As It Should Be [BAMLISA x Hit The Stage] ✔️

chap 13

Bambam's POV

When Bambam saw the picture he felt his chest tighten. Why of all times, why did Dispatch catch them like that? Sorn was there, too. He was there. He has always been there. But why can't anyone see that. He scoffed. She can't even see that so why'd he expect anything at all from others.

He knew that he was being unreasonable. But he can't help but feel jealous. He has liked her for how many years now, but no one knew but him. To everyone, they were childhood friends. Best friends. That was what they should be. He didn't know when he started to feel differently. Before she was just this annoying sister-like figure to him who can't stop herself from constantly nagging. Before they were just like cats and dogs who never ceases to lose things to fight about. They fought all the time, but just as quickly they made up just as best friends do. Because that was what they were, best friends, and that was what they should be. That was what he kept reminding himself every time he'd see her beautiful face with that bright smile of hers. Those were the words he repeated to himself every time her hands reach out to him and her scent and warmth would engulf him in every embrace. But why does it only take one picture for him to lose his resolve. It made him want to go into that image and pull her away from the guy she was giving away her bright smile to.

For years he tried so hard to keep what he felt a secret because he knew it wouldn't do both of them any good. But now...

He opened the article once again and scrolled down, unable to look at the picture far longer. But he was surprised by the comments underneath. What are they saying? How could they say that about Lisa? Just a while back they were shipping them and now they hated seeing them together? Yes, he saw those tweets and comments about Ten and Lisa. It was the reason why it hurt even more to see the picture, because it was like his nightmare was slowly turning into reality. But he knew his jealousy was not needed at the moment. He knew that Lisa would not be left unscathed after this mess.

Bam: lisa
How are you?
Everything will be fine.

He was starting to get worried but he felt that she might just be overwhelmed by all these. He started to contact their manager to tell the news about the Thai line simply going out for lunch. Sorn messaged him about it, too. By morning all agencies have released each of their statements. He hoped with this that the weight Lisa was carrying would feel lighter. He tried to contact her numerous times all throughout the week, but to no avail. He even reached out to Sorn but all she said was to give her time.

The day of the shoot for the 2nd episode came. He wanted to talk to her but it was as if he was air. She just passed by him and acted normally with the rest. He knows there's still something wrong with her. He knew her like the back of his hand, yet he was still hurt by that ignorance.

After he finished his routine, he sought for her eyes but she was far too distracted to notice him. She was in a daze and in an even worse mood. He saw that behind the forced smile plastered on her face.

Before she went home, he tried once again to talk to Lisa. He didn't want her to leave feeling a little better. If only she'd give him a chance to make her smile. "Lisa, wait."

She looked back "Bam, pl-" She stopped and her shoulders dropped. So did her facade. She seemed so tired. He just wanted to make her feel better. He was desperate to do so because he hated seeing that look on her face. "Let's talk, Lice..."

He thought she'd give in. Her face softened but just as quickly she tucked that vulnerability away and a little more coldly she said, "sorry" and walked away.

He tried to understand her. To give her time. It's been almost a week, yet he can't even get more than a word out of her. The night after, just after a meeting on the concept for the next theme, he decided to go to her. All throughout his travel towards her dorm, he has been sending messages and calling her, but he still didn't get a reply even until he has been waiting outside her dorm for a little over 30 minutes.
