"So you made it?" Lisa folded her arms. "You gave him the bright idea and you made the page too. Wow, Kim Taehyung. You're on another level of bad influence."

"On my defense, I only told him to make love letters. Namjoon was the one who said 'make it a reflection of yourself' thing. So basically, The Fate wasn't entirely mine," he countered.

"So you had the ability to shut the whole thing down but you didn't. Can you do it now?"

"I can't. Jungkook reinforced the page with some powerful web security features so no one aside from himself can access the page," Taehyung answered. "I tried hacking it once because what he was doing was too much and it fried my computer."

"But someone else hacked it meaning it was possible."

"I'm not a computer genius, Lisa. I only know the basics."

Lisa snapped. "That's it! We just need a computer genius to solve our problem."

"You mean we'll hack it again?" She nodded. "I guess that'll work. But do you know any hackers?"

"Well... Dad has many souls in the underworld. One of them might be a computer genius or at least a good hacker."

"A soul?"

"Yeah. 'Coz we can't trust the living—"

"What can't you trust the living with?"

Taehyung and Lisa turned towards the person who just arrived. It was Jimin.

"We were talking about the new—"

"Nurse," Lisa cur Taehyung off making his forehead crease. "I'm not gonna let someone who has a grudge on my boyfriend taking care of him so I'll be sending someone from the underworld to watch over him from now on."

"I don't think the hospital would allow souls to wander around, Lis," Jimin pointed out. "Wasn't it a robbery? Why would someone come after him?"

"He's the fate, remember?"

"Yeah and those people he crossed aren't exactly around," Jimin said shrugging. "The only ones he crossed that's here are his friends."

"Still, I'm gonna protect my man," Lisa said totally ignoring what Jimin just said making him sigh. "So you're here to pick Tae up?"

"Yeah. We have this dinner scheduled with my dad."

"Okay cool," she said smiling. "Oh and Tae. Have a great night."

"You're in a good mood," Jin sad as he stood by the lockers. "Was the make-up sex that good?"

This made Jisoo--who was standing next to Jennie, roll her eyes.

"There's really no filter with you, huh Seokjin?" the latter dodged.

"No, there isn't Jennifer," he simply replied. "And you're not getting away that easily. Spill."

She turned towards his girlfriend who just shrugged before letting out a sigh.

"Well, if you must know, we did not do anything last night," she answered making the guy raise his eyebrow. "Well maybe a few kisses but that was it. He had a lot of catching up to do with Namjin."

"You can't fool me, woman," he folded his arms. "Your ASG is so obvious."

"AS--what?"

"ASG. After Sex Glow."

Jisoo facepalmed. "Ignore him, Jen. He's off his meds."

"No. Don't ignore me. I'm partly responsible for you two getting back together do I deserve to know some juicy details--"

"Look who decided to ruin the day," Ro muttered as the devil spawn--Chou Tzuyu with her minions, SinB and Yuju, walked towards them.

"Oh hey there, ladies," she greeted. "So, I read the other day the new fate declared you three as front runners for Queen this year. I'm pumped to see who'll win. Lis' shoes are too big to fill. But if you guys feel too pressured, I'd be happy to fill in."

Jennie scoffed. "You can't even fill half of it. Stop being delirious."

Tzuyu fake gasped. "Oh my! Are you questioning my capabilities, J? I'm offended."

"Oh honey, I'm not questioning them," she cleared. "I'm denying its existence."

Jin looked like he was gonna scream 'BUUUURN'. Rose giggled as Jisoo tried to stop herself from laughing at how Tzuyu looked.

Gritting her teeth, Tzuyu composed herself.

"Whatever," she said then looked over to her minions. "Come girls. We have a party to plan. Don't even think of inviting these wannabes."

As the female personification of Satan walked away, Jin gave Jennie a slow clap.

"Welcome back, your highness," he said. Even Jisoo and Rose were thrilled. "When it comes to one liners, only you can match up with Lisa."

"Oh shut up."

"Jin's right, Jen," Rose seconded. "You got my vote for new Queen."

"And get terrorized by the new fate? No thank you. I'll pass," she countered. "Why not let Jin. He's shoe in for HBIC. We can sacrifice him."

"I'd take full offense but I am more like Lisa than the three of you combined so..." he shrugged making Jennie, Rose and Jisoo all roll their eyes at him. "But jokes aside, one of you being Queen is better than her. So you three better step up your game. Protect the throne before the mother of dragons return and burn us all."

Jennie and Rose both walked away from him.

"You should really stay away from tv shows," Jisoo said patting his shoulder.

"I'm telling you, it wasn't me," Jaewon insisted to which Hoseok sighed. "Hoseok, I swear. I didn't shoot him."

"Shoot him or not, you kidnapped him," Apollo—their father who stood before them, said. "Zeus is pissed and I don't think I can protect you from him."

"But he said he wasn't pressing charges!"

"Yes but, the gods aren't as forgiving," the god said. "But, I was able to strike a deal with Zeus."

"And that is?"

"Take you to a boarding school overseas."

"What?" Hoseok blurted out. "But father, he just got here!"

"He caused trouble, son. It cannot be helped."

"But Jungkook caused more trouble. He made this blog revealing secrets wrecking havoc to everyone—"

"Which wasn't exactly illegal unlike kidnapping," the god explained. "You are my children and I will always take your side. But as your father, I also want you to face the consequences of your actions."

"But dad—"

"I'm sorry, son. But there's nothing I can do about it," Apollo said. "I'll expect you to be ready when I get back."

"Dad--"

Jaewon wasn't able to contest as the god disappeared before them. Then someone suddenly spoke.

"He might not be able to do anything but I can."

The two kids turned their attention towards the door. Jaewon's eyes grew wide as Hoseok gasped.

"I know Jaewon didn't pull the trigger," Lisa said. "But I'll be needing his help to track down who's the person behind all of this."

"But how?"

"Jaewon kept Jungkook hidden for a long time but didn't actually kill him, am I right?" She turned towards the guy. "Why? Why didn't you kill him?"

"I'm not a murderer—"

"So who put you up to it? I mean, how'd you manage to kidnap him?"

"I received an e-mail," he immediately answered. "From the Fate. He said he knows how I could finally get you to uh... to notice me."

"So you're not the new fate like Taehyung said. Someone else is pulling the reigns."

"And I'm guessing you already know who he is?" Hoseok claimed.

Lisa smirked. "That's a secret for now."

"So if you already know, why show up here?" Jaewon asked.

"To save your sorry ass, of course," she answered. "Hobi's like a brother to me. I don't want to be the reason why he'd lose his real one."

Hoseok smiled. "Thanks, Lis. And tell your father I'm in debt to him--"

"Who said anything about my father?" she immediately said making the two boys wonder. "Oh no, Hobi. I won't ask my father for a favor."

"Then who?"

"Zeus himself, of course."

👄 The Fate

It's been ages since we last had a party around town. I guess Chou Tzuyu isn't just a plain 'ol druggie. Looks like we just found a new competitor. How'd you like that, girls?

x's and o's

"Great. Everyone's having fun in that party except for us," Jin whined as she plopped himself on to the mattress. "Instead we're stuck here babysitting."

"No one forced you to come here, Seokjin," Jennie fired back at him as she fed her daughter. "And besides, Tzuyu throwing a party? We're lucky we weren't invited. It would flop 100%."

"We can always throw our own party if we'd like," Namjoon suggested as he took Namjin to burp. "Just not now 'coz, of Jungkook's situation."

"Right," Jisoo immediately seconded. "We can throw him a welcome back party or something. Right, Ro?"

On the other hand, Rose was busy tapping on her phone with her eyebrows all scrunched up.

"Ro?"

"Huh?" She instantly raised her head. "Oh, right. A party. Yeah."

This time it was Jisoo's turn to furrow her brows. "Ro, is there something bothering you?"

"It's nothing, really," she answered. "I just saw this post. But it's really nothing."

"Are you sure?"

She nodded then smiled. "By the way, I need to head out first. Something came up."

"Do you need someone to drive you?" Namjoon immediately asked. "I can call an uber--"

"No need. My dad's driver is already downstairs," she replied. "But thanks though."

Rose rushed downstairs and immediately called someone.

"Are you 100% sure? She knows?"

"Yeah. And I think now's our chance to finish it. You said she's with Yoongi at her pent, right?"

"Yup. But I don't think I can do this. I mean... I'm mad at him but I'm no killer."

She her a light chuckle over the phone. "It'd be a shame to see you behind bars, Ro. If Jungkook wakes up, you're toast. Remember, he saw you before he got shot."

She clenched her fist. "Why don't you do it, then? You're the one who thought of this stupid plan in the first place. Or better yet, I can just tell Lisa who you really are--"

"And would she believe you?"

"I'm her best friend--"

"Who also betrayed her not once, but twice," the person on the other line laughed. "Finish the job, little Ro. Before things get messy. I wouldn't want to be on your shoes when everything blows up now, would we?"

"You're sick—" The call was ended. "Fvck!"

She threw her phone inside the car and cried. What did she get herself in to?

"Ugh!"

"Ma'am? Is there something wrong?" the driver asked.

"Can you take me to St. Jude's? I have to uh... visit my friend."

"Who, Miss Park?"

"Jeon Jungkook."

🌻

"I... I'm here to visit Jeon Jungkook," Rose said to the nurse outside the ICU. "I'll take the watch for tonight. You can go."

The nurse nodded then left. Clutching her bag, she entered the room and changed. She felt her heart pound as she turn the knob towards where the unconscious Jungkook laid.

She sat next to him and watched the heart monitor. He was stable. Meaning he will eventually wake up. And him waking up means she'd be sent to jail because she was the one he saw near him. Even though she wasn't actually the one who pulled the trigger. She'd end up in jail. Or worse, suffer Zeus' wrath.

Her hand reached out to his oxygen mask. Little by little. Tears started to fall on her cheeks. Can she really do this? Can she actually kill someone? She took her hand back. She can't.

But he ruined her. He sent out that video. He's a terrible person. He should get what he deserves, right?

Again, her hand reached out to his oxygen mask. It's now or never.

Then Jungkook's eyes opened.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," he said as he clutched on to my wrist. She shrieked.

He sat up and removed his own oxygen mask--still not letting me go.

"Y-You're alive? Y-You're awake?"

Jeon Jungkook flashed his signature smirk.

"Missed me?"

In the art of war, the more you know the enemy and you know yourself,
you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.

All warfare is based on deception.
Hence, when we are able to attack,
we must seem unable;
when using our forces,
we must appear inactive;
when we are near,
we must make the enemy
believe we are far away;
when far away,
we must make him believe
we are near.

I won't go down without a fight, darlings.

Who am I now?
That's one secret I'll never tell.
