Word count: +2.8K
________________________________________
Rei left out a breath she didn’t know she was holding as she watched Ethan and June wheeling Rafael out through the decontamination room and down the hallway, solitary figures in a labyrinth of plastic. She had the sensation that her mentor took one last worried look over his shoulder to where she was. 
The silence that fell over was deafening, the pressure in her head felt too much. Now, all alone, she felt like she was the last person on Earth. She curled up on her bed and the tears came hard. She let them fall, hiding her face behind her hands, her frail and weak body quivering to the intensity of her weeping.
She cried for Danny, for Bobby, mourning the loss of those two souls. She cried for Rafael, scared of what could happen to him overnight. She cried for Kyra, fighting for her life at the O.R. She cried for herself. She felt scared of what fate had in store for her.
Working with medicine, she had to learn to endure that sometimes they were unable to save everyone. Death was part of life and a hospital staff dealt with it more often than most people would.
But she was scared either way. She was terrified. The feelings were overwhelming. Mourning, loneliness, anger, regret, helplessness, fear.
________________________________________
What it seemed to be much later, her friends and the diagnostics team arrived outside the window to her room. She felt tired, her eyes dry and puffy from crying so much.
She noticed Bryce standing behind Baz, staring at her with haunted eyes.
“How’s Kyra? The surgery must be over now…” “She’s fine. She’s resting. She, uh… we haven’t told her what’s happening with you yet.” - Rei nodded.
“Good idea.”
Sienna sniffed and buried her face in Jackie’s shoulder. The diagnostics team informed her that she had maitotoxin.
There was no cure for maitotoxin.
...She was going to die there.
Rei felt a wave of emotions all over again, feeling more helpless than she had ever felt. That was going to be her last night on earth.
Ethan told her to not give up yet. That was something so typical of her mentor to say and something she would usually be thankful for. If it hadn’t been for his tough love, she wouldn’t be the doctor she was today.
But today, right now, she wasn’t a doctor. She was just a dying being. He assured her that they’d synthesize an antidote overnight. Usually, she would believe and put faith in him. She trusted in Ethan Ramsey, and in June and Baz.
But that night she wasn’t feeling much hopeful. Even though Aurora came in with a group of doctors from Mass Kenmore. Even though Carrick affirmed that she wouldn’t die on their watch. Rei felt that she was already far from being saved.
Everyone said their goodbyes and followed June and Baz to the lab. Ethan stayed behind for a moment more, his pale blue eyes fixed on his favorite mentee, on the woman he was secretly in love, his face wrinkled with worry and something else. Fear. Regret. Longing.
“It isn’t over yet, Rookie.” - he said, and she smiled weakly at the nickname. - “You should try and get some rest.”
“What, are you my doctor now?” - she snapped back at him, good humouredly.
“Yes. I’m telling you as a doctor and...” - he hesitated, as if he tried to carefully choose his next words.
The head of the diagnostics team reminisced about the talk he had with Sienna on their way to a FBI field office earlier, where he confessed he had rather unprofessional feelings for Rei. But he didn’t tell Sienna the complete truth: although he had never really confessed to her, Rei knew about his feelings for her. At least, back then when she still was an intern. And Ethan was more than aware that her feelings for him weren’t mutual. She had rejected him. And he still pinned for her either way. And she could possibly die soon. Real soon.
He thought about throwing everything to the ceiling and fully confessing to her. How he still loved her. That might be his last chance.
...But that wouldn’t be fair. To Rei. A love confession from her boss and mentor was the least thing she needed right now. And it would be unfair to Dr. Lahela too. Whatever was the nature of their relationship, it was clear that Rei loved that scalpel jockey. And that, this time, the feelings were mutual.
The young surgeon was a few feet away, leaning against the wall, his hands buried inside his pockets, staring down at his feet, patiently waiting for his turn to talk to Rei. And Ethan was sure that he would possibly spend the rest of his night keeping her company. That was something she would want. 
“...as your friend.” - he finished his thought.
Rei nodded, smiling gratefully at Ethan, unaware of the storm of emotions he had inside him, and he left. 
She heard him exchanging a few words with someone who was behind the wall. Bryce came into view as he stepped to the side, lingering by the window. He forced a smile.
“It’s all gonna be okay, Rei. I promise. You heard Dr. Ramsey, they’re going to find a cure.”
“Bryce, you don’t have to pretend to be positive for my sake.”
The smile left his face.
“...I’m not. It’s for my sake. If I don’t stay optimistic, I’m gonna lose it. I can’t let myself do that. Not yet. Not while there’s still hope.”
“Okay. Whatever helps.” - she murmured, resting her head back into her pillow on her back. - “What did Ethan tell you?” “He asked me to take care of you.” - he frowned. - “You should try and sleep. You need to keep your strength up.”
“I don’t know if I can. I keep thinking about Raf… wondering how long he can hang on…”
Bryce looked down to his side, to the spare hazmat suit nearby, his brain working.
“...What if I stayed with you for a while? Would that help? There’s another hazmat suit out there.” - he smiled warmly at her. - “You know us scalpel jockeys. We’re beyond useless in the lab, anyway.”
That proposal seemed to bring a bit of life back into Rei, her eyes shining.
“Are you sure? What about Keiki? Will she be okay?”
“Keiki is a teenager, Rei, not a baby. She can take care of herself for a night. Besides, she forbade me of going home with you like this.” “Did you tell her…?” 
“Yeah. I said I’d be up late here. She told me to stay here with you. Keiki’s your number #1 fan, Rei.”
Rei chuckled softly and agreed on Bryce staying with her that night. A few minutes later, she heard the decontamination tent activating, and he entered her room.
“What do you think? Am I still handsome? Or am I somehow more handsome? Be honest.”
She laughed as Bryce strutted through the door in his bulky hazmat suit.
“It’s your best look yet. You should rock this every day.”
“Don’t tempt me, Rei.”
“I can’t believe you actually came in here.” - her voice dropped to a murmur.
“If I’m gonna be here for you, I’m gonna be here for you.” - he walked to her bed, standing up beside it and took her hand, squeezing it gently, as if to prove he was not a dream.
“I’m glad. I’m not doing so well in here on my own.”
“Not true, Rei. You’ve been incredible today.” “I haven't done anything but watch two good men die.”
He suddenly enveloped her in his arms. It was a good hug, even through the thick plastic suit.
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.” - he whispered into her ear and then Rei felt the tears back into her eyes.
She weakly circled her arms around him and sobbed. She looked so fragile.
“Bryce, I-- I’m scared.” - she confessed, hiding her face on his chest. He let her weep, his hands rubbing up and down her back in a comforting movement, saying nothing.
She was scared of not waking up in the morning. Of not being able to spend one more night at Donahue's with her friends. Of not knowing if Kyra had made it all after her surgery. Of not being able to see Bryce's smile ever again, or to feel his touch. She was scared that the last news their family would have of her was about her death.
“I know it wasn't my fault that this happened… but I still feel so full of regret. This might be last night on earth…”
“Hey, none of that. You need to stay positive.”
She brushed away her tears.
“Oh? Any suggestions on how to manage that?”
“I think we already established how incredible I look in this.” - he tried to give her a confident smirk. Rei smiled ruefully, her eyes red due to her crying.
“That’s… not quite doing it for me.”
“Fair. Then let’s focus on all the positive in you. What are you most proud of? What makes you happiest?”
“I definitely am most proud of my job.”
“As you should be. You’re a fantastic doctor, Dr. Sato.”
“And of working in the diagnostics team, although at first I didn’t intend to be part of it when we were interns.”
“I remember all the drama.” - it was almost funny how it seemed pettiless compared to what was happening now.
“And about what makes me the happiest… probably… You.” - she confessed, her cheeks blushing slightly.
“Now there’s a pleasant plot twist.” - Bryce grinned.
“Are you surprised?”
“Not really. I don’t want to make you feel like you’re not special, but I’m a lot of people’s reason for living.”
“You asked for my favorite thing, not my reason for living.” - she pointed out, smiling back at him. - “In light of the new framing, I’m changing my answer to ‘pictures of baby animals’.” - he laughed.
“That’s actually fair. I’ll allow it.”
They grinned at each other and, even filtered by the mask, the beauty of Bryce’s smile could still almost blow Rei away.
“Gosh, you’re pretty.” - she murmured, adoration in her eyes. But to her surprise, his smile faded. - “Bryce? Did I say something wrong?”
“No. I just… Rei, I really am trying to stay positive. We both have to. But…” - he hesitated.
“But what?”
The truth was that Bryce was desperately trying to keep his cool. He somehow managed to do it at the operating room, but now, seeing Rei so terrified, feeling so helpless…
And even though she was the one in that situation, unsure of her fate, Rei Sato still was able to comfort him. To check on him, to make him feel like the most amazing person in the whole world.
He loved her.
He felt his heart clutching inside his chest and out of breath, a lump in his throat.
“You mean a lot to me, Rei. More than you know, probably. The idea of losing you…” - he trailed off, shaking his head ruefully, unable to finish his sentence.
Rei could see a sadness in his eyes as he gazed back up at her, but also something more… that something that made her heartbeat speed up.
“Bryce, you mean a lot to me too. As a friend, and as more…” - she murmured, her cheeks turning a bit redder and less pale.
“Yeah?” - he asked, as if he couldn’t believe his own ears.
“Yeah. I don’t know what waits for me tomorrow… Hell, I don’t even know if I’ll get a tomorrow. But if tonight’s my last night on earth, then you’re the one I want to spend it with.”
“Well, damn, Rei. Talk about bittersweet.” - he smiled, his eyes glistening with the tears that threatened to fall.
“Let’s focus on the sweet part.”
She gently took his gloved hands and led him to the bed, too small for them both, especially with his suit, but they didn't care.
"Would you hold me?"
"I'd love to, Rei." - he curled around her, spooning her tightly from behind. She always felt safe whenever she was in his arms.
"I wish I could feel your skin."
"You will."
"I wish I could kiss you."
"Sorry, was I mumbling? You will, Rei. You're going to get through this." 
"It's nice."
"What?"
"Hearing a doctor tell you this. It almost makes you believe that it will really be okay." - Rei swallowed another fresh wave of fear.
"What is it?" - his voice sounded worried.
She turned to face him, the tears welling up on her eyes again.
"What if the inside of this hospital room is the last place I see? What if…"
"Hey, don't go there." - he said, brushing off the hair out of her face. She took a deep breath.
"I need a kiss." - he smiled, amused by her request.
"How do you want to manage that one?"
"With a lot of imagination, I guess?"
Smiling softly, he lifted her fingertips in his hand, bending over them to 'kiss' her through the mask. Rei couldn't feel the softness of his lips, but a tingle of warmth shot through her nonetheless.
"How was that?"
"Better than I expected, honestly."
"Good."
His arms tightened around her. She laid still, enjoying the strength of his embrace until, at last, sleep clouded the edges of her mind.
"I'm glad I at least got to hold you one last time…"
"It's not the last time, Rei. I promised." - she heard Bryce say as she drifted off to a restless sleep.
________________________________________
The hours passed slowly, but Bryce didn't dare to close his eyes, afraid of losing her. Rei's weak breathing was the only sound in the room. Her body would squirm occasionally and low whimpers would escape her lips as the pain would hit her. He would brush off a strand of hair away from her face, her skin feeling both clammy and cold through his glove.
Much later, when the sun was already up the next morning, Bryce still found himself with Rei. He was now in the chair right next to her bed.
She woke suddenly to a stabbing pain in her midsection. She clutched her stomach, gasping at the intensity.
"It's okay, Rei. You're okay." - he rubbed her back soothingly, his voice comforting.
She gave in, riding the wave of pain until it passed. When it was over, she lied back down the bed, feeling weaker than ever, breathing hard. She gazed listlessly at the window just as her friends hurried up.
"Rei! We did it!" - she heard Aurora's voice and blinked at the blurry shapes of people in the window.
"Huh?"
"Seriously? You guys found an antidote?" - Bryce asked, immediately standing up.
"Something like that." - Carrick smirked confidently. 
Rei took a shuddering breath, trying not to hope too hard. Ethan, June and Baz came swimming into focus as they entered her room. They looked exhausted, but there was a glint of hope in their eyes.
"How?"
Ethan explained, a smile on his tired face. They hoped it would keep the maitotoxin from progressing any further. They had already administered it to Rafael, but there hadn't been any change of his condition so far, neither for worse nor better. 
Well, it was better than nothing. It was the only shot she had anyway.
"Give me your arm, Rei." - she presented her arm, barely able to hold it up. Bryce promptly cradled her, holding her arm still as Ethan prepared the injection. - "Ready?"
She smiled back at him.
"Ready."
He smoothly inserted the needle into her vein and dispensed the serum.
"And now we wait… and hope." - June concluded.
________________________________________
The next several hours passed in a slow, anxious crawl. Bryce had to go back to work, as well as all of her friends. Every hour, June would come by to test Rei's blood.
Slowly, her blood pressure started to stabilize. Eventually, the nausea receded. The world swimmed back into shaper focus, until…
"It worked!" - Bryce announced, loud and clear.
"Seriously? I'm cured?"
The young surgeon strode through the decontamination tent on his scrubs, with a megawatt smile that told her everything she needed to know.
"I told you it was going to be okay. I told you-- Unf!" - she printed across the room and into his arms so hard it nearly bowled him over. - "Couldn't you wait for me to cross the room, huh?" - he asked, looking down at her, enjoying the sensation of her arms hugging him tightly, her body against his.
She shook her head, a broad smile on her lips, her dark eyes shining with happiness, full of life.
"Nope."
Rei grabbed the front of his scrubs and pulled him into a dizzyingly deep kiss. Bryce immediately responded, kissing her back as if there was no tomorrow. But today was tomorrow.
"Thank you." 
"For what?"
His arms wrapped around her, holding her close, both of them savouring the warmth and solidity of each other's body.
"For being alive." - he whispered, leaning down to kiss her temple.
Rei laughed, happy and feeling more alive than ever, and they held each other for a moment more.

Ethan X MC. Are you going to tell me?
Summary: The whole of Edenbrook loitering by to know why Ethan Ramsey is waiting outside, grinning widely and holding a bouquet
Tumblr media
📍My MC’s Dr Lin Lee
“Now, that’s a sight I thought I’d never see…” Dr Harper Emery shook her head, a smile touching a corner of her lips. She simply nodded at Ethan Ramsey through the glass doors and hurried on to a board meeting.
And yet there he was, standing outside the hospital a step right from the sliding doors.
Holding some papers under his arm and a bouquet of flowers in the other.
Spooking a few more residents who knew him too well.
Because he was grinning like a complete idiot.
“Psst, Lin.”
She was almost leaving, just handed in the last files at the nurses' station, when the hushed whispers came. Round the corner, Jackie beckoned for Lin to come closer as Sienna also poked her head out from the same spot.
Lin raised her eyebrows, at that Jackie pointed to the sliding doors, a bit more to the right of those to be exact. Sienna muffled a giggle.
“Any idea what’s that about?” Mouthed Jackie, yet her smirk suggested otherwise. Which meant it wasn’t exactly a question, that is.
Lin mocked a frown but couldn’t keep the expression from slipping into a smile.
“I’ll tell you after I tell Ethan,” Lin shouted in a hushed whisper and put her finger to her lips. A few seconds later with the corner of her eye she did notice Jackie nudge Sienna just as Lin walked through the sliding doors.
“Do you think what I think it is?” echoed the muffled giggles.
“Uh,” Lin sighed to herself. “I think everyone already thinks what they think it is.”
She stopped a step away from Ethan and looked up.
“Is that for me?” she pointed at the bouquet but her eyes went to the files under his arm instead.
Ethan kissed her on the lips as he handed the bouquet. Just a quick perk, nothing more. The sweet taste left tingling on her lips.
“You already know, don’t you?” Lin pulled on a smile and tried to hide the disappointment in her voice.
“Came to pick you up too early,” he leaned in closer and smiled sheepishly. “Ran into Dr Doe, she asked me to hand you these.” Ethan took the files in his hands, the impossibly goofy grin returning to his lips.
As Lin reached out to take the files, he snorted and snatched those from under her nose, then raised above his head.
“Hey, that’s not fair!” Lin raised herself on tiptoes and clasped the fabric of his shirt to keep her balance. “You’re a head taller than me!”
Ethan said nothing but for grinning even wider. She struggled to get the files several times before giving up.
“Aren’t you going to tell me?”
Lin blinked.
“… you already know,” she pointed out as a matter of fact while hiding her flushed face in the flowers.
“But you wanted to tell me, didn’t you?”
She looked up. His intense gaze found her eyes, piercing, burning and… so sincere.
“Well, I did want to tell you,” she admitted in a whisper.
“Go ahead. I don’t know anything.”
“You do–“
“No.” He leaned in and quickly kissed her temple.
A strand of hair slipped from her messy bun and onto her forehead. Lin blew on it by habit, only for the hair to land into her eye instead. She heard Ethan chuckle, his fingers brushed her skin as he tucked the hair behind her ear. And looked into her eyes again, clearly prompting for her to speak.
Lin bit her lip instead.
“So,” Ethan drawled and paused. He was giving her time to cut in yet she stayed silent and blushed. “Aren’t you going to tell me what’s in the folder, Dr Ramsey?”
Lin sighed and looked up at her husband who was now grinning even wider if that was even possible.
“I’m pregnant,” she mumbled.
“Didn’t catch that.”
“Ethan!”
He laughed and dodged the light punch aimed at his arm. Lin groaned and waved her arms around. By the time they had attracted quite an audience, she felt their eyes on her although many did try to play it casual. Like accidentally dropping car keys to loiter in the parking lot, on staying behind the nearby lamppost.
Lin breathed in sharply and this time said it clear.
“I am a month pregnant.” Her voice was only loud enough for Ethan to hear. Maybe also Innes who was so not suspiciously lurking right on the other side of the sliding doors but still.
Ethan laughed and scooped her up into his arms. Lin yelped in surprise and wriggled to get free but he gently tightened his hold around her waist.
“Put me down! I said put me down!” She shrieked.
It was that moment some oblivious patient walked into the scene.
“Yes, unhand the woman, she clearly wants nothing to do with you,” grumbled the old man and shook his walking cane. “Or I’m calling the police.”
At that, Ethan laughed even louder and shook his head.
“Actually, I’m his wife,” said Lin and yet slapped Ethan on the shoulder. “And he knows how scared I get every time he does that!” She complained. “But still does that!”
“We’re having a baby!” Ethan beamed at the older man, then glanced around and shouted, “We’re having a baby. We’re having a baby, everyone!”
Over their colleagues cheering and Lin protesting, neither heard the old man before he limped closer.
“If she’s pregnant, you should really put your wife down,” he huffed and stomped his cane just almost missing Ethan’s foot. “You should take care of her health.”
“I’m a doctor, I know better!” Ethan snapped back.
Lin burst out laughing.

Band Wars
Tumblr media
Note: Due to recent events and the rampant uprising of plagiarism on this site and others I am stating once and once only that this is my ORIGINAL work. If I find out that you have stolen/taken any part of my work I will handle you and the situation the way I see fit.
Any gif or pic I use is credited to the original owner
Length: 2,279 Words
Genre: Comedy and Angst
When Big Hit first announced that they’d finally be debuting a girl group everyone was excited. Bang Si Hyuk held multiple press conferences to discuss his secret girl group that he’d been training for 7 years. Not much was given away as he wanted to surprise the world. One by one teaser images were released and people began recognizing the girls from a few Big Hit trainee projects. Big Hit were applauded for the diversity of their group, leading the girls to have one of the most talked about debuts ever. LOTUS was here and they were taking the kpop industry by storm.
*6 months after debut*
“Again!” Sienna commanded. The rest of LOTUS obeyed as the girls ran through their choreography for what felt like the 100th time that day.
“Aish! We’re exhausted. Let’s just go back to the dorms get some rest and we can come back later,” Yeona said before taking a long sip from her water bottle.
“She’s right. We keep messing up the simplest moves because we’re running on little to no sleep. We need rest,” Areum said.
“We have to practice until we get it right. Our showcase is in one week. I’ll be damned if we go on stage looking a hot fucking mess,” Sienna argued.
“I know but look at us, we’re a mess. We need a break and I know you’re the leader but I’m older and I say we are going home. So let’s call it a day cuz I’m starving,” Areum said already packed and ready to go.
“Fine but I’m going to the gym upstairs. I’m too annoyed to do anything else,” Sienna said. She grabbed her bags to leave giving her group members a faint smile before disappearing into the hallway.
“Is she okay? She seems more on edge than normal lately,” Yeona asked, packing up her things.
“Well I heard from Yoongi that Namjoon broke off that little fling he and Sienna had and she is bitter as fuck,” Ximena said.
“Jesus what is with you and Yoongi? Yall fucking or some shit?” Tasia asked.
“Hell no! He and I just love to talk shit so he always gives me the rundown on things. Okay and maybe he let me sit on his face once but it was just that one time. Plus if I was gonna fuck anyone it’d be Jimin. That’s my baby right there,” Ximena said.
“Bitch you nasty but shid if Min Yoongi told me to sit on his face I’d do it to,” Tasia said, laughing with her bandmates.
“Alright can we go now? I really need some food and a shower,” Yeona whined.
“Okay okay let’s go before she falls out,” Areum said, leading the girls to the dorm elevators.
*Upstairs gym 1 hour later*
“Oh my god why did I come here?” Sienna mumbled as she finished her intense workout. As she blindly reached out for a towel to wipe her sweat she felt hands run up her sides. She jumped and nearly fell over. Areum was laughing her ass off at the fact that she succeeded in scaring her.
“What the hell Areum?” Sienna yelled.
“Oh stop being a baby. You done working out?” Areum asked.
“Yeah. I’m fucking starving though. What did you guys order?” Sienna asked.
“We got pizza and some junk food. Might as well pig out tonight after all the work we put in today,” Areum said.
“That’s shitty logic and makes zero sense but I don’t give a fuck so let’s go,” Sienna said. The girls left the gym and on their way back they were stopped by Bang PD.
“Sienna can I speak with you for a moment?” Bang PD said.
“Yes sir,” Sienna replied. Areum looked on as Sienna walked into his office and closed the door behind her.
“Sienna, I assume you’re familiar with the show After School Club?” Bang PD asked.
“Yes I am. If you don’t mind me asking, but are you finally gonna let us go on the show? Sienna said excitedly. Bang PG laughed at her eagerness and nodded his head.
“Yaaaaay! I’m sorry sir I’m just really happy! We’ve always wanted to go on ASC,” Sienna said. She was jumping up and down so much that he had to steady her shoulders to keep her grounded.
“I can see that but I must warn you that the episode you’re gonna be featured on will also include GOT7. Now I know you’ve had issues with Jaebum since your debut but I need you to be on your best behavior. Don’t let him get to you,” Bang PD said.
“Okay with all do respect sir, I don’t have any issues with Jaebum at all. If anything he’s the one witht the issue…but I promise I’ll do my best,” Sienna said.
“On the up chance that he does insult you, just please don’t cause a national crisis. Now please go and relay the news to the other girls,” Bang PD said.
“Okay. Thank you for the opportunity,” Sienna bowed and exited his office. She stormed to the elevators trying to calm her nerves but to no avail. Once she’d gotten to her group’s dorm she smelled the pizza and almost threw up.
“Wooooah you look like shit. What’s wrong?” Ximena asked. Sienna struggled to gather her thoughts.
“Umm we finally got our wish I guess,” She stated taking a seat next to Yeona on the couch.
“What do you mean?” Areum asked taking a seat on the floor grabbing another slice of pizza.
“I mean we’re going on ASC. Bang PD just told me,” Sienna said. The other girls began screaming and celebrating but quickly stopped when they saw that Sienna was still seated with an annoyed expression on her face.
“Okay why the hell do you look like you were punched in the gut?” Tasia asked.
“Our episode also includes GOT7,” Sienna said. She sat back against the couch and groaned.
“Wow. Uhh okay. It won’t be that bad. I mean the rest of the boys are fine,” Areum said.
“Yeah it’s just JB. We got your back so don’t stress over this,” Yeona said.
“It’s not okay though. I don’t appreciate that wack ass shit he said about me. The sad part is that I admired him and in all our interviews after we debuted I spoke highly of him and he just shitted on me,” Sienna said holding back tears. Tasia sat next to her and held her, attempting to soothe her. Ximena, Yeona, and Areum joined them and hugged both girls. Though they were all women of color, the others girls knew that it was hard for Sienna and Tasia to live in a country where the white skin, skinny, porcelain doll beauty standard was ideal. Areum thought back to the time she saw Sienna purging herself in order to fit more with the other, slimmer trainees. It broke her heart sometimes when she saw the hate her bandmates received. Ximena is Latina but she knew damn well that she and her complexion were more eagerly embraced than that of her black bandmates. The girls don’t know how long they were sat like that but they were startled by the ringing of their doorbell. Yeona ran to get it and was annoyed immediately. Mark, Yugyeom, Jackson and a visibly irritated JB stood at their door, shivering from the cold.
“Hey Mark, Yugyeom, Jackson……..JB,” Yeona greeted. It was no secret that the ladies of LOTUS couldn’t stand JB but they were at least cordial with him seeing as BTS and GOT7 collab a lot and are really good friends.
“That’s JB oppa to you sweetie,” JB said, giving her a smirk.
“You fucking wish asshole. Why are yall here anyway?” Yeona asked.
“Well we going to a gaming cafe to play some games and you guys’ dorm is on the way so we decided to come stop by and say hello but you have a shitty attitude,” Jackson said. Yeona narrowed her eyes and looked away from him.
“Whatever, come on in,” Yeona said opening the door wide enough for them to walk through. She soon walked away and vanished into her room.
“Hey ladies!” Jackson yelled. One by one the girls greeted Jackson then waved at the others. However, JB lingered near the door and when he looked up his eyes locked with Sienna’s bloodshot ones. Jackson saw Sienna and immediately knew why she was upset having texted her a few days prior.
“Hey Jackson,” Sienna said. Jackson hugged her back, hands skimming her ass a bit.
“Well I see you been eating right. Your ass is getting fatter,” Jackson said.
“Jesus Jackson!” Sienna whacked him hard on the arm causing them both to burst out laughing. He was happy to see her smiling.
“Boy could you be anymore thirsty?” Tasia said.
“Why? You jealous? You know you fine too,” Jackson teased. Tasia smirked at him then went over to talk to Jinyoung, who was a little to happy to see her.
“So how have yall been? I feel like we haven’t seen you ladies in a minute,” Mark said.
“We’re working on a few projects and some new music. We’ve also got a showcase next week and Little Miss Drill Sergeant has been running us into the ground with practices and shit,” a disgruntled Ximena said.
“She’s a perfectionist. What do you expect?” Mark says glancing over at Sienna talking with Jackson. His jaw clenched a bit but averted his eyes quickly hoping no one noticed. Ximena left to talk to Yugyeom, leaving Areum with Mark.
“So are you ever going to tell Sienna that you want her to have your babies?” Areum asked. Mark looked at her with wide eyes and almost choked.
“What….how….,” Mark stumbled.
“Look we all know you like her. Even she knows and she lowkey likes you too. After that shit with Namjoon she really just wants to focus on the music and not deal with a man. My advice to you is to continue to be her friend and maybe one day when yall are drunk off your asses she’ll fuck the shit out of you,” Areum said. She got up and left a stunned Mark sitting on the couch. Nearby sitting on a stool JB heard the entire conversation. He became a bit more agitated. If only everyone knew the truth.
“Well this has been fun but we have to go. I only reserved a private room for an hour,” JB said. As he walked to the door he looks at Sienna who was hugging Mark goodbye.
“Call me tonight okay? You too Jackson!” Sienna said.
“Of course. We’ll make it a three way,” Jackson said.
“Omg get out!!” Sienna laughed, pushing Jackson and Mark out the door. Once they were gone she grabbed a slice of pizza and plopped back down on the couch.
“I swear I need to know you’re secret. You got all these guys falling all over you and shit. First Namjoon, now Jackson and Mark. Oh and let’s not forget that one year during our trainee days when you and JB dated,” Ximena stated.
“XIMENA! THEY DON’T KNOW ABOUT JB!” Sienna yelled.
“Ohhhh….oops,” Ximena said.
“You dated JB for a whole year? How did yall not get caught? I mean I know we don’t have a dating ban but he did at the time,” Tasia said.
“I know. That’s why I broke it off. I just got tired of sneaking around. I was a trainee and I wanted to debut so bad so I focused on myself and the group. He didn’t like that so I stopped talking to him. I was harsh of me at the time but I thought I was doing what was best for me,” Sienna said.
“Okaaaay but how the hell did Namjoon come into the mix?” Areum asked.
“He and Jackson knew about JB and I and when they found out we broke up they invited me out and we got super drunk. Long story short Jackson passed out and Namjoon slept together that night,” Sienna replied.
“Wow, quite the triangle you have there,” Ximena said.
“Yeah and it got even more complicated once Namjoon and I started sleeping together more often. Feelings got involved but then Bang PD found out and told us to break up. He didn’t want the relationship to affect our debut and BTS’s comeback. I agreed to end it and he fought for us to stay together. I still feel bad that I just walked away from him but what can I do? It’s too late now anyway,” Sienna said.
“…..And Mark?” Tasia asked.
“Mark and I will have to remain friends. I can’t be known in the industry as a homie hopper. That shit ain’t cute besides, I much rather flirt with him cuz it’s funny as hell. Now can we drop this? I’m hungry and the new season of How to Get Away with Murder is on netflix and I’m in the mood for a binge,” Sienna whined.
“Fine, I’ll get the wine and some more snacks and we can binge watch your show,” Areum said, disappearing into the kitchen.
“I really love you guys,” Sienna said. Areum returned quickly with 4 glasses and a bottle of red wine. She poured the wine then gave each girl a glass.
“We love you too even though you’re a little whore,” Ximena said. Sienna nearly choked on her wine as she laughed. The others soon joined in and their girls night was officially underway. They had no idea shit was about to hit the fan and hit it hard.
