Whatever It Takes

"I don't want to leak this if there isn't proof," Roseanne said.

Seonghwa raised an eyebrow. "Are you messing with me? I'm showing you a picture of Chou Tzuyu kissing Jeong Jaehyun while her supposed boyfriend, Jeon Jungkook, is looking on. He looks fit to murder."

"For all we know," Roseanne argued. "This picture could be fake. It could be photoshopped."

"It's not."

"How do you know that? Can you prove it isn't? Or, what if it's an old picture before Jungkook and Tzuyu started dating?"

"I have proof for all these questions," Seonghwa answered. He grinned before tapping his chin thoughtfully. "Why don't we do the video here?"

"Seonghwa, I would love to collab with you. Trust me, I know I need the exposure despite you calling me the 'it girl' right now. I just can't get caught up in a drama especially if that drama involves a possible lie."

"Fine, I won't show this picture in the video unless I can prove its authenticity. Fair enough?"

Roseanne nodded. As much as she wanted to collaborate on a video with Seonghwa Spills, she knew it would hurt her more than help her if they talked about something that was a regular gossip or lie.

"What are we going to talk about then?" Roseanne asked.

Seonghwa smirked. "We can talk about anything. I'm a gossip channel who talks about celebrity news and gossip so nothing is off-limits. Is there anyone you don't like? Maybe I have some tea on that person and we can go from there."

"No," Roseanne shook her head. "The only ones I can think of are gossip channels."

"Then shall we get started?"

"You promise you won't show that picture of Tzuyu kissing Jaehyun?" Roseanne asked.

While she didn't want to air the picture on his podcast, Roseanne was keeping the image in her head for future use. So far, she had a bloody book stop and the picture of Tzuyu cheating. Was it possible Jungkook killed Tzuyu in a jealous rage? Or did Jaehyun kill her to prevent her from exposing their relationship to Jungkook? Roseanne guessed Jaehyun would be kicked out of Trinity if it was discovered that Jaehyun was backstabbing Jungkook.

"If I don't have proof," Seonghwa said, holding up his hand as if he were taking an oath. "Then I won't share the picture."

"Okay, let's do this," Roseanne said.

Yuju was standing nearby. When they both stood up, she hurried to them. "Can I get you anything, Seonghwa? I absolutely love watching your videos. They're always so entertaining and funny. You're always fair in your videos. I can't believe I'm actually meeting you right now."

Seonghwa looked back at Roseanne with another raised eyebrow. "Should I be worried?"

"I had no idea she was such a huge fan of yours but don't worry, she's harmless," Roseanne explained.

"Rosie," Mark called out. He walked over to them and frowned as he took in Seonghwa. "Seokjin called. He said he wants to meet with you when you get home today. He said he's been trying to reach you."

"I'll talk to him but did he say what he wanted?" Roseanne asked.

Mark lifted his arms in exasperation. "No, but it's Seokjin so it could be anything. He might want to talk to you about the pool party he's throwing."

"He's scrumptious," Seonghwa murmured, staring at Mark who turned to greet a new customer.

"He's taken," Roseanne replied.
