444 (BTS Hyung Line x OCs)

Nineteen: Tides of Tensions

The sun was high, casting a golden glow over the beach as the girls arrived, ready for a day of relaxation and fun. The soft crash of waves and the distant calls of seagulls filled the air, and for the first time in days, they felt a sense of calm. Today was about enjoying themselves, unwinding from the whirlwind of emotions, dates, and unexpected drama. It was just the four of them—Justice, Julissa, Lola, and Morgan—and for now, it was perfect.

They had dressed for the occasion, each of them wearing bikinis that turned heads as they walked across the sand, drawing eyes with their confidence and effortless beauty.

Justice, in a sleek black two-piece, exuded mystery and allure. The high-waisted bottoms hugged her curves while the bandeau top accentuated her toned figure. She wore oversized sunglasses and a straw hat, her long hair cascading down her back.

Julissa had chosen a vibrant red bikini with playful strings tied at the sides. Her vibrant personality shone through in the bold choice, and she looked carefree and full of life. Her skin glowed under the sun, and she carried herself with an undeniable energy that attracted everyone's attention.

Lola wore a neon green bikini that shimmered under the light, bold and eye-catching. The top was a triangle style, showing off her figure, and the bottoms sat low on her hips. Despite the worries about her secret slipping the night of the party, she seemed more confident than ever, ready to enjoy the day.

Morgan, though, had taken extra care to hide her bruises. She wore a light blue one-piece swimsuit that had strategically placed cut-outs on the sides, enough to feel sexy while covering the darker patches on her skin. She wrapped a sheer white sarong around her waist to cover any marks on her legs and wore a wide-brimmed hat, casting shadows over her shoulders. She smiled as the breeze lifted her hair, feeling the sun on her face without the fear of being judged or questioned.

"Finally, some time to ourselves," Julissa said, laying out her towel on the sand.

"Yeah, no drama today, please," Justice added with a chuckle, adjusting her sunglasses as she lay back. "Just sun, sand, and girl time."

They were all about to settle into the relaxing rhythm of the beach when a group of girls strolled past, catching their eye.

There were four of them—each of them strikingly beautiful, and even more importantly, familiar. Not just familiar in the sense that they looked like people they had seen before, but in a way that made them stand out even more. They were none other than BLACKPINK—Rosé, Lisa, Jennie, and Jisoo, dressed in casual beachwear but with an aura that screamed "superstar."

Morgan's eyes widened slightly. "Are they...?"

"Yep," Julissa said, her voice barely above a whisper. "That's BLACKPINK."

Lola leaned back on her towel, lifting her sunglasses just enough to look them over. "Huh. You think they're just here on vacation too?"

"Maybe," Justice replied, her voice quiet. "But why do I feel like things just got... complicated?"

The girls kept to themselves for the next few minutes, trying to act normal, even though there was an unspoken tension among them. BLACKPINK, of all people? That kind of coincidence couldn't just be chalked up to fate.

"Should we go say hi?" Julissa asked, biting her lip. "I mean, they're huge, right? It's not every day we run into someone like them."

Lola shrugged, her voice more aloof than usual. "I don't see why not."

But as they started to gather the courage to approach, the BLACKPINK girls suddenly turned in their direction, noticing them as well. It was Rosé who led the way, her eyes narrowing slightly as if recognizing something more than just their faces. There was something calculating in her gaze, something almost... knowing.

Jennie's eyes followed hers, scanning the group with the same quiet intensity, while Jisoo and Lisa exchanged glances before walking over with the others.

"Hey," Rosé greeted, her smile friendly but with a slight edge, her eyes flickering over Morgan, then the rest of the group. "You guys seem familiar."

Morgan, her instincts kicking in, smiled politely. "Yeah, we've seen you around, of course. Huge fans of your work."

Rosé's smile tightened, but she kept it light. "Thanks. Nice to meet you."

The tension in the air shifted—subtle, but present. The BLACKPINK girls knew something. Maybe they didn't know everything about the BTS Hyung line, but there was an unmistakable awareness in the way they held themselves, especially when they saw how close the girls were to the boys.

Lisa gave a small, amused smirk. "You all vacationing here?"

Lola nodded. "Yeah. Came to get away for a while. It's been... eventful."

Jennie raised an eyebrow at that, the corners of her lips lifting slightly. "Eventful how?"

Julissa opened her mouth to speak, but something stopped her. The energy around BLACKPINK wasn't just casual curiosity; it felt almost territorial. It was then that Justice noticed the way Jisoo's gaze briefly flicked toward her before returning to the rest of the group, as if assessing them.

"You're here with the boys, right?" Jisoo finally said, breaking the silence.

"Boys?" Morgan asked, trying to keep her voice even.

Jisoo smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes. "Namjoon, Yoongi, Seokjin, Hoseok... right? The BTS boys."

The girls froze, their hearts collectively skipping a beat. How did they know?

Rosé noticed their reactions and took a step closer, her voice softer now but still with an underlying sharpness. "We saw you guys at the fair. We used to... hang out with them. You know, before things got complicated."

Justice shifted uncomfortably, suddenly feeling as though they were under a microscope. The implication behind Rosé's words wasn't lost on them. These weren't just casual encounters they were talking about.

The BTS Hyung line had dated them.

The air felt thicker, and the unspoken tension between the girls and BLACKPINK was now obvious, palpable. These weren't just ex-girlfriends. They were ex-girlfriends with unfinished business, and now the girls found themselves in the middle of something they didn't quite understand.

Jennie tilted her head, her eyes flicking toward Julissa. "So, how's Seokjin?"

Julissa's breath caught. "He's... good." She hated how defensive she sounded, but the sudden possessiveness in Jennie's tone threw her off balance.

Lisa laughed softly, but there was no humor in it. "Well, you all seemed pretty cozy when we saw you, we would have introduced ourselves then, but you know we didn't want to interrupt your fun. Just... be careful, okay? They can be a little hard to handle."

Morgan, sensing the rising animosity, tried to keep her cool. "We'll keep that in mind."

But the tension was now undeniable, and even though the conversation remained civil, it was clear that the underlying competition had begun. The girls had stepped into something much bigger than they had anticipated.

As BLACKPINK finally walked away, their presence left a lingering sense of unease. Each of the girls sat in stunned silence, unsure of how to process what had just happened. The beach, once a place of relaxation, now felt like a battleground.

"Ex-girlfriends," Lola finally muttered, shaking her head. "Of course they are."

"They didn't seem too happy about us," Julissa added quietly.

"No kidding," Justice said, leaning back into the sand, her mind racing. "This just got way more complicated."

Morgan, who had remained silent throughout most of the encounter, bit her lip. The bruises on her skin suddenly felt like a reminder of just how much more complicated everything was getting. She had been trying to stay hidden, trying to cover her past, and now it felt like everything was starting to unravel.

As they sat there in the heavy silence, one thing became clear: the tension between them and BLACKPINK wasn't just going to disappear. And with each passing moment, the stakes grew higher.
