👄 The Fate
Hey there my darling demigods. The Fate here. My e-mail notification's been buzzing quite more than the usual. My scandal senses are tingling. Hold on to your seats, everyone. Someone decided to crash the party.
"We searched at every bar in the city. We still couldn't find her."
Lisa had her hand on her forehead as she paced back and forth in her. Jisoo and Jin were there and they too did not find Rosé or any trace leading to her whereabouts.
"I've been calling her but she won't answer," Jin said with his phone still stuck on his ear. "Now it's turned off."
"Where can she be?" Jisoo asked. "Where do you think she'd possibly go?"
"Whenever she feels sad or anything she'd always go home and lock herself inside her room. But if she had alcohol, she's most likely go bar hopping and sometimes end with a casual hook-up." She answered. It didn't help that she lost her phone as well. "Gods know where Ro is."
"Here." Jungkook gave her a glass of water. "You're starting to hyperventilate."
As soon as she drank the "water", she spat it out.
"What the fvck?! This is vodka!"
"Same thing. It'll help calm your nerves."
She gave it back to him and hissed. "Assh*le."
"Thanks."
"Did Hoseok call yet? She might be in the schoo—"
The elevator leading to the pent opened. All of them turned towards it and saw Jimin.
"Jimin did you find Ro— Oh my Gods!"
He walked past her and punched Jungkook straight on his face.
"You traitor!" He charged at him and on instinct, Jungkook fended himself. "You know how much I love her!"
"And yet you cheated," Jungkook spat. "Your loss, my gain."
"You fvcking d*ck!"
"Stop it you two—" Lisa tried to stop the guys but she was pushed by Jimin making her hit the coffee table.
"Lisa!" Hoseok immediately helped her get up. "Are you okay? Did you hit your head?"
"I'm fine. I'm fine." Her hand on the back of her head. "Last time I checked, Park Jimin, you cheated first. I can date whoever I want and when I want to. In case it slipped your mind, we're broken up."
Jungkook smirked making Jimin a lot more pissed than he already is.
"And as for you," Lisa looked at Jungkook. "Don't speak highly of yourself. You're not exactly Mother Theresa either. So shut the fvck up."
She grabbed her purse on the table.
"Hoseok, come with me. Let's go around town again to check. Jin and Jisoo, I need you two to get some fresh towels and a warm bath ready when we get back. Just in case Rosé's wasted. She then looked at the two men glaring at each other. "As for you two, if you're not going to be of use, I suggest the both of you to leave."
The two boys glared at each other ready to pounce. But Jin was in between so neither one got through.
Just as Lisa and Hoseok were about to walk towards the elevator, someone they least expected came out of it.
"Lisa!" Jennie exclaimed as she saw the girl. "Thank gods you're here."
"What are you doing here?" She blurted out. And just as she was about to talk, Namjoon walked in carrying someone in his arms.
"Rosie!"
🌸
Rosé's eyes fluttered open. Stars. What's she doing in Lisa's room?
"Thank gods you're finally awake!" Lisa exclaimed from beside her. She was in her pajama and noticed she herself was in one too. "What the hell was that Park Roseanne?! Jisoo said you stormed out of the reception with a bottle of whiskey after getting a text. What was it and did you fvcking know how worried we were?!"
She blinked. Lisa looked pissed.
"Good morning to you too, Lis."
"Answer me, Park. What happened—"

SPOTTED. Little Ro making out with not just one but two strangers in a bar. Don't go in too deep Rosie. You might be Poseidon's daughter but you can't swim up if you're getting dragged down. Guess being Miss Perfect has its very own expiration date. Let's what dear 'ol daddy has to say about this.
Lisa threw her phone.
"Talk, Roseanne Park. Or I will strangle the fvcking truth out of you." She glared at her best friend. "And you know I will do it."
"I... I can't tell you, Lis." Rosé let out her supressed sobs. "If you know about this, you'll get involved too. I... I don't want you to get involved with this mess..."
"Ro..." Lisa heaved a sigh. "You seem to have forgotten that my middle name is mess. I'm an expert at that so lemme guide you, virgin."
Rosé didn't say a word. But judging from how Lisa looked at her, she was sure as hell that she won't go through the day unscathed.
"Promise me you wouldn't tell anyone. That this is just between you and me."
"Of course, Ro. I swear by the river of Styxx."
She heaved a sigh before speaking. "That night, after what happened to Jimin and me, I've become kinda distant with you, right?"
Lisa nodded.
"Well, I felt so guilty that I couldn't face you. That's when I became close to Tzuyu."
"Tzuyu? Eris' daughter?"
She nodded.
"We hung out a lot and did some bad things together."
Lisa's eyebrows furrowed. She knew Tzuyu very well. She takes a lot from her mother. Spewing trouble here and there. Almost started a war between the Gods themselves.
"What kind of bad things?"
"Cut school, shoplifting, partying and drinking..." Before she could get to the last part, she took a deep breath. "We killed someone."
Lisa's mouth flew open just as a tray suddenly fell on the floor. Rosé's eyes widened at the sight of Park Jimin.
"You what?!"
Rosé buried her face in her hands as she cried. "I... I didn't mean it! I was so drunk that when that guy she's with started to touch me, I pushed him off. I didn't realize that he'd trip and hit his head."
"When did this happen, Rosé?" Jimin asked. "Was it before or after you lost..."
"That's the thing, Jimin," she answered. "It caused the miscarriage. I lost the baby because I was so stressed with what just happened. I'm so sorry... I didn't... mean for it to happen. I was confused and... and I didn't know what to do. I had no one to turn to besides her. So when she said she'll help me forget my problems, I cane with her."
Rosé's cries grew louder.
"You were pregnant?!" Lisa blurted out. "Holy sh!t! It was Jimin's?"
She nodded. "I didn't mean to lose the baby. I didn't know what to do and everything... I just couldn't handle it anymore. And when you came back, I was already depressed since I'd always think about the guy we accidentally killed, the baby I lost and my best friend who's mad at me."
Jimin pulled Rosé into his arms and calmed her down. Lisa's expression softened as she too comforted her best friend.
"Shh..." Jimin gently brushed her hair. "It's okay, Rosé. It's okay. We're here for you."
"Yeah. I was hurt, yes but, I love you and I can never get mad at you for a long time," Lisa explained. "With the baby, maybe it wasn't the right time. You'll have tons of babies when you're ready. Also about the dead guy, I'm sure Tzuyu disposed it well. And we won't tell a soul about it. Even if they torture us, we won't speak."
Rosé turned towards her best friend, still having a worried expression.
"I know you won't rat me out," she said. "But last night... Tzuyu... she sent me an email."
Lisa's eyebrows furrowed.
"She said she's back and that we're going to have a lot of fun together."
"Maybe she just wants to hang out?" Jimin said. She shook her head no.
"There was a file attached to it. It's a video of me pushing that guy." She looked at Lisa. "She's not her to hang out, Lis. She's here to torture me again."
🌸
As Jungkook walked the halls of Olympus High, it couldn't be ignored that almost all of the girls in the hallway fawned over him. He was used to it, really.But right now, he only had eyes for one person. He winked at a certain female leaning beside his locker.
"Miss me already, doll?" he teased.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, Jeon. But I still loathe you after that thing you pulled on me at the wedding." Her lips pursed and arms crossed. Is there any more attractive human being than Min Lalisa? "I'm here for one reason and that reason alone."
"What is it?"
"Chou Tzuyu. She's torturing Rose so I need a plan to banish that girl out of the city."
"That b!tch? No way," he immediately said. "You know I've been avoiding her since the 6th grade."
Lisa rolled her eyes. "Why? Was losing your virginity to her that big of a deal?"
"That b!tch is a psycho, doll. And I'm not even exaggerating."
"Ugh." Lisa crossed her arms. "If I knew you'd be a fvcking p^ssy I would've just asked Jimin's help."
She was about to leave when Jungkook stopped her.
"Okay fine. I'll help," he said making Lisa smile for a bit then slowly turned to him with a poker face on. "But I'll only help you plot against her. You do the confrontation thing."
"Great. So I'll see you over in my pent?"
"Yeah. Sure."
Lisa started to walk away but stopped midway. Then she slowly turned towards Jungkook.
"Oh and Kookie," she said with a sweet smile on her face. "Tonight's strictly PG-13. Don't get your hopes up for nothing."
The she walked away making Jungkook smile to himself. He's not sure whether he was fine or pissed. Eitherway, he can't really say no to her.
🌸
As the school bell rang, Rose adjusted the strap of her bag before closing her locker door. But as it slammed, the face of the devil showed.
"Hey Ro!"
"Holy sh--Tzuyu!"
"I missed you for a month now," Tzuyu said as she showed her an innocent smile. "Are you still hanging out with Lisa? II heard about her condition thing about the Jimin scandal so I guess now we can hang out again like we used to--"
"I-I have to go Tzuyu. I'll be late for class." She walked pass her but she managed to grab my arm. She flinched.
"It's your free period, Ro," she said calmly. Rose looked at her shocked. "You seem to have forgotten that I memorized your schedule. It's my free period too so we can totes hang out at our old place behind the school gym."
"I-I have tutorial class, Tzu. I signed up for it just recently so it wasn't included in my schedule," she reasoned out. "In fact, I'm on my way to the library right now."
Tzuyu didn't look convinced. But she ignored it and excused herself. And knowing the daughter of the Goddess of Chaos herself, she would follow her so she made her way towards the school library.
She looked around to see if there was a familiar face around.
"J-Jimin!" she called. Heads turned towards her as the Librarian 'shushed' her. Apologizing, she sprinted towards the table where a baffled Park Jimin sat.
"What are you doing--"
"Hi Jimin!" Tzuyu suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "I didn't know you were in the tutoring class? You're a straight A student."
"Wha--"
"It's football season, Tzu," she cut him off earning her a questioning look from Jimin. "He's just making sure he doesn't get anything wrong for the exams next week. A grade as low as B- can kick him out of the captain spot. Just a precaution. Right, Jimin?"
Jimin looked at her with a knot on his forehead. She secretly kicked his knee making him say yes and throw daggers at her.
"Oh, okay," she cheerfully said. "I guess I'll just hang with you some other time Ro. I'll see you later!"
"Yeah, see you later."
As Tzuyu disappeared from their view, Jimin immediately looked at Rose.
"What was that?"
"She wouldn't stop so I lied," she explained. "I'm desperate."
"I see that. But you didn't have to kick me that hard."
"It was taking you so long to answer!" she defended.
"How was I supposed to know I was a cover-up?"
"What do you expect me to say? 'Hey Jimin I need you to help me make an excuse 'coz this crazy b!tch is a freakin' stalker'?" She said moving her hand at the same time. "She was right behind me!"
"Fine," he said. "Whatever."
Then an awkward silence was present between the two. Jimin broke the ice.
"Ro."
Rose looked at him. "Hmm?"
"I'm sorry," he said. "About everything."
"It's fine. It's all in the past. Lisa forgave us--"
"No, not that." His hand landed on my hand that rested on the table. He gently squeezed it. "I'm sorry I wasn't there when you lost our baby. I should've supported you more. I should've kept an eye on you--"
"It's fine, Jimin." She smiled--genuinely. "Maybe it wasn't just the right time yet. And we're young. We're entitled to at least mess up once."
"Thanks Ro," he smiled. "For what its worth, you would've made a great mom. I know you would."
🌸
"We're not done yet, Little Rosie," Tzuyu said as she ended the phone call. She secretly called her number using Jimin's phone which was on the table. She knew Rose was lying. And she heard everything. "The game's just about to start."
🌸
Yoongi was sitting comfortably by the park bench when suddenly a dog tackled him.
"Woah!"
"Oh my! Dewy! Bad dog!"
A woman—fair complexion and long dark brown hair, ran towards them and gently pulled the dog's leash.
"I'm really sorry. I've been training him for months but he's too stubborn."
Yoongi crouched down and started to pet the furry dog who seems to like it. "I understand. I have a dog too who seems to only listen to my sister."
"Really? What breed?"
"Uh..." He contemplated whether or not to reveal that his dog, Cerberus, is a three headed monster-dog who's around 3-story high. "Mixed. He's mixed."
"Oh." She smiled. "But I bet he's more trained than Dewy here. All he knows is eating and eating my shoes."
"Well, he'll eventually learn. Just don't lose patience on him." He rubbed the dog's soft fur. "It'll be worth it."
"Well that's deep," she said and chuckled. "I'm on my way to have a cup of coffee. You wanna come with? I'd like to hear more wise words from you Mr..."
"Yoongi. Just call me Yoongi." He smiled. "And sure. A cup of coffee won't hurt. By the way, what's your name?"
"Oh, I'm Tzuyu. Chou Tzuyu."
🌸
SPOTTED, the ever elusive Min Yoongi out on a coffee date. Is he finally over Little Ro? Or is this another elaborate scheme? Of whose, I'm not certain. But I do smell that the golden apple of discord has finally rolled again.
You know you love me.
x's and o's, The Fate
