👄 The Fate

They say all is fair in love and war. But what if your chosen opponent is the one you love?

Hey there demigods. The fate here for your daily dose of gossip straight from Olympus High.

It seems the circle members are caught tangled in the web they spun themselves. Oh well. I'm just here enjoying the party. And also ruin lives.

Look, I just found myself another scandal. Say cheese for the camera, darlings.

🌸

"Why aren't you inside?"

Jennie slowly turned facing Namjoon. He walked towards her and gave her a glass of mimosa.

"I'd ask you the same question." She took it and took a quick sip. "Wedding, huh. I wonder what scandal would be posted in The Fate this time."

Namjoon smiled as he looked over the view from the balcony. Then back at her.

"Remember when we were kids, your mom hated seeing you play with us?" He said as he leaned on the balcony's railings.

Jennie smiled. "Yeah. She would always scold me and I'd cry 'coz I really liked playing with you guys."

"Yeah. Boy were you a crybaby back then." He chuckled. "I kinda miss that. You crying and you'd come running to me..."

She smiled but fell silent. She was far from that little girl now. But the a few days ago...

"I missed that." She turned instantly towards him. "I missed being that person you run to when you're sad. But I was glad you still did. That I was still that person you run to."

There was a minute of silence before he started to talk again.

"I haven't seen him around."

She sighed. "Maybe he's out there following Ro like the lovesick puppydog that he is..."

"Jen..."

"I'm fine, Joon," she said and forced a smile. "I always have been. It's just that... sometimes I just couldn't handle the stress and I tend to break. But I'm fixing it—"

Jennie stopped as Namjoon's soft lips descended on to hers.

"You don't need to pretend around me, Jen," he said as his knuckles gently trailed her cheek. "If you feel happy, I'll be happy with you. If you feel sad, then you can use my shoulder to cry on. And when you feel hurt, I'll make you feel better."

"Joon..."

He smiled showing her that signature dimple on his cheek.

"I'm not saying anything yet, Jen. I am your friend more than anything. I won't judge you. I never will."

"I don't want you to feel what I am feeling right now, Joon. You know I love you. But not in the way you want—"

"What do I want, Jen?" He asked making her mute. "Yes, I do love you. But isn't it up to me to decide whether or not I want to stay by your side?"

Namjoon took a step closer to Jennie and wrapped his arms.

"I know they don't get you but I do. You can keep pretending you're not hurt but you can never fool me."

"Psh. Nobody likes a smartass, Joon." She kid making Namjoon chuckle.

"And don't think I wouldn't find out what you did to Yeri who trashed Rosé's locker."

Jennie's eyes widened. "How... how did you—"

"For a moment I thought it was actually you who did that but I was wrong," he said as he tucked the loose strands of hair to the back of her ear. "You love Yoongi so much that you also take care of those he loves..."

"That not true—"

"Not true? Like how you secretly put that football jacket inside Lisa's locker when she got drenched?"

"I just happen to see a jacket—"

"Let me remind you Jen, it was my jacket."

She rolled her eyes. "Fine. I did confront Yeri but that was it."

"Then why did she have a red mark on her cheek? About your hand size maybe?" His grin was teasing. "Why don't you just come clean? Tell them you miss them."

"Shut up Joon." She sighed. "I did not do anything. I just... I can't. I'm the antagonist in this story, Joon. And I don't think that's gonna change any time soon."

🌸

"What the hell?!"

"R-Rosé! T-This isn't what it looks like." Jisoo stammered as she pushed Jin away. "I-I can explain!"

"He's your brother, Jisoo—"

"Stepbrother," Jin corrected which made her glare at him.

"So now you finally mention it?" Jisoo looked back at Rosé who was still shocked at the scene she just had witnessed. "Rosie... I... We..."

"I thought he was gay! And here I was so excited to finally have a GBF—"

"A what?"

"GBF. Gay Best Friend!"

"Are you kidding me?" Jin said with his arms crossed over his chest. "Do I look gay to you?!"

"You always have something pink on your outfit, you talk like you're that fabulous gay friend everyone has and you always look at Lisa like she's some kind of repellant," Rosé explained. "And gosh you look like someone straight out of a Vogue magazine!"

"Who wouldn't be pissed at someone who punched and kicked you multiple times? Gods. And what's wrong with the way I talk? It's normal!"

"Jin grew up with Aphrodite, Ro. I think that explains a lot."

"Jimin? Why are you...Rosie? Why are you with Jimin?"

"I found her by herself at the lobby so I accompanied her here," he explained.

"Why were you at the lobby? Why didn't you go in directly?"

"I wasn't sure if I wanted to come." She sighed. "I know you're aware of what happened the last time I came to a wedding..."

Jimin coughed uncontrollably making Jin roll his eyes.

"Anyways... you and Jin? How come you act like you two don't get along when in fact you're dating—"

"We're not dating, Ro. It's kind of... uh, complicated."

"We're not blood related so don't look at us like we're some kind of Game of Thrones sh!t."

"I'm not! I'm just amazed 'coz from what we saw, you two looked like you're dating."

"And man were those words cheesy."

Jisoo sighed. "You can't tell anyone. It's weird enough that we have this kind of thing going on. It would really get messy if it gets broadcasted in The Fate. Also, our parents..."

"Jin's mom isn't really the epitome of morality, is she?" Jimin said. "No offense."

"None taken."

"But still... Aphrodite... she's... please just don't tell anyone."

"I swear, Chichu. I won't tell a soul."

"Thanks Ro."

Then Rose's phone buzzed.

And as soon as she saw the screen, she froze.

🌸

"What the hell Jeon?!"

Lisa pushed Jungkook off Taehyung. The tramp—who they sometimes call Eunbi, tried to hold on to his arm but violently brushed her off. He threw daggers at Lisa who was now trying to help Taehyung stand up. This did not escape her sight.

"What is wrong with you?!" She hissed.

"Ask me again, doll. Dare to ask me again why." He wiped the stray blood on the corner of his mouth while still throwing that glare.

"So guys can go on kissing any woman they want and I can't?" Lisa answered back. "Wow. 21st century and still there no equality in this dimension!"

"21st century? So acting like the little slut you are makes equality?!"

Furious, Lisa started to push Jungkook by his chest.

"Say that again and I will end you myself!"

"I'd like to see you try, doll." Jungkook challenged her. "Face it. You may look like the fearless girl you are but deep inside you're this insecure little bitc—"

The sound of her slap echoed inside the room making everyone look.

"Says the guy who has fvcking daddy issues!"

"Um, excuse me guys. You're kinda disturbing other guests," the bartender Kyungsoo interjected making Lisa, Jungkook, Taehyung and Eunbi turn towards him. "I may have to ask you guys to settle your differences elsewhere."

"Good idea." Jungkook suddenly grabbed Lisa's hand and basically dragged her out of the bar. Eunbi was about to follow the two when Taehyung stopped her and dragged her towards a different direction.

"Ya! Let go of me you fvcking man-who—"

"Jealousy doesn't suit you, doll," he said as they stopped on the carpeted hallway. "If you badly want a taste of me, feel free to ask."

Lisa scoffed. "In you dreams, Jeon. I wouldn't be caught dead with the likes of you. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go somewhere else."

As she pivoted away, Jungkook caught her arm and violently tugged her towards him.

"If you're waiting for an explanation, doll, you won't be getting any."

"Coming from you? Of course I'm not expecting anything," she scoffed. "I would never expect anything from the great Jeon Jungkook who bangs every girl he sees."

"Stop acting like a jealous girlfriend!"

"Then stop making it seem like I am!" Lisa's eyes started to water. Jungkook's expression suddenly changed. "You say you're starting to have feelings for me. But even if we haven't started anything yet you cheat on me like I'm some useless piece of sh!t."

He fell silent as a single tear fell on her cheek which she immediately wiped off.

"You're right. I'm an insecure little girl. Being cheated on makes you like that, Jeon. I would always think twice whether I'm good enough. So thank you for giving me a clear answer."

She took her arm back and stormed pass him. And as soon as she turned right, she suddenly bumped into someone.

"Lis! I've been looking for you everywhere—are you crying?"

"Huh?" Lisa wiped off her tears. "No. Something just got stuck in my eye. I've been looking for you too. You left me alone in that boring reception."

Jisoo did not buy it. But due to the situation at hand, she let it slide.

"Anyways, it's Rosé. She's missing. And the guy in the bar said she took a bottle of whiskey with her."

🌸

"It would be faster if we split up."

Lisa said as they— Jisoo, Jin, Jimin and Hoseok, grabbed their coat and walked outside the building.

"Jisoo, you can check her apartment. Take Jin with you just in case. I'll check the bars in around. Hobi and Jimin, check the school grounds."

"I'll come with you," Jimin said. "You can't go in bars alone at this hour."

"I don't think that's a good idea, Jimin. Plus, I can take care of myself." She searched for her phone but couldn't find it inside her bag. "Sh!t. Let's meet at my pent after an hour or so. Finding Ro is our top priority. Are we clear?"

Everyone nodded and went their separate ways. She walked the opposite direction where the bars were located.

A black limo suddenly stopped beside her. Jeon.

"Get in." The guy said as the window opened.

Lisa did not even spare him a glance. "Not gonna happen."

"It would be faster, doll. Stop the hard-to-get attitude." The limo kept following her. "It's turning me on."

She rolled her eyes. "Go choke yourself, Jeon."

She continued to walk and ignored the limo driving at the same pace as she was.

Jungkook being not so patient, got off the car and blocked her path making her stop.

"I don't have time for your games, Jeon." Hand on her hip. "I need to go look for my best friend. So run along to those tramps of yours—"

Jungkook pulled Lisa by her waist and kissed her. It wasn't the same as what they shared back then. It was a lot more gentle, making her insides go jelly. She's mad at him. She is. Is she?

"I'm sorry, okay? I'm not very good at this sh!t and I'm confused as hell." He tucked the loose strands of her hair with his hand. "But I'm trying. So can you just please get in the car so we can go find Rosé?"

Lisa crossed her arms and pursed her lip. "You're lucky I'm in a hurry. But that doesn't mean we're okay."

"I just love it when you play hard to get." Jungkook said as he followed Lisa.

And far from the scene, Jimin saw the whole thing. With clenched fists, he walked away.

🌸

There, there, Park Jimin. I know it hurts to see the woman you love in the arms of someone else. But you screwed up, big time.

So many scandals, so little time. Secrets are about to unfold and I have the front row seat to each and every one of them. Don't believe me? See for yourself.

X's and O's, The Fate 💋
