Cannes Aftermath

Pink Venom

After Jisoo and Lisa had worked out their "issues" and with the Hyde park concert done, the girls thought things would be smooth sailing for Blackpink.

They would be playing a concert in Paris, then finally have a longer stretch of time off together.

Rosie and Jennie had started making plans to go somewhere secluded, where the four of them would be able to be just enjoy their time alone together. Making some new memories.

As their vacation grew closer, Lisa started to spend more and more time away at events and less and less time at the apartment.

First the girls thought nothing of it, Lisa liked to keep busy, but when they learnt that she had come back early and went to her house without letting Rosie or any of them know, and had been there almost 2 days, they weren't happy.

On the morning of the third day, the girls decided to find out what was going on. They made their way to Lisa's house and were even more surprised when she greeted them and not only did not return Rosie's hug, she pushed her away. She was cold and standoffish.

Rosie pulled back and retreated to Jennie's arms while Jisoo confronted the mankae.

Despite Jisoo worrying that this might happen with one of them, she couldn't help but become mad at the way Lisa was trying to provoke them.

"What the hell Lisa? We have been looking forward to spending as much of our time off together as possible and you not only booked multiple events, you come back here instead of home without letting us know and now you are being mean to Chaeyoung. What is your problem?"

Lisa snapped back and moved closer to Jisoo, "Home? My problem?" She tried using her height to intimidate the older girl, but Jisoo didn't back down.

Jisoo pushed her finger into Lisa's chest and shoved her out of her personal space. Personal space that usually did not exist between the members.

"Yes YOUR problem. Why are you treating people you say you love like shit? Chae missed you and is excited to see you, but you push her away?"

Lisa scoffed, "Missed me!" She laughed. "I'm sure she has been more than comfortable in your bed since I've been gone."

Yep that was it!

"Are you jealous?" Jisoo asked. She was confused by Lisa's hostility and it was a genuine question.

Lisa took it as a challenge, a dig at the fact that she had won a prize over her. "Jealous please! I can have anyone I want and trust me this last week, I have."

Both Rosie and Jennie gasped. Rosie turned back into Jennie's shoulder and started uncontrollably crying.

Jisoo was stunned by the vemon Lisa was spewing. She didn't understand where it was suddenly coming from and she didn't like it. She advanced on Lisa this time.

"First, you are free to have sex with whom ever you want. Second, we talked about jealousy issues that might come up many many many times and you said you were fine with moving things forward between all of us. You were never left out of any conversations and were never made to feel like you were not a part, a huge part of everything"

"The girls have been planning a getaway for us for weeks and not once have you been part of or made any contribution to those plans. Not once did you ever mention wanting or not wanting to go through with them. Instead you have been hiding behind events and bullshit excuses to work yourself into a frenzy over something you think is happening that definitely is not."

She jabbed her finger hard into Lisa's chest. "I have asked you many times if you wished to stop, if any of it bothered you."

Lisa was too far gone to be reasoned with.

"Right and where and when were most of those vacation plans being made huh? Curled all up cosy in your bed? Why don't you just keep her."

A lesser person might have slapped Lisa right then and there, but Jisoo turned to walk away.
And because she knew that Jennie was that lesser person in that moment, she reached her arms out.

Jisoo caught Jennie by the waist and pulled her back. What she didn't anticipate however, was Rosie.

She didn't see it, but she heard the slap loud and clear, as well as both Jennie and Lisa's shocked gasps.

Rosie yelled, "Niga mwonde."

Lisa's hand flew up to cover the spot Rosie slapped.

"If that is the way you feel, then feel free to return the key to MY apartment. Next time you have a break in your, fucking schedule, of course." Rosie turned and swiftly exited the room.

In her shock, Jisoo let go of Jennie. Jennie froze for a moment, weighing her next move.
Without sparring Lisa a second glance, she ran after Rosie.

Too say you could hear a pin drop would be an understatement.

Jisoo levelled her voice, showing no emotion. "I think space might be a good idea right now."

She continued to look out the door the girls had left though and not at Lisa.

Lisa took a step to move forward but stopped when Jisoo put her hand up, "I knew you could be dense sometimes, but over Chaeyoung?
That girl loves you more than anyone in the world, definitely more than you deserve right now."

She finally turned to face Lisa.

"If you want to know the truth, yes, she has been in my bed the last few nights." A look of pure anger coming from Jisoo towards her stopped Lisa from commenting.

"She has been curled up with Jennie."

Lisa squinted her eyes as if she was getting validation for her horrible outburst.

"Crying. Crying over you because she has finally come to realize that you are the one for her but also realizing that you don't feel the same for her. And just now," Jisoo pointed to the door, "you just showed her that not only is she not the one, you don't actually give much of a fuck about her at all."

Lisa's brain finally caught up with what just happened. "I, that's not true, that's not what I..."

Jisoo cut her off, "You need to get your shit together because whether you decide you want to have a sexual relationship with all four of us or not, that will not change things between us as friends. But Chaeyoung, that girl is a keeper and if you don't find a way to fix this, soon, somebody will come along and you will lose the most important and precious thing you have ever been given in this lifetime."

She turned to leave but stopped, "I love you, we love you, but I don't much like you right now." Jisoo exited the house to find her girls.
