Christian stared at the menu across from Blin.

"How bout we try this one?" He pointed to picture of a bed of sushi and octopus fried rice.

She nodded. "Let's give it a try."

The waitress came by collected their order leaving them in silence.

"So, our first very formal date." Christian said smiling.

Blin laughed a little but still stared off. She couldn't stop feeling guilty about the way she treated Jimin.

"Something on your mind?" Christian asked noticing Blin's mind was somewhere else.

She nodded. "Jimin." She said before thinking.

"Oh?" Christian asked taking a sip of his water.

"I just feel guilty, I sorta lashed out on him after you lashed out on me."

He nodded. "Did you apologize?"

"Yes."

"Then there's nothing for you to feel bad about alright? Jimin is strong, he can act like a big boy for once. Right now is about you and me."

Blin pursed her lips. 'okay."

The appetizers came and Blin still didnt say much, she just ate to make it not awkward.

Her eyebrows shot up when she saw a familiar face. "Sam!" She called her over.

Sam ran over estatic to see the two. "OMG what are you guys doing here?!" She asked smiling.

"We're on a date." Blin told her.

She laughed. "Well so am I! Let's double!" She called over her date and she squeezed next to Jimin.

Her date sat uncomfortably besides Blin.

"Ohh appetizers!" She exclaimed as she grabbed a handful.

Blin was thankful for her obnoxious personality because Christian was wanting to talk.

The sat there, Sam mouthing off and getting cozy with Christian.

Sam's date offered to cut Blin's appetizer and Christian sat up, a flicker of jealousy. "I'll do it."

Blin smiled thankful but then she realized that she hadn't even minded when Sam was practically sitting on Christian's lap.

Christian finally stood up, having enough.

"I'm sorry Blin, let's have a date another time." He left the money for the appetizers and got up. "Do you want to come with me or stay and finish your food, I don't mind."

"I'll finish the food and catch up with you." She called to him.

When Christian left Sam shooed away her date and her expression grew serious.

"I know your secret." She said in a low voice, all her playfulness left immediately.

"Huh?" Blin asked oblivious.

"Your secret."

Deny deny deny. "What are you talking about Sam?"

She titled her head to one side. "Oh you don't know? You didn't realize you are a girl?"

Blin felt the air sucked out of her. She looked down at her appearance and mentally groaned. Dressing up for their date she totally fell out of her character.

"Yeah, there's no hiding it. I can't believe I even thought for once you were a male!"

Blin bit the inner skin of her cheek. "Sam I—"

"Save it Blinny-boo. I'll allow you amnesty, if you give up Christian. I want to date him."

Blin shook her head. "He's my boyfriend."

"Yeah, yeah whatever.  I'm the only female aloud on campus. If you so dare act defiant I won't tell the principal, I'll go straight to the news and expose you."

"Witch."

Sam's hand flew over her heart in surprise. "Huh? Me?" She said innocently.

"I want Christian." She repeated.

"I can't...I can't break up with him!" Blin stood defiantly.

Sam rolled her eyes. "Fine. But you know you are ruining the principal's job and your going straight home. All for a boy." She stood up as well about to walk home.

"Wait..."

Sam handed her her number. "Call me by twelve tomorrow, or else." She walked away leaving Blin frustrated and furious.

Catrina woke up first.
No, it must've been a dream.

She nervously looked underneath the covers and shivered as the cold air pricked her bare self.

What have I done?

She peered over at Jungkook, hair dishoveled and lips slightly parted. His breathing was steady and still.

She groaned, irritated with herself that she had allowed this to happen. And the saddest part is she couldn't even blame Jungkook, she wanted it. No, she had even asked for it.

She cursed under her breath. None of this was apart of her plan. She was supposed to restrain herself and make him love her. But she fell into temptation and she wondered if there was still a chance... Or was this it? Was he done with her like all the rest of the girls? Should she have even bothered in the first place?

Catrina swallowed hard and pulled on her clothes. "Sorry Jungkook." She gave him a light peck on the cheek, got up and closed the door quietly to not wake him.

She opened her phone to 62 unread text from her parents and Sasha.

She sighed knowing she was in deep trouble.

* *

She opened up the door silently, moving in slow motion.

"Catrina." Her dad's booming voice and her mom's foot tapping met her as soon as an inch of her slid through the doorway.

"Yes Dad?" She asked, her voice a bit high.

"Where were you last night? You had Sasha, your mom and I worried." He was angry, Catrina could tell.

"I stayed at a friend's house."

"While Sasha was here? I don't know where she got those manners from honey but I'm not taking this." Her mom said.

"And who is this friend may I ask?" Her dad was on her again.

"One of Blin's friends, we just watched a movie and I fell asleep dad I'm sorry I didn't text home."  Catrina felt tears form in her eyes as she rushed upstairs.

Catrina's mom sighed and looked at her husband. "I'll talk to her "

"Don't go easy on her. I don't want her thinking this is okay."

*

Blin knocked on Jimin's door.

He opened it a couple minutes later saying nothing but an unamused expression on his face.

"Can we talk?"

"You have a boyfriend for that."

"Please?"

"God, Blin isn't here anyone else you can torture with your problems?"

She didn't say anything.

"You don't have any friends? Because I recall we aren't."

"Look, I just want to talk."

Jimin pursed his lips. "Sorry. Doesn't seem as if I care." He closed the door.

"Then I'll wait."

Rapmonster shut down his phone. It had been ringing since 4 am. They were all calls from Jin.

Jin proved he was more than eager to begin working with him. But Rapmonster would only wake up at 6, no earlier.

He wasn't sure if he exactly wanted to go with Jin's company anyway. His mind kept drifting to 'what ifs' and Jhope's company.

He ran his fingers through his hair sighing, telling himself he'd better get to the new studio.

He pulled on a simple outfit brushed his teeth and hair and walked lazily out of his apartment.

As he turned onto the main road that lead to the subway he stopped walking when he saw Jhope.

"Good morning, Namjoon." He said quietly.

Rapmonster simply nodded his head in Jhope's direction and walked past him.

He was surprised to feel his wrist suddenly grabbed and he turned to look at Jhope who was looking him dead in the eyes.

"I'm sorry. Please give me a chance to speak with you."

Rapmonster pursed his lips then finally sighed. "I dunno I really gotta get goin—"

"Namjoon, ten minutes." Jhope asked firmly.

"Fine." He retracted his wrist a bit too strongly. He wasn't intending to be rude but it just ended up that way.

"Let's talk there." Jhope pointed to a cafe before walking in the direction while Namjoon followed.

Namjoon slid in the comfortable brown booth and breathed in all the morning orders of coffee.

"I didn't want to kick you out Namjoon I had to."

Rapmonster mentally rolled his eyes. He was offended Jhope believed he couldn't handle a little hurdle in his path.

"Jin threatened me okay? I'm doing it to protect you."

"What do I have to do with you and Jin?"

"It's not I it's us. Jin has eyes everywhere. He seems to have the wrong idea about our relationship."

Rapmonster's cheeks involuntarily grew red. "And?"

"He'll ruin your career. He'll make up a scandal with pictures of us as false evidence. He'll use my fans fury for anyone that potentially could be my interest and  put it all on you. I thought of everything, but he only wants one thing. And that's you."

"You're telling me about this just now? This is not your decision to make. Both of our careers are on the line!"

Jhope shook his head. "I couldn't give two shits about Jin ruining my career. You are—"

"I'm what? You sure didn't blink when you kicked me out." He spat.

"I tried" Jhope's voice shook a little. "I tried to kick you out and not look back because I knew it was the only way but I couldn't. I don't want to see Jin ruin you, it's my fault. I'm just being weak." He mumbled the last part.

Rapmonster searched his eyes. "Why couldn't you just kick me out like the rest? You didn't care if they ran off to Jin." He pestered.

Jhope sighed regaining his composture. "I made a promise to you the first day I met you. I told you we'd break records together, and climb to the top. Kicking you out was throwing away that promise and—"

"That's not what I'm asking." Rapmonster bit the inside of his lip. He just wanted to know the answer to the throbbing question running through his mind. Do you care about me? Do you feel this way too?

Jhope titled his head, his bangs shifting over his eyebrows.
"What are you asking?"

Rapmonster swallowed. "Over the past days I've spent with you I'm feeling... Something I don't understand. It's like... I'm mad at you but I want you to be around and and I can't stop thinking of you it's giving me a headache. I just... I'm confused." He searched for something, anything in Jhope's eyes that would answer his confusion.

Jhope's expression was unreadable.

It was silent for a couple of seconds.

"I mean... I can't be the only one that feels this weird right?" His heart was crushing little by little every second Jhope said nothing.

Jhope noticed Jin approach their table first.

Rapmonster's breath hitched and Jhope's eyes widened.

Jin smiled sweetly. "Good morning, the both of you. Now I don't mean to intrude but I believe your ten minute apology time is up and Rapmonster must be off to my studio to start producing."

Rapmonster stared at Jhope waiting for an answer

"We were just cleaning up." Jhope said dryly.

"Oh, wonderful! Well Rapmonster don't be long, I'll be at the studio and you best be there right after me." He walked away, his chest poked out a bit.

Rapmonster sighed and bit his lip. I shouldn't have said anything, this was a mistake.

He turned and began to walk away before he heard Jhope call his name and he hated himself for stopping to hear what he could possibly say but he had a little sliver of hope..

"Here." Jhope walked over to Namjoon giving him a crumpled napkin and he walked past him and out of the cafe.
