Jungkook's pov~

"And I am with my girlfriend right now."

Okay, maybe that wasn't the smartest thing to come out of my mouth. Certainly not when I was trying to get back into Lisa's good graces.

She was scowling at me like I had simultaneously strangled her puppy and set her house on fire. I gulped. Fearing for my life.

The contrast of her cute puffy marshmallow face and serial-killer eyes was throwing me off though. She looked like an adorable potato out for murder.

My adorable potato...

I was perplexed wether to run out of the room or kiss her senseless.

"Jungkook. Do you think I'm a doormat?", she spoke softly but the anger simmering beneath couldn't be ignored. Very reasonable anger. I had fucked up big.

"No, doll.", I sighed ruefully.

"Really?", she hissed. "Because you seem to think you can walk in and out of my life whenever it pleases you."

I bristled, her words striking a nerve." You're the one who walked out Lisa."

Damnit, why can't I shut up for once?

Her ire seemed to melt away and she turned her face away from me. Suddenly she looked exhausted, like all the happenings of the past few days were finally catching up to her.

No no no. I'd rather see her livid and spitting fire at me than defeated.

I cupped her cheeks, making her face me again. "I know why you did it. Rosé told me everything. If you had just talked to me–", I cut myself off, not wanting to get into the what ifs. Undermining what she'd done for me was not on my agenda, ever." Nonetheless, you don't ever have to worry about protecting me from Tzuyu again, I took care—"

"Aah.", she interrupted, shrugging off my hands from her face. "I get it now. Now that you know the truth, you don't have any reason to be mad, right? L-Let's just pretend you didn't humiliate me that night, let's ignore how you disrespected me in front of a stranger.", she stuttered out.

Her eyes shined with unshed tears and I wanted to kill my self for putting them there.

Voice trembling, she continued, "I had to see the boy I love with multiple women but let's just brush that under the rug because now Jungkook knows the truth."

Lisa held her hands out as if coming to a revelation, the pain on her face cutting me deep. "So now everything's going to go back to how it was. Because Jungkook's feelings are the only ones that matter here right?"

Tears overflowed from her eyes but her face remained stoic, unflinching.

The woman in front of me had more strength than anyone I had met in my life. The amount of respect I had for her rivalled only how much I loved her. But as much as I loathe to admit it, I had failed in expressing either of the emotions. And I was paying a heavy price for it.

Better late than never though. I was nothing if not selfish to the core. And I craved, no, needed Lisa's presence in my life to survive.

I'll do anything to get her back by my side. Even beg.

Her eyes widened like saucers as I knelt on the floor beside the bed. "What–Jungkook, what are you doing?"

I moved closer to her side, still on my knees. "Do you remember, doll, what I said when you broke up with me? I told you I wouldn't take you back even if you came crawling to me on your hands and knees."

Taking her soft hands in mine, I placed them on either side of my face. Emotion and determination warred within me as I spoke."I'm eating my words, doll. And asking you..."

I kissed her wrists before gazing at her beautiful face resolutely."...to be the bigger person. And take me back, as I come crawling to you on my hands and knees."

A sob escaped her. "Jungkook..", she hiccuped.

"I know I don't deserve your forgiveness. And I'll never make excuses for what I said. I was bitter and angry at you for taking away the most precious thing in my life.", this time it was my voice that trembled.

"And I was so damn paranoid that you had found someone else. Someone who gave you all of his time and attention, someone who didn't have to run off to some other girl time and again. I was scared you had found someone better and that's why you were breaking up with me."

Lisa bit her lips, those beautiful round eyes I loved so much now swollen from crying. "You're so stupid."

"I know, baby. So stupidly in love with you that I fucked everything up for myself. For both of us. I'm so sorry, doll. You'd never know how much."

"I don't know—"

Hurried footsteps in the corridor outside sounded. The rest of Blackpink was here.

Reaching up, I wiped the tears off her cheeks gently. "You don't have to say anything right now, baby. I don't expect you to forgive me so easily. Besides, you have all the time in the world to make me pay, I'm at your service."

A giggle burst out of her as she wiped her cute red nose. " Are you saying you're finally my slave?"

"I'll be whatever you want." Standing up, I pecked her forehead before stepping back.

A devious glint entered her eyes and I knew this wasn't going to be easy. Just as the Jisoo, Jennie and Rosé burst into the room, she spoke,"Okay, then. Go get me an iced latte. Oh and a slice of blueberry cheesecake too. If you're not back here in twenty minutes, I'm not forgiving you."

I scoffed, "Give me ten."

Then I hightailed out of the room.

Lisa's pov~

After a series of hugs, kisses and threats to never pull another dangerous stunt again Rosé, Jennie and Jisoo let up a little on the smothering. Only a little.

Jennie handed me my phone and took a seat beside me, Rosé on my other side. Jisoo just plopped down in the middle, sprawled across the hospital bed like an overgrown caterpillar.

I immediately went to our instagram to check the messages left by blinks. "Are the fans outside okay?", I asked.

"Yeah.", Jennie answered. "They're happy that you're alright."

Smiling as I waded through the supportive messages, I leaned against Rosé who combed back my hair. I knew she was the most shaken from what had happened.

Jisoo balanced her chin on her hands, closely scrutinising me. "What was happening when we came in here? Did you forgive Jungkook?"

I pursed my lips. "Not exactly."

Rosé stopped caressing my hair. "He loves you, you know.", she sighed into my ear. "Maybe he just doesn't know how to express himself. People are like that sometimes."

"Rosé is right.", Jennie supplied.

My jaw dropped. "Jennie unnie, you're taking his side too?"

"Well...um.", she dithered, so Jisoo continued for her.

"After what he did yesterday. I'm pretty impressed too."

I'm sure my face showed exactly how blank I was. "What?", I asked, gazing at each of them.

What had he done?

Instead of answering me, Jisoo just turned on the television mounted on the wall opposite. Immediately switching to a news channel.

The headline made me gasp out loud. The news anchor indifferently narrated the downfall of one of the most loved girl idol in the nation.

Did you forgive Jungkook yet?

I started this fic while on vacation. I'm on vacation again, so I might end it on one too. I feel rather satisfied right now.
