👄 The Fate

Hey there my lovely demigods. The month of hearts is here and we all know what that means: the Gods and Goddesses will finally join us for a night of champagne and caviar and auctions that would benefit the less fortunate. But seeing as Norse and Egyptian demigods are roaming the streets of the Greeks, is the Gala more than just a charity event? What does the almighty deities have in store for their beloved offsprings?

Eyes wide, dear circle members. I hold grudges. Xoxo

🌸

"No schemes today, 'lil sis?" Yoongi said as he sat beside Lisa who was bored out of her wits lying on the bleachers. "Where's Jungkook?"

"You make it seem like I scheme all the fvcking time, oppa," she muttered as she sat up. "Where's Rosie? You two are inseparable these days."

He shrugged. "Just making the most out of every day, you know."

"Yeah right." She crossed her leg and faced Yoongi. "And I know you too well. What do you need?"

He grinned at how his sister knew him well. "I need your help to ask Rosé out to the gala."

Lisa rolled her eyes at her brother. "Seriously? Oppa. She's already your girlfriend. Just ask her."

"It's not that simple!"

"Ugh." Lisa took out her phone and tapped on it. It rang. "Hey Ro—"

Yoongi's eyes widened. "Ya!"

Lisa motioned her hand signaling Yoongi to shut up.

"Yeah. My brother's getting on my nerves right now. Do you mind talking to him for me?"

"Ya! Lalisa!"

Lisa just threw him a glare.

"He's going on and on about the gala. Yup. That gala. Uh-huh. You see, he's acting like it's prom. I would've punched him but I don't want your date to have a bruise on his face on the night of the event. What?!" She looked over to an alarmed Yoongi. "You already have a date?!"

And just like that, Yoongi grabbed Lisa's phone.

"Who the fvck is your date Park Roséanne?!"

Her feminine chuckle was fairly audible on the other line.

"It's you, silly," she replied ovee the line. "Whoelse will I go with?"

"I thought—"

Lisa took back her phone. "Enough chitchat and just make out already. Ugh. Hope you guys get herpes."

Again, Rosé chuckled. "Love you too Lis. Tell your brother I'm in the cafeteria with Jisoo."

"Ya Yoongi—huh. He's already gone. I'll catch you guys later. I'm still waiting for Jerkball to finish showering."

"Bye!"

Lisa closed her phone and stood up. She was really bored right now so she began balancing herself on the bleachers while walking back and forth. 

"Lis—"

"Wh—!" She took a wrong step and slipped. But it was a good thing someone caught her just in time. "T-Thanks."

"You should be more careful next time, doll."

"I know, Jeon—Mingyu?" She immediately stepped back making her almost fall again. It was a good thing she regained balance in time. "What are you doing here?"

"I just happen to pass by. And I saw you doing this... balancing act of yours," he explained. Then a smirk formed on his lips. "I assume you're waiting for Jungkook?"

"Well, yeah. He told me to wait for him since he wanted to take a quick shower before heading out."

"Picking up a dress for the gala?" She nodded. "I'm also assuming you're getting a long gown?"

"You'll just see. The theme's formal, Mingyu. So I'm betting you'll be in green." She grinned.

"Ah, that's a major blow, doll. You really know where to hit me."

She chuckled. "Dude, almost everything you own is green. Are you some kind of goblin or something?"

"Ya, that's a low blow, Greek." He said chuckling. "I thought you guys were cool."

"And I thought Norse people were fashionable people." She grinned again.

"Well that's debatable—"

Jungkook cleared his throat making the two turn to his direction.

"Enjoying the conversation with my girl, Mingyu?"

That made Lisa cross her arms and smirk. "Your girl, really?"

"Yea. Got a problem with that?" His arms possessively wrapped around her waist and he kissed her temple.

"You know what else is green? The vomit I'll be spewing in a while," Mingyu commented. "Who are you and what have you done to my Jungkook?"

"Very funny, Norse." He spat. "Go bug someone else. I'm craving for some make out—"

Lisa's hand instantly hit Jungkook's shoulder as she glared at him.

"What?"

"You're really unbelievable."

"I still don't hear a no."

Lisa rolled her eyes and walked down the bleachers leaving the two behind.

"Min Lalisa..." Mingyu uttered as he watched her walking towards the exit. "I gotta hand it to you, Jeon. I never did see this coming."

Jungkook just shrugged and watch his girlfriend saunter away.

"So you're attending tonight?"

"Yup. Seems like my dad's 100% into this befriending the Greeks thing."

"So who are you bringing tonight?"

He grinned. "I'm flying solo. Since I can't bring the girl I like anymore."

Jungkook's brows furrowed. "You like someone?"

"Yeah. But it's cool. I'll just steal your date from time to time." He smirked as he skipped down the bleachers.

Jungkook clicked his tongue in annoyance as he followed suit. Maybe he's kidding. Maybe he's just messin'.

But something in his gut says he's not.

THE NIGHT OF THE GALA

"Seriously. Your gown would look way better without that stupid mask on," Jin mumbled as he helped Jisoo get off the car. "It's just for one night."

"No, Jin. What part of 'I can't take this off because your mom's gonna kill me' do you not understand?!" She hissed.

"But I want everyone to see how beautiful my girlfriend is," he insisted. "Can I not brag that I have the second most beautiful creature that has ever existed all for myself?"

"Second?"

"Yea 'coz I'm first."

Jisoo rolled her eyes. Typical Kim Seokjin.

Her gown was midnight blue that was mainly made of sequins. Also, her back was exposed more than the usual.

"Wait. I think I was supposed to be doing something but I can't put my finger on it..." he mumbled as Jisoo fixed his midnight blue tie that perfectly matched his black suit. "Do you have my phone?"

"No. I think you left it in the car?"

"Can you call the driver and tell him to go back?" He pleaded. "I really think I forgot to do something and that phone has the answer."

"Sure," she said. "I'll text the driver to drop it off later—"

"Jisoo? Wow! You look hot—err... amazing," Hoseok said as he greeted the two by the lobby. "It matches your uh... mask?"

"Thanks for that sweet yet bothering attempt of a compliment Hobi," she replied. "Where's your date?"

"She's..." He looked around then his eyes sparkled when he spotted her. "...here. Hey Momo!"

He waved at the woman walking towards them. She looked cute in her off shoulder laced gown. It was simple yet it complimented her well.

"Hi!" She greeted them. "Um... I have to go look for Sana first. I'll join you as soon as I give her the extra pin she needs. Mark accidentally stepped on her dress and it ripped."

"Sure—"

"Jisoo! Jin! Hobi!" The three looked over to the familiar voice who called them out. It was Rosé. Her dress was baby pink and made of silk. She matched it with a pair of glittered Jimmy Choo's. "Have you seen Lisa? She didn't ride with us tonight."

"I wouldn't too if I rode with two horny teen—ya!" Jisoo glared at Jin after she pinched him. "What? They can't keep their paws off each other. It's inappropriate."

Rosé blushed crimson as Yoongi looked away while smiling shyly. Their hands clasped together like it was super glued on.

"Hey Taehyung!" Hoseok waved at the familiar ash-haired guy who's wearing a floral Gucci suit. "Cool suit."

"You too hyung." He said as they did their shake. "Who'd you come with?"

"My dad." He dead-panned answer.

"No I meant who did you come with as a date?"

"Oh. I have no date." He smiled widely. "I was gonna ask someone but she's already with someone."

Jisoo and Rosé looked at each other. They both knew who it was. Lisa and Jungkook were were back at it again the next day after that ruckus they made in school.

"Anyways, my dad gave me one of his finest wine. I have a room we could all hang out in when the boring part of this show starts." He grinned.

"I'm liking the sound of that," Hoseok high-fived him.

"I heard wine. What's up?"

Seulgi, along with two other girls came to the group. Yoongi immediately eyed her. She just rolled her eyes at him.

"You're such a baby, Yoongi. Rosé and I are cool now. I apologized to her already."

Rosé smiled. "Yeah. And I accepted it. So stop being a baby."

"Oh so you two are teaming up against me now?"

"See? He's such a big baby."

Sooyoung who was elegantly dressed in a bloody red dress with a white fur coat walked towards Rosé and clung on to her arm.

"Rosie. Annyeong!"

"Unnie." She greeted back.

Hoseok immediately looked at Seulgi. "They know each other?"

"Well, Rosé here helped Sooyoung yesterday when we went out. That's when I apologized to her."

"Yesterday?" Yoongi glanced at his girlfriend for a clear answer.

"Remember when I went to the restroom when we went out yesterday to buy this purse?" She started. "Sooyoung here was mistaken as a thief at one of the stores 'coz a pin got stuck on her blouse. I helped her with the manager."

"She's not so bad afterall," Seulgi said. "Not everyone would care enough to step in and help strangers out. Especially after what I said to her..."

"It's alright, Seulgi," Rosé assured her. "I would've reacted like that as well if the circumstances were different."

The smile on both girls' face made Yoongi feel at ease. Seulgi can be a great friend but once she's on against you, you won't be safe.

"Oh right," Hoseok said as Seulgi clubg to his arm. "Guys, these are Seulgi, Sooyoung and Joohyun. They're Egyptian demigods. And girls, these are Taehyung, Jin and Jisoo. Greeks, of course."

"Woah. It is true. You really do wear a mask," Sooyoung said as she turned to Jisoo. "But isn't that uncomfortable? You should remove that."

"I've been trying for the past 10 years now," Jin butted in. "She's too stubborn for her own good."

"I'm not stubborn—"

"It's a curse," Joohyun suddenly said. Her eyes glued to Jisoo but the others' are on her. "You were cursed."

Jisoo was surprised. "H-How did you know?"

"Because I was too," she softly said the looked at Seulgi who sighed. "Qetesh... she cursed me before."

"H-How did you break it?" Jisoo asked and held her hand. "Please tell me."

"I-I haven't. But I chose to live with the scar on my face and eventually, I discovered make-up."

"She doesn't need it though," Seulgi smiled. "She's beautiful with or without the scar. And I'm sure you are too, Jisoo."

Jin's arm snaked through her waist. His smile screamed 'I told you so'.

"Wow. It's the first time I saw brother and sister this close." Jennie Kim—dressed in a plain black laced gown, arrived with her arms linked with Namjoon who was in a velvety maroon suit and black pants. "I guess fruits really don't fall far from the tree."

"Careful, Kim," Jin smirked. "You don't wanna mess with me."

She raised an eyebrow. "And why is that? 'Coz your mother might curse—ya!"

Namjoon sighed before gently pulling Jennie away from the group—nodding at Jin.

"Do you girls wanna come up to the suite I rented?" Taehyung suddenly said facing the Egyptian girls to break the sudden silence Jennie made. "We'd like to hang out with awesome people such as yourselves."

"We'd love to!" Sooyoung readily agreed. "I've hung out once with Lisa and I'm positive that Greeks are fun people."

"Speaking of Lisa..." Rosé turned to Yoongi. "Where is your sister?"

"Yeah," Jungkook—who suddenly appeared again out of nowhere, seconded. He wore this lake blue suit with khaki undershirt and white striped tie that made him look more exquisite that he already was. "Where is she?"

And as if on cue, Lisa walked in the venue. All eyes were on her—especially on what she was wearing.

"Holy crap she's hot!" Sooyoung blurted out. "I mean, wow."

Seulgi chuckled. "That's Lisa for you."

Wearing a plain white suit—yup, a suit with only a black bra underneath, with white pants and black stilettos, all heads followed her as she walked towards the group of demigods. It didn't help that her hair was a screaming red tied in a messy side bun.

"I'm not late, am I?"

🌸

SPOTTED. Queen L breaking yet another dress code. What can I say? I'm a sucker for great style and a grand entrance.
But fair warning, your majesty.
You're still the Red Queen.
White doesn't suit you that much, does it?

xoxo, The Fate 💋
