"I wanted to talk about the current events that have taken place at this school..." Jisoo nervously looked down at her flash cards before masking her anxiousness with one of complete suave.

"Movements to ensure the safety of our school has been assured. There will be something done. But as of now, I think that we as students should be able to do something. Rather than acting out of fear and anger, we should think strategically. And think for Sunsaeng-nim Aeja. She was many of our's math teacher."

Jisoo, being the student body president, was chosen to speak about the murder. The principal planned this, knowing that none of the administration would or could ease the students. So why not entitle the student representative to do the job?

It didn't matter. No one really listened to Jisoo, except for a few and ten other students. Jennie watched with a scoff.

"She's giving a speech?"

"She's the body president, what do you expect?"

Jennie shot Taehyung a glare. "Shut the fuck up. I wasn't talking to you."

"Okay."

Chaeyoung snorted. "Well she looks mighty hot in those glasses."

"Where's Lisa?"

"I don't know."

"She's never around." Jennie muttered, noting the second time the blonde had made a disappearance.

And on cue, she showed up, eyes glued to her phone with a lazy smile. It quickly disappeared when she looked to Jennie and Chaeyoung, morphed into a small one.

"Hey."

"Why you late?"

"Why so serious? I was just running late at home." She nudged Jennie's shoulder, before resting an arm on Chaeyoung.

Lisa in actuality had been with Jungkook. However the brown haired boy didn't show in the group, claiming to have gone to the restroom.

Before she had left him, Jungkook had sent her a sweet message about his plans for the evening.

I was thinking maybe some pizza, and we could watch a few horror movies and play video games?
- Jungkook

No Netflix and chilling? ;)
- Lisa

🙈🙈SHUT UPP don't spoil my
plans!!
But in reality, I just want to cuddle :3
- Jungkook

This was what Lisa had been smiling at. His duality was sometimes completely surprising for her.

How he had gone from a rude, perverted asshole to a thoughtful sweetheart in a matter of days.

Another thing that has shocked Lisa was that he hadn't tried to make a move on her. Meaning that he didn't go past kissing.

Was it possible that his behavior was more attractive to Lisa?

"Yoo hoo, Lisa...who you dreaming about?" Chaeyoung waved a hand in front of the clueless girl, who blinked violently.

Lisa gulped. "Oh! Sorry, just a little dazed."

"No worries. Are we planning on our usual hangout tonight? At my place?"

"I can't. I have some plans."

"What plans?" Jennie mused, glancing from her filed nails to the blonde with an unamused look.

"It's confidential."

"Oh, but we tell each other everything Lis."

"Just a cheer hangout," She lied. Lying came to her like a second nature, Jennie saw right through it.

And now the boys started to pay attention as the small argument began to commence once again.

"Why are you always keeping secrets?"

"I could say the same thing about you Jennie!"

"Aren't you the one who says secrets keep us close? Don't be a hypocrite." Chaeyoung muttered, siding with Lisa.

Jennie gasped. "Are you seriously siding with her?"

"You were gone for two years!"

"You all lost touch!"

"It helped knowing that if I needed Lisa, that she was still here, Jennie."

"What's going on?" Jisoo stepped down from the small makeshift platform, eyeing Jennie and the other two with a reprimanded look.

"Don't give me the 'what's going on' bullshit. You already know." Jennie hissed. "Miss President."

"What the hell does my status have to do with this?"

"I made you all what you are! Be thankful!"

"Shut the fuck up!" Lisa roared, hands raised in motion to slap her. The amount of anger in her voice stunned Jennie, along with the rest of the Golden Boys.

Chaeyoung swallowed, before bringing Lisa's hands back.

"Don't even think that Jennie. I'm sick and tired of you thinking that you're better than us. Because you're not! You're just as bad as us, if not, worse! Don't think for a second that we hold you on a pedestal. Maybe we did back then, but not anymore. Whatever place we've earned in this school is because of our actions alone. None of yours."

The cold, emotionless face returned on Lisa, she adjusted her book bag, aware of the stares.

"You were dead to me when you left."

Turning on her Gianvito Rossi's, she turned, and with a swish of faded blonde hair, she was gone.

"And the Ice Queen struck." Taehyung mumbled, watching Jennie's parted lips and shocked expression.

"It was bound to happen." Namjoon whispered back. "The power struggle has begun."

⭐️

Aside from Lisa's public outburst in front of the entire school the other day, Chaeyoung was having a pretty good day.  But, neither of the girls had really been speaking to each other.

Picking up English notes, she slipped the aesthetically coordinated notebook into her book bag, offering a small smile to the teacher before leaving.

Chaeyoung was polite like that.

Stepping out, she caught her lower lip under her teeth, anxiously heading to the bathroom. She fixed her hair and eye makeup.

One thing had been on her mind lately, apologizing to Jimin. It seemed like the right thing to do. Although it hurt still that he had betrayed her. It hurt more that she had hurt him.

She still didn't know if she could trust him completely. Maybe this would be a step.

A step towards what? Winning him over again? Is that what Chaeyoung wanted?

The girl still remembered how she had caught his eye before. It had been a week after Jennie had left. Dolled in daring red heels to go with her uniform, along with red lips, Chaeyoung had done the cliche.

Simply by walking past him in the hallway. Close enough so that he could get a whiff of her strong perfume, the boy had locked eyes onto her side profile, and ever since then, Jimin had wanted to become friends with her.

Friends had developed in something more, and that had developed in heartbreak.

Love was strange, wasn't it?

She sighed, living in the present. She knew she would never have the guts to go talk to him.

Luckily she didn't have to. Not even stepping a few feet out of the bathroom, she ran into Jimin, quite literally.

"Um, I-I'm sorry..." She awkwardly mumbled, looking down at her shoes before making eye contact.

He brushed back some of his hair.
"For what? Bumping into me or cheating on me?"

Her lips parted, unable to respond. His small smile spread.

"I was kidding Chae."

"Chae? Are we like, cool or something? Last time I checked, I wanted to slap you and you called me a bitch."

Jimin awkwardly chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. "I don't know honestly..."

"Right. I figured as much." She piped, ready to duck out of the conversation. She made a move to leave, when his arm stopped her, cutting her off from moving forward.

"Wait."

"I get it. We fucked up, big time. Our relationship wasn't the best even when we had been together. We made mistakes. If you're confused, I get it. I'll give you time to think."

"No, that's not what I'm saying."

"Then what?"

"Do you..." Jimin sighed. "Come get coffee with me?"

"Are you talking to me?" Chaeyoung looked around, clueless.

"Yes..."

"As far as I'm concerned, I am not dating you. What makes you think I'll go on this coffee date with you?"

"Are you implying that maybe you're seeing someone?"

"Maybe." She lied.

"Then it's not a date. Consider it a peace offering?"

"Park Jimin wants to apologize?" Chaeyoung knew she was acting like a bitch by trying to turn down his proposal, but there was no way she was trying to fall for his charms again.

"You're making this hard for me Chaeyoung."

"Good."

"Don't act like I'm the only one at fault."

"My apology will come when I'm ready."

"Okay."

"Good."

"So..." He awkwardly rubbed his hands together, rocking back on his heels. "How about that coffee?"

Chaeyoung eyes blazed at him, turning to walk away.

"Tomorrow Jimin. I'm free tomorrow afternoon."
