Chapter Summary: The Shield face CM Punk at TLC. Ambrose continues to be on thin ice with Morgan
Words: 4,000+
-------
Roman was pounding his fist at Punk while the crowd chanted 'CM Punk'. Meanwhile, Ambrose and Punk were talking trash to each other and ended up locking up. Dean tried his best to get Punk near his team but failed.
'Smart...' Morgan thought as Punk hit Ambrose with an arm drag.
"Hey! I already beat you twice, give somebody else a shot." Punk said.
Ambrose tags in Rollins while Punk gets out of the ring and takes a breather. Seth gets out of the ring to go after him but Punk slides back into the ring.
"This is a simple game of cat and mouse." JBL looked on as Seth got annoyed.
"You think this is funny huh? You think you're real funny!" Seth angrily yelled at Punk while he grinned at him.
"What do you think is going through the mind of Morgan?" Cole asked as the camera showed Morgan's blank expression towards Punk while he wrestled Seth in the ring.
"Hard to tell but I really want to see her get in this ring already," King said.
Punk hits Seth with two neckbreakers and continues to isolate him from his teammates. But Seth manages to tag in Roman after a while.
"Uh oh. The big guys in the ring." JBL said.
Roman picks up Punk and throws him to his corner. He stomps on him as the ref starts to count. When he tries to go after Punk again, he gets kicked in the face. Punk elbows Dean and Seth off the ring while Morgan ducks his attack.
"She ducked that with ease." King complimented.
Punk turns his attention to Roman but gets dropped by him. He tags in Seth as Seth takes control of him.
The crowd started chanting 'CM Punk' again and then began to chant 'We Want Morgan'
"Uh oh. Here we go!" Cole listened to the crowd.
The Philly Diva watches as Dean gets in the ring and stomps on Punk's lower stomach.
'The ribs...' Morgan thought as she continued to observe.
Dean throws Punk to the corner and tags in Roman. He throws Punk out of the ring, near the announce table and once Punk gets up, Roman grins. He runs to spear Punk but runs into the announce team and hits his eye on JBL's chair as the crowd gets hyped.
"Roman!" She yelled.
This was not good. Seth gets off the apron to check on him while Dean has his hands on his head in shock.
"Roman Reigns sent over the announce table!" Cole exclaimed as King cheered and Punk rolled back into the ring.
The doctor goes to help Reigns and sees that his eye is cut.
"Oh no," Morgan murmured as Roman started holding his eye.
When he gets back in the ring so he won't be counted out, Punk starts to take control of his eye as Roman yells out in pain.
Morgan did not like what she saw. She was getting worried about Roman's wellbeing and it began to make her angrier and motivated her more to want to get in the ring.
After throwing Punk out of the ring, Roman holds his eye, saying "Ah Shit..." and tags in Seth.
Morgan gets off the apron to go comfort Roman with the doctor while Seth and Punk wrestle in the ring.
Dean gets off the apron as well to check on Roman. After Roman explains what happened, Morgan and Dean get back on the apron.
She was hoping that Roman would be able to continue the match. She hates to see him hurt like that.
Seth picks up Punk but he fights out and throws Seth into Dean, as he falls off the apron. When Seth turns around Punk kicks him and pins him for a 2 count.
'We Want Morgan' chants surround the arena again. After Punk recovers, he turns his attention to the Outspoken Diva as the crowd cheers. Morgan shoots Punk a blank stare before slowly smirking at him as he points at her.
"You're next."
"Okay." She replied, not bothered by his words.
Seth recovers and rolls over to his corner but sees only Morgan on the apron. Dean gets back on the apron while she has her hand out for a tag. The crowd chants 'Yes!' once Seth and Morgan make eye contact.
"Tag me in," Dean demanded with his hand out.
The crowd chants 'No' once Rollins looks in Dean's direction
"What's it gonna be? Is Rollins gonna tag in Morgan?" Cole looked on.
"Do it, Seth! Tag her in! Don't tag in Ambrose!" King cheered on.
Making his decision, Rollins decides to tag in Morgan as the crowd erupts into loud cheers.
"What the hell, Seth?" Dean angrily asked
"Morgan's tagged in!" King exclaimed.
"Ambrose doesn't look too happy!" Cole yelled.
"The Outspoken Diva has been chosen! It's time!" JBL shouted
"Chill out. Let her have her time to shine." Seth retorted to Dean as Morgan slowly got in the ring.
When Punk was about to run after her, Seth quickly picked her up and spun her around as she hit Punk with a kick in the face.
He stumbles back as he goes to the corner across from The Shield's corner. Seth gets on the apron as Morgan looks at Punk. Punk holds his mouth and looks at the crowd.
"I got my wish." He said as the crowd cheered when they circled around each other. "Let's see what you got,"
They lock up and Punk throws her to the ropes but misses his trademark kick as she holds on to the ropes.
"Smart girl. Impress me more." He said as she released the ropes.
"Looks like Morgan has been watching Punk's moves. She knew what was coming," JBL said.
Punk steps up to her but she manages to kick him in the gut as he winces and holds his stomach.
"She's targeting the ribs. That's a good advantage." Cole looked on
"Listen to me. Do not ever wrestle me gently because I'm a woman. Wrestle me like you would do with a WWE Superstar. Don't hold back against me." She said before kicking him in the stomach again and grabbing him for a butterfly DDT.
"Stay on him. You're doing great!" Seth cheered on.
She tries to hit Punk with a bulldog but he pushes her away. When she turns around, they both kick each other as their legs cross but she stumbles back since Punk's kick had more of an impact. He throws her to the turnbuckle and gives her a chop to the chest as the crowd 'Woos' and he does it three more times until she reverses it.
"Look at this!" King exclaimed as she hit him with a few chops and then hit him with a neck choke with her foot while the ref counted.
Punk manages to grab her leg by the ankle and walk away from the turnbuckle as Morgan hops back.
"Uh oh." King looked on
He trips her down and she falls on her back. Punk was about to strike with an elbow but she moved out of the way.
They look at each other and Punk nods.
"Interesting..." he said.
Morgan runs to Punk but he strikes her with a hip toss and puts her in a headlock on the mat as she tries to fight out of it.
"Come on Morgan. I know you can do better than this." He provoked her as she managed to stand up.
She knees him in the stomach as he falls and holds his ribs. She drags him to the middle rope and gets on the apron to give him a running knee to the face.
"Yikes! That may have hurt Morgan a bit." Cole said as she held her knee from the impact.
"You're hardheaded." She complained before getting back in the ring.
She waits for him to get on his knees and she runs to the ropes to hit him with a shining wizard, pinning him for a 2 count.
"Atta girl." Seth cheered on while Ambrose watched, still upset she was in the match.
Morgan decides to go onto the ropes and goes for a moonsault but Punk moves out of the way as the crowd 'Ohs'
"And nobody home. Could this be it?" Cole asked as Morgan held her stomach.
She holds on to the ropes, near her team's corner and sees Dean.
"Tag me in," Dean demanded as he had his hand out.
She shook her head as the crowd continued to support her. "I got a lot to prove."
When she stands up, Punk puts her in a waist lock from behind and lifts her up and she counters with a falling facebuster.
"What a counter!" Cole exclaimed as she quickly pinned Punk for a near fall.
Punk rolls away from her and holds his mouth.
"Clever girl." he complimented as she smirked.
"Save it. Get up and wrestle," She said as he got up.
They run to each other to give each other a clothesline but Punk brings
her down since he is stronger. He pins her for a two count. Then he grabs her up and throws her to the corner and strikes her with a step up high knee. He follows the move with a clothesline as she holds her mouth and gets pinned for a 2 count.
"She's still kicking out. Maybe Punk underestimated her." JBL said.
Punk grabs her but she fights back and manages to hit him with the backfire as the crowd cheers. She decides to get back on the top rope and hit him with a crossbody and pins him for a 1 count.
"She's flying all over the place," King said as Morgan got back on the top rope and hit Punk with a dropkick.
She waits for Punk to get up from behind and puts him in a crossed arm choke like a straightjacket and brings him down as his back hits her knees.
"She's got that locked in. What is this move? A new breakdown?" King looked on
She releases the hold and positions him for the breakdown as she leans back to put pressure.
"This would be an upset if Punk taps out," Cole said. Punk escapes it and grabs her for the Anaconda vice as Morgan tries to go to the ropes and the crowd gets hyped. "Anaconda vice!"
Dean tries to distract the ref as Punk releases the hold. He turns his attention to Ambrose who yells at him.
Morgan holds her head and looks at Dean.
"I am so not surprised..." She retorted as she recovered.
Not cool. She didn't want anybody to distract her opponent. She wanted to do this fairly.
Punk turns his attention back to her and throws her back to the turnbuckle. He runs to her but she uses her legs to stop him and trap his neck in between her legs. She hits his head on the back of her right leg making him stumble back.
She throws him to the turnbuckle across and hits him with a handspring back elbow as the crowd cheers.
"Shades of Chyna are showing in Morgan's moveset," Cole said as she threw him away from the turnbuckle. "Going high risk again,"
She goes for another cross body but Punk catches her and puts her into the GTS position. The crowd gets excited but Morgan fights out of it. She leans on the ropes near her teammates
"So close. I underestimated you. Show me more." Punk said as he motioned her to come at him.
She was about to go after him again but Dean tags himself in by tapping her arm and the crowd boos, clearly displeased that she wasn't wrestling Punk anymore.
"What? I wanted to see more of Morgan." King exclaimed as Morgan turned to Ambrose, irritated.
"Really?" she exclaimed as she had no choice but to get on the apron. asks and gets on the apron as the crowd chants 'We Want Morgan' again.
"You've done enough. Just rest up." he responded over the loud 'We Want Morgan' chants.
"I wasn't done with her." Punk pointed to her while she had just rolled her eyes at Ambrose.
"I don't care. You're going up against me now." Dean retorted.
Morgan felt her adrenaline running. She just wrestled the Best in The World and loved every second of it.
It was an honor.
Later in the match, Punk puts Dean in the GTS position but Seth runs in the ring and gets hit with the GTS instead. Punk turns his attention back to Dean and puts him in the GTS position again but Dean escapes as Roman gets in the ring. He runs towards Punk about to spear him but Punk moves out of the way as Ambrose gets speared. The crowd goes wild as Morgan's eyes widen and puts her hands on her mouth.
"Dean!" Morgan exclaimed after removing her hands.
"Oh my God! Oh my God!" King shouted.
"Punk sidestepped him!" Cole exclaimed as Morgan got in the ring and grabbed Punk from behind. "What is she doing?"
"Roman!" she called out as he held his eye and looked in her direction to see her holding Punk.
He runs, attempting to spear him but Punk escapes the hold as Morgan gets speared instead. The crowd went wild as she sold the spear well and made it look even more devastating
"No!" King shouted
"Oh my gosh!" JBL exclaimed.
"Two in a row!" Cole yelled as Roman was hovering over Morgan.
"Morgan!" Roman shouted as realization hit him.
"Oh my God! What have we just witnessed? He just speared Morgan! She's probably broken in half." Cole looked on.
Reigns looks at what he did in disbelief. He just speared Morgan. One of the people most important to him. He couldn't forgive himself for this.
"Morgan, are you all right? I'm sorry!" He exclaimed and held her head but then got thrown out of the ring by Punk.
Punk pins Ambrose to win the match and runs out of the ring while the crowd goes wild that he has managed to win.
"Here is your winner! CM Punk!" Lilian announced.
"That was a miracle," JBL said as Roman looked at the damage he had done, feeling disappointed once he got back in the ring.
"Morgan is really hurt," Cole said as she held her stomach in pain.
"Morgan. Morg are you okay?" Seth asked as he went to comfort her with Roman.
"Roman, it's not your fault," Rollins reassured and put his hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry..." Roman said to her.
She looked at him and shook her head. "It's fine." She managed to say. "It wasn't your fault."
Once Ambrose got back up and saw her down, he kneeled before her, yelling, "What the hell happened!?"
"He accidentally speared her," Seth explained as Dean started to look upset.
"Punk moved out the way," Roman said as Ambrose held his stomach, still recovering from his spear.
"Could have been worse." She said as a doctor came into the ring.
"Is she going to be all right?" Seth asked as the doctor checked her stomach.
"It's definitely her ribs." The doctor explained while Roman's face began to show even more guilt.
Seth sighed out of disappointment.
Dean was seeing red and growled, "Damn it! I'm going to kill Punk for this."
"Let's focus on Morgan for now," Seth replied. "Calm down."
"This is my fault..." Roman grumbled.
"Roman, it's okay. It's not your fault." Morgan spoke as she winced in pain.
"We need to get her backstage and into the trainer's room." The doctor said as he was about to help her up
"Don't...I can walk..." She managed to help herself up with the ropes and held her stomach. "I can walk."
The crowd cheered to support her. But when she tried to take a step, she stumbled and fell into the arms of Rollins.
"I'll help her," Seth said as he gently held her while Dean was still hurt from Roman's spear and Roman's eye was still messed up.
"I feel weak now..." She said, disappointed that she had to be carried out the ring.
"Morgan, you showed guts out there. You're not weak." Seth reassured as they went backstage.
"I hope Morgan is okay," King said.
"I hope so too but don't be surprised if she has her stomach taped up," JBL added.
Morgan tweets 'No pain no gain right? #TLC'
Punk tweets 'WWEMorgan101 you've impressed me at TLC. You put your words into action. But, don't think this is over between us. I still want a match once you're cleared.'
Morgan replies 'I'm Honored. CMPunk'
'So, is that a yes?' Punk tweets.
'Maybe...' Morgan replies back.
------
'At The Shield's Hideout'
The Shield were recovering after their match with CM Punk during TLC. Roman was sitting on a crate, trying to fix his eye, Dean was holding his side and Morgan was standing next to Seth.
"It happens every once in a while, okay? It's not a big deal." Seth said.
"I agree," Morgan spoke. "You don't have to be upset about it, it's just-"
"Oh yeah." Dean interrupted. "Ah. Yeah, my best friend spears me and I get a broken rib..."
"You act like I did it on purpose. You know I pull the trigger. If I see a spot, I take it." Roman replied.
"Ah~" Dean held his ribs.
"I didn't mean to. I can't see anything right now..."
"Hey! Look! Come on. CM Punk didn't beat The Shield." Seth said.
"What do I look like? Do I look like a target?" Ambrose asked Roman, still bothered as Seth and Morgan glanced at each other.
"Chill out!" Seth exclaimed. "Sit down and calm down. The Shield beat The Shield, but guess what? People win the lottery every single week. You know what? Even the Cubs win the World Series once a century."
Dean groaned and held his stomach again as Morgan was amused at his actions. He was being too dramatic.
"CM Punk is the luckiest man alive. Look, this thing is gonna heal." Seth pointed to Roman's eye and then Dean's ribs. "These are gonna be all right."
"I'm pretty lucky, you speared the crap out of me," Dean grumbled. "Ow..."
"We are still the most dominant force in this industry," Seth went on.
"Does it look bad?" Dean lifted up his shirt.
"Dean, you're fine," Morgan replied with a hint of irritation in her voice because of his constant complaining.
"Yeah, you'll be fine, man. Take it easy. Nothing's gonna stop us. Not tonight, not ever all right?" Seth added.
"Just watch where you're going next time, huh?" Dean said to Roman.
Morgan rolled her eyes. "Oh my gosh..."
"I can't see anything. I got all kinds of fluids floating out of my eye." Roman explained.
"It looks horrible." Dean went on.
"Hey! Focus!" Seth patted Dean's chest.
"Don't touch me like that right now," Dean replied
"Believe in The Shield, guys. Come on," Seth put his fist out and his three teammates bumped fists with him. "We run this joint. We-we fine, chill out, jeesh man. Morgan got speared too and she's quiet as ever. And look at my eye for crying out loud. Common, I got busted in the face. Look at this. Pff," he pointed to his eye
"Pff, yeah, you did." Roman chuckled at him after taking a look at his bruise.
"You should spear him next time, see how he likes it." Dean pointed to Seth who was walking away.
'WWE Exclusive Video'
Morgan was in the trainer's room while the doctor was taping her stomach. She saw Seth walking into the room and smiled. "Hey."
"Hey. How are you holding up?" he asked.
"I'm doing okay. It could have been worse. Thanks for supporting me out there."
"No problem. It was your time to shine. Dean needs to stop being so protective and let you do you. You have what it takes to take on WWE Superstars. Just keep doing what you're doing. I'll support you no matter what. I'll always have your back."
She chuckled as the doctor finished taping her stomach. "Thanks. I really appreciate it."
Seth kissed her forehead. "Feel better all right? You were a tough chick out there. Keep shining. I'll see you on Raw," he gave her a wink and left the room.
Morgan touched the tape on her stomach and sighed, turning to the doctor. "How long?"
"You should be cleared before Tribute to the troops." The doctor replied as she nodded.
"Guess I'm going to be out of the ring for a while."
Moments later, Roman walked into the room as the doctor walked away. "Hey, Morgan,"
"Hey. How's your eye?" She asked as she placed a hand on his cheek to get a good look at his face.
He smiled and placed his hand over hers before gently removing it from his face. He ended up holding her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.
"It's doing okay but more importantly, how are you doing?"
"I'm out of the ring until Tribute to the Troops..." She sighed.
"I'm sorry..." He looked down.
She gave his hand a gentle squeeze in return as he looked back up at her. "Hey. Don't apologize. I'll be okay."
"I'll get him on Raw for you. Punk needs to pay for this."
"You don't have to do that."
"I have to do that. He can't get away with that, Morgan. I'm going to spear him in half and make sure he feels what you felt. That spear was not meant for you. It was meant for him and he got lucky. On Raw, he won't get lucky."
"I know. I forgive you. It's not your fault."
"I promise I'm going to give Punk a spear for you and make sure it hurts. Badly."
"That sounds great-"
"Morgan." Dean's voice interrupted the two as they quickly removed their hands.
"I'll talk to you later. Feel better." Roman said and left once Dean approached them
"How long are you out?" Dean asked.
"Mostly likely until Tribute to the troops." She replied.
Dean sighed.
Morgan knew that sigh.
'Here we go...another lecture...' She thought.
"You see the stuff you get yourself into? You always keep having targets on your backs and now look where it got you."
"Okay, let's back up a second. I knew the risk and I'm not surprised I got hurt. Jeesh Dean, I wish you would at least support me just a little bit more, instead of being so protective. I can handle myself."
"Really? Well, what I saw out there thought otherwise. You shouldn't have gotten yourself involved."
"First of all, what Roman did was an accident, and second of all, I'm not going to just sit back and watch the men of The Shield do everything. I'm The Shield's girl for a reason and I'm not going to sit there and be weak or be eye candy. I'm not Eva Marie. Seth and Roman agree with me on that. So if you think I'm going to be somebody's bitch around here, that's not happening. I'm tired of you being overprotective. Let me face the challenges."
"Who said you were anyone's bitch? I treat you like a queen."
"When your anger doesn't get in the way. You're a different person when you're angry, just like right now. Fix it and check yourself before you lose me. For the past few weeks it's been about you, you, you, you and not us. We're wrestlers, Dean."
"It's about me? I don't see you doing anything around here. Since you lost the Diva's Championship, you've been just sitting and watching our matches, attracting guys like you just don't care."
"You're losing your mind, right now. Do you hear yourself? This is not you at all. You think I like having the Wyatts stalking me? You think I like having Goldust kissing me? And do you think I like having CM Punk target me? I hate it but I'm willing to grin and bear it. I'm not going to back down from anything or anybody. I'm going to face the consequences. Dean, what is triggering your anger right now? Is it because Punk is calling you the weak link? Are you still jealous of all the men after me? Dean, I'm not going anywhere. No one is going to take you away from me. I don't love anyone else but you."
"I'm not the weak link. You just keep bringing yourself into problems that The Shield can handle on their own."
"I cannot believe what I'm hearing from you, right now. So, are you saying that just because I'm a woman, I can't go and wrestle guys and can't deal with targets on my back? So, I guess you are also blaming me for The Shield losing the match, huh?"
Ambrose tried to calm himself down as he let out a sigh. "No...look, I'm sorry."
He placed a hand on her cheek but she removed it from her face.
"No. You've said enough. Now I want you to listen to me and listen to me good." She got off the seat and looked up at him. "Get your act together before you make an enemy out of me."
Once she walked past him to leave the room, Ambrose sighed out of annoyance and glared at the floor.

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 47- Two Different Pages

Chapter Summary: Jen reveals she accidentally caught Rap Monster watching naughty videos in the studio and reveals another bombshell that shakes ARMY on Tumblr. Jen makes it known that it isn't wise to disrespect her.
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.
Words: 3,000+
-----
'In The Ring'
'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."

"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 48- Don't Steal The Beef!

Chapter Summary: For episodes 7 and 8 of King of Masked Singer, Jen goes on the show as a guest judge, shocked to see Taeil revealed and fangirls over Ailee. BTS are back on Weekly Idol. Jennie watches a video message that an idol made on the show as she looks forward to making another friend.
Words: 5,000+
------ At the Ilsan MBC Dream Center, Jennie sat with the other guests, wearing white high waisted jeans, a white top, a black beanie with her curly hair down and one of many favorite pairs of Nike sneakers. She was elated that she was asked to join these two episodes of King of Masked Singer.
The announcer opened up the show, recapping what happened in the previous episode.
“Let’s enter the first gate to see who’s the 4th generation of the Mask King. We’ll begin the duet singing!”
Before the show, Jennie had talked with the other judges, and they were pleasantly surprised that she wasn’t singing on the show and decided to be a judge instead. She had told them that she would love to sing on the show once she improves her vocal skills and to keep their ears open because she could be on the show at any time.
She was looking forward to blowing viewers away once her vocal skills improved. She enjoyed shows like this, where all that people would focus on is the vocals, not the looks.
She and the rest of the judges watched the first competition, which was between high frequency pair antennas and daddy cheer up.
Jennie, being a harmony expert when it came to her vocals, paid close attention to the two competitors as they sang The Blue in You. She had no idea who was who and couldn’t give any guesses to the judges as they assumed the man was tall and might be PSY under the mask.
As soon as she heard the woman sing, under her pink mask, Jennie felt her stomach drop.
That voice soundly painfully familiar.
Someone that she’s frequently listened to over the years. But she might be wrong and didn’t want to assume right away. But something in her body was telling her that the person that she was thinking of was the person under that mask. And if this is the person that she’s thinking of, then she has no idea how she will react when she might be able to see her face.
“Jennie, have any idea who any of them are?” Bong Sun asked.
“Something in me is telling me that I’ve heard the woman's voice before. But I dunno if I want to make a guess, yet.” She answered as she continued to listen to the vocals.
‘I think I know who that is...and if this is her, I think I’m going to pass out.’ Jennie thought as her butterflies got even worse.
She was not ready to be in the presence of this woman if this was who she thought she was.
This could be the woman she’s thinking about because Jennie has watched a lot of music shows this woman has been on and knows how she handles her microphone and how she sounds. As she continued to listen to her powerful but controlling pitches when she sang, Jennie decided to go with her gut.
‘This has to be Ailee.’ She thought to herself as she exhaled and tried to calm herself down.
After their performance, and sharing a few laughs when the man playfully pushed the pink antenna woman, the judges talk about how good their voices are together.
“The harmony was A-1! Loved it, it’s so nice.” Jennie added.
“One of the great duet songs in Korea. Kim Hyun Cheol and Lee So Ra’s. Both of them sang in a different way, showing different feelings. Now, this is the time for the judges to do the voting. Number one is High Frequency Pair Antennas. Number two is Daddy, cheer up! Please vote for the voice that you’d like to listen to again in the next round!” The announcer said.
Jennie automatically pressed number one to vote for High Frequency Pair antennas. She was eager to listen to more.
Once it was revealed that high frequency pair antennas was the winner with the result of 54 vs 45 votes, Jennie was thrilled that she was still in the competition.
“I’m so happy. I will show you a better stage at the next round.” High frequency pair antennas said.
Her voice was on a high pitch to avoid revealing her real voice.
For the next round, Jennie eagerly watched as Hardware store boss Kim walked onto the stage.
“I like that mask.” She commented.
“I agree, he’s cool.” One of the judges remarked.
The next contestant was named SangAmDong whistle. The judges point out that the first guy has long hair. Jennie noticed how shorter SangAmDong whistle was and liked his outfit choice because it reminded her of the movie Kill Bill.
The one behind the mask was none other than Taeil, who had a hidden smile on his face, thanks to his mask as he saw his friend being a judge for the show. He was happy to see Jennie and wondered if she’d be able to recognize him.
They sang together back at the MAMA Awards, last year.
Will she remember how he sounds?
The judges eagerly listened to the two contestants sing Only Feeling you, as Jennie swayed side to side in her seat to the beat while watching the contestants dance.
“The one in yellow looks so cute.” She murmured.
As she listened, she placed her hand over her heart when she heard Whistle’s voice and strong vocals. Their voices blended so well together. This would be a tough choice to vote for.
“That harmony! My ears are in love!” She said as she continued to watch them perform.
After they were finished, the judges discussed how confused they were about who they thought was who. When the voting started, Jennie decided to vote for number 2, which was the whistle.
“Why did I think of Kill Bill?” She asked herself as SangAmDong Whistle introduced himself and talked about his love for Bruce Lee.
So, that’s why he wore his outfit.
“Why do I keep on thinking that you are Nam Chang hee?” One of the judges asked as some of the other judges agreed. “You are a gagman, right?”
A brief pause before Whistle asked in confusion, “What?” as everyone laughed.
The judges assumed that the one in the yellow was used to performing and had a nice voice, and requested him to play with his nunchucks. Everyone laughed at his efforts.
The two contestants were requested to sing briefly to a song for a short duration of their real voices. They heard the first contestant but when it came to SangAmDong Whistle, it sounded like he faked a voice to keep his identity withheld, causing everyone to laugh.
“What!?” Jennie laughed.
“What was that? Was that your real voice? Whistle!” One of the judges called him out, causing everyone to bust out in laughter again.
After the banter, they reveal the results. They said that the celeb judges were all the same and it looked like the votes were in favor of Whistle. 34 votes to 65.
Jennie laughed out loud as his celebratory dance. “He’s so adorable!”
For the next set of filming, for the first stage of the second round, High frequency pair antennas came on stage. The judges start discussing how high her heels are and that she takes good care of her body. She chose to sing for her solo stage, for you, as Jennie and the rest of the judges watched closely.
There was something about her voice that made Jennie start to tear up.
There was no mistake about it.
This woman was her favorite singer.
It had to be Ailee.
She studied so much about Ailee, that she had a strong feeling it was her, from her hand motions and the tone of her voice. Jen had a bright smile on her face, as judges started to notice that she may know who it was. She tried her best not to freak out, but she ended up doing so, silently.
With her eyes closed, Jennie focused on the voice, and once she sang that high note, it was no mistake that this was Ailee.
Sang Am Dong whistle was next for his solo stage, as Jennie couldn’t help but focus on his walk.
“I’ve seen someone walk like this before, but I just can’t remember...” She murmured.
Sang Am Dong had decided to sing Doll.
Once the voting began, Jennie had decided to vote for high frequency pair antennas despite loving both of them. She wanted to say that it was Ailee but decided to stay silent because she was so tongue-tied and nervous. But a judge did reveal that she couldn’t hide her originality and that it was Ailee.
When asked about Sang Am Dong, Jennie voiced her opinion, “You sound experienced, I have no idea who you are. You’re definitely an idol.”
“You know me.” Sang Am Dong replied.
“I do?!” She asked in surprise, causing the judges to wonder. “I only know a select few idols so far. Can you give me a hint?” She requested but he playfully refused her offer.
Once they announced the winner of the third round, which was paired antennas, Sang Am Dong took off his mask. After he put on his glasses, he turned around to reveal his face to the audience.
It was Taeil from Block B.
Jennie dropped her jaw and stood up, while the audience, especially the women cheered. “No-way!”
Taeil smiled at her and nodded. “Way.”
“Hold up! There is no way!” She exclaimed while applauding.
How could she miss how his voice sounded if they sang together at the Mama Awards?
For the third round, Paired antennas performed again, as she sang Bruise. Jennie jammed out in her seat as she listened to Ailee sing. Her voice sounded more like Ailee, as she went all out for this performance. And Jen was loving every second of it.
“Yassss! WOO!” Jennie stood up and applauded after she ended the song with a high note.
Once CBR Cleopatra and Paired antennas were on stage together to see who would be in the final round, it was declared that Cleopatra won the most votes and became the nominee of the fourth generation of mask king. The votes were 41 to 58.
“Sadly, you are eliminated.” The host told paired antennas. “We will now reveal the identity of paired antennas who’s sadly eliminated.”
Once she took off the mask, Jennie couldn’t help but freak out a little as she saw that it was exactly Ailee in the flesh
“Korea’s best skilled singer! Ailee!”
“Thank you!” She happily laughed and bowed, fixing her hair. She was even hugged by Cleopatra.
“She received a lot of love and voting. Are you disappointed?” The host asked
“I thought that I got figured out too quickly. I have expected that Hyun Do oppa will figure me out immediately. Because we did several recordings together. I’ve tried my best to hide it but he’s like a ghost. But since I can show all the songs which I’ve prepared, I’m really thankful!” She responded with a bright smile.
‘This woman isn’t real. She is so damn precious, I swear’ Jennie freaked out in her head.
She wished that she could’ve spoken up and said something but her butterflies got to her and she was just too nervous and stunned that she was here.
After the show, Jennie managed to catch Taeil backstage, giving him a big hug. She expressed how much she missed him and how impressed she was with his singing.
“You know, you should be on the show.” He suggested.
“I want to. But I want to be on the show when my singing improves. I’ll get there. And I’d love to be able to make my parents cry when I sing. I always dreamed of that. That’s one of my goals. I dunno when I’ll accomplish it but if I could do that, I’ll feel like I can do anything. Ugh, I’m just upset I couldn’t see Ailee. But I was over there all awkward and nervous, I want to be cool and calm when I meet her.”
Taeil chuckled. “Good things happen to those who wait. Who knows, there may even be a better opportunity to meet her instead of backstage at this show. Don’t beat yourself up. You’ll meet her.”
“That makes me look forward to the future.”
Taking a selfie with him, she posts on Twitter, ‘I-MISSED-THIS-GUY! #HaveANiceDay #AllMyPartyPeopleReady!’
---------
“Weekly idol!” Doni and Coni announced
“The people who are here to visit Weekly Idol this week came here once previously,” Doni said.
“They are back here again after 1 year and two months.” Coni added. “This is late, but we didn’t know they would do so well. But now, they are doing really well. They are now our family!”
“They are suddenly our family?” Doni laughed
“They need to become our family. And looking at their choreography this time, I feel it once again that these kids are really doing well.”
BTS watched backstage as the hosts bickered back and forth.
“Weekly Idol needs BTS! Our BTS!” Doni announced as they walked out and did their greeting.
“Since you guys are doing well, why is Rap Monster wearing his home wear.” Doni pointed out to his outfit which consisted of a pink shirt and camo pants, causing the studio to laugh. “Rapmon, whose fashion is that?”
“I tried a variety.” The leader replied.
“Why did you try?”
“I got criticized a lot.”
“Your attempt...failed!” Coni blasted him. “I think your original style will be better.”
When asked about their album, Rap Monster explained it. He was teased that he had an uneasiness with his fashion and that he hid his face with his cap, causing laughter among the members.
After talking, the show proceeded with Random Dance Play, for the second time. Jimin confidently said that he wouldn’t be easy to catch if he made any mistakes because he practiced. The hosts also told them that they would buy them anything they wanted to eat, only if they succeeded on the first try.
Once the music came on to play the beginning of I Need U, the members scrambled onto the floor, for their beginning pose. The song skipped to the chorus as the members hurried to their positions. Jimin ran to the front but started to become unstable, looking back to make sure he
was making the right moves. The hosts caught him but decided to let him go this time.
The chorus of Boy In Luv came on, as Jennie began to look puzzled as to where she was supposed to be, along with some of the other members. She tried her best not to make it so obvious as she stood in the back, looking around to figure out what dance moves to do because it had been so long since they performed this song.
‘Goodbye, shaved ice.’
“Can we get like, one more try?” Jennie laughed as the members tried to protest with Coni about the number of mistakes they had made. Doni decided to let BTS have one more chance, to show good teamwork, boosting their spirits.
I Need U came back on towards the beginning as Jennie felt V’s pain with having Hobi sit on him. But once they restarted the song in the same section, V had to go back to the floor with Hobi on his back. He ended up struggling to sit up this time and Hobi fell back.
“Ahhhhhhhh!” Doni and Coni yelled.
“Why are you like this?” Rapmon asked.
Jennie laughed and grabbed V’s hand to help him up. “It’s okay, don’t worry. You did well.”
“You guys keep making mistakes during the first part. Shall we exclude the two of them?” Doni asked, gesturing to V and J-Hope.
“Ah, please!” V begged
“The two of us?” J-Hope asked.
“Shall we try with the six of you?” Doni suggested
“But I’m the choreography leader though,” J-Hope informed, which led him to have the members try the dance without him.
“To make the person who made a mistake focus, let’s go for a toy hammer as a punishment.” Doni requested.
As the members danced again with synchronized dance steps, J-Hope noticed that Jimin had made a mistake during Boy In Luv.
“Jimin, couldn’t find his spot.” J-Hope pulled him away from the others.
Coni received the toy hammer and handed it to J-Hope so he could do the honors. Jimin bent down while Hobi smacked the hammer on top of his head, causing him to let out a soft groan, rubbing it in pain. He slowly went down to the floor as the hosts tried to see if he was okay.
“Shame on you, J-Hope. Mm-mm-mm.” Jennie shook her head.
For the next segment, the members and hosts are seated for the Idol King Selection Competition. Jennie sat in between Rapmon and Jimin, for the segment. The hosts decided that they would give the group Korean beef, which boosted their mood, but they warned them that not everyone could eat, and only the person who won the game would get the beef.
“It’s never that easy, is it?” Jen sighed.
Since their official grill meat master retired, they have BTS’ manager, Sejin, to take the empty position as they watch him come out, and the members laughed and applauded.
“When do you feel the happiest being BTS’ manager?” Coni asked him
“When they cinched 1st place.” He responded, as the members happily grinned and applauded.
“Here is the first game. Unpretty Dance King!”
‘The person who is able to dance excitingly will become King or Queen.’
V was first as he stood up while Sexyback came on. The members tried not to laugh as they watched him.
“I’m weak!” Jennie covered her mouth as she watched him dance sexily by moving his hips to the beat.
The next song was for Suga and Jennie tried hard not to laugh as everyone watched him close his eyes and body roll slowly. But then he started to go down, performing the I Need U body roll, which caused Doni to hit the xylophone.
“Your expression is not good,” Doni declared. “And most importantly, you cannot recycle your own dance moves. You recycled I Need U dance moves, right?”
“That’s right,” Suga answered.
“You can’t do that. Let’s have Suga dance again. Please give us the music.”
Once the song came back on, Suga went down on the floor, to grind but was instantly stopped once again.
“Oh no!” Miss Bangtan covered her mouth.
‘Dirty dance not allowed’
“What is allowed then?” Suga exclaimed as he got back to his seat.
“No American dance!” Coni warned as he was eliminated from getting the beef.
Next was Jin, who exhaled and stood up. Once the music started, he began nodding to the beat but was stopped because he was just listening to the music and not dancing. Once the music started back up again, Jen cackled when he dropped to his knees, headbanging to the beat, before bouncing around.
“We have never seen this before!” Coni said with praise.
“You kneeled down on your knees!” Doni remarked in amazement.
“I am this team’s main dancer,” Jin said confidently, catching Doni’s heart and is now in first place for the beef.
Next up was Jungkook, who had to dance to some electronic music. The members continued their chorus of laughter as he randomly moved around, loosely in a joint dance.
‘Shoulder bones which control the rhythm.’
But once he spun on his back on the floor, the hosts yelled in surprise, causing him to take the first place spot. “He really became one with the music.” Doni praised. “Next up, our pink boy.”
As soon as Chris Brown’s Turn Up The Music came on, Rapmon danced frivolously, causing him to be stopped, twice. The third time, the members couldn’t stop giggling and Rapmon received the nickname, Pink Soul.
“Miss Bangtan, you’re up next!” Doni announced as she stood up.
“Let’s do this!” She said with confidence.
An instrumental of Jennifer Lopez’s Get Right came on and she immediately started dancing freely. Then she dropped down into a split, taking the hosts off guard as she heard the three dings, meaning that she was now in first place.
“Ayeeee!” She celebrated after standing up and went back to her seat.
“That took me off guard. I thought she hurt herself.” Coni exclaimed.
“She is always full of surprises.” Doni looked on.
Jimin was next but ended up using too much of his waist for a children's program as Doni called him out on it. Lastly was Hobi, who effectively started dancing, as his mic fell off. Doni even started dancing with him and declaring Hobi the winner while the members applauded.
J-Hope received the crown and the beef. But out of nowhere, Jennie decided to swipe a piece of beef from Hobi.
“Ahhhhh!” Doni and Coni yelled, pointing her out as she looked around, wondering what was wrong. “You stole the beef!”
“I took one!”
“Punishment!” Doni yelled as he walked up to her, making her get out of her seat. The members laughed as she complained
“I just wanted one bite!”
“No excuses! Punishment!” Coni shouted. “Let’s make her dance for five minutes to various songs. And if it’s not to our liking, she’ll have to do it all over again.”
“Are you serious?” Jennie groaned.
“Jennie is the boy group expert. She knows a bunch of their dances.” Jin called out.
“Is that so? Show us!” Coni announced.
“Ah, it’s a bit embarrassing.” She grinned nervously.
“I want to be entertained or there will be consequences.”
“Oh boy.”
“You got this Jen!” Jimin cheered.
“All this over beef?” She shook her head. Having no choice, she got in position.
“You familiar with Monsta X?” Doni asked
“I’m high key one of their biggest fans.” She answered happily.
“Then we’ll start with trespass. Get in position! I want to see you dance like you’re a part of their group!”
Kneeling on the floor, she waited until the music came on. Her facial expression changed into a serious one as she moved side to side with the beat. Once the chorus came on, she performed the movements sharply and with aggression, just like Monsta X does.
Impressed, Coni requested to go to the next song.
‘Oh, she wants me! Oh, she’s got me!’
The chorus of EXO’s overdose came on as she dropped to the floor, smoothly kicking out from side to side. The members looked on in awe as they watched her dance.
‘The members are charmed’
The next song that came up was the chorus of GOT7's A.
“Did you see how big her smile got when GOT7 came on!?” Doni pointed out. “What do you think of that BTS?”
“Is there something we should know?” Rapmon questioned with fake anger, crossing his arms.
“What’s going on Jennie?!” V called her out with the studio laughing at their banter.
“I’m smiling because of the mood of the song! Stop distracting me!” She tried to stay focused.
“LIES!” J-Hope yelled.
As she danced to various songs, the last one was GOT7's Stop Stop It as another smile came across her face.
“How come she smiles for GOT7!?” Jimin exclaimed with a giggle.
“Somethings up!” Jin pointed out while Jen happily lip-synced the song while dancing.
“Well done!” Doni and Coni shouted as she sighed out of relief and bowed. She was applauded by the studio for her efforts.
“I am very proud to see her focused and on point with the dances. But Jennie, how come you don’t act this enthusiastic when we do our dances?” J-Hope asked, feeling jealous as everyone laughed.
“I do!” She disagreed. “I do fangirl over other groups in my special way, which is learning their choreography in my spare time.”
“Any particular group,” Coni questioned.
The Bangtan Boys stared at her, hard, as she laughed nervously at being put on the spot.
“There IS,” Jungkook yelled.
“Spill it!” Jimin shouted.
“...7...” She murmured.
“What was that?” Coni asked.
“GOT7.” She answered.
“GOT7!?” J-Hope’s jaw dropped, as the members freaked out.
“Watch GOT7 become GOT8, now.” Jin joked.
“I just really like their style and work ethic. I wouldn’t mind collabing with others. If BTS and GOT7 could collaborate, that’d be awesome.” She smiled at the camera
“Since we are on this subject, who else do you want to collab? And then I want the rest of the members to answer.” Doni requested.
“A lot of people and the list is growing. To name a few, I’d like to collab with Ailee, Zico, CL and Hyuna. I’m nowhere near their level yet. But I hope to work very hard to push for a collab with one of them one day and earn the opportunity. I have a long way to go.”
For the next round, called Cringey acting King. Coni revealed that they managed to get hold of BTS’ special video clips. As soon as they showed Jungkook’s video, V screamed and jumped out of his seat, while the others cringed.
“I knew this would surface sooner or later.” Rap Monster sighed while Jennie snickered at the members freaking out. “I said it will appear one day.”
“I protested strongly against it!” Suga got out of his seat
They were showing clips of the guys’ videos they made for a Japanese game they filmed over a year ago. Jennie wasn’t a part of it, but she was amused at how much they were panicking over it.
“This is the first time I’ve seen these. Hahah, why does their hair remind me of Edward Cullen? I’m cringing!” She looked on.
Those hairstyles were awful to her. Who greenlit this?
Suga let out a yell of despair as he watched his clip, falling down on his knees.
For this round, they requested that every member act with cringeworthy lines. The person who made Doni and Coni have the most goosebumps, wins. When they revealed Rap Monster’s lines, he couldn’t stop cringing as he placed his head down, jumping up and down in his seat.
‘It’s the first time...that I like someone so much. Even if the world is filled with enemies, we will still protect the woman we love. Even so, you’re my woman.’
“Jennie, would this statement woo you?” Doni asked.
“No, not even close.” She shook her head.
Rap Monster was the first to go as he made eye contact with the camera.
“It’s the first time...” He started off but got stopped when Doni banged on the xylophone.
“It is too light,” Coni said.
“Do it like the Japanese version, a little stronger,” Doni added.
The leader started again, “It’s the first time...that I like someone so much. Even if the world is filled with enemies. We will still protect the woman we love. Even so, you, are my woman.” He finished while Suga yelled in disgust.
Next up was V, who turned in his seat to yell, “Don’t appear in my dreams! Because I will keep thinking about you...” he trailed off because he kept noticing everyone laughing.
“How was that, Jennie?” Doni asked.
“I’m...a little scared.” She answered, earning laughter from everyone in the studio
The hosts requested that Rap Monster try out the line. “Don’t make me say this twice. I...even if I hate you, I still like you.” He winked.
“I just wanna punch him.” Jen made a fist, bewildered at how cringeworthy he sounded.
“You can rely on me at times. Do you think you can escape from me? I’m going to keep liking you.” Jungkook was the next one to go.
“Are you a Japanese?” Doni asked the Golden Maknae, as he and Coni mocked his confession, but praised him for his acting.
Rapmon was still in first place while J-Hope was the next one to go. He got into character, blowing everyone away with his acting skills, “You...can just look at me only. When I look at your smiling face, I become happier.”
Jennie couldn’t help but stiff a laugh as she tried to hold it in, watching him.
“Is it because I like you?” J-Hope went on, as Rapmon stomped his feet and Suga kneeled from his seat, laughing silently. “It doesn’t matter! Isn’t it? I lost...because I fell for you.” He dramatically said with everyone yelling in disgust once more.
Jimin was next, as he looked at the camera seriously and sighed, but then he started laughing because he was dragging it.
He was praised for his sigh and tried it again. “No matter what happens, I’ll be right by your side...don’t show such expression to other people other than me. Don’t MIA from me.”
Rap Monster was announced the winner and received a crown, while he ate Korean beef.
“How is it?” Coni asked
“Now, I won’t make you lonely anymore.” Rapmon went back into his acting persona, causing everyone to groan. “If you like other guys, I won’t forgive you.” He picked up a piece of pork, about to place it in his mouth but stopped.
“Stop!” Coni yelled.
“Just eat it, now!” Doni yelled
“EAT!” Jennie shouted as the members continued to laugh. “Weird!”
The last round was called King of Destruction. The person who tears off the most number of pages from a calendar will win.
The staff brought out a table with eight calendars. Jennie grabbed hers and sat on the floor with Suga, Tae and Jimin.
“3...2...1...go!” The hosts announced as the eight members began tearing away at the calendars.
Papers were flying all over the place, as the hosts laughed.
“Ahhhhh!” Hobi slammed his calendar on the floor, giving up.
Exhausted, the members reveal their dates. Jin got up to July 31, Jennie got up to August 1, Jungkook came up to August 4, V went up to August 17, Jimin had January 2, Rapmon didn’t tear in order and if he did, he would have gotten September 2, so V was the winner of the round.
“Okay, V, we will give you a chance to share it with one person.” Doni allowed.
V smiled directly at Jennie and walked over to her. Grabbing her hand, he made her get out of her seat and escorted her to the table. The members complained, calling her out and that she shouldn’t get any meat because she stole a piece of Hobi’s beef from before.
“Y'all suck, I hope you know that. I’ll remember that when you want me to bake for you. I’ll give them all to V, now.” She got back in her seat, with the members contemplating on their choice for calling her out if it meant they couldn’t eat her baking.
“Lastly, before we get into the closing segment, Jennie, you have a video message,” Coni informed her, as her ears perked up.
“I do? This is a surprise. Who is it from?”
“A member of a new girl group that was on the show earlier this year,” Doni explained while they show the video.
There was CLC sitting with Doni and Coni, and Yeeun, who so happened to be a part of Jungkook and Jennie’s grade a SOPA, was the one who sent a message.
Yeeun was asked if there was any group member she would like to meet. “I would like to meet Bangtan Sonyeondan's Jennie. She seems like a very sweet person. And I admire her dancing. We go to SOPA together, but I never approached her. Sometimes, I get a little shy.” She giggled.
“Why don’t you send her a greeting,” Doni suggested.
Yeeun looked at the screen and smiled, waving at the camera. “Hello, Jennie! This is Yeeun from CLC. You dance and sing so well. I hope to work just as hard as you. I would like to be friends with you. Let’s hang out sometime! Fighting!”
As Jennie watched, she giggled. “She’s so cute, that makes me feel really good about myself that she wants to meet me.”
“Do you have a response?” Coni asked.
Turning to the camera, Jennie grinned. “Girl! Hit me up, and let’s hang out! We’ll see each other when school starts again. And don’t be shy! I’m looking forward to meeting you! Eat well and stay well rested! And FYI, I love CLC’s music!”
Ok!

------
On the set for the For You MV, Jennie wore a yellow hoodie with jeans and Nike sneakers.

With her hair in a messy bun, she also wore glasses, which showed a cuter side of her because of how they framed her face. Hobi and Taehyung kept gushing on how adorable she looked with the glasses, as she tried her best to avoid their teasing.
As a camera filmed her getting her makeup retouched, she spoke about her role in the MV with nervousness. “So, I have a babysitting role in this. Babysitting. I’m going to be with cute, small children. I’m a bit on edge about it, I don’t think I’m good with kids. I have a feeling we’re going to have a tough time filming.”
She was overthinking everything with this music video. She was still emotional over what had happened back at home and now had to deal with making sure her shots were great for the MV.
But will the kids give her a hard time? Will there be any chemistry?
For her role, Jennie was to be filmed babysitting three children who looked around the age of 6 to 8 years old. Two Japanese boys and one girl. Adorable child actors they were. It brought a smile to her face as she watched the little girl with pigtails eagerly approach her and say hi. She seemed the most outgoing.
One of the boys stood next to the girl and introduced himself, asking Miss Bangtan if she was into any “cool boy stuff” and not the “girly stuff”. His eyes lit up when she mentioned all the video games she would play whenever she could, and also the anime she watched. The boy even gave her suggestions of what anime to check out.
It seemed like Miss Bangtan had overthought things because the children were quite enjoyable to be around and she seemed to be at ease. But most importantly, she made them feel comfortable, which was always something she strived for when meeting new people.
“We’re gonna play dress up and dolls and tag and patty cake and...” The little girl went on as Jennie nodded eagerly, amused.
This was going to be an interesting music video.
Jennie turned to the last little boy. As she observed him, she noticed that his cheeks were pink and he averted his eyes from her, trying to keep his distance.
Was he shy?
For some reason, the kid reminded her of Jungkook. Quiet, kept to himself, took more time to open up. She wanted to make the boy feel comfortable, but how?
With Jungkook, she sparked a conversation with him about Iron Man, and things blasted from there. Now the Golden Maknae claimed her as his “Golden Best Friend” and they were inseparable as their bond grew stronger day by day.
As the filming began, it started with Jennie running around with the kids, playing tag in the house. The director wanted her to first look happy, enjoying the fact that she and the others were working hard at their jobs just so their Golden Maknae could get a plane ticket to see his long distance lover.
Filming progressed as Jennie covered her eyes and began to count while the children started to run around to find a hiding spot. After she counted to ten, she instantly knew where they were hiding but pretended to have a hard time looking for them so they could enjoy the game longer. When she caught them, they giggled wholeheartedly.
After taking a brief break, Jen sat at a table with the shy boy. They had a sheet of math homework in front of them, as the camera started rolling. They were told to improvise, no script involved, just enough shots to show her helping him with his homework.
Jungkook, who was watching in the background chuckled softly at the scene as Jimin and Tae joined him.
“Remember she was freaking out when she found out she would be filming with children? She’s doing just fine.” Jimin praised.
The three boys had tried to distract Jennie while she was filming and even made derp faces, which worked because she started to laugh with the shy kid who kept giggling at them.
Getting back on track, filming started again and she began to speak, “Looks like for this homework, all you have to do is addition.” She checked out the paper.
“I don’t like math...” The boy murmured with a frown.
“Why not?”
“It’s too hard. Can we play a little more?” He pouted.
She was tempted to say yes because he was just too adorable, but she remained focused. “After you finish your homework.”
“Please~?”
“After the math, I promise we can play, okay?”
“Do you pinky promise?”
Smiling softly she stuck out her pinky and linked it with his. “Pinky promise.”
The Maknae Line had smiled at the cute gesture between her and the little boy. It was always nice to see her like this.
"Jennie would be a great mom," Taehyung said as Jimin and Jungkook agreed. "She's so gentle with him,"
“Now, let’s go to the first question. 4 plus 5.” Jen read.
“Um...” The boy hesitated and stayed silent for a moment.
The table seemed more interesting in his eyes as he ignored the question. Jennie let him be, watching him. With her elbows on the table and palms resting on her upper arms, she remained patient. The boy had looked up at her, noticing her waiting for any type of response to the question as a soft smile came across her face. He shyly looked away and tried to think of an answer, but to no avail.
The Maknae Line continued to watch, admiring her sense of patience with the boy.
“Four and five together.” She spoke softly.
“Can we skip this one?”
She shook her head and let out a chuckle. “Four plus five. You’re adding four and five together.”
“Eight?”
“Hm...not quite. You’re close. You added four and four instead of five.”
“Can’t we just use a calculator?”
“We could but this worksheet doesn’t want you to use a calculator. It wants to test your math skills and challenge you. You can do it. Let’s try again.” She put up four fingers. “How many fingers am I holding up?”
“Four.”
“Let’s add five fingers. 1...2...3...4...5.” She counted as she now had nine fingers up. “How many is this?”
“Nine.”
“So, what is four plus five?”
“Nine?”
“That’s right!” She gave him a high five.
“Yay, can we play now?”
“After 19 more questions on this worksheet.”
“Aw, man...” He whined, causing her to giggle.
She looked up to see Jungkook watching them. She flashed him a smile and turned her concentration back to the worksheet. The little boy started to open up to her more. It was her kindness and soft tone of voice she used that made him feel comfortable. She was elated that he started talking to her more.
The next round of filming was to show her struggles while doing her job. The kids were asked to act as chaotic as possible, running around, trying to mess with anything around them, basically giving her a hard time as she tried to get them ready for bed. Jennie portrayed herself as exhausted, restlessly trying to get the kids to calm down and prepare for their bedtime. Even picking them up and carrying them to bed but then they would get out of bed and run around to play.
Once she finally got them settled, she sighed and finally relaxed on the couch. She quickly got off the couch when she heard the door open to see the parents walking in. Once they paid her for the service, she bowed and smiled gratefully.
After filming her shots with the kids, Jennie bowed and thanked everyone for their hard work. Kneeling, she wrapped her arms around the little girl and the outgoing boy who went to hug her.
“You’ll come back to Japan and remember us, right?” The boy eagerly asked.
“We’ll remain friends, right? You’ll come and visit?” The little girl beamed.
Once Jennie answered, happily saying, “You betcha.” She was met with loud yays.
As the two kids left, Jen noticed that the shy boy stopped following the others. Running back to her, he surprised her when he hugged her leg tightly.
“Oh!” She said in surprise, immediately kneeling to hug him back as a soft chuckle escaped her lips.
“Thank you for being a kind babysitter.” He smiled brightly and ran back to meet with the other kids.
She stood up, watching him leave. “Thanks for warming up to me.”

Changing her outfit, for when the group danced, she wore a black and white floral crop top and high waisted pants with a black choker. She still kept her glasses on, as she filmed her individual shots, smiling and showing a softer side.
She started to giggle and feel a little shy with the camera so close to her face and ended up covering her face, to laugh. The director liked the way it was genuine and kept the shot, deciding to put it in the MV.
Taking a break, while the others took turns with their filming, Jen sat down and checked out her messages.
Still no response from her sister, Vienna.
Bummed, she sighed. She’ll just have to wait. Hopefully one day she’ll talk to her again.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt a light pat on her head. Looking up, her eyes softened. She stood up to see Jungkook in his bear suit, with a large, adorable bear head on his head.
“Really?” She giggled while watching him dance around.
Jimin had suggested for Jungkook to find Jennie and show off his cute bear suit, portraying a mascot. He figured it would cheer her up since she was still fixated on what happened back at home.
The Golden Maknae opened his arms out, gesturing for her to bring it in, for a hug. She laughed and embraced him tightly. His cuteness with the bear suit, made her forget about her worries about her sister.
The day before they were to go back to Seoul, the members decided to take a trip to a local laser tag place to let loose. Taehyung suggested it and also thought it would help get rid of all the negative feelings Jen was still feeling from what happened at home. She appreciated the guys for trying to distract her and do whatever they could to take her mind off what happened with Vienna. It was working tremendously well.
Team Blue consisted of Jungkook, Taehyung, Yoongi and Hobi. While Team Red had Jennie, Namjoon, Jimin and Jin.
Putting on their gear, Jin helped Jennie put on her vest and adjusted it, making sure it was secure.
“Ready to win?” She asked him.
“Let’s do this, sweetie!"
When the match began, everyone started running, as pewing sounds and fake laser shots were heard. Yells, laughs and screams filled the room, while Jennie decided to take a defensive route and keep her distance from everyone. She could try to sneak up behind someone and take them down.
Jungkook had begun to follow her discreetly, aiming to shoot her vest when she least expected it.
Hearing someone behind her, Jen turned and pulled the trigger, to see Hobi screaming in surprise when his vest vibrated and he was immobilized for a few moments, unable to shoot.
Out of nowhere, Jungkook grabbed her from behind as she gasped in surprise. She squirmed out of his grip, grabbing his gun. She managed to start raising it in the air so he wouldn’t shoot, but his strength began to be too much to handle as he slowly started to lower it back down. He then turned his gun to one of the target spots on her vest, ready to shoot.
“Game over.” He pulled the trigger
“Muscled bunny.” She rolled her eyes when she was immobilized.
As the game progressed, she constantly got clean shots, earning points for her team.
“Freeze!” Taehyung giggled, pointing his laser gun from behind her.
She sighed and put her hands up in defense. “Okay. Okay.”
But before he could aim and shoot, she quickly turned around and smoothly hit one of the target spots on his chest when he was distracted from celebrating.
“Hey! No fair!”
“Gotta be quicker than that, Tae!” She patted him on the back and went to find the rest of his teammates.
When her team won the first round, Jen worked with Jin during the next round. Jin yelling and doing his trademark dance moves to try to distract the members so she could shoot them worked excellently.
But near the end of the round, she finally was shot, thanks to Jungkook and Hobi, who ganged up on her after taking Jin down.
She stared them down, narrowing her eyes as they giggled. “Hee hee, haha. I’ll remember that for the final round.” she pointed at them, unamused.
Jungkook’s team barely managed to win the second round thanks to a last minute shot from Hobi to Jin.
For the final round, Jen decided to go all out, coming for everyone. She was hit a few times but managed to hit more targets this round. Finding Jungkook, she placed her laser gun on his back as he froze.
“Any last words?” She demanded.
“Yeah. You’re too slow.” He responded.
Before she could comprehend what he meant, he quickly grabbed the gun out of her hand as they tried to fight for it. Backing her up against the nearest wall, she started to laugh.
“I win.” He grinned victoriously
“AH HA!” Jimin shot Jungkook. “Never let your guard down Kookie!” He giggled while the Golden Maknae gave him a dirty look, releasing Miss Bangtan.
“Better luck next time, Kook.” Jen patted him on the back and grabbed her gun before heading to another area.
“So...what were you two doing in the corner over here?” Jimin wiggled his eyes.
“Shut up, hyung.” Jungkook crossed his arms, waiting for his vest to recover so he could play again.
“Kookie’s mad that I ruined his moment with Jennie~” He teased.
Having enough, Jungkook wrapped his arm around his neck, putting him in a chokehold. “What was that?” He laughed as Jimin tried to get out of his hold, tapping out.
------
Back in South Korea, Jen decided to text Hayoon to see if she was free. Hayoon invited her to meet with GFriend in one of the dance studios of Source Entertainment. When she arrived, she was immediately greeted with smiling faces and eagerly watched them practice
“Jennie! Have you been practicing our dances that Hayoon taught you?” Umji asked with a soft smile.
“Ah...a little bit.” Jennie rubbed the back of her neck.
But it wasn’t a little bit, she actually had spent more time trying to perfect the dance because she wanted to get it right, overcoming her embarrassment of acting cute with dances such as this.
“Show us!” Sowon suggested. The rest of the girls eagerly agreed.
“I’m going to be so awkward, but okay.” Jen stood up from sitting against the mirror.
“Yay! Make us proud!” Eunha beamed.
“And don’t forget to smile~!” Hayoon teased.
“And don’t forget to smile.” The Bangtan Girl mocked, getting in position while GFriend watched keenly.
Exhaling, Jen began to move once Glass Bead filled the studio.
‘Feet on point with the music.’ She thought as she started to dance. ‘And don’t forget to smile.’ She immediately had a bright smile on her face.
“Ah...so cute!” Yerin gushed.
As Jen danced the chorus of the song, keeping that bright smile on her face as requested, Hayoon had taken her phone to record her, before posting it on the BTS Twitter. ‘Hacked by Hayoon of GFriend. Jennie is so adorable~! You’ve worked hard!’
Near the end, with Jennie executing the high kick on beat with the song, GFriend watched on with proud smiles on their faces. Despite Jen’s reluctance, she danced well, and in sync with the song. As she finished the dance with the ending pose, she was met with loud cheers and applause.
"I did it! Thank you!" she looked relieved that her performance went well.
Jennie had continued to watch GFriend finish their dance practice and Hayoon had rested her head on her shoulder, resting her eyes.
Grabbing her phone, Jen takes a quick photo and tweets, ‘My shy girlfriend worked hard today. #JEN’
Of course, most fans automatically started shipping them together as a couple which was funny to them as they were always doing skinship. Hayoon was more touchy-feely than Jen after she opened up to her more. Now, she always tended to hug Miss Bangtan whenever she could.
Later on that day, Jennie arrived at the bowling place, to meet with GOT7. Bam Bam was the first to notice her walk in and ran to her, in the middle of a conversation with Jackson.
“Hey! You made it!” He grinned, wrapping his arms around her for a tight hug.
“Of course, wouldn’t miss it! I’m not late, am I?” She asked as she was released.
“Nah, just in time. Come on, the guys are over here.” He grabbed her hand and escorted her to where the rest of the members were.
She was excitedly greeted by the members, with Jackson picking her up and spinning her around.
“Before we play, we gotta pick teams. Teams of two sound good. Who is with who?” JB spoke.
“I pick Jennie!” Bam Bam shouted
“Of course you would.” Jackson teased him, as the rest of the members laughed.
“Jen, he would not shut up about you.” Yugyeom put Bam Bam on the spot.
“Yeah, he kept making sure we were here on time. So rushy.” Jinyoung chimed in.
“He was so excited that you were coming here today,” JB added.
Bam Bam shot glares at his members, who giggled at his reaction.
“Really? That’s so sweet that you really wanted me to be here. Thank you for inviting me and welcoming me here.” Jen spoke.
“Ah, it’s no big deal. I-I just like being around you.” Bam Bam felt his face warm up as he shrugged.
“I like being around you, too.”
The rest of the teams consisted of Mark & Jackson, Jinyoung & JB, and Youngjae & Yugyeom. They all get their bowling shoes and put their names on the monitor.
“What should we call ourselves?” Jennie asked.
“BamJen?” Bam Bam suggested.
“Cute!” She put in the name while the rest combined their names in teams. Sitting down on the couch, Bam Bam sat next to her.
“Hey, Jennie, I heard you have a dog,” Mark said, making her smile and nod. “What’s his name? Do you have pictures?”
“Yeah, he’s so adorable. Jungkook and I are taking care of him. His name is Tony.” She brought up photos on her phone and showed them.
“I want him.”
“Nah, he’s mine, haha. He’s a very friendly dog. I’ll see if I can bring him over, the next time I hang with you, guys.”
“Now that would be great.” He nodded in approval.
As the game began, Jen’s team was the first to bowl. “Ladies first.” Bam Bam gestured.
“Kick ass, Jennie!” Jackson cheered.
“Don’t hit any pins!” JB teased.
“Wait, can we use bumpers? Can we change it?” She asked. She was answered by a chorus of exaggerated Nos, as she shook her head. “Well, damn. Tough crowd.” She laughed and picked up a blue bowling ball.
“I believe in you, Jennie!” Bam Bam encouraged her.
“I hope it makes it in the gutter!” Yugyeom teased, earning a playful glare from her.
Rolling the ball, she anxiously watched it roll down and managed to hit three pins near the end, almost landing in the gutter. Bam Bam and Jackson’s cheering made her jump up and down in excitement.
“Woo! That was luck right there.” She beamed. For her second attempt, she rolled the ball and managed to get two more, and she was pleased that she at least got something.
She watched Youngjae go next, grabbing a bowling ball. He made sure to stand behind the line to turn back to them to say, “I feel a bit nervous.”
“You’ll do fine, just roll with it,” she reassured him. Once he rolled the ball, the ball fell directly into the gutter, while everyone applauded him. “That was just wonderful.”
For his second attempt, the ball fell into the gutter again.
“Can’t believe he did it again.” Bam Bam exclaimed.
Mark & Jackson were up, and Jackson decided to bowl for the team.
“Wang is ready!” Jackson confidently said. He let Mark touch it for good luck and as he rolled the ball, it landed right in the gutter. “This is all your fault!” He said to his partner, over everyone’s laughter.
“He’s not that good either!” Youngjae felt a little better that he was not the only one who was bad at bowling.
For the second attempt, Jackson managed to hit a couple near the end but got blasted by the members, claiming he wasn’t that good.
“No, this was just a warm-up!” Jackson tried to defend himself.
“Very interesting warm-up, that was.” Jen played along.
“I thought you had my back!” He shouted as she laughed
Junior was next and managed to score 9 points, effortlessly leaving only 1 pin left.
“Whoa!” Jen freaked out with the rest of the members.
As the game went on, Bam Bam was next to bowl for his team and got a strike. “Yeah!” she high fived him and hugged him in celebration.
When Jackson bowled again, he hit only a few pins at the end and started to complain. “This lane has a problem!”
“Lame! Don’t blame the game, Jackson!” Jen called him out.
“You’re not good, Jackson.” His hyungs claimed.
“Don’t judge me!” He whined.
Poor Jackson. Today wasn't his day.
As the game progressed, Youngjae rolled his ball into the gutter, yet again while Jennie, Bam Bam, Jackson and Mark, eagerly applauded his efforts.
“I’m angry! I can’t hit any pins!” Youngjae shouted.
Jennie snorted and rested her head on Bam Bam’s shoulder as she started laughing.
Once it was her turn again, she got the majority of the pins and earned a spare on her second attempt after knocking down the rest.
“Aye! We lit!” She celebrated.
“Atta girl!” Bam Bam picked her up and spun her around.
“Cheater! That was cheating!” Jackson playfully complained.
“Don’t hate the player, hate the game.” She said as she got set down.
Once it was Jackson’s turn again and he finally got a strike, making the members applaud him. He acted cool, swaggering as he brushed imaginary lint off his shoulder.
“Take that, Jennie.” He playfully opened his arms, waiting for her to clap back.
“Okay, I see you.” She responded, nodding in approval.
The members noticed that Jackson had ripped his pants while playing, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.
After the game, Bam Bam and Jennie managed to snag second place, and they took a break, eating lunch together. The two decided to check out the small arcade that was also with the bowling alley and played a round of basketball. Bam Bam had filmed her for 15 seconds on his Instagram and posted it.
Then he took a photo of her posing in front of her high score on the basketball game as she tweeted the photo on her phone, ‘Suga would be proud. #JEN’
Back at the dorm, Jungkook was with Jimin and noticed a new set of photos posted on their Twitter. He then glimpsed at her group selfie with GOT7.
‘Making new buddies! Thanks for making my day and spending time with me! Jackson, you’re A-OK in bowling, lol. #JEN’
“Ah...why does he gotta be so close to her like that...?” Jungkook unintentionally thought out loud as he recognized how close she and Bam Bam were.
“Jealous?” Jimin decided to tease when he noticed what Jungkook was grumbling about.
“No.”
“Whatever you say. But don’t worry. Things will be just fine, Jungkookie.” He reassured.
‘I promise it will. I’ll make sure of it.’ Jimin determinedly thought to himself.
Later that night, Jungkook, Jimin, Tae and Hobi played the Wii in the living room, while Jen went to bed early because she had an early schedule. Goofing around, Jungkook brought up a conversation on what should they do for a prank, for their dorm prank war.
“Why don’t we all work together to mess with someone?” Hobi suggested.
“But who?” Tae asked.
“What about Jennie?” Jungkook suggested.
“She’s sleep though,” Hobi reminded.
“So what? Let’s be loud and wake her.” Taehyung giggled.
“Let’s do this!” Jimin agreed.
As the night progressed, the guys turned the TV up a little louder, started to talk louder and even began to laugh louder than usual.
To Jennie, she grimaced at the loud disturbance that woke her up from her slumber.
“Are you friggin kidding me...?” She grumbled against her pillow
As they continued being loud, she slammed her hand on the pillow and angrily got up from her bed. Swinging her door open, she stomped over to the living room.
“Can you PLEASE keep it down? I have an early schedule tomorrow.” She crankily pleaded with them.
“Sorry, Jennie. We’ll stay quiet.” Hobi responded, watching her adjust her scarf, protecting her hair.
“Yeah, sorry for waking you.” Jungkook chimed in.
“Thank you...” She grumbled and went back to her room.
Getting back under the covers, she tried to go back to sleep. Not even five minutes later, she was disturbed again by loud yelling and laughter.
“GUYS! KEEP IT DOWN!” She yelled from her room.
“SORRY!” She heard Jimin yell back.
“For fuck sake...” She rolled her eyes.
She hated it whenever they would be this loud.
As they continued to be loud, which seemed like it was on purpose, she was fed up and ready to knock somebody out. Swinging her door open again, she marched back to the living room.
“All right, I’m about to kick all your asses. I am not the one, and I am not the number two, I TOLD you to BE QUIET! Shut the hell up! Do you NOT see my door closed!? I should NOT be hearing you when my door is closed!” She shouted at them with irritation.
The guys couldn’t help but laugh at how angry she was. Their prank was extremely successful. But this was terrible timing to prank her because she was incredibly irritable since it was past 2 AM.
“This shit isn’t funny!” She shouted. “I shouldn’t be hearing you right now, go to bed! Got damn!”
She tossed a pillow at them and stormed back into her room. This was going to be a terrible morning with a lack of sleep.
---------
A few days later, finding the perfect day for vengeance, Jennie made an effort to wake up earlier than usual. She warned Yoongi, Jin and Namjoon about what she was planning to do as a prank to get back at the others for disturbing her sleep. Yoongi appreciated the notice and eagerly accepted her earplugs to block out any sound. Namjoon pondered if the guys would be alive after she was done with them, and Jin had warned her that he wasn’t going to clean up any mess she made.
Today, she was going to be petty.
Walking into the kitchen, she went through the cabinets to find a set of pans and a set of pots.
“Pans or pots?” She mumbled, before deciding on the pans.
Placing them on the counter, she filled up some small buckets with ice cold water.
They really thought she was going to let that slide, but they will soon find out that they were mistaken.
Jungkook, Jimin, Taehyung and Hobi slept, enjoying their rest before they would have to get up for an early dance practice. The Dope era was around the corner and it would be soon that they start to film for the MV. Today was one of their last dance practices.
With Jungkook, he slept peacefully, but his slumber was short lived once he heard harsh noises, causing him to stir in his bed.
*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG*
“Everybody wake up! ‘Errbody up! Rise and shine!” Jen’s loud voice was heard.
Jungkook was not surprised that she wanted to get him and his hyungs back for what they had done days prior. But loud noises aren’t going to annoy him as easily as he endured it.
“If she comes in my room...” The Golden Maknae murmured, plotting what he should do if she decided to mess with him while he was in bed.
Deep down, he hoped she would come to his room. He genuinely wanted her to do something to get back at him.
Meanwhile, with Jennie, she continued to walk around the dorm, making as much noise as possible. “I didn’t get no sleep cause of y’all! Y'all not gonna get no sleep cause of me! I didn’t get no fucking sleep cause of y’all! Y'all not gonna get no sleep cause of me! I didn’t get no sleep cause of y’all!” she shouted in English, thinking about Tanisha from Bad Girls Club.
She proceeded to slam the pans together, walking to where Hobi, Jimin and Tae were, making a lot of racket near their beds. She watched as they tried to tune it out by placing pillows over their heads.
“I’m not done, you think I’m done? This is only the beginning.” She placed the pans back in the kitchen and went to grab one bucket of ice water.
Hobi’s loud screech was heard as she splashed him with the frigid water, causing him to flop throughout the bed from the cold contact. He ended up falling off his bed, tangled in his bedsheets.
Deciding that Taehyung would be her next target, she went over to his bed, choosing to use her strength to toss over his mattress, causing him to roll out of his bed. He started laughing, trying to plead with her to spare him, but she lifted the mattress and placed it on top of him.
Jumping on top of the mattress, she heard him groan in pain from the collision. He tried to yell for help but no one was coming to save him because you don’t mess with Jennie’s sleep.
Once she left the room, Tae thought she was finished with him and decided to place his mattress back where it was on the bed, and lay back down. But without warning, he was met with cold water on his body. Opening his eyes instantly with a yell escaping from him, he saw Jen standing over him, pouring the water. He jumped out of bed and started running around the dorm, to shake off the coldness.
Laughing at his reaction, she went to Jimin’s bed, to find him already awake.
He giggled nervously. “E-Ennie, how are you this morning?”
“Just peachy, Jimin.” She snatched one of his pillows and whacked him in the face with it.
He laughed and tried to move away but she continuously hit him all over his body. Falling out of bed, Jimin decided to run away to escape.
Placing his pillow back on his bed, she decided to wait for him to come back, expecting him by the door with another bucket of cold water in her hands, ready to be thrown. After over a minute, Jimin thought the coast was clear and opened the bedroom door. But he soon fell on the floor when he was suddenly splashed with the freezing water.
“Morning, Jimin.” She smiled, placing the bucket down.
She patted his damp head and walked down the hallway with a satisfied smile.
Now all that was left was...
Jungkook.
The best for last.
To Jungkook, he impatiently waited for her.
‘Just come to me already...come to my room. I want to see you.’ He thought to himself, eagerly anticipating her to prank him or do whatever she had done to the others.
Five minutes had passed and he began to feel annoyed.
Why did she decide to mess with Hobi, Jimin and Tae, but not him?
How come she didn’t mess with him, yet?
It began to bother him.
He started to feel envious that she pranked them but not him when he was just as involved with messing with her as they were.
Fed up after 30 minutes, he decided to get ready for dance practice. After he changed, he saw her already dressed for practice, leaning over a counter, eating cereal in the kitchen. Jimin and Taehyung were sitting at the table, conversing, while Jennie played on her phone while it was charging.
Glancing up at the Golden Maknae who walked into the kitchen after the 95 Liners greeted him, she scooped up a spoonful of cereal.
“Morning.” She acknowledged, placing the spoonful in her mouth. She regarded Jungkook staring at her, expectantly and she raised a brow. “You need something?”
“Don’t think I don’t know you’re planning something.” He cut right to the chase, initiating a stare down.
Taking a sip of her water, she responded nonchalantly, “I have no idea what you’re talking about...”
Jimin and Taehyung were making it obvious that they were watching the Maknaes competitiveness clash. They were trying hard not to giggle as they wondered what was going to happen.
Jungkook truly loved the fact that she was keeping him on his toes. She could strike at any moment, but she hadn't. And it annoyed and intrigued him that she had that effect on him. Jennie knew Jungkook would be waiting for her to strike. But she didn’t want to be so predictable this time. She wanted to drive him crazy for a while, see how he’d react. It was working because he was getting frustrated.
“You’re planning something.” He demanded.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” She responded calmly, slowly eating another spoonful as she continued to watch him get aggravated.
“Jennie...” He called out in a threatening tone with his eyes closed.
“Jungkook...” She called out mockingly with an amused smirk.
Jimin started to grin at what he was seeing. The tension between these two was getting thicker. He knew how much they both liked to win and get the upper hand. It’s been a while since he had seen Jungkook so eager for a challenge.
Tilting his head to the side, the Golden Maknae gave her a warning. “Whatever you’re going to do, I would reconsider.”
“What? You think I’m scared of you?” She challenged with a laugh
Her statement sparked his interest and he responded with a smirk on his face. “You really want to do this?”’
He watched as her eyes slowly narrowed at him. Meanwhile, Jimin was eating this up. He couldn’t help but give knowing looks to Taehyung as they watched them. He’ll have to stay close to where the 97 Liners are going to be because it’ll only be a matter of time before she pranks him.
“Do I really want to do this?” Jennie repeated, pretending to think. “Yeah, 'cause it’s more fun this way. I like to see a guy on his toes. Let’s see if you can keep up. I’d watch your back, if I were you, Kookie.” She raised her eyebrows and placed her finished bowl in the sink, rinsing the remaining milk off.
She planned to walk past him but he placed a hand on the counter to stop her. Amused, she exhaled and leaned against the counter, crossing her arms.
Looking up at him, she let out a soft laugh. “What’s the matter, Kook? Getting a little nervous when I might strike?”
“So, this is how you want to play?”
“Whatever do you mean?”
He nodded twice and removed his hand from the counter. “Be careful what you wish for. Mercy will be nonexistent when I hit back tenfold.” He left the kitchen.
His threat didn’t bother her. She wanted to do this more often, it was comical to see him on edge over a prank.
After dance practice, consisting of Jungkook watching his back and the 95 Liners giggling to themselves, they head back to the dorm. Jennie was chilling in her room, catching up on her American TV shows when Jimin walked in.
“Hey, Jimin.” She greeted him and went back to her laptop.
“Are you looking for Jungkook?” He eagerly asked.
“No, I’m just chilling. Why?”
Jimin began to grin mischievously. He wanted to instigate and see what would happen between her and Jungkook.
“Well, I mean...if you want to get him back...you could. He’s showering, right now. Don’t you think it’s a good time to get him back? I would if I were you. What better timing?” He left her to think.
Shrugging, Jennie resumed what she was doing. As she progressed in watching her show, she couldn’t get Jimin’s statement out of her head.
He’s showering.
Jungkook is showering.
He’s in the shower.
‘Maybe I should.’ She got out of bed.
She headed to the kitchen, grabbed one of the small buckets under the sink, and filled it up with cold water. Grabbing an ice tray from the freezer, she popped all the ice cubes in it, to make it colder. If she wanted this to be successful, she must be stealthy.
Carefully and silently, she opened the bathroom door. As she snuck her way to where the shower was, she succeeded in pouring the bucket over the shower. She certainly knew her effort was successful when she heard him yell in alarm. A loud thump was heard and she assumed he slipped and fell as a loud laugh escaped her lips.
“JENNIE!”
Dropping the bucket, she ran out of the room, slamming the bathroom door.
Jungkook aggressively slid the shower curtains on one side and stepped out, intending to grab his towel but realized it was gone.
“What the h-“ He searched around the bathroom and found no towels. “Are you...she...” He growled in frustration, running a hand through his soaked hair.
He was getting irritated.
He should’ve known better.
He didn’t dare think she would sneak in while he was showering.
Turning to the bathroom sink, he tried to grab his clothes but noticed that they were gone, too.
“Are you kidding me!?” He yelled.
Once he got out of this predicament he was going to:
Find her.
Catch her.
And punish her.
Thinking of a way to get out of this, he decided to poke his head out the door, to see if anyone was around.
“Oh, hey Kookie!” Jennie happened to walk by and saw him poking his head out of the door.
“Everything good?”
Face flushed, Jungkook glared at her, which caused her to giggle. “You’re dead!”
She nodded. “Let’s discuss this when you’re not yelling at me, naked, behind a door, mkay? Have fun getting out of that bathroom.” She winked and walked past him.
Vengeance sounded so sweet to Jungkook, right now.
After being stuck in the bathroom for 20 minutes, he eventually noticed Taehyung coming out of his room. “Hyung! Can you please bring me a towel? And a pair of underwear and shorts from my room?”
“Heheh, she got you good.” Taehyung watched him suffer as his face was red.
“Shut up, hyung! Please just help me!"
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you.”
The Golden Maknae sighed out of relief once he received what he asked for.
“If I were you...I would get her now. I can help. I could stall her, hehe. I mean, do you really want her to get away with this?” Taehyung provoked the Golden Maknae. “And Jin isn’t here. So, there won’t be any delays.”
“Do it. Now.” Jungkook shut the door and got dressed.
Taehyung giggled and went about his plan to distract Jennie in the kitchen.
Looks like he wanted to instigate too.
After getting dressed, all that was on Jungkook’s mind was finding Miss Bangtan and making her pay for what she had done. Determined, he marched out of the room and found her talking with Tae.
Hearing movement, Jennie turned and started to laugh, immediately taking steps back.
“I got her!” Taehyung grabbed her from behind, causing her to yell out of confusion.
“Tae!? What the hell!?” She struggled against his hold. “Oh hell no, this ain’t fair!”
“Run Jennie!” Jimin jumped on Tae’s back, making him release his grip. “Run Jennie run!”
Taking his advice, she made a run for it, while Jungkook ran right after her around the dorm.
Rushing into her room, she swiftly turned around and tried to slam it in his face, but he stopped the door just in time. The door was centimeters from being closed as both of them, on each side of the door, tried to push. Jen aimed to push it to shut, while Jungkook, with his muscles flexing, aimed to push it open.
“Kook, knock it off! This is what you get, stop being a fart!” She used all her strength to close her door, but his strength happened to overpower hers. He started to lean forward, opening up her door a little more, as a grunt of struggle escaped her lips.
“What did you think was going to happen?” He exclaimed. “Accept your fate.”
“Leave!”
“I will when I’m done with you!”
“You’re such an idiot! Don’t make me hit you!”
“If you dare hit the golden maknae, there will be consequences!”
“There will be consequences if you don’t get off my door!”
“Are you threatening me?” He stuck an arm through the opening of the door.
“No, I’m threatening you.” She sarcastically remarked, smacking his arm. “Let go of the door!”
“Stop shutting me out, I’m gonna get you anyway!”
“Like hell you are! That’s what you get for being so loud with the others a few nights ago! Deal with it!”
“All right, I will.” He finally pushed the door open, causing her to shriek and stumble back. He shut the door and locked it. “Let’s deal with it.”
Giggling, she put her fists up, preparing to swing. “Back up!”
When he got too close, she punched him in the chest. She aimed to hit him again but he grabbed her wrist. Jennie ended up smacking his head with a pillow on her bed. He lost his grip on her and she started hitting his body with her pillow.
He snatched the pillow out of her hands and tossed it to the floor. She managed to evade his attempt to grab her and jumped on her bed. He followed her as she tried to escape. Having enough, he grabbed her by the wrist and lifted her over his shoulder, causing her to yell.
“Jungkook! Put me down!” She banged her fists on his back as he unlocked her door and left the room.
She tried to grab onto anything to keep him from walking to wherever his destination was but failed miserably as Jimin and Tae laughed at the commotion.
“Where are you taking me? Hey! Hey! You muscled little shit, I asked you a question! Jungkook! Jungkook!! Put me down, you little shit!” She shouted over the 95 Liners’ laughter.
Her name calling was interrupted when she yelped in surprise after feeling an abrupt hard smack on her ass.
“Hey! Did you just smack my ass!?” She exclaimed as she felt her face heat up from the sudden spank.
She decided to smack his butt in return before trying to squirm out of his firm grip.
“Hehehe, Jungkookie smacked Jennie's butt. He's always obsessed with butts, I'm surprised he waited this long to touch hers," Jimin giggled with Tae.
“Do you need help, Jungkook?” Tae decided to ask after the Golden Maknae walked past them.
“She’s mine. I got this,” he responded, opening the door of the bathroom and walking in.
“Why are we going in here!?” Jennie complained as he shut the door.
Walking over to the shower, he turned it on to the coldest setting. Realization hit her as she desperately tried to avoid his efforts to drop her in the tub.
“You are NOT putting me in there! Jungkook!” She yelled in a high pitched voice.
His strength would be too much for her as he finally dropped her in. She screamed at the cold contact of the water, while he laughed at her. She hastily tried to turn the shower off, but he made sure she didn’t, so she could get soaked entirely. After a while, she finally turned it off and jumped out of the shower, shivering.
“I hope you know that I hate you. A lot. And I’m freezing.” She sat on the toilet seat, watching him continue to laugh.
He placed a towel over her head and began to dry it for her. Despite him acting like a competitive jerk earlier, he was always sweet to her.
"You bring out that side of me. I like doing things like this with you.” He kneeled in front of her after taking the towel off her head while she continued to try herself off.
“I do too when it’s in my favor!"
“Well, we both know that never happens because I always win.” He grinned victoriously. “But nice try. A for effort.”
Jennie looked at him and shook her head. He smiled and brushed some hair that was stuck to her face.
“After all that, you’re still pretty warm.” She noticed from the contact of his warm fingertips.
“Heh, and you’re pretty cold.”
“Oh, I wonder why.” She responded sarcastically.
