Dating Scandal

31

Rose talked about spending time with her sister, making music, that she hopes to end up on her solo album, trying new dishes and having fun. She even met some boy, but it was just a fling, and nothing serious happened.
Jennie was showing pictures and telling crazy stories form Unites States, mentioning a lot of parties, new people she met and different boys she liked. But, Lisa knew it was just a cover up, unsucessfull try to forget Taehyung. However, she was a bit jealous on Jennie because she had so much fun abroad. At least she was free and peacefull.
Jisoo didn't do that much. She was at her family home, mostly lying in bed and playing games. Unlike others, she actually had some scedual related to modeling, so she wasn't free all the time.

-What about you, Lisa?- Rose asked question Lisa was scared about the most. Four of them were sitting in the living room and having date night after so long and it was heartwarming and nostalgic. When all of them were under the same roof, it truly felt like home. They cried and laughted and it was perfect, but Lisa had that burden in her heart. Now, she was in real relationship with Jungkook, and it was about the time to tell them, but for some reason, she couldn't...she was so afraid of their reaction.

-Hmm..I was in Thailand, traveled a little and you know...I got an apartment , spent time with Bambam and others, drank a lot, and waited for you guys to come back. As ususal..

-Was everything allright? You usually text me all day when we're apart and now you barely answered my messages. Like you were avoiding me.-Rose sounded worried.-Have you been mad at me?-was Lisa avoiding them? She deffinitelly was, because it was so hard to talk to them without mentioning Jungkook.

-What? Are you crazy? No, why would I be mad? I told you, I was just drinking a lot lately, being with people, going to parties...

-Hope you weren't self destructive much. I know you feel lonely when you're not with us, but too much of alcohol is not an option...you need to be in shape for our comeback...

-Hey, don't worry..I got everything under control. Besides, I wasn't loney...I went to Jisoos house.-Lisa smiled widely and look at Jisoo.

-Yeah, she invaded my personal space from time to time, but I survived.-Jisoo smiled back. Both of them knew very well that Lisa didn't acctually visit Jisoo that much, but Jisoo covered for her very professional.

-Yeah, Rose, I was perfectly fine without you.

-Don't lie, you couldn't wait to see me.-Rose hugged Lisa. Jennie joined amedietelly, and then Jisoo, so it turned into long and emotional group hug.

-I missed you all so much.-Jennie whispered and hugged them tighter.

As much as happy Lisa was because she's living with her friends again, she needed to admit that it made so difficult to maintain relationship with Jungkook.
She couldn't see him anytime, and couldn't reply non stop to his texts because they were arround. Also, she was talking to him on the phone only late at night when she assumed the rest were sleeping. And she got so used to being arround him all the time, so she missed him.

He had performance that day and Lisa was sitting on the floor in her room, watching it live on the phone, with earpods on. He was so hot and talented, so many people cheared for him, and loved him, but he was only hers.

"I feel so proud. You did amazing"

She texted him with smile on her face as soon as his performance was over.
He answered half an hour later.

"I wish you were here."

"I know. I wish it too, but we're aware that's not possible. We need to sattle with what we have."

"One day, I will be able to hold your hand in public and say proudly that you're my girlfriend..and I can't wait for that day to come."

Lisa blushed after reading that. Just thinking about that was making her happy and scared at the same time. Will it ever be possible? To make relationship public?

-Guys, let's just try again.-they were at the studio, again. Recording songs for the lomg awaited album.

-I'm glad you got your enthusiasm back.-Rose smiled-you weren't yourself in the past year.

-Hmm, maybe I got tired and distant, but this break affected good on me. Now, let's try this again. We can do better.

-Oh, forget it. I'm done for today.-Jennie rolled her eyes, and left the studio.

-Me too. Bed is waiting. Tomorrow is a new day.-Jisoo shrugged with innocent smile and followed Jennie.

-So, it makes two of us. We can do something fun.

-Mm, sorry Chae, but if we're not going to work, I'll go to see Bambam, haven't seen him in a while.-Lisa answered in hurry.

-Gosh, you're such a party breaker.

As soon as Jungkook opened the door, Lisa junped on him. She hugged him, and wrapped her legs arround his hips.

-I missed you so much.

-I missed you too, baby.-he gave her a kiss after she got off him.

-I had to ditch Rose in order to come here. I'm such a bad friend, I know..but I live with her, and I don't get to see you often nowdays.

-Is that what makes you conserned?

-A little.

-Oh, I thought you would be upset because of those things on the internet..

-What things?-Lisa has been in studio the whole day and she didn't even have time to check her phone.

-Well, those earrings that I bought.. people noticed we wore it, and now assume it's a couple item...so, theories and hate strted again, you know how it goes...

-Well, this time people are right.-Lisa smiled.-That doesn't upset me anymore...they were writing those things before we even knew each other, and they would be doing the same even if we're not in a relationship right now. Who would believe in it anyway? I'm more conserned about my friends. I haven't told anyone, and as time goes by it's getting even harder to do it.

-Tell them. You'd feel much better.

-I won't. Do you know that Jennie is madly in love with Taehyung? She was telling me about it and I've never mentioned her to you. Do you know how many times Rose asked who I'm texting, and if I have a boyfriend? I lied all along.

-Why

-Because of that stupid rumours. Because it would be scandalous if we date. It would affect the group so bad.

-Lisa, they love you. They care more about your happiness than group reputation.

-But it's not fair to them. You're the last person I should date. Maybe we should just stay lowkey...

-Babe, what I care about the most is to have you by my side...and whatever you decide, I'm here for you and I'll support you. -He pulled her closer and hugged her tight. Lisa put head on his shoulder, and in that moment she felt like everything will end up just right.
