The Bangtan Gal

Sweet 18

“Oh dear, the guys are at it again, huh?” Hayoon asks, taking a seat next to Jennie with the rest of the GFriend members.

They all decided to have breakfast together and catch up on what was going on in their lives. Jen had just informed them about the chaos that happened last night and she still was feeling some type of way.

“Yes! Oh my God! They threw up on my Nikes! Nikes! Of all things. I wouldn’t have cared if it was something else but my Nikes? I was irate.” Jen exclaims.

“And I’m sure some of those pairs are limited edition and can’t be replaced huh?” Sowon asks. “Loving my fashion and all, I understand how you feel.”

“A few were limited edition. And now they’re ruined. And one pair, my mom went through hell and back to get it for me because of the high demand! The one pair was the Nike Dunk Low Pro SB Paris and they’re impossible to find now and they threw up on them! I was one out of the 200 people to get them jawns! My mom told me that I wouldn’t be getting anything else for a couple years after she brought those expensive shoes for me. Like y’all do not understand. I love my Nike sneakers. Those were one of the rarest sneakers out there! Now it’s ruined...”

“Listening to all that makes me upset. I wouldn’t want any of my items to get ruined like that. And something so rare, too? They better do something for you.” Sowon shakes her head.

“They are just like I remembered. I wonder what they’re up to right now.” SinB ponders.

“Probably recovering from their headaches. I didn’t think they’d get that drunk. Sometimes you can’t leave those boys alone by themselves.” Jen shakes her head. “I love them. But I want to kill them.”

“Let’s just stay positive. Don’t worry. I know it’s upsetting but watch you get even better pairs than that.” Yuji responds. “Remember, always move forward.”

Jen sighs and nods. “Yeah…I guess.”

“Jennie, we heard about Bangtan’s contract with Puma! We’re so happy for you.” Eunha beams.

“Thanks…”

“Uh oh, you don’t seem so happy about Puma.” Yerin chimes in.

“It’s because she still wants to endorse for Nike.” Umji giggles.

Jen thought back to the day she found out about Puma.


Jennie had walked into Bang PD’s office, meeting the members as they all sit around. She heard about a contract for a big brand and assumed that maybe, just maybe it would finally be the opportunity she has been praying about for years. Endorsing for Nike.

The members shot worried glances at her, tensed and anxious to see her reaction to what Bang PD had to say. Noticing, Jen calls them out, “Okay don’t stare at me and not expect me to ask what is wrong.”

“Nothing, nothing.” Hobi shrugs.

“You sure? You good?” she looks around

“Yeah, we’re great,” Jin adds.

“Uh huh. Okay,” she responds, not convinced.

“Jennie, I’m glad you can join us. I called you all in here because we have a contract for you to sign, to endorse a big brand.” Bang PD mentions.

“Oh my god…is it-is it Nike?” she covers her mouth as she felt her eyes begin to water.

“Uh…not quite.” Bang PD responds with an apologetic smile.

“Not quite...?” Jen felt her life get sucked out of her as soon as he said that. “Okay well, who are we endorsing?” she blinks the tears away, trying not to hide her disappointment.

“Puma!” he presents the contracts

Staring at the contract, she starts laughing. “Wait, wait, wait, Puma?” she points to the contract.

“Yes!” Bang PD happily grins.

“Puma?”

“Yes, Puma.”

“What about Nike?”

“Here we go…” Yoongi murmurs while the members shift uncomfortably.

“Uh, I have to water my plant. I’ll see you.” Jimin quickly gets up.

“Sit down.” Jen orders in a harsh tone. Jimin shrieks and quickly goes back to his seat. “So, what about Nike? What is going on with Nike? Why not Nike? Nike is like, better! Nike is like, the best brand ever. Nike is my life.”

“I’m sorry, Jennie. They have not reached out to any of us for endorsements.” Bang PD explains.

“So, we’re not endorsing Nike?”

“No, we are not endorsing Nike.”

“And we’re endorsing Puma?”

“Yes, if you sign the contract.”

“No Nike?”

“No Nike, Jennie. I’m sorry.”

“Are you-are you kidding me?” she lets out a chuckle.

She asked herself this, wondering why Nike won’t let her endorse for them. Was it because she wasn’t an athlete? Should she switch her profession to tennis in order to get an endorsement?

“This is not a joke. You’ll love it. Puma is a great brand.”

“Oh my God, Puma? PUMA!? No Nike? After I have been trying my hardest to get noticed by this damn company, they still won’t holler at me! I don’t understand why the world is against me and Nike.” she buries her face in her hands. She sighs and signs the contract. “All right, Puma it is. Let’s do this. Thank you. Maybe Nike will see how badass I look in the Puma merch and give me a call.”

Bang PD laughs, while Namjoon explains, “She’s grateful for this, don’t worry. It’ll just take some time but she’ll love Puma.”

“As expected. I knew she was going to react like this.” Bang PD chuckles.

“My mom always tells me that good things happen to those who wait and to just leave to up to God, so I’ll continue to just wait on it," Jen responds. “My time will come. Maybe it’s not my time yet to endorse Nike because there is a bigger opportunity out there waiting. I’ll probably look back at this and laugh.”

The next day, in a better mood thanks to the new pairs of Nikes from the members, Jen went to school, wearing one of the pairs. They were forgiven, for now until they mess up again.

“Class, for today, we have a special guest coming in to teach you a short routine.” the dance teacher announces. “Please show her the same respect as you give me and give her your undivided attention. Please welcome, Jennie.”

Walking in with a duffle bag, Jennie waves and bows to everyone. An overwhelming sound of gasps, fanboying and fangirling filled the room because a BTS member would be dancing with them.

“Thank you for having me.” she beams. “Are we ready to have some fun?”

“Yes!” she heard an overwhelming response which brought a smile to her face.

“Okay, let’s stretch.”

After stretching, some eager fans in the class had asked her if they could take a photo with her.

“Let’s get this dance down first. And after that, I’ll take a photo with you. This dance needs to be your top priority, okay?”

Once she demonstrates the dance while playing My Style by The Black Eyed Peas, the students watched, astonished and intimidated at how fluid the dance was.

Seeing their facial expressions through the mirror, she turns around after finishing and smiles in reassurance.

“I know it looks complex, but we will go through this step by step, taking all the time we need. Don’t panic, you will get through this and get it right. Now let’s get started.”

The freshmen truly appreciated how patient she was with them. She was apart of Big Hit, their choreography was always powerful and outstanding. Learning from her would benefit them in the long run.

“Make sure that every move connects. Don’t rush it.” she helps one student.

“Like this?” the student does the move again.

“It looks like you’re so eager to go to the next step that you don’t finish the previous move.”

“Ugh, I’m never going to get this.”

“Hey, it’s fine. I was like this too when I first started dancing. It’s okay. Let’s not think about speed. Let’s take it slow first and then increase our speed. Take your time.”

After a few more tries, the student got it right.

Once finishing teaching everyone the dance, Jen danced with them twice and then sat out to watch them perform. Her heart was filled with joy to see her finished product look so nicely done by the students.

“Yes! Great job everyone! You have worked hard!” she applauds and as promised, took photos with them.

The Melon Music Awards approached fast as the members got ready for the event. With Jennie, the stylists were taking care of her hair and makeup after adjusting her long pink dress. Looking at herself in the mirror, she was in awe at the person staring back at her.

“WOW! I dunno how you stylists do it. You always know how to make me look good.” she spins around and checks out the dress. “I love this. This is so amazing, thank you.”

They all met up with the rest of the members who already had their attire for the red carpet.
“Okay, Jennie is all set. Are we ready to depart?” one stylist calls out.

Jungkook turned his head to the direction of the stylist and noticed Jen’s dress. His eyes widened, his mouth agape. He soon adjusted himself when he heard some of the staff members giggling at his reaction. Jungkook shyly looked down at the floor and blushed.

Jen noticed that each member had something pink on them to match with her. Jungkook and Jimin had pink ties, Jin and Yoongi had pink handkerchiefs, Taehyung had a pink bowtie and Namjoon and Hobi wore pink watches.

Jin turns around after getting his jacket adjust and widens his eyes. “Oh no. No. Why this dress?”

“We thought this was the best one for Jennie.” some stylists try to explain to him.

“Ahhhhh! Why are you growing up so fast for me?!” Jin complains, placing his hands on Jen’s shoulders as she laughs. “You were just sixteen! Look at how high the slit is! It’s showing so much leg! And is that a leg chain!? This is too sexy!”

“Keep a close distance with us. Heads will be turning to stare at you in that dress.” Namjoon adds with a soft laugh.

Jen spins around to show off the dress. “Come on, you have to admit I look pretty awesome in this, thanks to the stylists.”

“Yes, you look beautiful. Just, growing into a beautiful young lady right before my eyes...I can’t handle it.” Jin begins to tear up. Taehyung and Jimin start laughing at his overdramatic whining.

“Oh, my God…calm down,” Yoongi calls out. “Stop whining. She looks great. The dress suits her anyway.”

Arriving at the event in a van, while it was raining, the security guards had umbrellas up to make sure none of the idols were wet from the weather. Jen was in the van with Jimin, Taehyung, and Yoongi, behind the van that had Jin, Jungkook, Rapmon, and Hobi. Soon as the door opens, Jin walks out first, commencing the ‘Car Door Guy’ nickname, as the fans began screaming.

Jen was the last one out of the van, getting help from Jimin and Yoongi, to make sure her dress was fine. After meeting up with the rest of the members, they walk down the red carpet, waving and smiling at the fans.

Her dress caught a lot of attention from everyone, including the leg chain on her exposed leg. She had wanted to start wearing more body jewelry and thankfully the stylists allowed her to. It would be a nice trend to start.

As they stand to take photos while MCs, Seo Yuri and Heo Young Ji from KARA, talked about Bangtan, the members waved while the cameras kept flashing. During the interview, Rapmon talked on behalf of the group for a quick interview. Afterward, they were guided by security to head backstage.

Many idols were dressed in various suits and dresses in different colors and lengths. All looking stunning to Jennie as she walked by, bowing to various people.

“Jennie! You look amazing!” Hayoon rushes up to her for a hug.

“Girl! So, do you too! Nice legs. I love the white on you.”

“Really? Thank you!”

When Jen saw G-Dragon, she had to give him a hug and catch up on everything that has been happening. She told him that she wasn’t really nervous and was pumped for tonight. He had given her some advice on ways to relax when it came to performing on stage. She was always amazed at how YG Artists seem so chill at award shows and all casual.

When taking her seat with the rest of the members, sitting between Rapmon and Yoongi, she regarded that GFriend was sitting behind Bangtan and Big Bang was sitting in front. When G-Dragon had turned around, he met Jen’s gaze and they waved at each other.

“Ooh! Okay!” Jen grins as she sees Wonho jump out on stage with a smirk on his face. The camera caught her numerous times jamming to Monsta X’s performance as fans called her a huge stan of theirs.

And as soon as they began to perform Hero, she got hype and started singing along, “What, what, what, okay man, let’s go!

As the performance went on, a camera showed Rapmon, Jen, Yoongi, and Jin. Jen and Yoongi were already lip-syncing along, so they immediately looked at the camera, getting even more hyper together.

Best New Artist Award was up next and GFriend was up against some other girl groups. Jennie had her fingers crossed, obviously hoping that her friends would get this award. They really deserved it. Everyone watched on, anticipating the results and before they knew it, GFriend appeared on the screen.

“Yasssss!” Jennie happily claps. She turns around and stands up to applaud as she saw the members looking shocked and thrilled. GFriend began walking to the stage, bowing to everyone while Jen continued to cheer. “That is my best friend! My best friend! Yes, Hayoon! Yes! Strut!”

Hearing her cheer, Hayoon quickly ran up to hug her, tightly. “I can’t believe we won!” Hayoon exclaims.

“I am so proud of you! Now get up there, this is your moment!” she lets her go and watches her catch up with the other members.

Watching their acceptance speech, Jen had begun tearing up. They worked so hard for this. She was so proud. And then watching GFriend perform, Jennie couldn’t stop smiling.

There were so many fancams of her jamming out to IKON’s performance as some fans wondered what it would be like to party with Jen because she was so lively during award shows while a majority of the idols just sat there, nodding to the beat.

Backstage, the members stroll to their dressing room to get changed for their performance.
On her way to the dressing room, she bumped into Monsta X. “Yo! Your performance was friggin lit! Like wow! I‘m blown away. Amazing job, guys! Gotta go, bye!” she quickly told them before she had to rush to the dressing room. They had thanked her and told her they hoped to see her around to formally meet.

Jen wasn’t feeling the outfit for the performance but it is what it is. She did think it was cool they were using LED gloves. She felt like Iron Man. Before they went on stage, they did last minute rehearsals.

When they performed, everything went great and Jen loved the remix version of I Need U. The dance break, especially as her facial expressions, showed more emotion this time for the song.

“It’s over! It’s over! Woo!” J-Hope yells on camera as they walk backstage. Their performance went well after they prepared hard for it. Now they get to get back to their seats to enjoy the rest of the show.

Throughout the show, the camera would focus on various idols. When the camera focused on Jennie yet again, she looked up at the screen to see herself. She smiles softly and turns to the camera, giving it a small wave. Fans were screaming loud as soon as she popped up on the screen, cheering for Bangtan.

Later, they had won best dance performance which overwhelmed the members with joy.
“GO JENNIE!” Hayoon yells out of nowhere before shyly sitting back down after getting surprised stares. She was so quiet, it amused and caught everyone off-guard to see her like this as she was so supportive of Jennie.

Her sudden yell startled Jennie herself, and she let out a laugh, rushing over to give Hayoon a big hug. “I love you!” she smiles and turns back to walk on stage, meeting with the rest of the group for their acceptance speech.

Once Bangtan was backstage, they celebrated on camera for a Bangtan Bomb. “Look what we wooooooon!” Jen presents the award with Jimin as everyone starts yelling in cheers before dancing around.

“We suffered so much and finally won the dance awards. Teacher Sung Deuk worked so hard and finally, we got it!” Jimin beams

The show was exciting with great performances and cheers from the fandoms of each idol. Big Bang’s performance was her favorite throughout the entire show as she sung along with Taehyung. Not caring who was watching, she had to stand up and start dancing. Taehyung immediately joined her in the fun.

18 years old. Jennie was finally 18. Crazy how time flies.

In the morning, she woke up early, in a bright mood to record herself dancing to 50 Cent’s In Da Club.

Go, go, go, go go, go,
Go, shawty
It's your birthday
We gon' party like it's yo birthday

She posts the video on Twitter with the caption, ‘WOOOO! 18! Let’s go! Love you all! Thanks for the birthday wishes!’

She was overwhelmed with joy at the support from the fans and their birthday wishes. Amazing fanart and even tumblr posts. Fans even trended #HappySmartieDay to celebrate.

‘Thank you for being such an amazing black woman in K-Pop. Although we all can be tired of some of the BS over there, thank you for representing us and staying your natural, beautiful self.’

‘So down to earth and has grown so much as a performer. I am so proud of you, happy birthday queen!’

‘Happy birthday to the baddest bitch in K-Pop! Have a blessed day Jennie! LOVE YOU!’
‘You always look so healthy. Continue to eat well!’

‘Thank you for existing, without you, my confidence wouldn’t be as high because your representation of us colored girls, makes me feel amazing’

‘You show me that it doesn’t matter how you look, you can still do anything’

‘You don’t understand how much I love this girl! She makes me appreciate myself and my skin color’

Taehyung tweets an embarrassing photo of her sticking her tongue out with a face mask, ‘Happy Birthday Ennie! Love youuuuu! Please don’t hurt me’

“Oh my God…” Jen mutters as she looks at the photo of herself. “I’m going to kill him.”

She replies, ‘Oh HAIL no! You screenshotted me while we were on facetime!? #YouAreDead’

J-hope tweets two videos of her performing the milly rock and her teaching BTS the dance and then them performing and laughing. ‘#JenMillyRocksOnAnyBlock she does this dance the best. I can’t keep up, kekeke. Don’t challenge Munchkin to a Milly Rock dance off’

Jin tweets a video of her teaching him the lean back dance, ‘Thanks for helping me learn this dance. I think I do it better than you, now.’

Namjoon tweets a photo of her posing like he would for KimDaily.
‘Happy birthday, Jennie. You do KimDaily photos pretty well. Remember this? Giving me a run for my money.’ he tweets.

Jungkook tweets a short video of them performing a dance cover of Wonder Girl’s Rewind. ‘Happy birthday to my one and only golden best friend. She’s irreplaceable. Thanks for asking me to cover this with you.’

Yoongi had tweeted a photo of her asleep in his studio after a rap lesson. ‘I’m proud of you smartie. #HappySmartieDay #SmartieIsTheBest #ImAMasterofTagsNow’

Big Hit had released her dancing to Electric Lady with some of her idol friends while she was in her Janelle Monae costume. She had a blast filming for it.

“AHHHHHHHH!”

Turning in alarm, she was attacked by silly string in all directions as she tried to block her face. Laughter filled the room as she confirmed it was the guys.

“Happy birthday, Jennie!” she heard them shout.

She felt herself get thrown over someone’s shoulder and spun around as they began singing and dancing around. Meanwhile, Jimin had recorded the entire thing, laughing the background, hoping to post the video later on Twitter. Jen realized she was over Namjoon’s shoulder and begins laughing after he sets her down.

“Thanks, guys.”

“I made your favorite blueberry pancakes. Pancake mix straight from America. Come on!” Jin drags her out the room.

Walking into Big Hit’s building, she received many greetings as the staff wished her a happy birthday.

Even from Bang PD and he even tweeted two photos. One was the first photo they took together before debut, looking young, and then the other was a recent photo as he expressed how proud he was to have a young lady like her become Miss Bangtan in BTS. His words made her feel really good about herself and she even visited his office to thank him for everything. Thanking him for allowing her a spot in the company and all.

She felt so loved. This company was such a big family. She had also taken the time to thank each of the staff members for everything they have done for her from her trainee days until now. Whenever it was makeup, clothes, helping her mic, dropping her off some place, everything she appreciated. And they were touched by her kind words.

When inside her studio, she noticed Yoongi was waiting for her, sitting at her desk with a large pink box in his hands. Turning around, he smiles softly and presents it to her.

“Happy birthday, Smartie.”

“Ahaha, you remembered.” she looks at the Hello Kitty box. “I really don’t want to cry today.” she chuckles and begins to read.

“Sorry but I have a birthday rap made for you. To my annoying Nike loving Smartie,” he responds and began to rap for her.

After he finished, she pulls him in for an embrace. “Thank you for this.”

Before she knew it, the members came inside with a big cake, filled with candles as she laughs. The Bangtan Bomb recorder was there too, to record everything.

“Thanks, guys. Yo, this cake looks so good. Hang on a sec, I have the perfect song.” she puts on Cut It and starts bumping to the beat. “Cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it. This cake looks way too good, we need to cut it. This cake looks way too good, we need to cut it!”

“You’re so corny. Cut the cake already, I want to eat a slice.” Yoongi exclaims.

“Hey! She gets first dibs.” Jin calls out

“Take as much time as you want,” Hobi adds

“Can I have the strawberries on the cake?” Taehyung starts reaching for one.

“ARMY brought something for you.” Jungkook brings a big box to her.

“The heck is this? ARMY didn’t have to do this.” she examines the box in amazement.
ARMY raised money to buy her a custom made purple electric guitar with each of the members’ names engraved on it and other encouraging messages.

She hadn’t talked about wanting an electric guitar for a long time but the fact that ARMY remembered, and they did something like for her, made her cry as she wiped her tears. As if the birthday bus advertisement wasn’t enough, this took the cake.

Jen sniffs, “I don’t understand what I did to deserve such loving fans. Thank you ARMY, you’re the best.”

A few days later, Namjoon and Jennie were in Namjoon’s studio, patiently waiting for Angelina to arrive. She was just a few minutes away from arriving at the Big Hit building, and Jen noticed Namjoon trying to remain calm.

“You are freaking out.” she teases.

“I-I’m not.”

“Sure. Just make sure you don’t freeze when you meet her in person.”

“Why would I freeze?”

‘He is so going to freeze.’ she thought.

Before they knew it, Jennie found Angelina at the building. “FINALLY!” Jennie shouts and jumps on top of her, making them both fall down.

“Ahh! You got heavier!” Angelina laughs. “I missed you!”

“Missed you more! I am so happy you’ll be staying for a while.” Jen gets up. “Come on, let me introduce you to the guys. Let’s go. We have a lot to talk about.” She beckons her to follow her.

Once they made it to where the members were, Jennie decided to introduce her to Namjoon first. She had a feeling Angelina really wanted to see him, so she decided to fulfill her wishes.

And like Jennie predicted, he froze. He stood there, stunned in his studio.

“Hi.” Angelina softly greets. “Wow, you look cuter in person, good Lord.”

“H-hi. You look even more beautiful in person.” he stumbles over his words

Jen snorts. He was smitten and it was adorable to see him like this. Namjoon was about to go for a handshake but then decided to hug her.

‘Aw…’ Jen smiles.

Jen had told Angelina about what was going on in Bangtan and the three of them had a long conversation about everything. Miss Bangtan began to feel mischievous and decided to tease Namjoon.

“Oh! Angelina, you got to hear Expensive girl. It’s funny as hell. I could not stop laughing when I first heard it. He singlehandedly killed ARMY with this song.” Jen adds.

Namjoon widens his eyes. “Nah, nah, we don’t need to listen to that. Let’s talk about something else.”

“Ignore him. I have it right on my phone.”

“Woman, don’t do it. Do not do it!” he warns while Angelina starts giggling.

“What? What? Let her listen! Her mind is as dirty as yours so she’ll love the song regardless.”

“Ah...why me?” he whines as she plays it loud for them all to hear. Jen had to control her laughter as the song played. Namjoon felt his face warm up and glanced at Angelina who looked amused but into the song.

Once the torture was over, Angelina speaks, “You’re really cute, you know that? I like the song.”

Namjoon stares at her in surprise. “Y-you do?”

“Yeah. I really do.”

“Well, I gotta go, so, I’ll see you two later. Namjoon can introduce you to the rest of the members.” Jen stands up.

“Wait you’re leaving?” Namjoon asks in alarm. He was so nervous, he didn’t’ want Jen to leave, yet. He felt like he’d say something wrong in English or something.

Truth be told, Angelina was also nervous. Her best friend was leaving her alone with Namjoon and she lost count how many times her heart raced or how flushed she felt.

“Bye!” Jennie leaves the studio. She wanted to give them some alone time. They deserved it. Turning around, she sees Jungkook and smiles.

“Hyung froze, huh?”

“At first glance. It was hilarious.”

“Did hyung ask her out, yet?”

“They’re working on it. I’m just happy that she’s happy. Haven't’ seen her like that in a while.”

Throughout the rest of the day, Jen spent time practicing choreography with Hobi and then stayed in her studio. Angelina walked inside and sat with her.

“What?” Angelina glances away after being stared at.

“You’re glowing.” Jen confirms.

“What you mean?”

“You’re smiling so widely, it’s cute.”

“Hush.”

“So…”

“What? Stop Staring!”

“I want the tea, sis.”

She chuckles nervously. “Well…we’re gonna have a little studio date soon.”

Jen fist pumps. “All right! Namjoon is a sweetheart and a gentleman. I know you will have a great time. I’m just happy to see you happy. I really hope that maybe you two can date. Despite him being an idol and you being in America as a rapper, I’m sure it will all work out.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“Thank you. I really like him. Are you sure you’re cool with me dating your leader?”

“Um, that’s not my decision. Do whatever you want. If that is what Namjoon wants, then I will support him. You two look so happy with each other, I highly encourage you two to date.”

“Okay. I’ll keep you posted on how things go.”

“Good.”

“Ooh girl, I have some very exciting news to tell you.”

“What happened?”

“Guess who I will be collabing with pretty soon?”

“Who?

“The Weeknd!”

“Holy! Are you for real?!”

“Yes!”

“That’s huge! You’re going to blow up even more after this!”

“Ah, you really think so? This is such a dream come true, collabing with my favorite artists. It’s such a blessing. There is just so much stuff I want to do. I hope I can do it.”

“You can and you will. I’ll be right there to support you. I’ll always have your back. No matter what.”

“This is why I love you.”

Finally, after a year hiatus, Jennie had her singing exhibit again. She underestimated the number of people that wanted to attend. It was much bigger and she’ll have to think about bigger venues or even other areas to have it since it was such a high demand.

But although a lot of BTS fans came, she really wanted those that simply love to sing and want to sing or learn to sing. That was her goal when she first started the event back during her Amity days. She’ll have to make a future announcement about that. Despite a large number of people, things remained under control and she stayed until she met every single person and bonded over their passion for singing.

Once the event ended, she stayed to clean up with the staff members and Sejin stayed with her until she was ready to go back to the dorm.

“Wait, please, I know it’s over but can I please see her?” a desperate male voice calls out.
Jen stops cleaning up and sees a black male, that looked exhausted.

“Hey, you can let him in,” Jen reassures the security.

The boy sighs out of relief and walks in. “This was not how I wanted to meet you. I’m a hot mess, right now. I had no time to prepare, I’m sweaty, I’m tired, but I’m here.”

“Why were you in such a rush? And where are my manners, hi!”

“Hi!” he laughs. “I had to stay late for a college class due to a big project. It was so frustrating. I really wanted to be here on time. I never was able to attend any of your events.”

“Hey, education comes first. Sit down, chill with me.”

“A-are you serious?”

“Yeah. Yoongi can wait a little bit.”

“Ah, that’s right, you’re still learning how to rap from him?”

“Yep, loving every session with him.”

“Oh well, I don’t want to hold you up.”

“Nah, it’s fine. Come on and Yoongi is probably working on music, anyway.”

They sit down and Jen smiles. The guy was shocked that he didn’t feel nervous around her. It was like talking to an old friend.

“Thank you. I can’t believe I’m sitting with THE Miss Bangtan. You always slay my life when you’re on stage!”

“Aw, thank you. How was your project? What was it for?”

“An art project. I believe I passed.”

“Good. I’m thrilled to hear that. What’s your major?”

“Art. I’m studying abroad for all of my college years.”

“Wow! What do you want to do with that?

“A lot of things actually. One thing I’d love to do is be a graphic designer.”

“Wow, keep doing what you’re doing. You have my full support.”

“I will. I also sing too. I’m doing both.”

“Sing for me.”

He sings a few notes of Oui by Jeremih, which blows her away. She enthusiastically complimented him on his skills.

“Really? That means so much coming from you.” he grins. “Hey, do you want to go to college when you graduate SOPA?”

“Most definitely. I’d like to go to a college in America but I’m not sure yet since I’m here in Korea, as a member of BTS. We’ll see.”

“Do you have any idea what you want to do?”

“To be honest, I have no idea what I want my major to be or what I want to do in college. But I still have time. You said you’re an artist, can I see what you have drawn?”

“Yeah, of course!” he shows her some of his work from his portfolio in his school bag.

“Damn, this is phenomenal! Very aesthetic!”

“I also have an art show coming up.”

“You do? When? Where?”

“This Saturday evening.” he shows her the location.

“I’m actually free that day. I’d like to come if you don’t mind.”

“W-what? Are you for real?”

“Yeah, why not? I just love supporting anyone that’s black. Everyone wants to bring us down but we will continue to do what we can to prosper. And with what you’re doing, I really don’t see a lot of black artists that often, even though I know there are a lot of talented ones out there that should get a lot of recognition. You have a gift. Heck, I might just buy something from you. Can I get your Instagram?”

“Deadass?”

“Deadass, let’s keep in touch by DMing each other. I want to see how your journey progresses.”

“Yo, you are like...pure girlfriend material. Your support is everything. Whoever is the man you date, will remain grounded and able because of your constant support. Don’t ever change, Jennie. Thank you for this.”

“You are very welcome.”

Afterward, they take a selfie and he posts it on his social media with the caption, ‘It was a blessing to come here late. Thank you for everything!’

Once Jen arrived back in her dorm, she was exhausted from the event and then from her rap lessons with Yoongi. All she wanted to do was sleep. Headed to her room, she saw Angelina on her bed, not looking too happy. She heard her sniffing, and she realized that she had been crying.

“Whoa, whoa, what’s wrong with you?” Jennie quickly rushes over to her as Angelina wipes her tears.

“It’s the collab...”

“What about the collab?”

“I’m not collabing with him, anymore.”

“What do you mean you’re not doing the collab with him anymore?”

“I don’t know! Apparently, there’s some dirt on me for being problematic. There are rumors that I’m not the best person to work with. It’s all bullshit.”

“Are you serious…?” Jen frowns.

“Look, I know I have a little bit of a mouth, but I’ve matured. Like damn, I love The Weeknd. I busted my butt to get that collab and now it’s gone…it’s so unfair man, I worked so hard to earn that spot…”

Jennie pulls her in for a hug. A lot of questions were on her mind. She thought about who would want to ruin something like that for Angelina and who got the spot instead.

‘This just doesn’t make any sense…’ Jen thought to herself. How could they confirm their collab and then change their mind so suddenly?


Saturday rolled around quickly as she attended the boy’s art show. His paintings were stunning and he even surprised her with a drawing of BTS for Big Hit to hang in one of their studios. She was glad she came and took a bunch of photos, posting them on her Twitter, asking ARMY to support his work.

Yoongi had also tagged along with her, admiring the work that the college students put out.
The boy's parents even came to Seoul to see their son, and Jennie had happily introduced herself, telling them how talented their son is.

“This is for you. To support all your artistic needs and other opportunities.” Jen presented him a gift basket. Along with it was an envelope that had a nice sum of cash for him to help with his future.

While she and Yoongi signed the back of his artwork for him, writing some encouraging messages, some artists were fans of BTS and asked for photos.

Once Yoongi excused himself to use the bathroom, Jennie continued to look at the other artwork from other artists.

“Wow! This looks amazing. This is yours?”

She heard a familiar voice.

It couldn’t be…
Not here of all places…
Not now…

Jennie feared for the worst and slowly turns around to see Hailey talking to one of the artists, who seemed starstruck because she was an Amity fan.

Jen had remembered that Amity would be having their world tour in Seoul, and it looked like they were already here. At least Hailey was. But it didn’t make any sense.
Why was she here? She had no business here what so ever.

Jen frowns as she watched Hailey have her manager film her giving the girl a big sum of cash to help with school. The girl began to get emotional and kept thanking her for everything.

Taking a selfie, Hailey immediately posted it on social media as her fans would comment on how much of a ‘generous queen’ she was and that she was an ‘amazing leader’.

Once everyone left to go to the other room for some refreshments and other activities, Hailey and Jen were left alone in the room.

Jen’s eyes closed in dissatisfaction as she heard the dreaded voice of the person she wanted to avoid forever. This was not the time nor place for any of this.

“Quitter! Long time no see!” Hailey beams, watching her open her eyes, staring at her unamused. “I missed you! Wow, your hair looks nice. Did you gain a little weight, too? Guess that Korean food is making you a little thick. Nice. You look wonderful. How’s BTS? Heard about your little comeback that’s coming up. Let’s see if you’ll finally get an award this time. And let us see if the song is actually good. The others…eh…not so much. I bet those first wins for I Need U were pity awards.”

Jennie clenches her jaw, continuing to look annoyed by her presence. ‘Not worth it…bite your tongue.’ she told herself.

Just why of all places did she have to come here and pull that half-assed publicity stunt during her moment with a fan?

“I get it, I get it.” Hailey chuckles, understanding her reaction. “You are so happy to see me that you’re speechless!”

Jen slowly shakes her head in disappointment. “Why do you always feel the need to one-up me…? Everyone? You never let anyone have their time to shine or have their moment. You always make it about you. Always…”

“Whatever do you mean?”

“Everything I do, you try your darndest to do it extra.”

“Where are your receipts?”

“I learned Korean because I love the culture and wanted to communicate with everyone if I ever got the opportunity come to Seoul and be a K-Pop idol. And now I’m here, blessed. But with you, you learned it out of spite to get back at me. You said it was a waste of time and that you hated it, years ago.”

“Okay, and?”

“My songs in my notebook which you took? I wrote what I was feeling. What was on my mind. And then Songstress changed it into unmeaningful lyrics for a single.”

“We made the songs better.”

“And then here at this art show. What I did with my fan was from the heart, not for attention. I don’t need the media to know when I give someone money or whatever. I just do it from the heart. You, on the other hand, do it for publicity, posting everything on social media, lying to the public about who you really are.”

“Do I now?”

“You’re fake and you’re a phony.”

“Ouch….”

“It won’t be too long before everyone knows what Songstress is doing to screw Angelina and me over to make you guys look better. They won’t let it go, huh? That we left? That we found a better home to showcase our talent with music? That we’re more successful without the company? That we’re happy? That it took you all a while to bounce back and gained new fans because two members left? Even if you guys are more popular now, Amity is not how it used to be. It’s not a group. It’s just Hailey and the backups.”

“Wow! I can just feel the animosity you have towards me and I just want to know if you’re going to do something about it. Because with Angelina, she retaliated over the years. Got on my bad side and now she’s in the state that she’s in, losing that collab with The Weeknd and now Trinity has it.”

Jennie quickly got in her face, narrowing her eyes. She had a feeling Songstress had something to do with it. How heartbroken her best friend was when she found out she lost that collab with him is an image that will never leave her head.

“Good, good. Get angrier. I’m just waiting for you to snap too, that’s all. Your mind is just a ticking time bomb. I’m just patiently waiting. You know, I really like when you guys get so pressed when it comes to me. Angelina, she always has my name in her mouth. You, you’re better. You never talk about me like she does but the fact that when you look at me and you get so mad, even a little intimidated, just makes this entire scenario more entertaining.”

Jen scoffs and shakes her head. “I knew it. I knew there was a pattern. First, her losing out on winning an award at the MTV Video Music Awards when you knew Angelina was getting higher votes than the other nominees and you knew damn well she deserved it. And now losing the song to collab with The Weeknd. Suddenly Trinity has it now. Did Songstress pay to decrease her votes or something for the award? What did you guys do?”

“Who knows, maybe she has a lot of enemies. Or the competition is just too much and she’s not as good as she thinks she is. Maybe Trinity was a better fit for the collab.”

“Un-believable…you and Songstress have got to be the shadiest people ever.”

“And are you planning on doing something? You want to end up like Angelina? I mean, after showing how problematic she is, I’m sure everyone was pretty convinced to not work with her, anymore. I’d try to stay on my good side if I were you. And hey, don’t get mad at me. It’s just business.”

“No. It’s just spiteful. You’re garbage.”

“Yeah, Angelina tells me that all the time.” she shrugs. “Oh, and before I forget…your belated birthday gift. And a VIP pass to see how great we are.” Hailey presents a ticket to Amity’s upcoming concert in Seoul.

“Not interested.”

“That’s a VIP ticket, you know there are a lot of people that would kill for a VIP ticket to an Amity concert. But why am I not surprised? You were always ungrateful.”

“Do me a favor and stay away from me.”

“Wow, I came all the way here and you gonna treat your old leader like this?”

Something told Jennie that the Lord was testing her and she could only hope that she has the strength to not do anything she will regret in the future during Amity’s stay in Korea.

“I am not joking. Stay away from me. Leave Angelina alone and back off of anyone from Big Hit. I don’t care if it’s a stylist, stay away. I am not in the mood, I am in a good place and I am not letting you fuck it up.”

“Ma’am, yes ma’am! Just tell Angelina that Trinity will let her know how the collab goes! See you around, quitter.”

Once Jennie watched her leave the building, she takes her phone out her pocket and ends the voice recording, saving it.

Something told her to record and she was glad that she listened to her gut feeling. She was going to do whatever she can to get that collab back to Angelina and clear her name from all those lies Songstress said. She didn’t deserve any of this and Jen couldn’t stand back and watch it happen anymore.

It was time to clap back. She had enough of Amity’s foolery and it was going to end very soon.

As Hailey walked out of the room, she noticed Yoongi and calls him out. “Well! If it isn’t boyfriend number six!”

“I thought you were leaving.” Jen meets up with Yoongi, narrowing her eyes at her.

“I was but you didn’t tell me boyfriend number six was here. Suga, was it? Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Hailey.”

Yoongi ignores her. “Jennifer.”

Every time Yoongi said her full name, she knew he was dead serious.

“Yeah?” she asks, watching him turn his head to her.

“Is this the person that’s been causing you trouble over the years…?”

Hailey scoffs. “Me? First of all, she is the one that’s been causing-“

“Was I talking to you?” Yoongi responds bluntly.

“I don’t appreciate that attitude you’re giving me. But the music that you make for BTS, it is a failure, so…I can see why you’re so bitter. Your music is such a failure.”

“I know but we didn’t ask about your music. We know your music is a failure.”

“Excuse me-“

“You’re excused. I can literally see the shit coming out of your mouth from all these lies you’ve said. You lost a dime. Took Jennifer for granted and now you try so hard to ruin the success that she has because you know that she is better than you. She is better than you as a person and better than you as a performer. She earned everything. You were handed everything and you keep coming back, popping up where you are irrelevant to whatever is going on. This stunt won’t make your phony ass relevant.”

“Are you friggin kidding me? I was not handed everything and how dare you say to my face that this ignorant stupid bitch is better than me!?”

Jen was about to open up her mouth, bothered that she name called her but halts once Yoongi raised up his hand, signaling her to stop.

“A stupid bitch? If I remember correctly, I’m looking at one, right now. And the woman standing next to me is nowhere near what you described. So if I were you, I’d choose my words wisely.”

Jen lets out a soft chuckle at his comment. He wasn’t wrong, that’s for sure, and Hailey’s agape reaction made it even funnier.

“You really going to insult me of all people like this?”

“I’m not insulting you, I’m just describing how pathetic you really are. Are you done embarrassing yourself? If so, you can get the fuck out of here. And I highly suggest you leave Jennifer alone. Don’t piss me off.” he adds in a harsh tone. A tone which surprised Jennie. She never saw Yoongi like this before.

Hailey was so stunned, she couldn’t even say anything as she felt intimidated by him and took a step back. “S-so you have little boyfriend fight your battles for you?” she turns her attention to Jennie.

“Nah, Jennifer can handle herself pretty well. I just want you to shut the fuck up. So, why are you still standing here, looking stupid? Get the fuck out of here and go back to your group. And if I see you around Jennifer again or cause her any more problems, we will have a problem. So, think wisely.” Yoongi roughly grabs Jen’s hand and leaves the building.

“I knew it was that bitch! I’m gonna fuck her up!” Angelina yells, pacing around the studio after Jennie played the recording for everyone. Her sudden outburst scared a few of the members, who had no idea what she was yelling in English.

“No, Ang!” Jen exclaims.

“What do you mean no!? You gonna let this bitch do this to me!?” she snaps. “I am going to kill her-“

“Do not let her have that power over you.” she snaps back. “I know it’s difficult, I want to hit her as much as you do but we cannot go that route. It is not worth it. I need you to listen to me because I have a plan and I want this to work. But you need to simmer down in order for this to go well, okay? I got you, I always got you.”

Angelina exhales and sits back down, meanwhile, Jen had translated everything that was going on to the members and they were not too happy about the situation.

“It’s time to clap back,” Jen announces. “I want to end this once and for all.”
