Alexis was sitting on the couch when she saw Tae whisper something to Ru and leave. They'd been catching up on everything that had happened in the past hour.

Over the corner of her shoulder she'd seen Jungkook on his phone. Normally she wouldn't have paid attention if it wasn't for the look on his face. His expression turned to one of deep anger or concentration. The way his emotion sat on his shoulders and his posture seemed to change to something...violent. When he looked up and saw her looking she immediately faced front nervously biting her thumbnail.

Jungkook had enough of the group's nagging for tonight. Jimin was clearly up to no good. Joon was being ill-spirited, Hoseok was being...Hoseok. As usual he could count on Jin to be supportive and Yoongi to not care.

He'd taken his shoes off when he came into the loft by habit. So within seconds Jungkook jumped over the couch landing next to Alexis quickly laying his head in her lap. He looked up at her and winked. She smiled softly and stroked his hair. Her fingers felt like heaven in this moment. Eventually Ru sat in front of them on one of the nearby chairs.

"What the fuck Alexis?" She asked shocked.

She pointed down. "What the fuck indeed."

"Girls it's simple. We're falling in love. Let's just go with it." Jungkook grumbled getting sleepy as he pulled his phone out of his pocket.

"Jungkook can I ask you a question?"

"Anything sis in law." He smiled a toothy grin as he searched through images in his phone's gallery. He'd prove Alexis wrong. She was more than his type.

Ru had no idea where to begin. Professionally she was wrong but her heart and mind were at odds here.

"I expect you to be honest.  We're probably the worst women you could toy with, so just what kind of game are you guys playing here? I'm a PR agent and Alexis is the most sought after photographer in LA. Getting dirt on people is as easy as breathing to us. We can make or break careers. So, what is this?" Ru was good at stretching the limits of her imagination. Disappointment was not something she was prepared to deal with in her own life. If hell was coming she needed to know so she could get ready.

"I see why Tae likes you. If this was a game, why would we play it with you two of all people? We're not stupid. The industry is ruthless here in America but overseas...it's worse. I like Alexis. I've never met anyone like her. And I know Taehyung has never met someone like you. We haven't been allowed to. So this is no game. If anyone found out we were with you two, we could be ruined. Our families lives are at stake. Everything we do is tied to our names, our families names, and our country." Jungkook's eyes saw Alexis' eyes get watery.

His hand reached up for her cupping her jaw. "This is real."

Alexis leaned into his hand and the way she let go of herself made his stomach knot and his heart hammer behind his ribcage. Then suddenly she flicked his nose. "Stop Jk!"
