The interviews rolled around in the midst of the afternoon and you were happy to tail along with the boys to a conference room in the hotel that had been hired out with an interviewer, cameraman, staff and translator.

It was Jungkook's turn being individually interviewed with Leiko who, of course, was translating for them.

He got up from sitting with you on a couch against one wall and swapped places with Taehyung on the hot-seat.

A few minutes later you were chilling with Taehyung, talking nonsense to each other and trying not to laugh too loud around the microphones and cameras.

You noticed when Jungkook tensed up suddenly, mid-answer.

You wondered why but found the answer quite quickly.

There was a hand on his shoulder, a thumb rubbing lightly over his black cotton shirt.

You frowned at the girl sitting next to him, translating his words effortlessly.

You knew you could do her job just as well so it ticked you off that she seemed to think she was special and all high and mighty enough to touch your man.

"Tae." you whispered and he ripped his eyes from his phone screen to confused pout at you.

"Why is the translator so touchy with Jungkook?"

"Oh, Leiko is uh- his ex."

"Leiko? Is she the crazy one?" you asked and he nodded sheepishly.

Your eyes were glued to her and Taehyung swore he saw you twitch when her hand dropped to rest on his thigh.

You stood up and Taehyung saw it too. He grabbed your wrist and yanked you back into your seat as quickly as you had got up.

You were pissed that Jungkook had his ex feeling him up right infront of you.

"Taehyung, you have to let me smack a bitch once in a while." you said as he held your wrist still, going back to his phone.

"Taeee" you whined quietly, tugging your wrist.

"Y/n look how uncomfortable he is, just because that's his ex and he can't do anything about it during recording doesn't mean he likes her, he literally ran from her during the last interview with us."

Taehyung was trying not to give away what happened last time with Leiko kissing Jungkook and grabbing him inappropriately.

He wanted to tell his best friend but he knew it wasn't his place.

You huffed beside him and sank back into the seat, watching Leiko like a hawk.

As soon as the camera was off and the interviewer was packing up the equipment with the cameraman, Jungkook whispered to Leiko.

"Stop touching me." he bated her hand off of his thigh too since she clearly had no intention of moving it.

Leiko just grinned at him in amusement and ran the back of her hand over his cheekbone lightly.

The action would've made him melt normally but he was annoyed and trying not to make a scene in front of the workers or you.

Namjoon had noted Jungkook's awkwardness with Leiko throughout the interview so as soon the camera was off he was moving to Jungkook.

"Hyung." Jungkook said when Namjoon stood in front of him.

Jungkook jumped off the stool and waited for Namjoon to say something.

"Thank you Leiko, you can leave now." he said being his usual polite and sensibly calm self yet still passive aggressive enough for her to get his tone.

Leiko smiled sheepishly at Namjoon, she always saw him to be too stuck up for her liking even though he was the complete opposite of being stuck up.

She bowed at him and Jungkook and they bowed back.

Leiko frowned at you as she spotted Taehyung holding onto you.

You were standing with him now, itching to throw something at her.

She knew you were Jungkook's girlfriend, she had figured that as soon as she had walked in and spotted Jungkook basically drooling over you.

She gave you that bitchy 'ew' girl-look and you just plastered on a grin and whispered "Bye, Bitch," you being the petty queen you were.

Leiko stopped in her tracks and turned to look at you, "What'd you say, Bitch?" she hissed in Japanese.

"Bye. Bitch." in Japanese is how you replied, emphasis on Bitch.

Jungkook and Namjoon were already behind Leiko by now so when she raised her hand to hit you Jungkook managed to grab her elbow.

"I wouldn't hit her, Leiko." he says lowly, annoyed.

Everyone in the room was watching and they could tell you were the bad bitch out of you and Jungkook.

"Bye Leiko." Taehyung said.

They all wanted her to leave.

Leiko yanked her arm from Jungkook's hand and looked at you again.

Pissed as can be, she turned around but you clearly hadn't finished.

"Thank God I ain't have to smack a bitch today." you added.

Leiko straightened her hand out at her side and before you knew it she had slapped you across the cheek expertly. Her claws of acrylics adding to the rosy imprint that now showed on your face.

You felt your nose run instantly and she built her cocky persona back up, standing infront of you.

"Whoa, catch a case." you said, wiping blood that started to drop from your nose. You smirked as you inspected the blood on your hand.

"Sue me." Leiko sassed, hands on her hips.

The guys were too in shock to do anything at this moment.

You took advantage of their momentarily paused brains and socked Leiko right in the face.

You knew how to punch, lawyers and boxing had always been such an old one-two.

In other words lawyering and boxing are similar opposites. As a lawyer you fight with words and as a boxer you fight with fists. Both have a structure of rules, requirements and strategies guiding how and when to attack, defend, take a hit or two all in order to set up a better punch. Both require being able to 'think on your feet' whether in the ring or courtroom.

You split Leikos bright pink lipsticked lips.

She hissed as she stumbled back into Namjoon just for him to grab her.

Jungkook grabbed your face, the blood now dripping onto your lip as well as your sudden unexpected movement that he seemed to watch in slow motion shocking him out of his stunned state. He went into nurse mode, checking if you were ok.

Taehyung made an 'oop' face from beside you, his hand had dropped your wrist before you had punched Leiko but now it was back but on your shoulder, inspecting your nose with Jungkook.

"Your ass is done." Namjoon growled and Leiko yelped as he yanked her from the room along with Jin.

"Holy. Shit." was all you heard Yoongi say before your adrenaline deafened you as the two boys inspected your face, asking you questions.
