“Woah...” The guys were huddled around Yoongi’s computer screen. “I like it” by Cardi B. filled the room.

“What are you guys doing?” Jungkook approached the group. He’d been hanging out with the ‘97 line.

“Lisa just released an I Like It dance cover for YG’s X-Academy” J-hope volunteered.

Ever since Mic Drop BTS’ schedule was even more insane than before.

It’s crazy, but absolutely worth it.

“Man, I wish I had time to do that sort of stuff” J-hope continued.

“Me too, hyung” Jungkook could only whisper in response.

He wasn’t really paying attention anymore. His eyes followed the curves of Lisa’s body as she moved across the screen.

“She‘s working this video.” Jungkook smiled.

The rest of the boys hmm’d in unison. Hypnotized by the way Lisa smiled at the camera just at the right moments.

“She’s a great performer. What should I do? I’m 100% her fan now.” Taehyung smiled at the boys, sporting his trademark ear-to-ear grin.

“Stop being cute. Let’s get back to practice.” RM interrupted. The boys had spent way too much time debating BLACKPINK. They’d have to stay the whole night making up for practice if they kept at it.

Jungkook’s heart ached at Taehyung’s comment. He’d been crushing on Lisa since her debut but was too shy to approach her.

If Taehyung really had feelings for Lisa, Jungkook would be forced to give up on her. He didn’t want to get in the way of his hyung’s happiness.

It would be for the best. But I hope it doesn’t come to that.

He looked over at Taehyung and found him staring back. A smirk plastered on his face. It was obvious he knew about Jungkook’s feelings. In fact, Jungkook had confided in him long before Lisa’s “I Like It” dance cover was released.

He’s teasing me. “Ya! You jerk!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about...” Taehyung whistled away. Jungkook wasn’t surprised to see a skip in his step as he walked away.

He’s always teasing me. It’s probably his happiness at this point.

Sighing. Jungkook took one last look at the paused YouTube video.

“God, she’s beautiful” And I have 0 chances with her.
