Jungkook was grinning ear to ear when watching Jennie’s recent tweet with her manager’s daughter. It was pleasing to see her smile but also seeing her face made him think back to that day he told her how he felt.

He felt vulnerable that day, letting all his defenses down as he poured his heart out to her. After standing by, admiring her, he had finally said everything he wanted to tell her. She was the one he wanted to be with and he felt assured that this was the woman he wanted to be in a relationship with.

The Golden Maknae couldn’t help but think of how nervous he was before knocking on her door. How sick to his stomach he was as he thought about her feelings and if he was prepared to face the consequences if his confession goes south.

He thought about the aftermath of leaving her hotel room.

---

After Jungkook walked back to his hotel room door, he lets out a sigh and leans against the wall, thinking about what he had done.

God, he wanted to kiss her again. He wanted to do so much more in that room but he needed to control himself. If only she wasn’t leaving, he wondered what else they would’ve done.

He still felt her lips on his and he couldn’t help but think of how right it felt. His heart was beating to its limit while he reminisced about how she grabbed him and kissed back. The anxiousness and doubts in his head had simmered down and he felt a sense of relief that he finally told her everything.

Now, all he had to do was wait for her answer.

Walking into his room, Jimin and Taehyung immediately rushed over, eager to know exactly what happened.

“Well!?” Taehyung shouts

“How did it go!?” Jimin exclaims.

“Did she take it well?!”

“What did you say!?”

“What did you do!?”

“Did she tell you she likes you back!?”

Jungkook exhales and sits on the bed as his hyungs crowded around him. “I told her everything that was on my mind.”

“And!?” his hyungs shout, shaking him.

“Her reaction was just as I expected.”

“She was surprised, right?” Jimin assumes, earning a nod from the Golden Maknae.

“Did it look like she feels the same but was trying to fight it?” Taehyung adds.

Jungkook turns to him, a little surprised. “How’d you-“

“Well, I did meet her before all of you. So, I think I know her just a little more than you guys.” Taehyung giggles proudly.

“Lies, I know her better,” Jimin exclaims as the 95 Liners bicker.

“I kissed her.”

Jungkook’s sudden statement caused the two of them to look at him in astonishment.

“Kissed!? KISSED!? AHHHHHHHHH~!” Jimin screams while him and Tae grab onto each other, yelling and jumping around on the bed. That wasn’t expected. This was their Christmas. After all this time, it was finally happening. Jungkook finally became a man

“I knew it! I knew they would get carried away.” Taehyung cheers.

“See! What did I say?” Jimin giggles.

Jungkook felt himself blushing as he looks away, a little embarrassed from their constant loud cheering.

“What exactly did you do?”

“We want details. Now!”

Jungkook looks down, shyly. “Let’s…discuss this later.”

“No! Tell us now!” Jimin demands. “We have been waiting for this moment! The least that you can do is tell us!”

“The Maknae Line tell each other everything! Come on!” Taehyung whines.

Jungkook rubs the back of his neck. “We...kind of…kissed again and again.”

“Kind of means definitely.” Jimin giggles

“I don’t know what came over me but I just didn’t want her to leave and get seconds thoughts about what we were doing. When it felt like she was going to pull away, I just grabbed her back, continuing to kiss her to prove how I felt.”

“This is how you do it.” Jimin applauds.

“Jungkook has become a man, ladies, and gentlemen. I am a proud brother.” Taehyung praises.

“What else? Did she say anything?”

Jungkook nods. “She told me that we shouldn’t be doing this, so I just asked her if she really meant what she said. I dunno but the look in her eyes, she just looked like she really wanted to but was trying to fight it. So when she couldn’t say yes, I kissed her again and we ended up against the wall-“

“WALL!?” Jimin wails, falling off the bed with Taehyung who yells in happiness.

“She was the one who pushed me to the wall, actually. She was all over me.”

“E-Ennie!? Our Ennie?! All over YOU!? She was kissing YOU on her own FREE will, with no regrets!? Oh, mah God…that must be a huge sign! Taehyungie, we are about to see our plan succeed~!” he cheers with him.

“I was a bit surprised myself, but I really liked how she just grabbed me so suddenly, taking the lead. I should’ve sat down when I picked her up though…” the Golden Maknae murmurs

“Wait, you did WHAT!?” Jimin hollers

“WHAT!?” Taehyung adds

“I may have picked her up and let her wrap her legs around me.”

“I am so proud of you!” Jimin shakes the 97 Liner. “Wow, where did you learn how to do this stuff?”

“I’m pretty sure he knows exactly what he’s doing when he’s around females.” Taehyung giggles.

“I’m glad you two weren’t around Jin. He’d probably have a heart attack if he saw the position you two were in.”

---

Jungkook then thought about the conversation he had with Namjoon after letting him know that he finally told her how he felt. Namjoon was proud that he confessed and liked the fact that he was still considerate of her feelings, understanding that he told her on short notice and he would still be friends if she doesn’t return his feelings. But Namjoon had a strong feeling that she would, so Jungkook did not need to worry.

---

“Why are you so worried?” Yoongi grumbles from his nap on the couch.

Jungkook turns to him. “What do you mean, hyung?”

“Jeez, stop whining. I’m pretty sure she feels the same. Just relax and wait for her to come back. You kids overthink things too much. It’s pretty damn obvious to me that she likes you, anyway.”

“I-I’ll wait for her to confirm it when she comes back.” Jungkook looks down shyly.
Every time he heard his hyungs say that she likes him too, it had given him a lot of butterflies in his stomach.

---

Back to Jennie, she had felt Jimin’s stare burning into her as he patiently anticipated her answer.

“How would you feel if I, your friend, randomly walked up to you one night and said, ‘Jimin, I’m in love with you’ and kissed you?”

Jimin giggles and grins sheepishly. “Well, I’d be flattered, because it’s you Ennie.”

“Oh, my gosh…of course you’d say that.” she chuckles. “It took me a while but...I can’t deny these feelings anymore.”

“So…?” he leans forward.

“Yes. It’s true. I love him- “

Jimin’s sudden happy scream cuts her off as he falls off the bed. Jennie stares at her phone in alarm.

“Jimin?” she calls out. “Where’d you go? Oh my gosh…really?”

Jimin had to run out of the room to drag Taehyung into his room. Jennie heard loud, happy rambling and soon saw the screen face the ceiling because Jimin had accidentally made his phone fall on the table with a loud thump.

“Woooooooow...so you gonna drop me?” she playfully scolds.

“Sorry! Sorry!” Jimin grabs his phone and shakily puts it back in place. He then sits back on the bed with Tae. “Now say what you just said again!”

“What did she say?” Taehyung asks.

“Just listen! Come on, Jennie! Say it one more time!”

Jen shakes her head, amused. “You guys are ridiculous. I said yes, it’s true. I’m in love with Jungkook-“

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!” the 95 Liners scream loudly, making her wince at the loud noise.

“Is that really necessary?” Jennie starts laughing. “You guys are a piece of work.”

“Finally! FI-NAL-LY!” Taehyung praises while tears develop in his eyes.

“T-Taehyung are you crying?” she asks in disbelief

“N-No!” he wipes the tears from his eyes.

“Jeez. Is it really that serious-"

“YES!” The 95 Liners shout, causing her to lean back in surprise.

“Well damn.”

“Yeah, damn! Do you know how many people been waiting for this moment!? How many chapters it’s been?” Taehyung exclaims.

“When are you coming back!? What are you even going to tell him when you come back?!” Jimin asks.

“I’m…a little nervous to see him,” Jen admits.

“Don’t be!” Taehyung beams. “How about we bring Jungkook here, now?”

“I want to see him face to face to tell him. So, please don’t bring him here to facetime,” she responds.

Taehyung nods. “That’s actually better. We need to think of a plan to get you two alone.”

“Guys, you’ve done enough, I got it-“

“No way! We must see this through!” Jimin proudly announces. “We have just the plan! Bye Jennie, enjoy your time in America!”

“Aye! Don’t you dare hang up on me!” she yells but the call ends. “I’ma kick their damn asses when I get back. Hanging up on me, are you serious?” she grumbles and tosses her phone on the couch, grabbing the remote.

The next day, after her photo shoot and interview with Billboard, Jennie felt elated for when it would be released to the public. She decided to go get lunch after the long morning.

While walking through the streets of LA alone, she couldn't help but notice two extremely familiar figures and decided to follow them to get a closer look.

Was it who she thought it was?

Soon as she heard one of their voices, it confirmed everything.

“No friggin way. You gotta be kidding me. I can’t believe this. Tony? Nate?” she calls out.

The two men turn around and widen their eyes. “Jennie!?” Nate happily yells.

“Jen!” Tony beams.

“Yooooooo!” she runs over and hugs them. “It’s been forever! I missed you guys!”

“We missed you too! What brings you back to LA? I thought you were in Seoul.”

“Had a few interviews. Gosh, how have you two been!? We need to hang, like right now! I’m on my way to eat, are you doing anything?”

“Actually we were on our way to grab something to eat, too. Let’s go, we’ll show you this nice spot that has some good ass food.” Nate suggests.

“Definitely!” Jennie beams.

Once they get settled in a nearby restaurant and get their food, they begin catching up like old times.

“BTS has definitely soared since American Hustle Life.” Nate praises.

“Oh yeah, I am so proud of us. We are really grateful for you guys. It’s just crazy how things are now for us. Getting our first win for I Need U, gaining more fans and just sharing more quality music for the world, I’m very happy with where we are at, right now. What are you guys doing? You still working on music, right?”

The two men sounded so enthusiastic about their music projects and Jennie couldn’t wait to hear what they had in store. She admired their hustle and work ethic even after American Hustle Life.

“Now the real question is are YOU working on music? Where is that album, girl?” Tony asks.

Jennie laughs. “I have a ton of songs on my computer that I wrote. I have to record all of them but the first thing is making better instrumentals. Everyone is always asking these days. It makes me nervous. I don’t think I’ll be releasing anything, any time soon.”

“Well, I want you to let me know when you begin working on it full time because I want to help you on the album.” Nate offers.

That surprised Jennie as she stares at him in disbelief. “Are you deadass?”

“Yeah! And me too. We can always help you, y’know?” Tony adds

“Wow, thank you, that would be great. I could use all the help I can get. It’s nice to work with a team on a project like this. Suga and Rapmon also have been glancing at what I’ve been working on. They told me they can see what I’m aiming for. I just don’t think it’s nowhere near done.”

“It’s best to take your time with the music. Now is it a mixtape or album?” Tony asks

“I want to create a full album. I kind of wanted my songs to go by a timeline. Back from when I started in Amity until where I’m at now. So, kind of like a story. I want to express my emotions. Like how happy I was in Amity, then how angry and sad I was in Amity. Then moving on to BTS, feeling various emotions from that. Like how I passed out and had that concession, you know, just a whole story of what I have gone through in life. The good times and low times. And then some random songs, too.”

“I see. I like the idea. Yeah, hit us up when you’re finally ready. I just hope it’s soon. I’m gettin’ real eager to help you with this.” Nate grins.

“Will do. BTS misses you guys, so much. You gotta come down to Seoul when you get the chance.”

“Oh yeah, we got to. Gotta talk about the good old days at American Hustle Life.”

“For me, haha I dunno about them. I think they’re still traumatized with vans, thinking they’ll be kidnapped like last time.” she laughs with them.

After their lunch, they take a photo together with Jennie tweeting, ‘My album is coming out 20-eventually! Ahahaha good to see you guys! Glad I ran into you two! Missed you! Thank you for everything.’

Some fans had tweeted under the photo,
‘HOLY SHIT!’
‘Is this real!?’
‘Someone check on Jimin! Lmfaoooo’
‘Tonyyyyyyyy! Nateeeeee! The memories!’
‘Who are they???”
‘They were the mentors for BTS during American Hustle Life! Watch it!’

After lunch, Jennie finally met up with Kevin to go shopping at Target for a few items so he could ask out the girl he likes. She was amused to see how nervous and out of place he was as he tried to find the most random things to put in the cart.

“Um, I don’t think you want to give her that.” she takes out the box of baby toys.

“Oh shit. I thought those were something else. Ah…sorry. I was trying to find a plush doll for her or something.” Kevin nervously says.

“Dude, relax. You’re going to be fine.” she pats him on the back and continues to push the cart into another aisle. “Get her this.” she grabs a big Tweety Bird plushie.

“I am so glad you’re here. I wouldn’t know what to get.” he takes it and puts it in the cart. “I just want to make it simple, cute and special.”

“I think you’re over thinking it. She is going to love it.”

While Jen and Kevin were shopping around they were unaware of some sasaengs that had followed Jennie, taking photos of them. From the angles of the pictures, it looked like they were dating because of how close they were. Once they got what they needed, they had posted the photos on Twitter and it had spread like wildfire.

‘I found Jennie and Kevin!! Aren’t they cuteee?!’ was the caption for the tweet.

While browsing on her phone, Jennie had gone to her latest photo to see various comments flowing in. The most common comment she had gotten was that she and Kevin were relationship goals. It made her confused but she laughed it off and commented, ‘Lol @ these comments. **Best friend goals, actually.’

But then she saw that there were dating rumors on them. And of course, it had to be on Allkpop as she scrolls through.

‘BREAKING! BTS’ Jennie dating?!’

“What…? How do you…” she stood there puzzled. How could they write an article and have a photo of them that quick when they are already here at the store?

Unless…

Jennie sets her phone down and turns around. “Is someone watching me?”

“Everything cool?” Kevin turns around and sees her walking away. “Aye! Jen! Ayo Jen! What’s the problem?” he grabs the cart to follow her.

“Someone is following me. Someone snapped photos of us and now there’s another article talking about me allegedly dating. Again.” Irritation was evident in her voice. “I cannot catch a break, huh? Why is all this coming at me, now? A guy and a girl can’t be friends?”

Kevin ends up laughing. “Wow…they just won’t quit huh?”

“Terrible timing, right now,” she responds, thinking about Jungkook. Stupid Allkpop for their article. Just why now? Stop believing the littlest things and making a big deal out of something so simple.

She decided to just ignore it and have the last laugh. This needed to end today. She was tired of the speculation. It was like she could never get peace by hanging out with Kevin without someone assuming they were dating. Any male for that matter.

“Okay, enough ignoring,” Jen mutters and grabs her phone to go on Twitter. All right, she did say she would ignore it but she wanted to call whoever followed her out.

She tweets, reblogging the Allkpop article, ‘EHHHH WRONG. Change the headline to BTS’ Jennie helps friend ask out a girl he likes. #ThinkBeforeYouWrite #SoompiWillAlwaysBeBetter #LetAChickBreathe’

After calming down, the two continued to shop. “She skateboards too, y’know.” Kevin brings up

“Ooh really? Why not ask her out at the skatepark where you two hang out?”

“That’s a good idea. Okay, let’s do that.”

“Let’s buy some chalk.” she goes to find the school supplies aisle. “I have just the plan.”

Arriving at the skatepark, Jennie planned out everything for him, asking him to help her draw cute messages in chalk on the ground. Kevin had added a few inside jokes that he and his crush share, too.

“Do you think that ‘Will You Skate With Me and Be My Skater Girlfriend’ is too cheesy? You said she loves cheesy quotes. Is that too much?”

“Nah, it’s perfect. And I’ll place the plushie and flowers right here on the bench.”

After setting things up, Jennie and Kevin were proud of their work. “All right, I best be going,” Jennie announces.

“You leaving, now?” he panics

She lets out a laugh. “Kevin, breathe. I’ll watch from afar and then I’ll leave. Gotta get ready for Angelina’s party. Just tell her everything you told me. Tell her exactly what you’re feeling and be 100% honest. She is going to say yes. I know it from what you told me about her.”

He nods, feeling more confident. “Thank you. Really Jen. You a real one for this.”

“Of course.” She pulls him in for a tight hug. “I’ll be watching~!” she walks away.

Keeping a safe distance, she had seen him meet up with the girl. She looked so happy to see him. It was pretty obvious she liked him a lot. After they had skated around, the girl soon noticed what was written in chalk and turned around in shock. Her face looked so happy as Jen’s heart fluttered. Gosh, this was getting her in her feelings as she thought about Jungkook.

Filming, Jennie squeals in the background as she watches how the girl jumped into Kevin’s arms. “I am crying~. Oh mah God, look at how cute they are? Goals~!”

She posts the adorable video on Twitter with the caption, ‘Kevin, you did amazing! I am so happy for you. I’m wishing you both many beautiful years of dating. You had nothing to worry about.’

After taking a selfie with his new girlfriend, Kevin posts the photo on Instagram with the caption, ‘She said yes! This is a dime I can’t pass. Thank you, Jennie, for helping me plan this. I owe you big time.’

Jen comments, ‘Anytime buddy! Glad I could help you confess to this special lady. I would like 3 bags of smarties please!’

Kevin comments back, ‘Lmfaoooo, I got you, girl.’

On her way to Angelina’s place, Jennie decided to post a selfie of herself looking done at those who always make pointless assumptions and writes the simple petty caption, ‘Salty…’ to throw shade at those who were quick to judge.

It also looked like Allkpop had deleted the article instantly after that and ARMY took over to roast them for their nonsense.

Finally arriving at Angelina’s place, the two friends get ready together for her party.

“So what type of party is this again?”

“I actually don’t really know, I just wanted to have a random party at this big venue because I was bored and missed hanging out with some familiar faces such as yourself. We’ve all been a little stressed so it will be nice to let loose and dance around a bit.

“Jennie! You’re back! Finally! I missed you!” Tyrone, Angelina’s little brother runs up to hug her.

“Hey! I missed you, too! You being good?”

“For you.” he grins, staring at her with heart eyes.

“Boy, if you don’t stop flirting with her. She’s taken!” Angelina kills his vibe.

“What!? You have a boyfriend? Who is he? Is he cuter than me?”

“I-I don’t have a boyfriend-“

“Not yet.” Angelina cuts her off with a smirk. “Now get out of my room.” she shoves him out and shuts the door, locking it despite his protests.

“You’re so mean.” Jen laughs

“He’ll live.” Angelina shrugs and goes into her closet. “Diana left your outfit in here somewhere…”

While Jen sits on Angelina’s bed, she looks at the missed text messages from Jimin and Tae. They had sent her multiple candid photos of Jungkook, making her heart flutter. Man he looked cute today.

Jimin: BEHOLD! Your future boyfriend! Kekekekeke [7:17 P.M]
Jen: For goodness sake… [7:33 P.M]
Taehyung sends a photo: ‘Don’t you think your future boyfriend is cute?’ [7:33 P.M]
Jen: Of course [7:34 P.M]

“Got it!” Angelina hands her the outfit. “Well, it’s a big skirt and this black lace bra. Diana said something about you always having an eye on this outfit but could never wear it in Korea because they’re more conservative over there, right?”

“Yeah! She really got me this? I gotta thank the stylists and her for bending their backs for this outfit. I always wanted to wear this. What are you wearing?” Jen asks. Once Angelina showed the dress, Jennie widens her eyes. “Girl! You about to get Namjoon to take a flight to LA to see you, ahahahah!”

“That would be so nice, hahaha.”

After showering, straightening her hair and putting it in a high ponytail, she connects Angelina’s phone to her speaker in the bathroom and presses shuffle while applying some light natural make up to complete the look in the mirror.

Angelina walks into the bathroom to join her and stares in awe. Jennie turns and stares at her in awe as well. The both of them were in stunned at how good they looked.

“What?” they say in unison. “Sorry, you’re just glowing!”

Once they realized they were talking as one, they end up laughing. “That lovebug bit you pretty hard. You can’t stop smiling.” Angelina adds.

“Me? What about you? You look so happy, I love seeing you like this. I like this vibe, let’s keep this.”

“For sure~!” she says and walks in her room while Beyonce’s 7/11 plays. Angelina was recording herself lip-syncing to the song on Jennie’s phone as she travels back to the bathroom, while Jennie was performing the choreography by the mirror, in her own world.

Man I swear I kick it with you
Girl I wanna kick it with you
Man I know I kick it with you
Yeah I spin' around and I kick it with you
Shoulders sideways, smack it, smack it in the air
Legs movin' side to side, smack it in the air

Angelina stood there stunned when she saw her best friend twerking. “OKAY!”

“Oh crap!” Jennie stops and laughs, covering her face. She runs out of the room, looking adorable while Angelina continues to laugh.

“Yooooo and I was filming the whole time! That was perfect timing! Ahahah!”

Posting it on BTS’ Twitter, Angelina tweets, ‘What are we going to do with her? #HackedByAngelina’

After they were ready, Jennie films Angelina to hype her up. “Okay, girl! Strut! Look at good she looks tonight guys!”

“Stop…” Angelina covers her face, letting out a giggle.

“You did it to me, I’m gonna do it to you. That outfit though! Legs for days! Who is you?!” she hypes her up. Angelina gives in and struts around, posing while Jennie continued to give her praises.

The two even decided to take some photos before going to the party. The one photo of Jennie posing happily in her outfit had caused all the members to comment about it.

‘PLEASE be wary of guys trying to make a move on you, sweetie. :) :) :) #JinIsSTRESSED'

That caused Jennie to laugh. Poor Jin. He was probably freaking the hell out in Seoul right now. But he just really cared and wanted to make sure no one would try any funny business.

‘I second the motion! !!! Whaaaa please be careful, you may make guys faint from your beauty #Jimin’

‘I third the motion! What a stunner #Rapmon’

‘Fourth the motion! Ahhhhh munchkin you look so adorable!! #JHope’

‘Fifth the motion! Sooo cute Ennie! #V’

‘Sixth the motion! You look nice, kid. #Suga’

‘Seventh the motion! Just wow… #Jungshooked’

Jen tweets back, ‘LOL, I won’t! Besides, I am already locked down <3 Love you ARMY!’ she replies. But lowkey the tweet was meant for Jungkook to subtlety let him know that she was already his. She hoped he read through the hints.

During the car ride to the party with Diana and Angelina, Jennie made a quick Twitter video to vent about her struggles of finding smarties.

“There were NO smarties at the store! None! How!? Who took the last bag of smarties!? I wanna find the person who keeps taking my smarties!”

“Wasn’t it you who kept going to the same store getting bags of smarties and eating them?” Diana brings up.

“Oh wait…” Jen realizes it was her the entire time and the car erupted into booming laughter. Salty, Jennie looks down in embarrassment.

“I am judging very hard right now,” Angelina says in the background.

“Anyway, how y’all doing today?” Jen grins sheepishly, fixing her hair before ending the video.

After posting the funny video, she sees a text from Jimin,
Jimin: Jungkook keeps whining about how beautiful you look in that outfit. I recorded his rambling ahahah. [8:45 p.m]

Putting on an earbud, she plays the voice recording and had a smile on her face.

“…utiful she is? Just wow…it’s like every day she gets cuter and cuter.” she hears Jungkook ramble.

‘I wonder what else you say about me when I’m not around.’ Jen thought with a smile.

“She is so in her feelings. She can’t even stop smiling.” Diana calls her out, snapping Jen out of her thoughts.

“Huh? What?” Jen takes her earbud out.

“I said, what exactly are you going to do when you see Jungkook?”

“Uh…say how I feel?”

“You’re going to freeze,” Angelina predicts.

“I am not going to freeze. Why would I freeze? I’m going to be cool and calm.”

Diana snorts while Angelina adds, “Oh, trust me, as soon as you get back, you’ll go to Jungkook with open arms.”

“Okay, yeah.” Jen shrugs.

“Open heart…” she goes on

“Yep.”

“Open mouth…”

“Ye-hey!”

“Open legs…” she teases.

Jen covers her ears, “Ugh, my virgin ears.”

The next night, Jungkook was in the dorm, upset at the 95 Liners because they had brought up Jen’s dating rumors with Kevin in a teasing manner. He had gotten a little jealous and even though the rumors were false, he couldn’t help but feel bothered that his hyungs kept trying to tease him about it.

Periodically, the Golden Maknae would roll his eyes at their words. The 95 Liners were planning on going out to eat with Jungkook but thought of a plan to make him stay home so he could be alone in the dorm when Jennie arrives back. Jungkook didn’t know when she was coming home so it would be nice for the 97 Liners to have some alone time to talk things out. And maybe do some other things if they get carried away.

After a few teasing words, Jungkook had angrily shoved them out of his room and slammed the door, letting them know that he didn’t want to go out anymore.

“I think it worked.” Jimin high fives Tae and goes to call Namjoon while heading out to go eat with Hobi and Jin.

With Jennie, back in Seoul, she went straight to Big Hit’s building to meet with Yoongi. When she goes into his studio, she hands him the headphones that he had wanted from LA.

“Niiiice. Thanks, Smartie. I appreciate it.”

“Anytime! They were pretty easy to find. Surprised they didn’t have them here in Seoul.”

“So, how are you doing?” he relaxes in his chair as she takes a seat next to Namjoon who was also in the room.

“I’m great,” she replies with a smile.

“And how are you truly doing?” Namjoon asks, seeing right through her.

“The kid is on your mind, isn’t he?” Yoongi takes her silence as a yes.

“And you love him, too,” Namjoon confirms. “Nervous to see him?”

“Very,” she replies.

“The kid…I never saw him act like this with a girl. Not even IU. You clearly did something to him. And I’ve been watching you. Even before he confessed, your demeanor showed that you love him, too.” Yoongi observes. “Look, I know you’re a bit on edge with this whole thing. But go with your heart, smartie. Not with your mind. Your mind is giving you all these doubts and fears but you need to listen to what your heart is telling you. And besides, you two are like puzzle pieces. Can’t fit anywhere else but together.”

“His confession made you acknowledge your feelings for him,” Namjoon adds. “He woke something inside you that you’ve been trying to keep away all this time because of the fear of ruining the friendship. That this would change things for the worse. But he took that risk, and finally told you how he felt.”

“Smartie, go to him.”

“Does he even want to see me?” Jen murmurs.

Yoongi lets out a snort. “You gotta be fuckin’ kidding. Did you know that he went to talk to Bam Bam about his feelings for you because he knew that Bam Bam liked you, too?”

Jen soon thought about the conversation she had with Bam Bam. Now she understood everything.

---

“I really like you. I have for so long. You are just…really amazing and I know my dating ban isn’t up yet but when it is, I was wondering if we can go out on a date sometime.”

That surprised her. Before she could speak, he goes on,

“That was what I wanted to say before I found out that there is someone that has way stronger feelings than me. Someone that makes you so happy, that I can’t help but support you two. And when I look at you and him, all I can say is, Ah…the Golden Maknae always wins.” he playfully whines and lets out a chuckle. “But he deserves you and I hope he treats you well. And if you ever get over him, I’m always here.” he grins as she laughs.

“Thank you, Bam Bam. But I don’t want our friendship to end over this. Or make things awkward between you and Jungkook. I don’t want to be that girl that ruins a friendship like that.”

Bam Bam shakes his head. “No, no, never. I prepared for this. Ever since the GAYO shows. After watching you and Jungkook, I knew it was going to be him. I prepared for this. Ahhh…this is like Taeyeon all over again when I liked her but then Baekhyun took her away. One day I will find love. But Jennie, you are one of the sweetest and enjoyable people I know. Our friendship will never end over something like this. You will still have a special place in my heart and I will be supportive of you guys.”

---

“He must have said something that made Bam Bam realize that Jungkook’s feelings were stronger.” Yoongi goes on. “So, I know for a fact that kid isn’t going to give you away that easily just because of some false dating rumors with your friend. Let’s face reality. The Golden Maknae has you locked down. And you have him locked down. Go to him. Simple as that Smartie.”

“Where is he?” Jen asks.

“Dorm.” Namjoon answers.

“He’ll be happy to see you. And he’ll probably be bouncing up the damn walls once you tell him that you love him, too.” Yoongi smirks and gestures her to leave. “I trust you kids will become a couple before this night is over.”

Feeling motivated, Jennie thanks Namjoon and Yoongi for their words and heads to the door.
“And smartie?”

“Yes?”

“Nothing is going to change when you two date. Well, probably you two having to deal with more of Jin and his protectiveness and we’ll have to deal with your romance 24/7 but other than that, things will remain the same.”

“Agreed. You two make each other happy. And we’ll all be happy to know that our two maknaes are happy with each other.” Namjoon smiles.

“Now get out of here and get your bunny so I won’t have to hear him whine about how much he wishes to be your boyfriend. I’m this close to killing the kid.” his words make Jen chuckle and she leaves the building.

Her phone buzzes and she gets a text from Taehyung,
Taehyung: Fair warning…Jungkook is very angry with us.

Giving Tae a call while on her way to the dorm, she asks, “Um, whatchu mean you pissed him off? Oh God…what did y’all do?”

“We didn’t do anything!” he giggles

“Sure…”

“Is that Ennie! Hi Ennie! Are you on your way to the dorm!?” Jimin asks in the background.

“Yeah, I am.”

“Okay, Jungkook is a little angry because we may have…teased him about your dating rumors and assumed you’re dating Kevin-“

“I cannot believe y’all!” she exclaims as they giggle. “What this your plan?”

“At least you two will be alone~!”

---

Sounds of angry grumbling were heard in Jungkook’s room as he violently mashed the buttons on his controller while playing his video game. Jimin and Taehyung had successfully pissed him off tonight and made him not want to join them and the others for a bite to eat.

So here he was, by himself in the dorm.

His Hyungs played too much. He wanted to kill them for teasing him about Jen’s dating rumors. He knew they were only joking but his jealousy crept on him as he imagined her with another man. But at the end of the day, he trusted her.

Detecting whimpering, he looks down at the floor to see Tony rubbing against him. The dog could sense Jungkook’s annoyance and began to feel sad, trying its best to cheer him up. It did ease his irritation as the Golden Maknae relaxed a bit.

“I’m fine, Tony. Just thinking about Jennie.” he lets out a sigh and pets him. Tony snuggles against him as another whimper was heard. He picks him up and lets him rest on his lap, resuming to pet him. “Do you think she loves me, too?”

Tony had barked cutely in response, causing him to smile. “Ah…I don’t know what I would do if she says yes to me…being in love with her for so long and finally telling her my feelings and then her returning them? I don’t know how I would react…seems like only a dream huh? And you miss her too, huh? Jennie will be back soon, okay?”

Pausing his game, Jungkook sets Tony down and goes to the kitchen to make sure he had food and water in his dishes. Afterward, Jungkook had decided to take a quick shower and put on a pair of pajama pants. Neglecting a shirt, for now, he dries his damp hair with a towel and places it over his shoulders. His irritation seemed to have simmered down throughout the rest of the night as he played video games in his room to make himself feel better.

Meanwhile, Jennie had finally made it back to the dorm, placing her bags in her room. All that confidence she had to go in and tell Jungkook how she felt went out the window as her butterflies got worse.

‘Breathe girl…’ she glances at herself in her bathroom mirror. ‘Why are you so damn nervous? Relax!’

This was going to be a bit more challenging than she thought. She wondered if this was how Jungkook felt when he made the first move.

Soon after, she thought about her previous conversations with friends asking what she was going to do and say to Jungkook when she sees him.

Truth be told, she had a plan but the closer she was to his door, the more the plan fell apart. She couldn’t think of any coherent thoughts because her nervousness got to her once again.

Although jetlagged, she wanted to say how she felt tonight. But her first goal was to be able to knock on his door. She has been standing in front of his door for a few minutes now. Hesitating, she paces back and forth.

‘Okay…walk in, tell him, hey, I love you, too.’ she thought. ‘No, no. Don’t do that. That doesn’t really sound realistic. It’s too sudden. I’m not going to be able to walk in and be that abrupt. Don’t be so cliché with this, either. Ugh…why is this so hard? I dunno what I’m doing.’ she rambles in her head. Looking back at his door, she screams in her head, ‘Ahhhhh, would you knock on his damn door? Stop stalling!’

Blowing her cheeks, she whispers to herself, “Don’t be a coward. Just go for it.”

Pulling herself together, she knocks eight times in rhythm.

No answer…

‘Was he here?’ she thought.

She knocks three times, trying again…no answer. But she heard a video game playing in the room. So, she knocked once more.

Jungkook had ignored the knocks as his irritation built up, once again. He thought his hyungs left but it looked like they wanted to bother him some more. However, maybe if he ignored them, they would go away. So, he proceeded to game.

Once he heard another series of knocks, he finally grumbles, “Go away, hyung…”

‘Boy, I am not your hyung. I am your future girlfriend. Open this door.’ Jen thought as she knocked again. She wanted to say it out loud, but she couldn’t find her voice as her heart raced when she heard him speak.

“I said go away!”

This time he sounded even more bothered.

‘They must’ve really pissed him off tonight.’ she thought. She underestimated the guys telling her that he was angry at them. But she was going to keep knocking until he answered. He’ll crack eventually.

“Hyung, leave me alone, already! I am not in the mood!” he adds.

Jen’s nervousness peaked, and she chose to cease her knocking, getting second thoughts. Maybe she should wait until he calms down.

She turns around, about to head back into her room but stops.

Nah.

He was going to open that door, see her and realize she isn’t Jimin or Tae trying to bother him. She has been waiting to see him again and she was going to see this man tonight.

Knocking once again, she hears a loud noise and heavy footsteps to the door.

‘Oh God, he’s coming.’ she takes a step back in alarm.

Fed up, Jungkook had quickly slammed his controller down and yanked his towel off his bare shoulders. Somebody was about to die tonight when he sees who is at his door.

“Damn it, I sai-”

Feeling a huge breeze as the door swings open, Jennie looks up from her feet to meet the annoyed gaze of Jungkook. When she took in the sight of him, she takes in a sharp intake of air, as his brown irises met her hazel ones.

Once Jungkook realized that he was staring at the girl he loves, his eyes soften, and his body relaxed spontaneously.

“Jennie.” he murmurs softly in surprise.

It was official, he was still smitten and she managed to calm him down by just looking at him.
Like her friends predicted, Jen froze and forgot everything she was going to say. Her pep talks did not prepare her for this. Especially because of how he said her name and how he was staring at her like he was about to kiss her again.

Deep down, she lowkey wanted him to. But she knew he wasn’t going to go that far like when he confessed. He wanted confirmation of how she felt. And tonight, she was going to confirm her feelings.

At least try to because her mind was getting out of control when she realized she was finally looking at him for the first time since that day.

‘Abort mission! Weewoo, weewoo, weewoo, weewoo! Abort mission!’ Jen panics mentally as she averts her eyes.

Was she going to be able to do this and get over these butterflies?

Snapping back to reality, she clears her throat, stammering, “H-hey. I just got back and was wondering if you had time to talk.”

‘Really Jen? Ugh.’ she scolds herself. She wanted to hit herself for saying that. Maybe she should have said something different instead of that statement. But Jungkook nods and lets her in.

Tony had eagerly run up to her as she lets out a giggle, kneeling to pet him. “Tony! I missed you! You really missed me, huh? I knew you’d be in here. I brought you a new toy, see?” she presents him with a new ball as he gets hyper.

The sight made Jungkook smile and after Tony showed his love and affection to her, she tossed the ball and Tony ran out of the room, engaged with it.

“You can shut the door, completely. He’s in his own little world with that ball,” she announces.

“You sure?” Jungkook asks a little too eagerly.

The sound of his low voice had made her shiver. She then noticed that it was almost like he was asking because he anticipated that something was going to happen between them.

“Yeah.” she nods. “I want to be alone with you. No distractions or interruptions.”

Once he shut the door, it was official, she was alone with Jungkook in his room. The rest of the members were nowhere near the dorm, it was just them. As much as she was nervous and hoping this would go well, the questions going through her mind were, what exactly she was going to say and do to him at this moment.

Would she hug him? Kiss him?

Jen observes her surrounds in his room. Stuff that she hadn’t noticed before until now. Like how he still had that sketchbook she gave him when she celebrated his birthday for the first time. It was filled with a few sketches of him and her together. And how he had a picture of him and her on his nightstand. It was all making so much sense to her, she wanted to slap herself for being this clueless and making this man wait for her for so long. How she took this long to accept what she was feeling.

The room felt warm from the heat blasting in his room. Huge difference from the uncomfortable coldness outside in the snow.

Pushing her hair back with her hand, she utters, “I’m sorry for showing up here unannounced and out of the blue. I can see you’re a little irritated with the guys.”

“Ah, it’s okay. I’m fine, now, really. Seeing you back in Seoul safely cheered me up, real quick.” he smiles and takes a seat on the edge of his bed. “Is everything okay?”

“Not yet, but it will be,” she responds and continues to stand. “I wanted to speak with you.”

“Are you all right?” his voice changes into concern.

Jennie began to pace around as the nerves got to her while she tried to gather what she wanted to say. “Why am I so nervous? I had this all in my head, perfectly. Now, I understand how you felt.” she stops pacing around and turns to him. “But when you said what you said that day, it was from the heart. So, I should do the same. That day you confessed to me, it got me thinking. A lot. A lot of feelings built up. Hidden feelings came up from the surface.”

That statement made Jungkook’s heart pound as he continued to listen, giving her his undivided attention. Hidden feelings? Did she…feel the same?

“I have been thinking about you a lot. More than usual as of late since that day. Since I’ve been away, I thought about some things I love about you.” she goes on. “How you sleep with your mouth open, it’s the cutest thing ever. How you’re like a personal heater for me when I’m in your arms. How sweet you are to everyone. How you are so passionate about your work ethic when it comes to Bangtan. How good you look in white shirts and Timbs…well, good isn’t exactly the best word I would use but…you know.” she felt her face warm up as he smirked softly, feeling good about himself.

Jungkook made a mental note to wear even more white shirts with his favorite brand of shoes if she enjoyed seeing him in them so much. He didn’t know he had that effect on her. He pondered what else she liked about him as he looks at her expectantly.

“I’ve been watching you, too.” she points out. “You tilt your head out of habit when you’re challenged. You even did it before you confessed to me. When you get jealous, you do that thing with your tongue. That thing where you poke the inside of your cheek. I always peeped that. And you often do it when it involves me and other guys that get a little too close in your eyes.”

Jungkook stares at her in astonishment. He didn’t realize he had made it that obvious. But hearing all she had to say gave him hope that she would return his feelings. So, he kept listening, eager to know where she was going with this monologue.

She carries on, “This right here is probably not going to be perfect. It’ll probably be a mess due to my mind being all over the place. And it is all because of you. So, thank you, for making me feel how I feel. Because now I can’t shake this feeling away. But deep down, I realized that I don’t want to. I don’t want to shake this away. Not when it comes to you.”

Jennie walks around, rambling, “2013. Miss Bangtan in BTS. Y’know I was just that foreign girl in K-Pop, starting out, finding my way in this industry. I met seven awesome guys. And one guy was a little more on the shy side and I wanted to speak to him, more. So, I did, bringing up Iron Man and the rest was history. Fast forward, I noticed that he was opening up more to me, which I was grateful for. And then he called me his golden best friend and had given me matching friendship rings, promising to cherish each other. Then on, I ate lamb skewers for the first time with him and he…told me my skin was beautiful and made me feel special while I helped him with his English. I…” she trails off, shaking her head.

This was harder than she thought. She just kept rambling and couldn’t find the right words to say to him or how to bring the topic up.

She stands in front of him, letting out a deep sigh as she tries to pull herself together. “Oh my gosh…why can’t I think of the right words? I keep losing my trade of thought, I dunno how to bring it up…”

Looking up at her with warm eyes, Jungkook grabs one of her cold hands and gives it a gentle squeeze with his warm hand.

“Take your time,” he speaks softly. “Be honest and say what’s on your mind. Don’t hold back. Even if you ramble, I’ll listen. So, just take your time.”

“Okay. I will.” she responds and blurts out what was on her mind, “Jungkook, you were right about everything. For instance, I did get jealous when those girls talked to you at the costume shop. I guess…I don’t like when females get too close for comfort with my man, flirting with you as if I’m not there.”

Her man?

Jungshooked, his lips part in shock as he replayed her sentence in his head again. Feeling a sense of euphoria, he releases her hand and began to stand up. Before he could stand all the way up, she places a hand on his shoulder and makes him sit back down.

Jen had contemplated if she should go with what she was thinking of doing because he was already seated, and she didn’t want him to move. Something that even Jimin and Tae kept jokingly bothering her about.

So, should she straddle him?

She wanted him to just sit and listen to everything that was on her mind just like she had listened to him about how he felt. And at this point, like he did with her when he told her how he felt with his actions, she wanted to do the same along with her words to express how she felt about him.

With that question in the back of her mind, she goes on to express herself,

“Jungkook, what you said to me and what we did in that room is something that I don’t regret. Just like what you asked me in that room, I cannot…think of a good reason as to why this shouldn’t happen. I want this.” she admits. “I want this to happen. I want what we have to go far.”

Jennie felt like this was right as she continued to speak to him, admitting everything she was feeling while she held his loving gaze.

“Ever since that day, I couldn’t stand you. I really could not stand you, Jungkook. Why? Because you have been on my mind ever since that day. And I can’t stop thinking about you. I can’t stop thinking about the kissing. I can’t stop thinking about me…in your arms. Together with you.”

‘I can’t stop thinking about you, either.’ Jungkook thought as her words captivated him, making his heart pound.

“I have tried my best to get you out of my mind. I have tried my best to avoid you. The music I listen to, it makes me think of you. The places I go have some type of reminder of a precious moment we shared over the years. Those closest to me can’t even help me because they are constantly talking to me about you. And no matter what I do, no distraction I tried can keep me away from those happy thoughts I have of you. Of us. How happy you make me.”

“I have felt so many different emotions when thinking about this. I even felt a little scared to be in this scenario with my best friend just like you said that day.” she acknowledges. “I always thought about the what ifs…if this feeling is wrong. If this should not happen because of how long we’ve been friends. Because of the position we are in as a group. But I need to stop doubting and just go with my heart. Not the doubts in my head. I can’t be scared to give someone as precious as you, my heart. The fact of the matter is…I was already yours before you confessed to me. It just took me a while to realize. I’m yours and I want you to be mine.”

She begins to run her fingers through his damp hair as his eyes went round. “You were right about everything. This is not one-sided. I want you more than you can ever imagine. More than you think and more than I thought I did.”

She wanted him…more than he imagined?

Jungkook felt his throat tightened as he tried to keep himself composed. His emotions were running high listening to the woman that he loves talking about how much she couldn’t stop thinking about him like he couldn’t stop thinking about her. And the fact that she wants him too made his eyes sparkle with elation.

“Your admiration for IU is the cutest and I hope one day you’ll gain that courage to meet her and possibly collab. Your smile makes my stomach flip and I can’t help but smile back. Your voice is like honey, I can never get enough of listening to you. When you sing, when you speak, I love listening to you. And when you told me that I was yours in my ear, I could not get it out of my head. You just do things that make me go crazy. And your laugh has got to be the best thing I have ever heard. Like it is just too infectious, I love it.”

“Before I came here I had a talk with Yoongi and Namjoon. Yoongi told me that we’re like two puzzle pieces. Can’t fit anywhere else but together. And I believe him. I realized that I waited for you and you were right in front of me the entire time. It just took me a while. Me and my stubborn behind.” she let out a chuckle and shakes her head.

Jennie takes a good look at him, smiling. “You…make me feel things that I have never felt before. When I’m with you, you make me feel warm and giddy inside. I’m not worried at all when it comes to you. I can be myself around you and since day one you accepted me for me. Thinking of you since I’ve been gone made me think of a lot of things I want to do with you. I want to eat pocky and play video games with you. Kicking your fine ass in whatever game you want to play is going to be something that I’ll never get enough of.” she giggles when Jungkook playfully narrows his eyes.

“Oh really?” he raises a brow as a competitive smirk came across his lips.

After giggling, she goes on, “I want to even dress up as Iron Man for you one day just like you dressed up as Captain America for me. I also want to go bowling with you. I want us to dance together, go on dates, drive the members crazy with our pranks. I want to sing you to sleep, give you all the massages you want. I want to take care of you and cherish you just as much as you cherish me. I want to hug you as much as I want, I want you to be my first, I just…want to do a lot of things that I haven’t experienced yet with you. Only if you let me.”

She caresses his face and runs her thumb against his bottom lip. “And I don’t want no pocky stick or mistletoe in order to kiss you. I want to kiss you on my own free will. All of that and more that I want to do but not as your friend…” she trails off and takes this moment to slowly move to straddle him.

Jungkook was caught off-guard by her sudden actions as he places his hands on her hips. Seated on him, she rests her arms on his shoulders as they gaze at each other, anticipating what was going to happen next.

“I have a lot of promises. I’m new to this. Please bear with me.” she addresses. “In reality, we are going to argue. Now, I know I can be a little petty-“

“A little?” he raises a brow with a smirk

“Excuse me?” she remarks.

A mischievous glint appeared in his eyes as he lets out a throaty chuckle. “I had to.”

After their chuckling, they go back to being serious, “Okay, really petty at times. We are going to be angry at each other and irritate each other once in a while. That’s normal and that should happen because couples argue. But no matter how bad our arguments may be like you said, we will work through them together.” she asserts. “I won’t give up on us, no matter how difficult something may be. We will make this work. I promise to be patient with you and hold you down. I’ll be there to pick you up and I will be there to help you through anything. Nervous before a performance? I will be there to keep you at ease. You want me to listen to one of your covers before you share it with ARMY? I’m a call away.”

She gently kisses his cheek, then his nose and then his other cheek. The urge to kiss him rose tenfold and Jungkook was feeling the same way from her words and how close she was to him.

“I promise to always keep an open mind with you and make sure to do things that you would like to do. I promise to always be honest and listen to you. I promise to make us a priority, fight for you and remain 100% committed to you. I promise to be there for you on your worst days, not just your best days. I promise that we will take adorable photos and videos together, and I will be secretly filming you sleeping and try to prank you in the process.” she teases with a proud smile.

Jungkook shares a soft laugh with her before resuming to listen to her loving words.

“There will be times where I will fail you. I will fall short,” she admits. “But I won’t tap out, okay? And I promise to be very protective of you just like you protect me. I promise that I will still be there if you don’t have your abs, get tattoos or if you want to change your hair or whatever. I’m not going to leave you for something so silly like that. What we have is real. And also, I highkey want us to be the cutest marvel loving couple ever. So, let’s make sure to do that, okay? Let’s like, dress up as our favorite Marvel characters when going out somewhere or something,” she grins sheepishly

Jungkook lets out another laugh. He found her adorable. God, he loved her so much.

“Unbeknownst to you, this weird yet warm feeling I got with you in that room when you told me you loved me wasn’t the only time I felt this way. I believe I felt this way for a long time. Even before you confessed to me.”

Jennie nods to herself, caressing his face. “I accept it now. I accept this feeling I get when I’m with you. No one else gives me this feeling but you. No one else makes me feel wanted like you. Saranghae, Jungkook.” she says with no hesitation.

Jungkook stares at her while his throat tightened again as he tried to hold back the tears.
She…loves him too?

When she didn’t hear him respond, Jennie began to feel worried. Did she say something wrong? Did he not feel the same anymore? Jen’s mind began to feel all sorts of emotions as her mind panicked.

“Please…” she murmurs softly. “Say something.”

Jungkook looks down, trying to keep himself composed as his body had softly shaken.
“Say it again.” he looks back up with tears in his eyes.

Seeing his eyes water made her eyes begin to water as well while her heart fluttered. “Saranghae, Jungkook.”

“One more time.”

“Saranghae.”

The feelings began to be too much as the tears of joy streamed down his face, taking her by surprise as she wipes his tears.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you upset,” she exclaims.

He shakes his head and lets out a soft chuckle. “I’m happy.” he wraps his strong arms around her while she buries her face in his neck with her arms around his neck for a hug.

“Good, that’s what I wanted to hear.” she pulls away as Jungkook’s smile grew wide. “I remember telling you that whoever your future girlfriend will be, she’ll be very lucky to have a guy like you. And you would always reply that you were the lucky one. But no, I believe that I am the lucky one because I get to be with someone as special as you. You chose me out of everyone. I get to kiss you as much as I want, hug you as much as I want. Gosh, I’m sorry for making you wait so long.”

“Don’t be. You were worth the wait.”

After he said that, Jennie presses her body against him and collides her soft, cold lips with his, overwhelming him with emotions. He grips her hips tightly when he felt her cold hands on his muscled chest, making him shiver slightly. The kiss started off slow and sensual as she took her time, to show him how important he is to her. Their noses had pressed together periodically while his warm lips moved in rhythm with hers.

Running her hands down his chest, she hears him let out a soft groan, making her heart race. Deepening the kiss, their kissing became more urgent and demanding as she ran her fingers through his hair.

Her lips soon moved to his neck as his breathing quickened. She was really starting to enjoy straddling him. Since he did all that he did to her, kissing the hell out of her during his confession, she wanted to do the same and then some.

“Jennie.” he manages to breathe out as he found the confidence to let his hands wander, landing right where he wanted to touch for a long time now. He always touched his hyungs butts but never hers, so once he got the chance to do so, he was very touchy and grabby, not like she was complaining.

Being able to kiss this man as much as she wants was going to be great. Since it was getting too hot, she unzips her jacket while their intense lip locking continued. Each kiss was better than the last as Jungkook let out a soft grunt whenever she had unintentionally moved while straddling him. Her loving kisses were making his heart pound and she was so gentle with him as he melted to her touch.

Jungkook soon found his back meeting the bed when her cool hand gently pushes him back. Once they slowly break the kiss to catch their breath, Jungkook looks up at her, watching her take off her jacket since it the heat of the room was getting too much for her, leaving her in her shirt. His chest was heaving up and down as he watched her and looked down at where she was sitting.

“Sorry, I got a little carried away.” she realized the position they were in, placing a hand on his chest.

Lord have mercy, this position was tempting though. But she had assumed he was a little too shy and nervous for anything else so she was about to get off of him but he grabs her hips to stop her.

“I don’t want us to stop. Not yet,” he speaks up.

He has been waiting for this moment for so long, he wanted to stay like this and keep kissing her. So, he sits up, turning them both around so her back was on the bed. Maybe following his hyung’s advice was a good thing this time. Jimin and Taehyung had kept trying to tell him to let her think that she had him under control and when she least expects it, flip the switch and go for the neck.

So, let’s experiment and see if it would work in his favor like they said.

Pressing his body against hers, he slowly leans down to give her a series of tender kisses, making her breathless. Jennie had tried to turn them over but with no avail as she grabs a hold of him and wrapping her arms around his neck.

Suddenly, she tries to push him away as soon as she felt his breath on her neck. She then begins squirming, but he was too strong, keeping her in place.

Looks like this was about to work in his favor. He’ll definitely be using that in the future.

“I found your weakness, huh?” he teases.

She tried to speak but couldn’t as her heart began to race when she felt his warm lips on her sensitive neck. She couldn’t turn them around so she could be back on top. She was gonna have to take this passion and hope that none of the members would walk in. Her breathing gets deeper and her cheeks flush as she tried to fight any sounds with their legs getting tangled with each other.

One of his strong hands grabbed a hold of her wrists to gently pin it by her head. His hand then slowly moved up to intertwine his fingers with hers. He then gave her slow, sweet kisses up her neck, to her cheek before saying in her ear, “Seconds ago you were all over me. Now you’re trying to escape from under me and push me away because I found out your weakness? I hope I can find more as our relationship progresses. In the meantime, relax Jennie. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a while.” he says as he felt her grab onto his back.

After some more kisses, he moves back to look down at her with a smile as she returns his smile. He then started to give her playful kisses all over her face, making her giggle, trying to push him away.

"Let's make this official," he announces and gets off of her.

"Official?" she sits up and watches him go into his closet, taking out a Timberland box. She scoots up to remain seated on the edge of the bed, waiting for what he was going to do.

Jungkook kneels in front of her and takes off her sneakers while Jen lets out a laugh, “What are you doing?”

Taking out a pair of Timberland Women’s Glancy shoes, he looks up with a bunny smile. “I brought these for you the day after we ate Lamb Skewers for the first time.”

“Kook…”

“Will you do me the honor of wearing Timbs with me as my Golden Girlfriend?”

She happily nods, letting out another giggle. “Yes. Absolutely. I would love to, Jungkook.”
When she puts them on, it was a perfect fit as she stands up and walks around, loving the shoes. “How’d you know my size?”

“Talk to the stylist Noonas.” he grins sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. “You look great in them. Wow, perfect fit. Now we can wear Timbs together.”

“And Nike.”

“And…Nike.”

“Hey, watch that tone of your voice. Say it with more enthusiasm.”

“And Nike! Yeah!” he sarcastically says.

She snickers and checks out the shoes. “This is kind of funny. I brought a pair of Nikes for you.”

“A-are you serious?”

“Yeah, I’ll go get them.” she takes off the Timbs and puts them back in the box. Leaving the room, she goes to her room to grab the Nike box. Coming back to his room, she pushes his door only to be open a crack.

As they both sit back on the bed, she opens the box to reveal red and white Nikes. “Ta-da!” she cutely announces. “Now we can also wear Nikes together, too!”

“Just for you.” he playfully glares at her and tries them on.

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

He smirks softly and checks them out. “Of course. These look awesome.”

“I’m glad you like them.” she lets out a tired yawn as the jetlag got to her.

“Let’s go to sleep. Sleep on me, I know you’re jetlagged.” he takes off the shoes and prepares his bed. Laying on his back, under the covers, she crawls on top of him, sighing against his warm, comfy chest.

Putting the blanket over them, he wraps an arm around her, watching her doze off immediately as he smiles and kisses the top of her head. Tony walks in, opening the crack of the door slightly and jumps on the bed, snuggling next to his parents.

Jungkook glances at Tony and then Jennie. There was no place he would rather be. He was happy. Drowning in his happy thoughts, he dozes off, too.

A few hours later, Jimin knocks on Jungkook’s door. “Jungkookie? You still mad?” he opens the door, walking in. Seeing JenKook asleep together made Jimin cover his mouth to avoid screaming in glee. Running out of the room, he drags Taehyung to show him as they both start silently jumping around, freaking out.

Rushing over to the bed, they take a few selfies with the peace sign while JenKook were oblivious, in their own world of sleep.

“I can’t believe it! Look at this!” Jimin whispers excitedly.

“I know!” Taehyung adds. “We did it! Finally, they’re together!”

“What is all this ruckus…?” Yoongi grumbles, walking in the room to see what the commotion was. “What the-are you-are you cryin’? The hell is wrong with you?” he asks the 95 Liners who were wiping their tears of joy.

“Look!” Taehyung points to JenKook.

Yoongi smirks at the sight. “About fucking time.”

Notes

And I also made Jennie’s Playlist like BTS have their own :)
