Jungkook shook his head as he opened his conversation with Taehyung. Taehyung wasn't lying when he said that he was going to send him pictures and videos of Lisa every day.

Jungkook found it rather annoying. He can't block Taehyung, it'd only make him upset. He actually tried to convince him to avoid doing it before he even started, but Taehyung seemed firm. He wanted Jungkook to like everyone in BLACKPINK.

The first picture Taehyung ever sent him was when Lisa was wearing this blue shirt. She looked adorable there. Only there, he thought. Her doe eyes, her plump lips, her pale skin. He actually adored her there. Only there.

Jungkook didn't react or anything considering that Taehyung was just across the room, looking ay him cheekily. "Isn't she cute, Kookie?" Taehyung wiggled his eyebrows.

Taehyung stared at the picture he sent Jungkook and began to smile. "She really is cute. I can't wait to meet them next week!"

Jungkook looked at his hyung, a bit uninterested. But still, he needed to talk to him or else Taehyung would throw a fit and immediately report him to the hyung line. Of course it just goes down to his dislike towards BLACKPINK's Lisa and he'd get scolded once again.

That Lisa just makes my life harder.

"Hyung, we won't meet them next week. We're going to attend the same award show. That's it. It's not like we're going to interact with them or anything—“

"Aren't you such a negative jerk? I really don't get why you don't like Lisa—“

"Can't you let me be?" Jungkook groaned. "I mean, I like Rosé. At least I don't like that Lisa of yours." Jungkook tried to explain.

Taehyung rolled his eyes. Sure he has a big crush on Lisa, but he had this gut that's telling him that something's wrong. Something is definitely wrong.

Once Taehyung was going to protest, the door swung open, revealing Namjoon. "Ah, there you are. Yoongi hyung's been looking for you."

Taehyung lazily stood up and glanced at Jungkook before he left. And now, Jungkook was all alone in their dressing room. Yeah, they were going to rehearse for their performance next week at a specific award show.

Since they were going to rehearse in thirty minutes or so, the rest decided to entertain themselves and explore the building. Jungkook on the other hand felt rather lazy to even stand up.

He wasn't usually like that, to be honest. He, too, noticed his sudden change these past few days. He just couldn't lay a finger on why or how, though.

Since he did feel a bit bored, he decided to chat in their '97 line group chat.

"How dare you mute our group chat!" Bambam immediately scolded him.

Jungkook was going to chat them in their GC when Bambam immediately set a group video call, which he accepted right away. Jungkook began to chuckle. "How did you know?"

Bambam rolled his eyes. "You told Namjoon hyung, Namjoon hyung told Jackson hyung, Jackson hyung told me!"

Jungkook pursed his lips, acting all innocent all of the sudden. "Well, y'all were so noisy and kept on chatting and calling each other." He tried to reason.

"That's what group chats are for, you dummy."

They both halted a bit once they saw that someone entered their video call. It was no other than Mingyu. "How are all my peeps—oh what the f**k? Jungkook? You're still alive?"

Bambam quickly nodded. "I know right? It's been years!"

"Bummer, I already prepared my suit for your funeral, Jeon—“ Mingyu joked.

"Yeah, yeah. Stop exaggerating. It's only been four days since I last chatted, what the hell are you guys even saying?" Jungkook rolled his eyes.

Jungkook and Mingyu noticed someone sitting beside Bambam. "Oh, another video call? Wait lemme—the f**k?" Yugyeom then snatched Bambam's phone from him and took a closer look. "I think I'm seeing things. I thought I actually saw Jungkook video calling with us, isn't that kinda—?”

"Yah! Snap out of it already!" Jungkook laughed.

Yugyeom jokingly covered his mouth, gasping. "Woah, how the hell are you, man? It's been years!"

Bambam and Mingyu laughed at Yugyeom, while Jungkook simply pouted at them. "Tsk, fine. I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Now can you please update me on your latest conversations?"

"Still about that member from BLACKPINK. You know, that blonde girl with bangs?" Mingyu told him.

Right. Now, Jungkook remembers why he stopped chatting in the first place. Even before BLACKPINK's debut, that was all they ever talk about. Bambam was bragging on how he was childhood friends with her, Mingyu and Yugyeom were practical drooling over her, and it made him sick.

He actually found her quite pretty at first. Once YG released their teaser pics, Lisa's picture was the one that caught his eye. He immediately sent it to their group chat, unaware that Bambam knew her ahead of him. Basically speaking, he was the one who introduced Lisa to the group chat, and now they talk nonstop about her.

It made him pissed out somehow.

He actually regrets actually taking an interest in her. Now, he plainly dislikes her. "That Lisa girl?" Jungkook scoffed. "Seriously, do you chumps have nothing else to talk about?"

"I am so calling dibs on her!" Mingyu wiggled his brows. Jungkook didn't really care, but he laughed at how Bambam started glaring at him.

"Piss off, dude. Don't you dare flirt with her." Bambam told Mingyu.

Mingyu seemed shocked. "Huh? Do you like her? Sorry, dude. I won't try to get her number anymore, don't—“

"Dummy, I don't like Lalice. I just know your antics. She's a good girl, man. No. I wouldn't let any of you date her! Never! I know you all!" Bambam said.

Mingyu started to whine. "Dammit, but she's so cute."

Bambam shook his head. "No. Gyeom even asked permission from me to take her number, I declined as well. And you, Jeon Jungkook—“

"Leave me out of that, I have nothing to do with her." He immediately told him.

The boys gasped. It was unbelievable. "Woah, you don't like Lisa?" Yugyeom asked him. Jungkook quickly shook his head, calmly declining. "Not even attracted to her? Just a bit? I mean, you were the one who introduced her to us."

Jungkook once again shook his head. "Nah. I have my eyes set for Rosé. She's beautiful, she dances really well, and her voice is amazing."

Jungkook quickly noticed how Bambam's expression changed. He seemed glum all of the sudden. But before he could even ask, Mingyu then rejoiced.

"Yah! Kunpimook! You heard that! So please, can I have Lisa's number? Or I'll go ask her myself. Just give me a go signal already!" Mingyu was close to pleading. He nervously laughed after that. He actually tried to joke in order to lighten up the mood.

Bambam forced a smile. He shook his head and just let out a peal of awkward laughter. "Ah, wait, I think our manager's calling me." Bambam excused himself and left his phone with Yugyeom.

Jungkook's eyebrows started to crease. "What's up with him?" he immediately asked.

"While you were away, he was blabbering on how you were perfect for Lisa. He kept on telling us that you were the only one he'd ever allow." Yugyeom explained.

Jungkook scoffed, shaking his head in disbelief. "Him too? Guys, I don't like Lisa. I'd never like that blondie."

"So, your bias is Rosé, huh? Aw, Kook. You didn't tell us right away!" Mingyu started to tease, and Yugyeom followed.

Jungkook laughed at the two and smiled as they teased him with Rosé. That's what he wants. That's totally what he wanted, anyway. Rosé. She's his bias. Not Lisa.

p e r s o n .

Lisa peeked a bit, hiding behind the door as she spotted her target. Surely she would succeed this time, right? She made baby steps towards her and made sure that she wouldn't create a sound.

Target locked.

Once she finally got near her unnie, she decided to. "WAH!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Jennie squealed. Lisa couldn't help but laugh all throughout her reaction. It was very easy to scare Jennie, and it really did entertain Lisa. Jennie held onto her chest as she looked at Lisa who was already rolling on the floor, laughing. "Lisa! You could've given me a heart attack!"

"Someone call the doctor, then," Lisa wiggled her eyebrows, teasing her unnie. She was well-aware of the little crush Jennie had in EXO.

Jennie rolled her eyes, trying to calm herself down. Just a few seconds later, Jisoo and Chaeyoung came in the dressing room. "Okay, what the hell is happening here?" Chaeyoung immediately asked.

The two girls saw how Jennie was practically having a heart attack and how Lisa was rolling on the floor. The two already knew what was up. "Oh," Jisoo said, sitting beside Jennie.

Chaeyoung began to tackle Lisa. "Yah, what did you do to my wifey?"

Lisa then glanced at her, smirking. "Oh? Are you sure you want to fight with me?" she threatened. Though Chaeyoung admits that she was somewhat scared of her, she still tried to hug Lisa real tight so she wouldn't even dare to fight with her.

"Okay, suit yourself." Lisa grinned. She began to escape from Chaeyoung's embrace and started to tickle her nonstop. Chaeyoung kept on laughing, begging Lisa to stop. "You want more? You want more?"

"No—HAHAHAHA! S-stop it alre-HAHAHAHA!" Chaeyoung just laughed and laughed.

The door swung upon, revealing their manager who was a bit weirded out by what they were all doing. Well, it was a normal day for her anyway. "Alright, girls. After BTS, you will be rehearsing next."

The girls smiled at their manager. "Yes, manager-nim," they all answered.

With that, their manager left, leaving the girls. "Woah, BTS?" Jisoo smiled. "Let's watch them, Lisa! C'mon!"

Jisoo and Lisa were huge fans of BTS. Since they were trainees, they never failed to stream their MVs, vote for them in shows, and such. Lisa grinned, immediately getting up and stopped tickling Chaeyoung.

Chaeyoung calmly sat up and tried to catch her breath. "Can I come with you? I wanna watch them, too."

Soon enough, they all decided to watch BTS. They went outside, just when BTS was starting to rehearse. The music started playing, and they starting dancing and singing. Jisoo and Lisa tried their best to refrain from fangirling.

Lisa couldn't take her eyes off of her bias — Jeon Jungkook. She's been eyeing him throughout the entire performance. It was finally Jungkook's turn to sing. And as he did so, he couldn't help but notice that BLACKPINK was watching.

"Lisa-yah, is Jungkook sunbaenim looking at you?" Chaeyoung asked.

Lisa's eyes widened at that very moment, quickly darting her eyes towards Jungkook. He was. Lisa began to get flustered, quickly looking away.

"Yah, Yoongi sunbaenim, mind looking at me too?" Jisoo began to grumble. The girls couldn't help but laugh at Jisoo's humour. Yes, her bias is none other than Min Yoongi.

. . .

BTS' rehearsal was finally done, and BLACKPINK was up next. Since they were the ones that were going to go upstage, they couldn't help but cross paths with BTS. BLACKPINK bowed at BTS, and vice versa.

"Woah," Hoseok began to smile, looking at the girls thoroughly. "BLACKPINK in your area!" he began to sing.

Jin and Taehyung began following after Hoseok, and they ended up singing Boombayah. Namjoon began to face-palm. "Gosh, this is embarrassing. I'm sorry, girls. They're just really big fans of yours."

Lisa couldn't help but laugh as Jin, Taehyung, and Hoseok kept on fanboying at the side. Jungkook couldn't keep his eyes off of her as well. The moment Lisa glanced at him, was the moment Jungkook glanced at Chaeyoung.

"Oh, you're Rosé, right?" Jungkook smiled at the mentioned female.

BTS was in the middle of shock. Jungkook was actually trying to engage in a conversation first, what about that?

"Yes, sunbaenim." Chaeyoung formally answered.

"You're very talented. I like you, Rosé-ssi. You're a good performer." Jungkook told her.

Chaeyoung swore that she was ready to shoot Jungkook in the head at that very moment. She was so sure that Lisa's heart was already breaking beside her. Chaeyoung gave a peal of nervous laughter. "Oh, thank you very much."

"I'm sure he meant you're all very and equally talented," Yoongi quickly cut in, smiling at the girls.

Awkward.

"Ah, Lisa-ssi, I want to tell you that you're my bias in BLACKPINK," Taehyung smiled at her.

"Mine too!" Hoseok quickly rose his hand.

Lisa swore that she was blushing at that very moment. She covered her mouth and smiled at them. "A-ah, thank you. I will work harder!"

Taehyung felt the urge to pinch her cheeks, but he refrained himself. "Wow, you're truly a bright maknae, huh? You're really cute. And of course, everyone in BLACKPINK. I am a big fan of yours."

BLACKPINK thanked Taehyung, along with the others that said they were fans. "We better go ahead then, girls. We'll watch your rehearsal," Yoongi told them.

"BLACKPINK! You're the best!" Taehyung cheered. "Lisa-ssi, fighting!"

Once the boys finally walked away, Jisoo couldn't help but jump up and down. "Did you see that? He smiled at me! I swear! He did!" she began to fangirl.

Lisa faintly laughed. She was truly happy for her unnie, that was for sure. But she pitied herself for feeling that way because of Jungkook. She was a bit disappointed in herself, she felt like she wasn't enough to be acknowledged by the Jeon Jungkook.

Argh! I wish I was a singer instead. Lisa began to think. Still, Jungkook wasn't the reason why she became an idol in the first place. At least she knows that Taehyung and Hoseok acknowledged her talent.

Well, he's just her bias anyway. Nothing much, right? Still, why can't you acknowledge me, Jeon?

. . .

Lisa was in her room, video calling with Bambam once again. They were arguing about what Bambam should name his new cat. "How about Leo?" Bambam suggested.

Lisa began to glare at him. "Hey! I already have a cat named Leo, remember?"

Bambam began to pout remembering that. He sighed in frustration. "Tsk. How about you? It's not like you can provide a proper name for my cat."

"What about . . . fartie?" Lisa innocently suggested.

Bambam cringed in a second. "Lisa! What the hell was that?" he started to groan. "I'll ask the members myself. Anyway, how're the rehearsals?"

"I was actually expecting you to be there. Didn't know that GOT7 will attend the second day of the rehearsals. You better attend! We'll be attending too!"

Bambam chuckled, nodding his head. "Yes, babe. We just had a meeting with JYP, so we didn't get to attend. It was urgent. So, you met BTS?"

"You really got my hopes up there," Lisa forced a smile. "I really thought that Jungkook sunbae would acknowledge me. Turns out, his bias is Chaeng. I'm not mad at Chaeyoung, believe me. I just thought . . ."

"Yah . . . he's just a dummy, okay? He doesn't realise that you are very talented yet. So stop sulking for your bias not noticing you that much, geez." Bambam shook his head, eating some yogurt he had.

Lisa giggled a bit, seeing how Bambam was messily eating. "What would you do without me? Clean yourself up!" Lisa ordered him, which he quickly obeyed. He grabbed a tissue and wiped the excess yogurt on the corner of his lips. "I think he doesn't like me, though. You have a group chat with him, right? Did he mention me even once?"

Bambam smiled at her. "No," he lied. "Just . . . don't please him. Don't change yourself because of him. Don't work hard because of him. Do everything because of you, got that?"

"Yah . . . why are you suddenly like this?"

"What? Don't I have the right to?" Bambam chuckled. "For now, I want you to love the songs. Not the singers. Got that, babe?"

"Songs not the singers? What are you talking about?" Lisa's forehead creased.

Bambam feigned another smile. "Let's just say that I feel like you would be disappointed if you love the singers. Just don't, Lisa."

"He doesn't like me, does he?" Bambam just stayed quiet. Lisa feigned a smile and nodded. "Tsk! It's alright, though. He's just my bias, no need to be worried about me."

"Ya sure, Liz?"

"Sure!"
