Love On Fire

Chapter 21 Fire Back

Namjoon reached for his glass of water the moment he got out of bed. The other night was still lingering to him like a gum stuck on a hair. He maybe all that but he’s not so sure about dealing with girls and drama. To be honest he was scared of Chaeyoung that night. He also realized how Blackpink’s friendship is as tight as theirs.

Thinking about his friends motivates him more to show the people who crossed them that they shouldn’t have messed with him. He smirked as he replays the video that’ll resurrect their dorky asses.

Then he starts laughing diabolically.

“YA! Aren’t you listening to me Kim Namjoon!”

It was Suga who interrupted Namjoon’s little creep show by throwing a pillow on his head.

“Hyung?”

“Tch. I said I can’t pick up Jungkook at the airport this afternoon.” Suga explained that he will be meeting with his girlfriend that’s why he can’t be of service.

“You’re back with your ex?” Namjoon gasped to which Suga rolled his eyes at.

“What? Is it really unbelievable?”

“No, of course not. You see me not believing? I completely believe you hyung.” Namjoon grinned avoiding eye contact.

“Tch. Oh…and be online tonight. I have an announcement to make.”
Suga turned his heel and left Namjoon after he took a chocolate bar from his counter top.

“Weird .” Namjoon sighed. He flinched when Suga peeked open his door.

“I heard that.” 

“Go away hyung before I start to think that one of the maknaes replaced your soul!”

“Hehehe…goodbye Namjoonie.”

RM just stared at the door completely disturbed by his friend’s actions.

“I have a feeling this day will be far from ordinary…”

Jimin fixes his hair and checks his breath while standing outside the Kim’s residence. He smelled the bouquet of pink roses in his hands while thinking about apologizing. He was still very worried about his girlfriend and he doesn’t care if she demanded space because he’s not having that right now.

He rang their doorbell and after a few seconds, Jennie’s poker face greeted him.

“Hi beautiful fairy, is my girlfriend-”

“She’s not here.” Jennie snapped and was about to close the gate when Jimin stopped her.

“Please Jen, I need to see her. I have to know if she’s fine.” Jimin pleaded.

Jennie looked at him with dead eyes but decided to let him in.

“Come inside, we’re having french toasts.” Jennie opened the gate wider and went inside first. Jimin sighed in relief and followed her.

When he got inside the house the memories of what happened that night came to him. He shook it off quickly and headed to the kitchen where he found Jisoo and Jennie. It was weird because it looks like someone died with the aura they’re giving. They just look so glum.

“Have a seat Jiminie.” Jisoo pulled a chair.

“W-where’s Chaeyoungah?” Jimin asks not knowing if he’s going to be afraid of the two or just mope because he felt like he’s going to be choked to death.

“If we tell you that Chaeyoung left Korea, what exactly would you do?” – Jennie

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE LEFT KOREA!?”

“Ey pabo, sit down.” Jisoo gestured her finger for him to sit down.

Jimin gulped and sat back down.

“So…what will you do?” 

“I’ll follow her, use my friends to know where she went if you girls won’t tell me.”

“Great. Because Chaeng and Lisa aren’t here. They moved to an apartment unit Lisa’s brother bought for them.” Jennie smirked.

Jimin scuffled from his seat and out the kitchen. But he paused remembering to thank the girls.

“Hey you two…”

Jen and Jisoo both looked at him with a curious look.

“Thank you…for trusting us with your friends. It really means a lot.”

“Tch. If they won’t give you another chance then you’ll be saying hello to my fist.” Jisoo smirked.

“Just shut up and get yo girl.” Jennie remarked.
“Oh and brother…be sure to get her back here as well. It’s only been 2 days but we missed those two.”

“Don’t worry Jen, we’ll get them back. I won’t take no for an answer.”Jimin said slightly doubting himself. “At least I know Taehyung wouldn’t.”

When he got out their house, he dialed Taehyung’s number and told him the news. Jimin doesn’t know that Tae was only a street behind hiding inside a rental car.

Taehyung picked up his phone and answered Jimin’s call.

“What is it? I’m driving.” He said bluntly.

“Our girls moved out.”

“Pardon?” Taehyung drove his car to the side and parked it. The news surprised him.

“Jennie told me they moved to an apartment Lisa’s brother bought. You know Lisa’s brother right?”

Taehyung gulped at the mention of Lisa’s brother. Whoever it would be, anyone’s better but Minho.

“Y-yeah…”

“Dude, we need to look for them.”

“M-maybe we should think about this first…” Taehyung suggested scared of the people he might encounter along Lisa’s new place.

“What? Man, did you just hesitate?” Jimin paused on his tracks surprised about his friend’s reaction. “I totally didn’t expect this from you.”

“Bro, I’m not hesitating. I’ll go with you and look for the girls if you want. It’s just…it’s family peeps bro. Tell me you did not chicken out when you met Rose’s parents then I won’t demand an apology.”

Jimin acknowledged his point in silence.

“See! Apologize to me Park Jimin.”

“S-sorry.”

“In korean!”

“AIIIIISH!!!” Jimin shouted and ended the call.

Taehyung looked at his phone seeing that the call has already ended. His face grunts in pain thinking about having to face Lisa’s brother again.
He dialed her number in case she picks up.

At Lisa and Rosé’s apartment, the two of them are still upset about the current situation which is their friends and boyfriends betraying them. However, at the back of their minds they know that it’ll be soon before they’ll forgive them. Both she and Chaeng only needed time to breathe. 

“You sure you girls don’t need anything. I can get my personal maid to cook for you downstairs.” Johnny offered and smiled warmly at Rosé. The latter bowed her head and get behind Lisa. 

“No Johnny, we’ll eat at school. And stop flirting with my best friend!”

“Aigoo my sister is so cute. I’ll see you tomorrow Sis, Rosé.” Johnny winked at Rosé and headed toward the door.

“For chrisakes, she has a boyfriend!”
Rosé doesn’t know how to react. It was weird that Lisa’s brother was having the hots on her. It was uncanny and uncomfortable. She suddenly wanted to go home. 

It was only then that Lisa noticed that her phone was glowing. She took it from the table and saw 5 missed calls from V.

She sighed and watch it ring again for the 6th time. 

“Taste your own medicine idiot.” Lisa rolled her eyes and dropped her phone inside a voluptuous vase. 

Rosé saw this and gasped. “How do you expect me to call you now? Aish. Stupid elephant girl…” Rosé mumbled to herself as she walks out their place. 

Nayeon smiled to herself when she hears people talk about the latest post of her famous blog. Of course she didn’t reveal herself as the admin of the site. She made it look like she was a victim of it just by publishing the story.

It was piece of cake.

Her eyes glistened in excitement when she saw V walking towards her direction. He was so perfect and ethereal. Watching him walk got her thinking that maybe, this is the start of their romantic story…

“Oppa I-”

She heard some girls giggle when Taehyung shamelessly ignored and walked passed by her. She bit her lip to control her anger.

“Guess it was just one sided after all.” A girl sighed and her companions laughed along with her. Nayeon couldn’t help but defend herself.

“He didn’t see me.” Nayeon cleared . “You know he’s busy with finals…t-that’s why he’s in a hurry.”

“No one asked for your opinion. You’re obviously asking for heaven to come to earth. V-oppa won’t bother paying attention to a low class like you!” The girl with a pixie hair said.

“You’re wrong he loves me and you’re all just jealous.” She spat and left. But even before she can go completely far, one of the girls caught her arm.

“Let me go you dirty !” Nayeon yelled.

“You’re worst than an obsessed fan. We all know V-oppa has a girlfriend but it’s certainly not you.”

“Hey, what’s going on there?”

“J-jimin oppa!”

“Are you girls bullying her?” Jimin pried and looked at each of them.

“They were!” Nayeon pouted leaning to Jimin’s arms.

“We were just telling her the truth oppa.” One girl defended.

“Aigoo…stop fighting. Gosh, this is the worst day ever.” He ranted and pushed his hair back.

The girls all watch as Jimin went his way to his class.

“You know…if I won’t end up with V, I’ll just get Jimin. I’ll sleep with all of them if I can because I can! Now you can all just die of envy because I get to touch all your oppas while I’m with them…enjoying one another.” She giggled teasingly.

“You’re sick!” The girl with a pixie hair shouted and her friends grabbed her before she can lunge at Nayeon.

“Goodbye ladies…I hope we don’t see each other again.”

“Would they turn up today?” Hobi thought about Rosé and Lisa coming for practice. He messaged them this morning about rehearsals but he never got a reply. He was stretching in front of the mirror getting ready to do the thing he does best - dancing.

“Oppa, what are we practicing today?” Seo asked when she finished her workout.

He specifically scheduled a different time for the girls so he wouldn’t worry about his other crew members singling them out. As for Jimin, he’s not sure if he’s going to attend practice or not. For he knows that the guy has a lab class, he probably won’t be present. More to that, Rosé’s still mad at him so he probably won’t be here.

“Poppin.” He answered shortly. He looked at his watch to see that the other two will probably won’t show up.

“Seo, turn on the music.”

“But Lisa and Chaeng unnie aren’t here yet.”

“They probably won’t be here. The music, please…”

Just before Seo could turn on the player, the door slid open revealing Lisa and Rosé.

“Sorry we’re late. We had trouble looking for a ride.” Lisa explained and dropped her bags on the corner.

Rosé was relieved that Jimin wasn’t there. She took off her jacket and greeted Seo.

Hobi smiled in amusement. These girls are professionals.

“Perfect. We were just about to start. You girls follow my lead okay. This is just a warm up.” Hobi instructed shaking his hips.

“I hope I can take you seriously…” Lisa whispered that made her comrades giggle.

“Ey! No chit chat!” Hobi snapped at them.

“Cue music!”

10 minutes in and Rosé can feel her body breaking in to sweat. 

“Not bad Hobsters, these warm up helps in dance breaks! Wooo!” Lisa cheered and did a wave with her arms and legs.

“What did you just call me?” Hobi scrunched his face at Lisa.

“Hobsters oppa, it suits you.” Rosé teased and high fived Lisa.

“Captain Hobsters.” Seo muttered but it reached everyone’s ears.

Their banter caused an uproar of laughter. 

“How I wish Jimin’s here. I feel completely alone and bullied.” Hobi whispered to himself.

“Okay! We’ll do this again in 20.”

“Minutes?” – Rosé.

“Repetitions.” Hobi smirked as he heard the girls groaned in refusal.

“It’s not that difficult guys…” Lisa remarked. She’s the only one enjoying this.

They were at their 11th reps when Jimin showed up. Rosé almost lost her rhythm.

“Ey vice captain! So glad you can join!” Hobi called welcoming Jimin who greeted him with a nod.

“I’ll just watch from behind. You guys go ahead.” 

Jimin’s flat tone made Rosé flinched. What’s wrong with him?, she thought.

After the warm up, Hoseok then taught them the first half of their latest choreography. The song was a remix of Coco by Meek Mill and it was far from a beginner’s skill.

Rosé was a bit bothered by the way Jimin was seriously paying attention to their dance. She couldn’t seem to focus on what she’s doing because his presence was too intimidating.

When Rosé kept making mistakes, Hobi patiently attends to her but Jimin just keeps having a straight face.
Lisa and Seo doesn’t seem to be having a difficult time. The two of them got the steps right away.

“Let’s call it a day girls. I’ll let you guys meet the crew tomorrow.” Hobi said reaching for his towel. He was concerned about Jimin. Something obviously happened to this guy.

“See you girls. I’ll go first, I have clinic duties today.” Lisa bid them goodbye and thanked everyone.

“Do you still have classes Oppa?” Seo asks her cousin.

While the two relatives talk, Rosé couldn’t help but glance at her boyfriend who was giving her a deadpan look.

She frowned and ignored the guy.
“Yeah, I still have a class.” Hobi said to his cousin and ruffled her hair. “Good job today my Seo.”

“I should go home then.” Seo scrunched up her nose at him.

As Rosé was packing her stuff, she felt Jimin move and she saw him stopped in front of the mirror. 

“Play the song.” 

Hobi’s eyes keeps looking at the couple when he realized that this is the matter. These two have unspoken problems that needs to be addressed. And fast.

He played the song and Jimin danced to the beat with a unique style and discipline. Rosé jaw almost dropped in awe. She needed to remind herself that she’s resisting this guy.

“Wow.” -Seo.

“Now that’s how you do it.” Hobi clapped his hands and tried to hug Jimin when the boy ignored him and turned to Rosé.

“If you just joined our crew just for the heck of it then I’m telling you now that this isn’t for you.” He said inching forward to her.

Seo and Hobi looked at each other unsure about what’s happening.

“Where the hell is this coming from?” Rosé scoffed and before she can finish zipping her bag, Jimin caught her arm and made her face him.

“Were you really serious about this or are you just playing with me?” He said, his voice rising.

“What are you talking about?” She yelled back. “Is this still because of the dance because I don’t know why I’m out of it either! It’s probably your fault!”

“Ugh, guys-” Hobi gulped trying to stop the arguments.

“Gotta go Oppa! See you at home.” Seo chanted as she rapidly reached for the door.

“Why didn’t you tell me you and Lisa moved out? And more importantly, who’s that guy earlier?!?!”

Hobi was now sure that he’s in the middle of a lover’s quarrel. He slowly made his way to the door and locked the two from the outside.

“You don’t get it! Of course we have to move out, how can you expect us to live peacefully in that house when there are issues between me and my friends! We needed space Jiminah. From them and from you!” Rosé retorted. She saw him brushed his hair back in frustration. Only she doesn’t find it normal because when he does it, he becomes even hotter and ier.

She cursed herself for such thoughts.

“I’m going.” Rosé announced but Jimin still wanted another round.
This time he pinned her to the wall holding both her arms at her back. 

“So who’s that guy then? Was that Park Chanyeol?” Jimin asked with full of sarcasm.

“What? I haven’t even saw Chanyeolie-” Rosé’s voice was cut when he leaned his face closer to her as if their position wasn’t close enough.

“That guy who opened the car door for you. Who drove you and Lisa to school, that insolent guy. I saw you from my class and I know from the way he stares at you, he likes you.” Jimin said trying to calm himself by looking at her lips.

“Oh, that’s Johnny.”

“Who’s that?”

“Lisa’s brother. He owns the apartment we’re staying at.”

“You’re living with another-”

“Will you calm down please. You’re getting dramatic.” 

“I am calm!”

“No you’re definitely not. Your nose flares up when you’re mad. And your eyes…”

Jimin starts to calm down when he saw a little smile on her lips. He loosened his hold and he leaned his forehead on hers.

“Your eyes tell me more than what you say. They speak volumes.” She whispered caressing his eyes.

“You alright now?” She smiled and watches him breathe.

“I don’t know what’s happening to us Rosé.” Jimin released his hold on her and sat in front of the mirror. “Do you still love me?” He said, his insecurities attacking him again.

Rosé dropped her bags on the floor and went behind him so she can reach him for an embrace.

“My small little Jiminie.” She hummed on his shoulder. “I’m sorry. Were you jealous?”

“You’re not answering my question.” He hissed.

“I love you stupid.”

“Tch.”

Seo was having a difficult time trying to find the restroom in the university when she bumped into V.

“O- Lisa unnie’s idiot!”

“Huh?” V gave her a judging look.

“Oh, pardon. You’re V-shi right?” Seo grinned apologetically.

She was taken a back when he suddenly dragged her into a less crowded alleyway.

“Eunseoshi, you’ve seen my girlfriend?” He asked her with a breathtaking gaze. Eunseo wasn’t an exemption to his fangirls. Because she too was captivated by his handsome face that she felt like she’d drool any moment now. She wonders how Lisa manages to stare back in his eyes without trembling. 

“U-um, I was with her earlier. But s-she left. She said something about clinic duties.”

“Cool. Thanks Eunseo-shi!” Taehyung smiled at her and was about to sprint when Seo called him back.

“Um, can you please show me where the restroom is? I really need to pee.” 

On their way to the rest room, Seo pulled out her phone to see yet another notification. Seems like her instagram account gained a lurker. 

This guy named yellowcoconut keeps leaving comical nonsense on some of her photos. She read his latest comment that says: your feet is probably as big as Goliath! Kekeke!

Se shuts her phone off and put it back inside her pocket.

“V-shi, why are you behaving like a jerk to Lisa unnie? You know they moved out and now they’re staying at her brother Johnny’s  place. It looks like she’s really mad at you. She doesn’t even want me mentioning BTS’s name, especially yours. But I guess my cousin’s an exemption.”

“Mmm, I heard from Jimin she joined their dance crew. We just had a misunderstanding Seo that’s why I need to talk to her. It’s been 2 days.” He said while his hands remain on his hips. “So the brother is Johnny huh. I guess I can handle that one.” He talked to himself. They finally reached the restrooms and Seo was more than relieved.

“Thanks V-shi!” Seo bowed and Taehyung ruffled her hair. They were both unaware of Nayeon who was watching them from a distance.

“You’re welcome! Oh and one more thing…that yellowcoconut dude on your instagram. He’s coming back today.”

“What? You know that creep?” She called before getting inside the comfort room. 

V just shrugged and left.

“You can’t be with other girls. I’ve marked you mine and you’re only mine to have.” Nayeon gritted her teeth looking at Taehyung. She took a photo of Seo and saved it in her phone.

Jennie was at the hospital that day getting a report from Seungwoo – the guy who Jungkook allegedly ran over.

“He’s the guy who wanted me dead. I swear these little rats are going beyond the line.” Seungwoo told Jennie. It looks like The Circle really wanted to get rid of BTS by framing Jungkook. Because if Seungwoo dies, Jungkook will surely have a nasty record. And if that happens, he can say goodbye to his bright future.

Jennie was staring at the picture of the suspect. It was Lee Taeyong. He was the one Suga caught in the camera shop.

“That punk really wanted me dead. He tried to remove my oxygen mask!” Seungwoo exclaimed.

Jennie sighed and stared at him with piercing eyes.

“Ya, you’re not really dying. Even if he does that, you still won’t die.”

“Yeah, but what if the situation is different? These people needs a beating! If I’m staying in that school, I can’t handle it if there would be guys like him. Such a buzzkill.” 

Jennie understands his sentiments. It would really be a discomfort knowing that someone like The Circle exists but you simply can’t eradicate them just because you know it’ll cause a lot more trouble.

“Since we got almost everything we need for our little revenge, shouldn’t it be best if we tell your friends that all of this was just an act?” He wondered, curious about Jennie’s other friends.

“Hmm, they already knew. And it was a mess. Our little lie fire back at us.”

“Ouch.”

The knock on the door got Jennie off her seat. She signaled Seungwoo to get back to acting and fixed herself.
When she opened the door she was greeted by the most handsome man in her life.

“You like flowers ri-”

“Dickhead, your back!” She attacked Wonwoo with a big hug.

Wonwoo carried her inside and closed the door. “I missed you too Jen-jen.” 

Jennie didn’t care that Seungwoo was there when she cupped her fiancé’s face and kissed him.

Wonwoo was caught off guard at the sudden kiss but soon enough he was kissing her back just as passionately.

Jennie was so lost in the moment especially when she felt his tongue entering . She pulled him even closer and was even .

“WOAH WOAH WOAH! HELLO, NOT TO BE RUDE OR ANYTHING BUT I’M STILL HERE! I DON’T WANT TO WITNESS ANY RATED 18 ACTION IN CASE YOU WANT TO KNOW!” Seungwoo got off the bed and pulled Wonwoo from his girl.

“Stop, stop, stop! Aish.” He scolded them and hits Wonwoo’s head with a scrolled paper.

“Sorry hyung.” Wonwoo smirked and cleared his throat. His eyes then wandered to Jennie. He reached for her hand but Seungwoo blocked his view so he ended up grabbing Seungwoo’s hand instead.

“May I have a word.” Seunwoo said his eyes widening at him. “I have to tell you something. It’s frat stuff.”

Wonwoo looked at Jennie for permission and the girl gave him a curt nod.

“I’ll meet you outside sweetheart.” He told her while handing her his car keys.

Jennie went out of the room feeling light headed. She really missed him that she forgot that they weren’t alone inside the room.

She continued her pace until she reached the hospital’s parking space. She looked for his car but she couldn’t spot his Mercedez. So when she pressed the button on the keys, it was then that she realized that it wasn’t a car key that she was holding. 

She gasped in awe when she spotted his vintage motorbike.

Lisa can feel her muscle pains from the dancing earlier. It’s been long since she danced hard like this. Though she’s still got the talent, her body seems to lack exercise.

She was punching the aching pain at the back of her shoulders when an unusual sight appeared before the door.

It was Bambam assisting an unconscious Taehyung inside her clinic. Lisa stood up in shock.

“What happened?” She asked helping Bambam assist the taller guy.

“He came up to me asking for a hamburger and so when I didn’t give him one, he fainted on the spot.” Bambam explained.

“Let’s put him to bed.” Lisa said as she listened to Bambam.

------ what really happened ------
“Hey you!” Taehyung called Bambam like some gangster does on action movies.

“What’s your problem?”

“After this, take me to the clinic and tell Lisa that you refused to give me burgers.” Taehyung said not caring if Bambam would regard him as a weird specie.

“Tss, we’re not friends.” Bambam dismissed V and continued with his gaming on his phone.

“Help me and I’ll give you Minah’s number.” 

“How the fu-”

“Help me or I’ll tell her your gay and your chances of getting the girl you like will go from hero to zero.”

Bambam shut off his phone and turned to V.

“Okay, what do you want?”

-----end-----

When they settled V on the bed, Lisa felt his forehead and checked his pulse.

“His temperature’s normal. And his heart rate’s fine.”

Bambam was scratching his head as he watches over V.

“Did you guys eat something?” She asks and the conscious one shook his head.

“Ah, maybe that’s the reason why he fainted. I think he’s…h-he’s starving himself. Yes, that’s it!” Bambam gleefully jumps snapping his fingers at the same time.

He sat at the end of V’s bed sharing his thoughts to Lisa.

“Lisa-shi, I think he’s doing this because of his undying adoration for you. He’s becoming madly insane, so if I were you when he wakes up, snap it out of him and crush his heart so he’ll-”

Bambam yelped when he was kicked off by V’s sudden movement.

Taehyung lazily got up to sit and rubbed his eyes. “Hmmm, where am I?”

“Oh good he’s awake. I’ll leave him to your care doctor!” Bambam saluted at Lisa and subtly flipped a middle finger to V.

After Bambam left, Lisa stood in front of V with both hands on her waist. She looks at him with a poker face.

“Oh my head. Oh, hey Lalisa…” V smiled lazily trying to be charming. “Did you see how sick I am?” He took her hand and put it over his forehead.

“Okay, spill. Why are you really here?” She spat, taking her hands off him. She’s like a time bomb now like any minute she can throw a fit if ever he’ll say something unnecessary. 

He swallowed a lump getting her vibe and slouched his back on the wall. 

“I’ve been feeling weak lately. And, just this morning I thought I felt a sharp pain go through my chest. It was difficult to breathe.” He narrated avoiding her eyes. “And…just like what he just said, I f-fainted. That’s why I’m here. I was hoping you can tell me what’s wrong.”

Lisa reached for a bottle of vitamins and showed it to Taehyung.

“Here’s what you should do Mr. Kim Taehyung, drink these vitamins three times a day so that should help regulate your diet.” She hastily pushed the vitamins on his palms purposely tightening her hold on his hands.

V flinched and endured the pain.

“That’s a food supplement and as for your pain, I say you should consult a doctor and go to the hospital. But you can also just have a whole day’s rest. I think that should do it. But then if there’ll be constant pain, then best to go to the hospital.” She recommended almost sounding professional.

V thought for a minute then he  turned to her for a clever solution.
“Okay. I think I’ll stay here and rest.” He declared triumphantly while Lisa shut her eyes in defeat. It was a good thing her back was on him so he can’t see her reaction.

“Hey Lisa…”

“Yeah?”

“One of your duties as clinic personnel is to take care of walk in patients right?”

“Y-yeah…”

Taehyung smirked feeling the taste of victory. “I think I’ll need a massage. My arms feel sore. Can you please do my arms?” He pleaded cutely and tapped the space on the bed gesturing her to sit beside him.

Hobi smiled to himself when he found that Jimin and Rose finally fixed things between them. He was actually more glad that the two seems to be handling things in a mature way. He was expecting that he’d caught them in a heated argument but when he opened the door to the dance studio, the two were facing each other talking like best friends.

“Jung Hoseok!”

It was Jin who ran to him and put him in an arm lock.

“My friend looks happier today than any day. I wonder what could it be?” Jin boasted.

“Ek—i-it’s n-ok—thng”

Jin released him and patted his back.
“Wow, hyung. Are you sure you’re not out here to kill me?”

“Hahaha! It’s not like you aren’t used to it. Come on let’s have some jajangmyeon at my trailer while we wait for Suga’s announcement.”

As they were reaching Jin’s truck, they stopped in their track when they spotted Jisoo holding hands with Jinyoung. Even more when she lets him kiss her and she got inside his car.

“JIN HYUNG!”

Jin thought he’ll have a heart attack at J-hope’s outburst.

“Would you be kind and tell me that wasn’t your sister who just ran off with that arrogant imbecile!?”

“U-uh…Hobiyah…that is my sister. I think my eyes have seen it too.”
Hobi felt his heart and Jin almost carried him inside his van.

Jimin was walking his girlfriend to her next class and he wanted so bad to hold her hand. Both of them have come to an agreement that because of their situation, it’s best to behave properly in campus. And that means no skinship. Jimin almost groaned in complaint but he can do everything for her.

“Chaeyi, you know there’s an upcoming Winter Ball hosted by the film department. I know it’s still a week from now but I was thinking…maybe…can I take you as my date?” Jimin muttered biting his lips.

Rosé stopped walking and stared at him like she had seen a ghost. “Um, I heard about that from Namjoon oppa…and I’m sorry because…well, I sort of agreed to be his date.”

“B-but—”

“I thought he was kidding. But he told me to keep my promise even if you ask me to go with you.”

“This is insane!” Jimin wailed garnering some attention from some students.

“He told me he can’t be seen without a date because he’s a candidate for honors. He told me he’ll tell you…”

“When did this happen?”

“Um…that night when you moved to Yoongi oppa’s…”

Jimin brushed off his hair. “I’m gonna kill him.”

Rosé just giggled at his dismay and replied to Jungkook’s messages.

“Who are you texting now?” Jimin leaned in and looked at her phone.

“Jungkookie.”

“What? Why?”

“I’m helping him with stuff.” Rosé sent her replies and turned to Jimin. “I’ll be going now oppa. See you around!” She grinned and gave him a light pat on the shoulder.

Jimin couldn’t believe what he just learned.

“Here I am worrying about my girlfriend trying to keep her close when my so-called friends are keeping her away from me behind my back??!?!?!?!” Jimin huffed trying to even out his breathing. “Who should I kill first?”

That afternoon Namjoon was patiently waiting at the airport for Jungkook. He was leaning on his black Ferrari looking through a series of documents on his phone regarding Lay and his investments with some companies and allies around the country. He was reviewing Lay’s assets given to him by Wonwoo when he heard Jungkook’s voice.

“Hyung!”

RM almost tripped on the ground if not for his car when JK threw himself on him.

“Oh god, help my knees!” RM grunted.

“I missed you hyung! How’re you and the guys?” JK dropped himself from RM and breathes the air of his home country. His body guard came along carrying his airport trolley.

“Oh you know, we’re all good here.”

“How about the girls? So Jisoo noona already knows?” JK chanted excitedly.
RM sighed as a response and told Jungkook what happened two days ago.

“Oh no…” JK panted concerned about his friends.

“Come on, I’ll tell you everything inside the car. Oh and tell your body guard your stuff can’t fit inside my Ferrari.”

“It’s fine, they have their own cars.”

Before going home Seo decided to stop by a restaurant near the campus to eat lunch. When she has finished telling the waitress her orders, she noticed that everyone inside seems to have an interest in her. 

She suddenly felt insecure and smelled herself if there’s wrong with her. She looked at her reflection on the phone to check if it was her face. She looked normal as a human Asian girl. So what could be it?

She decided to ignore everyone when her food arrives.

“Hello. You’re name’s Eunseo, am I right?”

Seo tilted her head up and saw a familiar face smiling knowingly at her.

“Um, yeah?”

Nayeon slides on the seat in front of Seo and rested her face on her palm. “So you’re pretty close with BTS huh new girl.”

“I don’t think I know you.” Seo smiled awkwardly. The girl looks awfully familiar though.

“I’m Nayeon. I’m Taehyung’s girlfriend.”

Seo almost choked her own saliva hearing Nayeon’s words. 

“You see, I’m going to give you a heads-up on what’s going on in here. Though BTS are no longer friends…there’s no doubt they’re still the most eligible bachelors in town. And honestly, someone like you just doesn’t cut out to be with someone like them.”

Seo wanted so much to punch this girl in the face but she has to keep it in by balling her fists. She still have the decency to respect this person in public even when she’s at the edge of her temper.

“Why do you think that?” She hissed staring back at Nayeon.

“Well, for one their haters can ruin another’s lives and second…some of their girlfriends are possessive.”

What Nayeon showed her next, made her stand up from their table.

Because what she saw on the girl’s phone was a blog headline that says; Mystery Girl Exposed! Son Eunseo, BTS’ Favorite Buddy. 

“I’m warning you because I’m a nice person. But, I think it’s best for you if you leave now.”

Seo didn’t know what got into her and she ended up throwing a left hook on Nayeon’s face.

The restaurant then turned into chaos.
