A/N- Happy New Year! It’s been a while. I missed you and I’ve missed this. I’ll make an effort to update more often. The BTS NOW 3 chapter will be added to the next time I update. So, enjoy this long chapter in the meantime. Ah, I had this vision for Fire but I feel like I could’ve improved more on it. I’ll see what I can do for the performances.
Anywho, hope it was worth the wait.

After being let in, Jennie walks around SM’s building to find Baekhyun. She was so excited to see him and couldn’t wait to meet the other members. The fact that he invited her was so sweet of him and she hoped to have a great time hanging out with the guys.

“There you are! Hey, she’s here!” a cheerful voice was heard as she looks to see Baekhyun smiling and waving at her.

“Baekhyun!” she beams, giving him a hug. Even after meeting, she still gets butterflies in her stomach whenever she sees this man as she tries to keep her composure.

“I see you’re still crushing over him.” Chanyeol teases, walking up to them.

“No idea what you’re talking about.” she laughs nervously and releases Baekhyun.

Baekhyun chuckles. “Ah, leave my Jennie alone. I think it’s cute. Come on, let’s introduce you to the guys. We were working in the studio.”

“Working on your new album?”

“Yes, what about you and Bangtan?”

“Same thing. I was informed by my dance instructor that he wants me to do some type of water dance for our next comeback soon. Maybe for like a special occasion like the MAMA Awards.”

“Oh really? That would be cool to see. Kai and Sehun can help you with that, once you start learning.” Chanyeol adds.

“I would love that. Need all the help I can get.”

“Guys, Jennie is here!” Baekhyun announces, walking in to see the members chilling amongst themselves.

“Jennie! Finally, we get to meet you. Chanyeol and Baekhyun could not stop chewing our ears off about it.” Suho greets.

“Oh really? You guys talk about me a lot?” she smiles at the two guys.

“Mainly Baekhyun.” Chanyeol throws him under the bus while he gets playfully hit by him in response. “He talks about how he wants to sing with you one day. He keeps asking the company if there is a way for EXO to collab with you.”

“Really? Wow, has there been any word yet?”

“SM said they will keep it in mind for something near the end of the year. So, that looks like a good sign.” Baekhyun adds.

“Awesome. Keep me posted.” she turns to the members and smiles warmly. “Hey! It’s nice to finally see you guys in person. I’m Jennie. Okay, I got this, let me point you guys out. You are Xiumin.” She turns to him

He smiles and nods. “Nice to meet you!”

“Kyungsoo.”

Kyungsoo nods and flashes a cute grin. “Correct.”

“Chen. I swear every time I hear your vocals, I get goosebumps. I still can’t over your vocals from last year’s MAMA Awards.”

Chen grins, “Thanks, Jennie. “

“Sehun. Maknae to maknae, it is very nice to meet you.”

“It’s nice to meet you, too.” Sehun nods.

“Kai.” she turns to him and points him out as he nods.

“Correct! Hello Jennie.” He grins.

“And you’re Suho. The great leader of EXO. Thank you for your hard work in leading this group. Your efforts are always appreciated.”

“Thank you, Jennie. I try my best,” he speaks some English to her and smiles softly. She then praises his pronunciation.

“Where’s the last member?” she looks around, thinking of Lay.

“I think he went to use the bathroom. He should back soon.” Chen responds.

“Oh, Jennie informed Baekhyun and I that she will be performing some type of water dance for a special occasion around the time of BTS’ next comeback. You guys mind showing her some pointers and helping her once she starts learning the dance?” Chanyeol turns to Sehun and Kai.

“Of course. We’ll be glad to help.” Sehun answers.

“Yeah, no problem. You want to head to the dance studio now?” Kai suggests. “We can show you some of our choreography we’ve done with water.”

Jen accepts their offer and heads to the dance studio, sitting on the floor while watching them. She listened closely and made notes on her phone as they gave her advice on their techniques. They make it look so effortless with how fluid their moves are. It was like they told a story with their dance. Although she was told that her dance was going to be in a more hyper and hip-hop style instead of how their moves were, she still took what they told her to heart and was looking forward to showing them what she will be taught once she begins learning.

Lay comes back from the bathroom and passes the dance studio only to stop once he sees the members in there with Jennie. He walks in while Jen doesn’t notice, fixated on the two dancers in front of her. Walking over to Xiumin and Chen, they greet him.

“Who is that?” Lay asks curiously.

“Oh, that’s Jennie. She’s from BTS. She’s good friends with Chanyeol and Baekhyun. She came here to visit and hang with us. We were going to go eat later.” Chen answers.

“Jennie.” Lay nods, as her name rings a bell.

Following water dancing, the members started talking amongst themselves and worked on some old choreography for fun. Jen then notices Lay who was texting on his phone and decided to approach him.

She remembered him. He was their Chinese member of the group and wondered if she should use what she learned in Chinese to help communicate with him if he wasn’t so comfortable speaking in Korean or English. Deciding to give it a shot, she begins speaking in his language, hoping for the best.

“You’re Lay, right?” Jen asks as he looks up in surprise. “Hi! I’m Jennie. It’s nice to meet you.”

“Hi! You speak Chinese?” he replies in his language.

“A little. I’m still learning. Ever since I met The8 from Seventeen I have been trying to learn the language to communicate with him more. Seems to be paying off, huh?”

“It has. Your pronunciation is good.”

“I’m glad you can understand me.”

“Is it hard for you as an idol from America?”

“Most definitely. Foreigner 101 in K-Pop. Struggling every day but somehow surviving.”

He chuckles softly. “Tell me about it.”

“Oh, do I have stories.”

“I have time.”

“Okay. Let’s chat. You want to walk around? I am actually curious to see how different the building is from Big Hit’s. I also want to check out the memorabilia.”

“Sure. Let’s go.”

Once they leave the studio after letting the members know, they walk around passing staff members along the way.

“I am not gonna lie, being a foreigner here is hard,” Jen admits. “I take it day by day and push through but still.”

“I agree. My Korean could use a little work. Sometimes I have to ask people to speak slowly so I can make sure I understand.”

“Me too! Or you just see me fake laughing while looking confused on variety shows. And sometimes I may say words that mean something way different than what I implied.”

“That happened to me during a music show interview while I was with Chanyeol. I mispronounced a word. Urgh, so embarrassing.”

“Jimin and Taehyung made me say a dirty word in Korean. It was awful and on V-live! They didn’t even correct me until I saw the fan comments laughing and freaking out. When I called them out on it those two started cackling in my face. I got them back by beating them with pillows.”

Lay laughs wholeheartedly. “I should start doing that.”

“You should. It’ll make them think twice from doing it again.”

“Do you often miss home?”

“Always. The distance was so hard when I first started here. I do get homesick sometimes, but I learned to cope. Being around good friends and keeping in touch with family has helped. So, it isn’t that bad. However, I always feel so elated when I go home.”

“Yes, nothing like home. Especially the food. The food is good when you go home. I should try some American dishes the next time I go to America. Perhaps once we go on tour again, I’ll eat some good food there.”

“Definitely. If you want any recommendations, let me know. Actually, let’s exchange numbers. I also gotta get the other guys’ numbers too.” she takes out her phone. After exchanging numbers, she texts him to make sure he got it.

“Got it. You know, it’s really nice to talk to someone about being a foreigner here. Someone to relate to.”

“Yeah, especially when you understand exactly what they’re talking about. Let’s definitely keep in touch. Well, either way, you’re kinda stuck with me now so I’m going to enjoy our forthcoming friendship.”

Lay lets out a soft laugh, taking a good look at her. “Wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Jennie was stoked to be back at ISAC. She could not wait to play volleyball and wrestle the girls again. Bangtan was with the team of Got7, Bestie and Twice as she found herself sitting and hanging out with 4Minute while the men’s Korean Wrestling preliminaries were going on. The first match consisted of Jin going up against BTOB’s Changsub as Armies chanted ‘Kim Seokjin’ for support.

“Let’s go Jin! Use them shoulders! USEEEEE THEM!” Jen cheers and begins doing his traffic dance, making Armies cheer.

Jungkook giggles with Taehyung and points at her to get Jin’s attention. Jin looked pleased with her dancing and gave her a flying kiss which she dramatically catches it and puts it in her pocket for safekeeping.

“You guys are so cute with your gestures. It’s nice to see you and the boys get along so well.” Sohyun beams when Jen sits back down.

“I know. One big crazy family. They drive me nuts but I love them.” Jen replies.

She watches closely as the match begins. Her heart drops as Jin managed to remain on his feet as he was slightly lifted up. But in the end, he was taken down. Despite his loss, Jen still cheered for him and his efforts.

Next match was Taehyung going up against Eunkwang.

“My baby V!” Jen shouts. “Woo! Atta boy!” she looks on happily when he quickly placed him down. Tae’s speed was no joke. It was so sudden as Armies were screaming for him.
Lastly was Jungkook facing Minhyuk. This was crucial because they were the ones who would decide who will advance in the next round.

“Nini, I think Jungkook is looking at you.” Sohyun points out.

Jen notices Jungkook smiling at her direction, making her heart flutter. She returns his smile and mouths ‘You got this’ as it gives him an extra boost of confidence while walking up to the circle.

The 4minute members squeal at their little gestures, grabbing on to Jennie.

“That was so cute~!” Jiyoon swoons.

“Hyuna told us that you two started dating. I ship!” Jihyun beams.

“Jennie and Kookie sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!” Sohyun starts singing. “First comes love, then comes marriage-“

“Hush!” Jen tries to get away from them while they continue laughing but gets stuck in a group hug by them.

As the match commenced, Jen watched as the two went back and forth, trying to trip each other down. It made her heart rate quicken as they were equally matched. As a result, Jungkook falls down on top of him to win.

After the rest of the matches, Bangtan goes into the semifinals for wrestling. Before things got started, Teen Top and Bangtan were interviewed and Taehyung mentioned Jennie.

“Ennie.” Taehyung turns and points to her, making her smile. “She gave me advice during training so I will use what she told me to continue to win. She gives me strength and she is a supportive friend. Jennie, I will work hard.”

That brought cheers to be heard around the arena, with Taennie shippers swooning over the moment. Jen had given him advice on using his speed. Although he was small and may not look as strong as his opponents, she suggested him to use his speed as an advantage. It seemed like he had been doing exactly what she said, making her proud of him.

The first match was Taehyung going up against Teen Top’s L.Joe. Soon as the whistle is blown, he slams him down quickly, earning a point for his team.

“Yasssss!” Jen jumps up and down, cheering. “Go V!”

After Taehyung leaves the ring, he turns to Jennie, smiling brightly and giving her two peace signs, which she returns. She then makes eye contact with Jungkook and narrows her eyes, nonverbally saying, ‘Do not mess this up. You better win this.’

The Golden Maknae smirks in response, nodding as he goes up to the circle. His opponent was Teen Top’s C.A.P. The match was fast paced as they were stumbling all over the place, seeking to get each other down but in the end, Jungkook managed to trip him down, landing on top of him.

‘That’s my man.’ Jen grins.

For the final round, Bangtan were last up against VIXX. Jen stood with the rest of the members to watch and cheer the boys on. The first contest was Jungkook vs Hyuk. Starting, the two were much more intense than the last matches that were shown.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!” Jen exclaims, watching the action. Jungkook was putting up a good fight as he was occasionally lifted up but managed to keep his balance. Then, he manages to lift him up and bring him down.

“YES!” she shouts, jumping up with Taehyung. Once Jungkook met up with them as the members patted him on the back, she goes to high five him. “I’m so proud of you!”

Jungkook chuckles softly, feeling good about the constant praising he was receiving from his loved ones.

Next up was Taehyung going up against Leo. It was a back and forth match but in the end, Leo survived, taking Taehyung down. Once Tae met back with the members, Jen pats him on the back. Lastly was Jin and he would be the deciding factor if his team wins or loses.
His opponent was Ken. Jin goes on the attack first, aiming to trip him down but then ends up falling on his back, making VIXX the winners. Although Bangtan lost, the members were proud of their efforts and accepted the silver medal.

Backstage Jennie noticed a pattern that has been happening. It was like they did not want her to win. They took her out of the women’s wrestling at the last minute, which they didn’t give her a reason and decided that they only wanted her to play volleyball now. She was disappointed because she really wanted to wrestle again, the first time was fun, and she wanted her team to win.

Idols started to talk amongst themselves about JenKook once they saw them holding hands and even wearing matching Nike sneakers that Jen had given him when she came back to confess. Gossip went around fast both positive and negative.

Jen didn’t pay much attention to what they thought and found herself talking with CLC’s Yeeun, catching up.

“I heard you got booted from wrestling. What the heck is up with the staff?” Yeeun asks.

Jen sighs, “I have no clue but I won’t let that ruin my day.”

“Don’t worry, you would’ve kicked ass anyway. They were probably just nervous to wrestle you since you’re that good. So, care to tell me about you know who?” Yeeun nudges her.

“You know who and I are very happy.” Jennie smiles. “We spent Valentine’s day together. I created this cute little video game thing for him. It was nice.”

“Aw. So adorable! You look happy. You know who can’t stop talking about you. He had this big smile on his face when he happily answered questions about your relationship to Yugyeom.”

“Word is traveling fast, huh?”

“Well after you know who kept holding your hand and smiling at you backstage, I’m sure that got idols talking. And you know this is the spot where we can all kinda get to know everyone and secretly date. Has it been hard keeping it a secret from the public?”

“Not really but we still want to be careful. I can’t even imagine how ARMY will react if our relationship leaks. It’s something I want to avoid because these fans just seem so hostile over idols. It’s crazy.”

“Tell me about it.”

“And us all over Dispatch will be a worst-case scenario. Would not want them leaking anything about us.”

“Dispatch is the worst! Please be extra careful.”

“For sure.”

“And be aware of some of these girls that try to make moves on your man. I saw some eyeballing you know who not too long ago.”

“Not surprised. Who?”

“Some of those chicks from Oh My Girl. I dunno their names but just keep a lookout and keep your guard up.”

“I’m actually supposed to be going up against them in volleyball.”

“Wow, this keeps getting better. Just keep a close on them. I’ll do the same. They seem so sketchy. They need to stay in their lane and back off guys that are happily dating someone. It’s very annoying to watch.”

“Thanks for the heads up, Yeeun.”

“Anytime girl.”

“You’re having a comeback soon, right? Excited?”

“Very! Our song High Heels will be released around February. Can’t wait!”

“Me either. I know it’s going to be good.”

“Yeeun! We need you!” Sorn calls out from across the hall while standing with the other CLC members.

“I’ll see you later hon. Good luck out there!” Yeeun gives her a hug and meets with her members.

“Hey, stranger!” Jackson picks Jennie up for a big hug, making her laugh.

“Jackson! I missed you!” she gets set down.

“I missed you too! All the guys do! We need to plan something to hang out again. Bam Bam’s been asking about you. Been busy huh? All boo’d up now?”

The sound of Bam Bam’s name made her sad. She hasn’t seen him since that day. And she felt bad since he really liked her.

Jackson noticed her mood shift and placed a hand on her shoulder. “Hey.” he gently speaks, “He’s happy for you. Don’t worry. He’s excited to see you. Everything is fine, so turn that frown into a smile. He and Jungkook were just laughing their asses off at some memes they found not too long ago. He playfully told Jungkook that he’ll kick his ass if he hurts you too.”

Jen chuckles at the image of that, boosting her mood. “Okay. I will. Where is he anyway?”

“Let’s go find him.”

Meanwhile, with other idols, they were talking about the new couple, JenKook. Comments consisted of,

“They go well together.”
“I agree, they’re cute together.”
“Why can’t I get a boyfriend already?”
“Who knew they’d be dating? So surprising.”
“Not to me, he crushed on her for a while now.”
“Jungkook is so handsome…sucks he’s taken now.”
“Lucky Jennie. I guess she asked him out probably.”
“I heard Jungkook liked her for a while now.”
“You think they’ll last?”
“I kinda think they will last.”
“We said this about Taeyeon and Baekhyun but they broke up. I dunno if they’ll last but I wish them the best.”
“I hope they remain strong together. We’ll see once they start going through stuff. They’re still at the start of their relationship stage. Wait until that dies down and they start to really go through real couple problems.”
“I’ve seen some girls watching Jungkook. So rude of them, right? He’s taken yet they want to try to make moves.”
“Hahaha, some guys were so disappointed when they found out Jennie is dating Jungkook.”
“Jungkook is so kind and sweet. I hope she doesn’t take that for granted or anything.”
“About time they started dating!”

Once Jen finds Bam Bam backstage, she lets out a breath before approaching him. A lot went through her mind. Jackson said things were fine but were things really fine? Was he still bummed over her choosing Jungkook?

“Bam Bam.”

He turns around and his eyes soften once he sees her. “Jennie!” he shouts and wraps his arms around her. “I’ve missed you!”

“Missed you more.” She hugs him back. She didn’t know how much time passed as they stood there hugging for a while, not wanting to let go. Finally pulling away, they look at each other.

“Ah…don’t look at me like that. Smile you!” He chuckles and puts his hands on her cheeks. “Congrats to you and Kookie. I was just talking to him actually. I made sure to let him know that if he breaks your heart, he will deal me personally.”

She laughs. “We’re fine. Don’t worry.”

“Good. I’m just happy that you’re happy. As long as that smile is on your face, then I’m good.”

Bam Bam wasn’t as bummed as he was when he first decided to let her go since he knew deep down Jungkook was the one for Jen. He was feeling much better than before and things were still the same between them.

“You hear about the nonsense of me being ejected from the wrestling matches?” Jen speaks up.

“Yeah, I heard! Ridiculous! Did you ask why?”

“They wouldn’t give me a solid reason. I’m just so confused about this. Like I trained and everything and now the opportunity got taken away.”

“I think it’s because they see you as a threat and don’t want you to win. If you were wrestling, you would’ve taken those girls down for sure.”

She smiles at his words. “You’re probably right.”

“I remember how shook the girls looked when you took that one girl down within a few seconds. I’m sure they were intimidated. You take this more seriously than the majority of them since you love being competitive. Don’t change. Ever.”

“Jennie, time to get ready for volleyball,” Sejin informs her as she nods and turns back to Bam Bam

“We’ll be cheering you on. Kick ass out there.” He puts his palms out low and she slaps them down. She does the same as he slaps her palms down and then he lifts his palms up in front of her so they can slap hands again.

With Oh My Girl, a few members were not pleased to hear that Jungkook was taken and that he was dating Jennie. Some idols even gossiped that he downgraded and wondered why he wasn’t dating anyone near his ideal type.

“And wasn’t she called up very early and spent the least amount of time as a trainee? I bet those other trainees that Big Hit have are sick to their stomach that she gets to do all these things that she doesn’t deserve.” YooA spats.

“I know…and she gets to date a hottie like him? This is ridiculous.” Binnie replies.

“Ugh, I waited too late to tell him I like him. Now she’s in the picture.” Jiho grumbles. “I still can’t believe this is actually real.”

“To be honest, I don’t think it’s going to last,” YooA adds.

Jiho rubs her temples. “It better not last.”

Binnie shrugs. “Yeah, maybe it’s just a little fling going on and they’re just messing around.”

“I wish it was me instead of her.” Jiho sighs. “You think that butt of hers is fake? She probably got surgery.”

“I bet she did.” YooA laughs.

Binnie nods. “I know right? And he’ll get tired of her soon and then you can finally make your move.”

“Do you think she gets around?” YooA ponders.

“I dunno but I wouldn’t be surprised. She’s still here after all this time.” Binnie adds.

“Ugh, he’s so cute and I really like him. I’m jealous that she stole him away. I was going to try to talk to him today, too.” Jiho exclaims.

“Hey, you still can. Try to talk to him when Jen is playing her volleyball game.” YooA suggest.
Jiho nods in approval. “Not a bad idea.”

The girls walk into the dressing room and stop when they see Jennie putting her hair in a high bun, already dressed in her volleyball attire for the upcoming game.

“Hi, Jennie!” Jiho beams.

Jen looks at them through the mirror and smiles. “Hey! How are you, guys?”

“We’re good! It’s nice to see you. You look pretty.”

“Thanks. Let’s have a good game out there, okay?”

“Sure, sure! So…are the rumors true?”

“What rumors?”

“You know! You and a certain Golden Maknae. Everyone keeps talking about it.”

“Oh.” Jen immediately smiles and feels her face warm up. “Word travels fast with the idols, huh?”

“Are you really dating Jungkook?”

“Happily, yes.”

The disappointment was evident in her voice, “So, this wasn’t a joke?”

“Nah, sis. Why would it be?”

“I dunno…it just seems weird.”

“How is it weird?”

“You’re not even his ideal type.” Jiho narrows her eyes.

“Okay…? What does that have to do with anything?” she asks, confused.

“We’re just surprised he would be into a girl like you. You two seem like a weird couple.” Binnie adds.

“Huh. And you sound big mad.” she calmly replies and places her comb and brush in her bag.

“Us? Mad? You wish.” YooA laughs bitterly.

“Wooooooow…the shit is just dropping from that mouth of yours. Bullshit everywhere.” Jen replies bluntly.

“Excuse me?” YooA snaps. “With that horrible personality of yours, I wonder why of all people he decided to date you when you’re nothing special.”

“To you. But to him and myself, I’m way more than special. And yeah, of all people he chose me. You can’t be happy for someone without being bitter?”

“You know Jennie, you just keep giving me reasons on why I really don’t like you,” Jiho responds angrily.

“Oh, I know. I heard the fake-assness in your voices when you strolled in here after talking mad shit.”

The girls were taken aback by her accusation and stammers, “We were not talking any shit-”

“After dealing with Amity, I can tell from a mile away, so don’t lie to my face. So, what have you been saying behind my back? Oh, I don’t deserve him? Why me of all people? What does he see in me? Oh and this is my favorite, does she get around and sleep with various guys?”

“So, what if we did? We were only speaking the truth.” Binnie shrugs.

Jen lets out a dry laugh and shakes her head. “It’s sad when females try to tear each other down like this.”

“We’re not tearing you down. This is all facts. We all don’t like you. You’re very annoying and loud. Everyone rolls their eyes when they hear that bothersome voice of yours.” Binnie asserts.

“Wow, are you really doing this now? Look, I don’t care what you think about me. I can be as extra and loud as I want. So, shut up and let’s try to have a good game out there and keep it cordial on the court in front of the cameras.”

“Suit yourself.” The girls and were about to leave until Jiho walks back up to Jennie.

“Although I wonder…what if someone looking like his ideal type tells him they like him? Let’s say that person is IU. I bet he’ll dump you and go to her in a heartbeat. And I bet Jungkook is only dating you because his friends made a bet.”

Jen exhales and turns to her, unamused. The stare Jen gave her caused her to take a step back, intimidated. YooA, however, grabs Jiho back and speaks up,

“This little puppy love is not going to last, Jennie. We give you until May. I’d keep a careful eye on Kookie. Someone else may catch his eye. See you at the court, little miss golden girlfriend.”

After the girls depart, Jen rolls her eyes and looks at herself in the mirror.

‘Mind games before the game, huh?’ she thought.

Just wait until she gets on that court…

---

Walking out of the dressing room, Jungkook approaches her with a bright smile but drops his smile when he notices that something was wrong.

“Hey, what happened?” he asks softly.

Jen chooses to let him know what just occurred in the dressing room with the Oh My Girl members. It infuriated him that they would think of horrible things like that. And what agitated him the most was that they assumed he was only dating her because of a bet. They will never understand what he went through to be in this position with Jennie. How he poured his heart out to her in the hotel room.

“What we have is not a bet, Jennie,” he responds firmly. The sincerity in his voice made her heart flutter because she knew how much she meant to him. No one can take what they have away from them.

“I know. It’s okay. I’ll handle them. They’re just trying to get in my head and make me doubt our relationship. Stupid stuff.”

Pulling her in his arms, he hugs her tightly and puts his chin on her head. Just being in his arms gave her the comfort she needed as she began to feel better, forgetting about the drama that occurred. He pulls away and kisses her forehead, giving her a bunny smile.

“Don’t even worry about them. Focus on beating them in volleyball. Hyungs and I will be watching and cheering you on. So, show them why you were victorious during the last ISAC.”

Jen teamed up with a few Twice members to take on Oh My Girl for volleyball. She stood on the court, talking strategy with her teammates until the members of BTS and Got7 began yelling and cheering them on, making them laugh.

“JENNIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!” Jimin yells.

“MUNCHKIIIINNNNNN~!” Hobi yells.

“THAT’S MY BABY~!” Jin proudly screams.

“ENNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!” Taehyung shouts.

“SMARTIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE~!” Yoongi screams.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOO GIRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!” Bam Bam hollers

“WEEEEEEEEE LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~!” Jackson yells

“LETS GET ITTTTTTT~!” Mark shouts.

“Oh my GOD, I get it!” she yells at them, amused.

Namjoon, Jungkook and the rest of the Got7 members felt second-hand embarrassment as they chuckle to themselves, shaking their heads at their members for acting this way. They were so extra every time she performed. But this was Jennie they were talking about. They loved to see her in action.

As the announcers called out each teammate, Jen got an exciting reception from Armies as she smiles shyly when she looks up to see her face plastered on the screen. The announcers showed a montage of her dominating performance from the last ISAC with volleyball and believed she will win again.

“Jen-Walker! Jen-Walker! Jen-Walker!” Armies chant her name. Jen responds by showing a heart on camera, making fans scream.

Jiho stood on the sidelines, not in the match and decided to take advantage of this opportunity by approaching Jungkook while Jen focused on the game. It was bold of her to do this, but it was nothing like getting inside Jen’s head to throw her off her game and make her team lose. Perhaps she could prove that she can’t focus with a boyfriend and show that Jungkook is more interested in someone like her instead.

“Jungkook!” Jiho calls out and bows to him as he politely bows back. “You were so cool in your wrestling matches!”

Meanwhile, with Jen who spikes the ball for a point, the crowd cheers loudly while she high fives her teammates. Her smile dropped once she saw who Jungkook was with and something in her made her blood boil.

Was she really trying to shoot her shot? She trusted Jungkook. She had no issues there but it was making her mood go south that Jiho couldn’t just back off. A few of her teammates noticed how she began to spike the ball harder and harder with aggression, too.

The fact that Jiho was all over him, putting her hands on him and giggling extra hard, attempting to flirt was beginning to piss her off. And JenKook shippers watching the show noticed and jokingly talked about how Jen looks like she wants to kill her and wipe the floor with her face. But little did they know this was all true.

“Your boyfriend seems a little occupied with Jiho don’t you think? I wonder if they’re kissing right now.” Binnie taunts, standing in front of Jennie as the net was the only thing blocking them from each other.

Fed up, Jen decides to tackle Binnie to the floor, making her yell in shock as she begins punching her in her face. Loud yells of commotion surrounded Jennie as she kept hitting her, letting out her frustrations while Binnie tried to block her hits but with no avail.

Back to reality (You wished that was real, huh?) after pondering about kicking her ass, Jen was still standing in front of Binnie with the court separating them. It wasn’t worth hitting her. It wasn’t worth fighting as much as her thinking about it made her want to. And it would be unfair to Bangtan if she did a stunt like that. She wasn’t a violent person and she refused to stoop to their level. She’ll handle them and get them back another way.

Nonviolently.

Meanwhile, Jungkook was shooked at what Jiho was trying to do, getting uncomfortable. All that was on his mind was trying to get the heck away from this girl as he kept his eyes on Jennie, watching her. Jiho didn’t take too kindly to his attention fixated on Miss Bangtan.

‘Why won’t he look at me?’ Jiho huffs.

Jen makes eye contact with Jungkook, giving him a look that said, ‘That girl needs to get the hell away from you. Now.’

Widening his eyes, Jungkook gave her a look that said, ‘Relax, I’ll handle it. Focus on the game.’

Jungkook tried to think of a plan to get the girl away but then Jimin and Taehyung started to get a sense of what was happening and took matters into their own hands.

“Jungkookie! We need to talk!” Jimin grabs a hold of him. “Excuse us!” he smiles and takes him away with Taehyung, irritating Jiho.

“The hell was that? Annoying woman ruining my gosh darn ship. Not today you won’t!” Jimin grumbles.

“I know we just started enjoying our ship, we aren’t letting this go any time soon,” Taehyung adds.

With Jen, spiking the ball again, YooA manages to walk right to the ball and lets it hit her face as she dramatically falls to the floor, holding her face in pain.

“Ow! She hit me!” she says, causing everyone to look in shock.

“Are you okay!?” Jen exclaims as they all go up to her. Her stomach drops as she looks at what happened.

It all happened so fast, she didn’t even hit the ball as hard as she usually does. How could she be hurt by this? YooA kept pointing out that Jen hit her too hard with the ball.

“Wait, what? Are you serious? It was just an accident.” Jen exclaims. “I’m sorry girl, but it was not my intention to hit you.”

“Jennie, you’re ejected.” The referee asserts.

The Twice and Bestie members look on in shock while Jen turns to the referee, confused. “Wait. What?”

“You’re ejected.”

“But that makes no sense. I didn’t do anything wrong. It was an accident!”

“You used unnecessary rough tactics.”

“How?!”

“You hit her face.”

“It wasn’t even that hard! And it looked intentional on her part! It was like she walked to the ball to get hit. I would never try to hurt anyone on this court like this. Come on.”

“Jennie, exit the court.”

“Can you just let me explain-“

“Exit the court or your entire team will be disqualified. Abide my decision.”
“I-“

“Now Jennie. Why are you talking back to me?”

“Bangtan Sonyeondan’s Jennie has been ejected from the game!” An announcement was heard as Armies were not happy with what was transpiring in front of them. Tremendous commotion occurred around the arena as fans were trying to figure out why the referee would make a decision so drastic like this. Even the idols were puzzled. Many were not happy with this decision, wanting to watch her play.

Jen scowls as emotions run through her. She wanted to scream and she wanted to cuss somebody out. This was not fair. It was like they weren’t even listening to her. Not letting her get one word in. Not letting her say her side of the story and she was forced to respect what they say even if she disagreed. She hated it and she knew people were going to call her disrespectful for talking back to a referee that is her senior in Korea.

With the members, Bangtan and Got7 looked in with concern.

“Unbelievable…” Bam Bam shakes his head, not happy at the ref’s decision.

“Is she okay!?” Mark asks.

“What is this!? Put her back in the game!” Jin exclaims.

“Why is she getting taken out?” Hobi asks.

“I know! It looked like an accident.” Youngjae points out.

“This is some bullcrap! She shouldn’t be ejected.” Jackson angrily adds.

“Fuckin’ bullshit…” Yoongi grumbles.

“Something’s not right…” Namjoon murmurs and walks away from the guys.

With Jen, she runs her hands through her hair, sitting on the bench while her team began losing the lead of the game. On Twitter, armies were pissed at what was happening and wanted justice for her.

“Nini.”

A hand was placed on her shoulder and she turns to look up at Namjoon with tears, angry at herself.

“Do not lose your cool. Tell me exactly what happened.”

After telling him what happened since she was in the dressing room with the Oh My Girl members, she says, “She’s faking it and the officials are not listening to me when I say it’s an accident. And how can they let her still play and not think she was faking? She looks fine. I bet if it was the other way around they wouldn’t eject her. They treat me like I’m an afterthought. I’m tired of this.”

She stands up, continuing her rant, “They’re making me look like the bad guy, I did nothing wrong. And now here I am, dealing with another embarrassing moment. And here I thought tripping during that running relay the first time I attended ISAC was the most embarrassing moment I had here in Korea.”

“Will you just sit here and do nothing? Or will you guide your team from the bench?” he asks. “Don’t let these girls stop us from winning. Just because you’re out of the game does not mean your team lost. You know what to do.”

Jen nods, taking his advice while he gives her a hug and encouraging smile.

As the game took a brief time out, Jennie goes to her teammates and discussed strategy, giving them pointers. They seemed discouraged now that she was out of the game since she was their star player but Jen remained determined to lead them to victory. After watching the girls go back to the court, Jin and Taehyung approached her, giving her water and smarties respectively to make her feel better.

“Thanks, guys.” she starts to munch on her smarties.

“How you holding up sweetie? I cannot believe that little girl did that. Like how dare she?” Jin shakes his head, watching YooA play. She had a smug look on her face while playing as Armies pointed it out online.

“I ain’t even worried anymore. It’s fine.” she shrugs.

Jiho, however, kept taunting her from afar, which made Jen start to slowly walk in her direction. Seeing this, Taehyung wraps his arms around her from behind, lifting her up and turning her away from Jiho so she wouldn’t do something she would regret.

“Ennie. Stay here with me.” he murmurs in her ear, squeezing her tightly while Taennie shippers went crazy over the cute moment. Jen’s body relaxes into his as her annoyance went away.

Once Jin and Taehyung left, Jen continued to encourage her team, acting like a coach standing by the sidelines of an NBA game. It looked like Onces were also praising her for how supportive and patient she was with Twice even if they weren’t as great in volleyball like Jennie. But Jen believed in them and that boosted their confidence.

“Nayeon! It’s all you!” Jen shouts.

Suddenly, Nayeon spikes the ball, making it hit the floor for the last match point. The crowd erupts into loud cheers while Jen fist pumps.

“Atta girl!” Jen shouts happily, jumping up and down.

“YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!” Got7 and BTS celebrate their team win with Bestie cheering in the background.

Jungkook smirks and nods in approval for his girlfriend’s efforts. ‘That’s my girl.’ He proudly thought.

Meanwhile, Jiho drops her jaw, disgusted by the results while turning to Jen to give her a glare with Binnie and YooA. Jen just smirks victoriously in response and curtseys with her arms outstretched.

As the show went on, Jen changed back into her regular ISAC attire.

“Let’s go J-Hope!” Jen cheers, watching him prepare for the first men’s 60m sprint event. Looking her way, he gives her a bright smile after hearing her words.

“Get ready! Set!” the announcer shoots the gun and the guys dash away but Lee Min Hyuk took the lead instantly with his notorious speed. For the second event, Jungkook was up to represent their team as Jen and Taehyung massage his shoulders, giving him a pep talk before he runs. After patting him on the back Jen watches him get to the third lane to prepare to run.

She sits on the floor with Jin and J-Hope while watching the close running match as he was neck and neck with Woo Seong. They kept replaying it to see who won and it looked like Woo Seong got first place while he got second with a 0.03 second difference.

Things were going well for the show but what caught everyone off guard, making fans scream was when Jungkook had lifted his shirt to show off his abs. Not expecting it either, Jen’s astonished expression became a relatable reaction to K-Pop fans. She also made her friends laugh when she grabbed a water bottle, chugging it quickly. JenKook shippers took it as a big JenKook moment, getting fanfiction ideas.

Making eye contact with her, Jungkook raising his eyebrows, he initiates another nonverbal conversation. ‘You look flustered, Jennie’

Flustered? Flustered where?

Jen scoffs, ‘Hah! You wish I was.’

He smirks cockily, ‘You were staring, weren’t you?’

‘I wasn’t.’

‘You sure?’ he tilts his head to the side.

‘Yep.’

‘You know…it’s okay to stare. I don’t mind.’

‘I wasn’t staring.’

‘You really liked what you saw huh?’

She narrows her eyes, ‘Shut up!’

Deciding to tease her, he glances back down at his clothed stomach and back at her, raising an eyebrow suggestively, ‘You want to see them up close when we go back to the dorm?’

‘No, stop!’ her eyes widen and she looks away quickly, covering her face.

A short laugh escaped his lips, ‘Cute.’ he thought.

Afterward, the crowd was screaming for Jungkook as he stood by, being interviewed.
“Bangtan has a song called Run, right?” he was asked as he starts singing the chorus, capturing hearts everywhere. Soon as the gun is heard, the boys dash away while everyone watches in anticipation and as a result, Min Hyuk wins again.

Lastly was the 400m relay finale. Bangtan was in this going up against VIXX, BTOB and BAP. Jimin, Taehyung, J-Hope and Jungkook were representing for their team. Once the gun was shot, everyone starts running.

“Come on Jimin!” Jen yells, watching him run past everyone and hand the stick to Tae. She jumps up and down in anticipation, cheering him on while BAP was close behind. Giving the stick to J-Hope, he dashes away as loud cheers erupted in the arena.

“Run Hope run! Run Hope Run!” she yells as the announcers praise Bangtan for being fast and some began rooting for them to win. Lastly was Jungkook who received the stick and he books it, having a large gap in between the rest of the guys. It was all over after that and as he got close to the finish line, he jumps over it, winning for his team.

“Bangtan are the winners!” the announcers say as the members meet up with Jungkook to celebrate.

For The Boss Is Watching show, BTS attended along with various of other boy and girl groups. The show was a survival show with various CEOs to watch over them to find out who is the best idol. This was supposed to be a fun time but Jen was not in the best of moods.

She was so looking forward to filming for it but then at the last minute, the production team told her to sit out for the games that they would have. What a surprise. They didn’t tell her exactly why but it crushed her mood regardless because she was especially looking forward to wrestling. She thought she could finally get the chance to do it unlike at ISAC but no. So, she sat all the way in the back with the rest of the members, wearing white while trying to be happy on camera. She bet this happened because of what happened during ISAC.

None the less, she didn’t even want to be here. She thought this show was a joke and a waste of time. She would rather be back at the dorms. Not being bored, watching all this. She questioned the shows they make idols attend these days but she grinned and beared it in the end, speaking with her idol friends to help ease her annoyance.

Once filming began, one by one the CEOs from various companies came out as their respective groups cheered for them. Soon as BTS’ CEO, Kim Shingyu walks out, they stood up, hyped as they applauded him. When asked if he could sing a song, the members laughed when he said: “I need you girl” which increased Jen’s mood.

After the introductions, the show began as Jen had a hard time enjoying it since she wasn’t that involved. She bet she wouldn’t even be on camera that much either. It just really sucked. Like why did you change your mind at the last minute to not let her participate in the games? Who did she piss off?

The first test was for strength as they started off with the guys. Jennie immediately cheered for Jungkook when he went up to face a member of BAP. Once he took him down quickly, BTS were pleased to see him win.

Catching eyes with GFriend, they give Jen knowing looks when Jungkook won. “Stop staring at me.” she laughs at them.

For the semifinals, Jungkook took on UP10TION’s Kogyul. After a brief interview on what they think of one another, hoping to win, they face off. Everyone was stunned to see Jungkook quickly lift him up to take him down, using his strength to his advantage.

“Gee Wiz!” Jen exclaims, standing up to clap with the rest of the members. She thought it was hilarious to see the baffled expressions of some idols that watched as he took him down.

“Jennie, does Jungkookie use his strength on you like that when we’re not around?” Jimin teases.

“Jimin!” she yells in a hushed voice, kicking him when sitting back down. He giggles in response with Taehyung and Hobi who overheard them. She even heard Yoongi chuckle a bit at his teasing. “We’re pure people. Innocent, fluffy couple. Jungkook does not throw me on anything or use his strength on me.”

“But you want him to.” Taehyung teases.

Smacking Tae upside the head, she grumbles in a hushed voice, “No, I do not! Shut the heck up already!”

“And the lie detector determined that was a lie,” Namjoon replies, making Jen turn to him.

“Not you too!” She groans, earning a laugh from him.

For the final round, Jungkook faces S.Coups from Seventeen. Jimin and Taehyung stood with Jungkook for support while the two opponents were interviewed briefly. After a back and forth battle, S.Coups managed to take him down for the win.

Once Jungkook got situated, he went back to sit with the members, taking a seat next to Jennie. Placing a hand on his back, she rubs it comfortingly while the GFriend members giggled and gushed at their skinship.

“I’m proud of you, Kookie. You were great out there.”

“Ah, but I lost…” he sighs.

“Doesn’t matter. You’re still a winner to me. You tried your best, that is all that matters.”
Jungkook’s back relaxes at her words and he turns to look at her, giving her a bunny smile.

“Thanks, Jagi.” he shyly nicknames her.

‘Jagi.’ She thought as her face warms up. She heard that word before. If she recalled, it was something that couples called each other. The fact that he said that to her made her feel warm inside. Love was making her feel all types of ways.

When it was time to watch the girls wrestle, Jennie’s annoyance came back. She was so frustrated. Why couldn’t she wrestle too? Who made them change their mind?

“Ah, don’t feel bad smartie. We all know you would’ve won anyway so it’s okay.” Yoongi reassures her.

“Yeah…I guess.” Jen sighs as she watches the girls wrestle.

“Yeah, you would’ve beaten all their asses. That’s probably why they didn’t want you to participate.” Namjoon adds.

“Yeah, they think you’re intimidating,” Hobi mentions, making her feel better.

After Jungkook performed his hilarious impression of Zion T, making everyone laugh, the next event was a game of luck. Two idols would stand under a balloon of water and there were three buttons to choose from. The one that doesn’t choose the button that bursts the balloon will win. Jin represented BTS for the game and he went up against Jooheon.
Thankfully after listening to the members, he made it out nice and dry while Jooheon got splashed. But for the next round, he decided to choose 2 on the first attempt and got splashed, saying not to trust the other team’s boss.

For the next game, was a game of teamwork by playing a group chicken fight. It was entertaining to see everyone falling around and scrambling. She rooted for GFriend when they were up against Laboum, Brave Girls, Lovelyz and Twice. She even was shooked to see Hayoon using her strength to knock a few girls down. Jennie felt like a proud mom watching her kick butt. After the game, Laboum were the winners wins and then AOA won the entire next game.

For the guys, BTS went up against Monsta X, Seventeen and Teen Top. Yoongi, Jimin and Hobi represented Bangtan.

“Oh my gosh, they left my baby Chim Chim alone.” she laughs when Jimin was the last one representing Bangtan. “Evade! Evade!”

But once Jimin went to massage his leg, he gets knocked down. “BREH!” she exclaims.
Monsta X won the game which made Jen proud to see them succeed. For Group B, BAP advances. Watching Monsta X and BAP was fun since they were both going hard, determined to win. Monsta X prevailed in the end and near the end of filming, it was revealed that Sonamoo had won, enjoying a trip to East South Asia.

When fans found out that Jennie wasn’t shown much in the show, they tweeted about it and Jennie had even liked a tweet that said, ‘Lol they just didn’t want Jennie to participate because they know she’ll win. They don’t want her to be great. They did her dirty.’

---

Days later near the evening time, Jennie meets Yoongi and Jin at a restaurant.

“I’m here!” she announces, walking to their table.

“Smartie. Finally, you’re here.” Yoongi greets.

“Sweetie! Welcome to Eat Jin! Come! Come! Join us!” Jin gestures, taking his bag off the chair next to him so she could sit. “You finished your chores?”

“Yes, dad! I finished my chores. I can't believe you left without me like that. It wasn’t going to take that long to clean my room.” she sighs, getting comfortable.

Yoongi chuckles. “We started eating not too long ago, so dig in.”

“Oh, you’re on V-Live?” she looks at the screen. Smiling, she waves. “Yo! I miss y’all. I’ll do another live soon.”

“What were you doing today?” Yoongi asks.

“I was writing,” she answers.

“Lyrics?”

“Yep.”

“Your music?”

“Yeah, I got inspired so I started writing. It’s coming along. It’s crazy how someone can have such influence on your creativity, giving you inspiration for stuff.” she replies, thinking about Jungkook. Being in love was a crazy thing and she couldn’t help but write lyrics on how she feels about being with him.

“Ah…cute.” Yoongi murmurs, getting the hint she was talking about Jungkook.

“SO! What are we eating?”

“Today’s menu is beef brisket and galbi jjim.” Jin answers, fixing her a plate of food and places it in front of her. “Eat as much as you like. I want to see you eat a lot tonight. Don’t leave this table until I say so.”

“Yes, Jin.” she snickers and digs right in, devouring the beef.

“Isn’t this such a great agency? Giving us meat because we want it.”

“Yes, it is. I always ask them for smarties and they took over ordering them for me. I love it.”

“This is not a surprise,” Yoongi replies. “I was telling Jin earlier that we should eat eels next time.”

“Eels? I never had them. My dad loves them though. He always eats them when he can but I never asked to try some. Eating eels sounds interesting. I wouldn’t mind trying it.”

“Your dad and I will get along well. I want to eat some with him. Let’s make that a plan very soon.”

“What have you been up to lately besides writing lyrics?” Jin asks, handing her a wrap to eat.

“Gaming. Jungkook and I were playing smash a few days ago.” Jen recalls and begins munching on the wrap.

“You two keep gaming like your lives depend on it. Why not show Army the games you play since you two are fun to watch when you get angry or frustrated.” Yoongi suggests.

“So, you think Jungkook and I should make a twitch channel and stream once in a while if we’re free?” Jen ponders.

“Why not? Army, do you think that’s a good idea?”

Looking at the screen they see the Armies were eagerly interested in a JenKook Twitch channel since they enjoyed watching them together. Their chemistry and gaming competitive nature will be a treat to watch. And JenKook shippers would get even more JenKook fix too. Win/Win for fans.

“Okay, I’ll talk with him and see what we can do. That’s not a bad idea, I think it’ll be fun.” Jen nods in approval.

“Here.” Jin picks up a big piece of meat off his plate and feeds her. Before Jen could ask him to make more meat, he already had food ready and placed more food on her plate. It was like he just knew the right time to feed her which made her grateful. Armies even loved to see how much he cared about her eating well.

‘OMG aren’t you full Jennie??’ one comment was read.

Seems like a large amount of food she was eating bewildered some fans but Jin continued to proudly watch her eat to her heart’s content.

“Am I full?” Jen reads. “Nah, I’m just getting started!”

‘Why is she eating so much?’ she also reads. “Because I can and I love food. I wasn’t aware there was a limit to how much food I’m eating. This healthy weight is great. And this food is great. We need to eat this again.”

“You still working out?” Yoongi asks.

“Yep, I’ve been focusing more on my legs now. Been appreciating my legs more. They’re getting so toned, I’m so happy about it. Hard work is paying off.”

“Just know your legs aren’t as nice as mine.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah.” She rolls her eyes, chuckling.

“You have sauce on you.” Jin grabs a napkin and wipes her mouth. “There. Much better. Here place a few napkins on your lap so you won’t get food on you.”

After he does that, she continues to eat, feeling nurtured by him. Jen focused on her food while Yoongi and Jin talked amongst themselves. She would say a comment here and there.
“Suga, how is Jennie’s rapping coming along?” Jin asks.

“Don’t ask.” Jen groans.

“She’s doing well. She just doesn’t give herself enough credit. Still has a while to go but she is improving a lot. She just needs to learn more about her technique so it can be clearer.”
Yoongi replies. “You’re doing well Smartie. Don’t think that you aren’t.”

“You really think so?”

“I’m not repeating myself.”

She laughs. “Thanks.”

“We need more water for this.” Yoongi points out and turns the heat off. Grabbing a bowl, he pours it on top of the stove but the three of them flinch once they hear a popping sound from the heat and water.

“Please do aegyo.” Yoongi reads. “Want us to do aegyo while we eat? No way.”

Hearing Yoongi say that made Jen snicker while Jin briefly did some aegyo. Jin then made a wrap for Yoongi and aimed to feed him while Jen laughs.

“What are you doing? Why? I don’t understand.” Yoongi replies over Jin’s laughter and then took a bite while Jin talked about how it’s been a while since he fed him.

Near the end of dinner, the three finished up eating the last few pieces of their meal, stomachs happily full. They then asked Armies for suggestions on Eat Jin’s next episode and said bye to the fans.

---

That same night Namjoon hung out in Jennie’s room, preparing to be her guest for another episode of LetsPutMakeUpOnSmartie with Destructive Rapmon~

Once the video started, Jen and Namjoon waited a few moments until a large number of viewers came. When it did, Jen began to speak.

“YOOOOOO! WHAT IS UP!?” she loudly greets. “It is your favorite Bangtan girl, J to the E double N I E and with me today is our beloved leader of BTS, Rap Monsta! Say hello to our viewers!”

“Hello!” Namjoon waves and smiles.

“All right, you guys know what time it is. Today we are here for another episode of Let’s put makeup on smartie. My gosh, I survived the first episode with V, making me look like a clown, so hopefully, Rapmon makes me look somewhat decent.”

“You sound scared.” he teases.

“I am, not gonna lie.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t make you look crazy like V did.”

“I’ll take your word for it.”

“Okay. Stay still and let me make you beautiful.” he grabs eyeliner as she closes her eyes.
Unaware, Namjoon began to place eyeliner all over her eyes and once he was done, he grabs lip gloss. Opening her eyes, Jen looks at herself in a small mirror.

“Wait…what did you use?”

“This.” He innocently shows her the eyeliner.

“Dude, this is eyeliner. Why are you putting eyeliner on my eyelids?”

Namjoon looked bewildered as he saw that he messed up. “This is eyeliner? I thought this was eyeshadow!”

“BREH! No! They are so different from each other! Are you sleepy?”

“U-uh-okay-okay uh don’t panic. I got it. I’ll change it.” He grabs a makeup wipe, grabbing a hold of her face as she cringes. Wiping her eyes, he starts over but it looked like the damage was already done as the eyeliner was smeared around parts of her face, thanks to his wild wiping.

The stubborn pout/annoyed expression she had on her face made Armies laugh and think she was cute. When he continued, Armies commented how poor of a job Namjoon was doing thus far.

“Crap, I messed it up.” he cringes at the uneven wing he was trying to draw for her eyeliner.

“I don’t even want to know what you messed up but keep going,” she replies with her eyes closed.

“Don’t worry, I’ll fix it.” he attempts to but makes it worse. Giving up, he grabs the mascara to put on her eyelashes. He managed to do well with that without no issues and goes for the foundation and beauty blender.

Suddenly he squeezes too much foundation and ends up squirting it all over the place, making a mess. Including landing on her pants, table, and floor.

“Uh oh.” He cringes.

“What do you mean uh oh?” she demands.

“D-don’t open your eyes. Everything is under control.”

Jen opens them to witness her foundation all over the place. Blowing out her cheeks, she keeps her composure.

Why did she agree to this?

“Namjoon…that is the new foundation that I just got in the mail a few days ago and I only used it once!”

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’ll buy you more!” he tries to clean up the mess. Afterward, he applies what’s left on her face but Armies noticed he was putting too much, caking a bunch on her that was not needed.

“I just feel the extra make up smeared on my face. A little goes a long way,” she whines.

“I can fix this, don’t worry.”

‘We’re past worrying! I’m frightened to see the final product.” she responds as he laughs.

“I heard you might do a Twitch channel with Jungkook. Yoongi told me he suggested it. I think you two should go for it. Army will really like it.”

“I think I will. I’ll bring it up to him one of these days when I don’t have anything else going on. It’s like every time I want to ask him, it crosses my mind because I’m distracted with other stuff.”

“It be like that sometimes, Nini,” he replies and grabs an eyeshadow palette, examining it. “Oh, what’s this?”

A loud snap was heard seconds later which made Jen open her eyes again and scream over the broken palette in his hands.

“HOW!?” she yells.

“Uh…I-I can fix that.”

For the finished product, Jen’s face had smeared eyeliner and caked up foundation. But at least her mascara and lip gloss looked nice. She didn’t know who did better with her makeup. Taehyung or Namjoon.

---

When J-Hope’s birthday came, Jennie tweets ‘Happy birthday my sunshine! Oh how we all love you so! Thank you for being born! Lol I love your face expressions. #Jen’ along with the tweet she posts a funny photo of him.

Also, she tweeted, ‘I promise to bake you a cake once we have more free time. I have just the cake in mind for you sunshine! #Jen’

BTS were set to film a commercial for SKT. The members were clothed in fresh looking uniforms while Jen wore a skirt with her hair styled neatly in a cute bun. As filming began, Bangtan were filmed standing in front of a teacher and then were called up to be in small groups or to take care of individual filming for their scenes.

Jungkook periodically would make eye contact with Jennie until she finally noticed that it looked like he wanted something.

Raising an eyebrow, he initiates their nonverbal conversation, ‘Want to sneak away from everyone for a little bit?’

Jen pondered about it before shaking her head. ‘Tempting. But no.’

Jungkook shurgs. ‘Suit yourself.’

He knew she would say yes eventually. So, he remained persistent. She couldn’t resist forever.

For Jen’s scene, she was reading a book in the hallway and then looks up to see the teacher handing her a gift. She takes it, turning around, watching her walk away and then examines the gift. Once the shot was done a few more times, the director got good footage and she got to chill while the other members had their turns filming.

Chatting with J-Hope, Suga and V before they were about to film, Jen sat with them.

“Jennie, V, Suga? Should I tell you a legend that has passed down in our school?” J-Hope asks. “This person is also known as the great haul king. Wanna know who it is?”

“Who?” Jen asks.

“Who is it?” Suga adds.

J-Hope gestures them to lean in close. “It’s me. J-Hope!” he laughs loudly and claps at a fast pace. Jen stands up and walks away, making Suga and V cackle. “Wait! Wait, where you going!?” he exclaims, making her giggle at his whining.

“Goodbye!” she waves, leaving the room. Having the book in her hands, she decides to walk around slowly in an empty hallway to check it out.

With the cameras not on him, Jungkook decided to do Kabedon on Jennie, making his way over to her as she curiously skimmed through the book. Feeling herself getting walked back, her back hits the wall with a thud as she drops her book and looks up at Jungkook who slams his hand over her head, leaning in close.

“You,” he speaks coolly, portraying a tsundere. “Why are you shaking up my heart?”

She laughs in his face and gently pushes him off. “Nice try. But no.” she takes a good look at him. He looked so handsome. And she loved how his hair was styled to show off his forehead. But she was not going to be tempted. No matter how…fine this man looked.

“Nice area to make out in but there’s somewhere quieter we can go.” He persists, looking around.

“Ha-ha-goodbye~!” she slips away again after picking up her book.

As filming went on, it was like he continued to do things to tempt her and he would look hotter and hotter each time she laid eyes on him. As she kept thinking about him, the more she wanted to be alone with him. He looked so hot in that suit, a few minutes to make out wouldn’t be that bad.

So, when she made eye contact with him, she gave him a look. ‘Changed my mind. Let’s go.’
Pleased to see her coming to her senses and having his way, Jungkook nods and walks past her, away from the staff and camera equipment. Jen waited for about a minute before she slipped away from everyone’s eyes to go find him.

Walking past hallways, looking left and right she couldn’t find him anywhere until she sees him waiting for her against the wall.

Grabbing him by his jacket, she pulls him close as his mouth goes on hers. Pressing up against him on the wall, she deepens their kiss, unbuttoning the button of his jacket. Things began to get frisky between them as their hands were all over each other. Jen didn’t even notice her bun being taken out, letting her hair down.

Shaking her head, she pulls away. “Okay, should we really be doing this while we’re supposed to film a commercial?”

“Yes.” he leans back in to smooch her but then she pulls back.

“What if we get caught?”

“We won’t. Relax baby girl.” he grabs her back as his hands roam down her body. Walking forward he now presses her against the wall. “Been wanting to kiss you all day, I know you do too so let’s just stop talking. Five minutes won’t hurt.”

She yelps while jumping suddenly when he gave her butt a squeeze. “Would you behave?” she laughs, pulling him back in for a heated kiss. “Ever since we started dating, you’ve been so touchy. Especially with my ass. So, is there something you want to tell me?”

He smiles sheepishly in response and pulls her back in for a kiss while she runs her hands through his hair. His lips then slowly roam down to her neck, making her breath hitch.

“Ju-“ she bites her lip from letting out a sound. Gosh, this was so scandalous to her but she didn’t want to stop.

Her hormones were out of whack as he lifted her up, making her wrap her legs around him. She even felt something poke her but didn’t pay it any mind, just wanting his lips on hers.
The sound of someone clearing their throat makes her jump down and get away from Jungkook as they both turn to the source. It so happened to be Namjoon, looking amused while they try to fix their hair and clothes.

He lets out a laugh, “We need you guys for filming. And next time just let me know and I’ll find a way to let you two have some alone time. Better for it to be me catching you than Jin. You know how he is.” he walks away.

Jungkook smiles apologetically to Jennie as she sighs and slides down on the wall, kneeling. She gestured him to go on ahead, making Jungkook run after Namjoon, catching up to him.

“H-hyung are you going to tell anyone about this?”

“About what?” he asks, shrugging. “Just be more discrete next time and any questions you have once you two get a little more serious, I’m here. And go to the bathroom to take care of that.” he gestures to his arousal in his pants, flustering Jungkook. “It happens to the best of us. That right there will only happen more often as you two continue like this. Only a matter of time when she witnesses it, too. When you’re ready let me know and we’ll talk.”

He pats Jungkook on the back and walks past him.

For Yoongi’s birthday, Jennie posted a goofy photo of him and tweeted, ‘Happy birthday to my napping partner, Suga! Can’t wait for our nap today! #Jen’

Yoongi replied a few hours later, ‘Delete this. #Suga’

‘HAHAHA! Nope! #Jen’

‘I am going to destroy every single pack of smarties you have. #Suga’

‘I wish you would. I will destroy you. #Jen’

‘…I’m finding a new napping partner. We’re not napping together anymore. #Suga’

‘You breaking up with ME!? You can’t replace someone as cute and cuddly as me, my dude! #Jen’

‘Oh yes, I can. I choose ARMY to nap with instead. #Suga’

‘#BODIED! KEKEKEKEEKEKEKEKE #Jimin’

‘STFU Jimin! #Jen’

Later that day, she chose today to bake cakes for both him and Hobi since she didn’t have the time to bake for him on his birthday. She told them the cakes were only for them and that they didn’t need to share. Needless to say, the members didn’t take too kindly to that and were jealous that they were eating Jen’s baking.

The next day, Jen makes her way to the kitchen sink with her items to wash her hair, grumbling, “I really do not feel like messing with this, today…”

It was one of those lazy days.

All she wanted to do was watch Marvel movies with her man when he came back to the dorm and stay in bed for the rest of the day. But no, she really needed to wash her hair.
Part of her wanted to wait until tomorrow to do it, but the other part of her thought it would be a good idea to just get it over with now so she wouldn’t have to worry about it in the morning. Besides, she already didn’t feel like washing it yesterday. She shouldn’t put it off any longer.

As she dreadfully started to begin lathering her hair, she found herself getting frustrated as she progressed. Her arms and hands were aching from that last dance practice Bangtan had and massaging herself didn’t really help.

She was alone in the dorm. As far as she knows, she had no idea what majority of the guys were doing today but she did know that the Maknae Line had gone bowling. Her mind wandered to Jungkook as she couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

He really made her happy.

Snapping back to reality, her annoyance crept up on her again as she continued to wash her hair thoroughly. While she was complaining to herself about it, she heard the front door close.

“Who walked in?” she calls out after turning off the sink.

“It’s me!” a bright voice filled her ears.

Jungkook.

His voice gave her butterflies in her stomach as she beams, “Jungkook, I’m happy you’re here! Oh my God, can you do me a huge favor?”

When Jungkook had walked in the dorm, he had heard her cutely complain about her hair, immediately noticing that she was in the kitchen.

Once he strolled near the kitchen, he saw that she was wearing a pair of her pajama shorts and one of his many white shirts, which made him smile. Looking at her wearing his clothes gave him a confirmation that she was his and he was looking forward to seeing her wear more of his clothes.

“What do you need?”

“I really do not feel like doing this, could you wash my hair for me? Please?” she asks with a laugh.

“It’ll cost you.” he teases, taking a page out of her book since she always says that to him when he asks for things.

“Don’t play with me! Please?” she exclaims.

“What do I get in return?”

“Like Homer says in The Simpsons Hit & Run, I’ll pay you in backrubs.”

“I do like your massages.” he contemplates in a teasing manner. “But no deal.”

“What?! No deal? After all, we been through?”

A giggle escaped his lips, “I just wanted to see your reaction. Of course, I’ll have one of your famous massages.”

“You know what? You’re a little shit sometimes.”

“I love you, too.” he starts washing her hair. Jen felt a sense of relief as he took over, letting her aching arms rest.

“Kook, why are you so gentle?” she calls out as she felt his hands softly scrubbing her scalp.

“I like being gentle with you.”

“You can get a little rougher than that,” she reassures.

“I-I don’t wanna hurt you.”

“Kookie, I am not tender headed.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, now use them hands.”

“Okay.” he fulfills her request.

“That feels so good. Keep doing that.” she sighs in content.

After rinsing out her hair, he applies another coat of shampoo to make sure he washed it properly as he began to hum. His humming always gave her a sense of serenity.

“What are you doing, now?” she calls out as he starts to make random hairstyles with her sudsy hair. He didn’t answer as he began giggling repeatedly. “Cut it out!” she laughs with him.

After playing around, conditioner was applied to her hair and she let it sit in for a while. Rising and turning around from the sink, she puts her hair in a bun and leaves her hair alone.

“So, how was bowling with Jimin and Tae?” she asks, taking a good look at him. That bunny smile was still plastered on his face.

“You should’ve gone with us! They kept teasing me about you…” Jungkook crosses his arms, plotting revenge on his hyungs.

“Wow, that is so ironic. They were the ones that got us together and now they do this? They are so aggy. I’ll go bowling with you next time. So, who won the game?”

“Yours truly.” he confidently announces.

“Aw, really?” she responds with fake disappointment. “Darn, I was rooting for Tae this time.”

“Yah! You’re supposed to be rooting for your golden boyfriend! Not hyung!”

“Really? Who said that?” she teases. She got a kick out of him acting shooked from her constant teasing as she couldn’t help but laugh. “Anything goofy happen?”

“Oh, of course! Jimin Hyung never hit the pins and kept missing them. It was hilarious.”

Jennie immediately started laughing with Jungkook as she thought about the visual of Jimin whining and yelling about the game.

“He can’t catch a break.”

“We should actually have a bowling date for white day. You think that would be fun?” he suggests.

“That would be fun! Yes, let’s do that.”

After a few minutes, she heads back to the sink. “All right, can you start combing it for me?” she requests as Jungkook grabs the comb.

“Start from the bottom and work my way up, right?”

“I love how you learn quickly.” she proudly replies as he gets started, feeling good about himself.

After they were done, she stands away from the sink and he dries her hair with a soft towel. Once removing the towel from her head, he smiles softly and moves some strands of damp hair from her face with his fingertips.

Opening her eyes, her face began to warm up. “Stop…” she chuckles nervously, averting her eyes.

It is still taking her a while to get used to him staring at her so lovingly like this. The way he looks at her was something that will always make her feel special.

Placing the towel on the counter, Jungkook couldn’t help himself as he closed the gap between them for a gentle kiss. Cupping his face as she felt his arms wrap around her, she deepens the kiss while Jungkook walks her back against the nearest counter.

A thought in the back of their minds was a prayer that none of the members were returning to the dorm anytime soon so they could continue this moment. Before Jen knew it, she found herself sitting on top of the counter after he easily lifted her up.

Pulling away so they could breathe, Jungkook laughs a little with a shy smile. “I haven’t kissed you all day, so I kinda got carried away.”

“I’m not complaining. You’re so affectionate when we’re alone. I highkey like that.”

She did love how he was the most affectionate towards her when they were in private. He wasn’t as shy as he would be in public. She could tell that he wanted to do more with her but they were living with six other people, so alone time wasn’t often for the two. She wondered if she’ll be prepared on how he will act when they’re alone once their relationship gets more serious. What happened during their alone time filming that commercial was just a preview.

This relationship stuff was still new to her but being with him made things so natural and pleasant. She was looking forward to how their relationship will progress as time goes on.

“What’s that J word that couples call each other here? I forgot the word,” she asks.

“Oh, Jagi?” he points out.

“Yeah, that’s it. I remember you called me that during filming.”

“Do you like it when I call you that?”

“Yeah, I do actually.”

He nods. “Good. Me too. I want to start calling you jagi more. And actually, once in a while, I also want to start calling you yeobo.”

“Yeobo? What does that word mean? Educate me.” she requests. Once he told her the meaning of the word, her face felt flushed. “Oh. Oh wow.” she lets out a shy giggle.

A soft smirk came across the Golden Maknae’s features as he watched her. “It’s nice to see you being the nervous one this time instead of me when I’m around you. You’re cute when you’re like this.”

“I feel like you do this on purpose,” she says, jumping off the counter as she finishes moisturizing her hair. Deciding to let it air dry for now, she places her hair in a bun, choosing to do it later. “So, what should I call you?”

“Iron Kook? Your manly boyfriend?”

“Goodbye.” she starts walking away.

Laughing, he wraps his arms from behind her, hugging her. He then places sweet kisses on her cheek, causing her to giggle.

“Are we going to finish those Marvel movies?” he murmurs in her ear.

“Yes! I’ll set things up in my room. Take your shower.” She gets released.

After he left, she goes to set the movies up on her laptop while plugging in the HDMI cord to the TV. Popping popcorn and setting the big bowl in her room, Jungkook finished his shower and laid with her as they finish checking out Ant Man.

Once the movie was over, Jennie noticed that there was something on Jungkook’s mind.
“Okay, what’s wrong? There’s something that’s bothering you.” she sits up and looks down at his laid out body next to her.

“Sorry, it’s just that…I hope that I’m good enough to be your boyfriend and I hope that you won’t get bored of me or something. I want to act like an adult and be manly for you but it bothers me because I feel like I could do better.”

“Okay. Let’s talk.” she places her legs on each side of his, straddling him, mainly sitting on his thighs. Her sudden actions took him aback as a blush began to appear on his face.
Looking down at him, she speaks, “Jeon Jungkook, I want you to get those doubts out your mind, asap, all right? You don’t need to change who you are for me or anything. I love you for you. I don’t want you to feel like you aren’t good enough for me because you think that you should act manlier or something. You were always manly to me. I’m not going anywhere so don’t think too much about those doubts in your head. Erase them.”

Jungkook stares up at her in awe as she continued to express how she felt, “One of the reasons why I love you is because, well, you’re you, as basic as that may sound. Your childish antics, I love that and so much more. I always can count on you to listen to me rant about the most absurd things that are going on, too. You’re so good to me and make me feel so special. I’m very lucky to have you. So, no more of these thoughts. You’re fine, Kookie. You are more than enough.” she smiles softly.

Those words made Jungkook feel good about himself as he took them to heart, feeling more confident.

“I’m yours, remember?” she reminds him as a big smile came across his features.

“Yeah. You’re mine.”

“Good.” she leans down to give him a soft kiss. When she starts to get off him, he grabs her hips to keep her there. Sitting up, he gets close to her face.

“Thank you.”

Jen responds by grabbing his face, gently pulling it closer to hers for another kiss that deepened quickly while running her fingers softly through his damp hair. Just as he gently grips her hips, they hear loud voices entering the dorm, signaling that Jimin and Taehyung were back.

Breaking the kiss, Jungkook lets out a sigh as she gets off him. “I wish they would have stayed out longer,” he complains and lays back down.

“Yeah, our alone time was nice when it lasted.”


When White Day came around, JenKook managed to go out to have a bowling date privately and away from the public. Jungkook had planned everything out, talking to Sejin to get to OK and kept in touch with him and Jin (of course) to know their whereabouts. Jin offered to go with them to supervise them but thankfully Sejin took over and stayed a nice distance for them to have their alone time while keeping them safe.

The couple wore black masks on their faces in the bowling alley and received their bowling shoes. Jungkook also wore a beanie on top of his head

“Okay~! Wow, bowling shoe ugly.” she examines the bowling shoes on her feet while sitting next to Jungkook who was tying his shoes.

“They are pretty weird looking.” He laughs.

“Nikes are better.”

“Still persistent with them huh?”

“Oh, absolutely.”

“I’m glad you are. One day they’ll have you endorse them. Don’t give up on it.”

“I won’t. So, can you teach me some of your techniques since you keep getting strikes left and right when you bowl?” she stands up with him.

Smiling behind his mask, he nods. “Sure. Come on. It’s easy.” He gently grabs her hand and walks up to the game screen.

“To you. I don’t have that luck. I get a few strikes here and there but you, is there anything you can’t do?”

“Not quite sure. I am called the Golden Maknae after all.”

“Don’t push it.” She shares a laugh with him. “I’ll put Munchkin for my name.”

“I’ll put Jeon Cena.”

She cackles at the name. Ever since ISAC, fans been calling him that due to his strength. It was hilarious and suited him well.

“Can we use the jawn where it won’t go in the gutter, trapping the ball so it’s easier to hit the pins?”

“Nope. You’re playing the real way, not using that to help. Grab a ball. We’ll do a few practice shots.”

Sighing, she confirms the game and goes to grab a ball. It was heavier than what she uses so she chose a lighter one instead.

“Okay.” he goes behind her while they look at the pins. “Relax…keep a firm grip.”

Jungkook really liked moments like this. Her asking for his help especially with something he loves like bowling. This was going to be a fun outing.

When she rolls the ball down the lane, Jungkook joins her in watching the ball until it hits most of the pins down, leaving three left. A happy giggle escaped her, making him think of how adorable she sounded.

“Not bad!” he praises. “You can definitely get a spare from this. This time let’s release the ball in an angle.” He demonstrates from behind as she tries to copy his movements. Tossing the ball, she manages to get a spare as she jumps up, fist pumping while Jungkook applauds.
“There you go!” he grins.

After a few more practice rounds, with her sometimes missing a few pins unable to get a strike they finally play. Jungkook, of course, kept getting back to back strikes which made Jen annoyed.

“This is ridiculous. Can you stop being good?”

He giggles at her complaining and sits back down while she stands up. Jungkook placed a hand in his pocket to touch the black velvet box, pondering about her white day gift. He was nervous about giving it to her. Taking his hand out his pocket, he thought of when he should give it to her. He tried to this morning but chickened out. He didn't know why he was so nervous.

“Yes!” she shouts, jumping up and down.

Getting out of his thoughts, Jungkook noticed that she had gotten a strike, which made him grin and stand up. “You got a strike!”

As the game went on, Jungkook won in the end and they played a second game. This time Jennie did better in this game and was close up to Jungkook a few times, which got him shooked.

‘I-is she going to beat me? I can’t let that happen.’ he thought as his competitive attitude rose. Some pins he would miss, which would make Jen snicker.

Before Jungkook stood up to get a ball once Jen sat down, his phone buzzed. Taking it out his pocket he saw that it was Jin trying to facetime.

“Oh Lord…here we go.” She says with amusement while Jungkook sighs, answering it.

“Yes, hyung?” he asks while Jen scoots closer to see the screen

“Are you safe? You’re not tongue kissing are you?” Jin asks.

“Hyung, we’re fine. Sejin hyung is around. You don’t need to call.”

“Oh yes, I do! No funny business. I am watching you kids.”

“Would you stop bothering them and hang up?” Yoongi complains in the background.

“Is that Jungkook and Jennie? HI! I hope you’re having a nice date!” Taehyung appears with his face close to the screen, making JenKook laugh.

“You said you were going to make our food! Get off the phone!” Jimin whines, grabbing the phone. “Bye! Have fun!” he ends the call.

“Goofy,” she replies.

After finishing their second game with Jungkook winning by only a few points, they went to play some of the arcade games sitting around. Jen was proud to be able to kick his ass in Pac Man and taught him some strategies to win. Then, they took some cute photos in a photo booth.

One photo consisted of him being silly, smiling meme like while getting close to her face as she tries to ignore him. She couldn’t help but laugh and the booth snapped the photo, making it look candid and it so happened to be her favorite.

After their date, they were dropped off back at the dorm. Grabbing her keys, Jen was about to put it in the door until Jungkook gently grabs her forearm.

“What’s up?” she turns around.

“U-uh, I have something for you.” he smiles awkwardly, putting his hand in his pocket.

“Oh, you do? What is it?”

Nervously, he pulls out a small black velvet box, making her part her lips. Taking it, she looks at the box then back at him as he smiles shyly, gesturing for her to open it.

When she opens the lid, her breath was taken out her when she saw that it was a ring. And it looked similar to Iron Man’s Arc Reactor with pretty jewels around it.

“Kook…”

He rubs the back of his neck. “I-I have a matching one.” He shows off his black ring with an iron man symbol on it. “And it has your name engraved on mine. With your ring it has mine. Ev-every time you see it, you can think of me.”

Jen was so speechless at the ring, she couldn’t even say anything which made him worry.
“Do you like it?” he nervously asks, face pink.

“I love it! Look at this!?” she takes it out and places it on her finger. Giving him a smooch, she pulls him in for a tight hug, making him stumble. With his arms tightly around her waist, he pulls her close, delighted that she likes it.

“And it was the right size?” he pulls away.

She nods. “Absolutely, perfect fit.”

He grabs her hand and takes a good look at the ring, nodding in approval. “Perfect.”
When they walked in the dorm, they caught Jin speed walking away from the door, giving it away that he was spying on them.

“Really hyung?” Jungkook laughs.

“What? What did I do?” Jin asks innocently.

When they went to her room, they decided to play video games, taking turns playing Dark Souls 3. A loud rumble of thunder was heard around the dorm as Jennie watched Jungkook game. The sudden sound made her jump slightly, while Jungkook wasn’t affected by it. They managed to beat the storm and just dealt with some moderate rain when they left the bowling alley.

“Hey, the storm is getting pretty bad. You think we should turn the game off before the lights go out?” she asks.

“After this battle, I want to get through! Come on, I’m almost there and then we can save it.”
“Let’s save the game now.”

“After this!”

“Kook-”

“Honey, let me just finish this,” he whines.

Jen rolls her eyes. He was so hardheaded. As she continues to watch him, he, of course, did not save the game like he said he would and went into the next boss battle. And halfway through it, the electricity went out, just like she anticipated.

“NO!” Jungkook yells while they hear Hobi screaming in fright outside their room.

“Woooooooow. Let’s save the game, I said. Before the electricity goes out, I said. And what do you do? Continue playing and not save the game. All that hard work, gone. Now you gotta start all the way back again. Whew, how amazing is that?” she sarcastically says, over Jungkook’s loud whining.

She turns her flashlight on her phone and gets off her bed, looking around. They should have some stuff to help with the lighting. Leaving the room, she found Namjoon and Jin wandering around the cabinets and drawers to find what to help to bring light back in the dorms.

They then found stashes of candles and matches to prepare for situations like this. Bringing a few candles to her room, Jen starts lighting them up, placing them around. Jungkook looked at his surroundings, noticing that the place looked like some romantic scene from a movie.

"Ha. Never underestimate candles." she murmurs, satisfied with her work. Taking a seat on the bed with him, she asks, "This enough light?"

"Yeah. It's...perfect," he replies softly. They hear a whimper and see Tony running right to Jennie’s feet. “Hey, hey, what’s wrong, boy?”

Tony jumps on the bed, going right to her lap, shaking. Concerned, she begins petting him softly, trying to soothe him. “It’s okay, it’s okay. I guess you don’t like thunderstorms, huh?”
Jungkook watches her nurture him as his eyes soften to see how gentle she was with him. He then begins to comfort Tony too, petting him and scratching his ears.

“Let’s cuddle Tony to get his mind off the storm.”

“Good idea,” she replies as she picks the dog up. Jungkook moves back the covers and they both get under them, keeping Tony in the middle. Pulling the covers over them, Jungkook notices Tony beginning to snuggle into him.

BTS’ Jennie reportedly turns down big endorsement deal with Adidas

Articles from several K-Pop news sites wrote about it while Jen ignores another shitstorm of criticism from people. It seemed like haters love to give her crap about everything she does and it was ridiculous. She did not have the time to be dwelling over it.

Some on social media were divided on her decision. One half thought it was foolish to turn it down but the other half supports it because they know how much she truly wants to endorse her favorite brand.

She trended all over Twitter when it was announced while she remained unbothered, eating smarties and watching TV.

Meanwhile, on Twitter, K-Pop stans voiced their opinion,
‘The only endorsement queen wants is Nike! #LetJennieEndorseNike’
‘She should’ve taken the deal. Would have made a lot of money. Nike ain’t interested. Go for the next best thing Jennie. Don’t be stupid.’
‘She still persistent on that Nike deal?? Jen, girl, I love you but take the deal. It’s Nike’s loss if they don’t notice you, boo. Get that bag Adidas offered!’
‘BTS isn’t even that popular so why would Adidas or even NIKE for that matter be interested in her of all people? Makes no sense.’
‘We stan a loyal queen! Give her Nike!’
‘I can’t see someone like Jennie endorse Nike. Why would they want her? She doesn’t have the IT factor’
‘#JennieXNike will happen one day! Don’t give up Jennie!’
‘What if Nike lowkey does want her and so did Adidas but Adidas went to Big Hit first to make a huge money offer to see if she would take it?’
‘Guys…don’t panic. I feel like Nike is lowkey keeping their eyes on Jennie! Jen is being smart here by not taking that offer’
‘Nike, please notice Jennie! She loves your brand so much! You won’t regret your decision to sign her. She will bring in so many sales with her passion alone for your brand!’
‘Even though they’re not following her, I bet Nike is watching her very closely’
‘Jennie deserves to endorse Nike. Watch all these videos from predebut of BTS and even from her Amity days of her talking about wanting to endorse for Nike!’
‘Adidas is better than Nike! Jennie you just set yourself up for failure. Nike ain’t that great. TAKE THE DEAL!’
‘I don’t get why you would reject that endorsement. You can’t be that stupid’
‘If she endorses Nike and leaves Puma, she’s a traitor. Just stay in your lane with Puma and be grateful.’
‘I love that Jen is staying loyal to Nike. She still wants that endorsement after all these years. Not a lot of people would do this but Jennie, we support you! #NikeXJennie’
‘She could’ve gotten a lot of money with that deal…’
‘TBH, I think she’s cocky, acting high and mighty by rejecting endorsements because she wants to endorse Nike. The brand isn’t interested so move on’

Those thinking that she was arrogant and cocky about it were proved wrong when Adidas issued a statement of how they respected her decision and she had been nothing but happy and appreciative about their offer. And she was even tempted to take the deal but she went with her heart and decided not to go through with it.

She remembered what she told them,
“Oh my gosh…wow! I am so honored. Truly honored that you want me of all people to endorse your brand. This is truly amazing and I’m still shooked. But after thinking long and hard about it…I can’t accept this deal. There is another company that I want to endorse from if I can. If I endorse another company, I wouldn’t be as passionate about it as I would be for Nike. Yes, this is a big money offer when you tried to negotiate with me but I…I can’t accept it. Thank you for the offer but I want to politely decline.”

She then thought of her conversation with Bang PD,

“Are you absolutely sure? This is the second endorsement you turned down,” he says

“Yes. I’m sorry but I really want Nike. And if I gotta keep waiting, I will. I know one day it’ll come. I don’t want to rush this blessing. Man, I bet you really wanted me to take that offer, right? Brings in a lot of money. I’m sorry I let you down.”

He had told her that he was happy she was still determined. He loved how passionate she was about Nike and wanted to see things go through with her achieving that goal.
Whenever it’s tomorrow or in a couple years, Big Hit will find a way to get that endorsement.

To get her mind off things, she finally got a chance to hang with G-Dragon again at YG Entertainment, catching up on life. She wore a pair of high-waisted jeans along with a crop top with long sleeves while hanging with him in the practice room. She told him about the fire comeback which he happily smiled, listening keenly to her.

“You will be very successful. No doubt about it.”

“You really think so?” she asks. “I hope so.”

“I see a lot of potential in you. You just don’t see it yet like I do. But we’ll take it one day at a time. You’re getting there and growing each comeback. I have been watching your fancams. I wrote some notes down on what you should work on.” He takes out a notebook in his bag and hands it to her.

“You didn’t have to do this on your spare time.”

“You told me you want me to help you. I keep my word. And you’re very serious about this and you take the advice to heart to improve yourself. What I’m doing is working. I see improvement. So let’s continue improving.”

“Okay.” She smiles and reads his notes. The main thing he wanted her to focus on was the charisma, which she agreed.”

“Can you show me your choreography for fire? I want to watch you so I can see what you can improve on.”

“Okay.” She stands up and plugs in her phone to put on the song. He stands by the speaker while she stands in the middle of the dance floor. Pressing play, he watches her move.

“Stop.” he turns the music off, catching her off guard.

Already? Was she that bad?

“You’re not confident. You’re hesitating. Don’t do that, you’re better than that.” He points out, making her nod. “What do you hope to accomplish in this comeback?”

“That I’m not an afterthought,” she admits.

“Then do that. You have that power to show them you aren’t an afterthought. So, go harder and be comfortable in your own dancing. During some BTS songs I see that you let loose and people see that. So do that here too. Let that charisma ooze out. It will get people to stare at you and ask about you even if you are not the one singing. You can have that ability. You just need to own it.”

Understanding his words, he restarts the song and fiercely goes right into the choreography, making him nod.

“Better.” He calls out. Near the chorus after Jimin’s burn it up, he stops the music. “You’re in the front for the chorus?”

“Yeah.”

“Why not do something memorable when you move to the front.”

She thought about Taehyung and how cool he looked when he tossed his lollipop down and was in front for the chorus of War of Hormone. So, what could she do that would make people want to rewind back to her part?

“I got it.” She gets back into place.

After a few hours of working on what to improve, they chilled together, eating while she told him about Adidas wanting her to endorse their brand.

“You declined?” he asks.

“Yeah. Call me stupid but I still want to endorse Nike. I don’t even know how dispatch knew about me declining. Things just got blown out of proportion.”

“Whatever you set your mind to, do it. So if you want that Nike endorsement, then go for it. I bet they’re watching you right now, just waiting for the right time to ask you.”

“Ha! I wish.”

“I saw something that your fans posted. They caught Nike liking one of your photos of you wearing Nike gear and then the like wasn’t there anymore.”

“Stop lying.” she looks at him as her stomach drops. Quickly, she goes on twitter to type ‘Nike Jennie’ on the search tab and scrolled down until she found a popular tweet from a fan that said,

‘Nike IS watching Jennie! They liked her photo and then unliked it! They KNOW of her! So let’s be patient and not spam Nike about her.’

“Oh my gosh…” she exhales, feeling her heart race.

Will they actually ask her to endorse their brand one day? Could it have been a test to see if she would take Adidas’ deal?

“See? So just relax and don’t stress about it. Your time will come. For now, focus on your music. And nice ring by the way.” he points out the blue ring Jungkook gave her for White Day. “Very nice looking ring. Reminds me of Iron Man a bit.”

She laughs, “Thanks, it actually is a part of Iron Man. My boyfriend gave it to me on White Day.”

G-Dragon’s eyes widen. “Oh, really? Wow, who is the lucky man?”

“It’s Jungkook.” She shyly replies, letting out a soft chuckle while looking down. Mentioning his name gave her butterflies as she thought about him giving her the ring.

G-Dragon thought about Jungkook right away, remembering seeing him and Jennie in a few Bangtan videos together. He knew right away there was something going on, that Jungkook was crushing on her. It was nice to hear that they were together now.

“You’re in good hands.” G-Dragon guarantees.

That made her heart soar. “Thank you. I’ll tell him that.”

“Just be careful out there with the public.”

“Trust me, I will. Armies…I can’t even imagine what will happen if something leaks about us dating. After seeing what other couples went through, I just hope that doesn’t happen with us.”

“Agreed. And even be careful as you and Bangtan get more popular in the industry. There are going to be people trying to tear you down. Be prepared and just don’t forget who you are. Don’t let anyone change you. Especially your music.

Thinking about that made Jen think of Hailey. Her music is so much more different now than back when they were all friends in Amity. Her new music doesn’t suit her and the autotune is not needed because she already had a wonderful voice. She just needs to fix her attitude.

“I see big things for BTS.” He adds. “Continue to work hard and remain humble about everything. And be wary of Mnet as time goes on.”

“Oh, believe me. I remember your diss. And I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for so many people that helped me. Whenever our time is as we get more popular, I will never forget those that help me. Including you. Thank you for everything. I’m glad I spoke up and approached you.”

“I’m glad too. So…why not film us dancing to Bang Bang Bang and I’ll post it on V-Live later on today.”

“For real!?” her eyes brighten as she happily stands up. “I’ve been practicing! I’m gonna kill it this time. I remembered what you told me. And I improved on TOP’s part.”

He laughs, pleased by her reaction. “All right. Let’s get to it, girl.”

When Jen arrived back to the dorms, exhausted, she showers and then goes to take a nap to rest her body from working all day. A few hours into her nap, she was woken up by loud yelling as the BTS members rush into her room.

“Is this where you sneak off to!? You said you were going to the store!” Jin yells.

“Huh?” Jen asks sleepily and yells when she is dragged outta bed by Hobi and Jungkook, taking her covers with her. She is then dragged into the living room where the rest of the members were, as they yelled various questions.

Confused, Jen finally yells, “What the hell is going on!? Why are you yelling!?”

“G-Dragon!” the guys shout,

“What about him!?”

“Full explanation!” Namjoon shows her the photo that G-Dragon posted on Instagram.

He even tagged her in it, saying ‘You’re doing well. It was good to see you. Good luck with your comeback. #GDXJW’

The photo seemed to have gone viral very quickly as VIPs and Armies enjoyed their interaction and liked how they had some sort of father/daughter relationship. VIPs also praised Jennie because it was clear to them that she was serious about learning from him. And the fact that she personally asked him to be one of the people to help her with whatever involving music, was becoming quite a praise for her.

“And this!” Jimin shows her the V-live video of them dancing to Bang Bang Bang.

“You should’ve taken me.” Jungkook pokes the inside of his cheek, getting jealous that she is hanging out with a member of Big Bang.

Jen was shooked as she watched herself in the video. The way she was hyped up while lip syncing TOP’s part, making G-Dragon laugh as he watched proudly. How strong she rocked back and forth during the chorus.

‘Is that…me?’ she thought as she watched herself dance effortlessly with him. Her body just let go and she felt that stage presence just oozing out of her like he wanted.

“You danced with him and hung out with him for the day!?” Taehyung whines.

“I can’t believe you!” Yoongi adds.

“This is unacceptable. You just kicked us all to the curb! E-excuse me, are you listening young lady!?” Jin exclaims as he watches Jennie go back to sleep, ignoring them.

2016 has been insane so far when it came to breaking news. Minzy had left 2NE1 and Jennie could not wrap her head around it. She was in tears, freaking out when she saw them reunite at the MAMA Awards and now she’s leaving, leaving the group as a trio? It just wouldn’t be the same. She even tweeted herself listening to old 2NE1 songs with the caption, ‘Sad #Jen’

And then with Hyunseung leaving BEAST. Like everyone was leaving left and right. It was insane. But as she thought about it, she thought about herself with Amity when she left. How she felt to move on to something beneficial for her. So she put herself in their shoes because she knew what they went through and understood why. And she understood from the fans point of views to see a group member leave.

Was this how Amity fans felt when she left?

Finally filming and taking photos for their next comeback, Bangtan comes to Jeju Island for the jacket shooting. Jen wore an off shoulder yellow dress for the shooting.

“I love this dress, ain’t it cute?” she asks on camera, spinning around. “No, I have not dyed my hair yet. Don’t be too upset Army. It’ll happen one day. For this comeback I want to show a different side of Jennie, so stay tuned.”

She then takes photos also with a kite, which went successfully. Then they began the unit shoots. After Jungkook and Tae, Jen and Yoongi were up. “Aw, your freckles look so cute.” she points them out.

“Ah…thanks smartie.” He tries not to smile at her compliment. The wind kept blowing which made them shiver slightly. It was so cold but they got through it. They then took photos on the air balloon, standing back to back, as the camera gets every angle. After they got what they needed, YoonJen high fived each other and get out while Hobi gets in next, looking nervous.

“Scared?” she asks him.

“No, I am okay. This is fine.” he smiles nervously. But once he gets in, he starts making loud sound effects, causing her to laugh. “Whaaaaaaaaaaaa~ What if I’m blown away?”

“You’ll be fine~!” she reassures

Once it was her turn to get inside the air balloon with Jin, she had a blast, not afraid at all at being a little up in the air.

Once she was done, she checked out the photos, in love with how she posed.

Next up for the comeback was filming for the Young Forever MV in Jecheon airfield a few days later. Jen wore a long-sleeved white shirt exposing her shoulders and black pants. The members were told to show emotional acting for this as they walk around the maze.

For her part, she walks around with one of her hands touching the steel fence. Then, while looking around, white feathers blow past her ethereally.

Once her shots were complete, she sees Yoongi snapping photos of Jin and walks over to them.

“Oh, oh we doing a photoshoot? Okay!” Jen joins in, posing with Jin. “Let them know, a future worldwide handsome model is standing next to me. Don’t forget about us when you make it.”

Jin laughs, “I won’t, dear.”

For the fire music video, Jen expressed her excitement as the cameras were following her, dancing around.

“I am sooooo ready for this! I love this song and I cannot wait to film, it is going to be off the chain! I am telling you, y’all are not ready for this one!”

As the members walk in on the set for their party scene, Jen stands at a DJ booth, admiring the equipment.

‘DJ Jennie is here!’

“I just want to thank Big Hit for allowing me to DJ in a BTS music video, this is so exciting. Ahhh, this is heaven right here.” she fangirls.

“What’s this button do?” Jungkook asks, walking up to the booth as she demonstrates. “And this? This? That?” he goes on as she shows him.

While the set was still being prepared, Jennie was talking to the camera again, showing off her outfit which was just something to wear while she DJs.

“I got Suga’s three dolla’ chain on my neck. Comfortable looking white shirt, these sweats, my Nikes-oh my Nikes! Check them out I designed them. Made a little something!” she shows off the designs she made for fun which looked good.

There were so many extras for the party scene as Bangtan filmed performing fire until they got enough shots. And then they shot it again but this time with Jen at the booth. She was much more energetic for this comeback and it showed on camera, dancing around, flipping her hair all over the place, headbanging.

The guys took a break while Jen started her individual shots at the booth. They first filmed her turning to take a look at the DJ booth and then walked over to it. Examining it while running her fingers over the equipment, she gets a hold of the headphones and slowly places them around her neck.

After that shot, she was filmed at the booth, dancing around until it was her cue to sing with the camera panning to her.

Grabbing the mic, she starts, starting off powerfully, doing what G-Dragon told her, “Errbody throw yo’ hands in the air, we gettin’-“

“Hot! Hot! Hot! Hotter!” the rest of the members join in.

ssak da bultaewora bow wow wow

“Errbody throw yo’ hands in the air, we gettin’-”

“Hot! Hot! Hot! Hotter!”

ssak da bultaewora bow wow wow

Thinking of G-Dragon definitely helped out her individual shots as she even gave a mesmerizing stare at the camera that was sure to make Armies freak out.

Starting again, this time Taehyung was with her at the booth, giving the Taennie shippers their fix as they partied. Then the rest of the members joined her, jumping and fooling around. Jen even threw her hands up and down while going over her verse for the end of the song, making things even more fun.

“Yay!” she claps and jumps off the booth. “That was hot!”

Going to see her footage from an iPhone, she smiles at her performance. ‘That’s really me up there jamming, huh?’ she proudly thought.

The director praised her for her efforts and she went back to continue filming with the rest of the members on the stage. They even had Tae crowd surf. Jen could tell he was nervous and reassured her that it will be fine. Although the first attempt failed, he did much better the second time and it looked like he was having a blast.

Next was the members performing in an abandoned pool, performing the choreography. Even after one time of performing, they were all out of breath as the stylists fixed their makeup and hair.

When they worked on the dance again for the chorus, Jimin had missed his cue to dance and they had to start over while Jimin laughs and hugs Jungkook. But once they did it again it was successful. After that, Jin, Suga, V and Jungkook were able to leave since they were done for the day.

“Everyone gets to leave. I’m going to be the last one here. I have to film my little water dance.” Jen sighs on camera.

“Sucks to be you. I’m leaving soon~!” Jungkook teases while she rolls her eyes.

“Blah, blah, blah. Leave.” she playfully shoves him away, out of camera’s view. As she continued to talk about what was going on, Jungkook would butt in occasionally. “Go away!” she laughs and pushes him again.

After talking on camera, Jen waits as the staff members prepare the set for her, Hobi and Namjoon. With his things packed, Jungkook approaches Jennie again as he looks down at her with a smile. “I’m about to leave with hyung. You sure you don’t want me to stay with you?”

Jen shakes her head. “It’s okay. I’ll be fine. Go on ahead.”

Jungkook nods. “Tony and I will be waiting when you get back to the dorm. I love you.”

“I love you, too.” she tries to go for a kiss but couldn’t reach him. She tries again, standing on her toes but he playfully avoids her kiss by not leaning down, watching her struggle.

Frowning, she replies, “Wow, so you not going to give me a kiss goodbye?”

Laughing softly, he kneels slightly to wrap his arms around her and lifts her up. Now she was the one looking down at him as her heart raced. He then gives her what she wanted while she leans down, pressing her soft lips on his.

Taehyung quickly takes out his phone to start filming them as a big smile was on his face.

“Jungkook! Let’s go!” Jin yells.

Yoongi walks with him and then spots Jungkook with Jennie. “Good Lord…these kids.”

“What is taking so long-PUT HER DOWN!” Jin yelps while the 95 Liners cackle at him freaking out. Before Jin could march over to them, Jimin made the save by jumping on his back to distract him.

Meanwhile, JenKook tuned out what was happening around them as they kissed repeatedly, short and sweetly.

“Ahem!” the director clears his throat on the megaphone. “Can we please have Jennie-ah on the set, Jungkook-ah?”

Reality hit the 97 Liners and Jen was slowly set down. The two let out a laugh while one of the makeup staff members pulled Jen away from Jungkook to fix her hair and makeup.

While Jimin is filming his individual scene, Jennie changed into her other attire for fire which was a pair of jean shorts, a black dragon crop top along with a dragon theme bomber jacket. She also had a secret tattoo of a dragon which was placed around her left inner thigh along with a thigh chain on her right thigh.

“Nini! You’re going to be the last one out of here.” Namjoon pulls her in for a hug while she sighs loudly.

“Why is everyone so happy they get to leave before me? Don’t rub it in. You excited?”

“Yeah, I am. Been a while since we did something together in a music video. So, remind me, are you keen?”

“Fresh and keen, numba one chick when I step out on the scene.” she quotes, putting her twist on the Pussycat Doll’s song, making him laugh. “I had that song in my head all day today. I blame shuffle. I was playing throwbacks on our way over here to film.”

Starting off the scene, Jen and Namjoon coolly stand next to each other as she goes first, adjusting the cap on her head

“Aye, live it up, Bangtan just exploded on the scene.”

Hey, burn it up jeonbu da taeul geot gachi

“Aye, shout it out! I’m turnt up, it’s okay, I’m keen~”

Hey, turn it up saebyeogi da gal ttaekkaji

With J-Hope walking through the door while a fire was in the background, he meets up with the two, dancing around.

geu malhaneun neon mwon sujeogillae
sujeosujeo georyeo nan saraminde

Standing in between them, they shout, raising a hand up, “So what~!”

Standing a little in front of them while they stand next to her, Jen shows off a little attitude while going over her verse,

“Calling us extra yet you still want to hang. Bang to the tan, you wanna join this gang. Keep your eyes on me, I am still that chick!” she slaps her chest before pointing to the camera. “Don’t you stand too close, what, you think you slick? Admit we the shhh as we tear it down!”
When she said shhh, Rapmon and J-Hope dramatically turned to her while she placed up a finger to her lips.

“BTS is the flame they wanna water down! Bangtan is still here and we killin’ it still. We always start the fire, you just a fire drill!” she smirks, shoving the camera away with her hand.

The three did the scene a few more times to make sure to get many shots. They even had NamJen back to back as they said their verse. Namjoon would look at her a few times, nodding before looking back at the camera.

“Okay, good job.” The director praises.

“It’s over! It’s over!” Hobi cheers.

“I’m still here~!” Jen dramatically drops to her knees, making Hobi and Namjoon laugh.

Despite it being late and her being the last one here, she still remained professional and went through with it, not giving anyone problems. She wanted these scenes to be great and she will do whatever she can to show how hard she’s worked.

As she walked on the set, the background was black and with water coming down them the ceiling and there was a large pool of water for her to step into that was up to her ankles.

“I’m just glad the water is not cold.” She says, preparing herself.

Once the music hits, she went hard while being expressive about it. Wet hair flipping around, popping and locking, she had a blast. Things went well as they made her do the dance a few more times to get the shots they needed.

For the final scene, she just had to lip-sync the song while in the water, doing whatever she wanted.

“Okay! Jennie can go home.” the director says

Jen sighs out of relief, falling back, making a splash while making the staff laugh.

“Hallelujah!” she shouts.

For the second day of filming for their music video, after it rained in the morning, the members gathered around for their groupset. Jennie yawns loudly, making Jungkook, Namjoon and Jimin mock her.

“Four hours of sleep. Four. Living the dream” she replies.

After filming the first scene of them talking and Yoongi shakes hands with someone, setting them on fire, Jungkook rides a bike around the man on fire and then watches his bike on fire. Meanwhile, Jen was snacking on smarties until it was time for the group dance.

She unzips her bomber jacket so it can show off the black crop. Afterward, she goes with Jimin to practice the chorus of the choreography. He even gets in front of her a little bit while she periodically glances at him to make sure she got the moves right.

Standing in between Jin and V, she leans to the right with the members.

Errbody say La la la la la

“La la la la la.”

Say La la la la la

“La la la la la.”

soneul deureo sorijilleo Burn it up

Walking up to stand in front, she flicks her nose with her thumb before tilting her head to the side.

Bultaoreune

Powerfully, she breaks out into the choreography, going hard. She wasn’t expecting to be the one to be in the front to start it off and she wanted to make a good impression. Seems like it paid off because the shot went well.

After being filmed watching the car drop down with everyone shooked at the scene, Jen had another solo scene in the same area Hobi and Yoongi were at night with a police car around. She starts her verse with the bat she had from the danger MV. Carefully standing on top of the car, she performed, whipping her hair around. She even kneeled while pointing at the camera, continuing to lip sync

“Jennie. Look at her go. She was not this expressive in the last music video. I’m surprised to see her so lively. She has been doing a great job so far.” Jimin watches her. “She is so cool.”

Then they had her laying on top of the hood of the car with her back against the windshield.
After doing the group dance again, Jen falls on her hands and knees, acting like Patrick from that one Spongebob episode as she begins dramatically coughly like him. The others were just as exhausted. Finally preparing one more time, they successfully finish the group dance with the backup dancers behind them.

The last scene had Jin across the table with Taehyung having an iron on him. The members surrounded him as they did their final scenes fooling around. Afterward, they walk outside to the camera, expressing how happy they were that they were finally done.

“The Fire MV is complete!” Jen announces, clapping with the members.

“Fire~!” Jin sings

“Feel the heat!” Yoongi butts in.

“Please enjoy the MV!” Jimin points.

“Go, Fire! Go BTS!” They wave goodbye.

The next morning, Jen heads into her studio to see a cute note from Jungkook on her desk telling her to have a good day. He even made a tiny drawing of a smiley face on the note. There was also a pack of smarties for her next to it. Smiling, she eats them while going back to writing how she felt about him.

Feeling a buzz in her pocket, she takes her phone out and looks at the caller ID, answering instantly. “It’s been a little while. Hey.”

“Wow. I’m surprised you picked up.”

Jen scoffs, “Of course I would. I’m not going to ignore you. How you been?”

“Happy. I wanted to tell you that I’m in Seoul, right now. Was wondering if I could come by to say hi. If you’re okay with it.”

Jen swings around in her chair, replying with no hesitation, “Stop by, Layla. I’ll send you the address.”
