The Bangtan Gal

MAMA Awards 2014

MAMA Awards was fast approaching as BTS and Block B prepared for their collaboration. There would a rap battle, a dance battle and a singing battle. For Jennie, she received the opportunity to sing with Taeil, for the singing battle. His strong vocals and her harmony skills would be a treat for the fans. Although it was a battle, both groups thought of it as a mutual stage.

She couldn’t believe that she would be singing at the MAMA Awards. That was THE show to be on. So many iconic performances were performed on the show. She hoped to exceed expectations. All she saw on Twitter were comments about her, wondering how she would do on stage at a big event like this.

With everyone on the stage, working on their individual activities, Zico approaches Jen, with Taeil. “This is Jennie. She’s the one you’ll be singing with.” He explains with a friendly smile.
Looking up, she returns his smile and turns to Taeil, who had a shy smile on his face.

“Hey, it’s nice to meet you. Taeil, right?”

“Yes. It’s very nice to meet you. I’m looking forward to working with you.” He looks down at the ground.

Noticing his shyness, she shakes her head in disapproval. “Oh no, you are not going to be shy around me. We are not doing this.” She playfully teases, crossing her arms as he looks up, speechless. He wasn’t expecting that kind of reaction from her.

Jen took a good look at him. A pair of black glasses framed his face and he was a few inches shorter than Zico. He was cute.

“I told you she’s easygoing. You’ll enjoy being around her. You two will be laughing and chatting it up in no time. Good luck, you two.” Zico pats the two of them on the back and heads back to Namjoon to work on their raps.

“Come on, let’s get to work and see how fast I can bring you out of your shy state with me.” She gestures as they head backstage. They soon find a vacant area with less commotion and sit down together at a table.

“So, what’s your position in Block B?” She asks suddenly as she places a notebook and pen on the table.

“I’m a vocalist. And you?”

“Same. I like your glasses, by the way.”

“Ah, thanks. I just don’t really like my eyes.”

Raising a brow, she asks, “Why not?”

“They’re small, so I usually just wear the glasses.” He rubs the back of his neck.

“Take them off, let me see.”

He glances at her warily. “I’m not going to laugh.” She reassures, as a soft chuckle escapes his lips. He takes the glasses off, setting them down on the table. Turning his head, he meets her gaze while she tilts her head to the side, observing his eyes.

“Well? Aren’t they weird looking?”

“Boy!” She playfully punches him on the arm, surprising him, but he suddenly starts to laugh at her reaction. “Embrace them eyes! They look just fine!”

Her sudden compliment had his eyes light up as he felt content with her statement. “Thanks. That makes me very happy.”

“You’re welcome. And don’t you forget that. So, any nicknames you go by? I’ll keep them in mind for future reference.”

“Future reference?”

“I’m sure we’ll see each other again after the MAMA Awards. I’d like to become friends with you.”

Taeil’s mouth twitched briefly as he shakes his head. “But we’re already friends.”

“Glad to hear!” She beams.

“For my nicknames, I usually get called sharkie, or fishie.”

“I assume it has to do with fish?”

“Yeah, I take care of fish.”

His hobby took her by surprise. Usually she would hear hobbies like dancing, reading, singing or working out. “That’s very interesting. I never knew someone who enjoyed having pet fish. Well, for me, I usually get called Ennie and JW.”

“Can I call you Ennie?”

“By all means. I’ll call you sharkie.”

“How do you like being here in this industry? Is it hard for you? Your Korean is clear and good.”

“I’m always asked that and I feel like my answer changes sometimes. Right now, I just want to prove critics wrong. It’s a bit hard being away from home and all, and I’m still trying to get used to getting more popular these days. I used to be able to go to places without any recognition but now, I feel the need to wear a hoodie or something, thanks to BTS’ growing popularity. But I’m easy to notice because I’m chocolate, so…what difference does it make?” She lets out a chuckle. “It’s humbling though. It’s an honor to collab with Block B, too. I’ll work hard to make this singing battle successful. I admire your singing ability.”

“You’re very sweet, thank you. I admire your singing ability too. The feeling is mutual. Let’s get started. They gave me an update on our singing battle.”

“What did they change?”

“At first, they wanted us to sing more than one song, but since the segment is on a time limit, we’ll only have time to do one.”

Jen nods. It was first supposed to be a BTS song and a Block B song. Each of them would sing each other’s songs with each other, creating a custom verse for each song.

“So, they said we can either do Look Here by BTS or Nice Day by Block B.”

“Hm. Okay. Which one do you want to do?”

“Ladies choice.” He gestures.

“A-ight, then. I wouldn’t mind performing Nice Day. I feel like the song is very funky and can get the crowd moving. Hm, then it looks like I’ll have to do more work, with creating a custom verse.” She ponders.

“Are you fine with that? We can always just do the BTS song.”

Waving his concern away, she replies, “It’s cool. I’m going to enjoy it. So how are we doing this?”

“Here’s what I was thinking.” He takes her notebook and opens it to a blank sheet. He writes down the first line of the song, which was his, and then goes straight to writing the chorus.

“You’ll come in with the Ehs, singing it with me. We’ll harmonize together.”

“Sing it for me. The ehs.”

Warming up his voice briefly, he begins to sing, “Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.”

Listening closely to his range, she begins to sing with him, in a higher pitch, bringing out a smooth harmonious sound. “Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. Eh,eh,eh,eh,eh.

“That was pretty good.” He praises. “We sound great.”

“I like it. Okay, what’s next?”

“After the ehs, you’ll come in for your verse. Then back to the chorus. You’ll sing the chorus this time, and I’ll occasionally sing with you. Then we’re go to the whoas, and end it on a high note by singing whoa.”

“Simple enough. Sounds like this’ll be a blast.”

Taeil was an easy person to work with and straight forward. He was patient as she learned how to sing the song and helped her write some lyrics.

“Put a little bit more power into it. It’ll hype the crowd even more.” He instructs, singing a strong ‘Volume up.’

“I’ll think of Christina Aguilera, then.” She clears her throat. “Volume up!” Her voice comes out strong and raspy.

“Good!” He nods happily as she keeps singing

All ma party people say. Shake it up yo head, agijagihan geon narang an majeunikka.”

Kkeutkkajiga.” Their voices clash smoothly.

“That sounded so damn good!” She beams.

As they continued working, they were at the last part for the high note. “Can you increase your pitch just a bit?” She asks before they sing again.

WHOAAAAAAAAA~

After they sing the high note, they notice all members of BTS and Block B were watching them in awe. How long were they standing there for? Some had their jaws dropped, while others widened their eyes.

“That was you guys!?” U-Kwon asks in astonishment, while the two of them grin sheepishly, feeling embarrassed.


Before they knew it, it was time for the dress rehearsal. As usual, BTS are filled with high energy, dancing and jumping around, while Block B seemed to be tired.

“So, you mean to tell me…I can’t do cartwheels on stage!?” Jen exclaims to Namjoon and Zico. They both cross their arms, playfully responding with an unamused expression. “No? Okay, maybe next year.” She turns to the camera, that were filming a documentary on their preparation for the MAMA Awards. “One of these MAMA Awards, I will do cartwheels on stage. I think that’ll be fun.”

It was late in China, the staff scattered around, making sure everything was topnotch for the show. From working on the lights, the music, and the cameras, the atmosphere was hectic with a hint of playfulness as everyone worked long and hard to make sure the show was a success.

Jen stood with Taeil, as the camera filmed them for the BTS and Block B hidden story of the MAMA Awards.

“Jennie and I have prepared a singing stage.” Taeil happily mentions while Jen shoots the camera nods happily.

‘How do you like working with Jennie?’

He was asked as he glances at her with a smile. “She’s ridiculously sweet and fun to work with.” He acknowledges.

“Me? Really? This guy is so nice. He’s fun to work with too. He’s chill and very patient with me.” Turning her head to him, she suggests, “You know, we should wear glasses while we collab together.”

“I have an extra pair. You can wear that when we perform.”

“Awe, really!? Yes, let me borrow them!” She claps her hands together in excitement.

As the rehearsal went on, Jen stood off to the side to watch Zico and Namjoon practice. It must be fun to be able to perform with someone you’ve known for a long time. Their performance suddenly made her think of Angelina.

“Excuse me! You dropped this.”

Her thoughts were interrupted as one of the sound engineers approached her. She looks up to see him handing her the choker that popped off her neck when she was practicing. When she met his eyes, she noticed that he looked around her age. Probably a few years older, with short black hair.

Nonetheless, her mood boosted when she noticed her choker was safe.

“Oh wow, thank you! Good looking out!” She bows and examines it. “I guess it popped off while I was dancing. I must’ve had this on too tight. Thank you!”

Nearby, Jungkook stood with Jimin, ignoring him as he watched the guy that Jennie was talking to.

Who was he? And why is he smiling like that?
Annoyance started to overcome Jungkook as he watched the guy’s lingering gazes at Jennie while getting distracted from his work.

Why did he have to stare at her like that? Why did he have that stupid smile on his face? Shouldn’t he be getting back to work? Now he’s distracted by her?

The way the guy smiled brightly when he watched her practice, suddenly made Jungkook frown.

“Hehehe, someone’s annoyed~”
He hears a familiar teasing voice. Jungkook turns his head to see Jimin smirking at him, knowingly. He had forgotten that Jimin was next to him this entire time.

“Shut up, hyung…” Jungkook grumbles in response. Now was not the time for his teasing. He was not in the mood.

“Is someone mad~?”

“No.” He firmly responds.

“Are you sure~?”

“Yes.”

“That guy seems to be fond of Jennie, don’t you think?”

“Hmph.”

“It’s cute, look at how he’s staring at her. Oh, and he just started fumbling with the wires. Someone’s distracted. Is that a little blush on his face?”

“Jimin.” Jungkook calls out in a stern voice. Ignoring his threatening tone, Jimin lets out a goofy giggle.

“I wonder if he’s going to ask her out. How long do you think it’ll take?” Jimin presses, oblivious to Jungkook clenching on to his mic, causing his knuckles to go white. “He looks like he really likes her. Look at how he’s staring. That boy is in love~! Jennie and the cute boy sitting in a tree, k.i.s.s-“

Before he could go on, Jungkook storms off, ignoring Jimin’s loud laughter.

“Come on, Jungkookie! I was joking! I wanted to see your reaction! Jungkookie! Come back! Wait!” He walks after him, in a fit of giggles.

After rehearsing, both groups took a short break. Yawning, Jennie looks ahead to the same guy that gave her back the choker. “Good job, that was a great high note.” He praises with a smile.

“Really? Thank you. I think my mic is a little lower than Taeil’s.” She hands him her mic.

“Got it handled. I’ve noticed it too. So, what’s your name?”

Letting out a soft chuckle at the question, she shakes her head. “I think you know.”

“Well, it’s always polite to still ask someone what their name is.” He replies with a smile.

She looks at him, registering his statement. That was nice of him to consider that.
“Jennie.”

“My name is Shin.”

“Well, it’s very nice to meet you, Shin. And thanks so much for finding my choker. I legit just brought that thing. I’m gonna need to figure out if I should just buy a new one or see if I can fix it. It’s broken since it popped.”

“I could fix it for you.”

“Oh, you don’t have to do that, it’s just a choker.”

“By all means, I don’t mind.”

“Well, if you want. Thank you.” She hands him back her choker.

“It’ll be good as new by the day of the show.”

“I dunno why but you look like you should be an idol or something.”

“I get that a lot but I’m more of a behind the scenes kind of guy. You play an instruments?”

“The guitar. I’m so passionate about it. And I like to DJ for fun.”

“Oh really? Maybe you should show me your DJ skills sometime.”

“Nah, I want to DJ for Yoongi first. I did before but not actually live from scratch. I just showed him what I already played around with. So I hope you understand that Yoongi will be the one.”

“Ah, it’s cool. I respect that.”

Meanwhile, Jungkook unintentionally lets out a growl of aggravation as he watched their interaction from afar. His microphone in his hand was showed no mercy as he continued to tightly hold onto it.

“You all right?” Tae pats him on the back.

“I’m fine.” He grumbles.

“Someone’s moody. What’s wrong with you?”

Jimin puts an arm around Tae, laughing. “He’s just-“

“Hyung!” Jungkook snaps.
BOOBS! NO! NO! AND NO! No boobies are showing on my watch!”
Jin’s frantic yelling in the hotel room was heard. Jennie lets out an exasperated sigh.

“They’re just balls of fat!” She exclaims, throwing her arms up in the air.

“And those balls of fat will have the guys staring!”

“I don’t even have anything!” She places her hands on her chest, raising them up and down.

”You’re still growing! Don’t lie to me, they're getting bigger!”

“How do you know!?”

“Because Mama Jin knows best!”

It was finally December 3rd. The day of the MAMA Awards. BTS were getting ready, preparing for their red carpet appearance. A stylist had dressed Jen in a tight red strapless dress, that hugged her curves. As soon as Jin saw the dress, he nearly had a heart attack. It was too sexy. She was still young in his eyes to wear something like that. But Jennie thought there was nothing wrong, and she trusted the stylist’s judgement on the dress.

“Jin, it’s just a dress!”

“No, Jennie.”

“This is bullshit. Like, really.” She snaps in irritation. “You drawlin’ right now.“

“What was that? Say that in Korean! Don’t go English on me, when I’m talking to you!” He scolds.

“I said you’re drawlin’ right now! The dress is fine! You are overreacting! My God, it’s a damn dress. There’s nothing wrong with it! You are freaking out over nothing! Shit!” She retorts. She was so angry, she liked the dress, but his bickering began to piss her off.

“The answer is no.” He firmly orders.

“You can’t just-“

“And that’s FINAL!” He turns to the stylist, who looked frightened at their heated disagreement.

“Please change her dress.” He pleads, smiling apologetically.

Turning back to Jennie, he screams in horror when he sees how her butt looked with the dress, while Namjoon stands next to him.

“Uh, excuse me, missy but where do you think you’re going, with that dress on?” Namjoon crosses his arms. There was no way she was going out there with that type of dress on. Not on his watch.

Oh, my god! There’s no problem with this, jawn.” Jen shouts.

That’s too much ass, Jen. I don’t want guys getting fresh with you.”

I think I can notice the fuckboys when I see one.”

Can you really? Guys will say anything to try to get in your pants.”

I know...”

“Do you really? Because your butt is getting bigger. And as you like to call them, your balls of fat, they’re getting bigger as well and I don’t want anyone getting any bright ideas. And they bet not stare or try to touch you.”

“Namjoon, I appreciate the concern but my butt is a butt, I can’t do anything about it.”

“Why must it be so big!?” Jin complains. “This is too much!”

“Wait until you’re 18 to wear this.” Namjoon warns.

“I don’t want her to wear that at all!” Jin whines.

Annoyed, Jen rolls her eyes. “Thanks mom and dad.” She mutters.

After much debate with Jin and Namjoon, the stylist helped Jen finally settle for a short red two piece dress.

“Make sure it’s not short in the back.” Jin makes Jen turn around as he examines the back of the bottom piece of the dress. “Bend down, let me see how high it rises up. Hopefully it won’t show anything.”

“Are you kidding me?” She sighs loudly as he bends her down.

“Hm...okay, you’re off the hook for now.” He makes her stand back up.

“It’s nice and classy.” Namjoon nods in approval. “I like it.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah...” Jen huffs.
After getting her hair and makeup done, she left the room while Jin, Namjoon and Yoongi continued getting ready. Adjusting her black heels, she makes her way down the hallway.

Meanwhile, Jungkook just left his room that he shared with the rest of the members, walking down the hallway, adjusting his red coat. But when he looks up, he stops in his tracks.

“Wow.” He lets out a breath as he stares at the breathtaking sight. He watched as she got closer, adjusting her skirt. He noticed that she was even wearing the friendship ring, just like he was. Looking at the ring on her finger made his stomach leap with joy.

Meeting his gaze, Jen’s eye light up, pleased to see him as she waves enthusiastically. “Hey,Kookie!” She beams.

And there was the smile he would never get tired of. He loved to see her so happy. Little did he know, she was annoyed from her previous disagreement with Namjoon and Jin. But once she laid eyes on him, her annoyance went away and she felt nothing but elation. He had that positive effect on her, but she was unaware that the feeling was mutual.

“What do you think? Do I look OK?” She gestures.

“You look...” He trails off, taking in her appearance.

“Too much red?”

“Nah. You look gorgeous.”

“Aw, you really think so? That makes me happy, to hear you say that. Thank you. You’re not too bad yourself. Hold on, this has been bothering me, I’m tired of looking at this uneven collar.” She adjusts his red coat while he looks down at her. “Have you grown over night?”

“I don’t think so.”

“You’re getting tall, Kookie.”

“Oh really? Am I getting manlier?” He teases with a bunny smile.

Taking a step backwards, she examines his outfit, head to toe. “Hm…nope.” She smirks with amusement and strolls past him, heading for the elevator.

Taken aback by her answer, he turns around with his eyes widened. “Y-YAH!”
Meeting up with her, he presses the down button, ignoring her fit of giggles. “That was mean.” He huffs.

“Hehehe, I’m just joking. You’re manly. And you look handsome. Just try not to kill the ladies with your charm.” She nudges him.

“I could say the same to you.” He nudges her back.
When BTS arrive at the red carpet, they get out the van, immediately having pictures taken of them.

“Can you please talk with me during the welcome meeting?” Namjoon asks her. “I’m feeling a bit pressured.”

“Your English is just fine. Don’t feel pressured. But yeah, I got you.” Jen reassures him.

Each member stood on the red carpet, smiling and waving. Lights flashed quickly from all directions, making Jen squint her eyes briefly. One thing she disliked was the constant clicking noises when pictures were taken and the flashing lights. it was difficult to see at times.

For this year’s MAMA Awards, BTS were nominated for Song of the year and best dance performance.

“Hello, we are…” Namjoon starts off.

“BTS!”

It’s our very first time in Hong Kong, and we’ve heard so many fans in Kong Kong are really got those energies and passions for K-Pop.” He continues.

Jen nods and speaks up. “Yes, we’re so honored to be here. We’re excited, we can’t wait to perform, and we are looking forward to our first MAMA in Hong Kong. This is such a big deal to us, and we cannot wait for our stage.”

Jungkook was unable to hold back his smile as he looked down at his feet, listening to her speak in English. When she spoke in Korean, she would sound unintentionally cute. But her English voice would sound chill, yet gentle, with some sort of accent from where she used to live.

We can’t wait for the stage and just like Jennie said, we’re so honored to be here.” Namjoon adds. “We’ve prepared an unpredictable and special stage, for this 2014 MAMA.”
Yes, whatever you do, don’t take your eyes off the stage, you could miss something special.” She teases with a smile.
Yeah, it’s going to be really surprising, I think it’s going to be special and surprising. Thank you.”
Thank you very much!” Jennie bows with the rest of the members.

After their red carpet performance, Jennie was approached by Choi Yeo-jin, who was one of the red carpet hosts. “Miss Bangtan! Do you have a moment?” She asks with a bright smile.

“Hi! Yes, of course.” She bows and returns her smile.

“Before I start, let’s take a look at this two piece dress. Wow, very pretty.”
Jen decides to turn around, for the camera, showing off the dress. “Thank you, I love this dress.”

“How do you feel right now, at the MAMA Awards?”

“I feel awesome! This was always a dream of mine, to be here at the MAMA Awards, and now it finally came true. I’m excited.”

“I can tell, you’re so happy! Fans want to know; how does it feel to be the first African American in a K-Pop group?”

“Y’know, I’m thrilled that fans asked for more diversity in K-Pop and I hope I live up to the expectations. I do feel a little bit pressured because of the high expectations. Like, oh, ‘will she be singing in English the whole time or in Korean? Does she know the culture well? Is this a publicity stunt or something?’ and I’m proud that I have been proving my critics that I am very serious about this position in this industry and I’m taking it one day at a time. I’m happy that my Korean is good, and becoming easier to understand for everyone.” She answers genuinely.

She continues her answer in a passionate voice, “I’m happy that I’m still here, and I’m always thankful for my boys, because if it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Being here, it’s very humbling. I get Instagram comments and tweets from fans saying that I’m inspiring them, it’s so crazy. I always get excited when I perform with the guys. I don’t think it matters what color you are, who you are or anything like that, just follow your dream. Go for it. I’ve had my fair share of low times, failures and rejection and I know there’s more to come, but you can overcome the obstacles.” She smiles.

“Her confidence is strong! I can tell you are very passionate and I do enjoy watching you perform. I like your charisma.”

“Oh, stop.” She lets out a chuckle, flattered at her praise. “Thank you.”

“Any advice you can give to foreigners?”

“Never be afraid to branch out.”

“Which performance are you most excited to see?”

“Oh, you know I’m looking forward to Baekhyun! EXO~” She lets out a giggle.

“Why him?”

“He’s amazing in EXO. I’m a huge K-Pop fan, I’m a fan like everyone else. I’m a huge stan of EXO. I drive the guys crazy whenever I listen to other groups, dancing and singing obnoxiously to annoy them, hahaha.”

“How nervous are you for tonight?”

“Right now, I’m at a 5 for nervousness. But just before I get on the stage, it’ll be a 10. I always get nervous before a performance.”

After the interview, she heads backstage to meet up with the rest of the members. Before she could go any further, she felt a soft tap on her shoulder. Turning around, her eyes widen when she sees G-Dragon.

“Long time, no see!” He greets cheerfully.

“H-hey! Oh, my gosh, it’s been a while!” She laughs while he pulls her in for a hug.

“It has. I wanted to say hey and to check up on you. It seems like just yesterday when I attended my first MAMA Awards. You’ll never forget your first MAMA Awards. How are you feeling?”

“I’m calm now but I know the butterflies will be coming, soon.”

“Yeah, they’ll always come. But I know you’re going to be fine. I’m looking forward to your performance.”

“And I’m looking forward to yours! You’re gonna kill it!” She grins while one of the staff members approaches the two of them, telling them to go to their seats.
As the show started, there were fancams filming BTS and their reactions towards the performances. As they watch the Last Fantasy stage with Girl’s Day and Ailee, Jen lets out a squeal when Ailee takes her black hat off, revealing herself to be dancing with Girl’s Day.

“Hehehe, she’s so happy!” Jimin teases.

“Ailee~! Jennie can’t get enough of her.” Tae giggles.

“Quiet!” She hushes them, feeling her face heat up.

As Ailee performed ‘Don’t Touch Me’, the guys kept glancing at Jen’s reactions and lipsinging. As the fancams caught everything, it was safe to say that Jennie is the ultimate Ailee fangirl and anticipated the day where the two of them finally cross paths.

Jen continued to watch with happiness. Ailee’s strong stage presence and vocals were amazing, as she jammed in her seat. Meanwhile, Jimin, Hobi and Tae giggle at her eagerness, while Namjoon let out a chuckle.

There was a time when a camera was right in front of Jennie, so she lipsinged the lyrics, staring at the camera with a smile.

After her performance was over, Jen happily applauds.

“*Cough* fangirl.”

Jen turns to Jimin and punches him on the arm. “Shut up!”

“Hehehe, Munchkin was so cute, all happy for Ailee.” Hobi giggles.

As the show went on, with John Legend performing, Jennie couldn’t help but feel like she was being stared at and started to feel curious.

Meanwhile, it was from afar, where GOT7 sat, where the culprit was. It was revealed to be BamBam, who watched her with a smile on his face.

‘She’s really cute.
’ He thought as he continued to watch her. He thought her reactions towards Ailee were infectious and enjoyed her enthusiasm. Just as he continued to observe her, Jennie turns her head around as he quickly looks away.

‘I hope she didn’t catch me.’
He thought, as his stomach drops. He’d have to be more careful. He sneaks in another glance before looking away, afraid he’ll get caught.

Jackson laughs at his shyness. “Smooth.”

“Shh! Don’t make it so obvious!”

“Shouldn’t I be saying that to you?”

Later that night, backstage, Block B and BTS prepared for their stage. They were right after Sistar. For the performance, Jennie wore a white crop top with her white leather jacket over her. Her jeans were white and high waisted, along with a white bandana tied ontop of her head

As she had finishing touches done on her hair from one of the stylists, the sound engineer, Shin, that approached her during the dress rehearsal, strolls over to adjust her earpiece. But she noticed him fumbling with the ear piece.

“Are you okay?” she giggles at his nervousness.

After finally adjusting the ear piece, he lets out a short chuckle. “Sorry, I don’t really see a lot of foreigners here. And I wasn’t aware how pretty they are.” He flirts.

Taking his flirting attempt as a sweet compliment, her face warms up as she giggles. “I’m flattered. Thank you.”

Meanwhile, Jungkook lets out a sigh of annoyance, sneaking glances at the two of them while they talked.

“All right…it was funny at first but now I’m getting annoyed with this guy. He doesn’t seem to quit, huh?” Jimin looks on, shaking his head. “I wonder if he knows that she’s not interested.”

“I hope so...” Jungkook mumbles. As he watched them, Jungkook clenches his jaw when he sees Shin adjusting her bandana.

Jimin was staring at Shin with the scariest glare, feeling the urge to protect her. He was too close to her.

Shin is a sound engineer, not a stylist. Why was he trying to get close and touch her? Why was he trying to flirt with her?

Having enough, the two members make their way to them. Noticing their presence, Jennie turns and smiles. “Hey, guys!”

Jungkook’s anger dissipates as he replies with a smile. Meanwhile Jimin speaks up in a not so friendly tone, “I think some members of Block B need help with their mics. Now.”

“All right, thank you. Good luck out there, Jennie.” Shin smiles and leaves.

“Um, are you two okay? You look like you just lost in one of your favorite video games.”

“Nothing!” The two boys reply.

No matter what, the Maknae line will always have each other’s back.
Mission: Protect Jennie Successful
'Fight of The Century’

As soon as Boy in Luv comes on, BTS walk out to the stage, hyped up. Jen shoots the camera a rock on sign before walking up the steps to stand on the stage, with her mic in hand.

The roar of the crowd took her by surprise as she looks at the sea of humanity all around the venue. This was it. This was BTS’ time to shine at the MAMA Awards. Butterflies in her stomach gotten worse as she smiled through the nervousness, acting hyped up with the rest of the members.

“Let’s go!” She shouts, jumping around on stage.

Next up was Block B, walking out to NalinA. When they get on stage, both groups face off before they hear a horn.

With the members leaving the stage except for Jimin, J-Hope, U-Kwon and B-Bomb, the dance battle commences.

While the guys danced on stage, Jen stood at the back of the stage with Taeil, in the dark. He had on his pair of glasses and a large brown hat on his head. She put on her pair of black glasses to match him.

“Nervous?” He asks, placing a hand on her shoulder.

“I’m shaking.” She lets out a shaky breath. “I dunno know about this.”

“It’s going to be OK. You’re going to do great. We got this.” He smiles in reassurance, removing his hand from her shoulder.

There were so many people, and so many idols watching. The heat was on.

As soon as Jimin ripped his shirt off, the crowd went into pandemonium, even making the idols freak out, especially the ladies. The sudden sound of the crowd, soothed Jen’s nerves as she starts to laugh.

“They’re going crazy!” Taeil listens in awe.

“Oh Jimin…what do we expect? He’s always full of surprises.” She responds, proud of Hobi and Jimin on their dancing.

As the lights fade out, Taeil walks on stage to stand before the ramp that connected to the stage where the Dance off was.

All ma party people ready~!


He sings out as the song transitions to the chorus while the lights reveal him. He’s met with loud screams and cheers as he performs, walking down the ramp as the crowd jams out.

Where ma party people at

agijagihan geon narang
an majeunikka kkeutkkajiga
Let’s go let’s go let’s go~!

The lights appear down on Jennie as she walks down the ramp, singing with him,

EH eh EH EH EH
EH eh EH EH EH eh (have a nice day)

EH eh EH EH EH
EH eh EH EH EH eh (have a nice day)


“Show em what you got Jen-nay~!” He sings in a high voice and jams to himself while she starts to sing,

Aye,

Everybody party it up
Everybody knows what’s up
Let me give you a heads up and tell you how it’s going down, right now
Let’s raise the volume to the max and get loose.
You know this music makes you want to
Tell me why you’re staying calm, it’s time to leave the worries out the window

As she sings, Taeil meets up with her at the middle of the ramp. He grabs her hand and spins her around, as she grins in response. He follows her, dancing around.

Dance for me and keep it grooving

Don’t stop now, keep it moving
This beat is so funky, I can’t control my body
Time to break a sweat on this dance floor
Let’s get a little naughty
BTS, Block B, you know how we go
Hong Kong, at MAMA, you know how we roll
All ma party people put your hands up

Wrapping an arm over her shoulder, Taeil and Jennie rock from side to side in front of a camera, happily.

Me and Taeil goin’ party all night, they can’t stop our flow
Tonight is the night, we goin’ show em how it’s done,
Tonight is the night, now shake your body and lose your mind

Getting released, she sings the chorus, walking with Taeil as she points to the camera when it moves with them.

Where ma party people at

sikkeureopge hae
ttabunhan geu gamogeseo araseodeul
gieonawa oh tonight volume up

Taeil takes over, singing, “All ma party people say, Shake it up yo head, agijagihan geon narang an majeunikka.”

kkeutkkajiga” They harmonize together, earning louder cheers. “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go~!

EH eh EH EH EH
EH eh EH EH EH eh (have a nice day)
EH eh EH EH EH
EH eh EH EH EH eh (have a nice day)


As the piano played, Taeil does a scat, before singing out,
“Whoa!”

Jen responds with her own, “Whoa!”

“Whoa!”

“Oh!”

“Whoa!”

Whoa~” They sing their high note to louder cheers and then the lights go out, ending their battle. Seconds later, Rap Monster and Zico were revealed on stage for their rap battle.

As Taeil and Jennie leave the stage, she wraps her arms around him for a big hug. “We did it, Sharkie!”

“We make a great team Ennie! We did great!”

She lets out a breath. “That was so fun. And I’m not even nervous anymore, I’m ready for the next performance!”

After the rap battle, BTS gather to perform Danger. When it was Jen’s part, a camera showed BamBam jamming out to her verse with a big grin on his face. Afterwards, Block B performed Her. After they finish, both groups gather on stage.

“Ah, yeah!” Rap Monster rasps out.

“Let’s~ get it started...in here~” Jen sings as the opening beats for Black Eyed Peas’ Let’s Get It Started came on.

And the base keep runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and Runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and

Dancing to the beat, she sticks her tongue, dancing around. This sound was such a throwback.

In this context, there's no disrespect, so
When I bust my rhyme, you break your necks
We got five minutes for us to disconnect
From all intellect collect the rhythm effect
Obstacles are inefficient, follow your intuition
Free your inner soul and break away from tradition
Coz when we beat out, girl it's pullin' without
You wouldn't believe how we wow shit out
Burn it till it's burned out
Turn it till it's turned out
Act up from north, west, east, south

Everybody, everybody, let's get into it
Get stupid
Get it started, get it started, get it started

Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here
Yeah

Lose control, of body and soul
Don't move too fast, people, just take it slow
Don't get ahead, just jump into it
Y'all hear about it, the Peas'll do it

Get stutted, get stupid
You'll want me body people will walk you through it
Step by step, like you're into new kid
Inch by inch with the new solution
Transmit hits, with no delusion
The feeling's irresistible and that's how we movin'

Everybody, everybody, let's get into it
Get stupid
Get it started, get it started, get it started

Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here
Let's get it started (ha), let's get it started in here
Yeah

Headed backstage, Jen was approached by Shin, yet again, while Tae watches, unamused. There was something about him that Tae wasn’t feeling.

“Let me know if I’m over stepping my boundaries with this question but, uh, are you seeing anyone by any chance?” Shin asks out of the blue, staring right into her eyes.

His question took her by surprise. Honestly, she wasn’t expecting anyone to pay her any mind. Sure, she wanted to date in the future but she just met him and would like to get to know how before making a drastic decision. She answers politely, “O-oh, uh, well. Sorry that caught me by surprise.”

“Really? Shame that no one’s noticed just how special you are.” He gets closer.

“I’m not liking this…” Taehyung watches on, alerted and decides to approach them, bringing Jimin along.

“I wonder how Jungkookie would’ve reacted if he saw what we saw.” Jimin huffs, watching Shin in disapproval.

“I don’t want to know or find out, man.”

“U-uh, I’m really flattered.” Jennie takes a step back, bowing politely at Shin. He was a bit too close. “But time is a virtue. Let’s get to know each other first. Let’s be friends.”

“HEY, ENNIE~!” Taehyung loudly greets cheerfully, putting an arm around her, pulling her close to him.

“Oh, Tae, Jimin, what’s up, guys?” She smiles and glances at them.

“I couldn’t help but noticed you and this guy talking.” Tae narrows his eyes at Shin. Shin raises a brow at his dirty look, hiding his annoyance at getting interrupted. “Sorry, but she’s not interested.”

Before Jen could comprehend what he just said, Jimin adds insult to injury, speaking in a serious tone, “Yes, Jennie…our Jennie…our precious…precious Miss Bangtan, whom is protected by SEVEN Bangtan Boys…is a very…very busy young lady.” He stares at Shin with another one of his scary looks.

“Yes, and she has no time to be getting distracted. I hope you understand.”

“Guys!” Jennie exclaims.

“Well can I at least get your number?” Shin suggests.

“Ah, ah, ah. No boys.” Namjoon comes out of nowhere, grabbing Shin’s phone out of Jennie’s hands. He hands the phone back to Shin. “She won’t be needing your number. Carry on, man.”

Jen exhales sharply and storms off, getting annoyed. Why did they have to do that? That was so rude. She at least wanted to be friends with the guy. What was wrong with that?
Back in their seats, Jen was pissed. Jimin giggles. “She’s mad~.”

“Jimin, shut up.” She retorts.

“I’m not feelin’ that guy, Smartie.” Yoongi puts his two cents in.

“Yeah, you can do better.” Tae replies.

“You’ll thank us later.” Hobi reassures her.

Jen’s mood went back to happiness, acting hype and fangirling over EXO’s performance, as they start off with Black Pearl. Baekhyun looked amazing as usual, as she was in awe.

“Really?” Yoongi shakes his head. “You are such a girl.”

“Don’t talk during Baekhyun’s parts, hush!”

As the performance progressed, she squeals, “Ahhhh, look at him!” She points at, watching Baekhyun sing his verse for Overdose.

“OH, SHE WANTS ME!” She grabs onto Yoongi, shaking him.

“Cut it out!” He tries to push her off. Hobi, Tae and Jimin laugh at Yoongi’s struggle.

Despite the annoyance in some parts, the nervousness, the MAMA Awards was a success for BTS, and a night they will never forget.
Back at the hotel room, Jen shared with Jin, Namjoon and Yoongi, Jen wanted all the members to be in one room, to talk about the restrictions she had against talking to Shin.

“Okay, so are you guys gonna act like you didn’t do anything while I was talking to him?” She asks. “What the heck? That was not cool. I’m trying to make more friends in this industry.”

“And you will. Just not that guy. Look, you don’t need to be around any boys. You should wait.” Namjoon speaks up.

“Oh, mah God, I just want to be friends, that’s all!”

“I honestly don’t see what the damn problem is with her speaking to more boys.” Yoongi retorts.

“Leave the poor girl alone. She’s smart enough to know which guys to watch out for. I just don’t approve of that sound engineer. He seems corny. You can do better.”

“Does she? This is a different country!” Jin exclaims.

“So, what?” Yoongi bluntly replies.

“There’s guys that want to experiment on foreigners. Especially a girl like her. I’m not letting anyone take advantage of her.” Namjoon crosses his arms. “I am not allowing any guys to take advantage of her. Done deal. End of story.”

“They won’t, I won’t let them.” Jennie tries to explain.

“Well, you shouldn’t just give your number out to just anyone! You never know what will happen, Jennie. You need to get that through your head. Do you know who we are?” Namjoon asks sternly.

Frowning at his lecture, she crosses her arms, stubbornly staying silent for a moment, before mumbling an answer.

“I’m sorry, what was that?”

“I said we’re idols…” She grumbles.

“People sharing idols’ numbers is common. You must be careful.” Hobi advises while the Maknae line watches on, back and forth.

Jen turns to the Maknae line. “Are you guys gonna help me, here?” She gestures, but they shake their heads.

“We’re all worried about your safety, too. We agree with the hyungs.” Jungkook answers, seriously.

“Are you for real?” Jen shakes her head. “I thought you would take my side!”

“Stop trying to argue with it.” Namjoon scolds. “That guy seems fishy.”

“Stop treating me like a kid!” She snaps.

“Well stop acting like one.”

Shaking from anger, she growls. “You are just so…UGH! I can’t stand you! You don’t tell the rest of the Maknae line who they can and cannot talk to, so why me? Un-believable! Are you gonna do this to everyone I talk to now? Because I find it hard to believe that this will be a onetime thing. You’re freaking out over nothing! Stop babying me!”

Namjoon sighs out of annoyance, watching her storm out the room. “Don’t slam the-“

BAM


“…She slammed the door.” He rubs his temples.

Jin rushes to the door, opening it out, watching Jennie walk off. “The guys want the chocolate! But they won’t get the chocolate! If they want the chocolate, they’ll have to go through me!” He shouts, stopping Jennie from walking as she turns around, confused at his sudden outburst. “And I, Jin, do not approve of any of this! They will not get the chocolate! YOU WILL THANK ME LATER!”

“What is wrong with you!?” She rolls her eyes and gets on the elevator.

“Huh? What chocolate? There’s no chocolate around here. Is there?” Tae looks around the room.

“He, never mind. Forget it Tae.” Namjoon shakes his head.

Jin, grabbing the Bangtan Bomb camera, begins to film. “We the Bangtan Boys have an announcement to make on our Bangtan Girl. To all the men out there. Older and younger.” Jin speaks up.

“If you want to date Miss Bangtan.” Namjoon adds.

“Date our precious Jennie.” Jimin beams.

“Then you must get the approval of ALL seven of us! Every single one of us.” Jin guarantees.

“We will do background checks.” Hobi points out.

“Ask about your education and work.” Yoongi speaks up.

“And make sure you are good for our Jennie.” Tae smiles.

“Ah, but she won’t be dating until she’s in her 30s. She has plenty of time.” Jin smiles innocently. “Should we start setting curfews for her?”

“Nah, let’s not go that far. She’ll kill us in our sleep.” Namjoon laughs as Jin ends the video. He knew Jennie would come around. He’ll find her and have a long one on one chat. Things got blown out of proportion. But he hoped that when he talks to her, she’ll understand where he’s coming from and all he wants is to protect her.

After pondering, he exhales and leaves the hotel room to go find her. She couldn’t have gone far.

Back in the room, Jimin suggests, “What about Jungkookie? Should we set him a curfew?”

“Ah, he’s a shy bean, we have nothing to worry about with him.” Hobi pats Jungkook on the back.

“I dunno…Jungkookie isn’t as innocent as you think.” Jimin teases.

“IS THERE SOMETHING I SHOULD KNOW!?” Jin screams.
