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."

'WWE Exclusive Video'

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

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

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

"Yeah, I'll survive."

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

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

"What?"

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

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

"Yeah, I'm fine."

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

"I'll tell you soon."

"Roman..."

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

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

'At Catering'

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

"Colby took them," Jojo confessed.

"Jojo, you snitch!" Colby shouted. 

Jojo giggled and stuck her tongue out at him. 

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

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

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

"I don't know!" Colby exclaimed.

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

"I ate them!" he confessed.

She released him. "Are you kidding me?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'Next Day'

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

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

"Damn, what happened?" Ariane asked.

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

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

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

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 51- Dope

Chapter Summary: BTS film and promote Dope. Jen supports Black Lives Matter and talks to Namjoon about his comment about Tae and J-Hope's "too black" skin color. Jen reveals a hidden talent and celeb crush during SBS PopAsia TV.

Words: 7,000+

Genre: Just a warning that there is a little angst in this and also mentioning Sandra Bland. Angst but the chapter ends with fluff!

------ “Wow, I look like shit this morning.” Jennie laughed as she checked herself out in the vanity. She sat on a chair, while the stylist began preparing the makeup.

“You need to sleep! I’m starting to see bags.”

Jennie looked at who the words came from. It was Janae, an African American stylist she’s known since her Amity days. Big Hit decided to hire her so she could work on Jen’s hair and makeup. She was also there to aid and guide the stylists on what to do with Jen’s hair if she wasn’t around, so they wouldn’t damage it like they accidentally had done. Janae freaked out when Jen had told her that her hair was falling out. But it wasn’t any of the stylists’ fault. They just weren’t used to her type of hair and she had to keep that in mind.

Janae is a 28 year old stylist who mainly worked with Amity but recently branched out. She was light skinned, naturally a light brunette and curvy. Huge animal lover, too. 

Jen grinned sheepishly. “I may have stayed up to finish catching up on one of my shows.”

Janae rolled her eyes. “You have not changed. You’re still that same teen staying up late when you damn well know you have to get up early for a music video shoot. What am I gonna do with you? Haven’t you learned your lesson?”

“It was worth it, but I have no idea what to do with my life now because I have to wait until the next season. I...I don’t know what I’m going to do for the next few months. This is horrible.”

“What’s horrible are these bags. You should be getting more sleep.”

“It’s too early for lectures, Nae.” She sighed as she got her makeup done.

“Ah, another music video. I like that this will have various concepts with the outfits. Reminds me of that one song from Amity that you guys did.”

“Heh, yeah...” She murmured as her mind drifted to the pleasant memories of the group.

‘Why does fame negatively change people?’ Jen pondered.

The five of them were so tight. Occasional misunderstandings and arguments here and there but that’s normal with friendships. But as the popularity grew, some wanted more opportunities, and they started to forget the concept of what a group effort means since they wanted to always be in the spotlight. Solos were given, but opportunities were lost. 

But Jen had no regrets. What’s done is done, it is what it is.

But she had hoped that maybe one day...they could...

“You alright, babe?”

Jen looked up. “Huh?”

“You spaced out.”

“Oh, I do that. It’s nothing.”

“How long have I known you?”

“Since I started my teenage years.”

“Right. So, I know what you were thinking about. And it’s okay to think about it. Hailey, gosh she used to be such a sweetheart. Trinity and Layla too. Now they’re snobby little female dogs who want everything for themselves, forgetting about those who helped them be who they are today. I hope they can repent and wise up. And I hope one day the five of you can at least rekindle. You ever think about that?”

“Sometimes. But all I think about is punching Hailey in the face, the next time I see her. She did throw a drink at me last year. Badmouthed Bangtan...the list goes on.”

“Yeah, Angelina beat you to that. You know fans have been asking for a reunion. Even if it’s just one song. Maybe one day. Once you all are older and wiser, you can leave the bitterness behind and move forward. Even if you don’t remain friends, at least be cordial. I know that you want to stomp her ass into the ground. Angelina does too but violence isn’t the answer...yet. Now if she tries you...okay then maybe it’s the answer. Amity is on their World Tour, right now. They should be in South Korea around November.”

“Oh, I’m sure Hailey will be visiting. Angelina is supposed to be coming to visit around that time too. All hell is going to break loose.”

“Oh dear, five together? The hostility is real. I think I should be there so none of you won’t kill each other.”

For the first concept of the Dope MV, the members were to dress as business people wearing white shirts, black pants, and a black tie. While being filmed together, the members discussed that this is a one take version and the music video will be using computer graphics.

Shooting went on for the group dance as Jimin lip synced and walked to his spot while the members joined him for the dance. The dance was fast paced, powerful and fun.

For the first take, while the members ran away after dancing in the beginning, Jennie accidentally tripped and stumbled on the floor. She started laughing with the members while Yoongi and Jin helped her up.

“Aish, you’re so clumsy. Are you all right?” Yoongi asked.

“She ate too many smarties, today. She probably has a sugar high.” Jin giggled.

“I’m good! My shoe was untied.” She explained.

“Uh huh, sure.” Yoongi kneeled and tied her shoe for her.

The group dancing progressed, getting filmed numerous times to make to make sure things were top notch.

Once J-Hope’s verse came on yet again after the dance break was over, the members ran away. Jennie ran with Jungkook and they caught one of the cameras filming them behind the scenes. They goofed around, dancing and lip syncing J-Hope’s rap.

While Jennie’s personal stylist retouched her makeup, wiping the sweat off her, she watched the film of the choreography to analyze her movements. 

“Munchkin, make sure your arms are strong,” Hobi advised as he watched the film with her. “You put them down a bit early. Remember, it’s like this.” He demonstrated.

She nodded and made a mental note. “Okay. I got you.”

For the next concept, the members switched to their individual occupations. Jennie changed into an orange and pink tennis dress with safety shorts, matching wristbands, a headband and Nike sneakers. Straightened with curls at the end, her hair was in a ponytail, with her hair resting on her shoulders.

“Channeling my inner Venus and Serena Williams, today. I’m a tennis player for this. Pretty Dope, don’t you think?” She beamed at the camera while being fanned by one of her stylists. “Thank you for the fanning, it’s so hot in here from all that dancing.”

Finding Jungkook, she hit his back with her tennis racket, to get his attention. Playfully looking serious, he reached into his pocket and took out his handcuffs, turning around.

“Miss, you’re under arrest.” He grabbed her wrist, placing her hands behind her back.

“For what?” She exclaimed

“Hitting a cop and first degree beauty. You have the right to remain silent.” He placed the handcuffs on one of her wrists.

“You’re such an idiot, get away!” She tried to playfully fight him off but to no avail.

With another camera filming them, Jennie showed off the handcuffs behind her back. “So, I got arrested today by Officer Jeon Jungkook. He didn’t even give me a warning.”

“First of all, she hit me with her tennis racket. How disrespectful was that?”

“I was playing around! What is my bail?”

“Your bail is to buy me lamb skewers.” He answered with a mischievous grin. She answered by playfully rolling her eyes.

After their banter, Jennie showed off her small spot which had a tennis court, behind the scenes. It looked like an area of a tennis tournament.

“So here we are. Jennie Williams, the Williams Sisters’ cousin, here representing them as a tennis player. There are supposed to be tennis balls falling from the ceiling in this take. Surely, it’ll go well. One take filming is harder than I thought, yo. All this running, making sure you’re on time with the song. It’s challenging.”

As they begin filming in their costumes, the members are constantly running around to their spots and waiting while they continue to film their individual scenes.

Jennie was right after Rap Monster’s verse, as she waited by her area with the tennis court. She started sniffing, feeling like she had to sneeze but the sneeze wouldn’t come out. And ironically, just as the camera shifted to her to start her verse, she paused.

“AEH-CHOO!” She covered her mouth, while the director yelled cut. The members started laughing at how loud her sneeze was. “My bad, y’all.”

“This is exactly why I was destined to be your friend. We both have loud sneezes. So cute!” Tae giggled, hugging her from behind

“Ew, no, my sneezes are horrible.” She laughed, receiving a tissue from one of the stylists.

After cleaning her nose, they redo their one take filming. Once Rap Monster finished his verse, the camera moved up to Jennie who had her tennis racket over her shoulder. Twirling around, as the skirt of her dress flowed, she hit two incoming tennis balls.

“I’m sick, I’m sick, earning every day.” She lip synced into the camera, ruffling her ponytail. “I’m lit, I’m lit, shuttin’ every mouth.” She placed a finger to her lips, looking around, while tennis balls started falling from the ceiling, behind her.

“Indomitable, I’m still gettin’ better. You say I’m a little complicated but I’m a go getter.” She patted her chest, looking up and down at the camera. “Ain’t nobody do it like me. When I strum, you can’t keep up. Fellas, scream louder, let it ring.” She put a hand to her ear. 

“The haters gettin’ nervous, they should take a seat. You’re in our domain now, Bangtan still gonna do our thing. Let’s go!” She hit another tennis ball, straight into the camera as it transitioned to V.

Quickly running to her spot for the group dance, she exhaled, bouncing up and down, excitedly. Her favorite part of the dance was when they kicked, leaned forward and bounced their head from side to side. ARMY will definitely notice that she gets a little extra with the dance move.

For their final scene, after 6AM, the members perform the choreography one last time.

“Okay, cut!” The director announced. 

The members applauded and cheered, that they could finally go home. They were exhausted. But their hard work had paid off.

“WOO!” Jennie shouted.

“Ahhh we’re going home!” Yoongi yelled, shaking one of the cameras filming behind the scenes.

For the jacket shooting, she took photos of herself tossing a tennis ball up in the air, while the photographer took a shot of the ball in mid-air, with a big smile on her face.

As she continued to take photos, she gave off a competitive, fierce vibe. As the photo shoot progressed, with her tennis racket, she placed an arm over her head and held the top of the tennis racket while her other hand touched the bottom. Then posed with the racket over her shoulder.

--------

For Show Champion, they were outside this time. Jennie got permission to wear attire different than what she usually wore and wanted to wear something supporting Black Lives Matter.

Her hair out in curls, she wore a black shirt, knotted in the front that said, Black Lives Matter. With black jeans that had a flower print on one leg, she wore fishnet tights, which came up over her stomach. She also added some black fingerless gloves, black boots and a black choker.

Catching up with her parents, they informed her of what had been going on lately in America, involving the deaths of African Americans. It pained and frightened her to hear what was going on. 

When it was time to perform, Rap Monster kneeled in front of a camera on stage, winking at it.

Hm? eoseo wa bangtaneun cheoeumiji?

Getting up to the stage, Jungkook begins the song.

Ayo ladies & gentleman

junbiga dwaettdamyeon bureulge yeah!

ttan nyeoseokdeulgwaneun dareuge

nae seutaillo nae nae nae nae seutaillo eo!

Walking up to stage next, Jimin sings.

bamsae ilhaettji everyday

All the members ran up to the stage, meeting up with Jimin and began to dance as fireworks from both sides of the stage, blasted out.

As the members dropped low, Rap Monster stood up to rap.

Standing back to back with Rapmon, they turned around so she could be in the front and she twirled.

“I’m sick, I’m sick, earning every day.” She sang. 

Dropping down into a split, which was one of the fans' favorite parts of the Dope performance, she flipped her hair on one side, then the other. 

When she went down, the members kneeled too, dancing behind her.

“I’m lit, I’m lit, shuttin’ every mouth. Indomitable, I’m still gettin’ better.” She closed her legs and got up, catching one of the moving cameras and maintaining eye contact with it. “You say I’m a little complicated but I’m a go getter.” She patted her chest. “Ain’t nobody do it like me. When I strum, you can’t keep up. Fellas.” She gestured behind her. The members gathered around her, appearing enthusiastic, while she shot a smile. “Scream louder, let it ring!”

Looking around, she pretended to look worried as she sang like she was talking to the members. “The haters gettin’ nervous, they should take a seat.”

The members nodded in agreement and continued to have fun on the stage. Turning back to face the cameras and crowd, she continued, “You’re in our domain now, Bangtan still gonna do our thing. Let’s go!” She jumped up, highly.

Jennie was in her room, checking out her phone. She smiled at the positive feedback on her performance for Dope. Seemed like her split stunned viewers. She was touched. When their choreographer told Jennie about the split, she was skeptical at first. But Jimin and Jin had helped her gain more flexibility for a few months now and it worked in her favor. 

Jennie had been trying to stay in touch with what was going on in America, and what recently happened was the sudden death of Sandra Bland, which caused her to become saddened. Horrible death it was, as she read the full details.

She worried about how bad it was getting in America with the police brutality. She would worry a bunch for her family and called her mom, to vent to her about it.

“So, are you gonna be next? Are you going to get killed next? Am I going to be killed next?” She exclaimed, as her throat tightened, tears threatening to fall.

“Jennie, breathe.” Her mom told her.

“What about dad? What happens then? What if he gets pulled over for something ridiculous and arrested for it? What the hell is going on? It’s getting worse, things aren’t getting better. This is shady as hell, what have we done to deserve this?”

“Jennie. Your father and I are fine. Your sisters are fine, we’re safe. I know this is scary and heartbreaking.” Her mom decided to give the phone to her husband so he could try to calm her down. 

Which seemed to work because Jen’s dad always knew the right things to say.

“Dad.”

“Yes, sweetheart?”

“Please...just be safe.”

“I will.”

“I love you.”

“And I love you.”

After getting off the phone with her parents, Jennie saw that Angelina was tweeting various tweets about the situation, expressing her anger and frustration over the alleged suicide. As well as the trending tweets about the Sandra Bland death.

Deciding to post a photo she took the day she wore her black lives matter outfit. It had her posing with her fist up in a black power salute, tweeting and posting on Instagram with the caption

‘Stay woke...Black Lives Matter #SayHerName #JEN’

Angelina instantly retweeted her photo, ‘Right on, girl #SayHerName’

On one side, the majority praised Jennie for her photo but on the other side, there were some people, mainly antis, criticizing her for the photo, thinking it was too political and she shouldn’t post things like that on BTS’ Twitter.

‘She shouldn’t have worn stuff like that while performing’

‘Why is she doing this?’

‘She’s all the way in SK, but still woke. Love her’

‘Too political, she shouldn’t post things like this’

‘Shouldn’t you be practicing dancing instead of posting these photos?’

‘She WOKE. Why do you dare question her?’

Jennie ignored any ignorant comments on her feed and focused on the positive. Those protesting what she strongly believed in, she didn’t care what they thought. They can stay mad, but she won’t stay silent about this serious situation. She was proud of her heritage and won’t fear speaking up about it.

And she was not going to apologize for posting the photo.

She was just extremely worried about her family and friends back home.

Because despite the brutality that’s going on in the news, you never know when it’s going to be someone that you know. And she had hoped that this would stop because innocent lives were being taken away.

------

In Melbourne, BTS sat through another interview, promoting the Red Bullet tour. Each member was exhausted and didn’t get much sleep that day. Jennie sat behind Jin, while they were being interviewed. She remained silent for most of the interview, watching the others answer questions. She had her days where she missed that normality of life. Being a simple teen. Not having cameras in your face all the time.

“What was your first impression when you all first met each other?” The question was asked by an interviewer.

“When I first saw V and J-Hope, I couldn’t see them because they were too black. When the nights get dark, I couldn’t find them.” Namjoon answered

J-Hope had fake laughed, trying to brush it off, while Tae smiled from embarrassment. The rest of the members shifted uncomfortably after some laughter from the audience. 

Jen’s stomach dropped from his sudden comment as she slowly turned her head to stare at her leader in disbelief. Raising her eyebrows in surprise, her facial expression turned solemn.

Too...black...?

Glancing at him up and down, she tried to keep her thoughts in check and continued to stay professional. 

But her words slipped out.

“Excuse me?”

Namjoon’s expression showed regret at his poor choice of words as he glanced at her and turned back to the interviewer.

Jen started smiling bitterly before staring at the floor to space out. She started bouncing her leg up and down at a rapid pace as she felt herself becoming irritated.

Why too black?

Of all things to say.

What’s that even supposed to mean?

Throughout the rest of the interview, Jen sat there, with her eyes watery. She wasn’t sad. She was getting mad and had a habit of tearing up when angry. Overall she was worried and frustrated about the fans seeing this and how they would feel about their colored skin because of his unexpected answer.

As soon as the interview was over, she was the first to get up from her seat, storming off. She went into their dressing room, exhaling sharply as she paced back and forth, trying to calm herself down.

‘Too black? Are you out of your mind!?’ She screamed in her head.

How could he say that?

Why would he say that?

“Ennie.” Taehyung’s voice was heard. He smiled softly and walked into the room. “Are you all right?” He placed his hands on her shoulders to stop her from pacing.

“Never mind me, are you okay?” She asked him.

“I’m fine.” He shrugged.

“Are you really? Because you always keep making me sad, Tae.”

“Why?”

“Like you apologizing for your tanned skin. Especially whenever we’re somewhere where there’s a lot of sun. But you don’t need to do that. There’s nothing wrong with that. And I wish that all of you guys would see that just because you’re a little tanned or colored, doesn’t mean that anything is wrong with you. And Namjoon’s comment just...made me very upset.”

Namjoon walked into the room, relieved that he found her. “There you are. Why did you storm off like that?“

Once she heard his voice, she frowned. “You got a lot of nerve.” She retorted, causing them to widen their eyes. “Too black, huh? Then what am I?”

“J-Jennie, it’s okay.” Taehyung nervously laughed and tried to make a joke to lighten up the mood.

“Nah, nah, Tae it’s not okay. Stop making it seem like this is okay. I want to talk about this. I see it everywhere and I just want to talk to you personally about this, Namjoon. Because I have a problem with what you said a few moments ago.”

Before Namjoon could speak, she stopped him. 

“No, you said enough. Please, just let me speak.” She asserted, as he exhaled and waited for her statement.

“You know I lost count of how many photos have been whitewashed of me since I got here. But it hasn’t just happened in South Korea. It’s happened at home, too. A lot of times. With Amity. Angelina and I, we're the darkest members of the group. Angelina is darker than me. During our debut and months after, she would cry herself to sleep almost every night because she was constantly criticized for her dark skin. She and I were always getting our makeup retouched every 15 minutes for a music video or photo shoot because people wanted us to look lighter. They even made our skin lighter in our photos.”

“But Angelina, she had it way worse than me. It was like every five minutes they wanted to put more powder on her face. And no matter how much she tried to hide her annoyance and claim she was fine, she wasn’t fine. And as the months went by, she learned to embrace and love herself. And I wanted to be just as confident as her. Understand that no one should berate someone’s skin color or make it seem like one shade is superior to others. I don’t want any ARMY or anyone, in general, to deal with that. And what you said, just brought all those thoughts back.”

“Jennie, it was just a joke.”

“Well, I’m not laughing.” She firmly responded. “Do you see any sign of amusement on my face?”

Namjoon let out a sigh and shook his head.

“You don’t get it, do you? The stuff people go through because of their skin color? I may not have it as hard as others but it still hurts dealing with things like whitewashing and constant comments about how unattractive my skin is. You know some people bleach their skin or want to bleach their skin because of even worse comments? Some people even use skin lightening products regularly. It pains me to see that.”

“When you say things like that, it can cause some to hate their skin. They possibly want to bleach it, wish to be lighter, or feel bad about their color. I’ve seen and heard all these things about people feeling anxious about their skin. They’re called horrible names, like burnt toast or that we don’t need to be in the sun. Because they feel as though their skin isn’t attractive. Like there’s something wrong with them. Like they have something to be ashamed of because their skin is colored. Scared of what people may think of them when their skin is just a little tan from the sun. Society claims that you need to have a certain skin tone to be called attractive. But it’s all bullshit because there isn’t just one shade that’s beautiful. It’s all shades.”

“I wanna know what was going through your head when you said that comment. I’m the darkest member here. I can’t relate to you guys. I’m not Korean. I’m not a guy. I’m me. Proud of my melanin, like to show it off, like to not be whitewashed and enjoy seeing fans look overjoyed to see someone who looks similar to them in K-Pop. Whether it’s my hair, my body size, or my personality. When you said that comment, I really thought you would know better. With that high IQ of yours, I’m astonished that you would even think of something like that. Yet alone say it in English with no hesitation.” She felt her tears of frustration coming as her eyes began to burn. “High IQ and you don’t see anything wrong with what you just said? How hurtful that was?”

“There is no such a thing as being too black, " she firmly said. "It’s okay to have melanin! Colored skin is beautiful! There is nothing to be ashamed of for it. I don’t appreciate what you said back there. We should be proud of who we are, no matter our skin color or body size. But things like this make it harder for people to accept who they are. People are more sensitive than others. And I don’t want that for anyone. No one should feel like that.”

“I understand.” Namjoon nodded. “I should’ve been more mindful. I’m sorry, Jennie. I should have considered your feelings. Everyone’s feelings. Please forgive me.”

“Don’t apologize to me. Apologize to Taehyung and Hobi. And then apologize to ARMY.” She requested and left the room.

In the hotel room, Jen ironically shared the room with Namjoon. But she was nowhere to be found, all night. Namjoon chilled on the bed, thinking about what she had said. 

He did what she told him. Talked with Hobi and Tae, and then issued a tweet about the comment, apologizing if he had hurt anyone’s feelings.

‘She’s still mad at me?’ He sighed.

Meanwhile, Jennie walked back to the hotel with a box of pizza in her hands. She wanted to shop for some souvenirs to send to her family and wanted to get something to eat for her and Namjoon.

On her secret Tumblr, she was fully aware of ARMY’s various reactions towards what Namjoon had said. Someone even decided to make a video with the screen going grey. The audio would say, “At this moment Rap Monster knew...he fucked up.” and then it went to where she said, “Excuse me?”

It amazed her that people were so quick to make memes and vines.

Taking her key out, she opened up the door, walking in with a smile. “Hey! I got pizza. Don’t tell the guys, this is just going to be ours. If they make surprise visits, we’ll hide it.”

“H-hey. Thanks. I was just about to order room service.” He sat up on the bed.

“Glad I came just in time.” She placed the box on the bed.

Namjoon watched her get situated as she went to the bathroom to change into her pajamas. She looked fine but he still felt like he needed to say something.

“Before we eat...can we discuss what happened earlier today?”

“Yeah, shoot.” She took a seat on the bed.

He exhaled. “I never meant to hurt you. It was...a poor choice of words.” He responded with regret. “What you told me opened up my eyes to learn that I was in the wrong. I didn’t mean to offend anyone.”

“It’s okay. Really. It’s okay.” She responded softly and sat next to him, hugging him. “You’re human. I get that. Let’s just be mindful of saying certain things. We all make mistakes, we all say things that are out of line. But in life, we learn, grow, and change.”

“You’re right.” He smiled and took a slice of pizza from the box. 

She rested her head on his shoulder as they watched what was on the hotel TV. With the slice in his hands, Namjoon let her take a big bite and then he took a bite afterward. 

“Look at the bright side, at least Jimin still has no jams.” she giggled.

“I heard that!” Jimin shouted from the door, ceasing their laughter. “I saw you brought pizza, I want a slice! Open the door before I tell the others!”

The sound of Jimin’s voice caused NamJen to scramble off the bed and find a hiding place for the pizza.

----

The next day, BTS attended SBS PopAsia TV for an interview. A small audience attended, as they were asked fun questions, such as picking an Australian animal that best represented them and impersonating each other. Jungkook mimicked the way Suga would dance in Bulletproof PT 2, Jimin impersonated the way Jin eats and V went on about how Rapmon acts in the intro of Dope.

“This is Jimin, the majority of the time and in the Dope music video.” Jen dramatically performed the way he ran his hands through his hair, as everyone laughed

“All right, can each of you show us a hidden talent?” Andy requested.

J-Hope started first, and decided to show a hidden action performance, like Mission Impossible, causing everyone to laugh and applaud. Jungkook impersonated Iron Man, V showed off the elephant on his arm, and Suga told everyone that he didn’t have anything hidden because he showed everyone everything. 

Rapmon impersonated Marge from The Simpsons. “Andy, I wanted to take a selfie with a Kangaroo but were no kangaroos in the room. Do you know how Kangaroos sound like? Sounds like Kang, kang kang!” He impersonated to loud cheers.

“D’OH!” Jungkook yelled out of nowhere.

“Everybody, Marge and Homer.” Andy gestured to them, to another round of applause. “Miss Bangtan, what about you?”

“Um...I showed you the guitar and DJ skills. Um...oh, wait, I have another. It’s kind of goofy. I never told anyone this before but I have a secret talent in juggling.” She revealed. 

“Wow, juggling?”

“Uh huh. I believe I got it from my mom because she’s always juggling eggs in the kitchen and I get so scared she’s going to drop them. I love my eggs in the morning.” She laughed. “She taught me at a young age. I thought it was fun. Whenever I’m bored I would juggle.”

“Can we see a demonstration?”

“Yep. I came prepared. These are tennis balls that I signed, I’m planning on throwing them out to the crowd at the end of the show. So I can juggle these before I give them away. And fair warning, I’m a bit rusty. I haven’t juggled in a few years.” She took out a bag of tennis balls.

Standing up, she started with three and began juggling. Concentration was on her facial features as she effortlessly tossed the balls up in the air in a circular motion.

“Toss me another.” She requested.

“At any time?” Andy grabbed a ball out of the bag

“Yep. Anytime you’re ready.” She responded. 

Seconds later, he tossed the ball and she easily caught it to juggle the four of them. ARMY looked on, impressed as they cheered.

“Can you go faster?”

“I’ll try.” She increased her speed as she watched the balls.

“Can you take one more?”

"Do it! And don’t let your dreams be dreams!” She happily accepted the challenge.

“Do you think she can do it?” Andy turned to the crowd who cheered in response. Tossing Miss Bangtan another ball, she continued to juggle all five. “Wow!”

Ceasing her juggling by catching the last ball in the air, she smiled and bowed at the applause. Sitting back down, she put the balls back in the bag.

“I can beat that,” Jungkook murmured.

“Oh, you can? Do it.” She responded in Korean.

“What’s going on?” Andy asked.

Namjoon chuckled and translated. “Jungkook is trash talking. He said he can beat that.”

“Ooooohhhhhh.” The crowd looked on.

“Well let’s see the Golden Maknae try.” Andy requested. 

Jungkook managed to get up to four balls but when Andy tossed a fifth, he couldn’t get in time. Jungkook was low key frustrated that he couldn’t one-up her as his competitive side came out.

“Can’t win everything, Jungkook. Good effort though!” Jennie teased him. 

The Golden Maknae shot her a playful glare in response. For the rest of the day, he couldn’t get the thought of losing to her juggling, out of his mind.

“All right, who is your current celebrity crush?” Andy asked

“Oooohhhhh!” The crowd responded.

“Andy,” Yoongi said, shaking his hand.

“Anyone else?” Andy asked.

“Rap Monster,” Jin said, giving him a bro hug to loud cheers.

“Nice. Anyone at the back? What about our Miss Bangtan? Any celeb charm you?”

“Shawn Mendes.” She revealed to loud cheers. “I admire him. I love the way he plays the guitar, his music is dope. It would be so cool to perform with him one day. Even meet him. I’m hoping to cover one of his songs, soon. I’ll perform it on a V-Live. I hope you all check it out when I’m able to have the time. It’ll be fun!”

“You heard it here, keep a lookout for a V-Live of Jennie covering a Shawn Mendes song!” Andy shouted out. “What about the others in the back?”

“J-Hope,” Jimin answered, playfully smacking him on the arm.

“There’s a Hollywood actor. Tom Cruise.” J-Hope responded

“He doesn’t even know who he likes.” Yoongi pointed to Jungkook, who smiled shyly.

“Oh yes, he does.” Jimin teased the Golden Maknae, who earned a glare in response from him. 

The translator revealed that Jungkook couldn’t remember the actress he liked and went with Hugh Jackman and Iron Man.

As the interview went on, the members tasted Vegemite, which Jennie and most of the members thought was not the best tasting thing in the world. Jin requested to go against Andy in Rock, paper, scissors, to taste Vegemite. They stood back to back, Jin raising a rock up in the air, while Andy put out scissors. Jungkook mischievously changed Andy’s scissors into paper so Jin could lose, while everyone laughed.

“Oh man, sorry Jin.” Jennie giggled

After the show, the members sat with Andy for a fan chat. “First question, what is the most precious to you?”

“BTS and ARMY,” J-Hope responded.

“Family.” V dramatically answered.

“My turn.” Jin grabbed the mic from him. “Money.” He answered, getting chuckles in acknowledgment.

“Food,” Jennie responded bluntly with no hesitation while the guys cackled.

“Question number two. What’s the most memorable moment during your trainee days?” Andy asked.

Jennie took the mic. “Although I wasn’t there the entire time like the rest were for our trainee days, I would have to say that the most memorable moment was hanging with V because whenever we could, he would show me a lot of places around South Korea, various hangout spots and restaurants so I could immerse myself more in their culture. It was a blast.”

V’s eyes lit up at the mention of her saying that. It made him feel cherished that she named hanging out with him her most memorable moment of their trainee days. A boxy grin came across his face, returning the smile that she was giving him.

“When we took the vocal test, I sang out of tune,” Jungkook responded. “I’m still very embarrassed about that.”

“Good chat.” Andy quickly responded, to laughter as he went to the next question. “How do BTS members spend their free time among yourselves? And how do you have fun with each other?” 

“We have mad schedule, so we just sleep and eat many food. Eat food. And just sleep. Yes, all member.” Jin responded in English.

“Jin, I love your English,” Jennie praised. “Very well done.”

“Thank you, thank you. I know.” He responded confidently.

“No, no, no!” Jimin and J-Hope protest and they’re handed the mic. “We game, game, game!”

“Y’all a mess.” She laughed as she watched them pretend to shoot around.

“Seems to be a very common trait. Everyone seems very tired and needs to sleep. Who do BTS think is the funniest one? And who do you think is the bossiest one?” Andy asked.

V started to act randomly and talked gibberish while Rap Monster explained that he didn’t get that much sleep and seemed to speak all in gibberish. Jin asked Rapmon if he could hit V and got permission to do so. Finally answering, the members thought that J-Hope was the funniest and Rapmon was the bossiest.

“Next question, what is BTS’ ideal girl.”

Yoongi said, “City girl.”

“Me too!” V added.

“Pretty girl,” Jin responded

“Sexy girl,” Rapmon spoke.

“Nice girl,” Jungkook responded.

“I think I know a nice girl around,” Jimin whispered to Jungkook in a teasing manner, causing the Golden Makane to tell him to knock it off. 

“Cute girl,” Jimin responded on the mic.

“Oh! Smart girl.” J-Hope happily answered.

“Jennie, what is your ideal boy?” Andy handed her the mic.

“Nice boy.” She responded, nodding in approval.

“Ah, did you hear that, Jungkookie?” Jimin whispered and nudged him on the arm. Jungkook smacked him on the arm so he could be quiet.

After Andy ranked who the most handsome member was, he asked J-Hope about his experience holding a snake. “If you were stranded on a desert island, what would you take with you?”

“Helicopter,” Jin answered.

“I’d take J-Hope. He talks 24 hours a day, I won’t be bored.” Rapmon answered

“Water,” Jungkook answered.

“I would take a camel,” J-Hope responded.

“I’d take my guitar. Something to occupy me with.” Jennie said.

“Car,” V answered.

“But you’re in a desert,” Andy stated

“Sports car.” V grinned.

“911,” Yoongi answered.

“One more question. What does BTS think of Australian fans?” Andy asked.

“Yesterday we had our concert in Sydney. The fans were very passionate and they sang along. If we have the chance we would like to visit Australia again.” Yoongi replied.

--------

The next morning, Jennie was so excited to go back to America. The members knew how much it meant to her to be able to have BTS concerts in her country. 

Just before boarding the plane, she took a selfie and tweeted, ‘US ARMY...your Bangtan Girl is coming home. It’s LIT! Let’s show the boys how we get down in the USA! #JEN’

Arriving at the JFK airport, Jennie couldn’t hide her excitement as she was the first member to get off the plane. “I’M BACK!” She shouted, causing some passengers to glance at her and chuckle.

“I told you we shouldn’t have let her eat all those smarties.” Yoongi sighed and walked past her, while the other members chuckled at her anticipation.

Hopefully, this time while she’s back in America, it’ll be a more pleasant trip instead of what happened with the Sasaengs. 

At the baggage claim area, the members grabbed their bags from the baggage carousel and went on with the security guards and managers. But of course, yet again, Jen’s bag had yet to appear.

“I swear this is a trend. This always happens when I'm excited about something. My bags always go missing," She shook her head.

“I’ll stay with her. We’ll meet at the van.” Diana notified Sejin, watching him go along with the members.

The two heard the loud screams and cheers from ARMY who waited for the members to arrive.

“You know, I always wonder about the people that board the plane with BTS, think when they see all these screaming fans, in packs, waiting for them. I’d be like, what the hell?” Diana laughed with Miss Bangtan.

“It’s still taking me a while to get used to, that’s for sure.”

“Let’s hope for a successful Red Bullet tour here.” Diana smiled and grabbed Jennie’s bag for her.

They proceeded to walk, to where the crowd was. The screams were getting louder and fans finally spotted Jennie, as she watched them go crazy. ARMY at the airport quickly started tweeting updates on what was going on

‘Jennie has been spotted! Maybe she was waiting for her bag?’

‘She’s here! Finally! Queen has arrived to slay my existence’

‘Munchkin is safe and sound! All smiles, she’s so pretty in person, I cannot!’

Miss Bangtan waved eagerly at the fans. Proceeding to walk, she felt a tap on her shoulder. 

Confused, she turned around, meeting a pair of familiar hazel eyes and a friendly grin.

“What up, stranger. It’s been a while.”

The caramel skin, the fresh cut, it was definitely Kevin, an old friend from American Hustle Life.

“Oh mah God!” She yelled, wrapping her arms around his neck, and embracing him tightly.

This unmistakably caught the attention of everyone. Fans continued screaming and proceeded to take videos and photos, occasionally yelling out her name and other fan shouts.

ARMY continued their tweets:

‘Some guy just approached Jennie. I think she knows him, she’s freaking out in a good way.’

‘OMG she’s so happy to see this guy. Is this her boyfriend??’

‘I think Jennie got herself a man! He’s hot FYI, I’m jealous!’

‘Wait, I think that’s Kevin from AHL! OMG, they still keep in touch!?’

‘OMGGGG Kevin got hotter from AHL. I’m not surprised they’re still in touch’

‘They’re still friends!? The ship is sailing!’

Once Jennie had hugged him, Kevin let out a deep laugh, wrapping his arms around her, taking a few steps forward, side to side, as he stumbled from her sudden hug. She was overwhelmed with joy that he was here.

“The heck are you doing here!?” She pulled away with a big smile, covering her mouth.

“Hahah, I’m waiting for my flight to Chicago with my friends. We went to New York for a concert because one of my friends lives here. And great news, I’ll be at the Chicago Red Bullet concert. I'm looking forward to seeing you there. I got some friends that are big fans of BTS.”

“Yo, we gotta hang, we have a lot to talk about.”

“’ight, bet. I got a lot of stuff to tell you, too. Nice to have you back home, again. Oh, here. Since I found out you would be landing here, I wanted to give you this as a welcome home and I missed you gift.” He handed her a dozen wrapped yellow roses

“Ahahahah, you so corny with this. This is too sweet of you. Thank you!” She happily accepted them.

ARMY added more tweets as they continued to watch them

‘RED ALERT! I think Jennie has a boyfriend! Black love! GOALS!’

‘AHHHHH they’re so cute!’

‘He gave her flowers! Jennie is dating!’

‘Stop starting rumors, they’re probably just friends! It’s been over a year since they’ve seen each other’

‘Kevin from AHL came to see Jennie! So sweet! Can my future boyfriend/best guy friend do this for me?’

‘Kevin brought her flowers, y’all! My heart!’

‘They mad cute tho if they’re actually dating’

‘Wait, R they dating?’

‘Look at how she’s looking at him! They’re dating!!

‘Guys they’re just friends! They’ve been friends since American Hustle life’

‘Then why would he give her flowers?’

‘BREH Yellow roses mean friendship! They’re great friends!'

‘I still ship them! I don’t care!’

‘FRIENDSHIP GOALS’

‘As long as she isn’t dating any of the BTS members, I’m happy. I would rather see her with Kevin instead’

‘Don’t start these dating rumors, no one is dating!’

“Y’all about to get dating rumors because of this, FYI.” Diana shook her head, amused at the sight.

“As if I’d date this nerd.” Jennie joked.

“Yeah, sorry, smartie addicts aren’t my type.” He played along

“Boy!” She smacked him as he laughed.

“Oh, there’s smarties in the flowers, too.”

“For real?” She looked deep into the flowers and saw them. “Come through! Thank you, this is so nice of you. I ran out of smarties on the plane.”

“I’m not surprised. I won’t keep you long, your fans are eager to see you. I gotta go to where my plane is boarding so I can get my window seat. I’ll see you in Chicago. Tell the guys I said what’s up.” He flashed her another smile and left

After receiving some gifts from fans, Jennie and Diana walked to the van, while the eager fans followed them, videotaping and taking photos. Jen took a seat next to Taehyung, setting the yellow roses on her lap as a bright smile was still on her face. She was happy to be home and happy to see so many fans elated to see BTS.

“Smartie,” Yoongi called out, interrupting her thoughts. “Where’d you get the flowers?”

“Did one of our fans give them to you?” Hobi asked.

“You can say that. You know him.” She replied.

“We do? Who?” Jimin asked.

“Kevin gave them to me. He says hey. Remember him from American Hustle life?” She informed them.

“Oh yeah! Him! How is he?” Namjoon asked.

“He’s good. He’ll be at the Chicago show. So sweet of him to do this. I wasn’t expecting him to be here, today. Like, wow.”

Hearing their conversation, Jungkook poked the inside of his cheek with his tongue and glared out the window, watching the buildings go by as they made their way to the hotel.

He was upset.

Jealousy was an understatement. He was bothered by the fact that Kevin brought her flowers.

He remembered him. All too well. Who wouldn’t?

Jungkook began to feel insecure about himself and all the doubts came back to haunt him. He glanced at Jennie who was still smiling. Kevin was the one to make her smile so widely.

‘He brought her flowers. Next, he’s gonna take her out to dinner and ask her out. He’s done more than I ever have and I know her longer than him. This is pathetic...’ He thought anxiously.

The Golden Maknae started to google what yellow roses meant. The meaning behind it.

They were roses, did Kevin want a relationship with Jennie?

Did Kevin kiss her?

Is he planning to kiss her?

Is he slowly trying to lead to a relationship with her?

What did ARMY see?

Jungkook’s mind began to panic as he kept thinking about the possibilities.

Yellow roses meant friendship.

Friendship.

Good. But it still wasn’t enough because his insecurities were still there. He went on Twitter to search under Jennie’s name, wondering what ARMY had seen at the airport. As he feared, ARMY speculated that something was going on between Kevin and Jennie. It annoyed him that ARMY tweeted how cute they were together and called Kevin her boyfriend.

It seemed fishy that he so happened to be at the airport when BTS arrived. Maybe he wanted to stay friends and slowly work his way up to pursue a relationship with her. That had to be it.

He wasn’t like Kevin. Kevin had done what Jungkook wanted to do and more. The fact that he waited for Jennie at the airport and gave her flowers in public like that...

‘Why can’t I be like him?’ He thought with annoyance.

Because Kevin was everything Jungkook was not.

Was Jennie into guys like Kevin?

Does she like Kevin?

“Jungkookie!” Jimin called out his name, interrupting his negative thoughts. “I asked if you wanted to eat with me and Taehyung.”

“Yeah...” The Golden Maknae murmured.

“Good. We have a lot to discuss.” Jimin mentioned. 

He, too, was annoyed at the fact that Kevin had given Jennie flowers. Kevin was ruining his ship and Jimin refused to let that happen.

Forced To Believe Chapter 35- Morgan's Answer

Chapter Summary: Fed up, Morgan finally gives Punk an answer.

Words: 3,000+

------ 'Raw'

"Welcome to the final Raw of 2013! We are live in Richmond." Cole said as CM Punk walked out to the ring. "CM Punk has been so persistent to get a match with Morgan Lopez. I wonder if he will get a match on the final Raw of 2013."

Punk got in the ring and grabbed a mic as the crowd chanted his name. "I am fired up tonight and I am fired up to be here in Richmond, Virginia! This is the last Raw of 2013 and I am excited. 2013...saw a lot of good stuff happen to CM Punk. Saw a lot of bad stuff, happen to CM Punk too. Just like all of you, there's ups and there's downs. We go and wake up every morning with a smile on our face, don't we? Well, I mean, sometimes I don't have a smile on my face but, I started off the year as the longest reigning WWE Champion in the last 25 years. I went one on one with the Great One. Thank you."

"I went toe to toe, with The Undertaker at WrestleMania." Punk continued. "I made some friends in 2013, I lost some friends in 2013. I beat a friend with a kendo stick." he coughed twice. "Paul Heyman. But I can't honestly claim that 2013 was CM Punk's year. The goal is for you to always be bigger and better than you were the last year, I just don't know if 2013 was the year of Punk. Take a look at the landscape in the WWE and it's Universe. And there's three guys and one chick that I can honestly claim, that it was their year, and I'm talking about The Shield."

"Let's face facts ladies and gentlemen, back in 2013, The Shield has been unstoppable. Dean Ambrose, currently your United States Heavyweight Champion. Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, former tag team champions. And there's Morgan, former Diva's Champion. I want to end this year right and start the new year off on a good foot. Iron sharpens iron, I have a proposition for The Shield. So at some point tonight, when our paths cross, because I'm sure they're here-"

'Sierra'

'Hotel'

'India'

'Echo'

'Lima'

'Delta'

'Shield'

"Yes, they are," JBL said.

Punk started to grin. "That was almost too easy."

The Shield walk down the steps and through the crowd while Morgan is in front of them. She tags some hands and jumps over the barricade in her Shield attire. Dean throws his title over the barricade and jumps over it while Seth grabs his belt and looks confused. 

Morgan shrugs and holds his title when they all get in the ring. She puts Dean's belt over her shoulder and stands near the turnbuckle while the guys stand in front of Punk.

"Finish your thought Punk. Finish your thought, what were you gonna say?" Dean asked. "What's your big challenge? It better be a good one, you better give us a good reason, not to end 2013 by ending you, right now." he pointed at him

Morgan decided to mind her business and chill out. She wanted nothing to do with Punk, right now. He would cause more drama.

"Cool down. Look, the three of you can beat any one man, I think we've established that in the past 365 days," Punk said. "And I'm not taking anything from you as a unit. But when I said, Iron sharpens iron, I live to be the best and I wanna fight the best, one on one, so I wanna know who it's gonna be because out of one of you, out of the three of you, excuse me, one of you is the best."

"Oh~ you wanna do this again? You wanna do it again? Let's do it, right now and this time, I promise, I'm not leaving until I take a piece of you with me. Let's do this right now."

Punk laughed slightly. "Hang on...ha...Dean, I wasn't-I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins." 

Dean looked offended and the crowd started to cheer. 

"I've already beaten you like half a dozen times," Punk added. "And what I'm saying is, it wasn't easy, but I did it."

"You think that's funny?"

"No, I don't think it's funny­"

"You think it's funny?"

"I think it's the truth­-"

"You think I'm a joke!? You think you can talk to me like that!?" Dean got held back by Roman while Morgan looked warily at the situation.

"I don't think you're a joke, Dean Ambrose, I just think you're the weak link! And I wanna find out who the strong one of The Shield is. Everybody's talking about Roman Reigns, Roman Reigns, Roman Reigns look at me when I'm talking to you!" Punk demanded while the crowd 'Ohs' in response.

Roman was trying to calm down Dean but turned his head to Punk. 

"Is it you?" Punk wondered. "Are you number one in The Shield? Are you the man­"

"Hey!" Seth interrupted. "You wanna know who the best is?"

"Yeah," Punk replied.

"You're lookin' at him. I'll fight you, tonight. I'll fight you. Tonight, let's do it." he said as Roman gave him a look. 

Morgan looked at them and started to get upset. Punk was just playing with their heads, to try to put them against each other.

"Oh, it's you? Cause all I hear anybody talking about is Roman Reigns." Punk recalled.

Roman stepped up to Seth. "What are you talkin' about?" He asked. 

Dean kept pacing around, still annoyed at what Punk told him earlier.

"You don't think I can take him?" Seth asked.

"It ain't that, you're falling for his games right now," Roman exclaimed.

"That's not it."

"You know I'm the best."

"I can take him tonight."

"I'm the man. I'll take him."

"Let me take him, all right? No bones on you my friend. I can beat him, he calls himself the best in the world, I'm better than him." Seth said as Dean stepped up to them, scratching his head. "I want to prove it tonight." 

The crowd started to chant 'Roman Reigns' while Seth said "Listen, you'll get your time." 

Rollins turned his attention back to Punk. "Let's do this."

"Enough!" Morgan yelled and everyone turned to look at her and the crowd cheered. "What are you doing?! Don't do this!"

"What are you talkin' about?" Seth asked.

Morgan grabbed a mic from a producer and gave Dean his title. "Am I the only one with some sense here? You're falling for his games. He's getting in your head. There's no weak link in The Shield. We don't need to prove anything. Let's not get worked up on this." She tried to reason with her teammates.

"Ah...I forgot about a certain woman..." Punk spoke up as everyone turned to him. The crowd begins to chant Morgan's name. "The Outspoken Diva of The Shield...you kind of remind me of myself, setting off pipebombs and whatnot."

Morgan narrowed her eyes at Punk and turned her attention back to The Shield. "Guys, we don't need to do this. Let's not let Punk get in our heads­-"

"Morgan." Punk interrupted.

"He's doing mind games-­"

"Morgan!"

"He's not going to break us apart-­"

"Morgan, look at me when I'm talkin' to you! You and I have some unfinished business!"

She started to look annoyed and slowly turned to him. "Your persistence is annoying the crap out of me."

"Oh is it?"

"I don't want nothing to do with you­"

"You don't?"

"I don't need to prove myself to you."

"You sure about that? Don't you want revenge on me? To give me a backfire? Don't you imagine slamming me to the mat with the Morganizer? I know you do. You would enjoy that, would you?"

She glared at him. "Whatever you are going to ask me, it's a no."

The crowd started to boo at her answer while Punk began to ponder. To try to get on her good side, he decided to use his charm on her by walking up to her. He grabbed her hand and took her away from The Shield. 

"What the hell are you doin'?" Dean's possessiveness started to get the best of him. His irritation started to grow while he got held back by Roman.

"She can handle herself," Roman stated

"Morgan..." Punk decided to get on one knee and held one of her hands as she looked confused. Ambrose started mouthing off as Seth and Roman held him back. "Morgan Lopez...you're beautiful, you're hype, you're wild and I see the passion you have in the ring. Out of these men, you show the most heart and soul. The way you move, the way you take risks, it's one of the reasons you stand out from these men and all the WWE divas. Just like you showed me at TLC...Did I charm you yet?"

"No. That was corny." She replied in a blunt tone.

"Okay. You know...I think about you every night..." He grinned while her eyes widened in shock and the crowd cheered loudly in amusement.

"Uh..." She was about to take a step back but Punk had a strong grip while Dean started yelling at him.

"...I think about you in the ring with me every night." Punk continued. "You charmed now?"

"No, but you've creeped me out."

"Darn...okay, look, you are the only diva that I want to be in this ring with...so, Morgan Lopez, will you...make me the happiest man in the world and have a match with me?" he grinned and the crowd chanted 'Yes! Yes! Yes'

She sighed and ran her free hand through her hair. "What a proposal..." She muttered and looked around at the crowd and then at Punk.

Dean decided to grab her and pull her to him as Punk released her hand. 

"She's not doing it." Dean declared.

"Oh, I'm sorry, since when do you speak for her? She has a mind of her own, guy I beat twice." Punk retorted and stood up while Morgan started to look conflicted. "Come on Morgan, don't tell me you're going to say no because of Ambrose. Does the WWE Universe want Morgan and I to have a match?" 

The crowd cheered loudly in response. Morgan shook her head, saying no while Dean released her. 

"Ah...I guess the guys always want to outshine you. You always want to do their dirty work and don't want to take a risk and shine on your own. It looks like you need your team to be successful." Punk added.

The crowd 'Oohs' and Morgan started to look annoyed. Punk turned around, silently counting down to her breaking point. 

'3...2...1'

Morgan marched over to him and turned him around. "Listen Asshole!" She yelled, getting in his face. "I'm tired of you provoking me, I'm tired of you taunting me. You want a match?"

"Yeah, I do!" Punk replied.

"You want a friggin' match?! You want a match against The Outspoken diva of the WWE?!" She got held back by Dean and Seth.

"Yeah!" 

"You know what? You're on!" Morgan yelled as the crowd exploded. "I accept the damn offer! Happy now!?"

Punk grinned. "Gladly."

"She's nuts," Cole exclaimed. "Going up against CM Punk?"

"She can beat him," JBL said.

"If it means I can shut you the hell up, then I'll fight you, and I'll beat you. If you want to face me so badly, then you got it," Morgan said. "I'm done with this. But let me tell you this...you're going to regret it. Win or lose, I'm going to come at you hard, so don't go easy on me." 

"Don't worry, I'm going to teach you some manners since you can't control that mouth of yours." Punk stated as the crowd 'Oohs'

Morgan smirked and was about to lunge at him but got grabbed by Roman. 

"Uh oh!" Cole exclaimed.

"Morgan's at her breaking point." King looked on.

"Not tonight. Don't do it." Roman tried to reason as Punk laughed at her.

"Come on, Morgan. Show me what you got. Let's go." Punk provoked as she tried to break free from Roman's hold. 

Seth and Dean try to reason with her to calm her down as well.

"Let me hurt him! Let me knock him out! Just one hit, one punch! Let me go!" she yelled.

"Gentlemen and lady, please!" A voice said and Brad came out as Roman released Morgan. "As the general manager of Monday Night Raw and on behalf of The Authority, I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year! And speaking of wishing, why don't we go out in style? Tonight, Morgan, you will go one on one with Rosa Mendes. And CM Punk, you will face, Seth Rollins. So get me a referee out here because that match starts right now!"

Roman and Morgan were annoyed while Seth smirked. 

The Shield get out of the ring to watch Seth go against Punk. Punk tries to do the GTS on Seth early but he slides out of the ring and bangs on the announce table. 

"You all right dude?" Morgan asked while she walked over to him with Roman & Dean. 

"A game. A game." Roman stated as Morgan nodded.

"I got him, all right? I'll take care of business." Seth said

While Seth and Punk have a back and forth match, Morgan keeps her distance from Roman and Dean. She was still heated from Punk's remark and didn't want to lash out at anyone. 

"Hurt him, Seth. Break him," she said.

Meanwhile, Dean was biting his fingers while watching the match, still angry about Punk. Punk gets on the top rope but Morgan smirks in delight when Seth throws him off and lands outside the ring.

"CM Punk bouncing off the barricade and just like that, Rollins has taken over," Cole said. 

Roman and Dean walk over to Punk and Dean sits down near him, pretzel style.

"Oh, it hurts now, huh? Get back in the ring." Dean taunted.

"I got him, Ambrose," Seth said. 

Punk crawls back into the ring and Seth begins targeting his ribs while he yells out in pain.

"Break his back," Roman said as Seth put him in a submission with his knee on his lower back. 

Morgan looks on in delight as she watches Punk in pain. She enjoyed watching him suffer. It was music to her ears to hear him yell and scream in pain. 

Seth continues to target the ribs by standing on his back. Moments later, Punk begins to make a comeback by hitting him with headbutts but Seth throws him to the ring post. Morgan calms down and walks over to Dean and Roman. 

"Are you okay, now?" Roman asked as he and Dean looked at her.

"I'm just peachy," Morgan replied.

Punk throws Seth to the turnbuckle and goes for the running knee but Seth catches him in a powerbomb hold. He throws him to the turnbuckle and pins him.

"Here's the cover and Punk kicks out a two!" Cole exclaimed.

"Damn it!" Morgan banged on the apron. "Son of a grape!"

"Come on..." Seth grumbled. "Stay down Punk. Just stay down!"

The Philly Diva runs her hands through her hair as she watches Seth miss the blackout. Punk tries to kick him but Seth ducks and kicks him in the head to pin him for another two count. 

"Put him away. Let's go. End it!" Roman shouted. 

Seth does the GTS taunt and is to do the GTS but Punk hits him with a running knee on the ropes and clotheslines him. He rolls out of the way before Punk can do the diving elbow. Punk walks over to him but gets his head thrown onto the middle turnbuckle.

"Smart!" she complimented. 

Dean starts to get in Punk's face, but then the ref tells him to back off. Morgan holds Dean's arm and tries to calm him down and moments later, he does. Seth jumps off the top rope to give Punk a crossbody but Punk rolls them over and gives him the Anaconda Vice.

"The Anaconda Vice!" Cole exclaimed as the crowd got hyped. Dean slides into the ring while Punk releases the hold and tries to hit him. "And Ambrose, trying to get involved."

"Dean!" Morgan yelled in annoyance while Roman tried to ask him what was he thinking. 

Seth tries to hit Punk with his finisher but Punk counters and puts him in the GTS position again. Ambrose gets back on the apron to distract the ref while Seth hits Punk with the Skywalker and pins him. The ref turns around and starts to count but Punk kicked out at two. 

"As I feared." She bit her lip.

Seth turns his attention to his partners and gets annoyed. He starts yelling at them while Morgan shakes her head and facepalms. 

"He was tryna help!" Roman noted. 

Seth turns his attention back to Punk but gets thrown out of the ring and on to Morgan, Roman and Dean. Punk is about to run through the ropes but Seth hits him with a forearm. He jumps onto the ropes and is about to dive onto Punk but is caught in the GTS.

"1!"

"2!"

"3!"

"The winner of this match, CM Punk!" Justin announced. 

Morgan, Dean and Roman recover and she gets in the ring to help out Seth, while Roman gets in the ring to stare down Punk. Dean was at ringside, biting his fingers and silently seething.

"CM Punk surviving tonight," Cole said. 

Punk points at Roman and Morgan as he walks up to the stage. Roman turns his attention to Morgan and she looks at him before they both turn their attention to Punk on the stage. Morgan narrows her eyes at Punk while he does his GTS taunt. 

"Two members left. Who will face CM Punk next?" Cole wondered.

'Backstage'

Morgan was sitting on some steps, wearing a black bandana over her straightened black hair and was deep in thought when Roman arrived and sat next to her. The crowd gives them a nice reception as they sit in comfortable silence and she lets out a sigh. 

"I need to stop getting provoked by Punk all the time. You were trying to calm everyone down but he got inside my head after I tried to reason with you guys. But the only question on my mind is...What if I can't beat him?" She asked in a low voice. Roman turned his head to look at her while she looked straight ahead. "Then what? Will everyone move on and forget I exist? Will the fans forget about me trying to wrestle WWE Superstars? That's my fear when I go out there."

"I don't know about you but you would earn my respect. And I know Chyna will be proud of you too." Roman replied as she turned to look at him. "You wrestled guys in the past and you are continuing that in the WWE. Who cares if you lose? Show them you can withstand Punk's moves. Win or lose, I'll be by your side-"

"That's the problem. I don't think I can do it with you guys at ringside. There is a 90 percent chance that Dean is going to interfere-­"

"I'll try to make sure he doesn't-"

"Like that will help. I love him but he can get angry pretty quickly. I just don't want that to interfere in the match and cause a DQ." she stood up but Roman gently grabbed her wrist.

"Morgan...I'm not going to let you go through this alone. I know you want to prove yourself, and you will. Win or lose."

She sat back down and sighed. "Thank you." She laid her head on his shoulder.

"Don't thank me." He put his head on her head. "We're a team and we are going to stick by you. We all know how important this match is for you. We know it and we are going to be a ringside, cheering you on."

"You're so good to me."

He looked down at her. "You are too."

"No, I'm not..." 

"Why do you say that?"

She stood up and so did he. "Because I can never give anything back to you. All the stuff you do for me; the advice you give me...the support you give me...I don't think I can ever repay that even though I wish I could return the favor. But, maybe one day...one day I'll try to return the favor somehow."

"You don't have to repay me for anything. Just keep a cool head tonight."

"No promises."

Roman chuckled. "I'm not surprised."

"Thanks for listening to me." She fist bumped him and started walking away as the camera followed her.

"Morgan, in action, next," Cole said as they went to a commercial.

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 50- Payback

Chapter Summary: BTS film For You. Hobi and the Maknae Line prank Jen to piss her off by acting loud on purpose while she slept. Jennie gives them a taste of their own medicine by using pots and pans to wake them up. Jungkook is on edge as he anticipates Jen's move to prank him.

Words: 7,000+

Genre: Jungkook Fluff!

Author's Note: Remember Bad Girls Club? With Tanisha? I got inspiration from that for Jen's prank! Iconic.

------

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.

Forced To Believe Chapter 32- That Was A Miracle

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.
