The Bangtan Gal

Let's Name It Iron Man

Vexation wasn’t even the word to describe how Jen felt as she sat on a lounge chair with her knees up to her chest. Sitting outside, at poolside, the cool air caused goosebumps to rise on her skin. She was chilled but was too stubborn to go back inside.

What was the big deal?

The guy was nice. She thought he was cute and friendly. The guys were just overreacting, as usual, dimming down her mood.

“I’ve been looking everywhere for you.”

She heard a deep voice, causing her to exhale through her nose. He just had to follow her, didn’t he?

“Well, you didn’t need to. I’d like to be alone, can you leave?” She grumbles at Namjoon, looking straight ahead at the pool.

“No. I want to talk to you.” He demands.

“Well, I don’t want to talk to you.” She gets off the chair, turning to face him.

“I wasn’t done talking back there, now calm down and let me finish what I have to say.”

“I don’t want to hear it. It’s the same stuff over and over again. If it’s not you, it’ll be Jin. Let me get to know people.”

“And giving out your number to just anyone?” He scolds with irritation in his voice. She crosses her arms, turning her head to the side, stubbornly. “I would advise you to give them your Instagram or something, message on that. Not your phone. I don’t want to risk it. And we wouldn’t be having this conversation if you would just stop being so damn stubborn.”

“Do you even understand where I’m coming from?” She argues. “I’d like to get to know people-“

Do you understand where I am coming from?” He cuts her off in English. If he was speaking in full English to her, she knew he was upset and serious about the situation. “My point makes better sense than yours. I know you want to talk to more people and have new friends but that guy just seems sketchy.”

He’s not sketchy!” She exasperates.

Namjoon lets out another sigh of frustration, running a hand through his hair. He had to remember that she was still a teenager and teens, well, they want to explore and live their lives to the fullest.

“He’s just a sound engineer. He’s nice.” He heard her claim.

That’s what they all say...” He grumbles.

Scoffing at his statement, Jen shakes her head in disbelief. “Wow, Joon, thanks.”

“Look I’m trying to-“

No. I’m gonna go to bed. I’m done with this.”

Jennifer Walker, don’t you walk away from me.” He sternly calls her out. If he had to go into full father mode to protect her, he’ll do it.

She stops in her tracks, taken aback at the sound of her full name. Her dad would call her that if she would be disobedient or if he was serious. The sudden thought began to make her ponder about her father.



“Jennifer Walker, don’t you walk away from me!”

The sound of her father’s stern voice made her stop walking before she could make it up the steps. It was a Friday evening as Jen stood in front of her dad and sisters. Her sisters gave her looks of disapproval while her father said with authority, “Apologize to your sisters.”

“I didn’t do anything!” She snaps.

“You broke our TV. There’s legit a crack in the middle of it! We told you to stay out of our room!” Vienna argues.

“How do you even know it was me? You can buy another one!” Jen fusses. Okay, so maybe she was playing with a volleyball and accidentally smashed it against the TV and it fell off the table.

“Jennifer apologize.” Her father orders.

Sighing with annoyance, she murmurs a “Sorry.”

“Louder and say it like you mean it.”

“I’m sorry I broke your TV…”

“This is coming out of your allowance.” Her father informs as he walked back to the kitchen.
After hearing his statement, Jen drops her jaw in disbelief, instantly rushing after him, ignoring her sisters’ laughs. “W-wait a minute! Come on! Dad! Please don’t do this!”

Although that argument was stupid and she was acting like a stubborn baby sister at the time, the flashback made her smile softly. She missed her dad. But for some reason, Namjoon would remind her of him and the sadness of missing her father would fade away. As she thought about it, she began to feel bad for acting this way towards him. Maybe Namjoon was right.
She turns around, bumping into his chest as he wraps an arm around her shoulders, pulling her in for a tight hug. She felt his other arm wrap around her waist.

You are so stubborn. Just listen to me. I just want to protect you. I’m trying my best here. I couldn’t take it if anything bad happens to you. Mentally or physically. I don’t want you to deal with any scandals. I want your time here in BTS and in Korea to be a fun one, with no problems. That’s all I want, as we continue to work as a team.”

Wrapping her arms around him, she returns the hug. “I understand…I’m sorry, Namjoon.”

Don’t worry about it. Just promise me you’ll be careful. And if there are any problems, I’m a phone call away.”
Back in the hotel, Jen went back into the room she stayed at, to see Tae playing on his phone, on the bed.

Looking up to see who had walked in the door, Taehyung instantly smiles and waves at Jennie. “Hey! You’re back! Is everything okay?”

“Yeah, things are fine. I understand where he’s coming from. Anyway, you need to use the bathroom? I’m about to shower.”

Setting his phone down, Tae gets off the bed, too excitedly. “Shower? Can I shower with you?”
With his question catching her off guard, Jen whips her head to him, baffled as she stopped gathering her pajamas. “E-excuse me?”

“Can we shower together?” He repeats innocently like it was no big deal.

“Uh, no Tae, what the heck?” She stares at him, raising an eyebrow.

“What? Why not, Ennie?” He whines. “I just want to shower with my friend.”

“Tae, I’m a female!”

“Girls shower and so do guys. And they can shower together. We can save water! We can help the environment.”

“Lord have mercy on my soul.” She murmurs, walking into the bathroom.

“Wait, so is that a yes?” He asks as he takes off his shirt. He stumbles into the bathroom as he begins to undo his pants. Turning around, she widens her eyes, alarmed by his unpredictability.

“H-hey! No-no-no-no-no-no.” She places her hands on his chest to stop him. “Nice tummy by the way.” She laughs when he giggles after she pokes it. “But anyway, we cannot shower together, it’ll be weird. I mean, with you and the guys it’s kind of different. But I’m a girl, y’know? You never know when your weenie will appear.”

“Hehehe, weenie.” He giggles.

“So, I’ma need you to go back into the bedroom until I’m done showering, my good friend.” She turns him around and pushes him out the room.

“Okay, maybe next time? Or the next time after that? Please? I want to shower with all my members!” He calls out as she shuts the door. “Jennie? Please? Give me an answer!” He whines.

“40% chance.” She decides to answer and turns on the shower.

“Okay! I can live with that!” Still disappointed he couldn’t shower with her like he would with his hyungs. Tae went back on the bed to relax, putting back on his shirt.

Moments later, Jungkook and Jimin arrive with snacks in their hands. “Is Jennie back?” Jimin asks.

“Yeah, she’s in the bathroom. I’m bummed, she wouldn’t let me shower with her.” Tae sighs. Before he could explain the situation, he was cut off by a loud “YAH!” from Jungkook as a pillow connected to his face. “Oof!”

“What do you mean you wanted to shower with her!?” The Maknae shouts, smothering him with a pillow.

“Do you wanna die!?” Jimin shouts, jumping on top of Taehyung. He grabbed another pillow, striking him multiple times as yells, battle cries and screams were filled throughout the room.

“The heck?” Jen murmurs as she rinsed herself off. “What is going on out there!?” She shouts, loud enough for them to hear.

“NOTHING!”

She heard a loud yell in response. Hearing Tae groan dramatically, caused her to wonder if they were just play fighting, figuring that Jungkook and Jimin were back in the room.

After drying herself off, blow drying and moisturizing her hair, Jen walked out in her pajamas, witnessing the interesting sight. There were Jungkook and Jimin on top of Tae, in a compromising position.

“Oh dear…” She says awkwardly, causing the three of them to stop fighting and turn their attention to her.

“Oh. Jennie, how nice of you to join us.” Jimin smiles sheepishly.

“Uh, you know what, I uh, I’m gonna…go sleep with Yoongi instead, so um, you guys uh…finish what you’re doing.” She awkwardly responds and prepares to leave the room.

“W-wait a minute, no, it’s not what it looks like!” Jimin shouts over Jungkook and Tae’s protests.

Back in Korea, Jen met up with Hayoon at a local coffee shop. Since Jen arrived first, she ordered herself and Hayoon large cups of hot chocolate and made herself comfortable at a booth to get started on her chemistry homework. After five minutes passed, Hayoon arrived.
Jen’s mouth quirked up as she pulls her in for a big hug. “Hey, girl! Long time no see!! You dyed your hair! I like it!”

“Thanks! Preparing for that debut next year, hehe.” Hayoon beams. Her hair was previously brown and now it was dyed black. Things were coming up for her and Jen couldn’t be any happier. “It has been so long! How was the MAMA Awards and Hong Kong?” She asks as she sat across from Jennie.

“Girl! Hong Kong was lit! The whole MAMA Awards was lit. It was so amazing to be on that stage and perform with Block B.”

“So proud! I hope GFriend makes it there, too.”

“You will. How’s the debut preparation coming along?”

“Swimmingly. I believe this will be a great debut. I’ll make sure to teach you our dances.”

“Oh dear, isn’t it a cute dance? I can’t do cute dances. I like aegyo but I look awkward doing it. I’m more into the powerful, badass concepts. Like Danger.”

“But you can do sexy concepts. War of Hormone was a hit.”

Jen felt her face heat up at the memories of grinding against her best friend for the choreography. But the memories made her crack a smile as she took a sip of her hot chocolate, avoiding eye contact.

“I feel shy doing those sexy moves.” Jen spoke, meeting her stare.

“Well, not when you’re on that stage with Jungkook~.” She teases with a fit of giggles.

“Oh hush!” She laughs with her. She had to admit, he made her feel extremely comfortable when they performed War of Hormone despite Jin going bonkers over the constant skinship. “I’m grateful my stage charisma has gotten better. I need to work on my fierce expressions but I’m satisfied at how much I’ve improved.”

“And as for the cute dances?”

“I’m a lost cause.”

“Hehehe. I could teach you our dances, one day. You up for that?”

“Get ready for me being an awkward bean. Because I just cannot. It’s so hard. What did I miss in Chemistry?”

“We have a test coming up.”

“Of course, we do.” Jen murmurs with disappointment. “Chapter 6?”

“Yes, chapter 6. Hey, is that someone’s number?” Her attention peered to Jen’s cup.

“Number…?” Turning her cup around, she sees a phone number, most likely written by the male barista she ordered the hot chocolates from. “Smooth.”

“Are you gonna call him? Or talk to him?”

“Eh, nah. I’m flattered but I’m gonna be more cautious around stuff like this.”

“Good idea. Especially how numbers of idols have been released to the public these days. It’s scary.”

As they begin to work on the homework together, Jen felt her phone buzz. Taking it out her bag, she stares at the notification from Angelina.

Angelina: BITCH! Did you see Amity’s recent interview!? [11:00 AM]

Confused, she opens the message and sees a link to a YouTube video from the Wendy Williams YouTube channel. “Oh, here we go.” She murmurs as she puts her earbuds in, connecting them to her phone. Reading the caption, ‘Amity members keep it real about working with Angelina and Jennie’, Jen already knew there were going to be problems. And if Angelina texted her, there would be even more problems.

‘Real, eh? Let’s see how many lies come out of their mouths.’ She thought bitterly, pressing play.

There were Hailey, Trinity and Layla sitting on the couch with Wendy as the crowd applauded. “Okay, so I got to ask, you three recently came to Angelina’s album reveal party, correct?” Wendy had asked.

“That is correct.” Layla smiles.

“Were you invited?” Wendy raises a brow.

“Well, she wasn’t too thrilled.” Hailey shrugs.

“Yes, we’re all aware of the fight between you two.” Wendy points out.

“Yeah, but I thought as a good leader of Amity, we should come and support her. Let bygones be bygones.”

Shaking her head at the stupidity coming out of Hailey’s mouth, Jen thought to herself with annoyance, ‘Bitch, you went there to reveal your world tour. You weren’t there to support her at all. Stop trying to act like the good person. Angelina kicked your ass and you expect her to be buddy buddy with you afterwards?’

“So, you went there and saw Angelina and Jennie, two former members of Amity. So, is there any tension between you three with the two of them, since they left?” Wendy questions.

“Oh, you already know it was. I’ll be the first to say that Amity is now stronger and better than ever now that the two of them aren’t a part of the group anymore.” Trinity answers as the crowd, mostly filled with ladies, oohed at the sudden gossip while Wendy sips her tea, gaining laughs from the crowd.

As she watched, Jen couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Of course, they would say something like that.

“Angelina and Jennie were horrible to work with.” Layla shakes her head.

‘How?’ Jen questions their BS. They were always lying, trying to make themselves look better.

“Yeah, they were so difficult. Angelina and her anger issues. Jennie acting like a spoiled brat. She went on a rampage when she didn’t get a solo like the rest of us. She even ranted that she should’ve gotten it first because her singing skills were better than ours. She complained a lot.” Hailey goes on as the crowd disapproves.

‘What the hell? I wasn’t that upset. Yeah, I was bummed but I waited patiently despite not getting a solo like the rest of them. I never acted like a spoiled brat or complained, I was humbled by the opportunity of even being in the damn group. Do you understand how many girls auditioned to be a part of Amity? Don’t take it for granted. Why would you lie?’ Jen thought in disbelief.

First Hailey decided to learn Korean just to get back at her, and now this? But the sad thing is, people will do things or say anything to get on top these days. Jen guessed that this is how the world works now. She wouldn’t be surprised if they did anything intimate behind the scenes to get what they want, better yet the lying.

It was sad and it frustrated her.

“But honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jennie is only doing K-Pop to try to further her career and then if she’s popular enough, which I doubt, leave them and go solo. And with Angelina, she gets around. We’ve seen how she was when she was back in Amity. She’s crazy. I’m still surprised she got Drake on her album. I dunno about that, something seems up.” Layla shrugs.

Jen scoffs and shakes her head. Angelina worked her ass off on her first solo album and it wasn’t easy getting Drake on the album.

How dare they?
They’re digging themselves a grave, now.

These fucking punk ass bitches.” Jen growls and slams her fist against the table. Hayoon flinches at the sudden sound and glanced at her with concern.

“Are you okay?” Hayoon questions nervously.

“Amity bullcrap.”

“What happened now?”

After filling her in, Jen goes directly on Instagram to Hailey’s page, to her recent photo of Amity posing with Wendy Williams. Scrolling down the comment section, she spots Angelina’s comment.

ItzAngelina- Lying through your teeth again, I see. Got something better to do? You got A LOT of nerve to say that I of all people get around. First of all, bitch, I did NOT sleep with anybody to get where I am at today, so don’t you dare try to start shit you don’t know anything about. I’m NOT you.

Jen laughs at the comment, agreeing with everything she said. She knew she would probably get some heat for doing this, and exposure on K-Pop news sites but at this point, she needed to set the three of them straight.

JJennie_JW- ItzAngelina FOR REAL! Enough is enough! This isn’t cute!

ItzAngelina- JJennie_JW bitch, I’m pressed! They got me fucked up! I’m not happy.

JJennie_JW- ItzAngelina you and me both, I’m tired of this.

TrinTrin- ItzAngelina JJennie_JW JEALOUS!!

JJennie_JW- TrinTrin OF WHO!? You!? April Fools was months ago!

ItzAngelina- TrinTrin You are THE LAST person I should be jealous of.

JJennie_JW- TrinTrin I highly advise you to shut your mouth because you damn sure would not even dare to say it to my face or Angelina’s.

Laytastic- That moment when our careers are better than those two, and they gotta rant on social media to be relevant, lol. JJennie_JW ItzAngelina

JJennie_JW- Laytastic the only thing relevant about you is the fact that you have no edges what so ever and everyone keeps making memes about it on the internet…exit stage left and take several seats…

ItzAngelina- JJennie_JW HAHAHAHA I’m deceased! Laytastic sit down before we embarrass you even more. And if I remember correctly, I was blessed to have my album on the top 3 on billboard. Where oh where is Amity’s new album??

Laytastic- ItzAngelina We’re working on it and it’ll be #1 on billboard. Just watch!

ItzAngelina- JJennie_JW HA! I LOVE how she replies to me and not you, lol.

JJennie_JW- ItzAngelina right!!

AllHailHailey- Oh, look who is on my page…how I’m not surprised. Go bitch somewhere else.

JJennie_JW- You are the worst of all. AllHailHailey stop lying to the media. First you crash Angie’s album party to reveal Amity’s world tour and THEN you wanna rub your Korean skills in my face when you damn well know you said you hated it and it was a waste of time. How low can you go?

AllHailHailey- JJennie_JW blah blah blah, complain, complain. Are you done whining? If so, get the hell off my page.

ItzAngelina- AllHailHailey No, you treated the both of us like shit. We don’t regret leaving and we’re better off without your asses. If you do this rumor publicity stunt again for the media, you better watch your back. I am not the one’

JJennie_JW- AllHailHailey TrinTrin Laytastic yeah, so shut the fuck up and choke on a dick.

“Oh, my…that got intense.” Hayoon looks on at the comments.

“Been hanging around Yoongi too much.” Jen shrugs with no remorse.

"I’m sure he’ll be proud.”

The fans in the comment section were eating it up and laughing at the comment wrote with laughing emojis and skulls, explaining that they were dead by the comment.

ItzAngelina- Hahahahaha JJennie_JW Finally she’s awakened! I missed this side of you! And don’t you feel bad about it! #ProudFriend
Putting her phone away after no one else was replying, Jen sighs in content. “That felt good.”

“So, who is Hailey? Is she an African American such as yourself?” Hayoon asks with interest.

“She’s this Hispanic girl that used to be my leader in my old group in America. I swear, she’ll put herself on top before the group. The others are just too stupid to realize. She used to be nice when we all first started but then the fame got into her head. And now she learned Korean. Mind you, she went on a full rant about how pointless it was and how stupid K-Pop is. And now I feel like she learned it to get back at me and to try to get close to BTS. I’m not having that. I don’t her around my boys. I just get bad vibes about it.”

“Go with your gut. So why does she hate you and Angelina so much?”

“Sometimes people just hate on others because they’re bitter. Unfortunately, people want to see others fail and want everything for themselves. It’s a lot of people like that in this world…it’s sad. Why can’t we all just be happy and supportive of one another? Why does one have to try to sabotage someone else’s success to benefit themselves?”

“Wow.” She pauses. “What a bitch.”

Jennie chokes on her drink and starts laughing. She was not expecting sweet, innocent and shy Hayoon to say something like that.

Puzzled at the sudden laughing, Hayoon raises a brow. “What?”
“You just cursed.”

“Oh. I guess I did. Aigo.” She looks down shyly.

Going back to the YouTube video to read the comments was a mistake for Jennie as she started to get bummed out at the negative comments about her.

‘I never liked Jennie in the first place. They made a mistake putting her in a K-Pop group.’

‘I know, right? It’s KOREAN POP for a reason. Why is an American in the group? What was Bang PD thinking?’

‘Okay, but what’s the problem? She knows Korean, can sing in Korean, what’s the difference? Is it her skin color? If so, that’s a dumbass reason. And there’s other nonkoreans that are in K-Pop.’

‘She’s kind of pretty for a black girl. But we don’t have to worry about her dating any of the members. They’re into pale girls. We’re fine!’

‘Yeah, she’s nowhere near their ideal type, so we still have a chance.’

‘And why are fans shipping her with the members? Like no.’

‘It doesn’t matter if she’s in BTS because the guys all like PALE girls. So, she doesn’t stand a chance. No one wants to date someone with dirty skin.’

“Ouch…” Jen cringes at the comments as she felt her emotions run high. “Did you really have to say it like that?”

Yes, everyone has their preference on who they want to date and how they want their special someone to look. But did you have to call her skin dirty? There was nothing dirty about her colored skin.

‘I just feel as tho it was easy for her to get there since she’s American and had less training time. It’s a slap in the face to see people like her be in a group where there’s other trainees that worked harder and had way more time to train. She doesn’t deserve it.’

‘So, what if she had less training time? Bang PD believed she was ready than the other girls that auditioned, despite them being there a little longer than her. So, complain to him. He knows damn well what he’s doing, and I’m supporting Jennie no matter what. She performed way before the guys have when she was in her old group. She has the experience.’

‘Okay but she doesn’t even LOOK like a K-Pop idol. Visuals are everything in K-Pop. Yeah, she sings great and all but you gotta have the looks too. She’s not the full package. Big Hit is wasting their time. She should go back to America while she can.’

Jen felt herself getting irater. She wasn’t aware there was a certain way you had to look in this industry, the way this person commented. Yeah, she wasn’t looking like Taeyeon or Beyonce but she still believed she was beautiful. She wanted to be known for her talents, not her looks or skin color.

‘She doesn’t even call the boys oppa. Like, why? How rude is that? She’s being so disrespectful to the members for not calling them oppa. Doesn’t she know the culture?’

Jen rolled her eyes. She was always respectful towards those older than her. She found it ridiculous that antis found the littlest things to complain about. She wasn’t used to the word. She didn’t think it was a big deal. They guys seemed perfectly fine with it, and she even called them by nicknames. They don’t care if she didn’t want to call them oppa.

‘Her skin is just, so noticeable from the other members. Her skin looks so dirty. Why is it like that? Did she forget to shower?’

Again, with the dirty skin comments. It hurt as she felt tears of frustration appear in her eyes. What was the problem?

‘Just waiting until the day she leaves. She already left one group, it should be obvious that she’ll leave this one pretty soon.’

‘I believe what Hailey said. I think she’s just there for publicity and then once she gets popular she’ll leave BTS to start solo.’

As she went on Instagram, she saw a photo of her, before and after. It was the same screenshot of her at the red-carpet event for the MAMA Awards. But the after photo had her looking lighter instead, and she looked white washed as she read the caption, ‘The after photo makes her look so much prettier.’

“Damn, they really want me to leave BTS, huh?” She asks sadly. “If I was lighter or Asian or something, would they complain? Would they say these things? Will they finally look at me for what I do instead of how I look? My skin color?” She murmurs. “Is this how Michelle Lee felt? Talented but faced discrimination since she’s colored and Black-Korean? I hate this. It frustrates me to no end. I didn’t come here to be whitewashed. I didn’t come here to be judge like this because of my skin. That is friggin’ disrespectful. I came here because I love this, doing this, performing with BTS, performing a genre that I love. And this is what I must deal with? I’ve ignored it once but now this is getting too much...”

She never knew the dislike would be this bad.

Hayoon’s heart began to ache for her friend as she places a hand on hers, smiling sympathetically. “Please don’t let it get to you. I know the comments are hurtful but please don’t get discouraged. Antis are nasty people. Those aren’t your fans. There’s a lot of fans that love you for you. Don’t forget that.”

“I’ll be fine, don’t worry. Thanks, Hayoon.”

But damn, everyone is so fixated with visuals, they forget about the talent. Why?

On December 9th, Jennie finally arrived back to the dorm after school, eagerly rushing to her room, shutting the door.

“What’s her problem?” Yoongi asks from the couch.

“J-Cole’s album. It came out today.” Namjoon answers.

Today was a great day for Jennie for just the simple fact that J-Cole’s recently released album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive was there in her room to listen to. It had been torturous to wait until school was over but now, she could jam out in peace.

For the past few minutes, she blasted the music from her room, as Namjoon laughs. “I wouldn’t go in there if I were you. She’s in her chill vibe. Let her enjoy the album. I don’t want her cussing anyone out for ruining her groove.” He warns Jimin and Tae who were about to knock.

‘J.Cole, huh?’ Yoongi thought as he turned his music off his headphones to listen to the music blasting in Jen’s room.

Meanwhile, with Jennie, who sat on her bed, doing homework, she rapped along fluently to Wet Dreamz, nodding her head back and forth.

Oh, you a pro, homie? Well, I want you to show me
My mama gone for the weekend
So Saturday, baby, we can get to freakin'"
That's when my heart start racin' and my body start sweatin'
Baby, you done woke my lil' man up
I'm thinkin' how that body look naked
When you layin' on the bed
Teacher, please don't make me stand up
I wrote back like, "Yeah, baby, sound like a plan"
Still tryna play it cool, sound like the man

As she tried her best to do her homework, she started to get distracted and began dancing around her room to G.O.M.D rapping along. Outside her room, Yoongi’s interest sparked as he listened closely, hearing her rapping. Although he didn’t understand all the English, he noticed the speed of the lyrics and heard her match it proficiently, as a smirk came across his lips.

Get to know somebody and you really learn a lot about 'em
Won’t be long before you start to doubt 'em
Tell yourself you better off without 'em
Then in time you will find can't walk without 'em
Can't talk without 'em, can't breathe without 'em
Came here together, you can't leave without 'em
So you walk back in, make a scene about 'em
On your Amerie it's just 1 thing about 'em

As the next song came on, Yoongi raised a brow at the sudden bass of the instrumental from No Role Modelz. It intrigued him so much, he took his headphones off and headed to her room. There she was, with her back to him, rapping loud and proud. He glanced at the books on her bed. Shouldn’t she be doing her work?

First things first: Rest in peace Uncle Phil!
For real!
You the only father that I ever knew
I get my bitch pregnant, I’mma be a better you
Prophecies that I made way back in the Ville, fulfilled

“Listen even back-OH! WHOA! Hi!” She jumps in surprise, finally noticing Yoongi by the door, watching with amusement. She quickly turned the music down and laughs nervously. “Hey, Yoongi, how are ya?”

“Huh. So, this is how you rap when you’re not in the studio with me?” He teases, crossing his arms.

“Well I mean…it’s J. Cole.” She shrugs.

“Come meet me at the studio when you’re done. We’ll have a short session.” He leaves before she could respond.

Arriving at the Big Hit building, an hour later, Jen heads right inside the studio to see Yoongi working on the computer.

“What’s on the agenda, today?” She drops down on the couch.

“Heh, you’re eager.”

“Well, your music infires me.” She smirks and raises a brow. Yoongi rolls his eyes but couldn’t help but reveal his gummy smile, chuckling at the inside joke. “Ah ha! Made you smile! You owe me smarties.”

“PSSH. No, the fuck I don’t…” He grumbles.

“Language!”

“I want you to rap my verse in Tomorrow. And as you advance, rap Namjoon’s and Hobi’s.”

His sudden request caught her off guard as she declares, “Yoongi, you know damn well I can’t rap nowhere near like you, Namjoon or Hobi.”

“Yeah. I know.”

“Then why are you letting me do this?”

“I know you can’t rap nowhere near our level. Not yet anyway. You can’t rap like us because you have your own rapping style. Just try.” He tosses her a notebook as she catches it with ease. He waits for her to look over the lyrics before he put on the instrumental of Tomorrow.

When it was finally the cue to rap, she starts off shakily, “Gateun nal-“
Before she could go any further, Yoongi shuts the music off, mentioning, “Jennie, rap like you know it.”

“I-I am!”

“No, you’re not. I hear the hesitation already and you’re rapping too low. Rap out loud and with emotion, I can hear the monotone. You know this. Don’t be uncertain. It’s just me and you in here. Do it again.”

Starting off again, she raps with more confidence and a steady tone. Not as hard as Yoongi but it was effective.

Gateun nal, gateun dal
24/7 maebeon banbokdoeneun mae sungan
eojungganhan nae sarm
20daeui baeksuneun naeiri duryeowo cham
utgiji eoril ttaen mwodeun ganeunghalgeora mideosseonneunde

naenae gibuneun keonteurol biteu,
gyesokhaeseo daundoene
maeilmaeiri Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V banbokdoene

“Good. Again.”

After replaying the song around ten times for her to rap his verse, they proceed to the next rap. “Try Namjoon’s.” Yoongi suggests.

“He’s too damn fast!”

“Did I stutter? Try it.” He gestures as she sighs.

“Just don't laugh at me.”

Waiting for the chorus to end, she gets tongue-tied right after stuttering out, “uriga geutorok gidarin naeildo eoneusae.” And throws her arms up in the air, giving up. “Hey! You said you wouldn’t laugh!” She calls him out as he laughs at her struggling.

“We’ll get there. You’ll be ready for it, one day. Your homework is to practice the three rap verses of Tomorrow. I’ll let you know a few days before when our next meet up is. If you do well, you’ll get smarties. If not, no smarties.”

“Deal! I really appreciate you doing this for me. Thanks for being patient.”

“Don’t mention it. Now, onto another topic. When are you gonna DJ for me? I have a set right here. Make something. Use the other computer.” He points out all the equipment.

She exhales. “You always ask me!”

“Because I’m eager to see what music you can make.”

“I dunno when.” She shrugs.

“Why are you so nervous to show me?” He stares at her. She had potential. He wanted to make music with her and in the future, let her work with the rap line. Although she wasn’t golden like Jungkook as a maknae, she learned quickly. It wouldn’t be long before she spits fire. She had nothing to be afraid of.

“I just don’t think it’s a big deal, Yoongi. I feel like you’ll be disappointed. You’re gassing me up for nothing. I’m not a professional like you.”

“Don’t assume nonsense. You never know what the future may hold for your skills. Heck, maybe we could use it for a concert in a few years.”

“Ha, like that’ll ever happen.” She shakes her head. “I mean, I do want to contribute more. Singing is great but I’d like to do stuff behind the scenes.”

Yoongi nods and makes a mental note at her statement. “How about this, when you’re finally ready to show me, and it better be soon, I’ll help you and teach you some tricks.”

Smiling at his offer, she nods in approval. “I’d like that.”

“Good, I wasn’t taking no for an answer.”

“Blah, blah.” She rolls her eyes playfully.

A week before Christmas, Jen prepared to get ready to do some last minute holiday shopping with the rest of the Maknae line.

During the entire week, they finally put up the tree. Putting the tree up was a hassle. From the members getting tangled up with the lights, to difficulties putting decorations around the tree to make it look organized, to Jennie arguing with the Maknae line on who should put up the star until Jin decided to put a photo of Jungkook’s derp face on top of the tree, they all had fun and enjoyed a nice nap afterwards.

In her room, she waited for the boys to get ready as she scrolled through her Instagram. Her timeline began to blow up as she noticed various fans screenshotting her followers list.
Curious, she tapped on one of the photos to see the caption, ‘’OMG CHANYEOL FOLLOWED AND LIKED ONE OF JENNIE’S PHOTOS!!’

Fan comments consisted of a series of ‘OMGs’, ‘No ways’, and about a future EXO and BTS collab.

“No way, there can’t be no way.” She goes to her notifications, scrolling to the bottom to see...

@baekhyunee_exo has now followed you
@real__pcy has now followed you

“B-bae-AHHHHHHHHH!” A high-pitched scream escapes her lips as she falls on the floor, throwing her phone up in the air.

“WHAT HAPPENED!?” Hobi and Jin barge in with brooms in their hands, while the rest of the members rush in to see what the commotion was. Alarmed, Hobi kneels on the floor to help Jen sit up.

“Munchkin! Are you okay?”

“The hell is going on?” Namjoon looks around.

She grabs onto Hobi’s shirt, shaking him back and forth forcefully. “My bias just followed me and another EXO member followed me! LIFE IS GREAT! THIS IS GREAT! I’M DEAD! I’M ALIVE! I CAN DIE HAPPY!”

“I woke up for this?” Yoongi grumbles and heads back to nap, while the rest of the members were relieved it wasn’t anything bad going on and amused at her fangirling.

“Don’t yell like that, jeesh, it’s just a follow back on Instagram.” Jimin sighs.

“JUST a follow back? Did you just say it’s JUST a follow back? My bias and another EXO member are NOT just a follow back, Jimin.” She stares at him blankly.

If looks could kill...

“Uh…I’ll be in the car. We’re ready to go.” He awkwardly leaves the room.

As soon as they get in the car, Jennie had to create an Instagram video about the events that just occurred.

So, um…Chanyeol and Baekhyun just followed your bulletproof girl…THIS-IS NOT-A DRILL! I am so happy, thank you! Please don’t unfollow me after this video, I promise I’m not crazy!”

“She’s lying!” Jimin shouts

“Shut up, Jimin!” She shouts while the boys giggle in the background. After posting the video, she’s flooded with likes and comments. The comment that stood out to her was Taeil’s which said,

2taeil2- How come you weren’t this excited when I followed you? I’m sad.
JJennie_JW- 2taeil2 You know you’ll always have a special place in my heart!! Hehe’
2taeil2- Lies...all lies!

Arriving at a local Macy’s, the four of them decide to split into two. Jimin and Jungkook walk off, leaving Tae and Jennie. After they were a distance away from them, Jimin couldn’t hold back his eager questions.

“So…did you get it!?”

Jungkook felt him nudge him with a cheeky grin on his face. He smiles softly and nods. “Yeah, I got it.”

“Well, where is it?”

“Safe.”

“Oh, come on, tell me the details!”

“Sometimes I wonder if I should’ve told you.” The Maknae murmurs as they explore the store with their masks on their faces.

“You gotta tell Chim Chim these things. So, how much do you think she’s going to freak?”
“Uh…not sure. I just hope she likes it.”

Jungkook was nervous about giving his gift to Jennie. He knew how much she wanted this gift and hoped that it’s everything she hoped for.

“She will. Don’t worry about that.” He smiles. “It’ll be cute.”

Back to Jennie with Tae, they come across the perfume section. “This place stinks with all those combined perfume smells. That’s not good.” She covers her nose, walking through the displays of various perfumes.

She spots Tae checking out the cologne that was over $100. “Ooh, I like this.” He checks out one of the GUCCI colognes. He sticks out his hand to grab one of them but yelps when Jen smacks his hand.

“Taehyung, you do not need to spend all that money on cologne. And half of this stuff don’t even smell that good. Spend wisely. Now let’s go search somewhere else.” She grabs him by the ear and drags him away.

“Ow! Ow! Okay! That hurts!” He whines.

Jimin and Jungkook, accidentally find themselves in the lingerie section for women. “Ooh, look at all this nice lingerie, what do you think Jungkookie?” Jimin teases as Jungkook coughs and speed walks ahead, feeling awkward.

“Hahaha! That was too easy. Hm…I wonder if a certain someone would look nice in th-“
Grabbing him in a tight headlock, Jungkook applies pressure, ignoring Jimin’s strained pleas while tapping out. “What was that? Huh? Huh? Sorry, hyung, I couldn’t quite get that. What?”

At the same time, Jennie happily went through the shoe section. “Oh snap, my Nikes!” She checks out the various designs of the shoes. “I dunno which ones I should get. I gotta treat myself.”

“No-no-no-no-no-la-la-la-la-la, that’s too expensive! You are not spending this much money on shoes.” He playfully mocks her for doing the same to him. Suddenly he grabs her by the ear and drags her away from the shoes.

“Ow! Hey! That only applies to you! Tae, get off my ear, that hurts! Tae friggin hyung!”

Christmas Day, consisted of Jen helping Jin cook the dinner. While the food cooked, the members finally opened their gifts. Jen was more of a giver and decided to buy a WII U and more PlayStation games, while the rest of the members randomly picked gifts under the tree, various gifts consisting of snacks, boxers, headphones and cologne.

“You brought the cologne!?” Jen shouts at Tae, staring at the GUCCI cologne in Yoongi’s hands.

“Hehehe, I told Jimin to pick it up for me.” Tae giggles as she playfully rolls her eyes.

“Man…I wanted my Nikes.” She murmurs.

“Well, I’m happy to announce that your Nikes are right here, milady.” Jimin happily presents the box to her. Her eyes lit up as a gasp escapes her lips.

“No way.”

“Yes, way.”

“Hell yeah! Thank you!” She pulls him in for a tight hug. “Get in here too.” She grabs onto Tae, squeezing them both tightly.

Pulling away, she gestures Jungkook to come over as she grabs a black box from under the tree. “Merry Christmas! Hope you like it. Consider it an add on to our friendship rings.” She beams.

“I wonder what it is.” He smiles with anticipation as he opens the box. It was revealed to be a chain small chain necklace with a white bunny, having JK engraved on it. “Wow. For me? It’s cute.”

“Really? Phew, I’m relieved. I’m wearing mine. See?” She reveals her necklace which was a brown bunny with JW on it. “I was like, let me buy something bunny related. We can be bunnies in crime or something. I had bunnies on my mind for a while.”

“It’s amazing…thank you.” He pulls her him for a tight hug. “Thanks, Jennie. This really means a lot.”

“Well, thank you, Kook.” She chuckles and returns the hug.

After the presents, Jen and Jin finally finish fixing the food and prepared everyone at the table. As they all sat together, Jen spoke up before they could dig in. “Can we pray for our food first?” She gains the attention of the members. “As a tradition in my house, we usually pray for our food. If it’s all right with you guys. It’ll be short and sweet.”

“Yeah, let’s do it.”

“Really? Okay. Let’s join hands.” She grabs onto Jin and Jungkook’s hands. Closing her eyes, she begins to speak, “Heavenly Father, thank you for allowing us to be here today to live another day. I’m thrilled to still be here with these seven awesome guys as we rejoice on this special day. Let this food that Jin and I prepared nourish the body and I hope for more precious memories as a member of BTS. Thank you, and amen.”

“AMEN!” She heard them shout as she lets out a soft giggle at their enthusiasm.

Christmas dinner was filled with laughter and goofiness like no other time they spend together. Afterwards, Jen watches with amusement as the guys break in the new WII U, taking random twitter videos to post on the BTS account. Meanwhile, Jungkook had broken away from the group to gather up the gift he’s been waiting to give Jennie as he sets it on her bed.

“Babygirl?”

“Yes?” She answers immediately, looking up to Jungkook by her doorway. The rest of the members stopped what they were doing as they noticed the new nickname, while Jimin smiles knowingly.

“Can we talk in your room for a sec? I have something for you.” He smiles softly.

“Yeah, sure.” She gets up from the couch.

“What is this babygirl you speak of?” Jin speaks up, narrowing his eyes.

“Heeerrreeee we go…” Yoongi groans while Hobi giggles.

“This better not be a War of Hormone 2.0!” Jin rants on. “Is there something we should know!?”
“Jin, relax!” Taehyung responds with a laugh.

“Talk in the living room, not alone in the bedroom! No funny business!” Jin shouts in mother mode.

“Relax, hyung, everything is OK.” Jimin tries to calm him down.

“They are teenagers. Hormonal-“ Before he could go on, Jimin had covered his mouth as Jen snickers and heads into the bedroom with Jungkook.

Snatching Jimin’s hand away from his mouth, Jin shouts, “Leave the door OPEN!” but gets ignored as Jungkook shuts the door, behind him. “What the-I said to keep the door opened!” He stands up but gets set back down by Jimin and Tae.
“Oh, that’s a big box. What’d you get me?” She sits next to the medium sized red box on the bed, while Jungkook sits on the other side of the box.

“Gotta open it and find out. Merry Christmas.” He smiles with anticipation as his heart began to race. Hoping that she likes this gift was the only thought on his mind.

Taking off the top of the box, her right hand instantly covers her mouth, covering the gasp escaping from her lips. She promptly looks up at in astonishment while he grins triumphantly at her reaction. It was adorable to see her eyes light up, like that.

She looks back down at the box to watch the tiny Jack Russell Terrier puppy sleeping soundly before it starts to wake up, yawning cutely. The puppy stretched and looked at the two of them with wonder, before cutely barking.

Jungkook picks it up from the box and hands it to her. “You like him?” He asks as it starts to lick her face and nuzzle against her.

“I…” She trails off. She couldn’t speak as she held the puppy against her. Overwhelmed with happiness, she began to feel her chest tighten.

“H-hey, don’t cry.” He whispers softly as he wipes the tears that ran down her face with his thumb.

She sets the puppy down while it walks around the bed, acting hyper as the smile never left her face. “It’s a boy. I named him Ironman.” He teases.

“Are you kidding me?” She deadpans until they both share a laugh.

“What? I thought it’d be a cool name.” He says, proud at the name choice.

“Nah...We should name it Captain America. Now that is a cool name.”

“No.” He deadpans as she smirks.

“Yes.”

“No.”

“Yes.”

“Nope.”

“Yep.”

“Nope.”

“Yep.”

“Uh, uh.”

“Uh huh.”

“Uh, uh.”

“Uh huh.”

“Never in a million years. How dare you?”

“How dare you? Ironman? No. Captain America, Kookie.”

“There is no way we are naming him Captain America.”

“Uh huh. We’ll see about that, Golden bunny.” She challenges.

“We shall Miss Bangtan.”

A soft chuckle escapes her lips as she turns her attention back to the puppy. “This is so special. How’d you know I wanted a puppy?”

“Well, you did say that you wanted one on Twitter.“ He reminds her.

“You remember that?” She stares at him in disbelief.

“Things you say don’t just go in one ear and out the other. It sticks.” He shrugs. “You don’t know how much you’re appreciated, do you?” He blurts outs before looking down, embarrassed. ‘Why did I have to say that? That was too much.’ He mentally scolds himself.

Before he could think of something else to say, she pulls him in for a tight hug, wrapping her arms around her neck as he instantly wraps his arms around her waist. “Thank you, Jungkook. I love this. Best gift ever.”

“That makes me very happy to hear you say that. Hey uh, can I…stay in here, tonight?”

“You don’t have to ask. So, do you want to stay because of me or the puppy?” She teases.

“Both.”

“Both?”

“Yeah. I just want to relax with you and puppy.”

“Okay. Fine by me.”

As the both lay down on their sides, facing each other on her bed, petting and playing around with the puppy as it moved around the bed, Jen speaks up. “So, when did you get him?”

“A week after your tweet. I did some research and found a place. Told them to hold it for me after I brought him. Took him to the dorm the day before Christmas. It was a chore hiding him from the others. Only Jimin knew about it.”

“You did all of that for me? I dunno how I can repay you for this. This is so sweet of you.”

“I like seeing you happy. So just keep smiling for me. That’s more than enough.”

“You got yourself a deal.”

“So, I heard about your discourse.”

“What discourse?”

Shut the fuck up and choke on a dick.” He mocks her in a girly voice as she grabs a pillow and buries her face in embarrassment.

“Oh God…why!?” She whines over his laughs. She wasn’t expecting him to say all that in English. He took the pillow from her as she faced him, “I’m a bad influence…let me guess, I was in an article on AllKPOP wasn’t I?”

“Mm hm~.” He teases. “Miss Bangtan goes at it on Instagram with former group members. Some interesting comments you’ve written.”

“L-look, I was emotional and Angelina wasn’t any better, if she’s hyped, I’m hyped.”

“Hey, I’m not judging you. We all lash out and have our breaking points. To me, it looked like you needed it. Yoongi was laughing as he read your comments. He was so proud. So that’s Amity?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s cold of them to start false rumors. You’re nothing like that. And although I haven’t met your friend, I’m sure she isn’t like that either.”

“Hailey and her nonsense...”

“Is she pretty?” He suddenly asks.

Jen lets out a sigh. “Yeah…all of them are.”

She wasn’t going to lie, they were all pretty. She wasn’t going to call them ugly when they weren’t. The only thing ugly about them were their personalities.

“Well, if you think they’re pretty, then you’re just as pretty. Most likely even more.” He murmurs as a smile came across her face. “So, Amity is having a World Tour? They’re coming to Korea?”

“Yeah. I’m not thrilled.”

“Why is that?” He asks as the puppy laid on his chest.

“I just don’t feel right. I feel as though Hailey learned Korea to try to get to you guys. I’m worried, honestly.”

“Should I keep my guard up?”

“That would be swell, bunny.”

“I trust your judgement.”

Suddenly, the puppy jumps right on Jen’s face, as she shrieks in response at the sudden movement. Jungkook laughs wholeheartedly, as he watches her take the puppy off her face. “Not funny!” She laughs with him. His laugh was one of the purest things in the world.

After talking all night about various topics, Jen fell asleep with the puppy snuggled up against her, sleeping in the middle of her and Jungkook. Jungkook briefly watched her sleep with a smile before dozing off his own self.

During the night, around 3AM, Jen woke up, feeling colder than usual. ‘Who the heck turned the heat off…?’ She thought as she turns to see Jungkook sleeping soundly, watching his chest slowly rising up and down.

‘You know, Jungkook...I envy how cute and comfortable you look while you sleep. I’m freezing.’ She thought as she resisted the urge to run a hand through his disheveled hair. She shook away the sudden thoughts as she felt confused as to why she pondered it in the first place. ‘That came out of nowhere...’

Goosebumps were all over her skin from the cold as she contemplated getting another blanket despite being under the covers with Jungkook. Turning to the other side, she saw the puppy sleeping on her other side as she went to pet it gently.

She sighs and lays back down. She didn’t feel like getting out of bed. She didn’t feel like going through the closet to find a blanket or walk on the cold floor to turn up to heat, in the living room. Her motivation to move was not high. She’ll just suffer for a few more hours as she turned her back against Jungkook.

At the same time, Jungkook had woken up, feeling her move around, noticing her shivering every now and then.

‘Is she cold?’ He pondered. After watching her shiver again, his thoughts were answered. ‘Should I…?’ he looked at the distance between them. Maybe he could warm her up by spooning. But would she get upset? Take it the wrong way?

Negative outcomes weighed against his positive thoughts as he worried about what her reaction might be. He didn’t want her to freeze, so after thinking, he went with his gut, draping his arm around her stomach.

Jen felt his warm arm wrap around her waist and pull her back against his chest. His body heat radiated against her as a sigh of content escapes her lips. How was he so warm? He was like a personal heater.

Taking her sigh as a good sign, he murmurs with his voice still filled with sleep, “Better?”

“Tremendously better.”
