Words: 5,000+

-----

In the morning, just like every day, BTS and Jen are awakened and put into the van, having no idea where they're going.

Jennie (Group by group, the guys left and then all that was left was V and I. So, it looks like we're a team for this mission.)

Arriving at an ice cream shop, V and Jennie were met by a friendly lady, who was waiting for them inside.

"Hi! My name is Beth, I'll be your guide today. You two will be working for me. Your aprons are in the back. Put them on, and we'll get started so I can show you the rundown of the shop."

Jennie (Hol' up. So, we're working?)

After putting on their aprons, V was jumping in excitement. "Yay, ice cream!"

"He's very jumpy, isn't he?" Beth let out a laugh.

"He's like that all the time," Jennie said with a giggle.

"First things first, we'll start with the scooping. It's a little harder than it looks with certain flavors, but you'll thank me later for the new upper arm strength." Beth explained as she effortlessly scooped up the butter pecan ice cream, placing it on a cone.

Jennie (This shouldn't be so bad. I mean, come on, who doesn't want to work at an ice cream shop? Especially on a hot day?)

V went first and easily scooped up the ice cream, placing it on a cone. But when it was Jen's turn to scoop, she found herself grunting and struggling as she slowly scooped out some of the butter pecan ice cream.

"This is harder than it looks!" She let out a nervous laugh.

Understanding her struggle, Beth reassured her, "You'll get used to it."

Jennie (This is a little embarrassing. Is my struggle on this going on the air? Gosh...)

After Beth showed them how to put ice cream in a cone, swirly style, Jen attempted first, only to make it uneven.

"You know what...this doesn't like me."

Beth giggled. "It's okay, let's try it again."

She attempted to do it again and ended up dropping the cone, surprising everyone.

Jennie (Uh...I can explain.)

Sighing loudly in annoyance, Jen cleaned up her mess while V giggled at her. "Unbelievable..." She grumbled

Jennie (This is harder than I thought.)

After five attempts, she finally managed to do a better job and moved on the learn the rest of the basics like creating an ice cream Sunday, and milkshakes, which were the easiest for Jen to create. Once they opened, V worked the cash register, taking orders, while Jennie worked the ice cream.

"Hello!" V happily greeted the customers in a cute English voice.

It was a mother and a child. V waved at the little boy, while Jennie smiled at the sight. "Can we have two chocolate ice cream cones?" The mother asked.

"Scoops? How many?"

"Oh, just one is fine."

"Coming right up!" Jennie worked the machine. "Please don't let me screw this up...please don't let me drop it~." She murmured. Thankfully getting it right, she handed the mother the cones. "Here you go! Have a great day!"

As the day went on, Jen's eyes were vibrant as she greeted each customer with V. She struggled a few times with scooping but she still tried her best and worked through it.

"V! Oh, my God! It's V!"

Hearing a group of three teen girls happily shout, V waved and tried to make small talk, before taking pictures with them.

"Can we have cherry, root beer and mango water ice?"

Making quick work to scoop up the three cups, Jennie placed them on the counter, smiling at the three ladies. But was taken aback by their high pitched shrieks.

"Jennie! Oh, my gosh, it's you!"

Feeling her face heat up by the sudden outburst, she kept the bright smile on her face. "Hello!"

"Can we take a picture with you!?"

"Yeah, sure!"

After taking a few selfies, the girls were overjoyed. "Gosh, I really miss you in Amity!"

"Yeah! But we love you even more in BTS. We'll always support your decisions."

Touched, Jennie placed a hand over her heart. "Thank you, ladies. I appreciate the love. It's true fans like you, that keep me going."

After they left, V couldn't hold in his thoughts any longer and called out her name.

"What were they talking about?" he asked.

Exhaling, she simply smiled and shrugged. "It's nothing."

Jennie (I don't want to talk about it. Every time I think about it, it just...it makes me sad...)

V (Jennie never talks about her old group. When we try to ask, she kind of brushes it aside. But I wish she would open up and tell us. It always looks like she wants to let it all out. I think it'll make her feel better. I should talk to Rap Monster, maybe he'll figure out what to do.)

When they take their break, Jennie and V sit at a table to enjoy their hard earned ice cream in a cup.

"I missed this. We always used to hang out together like this." Jennie let out a sigh.

"Yeah, but Jungkook always wants to hang with you and then Jimin tries to steal you away, hahaha."

"Well, at least we're together now, just like old times, buddy."

"Yeah, homie!" He giggled as she held his stare, disbelief shown on her face.

Did he really just say that?

The two end up laughing.

Jennie (V and I, go way back. He was the first person I met when I came to South Korea. I remember it like it was yesterday. He tried speaking to me in broken English, it was too cute, haha. He's such a kind soul, and he introduced me to the BTS members, and the rest is history. He made my experience in South Korea even better, by showing me the hot spots, and different food, it was great.)

"Hahah, remember when we were pranked to be scared? Your reaction was priceless!"

Groaning, Jennie set her head down. "Oh, my God...I don't even want to talk about that. Big Hit will never forget that day."

-----

Sitting in one of the conference rooms, Jennie watched a video on the laptop. She was told that she was going to be verified what her psychological state of mind would be.

"So...what kind of video is this?" She asked

"You'll see." 

She was told and continued to watch on. She decided to turn up the volume since it was too low and watched intently, wondering what the video was about. Suddenly, an unexpected loud scream was heard while a jump scare popped out at the screen.

"AHHHHHHHHH!"

She screamed, startled while jumping up in her seat. Her heart was racing and out of instinct, she grabbed the mouse, throwing it at the screen.

"OH SHIT!" She covered her mouth, looking at the cracked screen. She was so going to get fired. "I am SO SORRY!"

----

Bursting in giggles, V reenacted her reaction. "Please! Please don't fire me! I'll pay for the screen! I'm sorry!"

"Hush!" She playfully smacked him. "I was so upset, I offered to pay for a new screen,"

"Ah, can you believe it's been over a year since BTS has been together?"

"It's so surreal. I can't wait for more years!"

Hearing his phone ring, V answered it and put it on speaker, placing the phone on the table.

"Hello?" He greeted.

"V! It's Jin!"

"Hey, Jin!" Jennie greeted.

"Hey, Jennie! So, it's you and V working, together?"

"Uh huh. What are you doing?" V asked.

"I'm with J-Hope. We're on a yacht, right now. Eating sashimi and lobster."

"Oh really? Fancy. V and I are working at an ice cream shop. We're taking a break, eating ice cream." Jennie mentioned.

"WHAAA? I want ice cream!" Jin's loud voice was heard, making the two giggle. "J-Hope! V and Jen are eating ice cream!"

"WHAA!?" Hobi's high pitched voice was heard in the background. "I WANT ICE CREAM!"

After their shenanigans, V suggested that he call Jimin and dial his number, placing the phone on his ear. Hearing him answer, V shouted, "Jimin! What are you doing?"

"Ah! Why so loud?" He grumbled.

"Hehehe, sorry."

"I'm with Jungkook. We're cleaning planes."

"Guess where I am?"

"Where?"

"Eating ice cream with Jennie~." He teased.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" His loud scream of frustration was heard. Jimin turned to Jungkook who sat next to him. "V is with Jennie. They're eating ice cream together."

A frown came across Jungkook's face as he looked disappointed. "Awe...now I'm mad. I wanted to eat ice cream with Jennie..."

"Me, too! Lucky V!"

------

Off screen with Jungkook and Jimin, they continue to chill on the couch, taking a break from work.

Still upset, Jungkook grumbled, "How come he gets to eat ice cream with her? I wanted to eat ice cream with her...no fair."

With a sly smile, Jimin nudged him. "Hehehe, you're so annoyed. Is someone jealous~?"

Snapping his head to him, Jungkook widened her eyes, immediately shouting, "No!"

Grinning sheepishly, Jimin continued to tease him. "Are you sure~?"

"I'm not jealous!"

"Mm hm...Whatever you say Jungkookie~"

"Hyung!"

"What a nice date Jen and V are on, right now. Maybe they'll share their first kiss!"

"HYUNG!"

"Hahahaha!"

------

After work was over, they met up with Nate and Tony to discuss what they did for their jobs.

"Our team went to the Landing Field for airplanes. They let us ride the helicopter." Jimin explained while Rap Monster talked about working with Suga at the hotel and eating.

"V and I worked at an ice cream shop. My arms, feel stronger from scooping up all that ice cream." Jen announced.

"The ice cream was very refreshing." V added.

"I'm sure it was~. Thanks for rubbing it in!" Jimin teased.

"So imma think you guys made some money?" Tony asked

For Rap Monster and Suga, they made $550 dollars. J-Hope and Jin made $450 dollars. V and Jen made 460, while Jungkook and Jimin made 500 dollars. Rap Monster and Suga get first place. When Tony and Nate are asked about what the money will be used for, they found out they were going to buy some food and take the food to the less fortunate down Skid Row.

Jennie (Skid Row...donating to the less fortunate. Doing stuff like that, just makes me grateful for what I have because you never know what tomorrow may bring. I'm looking forward to helping those in need.)

Jin (When I heard that the money that we made was going to Skid Row, at first, I was taken back, a little. After we were told that we were going there, I heard, afterwards, that it's a dangerous place. I couldn't understand why we had to go there.)

"So, BTS! You guys are very fortunate. You have a million of fans. A lot of times in the hip hop community, artists and big name celebrities take what they make and give it back to people that aren't as fortunate." Nate explains.

Suga (There were a lot of times that I really wanted to donate and help but my heart seems to always come before my actions but now that I was able to take action. I thought that it was a really meaningful thing to do.)

Rap Monster (To them, it's give them back. Show them love, showing them love. It seems like they express themselves through these expressions. And so, I thought to myself, 'Ah, I can actually do something!')

'LA's ghetto area, Skid Row! Within a stunning city, this is a place shows the dark side to it.'

'In America, this is the area that has the largest homeless population'

'For your hip hop focus, you guys will share the food with them yourselves and spend a meaningful time, allowing you to reflect upon yourselves as well.'

Buying hamburgers and drinks, they make their way to Skid Row. Jennie looked out the window, to see all the people on the sidewalk as her heart dropped. It was saddening to look at. Meanwhile, the guys looked on, surprised at how the atmosphere changed so quickly as they pass by various tents.

Jennie (It's heartbreaking. Especially seeing kids, out there.)

Jen went on to approach several homeless people, hearing their words of wisdom.

"Never forget where you came from. Never forget that. I don't care how rich you get, how poor you get; But you can be poor one day and rich the next day, you be back. Life's a bit of balance. Sometimes you might think that people don't appreciate but a lot of them actually do. You got a strong mouth, whatever your goal is, just keep at it. And you'll get it." One of the men told them.

Deciding to go on her own, Jennie approached a teen girl. Her hair was in a messy bun as she leaned against the wall, on the floor. Kneeling in front of her, she handed her two burgers and a drink. "Hi. Here you go."

Looking up to see who was talking to her, the girl smiled softly and accepted what she was given. "Thanks..."

"What's your name? I'm Jennie."

"Jazmine."

"How old are you?"

"15."

"I'm 16."

"What do you do?"

"I perform."

"I like to draw. My parents always tell me I have a talent for it."

Jennie nodded and looked around in her bag. "It's not much but here's a pen and a notepad. Don't give up on your passion for drawing."

"Thank you." She happily accepted it.

"Oh, and I wanted to also give you something." Jennie unhooked her necklace and handed it to her. It was a small silver necklace that had the word strength on it.

"You're giving me jewelry? Aren't you afraid I might sell it to get money for drugs or something?"

"No, because I know you won't do that. Unlike some other people in this world, I refuse to judge a book by its cover. Just because you are in the state you are in, doesn't mean you're a bad person, or do bad things. I'm giving you this necklace so you can remember to not give up. Don't give up on your dreams. If you want to draw, go for it. The pain, the suffering, it's only temporary." She grabbed her hand. "You will get through this. Push through. Stay positive. I'll be praying for you."

"Thank you...what is your name, again?"

"Jennifer. Jennifer Walker."

The girl nodded. "I'll remember that name...Thank you. I will push through. Can we pray?"

"Of course."

Jennie (I wish nothing for the best for this girl. I hope she and her family get out of this. I hope everyone gets out, of all of this. It makes me appreciate what I have. And it motivates me to help people as best as I can. Even if it's just the smallest gesture.)

'While they're meeting a lot of people, BTS is feeling an enlightenment within themselves.'

"We all know how important giving back is now, right?" Rap Monster asked the guys and they responded to him.

"Thank you, guys, y'all did a really good job." Tony praised.

"Y'all did a really good thing, you know, coming here, today and giving back to the less fortunate, ya know what I mean? I thank y'all for also being strong and brave enough to be here." Nate added.

"Y'know, a lot of people sometimes forget about people like this. You guys remember them today, even though a lot of people said thank you, a lot of people maybe didn't say thank you, everyone really, really appreciated it."

They all put their hands in the middle and throw their arms out in the air, announcing BTS!

'Once again after feeling a lot of things, BTS is going home'

-------

The next day, offscreen, Jennie and Namjoon decided to head out for breakfast. Namjoon offered to take her out, so they could talk about the album and how she's managing with the songs.

"Gosh, you have no idea how excited I am, about this new album! It's our best, yet. I'm sure everyone will enjoy it." She beamed.

Smiling at her enthusiasm, showing off his dimples, he nodded. "Me, too. What's your favorite song?"

"War of Hormone, for sure! I'm anxious to perform it."

"Don't worry, you'll fuck it up, I know you will."

"Oh, stop gassing me up." She let out a laugh.

"I'm serious! Your stage presence is improving, too. Continue strutting your stuff while we go crazy around you in the dance."

"Ah, it's my first time doing a bit of a sexy concept. I just hope it looks natural and catches the audience's interest."

"It-"

"WELL! WELL!" A loud, obnoxious voice is heard.

Turning their heads to the sudden voice, Jennie's stomach dropped when she saw who the voice belonged to. Clenching her jaw, she prayed that her emotions would be in check.

Just why?

Why now?

Of all people, of all days.

But despite the pent up frustration, she knew something like this was going to happen. It was what she feared and pondered what she would do if this day came. And it looked like the day came sooner than she expected.

The female sat next to Namjoon, ignoring him while staring right at Jennie. Eyes cold, filled with disgust and mockery. Shaking her head at her insolence, Jennie remained silent as she held her stare. 

'Don't jump over the table and grab her...don't hit her...don't make a scene...don't get filmed and put on World Star...and do not do anything to ruin your reputation with BTS. It's not right and it won't be unfair to them. That's all you gotta do and you'll be fine, Jennie...' She tried to calm herself down.

"Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise~. Who knew, I would run into the quitter? Long time, no see, quitter!"

Irked by the disrespectful nickname, Jennie remained calm on the outside. Meanwhile, Namjoon was dumbfounded but could feel the tension between the two. It was clear to him that Jennie knew this person. Very well.

Turning to the girl, he asked in English, "Can we help you?"

"Yes, yes you can. I want a little one on one time, with Miss Quitter. So, what you can do is shut up, run along and take your ass somewhere else, thank you, very much."

Slamming her fist on the table, causing everything to shake and rattle, Jennie's body began to feel hot. Eyebrows pulled down together, in irritation, she shot her a dirty look. The sudden loud sound of the ruckus led to Namjoon staring at her, in surprise. It was clear that she was livid, but he could see a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"Okay, first of all, don't come up in here and talk to him like that. Ever." Jennie said with a growl. "Who the hell do you think you are? Are you for real, right now? Did the hair dye seep into your brain, to make you think you can just talk to anyone, the way you want to? Show some respect, you ignorant ass bitch."

Gasping in amusement, the girl let out a laugh. "So mad...you're gonna cause a scene, quitter." She then turned to Namjoon. "So, are you going to leave?"

"Nah, I'm going to stay. Whatever business you have with her, I want to know." He retorted.

"Yes, stay, don't leave," Jennie told him and turned back to the girl. "I don't appreciate you talking to my leader, like that. That was disrespectful. Apologize."

"Oh? Your leader?"

"Yes, I'm her leader. And you are?" He asked.

"She didn't tell you?" The girl gasped dramatically, placing a hand over her heart. "I'm offended, quitter. I thought you had the decency to tell your little boys who made you into the performer you are today. If it wasn't for me and my father, the Vice President, might I add, you wouldn't be anything. Even in Amity. So, since you don't know me, allow me to grace you with my presence. I'm Hailey. Her old and best leader, that she's ever going to have. So, is quitter giving you a hard time?"

Jennie couldn't help but just stare at her like she had some screws loose. Best leader? Grace you with her presence? Fame really got to her, and it was sad. 

Getting irritated himself, Namjoon retorted, "For the record, she has a name. And no, Jennifer hasn't given me a hard time."

"Oh really?" Hailey shifted her attention back to Jennie. "How much did you pay him, to say that?"

Shaking her knees out of anger, Jennie remained silent, glaring right at her. She just wanted to leave. She didn't want to be here, she wanted to go back to the dorm and forget about this.

"Let's get one thing straight, she didn't pay me to say anything."

"Well, if she isn't giving you a hard time, it looks like you don't know her like I do," Hailey replied in a flat tone.

"I don't think you know her."

Exhaling sharply, Jennie turned to Namjoon with pleading eyes. "Let's just go. I don't want to entertain this." She stood up with him, making their way to the exit.

Letting out a short laugh, Hailey called her out. "You've changed! You're trying to act all big and tough, but you didn't act like that when you quit."

Fed up, Jennie marched right up to her, hissing, "I didn't quit!"

Standing up, Hailey got in her face. "Then what did you do?" She tilted her head with a smile.

'Don't hit her. Do not hit her, Jennie. It's not worth it.' She thought. She wanted to wipe that stupid smile off her face. But she managed to restrain herself. "The contract was up. It was best for me to leave."

"Jennifer," Namjoon called in a serious tone, grabbing her back by holding her hand. "Don't do anything you'll regret. She's not worth it. Let's leave, just like you wanted."

"No, by all means, let her do what she was intending to do. Were you going to hit me? You're getting so angry, is it because what I'm saying is true?" Hailey asked.

Namjoon watched as Jennie's patience was wearing thin.

So, this was the leader of her old group. As soon as they head back to the dorm, he'll be asking her what really happened. And he was going to get an explanation. A long explanation. The entire story from day one. No more beating around the bush. He could see something was bothering her.

"You quit and flew to another country and got yourself a spot in BTS. I've heard of BTS. I survived listening to your generic music. Amity is way better." Hailey bragged.

Letting out an amused laugh, Jennie snorted. "Clearly, you're deaf..."

"Um, hello? Have you heard our music? And the awards we've been getting for them? All without you."

"Congratulations. I'm happy for Amity and the group's success, with and without me."

"Don't you regret it? Regret leaving? You could've been big and even gotten that solo you wanted."

"No, I wouldn't. It would've been the same. Nothing would have changed. I'm happy where I'm at now."

"The only reason you quit is because you couldn't handle Amity. Now what makes you think you'll handle stupid K-Pop?" Hailey spat, hitting a nerve in the both of them.

Jen's and Namjoon's ears twitched at her statement.

He slowly turned his head to face her, with Jennie. What she just said, added fuel to the fire.

"K-Pop is not stupid."

"Could have fooled me," Hailey shrugged.

Jennie looked at her surroundings. Thankfully the three of them were in a secluded, VIP room of the restaurant, so no one was watching. 

Namjoon looked on. He wanted to intervene because it looked like Jen was about to lash out, but decided to look on, staying out of her way. Looking at the door were two of Hailey's security guards, blocking the entrance so no fans or paparazzi could intervene. She wanted to speak to Jennie privately and without any press.

"Okay, first of all, K-Pop is NOT stupid, it's stupendous. It's a blessing and I am proud to say that I'm a part of it. It's inspiring, it's addicting to listen to, it's fascinating. You just can't accept the fact that K-Pop is here to stay and it's getting popular year by year. Wonder Girls, Girl's Generation, Big Bang, Shinhwa, IU, SHINee, 2NE1, the list can go on and on. I guarantee you that Korean Music will continue to grow internationally. And BTS will prove that. Just you watch."

Continuing her rant, Jen demanded sternly, "Don't you ever tell me that you made me. You didn't do shit. You never helped me with my music like Namjoon has done. You never helped me with my stage presence or dancing like BTS has done. You never did anything. And you call yourself a leader? What kind of leader doesn't help her members grow and set a good example? To be someone they look up to? Namjoon does that. I did not quit. I left because that was best for me. I worked my ass off to get where I am today. To get that spot in BTS, I didn't pay anyone, I didn't do anything to sweet talk someone, I had no connections, and I had to work just as hard as the other girls trying to get the spot as the Bangtan Girl. I'll admit I get exhausted, especially with the dance practices, but I'm happy because I'm doing way more than what I was doing in Amity. You know it, I know it, the fans know it, and so do the members. Don't come up in here, and tell me that I can't handle it because my work ethic inBig Hit Entertainment is stronger than ever."

Hailey crossed her arms and glared at her, unamused and bothered at how Jennie was standing up for herself.

Not holding back, Jennie continued her rant passionately, "I got a lot to learn in this industry. It's not every day you see an American in a K-Pop group. People have high expectations, thinking if you can speak Korean and know the culture. If you can really live up to being a part of a K-pop group. I had my doubts, but BTS guided me through it all. I need to work on a lot of things, I know. My singing, my dancing, I want to rap, I want to perfect my guitar skills, I want to do a lot of things as a performer. And Big Hit Entertainment is giving me those opportunities. Do you know why? Because they care and they believe I can do it. I don't like when people want things to be a competition. I want to grow with everyone. Not see who's better than everyone else. That's your mindset, not mine. I have my weaknesses and BTS helps me with them, so they can become my strengths. And what have you done?" she gestured, looking at her up and down.

"Belittled me and told me I couldn't do it. I almost believed you when I was younger, but now, if you ever say something smart to me, again, I will not hesitate to set you straight. Touch me, and you will catch these hands. Try me. I am not the one. I am not the one you're going to talk down, to better yourself. That ends today."

Amused, Hailey decided to push her buttons by getting in her face and pointing at her. "Oh, you really think you're high and mighty, now?"

"I never said that and that wasn't my intention, don't assume stuff. And I'm going to need you to get out of my face and stop putting fingers in my face, right now."

"Or what?" She pestered on.

Exhaling shakily, Jen looked up at the ceiling, clasping her hands together. "Hailey, get out of my face."

"What are you going to do?"

"Get out of my face!" Jen said in a louder voice.

"What are you going to do, if I don't?" She mocked.

With her voice going down an octave, Jen retorted, "You have five...seconds..." 

Giggling at her anger, she put her arms up in defense and backed away, sitting back down in her seat. "It's funny seeing you mad. Let's be civil, shall we?"

Glancing at Namjoon, Jennie decided to sit back in her seat, fuming as she shot her another scowl. Tears of anger and frustration were starting to appear in her eyes. She hated how much she got a reaction out of her. Jen wanted to be the bigger person, but all that went out the window.

"You're really pathetic." she heard Hailey say.

"Am I?" Jen bluntly replied, feeling the urge to smack her.

"And despite how happy you are in your little K-Pop charade, you're really selfish for leaving."

Raising a brow, Jennie asked, "How so?"

"You gave up on Amity."

"You know what? If that's what you want to believe, then okay. I'm not going to argue with you. All this frustration you have for me, I wish that you would drop it." Jennie looked at her with sad eyes as she attempted to calm herself down. "Jealousy gets you nowhere. And it's sad that you would let that control you. Ruin a friendship. We were great pals. And ever since you got more fame, it's been starting to change and control you."

Scoffing, Hailey rolled her eyes. "Don't make me laugh. I was never jealous."

"So...who was the one that talked to your father and the rest to get me to stop dancing, hard? Namjoon declares himself as being a part of the 'can't dance line' but I don't see him ordering Hobi to not dance his best when he's one of the most talented dancers in the group." She countered. "You guys seem to be doing better without me, right? What was I supposed to do if I stayed? Get bossed around? I wasn't doing anything. I wasn't even being included like I used to. How do you think that made me feel?"

"Don't guilt trip me. That's not going to work."

"That's not my intention. I'm telling you how I felt. You know what, I'm glad you approached me today. You just motivated me to work even harder and to become a great performer. So, I hope the next time we run into each other, I'll be a better performer than I am today, and prove to you, that I can do it. It's sad that people don't want others to succeed, but I hope when I see you again, you'll have a bitter taste in your mouth, watching BTS thrive."

Letting out a dry laugh, Hailey decided to do the unthinkable and toss a glass of orange juice, directly in her face. A loud gasp escaped Jen's lips as her eyes were shut, mouth open in disbelief at what just happened.

Did she just throw a drink?

A drink.

Orange juice.

In her face?

"Hey! What was that?" Jen could hear Namjoon shout and Hailey's laugh. Jen opened her eyes, hair and clothes drenched.

All she could see now was red as she blacked out. Standing up abruptly, Jen leaned across the table to grab her but Hailey managed to jump out of her seat, escaping her hands. 

When she saw, Jennie getting out of her seat to run after her, Hailey ran behind one of her security guards while the other security guard restrained her.

"Now you want to run and hide!" Jen wiped her face, once she was released, with her path blocked by the guard. "Don't throw a drink at me and just run!"

"Well, it looks like I just did~." She heard her mocking voice.

"Get back over here! I'm not done with you! Now you just pissed me off!"

"I'll think about it...well, it was nice seeing you, quitter, but I have people to see. I'm looking forward to running into you, again." Hailey waved and left with the guards.

Sighing loudly, Jennie paced around. "I'm about to go after her-"

"No, not today. Another day." Namjoon grabbed her back by the waist, trying to calm her down.

"No! She just threw a fucking drink in my face, that's not okay!" She shouted at him.

Knowing that her shouting wasn't intended for him, he remained calm and tried to dry her off with one of the cloths. 

"I know it isn't but I need you to breathe and use your head. I know what she did was dirty and uncalled for, and I know how much you want to kick her ass but look at your surroundings. We're in public."

"Oh? Well, she certainly didn't mind throwing a drink in friggin' public, that bitch...what did she think this is? A love and hip hop episode?" She shook her head and kicked a nearby chair.

It surprised Namjoon how sweet Jennie could become so scary when irate. He made a mental note to never get on her bad side, and only pondered how she would act if they weren't in public and if she did have a physical altercation with Hailey. Part of him thought he should've just let her go after her to fight, but another part of him thought it wasn't worth it since they were in public.

One thing's for sure, this wasn't over. Not by a long shot. Hailey better watch her back.

Exhaling, she turned back to Namjoon, feeling bad for her actions. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you had to see that. And to see me so mad. I never wanted to act like that in front of you or the guys."

"Jen, I'm not judging you, we all get pissed off."

"I kind of lost my appetite. I'm just ready to go back to the dorm and take a shower."

"Me too. I'll pay the bill then we can go."

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 35- BTS Now

Chapter Summary: BTS head off to Thailand. Jen and Tae reveal that they are well aware that they're shipped constantly by ARMYs

Words: 2,000+

----

Arriving at the Incheon Airport, excited for Thailand and its warm weather since it's cold in Korea, BTS were seated on the plane. Jen sat next to J-Hope, while Jungkook sat at the window.

Filming himself, J-Hope smiled, "Okay, here we are inside the airplane to Thailand. Whoo hoo!"

He panned the camera to Jennie who was asleep. "Jennie is already sleeping. Heheh, isn't Munchkin adorable?"

"We were up last night playing video games." Jungkook laughed. "Jin Hyung tried to get us to go to bed early but we were stubborn."

"Ah, and now she's knocked out on the plane."

Finally arriving in Thailand, Jen took off her jacket, revealing a short-sleeved shirt. "It's hot as heck! Jeez! But I'll take this over the cold. We're here! Aye!" She clapped keenly in front of the camera. After arriving, they were immediately welcomed by fans and given gifts as a tradition from Thailand.

'What in Thailand is waiting for us?'

'First day morning of the photo shoot'

For the bedroom photo shoot, Jen wore a black and white pajama short set. The sleeveless top had the caption, 'Being Cute Is Not a Crime' while her shorts stopped to the middle of her thighs with her hair styled in a messy bun.

Sitting with Suga on the bed, she took his camera and started taking photos of him, while he playfully looked unamused. Then she turned to the camera that was taking photos of the photo of them, showing the camera off in her hands with a big smile. Suga just stared at her with amusement and posed with her.

For her individual photo shoot, she made her way to the window, sitting by it while having a notebook and pen in her hands, pondering what to write.

"Future songwriter in progress." Suga watched on as the video camera was filming him.

"Can I jump on the bed?" Jen asked suddenly and cheered when they allowed her to. Getting on top of the bed, she took several shots, jumping up and down with a big smile on her face. Throwing her arms and legs up in the air, she heard the shots being snapped at her before she fell on the bed, on her stomach.

"WOOOOOOOOO!" She giggled uncontrollably. This was too much fun, she needed to do this more often.

Meanwhile, Rap Monster chuckled to himself, shaking his head as he watched her. "Goofy!"

"She's tremendously bubbly this morning, isn't she?" Jin laughed.

"What cereal did she eat, this morning?"

When it was time to take photos with J-Hope, they stood on the bed with pillows in their hands. Suddenly, she smacked him in the face with the pillow, catching him off guard while the photographer happily snapped away as they had a pillow fight.

"Now I got you!" He said in a teasing tone as he began to tickle her until she admitted her defeat.

After their playtime, they sit on the bed together, sharing earbuds as they listen to music on his iPad, smiling at the camera.

'Evening, members dolling themselves up for the second outdoor shooting'

Walking outside in jean shorts, a black short sleeved shirt and a black snap back with her hair down, Jen checked out the tree, that was outside.

"That's a weird looking tree." She pointed out

"I know! What a strange tree!" Jungkook looked on. "It looks like Avatar."

"Ugh, I hated that movie." She shook her head. "It was too long."

After waiting for her turn to shoot, she took photos with Jin and Suga. They each had pinwheels in their hands, Jen had a green one and they blew on them, to make it move. For the nighttime photo shoot, for the Barbecue Party concept, the guys changed into suits while Jen wore a short, sparkly magenta dress.

"I've never done this hairdo before." She saw Jimin say on camera. "I guess I am quite embarrassed by this new hairdo?" He walked to the mirror. "Are you Jimin?" He laughed nervously.

Approaching him, she bumped him with her hip, making him laugh. "Don't listen to him, he looks handsome and the hairstyle suits him very well. ARMYs will love it, I guarantee it." She nodded in approval.

"Hehehe, thanks Jennie."

As all of them got on the elevator, Rap Monster said, "Welcome to the party for the upper class. All are dressed up and ready for the shoot."

"BTS Social Club." Jin remarked.

"I will pretend to be a rich heir. On my way to the party, I got bored. So, I brought two apartment houses."

"Wow, Rapmon." Jen laughed.

"Isn't it great?"

"Doesn't every house have at least one or two pools in it?" Jin asked.

"I have four pools in Korea, but I bought an apartment here with only one pool." Jimin added

As they all sat down, outside, each of them had glasses. Jen had a glass of cranberry juice. "I'll pretend I'm drinking wine. Fancy." She raised her glass up at the camera and took a sip.

While seated, J-Hope started to dance, acting silly, and making the members laugh.

"YYYYAAAAHHHHH!" He yelled, making Jen almost spit out her drink, while the rest continued to giggle and shout out compliments on his dancing. "WHA WHA!"

When V got up, he yelled "EH HEHE!", ridiculously, trying to make the members laugh, too.

"PFFFHAHAHA!" A high-pitched laugh was heard as the guys all collectively stared at Jen, who threw her head back, clapping. She covered her mouth and felt her face heat up. "Oh, I wonder where that laugh came from-" she tried to say but laughter took over her again, as they laughed with her.

'The Second Day'

Arriving at a tennis court, Jen wore the same Bulls shirt as Jimin and black basketball shorts, with her hair in a ponytail.

Grabbing a tennis racket, Jen walked inside the court with J-Hope and V. 

"It's been so long since I've played tennis." She said on camera as she watched V and J-Hope shoot on the court. She started laughing with Hobi when V struggled to hit the ball.

"V sucks at tennis!" Jungkook laughed, standing with Jen and Jimin.

"I think I can do better than him." Jimin pointed out. "What's wrong with his athletic ability?"

"Whoa!" Namjoon looked up in the air as the tennis ball flew over the fence.

"V! That could've hit somebody!" Jen exclaimed as he grinned sheepishly. "This isn't golf!"

After J-Hope's game with V, Jen took V's place, gripping her tennis racket tightly. 

"Go Jennie!" Jimin cheered

"Let's see how rusty I am." She tossed the ball up in the air and grunted as she hit it. Watching Hobi run across the side to hit the ball, she managed to hit the ball again, as they went back and forth.

"They are both really good! Now this is a match I would watch. She's much better than V!" Jimin giggled.

"I didn't know she would be this good at tennis. I'm impressed." Rap Monster nodded.

Although she lost to a close match, she and Hobi dance around for a victory dance, while the photographer snapped away, taking in every moment.

'The last shooting is in a pool!'

Sitting on one of the pool lounge chairs with Jin while the rest of the members were splashing their feet in the pool, Jen posed goofily with them. From waving her arms up in the air to sticking her tongue out, she enjoyed the silliness.

For the pool, she wore a white two-piece swimsuit and wore a white tank top and white shorts to cover up, expecting to just lounge and not swim.

Shirtless, both Jimin and Jungkook splash around in the pool, getting used to the coldness of the water.

"Hey, hey, Jungkookie, I have a plan. Let's get Jennie in the pool." Jimin giggled as he pointed to her lounging on the lounge chair. They watched as the photographer took photos of her. 

A mischievous glint was shown in Jungkook's eyes as he grinned widely. "Let's get her!"

Getting out of the water, they make their way to her. "Hey, Jennie!" Jimin beamed.

Looking up at them, she smiled warmly. "Aye, what up?"

"Are you gonna go swimming?" Jungkook raised a brow.

Jen shook her head as she sat up. "Nah, I'm gonna lounge here."

Frowning, Jimin shook his head. "No."

Raising a brow, she questioned him, "No?"

"You're swimming with us." He demanded.

The sudden demand of his voice caught her off guard. She didn't feel like swimming, what was the big deal?

"Jimin I wan-HEY!" She screamed as Jungkook grabbed a hold of her, pulling her up to her feet, in a strong grip. "Wait a minute! I didn't agree to this! Jungkook!"

"Alley oop!" With his strong arms, Jungkook lifted her up in the air, placing her over his shoulder.

"Time for a dip!" He laughed with Jimin as he ignored her weak punches and kicks.

"No! Stop! Please! Jungkook! No!" She yelled desperately while laughing. 

She could hear the rest of the members cackle at her begging and before she knew it, she was greeted by the cold water as Jungkook jumped in the pool.

"YAY!" Jimin cheered as he reached back up to the surface.

When Jen and Jungkook reached back up to the surface, she splashed Jungkook with water. "This water's cold! You big bunny! I told you not to bring me in here! My hair!" She laughed as she continued to splash him.

Laughing himself, he managed to grab her, but she ended up jumping on his back, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I demand a piggyback ride."

"I can live with that." He chuckled.

Before she knew it, all the members were in the pool. Rap Monster had her up on his shoulders, while Jin had Jimin up on his shoulders, playing chicken. Each of them tried to shove each other off as they couldn't stop giggling at each other.

"Defense!" The members chant, clapping their hands. "Defense! Defense! Defense! Defense! Defense!"

After using her defensive skills to help her, Jen preemptively struck Jimin off Jin's shoulders as the members around her celebrated loudly.

"Winner!" Jungkook shouted.

"Woo! I won!" Jen raised her arms in the air, in victory.

"Good game, good game." Jimin shot her a thumbs up.

'Third Day'

In the car, Jen sat next to V, while Jimin was behind them. "I want to go out." V said on camera.

"We are on the beach." Jimin announced.

"Bitch."

Slowly turning her head to stare at Tae, her eyes widen at his mispronunciation. "Excuse me?" She questioned him.

"Beach." Jimin said the right way in English.

"Bitch?" Tae said with uncertainty.

"I'm done." Jen laughed. That was unexpected but hilarious.

At the beach, Jen patiently waited for her turn to start her shooting.

'The next shooting is Bubbly Jennie'

She looked at the sight of the ocean, pointing to the view. "Look how amazing this view is!" She looked on in amazement. She could get used to a view like this.

For the beach photo shoot, she wore a black romper with a big beach hat, protecting herself from the sun.

"You put on sunscreen, right?" Jin asked while she posed for the camera.

"Yes, Jin."

"On your face, as well?"

"Yes, Jin."

"On the feet too? Can't forget about the feet, they can get sunb-"

"YES, JIN!"

Her sudden shout made him giggle as he nodded in response.

'On the same night'

'BTS Thailand Photo Mission'

After playing the ladder game, the teams were V and Jennie, Jimin and Jungkook, Rap Monster and J-Hope, and Suga and Jin. Each team had to choose a photo concept, for a competition. Whichever team won would win a prize.

"Ohhhh, V and Ennie are together? Taennie? Oh man, this is great! ARMYs are going to be thrilled." Jimin laughed and looked at the camera that was filming him. "For those who aren't aware, recently, we found out that V and Jennie have always been shipped together."

"I read some of the ARMYs tweets. It's quite fascinating." Hobi laughed.

"Hahaha, yeah, I remember Jimin showing me," Jin added.

"Are you two aware?" Suga asked.

Tae and Jennie glance at each other with knowing looks. "We know," Tae answered with a grin.

"Yeah, we're aware," Jen answered. "We think it's cute."

"We're flattered by the ARMYs. We'll make sure to show cuter moments in the future."

"We'll quench your thirst, don't worry." She guaranteed.

Both Jen and Tae were aware that as of late, ARMYs have been shipping them together. They were curious as to why. But fans usually ship everyone together. Although they're just great friends, they decided to play along, making ARMYs happy by taking goofy photos as they have a good laugh at the 'Just date!' and 'Couple goals' captions.

ARMYs shipped all members with each other in BTS, but Tae was the #1 person shipped with Jennie. Maybe that will change as the years go by, Jen was curious to find out.

"So...are you two gonna do anything about it? Is there going to be something more in the future? Give us the details! We're live on the Jimin show!" Jimin pressed on.

"Can we start discussing our concept?" Jungkook interrupted with a hint of irritation in his voice, pulling Jimin away from the group.

"So, what do you want to do with the concept?" Jen asked as she checked her phone.

"What about a playground?" Tae suggested.

"You know what? You may be on to something and I like it! Let me see if there's one nearby." She pulled up a map. "We can be high-spirited. Showing off our carefree nature, and enjoying the little things in life. I think that would be adorable."

"BOOM! Our concept is complete. Now all we gotta do is take photos. Smart thinking, Ennie."

'Start the shooting!'

'Team high-spirited'

'Jen and V'

The next morning, each team went out to their shooting. V and Jen decided to go to a local playground.

"Jennie and I decided to wear matching clothes!" Tae gestured to their clothes. Jen had a similar version of the shirt he wore but the shoulders were exposed, while they both wore shorts.

"I was going to wear this shirt regardless and then he told me that he brought the same. He brought this outfit for me on my birthday." Jen informed.

As soon as they arrived at the playground, they ran away, playing tag. After that, they enjoyed other activities such as her getting pushed by him on the swing, him jumping on her back as they took a goofy set of photos, to even blowing bubbles together as they watched with big smiles at the bubbles floating all over the place. They forgot that they were taking photos as the two friends genuinely enjoyed each other's company until they heard the camera snapping at Tae tying one of her shoes for her. After their fun, they take their final photos by holding hands, skipping along, and swinging their hands back and forth.

'Shooting Ends'

Back in Korea, Jen and Tae sat together on the couch, waving to the camera, preparing to discuss what their concept was.

"Aye! It's your girl Jennie!"

"I am V." He revealed his boxy smile, making a heart with his arms.

"And we're Team high spirited! Our concept was pretty cute."

"Yeah! We got to go to the playground and play on the swings!"

"Don't forget the bubbles. Everyone loves bubbles."

"She really loves her bubbles. I think we should start calling you bubbles. You couldn't get enough of it."

"Hahaha, whatever your heart desires, my friend. The concept was fun and it wasn't hard at all. It felt natural."

'Any Episodes during the shooting?'

"Did we?" Jen turns to V.

"Nah, it went smooth sailing. No problems at all."

"We knew where we wanted to go before it was time for shooting, the day was nice, it went bubbly."

"I forgot we were shooting at times, we were having so much fun." He lets out a short laugh.

"But we did have a time limit for the shooting, so unfortunately we couldn't explore the entire park. But we have some great photos."

'How was your teamwork?'

Jen and Tae high fived each other. "A+!" V happily announced.

As they checked out their photos, Jen and V happily giggled and freaked out over them. "Remember I almost fell off the swing?"

"Hehehe, thankfully I caught you!"

'What would we be ranked?'

"Honestly, I think we'll be first. These are great photos. They look like candid photos." V looked on. "First place! First place!"

"You heard the man, first place!"

'A long-waited photo contest has come!'

With each member sitting in the conference room, with Jen sitting in between Suga and V, each member expresses their nervousness for first place. Whoever wins will cover two pages of the photo book.

When it was time for her and Tae's photos, they showed off a photo where she was on his back with a cheesy grin on her face, having her arms up in the air. Meanwhile, Tae was grinning wider as he looked ahead.

"Yep, they won." Jin throwed his arms up in the air. His sudden statement amused the rest of the members and a chorus of laughter was heard

"We don't know yet! Don't jinx it!" Jen chuckled.

"That is some nice lighting in the photo." Suga examined the photo.

"This is too cute." Jimin smiled. "You look like a couple."

"That wasn't our intention!" Jennie exclaimed with a laugh.

"We're like this all the time, anyway." Tae beamed.

"Not intentional? Well, it will be by ARMYs." Jimin teased.

The next photo was the two of them blowing bubbles together

After the other teams show off their photos, the members drum on the table, for a dramatic drum roll, until it was announced that Tae and Jennie were the winners.

"YES!" Jen shouts, standing up on her chair with V. They both high fived each other before he pulled her in for a warm hug.

"WOO!" He cheered.

'First prize goes to the High Spirited team'

"I had a feeling they were gonna win." Rap Monster watched on.

"I called it!" Jin shouted. "I told you!"

"I envy you, guys. You and your natural photo taking with each other." Suga grumbled as they laughed.

"Congrats you two! Good concept!" Hobi cheered as they all applauded for them.

"I'm elated that our hard work paid off. We make a great team." Jen praised.

"It's all finished. We got to look at all the pictures and we are the winners!" Tae happily said.

'Everybody finishes with a warm feeling'

'A memorable time to travel and to make photos at the same time'

'BTS's Thailand story has ended'

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 32- You're Easy To Mess With

Chapter Summary: Jen celebrates her 17th birthday, her friendship with Amber grows. Some of the members attempt to mess with Yoongi & Jennie while they nap. Jen visits Angelina in LA to support her upcoming album, only for it to be crashed by unpleasant guests.

Words: 8,000+

-----

Just before dance practice was over, the members took one last break before they prepared to record a Bangtan Bomb of their hyped up version of War of Hormone. Sitting against the wall, Jen casually scrolled through her Instagram. Ever since the music video for War of Hormone dropped, critics have said that this BTS era showed off more of Jen's improved stage presence. Throughout her notifications, she would see people tag her Instagram name, showing others that she was the girl who strutted herself on stage.

'Who is this girl? What group is she in? She's American? She's cool, I wanna see more of her'

They would ask as fans of BTS would answer eagerly.

She was delighted to see that her hard work had been paying off for this era. She planned to keep up the great work and improve with each comeback. Setting her phone down, she and the rest of the members got in formation for the song as Namjoon stood in the middle. As the first beats of the song blare out around the room, Namjoon twitched before jumping up in the air, flashing his stomach.

'Yep, I can tell this is gonna be a mess. Might as well be a mess with them.' She considered with a short laugh. 

Let's see if she can be on their level of goofiness.

"Hobi! Hobi~!" Hobi squealed with a broad grin on his face, getting into position with Jungkook.

When Jimin and Tae got in their positions, Jungkook punched Tae in the stomach. Tae let out a loud, dramatic groan while Jen fought the urge to laugh at their shenanigans.

"Look over there, over there!" Yoongi shouted and pointed at Jennie, getting the guys' attention.

"WHAAOOOOOOOO~"

The guys lost their minds as she walked in front of them and the camera. Flashing the camera with a derp face, Jen wiggled her eyebrows.

After the guys freaked out, screaming and yelling outrageously, Namjoon started his verse. All the members begin to dance, acting excessively than usual.

jonjaehae jwoseo (cham) gamsahae

jeonhwa jom haejwo naega (ham) bap salge

a yojeum michin michin geo gata gichim gichim

"AHHHHHH!" Hobi screamed. 

His sudden scream caused Jen to slip and lose her balance for a second while in a fit of giggles. She played the fall off by spinning around, posing with her arms in the air, before getting back up to her feet.

"Sing it!" Jen shouted, clapping her hands together.

"Ah, you're the best!" Hobi shouted to the camera.

Rushing up to the camera, covering his eyes before revealing them with a cute grin, Tae walked back, singing his verse.

(Hello hello)

(Hello hello)

"WHAT!?" Hobi screeched.

Tell me what you want right now

"Right now!" They all shout

(Hello hello)

"WHAT!?"

(Hello hello)

"WHAT!?"

Imma give it to you girl right now

"Right now!" Hobi shouted.

"Choego!" Hobi and Jimin yell ridiculously.

"Nae mom!" Tae joined Hobi and Jimin. Rushing up to the camera, Jimin puckered his lips.

While the seven boys rushed up to the camera again, Jungkook continued as Jen jumped around in the background.

"Okay!" Hobi said with Jen as she jumped up in the air from behind.

Oh jajega andwae maeil

"YYYYYEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Taehyung let out an over-dramatic yell as a vein popped out of his neck.

Jen watched Taehyung with an amused, questioning expression. She looked at the camera, pointing to him. "He dun' lost his damn mind. What is going on?!" She questioned the silliness.

"It's the hormones, Ennie. The hormones!" Jimin answered.

"HORMONES!" She yelled, throwing her arms up in the air.

aptaedo choego dwitaedo choego

Jungkook kicked Tae in the butt as they continued to dance.

La la la la la la la la la

Getting him back, Tae kicks Jungkook in the butt.

La la la la la la la la la

georeumgeori hanakkaji choego choego

As the guys stayed in the back, Jen walked forward, putting her hoodie over her head as she rocked side to side, looking down at the floor. "Uh! Uh! Okay!"

Looking up at the camera, she began her verse in a third person perspective for the female ARMYs, "She knows she's the BEST, from head to TOE!" She shouted hysterically. Jungkook and Jimin let out a laugh. "It's completely ridiculous if you think she don't KNOW!"

"WHAT!?" The guys shout. Jimin and Hobi start shaking Jungkook back and forth as they point at her.

Kneeling on the ground, she pointed to the camera. "Her hair. Her body, her waist and legs, it's okay to stare, she knows that she looks good. Yea, she sees you starin' hard." Back on her feet, she jumped on one foot, like she was tripping, "Caught you off guard. She sees you droolin', Who are you foolin'?"

"AH! AH! Back away!" Jin shouted, shoving Jungkook away from approaching her as he fell on the floor. Tae took the opportunity to kick him while he was down.

As her verse continued to play, Jin got protective, making sure the guys stayed away from her. Meanwhile, Jen turned to the camera and jumped on Jin's back as he let out a yell of surprise. She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.

"When did I agree to this?" He exclaimed as he spun her around in circles.

"Stop hogging her!" Jimin complained.

"Give her to me!" Tae added as she got off Jin's back.

"Not another step!" Jin pointed while Jen turned back to the camera, walking forward while the guys bicker.

Oblivious to Jungkook approaching her, he bumped his hip against hers.

"Whoa!" She shouted, stumbling off to the side. Whipping her head to the side to see who bumped her, she laughed and punched him in the chest. "Not cool!"

Jungkook giggled in response as she shoved him away from her. Pointing to the camera, she sang, "And yes she's the baddest. Yes, she's a bad girl. But she ain't your baby, you gotta earn that."

Getting in position for the chorus, she sang, "Hello hello!"

"WHAT!?" The guys yell wildly

"Hello hello!" She yelled louder

"WHAT!?"

"She'll tell you what she wants right now!"

"RIGHT NOW!"

"Hello hello!"

"WHAT!?"

"Hello hello!"

"WHAT!?"

"She ain't givin' it to you, right now! She's the best and she knows it but she's not yours. She makes your body twist and turn when you in front of her!"

Tae snuck in a kiss on Jennie's cheek, catching her off guard. "That's gonna cost you smarties. My kisses aren't free, Tae." She teased, giggling with him.

"Ah! What is this!?" Jin grabbed her away. "No touching!"

"How could you!?" Jimin shouted at Tae as all the guys ganged up on him.

After their bickering, Yoongi rushed up to the camera, rapping.

"Jungkookie is going up!" Hobi said dramatically while Yoongi was lifted up in the air.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH~"

"GO SUGA GO!" Jen yelled as she and the rest of the members jumped up and down, enthusiastically. She fell on the floor as her laughter started to hurt her stomach.

Was this even a dance practice anymore? This was just too much fun. They need to have more dance practices like this.

"Hobi's going!" Tae shouted as she got back on her feet. Hobi started sliding his feet, moving forward with a big grin on his face, while the rest of the members followed his movements.

As the guys made a door, Tae scooped Jen up bridal style, while Hobi jumped on his back.

"This is a mess!" She laughed.

"Let's go~!" Hobi beamed while Tae managed to walk through the human door.

Making his way to the camera, Hobi made a heart with his hands, shouting, "I love you!"

(Hello hello)

"WHAT!?" Jen yelled with Jimin

(Hello hello)

"WHAT!?"

Tell me what you want right now

Jin began his traffic dance while the rest continued the chorus.

(Hello hello)

"WHAT!?"

"What!?"

"Because of ARMYs!" Hobi made another heart with his hands, while Jen flailed her arms around.

"We are men too!" Jimin shouted.

"Because of ARMYs!" Jimin shouted again.

"Because of ARMYs!" Tae added with Jennie.

For the break dance, Hobi and Jin grab each other's hands and jump up and down. Jimin and Namjoon do their goofy footing dance, while Jungkook and Tae grab onto each other, leaning back with Yoongi behind them.

Meanwhile, Jen decided to perform the running man dance, making her movements bigger than usual as her mouth was wide open in a big grin.

yeojaneun choegoui

Out of nowhere, Tae shoved Jimin off to the side, making him fall down. 

"Why!?" Jennie grabbed onto Tae, shaking him.

"Yah!" Namjoon shouted, looking around at the hyped mess.

This was pure chaos!

What were they? Were they sane?

La la la la la la la la la

As the song ended, Jungkook kicked Tae in the butt, making him stumble on the floor. Jimin kicked him down when he tried to get up and a chorus of laughs were heard. When the recording ended, Jen helped Taehyung back on his feet. 

"Best dance practice, hands down." She said with a smile.

"Phew, I'm beat." Hobi stretched and sat down on the floor.

Gathering up her things, Jen saw a Kumamon phone chain on Yoongi's phone. "What's that?"

"Kumamon." He answered casually.

"Cute. Is that your favorite character?"

"Yeah. yours?"

"Hello Kitty." She answered with a big smile.

"Hello Kitty, huh?" Yoongi nodded to himself, making a mental note.

----

After taking a shower back at the dorm, Jen headed to a local dog café to meet up with Amber. Spotting her waving with a big grin on her face, Jen rushed over to her, wrapping her arms around her, for a long, friendly hug.

"You're here! How you been, girl?" Amber spoke as she pulled away, gesturing her to sit down.

"I just had dance practice, so I washed up and made my way here. I'm sore, but content." Jen responded she took a seat across from her. Looking around at the variety of dogs strolling and playing around, she smiled. "This place is so cute!"

"I knew you'd like it!"

Watching a Golden Retriever puppy approach her, Jen started to pet it as it nuzzles her hand. "Ugh, so adorable. I want a dog, now. Can you take a picture of me?"

"Hehe, sure." She grabbed Jen's phone while she held the puppy in her hands, holding it close to her with a cute smile on her face.

After snapping the photo, Jen tweeted it on the BTS Twitter account with the caption, 'I'm getting puppy fever! It's so cute! I want a puppy, now!'

"Some of the members have pets and they usually live at their parents' place. If I do get a puppy, I don't have anywhere for it to stay if I'm on schedule and have to travel."

"I can take care of it with you! I live alone with my dogs!"

"You don't mind?" Jen inquired as she set the puppy down.

"Of course not! And we gotta have sleepovers soon. Get you away from all the testosterone. I know it's a workout, living with seven guys, hahah."

"I've gotten used to it but it would be nice to hang with more girls."

"Then it's settled. I'll plan a sleepover for the both of us."

"Sweet! Let me know when."

"So, if you do get a puppy, do you have a particular breed?"

"I'd like a Jack Russell Terrier. They're so adorable. Especially when they're puppies."

"Aw! I hope you get one, soon! So, how's school?"

"The only thing I love about school is my English classes. English is my favorite subject. I'm taking Honors English."

"Ooh, fancy. Planning on going to college?"

"I really want to. But I want to go to college in America. But since I'm here, I'm not sure what the future holds. Maybe I'll go to college here if I can. Who knows what BTS will become in 2017 when Jungkook and I graduate from SOPA."

Amber nodded. "I'm happy that you're serious about your education. Continue that. What other classes are you taking?"

"Oh, you know, the requirements like history, math and so on. I'm continuing my guitar classes."

"Ah, I knew you played an instrument. How's that going?"

"The class is an advanced one, so it is complex. Learning about the history of the guitar and how it's evolved. It's fascinating to learn. I try to stay after school for extra help from the teacher. It helps."

"Are you making friends at SOPA?"

"Hayoon is my best friend at SOPA. One of the sweetest people ever. She is such a great baker, too. Her cupcakes are A1! We gotta bake together. She's timid but if you continue to talk to her, she'll break out of her shell. She's currently preparing to debut in G-Friend."

"Oh wow~! That's great! I wish her the best."

"I'll be checking their debut out, giving her support. I know it's going to be great. As for other friends, I do have some. I try to communicate with everyone and say hey, every now and then."

"Haha, you're so opposite from Jungkook. I heard he's quiet and shy."

Jen nodded a couple of times. "Very. He'll come out of his shell and make close friends. I know he will. Anyone will be lucky to have a friend like him. He's always there when you need him."

"Such friendship goals." The two shared a laugh.

After getting their cups of hot chocolate and a variety of pastries, Amber asked, "So Jen, do you miss America?"

"Always. I always wonder what my sisters are doing on campus and how my parents are. I try my best to Skype, text and call." Letting out a long sigh, she resumed her statement. "Every time I think about my sisters, I realize how much I missed out on having a normal life. I love SOPA and all but it's a bit overwhelming as an idol there."

"Elaborate."

"I want to be treated as a normal student. Treat me like any other classmate. I don't want people to be nervous to approach me or anything like I'm someone superior to them. I'm a normal human being. Let's be friends, talk to me like I'm just a regular student trying to get my education, the same as you. I'm usually filmed and have pictures taken of me in class. Like dude, just say hey to me, and we'll be buddies. But I feel like all they think of me as just an idol."

"I understand what you mean, but you gotta remember that you are becoming famous. Keep in mind BTS is growing day by day. ARMYs are an impressive fan base."

"Yeah...I guess it still hasn't hit me. To be honest, I am anxious about the future. I hope the fame won't overwhelm me."

"Don't forget about the sasaengs," Amber replied in a serious tone.

Making a facial expression of horror, Jen covered her face. "Aw man, I forgot about them."

"Prepare Jen Drop. It's inevitable, unfortunately. Just be aware of your surroundings and the people around you. I don't want you to get hurt." She looked at her with worry. As Jen uncovered her face, Amber smiled and held her hand, squeezing it. "If anyone tries anything, let me know, so I can find where they live and kick their asses."

Letting out a laugh, Jen and Amber shared a smile. "I'll try my best. Gosh, I enjoy talking with you. I feel like I can express myself more in English. I'm happy that you and I get to talk in English, together."

"Me too, girl. How do you feel about your progress in the industry?"

"I feel like I'm improving day by day. I'm thankful that I'm getting more recognition for War of Hormone."

"Well, it's not hard with you strutting with your sexy self on stage. When I saw the performance, I was like, 'Yes, girl! Shake it! Shake that brass!' Speaking of Shake That Brass, I'm working on my solo album. One of the songs is called Shake That Brass. I'll be shooting the music video, soon. Would you like to be a part of it?"

Jen stared at her, astonished. She wanted her to be a part of it? Her?

"No way, really!?"

"Yeah! The more the merrier! Plus, you'll get to meet the people I hang with! It'll be fun~! What do ya say? Please? Please say yes! We'll dance together and everything. The dance isn't difficult. You'll breeze right through it."

"Sure!"

"Yay! I'll keep you updated. Let me know what Big Hit says and everything. You'll have a blast. Taeyeon is also a part of the song."

"G-Girls Generation Taeyeon?"

"Mm Hm~" Amber nodded. "She's super nice. You two will hit it off for sure."

"Can't wait!"

-----

For Halloween, as the members got their makeup done, they were filmed for a Bangtan Bomb. Jen became Black Widow for Halloween, wearing a short red wig to go with it.

"Do I look badass, now?" She gestured to the costume, giving the fans a closer look at it. "I like it! This is sick."

"Anything you want to say to ARMYs?" She was asked. 

"Have a safe Halloween and enjoy a lot of candy!" She grabbed a pack of Smarties. "Gotta have my daily dose of smarties~!" She popped one in her mouth.

"I dunno how you can eat that. There's hardly anything sweet to it." Yoongi approached her, with his hair disheveled and makeup resembling Chucky.

"I dunno, maybe it's because my taste buds are better than yours." She deadpanned.

"Pssh, no the fuck it ain't."

"Language!" She exclaimed in a scolding tone. They'll definitely have to bleep that out when they post the video. Turning to the camera, she put her hands up in defense, clearing her throat. "I sincerely apologize for Suga's language to those who aren't over the PG-14 rating."

Stepping away from the camera, Jen took selfies on her phone until Namjoon photobombed her, pretending he was going to bite her.

"Well, well if it isn't Black Widow. I wonder how your blood will taste." He played his vampire persona.

"The only blood you'll be tasting is your own when I kick you into next week, pal. Now back away if you know what's good for you." She warned, playing along in a fearless tone.

"This isn't over." He went off to his next victim, which was Jungkook.

"He looks scary." Jungkook started backing away, turning to the Bangtan Bomb camera as Namjoon approached him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Don't come near me! Don't come near me!"

"Aye! Back away from him." Jennie got involved, while Jungkook hid behind her.

"Yah! Give me the boy!" Namjoon demanded.

"You'll have to go through me, first." She stared up at him, fearlessly.

"This should be a movie. Black Widow vs The Vampire, in theaters October 31st. Catch the sneak peek on BangtanTV." Jimin looked on while Jen and Namjoon shared a laugh.

------

After they headed back to the dorm, Jen laid on top of Yoongi, as the both of them napped on the couch.

"They still sleeping??" Jimin looked on, watching them.

Recently, Yoongi and Jennie had become each other's napping partners. He enjoyed how she was easy to sleep next to and didn't irritate him while he slept.

"Have they even moved? It's been an hour." Jungkook questioned as he watched them.

"Let's mess with them." Jimin slyly suggested with an evil giggle, rubbing his hands together.

"I'm in!" Tae answered while Jungkook and Hobi also agreed.

"Your funeral," Namjoon replied nonchalantly and went back on his phone.

Hobi took out his phone and began recording as he and the Maknae line slowly made their way to the sleeping pair.

"This just in, we've found two species. The Suga and the Jen." Jimin commentated. "Two species who are dedicated to naps."

"Jen's weakness?" Hobi inquired.

"Smarties," Jungkook answered precisely.

"Suga's weakness?" Jimin asked.

"Unknown," Tae answered. "What will happen when we attempt to wake them? What we will do may be dangerous. If you see a Suga and a Jen, prepare for anything."

"Indeed. We have yet to find out what will happen if their slumber is interrupted." Jungkook added

Hearing giggles and chatter, Jen frowned at the noise. Suddenly she felt a rumble from Yoongi's chest.

"Leave us the fuck alone!" His sudden shout made Hobi yelp in fear and he ended up dropping his phone, while Jimin grabbed it to continue recording.

"MAY DAY! MAY DAY! THEY HAVE AWAKENED!" Jimin hollered.

Jen let out a sigh of irritation because of the loud noise, murmuring to Yoongi, "You want me to hurt them?"

"Yeah. That'll be great. I'll join in." He gently pushed her off him and got off the couch. Jen stretched out her arms in the air and got off the couch, too.

"Uh oh, they're awake!" Jungkook shouted.

"Take cover!" Tae yelled as he and the rest of the guys scattered around the living room, keeping their distance.

Turning their heads to each other, Jen asked Yoongi while putting her hair in a bun, "Who do you want to kill?"

"I'll take Jimin and Hobi." Yoongi responded in a dark tone, cracking his knuckles.

A loud gulp was heard from Hobi when his frightened eyes met Yoongi's glare. Screaming at the top of their lungs when Yoongi began to run after them, Hobi and Jimin jumped around the furniture and into one of the bedrooms.

"Tae and Kook it is." She dashed after them, ignoring their screams and yells. "Yeah, you better run!"

"Any mess you make, you're cleaning it up! Don't break anything!" Jin shouted from the kitchen. 

Namjoon shook his head, putting in his earphones. Even with the earphones, he could hear crashing noises, groans of pain, screaming and yelling. 

"These kids..." He said, hearing the yells from the four pranksters, as well as Hobi's loud screeching. 

"I TOLD you to not mess with my napping!" Jen yelled

"Now you four fucked up!" Yoongi shouted as the four pranksters started pleading for mercy.

"I learned my lesson! I learned my lesson!"

"Please! Have mercy!"

"Y-Yoongi I thought we were cool!"

"Spare me! I'm innocent!"

"After all that I've done for you, Jennie!?"

"I'm sorry! Don't hurt me!"

"Go away!"

"After all that we've been through!?"

"J-Jennie what are you doing with that pillow!?"

"Yoongi, don't strangle him, please!"

"What are you about to do with that pillow!"

"She's trying to suffocate him! Help Taehyung!"

"Ow! That hurt Yoongi!"

"MOMMY!"

The two of them see Hobi desperately attempting to crawl out of the room. "Please...Jin...Namjoon...help us! I beg of you-AHHHHHHH~" He screamed as he was dragged back into the room by Yoongi.

Yoongi slammed the door shut as Jin and Namjoon heard Hobi scream, "No! No, please! I'm sorry! It won't happen again!"

Raising a brow at the violent noises, Jin murmured, "Oh my..." Turning to Namjoon, he asked, "Should we be concerned?"

"Nah. They brought this on themselves. They'll know next time." Namjoon nonchalantly replied. After five minutes, Yoongi and Jen get back on the couch and nap, in the living room, like nothing happened. "Should I check on them, or should you?"

Jin let out a sigh. "I'll get the first aid kit."

Heading into one of the rooms, he found the four boys, battered, groaning in pain and clutching their most aching areas, like their heads and stomachs.

"Now what have we learned today?" Jin smiled. "This is what you get for playing around with the wrong people at the wrong time."

----

When it was finally her birthday, Jen checked her blown up notifications of birthday messages from fans, which put a smile on her face.

'You are such a great person, you make my day! I love you!'

'Thank you for sharing your talent with us. You're one of a kind in BTS! Thanks for showing us girls out there to stay happy and confident'

'Munchkin~ thank you for making me smile every time I see you!'

'Please keep being who you are! Don't ever change for anybody!

'Have a wonderful day!'

'Happy birthday to this beautiful girl!'

'Sending love from Europe!'

'Brazil loves you!'

'Come back to America!!'

'Shouting out happy birthday from America! Hope you come back home soon!'

'Stay smiling!!'

'You always catch my attention in BTS, I will always be a fan!'

'I want you to know how loved you are!'

'So thankful for this girl's existence'

'Stay healthy and don't overwork yourself!'

'Huge inspiration!'

'I'm your biggest fan!'

'Happy birthday to my bias!'

'Happy birthday to my bias wrecker who turns from cute to sexy in three seconds!'

'Happy birthday to the girl with the curls representing the curls!!'

'My baby!!'

'So happy with how far you've come!'

'She's really growing up. I'm so proud of her!'

It was positive messages like that, that gave her a boost of confidence and happiness to continue to work hard. Heading out of her room, she was greeted by the guys helping Jin create a special birthday breakfast for her, blueberry pancakes.

As soon as they saw her, they shouted 'Happy Birthday' and mob her with hugs as she laughed. "Thanks, guys!"

"A chair for the birthday girl." Namjoon pulled out the chair and she sat down.

After the birthday breakfast, Jimin pointed to the front door when they heard the doorbell ring. "I wonder who could that be!" He made his way to the door. When he opened it, a Hello Kitty mascot skipped inside.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!" The guys shouted, getting hyped out while Jennie widened her eyes, looking stunned. The mascot started dancing around as she started to laugh, standing up to hug Hello Kitty.

"All right, whose idea was this?" Jen asked with amazement as she looked on at the cuteness.

"I told the guys how much you like Hello Kitty. So, we planned this. Also, got you some Hello Kitty merch." Yoongi revealed, pointing to the gifts in the living room.

"You guys are really something else, you know that? Thank you, this is perfect." She beamed. 

Dancing around with Hello Kitty and taking photos with her, Jen and the rest of the members had a great morning.

Later, in the afternoon, Namjoon knocked on her door. After waiting a few moments, Jen opened her door to have an envelope greet her face.

"One last gift." Namjoon smiled.

"What's this?"

"Open it and see."

Gesturing for him to come into her room, they sat on her bed as he anticipated her reaction. As soon as she opened it, she saw plane tickets. Her stomach dropped when she noticed the destination.

LA.

Snapping her head up at him, she grabbed onto him. "LA!?"

"There's a note. Check it out." He let out a chuckle.

'I told your ass that you would be coming to me in America, or I would come see you in Korea! Pack your bags, girl! You're invited to my album party! I missed you! Can't wait to see ya!'- Angelina :P

Tears began to form in her eyes as she wiped them away.

"I know you miss her. She misses you too. Go see her. I know it'll boost your spirits." He mentioned.

"How'd you know I was feeling bummed?"

"I'm the leader, I notice things. You can always talk to me, you know that right? Anything that's on your mind. I'm here. Just call me and I'll be there."

"Thank you." She hugged him tight.

"Get ready, I'll come with you to the airport."

"Okay!"

They both got off her bed as Namjoon headed to her door. Turning back around to face her, he spoke up, "One more thing. Can you...can you tell Angelina that I like her rapping? Her speed and flow are incredible. I'd like to collab with her if she is cool with it."

"Hand me your phone."

He heard her demand and took it out of his pocket. After watching her type something, she handed it back.

"Tell her yourself." She said with a soft tone.

Looking back down at his phone, his eyes widened at the fact that Jennie keyed in Angelina's number on his phone. "I-I dunno what to say."

"You can start by, hey, this is Rap Monster. Jennie gave me your number. I think your rapping is dope, would you like to collab?' Or something of that nature. You'll figure out something."

Rubbing the back of his neck, he shyly replied, "Ah, I dunno..."

"Trust me, she'll be happy to see that you hit her up. She thinks, and I quote, you're sexy, anyway."

His interest increased at her sudden statement. "Oh really?" He started to grin to himself, raising a brow. "What else did she say?"

Amused at his mood change, she shook her head. "You can find that on your own, buddy. You're the one who has her number."

"S-so do you!"

"Goodbye, Namjoon. Let me pack." She playfully pushed him out of her room.

After packing up, she continued to look around in the kitchen for her stash of smarties. "Hey, Namjoon? Have you seen my bag of smarties? It was in the cabinet. The jumbo ones."

"About that..." Namjoon rubbed the back of his neck, grinning sheepishly. "I tried a couple and they weren't that bad. I moved them, though."

Rolling her eyes, Jen shrugged. "Of course, you did. Where are they?"

"Currently in my stomach as we speak."

Dropping her amused smile, she dropped her jaw. "You ate all my smarties!?"

"N-now listen-"

"Why!?"

"I-"

"Why!?"

"I'll buy you some more!"

"Oh, my gosh, what am I gonna snack on, during the plane ride?"

"When you go to America, you can buy all the smarties you want?" He chuckled hesitantly.

"I'm so over you."

After the anticipated plane ride, Jen arrived in LA with her agent, Diana. As soon as they both arrived, they were greeted by a mob of fans, screaming and having their phones out, filming.

"What the." She paused and looked around. "What? What the heck is going on?"

"Fans sat here for hours to see you arrive," Diana informed her.

"...they can't be all here for me, right? Was there another celeb on board?"

"Only you, Jen."

Still in shock, she decided to approach the fans. "Aye! What up, what up!?"

All she could hear was more screams and cheers as they called out her name. From I love yous, to Welcome Back to America, it was touching. After taking selfies and accepting some gifts from the fans, she made her way to the car with Diana.

Watching the fans try to follow them, she murmured, "This is friggin crazy, man."

So, this is how it's going to be from now on? Maybe this won't be too bad in the future.

The car ride to Angelina's mansion where she and her family lived, went quicker than expected as Jen rushed to take her seatbelt off.

"Slow down!" Diana let out a laugh as she made her way out of the car.

"BABE!" Jen heard a loud scream and got tackled down to the ground. 

She grunted loudly as her back hit the ground. Opening her eyes, she saw Angelina squeezing her to death as tears formed in her eyes.

"ANGIE!"

"I missed you so damn much!"

When they finally got back on their feet, Angelina pulled her back in for a tight hug while Jen tightly wrapped her arms around her. Pulling away, Jen tried to control her tears.

"Stop crying! You gonna make me cry, again, damn it!" Angelina wiped Jen's tears away. Stepping away from her, she took a good look at the 17 year old. "Look at you, getting all beautiful and thick. Your butt is bigger!" She poked it.

"Aye! No touchy!"

Letting out a laugh, she grabbed her hand and took her inside. "You and I have some extreme catching up to do."

"Where's the rest of the fam?"

"My mom is shopping. Dad is working, and my little brother is in his room gaming."

"Jennie!" They heard the 13 year old boy as he ran over to them.

"Ah, speakin' of the devil," Angelina said while Jen was hugged by her younger brother. "Still got a crush on my friend, Ty?"

"N-no! Shut up!" Tyrone pulled away and tried to punch her.

"Aye! Who are you swingin' at, little boy?!"

Jennie giggled at their play fighting. Tyrone took a liking to Jennie when Angelina first introduced her to him when they were back in Amity. He thought she was pretty and her smiles always got him to act giddy.

After the 19 year old beat her younger brother, sitting on top of him as he tapped out, Angelina took Jennie to her room, where she'll be sleeping over. Locking the door so Tyrone wouldn't interrupt their girl talk, Angelina sat by her desk.

Jen on the other hand, fell back on her bed, sighing at the comfort.

"You 'ight, girl?"

"Jetlagged." Jen confessed.

"Sorry for dragging you to LA."

"No, I'm happy to be here. I just realized that my body can't run 24/7. I'm exhausted, constantly on the go. I need to take better care of myself."

"Please make sure you do. Don't overwork yourself, girl. So! I wanna know errthing! How's the group? How's Namjoon?"

"Hahaha, you're so eager to know about Namjoon's well being, huh?" Jennie sat up with a smile. "He's doing great. And so are the rest of the members."

"Glad to hear that. You look so happy with them. I'm glad you left and moved on. So, Miss 17, how do you feel now that you're older? I can't believe you're about to be legal next year! I can't wait for you and I to start partying together."

"I honestly don't feel any different. Maybe once I'm 18, it'll hit me."

"What's it like for you in K-Pop?"

"Well, recently, I have been seeing that people criticize me for not looking like your ideal idol. And I'm over here like, I wasn't aware that you had to look a certain way to be in this industry. I have my own style and want to continue breaking boundaries."

"Good, continue that."

"I think I'm doing well to maintain being myself. For our recent comeback, I'm happy that I've been getting more recognition."

"Girl! Let me tell you, when I saw that music video, I was like, no way is that my Jennie, all grown up. You did that, girl. That music video was fire. BTS has great music."

"Thanks, girl! The only thing is, I hope the recent recognition for me is not because I'm acting sexier. I want to be noticed for my talents, not my sex appeal on stage, y'know? As they say, sex sells but I don't want that for myself. I don't want to be portrayed that way."

Angelina nodded, agreeing with her statement as she listened to her continue.

"The dances for our comebacks get intense every time. It's a challenge, but I'm loving every second of it."

"God, I friggin' love you. Your high spirit in the group makes me happy that you're continuing to perform. I totally gotta see you in concert."

"Well Miss 19, tell me about the rapping career!"

"I can't believe I got this far man...it's...it's a blessing, y'know? My life is so crazy now. I'm blessed to have supporters like you and my family in my life. You guys keep me in check, helping me to move forward. And now my first anticipated album reveal party is on the 14th. I'm so nervous."

"How many songs are there?"

"13."

"Who did you collab with?"

"Most of them are just me but I did manage to get Drake in one of my songs."

"No friggin' way! Angie! That's amazing!"

"He's so chill. He'll be at the party. I'll introduce you to him."

"S-seriously? THE Drake? He's coming to the party?"

"Mm hm! It's gonna be lit! I hope I can collab with Nicki soon. Wanna get a sneak peek at the songs?"

"Hell yeah!"

-----

On November 14th, Jen and Angelina were in the limo, on their way to the event. Jen wore a white two piece dress, while Angelina wore a black two piece dress with spaghetti straps.

"Ready, girl?" Angelina beamed.

"You know it."

When the limo door opened, they both stepped out, immediately greeted by paparazzi, interviewers and fans as they stood behind the red VIP ropes. Linking arms, they began to walk, waving at everyone. As they walked down the red carpet, the two of them took photos together, as they heard the paparazzi shout about two former Amity members staying in touch and still being friends.

After the photos, they're stopped for interviews.

"Jennie, how do you feel supporting your former bandmate, Angelina, in her solo career?"

She was asked as she smiled brightly. "I'm so proud of this girl. I knew she was going to make it big when I first heard her rap. I'm ecstatic!"

"I love this girl, right here. I'm so happy she's here with me, today." Angelina hugged her from the side.

"What makes your friendship with each other so special?" They were asked.

"Y'know, honestly, no matter how far we are from each other, whenever we're in different countries, we'll always be friends and keep in touch. We recently got back in touch while I stayed in America and she went to Korea. Shout out to BTS by the way!"

"Jennie, will we be seeing a solo from you, anytime soon?"

Shaking her head, Jen replied, "Nah, no solos from this one. Right now, I'm 100% focused on group songs."

"I hope she solos one day, though. I'll be waiting." Angelina nudged her.

"Will you two be collabing together in the future?"

"Never say never~" Angelina wiggled her eyebrows while Jen winked.

After heading inside the venue, Angelina made her way to the stage, greeting the crowd and giving her welcoming speech, revealing her first album, called, Angie. It was finally out on iTunes and will be in stores the next day. After the reveal, she performed one of her singles, which happened to be with Drake, which got everyone hyped. After their performance, Angelina brought Drake right over to Jen.

"This is my girl, Jennie." Angelina presented

Butterflies filled Jen's stomach as she smiled, trying to act as calm as possible. "Hi! It's nice to finally meet you!" She managed to say, starting off in a shaky tone.

"How you doin', girl?" He politely greeted her, kissing her hand. Jen let out a nervous giggle from his charm.

"I'm trying not to freak out in front of you. Can I have a hug?"

Angelina laughed at her nervousness while he happily accepted her request.

'Oh mah god, it's Drake!' Jen mouthed to Angelina as she wrapped her arms around him.

Whatever cologne he was wearing, it smelled nice.

'I know! Score!' Angelina mouthed at her.

"Jennie is very talented in singing," Angelina added.

"Oh really?" Drake turned to Jen.

"Ah, it's nothing special." Jen tried to deny it.

"Hey, maybe you two can collab, one day? Heck, even the three of us, one day. Have you heard her voice?" Angelina beamed.

"Sing a little, let me hear what you got." Drake gestured.

Jen looked at Angelina in shock, while she laughed at her reaction. Letting out a breath, she decided to sing a little bit of Alicia Keys. After singing, she smiled shyly while he nodded in approval.

"Damn, girl. That was tight."

"Really? That means a lot, coming from you. Thank you."

"She's so in denial, I swear." Angelina shook her head. As the three of them take a photo together, Jen posted the photo on Instagram and on the BTS Twitter, tweeting, 'SHOOKED! So proud of you Angie! I love you!'

After hanging with Drake, the two friends heard the paparazzi shout, "Amity! Amity! Over here!"

"The hell?" Angelina turned to the entrance with Jennie to find Hailey, Trinity and Layla strolling in. "Oh hell no. Why the hell are these bitches here?" She looked on in disgust, making her way to them with Jennie.

Jen exhaled and frowned at the situation. Of course, they would be here.

"What are you three doing here?" Angelina asked in a not so polite tone. 

Before any of the three members could respond, they started to get photos taken.

"All five members are here! Can we have a reunion photo!?" They hear the paparazzi shout

"Come on, just like old times." Hailey smiled sweetly. Jen could see right through it as she put on a fake smile for the cameras.

"Angelina! Jennie! Are you going to be rejoining Amity?" They asked.

"Nope!" Angelina and Jen answered immediately.

"That's just too bad. Well, you're always welcome to rejoin." Layla replied.

"I don't want to go to jail for murdering your leader. So, I think it's a wise choice for me to not rejoin." Angelina warned.

After the dreadful photo op, all members of Amity stand in a secluded area to talk without any cameras.

"Wow..." Angelina looked at Hailey up and down. "You got some serious balls to show up here unannounced. And you two are followers. The hell do you think you are?"

"Ouch. That's how you greet us?" Trinity asked.

"I know. The animosity is hilarious." Layla snickered.

"I just came to give my kudos to you and your album. Is that so wrong? And Trin and Lay wanted to tag along." Hailey answered.

"Yep because you're here to promote yourself and steal my spotlight like you always do. Don't you got something better to do?" Angelina spat.

"As a matter of fact, I do." Hailey turned her attention to Jennie and smiled. "Hello, Jennie, long time no see." She spoke in Korean.

Jen parted her lips, staring at her in bewilderment, speechless while Hailey continued to smile innocently.

Did she just speak in Korean? 

Why? 

How? 

Who taught her? What is going on?

"Wh-when did you learn Korean...?" Jen hesitantly asked.

"Oh, a long time ago. Why? Surprised?"

"Wipe that shit eatin' grin off your plastic face." Angelina spat at Hailey.

"Sorry, stupid girl," Hailey replied in Korean.

"What that bitch say?"

"She gave you a half assed apology and called you a stupid girl." Jennie translated with a frown.

"Stupid? I'll show you stupid." Angelina shouted before getting held back by Jen.

"Don't make me get a restraining order against you. Don't forget you're the one who affected my face." Hailey warned in English.

"And that plastic surgery didn't do much to your face."

"Why did you learn Korean?" Jennie inquired in a serious tone.

"That's none of your business." Hailey shrugged.

"You said learning it was a waste of time. Now how come all of a sudden you decide to learn the language? That isn't a coincidence."

"How's BTS, Jen? You should introduce me to your group! I'm dying to meet them! Let's see if I remember them correctly. There's Rap Monster...the leader that I met...Suga...J-Hope...V... Jimin...Jin...and one other...what's his name...? The handsome one. Ah, Jungkook?"

Letting out a shaky exhale to control herself, Jen stared at her with a serious expression. "Do not go near my boys." 

"Why not? I'm thinking about collaborating with one of them. Jungkook has a phenomenal voice-"

"You're not going near my best friend. That's not happening."

"Best friend, huh? That's cute. And you got friendship rings to lock it down, huh? What's the problem, Jennifer?"

"I don't feel comfortable with you around him or the rest of the members."

"You're acting paranoid."

"No, I just know you have bad intentions. Stay away from the Bangtan Boys. Got it?"

"Why? Think I might steal your spot?" She taunted

"Did you hear my girl? She said you're not going anywhere near her boyfriend!" Angelina snapped.

"He's not my boyfriend! Cut it out!" Jennie exclaimed

"Well, not yet." Angelina shrugged, earning a punch in the arm.

"Oh? Well, he is handsome. If you're not dating him, maybe I should." Hailey suggested

"HAHAHA!" Angelina laughed loudly. "You can forget it!"

As soon as Jen heard Hailey's statement, a force of protection overcame her as she stepped in front of her.

"Jungkook and I actually discussed this. Whoever he chooses to be with or has a crush on, he told me that he'll come to me, to get my opinion since he trusts my good judgment. And you are nowhere near an option. So, I would appreciate it if you stayed away from him, got it?"

"And who are you to tell me who I can and cannot be around?" Hailey raised a brow.

"Because I won't let someone like you, taint his mind or take advantage of him. Jungkook is a kind, gentle person. He's selfless, and always there when you need him. I'd do anything to keep that bright smile on his face. And I'll be damned if I have someone like you, hurt him. He deserves someone who can take care of him, love him for him and not for his looks, and cherish him. Someone who can make him happy. And you aren't that person and never will be. I won't let you treat him like some play toy for your own pleasure, tossing him aside when you're done with him.

No friggin' way, Hailey. You are not going anywhere near Jungkook or the rest of the members. Forget it. Get that stupid thought out of your head. I'm done with your shit."

Hailey started laughing. "That was adorable. Really. What a speech."

"You think this is funny?" Angelina snapped

Jen shook her head, looking at Hailey with disappointment. "Why can't you just leave me alone?"

"I dunno it's just really entertaining to see you freak out over stuff like this. You're easy to mess with." Hailey shrugged.

"So, you think this is a game? Let's make Jen go crazy for our pleasure?"

"Yeah, it doesn't take much to push your buttons. Especially when you choose the most personal buttons to push. I do find it enjoyable to watch you freak out and fall. I wonder how far I can go with this."

"I wonder how far my fist can go through your face."

"By all means, hit me. We're already in a public setting, anyway."

"Well, you certainly didn't have a problem throwing a drink in my face and running away afterward."

"Because I know that you're not going to do anything to me. You're scared to. Scared of the consequences. It's best if you'd stay in your lane, Jen. If you know what's good for you."

Letting out a scoff as she watched her leave with her followers, Jen crossed her arms. 

"You good? I'm about to see if I can kick her out." Angelina placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I really, really am getting tired of her shit..."

"You and me both, sister."

Later on that night, while the cameras were on all members of Amity, Hailey decided to make an announcement on camera. "Well as you know Amity has had their new album, recently." Hailey beamed while Jen and Angelina fought the urge to roll their eyes. "We have some great news for patient fans. On behalf of SongStress Entertainment, I am proud to announce that Amity will be having a world tour very soon in 2015!"

The announcement caused a lot of positive feedback while Jen and Angelina glanced at each other.

"Excuse me?" Angelina questioned. "You're really announcing this at my album party?" Her blood started to boil.

"And...we'll be touring for the first time in South Korea!"

Jen's stomach dropped as she stared at her in surprise. "You are...?"

"Yes! I wanted it to be a surprise, isn't it great?" Hailey happily asked as the cameras continued filming.

"No. It's not great." Angelina replied in a flat tone.

What the heck is going on?

After getting away from the cameras once more, Hailey approached Jen. 

"If you ever want Amity to collab with your group, lemme know."

"No."

"Think about it, Jennie. BTS could use the publicity."

"We'll earn publicity by our music. I want nothing to do with you."

"You sure? Your music isn't that good."

"The autotune in your music any better?"

"Okay, you're angry. I'll let you cool down. Tell your boys Amity will see them in Korea. I'll make sure to stop by."

"You wish."

"Just remember, Amity is better."

"Uh huh, we'll see about that." Jen waved her comment away.

After the event, Jen and Angelina are back in Angelina's room. Angelina paced around in her pajamas, still pissed off at Amity's sudden arrival.

"Yo...you have no idea how much I wanted to strangle all three of them...like are you kidding me? Are you really gonna show up to MY album event? MY event? And announce your weak ass world tour? You tried it. I should've kicked her ass."

"I'm glad you didn't hit her. I feel like she's just doing this to get a reaction out of us." Jen murmured, sitting on Angelina's bed.

"Easier said than done, right? Especially when she talked about your boys. I'm glad you stood your ground when she talked about them."

"I'm just...so protective of him and the rest of the members."

"Hey, the Bangtan Girl gotta protect the Bangtan Boys every now and then. Not just the Bangtan Boys protecting the Bangtan Girl."

Before Angelina could continue talking, she got a text message from a random number.

'Hi, this is Rap Monster from BTS. Jen gave me ur number. I think your rapping is amazing, I would love to talk with you and maybe collab with you in the future.'

"Holy shit! My night just got better!" Angelina squealed and started to become a giggling mess.

Jennie smiles to herself. 

'About time.' She thought

------

Back in Korea, Jen found herself at the school library after school, writing notes for her Honors English class. "Maybe I should've just taken a regular English..." She murmured 

The work had gotten harder, week by week with difficult books to read. But it was her favorite subject and she wanted a challenge. As she continued to have her face in her books, she heard the chair across from her being pulled out. Looking up, she saw Jungkook taking a seat.

"Hey." He grinned. "I finally remembered where you hide out."

"Ha, I don't mean to hide. I find a little solitude here, despite the constant stares and not so discrete photos and videotaping while I work."

"We can always just work at the dorm."

"I know but I like the atmosphere of libraries."

Smiling at her statement, he raised a brow. "You really like school, don't you?"

"Just English and guitar." She returned his smile and went back to her books.

Jungkook continued to watch her while she worked, admiring her work ethic. "Can I ask you something?"

"Knock yourself out, Kookie."

"I-I know you're busy with your Honors English but could you...tutor me in English?"

Placing a bookmark in her book, she closed it and met his stare. "You want me to teach you English?"

"Yes."

A smile came across her lips. "Of course, I'll teach you. Just lemme know when you want to begin." She went back to answering her homework questions in her notebook, which was due next week.

A few moments later, she felt eyes on her. She looked up, catching his stare before he shyly looked down at the table.

"N-now?"

Meeting her gaze, he nodded, revealing a cute grin across his face.

"Now."
