Words: 11,000+

Genre: RM Fluff! And Jungkook fluff!

------- On a warm Saturday morning, Jennie invited Namjoon out to hang with her. He offered to go to a local café for breakfast and she agreed, wanting to spend more time with him. Namjoon would always be stuck in his studio or with his headphones in, on his phone, so she was glad she was able to go out with him for the time being.

The two found themselves sitting outside, on the balcony. With their plates of food in front of them, Namjoon watched her in amusement as she put syrup on her chocolate pancakes.

"All that sugar." He let out a low chuckle.

"I'm still a kid at heart, let me live." She replied and took a big bite.

"I intend to. Make sure you drink water so you won't get a sugar headache. You remember last time?"

"It was all for a good cause."

"The amount of complaining you did the last time said otherwise." He quipped, causing her to roll her eyes.

"Oh, hush."

"I made sure not to get the pineapple, so you won't have another allergic reaction, by the way." He informed, gesturing to the bowl of fruit for them to share.

Jen smiled gratefully and nodded. "Thanks, I appreciate it. Nice bare face, by the way. You look great without the makeup we wear on stage."

"Ah, I'm ugly, don't lie." He shook his head.

There he goes again. She wished he could see what she saw whenever she saw him. 

Jen shook her head and pointed at him. "You, my friend, need to stop calling yourself ugly. I want you to cut that out. Like right now. You're handsome. And I get to see your dimples, so hurray!"

Her enthusiasm for his dimples prompted him to smile, which showed them off. "I love those dimples. They're so cute." She went on.

"Ah, you're gonna make me flustered." He covered his face shyly for a moment.

She laughed softly. "I just want to see you smile."

She was aware that he got criticized often as of late. And she wished that he got credit where it was due.

"It sucks you get criticized but I love how you accept your mistakes and learn from them. We all mess up at times. But we learn from them. So, don't beat yourself up, 'ight? If you say anything out of line to me, I'll let you know, believe that. And I see that you're working harder. And I hope you know that you are appreciated and that I see how much you are improving. Your dancing gets better as we go through each comeback. I don't say this often but I always think about it and you deserve a lot of credit for what you do for us. When I get there, I want to be able to make meaningful lyrics like you. You enhance me, Namjoon." She praised. "You have some deep, meaningful lyrics. The music you make is fire. It's crazy that you're underappreciated. Having you as a leader is great."

Her statement made him smile brightly and he felt good about himself. Being a leader is tough. A lot of expectations. But her words influenced him greatly.

"And I'm not one of the most popular members of the group. Some don't even want to include me as being a part of the Maknae line, and just want to support 3 out of 4." She added. "But you know? I don't even care anymore about what these negative people say. Because they aren't real fans if they can't support each member. That's not a real fan. That's not a fan in general. A fan of a group should support everyone. Not exclude one, two, or three or more. Don't let anyone take away your happiness. Bangtan wouldn't be how it is today if it wasn't for you. We all bring something unique to the group and if one of us wasn't around, it just wouldn't be the same." 

She went on to ramble as she grabbed his hand. "You have no idea how precious you are to me, Namjoon. Thank you for being a great leader. No matter how tired you are, you are always there for us. And thank you for taking such good care of me since I came here. It was such a huge transition to move to Korea but speaking English with you and learning the ropes here, I know that I'm going to be all right. Although I'm the youngest and the girl of the group I want to be there for all of you guys. And I want to take care of you all. You guys take care of me, I want to do the same."

Namjoon squeezed her hand gently as he thanked her once more. "Wow, that certainly boosted my mood. What you said just made me feel good about myself. I'll continue to work hard for Bangtan. All of you guys are doing your best. I'm very proud of all of you. And don't forget that you are also precious to us, Jennie."

As Namjoon went to use his fork, somehow, some way, his fork bent, causing both members to gawk at it. 

A brief silence occurred before Jen exclaimed, "How?!" as she pointed at the bent fork.

Namjoon grinned sheepishly. "Uh, I can explain."

After the two shared a laugh, Jen asked, "Oh, by the way, where are my headphones I lend you?"

"Headphones?"

"The ones you needed to use in the studio."

"Oh! Those..."

"Yeah, those. You have them there? I wanted them back. You do have them, don't you?"

The rapper cleared his throat and let out a nervous chuckle. "Uh, I can explain."

"You lost them?" She asked with a hint of irritation.

"I'll buy you another pair!"

"They were Beats by Dre!" She shouted.

"Ah...don't yell at me." He covered his face with his hands

"I can't believe you." She groaned. "I need to write a list of things you lose, so you can repay me."

"I'll get you another pair, don't worry. By the way, how's your rapping lessons going with Yoongi?"

The topic of rapping made Jennie smile brightly as she confidently responded, "It's great! He says I'm learning faster than ever. I'm so proud of my progress. I've been researching some underground female rappers to learn more. He gives me a bunch of homework, which has been particularly helpful."

"I heard your progress to my verse of Tomorrow. I enjoyed listening to it because you put your own style into it. You're going to be just fine with the rapping." He grinned ear to ear. "Yoongi is teaching you well. And you're keeping up with the speed."

"Thank you! It's lit!" She high fived him.

"He's not giving you a hard time, is he?"

"I like his bluntness and how strict he can be to make sure I get everything down correctly. I don't want him to sugarcoat it. When I first started, he told me, 'What the hell was that shit? That was horrible. Do it again, you didn't even listen to a word I said for this verse. Do you even want to do this?' and that made me a bit upset but I got used to it. I want him to keep it real with me, and he has. But lately, he's been smiling a lot as I progress."

"Yoongi always had a soft spot for you."

"You think so?"

"Yeah, who else would he want to nap with?"

"Haha, he told me it's because I'm comfortable to nap with and I don't move around a lot or snore. But you, on the other hand, Namjoon..."

"L-look I can't help it okay?"

"I actually was close to strangling you with my pillow when I roomed with you in the hotel room."

"That's foul, Nie Nie. Really cold."

"I love you, too, Joon. So, still talking to Angelina?"

"Yeah, I am." He smiled at the thought of her.

"You're blushing." She pointed out.

"I'm not!"

"You like her?"

"I do. I found out she likes me too."

That made Jennie smile widely. "Aw! Are you dating now!? Wait a minute, why am I now finding this out? Y'all fake. My best friend and my leader, huh?"

He let out a short laugh. "We're not. We're both busy with our careers right now. But one day."

"I ship it. She kept telling me that she physically couldn't date since she was in the prime of her career. But she really likes you, though. She wanted me to teach her some basic Korean so she can communicate with you even though you're good with English."

"Glad to hear that. Looking forward to her progress. Hey, later, can you take a picture of me for my Kim Daily photo?"

"Yeah, sure. Question, are you guys considering having V in Cypher 4?"

"Aish, not this again!" He groaned, rubbing his temples.

"Please?"

"Nie Nie, that is not happening."

"But he's-"

"No."

"But Taehyung has been pra-"

"No."

"Listen-"

"No."

"I-'

"No."

"You didn't even let me finish!"

"What?"

"I believe Taeh-"

"No."

"Namjoon!"

"Yes?"

"He will be such a lit addiction for it!"

"I understand your support for him but no, Nie Nie."

"Weak!"

After their breakfast, they walked around and he found a spot to pose for his Kim Daily. Taking his phone, she watched him get into his pose and she let out a laugh.

"What kind of pose is this? And show off that Nike wristband. Nike is bae." She added as she got ready to take the picture.

"Would you shush?" He laughed and tried to get back into position. 

Once she took a couple of photos, he tweeted one of the pictures. Jen didn't see her photo credit and decided to call him out playfully on their shared account.

'UM, Where are my photo creds?! I took this bomb ass photo! #JEN'

Namjoon looked at the tweet and laughed. "Really?"

"Yes, really! I have great photography skills, I want them to know." She replied as they walked past a couple of stores.

Namjoon decided to tweet, 'Credit to our adorable Miss Bangtan, kekeke #RM'

"Really, adorable?"

"Well, you are our baby girl." He teased. 

The two of them go shopping together and they notice Ryan, Namjoon's favorite character, merchandise. Namjoon kept eyeballing one of the big plushes and contemplated if he should get it.

"You not going to buy it?" She asked as she stood near him.

"Nah...I shouldn't." He shook his head and made his way to another section of the store. 

"Well, I think you should." She said to herself and grabbed the plushie with a smile on her face.

Later that day, in the dorm, Jen changed into her basketball attire to join Yoongi on their planned basketball date. 

Meanwhile, the Maknae line was in the living room playing video games and was about to snack on some newly brought Oreos. But as soon as they take a bite, they spit it out because instead of a sweet taste, it was mint flavored.

"What the hell?" Jimin exclaimed in English and he separated his cookie to see toothpaste inside.

"Who put toothpaste in the Oreos!?" Taehyung demanded.

"Aw, are you serious!?" Jungkook yelled with annoyance.

Jennie smirked as she heard them complain. "Score." She mentally patted herself on the back at her successful prank in their prank war. 

She wasn't going to reveal she did it to anyone because the last time she did, Jungkook made her pay severely and she didn't want to go down that road again.

Walking out of her room, she saw Yoongi waiting for her in the living room.

"Hyung, did you do this!?" Jungkook accused him.

Yoongi looked up, bored, and ignored him and the rest of the Maknae line who were whining about their ruined Oreos. His eyes turned to Miss Bangtan who was geared up in all Nike with the headband, sneakers, basketball shorts and a tank top. 

"You ready, Smartie?"

"Are you ready to lose?" She tossed him the basketball that was in her hands and he caught it with ease as a smirk appeared on his face.

"You wish."

"Did you eat today?"

"I did a few hours ago."

"No, no, eat something now. I don't want your stomach to growl while we ball."

"Aish, so stubborn. Fine." He grabbed an apple from the fridge. "Happy?"

"When you eat it." She remarked.

The two of them head to one of their local basketball courts. They stretched before preparing for a one on one match.

"First one to 10 points, wins. Each basket is one point."

"Gotcha." She checked the ball. Once she received it back, she began to dribble, walking around the court with Yoongi watching her every move, following her. 

Quickly moving her feet, she started running up to the basket, jumping high to shoot before Yoongi could block it. The ball went right in the basket and she fist pumped.

"Beginner's luck," Yoongi grumbled.

"Beginner? That's an insult Yoongi." She taunted.

Focused, Yoongi had the ball this time, with Jennie right up on him as he swiftly escaped her arms trying to block his way. 

"Shit!" He let out a curse when she stole the ball from him and made another successful shot.

"Aw, yeah! Two to zero!" She celebrated.

"Like I said...beginner's luck."

"I'm no beginner though." She stuck her tongue out. Having the ball again, she attempted to shoot an airball but Yoongi caught it just in time and shot it instead. "Really?"

"What's the matter, smartie?" He smirked as she shot him an annoyed glance.

"That was luck right there."

"Beginner's luck? I'm no beginner though." He imitated.

"Shut up." She rolled her eyes as he laughed.

Meanwhile, back at the dorm, Namjoon went to his room and saw the Ryan plushie on his bed.

"You got to be kidding." He smiled instantly and checked out the small note in front of it.

'Ta-da! You know you wanted it. I love you, Namjoon! Please continue to stay healthy and I hope to hang out together with you again very soon. <3 Jennie.'

Back to Jennie and Yoongi, as their game goes back and forth, with Jen's defense and Yoongi's offense on point, they were tied at 7 points. Dribbling the ball, Jen let out a squeal when he grabbed her from behind, picking her up to spin her around a few times as she dropped the ball.

"Hey! You can't do that! That's a foul!" She yelled after getting set down. She watched in disbelief when he took the ball and shot it in the basket. "FOUL!"

"Not in this game." He shrugged with an amused expression.

"So, you making your own rules now?" She grabbed the ball and started to dribble. "Boi if you don't-hey! Cheater!" She yelled when he effortlessly stole the ball and shot for another point.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. Not my fault you're slow." He shrugged.

"You know what...I'm gonna hurt you." She pointed to him. 

Jennie had managed to catch up to Yoongi, evading his defense both times. Tied at 9, focused on getting that winning point, Jen watched closely as he dribbled the ball. He had lost his footing and tripped, dropping the ball as he cursed loudly in surprise.

"Yes!" Her adrenaline pumped as she managed to grab the ball, dribbling it as she ran down the court. 

She jumped high to shoot but it hit the rim instead, causing her to yell out of surprise. Before she knew it, Yoongi had caught the ball and jumped up to try to shoot it. She tried to jump and use her arms to block his shot but to no avail as he won the game. 

Jen let out a sigh and took a seat on the ground. Both players were drenched in sweat and breathing heavily from their intense game. 

"Good game, smartie."

"I almost had you." She groaned.

He let out a deep chuckle and helped her up as they walked over to their bags and water bottles. Sitting on the bench, Jen took a big gulp of her water. Once she set it down, Yoongi put an arm over her shoulder as she let out a laugh. 

"You almost beat me today. You're pretty damn good for your defense. I'll teach you some more offensive skills, the next time we play B-Ball." He said with a small smile.

"That'll be great." She beamed as he placed his snapback on her head.

When they both went back to the dorm, Jen went to her room to see a small bag of Smarties on her bed and a note. 

"Ooh, who gave me these?" She eagerly approached her bed.

'I love you too, Nie Nie. Thank you for caring. And I know just where to put the plushie. In my studio. I'll think of you every time I see it. ;) '

She laughed at the winky face that he drew and went on to shower. 

After showering, she helped herself to the Smarties and decided to Facetime Bam Bam. She had a feeling he would probably be busy with dance practice but surprisingly he answered immediately and greeted her with a big smile.

"Jennie! Hey!"

"Hey!" She waved. "I'm surprised you answered, aren't you in dance practice? Sorry if I interrupted."

"Don't worry about it, we're taking a break, right now. I can always make time for you." He smiled softly.

Ever since they met, they've been face timing each other and gotten closer. Jen noticed that he was shy and nervous when they first started talking but as they continued to chat with each other, Bam Bam felt at ease thanks to her down to earth personality. Seeing her smile gave him further confidence and whenever he made her laugh, he felt prouder.

"Who is that?" She heard Jackson in the background

"Shush, I'm trying to have a conversation here!" Bam Bam tried to get away from him. Jennie laughed at the disturbance. "So, how you been? Getting enough rest? Eating well? Are you fully supplied with smarties?"

She let out another laugh and nodded. "Yep, I'm stocked up. We'll see how long they last. I just got back from playing basketball with Yoongi, so that was fun. How's everything with you and the guys?"

"Nothing's changed, we're all still goofing around, working hard. I actually wanted to ask you something."

"What's up?"

"The guys and I are planning to go bowling in a few weeks. Would you like to join us? I would love for you to come see me-us. Us. The group." He cleared his throat.

"JOIN US!" They hear Jackson yell loudly in the background

"JOIN US! The more the merrier!" Youngjae shouted

"Haha, sure, I'll join you guys." She answered.

"What did she say!?" Jackson shouted.

"She said yes!" Bam Bam cheered.

"WOO HOO! Miss you, Jennie!" Jackson appeared on camera with a huge grin.

"Why are you all up in my conversation!?" Bam Bam tried to push him away from the screen.

"Y'all are a piece of work." Jen giggled at their bickering.

-----

On June 22nd, BTS had finally gained one million followers on their Twitter account and J-Hope had tweeted about it, making an edit of himself on their page.

To add to the celebration, Jennie tweets, 'A milli, A milli, A milli, A milli! Thank you!'

'Yaman TV'

'BTS has entered the container box'

"BTS, the ones our crew devoted much effort to!" Janghoon announced while the members applauded enthusiastically with cheers. 

Jennie, wearing an oversized pink hoodie with jean shorts, sat in between Jimin and J-Hope. The hoodie went over her shorts, making it look like a dress instead.

Janghoon had reminded the members about what goes on in the show and that he was the judge for today, giving out eggs whenever he liked and taking away eggs that he didn't like. The hosts began to discuss how Bangtan has unique names, like V, Rap Monster, J-Hope and Suga. 

"Jennie, what about you?" Haha pointed out

"My name isn't anything special. It's just my name but a nickname. I don't prefer people calling me by my full name, Jennifer. It sounds like a mouthful and too much for a stage name for me, so I decided to call myself Jennie and it worked out pretty well. And it's nice to see you again, Haha."

"Likewise!" Haha smiled. "We're still waiting on the next time you'll join Running Man. You are missed. The Monday couple want their revenge." He let out a laugh.

"Oh dear." She giggled

"Her and Jungkookie were so aggressive during the tag game!" Jimin added. "They make a great team though. Don't you agree?"

The studio agreed immediately, causing the 97 Liners to feel good about themselves. 

"Her defense and his offense are a dangerous combination. I can see the both of them back on Running Man." Rapmon replied.

"I definitely want to come back on Running Man," Jen said. "I'm happy that viewers want me back on the show. And I wouldn't mind being on a couple's episode this time. Maybe Jungkook and I can team up and take on the Monday Couple. You down, Kook?"

"Absolutely." The Golden Maknae accepted the challenge, giving her an air five across the room as everyone smiled at their competitiveness.

"Those sound like fighting words. Monday Couple, beware." Janghoon said as everyone laughed. 

Haha had asked the other members about their names. Jimin pointed out that he chose to use his real name and that Baby G was another choice he could choose from. Jungkook stated that he had other choices too, one of them being Seagull.

The members split up into two teams, switching spots. Jen teamed with J-Hope, Rapmon and Jungkook for Haha's team while the rest of the members were on Mino's team.

"You have both of the Maknaes on the team!? No, there must be a mistake!" Jimin exclaimed.

"We're gonna win!" Haha happily celebrated.

After getting situated, Janghoon sat in the middle, between the two teams with the box of eggs. 

"Seemed like they were celebrating." He gestured to the orange team. He turned to the blue team who didn't look enthusiastic. "You four aren't happy?"

"Suga, aren't you being too obvious?" Haha called him out

"I actually wanted to be on Haha Hyung's team." The Dageu rapper explained.

"There's a chance to switch teams. Just raise your hand and I'll slap you." Mino spoke with a straight face as another chorus of laughter occurred. Jen clapped her hands, throwing her head back while laughing. 

When asked why he wanted to be on Haha's team, Suga answered, "Haha hyung is funnier."

Jennie, remaining quiet, sat at her seat, occasionally smiling from amusement or chuckling as she watched the banter. While Janghoon was talking, V had tried to kill a mosquito by clapping his hands. All of the orange team stood up to protest.

"Uh, uh! Take an egg away!" Jen shouted, pointing to the box while V laughed sheepishly.

"Don't interrupt others!" Rapmon shouted

"The mosquito was flying towards the judge's neck to bite him!" Mino tried to defend V

"Oh bullsh-crap!" Jen immediately covered her mouth, before the bad word slipped out, prompting the guys to laugh and the blue team to start shouting.

"Ahhhhh! Let us receive an egg because she almost cursed on TV!" The blue team yelled

"BRUH!" Jen shouted, throwing her arms up in the air. "I said crap!"

"S, word! She said the S, word! Give us an egg!" Jimin demanded.

"I'm giving you both a yellow card. No eggs for now." Janghoon let them off the hook.

"Although I respect Haha's team, I really don't like this attitude."

"What is my attitude like?" Haha exclaimed, letting out a curse, as the members cackled in response.

The blue team got an egg as V jumped and placed it in Team Blue's box. Haha had rolled his eyes and Janghoon gave Team Blue another one.

"You know what..." Jennie grumbled, feeling frustrated with Jungkook. Haha had left the studio and Janghoon gave Team Blue yet another egg. "COME ON! Why!? She exclaimed.

The first segment is the favorability test while the two teams do the body wave. The VCR for the first segment was about which of the members' arms were the most appealing to citizens.

Gathering the results:

V- 8 votes

Jin- 7 votes

Suga- 7 votes

Jimin- 10 votes

J-Hope- 6 votes

Jennie- 5 votes

Rap Monster- 9 votes

"If the orange team can get more than 18 votes, then they will win," Janghoon said as he revealed Jungkook's result, which had a bunch of stickers. Team Orange had a total of 37 stickers and was declared the winner.

"YEAHHHHH!" Team Orange celebrated, getting out of their seats. Jungkook received three eggs and placed them in Team Orange's box.

"Mosquito! Mosquito!" V stomped on the floor, causing everyone to laugh again. Suddenly, Janghoon stuck his hand back in the egg box. "No! No!" V dropped down to his feet in protest while Team Orange got another egg.

Janghoon requested an arm wrestling match between Jimin and Jungkook for one egg, and while everyone was focused on Janghoon giving another egg to Team Orange, V stole an egg from Team Orange's box. He sat back down, smiling hard.

"Let's go best friend!" Jennie shouted, clapping her hands as Jungkook faced off with Jimin, preparing for arm wrestling. "You got this!"

Jungkook smiled back at Jennie. "I'll do my best."

"Come on, you brat!" Jimin said.

The two of them sit across from each other, while their teams hype them up. Jimin and Jungkook held hands and once Janghoon let their hands go, Jungkook quickly put Jimin's arm down.

"Ayeee! Atta boy!" Jen celebrated with her team. 

Team Orange got two eggs in return. Next, Jungkook went up against team blue leader, Mino, and the Golden Maknae won yet again, in two seconds. Jennie stared at Jungkook in disbelief as Team Orange got 4 more eggs.

The next segment was the Bokbulbok test, betting for three eggs. An Aegyo battle commenced as the winner would be able to get the first choice on one of the cards Janghoon held.

"Oh Lord..." Jennie pressed her lips together. 

She was not a cute acting type of person and she got embarrassed easily when doing cute dances and actions.

"Ah, is Miss Bangtan worried?" Jimin teased.

"Shut your face." She tried to ignore him as he laughed.

Team Blue wanted to go last and as a result, had an egg taken from them. Sitting in between Haha and J-Hope, Jen watched Haha take the camera, to perform his Aegyo. He made a weird face, causing everyone to laugh. He ended up getting scolded by the judge, which caused Janghoon to allow Team Blue to take an egg from Team Orange. Haha stood up, letting out another loud curse as Jennie almost fell out of her seat from laughing so hard.

Jennie went first. She exhaled and looked at the camera. She was already cringing, and she might as well act more cringe as she thought of something random and cringeworthy to say. 

Her expression changed into an innocent one as she smiled sweetly, batting her eyes rapidly. "Can you buy me some smarties? Pretty, pretty please with a cherry on top?" She spoke in a higher pitched voice.

Everyone started laughing at her as she quickly passed the camera to J-Hope, covering her face in embarrassment. 

"That was so cute." Haha said.

"Very out of character, but adorable." Jin teased as Jen felt her body warm up from mortification.

"I cannot!" She groaned over their laughter.

"Jennie, what is your next choice? You're not done." J-hope gave her back the camera.

"I gotta do this again?" She exclaimed as everyone cracked up again. She sighed and looked back at the camera. Clearing her throat, she continued to speak in a high pitched voice, smiling cutely.

"Oppa~!" She started, feeling her face heat up even more. She never used that word, and didn't even call any of the members that, but will use it for this occasion. But as soon as she said it, the guys cracked up again, causing her to lose focus and laugh too. "Stop! I'm trying to do this!"

"Oppa~!" Jimin, Suga, V and Jin mocked her Aegyo.

After everyone calmed down, Jennie continued her Aegyo, "Oppa~! Have you eaten today? Don't miss your meals!" She tilted her head to the side, winking at the camera. Then she decided to blow a kiss. "I love you, oppa~!"

"Ahhhhh~!" The members yelled.

"Never again. Never. Again." She asserted and passed the camera to J-Hope.

J-Hope started making adorable facial expressions, murmuring, "Hobie...I'm hungry~! Buy me some meat~!" He cutely stomped his feet as everyone laughed louder when Haha let out another curse. This was just too much fun, and Jennie's stomach started to hurt from laughing so much. J-Hope continued his Aegyo, yelling, "I pooped! I took a dump!"

Rap Monster was next, "Ah hing~! I had a dream~, I dreamed of ghosts!" He said in a weird voice, over everyone's laughter. "I...pooped...I took a dump~ wahhhh~" He started fake crying.

When it was Jungkook's turn, he hesitated. 

"This isn't hard. Just read it." Janghoon pointed out before everyone laughed again while Haha cursed. Jennie started stomping her feet as she laughed. Because he cursed yet again, V took another egg.

"I had a dream. I dreamed of ghosts." Jungkook started off, not as cute as everyone thought. "Ha...I pooped!"

Next was Jin, who blinked at the camera, speaking in a cute voice, "I had a dream. I dreamed about ghosts~." He let out a yell. "I popped~, I took a dump."

"What is this?" Jennie shook her head, watching this aegyo fiasco. 

This was so erratic and weird to her. Meanwhile, Rap Monster had fallen off his seat from laughing. When it was V's turn, he effortlessly said the statement in aegyo, as everyone praised him for being so good. 

"Yo...I cannot..." She cringed.

When it was Suga's turn, he explained he was not great at these things. And once he said the statement, Rap Monster let out a yell. "I pooped, I took a dump," Suga whined while Jennie stared at him like he was crazy.

Lastly, was Jimin as he looked up at the camera. "I...I...I had a dream.." He started, trying not to laugh at everyone's laughter. Jimin had started over but ended up laughing while Jungkook and Rapmon mocked his aegyo.

After the segment, the Orange team chose the front card while the blue team chose the back card. As they catch the VCR they see which was the better choice for toilet paper. If it should be front or back. In the end, the correct way was the front as Team Orange was in another celebratory mood.

But then the VCR shows BTS' bathroom and Jennie's bathroom to see how their toilet paper was hung. J-Hope brought up that BTS has three bathrooms.

When they checked out the VCR, they looked at how their toilet paper was hanging and it's to the front.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" Team Orange jumped up and down.

"YASSSSS! WOO!" Jennie clapped. 

Team Orange gathered in a group hug, jumping up and down happily for another victory. Team Orange wins 3 more eggs.

The next segment is 5 seconds, 5 keywords. Jin went first, revealing 5'10, nipples and pink folder. The oldest member explained that it's hard to wake up Jungkook, so he pinches his nipples to wake him up. 

"Touch his nipples when you want Jungkook to wake up," Jin advised

"Pfff!" Jen let out a chuckle. They had Jungkook lay on the floor for Jin to demonstrate. "I cannot." She covered her mouth. 

When Jin demonstrated, Jungkook instantly started laughing, trying to stop him.

Next up was J-Hope who mentioned 27CM and Freesia. "The 27cm isn't what you're thinking..." J-Hope let out a nervous chuckle

"What were we thinking?" Haha asked, as everyone laughed.

"Since debut, I always hear people saying my face is very long. We measured it on a program. It was 27cm." J-Hope explained. 

Haha brought a ruler to measure his face and ended up getting 20cm.

Following that was Suga who said Seo Janghoon, surgery, and lesson. He explained that his mom's friend liked the team Seo Janghoon hyung-nim was on and brought him to the games since he plays basketball. As Jennie watched the banter, she was in shock that Janghoon allowed V to take another egg, but he decided to take two instead. Jungkook, with his hawk eyes, caught him and called him out but V quickly denied the accusations.

Eventually, Suga explained why he chose the word surgery. BTS had a schedule in Japan and he had stomach pains but it was actually his appendix bursting and he flew back to Korea to get the surgery. 

"Jennie noticed right away there was something wrong." Suga pointed out. "She always has been observant. She kept asking me if I was okay while I was in distress. She wanted to fly with me back to Korea, too. She didn't want me to go alone but she had to stay, for the schedule. Jennie was so worried about me. I appreciated her concern."

"You're very welcome. I'm glad you're okay." She replied

Janghoon was impressed by Suga's patience and allowed V to take another egg. Next up was Jimin who said the words, pervert, which sparked everyone's interest. 

"This is about the members." He revealed

"Who's the pervert?" Janghoon questioned

"Our members are sort of perverts. There are three types of perverts."

"When was it three types!? It was one!" Rap Monster exclaimed, getting defensive

"You're surely sensitive, tonight." Jen pointed out.

Jimin had explained J-Hope's weird sleeping habit when he randomly stroked himself. "Then...Secondly, it's the golden maknae." Jimin peered at Jungkook. "He's still a minor but he's really sensitive to scent. So, he collects a lot of cosmetics."

"I'm very sensitive to scents. I tend to collect a lot of things like perfumes, candles, and cosmetics." Jungkook explained as he also added that he enjoys women's cosmetics.

"So, do you take Miss Bangtan's cosmetics?" Haha asked.

"Of course, he does," Jen replied with a hint of annoyance. "He tends to take a lot of my stuff without asking me. I dunno why or how you keep barging into my room when I'm not around. I still haven't gotten my new grapefruit perfume back. Where's that?" She turned to the Golden Maknae.

"I used it all." He grinned sheepishly as she threw her arms up in the air while everyone laughed.

"The stuff she uses smells really, really good. She has great taste in scents. It's hard not to resist. I can't help myself." He murmured, feeling his face warm up.

"Ah, I'm sure that's not all you can't help yourself to, Golden Pervert, Jungkookie." Jimin teased him, wiggling his eyebrows as he glanced at Jennie and then Jungkook.

Jungkook shot him a warning glance while Jimin smiled innocently, giggling in delight, watching him get annoyed by his words. He was going to kill his hyung for this.

"What scents do you usually get Jennie?" Janghoon asked with interest.

"Depends on what I like at the moment. Vanilla, fruity flavored. Just something pleasing to the nose." She answered. "But I mean, that's not weird what he does. It's good to have a good smell around you."

"The last type of perverts are the older hyungs," Jimin revealed. 

He went on the explain that he knows all the names of the girl groups.

"We have a studio. Because we're rappers. We have a studio but there are so many viruses." J-Hope explained as everyone caught on that Rap Monster watched naughty videos in his spare time.

Janghoon mentioned that Rap Monster is at the peak of his age to be seeing a lot of those types of videos. He even offered Rap Monster an egg because of that, and that there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

"If I download it, the rest of the guys watch it." Rap Monster put all the male members on blast. 

Jangnoon was asked how many videos he watches per week but then someone brought up that he's at the age to film them, causing everybody to laugh. 

"And Jennie, I'm sorry for bringing this up again, but she caught me one time." Rap Monster revealed

Jennie let out a sigh, rubbing her temples. "I saw everything when I caught him. All I wanted was to ask if he wanted me to bring something back when I went out to get lunch. And I got waaaay more than I bargained for..."

------

"Hey, do you want anything to eat, I'm head-OH MY GOD!" Jennie screamed, widening her eyes and covering them

Namjoon immediately jumped up from his seat.

"Shit! I didn't know you were here!" He started tripping around, trying to pull up his pants hastily, and tried to turn off the naughty video that was being shown. He ended up making some of his equipment fall on the floor.

"I was here the whole time!" She shouted

"WHERE!?" He yelled

"I was with Yoongi!" She began making crying sounds, running her hands over her head as she tried to unsee what she saw, turning her back to him. "I just saw his dick, Lord...please let me unsee this! Why you gotta do this to me, man!?" She whined, quickly running out of the studio.

Things were awkward between them for the rest of the day, until Namjoon had spoken to her the next day to clear things up in Jen's room. He had sat on her bed with her, discussing the situation.

"So you mean to tell me you watch that stuff in the studio?"

"I mean, the rest of the members watch it too." He shrugged

"Gross...I don't need to know all that information. For crying out loud, just...just don't-ugh give me a warning or something next time. Like you'll be in the studio for a while or something like that. So, I won't interrupt you or see something I wasn't supposed to. Sorry for barging in on you. You guys gotta do what you gotta do, so I mean..." She trailed off, shrugging her shoulders.

-----

"No sister wants to catch their brother in that situation. It was not a pleasant sight to see..." She tried to shake away the unpleasant memories. "But I mean, it's normal. No big deal. And I did feel bad barging in, interrupting him. 'Cause I know if I was in that position, I wouldn't want to be interrupted. Girls watch it too. And speaking of those viruses, I told him to get some computer virus software for the computers but he didn't want to listen. Now, look what happened."

"I'll start listening to your good judgment." Rapmon chuckled.

Rap Monster was next and his words were Straggler, early death and world peace. He goes on about his nickname, God of Destruction because he keeps breaking things, so he thinks he might die early. With the word straggler, he talks about how the members were bad to him. He went to go to the bathroom and the car left without him and he stood there for 30 minutes. His cell phone was in the car.

Next up was Jennie as she says volleyball, Tumblr and DJ. 

"What's this about Tumblr?" Haha asked.

"Well, I have a Tumblr. A secret Tumblr that I use almost every day." She announced, already mentally preparing for how ARMY was going to freak out on the website. 

She's seen everything, but what caught her eye was how some fans were always disappointed that she hadn't shown much of her body or acted sexy like some of K-Pop idols. She was still a minor and would rather wait until she was of age.

"What's your Tumblr name?"

"I've had my Tumblr before I came to Korea. I made a new one and I don't plan on revealing it at all. My Tumblr name is nothing about me, and I enjoy remaining unnoticed. Some things I enjoy reblogging are gaming, fashion, memes, American sports, positive posts about being black and UFC."

"UFC!?"

"Yep." She smiled.

"The fighting? Brawling, kicking and all that?"

"Yep, yep."

"The blood and punching?"

"Yep, yep, yep."

"Why that?"

"What can I say? I like to watch people beat each other up professionally." She shrugged and everyone laughed. "I'm a big fan. My dad enjoys it. I'd like to attend a show one day."

"So, on Tumblr, you see a lot about BTS?"

"BTS is very loved on Tumblr, I'll tell you that. I blacklist a bunch of things so I'm totally safe for work." She stared directly at the camera. 

She tended to stay away from any fanfics or intense stuff but appreciated the artwork, gifs and appreciation posts about her and the other members.

"But yeah, those on Tumblr, you know who you are, some of y'all need to tone it down on some comments, I'm still a minor FYI." She shot a thumbs up. "But yeah, seriously, I'm deadass. Respect that. You need to tone it down a notch. It's creepy. But I will add that one thing I love is the appreciation I get from the fans and that I inspire them." 

She could see the fan comments now on Tumblr about what she had just said,

'Guys! SHE KNOWS! SHE FRIGGIN KNOWS!'

'ABORT MISSION!

'Time to delete my blog!'

'Oh shiiiiit'

'Spread the word! Time to delete our blogs!'

'SHE'S SMART AF!'

'RED ALERT'

'I'm dying!'

'RIP every smut writer!'

'Time to shut down my blog!'

'We are NOT safe'

'EXPOSED'

'Uhhhhhhhh I can explain'

When it was Jungkook's turn, he mentioned hair, butt and scissors. He revealed that when he gets nervous before going on stage, so he tends to touch the member's butts a lot. 

Everyone laughed when Haha and Jungkook demonstrated how they touch butts. When Jungkook gave his butt a gentle squeeze, Haha mentioned that he was still a beginner.

"When we film an opening, or when we film the opening for Running Man, I grab both cheeks and-" Haha kneeled down and tightly grabbed Jungkook's butt.

"What is this...?" Jennie chuckled, shaking her head.

When it was V's turn, he mentioned elephant and eyelashes. He shows off his trademark elephant on his arm, causing Jennie to giggle. 

"Whoa! It's an elephant!" Haha looked on in disbelief and ended up waving at it while everyone laughed out loud. V also mentioned that he has long eyelashes, longer than anyone else.

The next segment was 'We want to know Bangtan'

'Who is the most influential in BTS?'

"It's Suga. That drunk way of talking, that charisma that overwhelms everyone." Rap Monster answered. "It doesn't go through no matter what people say. Last place is Jimin in the back who called me a pervert."

"Jimin, do you acknowledge this?" Mino asked

"Yes, I do." Jimin giggled

'The member who lost their original intentions? The member who is most different since debut?'

"The member who lost his original intentions is V," Jin answered. "This friend, distinctly, before debuting, he used to follow me well, saying "hyung, hyung." But now when I say, "V, I don't think you should do that.", he says "What are you to say that hyung?"

"I really said that?" V asked

"No, I'm just exaggerating." Jin teased.

Janghoon made Jin and V stand in front to play the of course game, bringing Rookie King flashbacks. They let J-Hope take Jin's place for now, while V began to speak to him informally.

"Yah, Hoseok! You don't take me seriously in dance. You keep criticizing me. You know you make several mistakes, right?" V spoke.

"Of course," J-Hope responded. "I'll talk a little bit about our dorm. You don't air out the bathroom, huh?"

"We agreed not to." V giggled and he lost the game. J-Hope received two eggs for Team Orange.

'Is there a member who has the celebrity disease.'

"Can I answer? It's Jungkook." V pointed them out.

"What's the reason?" Jungkook asked.

"These days when any of the hyungs say something, he says, 'Why? I do it, so why?." He answered, causing Janghoon to make him and Jungkook place the of course game

"Hey, punk!" Jungkook spoke as everyone laughed. "These days, you don't say your greetings often, right?"

"Of course," V answered. "These days, when hoobae singers come to greet us, you ignore them all, right?"

"Of course."

Haha had whispered something in the Golden Maknae's ear and Jungkook asked, "You don't air out the bathroom, right?" 

Everyone erupted into laughter again.

"He can't catch a break! Hahah!" Jennie chuckled, while Jungkook got an egg.

'The truth about Jimin oppa's armpits. Do you remove it?'

"Does Jimin not have any armpit hair?" Janghoon asked

"No, I do." He replied.

"But he didn't when you promoted. Did you remove it?" Haha asked

"I didn't."

"Have you ever removed it?"

"No."

Mino took a quick look and responded, "There's a heap," making everyone laugh 

"At the beginning of our debut, Jimin didn't have any. It didn't grow." Jin answered.

'Did you not have any complaints about the length of the shorts while promoting Hwayangyeonhwa?'

"When I tell you I hated those shorts..." Jennie shook her head. "I almost ripped them because of my thighs."

"Hahaha, I remember that day." Rap Monster let out a laugh

"I think the shorts keep getting shorter," Suga added. "I think I can understand the problems women have. Jennie especially. She kept complaining about it for a while backstage. They keep shrinking."

"But the fans like it?" Haha asked

"The fans like it," Suga confirmed.

'Please mimic Bang Shi Hyuk who created BTS.'

"There's a motion that he always does. When he listens to a song. If the song is perfect, like he feels it's our song then he keeps doing this." V started dancing weirdly making everyone laugh

"He wears handcuffs and keeps dancing like this." Rap Monster demonstrated.

Jin spoke up, "I have a complaint. Last time, when I was in the recording studio, Bang PD came and asked me What do you think about the dance for this song? And I said that this choreo is more easier compared to before. Then he said, tell me your opinion truthfully. And I said, I wish the choreo would get a little easier. Then he told me, Ok, I'll take into account your opinion. And what came out is the Dope choreo. It's the most difficult! This is the fastest dance I've ever seen in my life!" He exclaimed

"Who gets hit on the most by girl group idols? The member who has the most numbers, things like that." Haha asked.

"But when we go to broadcasts, people really feel uncomfortable around us," Suga answered 

"Why?"

"I don't know. We are always locked inside our waiting room."

"Then are you saying that nobody here has the numbers of female idols?"

"Jennie does. And male idols. She tends to speak to most idols, getting to know them." Rap Monster pointed out. "I won't be surprised if a few years go by she'll know almost everyone in the industry."

"Never hurts to approach them and say hi." She replied. "I did that back at K-Con and I still speak with G-Dragon sunbaenim. I was so nervous to approach him but I was like, just go for it. He's extremely nice and helpful when I ask for any advice. I thank him for being so kind to me when I met him."

"And I'm still very jealous," Jungkook grumbled.

"We were so shocked to see a photo with them together. We kept asking her so many questions." Jin exclaimed as everyone laughed.

"Like she left the dressing room and we couldn't find her. And then we all see a notification on our Twitter with them together. I was shocked." Rap Monster added.

"Miss Bangtan, what about you? Getting hit on by any male group idols?" Haha asked

"Not really." She shrugged

"Lies! All lies! That is a lie!" Jimin objected.

"What? How?" She laughed.

"I'm pretty sure there are certain guys that admire you but haven't spoken up about it yet," He teased, earning another warning glance from Jungkook. 

The Golden Maknae briefly narrowed his eyes at his hyung until Jimin met his eyes and smiled innocently in response.

"I'll answer this," Jin said. "As you may know, we are very protective of our Bangtan girl, so we tend to be, in her words, a bit much when it comes to guys, but it is all within reason. There have been shady men going around her a few times."

"What you are doing is not a problem, make sure she is protected at all costs." Haha agreed.

"She's our baby girl, so we want to make sure that no one tries to take advantage of her, here. Moving from another country is hard and we made a promise to guide her and protect her. Make her feel welcomed and safe. She is truly special to us and we love her dearly." Jin genuinely went on.

"Aw...Jin..." Jennie said, touched, as she placed a hand over her heart

"Is there a girl group you want to become closer with?" Haha asked. 

Answers included Red Velvet and Girl's Generation

"IU!" Jungkook shouted loud and proud, raising his hand.

"AILEE!" Jen shouted, raising her hand. "Love her! She is astonishing. I would love to sing with her. She is a queen."

As time moved quickly, they transitioned to the last segment. J-Hope and Jimin collaborated on dancing for the show. Everyone started cracking up when they watched Jimin and J-Hope perform a comic dance. Next up was Jungkook who did imitations of idols. He started imitating AOA's Jimin from Unpretty Rap Star and then Jessi, causing everyone to laugh.

The laughter continued as they watched J-Hope dance to Red Velvet's Ice Cream cake, EXID's Ah Yeah and Sistar's touch my body. Afterward, Jin impressed Mino, Haha and Janghoon with his facial expressions and was requested to imitate Dragoon from Starcraft, which was his spider walk. 

"That's it?" Janghoon asked, which caused Jin to look so done, causing everyone to laugh.

Haha requested Jin to come in the door with water in his mouth. 

"CUE!" He shouted, watching the oldest member walk back inside. "Jin, they said you're going to be removed from BTS!"

Jin's eyes popped out as the water from his mouth fell, causing everyone to laugh. 

"That was so good, hahaha!" Jennie laughed.

Rap Monster was the next person and he decided to do an impression of Marge Simpson. When he began to imitate Spongebob's laugh while Jungkook pretended to be Squidward, Jennie was the one who laughed the most, almost falling out of her seat again.

"That's my childhood, right there. They did that perfectly." Jen complimented.

At the end of the show, they went over the eggs in each of the teams' boxes to see who had won. Team Orange seemed to be in the lead but in the end, once Janghoon revealed the last egg for Team Orange, which was 0.5 points, Team Orange yelled in protest while Jin spat out water once again in surprise.

Team Blue- 70

Team Orange- 60.5

Team Orange hugged each other, for a good time, while congratulating Team Blue. V was chosen as MVP by Mino and received a guitar. V had dramatically kneeled, receiving it proudly.

"I'm jealous!" Jungkook whined.

"Take this and increase your musicality." Mino handed him the guitar

"Thank you!" V shouted and bowed, while Team Blue got a massage coupon.

"Yay! Now Jennie can teach me, the guitar." V beamed

"Just let me know when." She spoke up as she looked at the big coupon Jin received for the massage. "Quality over quantity. Congrats to Team Blue. I'm mad but congrats."

------

Backstage during one of the music shows, BTS had finished performing. Jen decided to walk around backstage with her phone but was stopped when a familiar voice called her name. Turning around to see who the voice belonged to, it was Shin, the sound engineer guy that she met during the MAMA Awards. Ever since Namjoon and Jin tried to warn her about him because they believed he was sketchy, she decided to keep her distance. 

It's been a long time since she had seen him but something in her didn't believe he was a bad guy or sketchy as her members claimed him to be.

"Hey! Long time no see." She greeted him as he approached her. "You fell off the face of the earth for a while."

"Me? I think it was you. Haven't seen you in a while, and didn't even get the chance to get your number the last time we spoke." He responded with a smile

"Ah, well, the busy idol life." She shrugged and took a step back when she regarded him getting up in her personal space.

He seemed moderately irritated as he chose to let out a sigh. "All right, I need to be frank with you. I'm tired of this dragging along." He changed his tone, causing her to raise a brow.

"Honest with what exactly?" Her ears perked up with interest.

"I thought you of all people would catch on but I guess not."

"What was I supposed to catch on to?"

"I kind of just want to hook up with you. Know how it feels to be with a black girl. I heard they're really exotic. Most foreigners are. I mean, you're not the type of girl I would take home to my parents but I wouldn't mind having fun with you."

"Oh. I see we're on two completely different pages here." She shook her head, turned off immediately by his words. 

Irritation was distinct in her voice and it wouldn't be long before she would blow up at him for having the audacity to say that to her face. It also took a blow to her heart that he would assume she wouldn't be taken seriously and believe she was someone who gets around.

"I mean, you're hot and well, I was given the impression that girls like you are easy. I want to know if it's true that once you go black, you can't go back. I mean, you're pretty for a black girl-"

"You ever think before you speak?" She snapped. "Why do I have to be pretty for a black girl? We're all beautiful and I sure as hell don't hook up around here. Did you think I got here because of that? I know I was a trainee for a short amount of time but I would never in my life go the easy route to get things I want. I work hard and shed blood, sweat, and tears. Not sleep around."

"You look like the hooking up type, I just thought-"

"Well, you thought wrong and I am seconds away from slapping the living shit out of you for letting that come out your mouth." She retorted with a scowl. Shaking her head, she murmured, "Namjoon and Jin were right."

"Look, no need to get upset."

"Upset? So, what you just told me, I shouldn't be upset?"

"Hey, don't get so offended. I just think that dating someone...like you would be hard-"

"How so?" She cut him off. "What stereotype do you have on your mind? We're angry? Like to argue? Aggressive? Too independent? Is it because of our hair? We can wear whatever we want on our hair. Braids, weaves, all natural, anything. What is it because of my skin? Would you be ashamed of dating a person of color? Because of any judgment, you'll get? But you just want to have fun, right? Not actually take the time to see what great of a girl you have in front of you, am I right?"

She noticed him looking startled by her attitude, but she didn't care. She was irate and wasn't having any of his crap. She did not want this side of her to come out. But people kept trying her and she had no choice but to retaliate and defend herself.

"Don't you think you're being a bit of a prude?" He exclaimed.

Jennie let out a loud scoff and started laughing. "Woooooowww! Me? A prude? I'm a prude because I don't want to sleep with you? Oh, okay. I see how society works. So, let me get this straight. You decided to be all nice and buddy, buddy, only to try to sleep with me? Then what? Leave? Go on to try to go after another female idol?"

"L-"

"You've talked enough so shut your mouth and listen." She cut him off, earning an annoyed look from him. "How many girls have you been trying to talk to? And all of them rejected you, right? Right. And you just assumed since I'm a Westerner, I would just open my legs for you, right? That's just what we all do, correct? Just because of what you see on the media, or us shaking our asses and grinding up on guys, you just assume that we will do anything, huh? No questions asked, we'll sleep with just anybody, right? Well, let me remind you that we deserve respect and that you're wrong. Enough with the stereotypes. Enough with the fetishes of us. It's getting old and it's disgusting. You are problematic and you are a waste of time. So, why don't you stop bothering us females with your antics, grow a set because you clearly don't have any balls and stop treating us women like some piece of meat."

"Are you friggin' kidding me, right now-"

"I'm deadass. I am deadass. I am 100%, Ailee loving, Baekhyun adoring, Bangtan Girl deadass." She cut him off, talking over his words. Narrowing her eyes, she got closer to his face. "Don't try me because I am not the one. Now stay the hell away from me and I bet not catch you trying to go after any other female idol. And next time you try me, I won't hesitate to smack the shit out of you. Do I make myself clear?"

He was so flustered, that he couldn't even respond since he was humiliated by her sudden words.

"I said...do you understand me?" She repeated in a sterner tone.

"Yeah..." He muttered as she took a step back.

"Now apologize and educate yourself."

"I apologize..."

"For what?"

"For being an asshole..."

"And?"

"Everything I said..."

"And what did you say that made me upset?"

"Calling you a prude..."

"And?"

"Fetishing black women..."

"And? We can go all day. That's not all you've done."

"I apologize for saying that girls like you are easy and disrespecting you..."

"And?"

"Making assumptions that you are the hooking up type..."

"And?"

"Judging you based on stereotypes about black women and what I've seen in the media..."

"And what will do from now on?"

"Educate myself..."

"And?"

"Stop treating women like a piece of meat..."

"Good, now get the hell out of my face." She dismissed him. Shin scurried away in disgrace while she rolled her eyes, placing her hands on her hips. "Trifling ass..."

Little did Jennie know, Jungkook had heard their entire conversation. Jungkook knew right from the start that Shin was up to no good when he approached Jennie back at the MAMA Awards.

Despite his jealousy and occasional glares when he saw them together, Jungkook had suspicions that there was something behind Shin's nice guy persona. It takes a lot to get the Golden Maknae agitated. But once he heard all those repulsive remarks that Shin told the woman most precious to him, his temper got the best of him. And once you get Jeon Jungkook angry, by all means...

Run.

Furious, Jungkook stalked Shin after he quickly walked away from Jennie. She embarrassed the hell out of him and he deserved every second of it. Jungkook had wanted to intervene but she handled the situation well and shut Shin down to expose him for the fool that he is.

"Hey, you." Jungkook's voice called out bitterly.

Shin immediately spun around and bowed. "J-Jungkook. What is it?" His voice was still trembling from getting embarrassed by Jennie.

"Let's talk somewhere private. Right now," he demanded with his voice filled with aggravation. 

Shin noticed his harsh tone. It looked like Jungkook wasn't going to take no for an answer and he reluctantly followed the Golden Maknae.

Once they were in a private area, Shin asked, "What can I help you with?"

Jungkook crossed his arms, presenting an even further intimidating appearance as his muscles were visible under his shirt. He demanded aggressively, "You can help by staying away from Miss Bangtan."

Shin let out a sigh. He guessed that he saw everything. "Look, I said I was sorry-"

"Not good enough. I'm here to give you a warning myself after what I saw back there." He scowled at him, making Shin's stomach drop as he thought the 97 Liner looked scary when mad.

The Golden Maknae walked up to him, staring him down with a lethal stare while Shin averted his eyes.

Jungkook poked the inside of his cheek with his tongue, shaking his head. "Don't you ever disrespect her again. Jennie is not and never will be some girl you can hook up with. She is not an easy girl to sleep with. She is someone precious to BTS. To ARMY. To her family. To her friends. To me." The Golden Maknae responded sharply.

"Do you have any idea how great of a person she is? How caring she is, taking care of Hyungs and me? She works so hard in BTS and for you to disrespect her the way you did was uncalled for and I am not having it. How dare you claim she's an easy target to sleep with? How dare you claim she's a prude because she doesn't want to sleep with you? She isn't like that and will never be like that. She's beautiful, she's understanding, and she always encourages hyungs and me. She's more than what you think of her. Way more. She is someone incredibly special to me. Always has been. Always will be. And I won't let you disrespect her like that ever again. Do you understand me?" He growled as Shin took a step back, shaking with fear.

"Y-yeah man. Yeah."

"Now stay away from her. And like my baby girl said...Educate yourself, yeah? Do I make myself clear?"

"Y-y-eah. I un-derstand."

"Good. Now get out here." He tilted his head to the side as Shin speed walked away.

With Jennie, still irritated about her unfortunate conversation with Shin, she went to BTS' dressing room, letting out a loud sigh of annoyance

"What happened?" Namjoon asked immediately, standing up from his seat as he placed his phone down. Jin was also in the room, and Jen had told them everything that had happened

"He dares to try to mess with my sweetheart? I am truly disappointed in that young man." Jin shook his head. "That is no way to speak to a lady."

"First of all, damn, I wish I was there to see you shut him down like that." Namjoon pointed out. "Second of all, I'm about to kill him."

"You and me both, Namjoon."

"His face was so red when I shut him down," Jen added. "Even some staff members were watching and laughing at him. But damn, I didn't think a guy like him would pull that card on me. He truly is a fuckboy. I'm sorry I didn't listen. I thought he was a nice guy with good intentions. I guess you can tell me that you told me so."

"Nah, it's all right." Namjoon smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Like he just ruined my whole mood. I can't believe he would say something like that to me." She shook her head, crossing her arms.

"Excuse me for a sec, he and I are gonna have a little talk." Namjoon made his way to the door.

"Oh yes, we are. A long talk. Let's find him." Jin added, his voice appeared lethal as he followed the leader.

"Um, what are you two gonna do?" She watched them.

"Set him straight. I won't have no man disrespect you. Always trust our judgment. I'm always looking out for you. We all are." Namjoon responded.

-----

The next day, in the afternoon, Jen had her small speaker connected to her phone and put her music on shuffle while she washed the dishes. Suit & Tie was playing softly in the background as she danced to the beat. Hobi had walked into the kitchen and started moonwalking with his socks on, making her laugh softly. After he had gestured for her to dance with him, she briefly stopped washing the dishes to slide around the kitchen with him, with their socks on. Afterwards, he had gone to get something the drink from the fridge and went back to his room as she continued to clean.

"Sweetie, I told you I could've washed the dishes," Jin said, walking out of his room.

"Eh, it's all right, I was tired of looking at them anyway." She shrugged.

"I'm going to the store. You want anything?"

"Nah but we're going to need more dishwashing liquid."

"I'll put that on the list." Jin made a mental note and left the dorm.

Almost done washing the dishes, Rocketeer by Far East Movement played softly in the background as Jennie continued to dance while scrubbing a dirty plate.

"Here we go, come with me." She sang along. "There's a world out there that we should see. Take my hand, close your eyes. With you right here, I'm a rocketeer. Let's fly~! Up, up here we go, go. Up, up here we go, go. Let's fly~!"

"Baby girl?"

She heard a familiar voice and turned around, answering immediately with a smile. "Yes?" 

There she saw Jungkook with their puppy, Tony by his feet. "Wanna walk Tony with me?"

"Yeah, sure! Let me finish this and I'll get ready."

"Take your time. I'm about to hop in the shower, first."

"Ditto." She turned around and finished the dishes.

After she was done, she changed into a simple white shirt, black jeans, and of course her black Nikes. Jungkook had already finished showering and was waiting for her in the living room while petting their small puppy. When she walked out of her room, Jungkook gazed at her outfit and then at his, noticing that they unintentionally matched.

Jen let out a soft laugh. "Ha! That's cute, we're matching. Copycat."

"Me?! I always wear white shirts. You're the copycat!" He teased and stood up, holding Tony by the leash as they stepped outside.

As they walked Tony, while casually talking to each other, Tony had stopped by a tree to do his business. 

"You're cleaning it!" Jennie called out.

"What!? Why me!?" Jungkook exclaimed

"It's your turn! I did it last time."

The Golden Maknae grumbled as he took out a small trash bag, picking up the mess. Once he threw out the mess, Jen walked past him and he caught a whiff of her smelling like vanilla.

"You smell good. Did you go to a bakery or eat something?"

"Oh, Angelina sent me some perfume. And it's a vanilla scented one. I love the smell but I also dislike it because I smell like a birthday cake. I mean, you wouldn't want to eat me, right?" She joked. "But the smell is so good, it makes me crave for vanilla flavored foods. I feel that way about cocoa butter, too. I'm kind of struggling. I should wear it when I'm around vanilla flavored pastries."

"It suits you nicely. You should keep wearing it."

"You think so?"

"I like it when girls wear vanilla sentenced things."

"Oh really?" She beamed. "All right then, I'll keep wearing it just for you. Just don't swipe it like you did with my grapefruit perfume."

"L-look."

"Ah-ah! I don't wanna hear it!"

When they made it to a dog park, they sat on the bench, while Jungkook took off the leash from Tony's collar.

"Gosh, you are such a meme." She snickered when she observed Jungkook taking silly selfies with the dog.

He picked Tony up, looking at him face to face. "She's mean, isn't she Tony?" He cooed as the dog barked cutely in response. "You like me better than mean Jennie, right boy? Ain't that right?"

Jen stared at the two of them, unamused before taking a group photo with them. Both idols were bare faced for today. Jen had some faint dark spots over her face and her skin was usually on the oily side.

'Bare faced! Gotta let the skin breathe! Hope you're enjoying your day! #JEN' She tweets.

The two friends remain seated while they watch Tony run around. "He is such a happy dog. How'd you even pick him out at the pet shop?" she asked.

"I am the Golden Maknae after all. I always have good taste." Jungkook announced proudly

"Who lied?" She raised a brow.

Jungkook placed a hand over his heart, pretending to be hurt. "Wow, that hurts, Jennie."

"You walked right into that one, ha!"

"Hahahaha-no." He deadpanned before they shared another laugh.

"I've been meaning to ask you this. Where'd you get that cheek scar?" She pointed out.

"Oh, this?" He pointed to his cheek. "Ah...I was fighting with my brother because we both wanted to play on the computer."

"Haha, once a gamer, always a gamer. I think it's cute. I have a scar from fighting with my sisters over the TV. I wanted to play video games but they wanted to watch one of their favorite TV shows that came on that night. It wasn't pretty. I was a rough child."

"Really? Where is it?"

She lifted her left leg and pointed to the faint long scar on her knee through the ripped jeans. "You can't really see it since it faded but once you get close, it's there. Gosh, they pissed me off that day."

"Did you get to play your video games?"

"Nope. Mom and Dad always took their side. You would think being the youngest would allow you to get your way but nope. Got grounded for starting the fight. Oh gosh, I remember smacking Alani in the face. The side of her face was so red. I grabbed Vienna by the hair and pulled her off the couch. I know, all that over video games. You probably think I'm a violent person, huh?"

"That's...actually pretty funny." He chuckled lightly. "Don't tell them I said that."

"I won't. I thought it was funny too. They were so shocked by my strength at a young age."

Jungkook laughed. "Ah, sibling fights. You're here in Korea with us so you can play all the video games you want without your sisters bothering you."

"True, very true." She responded as she got another whiff of her perfume. "Okay, can we please get some vanilla cake? This perfume is making me crave."

"It'll cost you." He teased.

"How much?"

"I'll think about it." He smirked.

"Ugh, why you so childish?" She complained as she grabbed a tennis ball out of her bag. 

Jungkook giggled as they headed over to play catch with Tony. Jennie tossed the ball first and Tony immediately caught it and ran back up to her. 

"Good boy!" She petted him. She tossed the ball to Jungkook and he threw it far, taking her off guard. "Dude! Really!?"

"What? Good endurance pays off!" He proudly looked at how far he threw the ball

"You are ridiculous!" She exclaimed, playfully shoving him. He playfully shoved her back and they ended up trying to push each other. "H-hey! Hey! Cut it out! Behave! I'm telling Jin-hahah-stop!"

She giggled when he tried to trip her down to the ground. When he did, she brought him down with her by grabbing onto his shirt and arm.

Jungkook rolled off of her, as they shared another laugh. 

"Ah, crap!" He exclaimed when Tony ran up to him with the ball, attacking him with licks all over his face.

Jennie watched him try to push him off and cheered, "Hahaha! Get him, Tony!"

Forced To Believe Chapter 39- I Hate Snakes

Chapter Summary: Morgan continues to question what is on Roman's mind as he keeps avoiding the answer. The Shield continue to dominate.

'Sierra'

'Hotel'

'India'

'Echo'

Lima'

'Delta'

'Shield'

Morgan walked in front of The Shield while they all walked through the crowd. She tagged some hands and jumped over the barricade. 

"I still got chills. Jake 'The Snake' Roberts was on Old School Raw. I wonder how Ambrose feels about this, after having that snake all over him." Cole said.

"The following is a six man tag team contest scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, accompanied by Morgan Lopezz, at a combined weight of 707 pounds. The United States Champion, Dean Ambrose, along with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, The Shield!" Lilian announced. 

Morgan got on the ropes and did her taunt as the crowd cheered. She jumped down while the titantron showed the highlights of Roman's match with Punk on Old School Raw.

"This past Monday night, was Old School Raw," Roman said. "A night where we celebrated our history and the legends who owned it. Legends like The Nature Boy, Ric Flair...Rowdy Roddy Piper.." He continued while Morgan grinned at his name.

The mention of his name caused the boys to turn to her. Dean was smirking in amusement, Roman was smiling and Seth was grinning at her fangirling. Dean began to mock her fangirling which made the crowd laugh. 

"Forget you." She chuckled and pushed him away, while Roman and Seth laughed.

"And how could we forget...Jake 'The Snake' Roberts." Roman continued while Morgan nudged Dean and gave him an amused smile. "But with all those legends in the house, only one thing mattered. And that's when Roman Reigns pinned CM Punk and became the new...best in the world~!" He exclaimed and taunted the crowd. 

Dean patted his back and took the mic from him while the crowd gave Roman mixed reactions.

"I hate snakes!" Dean vented and The Shield looked at him. "Scaly...slimy...slithering...filthy, disgusting, beady eye, evil little creatures. I don't know how it's legal in this country, to own a ten foot python but somebody is gonna pay for that!" He pointed to the stage.

Morgan snickered and held her mouth, trying not to laugh while Roman put his hands on his vest and Seth was looking at Dean with amusement. 

Dean snapped his head to his teammates and tilted his head. "Do you know what kind of nightmares that gives ya? Having those things crawl all over ya?" he gave them a crazed look. "You know what kind of thoughts that puts in your head? You know what that does to ya? Huh?"

Seth, Morgan and Roman glanced at each other. Seth shrugged and they looked back at Dean. 

"You know what I would do? If that snake was here right now, I would choke that snake out! Right in the middle of this ring!"

Seth tried to get the mic off his hands. "Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"I would rip the skin off that snake, right off his ugly little head!" Dean yelled before getting grabbed by Roman and he tried to calm him down while he was grinning. 

Morgan started laughing and held on to the ropes while the crowd laughed with her.

"What are you laughin' at!?" Dean snapped his head towards her while she had her hands up in defense. "Huh? What are you laughin' at Morgan?"

"Nothing." She continued to laugh.

"You think that's funny? You think that's funny? It's not funny!" Dean started pacing around. 

"That was Monday, okay?" Seth said on the mic while Morgan tried to calm Ambrose down but couldn't because she couldn't stop laughing. "Tonight is not Old School Raw."

"No." Dean replied and stopped pacing around.

"Tonight is not about the history of WWE. Tonight is about the future of WWE." Seth continued.

"So you don't like snakes?" Morgan teased Dean and started to pretend to be a snake by swaying from side to side.

"Oh, that's real funny! Real funny, guys," Ambrose retorted as he saw Roman moving his arm like a snake, teasing him, too. 

Morgan and Roman high five each other as Seth continued to speak.

"One thing I do know is that the future does not involve the New Age Outlaws. Monday on Raw, the Outlaws stuck their noses in our business. So tonight, it will be our pleasure, to put the Road Dogg, Jesse James and Billy Gunn, out of their misery. And as for CM Punk, heh, well we'll just do what we do every single time, we step into the ring with CM Punk." Seth put an arm around Roman. "We'll break him. And we will prove that we are the future of this company and no one can stop us!"

The crowd chanted 'Morgan' which caused her team to look at her. She smiled and shrugged and Rollins decided to give her the mic and once she took it, she got a loud pop.

"I'm home~" she announced and they cheered in response. "What is up Philly!?"

The crowd cheered in response again. 

"You have no idea how happy I am to be in this ring in front of my hometown. Well, WWE Main Event was crazy, wasn't it? I faced CM Punk, while my boys were cheering me on and supporting me. We gave each other one hell of a match but unfortunately, I came up short. But that doesn't mean I didn't make a statement. I proved that I am not just a regular diva. I want to stand out and I'm going to do that by continuing to kick some ass. Some WWE Superstar ass." 

Roman smiled at her. The way she giggled and admired the love from her fans, to her guts in the ring. To everyone's eyes, she was a woman that men couldn't have because of Dean. But to his eyes, she was one of his biggest supporters when he wrestled and one of his best friends. He continued to cherish that and admire her. 

Although...

"But tonight, it's not about me, it's my boys. And they are going to beat The New Age Outlaws and CM Punk." Morgan continued while The Shield agreed. "They are going to make them believe and serve some justice. Believe in The Shield." She put her fist out while the boys stood with her and put their fist out as well.

'Oh You Didn't Know? You better call somebody!'

The Shield got out of the ring while the New Age Outlaws came out. Morgan smiled at them, thinking about Chyna and her time in DX. When The New Age Outlaws got in the ring, Road Dogg grabbed the mic. 

"Cut the music. City of brotherly love, welcome to the Dogg house!" Road Dogg said and the crowd cheered in response. 

Morgan watched in amazement while Road Dogg was cutting a promo.

"I need all the help I can get Philly, so let's get silly." Road Dogg continued. She started repeating all the words Road Dogg said and so did the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, tonight D Generation X, proudly presents its five time WWE tag team champions of the world~!"

Morgan pointed to the New Age Outlaws when everyone said Tag Team Champions of the World. Roman was leaning on the announce table with his arms crossed, looking at Morgan with amusement. 

"The Road Dogg, Jesse James, the Badd Ass Billy Gunn, the New Age Outlaws!"

The crowd cheered loudly and Road Dogg gave the mic to Billy. 

"All right...All right, Philly, how loud can you get?" Billy asked and they cheered loudly in response. 

"No, no, I mean how can you get?" He asked again and they cheered louder. "And if you're not down with that, we got two words for ya!" He yelled and put the mic up in the air.

"Suck it!" Morgan and the crowd yelled as her teammates looked at her. "What? I like them, they're awesome." She shrugged. 

The New Age Outlaws pointed at her while she smiled at them and put her hands on her hips. Dean put his hands on his hips and rolled his eyes, shaking his head.

"Morgan, cut it out." Seth lectured.

"Nope." She stuck her tongue out at him and turned her attention to the New Age Outlaws to do the DX taunt while they returned it to her.

"Looks like Morgan is having a little fun," Cole said.

CM Punk came out as the crowd cheered loudly. "And their tag team partner, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 218 pounds, CM Punk!" Lilian announced.

"I got three words for ya, it's clobbering time!" Punk yelled and did his taunt. 

Morgan smirked while standing at ringside as The Shield got on the apron. Roman showed a smirk on his face while Punk walked down the ramp, still satisfied with his victory over him. 

Instead of getting in the ring, Punk turned his attention to Morgan and began to walk up to her. 

"Uh oh," Cole said while Morgan looked his way. "CM Punk and Morgan had a great match on WWE Main Event. She lost but he told her that she earned his respect. Will we see another match between these two?"

"I hope so. These two are interesting to watch." JBL looked on as The Shield started to glare at Punk. 

The two began to walk up to each other and faced off.

"Chill boys. She can handle herself." Punk glanced over at The Shield who stood around her protectively.

"Ah, it's the guy who made me pass out with that submission." Morgan greeted in a low tone.

"And here's the wild chick. I hope you know that I want another match."

"I know you do. And guess what? You're in luck because you're going to get one. Real soon. I promise."

"Glad things are going my way now." Punk grinned.

"Don't get too cocky. The reason I want to face you again is because I want to beat you." 

Punk nodded and got in the ring.

'Ding Ding Ding'

"Cm Punk is gonna start things off with Dean Ambrose," Cole said. 

They lock up and Punk catches him in a headlock until he tags in Road Dogg.

"Don't break his arm!" Morgan exclaimed when Billy was in the ring with Seth, putting him in an arm submission. 

The crowd chants 'You Still Got It'.

Punk and his team start to have a back and forth match with The Shield until Punk tries to kick Dean but he rolls out the ring. Morgan jogs up to him and checks on him. Seth gets in the ring while Punk is distracted and gets picked up for the GTS. Roman gets in and pulls Seth off of Punk and they try to attack him but Punk rolls away while Seth and Roman get thrown out of the ring by the New Age Outlaws.

"Come on people!" Road Dogg hyped up the crowd while The Shield tried to regroup. 

When Smackdown comes back from a commercial, Dean takes control of Road Dogg until he gives him 3 left jabs, does the shimmy and knocks him down with the right punch. He walks to the ropes and does the shimmy again and drops a knee on Dean. He pins him for a two count and throws Dean to the ropes while Seth tags himself in. Morgan helps Dean get out of the ring while he puts an arm around her, which makes Road Dogg confused. He turns around, only to be hit with a diving knee from Seth and pins him but Billy breaks it up.

"Come on!" Seth yelled. He drags Road Dogg to his corner while Dean gets back on the apron. "Isolation! Isolation." 

The Shield begins to take control of Road Dogg and talk trash to him. While Dean is in the ring with Road Dogg again, he mocks his jabs and begins to do the wave, kind of similar to Road Dogg's shimmy.

"Oh~" Roman and Seth exclaimed while Morgan looked amused. 

Road Dogg manages to punch him and run to the ropes but Ambrose knees him in the stomach. Road Dogg yells out in pain and Dean tags in Rollins. He runs to the ropes and hits Road Dogg with a dropkick to the upper body while Seth runs and hits him with a single leg dropkick. He pins him for a two count and begins to put him in a headlock.

'We Want Morgan!' The crowd chanted while she grinned at the crowd. 

"Philly, you rock!" she shouted as they cheered her on.

She started tagging some hands at ringside while The Shield continued to take control of Road Dogg.

Road Dogg starts to fight back while Morgan goes back to watching the match. Road Dogg manages to tag in Punk while Seth tags in Dean. The crowd gets hyped once Punk starts to take control and begins to do his signature moves. He hits him with a running knee off the turnbuckle and tries to go for the clothesline but Ambrose ducks it. Punk kicks him in the stomach and hits him with a crossbody but Dean kicks out at two.

"Yes! Come on Dean!" She banged on the mat.

Punk goes for the GTS but Dean counters and tries to go for the headlock driver but Punk reverses it and throws him to the ropes. They both go for a crossbody and collide with each other. 

"Dean! Are you okay!?" She exclaimed. 

Dean holds his stomach and winces in pain. Roman and Billy Gunn get on the apron and they both get tagged in. Billy starts hitting Roman with some right hands and a big boot to the face. 

Seth gets in the ring but gets slammed on the mat as he rolls out of the ring. 

"Billy is on fire!" JBL chuckled.

Billy hits Roman with a suplex and pins him but Dean breaks it up. Road Dogg gets in the ring but Dean ducks his clothesline and clotheslines him out of the ring. 

Morgan goes to check on Roman, who is lying down, in a corner. 

Meanwhile Punk manages to hit Seth with a suicide dive outside the ring, laying him out. Billy is about to do the Famouser on Dean but Roman hits him with an awkward but effective spear because of how he was positioned, near Dean. 

"Oh and a spear! A spear by Roman Reigns!" Cole exclaimed.

"1!"

"2!"

"3!"

"Here are your winners, The Shield!" Lilian announced.

"How impressive is Roman Reigns?" Cole asked while The Shield got out of the ring. Roman held his shoulder while The Shield jumped over the barricade. "I see no cracks in the armor of The Shield. The Shield victorious again, on Friday Night Smackdown."

'WWE Exclusive Video'

"Hey, did I come at a bad time?" Morgan asked, at The Shield's hideout, seeing Roman shirtless.

"Nah, what's up?" Roman asked sat on a crate while she stood in front of him.

"I came to check on you. I saw you holding your arm out there, I just wanted to see if you were okay."

"Yeah, I'll survive."

"You love trying to act tough when you're in pain. Who are you trying to impress?" She smiled and gave him a bag of ice.

He smiled and put the bag of ice on his shoulder. "And there it is,"

"What?"

"There's that smile again. Keep smiling for me. It makes me happy with you smile like that. It makes me forget about the negative things."

"For you, I will," she replied and saw that it looked like he had something else to say. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"You don't look fine. What's wrong? If something is eating you, just tell me. I'll listen."

"I'll tell you soon."

"Roman..."

"I will, all right? I will tell you soon. Just give me a little bit of time to collect my thoughts,"

Not wanting to pry, she nodded. "Okay. I'll see you later," she kissed his cheek and left.

'At Catering'

Melanie was backstage with the Total Divas. "I am freaking out! Where are the grapes? Where are my grapes?"

"Colby took them," Jojo confessed.

"Jojo, you snitch!" Colby shouted. 

Jojo giggled and stuck her tongue out at him. 

Melanie saw him sitting with Jon and Joe and decided to march over to him. 

"Oh shit." Colby quickly got out of his seat and was about to run but Melanie grabbed him by his vest and put him in a headlock.

"Where are my grapes?" The Philly girl yelled.

"I don't know!" Colby exclaimed.

"Where are my freaking grapes? I had a bag of grapes that had my name on it. I haven't had grapes in a few days. Where are my damn grapes?"

"I ate them!" he confessed.

She released him. "Are you kidding me?"

Colby started laughing but quickly dodged her kick. "Ya missed! And you missed again!" He dodged her other kicks.

"You are going down. Next time, I'm going to body slam you on the table."

"Haha, you can try." He taunted while Melanie sat back down with the Total Divas.

Jojo giggled. "You're crazy, Melanie."

"She's the grape monster, what do you expect?" Ariane said. 

Melanie started to calm down while the girls talked about shoes. She decided to prank Colby approaching him with an apple that had a gummy worm in it.

"You're not gonna hit me are you?" Colby grinned.

"Nope, here." She gave him the apple.

"Nice, an apple Holy crap!" Colby threw it across the room while Melanie laughed. "There was a worm in there!"

"Haha, it was a gummy worm, chill!"

"Ah, you're a piece of work."

'Next Day'

Melanie was in her hotel room with Ariane and Trinity. She had a plate of cake in her hands and saw her slippers in the kitchen. She decided to slip them on but when she tried to walk, she fell face first, onto her cake. 

"Ooh~" Trinity exclaimed and got off the couch. "You okay girl?"

"Damn, what happened?" Ariane asked.

"He is so dead!" Melanie managed to get up while Trinity laughed at her face smeared with cake.

"And I got it on film." Ariane grinned with her phone out. "Sending it to Colby right now."

"He is so dead when I see him." Melanie went to the bathroom and wiped her face. "He better enjoy that video while he can."

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 45- BTS in Kota Kinabalu

Chapter Summary: BTS head to Kota Kinabalu for vacation

Words: 6,000+

------- After arriving in Malaysia, the members walk to the pool in the morning for their set of photos.

Jennie happily walked with J-Hope, who kept raving about her toned muscles.

“Jennie, you’re getting more muscular! What has Jungkookie been teaching you?” He exclaimed, squishing her toned arms.

She laughed at how baffled he looked. “What? We’ve been working out together for a long time.”

“Do you see this, Jimin!?”

Jimin giggled in the background and agreed with him. “She’s getting stronger, that’s a fact. But her arms are not better than mine~!”

Miss Bangtan snorted at his silly comment and turned her attention back to J-Hope. 

“Do I really look stronger?” She asked.

“Tremendously! What will ARMY think when they see your arms?” J-Hope exclaimed.

“And don’t forget those developing abs. Helped by yours truly.” Jungkook called out, loud and proud with a smug look on his face. “97 Liners are getting stronger every day. Hyung, get with the program.”

Jen let out a laugh when Jimin and J-Hope began complaining to the Golden Maknae. 

“And the heat is on.” She put her sunglasses on, feeling her black skin warm up quickly from the searing heat of the sun.

After the group and pair photos, Jen settled for relaxing on a lounge chair at pool side, occasionally giggling at Suga’s enthusiasm for their vacation. He looked so cute bouncing up and down on his chair.

“I think this is the best day since debut. I can’t stop smiling.” He rejoiced.

“That’s a good thing.” Jennie’s voice was heard in the background while the camera filmed him

“If it weren’t for the shooting, I would put them all in the water by now.” Jin laughed.

Jen chilled on her chair while the other members played around near the pool. Jimin had found himself leaping in the pool while the photographer snapped away. Jin followed suit and soon after, they were joined by Jungkook and J-Hope, goofing around in the water.

The four boys began to observe Suga, Jennie and Rapmon at pool side and pondered who to go after first to place in the pool.

‘Their eyes are moving fast. Beep beep, target located!’

Jungkook had whispered in Jin’s ear to suggest going after Suga first. The four mischievous members commenced their plan as they walked out of the pool. J-Hope grabbed a hold of Suga’s ankles while Jimin grabbed a hold of his arms. Jin and Jungkook join in to aid in dragging the rapper into the pool. Suga laughed at his fate and so did the staff and the rest of the members.

Jen watched them goof around as she shook her head in amusement.

‘I high-key hope they aren’t planning on going after me next.’ She had hoped they would spare her. 

She watched Rap Monster swiftly put himself in the water before the members could go after him. Seems like he got the hint and might as well accept his fate.

Jimin and V turned their attention to the last member who had yet to get in the water and yelled, “Woooooooo!” as they began to slowly walk out of the pool to go after Miss Bangtan.

“Hahaha, no. No, go away. No!” She begged as her laughs got louder once Jimin grabbed her legs while V grabbed her arms. “Guys!”

“Time for a swim, Ennie!” V giggled.

“One...two...three!” The 95 Liners countdown, swinging her body back and forth. 

She let out a high pitched yelp as she was tossed into the pool. A loud chorus of cheers was heard by the members while Jimin and V jumped back in the pool.

Swimming up to the surface, Jen took out her bun and placed her hair tie on her right wrist. “Y'all gonna pay for that, I hope you know what you got yourselves into.” She called them out and was met with giggles from them. 

“I’m deadass. Watch your back.” She playfully threatened.

After taking group pool photos, Jen floated on her back in the pool before turning her attention to Jungkook putting on a swim mask.

“This is the same size as my nose. It fits me perfectly.” He said on camera and showed her what he looked like with the mask on.

“Wow, it really is the exact size of your nose. That thing is huge on your face, Kook.”

“Hey, you’re really ugly.” Suga acknowledged the Golden Maknae. “You look like Squidward.”

“Jeez, Suga!” She exclaimed.

“What? It’s true.” The Daegu rapper shrugged.

Afterwards, Jennie hung around V for a while and he showed off his swim goggles to her because he thought he looked funny in them. Suddenly, he started laughing out of nowhere because of them.

“Wh-what-is so funny?” She asked, laughing with him because his laughter was infectious. 

Once he took the goggles off, his strap came loose and he looked baffled at what he had done. 

Jennie stared at him in disbelief and pointed to the broken strap. “How!?”

Jimin walked over to them to see what they were going on about and noticed V fake crying. “Why are you crying?” He asked in confusion.

“He broke one of the straps. Hold on, I got it. Give it here.” Jen took the goggles and started to fix them. 

After a minute, they were good as new and she handed them back to him.

“You did it! Thank you, Ennie!” V cupped her face, placing a big kiss on her forehead.

“You’re very welcome.” She chuckled. 

Her chuckling ended up in a fit of giggles when he gave her two extra kisses on both cheeks due to his excitement that his goggles were fixed.

V, Jimin and J-Hope started to perform part of I Need U on top of the deck while they still had free time. 

“Let me join!” Jennie made her way to them and was helped up by Hobi. “Five, six, seven, eight!” She started off dancing to the chorus with the guys following her. 

But when she went down for the bodyroll, she lost her balance and fell down with V. She laughed at her clumsiness while lying on her back while V rolled around. Jungkook joined them soon after and they all danced around, acting silly. Out of nowhere, V roughly shoved Jimin into the water and everyone started cracking up.

“Oh no!” She exclaimed when he shoved Jungkook into the water, next. Her laughter was short lived when V had turned his focus to her.

“W-wait I thought we were friends! Tae!” She yelped as she almost lost her balance, putting her hands in front of her for some type of defense. 

She intertwined her fingers with his as he attempted to push her into the pool, giggling at her struggles. Fortunately, Hobi came to her rescue by grabbing her away from him. He got in front of her and got into a fighting stance with the 95 Liner, to fight on her behalf. But then, Jungkook got back up from getting shoved in the pool and went straight after V.

“Uh oh, you done it now.” Jen teased, anticipating his punishment.

V started to apologize profusely while nervously laughing as he tried to back away from the Golden Maknae. Eventually, Jimin and Jungkook tossed him into the pool as another round of laughter erupted.

“Hey!” She felt two pairs of hands on her back as she fell right into the water. Swimming up, she detected Hobi and Jungkook laughing at her. “Oh, it’s like that huh?” 

She swiftly grabbed a hold of Hobi’s ankles, causing him to fall on his back. He shrieked and held onto Jungkook and Jimin who tried to pull him back.

“How is she so strong!? Don’t let her get me, do something!” Hobi yelled. He screamed when she finally pulled him into the water. “No! No! Jennie, no-“

His begs were silenced as she tried to playfully drown him for revenge, causing a play fight between the two. Hobi with no avail since her persistence was no match for his escape skills.

“Get her!” Jungkook shouted and jumped in with Jimin. 

They attempted to grab her but she held a death grip, wrapping her arms and legs around the Sunshine of BTS. Hobi’s loud sound effects and yelling only made the situation funnier.

‘At The Zoo’

After having fun at the pool, the members got ready for their second photo shoot, heading to the zoo. The members sat on the bus for a ride to the zoo.

Jungkook with his camera turned to Jennie who sat across from him. “Say cheese!”

She posed for him, putting up a peace sign and her trademark grin as he snapped away.

When they arrived, they rode on the train. Jen had fanned herself with her paper fan, due to the humidity and smell of the zoo. She sat with V while he announced various animals for J-Hope to impersonate.

“Let’s do a chick,” V announced

“Cheep, cheep.” Hobi eagerly answered.

“Cow.”

“Moo.”

“Lamb.”

“Meh!” He screeched

“Lion.”

“J...J-Hope!” Jimin spoke.

“ARGHH!” Hobi yelled, causing the members to laugh.

As they rode the train they spotted various animals until they arrived at the Elephant Cage. Jungkook was quick to whip out his camera to snap pictures. 

“Wow, they’re huge,” Jen murmured in awe as she walked over to look at the elephants. She snickered when Jimin and Jin shrieked when the elephant roared unexpectedly. “You good?”

“Whoa! I was really freaked out.” Jin exclaimed. “I’ve never seen an elephant shout. I’ve been around Seoul Grand Park for more than 10 years, and never seen elephants roar.”

“You see something new every day.”

“Indeed. That was something else...wow...”

The next animals the members saw were orangutans. They tossed apple slices at them while watching them reach out and pick them up. The next destination is a petting zoo where they can touch the baby elephants. 

“Aw! Look at how cute it is!” Jennie joyfully made her way to one of the baby elephants, eagerly petting its trunk. “Hi! You’re so cute.”

Following that, the members proceeded to see a snake, getting a chance to pet and take a picture with it. Jen was paired with Hobi since they were the last ones while the rest of the members calmly took photos with the snakes around them.

“J-Hope and Jennie!” Their names were announced.

Noticing his body tense, Jen placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder as he glanced at her with a terrified expression. “Relax. It’s going to be okay, I promise. It’ll be over before you know it.”

They each sat in their seats. Jennie watched as he screamed in horror when the trainer attempted to place the big snake over his shoulders. 

“J-Hope! It’s okay!” She laughed with the rest of the members. 

His reaction was priceless.

‘Baffled, the trainer tries to calm down J-Hope who is even more baffled.’

Meanwhile, Jennie got her snake placed over her shoulders. It felt heavy and its scaly skin felt strong. She loosened up her body by giving herself words of encouragement.

“Keep a cool head. It’s just a snake. It won’t hurt you. Breathe, girl, breathe.” She felt it slowly moving around her shoulders as she posed for the photos. Meanwhile, J-Hope was a hot mess and looked like he was about to cry because he was so terrified.

“Ah! This doesn’t feel right.” He cringed.

With Jennie, the snake started to move and its head went near her face. She turned her head to the side and met the snake’s look. It stuck out its tongue briefly and her stomach dropped from its sudden actions. After some deep breaths, she started to speak to it.

“Well, hello to you too, Ms. Snake. I’m surprised I didn’t freak out yet.” She turned to J-Hope, whose face had gone pale when the snake’s other half of its body was on his lap. “Oh Lord...he’s about to pass out from petrification. Hey, you good buddy? Don’t pass out on me.”

“Ha-ha-ha!” Jin’s signature laugh was heard as he continued to watch J-Hope’s suffering.

Afterward, J-Hope finally posed for his photos and both he and Jennie got their snakes taken from them. 

“Hey, that wasn’t so bad. It’s cool. It was nothing. Really nothing.” He reassured, claiming it was a piece of cake.

“Oh really?” Jennie sarcastically asked. 

After they left the snakes, they checked out the cute parrot and fed it sunflower seeds. Sitting in a seat, Jennie had the bird on her arm and looked at it with a smile, before professionally taking her photos with it.

After the day at the zoo, the members headed to their rooms and sat down for an interview on their day.

‘How did it feel to arrive at Kota Kinabalu airport?’

“I felt so welcomed! Beautiful place. I love the hot weather.” Jen beamed. “I’m glad I packed right for the weather. We received necklaces once we arrived. It was so cool. I would love to learn more about their culture and traditions. Also, try their food.”

‘How did it feel when you arrived at your resort?’

“Um! Is this place real!? I need to turn up here. What I need to do is bring my family here, one day. It’s a wonderful vacation spot. The pictures I’ve seen of this place don’t do it justice.”

‘Did you have fun at your 1st location, the swimming pool?’

“Oh, you already know I did. Cooling down with the sun beaming down on you, was worth it. Although I still feel like I haven’t gotten my revenge on the guys shoving me in the pool...I must plot their deaths. I think BTS will have 4 members remaining soon, muahahaha! Ah, I’m kidding. I love them so much. You know, it’s been a long time since I’ve had that much fun in the pool. I stayed in the pool for so long that I became a prune.”

‘How did you like your 2nd location, the zoo?’

“Ha! The highlight of that trip was J-Hope’s reaction towards the snake, hahaha. Oh, poor J-Hope.”

‘What are your goals for tomorrow’s shoot?’

“Look fabulous and take amazing photos. I’m looking forward to our next destination, I know it’s going to be a great place to shoot. I just hope Suga, Rapmon and Jin will be active tomorrow! They are such old timers, gosh.” She started clapping her hands. “Stop sitting around, we are in Malaysia! BEAUTIFUL MALAYSIA! LIVE! LET’S LIVE! V and I need to get them to move around more. Rapmon particularly. He always wants to listen to his music, let’s have fun while we’re in Malaysia.”

“Those two were talking about me, weren’t they?” Rapmon asked in his interview. “Aish, these kids. Tomorrow, I won’t be like that. I might be.” He let out a laugh. “But I’ll try not to. Dear younger ones, if I’m excited it’ll be you who are tired. Because once I have fun, I can’t control myself. So, it’s better that I’m calm. If I’m excited, I can dump all of you in water.”

“He said what!?” Jennie questioned the interviewer, putting her hair in a bun.

After their day, BTS and the staff go to dinner. V and J-Hope were on stage dancing around, while the members laughed. Suga started bouncing up in down in his seat with his mouth open, laughing out loud because their dancing was too much. 

Jen had joined them and soon a professional dancer started teaching them the basic steps of a dance. She was complimented that she learned fast while V and J-Hope struggled briefly with what the dancer was trying to do.

She had asked the dancer questions about the dance and briefly chatted about the culture. Her interest had heightened once she saw the dancer perform.

At night, in their room, the members showed off their luggage on camera. Jennie roomed with Rap Monster and she watched in the background as he showed off various hats, a book, fan letters, and other items.

“Okay, let’s check out my bag.” She opened her small gray suitcase. With no surprise, it was straight up Nike apparel. “Let’s see...Nike sunglasses, Nike hats, Nike shirts, my favorite, lucky white Nike sneakers...”

“What the-Nie Nie, do you mean to tell me you have all Nike in your bag?” Rap Monster exclaimed, staring at her suitcase in disbelief.

“These earrings aren’t Nike.” She pointed out.

“What are we going to do with this one?” He asked on camera, shaking his head.

“What? This is my favorite brand!”

“At least we know Nie Nie is one of the easiest to shop for when it comes to gifts. Nike gift cards, Nike sneakers. Easy person to shop for. Oh and smarties, too.”

After their banter, she sat with him at the desk, opening her notebook. “Time for our picture journal!” She announced to the camera sitting on the desk, recording them. She started to draw stick figure pictures of herself and the members in the pool. “I’m not much of a drawer. I love to color though.”

“Oh really?” Rapmon asked with interest.

“Uh huh. Coloring is my favorite thing to do. I bring adult coloring books with me to ease my stress. You should see the pictures.”

“Do you have the coloring book with you now?”

“Yeah, it’s in my bag.” She got off her seat to get it and showed him a random page in the book.

“Wow. This is really good, Nie Nie.”

“You think so? It’s just random coloring. And I didn’t color outside the lines this time.” She patted herself on the back. After chatting about coloring, they go back to drawing. “I gotta draw Hobi being scared of the snake.” 

“That was priceless. I’ll never forget his face.” He shared a laugh with her. 

“I’m not good at drawing but I’ll make this a rough drawing.” He quickly wrote down his summary of the day.

“The end.” He got up and placed his pen down, heading to bed.

Jen let out a light chuckle at how quickly he finished and continued to write. After she was done, she decided to visit Jungkook and Tae’s room, while the cameras were done filming for the day. Knocking on the door, Tae instantly opened it.

“Hey, hey!” She greeted, walking into his room.

“Ennie! What brings you here?” He brought her in for a tight hug, cheek against cheek.

“I came to be nosy and see how you two were doing. I’m not quite ready to sleep, so decided to let Joonie sleep in peace while I chill with you guys.”

“Is he snoring loudly?” Jungkook asked from his bed, in his white shirt and shorts.

“Not yet. He wasn’t fully asleep when I left. Only resting in his bed, on his phone. You know how he’s always on his phone.” She made herself comfortable on Tae’s bed. 

She had brought nail polish to paint her nails and toes while she continued to chat with Kook and Tae. Taehyung had offered to take over with painting the rest of her nails since she had finished her toes.

“What do you think we’re doing tomorrow?” Tae asked.

“I dunno but I hope it’s something funner than today.” Jungkook anticipated.

“I hope it has something to do with water. I miss swimming.” Jen added.

The three of them agreed to watch a movie in the room until they got sleepy. Before she knew it, after 30 minutes passed, Jen found herself asleep on Tae’s bed. The two members didn’t notice until another 30 minutes had passed.

“Ennie?” Taehyung turned to see her knocked out while lying down next to him. “Jungkook, I think she fell asleep.”

“She did? She must’ve been really tired.” Jungkook briefly watched her sleeping peacefully. He felt a sharp pang of jealousy as he watched Taehyung gently placing a pillow under her head and pulling the covers on top of her. “You know she could just stay in my bed.”

“Ah, it’s okay. She had already fallen asleep on mine. Might as well let her stay in here.” Taehyung replied, unaware of Jungkook’s growing envy. 

Tae had gotten under the covers too and held her close, getting ready to fall asleep next to her.

Jungkook had grumbled to himself, feeling his annoyance heighten. He wished that she fell asleep in his bed so he could cuddle with her. Having enough, he decided to ‘accidentally’ turn the volume up too loud from the TV to wake her.

“Oh crap, sorry Hyung! Must’ve sat on the remote.” He quickly turned it down and noticed Jennie waking up from her slumber from the loud disruption. Once Jungkook explained what happened to her, she didn’t get mad at him for waking her up.

“I should get back to my room. I’ll see you two tomorrow.” She got off Tae’s bed.

“Night, night Ennie! Sweet dreams!” Taehyung happily said his goodbyes.

“You could just sleep in my bed. You don’t have to leave. Tae probably sleeps too wild for you, anyway.” Jungkook suggested.

“I don’t sleep that badly!” Tae defended himself.

“Ah, it’s fine. Nighty night, guys.” She headed back to her room.

Jungkook turned the TV off and prepared for bed, still upset that she left and didn’t get the chance to cuddle as Tae had briefly done.

The next morning, Jennie and Rapmon were already prepared for their next outing but Jen couldn’t seem to find her sunglasses. She looked high and low and finally decided to ask Rap Monster about it.

“Joon, you see my sunglasses?” She asked, going through her belongings.

“Uh...you mean these?” He sheepishly revealed the broken pair.

She widened her eyes and threw her arms up in the air. “What the hell, happened!?”

“I accidentally sat on them. I’m sorry! I’ll buy you another pair!”

“They were Nike!” She shouted.

“Ah, I knew you’d say that. Don’t yell! I got you with a new pair, I promise!”

“You’re lucky I brought another pair with me just in case.”

“Let’s hope I don’t break that one too.”

After their shenanigans, the members headed to Manukan Island. As the members walked to the boat, trying to avoid the sun, Jin walked with Jennie. 

“Sweetie, did you put on sunscreen?” He asked.

“Yeah, I did.”

“Put another coat of sunscreen, for extra protection.” He handed her the bottle.

“Jin, I’m fine.” She reassured him.

“Protect your skin!” He demanded, surprising her with his demanding tone.

The Maknae line laughed at her getting lectured by their oldest Hyung. She sighed and put another batch of sunscreen on herself for Jin’s ‘Extra protection’. Jin decided to help her by rubbing the sunscreen on her arms.

“Did you put sunscreen on your face?” he asked.

“Yes, mom,” she replied with an amused smile.

“Put another coat on.” He squirted a small portion of sunscreen in his hands, rubbing them together as she took her sunglasses off so he could moisturize her face.

“I think it’s rubbed in enough!” She exclaimed after a long time.

“I’ll be the judge of that. Are those sunglasses protecting your eyes from the sun?”

“Yes!”

“Are you sure? Do we need to buy you another pair? I know they’re Nike sunglasses but are they really protecting your eyes?”

“Jin, for the love of smarties, I’m good!”

“Good, good. I’m happy. I don’t want you to get any sunburns.”

On the boat, the members put on their life jackets and Jennie sat next to Jimin. As the boat began to move, their hair blew furiously in the wind, while Suga and J-Hope excitedly yelled, “Yayayayayayayaya.”

“OH YEAH!”

Jimin and Jennie burst out in laughter at Jungkook’s sudden yell in English.

After a brief ride, they arrived on Manukan Island to have a session of taking photos. Afterward, Jennie decided to relax on a hammock, but Jimin chose to barge in with a camera, relaxing right next to her.

“Yo, yo, yo! She grinned and waved at his camera.

“Yeah~! Guys, this is Manukan Island of Kota Kinabalu. Isn’t this amazing, Jennie?”

“Very. It’s lit!”

“Let’s capture this on camera.” He showed off the scenery of the beach. “Jesus, this is fine!”

“It feels even hotter than yesterday.”

“Fine weather, though!”

“Yeah, I can’t complain.”

“The sea is great, we’re great, let’s sleep!”

“I was here first, find another hammock.” She tried to push him off.

“It can fit two people!”

“Fine!” She got comfortable. “Don’t accidentally make me fall off this.”

“I’ll sing you a lullaby to make you go to sleep faster! Hush, little baby. Don’t you cry.”

“Sthap~!”

“Hehehehehehe!” He giggled loudly before the photographer came over so they could take pictures together, and then individually in the hammock.

After their photos, Jen stood, watching Jimin get off the hammock. 

“In here, I think my tone is more relaxed.” He said.

“It is. I love your melanin. It’s nice and natural. Don’t be ashamed for getting tanned, Chim Chim.” She said as they headed over to Jin to snap photos with him on the Hammock.

She truly hated the whitewashing people do in photos. She noticed that recently her photos were getting whitewashed and she wasn’t happy. There wasn’t anything wrong with colored skin. People need to stop making these K-Pop idols look like a bunch of ghosts. And it was sad that she saw such a huge difference from a natural photo to a white washed photo of herself and the rest of the members. And deep down it hurt her to hear the members feeling bad that they got tanned and wondered if she should confront them about it one day.

Later, the members took photos walking on the beach together. And even picked up Jennie as she was across their arms with a big grin on her face to conclude that area’s photoshoot.

'Extreme Sports’

“Time to get EXTREME! YEAH BOY!” Jennie yelled excitedly. J-Hope stared at her with fear. He was freaked out and was not a fan of things like this. “J-Hope, you’re going to be fine. It’s fun.”

She grabbed a hold of his hands and gave them a gentle squeeze.

“First the snake, now this? I don’t think I’m going to make it.” He shook his head.

“If you fall from here, a real shark can come and bite you.” Rap Monster pointed out when they were all seated.

“Now is not the time!” Jennie yelled. 

No way in hell she wanted to think about sharks attacking. 

She’d like to stay shark free.

“Yeah, don’t talk about sharks, it’s scary,” Jin added.

“I read the news about people who got bitten while riding banana boats.” Rap Monster informed.

“Well, I pray that we will not get bitten. I actually got stung by a jellyfish before.”

“Oh man, really? That must’ve hurt like hell.” Rapmon commented surprised at her statement.

“Oh yeah. It was terrible. It happened when I was younger. Before I came to Korea. I will never forget that day. It took almost two weeks to heal. I got stung on my foot when I was swimming.”

“Hopefully we won’t have to worry about any jellyfish. When the shark comes, pretend to be asleep, ok?” Rapmon advised.

“Shark? That’s for bears.” Jin corrected him

“Ah, then pretend to be dead! Don’t pretend to be asleep.”

“Um, I don’t think that is going to work.” Jennie shook her head.

After they come across the banana boat, they gear up with their safety equipment. Jennie was aided onto the banana boat, sitting behind Rap Monster. But once J-Hope tried to get on the boat, he started to slip, causing the staff members to panic. 

“Guys, grab J-Hope!”

A chorus of panicked screams was heard from the staff members as he started to fly into the air while the banana boat shifted away from the boat he was trying to get off of. The rest of the members laughed with him.

“I cannot! This has not been his day, has it?” Jennie mentioned with amusement.

“I want to die! I’m not doing this! No!” He yelled over everyone’s laughter. “I’m not doing this!”

Once he was safely on the boat, the members rode across the ocean. “Woo!” Jennie yelled as they went faster, bouncing up and down with the waves. Soon after, they were dumped off the banana boat.

“Ugh, I forgot how salty ocean water is.” Jennie spat out an accidental mouthful and coughed. 

She swam back to the boat and was helped up by the staff members.

After getting situated, the members prepare for the next activity. 

Parasailing. 

“Jennie, you wanna do this with me?” Jungkook spoke up before anyone else could ask her.

“Yeah, sure! Let’s do this.” She happily agreed.

The two of them are seated and strapped up before slowly backing away and rising up in the air. Jungkook held onto the camera to show off the landscape as they noticed the rope getting higher.

The butterflies in Jen’s stomach immediately went away as she looked around in amazement.

“Wow! Would look at that!” She skimmed around at how blue the ocean looked and the clear blue sky. “The boat looks so small from up here.”

“I know! The weather is really good, isn’t it?”

“I love it. I can’t even think of anything right now, this whole scene right here just makes me speechless.”

“I never knew the sea could be this large. I can’t see the end of it.”

Jungkook glanced over at Jennie with a smile as he watched her looking at her surroundings, taking everything in. Soon after she met his gaze and responded with a smile.

“Thanks for doing this with me. This is breathtaking.” He said softly.

“Thanks for asking me to join you.”

Before they knew it, the ride was over and it would be an experience they’ll never forget.

Later that day, Jennie got permission to do some shopping for a short amount of time and went with Jin to a local store. She wanted to buy some souvenirs to send to her family and to keep for herself. Splitting up with Jin to check out a different store right across, she browsed around. She had checked out key chains, hats, pens, and other gifts in the store.

Meanwhile, a 15-year-old girl had been nervously glancing at Jennie ever since she saw her walk in. Jen had felt eyes on her and decided to turn around to see who kept staring at her.

The girl looked African American with her big afro styled with a cute headband. Jennie gave her a small smile and went back to her shopping. She kept browsing around, waiting for the fan to speak up to her. She knew it was a fan because of the way she acted around her. She knew the fan really wanted to talk to her but was just nervous. Jennie wished that her fans wouldn’t be so intimidated to approach her.

Ten minutes later, Jen had picked out the items she wanted to buy and caught eyes with the girl for the 6th time. “Everyone always stares. Speak, sis! I don’t bite.” Jen teased her. 

The fan let out a giggle at her reaction and finally decided to approach her.

“I’m sorry, but are you Jennie from BTS?” The girl finally asked. The girl looked American and seemed to be vacationing in the area too, and luck had been on her side to be in the same store as a BTS member.

“In the flesh. Hiya!” She smiled brightly at the young fan.

“Oh my God, I love you so much! I’m sorry for bothering you, I know you’re probably busy. I’m shopping with my family and my little brother has a big crush on you. You’re my bias and you’re his bias wrecker in the group.”

“Aw, really? Thank you! Gosh, my mood just boosted. You got me all emotional.” She shared a laugh with the girl.

“I haven’t been a fan of BTS since day one, unfortunately. But I started to find out about you guys during the I Need U era. I still feel bad that I missed so much when you first debuted. Some ARMY can be a little mean about being fans longer than others.”

“Hey, it doesn’t matter if you just became a fan or have been here since day one. You’re still an ARMY and I know that you have such strong support for us. So please don’t feel discouraged. And I'm sorry some bad seeds in the fandom made you feel awful about not being there from day one. That's not cool. We appreciate the support from all our fans. From day one and who just became a fan today and so on. We love all our fans. No one is superior just because they’ve been a fan longer than others.”

“That just made me feel a whole lot better. Thanks for the kind words! I get so happy when I see you perform because I always tell my parents that there’s someone who looks like me in the K-Pop industry.” The girl explained as Jen’s eyes softened at her words. “Your hair and skin are just like mine. And you embrace your skin color, you never try to lighten it up for K-Pop and I admire that. It makes me feel good about myself. When I see your confidence in your skin and hair, it motivates me to love myself more. Thank you for everything you’ve done in BTS. Thanks for breaking boundaries and being a positive role model for me. I look up to you. Sometimes I can’t believe you’re real.”

Jen exhaled sharply as she felt her eyes water. “Damn girl. I dunno where these tears are coming from.” She wiped her developing tears. “Thank you...I never knew that I had that impact on the fans. Wow.”

“I usually get teased for my big hair. But I don’t want to change how I look just because people don’t like it. I love my hair and I want to wear it how I want it. No matter what haters think.”

“And continue to do that. You’re a beautiful girl. Got that beautiful melanin, pretty face and your hair is poppin’? Girl! Everybody better watch out. You’re slaying! Be proud of who you are and never forget your roots.”

“It’s Jennie!” A boyish voice was heard.

“And that’s my obnoxious little brother.” The girl sighed.

Jennie chuckled at her reaction and kneeled while the 8-year-old boy ran into her inviting arms.

“Hi!” She sweetly greeted him, hugging him tightly.

“You are so pretty.” The boy shyly told her after pulling away

“Now you’re getting shy?” The girl teased her little brother while Jennie stood up.

“Haha, you’re sweeter than smarties.” Jen ruffled his hair. “Thanks, little man. Oh snap, is that a Captain America shirt?”

“Uh huh!” He showed it off.

“Did you know that is my favorite superhero?”

“Really!?” His eyes brightened.

“Yeah! He’s way better than Iron Man. Just don’t tell Jungkook that. He’ll get in his feelings.” She teased as they shared a laugh.

“Do you mind if we take a selfie? I know you have things to do, we won’t keep you long.” The girl requested.

“Yeah, of course! Bring it in.” She took a couple of photos with the siblings.

“Thank you so much! I hope you and the rest of the members stay well rested.”

“Thank you. And you enjoy the rest of your vacation! And thank you for what you said to me. I have so many reasons why ARMY is the best and this is clearly one of them.”

“Well, I have many reasons why you are my bias. You being real, staying all natural, loving your skin and just being true to yourself are one of the many reasons why I love you. Have a great vacation with the members.” The girl left with her brother.

That entire conversation made Jen’s heart soar. Words like that just made her feel so appreciated.

After another photo shoot in a suite room, the members held microphones with their names on them. J-Hope stood in front of the camera to become an MC for the night. 

“I’m J-Hope. Today we went to an island called Manukan. I wonder how the members felt about it. So, I’m going to go around and ask them myself.”

After interviewing Jungkook and Jin, J-Hope headed over to Jennie. “Here we have Miss Bangtan, on her cell phone playing a game.” He announced, sitting next to her on the couch.

“Hello, hello!” She waved. “What can I do for you, J-Hope?”

“I want to talk about Manukan.”

“Manukan.” She nodded, gesturing him to go on.

“I wanted to know how you felt.”

“I wish we could have stayed longer. Being able to do all those activities, the scenery, everything, it was so breathtaking. My favorite part would have to be the parasailing. It was my first time doing something like that. I’m enjoying trying new things here.”

During the last night of the vacation, Jennie went off to the beach, to check out the sunset. She walked along the beach, near the water, as her feet felt warm against the hot sand. She stretched out her arms as she watched various tourists around doing their activities with their friends and family.

She briefly saw a young couple walk by, holding hands.

“So cute.” She turned her attention back to the ocean, standing in front of it as she observed the purple and orange sky while the sun was setting. 

This vacation was fun from start to finish, and she honestly didn’t want to leave yet. She was going to miss this place and hoped to come back one day.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist, pulling her against a chest. She smiled and looked down at the arms. 

“Who is hugging me?” She let out a chuckle and slowly turned her head, revealing that Jungkook was the one hugging her. He smiled down at her. “Interesting way to say hi. You never hug me like this. But keep doing it. It feels nice.”

“Good. What are you doing out here alone?”

“Wanted to check out the sunset. I never seen anything like this before.”

“I’ll join you.” He released her and they started walking on the beach together. “We're finally walking on the beach!"

"Long overdue!"

"Next we gotta walk on the beach in America.”

“Korea too!”

“How about everywhere we go when we get the chance?”

“Sounds like a plan. Now, time to do something ever since you came here!” She shoved him with all her strength, causing him to lose his balance and fall near the water. 

She let out a loud laugh and made a run for it, not looking back. Soaked, Jungkook got back on his feet, sprinting right after her. There was no way she was going to get away with what she had done. The sound of her laughter got louder as he found himself getting closer and closer. Once she looked back, she let out a yell in surprise and tried to run faster. But the Golden Maknae was better and caught her instantly.

Hoisting her up over his shoulder, he marched over to the water, ignoring her pleas. He tossed her right into the water so she could get soaked just like him. Laughing at her suffering, he attempted to walk away but was caught when she jumped on his back, making him fall back down into the water.

After their play fighting, Jungkook let her stay on his back as he gave her a piggyback ride while he walked around the beach with her, casually chatting about the latest antics of the members.

The next morning, the members were back on the airplane, getting into their seats. Jungkook eagerly wanted to sit with Jennie this time since he didn’t get the chance to on the airplane trip to Kota Kinabalu. With a sharp eye, Jimin watched Jungkook’s facial expression change into irritation when he saw that he was sitting in the middle while Jen sat by the window. 

After getting enough amusement from Jungkook’s jealousy, he decided to switch spots with him. There was an empty seat next to Jimin, so he moved there, while Jungkook sat in the middle, next to Jen and Jimin.

His bunny smile appeared ten times wider, while Jimin giggled at him. Jen took out her phone and placed an earbud in her ear. She offered one to Jungkook and he happily accepted it, getting comfortable.

Pressing shuffle, It Won’t Stop by Sevyn Streeter featuring Chris Brown played. With Sevyn Streeter being one of Jennie’s favorite artists, and Jungkook being a fan of Chris Brown’s music, both of them expressed how much they enjoyed one of their favorite artists together in a song.

I love when you pulling up in your jeep

Bumping all your beats

Js on

With your shades on

Just to bring me something to eat

You the man up in these streets

But when it comes to my heart

That don't mean a thing no oh

As they listened to the song, Jennie looked out at the window while Jungkook was on his phone, playing one of his random games.

Every little thing you do got me feeling some type of way (way)

When you give me that thunder you make my summer rain

(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)

(Oh oh oh oh oh)

Everyday, everyday

“And it won’t stop. Boom, boom, ooooohhhhhh.” The two of them simultaneously started to sing as their voices effortlessly blended in a melodic tone. Surprised to hear the other singing, they glanced at each other and smiled. “And it won’t stop. Boom, boom, ooooohhhh. With every single part of me, my love for you is constantly. Forever and ever on repeat, on repeat. And it won’t stop. Oh, oh, ooooooohhhhh.”

They ended up sharing a laugh. “I couldn’t resist. I love this song.” She mentioned.

“We should cover this.” He suggested.

“We should.”

“Before this year is over.”

“I’m down.”

Jungkook smiled softly when she laid her head on his shoulder as they continued to listen to the song. He laid his head on top of hers and they both rested their eyes, enjoying each other’s company and music. 

15 minutes later, Yoongi pointed out the Maknaes sleeping on each other. “Would you look at that...” He spoke up, amused. 

Jungkook’s mouth was open a little while Jennie’s lips were parted, sleeping peacefully.

“Taking pictures for blackmail.” Jimin giggled and snuck a few photos. 

Since he was sitting next to the sleeping duo, he took a goofy selfie of them, making sure to be able to post it on their Twitter account. 

“They’re going to kill us when they wake up.” Jimin went on.

Taehyung tried his hardest not to giggle so loud as he switched seats with Jimin to snap a silly selfie of himself with them. The selfie consisted of Tae about to put his finger in Jungkook’s nose.

“Your funeral gentlemen.” Namjoon chuckled.

‘Golden Maknae and Dauntless Maknae fell asleep. Time to mess with them! I hope they don’t kill us when they find out. Kekeke.’ Jimin posted the photos on their Twitter just before they flew up in the air to go back home.

I’m so looking forward to seeing Jungkook and Jennie relationship and see how they mature as adults are we getting any spicy smut scenes anytime sooner in the future, I’m loving this couple so much and it really does make me feel seen, especially with me being a black woman. It has a special place in my heart.❤️🫶🏽 thank you so much for bringing the story back

---------------------------

Ahhhh yasss!! I'm hoping to write some smut! Hehe I don't think I'm the best at it but I do want to write spicy and smut scenes with them in the future! So yes we gonna have smut and spicy scenes! :)

I have a plan for their first time together to be on her birthday in 2016 actually! It'll be in Japan. Apparently, her birthday falls around the time BTS have their 3rd Muster in Japan so I wanted Jungkook to have the day planned out to celebrate her birthday alone at Universal and Disney in Japan.

Forced To Believe Chapter 33- The Answer Is No

Chapter Summary: CM Punk continues to annoy Morgan with his ridiculous request. Morgan's rivalry with Tamina heats up again

Words: 6,000+

Author's Note: Lowkey tired of these total divas chapters lol. I'm going to put them on hold and focus on the main story in the ring for now as I edit. 

----

'RAW, during the opening segment'

The whole roster was on the stage while The Shield were on the side of the ramp, lower than them. Morgan was in her Shield attire but her stomach was taped up. They all watched as Triple H and Stephanie walked down the ring. Stephanie started talking about giving Orton respect and honor while Triple H began talking about the dawning of a new era.

While they talked, Dean held Morgan's hand and she looked up at him as he stood next to her. 

"What?" She asked.

"How's your ribs?" Ambrose asked with concern.

"They're fine." She replied dryly.

"Look, I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Just drop it."

"No, it's not." He turned to her and held her hands. 

His sudden movements caught the attention of some from the roster. Even the crowd started to look at them.

She looked around before meeting his gaze. "Dean."

"I was an asshole last night..."

"Dean."

"No, I need you to listen to me. Please. I'll admit, my anger gets the best of me at times but I want you to know that I'm proud of you." 

She looked around, feeling all eyes on her. "Dean, people are staring."

"I don't care. Look, I'm not used to having a girlfriend all right? I mean in a serious relationship that you and I have together. And I just felt like I always have to protect you, but you can handle yourself. You spread your wings. You're strong and the most beautiful woman I've ever met and I'm lucky to have a woman like you in my life. I know I'm not used to saying all this but you're the only one who can make me say this stuff." 

"What is going on back there and what are you all staring at?" Triple H called out as the titantron showed Dean and Morgan.

"Dean..." She murmured in a nervous tone as he kneeled down and held one of her hands.

"Last night, you've given me a reality check and I know you're trying to shine on your own in the ring instead of always having me around. I accept that." He clarified as she looked at him in shock. 

What the heck was going on? 

Did he hit his head? 

Did he just tell her what she wanted to hear for weeks?

"You drive me crazy, you can make me possessive at times but I love you and I know I have to get my act together. I just don't want you to leave me. If you did, I wouldn't know what I would do with myself."

He stood up and grabbed her face to kiss her as the crowd cheered. The kiss made her have butterflies in her stomach and she happily kissed back. Before they knew it, they were smooching.

"Ahem...ahem!" Triple H exclaimed but the two ignored him as they were too into their kiss. "Hey! Lovebirds of justice!"

His yell made them release each other and turn their heads to the ring. 

"Mr and Mrs Ambrose, stay focused." The King of Kings ordered, making everyone amused

Dean and Morgan held hands while Orton walked out. Unfortunately, they all had to sit and suffer through Orton's most annoying promo ever which would be a time waster. At least, that's what Morgan thought as she rolled her eyes.

"I've got news for everyone. I am the most powerful person standing in this ring. I am the champion of champions. I am the WWE World Heavyweight Champion." Orton said.

Morgan got handed a mic by a stagehand. She thought of the words she was going to say and then put the mic to her lips. 

"God...no one gives a crap!" She exclaimed as the crowd cheered and some of the roster nodded in agreement. 

Orton snapped his attention to the stage and looked annoyed. "Who said that? Who just said that?" 

Morgan raised her hand and grinned at him as the titantron showed her with a mic in her hands. "Hey, how ya doing?"

"No, no and no. You are not going to ruin my moment Morgan! You're supposed to be supportive of me."

"Am I now? I thought we dropped that once I kicked your ass in the ring, months ago and gave you a low blow. Now, instead of wasting everyone's time, can we wrap this up? There's grapes in catering and they're calling my name."

"Morgan. Shut your mouth. Your mouth always gets you into trouble "

"No one! Wants to hear you talk." She walked to the ramp and Cena helped her up because of her ribs. She thanked him and stood a little bit in front of the roster. "Randy, nobody wants to hear the same bullcrap every time you get in that ring. I wouldn't be surprised if people change the channel when you get in the ring and talk."

"That's not true...that is not true!"

"Let me do a scenario of what I hear from you..." She cleared her throat and decides to mock his voice. "My name...is Randy Orton." She said in a deep voice as the crowd got hyped. Stephanie and Triple H looked on in shock as the roster laughed. The Outspoken Diva mimics Orton's serious face. "The champion of champions."

"Shut up!"

She began to mock his temper. "Nobody! And I mean nobody can beat me! I am the Apex Predator and The Viper! I demand respect! I deserve respect! I am the face of this company and nobody can touch me!" she continued to pace around like she was angry.

She stopped pacing and cleared her throat, going back to her normal voice as Orton started seething. "Dude, like, come on, we get it. We all get it. You won last night. Woopy doo. Let's give him a round of applause. Now can you shut the hell up so we all can go on with our lives? Thank you and good day." 

She saw Cena motioning her to give the mic to him and she gave it to him as he stood in front of the roster.

"Yes, I agree," Cena said. "You're an idiot."

"No, no, no. Turn his mic off. You will not ruin this moment for me, this is my moment. All of you need to shut up and stop trying to ruin my moment!" Orton yelled as Morgan looked amused.

"Randy...Randy...I'm not gonna ruin your moment. Last night at TLC you earned the title. Congrats. But I want to remind you of something that Stone Cold said about that championship. That championship forced you every night to put up or shut up."

"I see what you're trying to do but you will not get your rematch tonight Hunter, Hunter." Orton turned his attention to Triple H.

"Easy big guy. I wasn't talking about me. I was talking about you facing him." Cena pointed to Daniel Bryan. "Randy Orton versus Daniel Bryan. For the WWE World Heavyweight Championship."

Orton did not like the idea. "No, no. I don't have to listen to you...I don't have to listen to Morgan and I don't have to listen to Daniel Bryan or all these idiots sitting in the stands. I don't have to listen to anybody. Nobody."

"Except us," Stephanie recalled.

"Owned!" Morgan yelled.

"Morgan if you don't shut your mouth..." Orton said, trying not to lose his temper.

"You sure you want to speak to WWE's Outspoken diva like that? If I were you, I would praise her for the guts she had last night at TLC. She wrestled The Best in The World." Cena said as the crowd cheered while Punk nodded. "Heck, Punk wants a one on one rematch with her too because she impressed him."

"I honestly thought Punk was going to lose to The Shield last night but he proved me wrong. Morgan also proved me wrong," Cena continued to praise. "I thought she was going to back out but she showed guts to a man taller and bigger than her. She put her words into action as well and I give her respect for that. Now, she may have gotten her ribs hurt from Roman over there but she fought to her heart's content. I'll even bet you that she can kick your ass, Randy. And when was the last time a diva wrestled a WWE Superstar? One thing Morgan has that you don't is heart in that ring."

"No one can beat me! And I'll even beat the Outspoken of out her smart mouth." Orton snapped while Morgan grabbed the mic out of Cena's hands as he gave it to her. "And maybe Reigns didn't spear her hard enough to take away the smartness from her mouth." 

The crowd booed while Reigns shot Orton a dirty look and clenched his fist. He started to get angry and was about to walk to the ramp but Dean and Seth held him back. Morgan turned her head to him and shook her head as he calmed down.

She turned her attention back to Orton. "...Are you done talking? Orton, wait until 2014. You're going to be on my hit list soon enough. Watch your back. Now, I know we all want to go backstage and get on with the show, so please do everyone a favor and get to the conclusion of this segment, thank you very much."

Orton's face was getting red as she gave the mic back to Cena.

"Stephanie, aren't you going to do something about her?" Orton asked.

"I'm not touching that with a 60 foot pole..." She replied as she remembered the history she and Morgan had and the crowd laughed. 

'Backstage'

"Oh boy..." Morgan said as the camera turned to show CM Punk leaning on the wall as the crowd cheered. Punk looked at her and was about to speak but she cut him off. "I know why you're here. Punk, why are you so persistent in wrestling me? Is it because you want to take The Shield down one on one? You want to get the last laugh?"

"Everyone is talking about the men of The Shield and I want to know what The Shield's girl has in the tank. Everyone does since you gave me a preview at TLC. I want to wrestle you one on one, Morgan." he got off the wall and looked down at her. "And, I believe that you can prove you aren't the weak link of The Shield."

"There's no weak link in the oh...I see what you're doing. No wonder everyone thinks there's a weak link. You're getting in everyone's head."

"Morgan, why are you avoiding the question?"

"Why are you trying to do mind games?" She countered.

He smirked. "I know you want to wrestle me as much as I want to wrestle you."

"Don't flatter yourself...You see this?" She showed him her taped stomach. "You did this."

"And I know you want to fight me because of that. Get your revenge. Now answer the question, will you wrestle me when you're cleared?"

She sighed. "Look Punk, I'm honored-"

"But you aren't going to give me an answer because you want your boys to do your dirty work." he cut her off as the crowd 'Oohs'

She glared at him and was about to say yes but stopped herself. "I see what you're doing again. You're trying to provoke me to say yes. Look, how about this? We'll see about a match in the near future."

"I'm not giving up until you say yes." Punk called out as she started walking away.

"I know you aren't..." 

'Later, in the ring' 

HBK and Punk were having a promo until HBK said "This pains me, more than this is gonna pain you. Let me introduce you to your opponents."

'Sierra'

'Hotel'

'India'

'Echo'

'Lima'

'Delta'

'Shield.'

The Shield walk out as HBK got out of the ring. The titantron shows the WWE App and shows who will be Punk's tag team partners are for the match. It reveals to be the Usos as The Shield are at ringside. Punk starts mocking Roman's eye.

"Looks like Punk and The Usos are gonna have some fun." King said.

"How was that victory for CM Punk last night?" Cole asked.

"Well, you see Roman with that black eye and Morgan's stomach is taped up because of her ribs. Last night, she accidentally got speared by Roman. It was pretty hard to watch. I'm surprised she's out here tonight." 

"The Shield need to be on the same page tonight. They can't have any more miscalculations tonight. Especially with Roman's spear." JBL looked on as the bell rang

"Two losses in two nights would be devastating for The Shield," King said as Jimmy took control of Dean.

"How impressive was Morgan last night against CM Punk?" Cole asked as Jimmy tagged in Jey. "I still can't believe she had the guts to take on CM Punk."

"Indeed. She held her own last night." JBL said as Jimmy took control of Seth.

"She did want to put her words into action and she proved that. There were times I thought Punk was going to pin her to win and times when I thought Morgan was going to pin Punk to win the match." King added.

"Let's go, Seth!" She banged on the apron. Seth was not looking too good as Jimmy started to take control of him with arm submissions. 

Seth throws Jimmy to the ropes and hits him with a knee to the gut. Jimmy manages to clothesline himself and Seth out of the ring. Roman, Morgan and Dean were about to come to his aid but Jey and Punk got off the apron, ready to strike as the ref tried to separate them.

"Got a feeling this is gonna get out of hand," JBL said as they went to a commercial.

'Later'

"Things have not been going The Shield's way in the early going of this match," Cole said but then Seth tags in Roman as the crowd cheers. 

Roman starts to take control of Jey in the ring. Dean gets tagged in and puts Jey in an arm submission as the crowd chants 'CM Punk'.

Roman and Punk make eye contact as Punk starts mocking his black eye again. Roman really wanted to get in the ring with Punk and spear him in half so badly. To at least give Morgan some closure since she can't get in the ring right now. 

'We want Morgan, we want Punk, we want Morgan, we want Punk' chants surrounded the arena as Dean looked at Punk with annoyance. 

Punk smirked and put a finger to his ear while Morgan looked at the crowd in surprise. 

"And would you listen to this? They want Morgan in the ring." Cole said.

"I guess Punk versus Morgan is a match the crowd wants to see," JBL looked on. 

Later on in the match, Jimmy hits Seth with a crossbody and tries to tag in one of his partners. Seth tags in Roman and he drags Jimmy back and puts him in a submission. 

"Come on uce! You gotta fight! Come on!" Punk supported him.

"You gotta fight." Roman mocked. "Shut up."

Punk starts to hype up the crowd as Jimmy fights back against Roman and kicks him in the face. The crowd gets hyped when Jimmy tags in Punk and Roman tags in Dean. Dean and Seth get in the ring as Punk goes on the top rope and double clotheslines them. He hits them both with a running high knee and a double neck breaker. Punk then hits Dean with a suplex and pins him until Roman breaks the pin.

Jimmy gets in the ring but gets hit by a Superman punch from Roman. 

"Wow, that Superman punch!" JBL exclaimed. 

Jey gets in the ring, kicks Roman, and then throws him out of the ring. Jey runs and dives on top of him out of the ring but then Seth throws him into the barricade. Punk hits Seth with a suicide dive and turns his attention to Morgan. 

The Outspoken Diva looked down at Roman and Seth and slowly looked up to meet Punk's gaze as the crowd popped. 

"Uh oh." JBL looked on in anticipation 

She took a step. "...Problem...?"

Punk pointed at her. "Just wait until those ribs are healed. We will have a match together."

Ambrose runs to the ropes, attempting to attack him but Punk turns and hits him on the middle rope. Punk gets on the top rope and attacks him with the diving elbow and pins him for a 2 count.

"Ambrose stays in it for a near fall," Cole said as Dean started bleeding from the head while Punk put him in the GTS. 

Seth gets in the ring as Punk releases Dean and hits him off the apron. While Punk was distracted, Dean tags in Roman. Dean runs to Punk as he ducks his clothesline and Roman gets kicked in the face by him. Punk hits the GTS on Dean but when he turns around he gets speared by Reigns as Morgan looks on with a satisfied look. 

"A spear! A spear to Punk! Reigns is the legal man." Cole called out. 

Roman looked at Morgan as she mouthed 'Thank You' and he nodded. 

He pins Punk for the win as he holds his eye. 

"The winners of this match, The Shield," Justin announced.

"This was a much needed victory tonight," Cole said as The Shield got over the barricade and celebrated.

'SmackDown'

Morgan was at ringside while The Shield, Cena and Punk were in the ring. They all just found out that Daniel Bryan got attacked by the Wyatts and the match will now be a 3 on 2 tag team match. 

"Here we have the Outspoken Diva, Morgan Lopez on commentary with us. How are ya?" JBL asked

"I'm doing all right. Trying to take it easy." She smiled.

"The Shield look pretty confident now that the match is a 3 on 2 match," Cole said as Punk and Dean started the match. "What do you think of this match?"

"Honestly? It's anyone's match. Why? Because Punk outsmarted The Shield at TLC when he was alone. And now he has John Cena in his corner. The guy who never backs down from anything. It's going to be one interesting match." She replied as Punk and Cena took control of Dean.

Later on in the match, Roman hit Cena with a Superman punch and grinned.

"Roman Reigns hit Cena so hard," Cole exclaimed as he tagged in Seth. "And here comes to underrated Seth Rollins."

"I agree. This guy is awesome. He kicks ass every week and continues to prove himself." Morgan added.

"There are a lot of people who underestimate Seth Rollins," Cole said. "So, Morgan, we see that your stomach is still taped up. Are you in a hurry to get back in the ring?"

"Yes, but the rest of the women are kicking butt in the ring and proving themselves. I'm just looking forward to the competition." 

"Who would you like to face?" JBL asked.

"Hm...either Naomi, Brie, Kaitlyn, or Aksana. Aksana has improved in the ring and even on NXT. I want to see what she got." She replied. 

Seth puts Cena on the turnbuckle and is about to give him a suplex but Cena fights back and pushes him off. He tags in Ambrose but he gets hit with a tornado DDT by Cena.

"This is John Cena's opportunity," JBL said. 

Cena tags in Punk as the crowd goes wild. Ambrose tags in Seth and Punk starts to take control.

"Looks like Punk is going to fly," Cole exclaimed as Punk hit Seth with a suicide dive. 

The match was at a fast pace as Punk gave Seth an elbow drop off the ropes. When he gets up, he looks at Morgan.

"What?!" Morgan yelled. "Stop staring at me!"

Cole started chuckling. "Looks like Punk is trying to do some mind games."

"You see? Every week he looks at me, trying to taunt or provoke me to wrestle him." She grumbled. 

Punk smirks and does the GTS taunt towards her before putting Seth in the GTS position. Ambrose runs in the ring but gets hit with a neckbreaker along with Seth. Punk pins Seth but Roman breaks it up. 

"And let the chaos begin." She added as Punk and Reigns go at it. 

Ambrose and the rest of The Shield jump him and it results in a DQ. Cena throws Roman out of the ring and throws him to the barricade. He gets back in the ring to attack Ambrose. But when he turns around, he gets speared by Reigns. 

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, and this is why you should always watch your back." She said and took off the headset. 

The Shield started to attack Punk and hit Cena with the triple powerbomb. Punk spears Seth and starts unloading on him until The Shield gains the upper hand. Big E runs down the ring as the crowd gets hyped and Morgan gets on the apron.

"Guys! Let's regroup!" She shouted but watched as The Shield got thrown out by Big E. 

Punk gets in the ring with Big E and looks at her. The Outspoken Diva decides to get in the ring, too. 

"You two proved your point." she declared.

"You sure that's a good idea, Morgan? Bad ribs and all?" Cole asked.

"She can be reckless at times," JBL mentioned. 

Punk starts taunting her which makes her furious. The anger was too much for her and she decided to slap him in the face. 

"Uh oh!" JBL exclaimed as Punk held his face.

"You're angry, aren't you? So am I gonna have that match? Don't you wanna try to hurt me? Get your revenge?" Punk provoked before she slapped him once again.

"Shut up!" She snapped.

"Hey! What was that? Calm down." Big E exclaimed before getting slapped by her too.

"Who do you think you are, trying to order me around? I don't think so." She yelled as Big E rubbed the side of his face and looked at her. He stepped towards her and she took a step back. "Back up."

Big E wasn't going to hurt her, but he was going to try to get her out of the ring by intimidating her. 

"Oh, wait, wait, look at this," JBL exclaimed as Roman slid into the ring. 

He grabbed Morgan's hand and gently pulled her behind him. He turned his attention to Big E and he got himself ready to fight.

"Oh, this is gonna be good," Cole said as Big E took off his straps.

"This is gonna be awesome. This is gonna be great." JBL grinned.

"It's time," Roman said.

"Bring it!" Big E got hyped up as he and Roman exchanged words. 

Morgan looked at them back and forth and decided to let them be but Punk got in the ring with a chair.

"He's got a chair. He's got a chair." Seth said to Roman. 

Morgan and Roman look at Big E and then Punk and decide to get out of the ring as the crowd boos.

"The Shield will retreat for now," Cole said as Big E's theme came on.

Morgan tweets 'I guess CMPunk really wants to get #Dropped. Keep it up and I'll kick you in the face #YouThinkImPlaying?'

'WWEMorgan101 Nice, is that an early Christmas present? Can I get a match too? #StillWaiting' Punk replies.

'Maybe. #PatienceIsAVirtue CMPunk' 

--------

'Next Week, Raw'

Morgan tweets 'Congrats to the #TotalDivas for winning the jingle belles match. You rocked it!'

Morgan also tweets 'Whoa wait a second, did I just see CM Punk, John Cena and Big E do The Shield's pose? #HeckNo #Injustice! #YouCantDoThePoseBetterThanTheShield'

'In The Ring'

The Shield were taking on Punk, Cena, and Big E. Morgan was at ringside as Cena and Dean started off the match. She could hear the 'Let's go Cena, Cena Sucks' chant as Cena takes control of Dean. Once Dean gets hit with a shoulder block, he tags in Rollins. 

Cena hits Seth with two shoulder blocks and a side slam. He looks at The Shield and does the 'You Can't See Me' taunt and runs to the ropes. Seth rolls out the ring to regroup. He angrily bangs on the apron four times in frustration.

"Hey! Look at me!" Morgan put her hands on Seth's shoulders. "Do not lose your cool. Calm down. You got this."

Later on, The Shield take control of the match with Seth in the ring with Punk. Punk's injured ribs begin to aggravate him when Seth throws him to the turnbuckle. Moments later, Roman and Punk are in the ring with each other. 

"I got a feeling Morgan is happy about Punk's ribs," Cole said as Roman put Punk in a bear hug while Morgan looked on in delight. 

Near the end of the match, Rollins jumps off the ropes but Cena catches him and goes for the AA Position as the crowd gets hyped. Roman gets in the ring and spears Cena off of Seth. 

"Oh and a spear!" Cole exclaimed. 

Punk hits Roman with a flying clothesline off the ropes as he falls out of the ring. Punk also clotheslines Seth out of the ring. Ambrose strikes Punk with a knee to the back and he falls out of the ring too. Dean turns around but gets caught in Big E's big ending finisher. 

Rollins and Reigns run into the ring and break up the pin as the ref calls for a DQ. The Shield begin to attack Big E and position him for the triple powerbomb. 

"Welcome to the deep end Big E," JBL said. 

Roman roars but gets his legs grabbed by Cena as he gets dragged out of the ring. Cena throws him to the barricade and runs into the ring with Punk. Big E hits Dean and Seth with a double clothesline. Cena hits the AA on Seth, and Punk hits the GTS on Dean as they roll out of the ring.

"Not cool..." She retorted as she and Roman helped out Seth and Dean.

Punk gets on the ropes and pointed at her. "Still waiting for ya!" 

'Smackdown'

Morgan was walking backstage but got pushed by Tamina. 

"Ow." Morgan held her ribs. "What was that for?"

"Aw, I'm sorry, did that hurt?" Tamina taunted.

"Yeah. It did." she bluntly replied.

"Too bad. So, I hear you won't be joining the Diva Battle Royal at Tribute to The Troops because of your little injury there." She pointed at her taped ribs. "Poor little girl, I guess wrestling guys is just too much for your body to handle. Maybe wrestling WWE Superstars isn't for you."

Morgan smirked. "Well, I don't see you wrestling WWE Superstars, so you're one to talk..."

Tamina grabbed her by the neck and pushed her to the wall as she winced in pain and grunted. 

"I'm going to say this right now, don't think I'm done with you. I'm still going to get you back from Survivor Series."

"You've gotta be kidding me...You're still on that? Jeesh and I thought I was the only one who keeps grudges." She retorted but then Tamina slammed her to the wall again as the Outspoken Diva grunted.

"What's the matter? Can't defend yourself? You need help? Who is going to help you, Morgan? Your boyfriend? One of your little Total Diva friends? You're weak and defenseless."

"No, you're weak. You're gonna attack me while I'm injured? How tough do you feel right now?" She grunted as she put her hands on Tamina's to try to lessen the choke.

"I can break you like a twig, little girl. In fact, I can do it right now." Tamina was about to push her to the wall again but heard a voice.

"Release her. Now." A growl was heard as she obeyed. 

Morgan held her ribs and throat as Tamina turned around. The camera showed Roman Reigns as the crowd cheered.

"This is between me and her. Not you. Stay out of my business, Roman." Tamina said, not intimidated by the Samoan.

"She's defenseless. How big do you feel right now? And she is my business. I'm not going to let you hurt her. Now, I'll ask you again. Get your ass out of here. Now." He growled.

Tamina smirked at him and walked away. 

"God, I cannot wait to kick her ass..." Morgan muttered.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he helped her.

The Philly diva started to look upset. "I hate feeling weak. Why can't these ribs just heal already?"

"You're not weak Morgan. It's going to take time for those ribs to heal. Don't beat yourself up. I admire you for your guts and toughness."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I'm just glad I was around before she did any more damage to you. It seems like she really wants to take you out."

"I know...but don't worry, it won't be long before I can get back in the ring." She reassured. "Thanks for helping me."

"No problem. I'll see you later." He started walking away.

"Hey, Roman?"

He turned around. "What's up?"

She smiled. "I admire you too."

"Good to know."

Morgan tweets 'Somebody is really desperate to take me out. Oh how I'm not surprised...'

'Later, in the ring'

Big E, Cena and Mark Henry take on The Shield while Morgan stands at ringside. Once the bell rings, Big E quickly takes control but Ambrose puts him in a headlock.

"Oh!" Seth exclaimed as Dean hit Big E with a knee to the midsection.

"That's gotta hurt..." Morgan murmured.

"Should of did your homework, E!" Roman yelled. 

Ambrose gets on the top rope but gets thrown off by Big E. He starts to hit Ambrose with clotheslines and does a belly to belly suplex on him.

"Come on Dean!" she cheered.

"Come on Dean, come on Dean," Seth said before he threw Big E out of the ring. 

Seth and Roman stalk over to Langston but then Cena and Henry come to the rescue. Dean gets out of the ring and pushes Roman's arm, to get him out of his way. 

"I'll get him." Ambrose declared as Roman glanced at his arm and back at Ambrose.

"Uh oh..." Morgan mumbled as she saw the tension between them.

Near the end of the match, Ambrose is caught with another clothesline and gets hit with the Big Ending to win the match.

"Big E picks up the victory," Cole said as Roman got in the ring and glared at Big E. Seth drags Dean out of the ring while Mark Henry gets in the ring.

'Ding Ding Ding'

"Big E gives his team a one to nothing lead," Cole informed.

"You okay?" Morgan put her hand on Dean's cheek as he sat down to take a breather.

"Yeah." He replied. 

Once he regroups, The Shield watch as Roman is thrown out of the ring.

"You all right?" Seth asked as Dean leaned on the barricade.

Mark Henry pushes Roman to the apron as he hits his back before throwing him back in the ring. 

"Come on Roman!" Morgan cheered.

"Come on Big man." Seth looked on as Roman kept getting hit with headbutts and then a big boot to the head. "Come on big man, you gotta watch out."

Roman fights back and hits Mark with a superman punch and pins him for a 2 count. He starts to wear down Henry with a headlock. Henry throws Roman up in the air as he falls chest first to the floor. When Roman gets up, he gives Henry a Samoan drop. 

"That is strength." JBL says. Roman roars and punches the ground. He strikes Henry with a superman punch and goes to the corner. He roars again before spearing him for the win. "That was impressive."

"Yeah!" The Outspoken Diva cheered. 

Once Roman gets out of the ring, she wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him on the cheek. 

"You did it!" She beamed as he grinned and chuckled in response.

In the ring, Cena and Seth lock up. Once Cena gives him a hip toss, Seth rolls out of the ring and bangs on the barricade in frustration. 

"Don't lose your cool. You got this." Morgan advised as her teammates tried to give him advice.

"Wear him down. Wear him down." Roman said as Seth nodded. "There you go." He said when Seth moved out of the way from the turnbuckle as Cena bumped into it. 

He starts to wear him down with stomps and puts him in a headlock to wear him down. 

"Rollins has a good game plan so far. One thing The Shield is good at is having a good game plan and sticking to it." JBL said. 

Cena stands up and walks back to push Seth's back into the turnbuckle. He goes to run towards him but gets kicked in the face. He gets pinned for a 2 count as Seth starts to get aggressive.

"Stay down!" Roman yelled. "What I tell you, John? If you stay down, we wouldn't have to put you down."

Seth hits John with a kick in the gut. The pace of the match was slow while Seth was taking control. Big E and Mark start to hype up the crowd as Cena hits Seth with a clothesline to buy himself some time. 

He plants Cena with a DDT and pins him for a 2 count as Roman puts his head on the apron. 

"Don't get frustrated. You got this. Keep your cool." Morgan said when Seth started banging on the mat after he kept getting two counts.

"Rollins is dominating John Cena, believe it or not," Cole said.

"You're gonna have to give up." Roman taunted as Cena leaned on the ropes.

"It's hard to get in the head of John Cena. He went through a lot of wars." Cole mentioned. 

Cena throws Rollins to the turnbuckle as he flips on top of it.

Morgan cringed at the impact. "Yikes! Are you okay!?"

"Ah~" Rollins groaned out in pain before flipping off the ropes, holding his lower torso. 

Cena starts hitting him with shoulder blocks but Seth counters his attack and plants Cena's face onto one of the turnbuckles.

"Awesome! Awesome counter!" she cheered 

"Come on Cena!" Big E said. 

Rollins mocks Cena's 'You can't see me' taunt and punches him down. Cena counters his attack and hits him with the five knuckle shuffle. He goes for the AA but Seth lands on his feet. Cena runs towards him but gets elbowed and hit by a top rope move. He pins Cena for a near fall as Ambrose holds his head. 

"Cena tried to make a comeback but Seth takes control once again," Cole said as Reigns talked trash to Cena. 

Seth tries to attack him in the corner but Cena moves out of the way and strikes him with a neckbreaker. Cena pins him for a near fall as the crowd gets hyped. 

"And he stayed in it! Cena thought it was three!" Cole shouted as Cena held up three fingers to the ref.

The Shield were relieved while Morgan held her chest in shock and looked at the ref. 

"That was two! Two!" She declared and put up two fingers with Dean and Roman. "That was two, John."

Cena gets on the top rope but Rollins hits the ropes, making him fall on the back of his leg. He pins Cena after he gives him the Skywalker but only for another near fall. 

"Ugh!" Morgan exclaimed and held her head. "Are you kidding me!?"

Dean holds his stomach and bangs on the apron. 

"The Shield thought he had him," Cole said. 

Cena nails Rollins with a powerbomb and pins him for a near fall as the crowd 'Ohs'. The Shield look relieved again while Mark and Big E were looking in shock. The crowd motivates both superstars to get up and Cena puts Seth in the AA position but Seth grabs onto the ropes. Once he releases him, he throws Seth up but he lands on his feet and hits him with an enzuigiri. 

"What a move by Rollins!" Cole exclaimed. "He's just an incredible athlete."

Rollins pins Cena for another near fall as Dean puts his hands to his mouth. 

"Come on man. Come on, John." Mark supported. 

Seth gets on the top rope and goes for the diving knee. He pins him for another near fall as Dean looks on in dismay. Cena catches Seth in the STF as The Shield start to panic and the crowd gets hyped. Seth quickly gets to the ropes as Roman pulls him out. Dean gets in the ring while the ref is distracted but gets clotheslined by Big E. 

He rolls out the ring while Morgan keeps her distance from the drama. She wished that she could do something but her ribs were still bothering her. 

Big E punches Dean over the announce table and turns around only to be hit by a Superman punch from Roman. Mark Henry comes to Langston's aid and throws Reigns over Dean near the announce table. Meanwhile, Cena catches Rollins for the AA in the ring and pins him for the win.

"Here is your winner! John Cena!" Lilian announced as his theme came on and he celebrated with his team.

Seth gets out the ring and holds his stomach while he sits and leans on the barricade. 

"You did awesome out there. Win or lose, you did good." Morgan said, helping him as he nodded and held his head.

"An incredible way to close the year. Happy New Year everybody! We'll see you in 2014 on Smackdown." Cole closed the show.

Chapter Summary: Morgan faces CM Punk in a one on one match. Morgan gets confused with Roman becoming distant.

Words: 5,000+

------ 'WWE Main Event'

Backstage, Jon was taping his hands while Melanie came up and kissed him on the cheek. 

"So, how was fanboy land?" she teased

He chuckled. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Oh come on. I saw that adorable smile." She grinned while he finished taping up his hands. "I have to admit when you smile like that, it looks adorable."

"I know, you can't resist my good looks."

"Well, it looks like I wasn't the only one fangirling on Old School Raw."

"You were fangirling hard. I thought you were about to faint."

"I didn't fangirl a lot."

He gave her a look. "Really? Popping grapes like crazy, squealing and giggling at Piper?"

"Okay, okay, but you were smiling when you got the snake on you, so, haha."

"At least I wasn't squealing and blushing, Oh my gosh, Piper! I love you!" he said in a high voice.

"H-hey!" Melanie exclaimed as he laughed. "He is my idol. He inspired me to be the Outspoken Diva I am today. His promos are awesome. And who cares if I was blushing? I can make you blush."

"Nah, you can't. I bet I can make you blush more than Piper did to you."

"Really? I like bets, what's your challenge."

"Let's see how long we can resist each other. Let's bet that whoever can seduce the other wins. No sex, just trying to seduce the other."

"Sounds like fun."

"I'll win this bet with flying colors."

"And why are you so confident?"

Jon smirked. "Because you'll break within a week."

"Ha, we'll see about that. I accept your challenge." She shook his hand. "And whoever loses has to give the person a lap dance."

"Good. When I win, I want you in a schoolgirl outfit."

"In your dreams."

"I'm also giving you a spanking for being a bad girl."

"Ha! Keep dreaming. That fantasy of yours isn't going to become a reality." She pulled him in, about to kiss him but stopped and stepped back.

"You're such a tease."

"I know. Get used to it, Moxley."

"I'll show you, Moxley, real soon."

"Ooh, I'm so scared." 

'WWE Exclusive Video'

Morgan stretched her legs and Roman walked up to her as she caught him looking at her legs.

"Can I help you?" she playfully glared and retorted at him. 

Roman quickly removed his eyes from her legs and cleared his throat as she stopped stretching. He gave her her black gloves and she put them on.

"You forgot these," he said.

"Thanks. You know, you've been acting pretty weird lately. You okay? You look like you really wanna say something."

Roman started to look a little frustrated but calmed down. "...There is something that I need to get off my chest. But I'll tell you when I'm ready."

"You sure? You don't have to tell me if it really isn't any of my business."

"I know, but you should know."

"Okay." she smiled. "Whenever you're ready, you can talk to me. Anytime, I'm here for you, just like you're here for me."

"Thanks,"

'Another WWE Exclusive Video'

"I can't believe you're facing CM Punk tonight. I'll be rooting for you." Kaitlyn said as they walked backstage.

"Thanks. I'm really nervous. No more games, it's real and I need to put my words into action." Morgan said. "Ready to take down AJ?"

"Yeah, can't wait. Whoa." Kaitlyn stopped walking.

"Are you okay?" Morgan asked as she stopped walking too. 

She saw Kaitlyn pointing straight ahead and they saw Rosa talking to Roman.

"That's weird." Kaitlyn looked confused. "Looks like she wrecked her brain when she dyed her hair blond. Why the heck is she talking to your teammate?"

"I have no idea..." the Outspoken Diva narrowed her eyes at Rosa.

"I would keep an eye out for Rosa."

"Yeah, I need to. I don't want Roman to get distracted. He's already on a roll and now she's getting involved. That's not cool. I'll have to talk to him about it."

"Please do. If you don't, I will. I don't like what Rosa is doing. She may be plotting something."

"I just don't want him to be caught in her evil ways. I don't want his heart broken either. He doesn't deserve that."

"You care a lot about your teammate. Growing a soft spot?" Kaitlyn nudged her.

"I care about him a lot. I just think that he's hiding something from me. We always vent to each other but now, he hasn't vented to me lately. It's like he really wants to tell me something but keeps holding it in. I could see the frustration on his face when he talked to me earlier today. I hope he's okay and nothing is wrong."

"Do you think they're dating?"

"I hope not..."

'The Shield's Hideout'

Morgan was wearing her Shield attire with a cut up shirt and black pants. She had her hair in a purple hair tie. 

"Ready to serve some justice?" Seth asked and pounded his fist with hers.

"A little bit. Just nervous." She replied.

"You are going to do just fine. Trust me." Dean said. "CM Punk fails to realize that he is in for a treat. You are going to beat him and you are going to inflict a lot of punishment on him."

"He's going to regret every single smart remark he's said about you. You are going to own him tonight." Roman added.

"Thanks, guys." she smiled. "Let's do this." She put her fist out and so do they. "Believe in Morgan and Believe in The Shield." She announced as the camera zoomed in on their fists.

"Morgan is in action next! And she's going up against CM Punk!" Miz said on commentary as they go to a commercial.

'To The Gorilla'

Melanie was listening to music, trying to calm her nerves and saw Phil walking over to her. She took off her headphones and grinned at him. "Hey."

"Hey, Mel. Ready for our match?"

"A little nervous."

"You're going to do fine. I'll prepare myself for your kicks." He said and laughed with her. 

"Thanks."

"No problem," he replied and they heard his theme song come on. "See you out there grapes." 

She could hear the Philly fans chant 'CM Punk' loudly after he got in the ring.

Melanie exhaled. This was real. She was finally going to be in a one on one match against CM Punk. A WWE Superstar. She had a lot to prove and wanted 2014 to be the year when she faced WWE Superstars. She was glad she was able to have the privilege to do so. She wanted to bring some of the Attitude Era back and bring enjoyment to watching the women.

While she heard The Shield's theme come on, she noticed that they were going to stand at ringside to cheer her on. Moments later, The New Age Outlaws arrived at the gorilla and greeted her. 

"How's the mini Chyna doin'?" Monty (Billy Gunn) grinned.

"Nervous."

"You're going to do great out there. Just like your cousin. I know she's watching and can't wait to see you shine out there." B.G James (Road Dogg) said.

"Thank you so much." she beamed.

'Oh, you didn't know? You better call somebody!'

The New Age Outlaws waved goodbye and walked out to the stage. They were going to back up Punk just in case The Shield tried anything sneaky. They did their trademark promo while Melanie got into character and started to warm up by doing some push ups. 

She stood up and put on her Shield hoodie and put the hood over her head. Once her theme came on, the crowd began cheering loudly as she walked out onto the stage with a grin.

---------

"And introducing his opponent, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! She is one fourth of The Shield, Morgan Lopez!" Justin announced.

"Morgan and CM Punk. This is going to be one interesting match." Josh said on commentary.

"You bet. Punk seriously has a big disadvantage with this crowd backing up Morgan. This ain't Chicago, this is Philly. You are in Morgan's town now." Miz said as she spun around and tagged some hands.

After sliding into the ring, she got on the ropes.

"Let's go!" She yelled as she took off her hoodie and did her taunt. 

She pointed to her family and Leah who were cheering her on and jumped off. She smirked at Punk once her theme faded out. The crowd chanted 'Let's Go Morgan' while Punk looked at the crowd in amazement. 

"Yeah! You're in her town now! This ain't Chicago! This ain't Chicago!" Seth taunted. 

'Ding Ding Ding'

"And here we go!" Miz exclaimed.

"Let's go Punk, you got this." Road Dogg cheered on. 

Morgan and Punk circle around each other and she puts her hand out to Punk and he immediately shakes it.

"Looks like someone is showing respect," Josh said.

"No matter how many times Morgan has mouthed off to Punk, this is an experience she will never forget. She's honored to be in the ring with a WWE Superstar like CM Punk." Miz replied. 

Punk and Morgan lock up but he pushes her down. She looks at him while he motions her to come at him. She narrows her eyes and stands up. They lock up again and this time, she trips him down as the crowd cheers. She smirks and motions him to come at her just like he did earlier.

"Little bit of mind games." Josh looked on.

"Oh~ you better believe that," Seth smirked.

"She ain't the one to be messed with, Punk," Roman stated.

"You're going down, Punk!" Dean taunted. 

They lock up again and he throws her to the ropes and connects with a hip toss, turning it into an arm submission.

"Fight it." Seth supported while she winced in pain. 

She manages to stand up and escape the hold. She clotheslines him 3 times and goes for a dropkick. She waits for him to get on his knees so she can give him a shining wizard. Morgan pins him for a 2 count and begins to put him in the camel clutch.

"Squeeze him harder," Roman said.

"Squeeze the life out of him," Seth added. 

Punk manages to stand up and walk back to a turnbuckle, making her break the hold. He walks to the corner across from her and hits her with a running knee and a clothesline. He gets on the ropes and does the diving elbow on her.

"That's gotta hurt." Road Dogg said.

"This may be over." Josh looked on but Punk pinned her for a 2 count as the crowd cheered. "Punk thought he had her."

"She ain't going down that easy, Punk!" Rollins shouted. 

Morgan manages to get up but Punk attacks her with chops and a roundhouse kick as she stumbles back. He hits her with a neckbreaker and pins her for another 2 count. Morgan rolls out the ring and Punk decides to run to try to hit her with a suicide dive but she moves out of the way.

"Whoa!" Miz exclaimed as Punk fell face first, onto the floor. 

Morgan manages to take a breather as The New Age Outlaws walk over to Punk. The Shield come to her aid since they are near her and they start arguing with the New Age Outlaws.

The ref tries to calm them down as Morgan throws Punk back in the ring. She pins him for a two count. She gets on the apron and waits for him to get up so she can hit him with a diving clothesline. And when he gets up again, she runs and strikes with a swinging neckbreaker. 

"Punk needs to turn things around," Josh said.

"Drop him. Keep dropping him." Seth advised. 

Punk gets up and catches her kick. He pushes her back and kicks the right side of her stomach. Morgan returns a kick and they keep kicking each other until she starts hitting him with elbows to the head. Punk responds with elbows of his own until they are leaning on the ropes. The ref breaks it up while Morgan tries to go for another kick. Punk ducks it and puts her in a waist lock but she elbows him and hits him with a facebuster.

She gets on the top rope and goes for a crossbody but Punk catches her and picks her up for the GTS as the crowd gets hype. 

"Come on Morgan! Fight out of it!" Dean exclaimed but Punk connected with the GTS.

"It's over. Morgan put up a good fight." Josh said but Punk pinned her for a near fall as the crowd 'Ohs'

"No way." Miz looked on in awe as Punk looked at her in shock. 

The Shield was surprised but mostly relieved that she kicked out. They show Punk two fingers, saying it was a two count while the New Age Outlaws had their hands on their heads in surprise.

"No way, that was three! That had to be three." Punk exclaimed to the ref.

"It was two." The ref reiterated as the titantron showed Morgan kicking out before the three count.

"The resiliency of Morgan is really something," Miz praised. 

Morgan was breathing heavily and holding her chin, starting to feel the effects of Punk's kicks and knees. She knew he was going to be a tough opponent.

Punk picks her up and throws her back to the turnbuckle and hits her with a running knee. He follows up with an elbow and pins her for a 2 count. The crowd gets hyped once Punk puts her in the Anaconda Vice. 

"Uh oh! This may be over now!" Josh exclaimed.

"Morgan! Morgan! Do not tap out! Do not tap out!" Seth banged on the mat.

"Damn it Punk!" Dean yelled. "You're not going to win! You are not going to win!" He got on the apron but Roman brought him down.

"Calm down, she got this!" Roman exclaimed as Dean started pacing around, being the hothead that he was. 

Seth tries to calm him down while Roman starts to look annoyed. He was not going to let Dean ruin this match for her. He needed to calm down and not get so worked up every single minute.

"Do you submit!?" The ref asked. 

Morgan was desperately trying to break out of the hold. He was choking the life out of her. Luckily, she got her foot on the rope as The Shield was relieved.

Punk does the GTS taunt and waits for her to get up. Once she does, he puts her in the GTS but she counters with the Morganizer as the crowd cheers.

"Oh my gosh, she's about to beat CM Punk!" Josh shouted. 

"This is over! She got it!" Miz exclaimed. 

She rolls him over and pins him.

"1!"

"2!"

"No!" Morgan shouted once Punk kicked out for a near fall. "No! Why!?" 

"Don't get frustrated. You got him. Stay on him." Roman supported as he watched her get upset. 

She waits for Punk to get on his knees so she can give him a running knee lift. She pins him for another two count.

"Come on...give it up Punk!" Seth exclaimed.

"Make him suffer," Dean added.

Morgan decides to put him in a single leg Boston crab to try to make him tap but he escapes the hold.

Punk manages to fight back and hits Morgan with a belly to back suplex. She rolls over to the apron and stands up on the apron, near the announce table and The Shield. He was about to run through the ropes to knock her off with a shoulder thrust but she jumps up and does a split on the apron once Punk slides out of the ring and onto The Shield.

"Oh!" Miz exclaimed.

'Thank you, father, for teaching me ballet.' The Outspoken Diva thought. 

She is about to turn her head but Punk gets up and grabs her by the hair to pull her down.

"Punk taking out all members of The Shield," Miz said as he threw Morgan back in the ring. 

But then, Dean gets up and starts yelling at Punk at ringside and it catches his attention. He walks over to the ropes and watches Dean mouth off. Punk taunts him but then Morgan walks up to him from behind. She manages to pick him up from behind to set him up for the reverse GTS as the crowd pops loudly.

"Oh my gosh, she's picking him up!" Josh exclaimed.

"The strength of Morgan! Chyna taught her well!" The Miz praised. 

Punk wasn't seriously heavy, but he wasn't that light either. She manages to do the reverse GTS on him as the crowd starts to chant 'This is Awesome.'

"That move may have taken a lot out of Morgan. I wonder if she has anything left in the tank." Miz looked on as Punk and Morgan were laid out.

The crowd starts to chant 'Let's go Morgan! CM Punk!'

The ref starts to count and Morgan manages to crawl over to Punk and pin him.

"1!"

"2!"

"Oh!" The crowd shouted once Punk kicked out. 

Morgan was shocked and snapped her head to the ref.

"That was three!" She exclaimed.

"Two." The ref stated. 

Morgan sighs loudly and rolls away from Punk to recover.

"I thought she had him there. What the heck does Morgan have to do to win?" Josh asked.

"They both are tough competitors," Miz replied. 

Morgan sits up and sighs but Punk grabs her from behind, for the Anaconda Vise as the crowd gets hyped and she screamed "Crap!"

"Looks like Punk was playing possum," Josh looked on. 

The Shield start to panic but Morgan manages to hit him in the back of the head with her knee to make him release the hold. She picks up Punk and tries to do the bulldog on him but he pushes her off and hits her with a step up enzuigiri. Morgan falls out of the ring and near The Shield. Dean quickly goes to check on her but once Punk gets out of the ring, The Shield begin to step up to him.

The crowd cheers once the New Age Outlaws come to his aid. Punk and the New Age Outlaws start arguing with The Shield and don't notice Morgan getting in the ring and onto the top rope. 

"No way!" Josh chuckled while she dove on top of everyone.

"Let's friggin' go!" She yelled, taunting the crowd as they gave her a huge pop. 

She manages to get Punk in the ring. He manages to kick her in the stomach and run to the ropes but Morgan follows him and hits him with a knee to the stomach, taking a page out of Ambrose's book. She holds her stomach and grabs him to position him for the backfire. She does a loud battle cry and hits the move. 

"Will this be it!?" Miz exclaimed.

"1!"

"2!"

"Come on!" Morgan yelled as Punk kicked out again. 

Punk manages to lean on the turnbuckle as she gives him a handspring back elbow. Punk quickly grabs her from behind and puts her in the GTS position as he walks to the middle of the ring. Morgan escapes it and hits him with a bicycle superkick as Punk slowly falls down the mat. She pins him for another near fall as she bangs on the mat in frustation.

"Don't let the anger control you," Seth warned.

She turns to The Shield and they give her words of encouragement.

As they both recover, Punk kicks her in the stomach as she bends forward. He kicks her on the shoulder as she stumbles back and gets hit with a roundhouse kick. Morgan slowly falls down the mat. Punk goes high risk again and aims for the elbow but she moves out of the way.

"Will this be a turning point in the mat?" Josh asked. She pulls Punk to the middle rope and gets on the apron. She runs and gives him a knee to the face as the crowd 'Ohs' at the impact. "Painful knee by Morgan."

She gets back in the ring and waits for Punk to get on his knees. Once he does, she tries to kick him in the face but he ducks and quickly stands up and picks her up for the GTS. She escapes it and puts him in the Morganizer position until he escapes it and puts her back in the GTS hold. She escapes it again and delivers the backfire on him as the crowd cheers.

"Yes!" Seth yelled and high fived Dean and Roman. 

She pins him but for another near fall.

"No!" Morgan screamed.

"Damn it!" Dean banged on the mat. 

The Shield was getting frustrated for her.

"Come on Punk! You can do it!" Billy cheered.

"Shut your mouth, old man!" Seth yelled.

Morgan waits for Punk to get up from behind and catches him in a sleeper hold.

"Paying tribute to Hot Rod," Miz praised. Punk breaks out of it and throws her to the ropes. She held onto the ropes while he went for a dropkick. "Looks like Morgan knows all his tricks."

She runs and gives him a hurricanrana. Then, she jumps on the ropes and gives him a crossbody. She pins him for a one count and puts him in the breakdown as the crowd cheers. She starts to lean back more as Punk yells out in pain. 

"Give up already!" Morgan yelled. 

All of a sudden, Punk escapes the hold and puts her back in the Anaconda Vice.

"Oh no! She's caught!" Miz exclaimed. 

Moments later, Morgan is about to tap but loses consciousness when Punk puts too much pressure on her head. The ref checks her and rings for the bell to be rung as the crowd cheers for Punk.

"Here is your winner! CM Punk!" Justin announced.

The Shield weren't disappointed that she lost. They were proud of her and her efforts.

Punk got his hand raised as he held his stomach, still feeling the impact of Morgan's kicks. The New Age Outlaws get in the ring to celebrate with him. Morgan manages to regain consciousness and sighs. 

She started to look upset and ran her hands through her hair while she was disappointed in herself. 

"I failed..." She looked down in disappointment.

Punk stopped celebrating and turned his attention to her while his music went off. The crowd applauded for them both, praising their match. While Morgan was looking down, she saw feet in front of her. 

"Hey." He stood before her and she slowly looked up at him. 

Punk had his hand out and she decided to grab it. He helped her up as the crowd continued to give them a loud reception. They chant 'This was Awesome'

Morgan held her stomach since she was still feeling the effects of Punk's moves. Punk whispers something in her ear for a few moments and after he is done, he steps away from her. Morgan smiles and nods to him while he smirks and gets out of the ring with the New Age Outlaws. 

The Shield gets in the ring while Morgan mouths 'Thank you' to Punk and he mouths 'You're welcome.' while her theme comes on.

"Even though Morgan lost, you got to give her credit for the performance she's done. This is a match she will never forget." Miz praised.

'WWE Exclusive Video'

"Morgan, may I have a word?" Renee walked over to her while she was chatting with Kaitlyn.

"What's up?" She grinned.

"I wanted to get your thoughts on your match against CM Punk. You came up short but you showed a lot of girl power out there. How are you feeling?"

"I feel like I won. I feel like a winner. Win or lose, CM Punk took the time to get in the ring with me and we had one hell of a match. I'm proud of it. I may not like him but I respect him and I'm grateful that he wanted to wrestle me."

"She kicked butt out there." Kaitlyn praised.

"He got me a couple of times, I mean, Punk can hurt anything. I may have kicked out of the GTS but I couldn't handle the submissions. I'm disappointed in that but I'll just have to work on that a little more." Morgan continued.

"After the match, you took his hand as he helped you up. We saw him whisper in your ear, what did he say?" Renee asked.

Morgan chuckled, "He told me...he never met a woman who wanted to stand out so much from the other WWE Divas. He told me I earned his respect and wants to wrestle me again."

"Ooh, so Punk and Morgan aren't over?"

"Nah. Not by a long shot. I want closure. I'm going to beat him one day. He got lucky and outsmarted me tonight. Next time when we get in the ring, I'm going to make sure to try harder. He's an awesome competitor."

Morgan tweets 'Thanks CMPunk for taking the time to wrestle me. Moment I'll never forget.'

Punk replies 'Wow. WWEMorgan101 is being nice to me.'

'In The Ring'

Kaitlyn was in the ring with AJ while Tamina was at ringside. AJ seems to be taking control, and Morgan walks out to support Kaitlyn as the crowd cheers. 

"Here comes Morgan, again," Miz said.

"Come on Kaitlyn!" She supported at ringside.

"I'm surprised that she's out here. She lost to CM Punk earlier." Josh looked on. 

AJ gets hit with a backbreaker by Kaitlyn as the crowd cheers. She elbows AJ down and starts to build momentum by giving her clotheslines. She pins her for a two count and throws her to the ropes. AJ kicks her on the shoulder but runs into the gut buster.

"Awesome!" Morgan cheered. Kaitlyn pins her for a two count. "So close."

Kaitlyn tries to pick her up but AJ catches her in a submission. 

"AJ has locked that submission in deep." Josh said. 

Kaitlyn manages to power out by throwing her to the turnbuckle. AJ gets on the middle rope and goes for a crossbody but Kaitlyn catches her. She tries to go for the gutbuster but AJ counters with a roll up and wins.

AJ starts skipping around Kaitlyn and she stands up. Suddenly AJ jumps and grins at her before giving her a hug as the crowd cheers. 

"What the heck?" Josh asked

"I was thinking the same thing," Miz said in confusion. AJ got off of her and fixed herself while Tamina got in the ring. Once Kaitlyn turned around, she gets kicked by Tamina as the crowd boos. "Oh!"

Morgan quickly gets in the ring but AJ and Tamina escape. 

"Really? Really Tamina?" She retorted as she helped Kaitlyn. 

AJ grins and leaves with Tamina while Kaitlyn sits up and holds her head while she helps her. 

"You okay?" Morgan asked.

"I fall for it every time..." Kaitlyn sighed. "Do me a favor. Kick Tamina's ass for me and win the divas championship for me, the next time you win it." 

After she stood up, they both embraced as the crowd cheered.

'Backstage'

Melanie and April give each other sad smiles when they see Celeste zipping up her bag. 

Celeste sighed. "Goodbyes are too hard..."

"Yeah, they really are," Melanie replied.

"You two better stay and kick some serious butt. And Melanie, I hope you continue proving yourself by wrestling more superstars."

"I will, hopefully."

Celeste showed a sad smile and had her arms out while Melanie quickly went to hug her and began crying. "Haha, don't cry Melly. We'll see each other soon."

"I'm such a baby. I'm sorry. I'm just going to miss you and you attacking me with pillows all the time." 

Celeste started to have tears in her eyes and released her. "You're gonna ruin my makeup. Tomorrow is going to be the first day of my new life. There's so much to look forward to."

Melanie nodded and wiped the tears from her eyes. "I can't wait for Celestial Bodiez to debut. I'll be checking that out."

"You better." Celeste playfully glared at her.

"She's leaving!" Ettore (Big E) playfully sobbed and showed a sad face before hugging her. 

"Group hug!" April joined in and so did Melanie. "We love you, Celeste!"

'Next Day, in Philly At The Fearless Athletics Cross Fit South Philadelphia Gym'

"Hey! There you are! What took you so long, weenie?" Leah dragged Melanie into the gym.

"I was hanging with my family." Melanie chuckled. "And I am not a weenie, you're the meanie."

"Beanie."

"Tortellini."

"Darn you. Ready for the Smackdown taping?"

"Yep, I can't wait to perform in front of my hometown again."

"I heard about Celeste, you okay?"

"I'm happy for her. I just miss her."

"Aye, you still got me, and the other divas." 

"True."

"So how's the bet with Jon going? Anyone make a move yet?"

"I'm going to. I just need to find him."

"He's over there, lifting weights. It's pretty dead here, so it's not hard to find him. Plus, his crazy, curly hair is easy to spot these days."

Melanie giggled and took off her sweat jacket, leaving her in gray sweatpants and a black sports bra. "I will be right back."

Leah chuckled while The Philly Diva started walking over to Jon. He was lying down, lifting weights, while he was shirtless and wearing shorts. 

She decided to straddle him, which quickly distracted him and made him groan. 

"Hey. You don't mind if I sit here, do you?" she greeted

"Not at all." he managed to say.

"Great, you're comfortable. You look really tense. I could change that if you just give in." She smirked and put her hands on his chest. She heard him grunt when she moved forward a bit. "So? Are you going to give in?"

Amused, he smirked. "You're not going to win this bet this easily. You just caught me off guard a little bit."

"Suit yourself." She got off him. "I'm going to let you off easy, this time."

He stood up. "You seem really confident. That's going to come back to haunt you."

"Sure..." Melanie grinned. "That's just a preview of what I'm going to do to you."

He leaned forward to whisper in her ear, "You know Mel...I know all your weak spots. I'm going to make you so hot and bothered, you're going to beg." He moved away and slapped her ass before walking away.

"Really?" She rubbed her behind.

Leah laughed at the show. "That was good."

'Smackdown'

Morgan was stretching backstage while bending down. She saw boots in front of her and stood up, letting out an annoyed sigh.

"Hello, Morgan." Rosa grinned.

"What the hell do you want...?" She retorted.

"Oh Morgan, you're so moody." she giggled.

"What do you want, Rosa...?"

"Oh nothing, just listening to Roman vent. We've been talking lately. He said some interesting stuff about you."

"First of all, how about you mind your business and stay away from my teammate."

"I can't. He is my business. He's been venting to me."

"Why do you always lie? Why would Roman want to talk to you? Besides he always goes to me to vent."

"Not anymore chica. You lost that title. And soon, you're going to lose the title of being The Shield's Girl."

"This is getting old. I'm tired of you divas thinking you can take my spot. It's not going to happen."

"Morgan, you walk around, thinking you're top diva, well listen up because I'm about to take you down and watch you crumble and fall in despair. It's going to be very entertaining. I can't wait for the next few weeks." 

"Listen to me." She sternly said and stepped up to her. "Stay away from my teammate. I know what you're trying to do. You want to gain your spotlight so you can be a part of The Shield. That's not going to happen. Back off of Roman or there are going to be some problems."

"Have a good evening, Morgan," she smirked and strutted away.

'Later'

Morgan found Roman at The Shield's Hideout, sitting on a crate and walked up to him. 

"Hey." She smiled.

"Hey. What's up?"

"Can you be honest with me?"

"Always." Roman ran his right hand through her hair.

"Is there something going on between you and Rosa?" She asked and he removed his hand.

"Huh?" He looked confused.

"I saw you two back at Main Event. And she said that you vented to her. I'm a little confused as to why. I thought I was the one you vented to. Did I do something wrong?" She asked while he sighed. "Look, I don't care who you want to talk to but I just care about you and really don't think she's the one to talk to. She's manipulative and I don't want to see you hurt."

"I'm already hurt..."

"What did she do?"

"She didn't do anything."

"Then who did? Who hurt you?"

"...You did." He stood up.

"What? How did I hurt you?"

"Can we discuss this later?"

"No. How did I hurt you?" She repeated. 

"It's nothing."

She was about to ask him another question but stopped.

"I just­-I want you to be careful." She gave him a worried look as he started to hold her hands. "I don't want you to get distracted and be under Rosa's manipulative ways. You're on a roll. Don't crash and burn because of her. Please. As a friend, please be careful."

"Yeah. Friends..."

"And we have each other's backs. I'm going to be here for you. Please don't forget what I said about Rosa. Be careful." 

"I will,"

"Good. I'll see you," she kissed his cheek and walked away.
