Jung-kook was sitting in the living room when his phone started buzzing with notifications. He still couldn't wrap his head over the fact that BamBam knew Lisa. No, it was worse, he was her best friend. Subtle feeling of jealousy ran through his chest.

Jimin who was sitting next to him on the couch, noticed Jung-kook's upset face: "Is everything okay, JK?"

"Did you know BamBam knows Lisa?"

"Lisa from Blackpink?"

"Yeah," he said annoyed.

Jimin smiled: "Are you jealous, kookie?"

"What? No! Pff, I don't even know her, why would I be jealous?" Jung-kook defended himself.

His member tilted his head: "Please, I've seen you watch their videos late at night. You were even watching the fancams of her. And how about that one time when I found your laptop opened with Lisa's Google searches still opened on your screen? Do you think I am stupid?"

JK's face started to turn red. How did Jimin notice all of that?

"Jung-kook, it's okay, just admit you have a big crush on her. Like huuuge, the stalker type of crush," Jimin teased him.

Jung-kook punched Jimin in his shoulder: "Stop that! I don't have a crush on her. I don't even like her. You think just because she looks like a doll that means everyone will fall for her like Taehyung did? I am not that naïve."

Jimin just laughed and shook his head: "Yeah, sure. Do you even hear yourself?"

If only his members knew that he actually met Lisa before. Before she became the royal maknae of the famous Blackpink. Before, when she was just a sad girl who met a sad boy in the park. He didn't want to tell his members about it just how he didn't want to tell them that he hated every second when Tae was blabbing about her cuteness and beauty. He didn't want to confess because he, himself, didn't want to admit how much he liked her.

He opened his phone and looked at the messages he missed.

97liners

Jaehyun: BamBam you have to invite her again

Mingyu: Yeah, definitely she was so funny!

DK: Please don't invite her again because Mingyu can't stop blabbing about her...it's annoying

BamBam: Can you stop simping over my bestfriend?!

Jaehyun: No

Mingyu: No

The8: I want to be her bestie too

Yugyeom: You guys are just bunch of teenagers

Jung-kook started to feel anger creeping all over him. He clutched his fists.

JK: ...

Mingyu: JK! YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHO HAVE WE MET

JK: who?

Jaehyun: My new best friend

The8: Shut up, Jae

Mingyu: we met LISA of Blackpink!!! Can you believe this asshole was hiding the truth all this time?

BamBam: 😏

JK: Great...

Jung-kook threw his phone on the table.

Stupid boys.

Blackpink performed their 'Playing With Fire' on a Music Show and right after they finished Lisa ran to the bathroom. She leaned towards the toilet thinking she would throw up, but after few minutes when nothing happened, she decided to go to the sink and freshen up a bit. She had been feeling sick since the day before, but thought it was probably nothing. Maybe she was just nervous due to busy schedule that was ahead of them. Or maybe, she was nervous because she knew that BTS would be at the today's show as well. However, she managed to successfully avoid them up until now.

She looked at herself in the mirror: "Breathe, Lisa. Now you just have to survive the joined stage when they announce the winners. You got this!"

After the successful pep-talk, she fixed her dress and, with her head down, stepped out of the bathroom. What she didn't expect was a man's body right in front of the door.

"Ouch!" she said as she hit the man's back.

She rubbed her shoulder when he turned: "Hey, watch your wa-"

The boy stopped talking when he noticed who was standing face to face with him. Lisa looked up, and her heart dropped to her heels.

"Jung-kook."

"Lisa."

Both were just standing there, looking at each other silently. She didn't want to speak first, and neither did he. Lisa's hands started shaking and Jung-kook noticed it.

He gently touched her wrist: "Are you okay?"

She looked him in the eyes. They were full of worry.

"Yeah, I am fine," she whispered.

"Are you sure?" he asked when his eyes landed on her lips.

At this point, Lisa's heart was about to escape her chest. She pulled her hand away from him and stepped back.

I can't do this.

She could see on his face that her move hurt him.

"I am sorry," he mumbled.

"It's fine, we both know you're kinda clumsy," she said sarcastically.

He raised his brows, and gave her a cold look: "Is that how you speak to your sunbaenim?"

"My apologies, glad to see that you faked it 'till you made it, sunbaenim. If you excuse me, I have to go find my unnies. Nice seeing you again, seems like you grew taller, then again, it might be just the funny shoes you're wearing. Bye, sunbaenim," she bowed and left Jung-kook standing in the middle of the hallway.

She felt bad for being so mean to him, but as their new song says: Love is like playing with fire.

Don't play with fire, Lisa.
