Hey there my darling demigods. The Fate here—your friendly calm before the storm.
Summer's over and I've missed you all. Especially my favorite Circle Members. Thought you're all getting away with those secrets? Think again.
School's starting in a few days, hope you all get those skeletons hidden in your closets ready. This year's gonna be one heck of a ride.
x's and o's

👄 The Fate
Hey there darlings. Nothing screams summer like swimming in the blue seas of Greece. A source tells me that a certain couple was seen canoodling in Santorini. Who might they be?
Here's a little clue.
Spotted: Queen L seen on the local airport. Alone. Did the school's man-whore get tired already? Pity. I thought he'd stick this time since he made such a mess to get inside your pants.
Cheer up, L. A queen like you shouldn't settle for a man like him.
xoxo 💋

Pissed, Jungkook threw his phone and cursed. He's still blocked from accessing his own site. But judging by the screenshots Taehyung sent him, the person who hacked The Fate is up on her toes ready to expose him.
Just expose me for fucks sake! He thought countless times. The uncertainty killed him all throughout summer which led him to break things off with Lisa.
He needs to get the site back before she finds out and then he can just sweet talk her again. It's smooth sailing from then on.
"Hey Kook—woah!" Taehyung exclaimed as he went inside the hotel room—a broken phone lying helpless on the floor. "Guess you're not too happy about that Fate blast."
"You think?!" He blurted out then brushed his hair back. "Whoever this hacker is, I'm gonna end his—"
"Or her."
"—fucking life!"
"Hey Tae—woah. What happened?" Jimin immediately asked as he too stepped into the room.
It was Taehyung and Jimin. The couple canoodling her in Santorini. Lisa was with then but yeah, he's a jerk. So now he's currently a miserable third wheel.
"Lisa problems," Taehyung simply answered. "I sent him the TF blast."
"At least she landed safely," Jimin said nodding. "You know you're a huge dick, right?"
"Yeah. I know I have a huge dick,"Jungkook retorted making his body fall on to the mattress.
"That's not what I meant."
The two guys walked closer to try and appease their best friend. Or in any case, tell him he's in the wrong.
"Why didn't you go after her in the first place?" Taehyung asked. "It's not like you can't afford a ticket or two."
"I don't chase girls," he answered still eyes closed. "It's not my thing."
"Oh really now?"
Judging by the tone in his voice, Jungkook knew he's taunting him. He knew everything from the start. And he knew it wasn't him who outed Jimin.
"You should've followed her, Jungkook," Jimin said ignoring what Taehyung was insinuating. "It was your fault why she's upset. You've been out of it since we've arrived."
"And you shouldn't have flirted with that waitress," Taehyung seconded.
"And that concierge."
"And that store owner."
"We shouldn't have tagged along with you two," Jungkook mumbled. "And I didn't say anything wrong."
"You called her clingy and annoying."
"She was!"
"She's you're girlfriend!"
"I never had one before!" He answered back at the two guys ganging up on him. "How should I know what to do with one now?"
The two guys looked at each other before throwing back their gazes towards the youngest. They know what's up.
"Just because you're scared of being in a real relationship doesn't mean you can be a jerk to Lisa," Jimin stated.
"Well that's rich coming from you," he retorted.
"Don't put this out on me, Jungkook," he clapped back. "You have a choice same as I did. I made mine and I lost her. So now that you chose to be a dick, get ready to lose her too."
Cold water washed over Jungkook as the words 'lose her' made him wake up.
"Here," Taehyung handed him a piece of paper. It was a boarding pass. "Plane leaves in an hour. I called the front desk to give you a ride to the airport."
Jungkook looked at him and he just gave hin his usual smile.
"Pay me back when you manage sweep her off her feet," he teased. And of course, they hugged. "Now go. I want some alone time with my man."
Jungkook scoffed before heading off. He didn't bother getting his stuff except for his wallet—and his flask. It's gonna be one long flight.

"We came as soon as we saw the TF blast," Jin said as she sat on Lisa's bed. Jisoo was standing on the edge clearly embarrassed at the way his boyfriend's acting. "I bought you some ice cream and chips. I also sent Rosè an SOS. So which will it be, The Ugly Truth or Love Actually?"
Lisa raised an eyebrow before turning towards Jisoo. She mouthed 'sorry'.
"Jin."
"It's okay. Jungkook's a jerk. We don't want him."
"Jin."
"Do you still have feelings for him? Okay we want him but not just now."
Lisa rolled her eyes. She was about to say something when her bedroom door busted open.
"I will fxcking kill that jerk!"
She couldn't help but face palm. Jung Hoseok and his overly dramatic ass just showed up. Rosé trailing him from behind.
"There are certainly two types of friends in these room and neither one of them I need," Lisa murmured. Jin and Hoseok took offense but was shoved to the side by the two girls.
"Wanna go shopping? You can torture me any day," Jisoo teased.
"Ohh! I need new supplies for school!" Rosè said jumping. "Shopping's a great idea!"
"Nah," Lisa said lying back down. "I'm not in the mood."
"Did Tartarus freeze overnight? Lalisa Min, not in the mood for shopping?"
All heads turn towards the door. Jennie Kim, hot as ever with her hand propped on her hip. Namjoon behind her.
Oh, she just gave birth by the way and her little baby girl is currently with Hera. The new grandma just can't take her eyes off the little one.
Lisa rolled her eyes as Jennie walked closer. "Dump that sad excuse of a step brother of mine. I heard Apollo claimed a new kid and he's one heck of a treat."
"Are you talking about my new brother Jaewon?" Hoseok butted in.
"Oh, you're here. But yeah. Jung Jaewon. Gods he's so handsome!" Jennie exclaimed earning a glance from Namjoon. "He'll surely fit you more than that bastard step brother of mine."
"You surely have a great hatred against Kook," Namjoon commented.
"If you know what I know, you'd be too. Oh wait no. Forget I said that."
Lisa's eyebrow scrunched. She was about to ask about it but Rosè clung on to her arm.
"Come on, Lis. Jennie's here. Jisoo too. Can we have a girls' bonding day? I'm sure you'll forget about him when we shop 'til we drop."
"I agree," Jisoo said. "Come on. We all know you won't pass on torturing me with all these shopping thing. Plus, I need a new set of clothes for school."
She was about to argue but the look on the two girls' eyes were scary. They looked like they'd still drag her out of her room even if she said no. She let out a sigh.
"Fine."
The two girls cheered.
"What about my ice cream?" Jin pouted. "I bought all our faves..."
"We'll binge watch some netflix on the next slumber party," Jisoo assured her boyfriend which automatically changed his mood.
Since the engagement party fiasco, they've become more relaxed and they're now able to show everyone how great a couple they actually are. How they compliment each other that's why they're good together.
Lisa sighed once again. Maybe that's why Jungkook and her aren't good together. Yes they do make a wonderful team while scheming but as a couple? Nope. They're too alike for their own good.
"You want me to strip you naked or what?" Jennie yelled making her snap out of it. Quick, a good comeback.
"You'd want that wouldn't you?"
She rolled her eyes before leaving with the rest of the girls. But before Rosè left, she gave her a quick hug.
"I'm not worried at all," she said. "You're Lalisa Min. No one is worthy enough to make you sad."
With that, Lisa managed to smile—genuinely. She is Min Lalisa. Daughter of Hades. No one can bring her down. Even if it's Zeus himself.

"Wow," was all Jin could say as he looked at the paper bags on the counter waiting for him and Hoseok to carry. "And that's just from one store."
"You should see how much bags Jennie made me carry when she bought things for Namjinnie," Namjoon said as he took some bags on the counter.
"If this is how much stuff Lisa buys when she's not in the mood, how much more would it be if she was," Hoseok said following Namjoon.
"I didn't buy anything," Lisa corrected. "Those are all Jennie and Ro's."
"Then why do I have to help?" Jin whined making Jisoo hit him. "Wae?!"
"Such a gentleman, you are."
Defeated, Jin followed and took some bags too. Just as they walked out of the store, Hoseok spotted a familiar face from the crowd.
"Jaewon!"
A young handsome man turned to their direction. He looked cool and aloof but when his lips curved into a smile, he looked way more handsome than he already was.
"I was right, wasn't I?" Jennie whispered as she elbowed Lisa making her roll her eyes.
Don't get her wrong. The Jaewon's cute but he's clearly not her type.
Jaewon walked towards the group as he greeted his brother.
"Hey Hoseok," he said meeting the guy's gaze then turned towards the others. "Your friends?"
"Yeah. This is Jin, Jisoo, Namjoon, Rosé and Lisa," Hoseok introduced as each one of them shook his hand. But with Lisa, it took unnecessarily longer. "Guys, this is Jaewon. My brother."
"Pleasure." Jaewon said after shaking Lisa's hand. His smile... it has something. It's like she's seen it somewhere. "Do you guys need an extra hand?"
"I don't—"
"Yes, yes we do," Rosé cut Lisa off and handed him some of the bags Hoseok was carrying. "Also, you're welcome to join us if you'd like. More hands means more shopping for us."
Lisa gave Rosé a warning look which she expertly ignored.
"Jaewon, right? So you're Apollo's long lost son," she started as she clung to Lisa's arm who was sandwiched between her and Jaewon.
"Apparently," he said smiling. Yup, he's definitely one of the Sun God's son. His smile's like a ray of sunshine. "And you're..."
"Poseidon's daughter," she said. "Lisa here's Hades'. She's actually one of the big three's kids. Cool right?"
Again, Lisa glared at Rosé. She mouthed "wae?"
"So you'll be attending Olympus High right?" Rosé diverted.
"Yup. I'm not quite familiar but mg schedule has the letter A in it. What does that mean?"
"You're in block A! You're in the same homeroom as Lisa here," she squealed—unnecessarily to be quite frank. "Maybe Lis here can tour you around school—aw!"
"We're in the same fxcking class idiot," I murmured.
"I have a boyfriend. Do you?"
Lisa glared at her bestfriend.
"So you're single," Jaewon suddenly blurted out shocking everyone including himself. "Did I say that out loud?"
He scratched the back of his neck like an adorable toddler who got caught.
"So you're interested?" Jennie asked grinning widely. Jaewon slowly nodded.
"I mean, who wouldn't be?"
This made Lisa roll her eyes.
"I need to go somewhere for a while," she said leaving the rest.
"I'll come with—"
"I can manage on my own, Ro," she said rather firmly. At least now they'd know she's pissed at them for playing matchmaker with the newbie.
She pivoted towards the exit and made her way towards the taxi lane. Going out was really not a good idea. She's still on the edge and a bit moody from everything that just happened.
"Hey wait!"
Lisa rolled her eyes before turning around. But she didn't expect him to be already that close that shocked her and made her lose her balance.
Jaewon's arms were on autopilot. He immediately caught her preventing a very embarrassing fall for Olympus High's Queen bxtch.
"Woah!" He said. Lisa blinked and as soon as she realized that people were starting to stare, she stood straight and pushed him away.
"What do you want?"
"Don't I get at least a thank you?"
"It was your fault I almost fell, idiot."
"Woah woah woah," he raised his hands midway. "I'm just here to apologize for being straightforward. I know it was rude of me to just blurt it out but, I don't like lying."
"Then what an honest child you might be," she sassed before turning away from him again. "Just forget it. My friends are just being stupid so you don't need to apologize."
Lisa sashayed away leaving Jaewon behind. Little did Queen L know Jung Jaewon was smirking as he watched her walk away. A hint of deviousness in his eyes.
Then his phone dinged. An image of Jeon Jungkook appeared making his grin grow wider.
"Just in time for the party, Jeon."

Extra, extra. Read all about it. There's new kid in town and he's one hell of a charmer. Warm eyes, addictive smile. Looks like the Sun God's children does take after their father.
And look who he just swept off her feet. The one and only Queen L. Moved on so fast? Looks like a certain playboy just wasted his ticket back home.
Serves you right for messing with a... 🤫
xoxo, 💋
