Jungkook reached the parking lot of Lisa's apartment building. He tried reaching his car keys from his pockets but he felt nothing.

He raised his brows before checking his bag. He almost emptied his bag but the car keys were nowhere to be found.

Maybe he left it at Lisa's place?

He chuckled at his stupidity before taking strides to go back to her place. It only took him a minute until he reached her doorsteps.

The door is slightly open. Did he leave it like that? He can't remember.

So he entered straight, but before he could take another step, he overhear the conversation probably from the living room.

"Back to the topic. So that's what happened. Lisa, we're here to ask you. Do you really love Jungkook?"

He heard Jisoo's husky voice asking in seriousness. Jungkook walks a little more to hear them properly.

Okay, he's eavesdropping. But he is so curious about Lisa's answers!

Seconds of silence as Jungkook waited for her answer.

"H-he...he makes me happy, unnie."

He let out a smile hearing Lisa. He mentally patted himself on his shoulders. He did a great job.

"Why did you accept her as your boyfriend then?"

Jungkook heard Jennie speak. Her question to Lisa also raised curiosity on him. Yeah, why did he accept him as her man?

Lisa became silent for a while. It took her a minute before he finally heard her speak.

"I love the attention he has been giving me. I love how he tried to change for me. I feel like he deserves my answer, so..."

What?

"Yes, he makes you happy and all. Now, answer my question with yes or no."

He continued listening to the conversation, but his smile is already gone.

"Do you really love Jungkook enough to take the risks?"

Silence.

Jungkook has always loved silence. But in the current situation, he started hating it. He started dreading it.

Why is Lisa not answering?

It's just a simple yes or no!

He waited for her answer, a little hint of hope creeps on his heart.

Silence can mean yes, right?

"You don't love him, Lisa-yah. You just love how he treats you. You just love how he is attentive towards you."

Jennie broke the ice, his mood also turns cold.

Why is he still there?

He should leave.

"What? N-no! I love him! He's perfect. He's the best boyfriend I could wish for."

What now?

"How can you say that he is the best boyfriend that you could wish for?"

She heard Jisoo's voice ask. He stayed at his place and continue to listen even though he knows what he is doing is wrong. His heart is getting heavy as time pass.

"He is handsome, he's rich, he's popular and talented. He's the perfect boyfriend I could have. What could I wish for?"

Hearing her words made him feel a pang on his chest. What? She's with him because of that?

What if he's ugly? He's poor? He's unknown and untalented?

Would he even stand a chance on her?

"You're blinded by his possession. By his characteristics. Lisa, are you hearing yourself?"

He heard Jennie's voice raised. He can feel the atmosphere in the living room tense.

The room stayed silent. He took that as a cue to leave.

Fuck, just days later and it's their 100th day. How could he celebrate it with her? Would they even celebrate it?

He leaves Lisa's place, forgetting his real intention which is to collect his car keys.

He'll just take a taxi.

He felt his phone vibrate. His Jimin Hyung texted him.

Where are you? You have a meeting!

He took larger strides out and hope on the waiting taxi. The ride went fast, he quickly paid the driver.

"What's the matter hyung?"

He asked Jimin who is drinking up his coffee. The others are also there since they have to practice and arrange their performance for their upcoming world tour.

"Managers and Joon hyung were now settling the matter. There are also people from YG. I think it's about your relationship with Lisa. Just head to the conference room, quick!"

He sighed before leaving him and heading to the conference room. Indeed, he saw Lisa's manager and unknown people inside.

After he bowed, one of the people from YG spoke.

"What's your relationship with our artist Lisa?"

He remained silent. Yeah, he wanted to ask himself that too.

What's his relationship with Lisa now?

"We're friends."

His leader, Namjoon looks at him in disbelief. He ignored it.

"Just as I said, our Jungkook is not affiliated or has any relationship with your artist. We hope that you'll not do any harmful actions that might lead bad for both parties. This was just a simple misunderstanding. And our artist will not do something reckless as involving to any scandals such as dating. He's too focused on his career to waste time doing nonsense."

Jungkook's manager spoke in finality. He didn't budge as he listened from them.

"We hope that this will end here. Delete the pictures and both teams were safe."

Namjoon spoke making him finally lookup. They were photographed? When?

Is that why her members were asking her questions?

"Okay, we understand. But we wished that all of the roots why we are here would stop too. The management also reprimand our artist involved. She was now being punished for her actions, especially since her name is hot due to her debut. We made some arrangements for her to learn her lesson. We hope you do the same for him. That's all."

What the fuck?

What punishment is this fat man talking about? What arrangement did they do?

He was about to take his phone out to call her but remembering what he heard a while ago, he halt.

His tongue is now poking the insides of his cheeks as he watched them sign some papers and shake their hands.

One of the YG people also extends his hand on him, asking him for a fucking shake hands.

His jaw tensed as he shook his filthy hands. After that, he furiously wiped his palms at his pants.

Then, what now? What will happen?
