 I whipped my head in her direction. what? what would we have to do now?

Lisa POV

Jessi unnie turned and smirked at Jerkook and me. "Lisa, Jungkook, you know this show is going to expose the k-pop world and its toxic traits. There is nothing off-limits with this program."

"What does that have to do with us?" Jungkook voiced my thoughts.

"Well, you guys will have to dance together, and perform in front of all of us. You choose the dance and song, but it has to show your skills. Both of you are phenomenal dancers."

"But-"

Jessi unnie shushed me, "Lisa, babe, I'm not done. After your performance, it will be professionally recorded, depending on the vibe of your dance. And to top your 'reward'," she mock-quoted, "your video will be uploaded on Youtube, as the first teaser of this entire show." 

The entire auditorium was in shock. What Jessi had just said was new to the K-Pop world. I wasn't dumb; Jungkook and I were hugely popular idols. 

Looking into the crowd, I noticed some of my friends with stern faces. Irene unnie, in particular, glared at me, and threw a pointed look at Jessi. She wanted me to voice my concerns, which she obviously knew. Jisoo unnie and Mina held similarly concerned faces.

"Umm, Jessi unnie, a question?" 

"Yes, of course, Lisa?" she handed me a mic. 

"As much as Mr. International Fuckboy right here disgusts me, he's not my biggest problem. He's hugely popular, and dancing with him is a death trap. I'm not blind, I know we're shipped by many people. But I also know that Jerkook has many fangirls, many of whom would murder me and send death threats if I'm seen in the same frame as their "idol," much less touching him." 

I glared at the mentioned Jerkook. "And as a female, I know that this video would harm me and my career much more than Jeon Dumbkook. He would be unscathed while I wouldn't. We've seen it in various dating scandals. Jennie and Kai, Jihyo and Kang Daniel, IU and Jay Park. Why this video? Why?" 

I took a deep breath after my monologue and handed the microphone back to Jessi. A sound of clapping was heard, turned into large-scale applause by the entire female side of the audience. 

Jessi nodded in understanding. "First of all, Lisa, I totally agree. Second of all, don't blame the messenger, haha." 

"Oh no, unnie, it wasn't to you-

"And third of all," she interrupted me, "I was informed that your company, YG, along with HYBE and Mnet will be taking legal action against any and every hate comment coming your way. If that is any consolation. But mind you, that is still up on the air. You will be performing here in front of everyone regardless, but if your performance is, let's say, too explicit, then they won't upload it as a teaser." She winked.

I nodded in understanding. "Okay." 

"With that out of the way, another round of applause for your Hotness King and Queen!" My unnies and everyone else clapped, as I scooted away from Jungkook and bowed. 

"You can go now. You have a week to prepare. We look forward to your performance!" she teased. I walked off the stage and back to my seat. 

Afterward, the night had a fun segment in which Jessi would spin the wheel and choose a group. Then, the group had to, on command, perform a song requested by the opposite gender. For example, if a boy group was chosen, Jessi asked a girl group member (or soloist) to choose a song for the boy group, to which the boy group had to get into position and start. It was a fun segment filled with innocent requests (Beomgyu of TXT asked ITZY to perform ICY, his favorite song) as well as thirsty ones (a female idol screamed DOPE at BTS when they were chosen to perform, and well, they did. screams were very much heard from this side of the auditorium.)

The night went on with loads of fun and music. 

"I had a great time tonight, guys. Now, make sure your managers hand you your schedules, rather than classes, it'll be more variety show-esque. Have fun!"

We left our seats, bowing at other idols along our way. 

"Lisa!" I turned around at the call of my name. There he was, Junglecock.

"I'm sorry for acting in that crude way. I was being cocky and overconfident, and you put me in my place. I'm sorry." The guy looked... sincere? 

Well, we had a performance to prepare for. Better to be on decent terms, right?

I nodded. "I guess it's fine. Just... know your boundaries." 

He nodded. "Anyways... do you have time to meet sometime this weekend? You know the dance is due in a week."

Again, I nodded. "Yeah, sure. I'll check with my manager and text you a time that works for me, and you tell me if it works for you." 

"Yeah, that works."

"Thanks, Jungkook-ssi." We bowed to each other and parted ways. Wow, we actually had a professional conversation. 

Things were actually looking somewhat okay, but I should've known this sudden change was too good to be true.

Just as I turned back around to say goodbye to my friend Eunha, I noticed Jungkook reaching Taehyung and Jimin, high-fiving them and nodding vigorously. They didn't notice I was staring at them, but I got their message. When I was turning back around, I caught Jin oppa's eye. He subtly shook his head and looked away.

That was all an act, and the bet was still on.

A/N

Super sorry for the infrequent updates. Quite honestly, school is getting most of my attention, obviously. But I'm also stranded of ideas, so please leave directions (mature or innocent) to take this book. It can be as small as a certain scene or as large as a possible conflict. 

Thanks for reading this book again and staying. Please add this to your library so you'll know when I (infrequently) update. Thanks for reading!
