Just before dance practice was over, the members took one last break before they prepared to record a Bangtan Bomb of their hyped up version of War of Hormone.

Sitting against the wall, Jen casually scrolled through her Instagram. Ever since the music video for War of Hormone dropped, critics had said that this BTS era showed off more of Jen’s improved stage presence. Throughout her notifications, she would see people tag her Instagram name, showing others that she was the girl who strutted herself on stage.

‘Who is this girl? What group is she in? She’s American? She’s cool, I wanna see more of her'
They would ask as fans of BTS would answer eagerly.

She was delighted to see that her hard worked had been paying off for this era. She plans to keep up the great work and improve with each comeback.

Setting her phone down, she and the rest of the members get in formation for the song as Namjoon stands in the middle. As the first beats of the song blares out around the room, Namjoon twitches before jumping up in the air, flashing his stomach.

‘Yep, I can tell this is gonna be a mess. Might as well be a mess with them.’ She considers with a short laugh. Let’s see if she can be on their level of goofiness.

“Hobi! Hobi~!” Hobi squeals with a broad grin on his face, getting into position with Jungkook.
When Jimin and Tae get in their positions, Jungkook punches Tae in the stomach. Tae lets out a loud, dramatic groan while Jen fought the urge to laugh at their shenanigans.

“Look over there, over there!” Yoongi shouts and points at Jennie, getting the guys’ attention.

“WHAAOOOOOOOO~”
The guys lose their minds as she walks in front of them and the camera. Flashing the camera with a derp face, Jen wiggles her eyebrows.

After the guys freak out, screaming and yelling outrageously, Namjoon starts his verse. All the members begin to perform the dance, acting excessive than usual.

jonjaehae jwoseo (cham) gamsahae
jeonhwa jom haejwo naega (ham) bap salge
a yojeum michin michin geo gata gichim gichim

“AHHHHHH!” Hobi screams. His sudden scream caused Jen to slip and lose her balance for a second while in a fit of giggles. She played the fall off by spinning around, posing with her arms in the air, before getting back up to her feet.

“Aye!” Jen and Hobi yell.

“Sing it!” Jen shouts, clapping her hands together.

“Ah, you’re the best!” Hobi shouts to the camera.

yeojaga segye choegoran geot mariyeo
Yes I’m a bad boy so i like bad girl
illu wabwa baby urin jal doel geol

Rushing up to the camera, covering his eyes before revealing them with a cute grin, Tae walks back, singing his verse.

(Hello hello)
(Hello hello)
“WHAT!?” Hobi screeches.
Tell me what you want right now
“Right now!” They all shout
(Hello hello)
“WHAT!?”
(Hello hello)
“WHAT!?”

Imma give it to you girl right now

“Right now!” Hobi shouts.

nae kkeon anirajiman neon choego

“Choego!” Hobi and Jimin yell ridiculously.

ni apeseo baebae kkoineun nae mom

“Nae mom!” Tae joins Hobi and Jimin. Rushing up to the camera, Jimin puckers his lips.

While the seven boys rush up to the camera again, Jungkook continues as Jen jumps around in the background.

nan neoramyeon I’m ok

“Okay!” Hobi says with Jen as she jumps up in the air from behind.

Oh jajega andwae maeil

“YYYYYEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” Tae lets out an over-dramatic yell as a vain popped out of his neck.

Jen watches Tae with an amused, questioning expression. She looks at the camera, pointing tohim. “He dun’ lost his damn mind. What is going on?!” She questions the silliness.

“It’s the hormones, Ennie. The hormones!” Jimin answers.

“HORMONES!” She yells, throwing her arms up in the air.

aptaedo choego dwitaedo choego

Jungkook kicks Tae in the butt as they continue to dance.

La la la la la la la la la
aptaedo choego dwitaedo choego
La la la la la la la la la
meoributeo balkkeutkkaji choego choego
La la la la la la la la la

Getting him back, Tae kicks Jungkook in the butt.

La la la la la la la la la
georeumgeori hanakkaji choego choego

As the guys stay in the back, Jen walks forward, putting her hoodie over her head as she rocks side to side, looking down at the floor. “Uh! Uh! Okay!”

Looking up at the camera, she begins her verse in a third person perspective for the female ARMYs, “She knows she’s the BEST, from head to TOE!” She shouts hysterically. Jungkook and Jimin let out a laugh. “It’s completely ridiculous if you think she don’t KNOW!”

“WHAT!?” The guys shout. Jimin and Hobi start shaking Jungkook back and forth as they point at her.

Kneeling on the ground, she points to the camera. “Her hair. Her body, her waist and legs, it’s okay to stare, she knows that she looks good. Yep, she sees you starin’ hard.” Back on her feet, she jumps on one foot, like she was tripping, “Caught you off guard. She sees you droolin’, Who are you foolin’?”

“AH! AH! Back away!” Jin shouts, shoving Jungkook away from approaching her as he falls on the floor. Tae takes the opportunity to kick him while he’s down.

As her verse continued to play, Jin gets territorial, making sure the guys stay away from her. Meanwhile Jen turns to the camera and jumps on Jin’s back as he lets out a yell of surprise. She wraps her arms around his neck and hugs him tightly.

“When did I agree to this?” He exclaims as he spins her around in circles.

“Stop hogging her!” Jimin complains.

“Give her to me!” Tae adds as she gets off Jin’s back.

“Not another step!” Jin points while Jen turns back to the camera, walking forward while the guys bicker.

Oblivious to Jungkook approaching her, he bumps his hip against hers.

“Whoa!” She shouts, stumbling off to the side. Whipping her head to the side to see who bumped her, she laughs and punches him on the chest. “Not cool!”

Jungkook giggles in response as she shoves him away from her. Pointing to the camera, she sings, “And yes she’s the baddest. Yes, she’s a bad girl. But she ain’t your baby, you gotta earn that.”

Getting in position for the chorus, she sings,
“Hello hello!”
“WHAT!?” The guys yell wildly
“Hello hello!” She yells louder
“WHAT!?”
“She’ll tell you what she wants right now!”
“RIGHT NOW!”
“Hello hello!”
“WHAT!?”
“Hello hello!”
“WHAT!?”

“She ain’t givin’ it to you, right now! She’s the best and she knows it but she’s not yours. She makes your body twist and turn when you in front of her!”

Tae sneaks in a kiss on Jennie’s cheek, catching her off guard. “That’s gonna cost you smarties. My kisses aren’t free, Tae.” She teases, giggling with him.

“Ah! What is this!?” Jin grabs her away. “No touching!”

“How could you!?” Jimin shouts at Tae as all the guys gang up on him.

After their bickering, Yoongi rushes up to the camera, rapping.

eorim banpuneochi eobtji handu beonssik
nolda heeojil yeojadeuregen gwansim eobtji
geunde neol bomyeo baewo body geonchukhakgaeron

“Jungkookie is going up!” Hobi says dramatically while Yoongi is lifted up in the air.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHH~”

“GO SUGA GO!” Jen yells as she and the rest of the members jump up and down, enthusiastically. She falls on the floor as her laughter starts to hurt her stomach.

Was this even a dance practice anymore? This was just too fun. They need to have more dance practices like this.

“Hobi’s going!” Tae shouts as she gets back on her feet. Hobi starts sliding his feet, moving forward with a big grin on his face, while the rest of the members follow his movements.

As the guys make a door, Tae scoops Jen up bridal style, while Hobi jumps on his back.
“This is a mess!” She laughs.

“Let’s go~!” Hobi beams while Tae manages to walk through the human door.

geunyeoreul wihan lady first

Making his way to the camera, Hobi makes a heart with his hands, shouting, “I love you!”
(Hello hello)
“WHAT!?” Jen yells with Jimin
(Hello hello)
“WHAT!?”
Tell me what you want right now

Jin begins his traffic dance while the rest continue the chorus.

(Hello hello)
“WHAT!?”
(Hello hello)
“What!?”

Imma give it to you girl right now
nae kkeon anirajiman neon choego

“Ah, I’m tired, guys.” Hobi breathes out.

“Because of ARMYs!” Hobi makes another heart with his hands, while Jen flails her arms around.

(nugu ttaemune?)

(namjagi ttaemune?)

“We are men too!” Jimin shouts.

“Because of ARMYs!” Jimin shouts again.

yeoja ttaemune

“Because of ARMYs!” Tae adds with Jennie.

For the break dance, Hobi and Jin grab each other’s hands and jump up and down. Jimin and Namjoon do their goofy footing dance, while Jungkook and Tae grab onto each other, leaning back with Yoongi behind them.

Meanwhile, Jen decides to perform the running man dance, making her movements bigger than usual as her mouth is wide open in a big grin.

yeojaneun choegoui

Out of nowhere, Tae shoves Jimin off to the side, making him fall down. “Why!?” Jennie grabs on to Tae, shaking him.

“Yah!” Namjoon shouts, looking around at the hyped mess.

This was pure chaos!
What were they? Were they sane?

La la la la la la la la la
ap taedo choego dwi taedo choego
La la la la la la la la la

As the song ended, Jungkook kicks Tae in the butt, making him stumble on the floor. Jimin kicks him down when he tries to get up as a chorus of laughs were heard.

When the recording ended, Jen helps Taehyung back on his feet. “Best dance practice, hands down.” She mentions with a smile.

“Phew, I’m beat.” Hobi stretches and sits down on the floor.

Gathering up her things, Jen sees a Kumamon phone chain on Yoongi’s phone. “What’s that?”
“Kumamon.” He answers casually.

“Cute. That’s your favorite character?”

“Yeah. yours?”

“Hello Kitty.” She answers with a big smile.

“Hello Kitty, huh?” Yoongi nods to himself, making a mental note.

---

After taking a shower back at the dorm, Jen heads to a local dog café to meet up with Amber. Spotting her waving with a big grin on her face, Jen rushes over to her, wrapping her arms around her, for a long, friendly hug.

“You’re here! How you been, girl?” Amber speaks in English as she pulls away, gesturing her to sit down.

“I just had dance practice, so I washed up and made my way here. I’m sore, but content.” Jen responds in English as she takes a seat across from her. Looking around at the variety of dogs strolling and playing around, she smiles. “This place is so cute!”

“I knew you’d like it!”

Watching a Golden Retriever puppy approach her, Jen starts to pet it as it nuzzles her hand. “Ugh, so adorable. I want a dog, now. Can you take a picture of me?”

“Hehe, sure.” She grabs Jen’s phone while she holds the puppy in her hands, holding it close to her with a cute smile on her face.

After snapping the photo, Jen tweets it on the BTS twitter account with the caption, ‘I’m getting puppy fever! It’s so cute! I want a puppy, now!’

“Some of the members have pets and they usually live at their parents’ place. If I do get a puppy, I don’t have anywhere for it to stay if I’m on schedule and have to travel.”

“I can take care of it with you! I live alone with my dogs!”

“You don’t mind?” Jen inquires as she sets the puppy down.

“Of course not! And we gotta have sleepovers soon. Get you away from all the testosterone. I know it’s a work out, living with seven guys, hahah.”

“I’ve gotten used to it but it would be nice to hang with more females.”

“Then it’s settled. I’ll plan a sleepover for the both of us.”

“Sweet! Let me know when.”

“So, if you do get a puppy, do you have a particular breed?”

“I’d like a Jack Russel Terrier. They’re so adorable. Especially when they’re puppies.”

“Aw! I hope you get one, soon! So, how’s school?”

“The only thing I love about school is my English classes. English is my favorite subject. I’m taking Honors English.”

“Ooh, fancy. Planning on going to college?”

“I really want to. But I want to go to college in America. But since I’m here, I’m not sure what the future holds. Maybe I’ll go to college here, if I can. Who knows what BTS will become in 2017 when Jungkook and I graduate from SOPA.”

Amber nods. “I’m happy that you’re serious about your education. Continue that. What other classes are you taking?”

“Oh, you know, the requirements like history, math and so on. I’m continuing my guitar classes.”

“Ah, I knew you played an instrument. How’s that going?”

“The class is an advanced one, so it is complex. Learning about the history of the guitar and how it’s evolved. It’s fascinating to learn. I try to stay after school for extra help from the teacher. It helps.”

“Are you making friends at SOPA?”

“Hayoon is my best friend at SOPA. One of the sweetest people ever. She is such a great baker, too. Her cupcakes are A1! We gotta bake together. She’s timid and shy but if you continue to talk to her, she’ll break out of her shell. She’s currently preparing to debut in G-Friend.”

“Oh wow~! That’s great! I wish her the best.”

“I’ll be checking their debut out, giving her support. I know it’s going to be great. As for other friends, I do have some. I try to communicate with everyone and say hey, every now and then.”

“Haha, you’re so opposite from Jungkook. I heard he’s quiet and shy.”

Jen nods a couple times. “Very. He’ll come out of his shell and make close friends. I know he will. Anyone will be lucky to have a friend like him. He’s always there when you need him.”

“Such friendship goals.” The two share a laugh.

After getting their cups of hot chocolate and a variety of pastries, Amber asks, “So Jen, do you miss America?”

“Always. I always wonder what my sisters are doing on campus and how my parents are. I try my best to skype, text and call.” Letting out a long sigh, she resumes her statement. “Every time I think about my sisters, I realized how much I missed out on having a normal life. I love SOPA and all but it’s a bit overwhelming as an idol there.”

“Elaborate.”

“I want to be treated as a normal student. Treat me like any other classmate. I don’t want people to be nervous to approach me or anything, like I’m someone superior than them. I’m a normal human being. Let’s be friends, talk to me like I’m just a regular student trying to get my education, the same as you. I’m usually filmed and have pictures taken of me in class. Like dude, just say hey to me, we’ll be buddies. But I feel like all they think of me as an idol.”

“I understand what you mean, but you gotta remember that you are becoming famous. Keep in mind BTS is growing day by day. ARMYs are an impressive fan base.”

“Yeah…I guess it still hasn’t hit me. To be honest, I am anxious for the future. I hope the fame won’t overwhelm me.”

“And hopefully no sasaengs.” Amber replies in a serious tone.

Making a facial expression of horror, Jen covers her face. “Aw man, I hope not.”

“Prepare Jen Drop. It’s inevitable, unfortunately. Just be aware of your surroundings and the people around you. I don’t want you to get hurt.” She looks at her with worry. As Jen uncovers her face, Amber smiles and holds her hand, giving it a squeeze. “If anyone tries anything, let me know, so I can find where they live and kick their asses.”

Letting out a laugh, Jen and Amber share a smile. “I’ll try my best. Gosh, I really enjoy talking with you. I feel like I can express myself more in English. I’m happy that you and I get to talk in English, together.”

“Me too, girl. How do you feel about your progress in the industry?”

“I feel like I’m improving day by day. I’m thankful that I’m getting more recognition for War of Hormone.”

“Well, it’s not hard with you strutting with your sexy self on stage. When I saw the performance, I was like, ‘Yes, girl! Shake it! Shake that brass!’ Speaking of Shake that brass, I’m working on my solo album. One of the songs is called Shake that brass. I’ll be shooting the music video, soon. Would you like to be a part of it?”

Jen stares at her, astonished. She wanted her to be a part of it? Her?

“No way, really!?”

“Yeah! The more the merrier! Plus, you’ll get to meet the people I hang with! It’ll be fun~! What do ya say? Please? Please say yes! We’ll dance together and everything. The dance isn’t difficult. You’ll breeze right through it.”

“Sure!”

“Yay! I’ll keep you updated. Let me know what Big Hit says and everything. You’ll have a blast. Taeyeon is also a part of the song.”

“G-Girls Generation Taeyeon?”

“Mm Hm~” Amber nods. “She’s super nice. You two will hit it off for sure.”

“Can’t wait!”

---

For Halloween, as the members get their make up done, they get filmed for a Bangtan Bomb. Jen became Black Widow for Halloween, wearing a short red wig to go with it.

“Do I look badass, now?” She gestures to the costume, giving the fans a closer look at it. “I like it! This is sick.”

“Anything you want to say to ARMYs?”

She was asked. “Have a safe Halloween and enjoy a lot of candy!” She grabs a pack of Smarties. “Gotta have my daily dose of smarties~!” She pops one in her mouth.

“I dunno how you can eat that. There’s hardly anything sweet to it.” Yoongi approaches her, with his hair disheveled and make up resembling Chucky.

“I dunno, maybe it’s because my taste buds are better than yours.” She deadpans.

“Pssh, no the fuck it ain’t.”

“Language!” She exclaims in a scolding tone. They’ll definitely have to bleep that out when they post the video. Turning to the camera, she puts her hands up in defense, clearing her throat. “I sincerely apologize for Suga’s language to those who aren’t over the PG-14 rating.”

Stepping away from the camera, Jen takes selfies on her phone until Namjoon photo bombs her, pretending he was going to bite her.

“Well, well if it isn’t Black Widow. I wonder how your blood will taste.” He plays his vampire persona.

“The only blood you’ll be tasting is your own when I kick you into next week, pal. Now back away if you know what’s good for you.” She warns, playing along in a fearless tone.

“This isn’t over.” He goes off to his next victim, which was Jungkook.

“He looks scary.” Jungkook starts backing away, turning to the Bangtan Bomb camera as Namjoon approaches him, placing a hand on his shoulder. “Don’t come near me! Don’t come near me!”

“Aye! Back away from him.” Jennie gets involved, while Jungkook hides behind her.

“Yah! Give me the boy!” Namjoon demands.

“You’ll have to go through me, first.” She stares up at him, fearlessly.

“This should be a movie. Black Widow vs The Vampire, in theaters October 31st. Catch the sneak peek on BangtanTV.” Jimin looks on while Jen and Namjoon share a laugh.

---

After they head back to the dorm, Jen laid on top of Yoongi, as the both of them nap on the couch.

“They still sleeping??” Jimin looks on, watching them.

Recently, Yoongi and Jennie had become each other’s napping partners. He enjoyed how she was easy to sleep next to and didn’t irritate him while he slept.

“Have they even moved? It’s been an hour.” Jungkook questions as he watches them.

“Let’s mess with them.” Jimin slyly suggests with an evil giggle, rubbing his hands together.

“I’m in!” Tae answers while Jungkook and Hobi also agree.

“Your funeral.” Namjoon replies nonchalantly and goes back on his phone.

Hobi takes out his phone and begins recording as him and the Maknae line slowly make their way to sleeping pair.

“This just in, we’ve found two species. The Suga and the Jen.” Jimin commentates. “Two species who are dedicated to naps.”

“Jen’s weakness?” Hobi inquires.

“Smarties.” Jungkook answers precisely.

“Suga’s weakness?” Jimin asks.

“Unknown.” Tae answers. “What will happen when we attempt to wake them? What we will do may be dangerous. If you see a Suga and a Jen, prepare for anything.”

“Indeed. We have yet to find out what will happen if their slumber is interrupted.” Jungkook adds.

Hearing giggles and chatter, Jen frowns at the noise. Suddenly she feels a rumble from Yoongi’s chest.

“Leave us the fuck alone!”

His sudden shout made Hobi yelp in fear as he ends up dropping his phone, while Jimin grabs it to continue recording.

“MAY DAY! MAY DAY! THEY HAVE AWAKENED!” Jimin hollers.

Jen lets out a sigh of irritation because of the loud noise, murmuring to Yoongi, “You want me to hurt them?”

“Yeah. That’ll be great. As a matter of fact, I’ll join in.” He gently pushes her off him and gets off the couch. Jen stretches out her arms in the air and gets off the couch, too.

“Uh oh, they’re awake!” Jungkook shouts.

“Take cover!” Tae yells as he and the rest of the guys scatter around the living room, keeping their distance.

Turning their heads to each other, Jen asks Yoongi while putting her hair in a bun, “Who do you want to kill?”

“I’ll take Jimin and Hobi.” Yoongi responds in a dark tone, cracking his knuckles.

A loud gulp was heard from Hobi when his frightened eyes meets Yoongi’s glare. Screaming at the tip of their lungs when Yoongi begins to run after them, Hobi and Jimin jump around the furniture and into one of the bedrooms.

“Tae and Kook it is.” She dashes after them, ignoring their screams and yells. “Yeah you better run!”

“Any mess you make, you’re cleaning it up! Don’t break anything!” Jin shouts from the kitchen.

Namjoon shakes his head, putting in his earphones. Even with the earphones, he could hear crashing noises, groans of pain, screaming and yelling. “These kids…” He shakes his head, hearing the yells from the four pranksters, as well as Hobi’s loud screeching.

“I TOLD you to not mess with my napping!”
“Now you four fucked up!”
“I learned my lesson! I learned my lesson!”
“Please! Have mercy!”
“Y-Yoongi I thought we were cool!”
“Spare me! I’m innocent!”
“After all that I’ve done for you, Jennie!?”
“I’m sorry! Don’t hurt me!”
“Go away!”
“After all the we’ve been through!?”
“J-Jennie what are you doing with that pillow!?”
“Yoongi, don’t strangle him, please!”
“What are you about to do with that pillow!”
“She’s trying to suffocate him! Help Taehyung!”
“Ow! That hurt Yoongi!”
“MOMMY!”

The two of them see Hobi desperately attempting to crawl out of the room. “Please…Jin…Namjoon…help us! I beg of you-AHHHHHHH~” He screams as he’s dragged back in the room by Yoongi.

Yoongi slams the door shut as Jin and Namjoon hear Hobi scream, “No! No please! I’m sorry! It won’t happen again!”

Raising a brow at the violent noises, Jin murmurs, “Oh my...” Turning to Namjoon, he asks, “Should we be concerned?”

“Nah. They brought this on themselves. They’ll know next time.” Namjoon nonchalantly replies.

After five minutes, Yoongi and Jen get back on the couch and nap, in the living room, like nothing happened. “Should I check on them, or should you?”

Jin lets out a sigh. “I’ll get the first aid kit.”

Heading into one of the rooms, he finds the four boys, battered, groaning in pain and clutching their most aching area, like their heads and stomachs.

“Now what have we learned today?” Jin smiles. “This is what you get for playing around with the wrong people at the wrong time.”

---

When it was finally her birthday, Jen checks her blown up notifications of birthday messages from fans, which put a smile on her face.

‘You are such a great person, you make my day! I love you!’
‘Thank you for sharing your talent with us. You’re one of a kind in BTS! Thanks for showing us girls out there to stay happy and confident’
‘Munchkin~ thank you for making me smile every time I see you!’
‘Please keep being who you are! Don’t ever change for anybody!
‘Have a wonderful day!’
‘Happy birthday to this beautiful girl!’
‘Sending love from Europe!’
‘Brazil loves you!’
‘Come back to America!!’
‘Shouting out happy birthday from America! Hope you come back home soon!’
‘Stay smiling!!’
‘You always catch my attention in BTS, I will always be a fan!’
‘I want you to know how loved you are!’
‘So thankful for this girl’s existence’
‘Stay healthy and don’t overwork yourself!’
‘Huge inspiration!’
‘I’m your biggest fan!’
‘Happy birthday to my bias!’
‘Happy birthday to my bias wrecker who turns from cute to sexy in three seconds!’
‘Happy birthday to the girl with the curls representing the curls!!’
‘My baby!!’
‘So happy with how far you’ve come!’
‘She’s really growing up. I’m so proud of her!’

It was positive messages like that, that given her a boost of confidence and happiness to continue to work hard. Heading out of her room, she was greeted by the guys helping Jin create a special birthday breakfast for her, blueberry pancakes.

As soon as they see her, they shout ‘Happy Birthday’ and mob her with hugs as she laughs.
“Thanks, guys!”

“A chair for the birthday girl.” Namjoon pulls out the chair as she sits down.

After the birthday breakfast, Jimin points to the front door when they hear the doorbell ring. “I wonder who could that be!” He makes his way to the door. When he opens it, a Hello Kitty mascot skips inside.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!” The guys shout, getting hyped out while Jennie widens her eyes, looking stunned. The mascot starts dancing around as she starts to laugh, standing up to hug Hello Kitty.

“All right, whose idea was this?” Jen asks with amazement as she looks on at the cuteness.

“I told the guys how much you like Hello Kitty. So, we planned this. Also, got you some Hello Kitty merch.” Yoongi reveals, pointing to the gifts in the living room.

“You guys are really something else, you know that? Thank you, this is perfect.” She beams.

Dancing around with Hello Kitty and taking photos with her, Jen and the rest of the members had a great morning.

---

Later, in the afternoon, Namjoon knocks on her door. After waiting a few moments, Jen opens her door to have an envelope greet her face.

“One last gift.” Namjoon smiles.

“What’s this?” She takes it.

“Open it and see.”

Gesturing for him to come into her room, they sit on her bed as he anticipates her reactions. As soon as she opens it, she sees plane tickets. Her stomach drops when she sees the destination.

LA.

Snapping her head up at him, she grabs on to him. “LA!?”

“There’s a note. Check it out.” He lets out a chuckle.

‘I told your ass that you would be coming to me in America, or I would come see you in Korea! Pack your bags, girl! You’re invited to my album party! I missed you! Can’t wait to see ya!’- Angelina :P

Tears began to form in her eyes as she wipes them away.

“I know you miss her. She misses you too. Go see her. I know it’ll boost your spirits.” He mentions.

“How’d you know I was feeling bummed?”

“I’m the leader, I notice things. You can always talk to me, you know that right? Anything that’s on your mind. I’m here. Just call me and I’ll be there.”

“Thank you.” She hugs him tight.

“Get ready, I’ll come with you to the airport.”

“Okay!”

They both get off her bed as Namjoon heads to her door. Turning back around to face her, he speaks up, “One more thing. Can you…can you tell Angelina that I like her rapping? Her flow speed and flow is incredible.” He looks to the ground. “I’d like to collab with her, if she cool with it.”

“Hand me your phone.”
He heard her demand and takes it out his pocket. After watching her type in things, she hands it back.

“Tell her yourself.” She adds with a soft tone.

Looking back down at his phone, his eyes widen at the fact that Jennie keyed in Angelina’s number on his phone. “I-I dunno what to say.”

“You can start by, hey, this is Rap Monster. Jennie gave me your number. I think your rapping is dope, would you like to collab?’ Or something of that nature. You’ll figure out something.”
Rubbing the back of his neck, he shyly replies, “Ah, I dunno...”

“Trust me, she’ll be happy to see that you hit her up. She thinks, and I quote, you’re sexy, anyway.”

His interest increased at her sudden statement. “Oh really?” He starts to grin to himself, raising a brow. “What else did she say?”

Amused at his mood change, she shakes her head. “You can find that on your own, buddy. You’re the one who has her number.”

“S-so do you!”

“Goodbye, Namjoon. Let me pack.” She pushes him out her room.

After packing up, she continues to look around in the kitchen for her stash of smarties. “Hey, Namjoon? Have you seen my bag of smarties? It was in the cabinet. The jumbo ones.”

“About that…” Namjoon rubs the back of his neck, grinning sheepishly. “I tried a couple and they weren’t that bad. I moved them, though.”

Rolling her eyes, Jen shrugs. “Of course, you did. Where are they?”

“Currently in my stomach as we speak.”

Dropping her amused smile, she drops her jaw. “You ate all my smarties!?”

“N-now listen-“

“Why!?”

“I-”

“Why!?”

“I’ll buy you some more!”

“Oh, my gosh, what am I gonna snack on, during the plane ride?”
“When you go to America, you can buy all the smarties you want?” He chuckles hesitantly.
“I’m so over you.”

---

After the anticipated plane ride, Jen arrives in LA with her agent, Diana. As soon as they both arrive, they’re greeting by a mob of fans, male and female, screaming and having their phones out, filming.

“What the.” She pauses and looks around. “What? What the heck is going on?”

“Fans sat here for hours to see you arrive.” Diana informs her.

“…they can’t be all here for me, right? Was there another celeb on board?”

“Only you, Jen.”

Still in shock, she decides to approach the fans. “Aye! What up, what up!?”

All she could hear was more screams and cheers as they call out her name. From I love yous, to welcome back to America, it was touching. After taking selfies and accepting some gifts from the fans, she makes her way to the car with Diana.

Watching the fans try to follow them, she murmurs, “This is friggin crazy, man.”

So, this is how it’s going to be for now on? Maybe this won’t be too bad in the future.

The car ride to Angelina’s mansion that her and her family lived in, went quicker than expected as Jen rushed to take her seatbelt off.

“Slow down!” Diana lets out a laugh as she makes her way out of the car.

“BABE!”

Jen hears a loud scream and gets tackled down to the ground. She grunts loudly as her back hits the ground. Opening her eyes, she sees Angelina squeezing her to death as tears form in her eyes.

“ANGIE!”

“I missed you so damn much!”

When they finally get back on their feet, Angelina pulls her back in for a tight hug while Jen tightly wraps her arms around her. Pulling away, Jen tries to control her tears.

“Stop crying! You gonna make me cry, again, damn it!” Angelina wipes Jen’s tears away. Stepping away from her, she takes a good look at the 17 year old. “Look at you, getting all beautiful and thick. Your butt is bigger!” She pokes it.

“Aye! No touchy!”

Letting out a laugh, she grabs her hand and takes her inside. “You and I have some extreme catching up to do.”

“Where’s the rest of the fam?”

“My mom is shopping. Dad is working, and my little brother is in his room gaming.”

“Jennie!”
They hear the 13 year old boy as he runs over to them.

“Ah, speakin’ of the devil.” Angelina murmurs while Jen gets hugged by her younger brother.

“Still got a crush on my friend, Ty?”

“N-no! Shut up!” Tyrone pulls away and tries to punch her.

“Aye! Who are you swingin’ at, little boy?!”

Jennie giggles at their play fighting. Tyrone took a liking to Jennie when Angelina first introduced her to him when they were back in Amity. He thought she was pretty and her smiles always got him to act giddy.

After the 19 year old beats her younger brother, sitting on top of him as he tapped out, Angelina takes Jennie to her room, where she’ll be sleeping over. Locking the door so Tyrone won’t interrupt their girl talk, Angelina sits by her desk.

Jen on the other hand, falls back on her bed, sighing at the comfort.

“You ight, girl?”

“Jetlagged.” Jen confesses.

“Sorry for dragging you to LA.”

“No, I’m happy to be here. I just realized that my body can’t run 24/7. I’m exhausted, constantly on the go. I need to take better care of myself.”

“Please make sure you do. Don’t overwork yourself, girl. So! I wanna know errthing! How’s the group? How’s Namjoon?”

“Hahaha, you’re so eager to know about Namjoon’s well being, huh?” Jennie sits up with a smile. “He’s doing great. And so are the rest of the members.”

“Glad to hear that. You’re look so happy with them. I’m glad you left and moved on. So, Miss 17, how do you feel now that you’re older? Can’t believe you’re about to be legal next year! I can’t wait for you and I to start partying together.”

“I honestly don’t feel any different. Maybe once I’m 18, it’ll hit me.”

“What’s it like for you in K-Pop?”

“Well, recently, I have been seeing that people criticize me for not looking like your ideal idol. And I’m over here like, I wasn’t aware that you had to look a certain way to be in this industry. I have my own style and want to continue breaking boundaries.”

“Good, continue that.”

“I think I’m doing well to maintain being myself. For our recent comeback, I’ve happy that I’ve been getting more recognition.”

“Girl! Let me tell you, when I saw that music video, I was like, no way is that my Jennie, all grown up. You did that, girl. That music video was fire. BTS has great music.”

“Thanks, girl! Only thing is, I hope the recent recognition for me is not because I’m acting sexier. I want to be noticed for my talents, not my sex appeal on stage, y’know? As they say, sex sells but I don’t want that for myself. I don’t want to be portrayed that way.”

Angelina nods, agreeing with her statement as she listens to her continue.

“The dances for our comebacks get intense every time. It’s a challenge, but I’m loving every second of it.”

“God, I friggin’ love you. Your high spirits in the group makes me happy that you’re continuing to perform. Totally gotta see you in concert.”

“Well Miss 19, tell me about the rapping career!”

“I can’t believe I got this far man...it’s...it’s a blessing, y’know? My life is so crazy now. I’m blessed to have supporters like you and my family in my life. You guys keep me in check, helping me to move forward. And now my first anticipated album reveal party is on the 14th. I’m so nervous.”

“How many songs are there?”

“13.”

“Who did you collab with?”

“Most of them are just me but I did manage to get Drake in one of my songs.”

“No friggin’ way! Angie! That’s amazing!”

“He’s so chill. He’ll be at the party. I’ll introduce you to him.”

“S-seriously? THE Drake? He’s coming to the party?”

“Mm hm! It’s gonna be lit! I hope soon I’ll collab with Nicki. Wanna get a sneak peek at the songs?”

“Hell yeah!”

---

On November 14th, Jen and Angelina were in the limo, on their way to the event. Jen wore a white two piece dress, while Angelina wore a black two piece dress with spaghetti straps.

“Ready, girl?” Angelina beams.

“You know it.”

When the limo door opens, they both step out, immediately greeted by paparazzi, interviewers and fans as they stand behind the red VIP ropes. Linking arms, they begin to walk, waving at everyone.

As they walk down the red carpet, the two of them take photos together, as they hear the paparazzi shout about two former Amity members staying and touch and still being friends.
After the photos, they’re stopped for interviews.

“Jennie, how do you feel supporting your former bandmate, Angelina, in her solo career?”

She was asked as she smiles brightly. “I’m so proud of this girl. I knew she was going to make it big when I first heard her rap. I’m ecstatic!”

“I love this girl, right here. I’m so happy she’s here with me, today.” Angelina hugs her from the side.

“What makes your friendship with each other so special?” They were asked.

“Y’know, honestly, no matter how far we are from each other, whenever we’re in different countries, we’ll always be friends and keep in touch. We recently got back in touch while I stayed in America and she went to Korea. Shout out to BTS by the way!”

“Jennie, will we be seeing a solo from you, anytime soon?”

Shaking her head, Jen replies, “Nah, no solos from this one. Right now, I’m 100% focused on group songs.”

“I hope she solos one day, though. I’ll be waiting.” Angelina nudges her.

“Will you two be collabing together in the future?”

“Never say never~” Angelina wiggles her eyebrows while Jen winks.

After heading inside the venue, Angelina makes her way to the stage, greeting the crowd and saying her welcoming speech, revealing her first album, called, Angie, and it’s finally out on iTunes and will be in stores the next day.

After the reveal, she performs one of her singles, which happened to be with Drake, which gets everyone hyped up. After their performance, Angelina brings Drake right over to Jen.
“This is my girl, Jennie.” Angelina presents.

Butterflies filled Jen’s stomach as she smiles, trying to act calm as possible. “Hi! It’s nice to finally meet you!” She manages to say, starting off in a shaky tone.

“How you doin’, girl?” He politely greets, kissing her hand. Jen lets out a nervous giggle from his charm.

“I’m trying not to freak out in front of you. Can I have a hug?”

Angelina laughs at her nervousness while he happily accepts her request.

‘Oh mah god, it’s Drake!’ Jen mouths to Angelina as she wraps her arms around him, in a hug. Whatever cologne he was wearing, it smelled really nice.

‘I know! Score!’ Angelina mouths at her.

“Jennie is very talented in singing.” Angelina adds.

“Oh really?” Drake turns to Jen.

“Ah, it’s nothing special.” She tries to deny.

“Hey, maybe you two can collab, one day? Heck, even the three of us, one day. Have you heard her voice?” Angelina beams.

“Sing a little, let me hear what you got.” Drake gestures.

Jen looks at Angelina in shock, while she laughs at her reaction. Letting out a breath, she decides to sing a little bit of Alicia Keys. After singing, she smiles shyly while he nods in approval.

“Damn, girl. That was tight.”

“Really? That means a lot, coming from you. Thank you.”

“She’s so in denial, I swear.” Angelina shakes her head. As the three of them take a photo together, Jen posts the photo on Instagram and on the BTS Twitter, tweeting, ‘SHOOKED!’

After hanging with Drake, the two friends hear the paparazzi shout, “Amity! Amity! Over here!”

“The hell?” Angelina turns to the entrance with Jennie to find Hailey, Trinity and Layla strolling in. “Oh hell no. Why the hell are these bitches here?” She looks on in disgust, making her way to them with Jennie.

Jen exhales and frowns at the situation. Of course, they would be here.

“What are you three doing here?” Angelina asks in a not so polite tone. Before any of the three members could respond, they started to get photos taken.

“All five members are here! Can we have a reunion photo!?” They hear the paparazzi shout

“Come on, just like old times.” Hailey smiles sweetly. Jen could see right through it as she puts on a fake smile for the cameras.

“Angelina! Jennie! Are you going to be rejoining Amity?” They asked.

“Nope!” Angelina and Jen answer immediately.

“That’s just too bad. Well you’re always welcome to rejoin.” Layla replies.

“I don’t want to go to jail for murdering your leader. So, I think it’s a wise choice for me to not rejoin.” Angelina warns.

After the dreadful photo op, all members of Amity stand in a secluded area to talk without any cameras.

“Wow...” Angelina looks at Hailey up and down. “You got some serious balls to show up here unannounced. And you two are followers. The hell do you think you are?”

“Ouch. That’s how you greet us?” Trinity asks.

“I know. The animosity is hilarious.” Layla snickers.

“I just came to give my kudos to you and your album. Is that so wrong? And Trin and Lay wanted to tag along.” Hailey answers.

“Yep because you’re here to promote yourself and steal my spotlight like you always do. Don’t you got something better to do?” Angelina spats.

“As a matter a fact, I do.” Hailey turns her attention to Jennie and smiles. “Hello, Jennie, long time no see.” She speaks in Korean.

Jen parts her lips, staring at her in bewilderment, speechless while Hailey continued to smile innocently.

Did she just speak in Korean? Why? How? Who taught her? What is going on?

“Wh-when did you learn Korean…?” Jen hesitantly asks.

“Oh, a long time ago. Why? Surprised?”

“Wipe that shit eatin’ grin off your plastic face.” Angelina spats at Hailey.

“Sorry, ghetto girl.” Hailey replies in Korean.

“What that bitch say?”

“She gave you a half assed apology and called you a ghetto girl.” Jennie translates with a frown.

“Ghetto? I’ll show you ghetto.” Angelina shouts before getting held back by Jen.

“Don’t make me get a restraining order against you. Don’t forget you’re the one who affected my face.” Hailey warns in English.

“And that plastic surgery didn’t do much to your face.”

“Why did you learn Korean?” Jennie inquires in a serious tone.

“That’s none of your business.” Hailey shrugs.

“You said learning it was a waste of time. Now how come all of a sudden you decide to learn the language? That isn’t a coincidence.”

“How’s BTS, Jen? You should introduce me to your group! I’m dying to meet them! Let’s see if I remember them correctly. There’s Rap Monster…the leader that I met…Suga…J-Hope…V…Jimin…Jin…and one other…what’s his name…? The handsome one. Ah, Jungkook?”

Letting out a shaky exhale to control herself, Jen stares at her with a serious expression. “Do not go near my boys.”

“Why not? I’m thinking about collaborating with one of them. Jungkook has a phenomenal voice-“

“You’re not going near my best friend. That’s not happening.”

“Best friend, huh? That’s cute. And you got friendship rings to lock it down, huh? What’s the problem, Jennifer?”

“I don’t feel comfortable with you around him or the rest of the members.”

“You’re acting paranoid.”

“No, I just know you have bad intentions. Stay away from the Bangtan Boys. Got it?”

“Why? Think I might steal your spot?” She taunts

“Did you hear my girl? She said you’re not going anywhere near her boyfriend!” Angelina snaps.

“He’s not my boyfriend! Cut it out!” Jennie exclaims.

“Well, not yet.” Angelina shrugs, earning a punch in the arm.

“Oh? Well, he is handsome. If you’re not dating him, maybe I should.” Hailey suggests.

“HAHAHA!” Angelina laughs loudly. “You can forget it!”

As soon as Jen heard Hailey’s statement, a force of protection overcame her as she steps in front of her.

“Jungkook and I actually discussed this. Whoever he chooses to be with or has a crush on, he told me that he’ll come to me, to get my opinion since he trusts my good judgement. And you are nowhere near an option. So, I would appreciate if you stayed away from him, got it?”

“And who are you to tell me who I can and cannot be around?”

“Because I won’t let someone like you, taint his mind or take advantage of him. Jungkook is a kind, gentle person. He’s selfless, and always there when you need him. I’d do anything to keep that bright smile on his face. And I’ll be damned if I have someone like you, hurt him. He deserves someone who can take care of him, love him for him and not for his looks and to cherish him. Someone who can make him happy. And you aren’t that person and never will be. I won’t let you treat him like some play toy for your own pleasure, tossing him aside when you’re done with him. No friggin’ way, Hailey. You are not going anywhere near Jungkook or the rest of the members. Forget it. Get that stupid thought out of your head. I’m done with your shit.”

Hailey starts laughing. “That was adorable. Really. What a speech.”

“You think this is funny?” Angelina snaps.

Jen shakes her head, looking at Hailey with disappointment. “Why can’t you just leave mealone?”

“I dunno it’s just really entertaining to see you freak out over stuff like this. You’re easy to mess with.”

“So, you think this is a game? Let’s make Jen go crazy for our pleasure?”

“Yeah, it doesn’t take much to push your buttons. Especially when you choose the most personal buttons to push. I do find it enjoyable to watch you freak out and fall. I wonder how far I can go with this.”

“I wonder how far my fist can go through your face.”

“By all means, hit me. We’re already in a public setting, anyway.”

“Well, you certainly didn’t have a problem throwing a drink in my face and running away afterwards.”

“Because I know that you’re not going to do anything to me. You’re scared to. Scared of the consequences. It’s best if you’d stay in your lane, Jen. If you know what’s good for you.”

Letting out a scoff as she watches her leave with her followers, Jen crosses her arms. “You good? I’m about to see if I can kick her out.” Angelina places a hand on her shoulder.

“I really, really am getting tired of her shit.”

“You and me both, sister.”

---

Later on that night, while the cameras were on all members of Amity, Hailey decides to make an announcement on camera. “Well as you know Amity has had their new album, recently.” Hailey beams while Jen and Angelina fight the urge to roll their eyes. “We have some great news for patient fans. On behalf of SongStress Entertainment, I am proud to announce that Amity will be having a world tour very soon in 2015!”

The announcement caused a lot of positive feedback while Jen and Angelina glance at each other. “Excuse me?” Angelina questions. “You’re really announcing this at my album party?” Her blood starts to boil.

“And...we’ll be touring for the first time in South Korea!”

Jen’s stomach drops as she stares at her in surprise. “You are?”

“Yes! I wanted it to be a surprise, isn’t it great?” Hailey happily asks as the cameras continue filming.

“No. It’s not great.” Angelina replies in a flat tone.

What the heck is going on?

After getting away from the cameras once more, Hailey approaches Jen. “If you ever want Amity to collab with your group, lemme know.”

“No.”

“Think about it, Jennie. BTS could use the publicity.”

“We’ll earn publicity by our music. I want nothing to do with you.”

“You sure? Your music isn’t that good.”

“The autotune in your music any better?”

“Okay, you’re angry. I’ll let you cool down. Tell your boys Amity will see them in Korea. I’ll make sure to stop by.”

“You wish.”

“Just remember, Amity is better.”

“Uh huh, we’ll see about that.” Jen waves her comment away.

---

After the event, Jen and Angelina are back in Angelina’s room. Angelina paces around in her pajamas, still pissed off at Amity’s sudden arrival.

“Yo...you have no idea how much I wanted to strangle all three of them...like are you kidding me? You’re really gonna show up to MY album event? MY event? And announce your weak ass world tour? You tried it. I should’ve kicked her ass.”

“I’m glad you didn’t hit her. I feel like she’s just doing this to get a reaction out of us.” Jen murmurs, sitting on Angelina’s bed.

“Easier said than done, right? Especially when she talked about your boys. I’m glad you stood your ground, when she talked about your boys.”

“I’m just…so protective of him and the rest of the members.”

“Hey, the Bangtan Girl gotta protect the Bangtan Boys every now and then. Not just the Bangtan Boys protecting the Bangtan Girl.”

Before Angelina could continue talking, she gets a text message from a random number.
‘Hi, this is Rap Monster from BTS. Jen gave me ur number. I think your rapping is amazing, I would love to talk with you and maybe collab with you in the future.’

“Holy shit! My night just got better!” Angelina squeals and starts to become a giggling mess.
Jennie smiles to herself. ‘About time.’ She thought

---

Back in Korea, Jen finds herself at the school library after school, writing notes for her Honors English class. “Maybe I should’ve just took a regular English...” She murmurs. The work has gotten more, week by week with harder books to read. But it was her favorite subject and wanted a challenge.

As she continued to have her face in her books, she hears the chair across from her being pulled out. Looking up, she sees Jungkook taking a seat.

“Hey.” He grins. “I finally remember where you hide out.”

“Ha, I don’t mean to hide. I find a little solitude here, despite the constant stares and not so discrete photo and videotaping while I work.”

“We can always just work at the dorm.”

“I know but I like the atmosphere of libraries.”

Smiling at her statement, he raises a brow. “You really like school, don’t you?”

“Just English and guitar.” She returns his smile and goes back to her books.

Jungkook continues to watch her while she works, admiring her work ethic. “Can I ask you something?”

“Knock yourself out, Kookie.”

“I-I know you’re busy with your Honors English but could you...tutor me in English?”
Placing a bookmark in her book, she closes it and meets his stare. “You want me to teach you English?”

“Yes.”

A smile comes across her lips. “Of course, I’ll teach you. Just lemme know when you want to begin.” She goes back answering her homework questions in her notebook, that was due next week.

A few moments later, she felt eyes on her and looks up, catching his stare before he shyly looks down at the table.

“N-now?”

Meeting her gaze, he nods, revealing a cute grin across his face.

“Now.”
