A/N- Fluff and things get a little suggestive (you see what had happened was...Jungkook being a whole man. I tried.) I wanted to experiment just for shiz and giggles. Had this idea for a while. I’m sorry in advance, y’all. Did I do OK? Hope you like it. (Also, Happy Valentine’s Day. Love yourself, embrace your flaws, don’t be harsh on yourself and cherish your friends and family). Hopefully, there aren’t any major typo errors. Enjoy my Valentine’s Day gift to you. Lemme know what you think.

All over the K-Pop news sites, there has been a poll on who viewers wanted to guest star on Running Man, and surprisingly, Jennie was voted one of the top favorable picks. Once she was called and asked about being on the show again, she was thrilled and eager to come back. Besides, the Monday Couple wanted revenge on her, so that added to the anticipation.

When told that there would be other guests, competing against each other in pairs due to the episode being a couple episode, Jimin and Taehyung quickly suggested that Jungkook should join and be Jennie’s partner.

‘BTS’ Jennie and Jungkook to guest on an Episode of Running man’
Running Man announced today through its Instagram that BTS’ Golden Duo, Jennie and Jungkook is currently filming their guest appearance on the show to compete against the Running Man cast and other guest stars in teams.

The article went on to explain that Jessi, 4Minute’s Hyuna and Gayoon, Hayoon and Amber would be joining in the episode to pair with the cast members. Positive reactions were in the comment section for The Golden Duo to be working together again, since they made an impact the last time BTS was on the show.

When all the couples were on the set, they were paired out with one another and wore team colors. Jaesuk and Jessi wore green, Haha and Gayoon wore orange, Gary and Song Jihyo wore blue, Sukjin and Hyuna wore purple, Jongkook and Amber wore yellow, Kwangsoo and Hayoon wore brown and JenKook wore red.

Each couple stood by one another, inside a cozy room. They were told that their first mission was to play to the pepero game and whichever couple had the shortest stick, would win the round and be one step closer to winning Korean Beef at the end of filming.

“How many times have we eaten pocky sticks together?” Jen teases while Jungkook lets out a chuckle.

This would be the second time they were filmed eating pocky together, bringing back Rookie King vibes. It was going to be interesting how things play out at this time.

The Monday Couple were the first ones to go up. “Golden Duo, watch closely because our stick will be the shortest,” Gary warns.

“Wow, tough crowd.” Jen chuckles

The Monday Couple were impatient to get their revenge on them for the tag game the last time they were on the show. Jen couldn’t wait to see how things play out today.

“Don’t get too cocky. We’re dealing with the Golden Duo here. Don’t get them angry. These kids are dangerous.” Jaesuk exclaims.

Jen’s mouth upturned at his statement as everyone watched the Monday Couple munch on their stick at a fast pace. Their noses briefly touched, causing the rest of the couples to giggle. Their lips abruptly touched and the stick fell on the plate, looking around 1.5 cm.

“Golden Duo can’t beat that.” Gary taunts and high fives Song Jihyo.

JenKook glance at each other and smirk with amusement. It’s best to let their actions do the talking instead of entertaining their comments. They weren’t bothered by the Monday Couple. They’ll still win for sure with a strategy.

Jongkook and Amber were called up next, grabbing a stick. They both were flustered and giggly, trying to take it seriously. Amber couldn’t help but stay still, squinting her eyes, chuckling to herself while Jongkook did all the work. He continued munching forward until the stick fell before he could go further.

JenKook took sight of Haha and Gayoon munching on their stick, and they ended up letting their stick be a little bigger than the Monday Couple’s, who were confident in winning because no one had beaten them, yet.

Jungkook takes a stick out the box and meets Jen’s gaze.

“Good ol’ Rookie King.” Jen mentions, making them laugh at the memories. After they pull themselves together, she stands in front of him. “Go slow and steady,” she advises, getting a nod in response from him.

Jungkook places the end of the stick in his mouth, leaning down slightly for her to bite the other end of the stick.

“Start!”

They were told and slowly began munching, with their eyes on the stick. Both feeling keen to win and strategic to make sure their stick was the shortest, they ignored any distractions surrounding them which consisted of the Monday Couple playfully trash talking.

Jungkook ends up moving closer to Jennie, cupping her face as the stick gets shorter. She slowly tilts her head to the side.

“You ship?” Amber glances over to Hayoon, off camera.

“I ship,” she confirms with a giggle.

“I ship too.”

Once their stick drops on the plate, it’s measured as everyone gathers around to see. “It looks like 1.0 cm.”

“No!” the Monday couple yell.

“I ain’t even mad…” Jessi shakes her head while Jen high fives Jungkook.

When it was Sukjin and Hyuna’s turn, they were a giggling mess and their stick accidentally broke in half, which made everyone laugh.

Jessi and Jaesuk were finally up, going slow and steady. Jaesuk had accidentally dropped the stick, which made Jungkook place out a hand for Jen to slap for a low five, feeling good that they were still in the lead.

“Why is it so long? It should be shorter!” Jessi playfully scolds, causing Jaesuk to laugh nervously when she grabs ahold of him.

“I-it was an accident!” he tries to explain

“Accident, huh?” she lets go of him, narrowing her eyes.

Lastly was Kwangsoo and Hayoon. Jennie giggled at their banter when Hayoon kept covering her face, trying to get serious about the game. She was so adorable as her face became flushed. When they both had the stick in their mouths, everyone begins freaking out when they start to munch.

After their stick drops due to Hayoon pulling back when he gets closer, their stick was nowhere near close to JenKook’s stick.

“Winners! Jennie and Jungkook, Team Golden Duo!” the staff announced. Jungkook instantly fist pumps and goes to high five Jennie.

“This is unacceptable!” Gary complains.

“We’ll beat them on the next mission.” Song Jihyo reassures.

When they travel to the next destination, Amber and Jennie had discussed a date where they would be free to hang out and catch up. Both being busy with their respective group comebacks, they managed to find some time to hang next week. Jen couldn’t wait to hear what F(x) was working on.

---

For the second mission, each couple stood on a big platform surrounded by water, located in an indoor swimming pool. The mission was simple. All they had to do was push all members of the opposing teams off the platform and be the last team standing.

‘Round 1’

“I have a plan! Let’s all take out the Golden Duo!“ Gary calls out.

Wow, again?

“Man, you thirsty! He’s so obsessed with us.” Jennie calls him out.

“I agree, they can’t win again,” Kwangsoo adds. “Let’s take them out.”

“Geez, what is this survivor?” Jennie ponders.

“I think they’re just jealous.” Jungkook teases.

When the game starts, Gayoon had decided to make the first preemptive attack, going after Hyuna and achieves to shove her off the platform. She watches as Hyuna falls into the water and giggles at her.

Hyuna was clearly unprepared and wiped the wet hair from her face. She’ll get her revenge on her group member in the next round.

Gayoon had tried to push Haha off and they begin to try to overpower each other. The other teams had been watching their match and finally got into the game, going after each other. Jongkook effortlessly began shoving people off the platform with his muscular arms.

Cornering Hayoon, Jennie bumps her hip against hers, causing the GFriend member to lose her balance and fall into the pool. “Hips for days. Sorry Hayoon, love you.” Jennie waves.

“I’ll remember that!” Hayoon calls out.

Due to the slippery water and her shoes, Jennie yelps, about to fall. Jungkook was quick to scoop her up, bridal style in his arms and she holds onto him.

“Careful,” he mentions.

Carrying her, they decided to go after Kwangsoo when he was distracted by trying to push Jaesuk out. Using her feet, Jennie kicks Kwangsoo on his back to make him fall off the platform. The gesture caused everyone to start laughing at Kwangsoo and JenKook’s unique teamwork.

“I wasn’t ready!” Kwangsoo yells, with his guard down.

Getting set down, Jennie watches as the rest of the teams were all up on each other, grabbing and pulling, trying to shove each other off. Sadly, Jen ended up getting pushed off due to Song Jihyo tripping her.

Swimming back up to the surface, she watches the rest of the match, rooting for Jungkook. When it was down to him and Gary, Jungkook had easily shoved him off the platform to win the round.

“Yes!” Jennie gets helped back up on the platform by Jungkook and happily celebrates their victory.

“This cannot happen again!” Gary complains.

For Round 2, Jennie went on a defensive route, surviving with Jungkook as she managed to protect him. She would constantly get in front of him, shoving anyone back who tried to go after him.

Jongkook, the tiger, began to get ganged up on, as most of the teams strived to shove him and Amber off the platform. Once they failed to shove Jongkook and Amber off, they go straight after the Golden Duo.

“Oh gosh.” Jennie stands back to back with Jungkook. After she took in the sight of what was going on, Jen makes her move, grabbing a hold of Hyuna’s manicured hands. Miss Bangtan uses her strength to shove her into the pool.

Turning her awareness to Kwangsoo, he lets out a yell, staring at her in horror. “Nope! Nope! Nope!” he runs and jumps off the platform, making some to laugh at him.

Meanwhile, Jungkook had worked on pushing Sukjin and Jaesuk off the platform. JenKook regroup and stand in front of Jongkook and Amber. Jennie and Amber go after each other, clasping their hands together, attempting to push each other off while giggling at each other.

Amber had slipped on the platform and Jen takes advantage by rolling her to fall into the pool. Turning to Jongkook, she noticed that Haha was trying to shove him off, ignoring Jungkook.

Jennie helps Jungkook up, bringing him to safety. The two manage to shove Haha and Jongkook out and happily high five each other.

“How many people have they taken out so far?” Amber laughs.

As the round progressed, Jungkook had gotten shoved out by Song Jihyo. He was annoyed that he had lost but rooted for Jennie to win the game for the team.

Jessi had attempted to push Jennie off the platform. “Sorry, hon. You gotta go.” Jessi responds, but Jen stood her ground and manages to push Jessi off instead with the help of using her feet to trip her.

Distracted with Jessi, Jennie felt a strong push on her back and falls into the pool thanks to Song Jihyo.

“Yes!” Gary happily shouts, applauding her.

In the end, Song Jihyo won the round for her team.

For the final round, everyone gangs up to take out Jongkook first, creating a big group on top of him. Jennie avoids the chaos with Jungkook and decided to start pushing people off that were near the edge to increase their chances of winning.

Standing in the middle of the platform, Gary and Song Jihyo face off with the Golden Duo, as they try to push each other near the edge.

“Jennie! I will get my revenge!” Gary yells, grabbing a hold of her. We are going to win this! We are not going to lose! We are not going to lose!” he exclaims while Jennie snickers, evading his attempts to shove her off the pool.

Song Jihyo shrieks when Jungkook picks her up over his shoulder and tosses her into the pool. With Jennie, she uses her hips to bump Gary off the platform.

“Nothing personal.” Jennie shrugs, feeling victorious despite the Monday Couple’s complaints.

Kwangsoo had crawled away from them, on the platform but ended up getting rolled off by JenKook. Near the end of the round, it was down to Jennie and Amber. They catch their breath and stand in the middle of the platform. Going to strike, Amber had tried to trip Jennie, but Miss Bangtan evaded her move.

It was a back and forth battle between the two, pushing and pulling each other, near the edge of the platform. In the end, Jennie had caught an opening when Amber began to lose her balance on the edge. She then does one final push and watches at Amber falls into the water.

“Yeah!” Jennie fist pumps and jumps off the platform, landing into Jungkook’s arms. He hugs her and spins her around as they celebrate their victory.

“Great job, Jennie! You did it!” He giggles, wiping some of her wet hair from her face.

“ARMY is going to be very happy to see them winning on behalf of BTS.” Jaesuk chuckles.

“They really want this Korean beef,” Jongkook adds.

“Why do they always win?” Kwangsoo complains.

“I think we should just give them the beef. They already won.” Gayoon giggles.

---

For the last mission, everyone was scattered around a mall, by themselves. Jennie stood near an emergency exit, with her Korean spelled name tag stuck to her shirt.

On the speaker, it was announced that they would need to find their significant other. Once they reunite with their partner, they must team up and find the correct key. After they find the key, they must find the room where the key opens, and find a platform to land on while avoiding getting their tag ripped. If one person gets their tag ripped, the entire couple is eliminated.

“Gosh…really?” Jen cringes to the camera. “That’s…a lot of work.”

Once she hears the buzzer, the game begins and she lets out a breath. “ARMY, time to find our Golden Maknae.” she shoots the camera a thumbs up and starts walking with a cameraman following her.

With Gary, he carefully walks around the mall on the second floor. “I must find Jennie or Jungkook. We need to take out the Golden Duo, so they can’t win. Hopefully, I can convince everyone else.”

He was so fixated on making sure the two teenagers lose this time. They won too many battles. It was time to lose for a change.

With Hayoon, she chose to hide in a changing room that was in one of the clothing stores. “I’m going to hang in here for a little while,” she speaks on camera.

Back with Jennie, she walks slowly, looking at her surroundings. “All right…so far so good…” she mumbles. She recognizes Gary walking by and immediately leans against the wall, making sure he passed her, unnoticed. She lets out a sigh of relief and quickly leaves the area to avoid being detected.

With Haha and Gayoon, who had found each other, they go to each store to find the correct key. They came across three sets of keys, but none were the right one.

“Found you!” Gary calls them out, causing Gayoon to yelp in surprise. “Wait! Wait! I don’t want to fight. Let’s work together.”

“Why should we trust you?” Gayoon points out.

“I want to get the Golden Duo out, so they won’t win. Don’t you want to get them out too? Let’s work together, find Song Jihyo and take down the maknaes.”

“Well, those maknaes are insane.” Haha starts to become convinced.

“Okay, we’ll work with you.” Gayoon agrees and the three of them begin walking together around the mall to find keys and search for Jennie or Jungkook.

Looked like JenKook was in trouble if Gary continued to convince other teams to join him to take them out.
With Amber, she walks around, seeking to find her partner. “I have a feeling someone is hiding around here.” she murmurs, going inside the store that Hayoon was hiding in.

Hayoon had heard a noise and remained quiet while Amber walks around to see if anyone was hiding. In the end, Amber couldn’t find her and ended up finding a key, but it wasn’t the right one. The rapper continues her hunt for Jongkook by leaving the store and going up the escalator.

Hayoon, still hiding in the dressing room, places a hand over her heart. “Thank goodness. I don’t want to get my tag ripped anytime soon. Ah…maybe I should go find Kwangsoo. But I’m so scared. What should I do?”

With the Golden Maknae, he kept a low profile as he went to find keys. “Ah…I wish Jennie was here with me, right now. They really are doing well to keep us apart. But I will find her. And we’ll win for sure.” he says to the camera, determined.

“Hey!” the sound of Jessi’s voice, caused him to look Jungshooked. He immediately begins backing up while she walks after him. He ends up giggling at her as she tries to grab onto him to rip his tag off.

His strength overpowered her attempts and he escapes. Jessi tries to run after him, but he was too fast and she stopped running. “I don’t know why I even tried.” she shrugs on camera, chuckling as the audience laughs.

Back to Jennie as she unsuccessfully discovered the right key in a shoe store, she comes across the row of Nike sneakers. “Daaaaaamnnnnn, how much are these?” she picks up one of the shoes and checks them out. “Yo…I need to get this after the show.”

Distracted, she was unaware that Hyuna and Sukjin had spotted her. Hearing footsteps, Jennie quickly sets the shoe down and runs out the store, with them high on her tail.

“Jennie!” Hyuna laughs and grabs a hold of her.

“This so cheap. You’re gonna run up on me when I was looking about Nike shoes? Really?” Jen evades her attempts to grab her tag, defending herself against them both.

“Let us oust you, Miss Bangtan. We need to win this.” Sukjin responds.

“Sorry, but I didn’t come here to lose. I appreciate your determination. Not enough to take me out. Jungkook and I are going to win this.” she manages to push them away and escapes.

She ends up losing them, and she hides in another store to catch her breath, hiding behind the register. “Ah…I hate this. I want Jungkook. The heck, is he?” she complains.

That was just too close. Turning her head, she finds another small box and opens it to find a key. Examining it, she realizes that it was not the right key and places it back.

She abruptly hears Hyuna and Sukjin yelling in panic and loud running past the store she was hiding in. She realized that Jongkook had found them and started chasing after them.

“So glad I’m not them right now.” she murmurs.

As the game progressed, Gary managed to find Song Jihyo with Haha and Gayoon, discussing strategy when they find Jen or Jungkook to eliminate them. Unfortunately for them, they had bumped into Jongkook who had been chasing after Hyuna and Sukjin. The two teams instantly run with Hyuna and Sukjin, yelling and screaming all over the place.

Hyuna gets in an elevator but unluckily none of the others made it inside with her. When the door opens on the next floor, she sees the Golden Maknae quickly looking up from his feet, widening his eyes.

“Oh no!” she shrieks as he rushes in, grabbing a hold of her. “Wait, wait, please! The game just started!” she pleads but unfortunately for her, he rips her tag off to eliminate her and Sukjin from the game.

“Sorry, Noona.” Jungkook bows and grins sheepishly.

‘Hyuna out. Hyuna out.’

Back to Hayoon, she still was hiding in her hiding spot. When she heard the announcement, she sighs out of relief when it wasn’t her partner. Out of nowhere, she shrieks when she suddenly sees the dressing room door swing open, locking eyes with her best friend, Jennie.

“Really?” Jennie laughs and takes a seat next to her.

“Aw…it was nice when it latest.” Hayoon pouts.

“Have you seen Jungkook?”

“I heard him in here a while ago. Have no idea where he went. Thankfully he didn’t find me.”

“Thanks. Okay. See you.” she stands up.

“W-wait, you’re sparing me?”

“Yeah.” Jen nods. “I love you, that’s why.”

Hayoon smiles at her answer and feels a little flustered.

“Just try not to get caught. And if we meet again, I won’t hesitate to take the tag off.” Miss Bangtan warns.

“Gosh…you and Jungkook are so scary when competitive. Reminds me of our dodgeball game at school.”

“That’s riiiiight.” Miss Bangtan kisses her forehead. “Be safe out there.”

“You too!” Hayoon watches her leave. Standing up, she decided it was time to move around and find Kwangsoo and some keys. No more getting scared. It was time to play the game.

As the game went on, Amber and Jongkook had found each other and were running after the rest of the teams that were plotting to find Jennie and Jungkook.

“Run faster! Run faster! They’re here! They’re coming!” Haha yells.

“Ah…we are in deep trouble!” Jaesuk huffs

“This was not part of the plan! Work with us to take out the Golden Duo!” Gary pleads.

Jungkook had found himself in the mix when Song Jihyo spotted him and started running after him. Now it was Gary, Song Jihyo, Haha, Gayoon, Jessi, and Jaesuk running after Jungkook while running away from Amber and Jongkook.

“Get Jungkook! One team has to sacrifice themselves, so we can oust Jungkook!” Jaesuk shouts.

“Go! Go! Go! We’re losing him!” Gary yells, determinedly.

Out of breath, Jungkook comes to a stop and had to fend for himself desperately as he sees the three teams halt in front of him. The three teams were distracted because they wanted to focus on Jungkook but Jongkook and Amber were behind them and they weren’t sure what to do.

Out of nowhere, Jennie jumps into the fray, grabbing a hold of Jungkook from behind. He widens his eyes in surprise when he turns to see her, gesturing for him to run with her. Everyone notices that JenKook were finally reunited and freak out.

“No! This was not supposed to happen!” Gary yells as all teams scatter to go after them and escape Jongkook and Amber.

“Ah! Separate them!” Haha shouts.

“They’re headed down, stairs! Go down!” Jessi yells.

Song Jihyo manages to grab a hold of Jungkook’s arm, which made Jennie get pulled back with him.
“Uh, uh, not today! Kook and I will live to see another day! Get off of him!” Jen makes her lose her grip before running away with her Golden partner.

“Aish…these kids…they’re too fast.” Jaesuk calls out.

“We are dealing with two pains in the asses here.” Jessi chuckles, shaking her head. “These kids need to go but they run so fast. So how are we going to beat them?”

Once JenKook find a safe area to hide, he wraps his arms around her tightly for a hug. “Are you all right?” Jennie asks.

“I am just very happy to see you, right now.”

“Feeling is mutual. I really thought I wasn’t going to be able to make it. Catch your breath, I know you’re tired.”

They sit on the floor as he tilts his head back, making it rest on the wall. Jennie lays her head on his shoulder and rests with him while keeping her eyes alert for anyone walking by.

This was a long and tiring game. Finally, they found each other and can work on winning.

After resting for a while, JenKook walk around the mall to find keys. As they strolled down the hallway, they hear a loud noise behind them. Jungkook is quick to grab her to safety by wrapping an arm around her waist, pulling her against his chest. He looks both ways to see if anyone was there.

“That scared the crap outta me.” Jen exhales sharply with a hand on his chest when they noticed that one of the camera crew had knocked over a plant by accident.

“What are we going to do? Everyone is after us. Should we go stealth?” Jungkook suggests as they continue their search for keys.

“No, I don’t think we should do stealth this time.”

“Really?”

“Yeah because they aren’t focused on getting the key, they’re focused on getting us out. They’re gonna do anything to eliminate us. They’ll try to corner us, distract us, this, that and the third. We need to be quick and on full offense. No more messing around. We gotta win this. So, let’s find this key and if anybody runs up on us, we’ll rip the tags off. No more running away. I got you. I won’t let no one rip your tag off. I promise.” she reassures him, placing a hand on his shoulder. “I got you, Jungkook.”

A bunny smile appeared on the Golden Maknae’s lips, motivated by her words. “And I got you, too. Now let’s go.”

As time went on, the Golden Duo searched around, undetected and managed to find the right key. All they had to do now was find the room to open the door and stand on the platform.

Walking to the door that leads to the stairwell, Jennie opens it and walks in with Jungkook, only to spot Jaesuk, Jessi, Kwangsoo and Hayoon, Gary and Song Jihyo trying to get each other's tags after they all had turned against each other.

The sight of JenKook caused Kwangsoo and Hayoon to rush down the stairs in panic while the rest of the teams were caught off guard and ran down the steps to avoid them. JenKook had decided to dash after them, going after the Monday Couple for revenge. Running through a door, the Monday Couple had pushed to close it shut, only to have JenKook push forward to push it open.

“No! It won’t end like this!” Gary yells.

“Don’t let them in!” Song Jihyo yells.

Jennie, using her strength, grips the doorknob and places her foot on the wall, slowly pulling it back as the door gradually opens. Jungkook takes advantage by grabbing Song Jihyo’s arm, pulling her to him as he uses his other hand to search for the name tag on her back.

Riiiiiiiip

‘Song Jihyo out. Song Jihyo out.’

“Ah…I can’t believe this.” Song Jihyo slides down and sighs in defeat with Gary. After bowing and thanking the Monday Couple, JenKook continue their search for the platform.

“Are you okay?” Gary helps Song Jihyo up.

“Wow…the Golden Duo is no joke.” Song Jihyo mentions, bewildered.

“They have to be the strongest guests we ever had. Iron Man and Captain America strength. This won’t be the end. We will get them next time.”

Near the end of the game, Jennie and Jungkook finally find the door. Managing to open it with no problems, they quickly jump onto the platform as confetti pops out from the ceiling, making them the winners of the game.

All the teams had met up in the room to recap on the episode and congratulate JenKook on their successful win despite the odds not being in their favor.

Receiving Korean Beef as their prize, Jungkook happily announces, “We’ll eat this proudly. Jin Hyung, prepare to make this for us when we get home!”

“Ahhhh, they came to our show and won everything. They cannot be beaten.” Haha shakes his head as everyone laughs

Once Jennie and Jungkook go back to the dorms with Seijin, the members had greeted them with loud cheers when they saw the Korean beef in their hands. A victory dance commenced between the members. Afterward, Jennie had showered and helped Jin cook the beef.

After dinner, Jennie chose to turn in early due to the full meal and long day of filming. Wearing a white tank top with black shorts, she dozes off in her warm bed.

Buzz Buzz

Stirring in her sleep, Jen slowly wakes up and grabs her phone off the nightstand. Squinting her eyes at the high brightness of the screen, she turns her brightness down and checks out the message.

Kookie: You awake? I have a headache. Could you massage it away?
Jen: Drink water and then stop by

She sits up and stretches her limbs. Turning on the lamp, she turns to look at the time. It was past 1 am. Looks like Jungkook was done gaming for the night with the rest of the Maknae Line. Noticing that her bun was messy, she realized that her bonnet had fallen off while sleeping.

Yawning, she takes out her bun and shakes her hair out, deciding to fix it after massaging Jungkook. Hearing a firm series of knocks on her door, she calls out with her voice filled with sleep, “Who?”

“Golden Maknae in need of Miss Bangtan’s famous massages.”

His bright voice made her smile. “How much are you paying?”

“I’m sure we can negotiate with smarties.” he quips, making her chuckle softly.

“You got me there. Enter my realm.”

She watches him walk in with a big smile as he closes the door. She noticed he was wearing one of his many white shirts and pair of shorts that came to his knees. His hair was messy, too, it made him look even cuter. She scoots over as she felt the bed dip when he gets on the bed and lays down next to her.

“I told you don’t eat so much candy. But what do you do? Eat a lot of candy. Now, look at you. Suffering from a headache.” she scolds.

“The candy Hyung buys is really good. I can’t help it.”

“I can’t help it.” she mocks in a low voice, making him chuckle. “How much did you even eat after dinner?” she lets him lay his head on her lap as she gently begins to massage his temples.

“You don’t want to know.” he lets out a content sigh, closing his eyes.

“No more eating a lot of sweets, especially before you go to sleep. Those sugar headaches are killer. And make sure you drink more water.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“You’re a handful.” she continues to massage him.

After a while, he ends up falling asleep, with his headache nearly gone. She gently removes his head from her lap and lets him sleep next to her. Moments later, Jen decided to play on her phone, to pass the time until she felt herself getting tired.

After ten minutes, she glances over at the Golden Maknae, watching him sleep as his chest rose and fell slowly. Placing her phone on the nightstand, she turns to her side, to continue observing him.

Her hand slowly runs through his soft hair. Gently brushing her fingertips against his cheek, she absentmindedly runs her thumb over his bottom lip. Glancing at his lips, she quickly shakes the thought away and removes her hand.

‘The heck was that Jen?’ she looks away from his lips but couldn’t help but look back at them.

Jungkook had really grown up. His vocals get better and better throughout each comeback. He has gotten so much taller, it was like it was yesterday where they were almost the same height. His English skills improve day by day, making her proud of his efforts. And he had really become handsome over the years.

Her body began moving on its own as she found herself slowly leaning down. She stops midway, looking at his gentle face. Closing her eyes with hesitation, she pulls back.

Jen lays on her back and looks up at the ceiling, inhaling and exhaling deeply. She didn’t understand what she was doing. What this strange feeling was. Turning her head to the side, she looks at him, falteringly.

After a moment, she turns her body back on her side and leans down to press her lips to his. She kisses him softly while closing her eyes. His lips were softer than she anticipated, taking her off guard. But nonetheless, she felt something strong from the kiss.

When she realizes what she had done, she pulls away, confused by her abrupt actions. ‘What the hell, Jennie? Why did you do that? Stupid, stupid, stupid. I am such an idiot.’ she thought to herself, touching her lips.

She was so fixated on thinking of what she had done, that she didn’t even notice Jungkook slowly opening his eyes. Consequently, he knew exactly what she had done and when she met his gaze, her stomach drops.

Busted.

She stiffens, widening her eyes while her face felt flushed. All she wanted to do was to crawl into a hole. She had no excuse for her actions and couldn’t even think of coherent thoughts without making a fool out of herself.

“…u-um-I’m…” she hesitates, averting her eyes from him. “I-I’m sorry, I don’t know what got into me. I think I’m gonna go get something from the kitchen.”

She begins scrambling to get out of bed but feels his warm hand, firmly grabbing her wrist to stop her from getting off the mattress.

“Don’t leave,” he whispers.

Jen lets out a sharp gasp when he gently pushes her down on the bed, feeling the soft, warm sheets under her. Her heart raced quickly as she watched him slowly climb on top of her, placing his palms on the bed, next to her head. She couldn’t look at him in the eyes as she felt a mixture of crazy emotions while still feeling awkward by her previous actions.

“Look at me,” her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of his low voice. She nervously held his gaze, unable to ignore his request. She didn’t understand where this sudden desire to kiss him was coming from and it bothered her.

It bothered her because she shouldn’t even be in this foreign position with him.

It bothered her because the way he was staring at her made it harder to resist him.

It bothered her because he looks so enticing and she anticipated what he was going to do to her.

Her chest rose up and down at a rapid rate with her butterflies in her stomach getting worse. She watched him take a good look at the position they were in. From his face, it seemed like he was contemplating if he should risk it all. It was like he was struggling to suppress the urge to do whatever his mind was thinking of doing to her.

She regarded that he had licked his lips and placed his bottom lip in between his teeth as his eyes traveled down to her bare, thick legs. When he locked eyes with her, she felt her nervousness intensify.

Pressing his body against hers, he leans down, gently kissing her softly. She froze, widening her eyes as she felt his lips move on hers while he tilted his head to continue kissing her slowly.

‘What the hell? What the hell are we doing? What the hell are we doing?’ she thought in panic.

His lips were tender and he pulls away briefly, leaving her breathless. Jungkook moves some hair from her face before leaning down to crash his lips against hers again.

Part of her wanted to push him off.
Tell him that this should not be happening.

But his kisses were too much to handle and she found herself kissing back, uncertain. She wraps her arms around his neck, pulling him closer.

Gradually, she became in sync with his lips, finding a rhythm, despite her lack of kiss experience. With a hand in his soft hair, she runs her fingers through it. Shortly after she felt his large hands caressing legs, she hitches a breath.

Jungkook’s hands were all over her.

Places that a friend shouldn’t be touching but he was so gentle that she couldn’t help but melt into his touch. They slowly ease back out from their lingering kiss to catch their breath.

Jennie, giving in to this heated encounter, sits up to straddle him on his lap. The sudden gesture made him grunt softly.
‘What’s gotten into me?’ she thought as she took his face in her hands.

She resumes kissing him again as she felt warm and tingly. Each kiss felt better than the last one, making her feel good. Their kiss gets hungrier as he slowly ran his hands down her back and squeezed her hips.

He was starting to drive her crazy as he continued his frisky behavior when his hands slowly traveled down to squeeze her rear. The sudden gesture made her jump and let out a squeal of surprise before resuming their heated kiss. Once they pull back to breathe again, a thought in her mind made her place a hand on his chest, as the doubts came back.

‘We shouldn’t be doing this…I should not have kissed him. This isn’t right. But it feels right. But friends don’t do this. We need to stop. This can’t go any further. I need to get out of this.’ she thought, feeling conflicted with everything that was going on.

Jungkook noticed her pulling away. By instinct, he closes the gap by pulling her back, hard against his body and swiftly lays her back on the bed.

He climbs back on top, locking his eyes with hers. “Don’t,” he murmurs, not wanting her to change her mind about this.
Jungkook made her forget about the doubts as he deepened the kiss, causing her to softly moan. It made her feel embarrassed that an abrupt sound like that came out of her. She never made a sound like that before.

She felt his strong hands grab her wrists, pinning them on the bed, beside her head. His hands gradually slide up to her hands slowly intertwining his fingers with hers. He kept a firm grip, making her unable to escape his passion.

Jungkook took his time, placing sweet kisses on her face. From her cheeks, temples, to her jawline, he made her feel wanted and cared for.

He needed to stop kissing her like this. Every time he kissed her sweetly, he would glance at her lovingly before doing it again. His kisses were making her heart pound. She couldn’t take much more of this.

Turning her head to one side, she closes her eyes and lets out shaky breaths when she feels him shift down to her neck. His nose nuzzles against her neck before placing, soft and gentle kisses around it, leaving her panting from the foreign feeling.

‘Oh God...why am I enjoying this?’ she thought as she throws her head back against the pillow. She tightens her hands against his, writhing underneath him while trying to fight back any sounds. Of course, with Jungkook pinning her down to the bed, focused on her neck, she fails miserably, becoming undone.

Jungkook appeared to be satisfied with his efforts and her reactions because he lets out a low chuckle in response.

“Jungkook,” she whispers breathlessly as she felt his warm breath against her ear.

“Relax, baby girl…” he whispers, feeling her squirm from all the overwhelming and foreign feelings from her body.

This was torture, what he was doing to her, and she couldn’t do anything as he held her down. Never would she think that Jungkook would ever do this, especially to her.

Jennie ends up falling off her bed with a big thump. She quickly gets back to her feet. Snapping her head side to side, looking around, she notices that no one is in her room but her.

“What the hell...?” she places a hand on her hair, that was still in a bun and checks her phone to see no messages from Jungkook that indicated that he needed a massage tonight.

She then realized that she was just dreaming after eating the Korean Beef for dinner.

“Oh no. Oh my gosh, please. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.” she starts pacing around, in panic. “No. No. No.” she shakes her head repeatedly, trying to get the thoughts out of her mind.

It scared her that she just dreamed about her friend this way. “That meant nothing. That had to mean nothing.” she tries to convince herself. “No way. No way this would happen. Why did I dream of that? Why? Am I drunk? Did I eat one too many smarties? Get it together!”

She slaps her cheeks with her palms. Going into her small bathroom, she splashes her face with cold water and sits on top of the toilet seat, to collect her thoughts.

That imagination…came out of nowhere.

Jungkook would never think of this, would he?
He would never think of her like this, right?
So why did she think of him like that?

He probably never dreamed of her like that, either, so why did she?
He would never think about making out with her, would he?

She was so confused.

Friends don’t just make out with each other like they did in that dream and she shouldn’t be having these types of thoughts of him.

“This is wrong. We can’t...we’re friends.” she reminds herself. “Best friends. In a group. We are in a group, working together. Professionally. This…can’t happen. It meant nothing. It meant nothing, Jennie.” she tries to convince herself as she works on pretending that the dream didn’t happen.

Boy, it was going to be hard to act normal around Jungkook in the morning.
