Love On Fire

Chapter 17 Legendary

Jungkook decided to stop by their mansion to get some clothes. He didn’t want to think about what’s going to happen later but he couldn’t help but feel anxious about it.

Feeling a bit tense, he dialed Seo’s number just for the heck of it.

By the time she answered, he already made it to his bedroom.

“Hello?”

“Ey Seo, I have a question.” Jungkook bluntly asks.

“Who is this?”

“You’re favorite housemate, Jungkook!” He cheered gleefully. Then the line went dead. Jungkook dialed her number again.

“So…I was going to say, I’ll be getting back by dinner and maybe you can cook me some chicken?”

“Who do you think I am, your mother?” Seo retorted, getting pissed early in the morning.

“Come on Seo, it’ll be like our little peace offering.” Jungkook persuaded.

“How can you call that a peace offering? It sounded more like a command to me.” She hissed.

“Hey, I thought we’ve already made up the other night? I can’t believe you’re treating a friend like this.” He sulked enjoying the teasing.

“Friend? You?”

“Yeah.” Jungkook replied and bit his lip. “How about I make a proposal?”

“Oh man, not again.”

“Come on, just hear me out. I promise you will like this.”

“Fine.” She sighed trying to control her emotions.

Jungkook threw a fist in the air. “How about you cook the chicken…and I buy the drinks? Are you more of a coke or a sprite person?”

“Coke.” She couldn’t help but smile at the way they’re talking to each other.

“Okay. Coke it is.”

“Hey Jungkookshi…”

“Yeah?”

Seo was about to be soft to him but then she decided it wasn’t a good idea yet. “YOU BETTER GET HERE ON TIME FOR DINNER!” She yelled and hang up.

Jungkook looked at his phone and smirked. “Tch. Looking forward to seeing you too.”

When he’s finally done getting some clothes, the man he did not expect to be there was there staring down at him.

“Going somewhere?”

The man was standing at his door with a stern look on his face. His stance was domineering and intimidating. And without his glasses on, Jungkook can feel that he won’t be going back to Hobi’s place anytime soon.

“U-uncle…you’re back.” He dropped his bag on the floor and wondered if he can make it out alive in 24 hours.

After a few weeks of being at school, it was the first time Rose went alone to stroll around the campus.  At normal days, Lisa or Jimin would accompany her whenever she had free time. But today, she doesn’t feel like having a company. In fact, she missed having her alone time. She realized that she never really got many other friends besides the girls and BTS. Her being introvert makes things go awkward so it’s really difficult for her to just strike out a conversation.

She was peacefully reading a book by Herman Hesse when she saw some girls stop by the bench across her.

“I feel so cheated today. Midterms are really suffocating.” The girl with the bomber jacket said. Rose gave them a small glance and continued with her reading.

Yeah, midterms were a bit harsh. But she has prepared well for it so she felt like she did well on the exam earlier.

Rose pouted when she realized that she has to make an effort to study harder now because finals week will come by after 14 days. University life is indeed a bit suffocating.

“You know what else is suffocating?”

“Yeah what?”

“People who think they’re all that but don’t really have much substance.”

Rose suddenly felt uncomfortable. Is it just her or the girls’ voices seemed to get louder?  And like what she did earlier, she continued to read the book Namjoon suggested and ignored the group in front of her.

“Some girls really have the guts to act innocent when they’re obviously a fraud.”

“Yeah. And you know what annoys me the most is that they use their dirty bodies to get popular boys wrap around their finger.”

“Don’t worry girls. People like her will get the karma that she deserves. It’s not going to be long when Jiminie oppa realizes that he’s too good for her.”

It’s the mention of Jimin’s name that she tilted her head and realized that it was her that they were talking about. Thinking that leaving is the best option got her avoiding their stares. Rose put the book back on her bag and hugged her pastel pink sweater.

“Park Chaeyoungshi!”

Rose stopped on her tracks when the girl with the bomber jacket called her.

“Don’t think that because you’re dating a BTS member will give you respect around here. You may get him fooled but not us.”

Rose watched as the girl approached her and eyed her from head to toe. “Do yourself a favor and break up with him. Or else, we’ll stop at nothing to ruin you.”

Rose stared at the girl and her friends. She can feel her chest tightening in anger but she refused to get ruled by her overflowing emotion. Instead she let out a breath and put her weight on her right foot. This is what she hates about bullies - their small minds and baseless opinions.

“You’re cute. What's your name again?” She smirked and patted the girl’s head. The girl was surprised at Rose’s actions and snapped her hands away.

“Don’t ing touch me.”

“Then don’t talk to me like you know me.” Rose countered and turned her heels away from them.

“This isn’t over ! Just so you wait and you’ll suffer!” A girl yelled in irritation.

Rose smirked and tossed her hair that only made the girls rage in fury..

Despite being cool about it, she’s worried about the threats that the girls swore. It definitely left an impression on her. So this is the cost of dating a popular guy. Boy she didn’t know it was this stressful, but for Jimin, it’s all worth it.

Jennie and Tzuyu were watching Lisa practice her cat walk for the fashion show today. They needed at least 500 attendees to reach their goal and win over the other team’s event.

“Do you think we’ll win this?” Tzuyu asked Jennie after seeing Lisa and the other girls walk in the runway with their Halloween costumes on.

Jennie nodded assuring Tzuyu. “Trust me it’s going to be unforgettable.”

“I heard the other team was inviting BigBang over. What do we have against that?”

“Don’t worry Tzuyu. We have surprise guests too.” Jennie winked.

Lisa was on the models’ dressing room getting ready for the show. She would be in a good mood today hadn’t her boyfriend decided to ignore her messages and calls. She’s becoming worried because after their date the other day, he suddenly turned cold. Lisa was into deep thinking about Taehyung when she didn’t even notice Chaeyoung arriving at her side.

“LISA!”

“Yeah?” Lisa jumped and snapped out of her small problem.

“I said I got your flowers.” Rose said giving her friend a bouquet to congratulate her in advance. “What’s got your mind in the air?” She added grabbing a seat.

“Nothing. Don’t worry about it.” Lisa assured her. Looking at Rose, she noticed that her friend seem preoccupied as well but she didn’t ask. Lisa knows Rose doesn’t like talking about topics that make people awkward.

“Hey Chaeng, have you seen Taehyungah?”

“Um, I know he’s with Oppa at their place. Why’d you ask?”

“Really, maybe he’s just busy then. I was calling and texting him but he hasn’t called back or replied to any of my messages. Can you please tell Jimin to tell Taehyung that I’m asking about him?”

“Sure. No problem.”

“Thanks.” Lisa said and went to the other seat to get her makeup done.

Jungkook didn’t have the appetite to eat. Even though their dining table was full of imported meat and mouth-watering delicacies, he was hesitant about getting even just a spoon of food. Eating with his uncle makes him uneasy, it’s not his style to be angry but that’s how he’s feeling right now.

“Why did it get to me that your engagement to Tzuyu Chou was cancelled? I hope this isn’t true Jungkookah. Marrying that girl would be beneficial not only to you but to this family.”

His uncle narrated while eating lamb chops.

“It’s true uncle.” He huffed watching his uncle stop in the middle of eating his food.

“You…what did you say?”

Saying the next words would probably get him grounded forever but he has no other choice. Staying in this house makes him feel like a captive, and he won’t ever let anyone dictate over his life again.

“You heard it right uncle. In fact, I sneaked in to your office and ripped that stupid contract. I even learned to hack your phone just to get myself off that engagement.”

“YOU UNGRATEFUL BASTARD!”

Jungkook saw how his Uncle’s hand tremble in anger but this didn’t make him flinch at all. If he wanted to live his own life away from the clutches of his evil uncle, he has to face this fear.

“You know what else uncle? I dropped out from Politics and transferred to Fine Arts because I didn’t like to cheat my way to the top. I’m not like you and I’m not going to be.” Jungkook said and stood up getting his bag.

“JEON JUNGKOOK, COME BACK HERE THIS INSTANT!”

His uncle have followed him to their receiving area and caught his arm.

“You are not stepping out of this house till you’re back to your own senses!” His uncle grumbled.

“And what? You’ll force me to do things again like take up the course I hate and marry some girl I don’t even like? When did you even care for my own happiness uncle? Did you even ask me for what I want and what makes me happy?” Jungkook shouted, his anger creeping out of his skin.

“You know the past few weeks I was happy. I was living simply without inhibitions. Maybe it’s better if you hadn’t come back.” 

“You-”

Jungkook was expecting his uncle to hit him but it never happened. They just continue to stare at each other both in control of their emotions.

“You don’t know anything. You’re just a child.”

“Well, maybe I’ve grown up now.” Jungkook hissed and walked out leaving his uncle in that big depressing mansion.

After that scene with his uncle Jungkook was headed next to Suga's place. On his way, he spotted a cigarette vendor and stopped. The man took notice of him and asked him if he wanted to buy a cigarette.

He was about to reach it when his phone rang. He picked it up without looking at the caller.

“Hey Jungkookshi!”

It was Eunseo.

“Seo? You called?” Jungkook couldn’t tell why but he was relieved. There’s something about Seo that keeps him away from getting into trouble. He walked past the vendor and paid his attention on the other side of the line.

“Oh um, I was just wondering what kind of chicken recipe you’d like. Do you want sweet n spicy, honey glazed…barbeque flavor…”She trailed off.

“I like it all.” He giggled.

“You want it all?” She asked in disbelief. “Aish, you’re making my life difficult.”

“Whatever. You asked for it. I’m expecting to have all those flavors once I get home. Get it?”

“Ugh fine. You’re so pushy. I’m hanging up now. I’m going to be busy.”

“Hey Eunseo wait-”

“What?”

Jungkook smiled and bit his lip. He couldn’t wait for the day to end so he could have dinner with her…and Hobi of course… if his event finishes by 7pm but he doubts it.

“Thanks…”

“Psh. Whatever. Just get the drinks.”

“Okay bye.”

“Bye.”

“See you.”

It was already 12 in the afternoon and Taehyung felt lazy to get out of bed. He has been rereading the messages Lisa sent him on his phone. He has been itching to type a reply but instead of giving in to his emotions, he decided to be focus. A certain phone call interrupted his thoughts – one that he was expecting.

When he saw the name of the caller, he prepared himself for what’s about to come.

“Lay Hyung, what’s up?”

“Hello Taehyungshi…have you thought about what I’ve proposed to you?”

Taehyung was fumbling with the ankle bracelet on his fingers thinking about his favorite girl.

“Yes.”

“Then what’s your call?”

“I want to join the Circle.” Saying those words pricked something inside of him.

“Wise decision. Then I guess you know what you have to do.”

“Don’t worry. I’m on it.”

They both hang up their phones and Taehyung threw the sheets over the other side of his bed. He put on his robes before getting out of his room. He didn’t bother turning the a/c last night because it was already cold.

He went to his living room only to find Jimin and his bags packed up and ready to move out. Seeing that Jimin was carrying a three piece Armani suit meant that he’s going with Jin and the others at the Business Dev’s ball tonight. 

They stared at each other for a second worried for the both of them.

“Chaeyi called…Lisa was asking for you.” Jimin said scratching his head breaking the ice.

“Tell her I’m fine. Just busy.” Taehyung replied looking at some other things. 

Jimin nodded tapping the sides of his phone.

“Um, Suga hyung’s outside to pick me up. You going to be fine here by yourself?”

“Yeah. Don’t worry about me.”

“Okay. I’m going.”

Jimin waved goodbye and pulled his suitcase with him.

“Jiminie!”

“Yeah?”

Taehyung gave his friend one last look and raised a fist.

“No hard feelings?”

Jimin smirked and bumped his fist on Tae’s.

“Of course. It was your decision anyway.” Jimin said patting his best friend’s back. “Good luck Tae!”

“Yeah, see you man.”

Taehyung smiled sadly watching his best friend walk out his loft. He didn’t expect that goodbyes would be this hard. 

Sehun was watching from across Taehyung’s house. He was there to make sure that Taehyung does his job done and seeing that the mochi guy was kicked out of the place was the start of it. He smiled crookedly when he watched Kim Namjoon knock on V’s gate.

He was entertained when he saw the two getting into a serious argument. Finally, their plan is working. He thought that maybe Taehyung must’ve kept his feelings bottled up that’s why he suddenly decided to join their frat. But Sehun also knows that therell be a lot of initiations before V can be a full pledge member. He just couldn’t wait to see how things will turn out.

Jennie was checking the production set to see if everything’s all working fine. She was instructing some staff about how the confetti should be grand and magical. After that she walked over by Tzuyu and Nayeon  who was  talking to the security.

“Please be vigilant. We don’t want our event to end up like last year.” Tzuyu instructed the security.

“Who knows what plot they’re going to pull again?” She sighed.

“Alright, you’re dismissed.” Nayeon said and the guards walk out.

“What is that about?” Jennie asked curiously.

“There’s just these immature guys who keep on trashing our events.” Tzuyu said almost rolling her eyes. “They like to pull pranks on our department.”

“Yeah that and they make fun of us every chance they get.” – Nayeon.

“And who are these people?” – Jennie.

“They call themselves D’Argan Three. I honestly think they’re like some cult of the musketeers. That’s so childish! I mean they really make an effort to destroy our big days! Oh god I’m stressing again, this is not good for my face!” Tzuyu said patting her face gently and walks towards the dressing room.
Jennie turned to Nayeon for more information.

“So these people…they’re anonymous?” Jennie implied.

“Uhuh, some say they’re the school’s black sheep. Other rumors say they’re drop out psychology students. How pitiful right? There must be a reason for them to wear masks other than the anonymity. I bet they’re all fat and ugly!” Nayeon laughed.

Jennie shook her head and turned to her phone when Wonwoo texted her. Her smile automatically appeared.

“That your boyfriend?” Nayeon snooted.

“More of like my business.” Jennie snapped walking away from Nayeon. 

Taehyung was keeping it on the low key surveying the premises of the Business Dev’s Halloween Fashion show. He was dressed as a helper and he was careful not to get noticed. He was cleaning the floors on the second level of the scaffolding stage when his heart jumped at the sight of his girlfriend.
She was already on her costume but her hair and make up wasn’t done yet. He saw her raise her phone to find some signal.

He put his head down and casually pushed the cleaning cart on her direction praying that she will just ignore her.

He was relieved when he successfully passed her by but missing her pained him still. He was about to turn to the exit when 

“Excuse me…”

He stopped and kept his cap low and his mask up to the bridge of his nose. He can feel his sweat on his forehead dripping.

“You dropped your pouch Sir.” 

Taehyung avoided her eyes and kept his head down.

He opened his hand and Lisa gave him the pouch.

“Take care of your belongings Sir! Have a nice day!” She giggled and left.

He just nodded his head and entered the fire exit. He took of his mask and cap carelessly and sat on the floor.

Then V pulled his phone and called Jungkook.

“Phase 1 clear.”

“Copy Jester.”

“Good luck Frank!”

“See you in your costume!”

By the time the clock hit 6pm, students from different departments and universities came flocking at The Entrepreneur’s Ball organized by Lay and his team.

The whole event was glamorous. It was themed like a Hollywood awards show night and even the students are well dressed up for it. There were even photographers stationed by the red carpet entrance to complete that feel of a celebrity.

Suga found Jimin by the far end of the hall scrolling his phone. His friend looked so serious as if all his focus was on his gadget. Suga smirked and surprised his friend by hugging him from behind.

“What the-” Jimin almost shrieked, his hands on his chest. He stared blankly at his Hyung who was laughing at him mercilessly.

“You really scared me there Hyung…” Jimin shook his head and gets away from Suga.

“You’re reaction was funny. Who’s Park Chanyeol?” Suga asks looking at the profile page on Jimin’s phone.

“No one.”Jimin gave him a straight face and put his phone in his coat.

Suga scoffed at Jimin’s mood.

“Oh come on Chim, lighten up. The night’s just starting.” Suga put his arm around his friend and watch the people come and go. “Why don’t you let me know some details about your plans for tonight? Any updates from your prank master?”

“Sorry, but that’s classified info Hyung. You only get to know right after we execute the plan.” Jimin knew what Suga was talking about. His Hyung was the mastermind for their mission last year, but right now it was Namjoon.

“Dang, you’re no fun. I thought I was your friend.”

Suga jokes, punching him lightly on his arm.

“Sorry. Though, I can guarantee you that this one will be legendary.”

“I’ll drink to that!” Suga said raising a champagne flute from one of the waiter’s tray and Jimin as well.

“Honestly, there’s a big possibility that we’ll fail this mission…given the situation, and Jennie Kim.” – Jimin.

“Ah, the ice queen. Tell you what Jiminie…if you and the others play this one well, just think of all the days you can make Jennie Kim remember this night.” Suga said as his stares intensify. “Don’t make her forget.”

“Wow, you’re still not over about your revenge huh?”
Suga nodded bluntly.

Meanwhile, the screaming outside get even louder when they saw that Namjoon and Hobi arrived on the big LCD screen. They were followed by Jin who was with Jisoo on his arms.

“I guess this is my cue to go. I’ll be back in a few. See you Hyung!” Jimin said and disappeared in the crowd.

Jisoo smiles timidly to the photographers by the red carpet. She clutched her hands tightly on her brother’s arm uncomfortably walking passed the crowd. Jin noticed this and put his arm protectively around her.

When they got inside the hall, Jin made a subtle warning.

“Jisooyah, I have a favor to ask you.”

“Yeah? What is it?”

Jin took a good look at his sister and gave out a sigh. “You’ve really grown up. Time went by so fast, you were just a kid before…”

“What is it? What’s with the mushy words?” Jisoo made a face but smiled at her brother.

“It’s just a small thing… I uh, I forgot to lock the house after I stopped by earlier.”

“OPPA!”

The other guests eyed them when Jisoo yelled at her brother.

“You’re kidding right? How could you forget?” Jisoo couldn’t control her voice. She was really annoyed right now.

“I’m sorry Sis. You’re brother’s aging.” Jin said scratching his head. Then he saw Jinyoung coming their way. After what he and his friends discovered, he made sure Jinyoung wouldn’t dare go near his sister.

“Oh, and one more thing darling sister…I bought you something. It’s a present. I left it at home, and it’s really expensive.” Then Jin pushed her towards Hobi. “Hobi here can help you find it.”
Hobi gave him a confused face and Jin just nodded at him.

“You know what to do.” Jin said getting Hobi at an awkward position.

Jisoo can feel the tension between the two guys but when Jin pinched Hobi’s cheek, she was able to smile at the two.

Hobi smirked and raised his fist on him to which Jin bumped back.

“Come on Chichu, but before we get you home, we should at least try the food here.” – Hobi.

“I couldn’t agree more.” – Jisoo.

Jin straightened up his coat and looked up to Jinyoung who was smiling brightly at him. He never really thought Jinyoung would be someone who has a really big secret, but then again, he’s an actor – and a very effective one.

“Why am I not surprised you’re here?” Jin announced and shook Jinyoung’s hand.

“I like to mingle Hyung plus I know Big Bang’s going to be here so, it’s really a pity if I miss it.” Jinyoung said slightly looking over Jin’s shoulder to look for Jisoo.

“I’m sure you’ll get what you’ve come here for. You’re wearing a very expensive suit. It’ll only go to waste if this thing turns out boring.” Jin said fixing the edge of Jinyoung’s suit.

“Well…I could already tell this is going to be a night to remember.” Jinyoung said with a knowing smile. 

Rose and Jennie were waiting for Lisa’s makeup to finish backstage. The show was about to start and some rookie band was rehearsing outside. Rose can feel the excitement rush on her while Jennie was already pissed at some VIP singer.

“If she doesn’t come here on time I’ll be forced to cut her from the show!” Jennie shouted at her phone.

“What happened Unnie?” Rose hushed her friend.

“Wendy’s running late. I don’t think she can make it on time. Hey do you think you can fill in her spot?” Jennie persuaded with goo-goo eyes.

“B-but Unnie, I” Rose’s mind went blank.

Jennie took Rose’s reaction for granted and snapped her fingers to call a stylist. 

“I need someone to do her hair and make up, she’s covering Wendy’s part. Put on some Gucci on her, match it with an A McQueen stiletto. Lastly, have her introduced to Jessi.”

The stylist nodded.

“UNNIE!” Rose yelped but the tall stylist already dragged her inside the dressing room.

“Good luck babe!” Jennie cheered her friend.

Lisa was staring at the beautiful mess that is her Harlequin face on the mirror. She couldn’t appreciate her look even though everyone thinks she’s perfect. Her boyfriend was acting like a jerk these days and it’s making her upset.

Her phone beeped and a message from Jisoo wrote:

Good luck on your very first fashion show! Even though I’m not there I want you to know that Unnie will always support you. FIGHTING!

Lisa gave a soft smile. Jisoo’s message was enough to lift the heavy feeling in her chest. She remembered Jisoo’s words about happiness and that her world shouldn’t revolve around V. So she took Jisoo’s word for it and placed her problems aside.

“If you don’t think I’m important to you now, then you’re not that important to me tonight either.” Lisa said turning of her phone.

She stands up and went outside her dressing room to go to the rest of the models. She was praised by a lot of them and the staff were cheering for her. It was all good vibes when Nayeon went up to her side and hugged her.

“Wow, I’d really give this night to you…”

Then Nayeon pulled her closer and whispered…

“But after this moment, he’s going to be mine. You’ll see.” Nayeon quipped with a crooked grin.

Lisa looked at her sharply. “What are you talking about?”

“Pity.” Nayeon scoffed and left.

She was about to follow Nayeon but she was caught by Tzuyu who was getting the models ready. Instead of gaining confidence, Lisa felt like she’s going to walk in pins and needles instead of her signature boots later.

Jungyeon entered the fashion show event in excitement. She was thankful she made it on time despite everyone having their days off at work. She was looking for her seat when she bumped into someone.

“O Jungkook!”

“Jungyeonie!”

Jungyeon noticed that the boy wasn’t in his normal energetic mood instead, it’s as if he was nervous.

“Are you okay? I thought you’re going with the guys at the other event hall?” She said looking for his other friends. She also noticed that he was clutching a black square thingie that has a red button on the middle on it. Jungkook saw this and hid it inside his coat.

“Y-yeah I was…um, I was just…um…I was…oh right, I just…I lost my way and I entered the wrong tent. I gotta go, bye!” Jungkook chirped and sprinted.

Jungyeon raised her eyebrow and then shrug it off. She finally spotted her seat and patiently waited for the show to start.

Hobi got Jisoo home safely. The girl was relieved to see that her house was still perfectly safe and rob-free.  

“God, my brother’s driving me crazy!” She exclaimed when she saw that even the lights inside the bathroom was still on apart from the gate that was left open.

Hobi smirked and followed her around. 

“Hey Chich, you have any idea what your brother got you?” He asks curious about Jin’s present.

“I thought you knew where it was.” She blurted punching him on his arm. 

“Hey, maybe it’s somewhere in the kitchen!” Hobi beamed and went first to the kicthen.

He stopped at the middle of the kitchen and rubbed his chin. Then Jisoo followed and looked around for something that’s wrapped and shiny.

They were both pacing backwards until their backs bumped each other. 

Jisoo accidentally stepped on his foot and her actions almost made them stumble on the ground but luckily, they landed on the stool. Hobi was suddenly holding her closely in between his legs. 

“I told you every time to not step on my foot. That was rude of you Jisooyah.” Hobi said in a low voice. He knew he was supposed to be focused but right now Jisoo was making it hard for him to.

Jisoo gazes at him unknowingly admiring his face.

Then what he did next scared the butterflies in her. He slowly moved forward making her heart flutter but her mind beat to her first.

“Oppa, what do you think your doing?” She said pushing a finger on his chest.

The moment was clearly ruinned.

JHope cleared his throat before speaking.

“I-I was reaching for the glass! Right!” Hobi got the glass of water which was empty and smelled it.

“Hmm, invisible water is good for the health!” He exclaimed trying to kill the tension.

Jisoo got off him and shook her head. She saw something shine by the corner of the window.

“Oh cool, you found it. What’s inside?”

Jisoo opened the small expensive black box and dropped when she realized what it was.

“Tch. What a show off.” – Hobi.

Jisoo took the BMW car keys and pulled the rolled note out.

Hobi leaned to her side to see what it read.

“To my precious Sister, I cant let you girls use my car all the time so I’m giving you a new one. Isn’t your brother amazing? I could tell I’m the best in the world.

I’m sorry your Oppa didn’t get to protect you at all costs. I felt responsible for being insensitive to your needs. I’m really sorry.

PS.
Don’t make it easy for Hobi. Make him suffer for me.” Jisoo laughed.

“WHAT THE-” Hobi snatched the note and ripped it to pieces.

“Come on let’s check out the car!” She said and pulled his hand with her.

Rap Monster was agitated. He was stretching his neck and pulling his tie in excitement and frustration. What is going on in the other event and why hasn’t Jungkook arrived yet?

He couldn’t even appreciate BigBang performing right now in worry that his friends won’t make it.

“Aren’t you enjoying the performance?”

Namjoon turned around and saw Lay smiling at him with a glass of champagne on his hand.

“Oh, Lay Sunbaenim.” He smiled and looked back on the stage. “ They’re no joke, they really live up to their name.” Namjoon commented.

“They are, aren’t they? Where are your other friends by the way? I hope you guys won’t leave yet. There’ll be a lot of surprises tonight, I hope you won’t miss it all.”

Namjoon stiffened but managed to smile diplomatically. He knows who’s the enemy here and he shouldn’t cower now most especially.

“Leave? Are you kidding? The night has just begun.” He smirked and sighed in relief when he saw Jungkook entering the hall.

“That’s the spirit.” Lay raised his glass and turned his heel around. 

Now, his plan is complete.
