SeokJin POV

I stared at the rest of them as we were in the waiting room. It has been weeks since Namjoon told us about the new rule. Yet Taehyung and Jimin still continue acting like it's the end of the world. So far, all I remember we have to do is whenever we stand next to Twice, we have to act like we care about them. We also have an upcoming collaboration with GFriend I think? That's probably where Jimin and Taehyung started to lose it even more.

"Taehyung, you nearly blew us up when you were going to talk to Joohyun noona that time."

I stared at Namjoon who was talking to Taehyung in his calmest voice ever. Here I thought I would have scolded Taehyung but that is what makes Namjoon leader worthy.

"I know... I just miss her..."

"Can someone talk to Yeri for me? She can't take me seriously after that emceeing job with Sana."

"I'll do it." I replied as I grabbed my phone and messaged Yeri.

Those two are a shock. I always thought they were never that serious in their relationship. Seeing how nothing is yet ruining their ship seems amazing.

🐢 Red Velvet Yerim 💜

Yah.
Jungkook needed someone to talk to you.
What's up?

I felt Jungkook's presence next to me as he leaned over to see her reaction. These two... they are seriously damn cute.

"You put a heart next to her name?"

"We all do Jungkook. Nothing wrong with that." Hoseok replied back as I watch him pout.

🐢 Red Velvet Yerim 💜

AHAHAHAHHA LOOK AT HIM
I can see through how he definitely hates that.

Before I could reply, Jungkook snathed my phone and messaged her instead. Like he could not message her on his own phone.

🐢 Red Velvet Yerim 💜

Oh please.
It was scripted.
And of course I hate it
You know I hate doing cute stuffs like that.

Saeron also told me that you were awkward.
AHAHHAHA LOSER.
LOOK AT THAT SMUG FACE.
*secretly dying inside*

How are we even dating gosh?
People would often get jealous.
You? You just laugh at me.

Right?
Aren't we such relationship goals?
AHAHAHAHHA

The next thing I knew it, Jungkook gave up and walked away. I laughed a bit as I got another notification.

The rest of us had a good laugh as Yeri continued spamming the group chat with screenshots of Jungkook. Meanwhile Jungkook continued to die as he tries to let everything pass by in the group chat. Not to forget him constantly trying to change the subject.

-

"So... we just need to dance to this?" Yoongi asked for the umpteenth time

"Yes, hyung."

I laughed as I watched Yoongi grimaced once again with the video. Today's one of the schedules we have where we have to act like we are close with other girl groups. I mean some girl groups we are sort of close like Mamamoo I guess. But most of it is just us acting like we are close. I mean most of our schedules are kind of like that anyways. Once we reached the filming location, we headed straight for the makeup room. We only need to act like we care in front of cameras anyways. GFriend soon arrived as they greeted us before straight away heading for their room as well. That was when I got a nudge from Taehyung suddenly.

"What?" I complained as I grabbed another piece of fruit.

"Is it just me or did like one or two of them earlier was looking at Jungkook?"

"So? What's so wrong with looking at him? He's good looking. But not like me but sure I guess." I jokingly replied as I ate another fruit.

"No... I mean the way the y looked... It seems like they have some sort of feelings or something for him..." He tried to convince me,

"Yah. No need to overreact over such small matters. Now shoo." I shut him off before walking away.

The entire day, Taehyung just kept pestering me that something was up with the GFriend members and Jungkook. I mean asides from two of them which used to be trainees with us. There's literally no other connection. We even barely talked with the girl trainees back then asides from asking whether they were going to use the practice room first or not.

"Okay. I found out that almost all of the members goes to the same school as Jungkook. AND two of them, Yuju and Eunha, are the same age. WHAT IF THEY ARE IN THE SAME CLASS?"

I grabbed a napkin and shoved It in his mouth as he screamed the last part.

"Excuse you. Jungkook is staying back a year because we're having way too many schedules for him to cope."

"There are also two members from the same school hyung!"

I rolled my eyes sarcastically at him as we headed for the van. I don't want to hear another bt of this nonsense.

"Should I tell Yeri?

"Yah. There's really nothing to worry about. She made fun of him and Sana emceeing. What makes you think she cares about this anyways." I pointed out as he nodded in agreement.

Irene POV

"What are you doing?" I asked as I walked over to the sofa.

"Just scrolling through the channels."

I just pouted as I joined Seulgi on the couch. Ever since I stepped down from being an emcee, there was nothing much to do. Our company was being annoying and delaying our comeback even further. Meanwhile, I've been reading up news about BTS and all the news with them and other girl groups. Not going to lie that I was a tad bit jealous.

"Oh. My. God." Seulgi said as I looked up.

On the screen there was the BTS members and GFriend members dancing and singing along next to each other. I watched through the cringeworthy commercial barely. On the other hand, Taehyung seemed genuinely happy there... I guess he doesn't miss me that much?

"What was that?" I finally said as the commericals pass by.

I turned to Seulgi who shrugged in confusion as well. I don't even know where to start. How cringy it was? Or how happy they looked? I mean of course it could all be a misunderstanding. I mean they could just be acting. Or they are really genuinely happy. I mean I have read up that when your boyfriend and you don't spend a lot of time together. It's natural for a guy to gravitate around other girls.

"It's probably nothing right?" I continued smiling a bit towards Seulgi.

"Yeah..."

I watched as Seulgi's face slowly change. She has been a bit out of it. I mean ever since she found out we had to stay away from the boys. She hasn't quite been herself either. Of course she acts like she's fine. But back at home, she's always watching BTS videos and catching up with them. Why is our company so harsh with the rules and all?

"Sup, we're back." Sooyoung exclaimed as the front door bursted open.

Well now that the three noise makers are here, the house would be more livelier.

"Ayo what's up." Yeri added while eating her popsicle

"NEVER ask me to bring these two out shopping AGAIN."

I laughed as I witness Wendy trudge through the house and into her room immediately. She looks like she aged by 10 years just be going shopping. And the supermarket isn't even that far off from our house.

"That was fun. Let's go next time, unnie!" Yeri shouted back to Wendy who groaned.

Yeah... who needs the guys? When we have us girls here. There's no need for a man anyways. Without the guys we've been spending more time with one another anyways. Like playing games and watching late night movies together. It's totally fine without the guys. I looked out of the window and saw the sky.

"Pretty." I whispered to myself as I hear Yeri, Sooyoung and Seulgi quarrelling in the background.

I wonder if Taehyung is watching the same sky as me. And thinking of the same things as me? I grinned a bit at that thought. What was I thinking about him liking other girls? There's no way of that happening. It's Taehyung... He and me are in love. He wouldn't even do that.

"HOW DARE YOU. DON'T YOU DARE DROP THAT BOTTLE."

I turned around to see what the commotion was about. What I saw was Yeri on top of the dining table with a bottle of Pringles in her hand. Not to forget that she was dangling the Pringles bottle near the edge. Meanwhile, Seulgi was screaming at her while being held back by Sooyoung. Sooyoung who was also encouraging Yeri to drop it of course.

"To drop or not to drop? That is the question." Yeri quoted as she sat down on the dining table while still holding the Pringles bottle dangerously.

"Yah Kim Yerim. Be careful. You might fall." I warned her as she sat close by the edge.

"That's fine. If I get injured anyways, unnie would care for me." She smiled cheekily before dropping the bottle.

I watched as Seulgi crumbled to the floor and grabbed the bottle in her hands. She started to carress it and checked the contents before finally reacting to Yeri.

"Don't enter the roo- ah, nevermind." I heard Wendy sighed in defeat in the background.

I laugh a bit as I grabbed ny phone in efforts to ignore the noises in the background and the incoherent screams from who knows.

I forgot to mention this in the other chapter but I'll do it here. Just because I say in this book that other ships moments are scripted doesn't really mean I think so. Sone of them coukd be real for all we know so no need to bash other ships about it and be contented with our own instead. 😊
