She was confused. Shocked. Surprised to see that it wasn’t her name plastered on the news outlets. She may have even felt a little bit of relief if it had been her. Now, she is just numb. Hurt even. It is so laughable.
It didn’t even make sense to her. She’s never had to experience this in a relationship before, so how was she supposed to act? Nothing good would come out of this if her mind wandered, but she couldn’t help it. Couldn’t stop it. It had to be some misunderstanding. A lie. She wouldn’t accept anything less.
Jenn doesn’t even acknowledge her legs shaking intensely, nipping at her fingernails in a random meeting room in their company. The blinds are shut tightly and her chair squeaks with the movement of her legs. She’s rehearsing her words again and all of the anxiety that comes with it.
She had just gotten home from her morning run, finishing up her shower and getting dressed when her phone pinged multiple times. It was from the members' group chat with each other. She opened it, happy to see everyone being active. That was until she saw the article BamBam had sent and was pestering Youngjae about. She read it and her heart sank knowing that the members would find out about their relationship this way. They had only told a few select people. Then she could feel her brain begin to melt, thinking of all the ways the media would try to tear him apart. Degrade her. There was still enough time for her to truly comprehend the title before collapsing. It was not her name. It was not her name next to his. It was not her picture next to his. It wasn’t Jenn, but another woman.
She was never one to act irrationally, but her fingers were steps ahead of her before she could think clearly. She had sent Youngjae the article, asking him what the hell it was, what it was about. She asked him to meet up with her as soon as possible. He read her message, no reply. She assumed he was in agreement with her.
This is fake. He wouldn’t do that, it’s not in his nature. He said he loves me. Jenn wondered if she had been careless enough to let this get past her. Did it say they’ve been dating for a year? She hits herself in the head with her fist, cursing herself for even considering that Youngjae could ever cheat on her.
She hears the door knob turn, snapping her neck in its direction, standing to her feet and seeing Youngjae slip into the meeting room. He shuts the door behind him, locking it.
“Jenn…” He immediately notices the shock on her face and holds out his hands for her.
“I just need to know… just tell me it’s not true.” Her voice trembles with her hands clasped together.
“It’s not true. I don’t even know who got the idea or–“ He realizes the more he talks, it only makes her more fearful. “It’s just a groundless rumor.”
Youngjae grabs for her hands, holding them in his and noticing how shakey they are. “I promise, Jenn. It’s not real.”
She can’t meet his eyes, staring down at their hands. “I…I don’t care who you’ve dated in the past, just as long as it wasn’t when you were with me.”
He stiffens. “Do you think I’d intentionally hurt you like that?”
The coldness in his tone doesn’t go unnoticed. She holds her head high, finally meeting his gaze. “No! I don’t know–I just–I’ve been the center of articles like that before and they’re not always wrong. I don’t know what to think. That’s why I wanna hear it from you.”
Tears have pooled in her eyes now, close to tipping over. Jenn is scared that he thinks she might not trust him. She pulls away from him, stepping back and turning in the other direction. She’s picking at her lip with her fingers, hugging herself with her other arm. The tears make their way down her face, making sure he doesn’t see her cry more than he already has. Not over him.
Youngjae exhales loudly, running a hand through his hair and collecting his thoughts and keeping his frustrations under wraps. He makes his way behind her, wrapping his arms around her tightly.
Jenn’s bottom lip wobbles and she has to stop breathing to ensure he doesn’t see her falling apart.
“Jenn, it’s not true. I'm gonna make sure it’s clear that we’ve never been associated in that manner. We’ve never dated, we simply have just worked on music together. I promise you that.” He dips his head in between her shoulder, pressing his lips to the patch of skin exposed from her sweater.
He turns her body around to face him, trying to make eye contact with her. He tips her chin up with his fingers to see her pained expression, tears staining her flushed cheeks. It cuts him deep. She tries to look away, turning her head in every direction away from him until he finally cups her face in his hands. “Jenn.”
She grabs onto his wrists, eyes still closed because she can’t bear to see the disappointment on his face. His disappointment in her.
“Hey, look at me.” His thumb swipes tears away and he waits for her to open her eyes. Seconds pass until she opens them, the whites of her eyes red and her lips trembling. “The person I’m dating is you. The person I love is you. No one else.”
She squeezes his wrists, a sob finally escaping her. She leans forward, her forehead pressing into his chest. “I’m sorry.”
“You don’t have to be–“
“No, no, I’m so sorry! I’m just scared. It feels a thousand times worse to see another girl's name next to yours and not mine. It would’ve been okay if it was mine. I could have handled it. But someone else…”
“Do you trust me?” He lowers his head, his eyes trying to communicate with her if his words aren’t enough.
“Yes. I do,” She squeezes his wrists, nodding her head between his hands. “Do you trust me?”
“Of course I trust you.” He straightens his spine, leaning in to kiss her forehead and engulfing her in his arms. “People like us are just victims of false accusations like this. I’m sorry it had to be me.”
Jenn sobs once he says the last few words. Like it’s something he could have prevented. “It’s not your fault. Why did they have to pick on you?” Her words are muffled against his hoodie, hands squeezing the fabric.
He chuckles softly. “I guess I’m just an easy target. I’d rather it be me than you.”
She shakes her head, huffing at his humor. Not helping. She steps back, still holding onto his waist and collecting herself through sniffles. She lets go of him to wipe her eyes with her sleeves. “I’m sorry I reacted this way. I can’t stand there being a barrier between us, so please just talk to me when stuff like this happens.”
Youngjae pats her on the head a few times before brushing his fingers through her hair. He doesn’t know what else to say but that he’s sorry. So he pouts, nodding his head and whispering against her forehead. “I love you, Jenn. My only one.”
“I love you too.”

Break pt.2
elsy + chan
things aren’t looking good between the two and they only get worse from there.
first post of the year! hope you guys enjoy, and please feel free to leave some feedback because it is always appreciated. still not sure how long this series will be. also, requests are OPEN!
[8th member of got7/soloist]
Tumblr media
it had been a couple of weeks since the argument between chan and elsy. not one of them took the time to fix things, or even check up on each other. elsy felt chan was the one who needed to message first since she felt he was the cause of their argument. which is why she started to get more upset with him for not trying to call or message her. chan didn’t even try to fix things after she stormed off that day.
was this the end?
elsy most definitely didn’t want her relationship with chan to end. she loved him, he was her first real love and relationship and this was just the thing she was scared of the most. and probably the main reason she was ever scared of getting into a relationship. she didn’t want to lose chan again.
but elsy kept telling herself that this was just a rough patch that couples go through. no relationship was perfect, but she definitely thought her’s and chan’s was. maybe things will go back to normal soon, she thought.
now, the girl was sitting on her couch along with jaebeom as the two watched a movie together. elsy had told jaebeom everything between the couple. with jinyoung being away, she couldn’t go to him like she always did.
“he still loves me right?”
jaebeom rolled his eyes as he took a sip of his beer. he had heard the same question over and over again. “elsy, of course he does.” he answered once again. trying to sound more reassuring. “you guys just had a little discourse, it happens to a lot of relationships.”
“it’s just he hasn’t messaged or call-“
“he’s probably just getting his thoughts together. and when he does, he’ll come looking for you.”
“but does it really take more than a couple of days?”
“he seems very busy in group activities, els.”
elsy sighed as she threw her head back against her couch. all she could think about was chan. “maybe he doesn’t know how to balance being in a relationship and his job. the group got busier than ever.” jaebeom said.
and that he was right, which is why elsy felt a little bad for lashing out on chan for doing his work. elsy knew how much chan loved making new music, but she also was getting tired of constantly having to only be in the studio with him to spend time with him.
his words still replayed in elsy’s head. the girl still felt some type of way with chan’s words. the last thing she wanted was to feel like she was a distraction to chan or going in between him and his work. but hearing it come from chan himself made her think it was becoming true.
it also felt like a slap in the face when he mentioned that he was actually doing something with music unlike her. especially when chan knew the reason why she took a pause in making music.
elsy let out a sigh and jaebeom turned his attention to her. “it’ll be okay, els.” he reassured her again. “he’ll come around.”
“I hope you’re right.”
“when am I ever wrong?” jaebeom let out a chuckle, trying to lighten up the mood. as he took another sip of his beer, elsy snorted and pushed the beer bottle more up, causing the beverage to spill out and go onto jaebeom’s shirt. “oops!”
“damnit, jiyeon!” jaebeom groaned. “now my shirt is ruined.”
elsy continued to laugh. “sorry about that, if you want, you can put it in the washer and then dryer.”
that he did. jaebeom was quick to stand up and take his shirt off to put it in elsy’s washer. and as he was doing that, elsy heard her bell ring and quickly stood up to open her door.
she tugged down her oversized tee, “bang chan?”
“hi, els.” he bit the inside of his lip. “may I come in-“
“who’s here jiyeon?” jaebeom said as he entered back into the living room. the door was open wide enough for chan to see jaebeom behind elsy. his eyes wandered to jaebeom being shirtless and the oversized tee elsy had on.
“it’s bang chan.” she answered. “yes, you can come in.”
chan was a bit hesitant but did either way. jaebeom greeted chan with a smile but only chan greeted jaebeom with a half smile. elsy already knew something was bothering chan.
“I’ll leave you two alone.” jaebeom said as he walked away, going into elsy’s spare room.
“if I’d had known you had company I wouldn’t have stopped by.”
“well, you haven’t messaged me so of course you wouldn’t have known.” elsy said. there was a bit of annoyance in the tone of her voice, and chan quickly noticed it.
“you haven’t either.” chan replied.
“sorry, didn’t want to be more of a distraction to you.” elsy said blankly. “you know, since you have work to do and I don’t.” she repeated the words chan said towards her.
“lee jiyeon, you know that’s not what I meant!” elsy flinched from his sudden outburst.
“you still said it though, bang chan!” elsy yelled back. “so obviously it had to have meant something!”
“no, elsy. no, not at all!” chan exclaimed. “I just meant it as in I didn’t need any distractions at that moment- because I needed to finish-“
“so I am a distraction to you.” elsy snapped. “I just wanted one day! one day for us to actually be a couple and do other things, all we do is sit around in the studio as you work and I’m just there. bang chan, that’s not a date, that’s not anything! I don’t want to always do that, I just wanted for us to go back to how we did things, us going out!”
“elsy, I just can’t do those things at the moment, my schedule has been all over the place-“
“when my schedules were busy, I still made time for you. listen, if you’re not here to apologize chan, then I think you should go. because I cannot deal with another argument with you.” elsy felt her eyes getting watery.
but chan got more annoyed. “why are trying to kick me out so quickly?” chan arched an eyebrow. “something going on between you two that you don’t want me to know about?”
elsy was taken back from chan’s words, becoming confused to say the least as she stared at chan. “what?” she snapped. “and what the hell do you mean by that?” the girl was at lost for words.
chan swallowed hard, “you know what I mean.”
“are you implying that I’m cheating on you?! as if I’d ever sleep with jaebeom, chris. he’s my group member-“
“you did it with jinyoung, so it’s a little hard to believe you wouldn’t.”
chan couldn’t stop the words from coming out. elsy let out the biggest gasp ever that even jaebeom could hear. the tension was thick. elsy felt like she had gotten stabbed in the back. what’s worse was that it was chan who made her feel that way. she couldn’t believe chan had the nerve to say that to her.
“fuck you, bang chan.”
elsy’s eyes became more watery and chan’s mood had instantly changed in regret. “el-“
“no, fuck you!” she yelled. “fuck you, fuck you, fuck you!” she continued to say as she pushed chan back, tears falling down her face. chan grabbed elsy’s arms to stop her from pushing his chest. “you out of all people.” she cried. “you know how I got treated and you know what people said about me! only for you to be like the rest of them, and think of me like that. fuck you!”
“get out.” elsy snapped. “get out of my home. I don’t want to see you.” the girl went to open her apartment door, leading chan out.
“elsy-“
elsy shook her head, telling chan one last thing before she shut the door on his face.
“we’re done.”

Two ideas involving got7 8th. One, maybe something like 8th gets pretty sick and is taken care of by the other members. It's cliche but I have a massive soft spot for that kind of stuff. And also, just something talking about got7's dynamic with her members. It'd be interesting to read about.
Yugyeom was the most worried, believe it or not. The others told him that it was just a small cold. A little cough and you were fine, but he just had a bad feeling about it all. They all had someone- a family or at least friends that were kind of close by, but all you had was them, and he didn’t like the idea of you having to fend for yourself while they hung out. 
His instincts turned out to be proven right when he was flipping channels and got a call from the hospital. He had no idea that he was even on your list as an emergency contact, but it was a good thing he was. The first thing he did was rush there, calling the others. Due to restrictions, they couldn’t all rush to the hospital, so the others all settled for setting up your place for someone to stay with you for a while. 
“I told you, I’m fine!” you could be heard grumbling as you opened your front door. Jackson almost laughed as he heard the little argument you were having. The sight of them all in your living room only made you huff. “This is so dramatic, I’m fine.”
“You told us you were fine before and then had a fever so high you passed out and laid there until your neighbor got worried you weren’t answering her calls and called an ambulance,” Mark deadpanned. 
Jinyoung nodded. “Forgive us for just wanting to make sure you’re alright, we know that makes us the worst kind of criminal and hope you’ll find it in your heart somewhere to forgive us,” he smarted off as he grabbed your hand to help you sit down. You looked pale and absolutely worn out, but thankfully they all knew your diagnosis and could help. 
You wanted to argue some more but all the exertion was making the sight of them swim in front of you so you just nodded and let your body slump into the chair. “Fine.”
BamBam moved to check your temp again before holding out your prescribed medication and a glass of water. “Don’t give me that look, that pout only works on Jackson and Mark,” he raised an eyebrow. “You’re not getting out of this, now take them.” They all just cared and wanted to make sure you were alright. They love you, even if every step reminded them of trying to take care of a sick child..

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 44- He's Smitten
Tumblr media
Chapter Summary: Jungkook's white shirts go missing. Jen gets noticed by Baekhyun. Bam Bam finally meets Jennie at the Dream concert. Jennie and Jungkook go against each other for dodgeball at school. Jennie checks out Jungkook's English.
Words: 12,000+
Genre: Major Jungkook fluff! And Bam Bam fluff!
Author's Note: Another custom chapter after some BTS events! I really LOVE this chapter and the scenes between Jennie and Jungkook when they played dodgeball at school and ate together after school. One of my absolute favorite chapters I wrote! I love their growing friendship/feelings for each other.
--------
Jennie slept soundly, on top of Yoongi as they napped on the couch, in the living room. Her alarm on her phone began to ring once the time turned to 1:30 PM, causing them both to stir in their sleep. Reaching over to her phone, she shuts off the alarm and lets out a sigh.
“An hour didn’t go by that quick...” She tried to go back to sleep as she felt Yoongi’s chest rumble against her when he chuckled.
“Unfortunately, it did. Time to go to the studio.” His deep voice was filled with sleep as he began to stretch. Jennie looked at him as he ran a hand through his hair. “You wanna know somethin’?”
“What?”
“You look like shit.”
Used to his smart-ass remarks, she remained unfazed. “Oh? So, do you asshole.”
Yoongi let out another deep chuckle. “What? You want me to lie? Wow, you look beautiful this afternoon.”
“Wow, well you look quite handsome this afternoon.” She mocked. “And your breath stinks.”
Suddenly, Yoongi breathed out heavily so she could smell his stench. As soon as his bad breath hit her nose, she covered it and fell off the couch with a yell. 
“Ew! Not funny!” she cringed
“Was to me. Be ready in 20 so we can work on your cover.” He got off the couch to head to the bathroom. 
Today was the day Jennie would finish covering Baekhyun’s Beautiful from EXO Next Door. Already admiring him as a K-Pop idol, she wanted to sing one of his songs and the song was really, no pun intended, beautiful. The song was released on April 22nd, and as soon as she heard it, she immediately wanted to cover it. She low-key hoped that he’d even notice the cover.
Meanwhile, Jungkook searched around his room for his white shirts. They were suddenly missing. 
“What the heck is going on? I had them right here!” He started destroying the side of his room for his shirts.
Jen heard him muttering to himself in panic and decided to go into his room to see what was the problem. “You good?”
“No, I’m not! I can’t find any of my white shirts! They’re-they’re gone! All of them! ALL OF THEM!”
The Bangtan Girl stared at him like he was crazy. 
All this...over shirts?
“Whoa, whoa, slow down. You mean to tell me you can’t find none of your shirts?” She tried to get him to relax as she grabbed a hold of his arm, halting him from pacing.
“Nope! None of them!” He grabbed a hold of her shoulders. “You gotta help me. I need my white shirts, you know how much they mean to me. Help me, please.”
“I’m about to go to the studio. I can help you when I get back.” She suggested, getting out of his grip. “You’re probably overlooking. You sure it’s not in your laundry?”
Jungkook decided to go to his laundry basket and dump out all his dirty clothes. “Nope! Where are they!?” He yelled in frustration.
“What are you whining about?” Jimin approached him out of curiosity.
“Someone had to take them. This is a prank, isn’t it?” Jungkook finally figured it out.
“Take what?” Taehyung joined in.
“Someone took my white shirts!” The Golden Maknae whined and started to fake cry. 
Jimin immediately began laughing, which caused suspicion as Jungkook called him out. “It was you wasn’t it!?”
“I didn’t do anything!” Jimin giggled.
“Give them back!”
“Hahahah! It wasn’t me-hahahah!”
“Did you check the laundry room?” Taehyung suggested, trying not to giggle.
“If I find out that one of you messed with ALL my white shirts, there will be hell to pay.” He threatened them and left the room.
As soon as Jungkook left, Taehyung and Jimin started laughing. 
“Y’all did it, didn’t you?” Jennie assumed.
“We didn’t do anything, it’s just so funny to see him so worked up over white shirts.” Taehyung giggled loudly.
“I hope he finds them.” She let out a sigh.
“I hope he doesn’t for a while. I like seeing him panic.” Jimin added. “I wonder who decided to take them. Maybe Hobi?”
“We could go ask,” Tae suggested.
“Keep me posted on the madness. I have a song to cover.” She said her goodbyes after they wished her luck, anticipating her new recording.
When she headed to the studio, with her headphones in her ears, she was asked to sound softer and build her way up as the song progressed because, in some parts of the song, there wasn’t any build up the first few times she sang the song.
“Maybe if you think about a boy or ARMY, it could help with the emotion.” She was suggested as she nodded, taking in the advice. 
‘A boy, huh? Or ARMY?’ She pondered as her mind started to race with ideas. 
With her phone in her hand, having the lyrics on her notes app, she waits for the music to start again. Once the music was heard from her headphones, she starts off softly, bringing out a sad tone to the beginning of the song.
Annyeong naege dagawa
Sujubeun hyanggireul angyeo judeon
neo huimihan kkumsokeseo
Nuni busidorok banjjakyeosseo
Raising her pitch slightly to a hopeful tone, she continued softly. And as she sang the chorus, a smile came across her face as she maintained the hopeful tone of the song.
Neoui misoe naemaeumi noganaeryeo
Nuni majuchyeosseulttaen~
Dugeungeoryeooh~
Her held notes sounded angelic, and strong but not overpowering the beat of the song.
neoui gaseume nae misoreul gieokhaejwo
Haruedo myeotbeonssik~
Saenggakhaejwooh~
Neoege hago sipeun geu mal...You’re beautiful
“Fly to you naegyeote isseojwo...You’re beautiful...” She finished the song softly and opened her eyes as the last bit of the instrumental played out. 
“How’d I do?” She asked as she got pairs of thumbs ups in response, praising her efforts. “Ayeeeeee!”
After doing some finishing touches on the song, they post it on BTS’ SoundCloud.
‘Give it a listen! My fav has sung it so beautifully, that I just had to cover it! #JEN’ She tweets, posting the SoundCloud link of her new cover. 
She decided to post a photo of it on her Instagram as well with the caption, ‘I had to. #EXONextDoor’
ARMY came rushing in with the comments like there was no tomorrow.
‘This was so cute!’
‘QUEEN!’
‘MOM! I was about to go to sleep!’
‘Welp, I won’t be going to sleep anytime soon. I’m gonna be listening to this all night.’
‘Can you PLEASE do more covers? Your voice is so soothing’
‘Baekhyun needs to hear this!’
‘#DoMoreCoversJennie’
‘@baekhyunee_exo this is great!’
‘I lovvvvveeeee this! Yes Miss Bangtan!’
‘GOD I LOVE HER VOICE’
‘WIG IS SNATCHED’
‘I WASN’T PREPARED!’
‘@baekhyunee_exo listen to this!’
‘If you combine both Jen’s cover and the original song, you can hear how nicely their voices blend. Kudos to Jen’s harmonious vocals. It’s like she’s singing right next to him.’
On her way back to the dorm, she decided to check her Instagram and perceived that a certain someone noticed her cover as she almost dropped her phone. 
“He noticed!” She squealed after she read Baekhyun’s comment.
baekhyunee_exo: Well done :)
-------
On May 23rd, backstage at the Dream Concert, Jen finished getting her makeup done and told the members that she wanted to find her friends. Backstage was hectic, as the staff made sure everything was in order for the show. She managed not to get in anyone’s way as she spotted Jackson finishing up his conversation with one of the staff members.
“Jackson!” She happily waved, catching his attention. A huge smile came across his face as she jogged up to him, pulling him in for a hug.
“Jennie!” He picked her up and spun her around. She laughed at his enthusiasm before getting sat down on her feet. “My favorite American girl. How have you been? Congrats on I Need U.”
“Thank you! Everything is going well, I can’t complain. I’d be lying if I said that we weren’t tired but managing to get wins for I Need U is worth it. I’m so proud of our accomplishments so far.”
“I’m sure. You guys worked hard. I hear that J-Hope and Yugyeom will be dancing together.”
“Oh yeah, they’re gonna kill it. Super excited to see that and GOT7’s stage. Speaking of GOT7, are they free? I’d like to meet them.”
“Oh yeah! They’re very eager. I couldn’t stop talking about you, haha.”
“I hope it was positive things you told them about me.” She let out a laugh.
“Of course, I did. Come on, they’re in the dressing room.” He gestured for her to follow him. 
She was excited to meet them, they seemed like great guys to be buddies with. She did want more guy friends after meeting a bunch of girl idols.
“Hey, guys! Miss Bangtan is here!” Jackson announced as they walked into the dressing room. She waved at them in a friendly manner after hearing a chorus of hellos. In the room were Yugyeom, Youngjae, JR, Mark, and JB as they excitedly got into a conversation with her.
“I’m an avid listener of you guys. You’re always on my playlist.” She happily revealed.
“Thank you! What are your favorite songs?” JB asked with a smile.
“I love A, I even know the choreography for it.” She briefly demonstrated as they looked impressed.
“I think she should’ve been in GOT8.” JB laughed as the guys agreed.
“GOT8 sounds catchy. But GOT7 is way better. You guys are the experts in your dances. Other songs I like are Turn Up the Volume, Stop Stop It and Gimme. I’m looking forward to your next comeback.”
After briefly talking some more with the members, Jen noticed that there were only six of them. 
“I thought there were seven of you.” She looked around.
“Bam Bam.” Youngjae chuckled to himself, glancing at the members knowingly.
“He’s probably wandering around.” Jackson assumed.
“Ah, okay. I hope I can catch him later. I’ll see you guys around, it was nice meeting you.” She said her goodbyes and left.
“You think he’s gonna even want to meet her? He’s so nervous.” Mark pondered.
“He’s meeting her today. No ifs, ands, or buts. I’m tired of him just staring at her. He needs to man up and talk.” Jackson demanded.
As the show went underway, Jen stopped walking backstage when she heard an excited chorus of her name being called out. Two sets of arms wrapped around her as she was attacked with hugs from Jiyoon and Hyuna. 
“Oh geez.” She laughed as the rest of the 4Minute members joined in.
“We missed you!” Sohyun said after they released her.
“I missed you more! How have you ladies been? Oh my God, it’s been a while!” Jen gave them individual hugs.
“We’re doing great, we’re so excited to perform,” Hyuna answered.
“Y’all know I’ll be jamming out when you perform crazy and What’s your name. If you hear screaming, it may be me.” She joked.
As Jen talked with 4Minute, from afar, Bam Bam zoned out as he watched her, mesmerized.
There she was.
She was right there.
Tumblr media
So close yet so far, but he was still nervous to talk to her. He felt awkward about approaching her.
What would he say? How would she react?
‘Why is she so pretty?’ He thought with wonder. 
He thought her curly hair framed her face so well and brought out her beauty even more. What was it about her that always made his stomach fill with butterflies?
“You’re drooling.” Youngjae nudged him, causing him to get out of his zone. “Go talk to her.”
“She doesn’t bite, man. She’s very sweet.” JB added.
“You’ll get along just fine. Do I need to drag you to her?” Jackson suggested with a grin.
“Please no!” Bam Bam looked at him with horror. “I don’t even know what to say.”
“Say what’s on your mind?” Yugyeom suggested.
“So, tell her, Hi, I think you’re beautiful. I like you, can I be your boyfriend?” Bam Bam made one of his funny facial expressions as the members ended up laughing.
“That’s...a bit forward.” Jackson giggled.
“And why did you make that face?” JB shook his head.
“Wow, he’s still crushing on Miss Bangtan?” Mark asked in amazement.
“Uh huh. He’s smitten.” Jackson wiggled his eyebrows with a smirk.
“I am not!” Bam Bam exclaimed, feeling his face warm up.
“Remember how he was staring at her at the MAMA Awards? Lipsyncing whenever her verse came on? It was so cute.” JR gushed.
“Uh huh. And he’s still looking at her with heart eyes. It’s painfully obvious. But I don’t blame him. Jennie is very pretty-ow!” Youngjae winced once Bam Bam punched his arm, in retaliation. “So aggressive...” He rubbed his arm.
“Well, he gotta wait until the dating ban is over anyway. But at least introduce yourself and be friends with her. Start as friends then confess once the dating ban is over.” JB suggested.
“I’m too nervous, all right? What if she thinks I’m weird?” Bam Bam said with worry. 
He thought he could be a bit much with his goofy expressions and it may be a turn off for her.
Would she think he’s weird for how he acts around his friends? How he loves to dance to girl group songs, what would she think about that?
“Are you kidding me?” JR exclaimed. “If she can live with the Bangtan Boys, I’m pretty sure she can deal with you. Jennie will probably think you’re funny and cute. Be yourself.”
“I could’ve sworn she said that she loves when her ideal type is himself and not pretending to be someone else.” Mark thought about her speech on her ideal type, last year.
Jackson shook his head in annoyance. He had enough of his stalling. “That’s it.” He grabbed a hold of Bam Bam and started to walk towards Jennie.
“J-Jackson! No! What are you doing!?” He desperately tried to fight off his grip as he found himself getting closer to her.
No, he wasn’t ready.
He wasn’t ready to approach this girl.
He wasn’t ready to look at her in the eyes.
He wasn’t ready to get lost in them yet.
He wasn’t ready to blush and make a fool out of himself in front of her.
He needed more time.
“I’m tired of your bull, Bam Bam. You’re going to meet her.” Jackson had none of it as they got closer. “Jennie!” He happily shouted after she was left alone.
She turned to the two boys. “Hey, what up?”
“I wanted to introduce you to the seventh member that you didn’t get to meet. This is Bam Bam. Bam Bam, this is Jennie.” Jackson released him. 
Bam Bam cleared his throat and smiled shyly, giving her a brief wave.
“Finally! I was wondering where you were!” Her sudden statement caused Bam Bam to look surprised. “Were you hiding from me?” She teased with a smile.
‘Oh my God, her smile...how is she real?’ He thought, feeling himself get flustered. 
“N-nah, duty calls.” He replied. ‘Really Bam Bam? Duty calls? I sound so stupid.’ He mentally punched himself. 
”I agree, everything is so hectic. That’s the idol life.”
Bam Bam noticed that Jackson had left them alone as he swallowed nervously, meeting her friendly gaze.
“So, you rap?” She asked eagerly.
“Y-yeah. I rap in GOT7.”
“Wow, that’s dope. Yoongi is helping me learn how to rap. I’d love to rap one day. Maybe even be a part of the Rap Line in BTS.”
“I can see that happening. I could give you some tips...if you’re interested.” He suggested 
“That’s so sweet of you. I appreciate it.”
“D-did you like your get well basket?” He rubbed the back of his neck as her eyes lit up.
“That was you!?”
He smiled shyly and nodded. “I hope you liked the smarties.”
“Of course, I did! Thank you so much! Well, since I’m in front of you now, let me give you that kiss on the cheek.” She giggled as she pulled him in for a warm hug after placing her soft lips on his cheek. 
His eyes almost popped out at the sudden affection but he immediately wrapped his arms around her, enjoying the moment. He caught a whiff of her perfume. It had a fruity scent to it, and it suited her.
‘She is so huggable.’ He thought as he couldn’t keep the smitten smile off his face. 
So this was what it was like to have her in his arms. He was in heaven. Bam Bam didn't want to let her go as his mind started thinking about potential date ideas if he could have the courage to ask her out. 
The GOT7 members were watching his face with amusement and decided to snap a photo for future blackmail.
After she pulled away, she spoke, “You really didn’t have to do that for me. It was so kind of you. Thanks for caring even if we haven’t met during that time.”
“Anytime. You really worried me. I’m happy that you’re okay.”
“Aw, Bam Bam!” She was touched by his words.
‘The way she says my name.’ He gushed. It sounded so cute the way she said his name with cheerfulness.
“I gotta get back to the dressing room, but it was nice meeting you! I hope we get to see each other again, soon.”
“Likewise.”
She smiled and headed back inside the BTS dressing room while he went back to the members. 
“So, did you ask for her number?” Mark asked.
“I wanted to but it slipped my mind.” Bam Bam chuckled nervously. 
He was too busy staring anyway. Man was she stunning in person. Photos don't do her justice.
Jackson, however, wasn’t happy with his statement. “How else will you keep in touch?” He frowned, crossing his arms.
“Instagram?” Bam Bam shrugged.
“I would ask for her number if I were you,” JB advised.
“Oh yeah, show him the photo,” Yugyeom spoke up as JR showed him the photo of him grinning like an idiot as he hugged Jennie. “We’re keeping this for blackmail.”
“Why!? Delete that!” Bam Bam shouted.
“Maybe we should show Jennie, what do you guys think?” JB pondered.
“NO!” Bam Bam yelled, trying to grab ahold of the phone.
----
In the BTS dressing room, the members were dressed for their performance. Jennie napped on the floor with Yoongi, while Taehyung rested next to her. Hobi decided it was time to mess with the members and he went to disturb Jimin first while filming for a Bangtan Bomb. After messing with him, Hobi went straight to Yoongi and Jennie.
He filmed them, contemplating if he should mess with them but decided against it. 
“They’re sleeping too firmly. Last time I got beaten up by them with the others. It wasn’t pretty.” He laughed.
He decided to go after Taehyung instead, messing with his chin while making sound effects to one of the member’s iPhones that was ringing.
Jen kept hearing Hobi’s voice and contemplated if she should hit him so she could sleep in peace. As she opened her eyes, she saw him with a camera, messing with Tae. She glanced over at Yoongi, who had awakened, too.
Not good.
Tae looked over at the napping pair and glanced at Hobi, with fear, shocked that he woke them up.
“You’re really bothersome, doing this.” Tae sighed while Jennie shook her head at Hobi.
“Fuck off,” Yoongi spoke up, causing those around him to laugh.
“He-he cursed.” Hobi giggled.
After a long nap, Jen headed out and walked around until she saw Jiyoon, Gayoon and Sohyun in line for a shooting dart game.
“What’s all this?” Jennie looked around, noticing the spinning wheel and prizes around the staff members, deciding to get in line with them while others got behind her.
“Jiyoon wants the Hulk Buster,” Sohyun answered.
“Hulk Buster! Hulk Buster, please!” Jiyoon looked on, determined. She looked cute, acting like a kid for her Avengers.
“She really wants that Hulk Buster.” Jen laughed. “I hope she gets it.”
“Me too.”
“Oh my gosh is that a Captain America action figure!?” Jennie shouted, pointing it out with excitement. “I want it! I call dibs. It’s mine!”
“You like Captain America?”
“Oh yeah, I love him! Chris Evans is so cute!” She daydreamed, making Sohyun giggle. “He’s my favorite superhero. Just don’t tell Jungkook. He’s more of an Iron Man fan.”
“My lips are sealed.”
After Jiyoon’s failed attempt to get what she wanted, Jennie tried to shoot at the spinning wheel and failed too, winning kimchi flavored noodles. Jiyoon had won cereal and couldn’t hide her disappointment.
“Man, I really wanted that Captain America action figure. I could have it in my room for display.” Jen let out a sigh.
As she parted ways with Jiyoon and the others, Jen continued on her path to go back to the BTS dressing room.
“Finally, I found you!” She stopped in her tracks when she saw Chanyeol from EXO staring her way, smiling brightly.
‘Is he...talking to me? No way, there must be someone behind me.’ She looked back but didn't see anyone. 
“Are you talking to me?” She pointed to herself as he nodded happily and bowed as she did the same before looking up at his tall figure.
Jeesh, he was taller than she thought. But his bright smile made his height less intimidating as she felt at ease.
“Sorry if this is really random. I got really excited when I finally found you, hehehe.” He giggled shyly, covering his face. “I’m Chanyeol.”
“H-hi, I’m Jennie.” She felt her face warm up at the Happy Virus.
She always felt like EXO was untouchable and people she could never seem to approach. But Chanyeol seemed very eager and friendly to want to talk to her. 
She wondered why.
“Baekhyun has been looking for you. I decided to help him out. He’ll be thrilled to know that I found you.”
“Come again?” Her stomach dropped.
Baekhyun? 
Her bias? 
He was looking for her?
Her??
Miss Bangtan?
She wanted to faint right then and there.
“He’s very eager to meet you! He wanted to talk to you about your cover. Can I just say that you have done very well? I enjoyed listening to it. Baekhyun can’t stop talking about it. It has been driving some of the members bonkers, hehe.” He giggled.
“Are you serious? Gosh, thank you!” She couldn’t believe he said that. That was a huge confidence booster. 
To be praised by Chanyeol of all people. An SM artist. Just wow!
Chanyeol had given Baekhyun a quick text and they waited while having small talk until he walked up to them. Jen told him that she wanted to get the Captain America action figure but had failed, as he decided that he wanted to try out the game after Baekhyun arrived.
“Ah, there he is.” Chanyeol pointed him out and left them to talk.
“Hello!” Baekhyun smiled brightly. “It’s nice to finally meet you, Jennie!”
“Hi!” She managed to say, mesmerized that he was right in front of her. He grabbed her hands with his smile still plastered on his face. It seemed to have calmed her starstruck mind down as she returned his smile. “You’re one of my favorite idols. It’s an honor to finally meet you. I saw your comment on my Instagram, about my cover. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to listen to it. It really means the world to me that you, the original artist of the song, would listen to my cover.”
“It’s funny how it came about. Chanyeol had seen fans tagging his Instagram and mine on your photo and he brought it to my attention. We decided to sit down and listen to it. The first opening notes, Chanyeol couldn’t keep his jaw closed.” He chuckled at the memory as he released her hands.
“Seriously?” She covered her mouth in surprise. 
Now that was a plus, that she was able to do that. She needed to stop doubting the potential of her singing ability. There is much to improve, but this right here was a huge start.
“Uh huh. It was well done. How long did it take you?”
“I’ve worked on the song for a week. Due to my schedule, I didn’t have that much free time. I was already familiar with the song because I’d listened to it so many times and sung along in my room. The rearrangement was made in the studio, I worked on making sure the same emotion that you had was there for the song, while still making it my own and then I took it from there. I had a blast working on it.”
“I’m eager to hear more from you. I have always wondered what is it about me that you love so much. I would come across photos of your interviews or videos of you speaking so highly of me. It’s very touching. May I ask why?”
“Well, it’s not hard. Your vocals are so amazing. Like you have no idea how your vocals have made me want to step up my vocal skills. Every time I hear you sing, I am inspired to be able to sing so emotionally, so heavenly and have that much passion. I love watching you perform, too. Your voice and charisma blow me away. I’m learning a lot in this industry, been in BTS for three years and we are still growing musically. You along with many other idols are an inspiration for me.” She revealed in a genuine voice.
“Ah, you’re making me so flustered from the constant support you have for me.” He said eagerly. "Thank you, Jennie,"
He always enjoyed meeting new people and he enjoyed Jennie’s friendly, determined aura around her. Her voice went great with his song. If they were to sing together in the future, it would be a treat for fans for sure.
“I would love to sing with you, one day if you are interested. I’m continuing to improve my vocals so I can push for future collaborations with other idols.” She continued, hoping he would agree.
His smile got wider as he nodded eagerly. “I would love to collaborate with you and teach you a few vocal methods in the future. Whenever you’re ready, just let me know and we’ll work from there once our schedules aren’t in the way. I’m positive SM will agree to it.”
“Re-really!?”
“Really.” He confirmed.
“Thank you so much! Is it okay if I hug you?” She asked. 
He laughed at her excitement and nodded, bringing her in for a warm hug.
After their conversation, she asked for a selfie. He stood next to her, smiling sweetly while she grinned widely as they both put up finger hearts.
‘THIS HAPPENED! So happy to finally meet you! Thank you!’ She posted on Instagram and Twitter, causing EXO-Ls and ARMY to freak out.
--------
After BTS had performed, Bam Bam went out to find Jennie. The GOT7 members were watching him from afar, to see if he would do what he said he was going to do.
Ask for her number.
“You think he’s gonna do it?” Mark asked.
“He better do it,” Jackson demanded.
“I don’t think he has it in him. Watch him chicken out.” JB laughed.
“He better not.” Jackson huffed.
“There she goes.” Mark pointed her out.
Once Bam Bam saw Jennie, taking out her earpiece, and putting it around her neck, he let out a breath and approached her. He repeated everything that he wanted to say in his mind, confident that he wouldn’t be awkward.
Once she turned around and flashed him a smile, he tensed up as she spoke, “Hey, you! Long time no see! Great performance out there!”
“Th-thanks. You were great out there, too. I uh, wanted you to have this.” He presented his hands that were behind his back, revealing the Captain America action figure that she had wanted.
A loud gasp escaped her lips as she took a step back. She looked from the action figure to him, in astonishment as he started to chuckle softly, satisfied with her reaction. 
“No way! H-how did you manage to win this, oh my gosh!” She happily accepted it, examining it in awe. “My Captain America!”
“I was in line for the game and overheard you talking about it. I was aiming to try out the game, just for fun, but I decided why not try to get the action figure for you.”
“Bam Bam, you just made my night.” She pulled him in for another hug.
‘Two hugs in one night? I’m on a roll.’ He happily thought.
Jackson nodded in approval. “Damn, that was smooth.”
“Whipped~!” Youngjae announced as the members laughed with him while they continued to watch.
“How long did it take you to win this?” She asked after they pulled away.
“Three times.”
“Man. You really didn’t need to go through all that trouble for me. But who am I to complain? I got my Captain America!” She cheered.
“Jennie! Come on!” Jin had called her out from afar, wanting her back in the dressing room.
“Gotta go, but thank you again, Bam Bam.”
“W-wait.” He grabbed a hold of her hand, making her turn back around. “I wanted to ask you something.”
“What’s up?”
“Can I-uh-can I get your number?” He stuttered out.
He hoped he wasn’t too forward or was giving her the wrong impression. He sincerely wanted to get to know her more. He liked her after all.
“Yeah, of course!” She took his phone and quickly typed in her number for him. “Here you go!”
“Sweet. Thank you. I’ll see you around, Jennie.”
“Definitely. I’m looking forward to getting to know you.” She headed back to meet up with Jin.
“He really had it in him,” Mark said in bewilderment.
“Should we start the ship name? BamJen?” Jackson suggested.
“When do you think he’ll text her?” Jinyoung asked as the members questioned the future of Bam Bam and Jen’s friendship.
------
The next day, Jungkook continued to freak out because he still couldn’t find his white shirts in the dorm.
Who would be so evil to take his precious shirts?
Who had the guts to do something like this and expect to get away with it?
“Okay, guys, this isn’t funny anymore, the prank is over, give me my damn shirts back!” He yelled from his room.
“Aish, you still can’t find them?” Namjoon shook his head.
“Damn it!” Jungkook slammed his hand against his opened door in frustration as he walked to the living room.
He was pissed.
This prank wasn’t funny anymore.
“They weren’t in the laundry?” Jin asked, calmly.
“No...” The Golden Maknae grumbled. “Can someone just tell me who did it? I haven’t worn any white shirts in weeks! Somebody just give them back!”
Jimin continued to laugh with Taehyung which caused Jungkook to curse and attack them, wrestling them in the living room. After he beat them up, Jungkook stormed back to his room to try to seethe in solitude.
Once he left, a smirk slowly came across the Bangtan Girl’s features. 
‘Wonder how long I should keep this up.’ She thought evilly.
Jungkook was so mad. She almost felt bad for doing this to him. He trusted her so much that he wouldn’t dare suspect her of all people to mess with his white shirts. 
Jimin peeped her smirk. He was the only one who knew her secret. When she decided to tell him, he was genuinely surprised that Miss Bangtan of all people would steal Jungkook’s white shirts.
That she would be bold enough to do such a thing.
Days later in the afternoon, Jen chilled in the living room, playing video games by herself until her phone buzzed, getting a notification from the BTS Group Chat.
Jimin: uhhh just to give you a fair warning...Kook is looking for you
Raising a brow, Jennie immediately texted back
Jennie: Why?
Jimin: He knows
Jennie: What do you mean "He knows"
Tae: Ennie, you need to HIDE
Hobi: NOW
Yoongi: You R on ur own kid...
Jennie groaned. 
You have GOT to be kidding. 
Why did she open up her mouth? She should've known that Jimin would blab out that she took his shirts. How stupid of her to trust him.
Jennie: Jimin!!
Jimin: He beat it out of me! I'm sorry! Jungkook is so scary when he's angry! I'm sorry, Ennie!
As soon as she heard another ping, she checked the notification, feeling her stomach drop at who had messaged next in the group chat.
Jungkook: Jennie.
Jennie: Hey Kookie! :) :) :)
Jungkook: So...you touched my white shirts, huh? 
Jennie: Me? Nooooo, I would never
As soon as Jen saw the next message, she immediately got off the couch, in panic.
Jungkook: I’m coming for you
She reread the text and ran into her room, earning a loud laugh from Namjoon who was in the kitchen. Shutting the door, she locked it, pacing around. She should've thought things through. She'll never make the mistake of telling anyone her plans.
She decided to hide under her bed, hoping that would be a great hiding spot.
Jennie: I didn’t do anything!
Tae: Jungkook please reconsider! Ennie is an innocent soul!
Hobi: Don't do this Jungkoko!
Yoongi: She dead
Jimin: Jungkook don't!
Jungkook: Where is she?
Jin: Whatever mess you make, I won't be cleaning it up.
Jennie: Jin! You not going to help me!?
Jin: This is your responsibility, sweetie.
Yoongi: She dead.
Jimin: Jungkookie noooooooooooo
Jungkook: I won't ask again.
Jungkook: WHERE
Jungkook: IS
Jungkook: SHE?
Namjoon: Last time I checked, she just ran in her room
Jennie: NAMJOON!
She received a peace sign emoji from the leader and a devil emoji from Jungkook
Jennie: Kookie please!
Namjoon: I'm leaving the dorm. I don't want to see or hear what punishment he has in store. I'll be at the studio
Yoongi: She dead.
Jimin: YOONGI NOT THE TIME!
Yoongi: Do you want me to lie? She's dead.
Namjoon: Don't punish her too hard, Kook. You don't know your own strength at times 
Yoongi: She'll learn her lesson once he's done with her
Namjoon: Good luck Jennie!
Hobi: No! No! No! Jungkook this is a bad idea!
Jimin: Jungkookie don't lay a finger on our Ennie!
Jungkook: I'll be laying more than just a finger on her
“Why me?” She complained.
She was now alone in the dorm. And Jungkook was coming back any minute. It was too late to leave the dorm. He could be already here.
And as soon as she thought about it, she heard the front door open and close.
Great...
Her stomach dropped as she heard footsteps. She quickly put her phone on silent, doing everything she could to not make a sound. Hearing her doorknob rattle, her nerves got worse.
“Of course, you would lock the door.” She heard Jungkook’s voice filled with annoyance.
“Jungkook! It was just a prank!” She exclaimed. “Leave me alone! I’m sorry! It was a prank!”
“Oh, I know. But when you mess with my white shirts, I have the right to give you a proper punishment. Open the door.” He demanded.
“Jungkook, think about what you’re doing!”
“Open the door, Jennie.”
“Jungkook, let’s talk about this!”
“Oh, we’ll talk. My hands are going to do the talking. Now, open the door.” His voice went down an octave, giving off a threatening tone.
She decided to stay silent and for a moment she heard no more noise.
Maybe he left?
She considered getting from under the bed but decided against it after she heard more noise coming from her door. She realized that he was working on removing her bedroom door handle with some type of tool he found.
‘You have GOT to be kidding me! Am I worth this much trouble?! Over white shirts!?’ She panicked as he finally opened her door. 
She swallowed nervously as her eyes came into view with his timberlands walking around her room.
“Are you going to reveal yourself or am I going to have to take matters into my own hands?” He talked out loud to her.
Jen kept her mouth shut. Maybe she could try to escape this. He was fast but she could squirm out of his grip if he caught her. Seeing the light from her phone flash, she glanced at it to see the missed messages from the group chat
Jimin: Jennie! Are you safe!?
Tae: ENNIE!
Yoongi: She dead
Hobi: Munchkin!
Jimin: GUYS SHE’S NOT ANSWERING!
Yoongi: She dead.
Namjoon: She brought this on herself haha.
Jimin: What have I done!? Ennie! Answer us!
Yoongi: She dead.
Hobi: You sure you should’ve
“Crap!” She yelped as he grabbed a hold of her ankles, pulling her from under the bed. She didn’t even get the chance to read the rest of Hobi’s message.
Jungkook turned her around to face him and pinned her to the floor before she could have the chance to crawl away. As she looked up at his stern expression, she swallowed hard. That was a look she was not used to.
“Now...we can either do this the easy way or the hard way.” He advised. “I think it’ll be in your best interest to go the easy route because I tend to not be so merciful when it comes to things like my white shirts.”
“Kook, come on now. Let’s not do this.”
“You brought this on yourself.”
“Jungkook!”
“Now I’m going to ask you one question...and you are going to answer me truthfully, do you hear me?” He got closer to her face.
His serious expression made him look more mature as his piercing gaze stayed on her like a hawk, making sure she wasn’t going anywhere, anytime soon. It was intimidating to see him like this and she wondered how she would be able to escape.
Where was Jimin or the rest of the guys? Shouldn’t they be scrambling over here to help her instead of texting the group chat?
“Where are my shirts?” Her thoughts were interrupted.
“I don’t know where they are!” She struggled against his strong grip. She could hardly move from under him.
“Strike one.”
“Kook!”
“Tell me where my white shirts are.”
“I don’t know!”
“Strike two. One more, you’re done for. I’m going to ask you, one more time. Where-are-my-white-shirts?” He demanded as his nose grazed hers.
“They’re someplace...where you are never going to find.” She boldly answered. “Admit that I outsmarted you, Kook.”
Jungkook poked the inside of his cheek, feeling himself getting more aggravated that he still didn’t have his white shirts. 
It had been weeks.
Weeks since he’s had them.
Her stomach flipped when he leaned down, and she felt his warm breath against her ear. “You know, I really thought I could trust you. It seems like I need to be more mindful of those close to me. Because they can turn on you just like that. And take things that are precious from you. Like my white shirts for example. You know I wasn’t even going to prank you at all for this prank war? But I guess you didn’t have the same mindset. So, do you have any idea what I’m going to do to you?”
“Let me go and forget this happened?”
“I could...but that won’t be fun, now would it?” He put both her wrists in one hand as his other found itself slowly grazing the side of her stomach, causing her to squirm.
That was a sensitive area, because he’s been there before, and she knew what he was about to do. 
He was going to tickle her.
“No, please! Not that, anything but that! I’ll buy you lamb skewers! Anything but that!” She started to panic.
“Should’ve thought of that before you said what you said.” He moved back from her face, watching her attempt to move around from under him.
“It was so tempting, I’m sorry-“ She was cut off by her laughter as he began to aggressively tickle her sides with both his hands. “St-sthap it-hahahah! Jungko-ok!”
“What was that? Huh?” He teased, as he tickled her relentlessly, watching her become undone.
“Are you going to tell me where my shirts are?” He questioned over her loud laughter. 
No matter how much her hands tried to push him away, he continued to be relentless.
“Please-!”
“Please what? If it’s not about the location of my white shirts, I’m not listening to you beg for mercy. Suffer.” He answered her pleas with no remorse.
After a few more moments, she couldn’t take anymore, and finally, gave up. “Okay! Okay! Enough! I’ll tell you!”
He left her alone, smirking in satisfaction as he waited for her to pull herself together. “Now...about those white shirts...”
“Th-they’re at Amber’s place.” She revealed, trying to catch her breath.
“And I’m sure you’ll return them to me, today, right?”
“Uh huh.”
“Glad we could work something out.” He grinned triumphally. “But just a fair warning...Pull something like that again, the punishment will be even worse. That was me going easy on you. These hands can do a lot more damage.”
“I am never telling anyone anything ever again.” She groaned.
------
The next day, at school, Jennie and Jungkook attended gym class together. The two combined classes found themselves sitting on the floor, as the gym teacher announced that today’s activity would consist of dodgeball. Hearing that caused Jungkook’s mood to boost. He loved dodgeball and was looking forward to playing it.
“Jeon Jungkook. Jennifer Walker.” The gym teacher called them out, gesturing for them to stand next to him. “You two will be today’s team captains.”
‘Team captains? So, I’m going up against Kook in dodgeball?’ Jen thought as she glanced at her best friend.
Jungkook and Jennie were more competitive than others, and it would mean the world to her if she could beat him in dodgeball. It would give her some type of closure since he would usually beat her in video games.
The gym teacher told them to play one round of rock, paper, scissors to see who would get the first pick and Jungkook won by choosing paper over Jen’s rock.
The Golden Maknae looked around the handful of classmates that sat on the gym floor, waiting patiently to be picked. He pondered about which person to choose first, wanting strong teammates since he was stronger on offense when it came to dodgeball.
His eyes landed on Jennie’s shy friend, Hayoon, who was looking down at her feet. “Hayoon.” He called out, causing her to lift her head in surprise.
“Y-yes?” She stuttered.
“Come on, you’re on my team.” He smiled softly, beckoning her to come over.
As soon as she heard him call out her friend’s name, Jennie stared at him in disbelief. “What? My friend though? How dare you?”
“All about the mind games.” He teased as Hayoon stood behind him.
“Sorry, Jennie.” Hayoon smiled apologetically.
“Okay, you knew I was gonna pick her.” Jen frowned at the Golden Maknae.
“Exactly. I know you better than you know yourself. I know how you think.” He replied confidently.
“She’s supposed to be mine.”
“Not today.” He grinned cockily.
“I’m going to....” She trailed off, shaking her head. “The Lord is testing me today...”
“What?” He challenged. “What are you going to do, my dear friend?”
She wanted to smack that grin off his face but she suppressed her urges.
“You better take good care of her.” She huffed and turned to Hayoon. “If he does anything wrong, let me know. I’ll give him a beating back at the dorm.”
Hayoon smiled softly. “I’m sure Jungkook and I won’t have any problems. He is a nice person.”
“You hear that Jennie? I’m nice.” He happily announced.
“She’s only trying not to hurt your feelings. We all know you suck.” She turned back to her classmates, smirking in amusement when he yelled “Yah!”
After picking their teammates, the gym teacher began to explain the rules. “All right, I’m sure we know how to play this game but I added some more rules, to make it more intense. If the ball hits you, you’re out. While you stand on the sidelines when you’re out, you can have one of your teammates that’s still in the game, throw you a ball and you can try to shoot the ball into the basketball hoop. If you make the ball in the basket, everyone from your team is back in the game. If it hits the backboard, only you are back in. Captains, face each other, please.”
Jungkook and Jen faced off, staring each other down intently, as their classmates looked on in anticipation. Jen looked at him up and down, stepping up to him. 
“Golden Maknae.” She acknowledged.
Jungkook smirked at her competitiveness. “Miss Bangtan.” He mimicked her movements.
“Ready to lose?”
“I think the question is, am I ready to win.”
“No, not today. You may beat me in video games, but today, you will be the one who’s losing for a change.”
“We shall see about that.”
“I want a clean game.” Their gym teacher interrupted their face off. “We’ll play three rounds. Whoever gets two wins will be victorious." 
Jungkook looked at his opponent, examining her. Jennie’s defensive skills were only getting better and better. Something that he couldn’t touch. But unlike him, she didn’t have great aim and never went on an offensive route for games. If he could stay on her team, throwing the balls relentlessly, he should get everyone out and win the game effortlessly. His team had stronger players, the main thing he needed to focus on was her quick instincts to avoid getting hit.
Defense vs. offense. 
It would be a great set of matches between the two teams.
The 97 Liners shake hands while their teams go to their spots. Attempting to walk back, Jen is pulled forward by Jungkook due to his strong grip on her hand. She looked up at the tall Golden Maknae with a serious expression.
More trash talk?
“Before I let you go, I just want to wish you luck.”
“How kind of you.”
“And I’ll happily enjoy some lamb skewers when I win. Your treat of course.” His bunny smile showed on his features.
She knew he was up to something. Narrowing her eyes, she glared at him playfully. “Hm, you’d like that, wouldn’t you? Well, when I win, I want my noodles. I will enjoy that treat to the fullest.”
“I think you may want to get your mind off noodles. The lamb skewers will be a great meal after school. Might as well prepare for it.”
“Ha! You tried it.”
“Make the best 97 Liner win.” He released her and headed over to his team with a confident look on his face.
Meeting up with her team, they prepare for the first round. “What’s the strategy?” One of her female teammates asked.
“All right, I have a plan in mind. It may sound crazy, but I strongly believe this will work. I want to take a risk.”
“What’s the plan?”
“Don’t get the dodgeballs first. Wait for them to get it.” She informed as they stared at the set of medium-sized, colorful balls in the middle of the gym floor. 
She heard some of her teammates question her strategy. “You sure? Shouldn’t we run and get the balls?”
“That’s what they think we’re going to do. But we’re not going to. Catch them off guard. Make them believe they’re at an advantage.”
“Okay and then what?” Another teammate asked
“I want us to watch the balls and catch them whenever they throw them. Put your hands out like this.” She demonstrated. “Whatever you do, catch it, and then they’ll get out. If we can all catch their balls when they attack, then that means we’ll have fewer people to get out in the game, and we’ll have all the balls then. Trust me.”
Her teammates noticed a strong leader aura around her, as her plan made sense. 
“When you get a ball, aim for their legs and feet.” She continued. “If you aim at their upper body, they’ll have more of an advantage to catch the ball. Their legs, however, different story. I won’t let you guys down, I will fight until we are victorious today. I will lead us to victory. Keep a cool head, and keep your eyes open at all times. Anything can happen in just a blink of an eye. Got it?” She looked at her teammates, who appeared motivated and pumped up.
They all put their hands in the middle. “One, two, three, Defensive!” They shout, throwing their hands up in the air.
Both teams placed their hands on the wall, waiting for the teacher’s cue. This was it. All or nothing. Jen’s heart began to race from anticipation. Her team needed to win this.
“Begin!” The gym teacher blew the whistle.
Like Jen planned, her team stayed back as Jungkook’s team ran up and got the balls. His team looked confused that her team stood back and thought it wasn’t the wisest choice. His team, as expected, threw the dodgeballs at her team, and Jen watched in approval when her teammates caught the balls.
Jungkook widened his eyes in shock at what just happened as he saw a handful of his teammates walk to the sideline. Irritation was clear on his face as he poked the inside of his cheek with his tongue, narrowing his eyes at Jennie. He was not happy at how quickly he lost teammates.
“BOOM!” Jennie fist pumped, high fiving her teammates who were cheering. She turned back to Jungkook with a huge smile on her face, having her arms outstretched, tilting her head to the side. “Now THAT is how you make a statement! We here to win today!”
“Game on.” He growled. “Watch your back.” He pointed her out.
“Don’t hate the player, hate the game. I outsmarted you. Admit it.” She shrugged.
“Yeah, and it’ll be the last.” He huffed. 
He was not happy. He refused to lose to her. 
It was on, now.
As the game went on, Jen’s teammates noticed how patient and understanding she was towards them as she gave them encouraging words throughout the game. She wanted everyone to remain calm and not be intimidated just because Kook’s team had stronger players.
Suddenly, without even noticing who hit him, Jungkook gets hit on the thigh by a ball.
“Jeon Jungkook, you’re out!” The gym teacher announced.
“Aish...” He threw his ball down in frustration and walked over to the sidelines.
He was so focused on trying to get Jennie out that he failed to realize others were trying to get him out too. Getting strong players out of a game was always a smart move, and he knew he had targets on his back.
Jennie’s team managed to win Round 1 thanks to their effort of catching the dodgeballs whenever their opponents tried to hit them.
“Aaaaayyyyyeeeeeeee!” Jennie yelled as she performed the Shmoney dance in celebration. 
She happily gave her teammates high fives, praising them for their efforts, and told them to keep it up. 
For Round 2, Jungkook’s team came back in full aggression. It seemed like getting the first loss of the game, lit a fire in the Golden Maknae as he did everything he could to get as many opponents out as possible.
Seeing an available ball standing in the middle of the gym, the 97 Liners glance at each other and make a run for it.
‘I need that ball.’ Jen thought hastily as she ran as fast she could. 
Before she could grab it, Jungkook managed to swipe it from the floor first. She stumbled back and fell on her butt with a grunt and cautiously looked up at the Golden Maknae.
“Gotcha.” He smirked, readying himself to throw the ball.
‘Relax, Jennie.’ She calmed herself down. 
If her teammates saw her panic, they would panic too. She needed to stay strong in this predicament. Telling her body to move as soon as she saw him move his hand to throw the ball at her, she barely managed to roll away, earning whoas from her classmates.
“As expected.” He grabbed another ball that was by his feet.
Mostly everyone had the balls on the sideline, aiming to make a basket so their whole team could get back in the game. 
He threw another fastball at her, making her jump out of the way with a yelp. 
‘If I didn’t move one inch, that would’ve hit me.’ She huffed as she got on her feet, watching his every move. One false movement, she was done for.
‘Clever girl.’ He thought, impressed. 
He enjoyed the challenge.
‘Maybe if I could try to catch the ball.’ She thought as she stayed alert. ‘But his aim and speed of the ball are so intense, I’m not sure if catching it would be wise, in fear that it may fall out my hands.’
Hayoon stood next to Jungkook as she aimed a ball right at Jennie, who ducked down in the nick of time. 
“Aye! Why is it two on one!?” Jen exclaimed as she continued to jump out of the way from any balls aiming at her.
“Sorry, Jennie. But you need to get out.” Hayoon giggled and threw another ball.
“Bye!” Miss Bangtan waved at her friend when she caught her ball. A pout came across Hayoon’s face as she walked over to the sidelines. Before Jen knew it, a dodgeball hit her right in the butt, causing her to turn to the thrower in shock. “Ow! You hit my ass!”
“Perfect shot!” Jungkook laughed, fist pumping. “Don’t take your eyes off me, next time!”
“Oh, so that’s how we gonna play, huh?” Rolling her eyes in annoyance.
Jennie stood by the sidelines while the rest of her teammates played against Jungkook and his team. Jen had tried to make a basket a couple of times but to no avail as Jungkook blocked every single one. 
“Oh my god! Back off!” She yelled in frustration. 
Why couldn’t he just focus on the game? Not on blocking her baskets?
Hayoon unexpectedly made a basket, causing her whole team to cheer. 
“I made the shot!” She jumped up and down happily. 
Jennie groaned as she saw all of Jungkook’s teammates run back into the game. She watched painfully as her teammates remaining got hit, causing Jungkook’s team to win this round. He immediately celebrated with his teammates, acting hyped up as he jumped up and down with them.
Jennie on the other hand, gathered her team to group up in a circle. “We may have lost that round but don’t let that discourage you. We still got this. All of you did a great job holding your own. And now we are in the last round. We’re going to need to be more on offense this time. But remain cautious of your surroundings. Never take your eyes off your opponents. We got this. Go hard or go home. Let’s take this victory!” She shouted as her team cheered.
“Final round!” The gym teacher blew the whistle.
This time, Jen sprinted forward to grab two of the balls in the middle of the floor and managed to hit two people in the process. After ducking around and avoiding the balls that were aimed at her team, she finally caught a ball that almost went over her head. Tossing it to one of her teammates to use, Jen watched triumphally as the person who threw the ball walked to the sidelines.
The game was equally matched, and both teams were determined to win. Near the end of the game, Jen stood by the sidelines with her team while Jungkook was still in the game, with one other person going up against three people left from her team. He seemed to be getting everyone out before it was just three people left because her teammates could not seem to hit him with a dodgeball.
“Whatever you do, don’t let Jennie get back in.” Jungkook requested his teammate as he went on to try to get the last people out. 
Those Lamb Skewers were his.
Meanwhile, Jen couldn’t hide her frustration every time she aimed the ball at the backboard, it would get slapped away by Jungkook’s teammate before it could touch it. Butterflies were in her stomach as she witnessed that there was only one person left from her team.
“Please...” She whispered as she tried one more time.
“Walker! You’re back in!” The gym teacher announced. 
Sighing out of relief, she ran to her teammate. “You good, girl?” She asked as she got handed a ball.
“No, I’m freaking out! I can’t do this. I can’t hit them, we’re going to lose!”
“Hey. Get that negative mindset out of your head. Remember what I told you. You can catch the ball to get people out in dodgeball. You got this. Trust me.” She reassured. The two of them ducked as a loud smack was heard against the wall when Jungkook’s fastball clashed against it. “I would like my head!”
“And I would like to win!” She heard him say.
Jennie kneeled and caught his teammate’s ball that was aimed at her feet, leaving Jungkook to be the last man standing for his team. He throws two fastballs, ready for this game to be over before anyone else from her team can get back in the game.
Unable to move in time, one of the balls hit Jen’s shoulder, causing her to fall back. Looking up, she saw that her teammate had a shocked expression on her face and she saw a dodgeball in her hands.
She had caught his other dodgeball.
“Atta girl!” Jen got up and rushed to hug her.
“Winner! Team Jennie!” The gym teacher announced. Her team all rushed up and joined in the hug, jumping up and down, and cheering in celebration.
“WOO! That is what I’m talking about!” Jennie beamed, with a huge smile on her face.
Jungkook, sitting on the gym floor, was disappointed that his team lost but was praised for his efforts. He watched Jennie celebrate, and it was like he was watching her in slow motion as her hair flipped to one side when she turned her head to him. The same bright smile still on her face.
She was something else.
Before he knew it, she was in front of him, extending her hand out. He smiled and took it as she helped him up. 
Keeping a strong grip on his hand, she spoke, “Good game, Kook. Thanks for going all out on me. Your team pushed me harder than ever before.”
“Yeah.” He nodded. “I’m kind of glad you beat me.”
“Are you?”
“Yeah, because you make competitions fun. You’re unpredictable. But just so you know, I’ll be the one winning next time.” He gave her hand a gentle squeeze.
“I’m ready for whatever you bring at me, bunny.”
-----
After changing in the dorm, Jennie and Jungkook took a stroll together, aiming to head to a local noodle restaurant so he could treat her to noodles since she won the game. As Jungkook approached the restaurant, he watched in confusion as Jennie walked past it.
“Wait, don’t you want noodles?” He asked as he followed her.
“I did. But I changed my mind.” She replied as she stopped in front of a Korean BBQ restaurant. “I’m kind of craving lamb skewers.” She smiled, giggling at his happy reaction.
“No way, are you serious!?” His bunny smile came across his features.
“Don’t make me change my mind.” She teased as he eagerly opened the door for her, letting her walk in first.
“Trust me, I won’t let you. You won’t regret it.” He replied as he walked in.
Getting seated at a booth, facing each other, they ordered lamb skewers and watched them cook. Some lucky ARMY came to the right restaurant because they secretly watched the 97 Liners. Some took photos, filmed them briefly, and watched them with giggles. 
Jungkook noticed and felt a little shy when he heard one of them murmur, “Don’t they look cute?”
Jennie watched the lamb skewers cook while Jungkook ended up gazing at her. She rested her elbow on the table as her fingers tangled in her curls. The way she would briefly check her phone, watch the lamb skewers cook with anticipation, and how she scrunched up her nose out of habit, he thought it was some of the most adorable things he had ever seen.
Feeling eyes on her, she decided to remove her hand from her hair, setting her arm down. She flashed him a sweet smile and silently commenced a staring contest until she burst out in laughter from another one of his derp faces. 
Jungkook smiled and looked down, chuckling his own self.
“This better be good.” She warned.
“They will be, trust me.” He guaranteed. “You won’t be disappointed.”
“I blame Yoongi for your obsession with this. But at least I finally get to see what the hype is all about.” She grabbed a stick after it finished cooking and took a bite.
“Well?” Kook looked on in anticipation.
“Yo, this is bomb!” She took another bite.
“Yes!” He fist pumped. “Told you that you would like them.”
As they ate, he requested to take photos, to let Yoongi and ARMY know about her new fascination with Lamb Skewers. The first photo he took was of her smiling while looking down because he said that he still couldn’t believe she beat him in one of his favorite games.
Tumblr media
‘She’s still laughing at the fact that she beat me in dodgeball today at school. I will not lose again. #JK’
The next photo he took was a selfie of them, as he put up the peace sign and she stuck her tongue out. He tweeted the photo, ‘Suga Hyung, she tried lamb skewers for the first time, and loved it! Got her hooked!’
Yoongi would reply a few moments later, ‘Welcome to the lamb side. Once you get in, there is no way out, smartie.’
Tumblr media
Placing his phone down, he looked up, watching her as he noticed her nose occasionally twitching cutely like a hamster. It gave him the urge to want to kiss it. Unintentionally, he let out a soft chuckle which caused her to look up and smile.
“What?”
“You keep twitching your nose.”
“Oh.” She touched her nose. “It’s a habit. I don’t even know I’m doing it.” She laughed. Moments later, he noticed her nose twitch yet again. 
“You did it again.” he teased, making her cover her nose.
“I don’t mean to! Stop staring, you’re embarrassing me.” She laughed. A few seconds later, she glanced at him as amusement was shown on his features. “Stop it!”
The Golden Maknae let out another laugh. “Can’t help it.”
As they continued to eat, Jungkook noticed how big her cheeks would get when she stuffed food in her mouth. It was official. He saw no difference. She resembled a cute hamster. No wonder ARMY had been commenting about that on their Twitter. Now he saw why.
“So, how is your English?” She went to her native tongue.
He looked shooked at her question. “Don’t want to talk about that.” He said with a sigh.
“What did you get on the English test?” She went back to Korean.
“Let’s not talk about that.” He rubbed the back of his neck.
“When’s your next test?”
“I have a test from the basics to what we’re learning now.”
“Let’s work our way up then. When’s the test?”
“In a few days.”
“Jeon Jungkook.” She scolded as he grinned sheepishly. “I’m going to kill you. You should’ve told me earlier. I could’ve been helping you.”
“Sorry.”
“Forgiven.” She replied. She watched him go through his bookbag, take out his English study guide for the test, and hand it to her. “Let’s start with greetings. Greet me in English.”
“Hello, my name is Jungkook.”
She did a double take when she heard his voice go down an octave. “How the heck did your voice get so deep?” She stared at him, astonished. “Manly...”
“Manly?” He repeated with a grin.
“Your voice sounds so different when you speak in English. And your accent is thick.”
“You like?” He raised a brow.
“Eh heh heh~” She chuckled nervously, causing him to smile teasingly. 
“Yeah. I do.” She admitted.
His bunny smile got wider. It made him feel good that she enjoyed hearing him speak in her language. And how she called his voice manly. He felt good about himself.
She looked back down at the paper. “It’s 9 AM. What do you say to someone during that time?”
“Good morning.”
“It’s 3 PM. How do you greet someone?”
“Good afternoon.”
“It’s 11 PM, how do you greet someone?”
“Good night.”
“Okay, I see you.” She praised, nodding in approval. “Let’s have a brief conversation in English. Good afternoon, Jungkook.”
“Good afternoon, Jennie. How are you?”
She had to admit, he sounded cute when he was trying to speak English. She would help with his pronunciation of the words so he could speak clearer as they spoke.
“I am great. How are you?” She responded.
“I am well.”
“What is the weather today?”
“It is sunny.”
“What season are we in?”
“It is spring.”
“Can you describe the weather? Rain? Clouds?”
“It is sunny with clouds. No rain.”
She nodded. “All right we’re getting there. Looks like you’re also learning about appearances and colors. So, how would you describe me in English?”
“Beautiful.”
She couldn’t fight the growing smile on her face. That was smooth. 
She touched her hair, wanting him to describe the color. “Hair color.”
“Pretty.”
“Hahah, the color, Kookie. Color.”
“Brown.”
“Can you say it in a sentence?”
“You have pretty hair.”
“The color?”
“You have pretty brown hair.”
She giggled. “Thank you. What type of hair do I have?” She touched her hair again, fluffing her curls.
“Pretty hair.”
She placed her head down as he began to giggle. If he keeps this up, her face will begin to warm up at all these compliments. 
He was straightforward with his answers. No hesitations, just genuine.
“Pretty curly hair.” He corrected himself as she lifted her head back up.
“What color is my skin?” She tapped her bare forearm before going back to look at the paper.
“Beautiful black skin.”
Tumblr media
Stopping what she was doing, she slowly lifted her head, gazing at him, speechless. That statement hit her heart as she thought about those wanting her to bleach her skin, calling it dirty. She received so much crap about her colored skin, and to hear him call her skin beautiful with no hesitation, touched her.
“...Do you...” She spoke softly. “...really mean that?”
“Yes.” He nodded. “You...have beautiful skin. Not dirty. Do not listen to hate. Listen to love. Listen to BTS. Listen to ARMY. You are beautiful. No lie.” His English was still broken, he stumbled on the words, and not to mention his thick accent was still there but she caught what he was trying to tell her. “I thought this of you. Since we met.”
Her eyes began to water as she looked down, speaking back in Korean with a shaky voice after clearing her throat. “Gosh, these onions are really getting through my eyes, Kook.”
“But there are no onions around here,” he said in his native tongue.
She wiped her developing tears and sniffed. She didn’t want him to see her cry, but she was overwhelmed with happiness.
“I want to learn more English so I can talk to you in English.” He brought up.
“But we can speak in Korean together.” She sniffed softly and met his gaze.
“I know that but, you already know my language. I want to get to know your language so there won’t be any language barrier between us. I kind of envy those who can talk to you in your language. Like Namjoon Hyung. I want to be able to do that.”
He was so serious about this. 
“And you will. Learning a language takes time and patience. You’ll get there, Kookie.” She smiled in reassurance.
“Okay.”
“All right, let’s get to the harder stuff for your upcoming test.”
When the bill came, Jen went to grab it and ended up placing her hand on Jungkook’s. 
“I’ll pay.” He said.
“It’s cool, I want to.” She reassured.
Jungkook shook his head, starting to get stubborn. “I want to pay.”
“Kook, I never get to treat you. Come on. Let me pay.”
“No, I got this, it��s fine.”
“Kookie!” She whined.
“Jennie!” He whined back.
She let out a sigh. “How about this? We both pay half and half. Deal?”
“Deal.”
“But the next time I’ll treat you, got it? It’ll be a trend. Next time I’ll treat. Then you. Then we’ll pay half and half, then I’ll treat again and so on.”
“Not a bad idea.”
“Glad we could agree, my good friend.”
“Indeed milady.”
Soon after they paid, the fangirls finally began to speak, calling out their names and waving. 
“Hi!” Jennie waved. 
The girls were covering their faces with their hands, acting shy around them as they waved back.
“How was school?” One of them asked.
“It went well. My team beat Jungkook in dodgeball!” She happily announced.
“L-let’s not get cocky now.” He whined, causing the girls to giggle at him.
“Will you be on Running Man again?” Another fan asked.
“Yeah, I want to see the Golden Duo on Running Man again! It was so fun seeing you work together.”
“I’m down. Are you?” Jen turned to Jungkook.
“Why not?” He smiled.
“I hope they have a couples episode soon, so you two can go there together and beat everyone. It’ll be so fun to watch. They usually have those episodes and have a couples' tag game. I would love to see that happen soon.”
“If they want us, all they gotta do is ask. I would gladly go back to Running Man.” Jungkook added.
After some cute photos with the fans and a brief conversation on whether they were eating well and resting up, Jennie and Jungkook walked back to the dorm as the girls immediately tweeted their photos
‘Saw JenKook today! Just my luck! Jennie’s hair bounced when she walked, it was cute! And Jungkook is so hot! I’m crying!’
‘Spotted Jennie and Jungkook eating after school! Love the 97 Liners!’
‘Jennie is so nice! She looks small compared to Jungkook with his big muscles, it was cute! His muscles are getting bigger! It was a sight!’
‘Why are the BTS members so beautiful in person? They’re unreal!’
‘I wanted to ask Jennie if I could touch her hair but was too afraid she would say no. Her hair is so pretty, though!’
Back at the dorm, Jungkook took out his keys, placing one of them inside the door.
“Jungkook,” Jennie called out softly, placing her hand on his to stop him.
“Yeah?” He turned his head.
Placing a hand behind the back of his head, she stood up on her toes, pressing her soft lips against his forehead for a moment. His eyes widened at her sudden gesture as he felt his face heat up once she pulled away. 
She smiled softly at him. “Thank you. For calling my skin beautiful. Your kind words always hit close to home.”
“Y-yeah, always. I meant every word. Don’t forget that.” He smiled shyly and opened the door, letting her go in first.
Later in the afternoon, Jennie and Jin were in the kitchen. She was in the mood for oatmeal because she saw the box in the cabinet. Jin offered to make it for her, so she sat at the dining room table, waiting patiently. She craved apple cinnamon oatmeal. It was one of her favorites to eat. Jin decided to make it from scratch, just for her.
Meanwhile, Jimin met up with Taehyung and Jungkook on his bed, having a big bag to show them.
“You sure that'll work?” Jungkook asked.
“Hobi Hyung fears everything, it’ll work.” Jimin giggled evilly and took out a live lobster. It was huge as the boys looked at it moved in awe, touching it experimentally.
Jungkook and Tae wanted a front row seat to Jimin’s prank. They had told Jennie about it and she told them that she didn’t want to be responsible for Hobi’s death via petrification, but she’d know if the prank went well if she heard him scream. She was rooting for a successful prank, supporting their evil antics.
Hobi was currently in the bathroom, showering after dance practice, and Jimin thought the perfect time to prank him was while he was in the bathroom. Slowly opening up the bathroom door with the lobster, alive, in his hand, Jimin tip toed in, undetected. Tae and Jungkook suppressed their giggles as they watched from the doorway.
This was going to be a good prank.
With Jin, he finished making the oatmeal and made two big bowls for her and himself. He sat next to her, handing her a spoon. They waited until it cooled down, before eating a spoonful. 
“How is it?” He asked.
“Tastes just like home.” She took another bite. “And you made this from scratch? It’s so fresh, the apples are so sweet. I love it, thank you Jin!”
“Anytime, sweetie.” He felt proud of his work and enjoyed his cooking.
A piercing high pitched scream was heard from the bathroom, startling the oatmeal eaters. 
“What in the world...?” Jin looked up as they heard loud thumping, crashing and rapid shuffling coming from the bathroom.
It sounded like Hobi was slipping and falling around in the tub and his screams got louder.
“JIMIN!” Another scream was heard from Hobi, over the Maknae Line’s laughter. “GET IT AWAY! GET IT AWAY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? DON’T COME ANY CLOSER!”
“Yep. They done it now.” Jennie took another bite of her oatmeal, shaking her head.
“What the heck is going on in there!?” Jin shouted.
“Ah, he’s fine.”
Jin turned his head to her, widening his eyes. “He doesn’t sound fine!”
Hobi scrambled out of the bathroom, naked with suds in his hair as Jimin chased him with the lobster. Jungkook and Taehyung dropped to the floor with laughter.
Jennie looked up and turned her head at the worst time, getting a full view of Hobi’s bare ass. 
“Oh, my God!” She screamed, covering her mouth in horror. 
That image was not going away, anytime soon for her. She could not unsee this. She was glad it wasn’t the front.
“SHIELD YOUR EYES!” Jin yelled, pushing the back of her head down into her warm bowl of oatmeal. “There is a lady here! What are you guys doing!? Knock it off!” He shouted at the boys.
He heard Jen banging her hand on the table in submission and looked down in shock at what he was doing to her. He let go and laughed nervously when she slowly raised her head.
Her face and hair were covered in oatmeal while she stared at him with annoyance.
“S-sorry.” He grabbed a napkin and tried to clean her face but she snatched it from his hands.
Suddenly, she grabbed a handful of her oatmeal and shoved it in his face. Appalled, he grabbed a handful and shoved it in her face.
“Jin!”
“You hit me first!”
“You shoved my face in oatmeal, first!”
“I was trying to protect you from that horrid sight!”
“You know what?” She got up from her seat and he followed her movements. She aimed another handful of oatmeal at him but he ducked and it ended up smacking Namjoon in the face.
Gasping in shock, she covered her mouth, while Namjoon let out a sigh, and stood up, taking off his hoodie. 
“Who did it?” He demanded.
Jin immediately pointed to her. 
"It was an accident!” She laughed.
“Really, Nie Nie? Well, this wasn’t an accident.” Namjoon said as he hit her with a handful of oatmeal.
“Oh hell no.”
The three of them began to toss oatmeal all over each other, initiating a food fight as the dorm filled with laughter along with Hobi’s constant screaming.
“Grab her! Grab her!” Jin shouted as Namjoon grabbed a hold of her while Jin had another handful of oatmeal ready.
“No! No!” She tried to get out of his grip. Once she did, Jin accidentally smacked Namjoon in the face instead.
“YAH!” the leader shouted. 
Jennie ended up giggling at their bickering and watched them throw food at each other.
Yoongi walked into the dorm, making one of his WTF faces when he saw the chaos occurring in the dorm. Jin, Jennie and Namjoon are covered in food, and Jungkook and Tae watch Hobi run around the dorm naked with Jimin chasing him with a lobster.
“Hey, Yoongi!” She waved.
“I don’t even wanna know.” He shook his head and walked into his room.
Namjoon wiped some oatmeal from Jen’s face. “You’re going to need a shower.”
“You’re telling me. Look at you.” She gestured.
The Maknae line walk to the dining room, wondering why they were covered in food. 
“We had some business to take care of,” Jin revealed.
“Want a hug?” Jennie opened her arms wide.
“NO!” Jimin shouted, taking a big step back with the guys.
“Let’s get them.” Namjoon went after Jimin. 
Jennie went after Tae while Jin went after Jungkook. They run around the dorm, attempting to grab ahold of them for a hug despite being covered in food.
“Why do I associate myself with them?” Yoongi grumbled as he went to fix the mess created in the bathroom.
Like Jen said before, every day is a new adventure living in a dorm filled with the Bangtan Boys.

It was a relatively chill day, the sun was shining, people were out enjoying the weather, and it was just generally a lovely day. It was lovely enough to spend the day outside but your friends Jackson, Yugyeom, Mark and Bambam have you stuck inside the studio, wanting to practice some dances ready for their upcoming shows. Why you were there, you never know, but it was nice to have them for company as they always know how to make you laugh and how to include you. Though you found yourself not the best at dancing in comparison to the boys, you still enjoyed it when they practiced their routines with you, and always cheering you on, calling you the 8th member of the group. This is something that became a regular occurance after becoming friends with Bambam, who introduced you to the rest of the boys. You couldn’t help but fall for one of them, Jackson, he intrigued you, he challenged you, he made you laugh and he just stood out to you in comparison with everyone else. But out of respect to your best friend, Bam, you never acted on your little crush, supressing it as much as you could so there was no way you feelings could get in the way of anything, so you weren’t biased when they bickered, or played games. You’ve only been in the studio for an hour before they start their usual antics, teasing each other about a move they had one, or even just the way the looked when they danced. There was never a dull moment and it made you grateful that arguements were very rare, only playful ones, where you knew how to stop them before they got out of hand and either Bam or Jackson get pissy and turn into little whiny babies. However, as it was a chill day, they were on their best behavior for a change.
“Hey, Y/N! How about you swap with Yugyeom for this dance routine? You know his parts right?” Mark teased, holding his younger in a light chokehold, ruffling up his hair as you get up to your feet, ready to step in as Jinyoung, Jaebum and Youngjae walk in, confused as to why Yugyeom was sitting down and you’re in his spot for ‘NaNaNa’. However, they shrug it off laughing as they put down their bags and continue to join the dance, teasing you that you weren’t tall enough so it threw them off. “Fine, let Yugyeom back in then!” you bite, knowing you shouldn’t with these lot as they start laughing at you, shaking their heads, “No, you have better footwork!” Jinyoung remarks, sending playful daggers to the youngest, who pouts in return, crossing his arms before poking his little tongue out. “Then stop complaining!” you retaliate. Within seconds of the song ending, and before you could even catch your breath from laughing and dancing at the same time, yugyeom comes from behind you, running up and sweeping you up onto his shoulders, “Hey, now she’s tall enough!” he excplaimed as you held on tight, scared he was going to drop you or even fall with you on his shoulders. “Put her down, we don’t need any accidents!” Jaebum shouts, in a half serious tone, but Yugyeom does as he’s told to ensure he doesn’t get a scolding later on if he did hurt you, or himself, better yet, both of you. “You’ve jinxed it now Jae,” you wink at him as he shakes his head with a grin, “Don’t now Y/N, touch wood!”.
The new choreography for one of their new songs included some stunts that were always left for either Mark and/or Jackson to do mainly. They had years of practice for this and we’re always happy to do so. You found yourself so suprised each time they did a stunt, though you knew they could do it, you always worried that something would go wrong, especially with Jackson. He could get very cocky if he was in one of his hyper moods, trying to do many stunts in a row and your heart would be in your throat each time, trying not to run to him to stop him from doing it again after he’s just done it a couple of times. Despite that, you always had faith in them, to be careful. Until this very moment. They had previously discussed about including a stunt in one of their songs, and though they were completely in agreement for it, you always wished that they’d change their mind as Jackson started to show off, as he does it once, jumping off Jaebum’s back, doing a flip then spinning to do a back flip. Your heart raced as they did it a first time, but he did a safe landing, putting you at slight ease but of course, they felt the need to go over it a few more times. You already noticed that Jackson had jumped wrongly, landing awkwardly to spin, but as he goes to do a back flip again, his ankle folds awkwardly on his landing, causing his leg to slip underneath him and the sound of a crack was loud enough to wake a sleeping baby, not long followed by him screaming in agony. “Jackson!” you cried as you ran to him, kneeling at his side as he clutched his leg, obvious broken bones on the leg he landed on. “Call 911!” you cried as you try to comfort him, running your fingers through his hair as you try to ensure that he wasn’t hurt anywhere else. Your heart broke at the sight of him in pain as the others panicked around him, running to find someone as Jaebum makes the call for an ambulence. “Y/N, please don’t leave me!” Jackson cries through the pain as you shake your head, holding onto him tight as you promise to stay by his side.
After what felt like a lifetime wait for the ambulence to turn up, you clutched onto Jackson’s hand as they move him onto a stretcher, manouvering him down the building into the ambulence. You insisted to stay with him for the journey as he cries for you, fighting with the nurses to let you on with him. “He needs me, please?!”. After hearing scream in pain for you, they felt as though they had better let you do so, holding onto his hand and careessing it with your thumb as you reassure him that everything was going to be okay. Within minutes, he’s getting rushed into the emergency room, the heavy doors closing behind as you’re forced to leave him and wait. You couldn’t help but pace around the waiting room as the boys tried to help reassure you that he was going to be okay, but the look of worry on their face showed they didn’t even believe their own words. “Why have you always got to include stupid stunts in your choreography?!” your voice breaks as the tears you tried holding back turned into floods. Your sudden outburst even broke the other’s composure as they try to hug you, but you weren’t having it. You knew something was going to go wrong. “Y/N, please calm down,” Jinyoung pleads, finally being able to get you to let him hug you as you sobbed into his chest, wishing things had gone a different way, “He’s going to be okay, I promise,” he reassures as you snake your arms around his waist, holding him there in a hug for emotional support, you needed something to keep you in line, to calm down. However you struggled to even forgive them for letting anything happen. You understood that it’s a part of being an idol, especially athletic ones like Mark and Jackson, who get given these jobs, but you wanted to turn back time, to make sure they had never agreed to do such things.
For what felt like hours, you sat in the waiting room, still clinging onto Jinyoung who kept you calm through humming songs for you, caressing your hair. That all came to a halt when you noticed the Doctor coming through the doors, not even giving him a chance to even open his mouth, you’re at his feet, begging him that Jackson’s okay. “Gentlemen, Miss Y/L/N, I have good news and bad news... Mr Wang is okay in himself, though he’s broken a couple of bones in his leg, and has had to have a cast put on his leg to make sure that his bones heal properly. I’ll write a formal letter to your company to keep him from extensive activities until he’s completely healed”. Your breathing stops from the news, but you found your so relieved that he was okay, tears fall from your eyes again, grabbing the doctor’s arm before he could walk away, “Let me see him, please?”, “Of course, follow me” the doctor says, directing you to the room as the members follow not far behind, letting you go in first to ease your mind after your meltdown. “Hey Jackson, how are you feeling?” you ask, trying to hold back tears, though he could tell you’ve been crying for him. He shrugs as he smiles, cracking a joke and teasing, as he usually would, “You’re crying like something extremely bad happened to me. It’s only a broken leg,” he teased as he swipes a tear from your cheek, you nuzzle into his hand on your face as he smiles even more, “Didn’t know you cared so much about me~”. You couldn’t believe the cheek on him as you tap his arm, cracking a laugh soon afterwards, making him exaggerate the pain there instead of his leg.
For about half hour, you just sat there talking to him, the boys coming in and out of the room, offering refreshements, and apologising to their brother, but they all knew it was an accident. “Hey guys, mind leaving me with Y/N a minute please?” Jackson asked, as they respect his wishes, walking out one by one, you were confused by his sudden request, furrowing your eyebrows at him as he waves goodbye to them before switching his attention to you. “Hey, come sit on this side of the bed with me” he requests, holding your hand as you walk around to the otherside of the bed, shuffling onto it next to him as he asked, still oblivious to what he was planning. “I can’t thank you enough for being there for me always, you’re amazing, Y/N. And I can’t help but admit how much I love you, not just as a best friend, but I LOVE you, more than you could ever imagine” your eyes fill up from his sweet talking, as you couldn’t believe what he was saying, out of all the times he could’ve confessed he had to chose now. You smile at him as he wraps an arm around you, pulling you into a cuddle as he kisses your forehead, “I can’t go another day without needing you to be mine, so will you do an injured, handsome, funny guy a favour, and be my girlfriend?” he teased again but in a genuine way as you nod, relieved that all of these years, you couldn’t believe he felt the same way for you. A kiss was shared as the members run into the room, quietly screaming and getting all excited at the sudden events. “Hyung finally confessed!!” Yugyeom cheered as the others congratulate the new relationship. Happy that the sunshines after a thunderstorm.

Break.
elsy + chan
chan and elsy hit a point in their relationship that they never imagined, causing them to start having conflict.
this is part 1 of this elsy series. not too sure how many parts I’ll have but in the mean time just enjoy :) please feel free to leave feedback because it is always appreciated!
[8th member of got7/soloist]
Tumblr media
elsy stood eagerly in the elevator as she waited for it to get on the floor chan’s dorm was in. it had been awhile since the two had seen each other, chan being busy with his schedule and traveling all over. but now, chan had a bit of free time to spend with the girl.
elsy had took a break from music after leaving her company. she left mainly at the fact she wasn’t given the proper support as she had in the beginning. she hadn’t been able to release new music and her only option was to leave. elsy felt as if she was letting her career go to waste if she continued to stay.
elsy was now walking fast and she was almost to chan’s dorm but before she could make it, chan was already walking out. “bang chan!” she exclaimed, smiling brightly at him. chan turned to her direction and instantly smiled when seeing elsy. the girl jumped on chan, wrapping her legs around his waist. “elsy! my love.” elsy hugged chan tighter, not saying a word. she missed being around him and it felt nice having him right in front of her.
chan put elsy down, the two going in for a kiss. “I’ve missed you so much.” she said, kissing him again. “it’s so nice to finally spend time with you.”
chan giggled, kissing elsy on the forehead. “I’ve missed you way more.”
“how are you doing?”
“great.” chan answered. “very tired of doing these schedules though. but it’s all worth it.” he smiled. “and you? what have you been up to?”
elsy sighed, “nothing if I’m being honest.” she answered. “I‘ve mostly been home. and also been hanging with yugyeom.”
“no new music?”
elsy shook her head. “as of right now, no.” the girl sighed again. chan gave her a reassuring smile. he knew she wanted to make music and perform again, and he knew how unfairly she was getting treated. “it’ll be okay, els.” chan said, giving her forehead another kiss.
“enough about this.” elsy clapped. “what do you feel like doing? we can go out to eat, maybe catch a movie, go shopping. you name it. I just want to spend time with you.” she smiled, wrapping her arms around chan’s neck.
“I’d love to do any of that stuff with you, els. but I have to work on new music. care to join me?” chan smiled.
elsy felt her smile drop. “you have to work on new music already?” she asked. “don’t you want a little break?”
“I can never take a break on music, els.” chan chuckled. “I enjoy it too much.”
elsy sighed. “you’ve been sighing a lot.” chan pointed out. “it’s okay if you don’t want to join me, els.”
“I haven’t seen you in awhile, of course I want to join you. but I was thinking we do other things besides being in the studio.”
elsy has always supported chan with everything he did, from work and just the person he is. she was always in the studio with him when he’s by himself and it’s late at night. she was always there for him. but recently, she felt like that’s all they ever do now. she wanted to do other things besides sitting in a studio all day or night.
elsy never said anything though, knowing how dedicated chan was to his work. but she knew she had to at least tell him how she felt.
and after spending almost all day there with him, elsy was growing a bit inpatient. “bang chan.” elsy said. the boy was too focused on his laptop to even pay attention. “bang chan.” she said again. still no answer. elsy sighed, walking over to him from the couch. “christopher.” he shook his shoulder finally getting his attention.
“w-what.” he said startled. “something wrong, els?”
“no. not exactly.”
“hm?”
elsy closed her eyes for a second, gathering her thoughts before talking again. “it’s just, we’ve been here all day. don’t you think we can do something else?”
“but I’m not done-“
“I know you’re not done, chan, but we can’t just always hang around in the studio. I don’t mind doing it once in awhile but all the time? you just have me here and we don’t do much.”
chan sat there, blank expression on his face. he wasn’t understanding. and that made elsy a bit ticked off with him. she missed the times where they would actually go out, not just sitting around while chan worked. “look, I’ll just go-“
“no!” chan shouted, startling the girl. “we can do something after I’m finished.”
“bang chan, we’ve been here for hours, let’s go out right now. you can save the work for later.” elsy said. she checked the time, seeing it was night time already. meaning she had wasted an afternoon.
“okay, at least let me finish-“
elsy shook her head. “no, chan.” this time she sounded stern. and chan took notice of her voice changing, staring back at elsy. “what’s wrong? you’re never like this, you’ve never had a problem being here with me-“
“because I keep it all to myself to not make you upset.” elsy cut in.
chan was taken back from elsy’s outburst. the girl could see how slightly upset how her boyfriend got. “what are you saying?”
elsy closed her eyes, sighing heavily as she opened her eyes. “what I’m saying is, I’m tired of being in the studio with you chan.” elsy answered. “this is all we do now, and I’m getting tired of it. I want to do more than just this. I enjoyed it the first couple of times but I don’t want to do this all the time.”
“but elsy, it’s my job.”
“I know it’s your job! but for once can you put your job to the side and put me first? you’re either away traveling or preparing for something. and the times you finally have some free time you just want to do this, chan.” elsy said, she stared into chan’s eyes intensely. “when’s the last time we’ve been on a date?”
chan was silent.
and that made elsy let out a small laugh of frustration. “wow, you can’t even name the last time we’ve had a date.” elsy could feel tears wanting to come down her eyes but she held them back as much as she could.
“I just care for my job elsy.”
“yeah, a little too much.”
“you just don’t understand.” chan said. elsy raised an eyebrow. “what do you mean I don’t understand?”
chan was silent again, eyeing everything but elsy. he knew she was staring at him, wanting an explanation of what he meant. and chan let the words slip out of his mouth. “you don’t understand because you haven’t been doing anything.”
elsy furrowed her brows. “what?” she said. “did I just hear you correctly?” it felt like a slap in the face for elsy, she knew chan knew her situation on why she wasn’t working.
“no, that’s not what I meant, that came out wrong-“
“so what exactly did you mean, bang chan?!”
chan could see the hurt in elsy’s eyes. but chan just couldn’t back himself up. he stood there, hesitating which only hurt elsy more. “please, elsy. I don’t need this right now.”
“oh poor you bang chan.” elsy shook her head in disbelief. “I’m so sorry I just want to spend time with my boyfriend. but I guess you’re not on the same page since all you care about is your job.” elsy knew how much chan put effort into his work, and she didn’t want to sound selfish. but she missed chan. she missed how things were.
“I’m sorry too elsy, but I just can’t have distractions right now.”
“oh my god?!” elsy exclaimed. “so now I’m a distraction?” tears began to fall down elsy’s face. “I can’t believe you right now.”
chan realized he screwed up more as he was mentally face palming himself. “no, no-“
���I don’t want to hear it.” elsy grabbed her purse and keys to get away from chan.
“elsy, come back please.” chan grabbed her wrist but elsy shook him away. “let’s talk this out.”
“no! you said what you said bang chan.” elsy snapped. “I’m leaving since you don’t want any distractions. have a nice night.” elsy slammed the door shut, leaving chan inside the studio alone.
and he was pissed and frustrated, more at himself for not thinking everything he said through. because now he hurt elsy, and hurting elsy was something he never wanted to do now that he was in a relationship with her.
elsy on the other hand, went inside her car crying her eyes out. her and chan never really argued in their relationship so this was a first one. she didn’t know what to do.
she was confused and hurt. how did her wanting to spend time with chan and letting him now end up to this?

I like to imagine that when got7 8th is on her first date, jinyoung is camped out in the distance with a paintball gun. bonus: i'd imagine the rest of the hyung lines will also be overprotective hens, yg might be a bit worried but is still supportive, and then bb and yj are quite supportive
it’s funny because i thnk that she’d openly talk to them about it and be all excited but like once she leaves jinyoung is like “lol we gave her a headstart someone get the car” like they’d keep their distance for sure and realize that she’s a consenting adult, but they’d also watch every single move of this date

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 68- Under The Mistletoe
Tumblr media
Chapter Summary: BTS attend the MAMA Awards. Jimin and Taehyung aim to get Jennie and Jungkook to kiss under the mistletoe
Words: 8,000+
-----
In Hong Kong, BTS prepared for their performance during the dress rehearsal. They were to collaborate with GOT7, which Jen was thrilled about.
"Hey, Bam Bam, look it's your future girlfriend." Mark teased as they saw Jennie stretching from afar.
"Shush!" Bam Bam playfully shoved him away.
"And you're drooling~," Jackson exclaimed.
After she finished stretching, she spotted the members of GOT7 and waved. Just before Bam Bam was about to approach her, he stopped when he saw Jungkook.
"Babygirl."
"Yes?" she turned around, greeted by Jungkook.
"Hobi Hyung wants to go over the choreography with you to make sure you got it. You know that one part."
"All right."
After the dress rehearsal, Jennie had slipped through Bam Bam's eyes as he wanted to take time to talk to her, but like she always does, she wandered around backstage. She saw Monsta X and approached them with a smile.
"Finally get to meet you guys properly. Hi!" she bowed.
"Jennie Walker! Miss BTS! It's nice to finally meet you properly, too! I'm Jooheon. This is I.M, Hyungwon, Kihyun, Minhyuk, Wonho and Shownu."
"I'm trying not to fangirl but oh my gosh, you guys are friggin badass. I am so looking forward to your performance at the show. I can see you guys making it big, I can just feel it. And I'm proud to announce that I am a monbebe~!"
The members seemed pleased to hear that as they welcomed her with open arms. 
"What's your favorite song?" Minhyuk asked.
"Gone Bad is my favorite!"
"Oh really? Can you sing it?" Shownu asked
Jen nodded and sang out Kihyun's part, "Geurae hal mankeum haebwa oneul haruneun. Eodikkaji galji hanbeon nareul jigyeobollae."
"Wow~. I love it." Kihyun applauded.
"Continue." Jooheon challenged
"Okay." she accepted and started feeling herself while rapping to Jooheon, "E eee eee, neon hukhago gayo. E eee eee, neon hukhago gayo."
Jooheon immediately smiled and nodded his head as he rapped with her, "E eee eee, neon hukhago gayo. E eee eee, neon hukhago gayo tto hanbange KO."
She went on while Hyungwon joined in for his verse, "Ppittureojillae. Ppittureojillae ho. Ppittureojillae. Monsta X yeah we rock the show. Ppittureojillae. Ppittureojillae ho. Ppittureojillae. Monsta X yeah we rock the show!"
"We might need to let her be the 8th member of Monsta X, now." Kihyun laughed.
"Ha! I don't think Bangtan will take too kindly to that." she giggled.
"I'm sure we can work something out." Wonho smiled, causing her face to warm up
'Lord Jesus, I was born the wrong year. He's smiling like that on purpose.' she thought.
Wonho was one fine looking guy. Everyone here was.
"So, we heard that Wonho is your bias." Minhyuk teased. "So, who is your bias wrecker? Me, right?"
"No way, it's me," Shownu added.
The members began joking around and trying to impress her with funny poses, making her laugh. 
"She doesn't have a bias wrecker because her heart belongs to me, right Jennie?" Wonho wrapped an arm around her and got closer to her face.
"Oh mah God~." she started feeling shy at how close she was to him and covered her face as he chuckled. Once she pulled herself together, she joked, "I know I'm too young for you, but I fit your ideal type because I can make some bombass ramen."
After goofing around, she asked, "Are you fellas nervous for your first MAMA Awards?" 
"Very. It's a big moment for us. Do you have any advice?" Shownu asked.
"Honestly I was freaking out during my first MAMA. It's such a big deal, y'know? Huge event. But just have fun with it. You're performing in front of thousands of people and various idols from different companies. Show them who Monsta X is and show them that you guys are here to stay and take over. You're going to do great. I'll be cheering you on."
"Thank you, we'll take that to heart." they bowed.
"I remember your performance from last year's MAMA. You performed with Block B's Taeil. You were really good up there. Great charisma." I.M spoke in English, causing Jen to smile and speak in her Native language
"Aw, really? Thank you. It's still one of my favorite performances I had on stage. You're fluent in English, right?"
"Yes, I am."
"I'm giving you a warning now since we're going to be great friends, you're stuck with me and we'll be having a lot of English conversations together."
I.M chuckled. "I'll mentally prepare. Can we take a picture for Twitter?"
"Yeah!"
Getting in the middle, Jennie posed gleefully as they considered her their new Monbebe. I.M posted the photo on Monsta X's Twitter, 'With Miss BTS herself! She's our new Monbebe! Thank you for supporting us!' 
Wandering around again, Jen saw The8.
"Jennie!" he happily waved
"Hey! It's been a while!" she rushed up and pulled him for a hug, surprising him as he shyly hugged her back.
After they pulled away he smiled softly. "You look well!"
"I'm surviving. You look great, excited for Mama?"
"A little nervous but Seventeen is working very hard."
"I saw a snippet of your performance. You guys are great! Mansae is one of my favorite songs."
"Look forward to us performing."
"Trust me, I will."
Once the show began, BTS and GOT7 performed their collab dance. Afterward, GOT7 performed If You Do and soon after, BTS came out to perform Run. Jen wore leather pants and a white leather jacket with the words, 'Love Yourself' and wore that same white butterfly necklace in their starting position. She stood back to back with Jimin.
Run...Run...Run...
Starting off with V walking to the members, they shift. Rapmon starts off and they perform.

Transitioning to the middle, Jen sang while her hair bounced every time she ran, "Dasi Run Run Run, neomeojyeodo gwaenchanha, tto Run Run Run jom dachyeodo gwaenchanha."
The camera panned to some idols who were watching the performance and it showed some IKON members smiling and lip syncing when Jen sang. One of them covered his mouth to tell one of his hyungs that she looked pretty but some fansites that were filming them caught them and thought it was cute.

Jen and Rapmon face each other.
Don't tell me bye bye!
(Run)
"You make me cry, cry!" she patted her hand over her heart
(Run)
"Love is a lie, lie!" they say in unison. "Don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me bye bye!" they push each other away
Once the chorus came again, Jen sang first this time as they danced.

The fan chants could be heard as they noticed various ARMY bombs in the crowd. Jen was having a blast on the stage and before she knew it, the song was about to end.

Don't tell me bye bye

"You make me cry, cry!"

Tumblr media
"Love is a lie, lie!"
Don't tell me, don't tell me
Don't tell me bye bye
Later on, the members watched the rest of the show. Jen had stared at Ailee in admiration when she had won best female vocal performance. She was just so beautiful and ARMY was eager to see her reaction to Ailee winning while the members teased her about it. Jen was the first to stand up and applaud when she won as well, with a proud smile on her face.
Jennie also was so proud of Hyuna when she won best dance solo performance. Her life was slayed watching Jessi and Hyuna perform. She enjoyed seeing women take the stage. Hopefully one day she will be able to do that. She saw it as inspiration that she could get there, too.
BTS had won the World Performer award, which was a proud moment for them. Jen hoped that they'd be able to win even more awards as they continued what they were doing. Ever since the Melon Awards, Jen's reactions and dancing to performances have become iconic for those that have fancams of her because they were so amusing to watch and tonight was no exception.
When CL had performed, Jen was mesmerized. The charisma, how the crowd can get behind her instantly, she hoped to be like that one day. Being able to move a crowd like that by herself. She was so hyped that the camera kept filming her while fans said, 'Same, Jennie, same'
Just like everyone else, no one expected 2NE1 to pop up as Jen freaked out, holding onto poor Jin.
"HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!"
Her reaction was bound to go viral as she also wiped a few tears when they performed Fire and I Am The Best.
And of course, once EXO had performed, she had to jam to them. She lipsynced all of Baekhyun's lines as her fansites filmed everything.
Tumblr media
"Eodun miro soge gacheotteon. Whoa na Oh, geu eodum sogeseo, nal kkaeweo jun ni moksori deullyeowa, nal dashi taeeonage hae~" she sang out, jamming around.
The members slowly turned to her and were amused. She truly loved Baehkyun. When the lights went out and Chanyeol began rapping fast, Jen got even more hyped as EXO performed a lightsaber dance break. Then, with Drop That, it became a huge party as she danced with Taehyung and Hobi who were near Suho and Chen.
Jump jump jump jump jump jump E.X.O
Jump jump jump jump we are E.X.O
While watching Baekhyun perform, she soon saw him walking towards where she and the rest of the idols were. Her butterflies came back and all those thoughts about keeping her composure were out the window. 
She soon noticed him looking her way and began to walk over to her.
'He's coming over here!?' she thought, widening her eyes. 
He extended out his hand and she immediately took it, getting pulled forward and they started jumping and dancing together. 
"Ah, she is so freaking out right now!" Namjoon laughed.
"I know. I'm surprised she didn't faint." Jin giggled.
Chen and Suho did the same with GOT7 and the rest of Bangtan nearby.
This was a moment that she'll cherish for the rest of her life and the members knew how much this meant to her. Baekhyun smiled at her and made his way back to the stage to regroup with the members. She couldn't wipe that huge smile off her face. It was nothing like being able to get hyped with one of your favorite idols like this.
Chen had blown her away with his high note and she had to lean back and place a hand over her heart.
'MY GOD! How did he do that!?' she thought
And once they performed Love Me Right, Jennie was no more good as she swayed around while standing and clapping along. Her ears were almost ringing from the screams of fans for Big Bang. Their stages were always unique. All of YG artists were. The way they were so composed and had strong charisma. She hoped to get there one day. To that point as a performer.
During the dress rehearsal, she had told G-Dragon that she hoped that BTS could have a longer stage at MAMA, and he told her that they'd get there one day. So she'll continue to work hard and remain patient for their time to shine.
When the camera panned to Jennie with Taehyung bopping to the song, she looked directly at it and smiled, pointing, "Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!"
Spotting Kiyhun and the rest of Monsta X, Jen and Taehyung began to dance with them too. During PSY's Daddy performance, fansites filmed her laughing and asking Hobi and Taehyung how the dance goes, following their moves.
Tumblr media
During Gangnam Style the camera caught her again, turning up and dancing around without a care in the world despite everyone watching her. She was dancing similar to how Taeyang was during Gangnam Style a few years ago. The members couldn't help but party with her. Jen feeling herself was such a mood and it made awards shows more enjoyable to watch because of her reactions. 
Bam Bam had soon danced his way over to Jennie, tapping her over the shoulder. Once she turned, she danced with him as BamJen shippers were delighted. Jimin was not happy when watching them dance. He felt like his ship was getting ruined and didn't like how close he was to her. 
Jungkook glanced up and saw them dancing, feeling some type of way as jealously crept up on him.
"Are you going to sit there or are you going to do something?" Taehyung asked in his ear over the loud music.
Jungkook soon thought about their conversation after the concert,
'Let everyone know that the person you want will be yours and no one is going to change that or interfere with your mission.'
Some idols were glancing at Jungkook, wondering what he was going to do. The gossip about Jungkook's feelings for his bandmate was going around fast. And it was also a known fact that Bam Bam had liked her for quite some time and was very vocal about it. The only thing stopping him right now was the dating ban.
Jungkook stood up and glanced at the 95 Liners who followed him. Dancing to the song, the three of them moved to where Jen was dancing. Jimin and Taehyung watched eagerly as Jungkook gently pulled her away from Bam Bam
"I'll take it from here," the Golden Maknae spoke.
Bam Bam and some members of GOT7 were disappointed that his moment was interrupted. But Jimin and Taehyung had low fived each other as they watched JenKook have a friendly and goofy dance battle, with Bangtan hyping them up. It certainly caught the camera's attention and made JenKook shippers happy.
Watching everyone perform tonight motivated Jen to do better and she had hoped that at next year's MAMA Awards, she would be able to blow everyone away with her charisma with Bangtan. Sometimes she felt like she wasn't doing enough. What can she do to stand out and get people talking about how much she has improved on stage? She will be practicing and working even harder to give a better performance for fans.
After the show, Jungkook went directly to Bam Bam. He wanted to have a long talk about everything.
"Can I speak with you, Bam Bam?" Jungkook asked.
Once Bam Bam agreed, they walked to a private area. "So, what's up, Jungkook?"
"It's about Jennie."
--------
"Thank you!" Jen pulled the table right inside her hotel room. 
She was so hungry after the show, she had to order room service. She felt like she deserved a big meal after the pleasant time she had at the MAMA Awards.
Her face during 2NE1's reunion performance was sure to become a new meme as she already saw her face plastered all over Tumblr and Twitter. ARMY did not waste any time to capture her reaction. After eating, she prepared to shower, shutting the bathroom door behind her. Finally, she was able to shower. The whole night exhausted her. It was overall fun but with a big award show like this, it took a toll on her body. But nothing like a hot shower to ease her muscles. Connecting her phone to a portable speaker, she put her music on shuffle and walked into the shower.
Meanwhile, back in the room, a sasaeng had crawled out from under the room service table after hearing the shower turn on. They began to place hidden cameras all over the room and called their buddy who was also around the hotel. 
"I'm in Jennie's room~! Our plan worked! I finally got in. The video is clear, right? Good." the sasaeng giggled and found her suitcase.
Opening it, they started to examine her personal belongings. They began to take some of her underwear and even took photos of her bra size. After having too much fun with her belongings, the suitcase fell to the floor and made a loud noise.
With Jennie, her stomach dropped, and she stopped everything that she was doing as soon. Hobi was not in the room yet because he was with friends so he couldn't be back yet.
Something was not right and someone was here.
What is she going to do?
Another sasaeng had walked into the room and it so happened to be someone who worked at the hotel. The same woman who had given Jennie her food. She eagerly helped the other person put Jen's stolen items under the table, including her friendship ring.
"We'll meet with the others later. Double check the cameras, and get out of here," she advised and left the room with the table.
Getting out of the shower while leaving it on, she put on a towel and disconnected her phone from the speaker to give Seijin a quick call to frantically tell him that there was someone in her room. After he told her that he was on his way with the others and security, she decided to stay in the bathroom, feeling anxious.
"Jennie~, I know you know I'm here! Come out so we can meet! I'm a huge fan~!" the sasaeng said in a teasing voice.
This was so scary. Never in her life had she ever been in this type of situation. She became anxious when she heard the doorknob rattle as the sasaeng tried to get in. She didn't know if the sasaeng had intentions of hurting her or had some sort of weapon. 
After hearing various sasaeng stories, she never thought she would be one to deal with someone breaking in. She hated this feeling. The feeling of being helpless and paralyzed with fear.
"Open up!" the sasaeng yelled, making her flinch and shed a few tears. 
The sasaeng didn't want to leave like they were supposed to. They wanted to get noticed by their bias. 
Looking around, Jennie grabbed the nearest weapon, a toilet plunger, just in case they attacked her. It wasn't much but it was something. She let out a shriek when the sasaeng began to kick at the door. After a while, they managed to break in and as soon as that door swung open, Jen couldn't even use the weapon.
"Get away from me!" Jen shouted when she was grabbed by the arm. 
The sasaeng had a tight grip, digging their nails into her skin, with that sick smile on their face. Seijin and various security guards rushed into the room, to go straight after the sasaeng while Jen screamed.
"No! No! I love her! Let me go! Let me go!" the sasaeng began struggling and managed to get detained while Seijin made sure Jen was all right. 
Jennie watched with distress as the sasaeng continued to go crazy. When they were taken away, she, still shaken up, explained what happened while in tears, holding on to Seijin. After he made a few calls, it was certain that Big Hit would be taking serious legal action over this, immediately.
If Jen didn't have her phone with her in the bathroom, who knows what could've happened? Her blood went cold as she still felt that death grip on her arm. She then looked at her suitcase which was open with her items scattered.
Anger soon overcame her, "And they had the audacity to touch my shit?!" 
She ran her hands through her wet hair, fearing for the worst of what might have been taken. When she got dressed in her pajamas, there was an investigation of how the sasaeng broke in. Clearly, the sasaeng had some connections in this hotel and someone or more people helped them sneak in.
When the members found out what had happened, they immediately rushed to her room, Namjoon being the first, running in to hug her.
"Are you hurt!?" he demanded with worry.
Jen was not happy. She was mainly angry at herself for being in that type of situation and getting so scared. She was considering taking self defense classes or something to defend herself if God forbid no one was there to save her. The members stayed with her while Seijin filled them in on everything. Yoongi, Namjoon, Jungkook, and Jimin especially struggled to keep their cool, while everyone was concerned for her safety.
Just to see how easily the sasaeng came in from a room service table was not good and they will be increasing security and doing more hotel room checks from now on.
"And we found hidden cameras." Seijin pointed out.
"You're the one with the good news, today, huh?" Jen asked sarcastically, shaking her head. "Man...hidden cameras? Unbelievable...well, I clearly made it because I now have people breaking into my hotel room."
This was sick. What if they filmed her when she was undressed?
Later that evening, Jungkook came back to her room while Hobi was showering. He was still shaken up by what had happened with Jennie. Everyone was. He had wished that he could've protected her.
Noticing something bothering her and decided to ask, "What's on your mind?"
"I'm so sorry..." she murmured, shaking her head as tears appeared in her eyes
"For what?" he asked in alarm.
"I'm so sorry, Kook..."
"Wh-what's wrong?"
"I lost the ring..." she mumbled.
"What?"
"I lost the ring, Jungkook. I-I thought they took it but it wasn't found on them. I dunno where it can be. It's not in the room, the sasaeng doesn't have it. It's gone. Th-they searched everywhere."
His eyes softened as he held her close. "It's okay."
"That friendship ring meant everything to me. Now it's gone."
"It's okay."
"How can you say that so easily?" she looked up.
"Because what we have isn't just a ring. Your safety is worth more than a ring," he responded firmly. "You or a simple ring, I'd choose you in a heartbeat. I'm just glad you're safe. That's all that matters."
There were numerous reports of Jennie being the next unfortunate victim of dealing with a sasaeng as fans had voiced their concern and hoped that she would be okay. It was going to be a while until she got over this but being with the members helped ease the tension.
-------
As a pre-birthday surprise, the members and MPD decided to prank Jin. First was a mission which was to make an acrostic poem with Hong Kong. When Jin was declared the winner, he was shocked.
"Why me?" Jin asked, flustered.
Since he was the winner, he went out with MPD while the production crew gave the members instructions. They were to have the lights off and the members not in the room but only a woman lying in the bed as they hoped that Jin would fall for the plan.
"Yo, V cannot keep a secret. He kept mentioning Jin's birthday." Jen said on camera while they hid in the bathroom.
"He mentioned it twice!" Rapmon added
'Trust me, I know.' Jungkook thought about the various times V almost blurted out his feelings for Jennie. 
Thankfully Jimin kept him in check. After a while, Jin came back and entered the room with MPD, only to jump when the girl screamed from the bed. Jin instantly jumped and began shaking.
"What, what, what is going on!?" he exclaimed.
"Happy birthday to you~!" the members walked out with a cake while laughing. Jin continued to stand there, stunned while Jimin held onto him. "Happy birthday to our beloved Jin Hyung! Happy birthday to you!"
"I was so startled!" Jin exclaimed after blowing out the candles. "I was like what? Who's that?"
"Did you fall for our plan?" J-Hope asked
"I did!"
When it was officially Jin's birthday, backstage during a music show, Suga and Jimin started a V-Live and walked over to Jin with a cake. Everyone had sung happy birthday to him.
"Whaaaaaa!" Suga yelled while the members butt in the camera to get in the frame.
"It's so good to be with our members on my birthday. And it's even better to be with our fans. Give me a knife to cut the cake." the birthday boy requested.
"Here you go!" J-Hope pretended that his hand was a knife, pretending to chop the cake while the other members did the same thing. 
After getting an official knife, Jin began to cut it.
"It's blueberry yogurt," Jimin informed.
"Looks mighty tasty~!" Jen added.
"Who wants it?" Jin asked
"You first, Jin." J-Hope answered
As soon as he took the first bite, J-Hope said, "Yeeeahhh."
When he ate another piece, the members said, "Yeaaaah."
Another bite.
"Yuuuuuum!"
"It's good, right?" J-Hope asked
And another bite.
"Yuuuuum!"
"So good!" Jin answered with his mouth full.
"53,000 of our fans are with us," Suga announced.
"It's my birthday and I hope you'll be happy too. We'll do our best to show you the best performance today. So please enjoy it." Jin beamed
"Happy birthday! Bye!" they wave goodbye.
After the V-Live, Jen presented Jin with a Mario themed birthday box. "Happy birthday~!"
"For me? And it's Mario? Oh wow, thank you, Jennie." he happily accepted it and sat down with her to open it. "I have been looking forward to getting your birthday box. It was one of my top birthday wishes."
"Oh really? Well, I'm glad this birthday wish came true. I hope you like it."
Opening up the letter, Jin couldn't help but giggle. On the top was a small ship she drew with the pun, 'Oh ship! It's your birthday!'
To my precious Jin,
Ah, you're getting older! But as each year goes by, you get more handsome. Just ask those who call you the car door guy back at the Melon Awards. Thank you for always taking care of me over the years. You have always looked out for me. Even that time when I was embarrassed when my period came unexpectedly and you were there and washed my sheets for me and took me to the store to buy what I needed. And as much as I hated that time when you forced me to take medicine when I got sick for the first time in Korea, I'm glad you did because even though we were just getting to know each other, you were concerned about me and wanted to help me.
You have no idea how proud you make me when I see you dance. I can definitely see the improvement and I hope you can too because your hard work is paying off. You have been working diligently on everything and just know that we appreciate all that you do. I will continue to help you clean and cook for the members. I don't want you to do all the work by yourself. I'll always be there to help you out. Oh yeah, and thanks for increasing my appetite because you were the main one wanting me to eat more when I came here. I want to be a part of Eat Jin soon, so invite me to your show!
Your laugh is one of my favorite things about you. It's contagious and I will continue to tease you about it. I also love your silly dad jokes. I swear I be like the only one laughing because of how silly they are but I always appreciate them. There are times when I think about them and start laughing and then the members stare at me like I'm crazy, haha. Including you! But you're the reason for my random laughter. Happy birthday and I wish you many more happy, safe, and healthy birthdays to come.
Love,
Your precious Jennie
After he had read the letter, he wrapped his arms around her for a tight hug and began giving her kisses all over her face as she tried to escape while laughing.
As the days went by in December, BTS promoted Run on music shows. During one show, V had the opportunity to MC. The members were very eager to watch him in action. Jennie wondered when she'd have that random opportunity to MC for a music show. It seemed a bit intimidating with the script and having to do all this random stuff. But she hoped that when it was her time to do so, it would be fun and a great learning experience.
"Ah shit, I accidentally got foundation on your face." she noticed some of her makeup on the side of Tae's cheek after she kissed him for good luck. 
That helped calm his nerves since he was so nervous about MCing and he began to laugh at her struggling to wipe the brown makeup off. 
"Stop laughing! I'm tryna help!" she giggled
"Hehehe, thank you, I needed this laugh." He responded as a stylist came to fix his makeup.
"You are going to be just fine. Everyone gets nervous when they do stuff like this for the first time. But you're a natural on camera. You're always so silly and bring in that adorable charm that fans love. We'll be watching you backstage, cheering you on, mkay? Ennie will always support you. Don't forget that."
Taehyung gave her two big kisses on her cheeks as she laughed. 
"Oh, my gosh, Tae! You got my makeup on you again!"
And for Inkigayo with Rap Monster MCing, Jen and the rest of the members watched him from backstage.
"Bruh...I dunno what he was so nervous for. If he is, it clearly does not show on camera. Look at how smooth he is. He's doing so well." Jen said for a Bangtan Bomb.
On Music Bank, the members were hoping to get their first win for Run. Some members were asked what they thought about the possibility of getting their first win. 
Jen answered, "Prayer is a powerful thing, so I'm praying that we get this first win. And I have faith in ARMY. Things will be fine."
Thanks to ARMY's hard work, Bangtan got first place as the confetti came down on the stage. Fans screamed louder than ever for them as the members broke out into huge smiles, applauding as they received flowers from the MCs. It was nothing like getting a first win and it was something that they will honor every time they get it.
"Thank you ARMY! Love you!" Suga said over the mic.
Receiving the mic, Jen happily shouted, "ARMY, you rock! Thank you!"
"Thank you so much ARMY!" V spoke
"Thank you, everyone! Woo! We won first place!" Jimin waved as their song came on while the other idols left the stage.
Since Bangtan won first place, they wanted Jennie and Jungkook to perform Adult Ceremony to become an adult. So, making ARMY scream louder than they were before, the members continued to slowly bend down and do a little bit of the choreography while singing run and waving.
Rushing off stage, Rapmon happily said, "We got first place! Jungkookie and Ennie are now adults!"
"Thank you!" Suga blew a kiss
"Woo~ First win! Woo! BTS Run first win, woo!" Jennie yelled in front of the Bangtan Bomb camera, grabbing it and giving it a big kiss on the lens.
"We got first place! We got first place!" J-Hope excitedly yelled
"You've worked hard~!" Jungkook waved
"Wow~!" Jin showed off the award, looking at it in awe.
"We won an award!" Jimin said, with Taehyung having his arm around his shoulder.
Backstage, Jimin and Jennie were filmed together with J-Hope making funny faces in the background and hugging Jen from behind.
"Jennie, since you became an adult and won first place, what are your thoughts?" Jimin asked.
"First, ARMY, you did this for us, your hard work and dedication to supporting us is always appreciated. So again, thank you and we love you very much. And since I've become an adult, I can have all the smarties I want without no one telling me no, muhahahah~!" she laughed evilly.
"Muhahahah?" J-Hope questioned
"Muhahaha!" she answered back.
"Muhahahaha~!" he copied her.
"You two are very weird." Jimin laughed.
-------
BTS were on another episode of Weekly Idol, discussing their RUN comeback. For random dancing, Coni mentioned, "As a way to motivate them so they don't make any more mistakes, what about giving a kiss to each other."
"Oh, that's really strong," J-Hope responded as the members looked astonished
"Who? Who?" Suga called out
"Say what now?" Jen added
"That's good, the first person to make a mistake will give a member a kiss on the cheek," Coni said
As the members began to dance, it started simple with no mistakes. But once Boy In Luv came on, it looked like Jungkook had messed up.
"Time out, time out. Jungkook!" Heechul exclaimed as they both went to him and J-Hope. 
They thought J-Hope's facial expressions were way too obvious and he acted like he didn't make a mistake.
"I was a bit confused," J-Hope admitted.
"Is it better to be kissed by Jungkook or by J-Hope?"
"Wouldn't it be better if they just kissed each other?" V suggested
"WOW!" everyone shouted.
Tumblr media
Jennie began laughing loudly as she saw the two poor boys cringing and taking a step back.
"Say, 'Let's not be wrong from now on', then hug and once...twice...do that." Coni demonstrated, kissing Jungkook on the cheek as he cringed. 
Jennie giggled at his reaction. He was just too cute. Soon Jungkook and J-Hope held hands and stood in front of each other.
"Hyung, let's...not make mistakes," Jungkook said as they went to hug each other.
"Euahhhhhhhh~!" J-Hope yelled as they reluctantly got close to each other's faces. "This is cruel!"
Once J-Hope had yelled and kissed his cheek, everyone had to push Jungkook's head near J-Hope's cheek to kiss him. The boys were so happy when the torture was over.
"Everyone, this time, instead of a kiss, do one hit on the wrist," Coni revealed the next punishment.
When they continued their next round of random dancing, this time Suga got confused when I Need U came on and sheepishly tried to explain himself. He exposed his wrist out for Jungkook to hit. 
"You have to kind of like it!" Heechul explained, demonstrating getting hit and dramatically saying, "Ah!"
It seemed too inappropriate for the broadcast as the members burst out in laughter.
"No, he did not just say that!" Jen laughed.
"That's too weird!" Suga exclaimed and got hit by Jin and Rapmon afterward.
"If you get it wrong the third time, this time, the butt." Coni demonstrated.
Jennie took a step back, exclaiming, "UH! UH!"
"UH UH!" "UH UH!" They replay her shocked sound effect as everyone laughed while she protectively covered her butt with her hands.
"I will knock somebody out," she announced, getting defensive, pounding her fist once against her palm.
Taehyung had accidentally slapped her ass during the War of Hormone era in one performance at a music show. She knew fans wanted the full story of how that happened. She planned to discuss it when she went to talk to JRE in January. 
Her ass was not going to get hit by anyone. Not today. Not the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and so on. You have to earn it to touch her ass. 
Jimin and Taehyung thought about Jennie messing up and trying to get Jungkook to be the one to give her the punishment, giggling to themselves.
As they danced again, War of Hormone came on and it popped up to Jen's verse.
Of course, it did...
Strutting to the front she danced powerfully.
...but I ain't you baby, you gotta earn that. 
Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! 
I'll tell you what I want right now! 
Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! 
I ain't giving it to you right now!
She successfully got the moves right as the chorus continued. She was not letting anyone touch her booty. They can look but they can't touch. If anything, you gotta be her significant other first.
Once Boy in Luv came on, Jimin was finally caught. 
"We'll do the last punishment and after that, especially for you, we'll add another on top of that," Coni said. "The two MCs will hug Jimin and-"
"No," Jimin begged. "You don't have to do things like that." he fell to his knees and laughed
"A hug and a kiss," Heechul said while the members laughed and applauded.
Jennie, Suga, J-Hope, Taehyung and Jungkook gave Jimin pats on his butt and then he was hugged from behind by Heechul. When Jimin received kisses on the cheek, the members yelled, continuing to cringe.
During the next segment, BTS received phone calls from various fans who were very excited. The phone lines were down due to the high demand for Bangtan, which bewildered the members. One fan had spoken in English, talking to Jennie and she was moved that the fan was learning English to communicate with her. Jen made the fan feel good when she praised their English skills.
"So, what is this about Jin and Jennie wrestling?" Coni asked 
Jin and Jen glanced at each other and laughed while the members thought about the hilarious memories.
"That was a fun day." Jen happily nodded.
"That match didn't count because she cheated. I was supposed to win." Jin exclaimed
"You tapped out. It doesn't get much clearer than that, Jin."
"AHHHHHHH~!" the members said with their loud laughter filling the studio.
They had played the clip of Jennie putting Jin in an armbar and him tapping out while Jin became flustered. His ears got red as he tried to explain himself.
"Will there be a continuation?" Heechul asked. "Round two?"
"I mean, we could. You down?" Jen turned to Jin.
"I still need to win so of course." Jin nodded eagerly.
"I dunno about all that but anyway." she teased as Jin blankly stared at her. "I guess when we have some free time, we'll think of some funny promos and work on what we want to do for Jin vs Jen Part 2. Stay tuned."
As the show went on, with Rapmon struggling to cut an onion, they had their idol on the grill segment. The male members would be called Bulletproof Girl Scouts while Jennie would be called the Bulletproof Boy Scout. They recapped the female idols the boys wanted to get closest to and how Jennie was very interested in EXO. So the plan was to dance to an idol song and they'll be given Korean Beef.
"Jennie! Which EXO song would you like to perform?" she was asked.
"Call me baby~," she answered and stood up.
"Of course." Jimin giggled.
"Yes, we are fully aware that you love this group a lot. Especially Baekhyun." Coni teased.
"I hope that one day I could have the opportunity to collab with an EXO member." she brought up. "That would be so cool. I learn a lot from groups such as them when I watch them perform. It motivates me to work harder. Collabing with a group like EXO, I'm sure I can learn a lot from them. Even if it's just one member, a simple dance collab, or singing together, I'd be grateful."
"EXO if you are watching, what is your answer?" Coni asked.
As the song came on, it started with the chorus after Chanyeol's verse. It looked like she would have to do some eye-opening pelvic thrusts. She even had her hand on her crotch and thrust her hips up. It surprised the members along with her fluent body rolls and movement with the song. The MCs were impressed with her powerful movements and praised her. When Jen watched the rest of the members dance, she immediately covered her mouth when Rapmon danced to EXID's Up & Down.
When it was Jungkook's turn, he mentioned that he wasn't familiar with any IU songs and decided to dance Up & Down instead. Sure enough, being the extra Golden Maknae that he is, the MCs hyped him up while the members laughed. Jennie dropped her jaw when he started to thrust up and down.
"Whoa! Yeah! Whoa! Yeah!" the MCs yelled as he displayed a different personality once again.
'Did you hear what Jennie said on Weekly Idol!?' fans asked under Baekhyun's Instagram. 
What got everyone talking was that Baekhyun had only responded with a smiley emoji, causing everyone to flip out at the possibility.
Will SM Entertainment allow a member from EXO to collaborate with Jennie one day? 
And will Big Hit allow Jennie to collaborate with a member from EXO one day? 
These were questions on everyone's minds and it had been anticipated ever since she released that cover. It looked like they would have to stay tuned to find out.
---------
When Christmas Eve came, Jennie and Jungkook spent the day playing video games in Jungkook's room.
"Jennie, later I want you to help me bake," Jin called out, walking past the room.
"I got you, just let me know!" she answered.
Jin examined the living room of the dorm with a smile. Christmas music was playing softly in the background and the tree was decorated. After a fierce game of rock, paper, scissors, Jin was the one to put the star on the tree.
"And what are you two doing, now?" he asked when Jimin and Taehyung were wandering around the dorm.
"Put one right here...right here...right there...and there..." Jimin placed mistletoes all around the dorm with Taehyung, in hopes to finally get JenKook to kiss. 
The 95 Liners wanted this done ASAP. 
This needed to happen TODAY.
"Why are you putting so many mistletoes up?" Jin asked
"Shhh, not so loud, you want them to notice?" Jimin shushed him.
"Jennie and Jungkook? Oh my gosh, Jimin, Taehyung, this is not going to work."
"Yeah. You two should give it up. You're doing too much..." Yoongi mumbled from the couch, lying down.
"I don't think that is going to work. Just let it go naturally, all right?" Namjoon added
"Oh come on! This will be a great opportunity!" Taehyung whined.
"I dunno what we are going to do with them." Jin sighed and went to the kitchen.
Later that day, Jen helped Jin with baking tons of cookies and placed the last remaining gifts under the tree. Jungkook joined in to make sure things were in order.
Meanwhile, Jimin and Taehyung watched JenKook's every move, hoping that they would get under one of the many mistletoes they put around the dorm. They waited all day and still had no success in getting them under the mistletoe. It began to frustrate the 95 Liners. 
It wasn't until later that evening they finally yelled, "Look who is under the mistletoe~!" when Jennie was right in front of Jungkook who was by the door in the bathroom and they looked up to see a mistletoe on top of the door.
"Oh. Oh wow." Jen chuckled softly.
Jungkook looked shooked once he saw it. He was not prepared as his hyungs were looking on in anticipation and cheering. The pressure was starting to get to him and he began to feel overwhelmed. 
"I mean, you wanna...?" Jen's voice brought him back to reality as she was waiting for him to tell her what he wanted to do.
"U-uh, sorry." he quickly rushed away, flustered, going to his room.
That did not sit well with the 95 Liners.
"JEON JUNGKOOOOOOOOOOOK!" Jimin yelled in anguish, falling to his knees.
"NO!" Taehyung rushed after him with Jimin.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?! ARE YOU SERIOUS!?"
Jennie laughed at how silly they were acting. "Guys, it's all good! Relax!" she reassured. "Anyway, I gotta pee."
She, however, did deep down feel a little disappointed that he decided not to kiss her. But brushed the feeling aside. She shouldn't take it personally. He probably didn't want to be put on the spot like that. She understood.
With Jungkook who was trying to calm himself down in his room, he was a little angry at himself for chickening out but he wanted to kiss her without anyone looking. He wanted to do stuff like that in private. Alone, with no one else around or in another room nearby. But with his hyungs all around him like this, that wasn't going to work. 
If they were truly alone, he would relax and show her a real kiss like he always dreamed about.
Once it was past 12am, Christmas Day, Jen had been cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen while everyone else had settled into their room. Hearing footsteps, she glanced up to see Jungkook strolling into the kitchen to grab a bottle of water.
"Ah, so you finally came out of your room," she called out as she watched him avert his eyes and set the water down on the counter. "Am I that unkissable?" she teased.
As soon as she said that, he looked up, widening his eyes. "N-no! It's not that, i-it's just..."
"Hey, it's fine, don't worry about it. I understand. It's a lot of pressure being put on the spot like that. I'm not one for kissing in front of an audience like that, myself."
"But-"
"Kook, it's fine. Really. I get it."
"I wanted to. I wanted to kiss you."
That caught her by surprise. "Really?"
"Yeah. I wanted to. I still do," he responded and saw her smile instantly from his words.
While JenKook talked, Jimin, Taehyung, and Hobi were spying on them from afar. The three tried not to make any noise as they eagerly watched them.
"What are you two doing-"
"Shh!" they cut Jin off and brought him close to them so he wouldn't get noticed.
"Oh my gosh...if they would just look up already. I planted a mistletoe right in the kitchen." Jimin complained in a hushed voice
"I know~," Taehyung whined.
"Now, what if this doesn't work?" Jin called out
"It will work! It better work!" Jimin grabbed him by the shirt and yanked him.
"W-we can always try New Year's!"
"No! Jimin and I want this done now! Long overdue! One step closer to our wonderful ship to sail." Taehyung replied
Back with JenKook, Jennie looked at him. Something in her stomach flipped and part of her felt thrilled that he wanted to kiss her. Throughout the entire rest of the day after the first attempt, she had that feeling in the back of her mind that she wanted to kiss him. But she couldn't understand why.
Should she be feeling this way?
Jungkook soon looked up and noticed that there was a mistletoe right over him, causing butterflies in his stomach and excitement.
The boys spying on them became so giddy that their cover was almost blown when they saw them find out.
Jennie and Jungkook stood in the kitchen in a comfortable silence, glancing up at the mistletoe and back at each other.
Did she want to kiss him? Should he make a move?
Noticing him trying to figure out what to do, Jennie decided to take the lead, slowly walking forward and gently grabbing his hands. As she looked up at him, she realized how much she loved how her soft hands fit nicely with his large ones and how handsome he looked up close. 
Standing on top of his feet, she raised herself up on her tippy toes until she was right at his face. The faint Christmas music was heard in the background as they spent a moment looking at each other.
"Oh my God, oh my God, it's happening..." Taehyung fanboyed with Jimin in quiet voices as they looked on.
Jungkook watched her lean in, closing her eyes and he soon did the same until their lips met, softly. He felt so many emotions as he kissed her and even faintly tasted peppermint on her lips from the candy cane she had eaten earlier.
As soon as they saw them lock lips, Jimin and Taehyung covered their mouths before they screamed for joy. The two fell to the ground, rolling around in excitement while Hobi and Jin were jumping around in glee, back in the bedroom.
Jennie felt something strong behind such a simple mistletoe kiss with her best friend as she gently pulled away, releasing his hands. She felt her heart rate increase while Jungkook felt his cheeks flushed. 
"There. Not so bad, right?" she took a step back and smiled softly. "Merry Christmas, Kookie."
Watching her walk to her room to go to bed, Jungkook touched his lips and let out a soft chuckle, overjoyed. Her lips were softer than he expected. Big difference from Rookie King.
Reminiscing on the moment he shared with her, he wanted to kiss her more than just once like they just did. The kiss felt too quick for him and he made a promise that the next time they kissed on the lips, he'd show her a real kiss to prove how much she meant to him. 
-----
"Merry Christmas!" Taehyung dove on top of Jennie on her bed as she let out a groan. 
It was too early for this. She was just dreaming about Nike finally noticing her and allowing her to endorse their stuff.
"Merry Christmas~!" Jimin ran in to dive on top of Tae, causing her to let out another groan.
"Merry Christmas~!" Jungkook jumped on top of Jimin while Jennie continued to deal with the torture of heavy bodies on her back.
She muffled something against her pillow while the Maknae Line tried to comprehend what she was saying.
"Guys, I think we're crushing her, hehehe." Taehyung giggled as they all got off of her.
She rolled out of bed and stood up. "Ow, my back...why are y'all so damn heavy?"
"Come on, we wanna open up presents! But Jin is making us eat breakfast, first! Let's go! Get a move on!" Taehyung dragged her out of the room to meet with the rest of the members. 
Saying their good mornings, they sat to eat.
As breakfast went along, Jimin mischievously asked with a smirk, "So...did anyone get caught under the mistletoe, last night?"
Tumblr media
Jungkook instantly narrowed his eyes at him but then glanced at Jennie. She looked unfazed and not bothered by the question.
"What about you Jennie? Kiss anyone last night?" Hobi asked.
"You kissed someone last night?" Yoongi asked with sleep in his voice.
"Who'd you smooch?" Namjoon asked with interest.
"I'm just glad there wasn't any tongue." Jin blurted out
"Wow, you just exposed yourself. You were spying." Jen called out, making Jin flustered.
"Darn it Jin!" Taehyung exclaimed.
"Come on!" Jimin yelled.
"Who kissed who?" Namjoon kept asking.
"She kissed Jungkook last night!" Taehyung announced loud and proud.
Jungkook felt himself blushing and looking down. He could never get a break from his hyungs. 
"Did you like the kiss?" Hobi asked with a smile.
"Sorry, but I don't kiss and tell." she smiled and placed her dishes in the sink.
