American Hustle Life Episode 6

Walking out to the pool, Jennie finds Jungkook stacking floaties, on top of each other, and slowly getting on top of them.

“I really wanna push you off that.” Jennie kneels at the edge of the poolside, where he tries to hold his balance.

Alarmed, Jungkook grabs her hand when she attempts to push him. “Jennie, don’t you dare!”

In a fit of laughs, she tries to pull away, but he wouldn’t let her. She shrieks when his strong hand pulls her to him, making her land on top of the mat. Luckily for her, she stayed on with him and didn’t fall off. Only her legs got wet.

“Now, you’re stuck with me. Maybe I should push you off.” He teases with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

“Hardy har har...”

As they float around, she started to enjoy it. “This is fun! How are we not falling off, right now?”

“Beats me. Just don’t push me off! You’ll regret it!”

“Don’t push ME off.”

“Hm…I’ll think about it.”

“Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah! Yah, stop, really! Stop!” J-Hope scolds from inside, watching them in the pool.

“Jungkook! Jennie! You don’t have any extra clothes!” The stylist rushes outside, looking nervous.

Jennie
(Adults always ruin the fun~. Let us live a little. It’s just water.)

Safely out of the pool without getting anything else wet, Jennie heads over to Jewel, to chat with her. While they talked, Jungkook and V with a pair of green sunglasses, approaches them.

After putting Jewel’s sunglasses back on her eyes, V smiles. “Your sunglasses, I borrowed them.”

“Better?” Jewel asks while posing for him. Turning to the camera, that Jungkook was holding, she blows a kiss. “You guys having fun?”

“Oh, my God!” Jungkook shouts in a nervous voice and starts backing away. Taken aback by his sudden mood change, Jennie covers her mouth as she tries to not to laugh at his freak out.

“Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.”

‘Little Jungkook running away because he’s shy’


“HAHAHAH! He’s so shy!” Jennie looks on.

“Hehehe, is he like that with you, too?” Jewel asks.

“Actually, not really. I think he’s stunned by your beauty. That’s probably it.”

“Aw. I bet he’s stunned by your beauty.”

“Nah~. It’s you.”



When Jennie walks back over to the blue chairs, Jimin and Jin hastily approach her, with Jungkook right behind them.

“Jennie, did you allow that guy to kiss you?” Jimin asks out of nowhere.

Shooting him a “Where did this come from!?” facial expression, she shouts, “Huh!?”

“Did he do anything else?” Jin adds, in a serious voice as he crosses his arms.

“Do you like him?” Jungkook speaks up.

“Do you think he’s cute?” Jimin pesters. “Does he think YOU’RE cute?”

“Has he asked you out? I want answers!” Jin demands.

“Are you two dating?” Jimin exclaims. “Are you dating!?”

“Do you like him?” Jungkook presses on.

“Is there something going on? You always smile so hard for him.” Jimin points out. “You like him, don’t you? Why did you cheat on me?”

Eyes widened, she sputters, “Ch-cheat on you? I wasn’t aware that we were dating! When? Where?!”

“Yes, we are dating! We’ve been dating since I told ARMYs that JenMin is real! You broke my heart. How could you?” He holds her hands and gets close. “I thought we had something special, my Jennie! I cannot withstand this heartache! I shall get my revenge!”

“Hyung!” Jungkook grabs him away from her.

“Jennie, did he ask you permission to kiss you?” Jin pesters. “Does Jin need to have a talk with the young man?”

Rubbing her temples as she watches them bicker, she attempts to calm them down. “Oh my God! We’re just filming! Jeesh. Nothing is going on. We’re just acting for the camera! If you think we’re dating, then it looks like we’re doing a good job, acting!”

“Good. Very good. I’m glad we cleared that up.” Jimin utters with a sigh of relief. “Because someone was freaking out.”

“Yeah, someone that’s you. Jimin, everything is fine.”

“Where’d you meet him?”

“They dropped me off at the skate park. I approached him, we talked about skateboarding. He showed me the basics to ride the-”

“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! He showed you what?”

“Yes, I thought I heard that, too. He showed you what?” Jin questions.

“What’s that, Suga? I’m coming!” She calls out and runs inside.

“Wait, Suga didn’t call for you! Jennie! Get back here! We’re not done!” Jimin goes after her.

Jungkook, high on his tail, he shouts, “Hyung! Leave her alone!”

“Leave my daughter alone!” Jin goes after the boys.

After the filming is over, Warren G announced Team Step Up as the winners, commenting how J-Hope stood out the most.

‘The next day’

‘The same time at their dorm while the other teams are meeting up with their masters’

Tony arrives to see V and Suga playing a basketball video game while Jen & Jungkook also sitting on the couch.

“Yo, yo, yo, what up! What up!” Tony greets as Nate also arrives at the place.

“Tony!” She stands up and hugs him.

“What’s up, girl?”

“Just chillin.”

“What are ya’ll doin’ man?” Tony looks at the guys continuing to play the video game.

Suga points to the screen. “NBA!”

“Come on, press pause. Pause the game, pause the game.” Tony demands while Nate blocks to TV.

“Everybody else is out there with their tutors making things happen. And what ya’ll doin?” Nate asks.

“We gotta find y’all a tutor.”

“We gonna give y’all some hints.”

“Your R&B tutor.” Tony hands them a card.

“Find the master of R&B.” Suga Reads. “Okay, the first keyword is white house.”

“Besides Jennie, y’all know what the white house is, right?” Nate asks

“The place where Obama is living in.” V answers with his boxy grin.

“The second keyword is sister act 2.”

“SISTER ACT!?” Jennie jumps up from her seat. “That movie is a classic!”

“Exactly. It’s an old movie. From the 90s.” Tony mentions. Shifting his eyes to the guys, he asks, “You ever heard of Whoopi Goldberg?”

“She has no eyebrows. Dreads?” Jennie speaks up and they still didn’t know.

Once Tony shows them a picture of her on the iPad, they finally remember. “I know! I know!” Suga shouts.

“Hyung, you know who Goldberg is right?”

“GOLDBERG!” Suga and V stand up and pose

Face palming, Jen murmurs, “Let’s not go WWE in the dorm, please.”

“When did this movie come out?” Suga reads. “1993! It’s a movie that came out when I was born?”

“Yep!” She nods. “Joyful, joyful Lord! We adore thy!” She starts singing and clapping in her seat.

After watching some sister act videos, the look up the last hint, Iris Flower.

“Iris Stevenson or something?” Tony looks on. “It’s a name.”

‘Sister Act 2 is based on a true story of Iris Stevenson, where Whoopi Goldberg took her role in the movie. She also worked alongside with Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston’


“Gospel.” V looks on

“So, in Sister Act 2, Iris was the actual person of the main character?” Suga asks.

‘Is she that tremendous of a person?’


Jennie
(To be able to meet and work with Iris Stevenson…I’m so grateful for this opportunity! Gospel! I’m about to go to church!)

Arriving at the place where they’ll be meeting Iris, Team Trouble and Team Fierce find her playing the piano and singing with a small choir.

“Hey, heeeey!” Iris happily greets.

“Iris?” Jungkook asks

“Yes.” She beams

Grinning, Jen excitedly says, “Oh my gosh.”

“I’m the one that’s happy to see you! Nice to meet you.”

“Ah, nice to meet you.” V shakes hands with her.

“You are so amazing, this is an honor, thank you for having us.” Jennie grabs on to her hands and shakes them

“Thank you, sweetheart.”

“I searched up a lot about you, Iris teacher, by looking you up. So, there were so many things that we wanted to ask you.” Suga mentions to her.

“Awwww, I’m happy, I’m happy. Thank you.”

Jennie
(She’s so filled with joy. I love her bright attitude. It’s infectious!)

“One question, are you, perhaps the actual character from the movie Sister Act 2?” V asks

“Yes. I’m very happy to have been the inspiration for Sister Act 2.”

“Wow~”

“You’ve taught those students like in the movies. With what heart, did you teach them?” Jungkook asks

“I love students. I love kids, I love young people. Everywhere. I want to hear you sing. Jungkook. I want to hear you sing.” Iris turns her attention to him.

Jungkook decides to sing Jason Derulo’s Marry Me and then Iris guides him to hit the high note.

Jungkook
(Honestly, when I was a trainee, I liked singing but since the teacher kept telling me to practice, I didn’t want to sing. I just wanted to sing however I wanted to. So, I just thought to myself, ‘I should keep on practicing by just being consistent with this feel’.)

Next up was V and he decides to sing Michael Buble’s Home.

‘When it comes to singing, this guy is serious’

‘It seems like Iris also fell for V’s voice’

He gets an applause while Iris ohs. “Soulful.”

“Thank you.” He grins.

“I like that. What I like, you have my attention. I want to hear more. I like what I hear.” She compliments

V
(Ah, I felt so sorry, my throat wasn’t in good condition. And I felt bad that I couldn’t show her everything I got…to her.)

“Jennifer. It’s your turn. I want to hear you sing.” Iris gestures with a smile, waiting patiently for her to begin.

“Okay.” She clears her throat and takes a deep breath, deciding to sing If I ain’t got you by Alicia Keys.

“Hm…hm hm.” She starts humming softly.

Some people live for the fortune…
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
And I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial

Some people want it all!
But I don't! Want nothing at all!


Iris starts nodding her head, watching her sing. She sung smoothly despite being nervous in the beginning.

If it ain't you, baby
If I ain't got you, baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah


“Wow. Beautiful. I like your voice. It suits the R&B style.”

“Really? Thank you so much!”

“We’ll work on your voice being shaky in the beginning. Don’t be so nervous. And sing out more.”

After more constructive criticism what she should work on, Iris performs Oh Happy Day, making everyone jam out.

“Oh, happy day!” She sings. “If you love the Lord say yeah!”

“YEAH!”

Jennie
(God, I missed this. She gives me so many church vibes.)

V
(Goosebumps! Goosebumps were all over my body! It’s not that she just showed us but like, let’s enjoy it together. I think I got that kind of feel.)

Suga
(I honestly enjoyed it. It’s been awhile, being able to smile that big in front of music. It’s really been awhile where I felt like I went back to my younger days.)

Jungkook
(It was touching. It was an experience that made me rethink about a lot of things.)

After watching the guys get their vocal lessons, Iris calls her over to the piano. “I want you to sing alone. Not with the guys. I have a song for you to sing.”

Stomach dropped, Jennie stammers, “A-alone?”

Jennie
(I was looking forward to singing oh happy day with the guys but she wants me to sing a different song? What can I possibly sing, solo? I’m not ready solo.)

“I want you to sing Note to God.”

Jen
(She wants me to sing…N-Note to God? THAT song!? That song is POWERFUL. Iris is giving me high expectations for this. But I don’t think my voice is strong enough.)

“Th-that’s a powerful song. How am I supposed to compete against Charice?”

“There will be no competing. Don’t think about singing the song just like the singer sung it. Make the song your own. I hear the soul in your voice. I believe you can do it. I know you can do it. Let’s get to work.”

The session went on successfully as Iris gave her pointers on not to be nervous when she starts out to sing and the first note needs to grab the audience’s attention.

“Start off softly, and work your way up, make your voice higher. But keep the passion.” Iris advises as she starts playing the piano.

If I wrote a note to God~

I’d pour my heart out on each page...
I’d ask for war to end
And for peace to mend this world...
I’d say…
I’d say…
I’d say!

Taking a quick deep breath, Jennie follows her advice, and sings out strong, adding some hand motions as she starts feeling the song.

Give us the strength to make it through

Help us find love, cause love is overdue
And it, seems like so much is going wrong
On this
Road~
We’re on…
If I wrote a note God~
I’d say, please help us find a way…

Stopping abruptly while Iris kept playing the piano, Jennie clears her throat, feeling tears sting her eyes. “S-sorry.” She turns away, trying to wipe her tears as they kept coming. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to cry.”

“No, it’s okay. You’re being real. This song is emotional. You’re feeling it.” Iris replies in a soothing voice, understanding her actions.

Jennie
(I felt like I couldn't do it. The song was just so passionate, I couldn't stop crying. How can I sing this song if I keep crying?)

Iris turns to the cameras, gathering everyone, together. “They must get this. I know, I can see them with a direction. They will have it. It doesn’t take them a long, long, time. They learn.” She snaps her fingers quickly.

Jennie
(For her to have so much faith and confidence in me, to sing a song like this has given me strength to continue practicing, to try to perfect the song. I hope I can make her proud. She’s an amazing person)

Suga
(After seeing her in person, I felt that she was a really nice person.)

Jungkook
(It was really touching to see her working for us.)

‘Next Day’


Jungkook plays around on the piano while waiting for Iris. When she comes, she happily greets the four of them. Before practicing, Iris warms them up with their vocalization.

“Do I also have to rap in that high note?” Suga asks, earning a laugh from Iris.

“Everybody clap your hands!” She shouts in a high pitched voice, joking around with him. “No, no, haha!”

When it was Jennie’s turn, Iris went over the song with her, and they focused on the ending.“The ending, it needs to leave an impact. We’re going to work on that high note.”

“We can’t do it on our own!” She sings in a steady, high voice. “So~!”

Taking a deep breath, she sings the last note, “If I wrote a note to…God~”

Iris nods. “Good, good. But I know you can take a deeper breath, to hold in that note. Keep the note, you faded out, too quickly. Let’s try it again. Breathe all the way through, and hit it. I know you can do it.”

“If I wrote a note to…God~”

As she kept the last note, longer and higher, Iris looks on, smiling widely. “Yes! Yes! I like it! That’s what I want. Beautiful! Keep that high note as high as you can!”

“Phew. That actually felt good.”

Jennie
(My high note, it still needs work. I don’t really do high notes, this is a whole new experience for me. I never used a high voice to sing before, but she’s showed me that I can do a lot with singing.)

“On the day before we leave, we’re having a concert. So, this is our invitation for you.” Suga hands her a note which had the details of their concert.

“Wow!” Iris looks at it.

“We would love to have you.” Jennie smiles.

“We will greatly show you what we learned from this lesson at the concert.” V adds.

“And I will hit the high note, just for you.”

“Excellent!” Iris smiles and gives them a hug. “Keep working. Thank you~.”

Jennie
(Miss Iris is a wonderful teacher. Her teachings will stay with me, for life.)

V
(Iris teacher is the best. She really gives us a lot of love.)

Jungkook
(She has a motherly heart and she’s a very warm person, so, while we were practicing, I was always happy and practiced hard. If there’s another chance to meet her, I definitely want to show her my singing, again.)

Back at the dorm, the members discuss their lessons they had while they all were individually scored to perform their lessons. After Jin and J-Hope beat box, and Rap Monster & Jimin show off their B-Boying, Team R&B showcased their singing.

At the end, the guys decide to give them a 90 and 40, laughing that they were in last place. Not amused, Team R&B stand there in disapproval.

Jennie
(A 40? We did way better than a 40! No fair!)

“Namjoonie hyung was going to give you guys close to 100 points but I erased that and gave you 40.” Jimin confesses with a sheepish smile.

“Oh, really...?” She lets out a dry laugh.

“Yeah. Sorry. My team can’t lose!” He giggles.

“Oh, you’re sorry? Sorry, huh? I’ll show you, sorry!” She attempts to lunge at him.

Her sudden movement made him flinch but he giggles louder when he sees Jungkook’s arms around her waist, holding her back while V laughs. “Sorry, Ennie~” He teases.

“You guys suck, for doing that!” She accuses. “We were fair for you!”

Standing up, Jimin skips around, adding fuel to the fire. Escaping his arms, Jennie snatches him by the arm, pulling him in for a tight headlock. Loud cheers and laughs were heard from those around her while Jimin begs for mercy.

“I’m sorry, what? What was that? I can’t quite hear you.” She teases over his pleas.

After they settle down, it turns out that Team R&B were declared the winners after fair judgement and Jimin’s team were the losers.

“The winner of this competition gets to smash the loser, in the face.” Nate presents a can of whipped cream and paper plates.

Jennie
(Oh…Oh yes…prepare thyself chim chim.)

“DIBS! I wanna do it to Jimin!” Jennie raises her hand while Jungkook starts spraying the whipped cream on the plate.

“That’s too much! Hey, hey!” Jimin tries to stop them

“Wanna do it together?” Jennie turns to Jungkook and he nods, with a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Let’s do this.” She chuckles evilly.

Jimin gets on his knees, while Jungkook and Jennie kneel in front of him.

“3!”
“2!”
“1!”

Both teens smash the plate in Jimin’s face. Adding insult to injury, Jennie smears the plate all over his face.

“Yeah~” Jungkook high fives her while Jin laughs out loud,

Next up was V who prepares to smear the plate of whipped cream in his face.

“3!”
“2!”
“1!”

V stops half way, and out of curiosity, Rapmon opens his eyes. Caught off guard, his face meets the plate full whipped cream.

Jumping up and down, making a mess as whipped cream splatters on the floor, Rapmon shouts, “I’m going to kill, you all! AHHWAHHHH!”
