After arriving in Malaysia, the members walk to the pool in morning for their set of photos. Sporting a black high neck swim top, black swim shorts and flip flops, Jennie happily walks with J-Hope, who kept raving about her muscles.

“Jennie, you’re getting more muscular! What has Jungkookie been teaching you?” He exclaims, squishing her toned arms.

She laughs at how baffled he looked. “What? We’ve been working out together for a long time.”

“Do you see this, Jimin!?”

Jimin giggles in the background and agrees with him. “She’s getting stronger, that’s a fact. But her arms are not better than mine~!”

Miss Bangtan snorts at his silly comment and turns her attention back to J-Hope. “Do I really look stronger?” She asks.

“Tremendously! What will ARMY think when they see your arms?” J-Hope exclaims.

“And don’t forget those developing abs. Helped by yours truly.” Jungkook calls out, loud and proud with a smug look on his face. “97 Liners are getting stronger every day. Hyung, get with the program.”

Jen lets out a laugh when Jimin and J-Hope begin complaining to the Golden Maknae. “And the heat is on.” She puts her sunglasses on, feeling her colored skin warm up quickly from the searing heat of the sun.

After the group and pair photos, Jen settled for relaxing on a lounge chair at pool side, occasionally giggling at Suga’s enthusiasm for their vacation. He looked so cute bouncing up and down on his chair.

“I think this is the best day since debut. I can’t stop smiling.” He rejoiced.

“That’s a good thing.” Jennie’s voice was heard in the background while the camera filmed him

“If it weren’t for the shooting, I would put them all in the water by now.” Jin laughs.

Jen chilled on her chair while the other members played around near the pool. Jimin had found himself leaping in the pool while the photographer snapped away. Jin followed suit and soon after, they were joined by Jungkook and J-Hope, goofing around in the water.
The four boys began to observe Suga, Jennie and Rapmon at pool side and pondered who to go after first to place in the pool.

‘Their eyes are moving fast. Beep beep, target located!’

Jungkook had whispered in Jin’s ear to suggest going after Suga first. The four mischievous members commenced their plan as they walk out of the pool. J-Hope grabs a hold of Suga’s ankles while Jimin grabs a hold of his arms. Jin and Jungkook join in to aid in dragging the rapper into the pool. Suga laughs at his fate and so does the staff and the rest of the members.

Jen watches them goof around as she shook her head in amusement. ‘I high-key hope they aren’t planning on going after me next.’ She had hoped they would spare her. She watched Rap Monster swiftly put himself in the water before the members could go after him. Seems like he got the hint and might as well accept his fate.

Jimin and V turn their attention to the last member who has yet to get in the water and yells, “Woooooooo!” as they begin to slowly walk out of the pool to go after Miss Bangtan.

“Hahaha, no. No, go away. No!” She begs as her laughs get louder once Jimin grabs her legs while V grabs her arms. “Guys!”

“Time for a swim, Ennie!” V giggles.

“One…two…three!” The 95 Liners countdown, swinging her body back and forth. She lets out a high pitched yelp as she’s tossed into the pool. A loud chorus of cheers was heard by the members while Jimin and V jump back in the pool.

Swimming up to the surface, Jen takes out her bun and places her hair tie on her wrist. “Ya’ll gonna pay for that, I hope you know what you got yourselves into.” She calls them out and was met with giggles from them. “I’m deadass. Watch your back.” She playfully threatens.
After taking group pool photos, Jen floats on her back in the pool before turning her attention to Jungkook putting on a swim mask.

“This is the same size as my nose. It fits me perfectly.” He says on camera and shows Jen what he looked like with the mask on.

“Wow, it really is the exact size of your nose. That thing is huge on your face, Kook.” She lets out a chuckle.

“Hey, you’re really ugly.” Suga sincerely acknowledges the Golden Maknae. “You look like Squidward.”

“Jeez, Suga!” She exclaims.

“What? It’s true.” The Daegu rapper shrugs.

Afterwards, Jennie hung around V for a while and he showed off his swim goggles to her because he thought he looked funny in them. Suddenly, he starts laughing out of nowhere because of them.

“Wh-what-is so funny?” She asks, laughing with him because his laughter was infectious. Once he takes the goggles off, his strap came loose and he looked baffled at what he had done. Jennie stares at him in disbelief and points to the broken strap. “How!?”

Jimin walked over to them to see what they were going on about and noticed V fake crying. “Why are you crying?” He asks in confusion.

“He broke one of the straps. Hold on, I got it. Give it here.” Jen took the goggles and started to fix them. After a minute, they were good as new and she handed them back to him.
“You did it! Thank you, Ennie!” V cups her face, placing a big kiss on her forehead.

“You’re very welcome.” She chuckles. Her chuckling ended up in a fit of giggles when he gave her two extra kisses on both cheeks due to his excitement that his goggles were fixed.

V, Jimin and J-Hope started to perform part of I Need U on top of the deck while they still had freetime. “Let me join!” Jennie made her way to them and gets helped up by Hobi. “Five, six, seven, eight!” She starts off dancing the chorus with the guys following her. But when she went down for the bodyroll, she loses her balance and falls down with V.

She laughs at her clumsiness while laying on her back while V rolled around. Jungkook joined them soon after and they all danced around, acting silly. Out of nowhere, V roughly shoves Jimin into the water and everyone starts cracking up.

“Oh no!” She exclaims when he shoves Jungkook into the water, next. Her laughter was short lived when V had turned his focus to her.

“W-wait I thought we were friends! Tae!” She yelps as she almost loses her balance, putting her hands in front of her for some type of defense. She intertwines her fingers with his as he attempts to push her into the pool, giggling at her struggles.

Fortunately, Hobi comes to her rescue by grabbing her away from him. He gets in front of her and gets into a fighting stance with the 95 Liner, to fight on her behalf. But then, Jungkook gets back up from getting shoved in the pool and goes straight after V.

“Uh oh, you done it now.” Jen teases, anticipating his punishment.

V starts to apologize profusely while nervously laughing as he tries to back away from the Golden Maknae. Eventually, Jimin and Jungkook toss him into the pool as another round of laughter erupted.

“Hey!” She feels two pairs of hands on her back as she falls right into the water. Swimming up, she detected Hobi and Jungkook laughing at her. “Oh, it’s like that huh?” She swiftly grabs a hold of Hobi’s ankles, causing him to fall on his back. He shrieks and holds onto Jungkook and Jimin who try to pull him back.

“How is she so strong!? Don’t let her get me, do something!” Hobi yells. He screams when she finally pulls him in the water. “No! No! Jennie, no-“

His begs were silenced as she tries to drown him for revenge, causing a play fight between the two. Hobi with no avail since her persistence was no match for his escape skills.

“Get her!” Jungkook shouts and jumps in with Jimin. They attempt to grab her but she held a death grip, wrapping her arms and legs around the Sunshine of BTS. Hobi’s loud sound effects and yelling only made the situation funnier.

‘At The Zoo’
After having fun at the pool, the members get ready for their second photo shoot, heading to the zoo. The members sat on the bus for a ride to the zoo.

Jungkook with his camera turns to Jennie who sat across from him. “Say cheese!”

She poses for him, putting up a peace sign and her trademark grin as he snapped away. Meanwhile, V expresses his sadness when he found out he can’t ride an elephant with a song in front of the bus.

When they arrive, they ride on the train. Jen had fanned herself with her paper fan, due to the humidity and smell of the zoo. She sat with V while he announced various animals for J-Hope to impersonate.

“Let’s do a chick.” V announces

“Cheep, cheep.” Hobi eagerly answers.

“Cow.”

“Moo.”

“Lamb.”

“Meh!” He screeches

“Lion.”

“J…J-Hope!” Jimin speaks.

“ARGHH!” Hobi yells, causing the members to laugh.

As they ride the train they spot various animals until they arrive at the Elephant Cage. Jungkook is quick to whip out his camera to snap pictures. “Wow, they’re huge.” Jen murmurs in awe as she walks over to look at the elephants. She snickers when Jimin and Jin shriek when the elephant roars unexpectedly. “You good?”

“Whoa! I was really freaked out.” Jin exclaims. “I’ve never seen an elephant shout. I’ve been around Seoul Grand Park for more than 10 years, and never seen elephants roar.”

“You see something new every day.”

“Indeed. That was something else…wow…”

The next animal the members see are orangutans. They toss apple slices at them while watching them reach out and pick them up. The next destination is a petting zoo where they can touch the baby elephants. “Aw! Look at how cute it is!” Jennie joyfully makes her way to one of the baby elephants, eagerly petting its trunk. “Hi! You’re so cute.”

Following that, the members proceed to see a snake, getting a chance to pet and take a picture with it. Jen was paired with Hobi, since they were the last ones while the rest of the members calmly took photos with the snakes around them.

“J-Hope and Jennie!” Their names were announced.

Noticing his body tense, Jen places a reassuring hand on his shoulder as he glances at her with a terrified expression. “Relax. It’s going to be okay, I promise. It’ll be over before you know it.”

They each sit in their seats. Jennie watches as he screams in horror when the trainer attempts to place the big snake over his shoulders. “J-Hope! It’s okay!” She laughs with the rest of the members. His reaction was priceless.

‘Baffled, the trainer tries to calm down J-Hope who is even more baffled.’

Meanwhile, Jennie gets her snake placed over her shoulders. It felt heavy and its scaly skin felt strong. She loosened up her body by giving herself words of encouragement.

“Keep a cool head. It’s just a snake. It won’t hurt you. Breathe, girl, breathe.” She feels it slowly moving around her shoulders as she poses for the photos. Meanwhile, J-Hope was a hot mess and looked like he was about to cry because he was so terrified.

“Ah! This doesn’t feel right.” He cringes.

With Jennie, the snake starts to move and its head goes near her face. She turns her head to the side and meets to snake’s look. It sticks out its tongue briefly and her stomach drops from its sudden actions. After some deep breaths, she started to speak to it.

“Well, hello to you too, Ms. Snake. I’m surprised I didn’t freak out yet.” She turns to J-Hope, whose face had gone pale when the snake’s other half of its body laid on his lap. “Oh Lord…he’s about to pass out from petrification. Hey, you good buddy? Don’t pass out on me.”

“Ha-ha-ha!” Jin’s signature laugh was heard as he continued to watch J-Hope’s suffering.

Afterwards, J-Hope finally posed for his photos and both him and Jennie got their snakes taken from them. “Hey, that wasn’t so bad. It’s cool. It was nothing. Really nothing.” He reassures, claiming it was a piece of cake.

“Oh really?” Jennie sarcastically asks. After they leave the snakes, they check out the cute parrot and feed it sunflower seeds. Sitting in a seat, Jennie has the bird on her arm and looks at it with a smile, before professionally taking her photos with it.
After the day at the zoo, the members head to their rooms and were sat down for an interview on their day.

‘How did it feel to arrive at Kota Kinabalu airport?’

“I felt so welcomed! Beautiful place. I love the hot weather.” Jen beams. “I’m glad I packed right for the weather. We received necklaces once we arrived. It was really cool. I would love to learn more about their culture and traditions. Also, try their food.”

‘How did it feel when you arrived at your resort?’

“Um! Is this place real!? I need to turn up here. What I need to do is bring my family here, one day. It’s a wonderful vacation spot. The pictures I’ve seen of this place doesn’t do it justice.”

‘Did you have fun at your 1st location, the swimming pool?’

“Oh, you already know I did. Cooling down with the sun beaming down on you, it was worth it. Although I still feel like I haven’t gotten my revenge on the guys shoving me in the pool…I must plot their deaths. I think BTS will have 4 members remaining soon, muahahaha! Ah, I’m kidding. I love them so much. You know, it’s been a long time since I’ve had that much fun in the pool. I stayed in the pool for so long that I became a prune.”

‘How did you like your 2nd location, the zoo?’

“Ha! The highlight of that trip was J-Hope’s reaction towards the snake, hahaha. Oh, poor J-Hope.”

‘What are your goals for tomorrow’s shoot?’

“Look fabulous and take amazing photos. I’m looking forward to our next destination, I know it’s going to be a great place to shoot. I just hope Suga, Rapmon and Jin will be active tomorrow! They are such old timers, gosh.” She starts clapping her hands. “Stop sitting around, we are in Malaysia! BEAUTIFUL MALAYSIA! LIVE! LET’S LIVE! V and I need to get them to move around more. Rapmon particularly. He always wants to listen to his music, let’s have fun while we’re in Malaysia.”

“Those two were talking about me, weren’t they?” Rapmon asks in his interview. “Aish, these kids. Tomorrow, I won’t be like that. I might be.” He lets out a laugh. “But I’ll try not to. Dear younger ones, if I’m excited it’ll be you who are tired. Because once I have fun, I can’t control myself. So, it’s better that I’m calm. If I’m excited, I can dump all of you in water.”

“He said what!?” Jennie questions the interviewer, putting her hair in a bun.

After their day, BTS and the staff go to dinner. V and J-Hope were on stage dancing around, while the members laugh. Suga starts bouncing up in down in his seat with his mouth open, laughing out loud because their dancing was too much. Jen had joined them and soon a professional dancer started teaching them basic steps to a dance. She was complimented that she learns fast while V and J-Hope struggled briefly with what the dancer was trying to do.

She had asked the dancer questions about the dance and briefly chatted about the culture. Her interest had heightened once she saw the dancer perform.

---

At night, in their room, the members show off their luggage on camera. Jennie roomed with Rap Monster and she watched in the background as he showed off various hats, a book, fan letters, and other items.

“Okay, let’s check out my bag.” She opens her small gray suitcase. With no surprise, it was straight up Nike apparel. “Let’s see…Nike sunglasses, Nike hats, Nike shirts, my favorite, lucky white Nike sneakers...”

“What the- Nie Nie, do you mean to tell me you have all Nike in your bag?” Rap Monster exclaims, staring at her suitcase in disbelief.

“These earrings aren’t Nike.” She points out.

“What are we going to do with this one?” He asks on camera, shaking his head.

“What? This is my favorite brand!”

“Least we know Nie Nie is one of the easiest to shop for when it comes to gifts. Nike gift cards, Nike sneakers. Easy person to shop for. Oh and smarties, too.”

After their banter, she sits with him at the desk, opening her notebook. “Time for our picture journal!” She announces to the camera sitting on the desk, recording them. She starts to draw stick figure pictures of herself and the members in the pool. “I’m not much of a drawer. I love to color though.”


“Oh really?” Rapmon asks with interest.

“Uh huh. Coloring is my favorite thing to do. I bring adult coloring books with me to ease my stress. You should see the pictures.”

“Do you have the coloring book with you now?”

“Yeah, it’s in my bag.” She gets off her seat to get it and shows him a random page in the book.

“Wow. This is really good, Nie Nie.”

“You think so? It’s just random coloring. And I didn’t color outside the lines this time.” She pats herself on the back. After chatting about coloring, they go back to drawing. “I gotta draw Hobi being scared of the snake.” She chuckles.

“That was priceless. I’ll never forget his face.” He shares a laugh with her. “I’m not good at drawing but I’ll make this a rough drawing.” He quickly writes down his summary of the day. “The end.” He gets up and places his pen down, heading to bed.

Jen let out a light chuckle at how quick he finished and continued to write. After she was done, she decided to visit Jungkook and Tae’s room, while the cameras were done filming for the day. Knocking on the door, Tae instantly opens it.

“Hey, hey!” She greets, walking in his room.

“Ennie! What brings you here?” He brings her in for a tight hug, cheek against cheek.

“I came to be nosy and see how you two were doing. I’m not quite ready to sleep, so decided to let Joonie sleep in peace while I chill with you guys.”

“Is he snoring loudly?” Jungkook asks from his bed, in his white shirt and shorts.

“Not yet. He wasn’t fully asleep when I left. Only resting in his bed, on his phone. You know how he’s always on his phone.” She makes herself comfortable on Tae’s bed. She had brought nail polish to paint her nails and toes while she continued to chat with Kook and Tae. Taehyung had offered to take over with painting the rest of her nails since she had finished her toes.

“What do you think we’re doing tomorrow?” Tae asks.

“I dunno but I hope it’s something funner than today.” Jungkook anticipates.

“I hope it has something to do with water. I miss swimming.” Jen adds.

The three of them agreed to watch a movie in the room until they got sleepy. Before she knew it, after 30 minutes passed, Jen found herself asleep on Tae’s bed. The two members didn’t notice until another 30 minutes had passed.

“Ennie?” Taehyung turns to see her knocked out while laying down next to him. “Jungkook, I think she fell asleep.”

“She did? She must’ve been really tired.” Jungkook briefly watches her sleeping peacefully. He felt a sharp pang of jealousy as he watched Taehyung gently placing a pillow under her head and pulling the covers on top of her. “You know she could just stay in my bed.”

“Ah, it’s okay. She already fell asleep on mine. Might as well let her stay in here.” Taehyung replies, unaware at Jungkook’s growing envy. Tae had gotten under the covers too and held her close, getting ready to fall asleep next to her.

Jungkook had grumbled to himself, feeling his annoyance heighten. He wished that she fell asleep in his bed so he could cuddle with her. Having enough, he decided to ‘accidentally’ turn the volume up too loud from the TV to wake her.

“Oh crap, sorry Hyung! Must’ve sat on the remote.” He quickly turns it down and noticed Jennie waking up from her slumber from the loud disruption. Once Jungkook explained what happened to her, she didn’t get mad at him for waking her up.

“I should get back to my room. I’ll see you two tomorrow.” She gets off Tae’s bed.

“Night, night Ennie! Sweet dreams!” Taehyung happily says his goodbyes.

“You could just sleep in my bed. You don’t have to leave. Tae probably sleeps too wild for you, anyway.” Jungkook suggests.

“I don’t sleep that badly!” Tae defends himself.

“Ah, it’s fine. Nighty night, guys.” She heads back to her room.

Jungkook turned the TV off and prepared for bed, still upset that she left and didn’t get the chance to cuddle like Tae had briefly done.

The next morning, Jennie and Rapmon were already prepared for their next outing but Jen couldn’t seem to find her sunglasses. She looked high and low and finally decided to ask Rap Monster about it.

“Joon, you see my sunglasses?” She asks, going through her belongings.

“Uh…you mean these?” He sheepishly reveals the broken pair.

She widens her eyes and throws her arms up in the air. “What the hell, happened!?”
“I accidentally sat on them. I’m sorry! I’ll buy you another pair!”

“They were Nike!” She shouts.

“Ah, I knew you’d say that. Don’t yell! I got you with a new pair, I promise!”

“You’re lucky I brought another pair with me just in case.”

“Let’s hope I don’t break that one too.”

After their shenanigans, the members head to Manukan Island. As the members walked to the boat, trying to avoid the sun, Jin walks with Jennie. “Sweetie, did you put on sunscreen?” He asks.

“Yeah, I did.”

“Put another coat of sunscreen, for extra protection.” He hands her the bottle.

“Jin, I’m fine.” She reassures him.

“Protect your skin!” He demands, surprising her with his demanding tone. The Maknae line laughs at her getting lectured by their oldest Hyung. She sighs and puts another batch of sunscreen on herself for Jin’s ‘Extra protection’. Jin decided to help her by rubbing in the sunscreen on her arms. “Did you put sunscreen on your face?”

“Yes, mom.”

“Put another coat on.” He squirts a small portion of sunscreen in his hands, rubbing them together as she takes her sunglasses off so he could moisturize her face.

“I think it’s rubbed in enough!” She exclaims after a long period of time.

“I’ll be the judge of that. Are those sunglasses protecting your eyes from the sun?”

“Yes!”

“Are you sure? Do we need to buy you another pair? I know they’re Nike sunglasses but are they really protecting your eyes?”

“Jin, for the love of smarties, I’m good!”

“Good, good. I’m happy. I don’t want you to get any sunburns.”

On the boat, the members put on their life jackets and Jennie sat next to Jimin. As the boat began to move, their hair blew furiously in the wind, while Suga and J-Hope excitedly yell, “Yayayayayayayaya.”

“OH YEAH!”

Jimin and Jennie burst out in laughter from Jungkook’s sudden yell in English.

After a brief ride, they arrive on Manukan Island to have a session of taking photos. Afterwards, Jennie decided to relax on a hammock, but Jimin decided to barge in with a camera, relaxing right next to her.

“Yo, yo, yo! She grins and waves at his camera.

“Yeah~! Guys, this is Manukan Island of Kota Kinabalu. Isn’t this amazing, Jennie?”

“Very. It’s lit!”

“Let’s capture this on camera.” He shows off the scenery of the beach. “Jesus, this is fine!”
“It feels even hotter than yesterday.”

“Fine weather, though!”

“Yeah, I can’t complain.”

“The sea is great, we’re great, let’s sleep!”

“I was here first, find another hammock.” She tries to push him off.

“It can fit two people!”

“Fine!” She gets comfortable. “Don’t accidentally make me fall off this.”

“I’ll sing you a lullaby to make you go to sleep faster! Hush, little baby. Don’t you cry.”

“Sthap~!”

“Hehehehehehe!” He giggles loudly before the photographer comes over so they can take pictures together, and then individually in the hammock.

After their photos, Jen stands, watching Jimin get off the hammock. “In here, I think my tone is more relaxed.” He says.

“It is. I love your melanin. It’s nice and natural. Don’t be ashamed for getting tanned, Chim Chim.” She adds as they head over to Jin to snap photos with him on the Hammock.

She absolutely hated the whitewashing people do in photos. She noticed that recently her photos were getting white washed and she wasn’t too happy. There wasn’t anything wrong with colored skin. People need to stop making these K-Pop idols look like a bunch of ghosts.
And it was sad that she saw such a huge difference from a natural photo to a white washed photo of herself and the rest of the members. And deep down it hurt her to hear the members feeling bad that they got tanned and wondered if she should confront them about it one day.

Later, the members take photos walking on the beach together. And even picked up Jennie as she laid across their arms with a big grin on her face to conclude that area’s photoshoot.

‘Extreme Sports’
“Time to get EXTREME! YEAH BOY!” Jennie yells excitedly. J-Hope stares at her with fear. He was freaked out and was not a fan of things like this. “J-Hope, you’re going to be fine. It’s fun.” She grabs a hold of his hands and gives them a gentle squeeze.

“First the snake, now this? I don’t think I’m going to make it.” He shakes his head.

“If you fall from here, a real shark can come and bite you.” Rap Monster points out when they’re all seated.

“Now is not the time!” Jennie yells. No way in hell she wanted to think about sharks attacking. She’d like to stay shark free.

“Yeah, don’t talk about sharks, it’s scary.” Jin adds.

“I read the news about people who got bitten while riding banana boats.” Rap Monster informs.

“Well, I pray that we will not get bitten. I actually got stung by a jellyfish before.”

“Oh man, really? That must’ve hurt like hell.” Rapmon comments surprised at her statement.

“Oh yeah. It was terrible. It happened when I was younger. Before I came to Korea, but I will never forget that day. It took almost two weeks to heal. I got stung on my foot when I was swimming.”

“Hopefully we won’t have to worry about any jellyfish. When the shark comes, pretend to be asleep, ok?” Rapmon advises.

“Shark? That’s for bears.” Jin corrects him

“Ah, then pretend to be dead! Don’t pretend to be asleep.”

“Um, I don’t think that is going to work.” Jennie shakes her head.

After they come across the banana boat, they gear up with their safety equipment. Jennie was aided on to the banana boat, sitting behind Rap Monster. But once J-Hope tries to get on the boat, he starts to slip, causing the staff members to panic. “Guys, grab J-Hope!”

A chorus of panicked screams was heard from the staff members as he starts to fly into the air while the banana boat shifts away from the boat he was trying to get off of. The rest of the members laughed with him.

“I cannot! This has not been his day, has it?” Jennie mentions with amusement.

“I want to die! I’m not doing this! No!” He yells over everyone’s laughter. “I’m not doing this!”

Once he’s safely on the boat, the members ride across the ocean. “Woo!” Jennie yells as they go faster, bouncing up and down with the waves. Soon after, they were dumped off the banana boat.

“Ugh, I forgot how salty ocean water is.” Jennie spits out an accidental mouthful and coughs. She swims back to the boat and gets helped up by the staff members.

After getting situated, the members prepare for the next activity. Parasailing. “Jennie, you wanna do this with me?” Jungkook speaks up before anyone else could ask her.

“Yeah, sure! Let’s do this.” She happily agrees.

The two of them are seated and strapped up before slowly backing away and rising up in the air. Jungkook held onto the camera to show off the landscape as they noticed the rope getting higher. The butterflies in Jen’s stomach immediately went away as she looks around in amazement.

“Wow! Would look at that!” She looks around at how blue the ocean looked and the clear blue sky. “The boat looks so small from up here.”

“I know! The weather is really good, isn’t it?”

“I love it. I can’t even think of anything right now, this whole scene right here just makes me speechless.”

“I never knew the sea could be this large. I can’t see the end of it.”

Jungkook glanced over at Jennie with a smile as he watched her looking at her surroundings, taking everything in. Soon after she meets his gaze and responds with a smile.
“Thanks for doing this with me. This is breathtaking.” He says softly.

“Thanks for asking me to join you.”

Before they knew it, the ride was over and it would be an experience they’ll never forget.

---

Later that day, Jennie got permission to do some shopping for a short amount of time and went with Jin to a local store. She wanted to buy some souvenirs to send her family and to keep for herself. Splitting up with Jin, she browsed around. She had checked out key chains, hats, pens, and other gifts in the store.

Meanwhile, a 15-year-old girl had been nervously glancing at Jennie ever since she saw her walk in. Jen had felt eyes on her and decided to turn around to see who kept staring at her.
The girl looked African American with her big afro styled with a cute headband. Jennie gave her a small smile and went back to her shopping. She kept browsing around, waiting for the fan to speak up to her. She knew it was a fan because of the way she acted around her. She knew the fan really wanted to talk to her but was just nervous. Jennie wished that her fans wouldn’t be so intimidated to approach her.

Ten minutes later, Jen had picked out the items she wanted to buy and caught eyes with the girl for the 6th time. “Everyone always stares. Speak, girl! I don’t bite.” Jen teases her. The fan let out a giggle at her reaction and finally decided to approach her.
“I’m sorry, but are you Jennie from BTS?” The girl finally asked. The girl definitely looked American and seemed to be vacationing in the area too, and luck had been on her side to be in the same store as a BTS member.

“In the flesh. Hiya!” She smiles brightly at the young fan.

“Oh my God, I love you so much! I’m sorry for bothering you, I know you’re probably busy. I’m shopping with my family and my little brother has a big crush on you. You’re my bias and you’re his bias wrecker in the group.”

“Aw, really? Thank you! Gosh, my mood just boosted. You got me all emotional.” She shares a laugh with the girl.

“I haven’t been a fan of BTS since day one, unfortunately. But I started to find out about you guys during the I Need U era. I still feel bad that I missed so much when you first debuted. Some ARMY can be a little mean about being fans longer than others.”

“Hey, it doesn’t matter if you just became a fan or been here since day one. You’re still an ARMY and I know that you have such strong support for us. So please don’t feel discouraged. We appreciate the support from all our fans. From day one and who just became a fan today and so on. We love all our fans. No one is superior just because they’ve been a fan longer than others.”

“That just made me feel a whole lot better. Thanks for the kind words! I get so happy when I see you perform because I always tell my parents that there’s someone that looks like me in the K-Pop industry.” The girl explains as Jen’s eyes soften at her words. “Your hair and skin are just like mine. And you embrace your skin color, you never try to lighten it up for K-Pop and I admire that. It makes me feel good about myself. When I see your confidence in your skin and hair, it motivates me to love myself more. Thank you for everything you’ve done in BTS. Thanks for breaking boundaries and being a positive role model for me. I look up to you. Sometimes I can’t believe you’re real.”

Jen exhales sharply as she felt her eyes water. “Damn girl. I dunno where these tears are coming from.” She wipes her developing tears. “Thank you…I never knew that I had that impact on the fans. Wow.”

“I usually get teased for my big hair. But I don’t want to change how I look just because people don’t like it. I love my hair and I want to wear it how I want it. No matter what haters think.”

“And continue to do that. You’re a beautiful girl. Got that beautiful melanin, pretty face and your hair is poppin’? Girl! Everybody better watch out. You’re slaying! Be proud of who you are and never forget your roots.”

“It’s Jennie!” A boyish voice was heard.

“And that’s my obnoxious little brother.” The girl sighs.

Jennie chuckles at her reaction and kneels down while the 8-year-old boy runs into her inviting arms.

“Hi!” She sweetly greets, hugging him tightly.

“You are so pretty.” The boy shyly tells her.

“Now you’re getting shy?” The girl teases her little brother.

“Haha, you’re sweeter than smarties.” Jen ruffles his hair. “Thanks, little man. Oh snap, is that a Captain America shirt?”

“Uh huh!” He shows it off.

“Did you know that is my favorite superhero?”

“Really!?” His eyes brighten.

“Yeah! He’s way better than Iron Man. Just don’t tell Jungkook that. He’ll get in his feelings.” She teases as they share a laugh.

“Do you mind if we take a selfie? I know you have things to do, we won’t keep you long.” The girl requests.

“Yeah, of course! Bring it in.” She takes a couple photos with the siblings.

“Thank you so much! I hope you and the rest of the members stay well rested.”

“Thank you. And you enjoy the rest of your vacation! And thank you for what you said to me. I have so many reasons why ARMY is the best and this is clearly one of them.”

“Well, I have many reasons that you are my bias. You being real, staying all natural, loving your skin and just being true to yourself is one of many reasons why I love you. Have a great vacation with the members.” The girl leaves with her brother.

That entire conversation made Jen’s heart soar. Words like that just made her feel so appreciated.

After another photoshoot in a suite room, the members hold microphones with their names on them. J-Hope stood in front of the camera to become an MC for the night. “I’m J-Hope. Today we went to an island called Manukan. I wonder how the members felt about it. So, I’m going to go around and ask them myself.”

After interviewing Jungkook and Jin, J-Hope heads over to Jennie. “Here we have Miss Bangtan, on her cell phone playing a game.” He announces, sitting next to her on the couch.
“Hello, hello!” She waves. “What can I do for you, J-Hope?”

“I want to talk about Manukan.”

“Manukan.” She nods, gesturing him to go on.

“I wanted to know how you felt.”

“I wish we could have stayed longer. Being able to do all those activities, the scenery, everything, it was so breathtaking. My favorite part would have to be the parasailing. It was my first time doing something like that. I’m enjoying trying new things here.”

During the last night of the vacation, Jennie went off to the beach, checking out the sunset. She walked along the beach, near the water, as her feet felt warm against the hot sand. She stretched out her arms as she watches various tourists around doing their activities with their friends and family. She briefly saw a young couple walk by, holding hands.

“So cute.” She turns her attention back to the ocean, standing in front of it as she observed the purple and orange sky while the sun was setting. This vacation was fun from start to finish, and she honestly didn’t want to leave yet. She was going to miss this place and hoped to come back one day.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she feels a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist, pulling her against a chest. She smiles and looks down at the arms. “Who is hugging me?” She lets out a chuckle and slowly turns her head, revealing that Jungkook was the one hugging her. He smiles down at her. “Interesting way to say hi. You never hug me like this. But keep doing it. It feels nice.”

“Good. What are you doing out here alone?”

“Wanted to check out the sunset. I never seen anything like this before.”

“I’ll join you.” He releases her and they start walking on the beach together. “We're finally walking on the beach!"

"Long overdue!"

“Next we gotta walk on the beach in America.”

“Korea too!”

“How about everywhere we go when we get the chance?”

“Sounds like a plan. Now, time to do something even since you came here!” She shoves him with all her strength, causing him to lose his balance and fall near the water. She lets out a loud laugh and makes a run for it, never looking back.

Soaked, Jungkook gets back on his feet, sprinting right after her. There was no way she was going to get away with what she had done. The sound of her laughter got louder as he found himself getting closer and closer. Once she looked back, she let out a yell in surprise and tried to run faster. But the Golden Maknae was better and caught her instantly.

Hoisting her up over his shoulder, he marches over to the water, ignoring her pleas. He tosses her right into the water so she could get soaked just like him. Laughing at her suffering, he attempts to walk away but was caught when she jumped on his back, making him fall down in the water.

After their play fighting, Jungkook let her stay on his back as he gave her a piggyback ride while he walked around the beach with her, casually chatting about the latest antics of the members.

The next morning, the members were back on the airplane, getting into their seats. Jungkook eagerly wanted to sit with Jennie this time since he didn’t get the chance to on the airplane trip to Kota Kinabalu. With a sharp eye, Jimin watched Jungkook’s facial expression change into irritation when he saw that he was sitting in the middle while Jen sat by the window. After getting enough amusement from Jungkook’s jealousy, he decided to switch spots with him. There was an empty seat next to Jimin, so he moved there, while Jungkook sat in the middle, next to Jen and Jimin.

His bunny smile appeared ten times wider, while Jimin giggled at him. Jen took out her phone and placed an earbud in her ear. She offered one to Jungkook as he happily accepts it, getting comfortable.

Pressing shuffle, It Won’t Stop by Sevyn Streeter featuring Chris Brown plays. With Sevyn Streeter being one of Jennie’s favorite artists, and Jungkook being a fan of Chris Brown’s music, the both of them expressed how much they enjoyed one of their favorite artists together in a song.

I love when you pulling up in your jeep
Bumping all your beats
Js on
With your shades on
Just to bring me something to eat
You the man up in these streets
But when it comes to my heart
That don't mean a thing no oh

As they listened to the song, Jennie looked out at the window while Jungkook was on his phone, playing one of his random games.

Baby hop in my ride
Ooh it's hot as hell outside
Got the top down
With the doors closed
My hand upon your thigh
Drive slow ooh
Take your time
Every little thing you do got me feeling some type of way (way)
When you give me that thunder you make my summer rain
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Everyday, everyday

“And it won’t stop. Boom, boom, ooooohhhhhh.” The two of them simultaneously start to sing as their voices effortlessly blended together in a melodic tone. Surprised to hear the other singing, they glance at each other and smile. “And it won’t stop. Boom, boom, ooooohhhh. With every single part of me, my love for you is constantly. Forever and ever on repeat, on repeat. And it won’t stop. Oh, oh, ooooooohhhhh.”

They end sharing a laugh. “I couldn’t resist. I love this song.” She mentions.

“We should cover this.” He suggests.

“We should.”

“Before this year is over.”

“I’m down.”

Jungkook smiles softly when she lays her head on his shoulder they continue to listen to the song. He lays his head on top of hers as they both rest their eyes, enjoying each other’s company and music.

15 minutes later, Yoongi points out the Maknaes sleeping on each other. “Would you look at that…” He speaks up, amused. Jungkook’s mouth was open a little while Jennie’s lips were parted, sleeping soundly.

“Taking pictures for blackmail.” Jimin giggles and sneaks a few photos. Since he was sitting next to the sleeping duo, he takes a goofy selfie of them, making sure to be able to post it on their Twitter account. “They’re going to kill us when they wake up.”

Taehyung tried his hardest not to giggle so loud as he switched seats with Jimin to snap a silly selfie of himself with them. The selfie consisted of Tae almost about to put his finger in Jungkook’s nose.

“Your funeral gentlemen.” Namjoon chuckles.

‘Golden Maknae and Dauntless Maknae fell asleep. Time to mess with them! I hope they don’t kill us when they find out. Kekeke.’ Jimin posts the photos on their Twitter just before they fly up in the air to go back home
