04: Worlds apart

Chaeyoung pov
I looked at her in shock when she started to laugh at me.

"Stop imagining stuff, Chaeng. You'd never have the balls to actually kiss the Park Jimin", she said after she had calmed down a bit.

I sighed and showed her the video on my phone. The video where you could clearly see that I pulled him closer to me, pressing my lips against his.

"Shit, not you too."

Lisa watched the video four, five times until I snatched my phone back out of her hands.

"Why would he film that?", she asked. I shrugged and took a pillow. I slowly put my arms around it and rested my head on top of it.

"This is just a small snippet of the full video. It mainly showed the two of us having fun and screaming the lyrics to a random song. Then I kissed him."

I sighed deeply and closed my eyes. I was so embarrassed.

"I don't remember what happened after that. I know that we went to the bar to get some drinks and all that but then- blackout."

He had sent me the video along with some pictures we took after he had asked for my number.

I wouldn't text him for the next few weeks. I couldn't. What was I supposed to say?

"Do you think we'll see them the next time in Aurora?", Lisa asked and laid down, looking at my room's ceiling.

"I don't know. I wish I would, but I just- don't know."

Aurora had opened twice a month. On every 3rd and 20th. Even though the party started at 9 pm or so, we all knew that shit would go crazy after 11 pm.

The bar provided alcoholic drinks and there were always security guards and uber drivers waiting outside. Drugs weren't allowed and the person that would be caught doing drugs or drugging others would risk getting banned in a lifetime.

Everyone that ever entered that club had to sign a contract, saying it's forbidden to talk about Aurora with someone who wasn't somehow part of the Korean entertainment industry.

"So did you two fuck?", I asked, gaining Lisa's attention.

"What?"

She was clearly shocked by my question but that didn't stop me. I was curious.

"You heard me the first time. Did you fuck?"

A small smile crept upon her face, making me smile as well.

"Hmm, what do you think?", she asked with a grin.

"Shit, so you did! Was he good though?"

She tried to hide her reddened face behind her face and laughed. "Why are you asking so much?"

"Because I'm curious. You've never stayed over at a boy's house!"

Once again she threw a pillow at me but I managed to catch it. "He was gentle, that's all I'm gonna say."

Her smile was bright and her eyes were sparkling. I've never seen her like that before and somehow it made me worry. I didn't want her to get hurt.

"But that will be the first and only time you go home with him, right?", I asked. My smile faded from my face slowly.

"Why?", she was still grinning like a crazy witch but when she realized that I was serious she stopped smiling.

"Y'know... hmm how do I say this? He is part of the most famous boyband into the whole world right now and with them rising to the top with every coming week, do you really think that he will still be interested in you in like three months? Damn it, Lisa, they might be invited to the Grammy's next year and us? We're still sitting here, a three-year-old group with only thirteen songs and no full album. It's only a matter of time until people forget about us."

"Wait, is this about me and him or are you just trying to compare our groups? C'mon, don't be like that. Just because they're taking over the world, it doesn't mean that he will forget about me."

Lisa wasn't exactly furious. Rather than that, it seemed like she didn't understand my point.

"No, no, it's not about our groups. It's just that he might get really busy from time to time while you're just sitting here with us, hoping to wake up with comeback news each morning. I don't want you to get hurt, okay?"

I tried to sound as calm and neutral as I could, but once again, Lisa didn't seem to understand.

"It was just a one-night-stand. It's not like I want to marry him, right? So there's no need for you to worry", she muttered, slightly pissed.

Neither of us said anything else so she just stood up and left with her coffee milk in her hand. As soon as she had closed the door behind her I sighed and closed my eyes.

I really hoped that it would just stay at being a one-night-stand. I knew that if there was be some kind of relationship between one of us and one of them and that if someone finds out about that, we'd be fucked.

And as soon as the media would find out, the four of us would be getting hate comments and death threats.

Blackpink would get bashed, making our company postpone our comeback even further.

A phone notification brought me out of my thoughts. I took a look at my phone to see who had texted me.

jimin: hey
jimin: why are u ignoring me??
jimin: did i do smth wrong?

I smiled slightly. I can't respond. I shouldn't.

Just like Lisa's one-night-stand, this should stay a one-time thing. I decided that it was best to stay away from him, no matter where our paths would cross.

It was for the better. It was the right thing to do.

Or was it?
