 The Fate

Hey there my darling demigods. The Fate here for your daily dose of the hottest news and scandals from Olympus High's elite circle.

It hasn't been a week since Lisa came back but our beloved it-girl just stirred up the campus yet again. Multiple tips came in that she's been seen hanging with Metal-face Jisoo and Hoseok the Fake almost every day. Hanging out with the outcasts, L? You can do better than that.

But they do say charity work pays off.

"I'd ignore that if I were you," Lisa said as she sat next to Jisoo who was currently reading the latest The Fate update. "She's just excited 'coz her site's gaining followers again. We all know that the site posting about me breathing gains more readers than Jennie's day with Kai."

Jisoo chuckled at her attempt to be snarky. It's been a few days since they went to Yoongi and things started to get better. She now understood why Yoongi left without saying anything and forgave him for not calling. But what surprised her was being able to get along with the person she least expected.

Hoseok was right. She's good kid. She is cynical--not that she thinks of it as a good trait, too and a lot more savage. But what made her like the 'Queen of Olympus High' was the fact that she gives great importance to family more than the blinding popularity the circle provides. 'Yoongi always comes first,' to quote her exact words.

"It's kinda hard to ignore when she calls me Metal-face," she replied. Lisa gave her the look. "What?"

"The only issue in that update was her calling Hobi fake," she retorted. "It's not entirely false she called you that. You are wearing a metal mask on your face since forever."

Jisoo just shook her head sideways as she smiled and turned her attention back at her phone.

"Ya! How dare you ignore my insult, Kim Jisoo!" Lisa fake scowled making her roll her eyes.

Again, Hoseok was right. They clicked almost instantly after hanging out with them that day. Other than the fact that they both love Yoongi dearly, they both share hatred on pretentious people.

"Surely you have other better things to do than beg for my attention, Lis," she said with a chuckle.

"Well, I do have to grab some things for Yoongi. Wanna come? I'm thinking of torturing you with some shopping," Lisa said with a playful look on her face. She played along and fake gasped.

"No! Shopping? Kill me instead!" She said in her most annoying acting ever eatning a hefty laugh from Lisa.

"I'll take that as a yes." The latter stood up and held out her hand. "I need to swing by Dr. Choi's office."

"Yeah, sure. But I'll just take a quick detour to the bathroom."

"Retouch?" It was sarcastic.

"Riiiight. Retouch." Jisoo laughed. "You're such a dork."

She left for the comfort room and agreed to just meet Lisa by the parking lot. But little did the two know was that one of Jennie's many minions just overheard their conversation.

"Dr. Choi? Isn't that the psychiatrist?" Sana confusedly muttered. "Hmm... I'll just ask Jennie. She might know."

"Thanks doc!" Lisa said enthusiastically as she got out of Dr. Choi Seunghyun's office. "I'm positive Yoongi will be thrilled to know about this."

"Just tell him to continue his therapy and he'll be better than ever," he said as he escorted the girls. "Same time next week, okay? But this time, make sure he comes with you."

The girls laughed. "Of course, doc. He's just a little preoccupied today so we showed up instead."

"Right," he said but they were sure as fvck he did not believe a word. "Take care on your way home girls."

Lisa and Jisoo bowed as they left. The two were enjoying a nice conversation on their way down the stairs when a familiar smirk came in full view.

"Well, well. Look who we have here."

Jisoo's eyes widened but Lisa just rolled her eyes.

"Jennie. What an unpleasant surprise."

"The great Min Lalisa," she said as she walked around the two girls with her minions Sana and Dahyun standing in front of Lisa and Jisoo. "A patient of Dr. Choi Seunghyun in a drug rehab facility? This is news! I wonder how The Fate would react to this."

Jisoo was about to say something but Lisa stopped her. "Be my guest, J. Do you want me to sent the tip in myself or one of my minions? I don't give a single fvck."

She crossed her arms over her chest as she moved forward closer to Jennie. She clicked her tongue.

"But hear this, Jennie Kim." She looked straight at her making Jennie step back a little. She looked more intimidating thanks to her model-esque height. "I don't do things lightly. Send that tip to The Fate and I will feed you to Cerberus and throw whatever remains of your puny body to Tartarus. If there will be. Capisce?"

Jennie blinked as Lisa became full on devil incarnate on her. When she blinked, Lisa smirked and leaned back.

"Wanna meet my dog?" She said innocently. Jennie immediately looked away.

"We're done here," she said before storming out with her minions at tow.

"You do know she'll still find a way to get back at you, Lis," Jisoo uttered in full concern.

"I can take her, Chichu," Lisa assured her unafraid of whatever the school Drama Queen is plotting. "Let's just go back to Yoongi. I'm sure he's waiting for his lamb."

"I never had a barbeque party with friends before."

"Really? Me too!"

"This is going to be fun but Hoseok's probably burning down your house. We should get going." Jisoo clung on to Lisa's arm as they walked towards her cab. "I really don't understand why you left him in charge of the grill."

"Yoongi's with him. How bad could it be?"

"What the hell is wrong with you, Jimin?!" Rosé's voice snapped Jimin out of his trance. "You've been like this for days. Is there something wrong?"

"Huh? Uh no. It's nothing." He looked away.

Lisa's been ignoring his texts. She haven't blocked him in his SNS but she doesn't even open them either. Even of he uses Taehyung's account, he still couldn't get through. Does she really not care anymore?

"It's still about her, huh?" Rosé said that made Jimin look at her. "You're still not over her. I knew it."

"It's not like that Ro—"

"She's right. I'm the girl who always get seconds," she said as she stood up. "In school, with boys, with everything. I'm always second choice. I'm always the person who's on the waiting list. And looking at you roght now is a living proof that I will never be as good as her or even reach her level. Excellent."

"You know that's not true, Ro!"

"Then why did you suddenly change when she got back, huh?" She countered. "You've been distant! You're always on your phone checking for updates. And don't you fvcking dare deny that you haven't sent her a dozen emails or texts!"

"It's because I want to tell her!" He blurted out. "My conscience is eating me alive, Ro. I want to tell her the truth! I can't take this anymore!"

"And do you think by telling her she'd forgive you?" Rosé scoffed. "For a straight-A student you're one big dumbass, Park Jimin."

"I don't care!" Jimin yelled back. "We fvcking cheated on her, Ro! While she and I were still together! Are you that thick-skinned? She's your best friend for Pete's sake!"

He stood up, ready to leave, when she followed and held on to his arm like it was her lifeline.

The image of the same discussion they had a year ago suddenly resurfaced in his mind.

"You can't, Jimin! You know her. You know she won't let us live after what we did!"

"Guilt is eating me up, Ro!" He admitted. "Plus she's gonna find out when your belly gets bigger eventually!"

"No one knows but us, Jimin," she said calmly this time. "And the schedule for the abortion is almost—"

"We talked about this Ro and we're not getting rid of the baby!"

"But I can't—my dad... my dad will kill me!"

"So you're gonna kill our child?!" He blurted out. "Are you hearing yourself now, Roséanne Park?!"

"Jimin, I'm 16! How the heck do you expect me to be a mother if I'm barely an adult myself!" She yelled frustratingly. "It was just one night. One fvcking night. If you hadn't... ugh! Why did we have too much champagne?! I shouldn't have let you talk me into drinking that awful thing! If not for that, wouldn't have ended up having s*x. I wouldn't be knocked up at seventeen!"

"I'm 17, Ro. I'm as much of a kid as you are!"

"You don't care that much 'coz you're not the one whose future is about to be taken away by one stupid mistake!"

Rosé crouched down and started to cry. Jimin sighed as he followed her and tried to calm her down.

"And my best friend is going to be fvcking mad at me because she'll think I stole her precious boyfriend from her!"

She bawled even louder.

"She's the only person I trust enough to talk to about this but I can't even do that 'coz the person who knocked me up is her boyfriend!"

She started to punch Jimin's chest.

"This is all your fault! It's you fvcking fault!"

Her cries made Jimin feel guiltier than ever but for a different reason. He knows he has a moral obligation to keep the baby. He wants to. But like what Rosé said, he's also taking her future away from her. Because he's jerk who can't keep his thing inside his pants.

"Shhh..." He said as he gently brushed her back to calm her down. "It's okay. It's okay. We'll think of something. We'll get through this. I promise..."

...

"Suit yourself, Jimin," she said calmly. A complete opposite to her first reaction way back a year ago. "But we both know she won't let us live through this once she finds out."

"It's better that she finds out anout this from us rather than from someone else—"

Their phones chimed almost at the same time.

"I guess it's too late for that now."

"I told you not to, Lisa. I told you not to." Jisoo muttered as she and Lisa watch as the griller catch on fire while Yoongi frantically trying to operate the fire extinguisher and Hoseok screaming his lungs out.

"How should I know that dumb and dumber can't operate a simple griller?"

She gave Lisa a 'duh' look.

"You said it yourself," she said whilst pointing at the two. "Dumb and Dumber. You practically grew up with them!"

"I—"

A distinct notification sound cut us off. Lisa scrunched up her nose.

I know a week already passed since you highness' grand arrival but, it's not too late to give you your homecoming present, right L? xoxo

WATCH?

YES | NO

Jisoo's gasp was audible enough to make Hoseok and Yoongi look.

"Lisa..."

She handed the phone to Jisoo before turning around to walk back towards their house. Surprisingly, she felt numb.

It would have been okay since she knew they were together. But the video was taken during Hera and Zeus' renewal of vows. A month before Yoongi's accident.

"Lisa!"

She felt the cold ground as her weaks failed to support her. Yoongi was in front of her, trying to get her back into reality.

Reality. Huh.

"Lisa! Ya! Lalisa!" He said. "Are you okay? Ya, you're scaring me!"

As if her soul has been sucked out of her body, she stood up and resumed walking back into the house. Yoongi kept calling her back but she didn't respond. She was too numb to hear anyone out. All she can think about was to escape.

And she knew exactly where to go.

Jungkook smirked as she sat on the center booth of the club he recently bought. He was too bored so he bought some entertainment himself using the cash his father stacked up to 'make up for the time he's never around'.

Plus, he needs to keep his new company entertained as well, right?

"This place sucks," Lisa said as she leaned to Jungkook. "You should invest you dad's money somewhere a little bit more profitable than this, Kookie."

"Look around, doll," he replied as he motioned his hands towards the full booths and crowd. "This place is a moneymaker. I have eye for business, y'know."

"Pfft." She rolled her eyes as she took a sip off his champagne. "You know nothing about business like a rabbit knows his way out of a maze."

"And you know nothing about having fun like a monkey knows nothing about math."

Lisa raised her eyebrow. "Is that a dare?"

Jungkook yet again showed her a smirk to die for. "If it is, are you up for it."

Lisa scoffed before standing up. "Watch and learn, bunny boy."

He was left in awe as she made her way towards center stage. With one thrust of her hip sideways, the crowd cheered.

Did he forget to mention that this was a high-class strip club?

As Lisa's hand found her way to the zipper of her dress, revealing her designer babydoll dress camisole that falls at the mid of her thigh accentuating her long deadly legs.

Her body moved along with the music at ease catching everyone's attention—especially his. Her smile radiated throughtout the room as she did her very own sexy dance number warning whistles and applause.

"Who is she?" A guy near him said.

He couldn't help but smile himself. Eyes locked on that exquisite demigod looking straight at him with that same charming smile of hers.

"I don't know either..." he muttered. "I have no idea..."

Everyone knows that L and Kook are the masters of truth and dare. 

But here's one dare for the both of you: Don't fall in love with each other. 

If I lose, I will disappear forever.

If I win, I get to stay.

So buckle up, demigods. Look's like I'm staying for good.

You know you love me, 

X's and O's
