.

TRIPLX.

Three letters.

Nothing more.

Not even the fans were ready for what came next.

The bass didn’t ease in. It slammed. Like someone ripped the floor out from under Berlin.

The sound of “Really Really” began—but it wasn’t the bubbly anthem people remembered. It had been gutted and reassembled with a new spine: darker, slower, sexier. The kind of sound that makes you turn around at a party and go “Who is that?”

When the lights returned, Sena stood front and center. A storm of confidence in her wet, waist-length hair clung to her shoulders. She wasn’t just performing. She was possessing the stage.

Behind her, Vernon and Dino flanked the stage—one in white, one in black—mirroring opposites but radiating the same energy. As they strutted in, fans exploded into cheers.

Sena dragged the mic up to her lips, looked directly into the front row, and said—not shouted, just sang

“Really really really really Oh wah”

You could hear people gasping over the music. Phones flew into the air. Fancams started filming like they were archiving history.

By the time the final beat hit, and they turned around, backs to the crowd, heads bowed slightly

Then—just as the show seemed over—the LED screens cut to black.

The stadium dimmed.

White text appeared:

“Sena. In 5 minutes.”

The crowd gasped.

Whispers turned to cheers. Then screams.

After the countdown ended.

The screen lit up again—

5.

4.

3.

2.

1.

SURPRISE.

The stage glowed crimson, a bold heartbeat pulsing across the massive LED structures as the crowd roared. Every spotlight, every beam of red, bathed the audience in feverish anticipation. Lollapalooza had never looked like this before — electric, seductive, and fierce — because Sena was about to take the stage.

Then, the bass dropped.

A sultry remix of her viral hit “Work Bitch” echoed across the stadium, and the center screen lit up with her silhouette. She emerged slowly — a goddess sculpted in gold and pearl, her outfit glimmering with every step. The bodice was molded like a butterfly, ornate and metallic, hugging her like armor. Chains dripped from her shoulders to her waist, catching the lights like stars. Her skirt shimmered with mesh and sequins, reminiscent of a mermaid rising from a myth — powerful, untouchable.

The crowd lost it.

Phones shot up, fans screamed, and chants of “Sena! Sena! Sena!” filled the air. She strutted to the center of the stage, hair cascading over her bare shoulders, her expression cool, composed — and lethal. With a single smirk, she flipped her hair and dove into the chorus, the mic already hot in her hand.

“You wanna live fancy? Live in a big mansion? Party in France?”

She didn’t just perform Work Bitch — she owned it. Every move was precise, every lyric spat with power. The choreography hit hard, but her charisma hit harder. Even the dancers around her faded into the background as she commanded the stage like it was hers alone.

ICONIC MOMENT #1:

Halfway through her dance break, her necklace popped off — and she caught it mid-spin without missing a beat. Crowd went WILD. TikTok edits dropped within minutes.

ICONIC MOMENT #2:

A fan threw a “MOTHER” sign on stage. Sena laughed, picked it up, held it over her head and yelled,

“You better say it louder!”

The entire stadium screamed:

“MOTHER!!!”

As the last beat echoed out, the lights snapped to black.

Then a low growl began — the opening notes of Maneater.

A golden spotlight followed her slow, predatory walk toward the edge of the stage. Sena crouched, locking eyes with a fan in the front row. She winked. The crowd erupted again.

“Maneater, make you work hard… make you spend hard…”

The dance break in “MANEATER” had the crowd chanting her name. Literal chants: “SENA! SENA! SENA!”

Sena didn’t stay for applause. She ended “MANEATER” with a smirk, pointed to the crowd, whispered “See you soon,” blows a kiss—not to the crowd, but subtly, toward the side stage where she knows he’s watching and walked off without looking back.

The crowd stood in stunned silence for two beats—then erupted.

She struts past the curtain, chest heaving, sweat-drenched and glowing.

S.Coups is there.

“Really?” he says, voice low. “That last look was for me?”

She smirks, brushing past him.

“Who else would survive it?”

He grabs her wrist—just for a second. Just enough to pull her back.

“You’re dangerous.”

She leans in, whispering in his ear, “That’s what makes it fun.”

And then she’s gone—off to take photos, leaving him dazed and breathless in her wake.

THE OUTFIT THAT WENT VIRAL

Custom Versace Couture. Mermaid-core fantasy.

• Sculpted butterfly and shell bra in golden hues

• Intricate pearl draping around her shoulders and torso

• Glimmering sequin skirt with hand-embroidered metallic lace

• Chains, crystals, and oceanic details that shimmered with every move

Fashion media outlets dubbed it:

“The most iconic stage outfit of the year.” – VOGUE Korea

“A living sculpture on stage.” – DAZED

“Sena is redefining K-pop soloist fashion.” – Fashionista

versace The face of a legacy. Four years of power, elegance, and unmatched presence. Forever our muse, @senaleerose. 🖤✨

vogueitalia August’s issue features the face of modern luxury. A celebration of legacy, identity, and fearlessness @senaleerose, you made history ✨

donatella_versace My darling @senaleerose, you are strength, beauty, and fashion in one soul. You wear Versace not just on your body but in your heart. Here’s to 4 years of family and many more to come🔱💋🖤

dario_vitale Sena, you’ve made every stitch, silhouette, and statement come alive. Four years of fire and we’re only getting started. 🖤🔥 #VERSACEFamily

ningn1ngprincess sorry but ningning owns this concept. sena’s photos are giving… mid.

↳ senalights__official 🤡 Mid? She’s been global ambassador since 2021. Ningning just joined the table Sena’s been eating at for YEARS.

vsyours__aespa I just feel like Ningning brings that Versace energy. Sena looks too polished… not fierce enough.

↳ seventeenworldwideunit What you’re calling “polished” is called luxury editorial. Not every shoot needs to scream or try hard.

↳ mys4lifez That’s not shade, it’s just opinion. Ningning has presence. It’s not “try hard” if she’s natural at it.

↳ caratcoreline You don’t gotta dim one woman to uplift another. Also… Vogue Italia cover. Try again.

senalights__official Funny how y’all forgot Sena has been the global ambassador since 2021. She walked so others could pose.

voguefashionfiles You can like both. But stop discrediting a woman who’s been killing the fashion game for YEARS. This hate is embarrassing.

vsyours__aespa They both slay but Ningning brings more edge. Sena just feels too brand-safe.

↳ diamondcaratdays If “brand-safe” lands you Vogue Italia covers and 4 years with Versace, then sign me up 🙋‍♀️ Also, they text. Stop fighting battles your fave isn’t even in.

📢 PSA:

The drama is fake. The love is real.

I included fanwar scenes for ✨plot purposes✨ — but I genuinely love the girls of aespa. No hate here. Sena and Ningning are friends in this universe (and in my heart).

Don’t twist it. Stay cute.

───── ✶ Late Night Shenanigans

✶ ︙ summary: One late-night craving turns into a full-blown kitchen adventure.

✶ ︙ pairing: Sena & Seungcheol (feat. Mingyu)

✶ ︙ genre: fluff, vacation AU, slice of life, slow burn, domestic softness, and kitchen disasters

౨ৎ writing masterlist

It started with one sentence.

“I’m hungry,” Sena mumbled, half-asleep, curled into the couch with a blanket pulled over her knees and her cheek smushed into Seungcheol’s shoulder. The TV was still playing reruns of some late-night travel show, but none of them were really watching.

She was dressed in a pink hoodie, fuzzy socks, and a claw clip barely holding her hair up. They’d been in Hawaii for a few days now, and as dreamy as it was, her patience with restaurant food had hit its limit. Every single meal had been dine-out — five-star brunch spots, sushi by the beach, overpriced smoothies. It was cute the first few days. Now? She missed something real. Or at least something not plated with gold flakes.

So Seungcheol, in true dependable fashion, stretched his arms out and said, “Let’s go grocery shopping. I’ll cook for you.”

That was all it took.

Sena looked up like someone had injected her with espresso. “Wait, really? It’s almost midnight”

“Yeah,” he said, already grabbing his keys. “Let’s feed you properly, sweetheart.”

She quickly got up and gave him a quick kiss on his lips. Immediately running to their room to change.

Mingyu, who had been laying upside-down on the couch like a bored cat, perked up. “This should be fun.”

They were out the door in fifteen minutes.

Mingyu showed up wearing slides, a black tank, and a yellow cap that made him look like a gas station employee in the best way.

Seungcheol wore a white long sleeve and sunglasses like he was shielding his eyes from the chaos he’d willingly signed up for.

Sena? Cropped red tee. Dark jeans. Glossy lips. And a Hello Kitty purse because she never goes out looking “normal,” even if it’s just to buy instant ramen.

Mingyu was still laughing as they piled into the rental car, playlist blasting old-school R&B like they were in a late-night road trip movie. Seungcheol was behind the wheel, the image of calm chaos, and Sena was squished in the backseat with Mingyu’s long legs cramping her space.

“Remind me again,” Mingyu said, flipping through the grocery list they didn’t actually make. “We’re shopping for ingredients… for what?”

Seungcheol shrugged. “Whatever she wants.”

Sena leaned forward between the seats. “I want something cozy. Like soup. Or pasta. Something that feels like home.”

The grocery store was practically empty at midnight, which made it perfect for their impromptu chaos. Sena grabbed a bright red cart and promptly jumped on it, riding it down the empty produce aisle while giggling like a kid. Seungcheol trailed after her with a lazy smile, pushing his own cart and filling it with ingredients: garlic, onions, fresh basil, chicken breast, pasta, some random fruit snacks that Mingyu insisted they needed.

Mingyu, meanwhile, had taken over the role of self-appointed photographer.

“Stand by the dairy section and pretend to be doing something aesthetic,” he instructed Sena.

Sena grabbed a bottle of oat milk and posed dramatically. “Am I giving ’domestic goddess’ yet?”

“You’re giving ’chaotic college freshman on her first grocery run,’” Mingyu said, snapping away.

By the time they made it back to the parking garage, Sena was laughing so hard her stomach hurt. She’d grabbed a copy of Radical Optimism on vinyl from the store’s corner display just because the cover looked good—and naturally, Mingyu made her hold it up over her face and pose like it was her own head.

“I feel like I’m on a cooking show,” Seungcheol said, holding up a head of lettuce like it was a trophy.

“You’re the contestant. I’m the taste tester,” Sena shot back, snapping a photo of him in his yellow cap, looking serious over what brand of soy sauce to pick.

Mingyu suddenly popped into frame, tackling Seungcheol into the shopping cart. Sena couldn’t stop laughing as she clicked the shutter, capturing the moment perfectly: chaos in motion.

“I’m posting this,” she declared.

Back at the house, it was game on in the kitchen.

Sena, still determined to be “helpful,” insisted on washing the vegetables. She somehow managed to send half the water across the counter. When Scoups turned to scold her, she grinned and flicked a droplet at him.

“Yah!” he scolded, but his lips twitched.

“You wanted this energy,” Mingyu muttered from the stove, already sautéing onions.

As Seungcheol tossed pasta in the pan and Mingyu reached for the herbs, Sena leaned against the counter, arms folded like she was on break from filming a drama, not halfway through a midnight cooking session.

She had flour on her cheek.

“Seriously though,” Mingyu said, slicing basil with ease, “how the hell did you survive trainee life in JYP if you couldn’t even make ramyeon?”

“I didn’t,” Sena replied with a perfectly straight face. “I just had my parents’ credit cards. I bought food. You know, like a normal rich person.”

Seungcheol nearly dropped the wooden spoon.

“So you never used the trainee dorm kitchen?”

“I used it. To make iced coffee and dry my lashes over the stove.”

“You’re a menace,” Mingyu said, shaking his head.

“That’s why Pledis saved me. I transferred, and you guys cooked. Problem solved.”

Seungcheol looked at Mingyu with mock betrayal.

“We’ve been enablers this whole time.”

“Willing enablers,” Sena added with a smug smirk. “And I always said thank you.”

“Once,” Mingyu mumbled.

“Twice, if the food was good.”

The dining table was a mess—half-prepped salad bowls that never got finished, an open bag of garlic bread no one baked, and sticky fingerprints on Seungcheol’s phone from when Sena tried to “set the mood” with a playlist and accidentally opened Spotify ads instead.

But in the middle of the clutter sat three steaming bowls of garlic butter chicken pasta, each topped with shaved parmesan and a tiny, uneven sprig of parsley because Mingyu said “it makes it look Michelin.”

They all stood around awkwardly for a second, looking at the food like it was a sacred moment.

“Okay,” Sena finally said, hands on her hips. “I feel like we need to take a picture before we mess this up.”

“Already on it,” Mingyu said, holding up his phone and angling it dramatically. “Don’t breathe. Don’t blink. Just sit there and look grateful.”

Seungcheol rolled his eyes but leaned into the moment anyway. “Make sure to tag me. I want the world to know I fed you.”

They eventually sat down, paper napkins folded in half under their forks, Sena’s red handbag still hanging on the back of her chair like a VIP guest.

The first bite was silent.

Then Seungcheol made a low, satisfied hum, nodding. “Okay. Not to be dramatic, but this is fire.”

“This is, like, soulmate-level pasta,” Mingyu added, already halfway through his bowl.

Sena was the last to take a bite. She twirled the noodles around her fork a little too dramatically, pretending she was on a cooking show. “Let’s see if the chef lived up to the hype…”

She paused after chewing.

“…Well?”

“I’d marry you for this,” she said flatly, still chewing.

Mingyu choked on his drink.

Seungcheol blinked. “Noted.”

“Like, seriously,” she went on, ignoring the smirk growing on Seungcheol’s face. “This is the best thing I’ve eaten all week. And that includes the overpriced truffle pancakes from that brunch spot.”

“I told you,” Seungcheol said, sipping his drink casually. “Restaurant food has nothing on a man who knows how to feed you at midnight.”

“Okay, relax,” Mingyu muttered.

They kept eating, laughing over memories of their trainee days—how Seungcheol once tried to boil instant noodles with cold water, or how Mingyu burned a rice cooker twice and blamed the outlet.

At some point, Sena leaned back in her chair, fully stuffed and glowing. “I have to say it again. That. Was. Perfect.”

“You say that like I won’t cook for you again,” Seungcheol said, resting his chin in his palm and watching her with a lazy smile.

Sena raised a brow. “You trying to be husband material or something?”

He grinned, unfazed. “I’ve always been.”

Mingyu let out a fake gag. “And on that note, I’m doing dishes so I don’t have to hear this flirting in 4K.”

“You’re not slick,” Sena said, pointing at him. “You loved every second of this.”

“I loved the pasta,” he clarified, standing up and grabbing bowls. “The flirting? Debatable.”

Seungcheol leaned closer to her, voice low. “Still worth it, though.”

Sena smiled, biting her bottom lip. “Yeah… it was.”

───── ✶ BDZ

。       Setting: SEVENTEEN's Mingyu, DK, Sena, and Jeonghan spotted at TWICE's THIS IS FOR World Tour.

The morning sun spilled through the glass balcony doors of Sena’s apartment, casting golden streaks across her linen sheets. Her alarm had gone off twenty minutes ago, but she hadn’t moved. Not really. She lay curled into the warmth of Seungcheol’s chest, his heartbeat slow beneath her ear.

He didn’t have a packed schedule. She wasn’t rushing to rehearsal. No one was knocking on their phones for a last-minute flight or press briefing. Today was their day off.

Just them. In quiet. In softness.

He ran his fingers through her hair absentmindedly, eyes still closed.

“You’re not getting up?” she murmured.

“Mm,” he replied lazily. “Not if you don’t want to.”

Sena smiled. “I have to meet Mingyu, Dk and Jeonghan later. The TWICE concert?”

He opened one eye. “Right. This Is For. That’s tonight?”

“Yeah,” she nodded. “Jihyo invited me.”

He stretched slightly, the movement shifting the blanket just enough for the morning chill to brush over her bare shoulder. She instinctively leaned into him, and he tightened his arm around her.

“You look too good to go out,” he said, lips grazing her temple.

Sena scoffed lightly. “Don’t start.”

“Too late,” he smirked, pulling her closer until she was under him, her laughter echoing into the room.

The rest of the morning was slow but intimate. Seungcheol brewed coffee while she curled her hair. She tried on three different outfits before finally landing on a cropped slate tank and low-rise pants that hugged her waist perfectly. She didn’t tell him, but she wore his chain underneath her top.

Before leaving, he leaned against the kitchen island and watched her touch up her gloss.

“You sure you want to go?” he teased.

Sena looked over her shoulder. “I’ll be back before you even miss me.”

“That’s impossible,” he replied. “I already do.”

By late afternoon, Sena was in the black SUV heading to the venue. Mingyu sat beside her, scrolling through photos he wasn’t planning to post. DK was across from them, animatedly explaining something about their last variety shoot. Jeonghan was seated on the far side—technically still enlisted, but allowed the weekend off.

Jeonghan wore a ball cap low over his face, hoodie zipped halfway up, trying to keep a low profile. But nothing about their group was low-key.

Especially not when Sena was around.

She wore her confidence like perfume. Her hair flowed in soft waves, braids tucked into the sides with delicate detail.

When they arrived at the venue, security whisked them through the back entrance. Cameras snapped. Fans noticed. The whispers were instant.

“Wait, is that SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu and DK?!”

“SENA IS HERE TOO??”

“JEONGHAN??”

“THAT’S SENA WITH THEM—LOOK AT HER!”

The four of them entered the VIP section just before the second act started, the massive screens glowing in pink and purple hues.

The energy inside the stadium was insane. Seoul was on fire tonight and TWICE’s THIS IS FOR World Tour had taken over the city. Lightsticks glowed like constellations, fans were screaming lyrics, and the moment “Feel Special” started playing, the entire dome shook with excitement.

Midway through Yes or Yes, she caught sight of someone waving frantically from across the lounge.

Aespa’s Winter.

Sena’s face lit up.

Within seconds, she was surrounded—Ningning, Giselle, Minju, Eunbi, and Somi joining one by one. Each hug was warm and brief, not because they didn’t care—but because the music was too loud and the joy was too high.

They didn’t have time to say everything.

But they didn’t need to.

The years they’d spent training, performing, attending award shows, and chasing the same impossible dreams had created a bond that didn’t need explanation. Just presence.

“It’s been months, eonni” Minju said into her ear.

“I know,” Sena replied. “You look insane.”

“So do you. Everyone’s been talking about your recent photos.” Eunbi says with a teasing smile.

Sena shrugged with a grin. “I just breathe.”

The girls laughed, swaying together as BDZ came on. Someone passed her a water bottle, and she tossed her hair back like she was back in training again—sweaty, wild, young, and unbothered.

Sena immediately whipped around with a mischievous grin.

“Oh my God. I’m calling Seungkwan right now,” she said, already unlocking her phone.

“Are you serious?” DK laughed, catching on.

“You already know I am.”

She scrolled to Seungkwan’s contact and hit FaceTime.

Jeonghan leaned in, smirking. “You’re evil.”

“I learned it from the best.”

When the call connected, Seungkwan’s face filled the screen.

“Noona?”

He was backstage at the Hoshi x Woozi fancon in Busan, sitting beside staff, wiping sweat off his forehead. “What are you—”

BDZ! BDZ!

Sena turned her camera around and aimed it at the stage. TWICE was killing it. The crowd was feral.

“THIS COULD BE YOU!” she shouted into the mic.

The camera shook from everyone laughing. DK was nearly crying. Mingyu doubled over. Jeonghan just said, “You’re so evil.”

Seungkwan, wide-eyed and laughing, shouted, “I hate you!” but was smiling so hard it didn’t land.

Then the show had just wrapped up. The final confetti still floated in the air like magic dust as fans slowly exited the dome, still chanting the chorus to “Fancy.”

Sena’s voice was hoarse from screaming, her cheeks aching from smiling too much, but none of that mattered—she was beaming, her heart pounding from excitement and nostalgia.

Security guided her and the boys through a side entrance to the backstage lounge, past rows of stylists packing up cases and dancers greeting friends. Sena tugged her vintage TWICE tee straight as she walked, holding tightly to her lightstick, still lit and buzzing.

And then—

“Sena-yah!”

The familiar voice cut through the buzz, and Sena turned just in time to see Jihyo practically sprinting toward her in her post-performance fit—sweaty, glowing, and stunning.

The two girls collided in a tight hug, both laughing.

“You were in the pit dancing like a maniac,” Jihyo said, pulling back just enough to cup Sena’s face. “I saw you during BDZ. You went feral.”

“Guilty,” Sena grinned. “And I may have FaceTimed Seungkwan during it…”

Jihyo gasped dramatically. “NO WAY.”

“He picked up mid-dance break. I have video.”

“Please send it. That’s going in the group chat immediately.”

The girls laughed until their eyes watered, arms still linked.

[svt-sena]

Just a question, since i couldn’t find that you had a specific like face claim?? i was just curious since in some themes you have like one specific girl you use, and then you switch pretty often? I hope it doesn’t sound like hate 😂 I generally have weird questions, and i wouldn’t be able to live down not having an answer to this stupid question. Love you though ❤️

not a stupid question at all omg 😭 i totally get the curiosity! i don’t really like being tied down to just one face claim for Sena — i like having the freedom to pull inspiration from different people depending on the vibe, aesthetic, or mood of a chapter or theme 🫶🏽 but if i had to say the main one i’ll probably stick with, it’s definitely @xxixuuu on instagram ✨ she fits sena’s look and energy so well! thank you for asking and ily back ❤️‍🔥
