"I think you just lose the only bad boy who's willing to be good just for you."

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

For some reason, Jimin Clark finally attended the royal's ritual every Saturday afternoon on the Milkshake Shop and that's a late brunch for the rest of them. Imagine Hearst's surprised when the guy seated next to his cousin August.

He literally showed up after not even talking to them for a month! Okay, probably that's only Lisa's case because she had seen him talking to the boys once in a while.

"Look who finally remembered he have friends!" Joy was the first one to react while Clark is exchanging bro-handshake with the boys. The latter shifted his attention to the moping girl, and Soojin nudge her.

"Give Jimin the benefit of the doubt, Joy. He seems really busy with the past weeks." She defended and Clark smiled to her before looking again to Joy who only crosses her arms.

"I'm really sorry, Cooper. It won't happen again." Jimin quickly take out his hand from his denim jacket front pocket and showed his pinky to her, Joy raised a brow still mad at him but who can't resist a bad boy who's acting like a cute little child?

The girl let out a sighed before taking out her pinky too and intertwining it with his. "Did you lose your grumpiness too within those weeks?"
Joy rolled her eyes but then laughing when Jimin reach to mess her hair, she quickly slaps his hand away and the group watch them reconcile.

Lisa awkwardly laugh with them as she sips to her vanilla milkshake. She was seating at the corner in front of Stewart, and Jimin is thankfully at the other side far from her but she didn't expect he will look at her. Still having the smile on his lips from laughing Clark greeted her "Hey."

Hearst's throat went dry as she was dumbfounded with the sight that met her eyes, did Clark just smiled at her?!

It felt like a blur, she couldn't even reply and he was again talking to the guys.

"Looks like he's in a good mood."
She heard Soojin whispered to her, Lisa could only shrugged her shoulders.

"Yeah, he went out for cheeseburgers last night. You know he loves those."
Lisa casually says as she circled her straw on her milkshake, Soojin stop sipping at hers as she stared at the brunette with furrowed brows.

"You're such a stalker, how did you know?" Her best friend laughed and slap her shoulder finding it humorous but Hearst didn't even budge, she just keep twirling her straw.

"I heard it from Jonas. He can't stop talking about it." Thinking about it just put her in a strange bad mood.

Soojin stopped laughing also and curiously asked the brunette,
"Why?"

"Maybe because he's with Suzy Sunfire the whole time?"
Hearst answered bluntly. Forgetting Soojin's one sided crush to their bad boy friend.

Shit. Lisa mentally cursed, she stopped twirling the straw as she glanced at her best friend who's processing what she just said.

Silent Soojin suddenly turned red as she scoffed at Lisa who quickly look away when Soojin turned to look at her again. 
"Shut up! He's always with her these days. Are they going out?"

Are they?

Lisa bit her bottom lip before she tried to look unbothered,
"Who cares right?" She chuckled nervously, silently praying she wouldn't look suspicious at all, but Soojin frowned glancing at the bad boy who's engrossed with catching up to their friends.

"I do."
When she heard those words from her best friend another guilt spread through her stomach and even with the freshly arrived bacon and waffles she ordered earlier doesn't look pleasing now to eat.

Everyone's started digging their ordered food but Lisa was left staring at hers. Nathaniel noticed this as he gestured his boyfriend Stewart to look at the brunette who got sucked on her own world. The latter released a sigh and tried to steal her attention by looking at Jimin who's laughing with Tyler and August.

"So how's going with the new hobby?"
Stewart succeeded and caught everyone's attention when he asked the bad boy, the group is curious on what hobby he's getting all busy this time.

Clark ran his hand through his hair before shaking his head as a slow smile formed on his full lips.
"It was great. Actually we're competing tonight, you all wanna come?"

"Competing?" Joy asked curious.

"Doesn't everybody know? J.C is now part of a dance troupe."
Stewart was the one who answered as he stuffed a slice of meat in his mouth.

August leaned back and point his fork at Clark, he's glaring at the latter with a frown that clearly state jealousy.
"Oh? Is that why you're with my angel and her horse looking best friend?"

Tyler who's beside him shake his head as he chuckled amusedly,
"Fucking whipped." He teased, that got him a glare to mr. playboy who suddenly became a one woman man.

"Shut the hell up, Tyler."
August replied which earned laughters to the rest of them.

Clark cleared his throat,
"So what, guys? Is that a yes?"

"We'll be there." Nathaniel was the first one to answer and the others followed in agreement.

"Cool! It's happening underground but it's completely legal. There will be party and booze so it's gonna be fun."
The bad boy gave them a boyish smile, obviously looking very excited for later. He bit his bottom lip, nodding to himself, and the rest look at each other.

The bad boy seems really happy today.

"Can't wait." Soojin smiled.

When Jimin Clark said underground, the royals expected to be more like rugged and maybe some ambiance of dirty toilet, but sure was not when they entered a 5 star looking hotel that placed an underground party pub for rich teenagers to go. They held parties, entertainments, and rap or dance battles to make the night more enjoyable to the young ones.

Music was as loud as thunder; and played over the dance floor as if had fused with the bodies. Neon lights flashed everywhere like police sirens, but much more colourful.

Hearst hugged herself as she winds her way through the warm bodies to order a drink - the dark local beer.

The royals following behind her as they did the same, she didn't dressed up that much compares to Soojin who's rocking a red sequined dress with her black hair lying over one shoulder or Joy who wore a black criss cross mesh top and a leather black skirt with her hair up into a clean high ponytail.

Hearst is only wearing a black sleeveless top which she tucked inside her high waisted denim jeans that hugged perfectly her tiny waist as she paired it with a simple sneakers. Her brown hair in a soft curly waves with her bangs framing her small face prettily and she didn't even bother to put any makeup on except to her lips that she painted bloody red.

She was effortlessly beautiful as people who saw her the first time she walked into that door they followed her moves like she's something very entertaining to watch.

"I think it's their turn."
August proclaimed, when he saw the all too familiar golden hair angel with the others making their way to the dance floor.

Lisa shifted her attention from the alcohol in her hand to the five people standing on the center of the huge crowded room.

"Let's go." Tyler said, as they hardly make their way to the nearest spot from the dance floor. There are so many people hyping up when the music blasted again but Hearst fight her way until she got to the front.

She stood there just silently, while her gaze wholly focused to the raven haired man, an unknown smile crawled to her lips as she watched him dance, his body moving in sync to the beat. The crowd were howling with cheers as they also groove to the upbeat music that echoed to the huge room but Hearst was there, doing nothing but to look at him.

Her heart start to pound with that familiar beat, she casted her gaze down, her lips into a somber smile. She couldn't do this anymore.

Hearst got only awaken from her train of thoughts when someone accidentally pushed her, thankfully Tyler who's not too far from her caught her waist, securely pulling her to him and helped Lisa get her balance.

He glared at the young teenager who pushes Lisa before checking if she's okay, to his surprised the brunette buried her face to Tyler's chest, she was biting her lips hard with threatening tears on her eyes.

Did she got hurt?! Tyler suddenly went alert and took her in his arms, he lifted her face by cupping her cheeks
"Why are you crying? Did he hit you?!" Hearst was fast to shake her head 'no' as she quickly wipe her tears away and smile "I'm sorry, I'm just emotional these days." She explained.

Tyler was about to reply when the crowd went loud and it caught their attention, both of them look at the dance floor and saw that the group just finished their performance.

Everyone were cheering for them and Clark never felt this euphoric in such a long time, his smile reached his eyes as the group bowed to the crowd before hugging each member for a job well done, Jimin quickly caught Suzy's wrist as he pulled her into a tight hug.
The latter was even glad to return it back, she was genuinely happy for him but when she felt a warm soft peck on her cheek before he left her to hug the others, Suzy got frozen on the spot.

Thank God, her cousin Alaska pulled her out from the dance floor, breaking her trance. She quickly search for the culprit and there he is in the corner laughing at her state. Damn, he knew he had that affect to everyone.

Suzy frowned at him before lifting her hand and pulled her middle finger up which only made Clark laugh harder.

Being in the front have cons and pros and this is surely one grate example for it, because Hearst and Tyler just saw everything. By that means, she saw the hug and even the friendly peck, it should've not bother her at all but Tyler words shake her world.

"I think you just lose the only bad boy who's willing to be good just for you."
Lisa gulped the growing lump in her throat, as she fake a laugh.

"What are you talking about? Let's just go and inform the others." She pat his arm as she started to walk away as fast as she could, Lisa didn't even care if how many people she had pushed and bumped into as long as she gets away from there.

She quickly got to the bar where she spotted Julia Bella Ross with a pissed Nathaniel Raeburn. Lisa raised a brow, where the heck is Stewart?

Ah, whatever. She's thirsty.

With their group winning against the other two, they were again invited for another dance battle next month.

After they were informed about that and got their winning prize, the members separated paths to enjoy the night while it's still young. Alaska and Jazz went to groove to the now crowded dance floor, then Irene joined her cousin Julia to the bar, while Suzy and Clark decided to stay at the corner with drinks in their hand.

Clark's jaw clenched as he continuously drink at his fourth bottle of cold beer, the thought of what he saw earlier trundled through his brain like a through train, with no intention of stopping. As he silently watched the sexy brunette on the bar laughing with the Ross girls and the other side of her is a silent Nathaniel with Stewart who's definitely sharing one of his dad jokes to the four of them.

"If you keep doing that, you'd melt her." Suzy glanced at him, her back leaning at the wall with Clark beside her. She hates the bitter taste of alcohol so she only ordered sweet cocktail drinks, she's casually sipping her blue hawaiian, letting Jimin Clark drink his beers quietly as they observe the rowdy young crowd of the bar.

Although she figured out that he doesn't even have the slightest interest of their surroundings but to the pretty lady in white washed jeans.

"Do you wanna dance?"
Jimin shifted his attention to her, Suzy smiled and stared at him.

All this time he's been trying so hard to distract himself, hiding all those pain and hopes to be with that girl of his dreams, and Suzy witnessed all of that, helping him to get over with her only to be pulled back again after the end of the day.

"You don't need to distract yourself every time you know?"
He doesn't need also to pretend that everything is alright with him when it's certainly still not.

"I know, but it's painful."
He confessed looking down at his almost empty bottle of beer, then Suzy's hand went top of his that caught his attention to drew his gaze back to her.

"You'll get through it. I'm here."
She comforted him with a gentle smile before pulling him from his seat as they make through way to the dance floor, helping the bad boy once again to divert his thoughts away from his sweetest downfall.

They banged their heads to the loud musics and do crazy dance, laughing to each other as they completely put all away their worries tonight.

They were laughing and shouting at each other to converse, they weren't still drunk but the crowd and the colorful blinding lights made them both dizzy, until he felt someone melting their body to his from behind. Jimin halted and turned to look at that someone, only to be greeted with flirty eyes and lazy smile of Soojin Williams.

Clark glanced at Suzy which the girl quickly nodded her head and gave him a thumbs up, she went to where Alaska and Jazz were only to see them with August, who again pestering her cousin.

Meanwhile, at the other side of the club where the brunette was comfortably seated at, she wholly drank a shot of the bar's strongest drink with her eyes still glaring at the dance floor. 

If looks meant to kill? Someone was already laying down there, cold blood.

"If you want it that bad? Why won't you get it, sweetie?"
The smooth velvety voice of Julia Bella Ross played in her ears and when she turned her head to look at the sexy latina, she only winked at her. Hearst dragged her gaze again to the dance floor before she put down her feet to stood up, and all suddenly it had its own minds.

Suzy was talking to Jazz and Alaska was doing her best to ignore August when Suzy's phone rung, alerting her to get away from the dance floor to answer the other line, and Jimin who's keeping his eyes at her was also alerted when he saw her trying to wind her way out of the crowd.

He apologizes to his friend Soojin before following Suzy out. Clark found her in the dark hallway near the exit with her phone on her ear, talking to someone.

"Okay, I'll be there."
He heard her say before ending the call.

"You're going?" Suzy was shocked to see Clark followed her all the way here. She slowly nodded her head, "Yes, Jonas just called." She answered, truthfully.

"I'll drive you then." He nodded and was about to walk closer to her when Suzy shake her head, "No, it's okay. I can handle myself. You have fun here." She assured.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, J.C hundred percent! See you on Monday okay?"
She smiled before she rushed her way out. Clark couldn't do nothing but to nod his head and stay rooted on his spot.

He hated the fact that someone chooses Jonas again over him. Jimin released a deep breath before running his hand through his sweaty raven hair. Jimin Clark defeatedly leaned his body to the cold wall as he again was lost in his own thoughts.

He take out a cigarette in his jacket and put it between his teeth, he lit it and took a deep drag and exhaled the smoke into the air, watching it disappear in the cloud of smoke, sweet toxins filled his lungs and he exhaled his relief.

He was busy finishing his cigarette when he heard slow footsteps, approaching him. He forced his heavy gaze to look when a pair of familiar sneakers halted him from completely looking up.

"Clark."
Her sweet voice filled his ears and he locked eyes with Lisa Hearst.

We all know Jimin Clark had a thing for danger; he'd flirt with death to distract him from pain and this person in front of him is a hella dose of it.

Clark let out a lazy smirk, the scene of Tyler and Lisa from earlier took over his head as he didn't even wait for her to speak.

He let go of his cigarette to the floor and stepped on it before he pulled her neck, banged her body to the wall, and crashed his lips to hers.

Her arms reached up and tangled around his thick, strong neck. In an instant he had pulled away and Hearst arched up into his broad chest, moaning in the contact of body heat.

"I fucking hate you, Hearst." She heard him whispered to her, his warm soft lips grazing to her.

They were breathing hard against each other's mouth.

"I bloody hate you more, Clark."
Lisa stated angrily as her fingers grip his hair tightly, pulling Jimin again as she slammed her lips ferociously back at him.

He groaned softly, low in his throat, and then his arms circled her, gathering her against him as he kissed her back.

Lisa Hearst cannot believe they were sharing an angry kiss right now.

The very fact that they are in a public place and anyone might walk in and see them together is not even important right now, because letting out their jealousy on each other is more powerful than minding the whole world around them.
