My breath hitched upon hearing his voice. My heart beating fast like a beast trying to get loose from its reins.

"What's your business here, fuck boy?"

"Wow! For a foreigner, you sure know how to curse." He laughed, "You never fail to amaze me."

I scoffed at him. I made a promise to myself last time that I would not let the likes of him intimidate or belittle me. I sure want to see the day when I wipe that arrogant look from his face.

"I asked you a question." I pointed out, removing his arm from my shoulders as I took a step back. I want to keep a fair distance between us as much as possible.

"So did I. Two questions to be exact."

"What?"

Before I could even ask further, he was already making his way to the the right side of the room. He traced his steps towards the direction where BamBam and the others are to my utter dismay. My heart sank further when they gave each other a hug and pats on the back like a group of high schoolers.

Of course, how can I forget? BamBam told me some time ago that he became close with other male idols who are '97 liners and even made a group account exclusively for them. And YugYeom and Jungkook are really close friends and consider each other as brothers. I reckon he is part of the possé.

I have two options left. Fight or flight. At any given circumstance, I would choose the latter, but the one I'm dealing with is a bastard whose ego twice his size. I won't give him the benefit of thinking that I ran away because of him. It would only tolerate his self appraisal and hurt my pride.

"Noona!" BamBam waved at me, gesturing me to join them. "How long are you planning to stand there?"

Swallowing the lump in my throat, I waved weakly back at him. Suck it up Lisa. Don't let him faze you. He is nothing but an overbearing, narcissistic, horny prick.

I sauntered across the gleaming floorboards dragging my feet with me. With every step I take, the gloomier my mood becomes. As I got nearer, I observed that they act just like any other people - chatting and catching up with each other. Him, included. He looked so cute and innocent with that bunny smile of his. If I didn't know better, I would have viewed him differently.

"Lisa! Come and sit with us!" The tallest guy among the bunch called me and patted the seat right next to him. "We missed you, you know?"

"Kim Yugyeom! Where's your manners? She's older that you." BamBam fired back at his group's maknae.

"But we're born at the same year hyung! Besides, she's-"

"She's still eight months older, idiot." Jackson sunbae interjected. He smiled and greeted me in Thai. "By the way, congratulations in your comeback. YG artists never disappoint."

"Thank you, sunbae." I smiled back at him, giving a deep bow, while also bowing to the rest of them - BamBam, YugYeom, and him.

"Hey! How many times do I have to tell you to call me oppa?" Jackson sunbae clicked his tongue, "I thought we are already close."
