Jungkook's pov~

After the award season ended with Gaon, we had straight 10 days of concerts abroad as part of our ongoing tour. Finished with touring South East Asia, we were back in Korea for a break.

Of 2 days.

After that we were flying to Japan.

Leaning back on the couch, I put my feet up on the coffee table. Since Jin wasn't home it was okay. That hyung had crazy OCD sometimes.

"Pay attention, Kookie. You're losing.", Jimin hyung said from beside me.

We were playing Overwatch. And though it was my favourite game, we had been at it for hours now. I was bored. And distracted.

For some reason I had been feeling way too restless since the Gaons.

Not going to analyse why. Nope. Not falling into the black hole that is Lisa...

I shook my head. Not today.

I put my controller down.

"Let's go out. We shouldn't spend our days off stuck inside the house. Besides, the rest of the hyungs are gone too."

Well, except for Suga hyung. He was currently sleeping soundly on the recliner beside the balcony. His soft snores were a weird soothing background music.

Rap Mon hyung was at the studios, something about a meeting with the higher ups.

Taehyung had forcefully dragged Jin out shopping with him.

And J-hope hyung was spending the break with his family.

"What do you suggest?", Jimin asked, stretching his arms and shaking his cramped fingers.

"Lets do bowling. I'll call Yugyeom too. I think he has today off as well."

I pulled out my phone and called Yugyeom, immediately.

"Hey", he answered on the second ring.

"Wanna go bowling? Jimin hyung is coming too."

"Sure. Pick me up in an hour."

"You got it."

I ended the call.

Jimin stared at me.

"You didn't even ask me."

I scratched my head.

"So, are you saying no?"

"Of course not, let's go."

We jumped up from the couch. We were making our way to our rooms to get ready when a groggy voice stopped us.

"Where are your manners? I'm your hyung and you didn't even ask me to join you.", Suga said in a deceptively soft voice, his eyes still closed.

Jimin and I looked at each other.

"Umm okay", Jimin began," hyung, do you want to come with us?"

"Fuck no. Get out. You're disturbing my nap."

He turned, showing us his back. Two seconds later, the snores continued.

Stepping out of the car, I pulled my jacket tighter around me. The weather was unusually chilly for this time of the year.

Jimin gestured for our security detail to wait outside as we walked inside the JYP building.

I texted Yugyeom.

*We're here.*

*Okay, I'll be there in a second.*

The visitors area was surprisingly empty. I took a seat on a comfortable couch. Jimin stood next to the newsstand, scanning the morning papers.

I was checking the comments under our latest BangtanTv video when I heard the elevator open. Expecting to see Yugyeom, I looked up.

Instead two blonde girls stepped out.

Fuck. Why today of all days...

The girl beside Lisa was a member of Twice. This time I knew her name. Momo was giggling loudly, animatedly speaking to Lisa.

Lisa on the other hand just had a soft smile on her face. Her timberlands made soft thumps on the floor as she gracefully walked in our direction.

She was wearing white shorts and a pink oversized crop top, showing off her toned stomach and abs.

I scowled.

She's going out dressed like that in this weather?

Because of my seating I was hidden from their direct view. But Jimin wasn't.

Lisa and Momo stopped in front of him, bowing respectfully. Jimin reciprocated.

I thought that would be the end of their interaction but Jimin said something to Lisa, causing her to look down and smile.

Momo excused herself.

What the fuck is going on?

I couldn't hear anything. I would have eavesdropped but they would notice me if I came forward.

Lisa was speaking now. Jimin was looking at her as if she hung the moon and stars.

I tensed, my fists clenched.

Where the fuck is Yugyeom?

Then Jimin said something that made Lisa blush hard.

Enough.

Just as I stood up the elevator opened again and Yugyeom came strolling out, interrupting their little moment.

Fucking finally.

They were bowing to each other when I joined them.

"Hey, Kookie.", Yugyeom gave me a one armed hug.

"It's good to see you again.", I replied but my eyes were on Lisa. She looked like she'd seen a ghost.

I gave her my signature grin.

"Okay, guys. It was nice meeting you. Goodbye." She hurriedly walked away in the opposite direction.

How rude. She didn't even bow to me.

"You guys go ahead. I'll be right back.", I whispered to Yugyeom and Jimin.

Thankfully they didn't question me, just made their way out of the building talking about some new restaurant they wanted to check out.

Lisa's pov~

I called Momo. She had abandoned me, thinking she was doing her duty as a friend because I had a crush on Jimin.

Being alone with him just made me embarrass myself more.

Then there was Jungkook. Seeing him made my heart beat faster than a racehorse. He was not good for my health or my peace of mind. His knowing gazes made me incredibly self conscious. I felt like he was reading me inside out and what he found he judged as lacking. But still my attraction to him wouldn't go down.

I was strolling along the hallway, trying to call Momo when a strong hand caught my upper arm, roughly dragging me to an alcove with a water cooler.

Jungkook pushed me against the side wall. His hands grabbed my waist, effectively trapping me.

"Stay away from him.", his voice was low but angry. His ridiculously beautiful face just inches away from mine.

I couldn't speak. His hands on my bare waist were giving me heart spasms. I looked down at them.

My waist looked very tiny under his big hands.

"Umm."

He pulled them away, shoving them in his jeans pockets.

"Stay away from Jimin.", he repeated, narrowing his eyes on me.

I wasn't the one who had approached Jimin. But what was his deal? He wasn't the boss of me.

"Why would I listen to you? It's not your business anyway." I folded my arms on my chest, suddenly way too conscious of my attire.

"It's my business because he's my friend and a part of my group. Maybe you have no regard for your job but he doesn't need any scandals in his life to ruin his. So stay away."

I winced. It felt like a slap in the face. Tears formed in my eyes.

Oh no, please no.

I willed them not to fall as I looked up.

Was that guilt that flashed in his face?

Before I could appropriately reply to his demeaning words, he had turned away, leaving me alone in the deserted hallway.

Momo found me leaning by the side of the elevator, my eyes closed as I pinched the bridge of my nose.

"Are you okay, Lisa?", she asked worriedly.

"Yeah just not feeling all that good. Can we do the movie some other time?"

She looked at me closely.

"Is it boy problems?"

I smiled softly."You're very perceptive."

"C'mon." She pulled me towards the exit."It's never good to bottle up these kind of troubles. I know a place that sells heavenly gelato. Ice cream heals everything."

I laughed, letting her lead me out of the building.
