Congratulations to the Best Of Next . . . BLACKPINK!

The Artist of the Year award goes to . . . BTS!

To say that the winners announced in MAMA turned tables was an understatement. This made BTS' career path skyrocket. However, their disbandment was still in the talks. They weren't certain whether they could stabilize whatever hype or achievements they had. Everything remained uncertain.

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK, as much as they are thankful, the burden and pressure placed on their shoulders became heavier. Somehow, they expect much more from female groups. They have to behave a certain way and such.

"I won!" Yugyeom did a little victory dance upon successfully hitting a strike.

Jaehyun groaned, not expecting Yugyeom to actually hit all the pins. "Isn't Jungkook coming?" he asked. "I'm going to snatch him as my teammate the moment he arrives."

"If you can," Eunwoo teased.

"Where is that dude anyway?" Jaehyun checks the time on his wrist watch.

"Oh, he went to pick Lisa up," Bambam answered whilst being on his phone. "Am texting him right now. They're on their way."

"Lisa's coming?" Yugyeom clapped. "Finally. I missed that ball of sunshine."

"That's suspicious," Eunwoo said, squinting his eyes.

"That's weird," Jaehyun added. He crossed his arms beneath his chest. "They're not dating, are they?"

Bambam laughed out loud. "Not now, they aren't." He turned his phone off, placing it the back pocket of his pants. "I used to pick Lisa up as well, I haven't heard you chumps say anything about it."

"Touché," Eunwoo commented, standing up to proceed to where the bowling balls were.

Jaehyun pursed his lips. "Well, I personally didn't sense anything romantic going on between you two." He sits beside Bambam, attempting the have a one-on-one conversation with the lad.

"And you sense something romantic between Jungkook and Lisa?" Bambam lifted his eyebrows at him.

Mingyu, Dokyeom, and Myungho arrived. Mingyu immediately sat down beside Jaehyun, while Dokyeom and Myungho decided to play a round of bowling with Yugyeom and Eunwoo.

“What are we talking about here? Seems intense.” Mingyu chuckled.

“Jungkook and Lisa,” Jaehyun answered.

“Ah, the workaholics.” Mingyu chuckled. “What about them?”

Bambam snapped his fingers, as if he found the answer he's been waiting for. Jaehyun shook his head, now finding himself preposterous.

“I forgot.” Jaehyun chuckled.

Bambam shrugged, glancing at Eunwoo, Dokyeom, Myungho, and Yugyeom to check on them. He continued to talk to Jaehyun and Mingyu as he observed their other friends. “Exactly. They're the most career-driven among us.”

“I'm really curious about who Lisa would eventually like, though,” Mingyu confessed. “We know all of our ideal types already. All except for Lisa.”

“You curious about that, why?” Bambam asked, starting to get all protective. He looked at Mingyu, squinting his eyes.

“Me too, I'm curious,” Jaehyun said, raising his right hand a bit to agree with Mingyu.
