On a warm Saturday morning, Jennie invited Namjoon out to hang with her. He offered to go to a local café for breakfast and she agreed, wanting to spend more time with him. Namjoon would always be stuck in his studio or with his headphones in, on his phone, so she was glad she was able to go out with him for the time being.

The two found themselves sitting outside, on the balcony. With their plates of food in front of them, Namjoon watches her in amusement as she puts syrup on her chocolate pancakes.

“All that sugar.” He lets out a low chuckle.

“I’m still a kid at heart, let me live.” She replies and takes a big bite.

“I intend to. Make sure you drink water so you won’t get a sugar headache. You remember last time?”

“It was all for a good cause.”

“The amount of complaining you did the last time said otherwise.” He quips, causing her to roll her eyes.

“Oh hush.”

“I made sure not to get the pineapple, so you won’t have another allergic reaction, by the way.” He informs, gesturing to the bowl of fruit for them to share.

Jen smiles gratefully and nods. “Thanks, I appreciate it. Nice bare face, by the way. You look great without the makeup we wear on stage.”

“Ah, I’m ugly, don’t lie.” He shakes his head.

There he goes again. She wished he could see what she perceived whenever she saw him. Jen shakes her head and points at him. “You, my friend, need to stop calling yourself ugly. I want you to cut that out. Like right now. You’re handsome. And I get to see your dimples, so hurray!”

Her enthusiasm for his dimples prompted him to smile, which showed them off. “I love those dimples. They’re so cute.” She goes on.

“Ah, you’re gonna make me flustered.” He covers his face shyly for a moment.
She laughs softly. “I just want to see you smile.”

She was aware that he gets criticized often as of late. And she wished that he got credit where it was due.

“It sucks you get criticized but I love how you accept your mistakes and learn from them. We all mess up at times. But we learn from them. So, don’t beat yourself up, ‘ight? If you say anything out of line to me, I’ll let you know, believe that. And I see that you’re working harder. And I hope you know that you are appreciated and that I see how much you are improving. Your dancing gets better as we go through each comeback. I don’t say this often but I always think about it and you deserve a lot of credit for what you do for us. When I get there, I want to be able to make meaningful lyrics like you. You enhance me, Namjoon.” She praises. “You have some deep, meaningful lyrics. The music you make is fire. It’s crazy that you’re underappreciated. Having you as a leader is great.”

Her statement made him smile brightly and he felt good about himself. Being a leader is tough. A lot of expectations. But her words influenced him greatly.

“And I’m not one of the most popular members of the group. Some don’t even want to include me as being a part of the Maknae line, and just want to support 3 out of 4.” She adds. “But you know? I don’t even care anymore about what these negative people say. Because they aren’t real fans if they can’t support each member. That’s not a real fan. That’s not a fan in general. A fan of a group should support everyone. Not exclude one, two, or three or more. Don’t let anyone take away your happiness. Bangtan wouldn’t be how it is today if it wasn’t for you. We all bring something unique to the group and if one of us wasn’t around, it just wouldn’t be the same.”

She goes on to ramble as she grabs his hand. “You have no idea how precious you are to me, Namjoon. Thank you for being a great leader. No matter how tired you are, you are always there for us. And thank you for taking such good care of me since I came here. It was such a huge transition to move to Korea but speaking English with you and learning the ropes here, I know that I’m going to be all right. Although I’m the youngest and the female of the group I want to be there for all of you guys. And I want to take care of you all. You guys take care of me, I want to do the same.”

Namjoon squeezes her hand gently as he thanked her once more. “Wow, that certainly boosted up my mood. What you said just made me feel good about myself. I’ll continue to work hard for Bangtan. All of you guys are doing your best. I’m very proud of all of you. And don’t forget that you are also precious to us, Jennie.”

As Namjoon went to use his fork, somehow, some way, his fork bends, causing both members to gawk at it. A brief silence occurred before Jen exclaimed, “How?!” as she points at the bent fork.

Namjoon grins sheepishly. “Uh, I can explain.”

After the two share a laugh, Jen asks, “Oh, by the way, where are my headphones I lend you?”

“Headphones?”

“The ones you needed to use in the studio.”

“Oh! Those…”

“Yeah, those. You have them there? I wanted them back. You do have them, don’t you?”

The rapper clears his throat and lets out a nervous chuckle. “Uh, I can explain.”

“You lost them?” She asks with a hint of irritation.

“I’ll buy you another pair!”

“They were Beats by Dre!” She shouts.

“Ah…don’t yell at me.” He covers his face with his hands.

“I can’t believe you.” She groans. “I need to write a list of things you lose, so you can repay me.”

“I’ll get you another pair, don’t worry. By the way, how’s your rapping lessons going with Yoongi?”

The topic of rapping made Jennie smile brightly as she confidently responds, “It’s great! He says I’m learning faster than ever. I’m so proud of my progress. I’ve been doing research on some underground female rappers to learn more. He gives me a bunch of homework, which has been particularly helpful.”

“I heard your progress to my verse of Tomorrow. I enjoyed listening to it because you put your own style into it. You’re going to be just fine with the rapping.” He grins ear to ear. “Yoongi is teaching you well. And you’re keeping up with the speed.”

“Thank you! It’s lit!” She high fives him.

“He’s not giving you a hard time, is he?”

“I like his bluntness and how strict he can be to make sure I get everything down correctly. I don’t want him to sugar coat it. When I first started, he told me, ‘What the hell was that shit? That was horrible. Do it again, you didn’t even listen to a word I said for this verse. Do you even want to do this?’ and that made me a bit upset but I got used to it. I want him to keep it real with me, and he has. But lately, he’s been smiling a lot as I progress.”

“Yoongi always had a soft spot for you.”

“You think so?”

“Yeah, who else would he want to nap with?”

“Haha, he told me it’s because I’m comfortable to sleep on and I don’t move around a lot or snore. But you, on the other hand, Namjoon…”

“L-look I can’t help it okay?”

“I actually was close to strangling you with my pillow when I roomed with you in the hotel room.”

“That’s foul, Nie Nie. Really cold.”

“I love you, too, Joon. So, still talking to Angelina?”

“Yeah, I am.” He smiles at the thought of her.

“You’re blushing.” She points out.

“I’m not!”

“You like her?”

“I do. I found out she likes me too.”

That made Jennie smile widely. “Aw! Are you dating now!? Wait a minute, why am I now finding this out? Ya’ll fake. My best friend and my leader, huh?”

He lets out a short laugh. “We’re not. We’re both busy with our careers right now. But one day.”

“I ship it. She kept telling me that she physically can’t date since she’s in the prime of her career. But she really likes you, though. She wanted me to teach her some basic Korean so she can communicate with you even though you’re good with English.”

“Glad to hear that. Looking forward to her progress. Hey, later, can you take a picture of me for my Kim Daily photo?”

“Yeah, sure. Question, are you guys considering having V in Cypher 4?”

“Aish, not this again!” He groans, rubbing his temples.

“Please?”

“Nie Nie, that is not happening.”

“But he’s-“

“No.”

“But Taehyung has been pra-“

“No.”

“Listen-“

“No.”

“I-‘

“No.”

“You didn’t even let me finish!”

“What?”

“I believe Taeh-“

“No.”

“Namjoon!”

“Yes?”

“He will be such a lit addiction for it!”

“I understand your support for him but no, Nie Nie.”

“Weak!”

After their breakfast, they walk around and he finds a spot to pose for his Kim Daily. Taking his phone, she watches him get into his pose and she lets out a laugh.

“What kind of pose is this? And show off that Nike wristband. Nike is bae.” She adds as she gets ready to take the picture.

“Would you shush?” He laughs and tries to get back into position. Once she takes a couple photos, he tweets one of the pictures. Jen didn’t see her photo credit and decided to call him out playfully on their shared account.

‘UM Where is my photo creds?! I took this bomb ass photo! #JEN’

Namjoon looks at the tweet and laughs. “Really?”

“Yes, really! I have great photography skills, I want them to know.” She replies as they walk past a couple stores.

Namjoon decided to tweet, ‘Credit to our adorable Miss Bangtan, kekeke #RM’
“Really, adorable?”

“Well, you are our baby girl.” He teases. The two of them go shopping together and they noticed Ryan, Namjoon’s favorite character, merchandise. Namjoon kept eyeballing one of the big plushes and contemplated if he should get it.

“You not going to buy it?” She asks as she stands near him.

“Nah…I shouldn’t.” He shakes his head and makes his way to another section of the store.

“Well, I think you should.” She murmurs to herself and grabs the plushie with a smile on her face.

Later that day, in the dorm, Jen changed into her basketball attire to join Yoongi in their planned basketball date. Meanwhile, the Maknae line was in the living room playing video games and was about to snack on some newly brought Oreos. But as soon as they take a bite, they spit it out because instead of a sweet taste, it was mint flavored.

“What the hell?” Jimin exclaims in English and he separates his cookie to see toothpaste inside.

“Who put toothpaste in the Oreos!?” Taehyung demands.

“Aw, are you serious!?” Jungkook yells with annoyance.

Jennie smirks as she hears them complain. “Score.” She mentally pats herself on the back at her successful prank in their prank war. She wasn’t going to reveal she did it to anyone because the last time she did, Jungkook made her pay severely and she didn’t want to go down that road again. Walking out of her room, she sees Yoongi waiting for her in the living room.

“Hyung, did you do this!?” Jungkook accuses him.

Yoongi looks up boredly and ignores him and the rest of the Maknae line who were whining about their ruined Oreos. His eyes turn to Miss Bangtan who was geared up in all Nike with the headband, sneakers, basketball shorts and a tank top. “You ready?”

“Are you ready to lose?” She tosses him the basketball that was in her hands and he catches it with ease as a smirk appears on his face.

“You wish.”

“Did you eat today?”

“I did a few hours ago.”

“No, no, eat something now. I don’t want your stomach to growl while we ball.”

“Aish, so stubborn. Fine.” He grabs an apple from the fridge. “Happy?”

“When you eat it.” She remarks.

The two of them head to one of their local basketball courts and stretched before preparing for a one on one match.

“First one to 10 points, wins. Each basket is one point.”

“Gotcha.” She checks the ball. Once she receives it back, she begins to dribble, walking around the court with Yoongi watching her every move, following her. Quickly moving her feet, she starts running up to the basket, jumping highly to shoot before Yoongi could block it. The ball goes right in the basket and she fist pumps.

“Beginner’s luck.” Yoongi grumbles.

“Beginner? That’s an insult Yoongi.” She taunts.

Focused, Yoongi had the ball this time, with Jennie right up on him as he swiftly escapes her arms trying to block his way. “Shit!” He lets out a curse when she steals the ball from him and makes another successful shot.

“Aw, yeah! Two to zero!” She celebrates.

“Like I said…beginner’s luck.”

“I’m no beginner though.” She sticks her tongue out. Having the ball again, she attempts to shoot an airball but Yoongi catches it just in time and shoots it instead. “Really?”

“What’s the matter, smartie?” He smirks as she shoots him an annoyed glance.

“That was luck right there.”

“Beginner’s luck? I’m no beginner though.” He imitates.

“Shut up.” She rolls her eyes as he laughs.

Meanwhile, back at the dorm, Namjoon went to his room as saw the Ryan plushie on his bed and instantly smiles. “You got to be kidding.” He lets out a chuckle and checks out the small note in front of it.

‘Ta-da! You know you wanted it. I love you, Namjoon! Please continue to stay healthy and I hope to hang out together with you again very soon. <3 Jennie.’

Back to Jennie and Yoongi, as their game goes back and forth, with Jen’s defense and Yoongi’s offense on point, they were tied at 7 points. Dribbling the ball, Jen lets out a squeal when he grabs her from behind, picking her up to spin her around a few times as she drops the ball.

“That is such a foul!” She yells after getting set down. She watches in disbelief when he takes the ball and shoots it in the basket. “FOUL!”

“Not in this game.” He shrugs with an amused expression.

“So, you making your own rules now?” She grabs the ball and starts to dribble. “Boi if you don’t-hey! Cheater!” She yells when he effortlessly steals the ball and shoots for another point.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about. Not my fault you’re slow.” He shrugs.
“You know what…I’m gonna hurt you.” She points to him. Jennie had managed to catch up to Yoongi, evading his defense both times. Tied at 9, focused on getting that winning point, Jen watched closely as Yoongi dribbled the ball. He had lost his footing and tripped, dropping the ball as he curses loudly in surprise.

“Yes!” Her adrenaline pumps as she manages to grab the ball, dribbling it as she ran down the court. She jumped high to shoot but it hit the rim instead, causing her to yell out of surprise. Before she knew it, Yoongi had caught the ball and jumped up to try to shoot it. She tries to jump and use her arms to block his shot but with no avail as he wins the game.

Jen lets out a sigh and takes a seat on the ground. Both players were drenched in sweat and breathing heavy from their intense game. “Good game, smartie.”

“I almost had you.” She groans.

He lets out a deep chuckle and helps her up as they walk over to their bags and water bottles. Sitting on the bench, Jen takes a big gulp of her water. Once she sets it down, Yoongi had put an arm over her shoulder as she lets out a laugh. “You almost beat me today. You’re pretty damn good for your defense. I’ll teach you some more offensive skills, the next time we play B-Ball.” He says with a small smile.

“That’ll be great.” She beams as he places his snapback on her head.

---

When they both went back to the dorm, Jen went to her room to see a small bag of smarties on her bed and a note. “Ooh, who gave me these?” She eagerly approaches her bed.

‘I love you too, Nie Nie. Thank you for caring. And I know just where to put the plushie. In my studio. I’ll think of you every time I see it. ;) ’

She laughs at his winky face smiley that he drew and went on to shower. After showering, she helped herself to the smarties and decided to facetime Bam Bam. She had a feeling he would probably be busy with dance practice but surprisingly he answered immediately and greeted her with a big smile.

“Jennie! Hey!”

“Hey!” She waves. “I’m surprised you answered, aren’t you in dance practice? Sorry if I interrupted.”

“Don’t worry about it, we’re taking a break, right now. I can always make time for you.” He smiles softly.

Ever since they met, they’ve been face timing each other and gotten closer. Jen noticed that he was shy and nervous when they first started talking but as they continued to chat with each other, Bam Bam felt at ease thanks to her down to earth personality. Seeing her smile gave him further confidence and whenever he made her laugh, he felt prouder.

“Who is that?” She heard Jackson in the background

“Shush, I’m trying to have a conversation here!” Bam Bam tries to get away from him. Jennie laughs at the disturbance. “So, how you been? Getting enough rest? Eating well? Are you fully supplied on smarties?”

She lets out another laugh and nods. “Yep, I’m stocked up. We’ll see how long they last. I just got back from playing basketball with Yoongi, so that was really fun. How’s everything with you and the guys?”

“Nothing’s changed, we’re all still goofing around, working hard. I actually wanted to ask you something.”

“What’s up?”

“The guys and I are planning to go bowling in a few weeks. Would you like to join us? I would love for you to come see me-us. Us. The group.” He clears his throat.

“JOIN US!” They hear Jackson yell loudly in the background

“JOIN US! The more the merrier!” Youngjae shouts in the background.

“Haha, sure, I’ll join you guys.” She answers.

“What did she say!?” Jackson shouts.

“She said yes!” Bam Bam laughs.

“WOO HOO! Miss you Jennie!”

“Why are you all up in my conversation!?” Bam Bam tries to push him away from the screen.

“Y'all a piece of work.” Jen giggles at their bickering.

On June 22nd, BTS had finally gained one million followers on their Twitter account and J-Hope had tweeted about it, making an edit of himself on their page.

To add to the celebration, Jennie tweets, ‘A milli, A milli, A milli, A milli! Thank you!’

‘Yaman TV’
‘BTS has entered the container box’

“BTS, the ones our crew devoted much efforts to!” Janghoon announces while the members applaud enthusiastically with cheers. Jennie, wearing an oversized pink hoodie with jean shorts, sat in between Jimin and J-Hope. The hoodie went over her shorts, making it look like a dress instead.

Janghoon had reminded the members about what goes on in the show and that he was the judge for today, giving out eggs whenever he likes and will take away eggs that he doesn’t like.

The hosts began to discuss how Bangtan has unique names, like V, Rap Monster, J-Hope and Suga. “Jennie, what about you?” Haha points out.J-Hope and Suga. “Jennie, what about you?” Haha points out.

“My name isn’t anything special. It’s just my name but as a nickname. I actually don’t prefer people calling me by my full name, Jennifer. It sounds like a mouthful and too much for a stage name for me, so I decided to call myself Jennie and it worked out pretty well. And it’s nice to see you again, Haha.”

“Likewise!” Haha smiles. “We’re still waiting on the next time you’ll join running man. You are missed. The Monday couple want their revenge.” He lets out a laugh.

“Oh dear.” She facepalms.

“Her and Jungkookie were so aggressive during the tag game!” Jimin adds. “They make a great team though. Don’t you agree?”

The studio agrees immediately, causing the 97 Liners to feel good about themselves. “Her defense and his offense are a dangerous combination. I can see the both of them back on Running Man.” Rapmon replies.

“I definitely want to come back on Running Man,” Jen speaks up. “I’m happy that viewers want me back on the show. And I wouldn’t mind being on a couple episode this time. Maybe Jungkook and I can team up and take on the Monday Couple. You down, Kook?”

“Absolutely.” The Golden Maknae accepts the challenge, giving her an air five across the room as everyone smiles at their competitiveness.

“Those sound like fighting words. Monday Couple, beware.” Janghoon adds as everyone laughs.

Haha had asked the other members about their names. Jimin pointed out that he chose to use his real name and that Baby G was another choice he could choose from. Jungkook stated that he had other choices too, one of them being Seagull as everyone cracks up.

The members split up into two teams, switching spots. Jen teamed with J-Hope, Rapmon and Jungkook for Haha’s team while the rest of the members were on Mino’s team.

“You have both of the Maknaes on the team!? No, there must be a mistake!” Jimin exclaims.

“We’re gonna win!” Haha happily celebrates.

After getting situated, Janghoon sits in the middle, between the two teams with the box of eggs. “Seemed like they were celebrating.” He gestures to the orange team. He turns to the blue team who don’t look at enthusiastic. “You four aren’t happy?”

“Suga, aren’t you being too obvious?” Haha calls him out

“I actually wanted to be on Haha hyung’s team.” The Dageu rapper explains.

“There’s a chance to switch teams. Just raise your hand and I’ll slap you.” Mino speaks with a straight face as another chorus of laughter occurs. Jen claps her hands, throwing her head back while laughing.

When asked why he wanted to be on Haha’s team, Suga answered, “Haha hyung is funnier.”
Jennie, remaining quiet, sat at her seat, occasionally smiling from amusement or chuckling as she watched the banter. While Janghoon was talking, V had tried to kill a mosquito by clapping his hands. All of the orange team stood up to protest.

“Uh, uh! Take an egg away!” Jen shouts, pointing to the box while V laughs sheepishly.
“Don’t interrupt others!” Rapmon shouts

“The mosquito was flying towards the judge’s neck to bite him!” Mino tries to defend V

“Oh bullsh-crap!” Jen immediately covers her mouth, before the bad word slipped out, prompting the guys to laugh and the blue team to start shouting.

“Ahhhhh! Let us receive an egg because she almost cursed on TV!” The blue team yells.
“BRUH!” Jen yells, throwing her arms up in the air. “I said crap!”

“S, word! She said the S, word! Give us an egg!” Jimin demands.

“I’m giving you both a yellow card. No eggs for now.” Janghoon lets them off the hook. “Although I respect Haha’s team, I really don’t like this attitude.”

“What is my attitude like?” Haha exclaims, letting out a curse, as the members cackled in response. The blue team gets an egg as V jumps and places it in team blue’s box. Haha had rolled his eyes and Janghoon gave Team Blue another one.

“You know what…” Jennie grumbles, feeling frustrated with Jungkook. Haha had left the studio and Janghoon gave Team Blue yet another egg. “COME ON! Why!? She exclaims.

The first segment is the favorability test while the two teams do the body wave. The VCR for the first segment was about which of the members’ arms were the most appealing to citizens. Gathering the results,

V- 8 votes
Jin- 7 votes
Suga- 7 votes
Jimin- 10 votes
J-Hope- 6 votes
Jennie- 5 votes
Rap Monster- 9 votes

“If the orange team can get more than 18 votes, then they will win.” Janghoon says as he reveals Jungkook’s result, who had a bunch of stickers. Team Orange had a total of 37 stickers and was declared the winner.

“YEAHHHHH!” Team Orange celebrates, getting out of their seats. Jungkook receives three eggs, placing them in team orange’s box.

“Mosquito! Mosquito!” V stomps on the floor, causing everyone to laugh again. Suddenly, Janghoon sticks his hand back in the egg box. “No! No!” V drops down to his feet in protest while Team Orange gets another egg.

Janghoon requested an arm wrestling match between Jimin and Jungkook for one egg, and while everyone was focused on Janghoon giving another egg to team orange, V has stolen an egg from team orange’s box. He sat back down, smiling hard.

“Let’s go best friend!” Jennie shouts, clapping her hands as Jungkook faced off with Jimin, preparing for arm wrestling. “You got this!”

Jungkook smiles back at Jennie. “I’ll do my best.”

“Come on, you brat!” Jimin says.

The two of them sit across from each other, while their teams hype them up. Jimin and Jungkook hold hands and once Janghoon lets their hands go, Jungkook quickly puts Jimin’s arm down.

“Ayeee! Atta boy!” Jen celebrates with her team. Team orange gets two eggs in return. Next, Jungkook went up against team blue leader, Mino, and the Golden Maknae won yet again, in two seconds. Jennie stares at Jungkook in disbelief as team orange gets 4 more eggs.

Next segment was the Bokbulbok test, betting for three eggs. An Aegyo battle was commenced as the winner would be able to get the first choice on one of the cards Janghoon held.

“Oh Lord…” Jennie presses her lips together. She was not a cute acting type of person and she gets embarrassed easily when doing cute dances and actions.

“Ah, is Miss Bangtan worried?” Jimin teases.

“Shut your face.” She tries to ignore him as he laughs.

Team Blue wanted to go last and as a result, had an egg taken from them. Sitting in between Haha and J-Hope, Jen watches Haha takes the camera, to perform his Aegyo. Haha makes a weird face, causing everyone to laugh. He ended up getting scolded by the judge, which caused Janghoon to allow team blue to take an egg from Team Orange.

Haha stood up, letting out another loud curse as Jennie almost falls out of her seat from laughing so hard.

---

Jennie goes first. She exhales and looks at the camera. She was already cringing, and she might as well act more cringe as she thought of something random and cringeworthy to say. Her expression changes into an innocent one as she smiles sweetly, batting her eyes rapidly. “Can you buy me some smarties? Pretty, pretty please with a cherry on top?” She speaks in a higher pitched voice.

Everyone starts laughing at her as she quickly passes the camera to J-Hope, covering her face in embarrassment. “That was so cute.” Haha laughs.

“Very out of character, but adorable.” Jin teases as Jen felt her body warm up from mortification.

“I cannot!” She groans over their laughter.

“Jennie, what is your next choice? You’re not done.” J-hope gives her back the camera.

“I gotta do this again?” She exclaims as everyone cracks up again. She sighs and looks back at the camera. Clearing her throat, she continues to speak in a high pitched voice, smiling cutely.

“Oppa~!” She starts off, feeling her face heat up even more. She never uses that word, and doesn’t even call any of the members that, but will use it for this occasion. But as soon as she said it, the guys cracked up again, causing her to lose focus and laugh too. “Stop! I’m trying to do this!”

“Oppa~!” Jimin, Suga, V and Jin mock her Aegyo.

After everyone calmed down, Jennie continued her Aegyo, “Oppa~! Have you eaten today? Don’t miss your meals!” She tilts her head to the side, winking the camera. Then she decides to blow a kiss. “I love you, oppa~!”

“Ahhhhh~!” The members yell.

“Never again. Never. Again.” She asserts and passes the camera to J-Hope.

J-Hope started making adorable facial expressions, murmuring, “Hobie…I’m hungry~! Buy me some meat~!” He cutely stomps his feet as everyone laughs louder when Haha lets out another curse. This was just too much fun, and Jennie’s stomach started to hurt from laughing so much. J-Hope continued his Aegyo, yelling, “I pooped! I took a dump!”

Rap Monster was next, “Ah hing~! I had a dream~, I dreamed of ghosts!” He says in a weird voice, over everyone’s laughter. “I…pooped…I took a dump~ wahhhh~” He starts fake crying.

When it was Jungkook’s turn, he hesitates. “This isn’t hard. Just read it.” Janghoon points out before everyone laughs again while Haha curses. Jennie starts stomping her feet as she laughs. Because he cursed yet again, V takes another egg.

“I had a dream. I dreamed of ghosts.” Jungkook starts off, not as cute as everyone though. “Ha…I pooped!”

Next was Jin, who blinked at the camera, speaking in a cute voice, “I had a dream. I dreamed about ghosts~.” He lets out a yell. “I popped~, I took a dump.”

“What is this?” Jennie shakes her head, watching this aegyo fiasco. This was so erratic and weird to her. Meanwhile, Rap Monster had fallen off his seat from laughing. When it was V’s turn, he effortlessly said the statement in aegyo, as everyone praises him for being so good. “Yo…I cannot…” She cringes.

When it was Suga’s turn, he explains he’s not great at these things. And once he says the statement, Rap Monster lets out a yell. “I pooped, I took a dump.” Suga whines, as Jennie stares at him like he was crazy.

Lastly, was Jimin as he looks up at the camera. “I…I…I had a dream..” He starts off, trying not to laugh at everyone’s laughter. Jimin had started over but ends up laughing while Jungkook and Rapmon mock his aegyo.

After the segment, Orange team chooses the front card while the blue team chooses the back card. As they catch the VCR they see which was the better choice for toilet paper. If it should be front or back. In the end, the correct way was the front as team orange was in another celebratory mood. But then the VCR shows BTS’ bathroom and Jennie’s personal bathroom to see how their toilet paper was hung. J-Hope brought up that BTS has three bathrooms.

When they check out the VCR, they look at how their toilet paper was hanging and it’s to the front.

“Ahhhhhhhh!” Team orange jump up and down.

“YASSSSS! WOO!” Jennie claps. Team Orange gather into a group hug, jumping up and down happily for another victory. Team Orange wins 3 more eggs.

The next segment is 5 seconds, 5 keywords. Jin went first, revealing 5’10, nipples and pink folder. The oldest member explained that it’s hard to wake up Jungkook, so he pinches his nipples to wake him up. “Touch his nipples when you want Jungkook to wake up.” Jin advises

“Pfff!” Jen lets out a chuckle. They had Jungkook lay on the floor for Jin to demonstrate. “I cannot.” She covers her mouth. When Jin demonstrates, Jungkook instantly starts laughing, trying to stop him.

Next up was J-Hope who mentioned 27CM and Freesia. “The 27cm isn’t what you’re thinking…” J-Hope lets out a nervous chuckle

“What were we thinking?” Haha asks, as everyone laughs.

“Since debut, I always hear people saying my face is very long. We measured it on a program. It was 27cm.” J-Hope explains. Haha brings a ruler to measure his face and ended up getting 20cm.

Following that was Suga who said Seo Janghoon, surgery, and lesson. He explains that his mom’s friend liked the team Seo Janghoon hyung-nim was on and brought him to the games since he plays basketball. As Jennie watched the banter, she was in shock that Janghoon allowed V to take another egg, but he decides to take two instead. Jungkook, with his hawk eyes, catches him and calls him out but V quickly denies the accusations.

Eventually, Suga explains why he chose the word surgery. BTS had a schedule in Japan and he had stomach pains but it was actually his appendix bursting and he flew back to Korea to get the surgery. “Jennie noticed right away there was something wrong.” Suga points out. “She always has been observant. She kept asking me if I was okay while I was in distress. She wanted to fly with me back to Korea, too. She didn’t want me to go alone but she had to stay, for the schedule. Jennie was so worried about me. I appreciate her concern.”

“You’re very welcome. I’m glad you’re okay.” She replies

Janghoon was impressed by Suga’s patience and allowed V to take another egg. Next up was Jimin who said the words, pervert, which sparked everyone’s interest. “This is about the members.” He reveals

“Who’s the pervert?” Janghoon questions

“Our members are sort of perverts. There are three types of perverts.”

“When was it three types!? It was one!” Rap Monster exclaims, getting defensive

“You’re surely sensitive, tonight.” Jen points out.

Jimin had explained J-Hope’s weird sleeping habit when he randomly strokes himself. “Then…Secondly, it’s the golden maknae.” Jimin peers at Jungkook. “He’s still a minor but he’s really sensitive to scent. So, he collects a lot of cosmetics.”

“I’m very sensitive to scents. I tend to collect a lot of things like perfumes, candles, and cosmetics.” Jungkook explains as he also adds that he enjoys women’s cosmetics.

“So, do you take Miss Bangtan’s cosmetics?” Haha asks.

“Of course, he does,” Jen replies with a hint of annoyance. “He tends to take a lot of my stuff without asking me. I dunno why or how you keep barging into my room when I’m not around. I still haven’t gotten my new grapefruit perfume back. Where’s that?” She turns to the Golden Maknae.

“I used it all.” He grins sheepishly as she throws her arms up in the air while everyone laughs. “The stuff she uses smells really, really good. She has great taste in scents. It’s hard not to resist. I can’t help myself.” He murmurs, feeling his face warm up.

“Ah, I’m sure that’s not all you can’t help yourself to, Golden Pervert, Jungkookie.” Jimin teases him, wiggling his eyebrows as he glanced at Jennie then Jungkook.

Jungkook shoots him a warning glance while Jimin smiles innocently, giggling in delight, watching him get annoyed by his words. He was going to kill his hyung for this.

“What scents do you usually get Jennie?” Janghoon asks with interest.

“Depends on what I like at the moment. Vanilla, fruity flavored. Just something pleasing to the nose.” She answers. “But I mean, that’s not weird what he does. It’s good to have a good smell around you.”

“The last type of perverts are the older hyungs.” Jimin reveals. He went on the explain that he knows all the names of the girl groups.

“We have a studio. Because we’re rappers. We have a studio but there are so many viruses.” J-Hope explains as everyone catches on that Rap Monster watches naughty videos in his spare time. Janghoon had mentioned that Rap Monster is at the peak of his age to be seeing a lot of those types of videos. He even offers Rap Monster an egg because of that, and that there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.

“If I download it, the rest of the guys watch it.” Rap Monster puts all the male members on blast.

Jangnoon was asked how many videos he watches per week but then someone brought up that he’s at the age to film them, causing everybody to laugh.

“And Jennie, I’m sorry for bringing this up again, but she actually caught me one time.” Rap Monster reveals.

Jennie lets out a sigh. “I saw everything when I caught him. All I wanted was to ask if he wanted me to bring something back when I went out to get lunch. And I got waaaay more than I bargained for...”

---

“Hey, do you want anything to eat, I’m head-OH MY GOD!” Jennie screams, widening her eyes. Namjoon immediately jumps up from his seat.

“Shit! I didn’t know you were here!” He starts tripping around, trying to pull up his pants hastily and tried to turn off the naughty video that was being shown. He ended up making some of his equipment fall on the floor.

“I was here the whole time!” She shouts as she covers her eyes.

“WHERE!?” He yells.

“I was with Yoongi!” She begins making crying sounds, running her hands over her head as she tries to unsee what she saw, turning her back to him. “I just saw his dick, Lord…please let me unsee this! Why you gotta do this to me, man!?” She whines, quickly running out of the studio.

Things were awkward between them for the rest of the day, until Namjoon had spoken to her the next day to clear things up in Jen’s room. He had sat on her bed with her, discussing the situation. “So you mean to tell me you watch that stuff in the studio?”

“I mean, the rest of the members watch it too.” He shrugs

“Gross, I don’t need to know all that information. For crying out loud, just-just don’t-ugh give me a warning or something next time. Like you’ll be in the studio for a while or something like that. So, I won’t interrupt you or see something I really wasn’t supposed to. Sorry for barging in on you. You guys gotta do what you gotta do, so I mean…” She trails off, shrugging her shoulders.

---

“No sister wants to catch their brother in that situation. It was not a pleasant sight to see…” She tries to shake away the unpleasant memories. “But I mean, it’s normal. No big deal. And I did feel bad barging in, interrupting him. ‘Cause I know if I was in position, I wouldn't want to be interrupted. Girls watch it too. And speaking of those viruses, I told him to get some computer virus software for the computers but he didn’t want to listen. Now, look what happened.”

“I’ll start listening to your good judgment.” Rapmon chuckles.

Rap Monster was next and his words were Straggler, early death and world peace. He goes on about his nickname, God of Destruction because he keeps breaking things, so he thinks he might die early. With the word straggler, he talks about how the members were bad to him. He went to go to the bathroom and the car left without him and he stood there for 30 minutes. His cell phone was in the car.

Next up was Jennie as she says volleyball, Tumblr and DJ. “What’s this about Tumblr?” Haha asks.

“Well, I have a Tumblr. A secret Tumblr that I use almost every day.” She admits, already mentally preparing for how ARMY was going to freak out on the website. She’s seen everything, but what really caught her eye was how some fans were always disappointed that she hasn’t shown much of her body or acted sexy like some of K-Pop idols. She was still a minor and would rather wait until she’s of age.

“What’s your Tumblr name?”

“I’ve had my Tumblr before I came to Korea. Made a new one and I don’t plan on revealing it at all. My Tumblr name is nothing pertaining to me, and I enjoy remaining unnoticed. Some things I enjoy reblogging are gaming, fashion, memes, American sports, vintage positive posts about being colored and UFC.”

“UFC!?”

“Yep.” She smiles.

“The fighting? Brawling, kicking and all that?”

“Yep, yep.”

“The blood and punching?”

“Yep, yep, yep.”

“Why that?”

“What can I say? I like to watch people beat each other up professionally.” She shrugs and everyone laughs. “I’m a big fan. My dad enjoys it. I’d like to attend a show one day.”

“So, on Tumblr, you see a lot about BTS?”

“BTS is very loved on Tumblr, I’ll tell you that. I blacklist a bunch of things so I’m totally safe for work.” She stares directly at the camera. She tends to stay away from any fanfics or intense stuff but appreciates the fans artwork, gifs and appreciation posts about her and the other members.

“But yeah, those on Tumblr, you know who you are, some of ya’ll need to tone it down on some comments, I’m still a minor FYI.” She shoots a thumbs up. “But yeah, seriously, I’m deadass. Respect that. You need to tone it down a notch. It’s creepy. But I will add that one thing I love is the appreciation I get from the fans and that I inspire them.”

She could see the fan comments now on Tumblr about what she had just said,

‘Guys! SHE KNOWS! SHE FRIGGIN KNOWS!’
‘ABORT MISSION!
‘Time to delete my blog!’
‘Oh shiiiiit’
‘Spread the word! Time to delete our blogs!’
‘SHE’S SMART AF!’
‘RED ALERT’
‘I’m dying!’
‘RIP every smut writer!’
‘Time to shut down my blog!’
‘We are NOT safe’
‘EXPOSED’
‘Uhhhhhhhh I can explain’

When it was Jungkook’s turn, he mentioned hair, butt and scissors. He revealed that when he gets nervous before going on stage, so he tends to touch the member’s butts a lot. Everyone laughs when Haha and Jungkook demonstrate how they touch butts. When Jungkook gave his butt a gentle squeeze, Haha mentioned that he was still a beginner.

“When we film an opening, or when we film the opening for Running Man, I grab both cheeks and-“ Haha kneels down and tightly grabs Jungkook’s butt as everyone laughs.

“What is this…?” Jennie chuckles, shaking her head.

When it was V’s turn, he mentions elephant and eyelashes. He shows off his trademark elephant on his arm, causing Jennie to giggle. “Whoa! It’s an elephant!” Haha looks on in disbelief and ends up waving at it while everyone laughs out loud. V also mentions that he has long eyelashes, longer than anyone else.

The next segment was ‘We want to know Bangtan’

‘Who is the most influential in BTS?’

“It’s Suga. That drunk way of talking, that charisma that overwhelms everyone.” Rap Monster answers. “It doesn’t go through no matter what people say. Last place is Jimin in the back who called me a pervert.”

“Jimin, do you acknowledge this?” Mino asks

“Yes, I do.” Jimin giggles

‘The member who lost their original intentions? The member who is most different since debut?’

“The member who lost his original intentions is V.” Jin answers. “This friend, distinctly, before debuting, he used to follow me well, saying “hyung, hyung.” But now when I say, “V, I don’t think you should do that.”, he says “What are you to say that hyung?”

“I really said that?” V asks

“No, I’m just exaggerating.” Jin teases.

Janghoon made Jin and V stand in front to play the of course game, bringing Rookie King flashbacks. They let J-Hope take Jin’s place for now, while V began to speak to him informally.

“Yah, Hoseok! You don’t take me seriously in dance. You keep criticizing me. You know you make several mistakes, right?” V speaks.

“Of course.” J-Hope responds. “I’ll talk a little bit about our dorm. You don’t air out the bathroom, huh?”

“We agreed not to.” V giggles and he loses the game. J-Hope receives two eggs for team orange.

‘Is there a member who has the celebrity disease.’

“Can I answer? It’s Jungkook.” V points them out.

“What’s the reason?” Jungkook asks.

“These days when any of the hyungs say something, he says, ‘Why? I do it, so why?.” He answers, causing Janghoon to make him and Jungkook place the of course game

“Hey, punk!” Jungkook speaks as everyone laughs. “These days, you don’t say your greetings often, right?”

“Of course.” V answers. “These days, when hoobae singers come to greet us, you ignore them all, right?”

“Of course.”

Haha has whispered something in the Golden Maknae’s ear and Jungkook asks, “You don’t air out the bathroom, right?” As everyone erupts into laughter.

“He can’t catch a break! Hahah!” Jennie chuckles, while Jungkook gets an egg.

‘The truth about Jimin oppa’s armpits. Do you remove it?’

“Does Jimin not have any armpit hair?” Janghoon asks

“No, I do.” He replies.

“But he didn’t when you promoted. Did you remove it?” Haha asks

“I didn’t.”

“Have you ever removed it?”

“No.”

Mino takes a quick look and responses, “There’s a heap.”, making everyone laugh

“At the beginning of our debut, Jimin didn’t have any. It didn’t grow.” Jin answers.

‘Did you not have any complaints about the length of the shorts while promoting Hwayangyeonhwa?’

“When I tell you I hated those shorts…” Jennie shakes her head. “I almost ripped them because of my thighs.”

“Hahaha, I remember that day.” Rap Monster lets out a laugh

“I think the shorts keep getting shorter,” Suga adds. “I think I can understand the problems women have. Jennie especially. She kept complaining about it for a while backstage. They keep shrinking.”

“But the fans like it?” Haha asks

“The fans like it.” Suga confirms.

‘Please mimic Bang Shi Hyuk who created BTS.’

“There’s a motion that he always does. When he listens to a song. If the song is perfect, like he feels it’s our song then he keeps doing this.” V starts dancing weirdly as everyone laughs.

“He wears handcuffs and keeps dancing like this.” Rap Monster demonstrates.

---

Jin speaks up, “I have a complaint. Last time, when I was in the recording studio, Bang PD came and asked me what do you think about the dance for this song? And I said that this choreo is more easier compared to before. Then he said, tell me your opinion truthfully. And I said, I wish the choreo would get a little easier. Then he told me, Ok, I’ll take into account your opinion. And what came out is the Dope choreo. It’s the most difficult! This is the fastest dance I’ve ever seen in my life!” He exclaims

“Who gets hit on the most by girl group idols? The member who has the most numbers, things like that.” Haha asks.

“But when we go to broadcasts, people really feel uncomfortable around us.” Suga answers
“Why?”

“I don’t know. We are always locked inside our waiting room.”

“Then are you saying that nobody here has the numbers of female idols?”

“Jennie tends to speak to most idols, getting to know them.” Rap Monster points out. “I won’t be surprised if a few years go by and she’ll know almost everyone in the industry.”

“Never hurts to approach them and say hi.” She replies. “I did that back at K-Con and I still speak with G-Dragon sunbaenim. I was so nervous to approach him but I was like, just go for it. He’s extremely nice and helpful when I ask for any advice. I thank him for being so kind to me when I met him.”

“And I’m still very jealous.” Jungkook grumbles.

“We were so shocked to see a photo with them together. We kept asking her so many questions.” Jin exclaims as everyone laughs.

“Like she left the dressing room and we couldn't find her. And then we all see a notification on our Twitter with them together. I was shocked.” Rap Monster adds.

“Miss Bangtan, what about you? Getting hit on by any male group idols?” Haha asks

“Not really.” She shrugs.

“Lies! All lies! That is a lie!” Jimin objects.

“What? How?” She laughs.

“I’m pretty sure there are certain guys that admire you.” He teases, earning another warning glance from Jungkook. The Golden Maknae briefly narrowed his eyes at his hyung until Jimin met his eyes and smiles innocently in response.

“I’ll answer this.” Jin adds. “As you may know, we are very protective of our Bangtan girl, so we tend to be, in her words, a bit much when it comes to guys, but it is all within reason. There have been shady men going around her a few times.”

“What you are doing is not a problem, make sure she is protected at all costs.” Haha agrees.
“She’s our baby girl, so we want to make sure that no one tries to take advantage of her, here. Moving from another country is hard and we made a promise to guide her and protect her. Make her feel welcomed and safe. She is truly special to us and we love her dearly.” Jin genuinely goes on.

“Aw…Jin…” Jennie says, touched, as she places a hand over her heart

“Is there a girl group you want to become closer with?” Haha asks. Answers included red velvet and Girl’s Generation

“IU!” Jungkook shouts loud and proud, raising his hand.

“AILEE!” Jen shouts, raising her hand. “Love her! She is astonishing. I would love to sing with her. She is a queen.”

As time was moving quickly, they transition to the last segment. J-Hope and Jimin collabed on performing a dance for the show. Everyone started cracking up when they watched Jimin and J-Hope perform a comic dance. Next up was Jungkook who did imitations of idols. He started imitating AOA’s Jimin from Unpretty Rap Star and then Jessi, causing everyone to laugh.

The laughter continued as they watch J-Hope dance to Red Velvet’s Ice Cream cake, EXID’s Ah Yeah and Sistar’s touch my body.

Afterwards, Jin had impressed Mino, Haha and Janghoon with his facial expressions and was requested to imitate Dragoon from Starcraft, which was his spider walk. “That’s it?” Janghoon asks, which caused Jin to look so done, causing everyone to laugh.

Haha requested Jin to come in the door with water in his mouth. “CUE!” Haha shouts, watching the oldest member walk back inside. “Jin, they said you’re going to be removed from BTS!”

Jin’s eyes pop out as the water from his mouth fell, causing everyone to laugh. “That was so good, hahaha!” Jennie laughs.

Rap Monster was the next person and he decided to do an impression of Marge Simpson. When he began to imitate Spongebob’s laugh while Jungkook pretended to be Squidward, Jennie was the one who laughed the most, almost falling out of her seat again.

“That’s my childhood, right there. They did that perfectly.” Jen compliments.

At the end of the show, they went over the eggs in each of the teams’ boxes to see who had won. Team Orange had seemed to be in the lead but in the end, once Janghoon revealed the last egg for team orange, which was 0.5 points, Team orange yells in protest while Jin spits out water once again in surprise.

Team Blue- 70
Team Orange- 60.5

Team Orange had hugged each other, for a good time, while congratulating Team Blue. V was chosen as MVP by Mino and received a guitar. V had dramatically kneeled down, receiving it proudly.

“I’m jealous!” Jungkook whines.

“Take this and increase your musicality.” Mino hands him the guitar

“Thank you!” V shouts and bows, while team blue gets a massage coupon.

“Yay! Now Jennie can teach me, the guitar.” V beams

“Just let me know when.” She speaks up as she looks at the big coupon Jin received for the massage. “Quality over quantity. Congrats to team blue. I’m mad but congrats.”

---

Backstage during one of the music shows, BTS had finish performing. Jen decided to walk around backstage with her phone but was stopped when a familiar voice called her name. Turning around to see who the voice belonged to, it was Shin, the sound engineer guy that she met during the MAMA Awards. Ever since Namjoon and Jin tried to warn her about him because they believed he was sketchy, she decided to keep her distance. It’s been a long time since she’s seen him but something in her didn’t believe he was a bad guy or sketchy as her members claimed him to be.

“Hey! Long time no see.” She greets as he approaches her. “You fell off the face of the earth for a while.”

“Me? I think it was you. Haven’t seen you in a while, and didn’t even get the chance to get your number the last time we spoke.” He responds with a smile

“Ah, well, the busy idol life.” She shrugs and takes a step back when she regarded him getting up in her personal space.

He seemed moderately irritated as he chose to let out a sigh. “All right, I need to be frank with you. I’m tired of this dragging along.” He changes his tone, causing her to raise a brow.

“Honest with what exactly?” Her ears perk up with interest.

“I thought you of all people would catch on but I guess not.”

“What was I supposed to catch on to?”

“I kind of just want to hook up with you. Know how it feels to be with a black girl. I heard they’re really exotic. Most foreigners are. I mean, you’re not the type of girl I would take home to my parents but I wouldn’t mind having fun with you.”

“Oh. I see we’re on two completely different pages here.” She shakes her head, turned off immediately by his words. Irritation was distinct in her voice and it wouldn’t be long before she would blow up at him for having the audacity to say that to her face. It also took a blow to her heart that he would assume she wouldn’t be taken seriously and believe she was someone that gets around.

“I mean, you’re hot and well, I was given the impression that girls like you are easy. I want to know if it’s true that once you go black, you can’t go back. I mean, you’re pretty for a black girl-“

“You ever think before you speak?” She snaps. “Why do I have to be pretty for a black girl? We’re all beautiful and I sure as hell don’t hook up around here. Did you think I got here because of that? I know I was a trainee for a short amount of time but I would never in my life go the easy route to get things I want. I work hard, shed blood, sweat and tears. Not sleep around.”

“You look like the hooking up type, I just thought-“

“Well, you thought wrong and I am seconds away from slapping the living shit out of you for letting that come out your mouth.” She retorts with a scowl. Shaking her head, she murmurs, “Namjoon and Jin were right.”

“Look, no need to get upset.”

“Upset? So, what you just told me, I shouldn’t be upset?”

“Hey, don’t get so offended. I just think that dating someone…like you would be hard-“

“How so?” She cuts him off. “What stereotype do you have on your mind? We’re angry? Like to argue? Aggressive? Too independent? Is it because of our hair? We can wear whatever we want on our hair. Braids, weaves, all natural, anything. What is it because of my skin? Would you be ashamed of dating a person of color? Because of any judgment, you’ll get? But you just want to have fun, right? Not actually take the time to see what great of a girl you have in front of you, am I right?”

She remarked him looking startled by her attitude, but she didn’t care. She was irate and she wasn’t having none of his crap. She did not want this side of her to come out. But people keep trying her and she had no choice but to retaliate.

“Don’t you think you’re being a bit of a prude?” He exclaims.

Jennie lets out a loud scoff and starts laughing. “Wow! Me? A prude? I’m a prude because I don’t want to sleep with you? Oh, okay. I see how society works. So, let me get this straight. You decided to be all nice and buddy, buddy, only to try to sleep with me? Then what? Leave? Go on to try to go after another female idol?”

“L-“

“You’ve talked enough so shut your mouth and listen.” She cuts him off, earning an annoyed look from him. “How many girls have you been trying to talk to? And all of them rejected you, right? Right.” She answers her own question. “And you just assumed since I’m a westerner, I would just open my legs for you, right? That’s just what we all do, correct? Just because of what you see on the media, or us shaking our asses and grinding up on guys, you just assume that we will do anything, huh? No questions asked, we’ll sleep with just anybody, right? Well, let me remind you that we deserve respect and that you’re wrong. Enough with the stereotypes. Enough with the fetishes of us. It’s getting old and it’s disgusting. You are problematic and you are a waste of time. So, why don’t you stop bothering us females with your antics, grow a set because you clearly don’t have any balls and stop treating us women like some piece of meat.”

“Are you friggin’ kidding me, right now-”

“I’m deadass. I am deadass. I am 100%, Ailee loving, Baekhyun adoring, Bangtan Girl deadass.” She cuts him off, talking over his words. Narrowing her eyes, she gets closer to his face. “Don’t try me because I am not the one. Now stay the hell away from me and I bet not catch you trying to go after any other female idol. And next time you try me, I won’t hesitate to smack the shit out of you. Do I make myself clear?”

He was so flustered, he couldn’t even respond since he was humiliated by her sudden attitude and words.

“I said...do you understand me?” She repeats in a sterner tone.

“Yeah...” He mutters as she takes a step back.

“Now apologize and educate yourself.”

“I apologize...”

“For what?”

“For being an asshole...”

“And?”

“Everything I said…”

“And what did you say that made me upset?”

“Calling you a prude…”

“And?”

“Fetishing black women…”

“And? We can go all day. That’s not all you’ve done.”

“I apologize for saying that girls like you are easy and disrespecting you...”

“And?”

“Making assumptions that you are the hooking up type…”

“And?”

“Judging you based off stereotypes about black women and what I’ve seen in the media...”

“And what will do from now on?”

“Educate myself…”

“And?”

“Stop treating women like a piece of meat…”

“Good, now get the hell out of my face.” She dismisses him. Shin scurries away in disgrace while she rolls her eyes, placing her hands on her hips. “Trifling ass…”

Little did Jennie know, Jungkook had heard their entire conversation. Jungkook knew right from the start that Shin was up to no good when he approached Jennie back at the MAMA Awards. Despite his jealousy and occasional glares when he saw them together, Jungkook had suspicions that there was something behind Shin’s nice guy persona.

It takes a lot to get the Golden Maknae agitated. But once he heard all those repulsive remarks that Shin told the woman most precious to him, his temper got the best of him. And once you get Jeon Jungkook angry, by all means…

Run.

Furious, Jungkook had stalked Shin after he quickly walked away from Jennie. She embarrassed the hell out of him and he deserved every second of it. Jungkook had wanted to intervene but she handled the situation well and shut Shin down to expose him for the fool that he is.

“Hey, you.” Jungkook’s voice calls out bitterly.

Shin immediately spins around and bows. “J-Jungkook. What is it?” His voice was still trembling from getting embarrassed by Jennie.

“Let’s talk somewhere private. Right now.” Jungkook demands with his voice filled with aggravation. Shin noticed his harsh tone. It looked like Jungkook wasn’t going to take no for an answer and he reluctantly followed the Golden Maknae.

Once they were in a private area, Shin asks, “What can I help you with?”

Jungkook crosses his arms, presenting an even further intimidating appearance as his muscles were visible under his shirt. He demands aggressively, “You can help by staying away from Miss Bangtan.”

Shin lets out a sigh. He guessed that he saw everything. “Look, I said I was sorry-“

“Not good enough. I’m here to give you a warning myself after what I saw back there.” He scowls at him, making Shin’s stomach to drop. Jungkook looked so scary when mad. Jungkook had walked up to him, staring him down with a lethal stare while Shin averts his eyes.

Jungkook pokes the inside of his cheek with his tongue, shaking his head. “Don’t you ever disrespect her again. Jennie is not and never will be some girl you can hook up with. She is not some easy girl to sleep with. She is someone precious to BTS. To ARMY. To her family. To her friends. To me.” The Golden Maknae responds sharply.

“Do you have any idea how great of a person she is? How caring she is, taking care of Hyungs and I? She works so hard in BTS and for you to disrespect her the way you did was uncalled for and I am not having it. How dare you claim she’s an easy target to sleep with? How dare you claim she’s a prude because she doesn’t want to sleep with you? She isn’t like that and will never be like that. She’s beautiful, she’s understanding, she always encourages hyungs and I. She’s more than what you think of her. Way more. She is someone incredibly special to me. Always has been. Always will be. And I won’t let you disrespect her like that ever again. Do you understand me?” He growls as Shin takes a step back, shaking with fear.

“Y-yeah man. Yeah.”

“Now stay away from her. And like my baby girl said…Educate yourself, yeah? Do I make myself clear?”

“Y-y-eah. I un-derstand.”

“Good. Now get out here.” He tilts his head to the side as Shin speed walks away.

---

With Jennie, still irritated about her unfortunate conversation with Shin, she went to BTS’ dressing room, letting out a loud sigh of annoyance

“What happened?” Namjoon asks immediately, standing up from his seat as he places his phone down. Jin was also in the room, and Jen had told them everything that had happened

“He dares to try to mess with my sweetheart? I am truly disappointed in that young man.” Jin shakes his head. “That is no way to speak to a lady.”

“First of all, damn, I wish I was there to see you shut him down like that.” Namjoon points out. “Second of all, I’m about to kill him.”

“You and me both, Namjoon.”

“His face was so red when I shut him down,” Jen adds. “Even some staff members were watching and laughing at him. But damn, I didn’t think a fuckboy like him would pull that card on me. I’m sorry I didn’t listen. I thought he was a nice guy with good intentions. I guess you can tell me that you told me so.”

“Nah, it’s all right.” Namjoon smiles and places a hand on her shoulder.

“Like he really just ruined my whole mood. I can’t believe he would say something like that to me.” She shakes her head, crossing her arms.

“Excuse me for a sec, he and I are gonna have a little talk.” Namjoon makes his way to the door.

“Oh yes, we are. A long talk. Let’s find him.” Jin adds, his voice appeared lethal as he followed the leader.

“Um, what are you two gonna do?” She watches them.

“Set him straight. I won’t have no man disrespect you. Always trust our judgment. I’m always looking out for you. We all are.” Namjoon responds.

---

The next day, in the afternoon, Jen had her small speaker connected to her phone and put her music on shuffle while she washed the dishes. Suit & Tie was playing softly in the background as she danced to the beat. Hobi had walked into the kitchen and started moonwalking with his socks on, making her laugh softly. After he had gestured her to dance with him, she briefly stopped washing the dishes to slide around the kitchen with him, with their socks on. Afterwards, he had gone to get something the drink from the fridge and went back to his room as she continued to clean.

“Sweetie, I told you I could’ve washed the dishes,” Jin says, walking out of his room.

“Eh, it’s all right, I was tired of looking at them anyway.” She shrugs.

“I’m going to the store. You want anything?”

“Nah but we’re going to need more dishwashing liquid.”

“I’ll put that one the list.” Jin makes a mental note and leaves the dorm.

Almost done washing the dishes, Rocketeer by Far East Movement played softly in the background as Jennie continued to dance while scrubbing a dirty plate.

“Here we go, come with me.” She sings along. “There’s a world out there that we should see. Take my hand, close your eyes. With you right here, I’m a rocketeer. Let’s fly~! Up, up here we go, go. Up, up here we go, go. Let’s fly~!”

“Baby girl?”

She hears a familiar voice and turns around, answering immediately with a smile. “Yes?”
There she saw Jungkook with their puppy, Tony by his feet. “Wanna walk Tony with me?”

“Yeah, sure! Let me finish this and I’ll get ready.”

“Take your time. I’m about to hop in the shower, first.”

“Ditto.” She turns around and finishes the dishes.

After she was done, she had changed into a simple white shirt, black jeans and of course her black Nikes. Jungkook had already finished showering and was waiting for her in the living room while petting their small puppy. When she walked out her room, Jungkook had gazed at her outfit and then to his, noticing that they unintentionally matched.

Jen lets out a soft laugh. “Ha! That’s cute, we’re matching. Copycat.”

“Me?! I always wear white shirts. You’re the copycat!” He teases and stands up, holding Tony by the leash as they step outside.

As they walked Tony, while casually talking to each other, Tony had stopped by a tree to do his business. “You’re cleaning it!” Jennie calls out.

“What!? Why me!?” Jungkook exclaims

“It’s your turn! I did it last time.”

The Golden Maknae grumbles as he takes out a small trash bag, picking up the mess. Once he throws out the mess, Jen walks past him and he catches a whiff of her vanilla perfume.
“You smell like vanilla. Did you go to a bakery or eat something?”

“Oh, Angelina sent me some perfume. And it’s a vanilla scented one. I love the smell but I also dislike it because I smell like a birthday cake. I mean, you wouldn’t want to eat me, right?” She jokes. “But the smell is so good, it makes me crave for vanilla flavored foods. I feel that way about cocoa butter, too. I’m kind of struggling. I should wear it when I’m around vanilla foods.”

“It suits you nicely. You should keep wearing it.”

“You think so?”

“I like it when girls wear vanilla sentenced things, actually.”

“Oh really?” She beams. “All right then, I’ll keep wearing it just for you. Just don’t swipe it like you did with my grapefruit perfume.”

“L-look.”

“Ah-ah! I don’t wanna hear it!”

When they make it to a dog park, they sit on the bench, while Jungkook takes off the leash from Tony’s collar.

“Gosh, you are such a meme.” She snickers when she observes Jungkook taking silly selfies with the dog.

He picks Tony up, looking at him face to face. “She’s mean, isn’t she Tony?” He coos as the dog barks cutely in response. “You like me better than mean Jennie, right boy? Ain’t that right?”

Jen stares at the two of them, unamused before taking a group photo with them. Both idols were bare faced for today. Jen had some faint dark spots over her face and her skin was usually on the oily side.

‘Bare faced! Gotta let the skin breathe! Hope you’re enjoying your day! #JEN’ She tweets.
The two friends remain seated while they watch Tony run around. “He is such a happy dog. How’d you even pick him out at the pet shop?”

“I am the Golden Maknae after all. I always have good taste.” Jungkook announces proudly

“Who lied?” She raises a brow.

Jungkook places a hand over his heart, pretending to be hurt. “Wow, that really hurts, Jennie.”

“You walked right into that one, ha!”

“Hahahaha-no.” He deadpans before they share another laugh.

“I’ve been meaning to ask you this. Where’d you get that cheek scar?” She points out.

“Oh, this?” He points to his cheek. “Ah…I was fighting with my brother because we both wanted to play on the computer.”

“Haha, once a gamer, always a gamer. I think it’s cute. I have a scar from fighting with my sisters over the TV. I wanted to play video games but they wanted to watch one of their favorite TV shows that came on that night. It wasn’t pretty. I was a rough child.”

“Really? Where is it?”

She lifts her left leg and points to the faint long scar on her knee. “You can’t really see it since it faded but once you get close, it’s there. Gosh, they pissed me off that day.”

“Did you get to play your video games?”

“Nope. Mom and dad always took their side. You would think being the youngest would allow you to get your way but nope. Got grounded for starting the fight. Oh gosh, I remember smacking Alani in the face. The side of her face was so red. I grabbed Vienna by the hair and pulled her off the couch. I know, all that over video games. You probably think I’m a violent person, huh?”

“That’s…actually pretty funny.” He chuckles lightly. “Don’t tell them I said that.”

“I won’t. I thought it was funny too. They were so shocked by my strength at the young age.”

Jungkook laughs. “Ah, sibling fights. You’re here in Korea with us so you can play all the video games you want without your sisters bothering you.”

“True, very true.” She responds as she gets another whiff of her own perfume. “Okay, can we please get some vanilla cake? This perfume is making me crave.”

“It’ll cost you.” He teases.

“How much?”

“I’ll think about it.” He smirks.

“Ugh, why you so childish?” She complains as she grabs a tennis ball out her bag. Jungkook giggles as they head over to play catch with Tony.

Jennie tosses the ball first and Tony immediately catches it and runs back up to her. “Good boy!” She pets him. She tosses the ball to Jungkook and he throws it far, taking her off guard. “Dude! Really!?”

“What? Good endurance pays off!” He proudly looks at how far he threw the ball

“You are ridiculous!” She exclaims, playfully shoving him. He playfully shoves her back and they end up trying to push each other. “H-hey! Hey! Cut it out! Behave! I’m telling Jin-hahah-stop!” She giggles when he tries to trip her down to the ground. When he does, she brings him down with her by grabbing onto his shirt and arm.

Jungkook rolls off of her, as they share another laugh. “Ah, crap!” He exclaims when Tony runs up to him with the ball, attacking him with licks all over his face.

Jennie watched him try to push him off and cheers, “Hahaha!” Get him, Tony!”
