Namjoon's idea was for him to go out and ask anyone he finds hot out on a date, and Jungkook smacks him across the head. He can be flirty if he wants to, that he knows, but he's not going to hit on strangers and try to start something right away. Taehyung, listening in to their conversation, asks him to try blind dates, and Jungkook thinks that's a better idea.

Except that on his first blind date, he ends up sitting across a dinner table from a greasy old woman who looks no younger than forty, balding in certain spots on her head.

Taehyung only laughs when Jungkook tells him over a phone call, and he promptly hangs up. Taehyung calls back after a few minutes sounding a little breathy, and Jungkook scowls because it's not funny when he's the one who had to put up with the old woman trying to get into his pants with her old wrinkly hands.

"Why don't you try to go on dating sites? Everyone does that nowadays," Taehyung suggests. "The advantage is that you don't have to meet them if you don't want to."

Jungkook stays silent, and then hangs up.

Jungkook signs up for a popular dating site the moment the hangs up, filling up his profile with all the things about him he finds attractive and choosing a profile picture where he looks prettiest. He takes a few hours until he feels satisfied with his profile, staying online until early morning before he decides to go to bed.

He hasn't sent anyone messages yet, he'll need to be more awake and fresh for that in case he sends messages to anyone who's suspicious.

He doesn't even need to send messages out, it seems, because he wakes up to a few messages in his inbox. There's three, but all of them don't seem promising at all. The first is from the same old woman who went on the blind date with him, and Jungkook briefly wonders how she found him before he blocks him from contacting him any further.

The second is from someone younger than him, probably still in high school, but a quick look at her profile tells Jungkook that she's a delinquent, proudly boasting that she smokes and is an alcoholic. That's a definite no, even if the tattoos on her arms are kind of hot.

The third and last message is from someone who's in a different country, making Jungkook delete her message right away. He wants someone he can actually meet if he falls for them, not a long distance relationship.

Jungkook takes his time to browse the different profiles on the dating site, sending out a few messages of his own. It's actually kind of fun, looking for potential girlfriends even if it's kind of dangerous, but Jungkook feels that there won't be any harm if he doesn't reveal anything too personal or agree to meet before they get to know each other.

He resets the filter on his search, changing the distance to somewhere near him, and he gets a lot more profiles than he expects. He scrolls through, none of the pictures appealing to him, until his eyes land on someone too familiar.

This particular person has a profile picture with Lisa's face, and Jungkook's pissed. It's not right to use someone else's picture as your own, even if Lisa is mostly popular with young teenage girls.

Jungkook sends an angry message to the person, who only has 'Pri' as her name. Jungkook crosses out the possibility of the person being Lisa herself, because Lisa isn't stupid enough, and the profile details just doesn’t seem like Lisa at all.

hey, you shouldn't use someone else's pictures as your own. it's not right.

Jungkook doesn't expect a reply to come, but it does within a few minutes.

i'm sorry, i didn't expect anyone to recognise her here. i'm actually a new fanboy.

Jungkook softens at that, but quickly grows excited at the thought of meeting another fan. He's been surrounded by only girls and it's getting tiring. Maybe getting to know another male fan will help make fandom life easier.
