Jungkook can't help the stupid grin plastered on his face as he makes his way back to the VIP area and his friends. The loud and excited cheer of congratulating him for sealing the deal had him rubbing his neck in embarrassment. 

These nosy pricks - they really did pay attention to what happened on the dance floor! Annoying -

He glanced at the far end of the bar to make sure Lisa found her way to the Ladies before sitting down - texting his driver to come in 5 minutes. 

"Yahh you don't have to be so obvious about it Gook! There are people in here too, you know!" DK teased and it took a while for Jungkook to understand what he meant. When he did, he lets out a sighing smile.

"That's so hot though - not gonna lie! It's like soft-porn for me, the way she moves sexily on your body -" Yugyeom stopped mimicking when he shot the guy with a glare. They can tease him all they want, but leave Lisa out of it!

"Yeah fuck - where do I find me someone like that? Can you move like that?" Minghao asked the girl clinging onto his neck. She laughed and tugged on his hand - leading him out the area as the guys shouted unintelligent and non-sensical words to him. Jungkook shook his head as he sat down and look at the reply from his driver. 

Of course, no one could come close with my Lisa so I'm not even bothered to look!

"I'm leaving shortly," He said to Jaehyun, who nodded with his usual knowing smile in return.

"So what's the deal, Kook? You're gonna fuck her after this or what -"

"Yahh! Why are you trying to piss him off like that - stop it!" Jaehyun shouts as Jungkook threw a piercing look to the asshole. 

He's damn right - why the fuck can't he back off?

"What? It's not like he's a fucking saint!" Jungkook shook his head and looks down to his phone to distract himself. 

If Mingyu wants to act like a sore loser, he can do it on his own! It's not even a fucking competition - the girl made her choice and I earned that kiss fairly! He tried but she got in the car with me!

"So tell us tomorrow how it went - who is better, Sana or her. Or even better - tape it -"

Jungkook was so ready to jump on the ignorant asshole - his hand already formed a fist - when he caught a shadow next to him. He looks up to find Lisa - wide, glistening eyes, staring at Mingyu before landing on him.

Fuck!

...

She stomped out as fast as she could - bearing the hurt and humiliation she felt from Mingyu's words. 

Men! They can be such assholes and the lowest of low! What kind of conversations do these rich people have - ugh!! Shit...I feel sick -

She clutched on the wall as she got out, taking a deep breath to help calm the fury. 

"Lisa, please - it's not what -"

"Leave me alone!" She shouts, slapping his hand away from her back and earning a concerned stare from the bouncer. 

Jungkook continued to match her quick steps - pleading for her to stop and listen - but she was just too furious to care! 

"You and your friends can go to hell for all I care -"

"No, please! Lisa, please listen -"

"You think just cus you have money - and - and power, that you can treat and talk about people like they're some kind of sex objects? You're just a bunch of pigs, you know that -"

"I'm not like -"

"I trusted you!" She shouts with all her might - letting her frustrations out and stopping his tracks upon blocking her. She noticed her coat and bags in his hand and snapped both out of his hold. "I trusted you and I told you - I shared things with you and you - you could be a fucking jerk about it and talk about it to your friends, laugh as if my life don't matter -"

"Stop - it's not at all like that -"

"Oh yeah, you haven't fucked me yet right? What - did you guys bet on me? See who gets to fuck me first to brag about it and compare with your fucking exes -"

"Just stop, let me explain -"

"There's nothing to explain! I heard what he said - that's a fact of what happened and it's what I know. I can't believe you - I was so stupid to think," She looks down to her pained feet, holding back the tears that's threatening to burst. "I shared things with you...things I never shared with anyone -"

"And I loved you for it! God-damn it - will you just hear me out?!" He snapped and she stood in shock over the loud and sharp tone she's hearing for the first time. 

Hang on - did he just...he...he said -

"They're my friends...unfortunately, we don't have the same outlook on things but they are my friends. I'm not defending whatever he said - he was wrong, dead wrong to say those things and I would've punched him in the face if you hadn't shown up and saved him from it. Mingyu can be an asshole if he doesn't get what he wants - am I right to assume that he was the one who got you upset at the wedding? Please...please...I wouldn't have let him get away with it if I didn't feel more strongly on chasing after you!"

His eyes glistened and she wasn't sure if it's an effect from this dimmed street lights or if he's about to cry. He clutched on his knees and sighed as if he's suppressing the frustrations inside.

"God, why is it so hard? This whole night - I feel like I'd been thrown back and forth and I'm tired -"

"Then just quit. Leave," It hurts her to say it, but it's even more hurtful to hear him saying those words in defeat - as if she's too much for him to handle.

He looks up and there's pain in his eyes. Lisa felt the first drop of tears on her left cheek, but she can't find the strength to wipe it away. 

Why is it so hard? He was right. Everything she's feeling for the man in front of her...how did it got too much in such a short period? It hurts her to hear it...to be compared to another woman that used to be - or probably still is - in his life? She wants to be the only one...she realized it now how she wanted so much -

"I don't want to," He shook his head and walks up to her, closing her in his arms and holding her tightly. "I don't want to. Please...I'm not like them. You should know by now that I'm not like them. Don't cry, please...don't cry. I'm sorry! I'm sorry for their ignorance, I'm sorry that you're hurt - I would never do that, please believe me..."

Lisa sobbed in his chest as she gave in to the overwhelming emotions flooding in her chest. The sounds of her cry starts to appear louder - drowning his words - but he provided the solace she needed. She felt safe - how is it even possible that she could feel the safest in these arms of someone she just met?
