Marcus frowned slightly. "Maybe there is, but this is how Lisa does it. It works for her, and it works for the club. If you want to make a difference here, you need to find your own way to stand out. Your own way to draw the crowd and keep them coming back."
Jisoo opened her mouth to argue but then closed it again. "Whatever."
Marcus nodded. "For now, take some time to think about how you can contribute. We'll talk again soon." He turned and walked away, leaving Jisoo standing there, deep in thought.
As Jisoo watched, Lalisa continued her provocative performance. "Alright, challenge accepted."
Jisoo discreetly pulled out her phone and started recording. She captured the moves, the intricate body paint, and the words emblazoned across Lisa's skin. She knew this could stir a conversation and she intended to use it to her advantage.
After recording, she found a quiet corner and quickly edited the footage, censoring parts that were too explicit and hiding Lisa's face. She posted the video on her Instagram and Twitter with the caption, "Empowerment or Exploitation? #NightlifeDebate #ClubCulture."
Within minutes, comments started pouring in. Some praised Lalisa's confidence and empowerment, while others condemned the act as degrading and sexist. The post was quickly gaining attention, stirring a heated debate.
Jisoo smirked as she watched the engagement skyrocket. This was just the beginning of her strategy for her social impressions were up by 33% in a matter of mere minutes.
As she walked back to her apartment, her phone buzzed with notifications. She glanced at the screen, seeing the views and comments multiplying. Within minutes, Elle, Brit, Jennifer, and Roseanne spammed her with comments and tagged it to their accounts and the club.
Meanwhile, back in the club, Jungkook and Namjoon had a number of drinks as they discussed their drinks. He grabbed his phone from the bench and unlocked it, intending to check his messages. As he scrolled through his notifications, a particular one caught his eye when Elle seemed to repost something.
Jisoo's latest post was blowing up on social media. Curious, he tapped on it and watched as her video played. She had captured Lalisa's performance, posted a poll questioning it, and the engagement was off the charts.
Thousands of likes, comments, and shares flooded in. Netizens were debating passionately, with some praising the performance and others echoing about the objectification of women. Jungkook couldn't help but be impressed. Her followers were clearly captivated. The post had gone viral in a matter of hours.
He scrolled through the comments, when another notification popped up. This time, it was a video posted by a fan. Jungkook clicked on it and his eyes widened slightly. The video was taken at the club just a few minutes ago, and in the background, he could see himself and his fellow BTS members. They were clearly visible, laughing and enjoying the performance.
"sh*t," Jungkook cursed under his breath. He hadn't expected to be recognized, let alone filmed. The video was spreading rapidly, and he knew it wouldn't be long before it became a major topic of discussion. He could see fans rapidly commenting; some f*ckers even started to ship the dancer and him together and claimed it was his "girlfriend."
He glared at Jisoo's post, frustrated. She had inadvertently exposed him and his bandmates to a level of scrutiny they hadn't anticipated and were definitely not prepared for. His phone buzzed with messages from his manager, his brother, his sister, and other members, all expressing their concern about the situation.
"Jisoo," he muttered darkly, his jaw clenching. He knew she hadn't intended for this to happen, but it didn't make the fallout any less frustrating. The night was supposed to be relaxing, and now it was turning into a PR nightmare, and it didn't stop him from raging at her as he got up, determined to find and deal with her. "Kim Jisoo, you little bitch, you're dead."

Vas happenin?
I hope you guys liked it. I wanted to portray an extent of realism and imperfections in these characters, so you might find Jisoo a bit off or Jungkook a certain way. We have time before we get to the jucier parts, and this book is not meant to defame any idol, it's a work of fiction and an au. I hope you look forward to the future chapters.
