Stay On Track (Bangpink AU)

~13~

(A/N: bro, Hollywood fix sparking a rumor of Rosé and Jennie's possible pregnancy because they were seen at a children's clothing store in FRICKIN LA is the funniest thing to ever happen this week. I'm hoping it's for Halsey's baby cuz that would be so cute!!)

Jungkook offers to drive Rosie to her job once again in case any sort of issue happens, since the scandal was still freshly exposed. To their surprise, their suspicion was correct.

"Oh my god" Jungkook's doe eyes lands on the hoard of paparazzi's surrounding the café, with a few policemen controlling the situation. "I knew it." 

"How am I supposed to get in?" Rosie unbuckles her seatbelt and puts on her mask and bucket hat. 

"Let me get you in there, I gotchu." He exits the car and runs around to open her door. The camera men seem to have a good eye because they were already snapping photos of the two. He leads Rosie with his hand behind her back and rushes her into the door, while covering her face from the cameras. The policemen in the mean time where stopping the men from getting closer. As Rosie approaches the door, she catches certain questions being shouted towards her. 

Why did you steal J-hope's song?

There are rumors about your online feud with Lili and J-hope? Is that true?

Can you confirm or deny the dating rumors between you and J the producer?

Jungkook pulls the handle of the door, but it seems to be locked. 

"W-why is it locked? We can't get in." Jungkook curses as he knocks on the door. Luckily, Lisa notices their presence and rushes to unlock the door.

"Quick, get in before anyone else does." Lisa says as she pulls them in and locks the door back up. "They kept crowding the entrance and I wasn't able to unlock the door to open the shop. The police told me to wait until they leave but it's been an hour."

"Dear god." Jungkook watches as the reporters begged the policemen to let them in. 

"I'm so glad you're safe!" Lisa hugs Rosie tightly. Although the events from last night kept replaying in her head, she wants to keep fighting for Rosie's happiness. Lisa looks up and makes eye contact with Jungkook, who glares back at her as she embraces Rosie. Lisa quickly backs away from the hug and offers her a smile. "If you want, you can work with Jin at the back if you don't feel comfortable with working out here."

"Oh my gosh thank you!!" Rosie hops in place and grabs Lisa's hands. "You understand me so well!" Lisa felt the invisible daggers striking her back. This really hurts to witness. Rosie scurries to the back room, leaving both younger ones behind. 

"She seems happy with you around." Jungkook comments, still glaring at Lisa.  

"You can choose not to believe me but I really care about her. She means a lot to me." Lisa crosses her arms and pouts. 

"No I believe you, but you're gonna have to tell her eventually." Jungkook sits on one of the chairs, making her sit next to him as well. She sighs loudly as she places her chin on her palm.

"I would've told her beforehand. If it wasn't for the idiot who decided to steal the track." Jungkook raises his eyebrows, not expecting her to talk smack about her work partner. 

"Wasn't it your idea?" He asks, now intrigued by her sudden spilling. 

"Nope. I tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen." 

"Why did he do it anyway? Just to get back at Jimin?" Lisa shakes her head. 

"It's private reasoning. Can't tell you. It's not entirely because of Jimin though." Jungkook leans back on his chair, not questioning any further. "That's it? You're not gonna ask me anything else?" Lisa asks, confused on why he stopped his curiosity.
