signed fate

< 9 >

Remember when Lisa declared to talk to Jungkook as soon as the timing felt right? For the first time she actually planned to talk to him, but then again there was her bad luck that seemed to get famous day by day.

Blackpink was in the middle of a photoshooting, but when Jisoo and Lisa finished, her eonnie had bad news coming ahead. At least they were bad news to Lisa.

"Bangtan is going to celebrate Chaeng's birthday with us", this sentence alone sent Lisa to another world. Her beloved world of panic and anxiety, which guested her quite a lot of times.

All Lisa wanted was more time, more time to prepare for meeting Jungkook. She wasn't sure how meeting him this early would affect her, but it surely would do.

On the other side, maybe Jungkook wasn't going to show up at all. He was really angry at her and she would understand, if he refused to be in the same room as her. Lisa should probably focus on a birthday present for Chaeyoung rather than thinking about that guy all the time, it wasn't worth anything.

"Since when are you this close with them?", Lisa asked her eonnie confused while watching Chaeyoung's individual shooting. Jennie was still getting her make up done, it would be right her turn after Chaeng finished.

"You don't listen to me at all, do you?", Jisoo sighed and faked a frown. Now that Lisa thought about it, she was absent most of the time. It wasn't her intention to do so, but there was just too much on her mind lately. From meeting Bobby to feeling guilty about the Jungkook incident.

She missed the time music was everything she had to deal with, nothing else.

"I already told you weeks ago, that I made friends with Taehyung-ah, since we met backstage one time", Jisoo told her and lightly hit the maknae's head. Served her right for not listening.

After thinking about it for a bit... it made sense, the friendship between Jisoo and Taehyung. Lisa already noticed his 4D behaviour on the year's end award shows Blackpink was invited to. Him and Jisoo seemed to be a lot alike. Knowing her Jisoo eonnie was a social butterfly, it surely wasn't hard for her to make friends with anyone. Even if it was a Bangtan member.

"Oh I see...", Lisa uttered deep in thoughts and bit her lips, imagining Jungkook's angered face in front of her. "But why invite the whole group? Wouldn't it be awkward?"

As outstanding as Jisoo's social skills were, there was no way she could handle all seven members. Adding the fact that beside Jisoo, the other three members were shy.

During the trainee days it was easier to make friends, now that they debuted it was all about the image and benefits of being friends with someone. As much as YG gave musical freedom, he was strict with relationships between his idols and other ones.

"Idiot, it would be rude to avoid inviting them all", this time Jisoo hit the maknae harder with the slight hope that Lisa's brain cells would function well this time. Lisa rubbed her head pouting and glared at her eonnie.

It wasn't like Lisa had anything against Bangtan, but just the thought of Jungkook coming with them scares her. Every time she started thinking about realistic scenarios with Jungkook, Lisa became more aware of not being ready to face him. However Jisoo seemed to have planned out everything already and changing her plan wasn't Lisa's right.
She just had to deal with the situation, whatever would come out at the end. If luck was on her side just this time, facing him wouldn't even be an option. She hoped for it. Deeply hoped for it.

"Is there anything wrong with inviting them?", Jisoo asked the blonde girl, which led Lisa to lightly flinching. The other members still didn't know about the things Lisa went through the past time and she wasn't going to tell them anyway. They had better things to take care of than these little problems, which were obviously hers to deal with.

"Nothing wrong with me", Lisa acted and shrugged. She had to do her best in hiding this mess, maybe someday Lisa would tell her eonnies, but surely not this time. "Is sajangnim okay with it?"

Jisoo raised one of her eyebrows.

Yeah, Lisa asked a question that had a pretty obvious answer. Their sajangnim wouldn't even allow them to meet the iKON and WINNER members, so celebrating Chaeyoung's birthday with a boygroup from a different company was totally No-Go. Thanks to Seungri, who supported friendships among labelmates, YG Family wasn't ultimately dead.

After the shooting was finished, the girls left for dinner and decided to eat meat. As everyone assumed, Chaeyoung nearly started crying out of happiness, because that's just how foodies feel. Regarding her birthday present, the girls finally came to an agreement. The present for her was ready and all three of them were proud of it. Lisa felt huge pressure lifted off her shoulders when they came to an agreement.

"Wow, today seems to be my birthday - Yoongi Oppa replied five minutes instead of five hours after I sent him a message", Jennie spoke as they were sitting in a restaurant waiting for their food. Another things Lisa completely forgot - Jennie already knew a Bangtan member. The invitation started to make more and more sense.

"I'm confused by your relationship with him, eonnie", Chaeyoung admitted while taking some pictures of Lisa. She actually had a lot of photos already saved, since there were days she didn't like to update new photos on Instagram.

"What's confusing about it?", Jennie asked dumbfounded and lowered her phone to look at Chaeyoung.

"Yes, what's confusing about obviously flirting with each other, but remaining friends?", Jisoo remarked sarcastically and sipped her soda that was already there.

Jennie rolled her eyes and started typing something on her phone - most likely a response to Yoongi.

"How are you guys not scared of getting caught being in contact with Bangtan?", Chaeyoung asked and continued taking photos of Lisa, who was just silently listening to the others. She wasn't really in the mood to join the conversation, in fact Bangtan was the last topic she wanted to discuss.

Jisoo and Jennie looked at each other and then at Chaeyoung.

"You don't have to be so anxious, Chaeng, there is no chance that we would get caught", Jennie assured her and nodded as she was satisfied with her own statement. "Besides, I don't understand what's so bad about wanting to live like any other human in this world"

Jisoo agreed with her.

"You two really are something", Chaeyoung responsed nervously laughing and gave Lisa her phone back to concentrate on the food, that was arriving.

Poor Chaeyoung, she didn't know that she was going to get involved with them as well soon. Hopefully the surprise party wouldn't disappoint her, because of that.

All Lisa could think of was the day of her birthday, the things that would happen.
Was he going to forgive her for the things she said to him? She wasn't anticipating his forgiveness, however she hoped for it. Although she still wasn't sure about his feelings for her, Lisa felt bad for saying those things to him.

Lisa felt her phone vibrate and immediately checked her message. It was BamBam.

Don't try to avoid talking to him, he doesn't deserve that.

Lisa sighed and was about to turn her phone off, when another message from BamBam popped up.

After all you should know his feeling the best, Pok Pak.

And there was it again, this dark hole full of sadness surrounding Lisa as she thought about what BamBam meant.

It was a reminder for Lisa, that feelings suck.
