CHAPTER 20
Lisa
Recieving the same message from YG and BigHit, Jungkook and I arrived in the said location. The conference room of YG.
As we walk down the hallway, Jungkook held my wrist to stop me from walking.
"If anything happens inside... let's stay quiet. I don't want to risk our careers as well as our relationship." Jungkook said.
I nodded at him, "I know."
He gave me a forehead kiss before pulling away.
We entered the conference room, almost dropping our jaws in surprise when we saw the whole Blackpink and BTS as well as Mingyu and Bambam in one room.
"Take your seats." Hwang Sajangnim spoke.
Despite the unstable feeling, I saw my unnies already reserved a seat between Chaeng and Jisoo unnie. I immediately took my seat and so is Jungkook.
Bang PD was seating at the other end of the table while Hwang Sajangnim is seated on the other end in between Mingyu and Bambam.
I looked at Mingyu and he had bruises on his face as well as bandages.
I glanced at Jungkook and he was just fidgeting his fingers while lowering his head. He's obviously avoiding any eye contact as much as possible.
"Shall we begin?" BangPD spoke.
"First, I want to address the matter regarding Jungkook and Mingyu." He continued.
"With Bambam as the witness, I would appreciate it if you tell us the details." BangPD said and all heads turned to Bambam.
Oh, how much pressure must he be feeling right now without JYP Sajangnim.
Bambam looked away and sighed, "Why bother asking me? Just ask the two douchebags."
"Well then, Jungkook. Give us atleast three good reasons why you punched Mingyu in the face. Pledis might drop the alliance against our company for your pathetic careless actions." BangPD spat.
Jungkook rolled his eyes and stayed quiet. He literally plans on staying silent for the whole meeting. But he'll only end up provoking the bosses if he acts like a spoiled brat now!
Mingyu cleared his throat, "Perhaps I can explain what happened last night."
"Go ahead." BangPD permitted.
"He went on to me just because I'm already dating Lisa which happens to be his ex." Mingyu spoke.
My eyes widened, "H-Hey! Kim Mingyu!"
What the fuck did he just say?! He's talking casually with all those words to drag us down with him!
"Dating? Ex? Lisa?" Hwang Sajangnim turned to me.
"I-It's not—"
"It's true. And I really think she's still in a relationship with Jungkook." Mingyu cuts me off.
"Jeon Jungkook, is this true?" BangPD turned to Jungkook.
Jungkook clenched his fists and poked his inner cheek with his tongue out of annoyance.
"YG Sajangnim, BangPD, I think it's fine to date since our dating bans are already over—"
"You work under my entertainment, you work under my rules." BangPD cuts Namjoon Oppa's sentence.
"I do not tolerate Blackpink to date. This is strictly a rule I honed them into. What I heard just now is very disappointing." YG Sajangnim spoke.
I pursed my lips, feeling guilty.
Everyone is here and is getting blamed for the mess I did. If only I didn't date Mingyu, none of this would've gone further.
I lowered my head and tried my best to stop my tears, "I'm very sorry, Sajangnim."
"I don't accept apologies Lisa. You and your band might as well just have your comeback by years." Hwang Sajangnim said, making Jennie unjie gasped and our eyes widen.
"Sajangnim!" Rosé bursted out.
I clenched my fist, "Why drag my band?! Just punish me, Sajangnim!"
"No, punish me instead!" Jungkook stood up.
BangPD banged the table with his fist, "Sit down, Jungkook. This is not your matter to fix!"
"Sajangnim, you can reduce my lines, remove me from dance breaks or even decline my cfs! Please, don't drag my unnies into this!" I begged.
Jisoo unnie held my shoulders, "Lisa." and that's when I realized I was already in tears.
Hwang Sajangnim pursed her lips, "Fine."
I sighed in relief after hearing Sajangnim's approval. Jungkook was about to stand up again but I looked at him and shook my head, "Don't."
"But in one condition." Hwang Sajangnim spoke again.
We all turned our attention back to her but Hwang Sajangnim looked at BangPD and motioned him to continue the statement instead.
"End your relationship with Jungkook once and for all and I might as well think twice about Jungkook's punishment." BangPD said.
Jungkook turned to BangPD, "Sajangnim!"
"Now, Miss Lisa. Will you agree with us?" BangPD tilted his head at me.
I bit my lips in frustration.
All of this is happening just because I wanted to experience a little bit freedom. I wanted to feel more human.
Just because of my selfish actions.
There's no one to blame but me.
I shut my eyes close, letting tears fall from my eyes. Everyone is dragged in this mess because of me.
I raise my head up and turned to Hwang Sajangnim.
Why do I have to choose between friendship, career, love, and dream? But the heaviest responsibilty about all of those is also choosing for BTS and Blackpink. Ten other idols who's willing to dedicate everything for their dreams.
I heaved a deep breath before finally settling with final answer.
"Ye—"
When I was about to give of the decision, Namjoon oppa suddenly stood up from his seat.
"What are you doing, Namjoon? Take your seat." BangPD ordered.
Namjoon Oppa shook his head, "Sajangnim, if you don't allow them to atleast live their lives as normal people, I'm leaving the group."
"Hyung!" Jungkook's eyes widened as well as ours.
"That's right! I'm willing to leave the group if you won't give us atleast this small amount of freedom! And Lisa's not just the only one dating here! I've been dating Kim Taehyung for the past 2 years!" Jennie unnie stood up next.
"U-Unnie, what are you doing?!" I eyed her in disbelief.
The rest of the bangtan members stood up next, "We're willing to disband if you won't allow me and Jin hyung to date Chaeyoung and Jisoo noona." Jimin spat.
Hwang Sajangnim's eyes widened, "What kind of sick joke is this?!"
"W-Where not joking, Sajangnim. I've been dating Jimin Sunbae for a year now." Chaeyoung stuttered.
Jisoo unnie stood up, "And if you don't allow us, we're more than thankful for allowing us to work in your entertainment, Hwang Sajangnim."
"T-They're just bluffing!" Mingyu punched the table.
"Shut up, snitch. You're ruining the moment." Bambam threw a ballpen at Mingyu.
Namjoon Oppa sighed, "That's a deal for a deal. We're not doing this for ourselves. We're all doing this because it's suppose to happen this way."
"We're not idols who were built with metal and programmed functions. We're humans too." Jisoo unnie spoke next.
"She's right. What's so harmful about letting your idols be happy with their loved ones?" Suga Oppa spat.
All of us went silent.
I'm the only person left who's still sitting on my chair. I lowered my head ans started sobbing.
My unnies and oppas went this far for me. They stood up for me when I was about to give up on myself.
"Hwang Sajangnim, BangPDnim." Bambam stood up.
"You can just disband BTS and Blackpink from UMG and Billboards if you want. You can disband BTS and Blackpink from the Kpop industry. You can just disband both moneymakers of your entertainments. Pretty much a lot of options. Tho, just my opinion." Bambam shrugged his shoulders.
BangPD gave us all a glaring look while Hwang Sajangnim clenched his jaw.
"If this is a prank, you better tell us now." BangPD spat.
I stood up, "You can take it whatever you like. But I'm serious about my relationship to Jeon Jungkook."
Jungkook looked at me with his wide eyes. I smiled at him, sending him a message that it's alright. Everything's gonna be okay.
Hwang Sajangnim suddenly slumped down and held the temple of her head. All of us became silent when BangPD and Hwang Sajangnim looked at each other with those communicating eyes again.
Then Hwang Sajangnim nodded at BangPD. He slumped back down on his chair and started rumaging inside his pocket.
We all watched BangPD clicking randomly on his cellphone and putting it on his left ear. Seemingly, he's trying to call someone.
"BangPDnim?" We heard a voice from the other line.
BangPD purposely turned on the liudspeaker for all of us to hear.
"Tell Dispatch to release the articles. Our statement must be posted. On behalf of YG, we're on full support regarding BTS and Blackpink's dating rumors."
