Author's Note: I'll do my best to write Jennie and Jungkook as a nice couple for this story. :) Thanks for making it this far!

------

Warmth.

That was the first thing Jennie felt as she began to stir in her sleep. Was last night a dream or did it happen?

When she felt Jungkook’s arms wrapped around her as he was the big spoon while they lay on their sides, she knew that this was all real. She looked forward to this new relationship with him as a sense of giddiness overcame her. She couldn’t stop smiling to herself. They were really dating.

Eyes open, she glanced at the clock to see that it was about time to get ready for practice. She did not want to leave the bed. She wanted to stay like this for a few more hours. Just being in his arms was enough to make her morning better. But she knew she had to get up sooner or later and then wake him up so they could meet up with the rest of the members.

The members.

Oh boy, how will they react when they find out about them? She was sure that Jimin and Taehyung would be freaking out, cheering them on. What about Jin? And what about Big Hit in general? Oh gosh, they needed to tell Bang PD. Shaking the thoughts out of her head, she decided to just take it one thing at a time and stay optimistic about everything. 

Once she began to move, she felt the arms around her tighten and pull her back into a firm chest.

“Ten more minutes,” Jungkook murmured sleepily.

She tried to move again but a whine escaped his lips as he held her tighter. Jennie began to laugh as he clung to her.

“Ten. More. Minutes.” he gave her multiple kisses all over her face as she continued to laugh and tried to lightly push him away.

Once she turned around to face him while in his arms, her heart skipped a beat and those butterflies came back as she remembered everything that happened last night. She just felt so content to be with him. The way he gazed at her with so much love and affection made her happier. She needed to think of other words besides happy to describe what she was feeling but she couldn’t help it.

“Good morning to you, too.” she smiled after he kissed her.

“How did you sleep?”

“Great. I hope I wasn’t too heavy when I slept on top of you last night.”

Smiling, he replied, “Not at all. I would like if we could sleep like this more often.”

“I’d like that.”

After getting ready, Jennie and Jungkook walked into the dining room where it looked like everyone was just about there as Yoongi was the last one to make it to the table.

“Good morning!” Jin beamed, setting the last plate of food that he made on the table for them. “Let’s eat!”

Breakfast went on like usual but JenKook couldn’t help but notice Taehyung, Jimin, and Yoongi staring at them. Yoongi had a knowing smirk on his face whenever he glanced over at the couple while the 95 Liners had proud smiles on their faces. 

Jimin and Taehyung could not stop glancing at one another as they watched JenKook closely. The way they were seated next to each other and putting food on each other’s plates. It was getting harder not to bring up what they saw last night as they struggled to keep their mouths shut.

After everyone finished their food, Taehyung looked remarkably uncomfortable as he tried to hold in what he wanted to yell out while Jimin proceeded to bite his tongue.

“Hey, are you two all right? You look like you’re freaking out. What’s wrong?” Hobi called out the 95 Liners with concern.

“O-oh we’re fine!” Jimin giggled.

“So! How did you two sleep?” Taehyung cut right to the chase, staring at JenKook. 

He couldn’t hold it in anymore, he wanted to hear it. He wanted that confirmation. He needed that confirmation!

“Oh, I slept great.” Jennie cheerfully responded. “My flight was smooth sailing. The family says hi. Angelina also asked about you guys.”

Nodding, Taehyung turned to the Golden Maknae, “I’m glad to hear that. What about you, Jungkook?”

“Perfect,” he responded as he and Jennie glanced at each other with a smile. 

The 95 Liners began to look obvious that they were struggling to keep in some information which finally caught Jennie and Jungkook's attention.

“Hyung? You okay?” Jungkook asked.

“Yeah, are you guys all right?” Jen’s voice turned into concern.

“So!” Jimin shouted. “Anything you want to tell us?”

“Tell us?” Hobi asked, turning to JenKook.

“Just impatiently waiting for you two to just say it...” Yoongi added.

“What’s up?” Jin asked.

“Our ship sailed, that’s what’s up.” Jimin giggled again.

“I CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! GOSH DARN IT, PLEASE! TELL US! ARE YOU TWO OFFICIAL!?” Taehyung yelled, feeling a huge weight lifted off his shoulders while Jimin sighed out of relief that he took the risk to ask.

“What?” Jin looked confused

“We saw them asleep together last night! But this time it seemed different! She was on top of him sleeping!” Jimin blurted out. “They were cuddling like crazy! Please tell me that’s good news!”

Hobi let out a yell of glee and Namjoon began to smile at the information revealed. Jin, however, spit out his coffee, which unfortunately landed on Namjoon, who closed his eyes. The leader then grabbed a napkin to clean himself off, not even getting an apology from the oldest member.

“Well...” Jennie smiled, glancing at Jungkook. “I came back last night and told him exactly how I felt.”

“AND!?” the members yelled, leaning in close.

“She’s mine.” Jungkook proudly said.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!” Jimin, Hobi, and Taehyung dramatically fell on the floor while everyone else erupted into loud cheers. 

Jen and Jungkook laughed out loud while some of the members ran around the dorm, jumping around in celebration.

They yelled various things such as “FINALLY!”, “About time!”, “IT’S REAL! JENKOOK ARE REAL!” and many other bright shouts. 

Once everyone pulled themselves together, they went back to the table, happily asking the new couple questions about what happened. 

Afterward, Jin cleared his throat. "Okay, I'm very happy you two are finally together but we need to have some rules about this!"

“Jin...” Jimin whined

“Here we go...” Yoongi chuckled

Jennie gestured for Jin to talk, “It’s okay, Jungkook and I prepared for this. Tell us all the rules, Jin. We’ll make sure to follow them and be your innocent kids.”

"Yeah, innocent kids," Jungkook teased as he shared a laugh with Jennie.

"Are you two mocking me?" Jin questioned, causing them to laugh at him. "I am being serious, here! No funny business!"

"We'll be on our best behavior, Hyung,"

With that, the oldest member took out his phone and opened the notes app to reveal a long list of rules. It looked like he had created it a long time ago which amused the members. 

“Thank you for your cooperation. Let’s get started. Doors open at all times...”

---------

Once the members arrived at Big Hit, Jungkook immediately grabbed Jennie's hand to hold it, and they both smiled at each other.

Currently, with their new relationship, it felt like a burst of emotions, making them feel high and euphoric. It was exciting thus far because it was completely new to them.

The members watched with joyful smiles while they murmured to one another about how whipped Jungkook looked. As JenKook walked past staff members, greeting them respectfully, the staff immediately began to talk and giggle with one another when they saw them holding hands. Manager Sejin had recommended JenKook to see Bang PD to let him know what was going on and also commented on how excited he was that they were finally together. With butterflies in their stomachs, as they hoped that the meeting would go well, they strolled to Bang PD’s office.

When they sat at his desk, Bang PD was in a cheerful mood, happily greeting them and asking how they were doing. After their small talk, he asked them what they wanted to tell him. 

To say that they were nervous was an understatement. What if he disapproves? 

Jen heard horror stories of dating bans and how companies tend to be extremely strict with trainees and idols dating. She hoped that Big Hit wasn’t the same way.

Sensing Jen’s nervousness, Jungkook grabbed her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers.

Taking a deep breath, Jungkook spoke, “We wanted to tell you that we’re dating.”

After he said that, Bang PD stared at them carefully as the entire room remained silent. Jennie and Jungkook squeezed their hands, hoping that he’d approve.

“Since when?” he questioned, glancing at the two as the tension thickened.

“Last night.”

“Last night...” he murmured, narrowing his eyes.

After a moment, he began to laugh wholeheartedly, ending his serious act.

“I guess I owe a lot of staff members free meals.” he sighed as he began to ponder about that Korean BBQ place they wanted to eat at. 

Jungkook sighed out of relief while Jennie placed a hand over her heart.

“I-I thought I said not to scare me like that anymore back during the Rookie King filming!” Jen exclaimed

“I couldn’t resist, I had to!” Bang PD grinned.

“Did you bet on us or something?” Jungkook asked.

“I had to join in on the bet! The entire company made a bet on you kids! I assumed you two would start dating after your next comeback but everyone else predicted that you two would date before. And I was wrong. Ah, but it’s okay. It’ll be nice to have a company meal. I am so happy. I was waiting for this moment. To see you two like this. I approve of this 100%.” he chuckled softly while the couple stared at him, dumbfounded.

Just how many people have been waiting for them to get together?

“You’re not mad? You’re okay with this?” Jen asked.

“Of course, I am okay with this! Young love is a beautiful thing. What is there to be mad about? I only want the best for you, here. You kids are young and learning about life. I want you to have a nice relationship and live your life to the fullest. I would never restrict you from your dating life

and ban you from dating each other.”

Wow. This was going better than expected. 

Jennie felt a sense of joy at how supportive everyone was about this. She wasn’t expecting it as she thought on the negative side of things. Because of the stories she has heard from other companies and people dating. 

As they discussed their relationship with him, they mentioned that they wanted to keep their relationship private for the time being, to which Bang PD agreed.

“Relationships can be hard.” Bang PD advised, “Remaining a healthy, long-term couple won’t happen overnight. It takes communication, diligence, and honesty. Keep an open mind, respect each other, and live life happily. I’m glad you two were open about your feelings. If I must say, whenever I see you two together it is very obvious. Very cute, too. Sometimes I would catch you two smiling and looking at each other lovingly. It’s always an adorable sight.”

The day turned into a whole day of teasing for the couple. The staff members gushed over them and talked about how excited they were to see them together. Things were great.

After dance practice, Jen spent the rest of the day in her studio. Something about Jungkook gave her some inspiration to work on those songs that she wanted to release for her future solo album. Although she had no idea when she wanted to release it, at least she had some inspiration. She could make some love songs about him, too.

After getting the melody of the new song down, her phone rang, and her eyes lit up when she saw the Caller ID.

Angelina.

She immediately answered the call. “Angelina! What up!?” she happily greeted.

“Jen~! How was the flight?”

“It was fine! I miss you already.”

“I know, I know. We’ll see each other again very soon. Okay, okay but enough about that, I NEED to know. Did you go see him!?”

“I did!”

As if on cue, Jungkook walked into her studio and she turned around with a smile.

“And...? Oh hey, Jungkook!” Angelina noticed him in the background. He waved at her and took a seat next to Jennie. “Wait-JUNGKOOK! Oh my God, are you two...you know! SPILL!”

Jen laughed, “Yep!”

Angelina instantly fell off her bed and dropped her phone on the floor as a loud thump was heard. 

“Oh my gosh, Ang? Are you okay!?” Jen asked while Jungkook giggled at her antics.

After she pulled herself together, Angelina exclaimed, “Don’t play with me! Are you for real!?”

“Yes, we are real,” Jungkook answered in English with a big smile.

“AHHHHHHHHH~! FINALLY! ABOUT TIME! I knew you two would! Can you two kiss? Like can I see you two kiss, please? Please? To see my ship sail right in front of me on Facetime?”

Jennie giggled. “Now? Are you serious?”

“Please!”

Shrugging, Jennie leaned forward and pressed her lips against his while Angelina screamed and dropped her phone again. The kiss didn’t last long since the couple burst out in laughter due to her excessive fangirling.

After their Facetime call, Jungkook left so Jen could take care of her work. As she worked on the songs she planned to release in the years to come, she thought about the time when she first started working on music with Yoongi. 

--------

It was last year when she was in her studio. She had the opportunity to work on Autumn Leaves for The Most Beautiful Moment in Life PT.2. Yoongi had asked her to help produce a song on the upcoming album and thought Autumn Leaves would be a great song for her to work on. Once she got permission from the company and even had Slow Rabbit’s backing on it, she was excited about the new job.

“Okay...” she placed her headphones on her ears and pressed play to listen to the instrumental of Autumn Leaves.

What surprised her was that Yoongi decided to use the melody she randomly hummed for him a few months ago.

It was just a casual day at the dorm and she was doing chores that Jin had given her. Bored since she was waiting for Hobi to give back her speaker, she hummed around the dorm. One certain humming tune caught Yoongi’s attention as he watched her. He had asked her to hum that same tune and recorded her on voice memos with his phone. Jen didn’t think much of it and hummed like he asked, freely and happily. But Yoongi actually used what she hummed and created the melody for the song.

“You...are something else...” she murmured, shaking her head in disbelief. 

She loved this so much. After copying the instrumental on a new file so she could play around with it, she got right to work. As a few hours went on, she didn’t hear Yoongi walk in as she felt him tap her shoulder and take a seat next to her.

“What do you have so far?” he asked as she took off her headphones.

“Oh, it’s...not much.” she chuckled nervously, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“Why are you so nervous? You’re not this nervous about DJing.” he raised a brow and grabbed her headphones.

“I just want it to be good.”

“Smartie, we’re working together to create something great. I asked you to work with me on this for a reason. Now, what do you have so far?”

“Okay before I press play, I really love what you have. So, I played around with it on a new file and made it lighter instead of powerful. In the beginning, I thought of making it flow more and you could get this tingly sensation in your ears with the first few notes. And I started snapping to the beat so I recorded myself snapping and I thought it worked well.” she rambled on while Yoongi nodded and pressed play to listen to it.

Jen looked away, nervous about what his reaction would be. This was her first time working on a song like this for the album and she wanted it to be great.

“Smartie, you worried for nothing,” he replied and began to smile. “I like it.”

“You do?” she sighed out of relief.

“It sounds really good.”

“I’m glad. Hey, about me humming that tune that you recorded, you put it as the melody for this. Why?”

“N-no reason.” he shrugged, looking away. When he looked back, he noticed that she wasn’t going to give up on asking, so he sighed. “I just...liked your voice and you became my inspiration for it. I made the instrumental pretty quickly after hearing you hum. It’s nothing, okay? Let’s continue working.”

'Aw....' Jennie thought.

She smiled softly. “I’m glad I could be your inspiration, Yoongi.”

“Yeah, yeah...” he murmured. After a while, he asked, “But, you do like it though, right? You didn’t mind?”

“I don't mind, at all! I loved it!”

“Good.” he cleared his throat. “When we go to Slow Rabbit we can work on mixing it more.”

“Awesome.”

“I think maybe one of the vocal line’s adlibs should be at the beginning of the song.”

“I tried it but I don’t think my voice would fit for that section of the song. Maybe I could harmonize with someone?”

“I think one person should just do it.” 

She nodded and wrote down some notes on her notepad. “Okay...Oh, I also wrote a suggestion down. When we begin line distribution, I dunno I just strongly feel like Jin should sing first.”

Yoongi nodded. “Put that track on the flash drive and let’s make our way over to Slow Rabbit so he can check out our instrumentals. We have something good here.”

---------

61 trainees remained for Produce 101 as Jang Keun-suk, MC for the show, informed the girls that their next task was a position evaluation. Rap, vocal, and dance and they would perform it live and the first place winner for each group will receive an additional 100,000 votes.

After the girls chose their songs, Jang Keun-suk prepared to leave but made one more announcement, “We have a special guest today who will be watching over you as you work on your songs. Let’s bring her out.” he happily turned to the door.

Opening up the door, Jennie walked in with a bright smile. “Why hello!” she waved and bowed, which caused a lot of fangirling to occur with the trainees as they looked shooked.

“We know who she is right?”

“Yes!” the trainees happily replied with bright smiles.

(Jennie from BTS! I cannot believe she’s here! She’s like...so cool!)

(If you don’t know who Jennie is, you are living under a rock. Everyone knows her because when she came to Korea years ago, it was a big culture shock to the K-Pop industry.)

(I heard of her. Isn’t she like the only girl performing in Big Hit Entertainment? And is the only girl in BTS? I was amazed at how she adapted to everything here)

(I think it’s a bit intimidating to be in a group with all guys but she made it look so effortless)

(Jennie is someone that I have always liked watching because of how she never gave up when things were hard for her.)

(She is so lucky to be in a group with all those cute looking guys. I love her work. I study a lot from her currently)

(I LOVE her! Jennie is actually HERE! I am in the same room as THE Bangtan Girl! I almost fainted! I’m like so nervous)

Jennie bowed again, “Hello, I’m Jennie from BTS! Thanks for having me, I’m so excited to be here! From time to time, I’ll be checking in on your ladies, to see what you have so far and to help prepare you for your performances. So let’s have lots of fun and work hard, all right?”

“Yes!” the trainees responded.

Jen let the teams work for a while before she ended up approaching them team by team. 

She went to go see the team that would be performing Monster by Big Bang for vocal and she found out that Soonmin wanted to be center but Chanmi also wanted to because she wanted to redeem herself since her voice cracked. Jen advised Chanmi that there were other ways to redeem yourself besides being in the center and went on to watch them work on the song, answering any questions they had.

Now when it was time to see what they had done, Jen sat with the two other vocal coaches, Jea and Kim Sungeun, in the practice room. It felt a bit weird to be sitting with legends such as them. The fact that people are calling her a mentor, and to get a young artist’s point of view and share what she went through when training, was humbling. As she sat with them to listen to the group sing Monster, she and along with the mentors cringed because it wasn’t on key and they didn’t sound together as some even messed up. The two mentors lectured them and said it was not balanced and that they sounded old. The mentors then suggested Soomin sing the chorus and praised her, wanting the group to sing her age. 

After their evaluation, Jen went to work with them, sitting in a circle as she helped them sound more like their age.

“From what I saw back there, you aren’t performing as a unit. It’s not altogether like it should be. So, let’s work on that, shall we?” she got to work, going over the entire song with them.

When she noticed that Jinhee had struggled to pronounce monster in English, Jen helped her with the pronunciation. She even helped practice with her alone, making her repeat her parts over and over again to make sure she got it right.

Jinhee (I was a bit worried about this song. I just want to show my vocal skills because I think I am capable. Jennie has been a big help. I will work hard)

“I want to show a better stage but I’m scared that I won’t do well,” Jinhee said to her.

“I felt that way all the time. But we will get this right. You can do it. Now say it with me.” 

“I can do it!” Jinhee smiled.

With the second vocal team, they were to perform Day by Day. Juna and Yeunjung both wanted to be the center. They both sang it out and in the end, the group chose Juna as the center. Yeunjung was a bit upset about not getting the part and the members could see how down she was and wasn’t that involved. She ended up tearing up and Jennie pulled her aside to talk to her.

“I want to meet the expectations that people have of me but it seems like I won’t be able to...” Yeunjung admited.

“I get it. I do. I lost countless nights of myself crying when I first debuted in BTS.” Jennie said.

“You cried?” she sniffed

“Oh, all the time. It was pretty bad but I’m still here. And you will be too. I think we should get out of that mindset that you’ll only get noticed if you’re center. Because that is not true. So, you’re not the center of this song. Use that to your advantage. You can still stand out even if you aren’t the center. Now, perk up, you’re too pretty to be having that sad face. I want to see you smile! You are going to be OK!”

When in the practice room to hear them perform what they had, Yejin missed the beat and kept having to start over while everyone watched her.

“What is this? What’s going on?” Jea asked, unamused

“I feel like you all sound like you’re hesitating. Don’t hesitate. Be confident in your voice. If you hesitate, people will notice that when you’re on stage.” Jen added.

“Yes, I agree. This is generally a mess. And what’s bothering me the most is that the two of you are on the same team but it’s not actually a team.” Kim Sungeun said

“This is a team effort, you gotta work together. Don’t try to compete with one another, you have to listen to each other and find that right pitch to sing.” 

The two girls were told to sing again but then suddenly Juna began to cry which confused everyone. Soon after Yeunjung cried too.

“Ahhhhh what is going on?” Jen whined, feeling her heart ache at them crying.

The class was stopped so the team could pull themselves together while Jennie walked out with them.

“It’s not your mistake. It’s not your fault. We’re learning. I feel like you all need to communicate with each other and talk things through.” Jen said. “Figure out what you can do so this team can soar in the performance.”

The next group was for vocals with three ladies performing Call Me Baby. When Jen went to talk to them, she found out that Eunwoo was chosen as the center even though Yeseul wanted it too.

“Ooh, now you know I’m going to love you, ladies, because you’re performing EXO. Like that is my GROUP!” Jen happily sat with them and listened to the ideas they came up with.

And as she sat in the practice room, she gave the group words of encouragement. When they performed, Jen was not disappointed as she started dancing in her seat when they sang. The girls were told they did well which heightened the expectations for the other groups. 

Miss Bangtan went outside the room with them to practice a bit more.

“The one thing I want to work on a little bit with you is that harmony. It’s almost there,” she said and went over the lines with them. She went to Yeseul. “Sing it just a pitch higher. Call me baby eh, call me baby! Call me baby eh call me baby!” she demonstrated. 

And when she heard her sing it, she got it correctly.

“Call me baby eh,” Jen repeated and listened to them sing it at once, making her ears shiver from the harmony. “YES! That’s the sound! Oh, you ladies are going to kill it on stage. Also, make sure you finish the song off strong. Like, make it so that people want more but the song is over. So, five, six, seven, eight, I’ll be your baby yeah!” she sang with them. “Okay, again.”

“I’ll be your baby, yeah!” they sang out

“Phew...you ladies are no joke! I wish I could be there for the performance. I’ll watch the videos though. I am so proud of you all!”

Next was Me Gusta Tu’s vocal group. At first, two members, Haein and Siyeon had very strong opinions on what to do for the group, and during practice in front of everyone, it was like they were practicing by themselves and it sounded sad instead of emotion. But then Haein began crying because she thought about her team members getting eliminated and the hate comments.

Once Jea saw that even Taeha was crying, she freaked out and exclaimed that she was going to go crazy.

“Y’know I got a crap ton of hate comments when I first started. I still do now but in the past I let it get to me and it affected my practicing.” Jen brought up. “I let my life be surrounded by the hate. I stopped taking care of myself and I passed out and knocked myself out when I hit the floor during dance practice. It was because of exhaustion and I got a bad concussion. You remember, right?”

The girls nodded as they remembered all those articles about her passing out and the concussion. It scared Big Hit to death when it happened.

“It sucked but I had my loved ones be there for me to support me. They made me get it together and realize that we shouldn’t let hate mess with our heads.” Jen went on. “And you have these girls here to support and love you too. Nothing is your fault, you keep your head up high and let that hate be in one ear and out the other. Sadly, there is a lot of bitterness in this world. But you are a good person and we all can see that you are trying your best. So please, don’t cry. After this, I’ll help you.”

For the My Best group, Jen was told that none of them had heard the song before and had a difficult time with it. She had given them advice and told them stories of a bunch of Korean songs that she wasn’t aware of when she first came to Korea and learned as she went.

During the vocal class, everyone did not memorize the lyrics and was caught reading from the sheet as Jea lectured them on not even singing well.

“But to be blunt, this is a mess!” Sungeun exclaimed.

As the lesson went on, it looked like they had to change the main vocal for the sake of the team, which was what the mentors suggested.

Once Jen saw the hurt on Yeonkyung’s face when her spot was taken away, she spoke up, “Everybody wants to be center and the main vocal but you need to understand that there are times when someone else’s voice is more suited for certain parts of a song. It can be frustrating, I know. I lost countless times how disappointed I was when I wanted to sing certain lines for BTS’ songs but there was a member whose voice suited it more.” 

Jen explained, “For example, with spine breaker. I really loved J-Hope’s verse for it. And each member had to sing the song so we could figure out

which voice suited what verse. I tried the best I could for that song, but I didn’t have much rap skills back then as it wasn’t the best flow or tempo that was needed for the song. And they wanted his voice on it instead since they liked how it sounded. You remember the song right?”

All of a sudden the girls started singing the chorus, making Jen giggle.

“Yeah! And I really wanted his part. It went like this,” she began rapping his verse while the trainees watched in awe.

As soon as she was done, she continued her explanation, “Like I loved that verse, it’s my favorite verse on the song but the song sounds much better with him singing that. So, it’s okay. We gotta do what is best for the song, to make it memorable. Although it’s a rap verse and not a singing

verse, I hope that’s a good example to show you. You’re going to be just fine, so please don’t be discouraged.”

For the next group, with vocal for Zion T’s Yanghwa Bridge, it made Jennie think of Jungkook as her heart soared. But when it was time to hear them for the lesson, it sounded low and they were hesitating. Jea had called them out on it and wanted them to sing louder, asking where the confidence was. And it was kind of hard to give any feedback to Sejeong, who was ranked number one because she was lacking emotionally while her other group members sang it more nicely.

After their lesson, Jennie sat with them to help bring more emotion to their voices, telling them to think about their parents and how much they missed them while being here.

“Thinking of someone always helps. Think of how much your parents trust in you and support you in doing this,” she suggested as she worked with them diligently.

Next up was the dancing as Jennie, Bae Yoonjung, and Kahi walked into the dance practice room to look at what the girls had so far. Out of everyone, Sohye was Jennie’s favorite because she liked how she kept trying even if she wasn’t the best dancer. After a fun dance battle to lighten the mood, they got to work. Jen immediately went up to the group that was working on the Amity song, which is one of the dance choices. 

“Hello!” she waved as the three girls bowed. “What song are you ladies dancing to?”

“Amity’s That’s my girl.”

Jen let out a chuckle as it brought back memories. “Wow, my old group, huh? I’m excited to see what you have in store.”

“We’ve been working really hard. We know how much this means to you.” one of the girls said.

“You know I have a story about that song. Mind if I share it?”

“Go ahead!”

“Gosh, Hailey, my old leader was so pissed when the song became popular. It was only me, Angelina, who raps, and Layla on the track. I replaced Hailey with all her singing parts that she wanted because the producers thought my voice fit better. It’s my favorite Amity song and it

worked quite well. I’m surprised the show decided to use this. I don’t recall it being that viral. Unless they did it because they knew I’d be on the show.” she pondered.

She went on to tell the story about the song, “Each member sang the entire song by themselves and the producers chose who would fit best for the song. They then decided it would be best to use three members. Hailey would always overpower us in singing, like a lot. It was insane, especially when recording this song, so the producers wanted me to sing her part to see how it would sound. And then we switched parts because I sounded better. But Hailey was soooo mad. It was funny to see her like that. Like ha! Up yours!” she giggled with the girls.

“Ah, but as time went on she became stubborn and wouldn’t want to do things with the group until she had her way. And of course, she got her way and that’s when things went crashing down. She became a little greedy for the parts but I feel like we can’t have everything we want and we have to understand that certain parts are suited for other people instead of ourselves. We need to move past the greedy mindset when performing. So please work as a team for this. Be better than Amity’s skill in teamwork.”

“We won’t let you down!”

As she watched them perform, Jennie jammed out and looked so happy while the others looked on impressed. 

It was what Amity could have been. 

And after the performance, Jennie teared up, “That was just amazing.”

“Thank you.” the girls reply.

One trainee spoke up, “I was a bit discouraged. I am not from a big company and seeing these other girls in bigger companies made me doubt my skills.”

“I don’t care If I’m competing against someone from SM Entertainment, do not let someone from a bigger company discourage you,” Jen replied. “Don’t compare yourself to them. You gotta know in your heart that you can bring it just as hard as them. From what I saw today, you have something special. You’re very talented. All of you.”

The other trainee said, “I wanted to dance your part because I love your work. You inspire me to become better and it means the world to me that you are praising us for our efforts.”

“You ladies are going to make me cry...Thank you.” Jen blinked the tears away.

The main group that Jen focused on the most was the dance group working to perform Sunmi’s Full Moon. When watching them, everyone messed up, and Sohye especially had a lot of trouble with the work. 

Bae Yoonjung wanted to speak with Jennie and Kahi for a moment to discuss what was going on and Jen brought up that she had no problem helping them and staying up late doing so even if that meant losing sleep. Once they came back to the room, Sohye was asked why she chose dancing from the instructors and couldn’t give an answer.

“Let’s go to another dance practice room. I’ll work with you, three ladies.” Jen stood up. “I want us to make sure that we get this done and I won’t rest until we get it right. Okay? Don’t worry. Come with me.” 

Once they made it to another room, Sohye broke down in tears, surprising her.

“I-I’m sorry...” Sohye wiped her tears.

Jen’s heart ached to see her like this. She was trying her best, “Hey, don’t apologize. Be better. You got this, let’s keep going and I want you to keep your head up high.” she held her hands.

“I didn’t think I was that bad at dancing. I just..”

“Don’t let someone else’s opinion determine your self-worth. As long as you believe you’re good, that should be all that matters. Take constructive criticism and learn to improve yourself. I want you to prove everyone wrong. You can dance.”

Jennie pulled her in for a hug. “I know it’s frustrating. It can be when you think you’re not able to get it like everyone else does. You are trying your best. Let’s try even harder. I see improvement.” she pulled away and wiped her tears. “Let’s get to work.”

After stretching, Jen practiced with the girls.

“Noooooo, you almost had it!” she dramatically said when Sohye missed the cue. “Okay, lemme show you again.”

Sohye (I’m very thankful for Jennie and her kindness. I’m thankful she didn’t give up on me and told me to try and try again.)

After practicing, Jen began to work on giving off that sexy persona for the song with Pinky helping Sohye as well.

“Y’know, I am not a fan of cute concepts and I always have to fake it until I make it with sexy concepts. It’s all about acting. And also if you mess up just keep going.”

“I remember watching you perform War of Hormone and how you danced with Jungkook. Were you nervous?” Pinky asked.

“Oh gosh...” Jen let out a nervous laugh and felt her face warm up at the thought of dancing with Jungkook for the song. “So nervous. He helped me out a lot.”

“You looked so pretty wearing that outfit in the music video.”

“Aw, thanks!”

After helping them, Jennie gave them high fives and expressed how proud she was of them. 

After filming, although Jennie really wanted to go see the girls perform, she was at dance practice with BTS in one of Big Hit’s practice rooms. But the show Produce 101 had begun to film all the girls making their way to the Big Hit Entertainment building as they talked about surprising Jennie to thank her for helping them.

Miss Bangtan was currently on a break in the practice room while Namjoon walked in with a smile.

“Jennie you have some visitors.”

"Visitors? Who?” she turned around to see the trainees and some camera crew walk in. She covered her mouth and laughed while the trainees greeted everyone with bright smiles, “Oh my gosh. Wow! Hi!"

She was handed flowers, smarties, and a huge card signed by all of them as they thanked her for helping them and being so kind.

“Wow, you ladies are truly amazing. Thank you so much for this. Oh, snap, you got me smarties too!? This is great!” she said excitedly, making them giggle.

She took a group photo with the girls and tweeted, ‘I see bright futures in each and every one of you. Thanks for having me! I’m so proud! #Jen’

When the episode aired, Netizens praised Jennie for how patient she was and her positive attitude towards the trainees. They called her a kind teacher and liked how she wasn't as strict as the others. One part they loved the most was when she stayed up late to help the Full Moon team with their performance. Overall, her being on the show was met with positive reactions and got her more recognition.

“Okay, okay, you’re glowing. Something is up.” Hyuna called Jennie out as she sat with her, Hayoon, and Amber in a private area of a restaurant for breakfast.

“I thought I was the only one. Something is different. Did something happen?” Amber teased. “Something did happen, didn’t it?”

“And don’t lie.” Hayoon giggled.

Jen smiled and looked down. Everyone was noticing, huh? 

She couldn’t help but keep smiling as she nodded, “Yeah, something did happen.”

“Sounds positive with the way you’re cheesing.” Amber laughed.

“Wow, is it that obvious?” Jen looked at them in surprise.

“Yep!” the three girls replied.

“Wow. Well, when I came back from America I went to see Jungkook.”

“Oh?” the girls leaned in.

“We had a nice discussion about something that I’ve been thinking about for a long time and well...we’re dating.”

“YES!” Amber yelled while Hyuna and Hayoon screamed excitedly and clapped.

“Pay up!” Hayoon shouted, turning to Amber and Hyuna. “I knew she was going to go see him when she came back to Seoul! Ha-ha-ha, I’m rich~!”

“Whoa, whoa, you put a bet on us, too!? What is wrong with everyone?! You think this is funny?” Jen exclaimed

“All in good fun.” Hayoon giggled, collecting her money. “So, tell us what happened!”

“Yeah, how is he?” Hyuna beamed.

“I’m just so happy. Like everything is going so well, I love him so much. I now understand what it means to be on cloud nine with your significant other. Never thought I would feel this way.” she replied

“Aweeeee~.”

“My emotions!” Amber whined.

“How did Big Hit handle it?” Hayoon asked.

A pleased smile appeared on Jen’s face, “Oh, they loved it. They were waiting for us to date, too. Everyone put a bet on us over there. Crazy, huh?”

“Nope! Not at all, we have all been waiting. Have you two been on a date yet?”

“Not yet, we’re just keeping this relationship private. But I’m sure we’ll do something soon. Even if it’s something in the dorm, I’ll be happy.” 

--------

After hanging with the girls, Jennie spent the day with Jimin, Taehyung, and Jin to go snowboarding. As much as she hated the cold, she wanted to spend time with Jin who had invited her to join him. Jimin and Taehyung had chickened out and stayed indoors to do something while Jen and Jin went on to the mountain.

Jin insisted that she wore extra layers to make sure she wasn’t too cold. She laughed at how overboard he was about it but she loved seeing him so parent like towards her.

“Make sure this is on securely.” he adjusted her jacket and made sure she was bundled up. “You warm enough?”

“Yes, I told you three times already, let’s snowboard!” she replied excitedly. “Now how do I do this because I never did this before.”

He laughed and got behind her to position her correctly on the board. “Like this. Now accelerate.”

She tried to do what he asked and began to move. “WEEEEEEEEE-OOF!” she exclaimed as she immediately fell and began rolling down the slope. 

The oldest member laughed and went after her. “This is going to be a good day.” He said to himself as he finally saw her lying down on the snow, looking up at the sky

“This is harder than it looks.” she grabbed his hand and got helped up. “Okay, let’s try again!”

“Again?! Are you okay? Do you need to sit down? Are you hurt?”

“Nah, let’s continue!”

Time passed as he continued to try to teach her the basics of snowboarding. She started to get the hang of it, riding slowly down the slope as he cheered her on.

“I got it! I got it!” she yelled as she caught herself from falling when she rode down. Once she made it to the bottom, she turned to see Jin effortlessly snowboarding down to meet her. “That was awesome!” she high fived him.

“You did great! Let’s go back up!”

After another hour, Jennie and Jin went back inside to sit at a table. It was a huge difference from the outside as the warmth around the building eased their muscles as they relaxed. 

Jin sighed and watched Jennie in line to get their beverages. He smiled softly as he watched her have a bright smile on her face. She was just growing up too fast for him. And now even dating Jungkook? She was growing into a fine young woman right before his eyes. Where did the time go? It was just 2013!

“Hey,” his thoughts were interrupted when she sat in front of him, placing their hot chocolate on the table. “I bought a bunch of snacks. Warm soft pretzels and some soft warm cookies. Let’s drink up!” she beamed.

She placed an overwhelming amount of marshmallows in her hot cocoa which concerned Jin as he asked, “U-um are you sure you want that many marshmallows?”

“Yeah! It’s so good with it! You want some?”

“No thanks, you enjoy it, sweetie.”

“Oh, I will.” she eagerly sipped the warm beverage and sighed in contentment while it warmed up her body.

He watched her with a smile and took out his phone to snap a candid photo of her drinking, quickly tweeting, ‘Ah...I feel like she is growing up too fast...my little munchkin. I’m very proud of you. Thanks for spending the day with me. #Jin’

“I like how this tastes when eating the pretzel,” Jin added

“I know right? Sweet and salty is the best.”

It didn’t take long for Taehyung and Jimin to join them with their food and then they went to go shopping.

“Oh snap! Jimin! I found your socks!” Jennie teased, pointing out the pairs of baby socks in the aisle, making him scowl.

“Leave me alone!” he whined while she laughed at him. “What about these? These suit you because your feet are too big!” he grabbed a pair of adult socks.

“Huh. Well, at least my feet are bigger than yours.”

“They are not!” 

“Jimin, why do you fall for these tricks every time someone teases you about your height?” Jin laughed.

“You need to think of some better comebacks, Jimin.” Taehyung giggled. “Oh, Jennie, Valentine’s Day is coming up. Any idea what you’re going to do for Kookie?”

It took a few seconds for that statement to register in Jennie’s brain as she stood there blankly. 

Once she understood what he had said, her face fell as she turned around in alarm. “Valentine’s Day!? When is that!?”

Jimin giggled cutely at her reaction, “The 14th silly! Don't tell me you forgot.”

“Oh my God...shit!” she speed walked through the store while the guys look amused.

How could she forget that? How could she not know that Valentine’s Day was coming up? All these Valentine’s Day decorations and items all over town? And in Korea, it’s the girls buying the guys gifts. She was a terrible girlfriend! What was she going to do!?

“She is freaking out. Wow.” Jin watched her frantically search through the aisles that have a ton of Valentine’s Day stuff from chocolate to teddy bears.

“Should we help her?” Taehyung asked.

Jimin grinned mischievously, “Nah, let’s just watch. I want to see what she’s going to do.”

Jen was unsuccessful when trying to buy something for Jungkook. She didn’t want to get something cliché for him so she went back to the big hit building with the guys.

Outside the building, Jimin had begun filming because he was currently in a snowball fight with a few members. Jennie and Yoongi stayed in the car to watch while Yoongi filmed the fight while laughing.

Soon after, Jen got out of the car, shivering from the brisk air hitting her abruptly. She walked up to Jimin because she noticed that he wasn’t wearing gloves and had brought an extra pair. Watching Jimin grab a ball of snow with his bare hands, she heard him complain that his hands were cold.

“And where are your gloves!?” Jen scolded. “Y’all never want to wear gloves, I told you to buy those gloves at the store!”

“They were baby gloves!” Jimin yelled back with a laugh.

“They fit you!”

Jimin got so fed up, he threw the snowball at her, landing directly on her face as a loud gasp escaped her lips. He began laughing hard with Taehyung, Jungkook, Hobi, Jin, and their manager as she wiped the snow from her face. Her face was a bit flushed from the cold and the impact of the snowball

“Now I’m about to fuck you all up.” she grabbed a huge pile of snow while Jimin began backing up, laughing nervously.

“Language Jennie! You’re being filmed!”

“I don’t give a fuck! Bleep it out!” she joined in the fight by throwing the big ball of snow at him, hitting him in the chest.

--------

Jin, Jimin, Jennie, and Jungkook went out to go swimming in an indoor pool, wearing wetsuits. Jennie had been on her phone, sitting by the pool to check out that interview she did with Billboard. It looked so cool and she even looked great for the photo shoot. She revealed her feelings transitioning from American music to K-Pop, what happened up to

when she left Amity, and how she got into Big Hit. She was still sad about Amity and said she pushed through since the fans who have been with her from the Amity days know her side of the story. She remained humble about it, only grateful to the group despite the negativity near the end of her time there.

One question she loved the most was about the country she loved to perform in the most.

‘I love going home, so definitely performing in the USA! I would love to perform in a stadium in America one day with BTS. That’ll be so cool. And maybe even play my guitar there, too. One day! We will get there.’

“Ennie! Come on! Stop playing on your phone and get in the water!” Jimin shouted.

“I’m coming! Jeez!” she placed her phone down.

Jungkook ran a hand through his wet hair and turned around, smiling warmly when he saw her walk down the pool steps, getting her feet wet. He extended his hand out and helped her in.

“Nice of you to join us, milady.” he giggled with her and brought her into the deeper section of the pool.

“Hey! Hey! Hands above her butt!” Jin caught them getting handsy, splashing them with water.

Once he saw the couple’s expressions darken, he paddled away, yelling for his life while they went after him.

“Take him down!” Jen jumped on Jin’s back and tried to choke him with her arms around his neck.

After messing with Jin, Jungkook suggested to her, “Hey, let’s go on the water slide!”

“Nah, I’ll pass!”

“Let’s go~!” he picked her up over his shoulder as she let out a scream in surprise

“Wait! WAIT!” she yelled as he walked up the steps, making it to the biggest slide. “Oh my God, why are we doing this?”

“It’ll be fun, come on! We’ll go together!”

Once she got set down, she positioned herself on the slide. 

“Okay...one...tw-AHHHHHH~!” she screamed at the top of her lungs once Jungkook abruptly pushed her down. 

She heard his loud laughter as she went down, making a mental note to kill him later. She landed in the pool with a big splash and resurfaced up the water, coughing and moving hair from her face.

“Jungkook!” she yelled, seeing him waving at her at the top of the slide.

“I love you!” he yelled back.

“Fuck you!”

“Okay! Now!?” he eagerly replied in a teasing voice while Jimin laughed with him.

“Hey! We will not have this kind of language here!” Jin shouted, smacking Jungkook on the arm while Jen laughed.

--------

As soon as Valentine’s Day came, Jungkook had not seen Jennie all morning but was excited because it would be their first Valentine’s Day together. He wondered how she was feeling because she would be treating him to who knows what while he had to wait until White Day.

He felt a pair of warm hands covering his eyes while he was seated on the couch and heard her voice, “Guess who?”

“Iron Man?”

“No, silly. It’s me! Stand up and follow me okay? And keep your eyes closed.”

He stood up as she asked and felt her grab his hand, walking him somewhere. After a while, he stopped and heard the door close.

“Okay...open them.” 

Jungkook slowly opened his eyes to see her smiling nervously. He then looked around to see that they were in her room and it was decorated. Blankets on the floor with pillows, game systems waiting to be plugged in and played, stacks of games for them to play for each system, snacks sitting around for them, and even food waiting to be devoured.

His eyes softened as he let out a chuckle, looking around like a kid in a candy store. “Wow.”

“Happy Valentine's Day! D-do you like it? I kind of just thought you may want to have a chill day and I thought we could game together, and eat lots of snacks. I even bought extra food for you because of that big appetite of yours.” she nervously said.

He noticed that she was even wearing a pair of cute Iron Man pajamas with her hair down. She did all of this for him. This was the perfect way he wanted to spend the day.

“I-I know you’re usually supposed to buy like chocolate or something on this day but I thought your favorite snacks would’ve been better. I bought the seaweed you like, the banana milk and lots of other stuff. I also brought my smarties. I’ll share some just for you on this special day.” she rambled on.

Oh gosh, she was freaking out. Did she do this all correctly? It just came naturally to her to just create something like this instead of doing anything else. She rambled more while Jungkook watched her, amused, and thought about how cute she looked.

He then cut her rambling off by gently grabbing her face to pull her in for a smooch. She had forgotten what she had rambled about as she closed her eyes and kissed back. He pulled away and pulled her against his chest, wrapping his arms around her. With the side of her head against his chest, she hugged him back while his chin landed on the top of her head. 

She felt his chuckles vibrate against her cheek as he said, “You’re so cute when you ramble. I love this, this is amazing.”

“Really?" she looked up at him as he looked down at her.

"Of course," he leaned down to kiss her lips again.

"Wow, so I freaked out for nothing.”

“Yeah, you did. It was cute though.” he laughed and pulled away. 

They sat on the comfy blankets and Jungkook stared at the food with joy. “Oh, this is great.” he leaned in to kiss her cheek as she giggled and dug in with him.

After eating, she set up the first game system, which was the Wii as they played Wii Sports Resort. Fencing was something that Jen was a champ in, so she had a wonderful time beating him in multiple fencing games.

“Let’s switch controllers!” he demanded

“What!?” she laughed.

“No, this is rigged. Let’s switch!” he took her controller and gave her his. He restarted the game and fenced with her but lost once again. “Are you kidding!?”

Afterward, he got his revenge when he beat her in bowling. Following messing with the Wii, they went to the PlayStation 2, to play one of the Burnout racing games. The game was known for destroying cars, so JenKook had a good time trying to bump into each other whenever their cars passed one another. 

Out of the blue, Jungkook had rammed his car against hers, making her car flip over while all the other vehicles zoomed passed.

“REALLY!?” she shouted over his giggling as he sat behind her while she leaned her back against his chest.

“Babe, it’s just a game.”

“I was in first place!”

“And the Golden Maknae is now in first place. Look how great things turned out for me.” 

It didn’t take long for Jen to make a comeback and rush back up to second place. She kept trying to hit his car while he managed to avoid her efforts. Getting desperate, Jungkook tried to playfully bite her to distract her

“Cut it out! You play too much!” she laughed, trying to move away from him.

After playing a few rounds of the racing game, the couple went to play a wrestling game called Smackdown vs Raw. They choose their wrestlers to fight in the Royal Rumble after choosing which number they want to arrive at. Jungkook, being the cocky one, chose number one since he claimed he would win the entire thing being entrant number one. Jennie, however, chose to be number 30.

She sat next to him, cheering him on as he played as Eddie Guerrero, periodically feeding him snacks. Jungkook had impressed her, they were up to entrant 23 and he was STILL in the ring with high health. Before she knew it, her wrestler, Shelton Benjamin, finally came out as number 30

while Jungkook and two other wrestlers remained in the ring which was Matt Hardy and Rene Dupree.

Jen quickly eliminated Matt Hardy after hitting him with Shelton’s finisher while Jungkook took care of Rene Dupree. All of sudden, she threw Jungkook against the ropes, which was called an Irish whip and his wrestler fell out of the ring.

“YEAH!” she threw the controller down and stood up to celebrate

“WHAT!? NO!” Jungkook fell on his back, looking at the ceiling in disbelief

“Ain’t no stoppin’ me, nowwwwwwww! You can’t rock with me, ain’t no stoppin’!” she sang and danced to Shelton’s theme. “You can’t rock with me, ain’t no stopping! You can’t rock the man, you’re droppin’! Ain’t no stoppin’ me nowwwww!”

“Congratulations.” he accepted his defeat and sat up while she sat back down.

She went to kiss him and when he thought it would be a short kiss, he was about to pull away but she leaned forward to kiss him deeply. She then slowly straddled him while his hands firmly grabbed onto her hips to pull her closer.

Pulling away, she asked, “Can I try something?”

“Yeah, go ahead,” he replied, catching his breath.

Her soft lips pressed against his again, giving him light kisses as she caressed his cheek. Their kissing got needier and she lightly bit his lip and used her tongue, brushing it against his, taking him by surprise at how sensual their kissing became.

Pulling away to catch their breath, Jungkook grinned. "Where'd that come from?"

"I just wanted to use my tongue. Did you like it?”

“Let’s do that again.” he pulled her in for another kiss.

A giggle was heard and they stopped what they were doing. Turning to the door, which was slightly opened, Jimin, Hobi, and Taehyung were seen spying on them.

“Oh shit, they caught us!” Hobi scrambled away with the 95 Liners once they saw the couple run towards the door.

---------

Pressing start, Jennie and Taehyung sat next to each other with their V-Live called #LetsPutMakeUpOnSmartie With Taehyung~

“YOOOOOOO! WHAT IS UP!?” Jen loudly greeted as they watched the viewers pour in at a rapid rate. It went from 1,000 to 10,000 within a minute. “I see our notification squad is here! Represent!”

Taehyung giggled and waved. “ARMY~! Hello!”

“When should we start?”

“Let’s wait until we have at least 30k.”

“But we have 50k right now.”

“That quick!?” he looked at the screen. “Wow~! A lot of ARMY here to see us.”

She laughed. “Let’s get started! What is up, everyone? Today we are here for a very interesting V-Live. Taehyung thought of this goofy concept and I know I may regret it later but this will be a series. Each member of BTS will be doing my makeup and I just have to sit there and let them ruin my

face.”

“Ruin? That’s a bit harsh. You doubt my makeup skills?”

“Yeah, I do.”

He giggled again, “I promise I will make you even more beautiful than you already are. Trust me.”

“Uh huh.” she smiled forcefully.

“So...are you ready for me to do your makeup?” he smiled softly and placed her makeup bag on the table.

Jen gulped loudly which made ARMY send laughing emojis in the chat. The comments so far were saying:

‘LOL I LOVE this’

‘This is gonna be good’

‘Oh no Jennie whyyyy’

‘Jen looks high key scared, lmaoooo’

‘I love you Taennie!’

‘We missed you!’

“Okay! Ennie’s face is all nice and clean, so first we shall put on eyeliner!”

“Eyeliner!? Now!?”

“Yeah!” he giggled and grabbed one of her eyeliners.

“Oh my God...” she groaned and closed her eyes as he began to apply it on her face. 

It was extremely uneven and he had messed up a few times, making it look a hot mess.

‘Yooooooo no he didn't! She is going to kill him!’

‘STOP! MAKE IT STOP! SHE’S ALREADY DEAD!

‘NOOOOOOOO’

‘No turning back now!’

“You have pretty eyes. Let’s put some eyeshadow on.” he took out one of her eyeshadow palettes.

“That is brand new. I just received that in the mail a few days ago and I haven’t opened it yet. All from America.”

“Oohhhhh you know what I’ll do? Let’s mix these together!”

"What we not gonna do is mix my brand new eyeshadow.”

“This one...this one...and this one and that one.” Taehyung ignored her and began mixing them together with the brush.

“OHHHHHHHHHHHHH-AHHHHHHHHH!” she screamed when he mixed five shades of eyeshadow all together and began to apply it to her eye. “Are you fuc-friggin kidding me!?”

“Okay! Next is the foundation!” he placed a large portion on a beauty blender, making her cringe.

“A little goes a long way! You don’t need that much! Why are you squirting it!?”

“That’s what she said.” he giggled and she smacked him on the arm.

“I cannot believe this....” she complained as he placed it all over her face. 

He was caking a bunch of it on her poor face as she fake cried.

“Lipstick~!” he grabbed a color of red lipstick and began putting it on her lips, making it uneven.

“I bet I look like a clown.”

“You look very pretty. Doesn’t she ARMY? Okay! I’m done!”

She exhaled and looked at herself in the mirror. “Wh-what the hell? What did you do to me?! The heck is this!?”

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 66- BTS GAYO Tracks 3-9

Chapter Summary: Jennie and Jungkook team up to reenact a kiss scene from The Heirs K-Drama. Bangtan continue to play various activities to win and avoid penalties.

Words: 5,000+

------

GAYO Track 3

Jin announced, “Let’s enjoy good K-Pop with BTS. Bangtan~!”

“Gayo!” everyone announced

“Yay~!” J-Hope started jumping around. “It’s been a while!”

After recapping what happened in the last episode, the members revealed that today’s theme is OST songs.

‘Re-act scenes with great OST. Five chances are given, the team that acts without NG wins.’

Jen was not quite familiar with a bunch of movies and K-Dramas but she’s seen some that should give her some familiar vibes. The members were exposed to each song, bringing up specific scenes from each drama or movie.

“Your roles are in the box.” they were told as everyone went to grab a piece of paper.

“What’s yours Ennie?!” Taehyung rushed over to take a peek at her paper.

“Boy, back up. Don’t touch my paper.” she moved away, bumping into Jimin. 

After he saw what was on her paper, he met up with Taehyung and thought of a plan to get JenKook together for this one. They had to rush around to try to sneak glances at everyone else’s papers to make sure JenKook had the same category. As everyone was scrambling around, Jimin snatched Jen’s paper out of her hands.

“H-hey! Give that back!”

“Hehehe, sorry!” he handed her another piece of paper, while Taehyung snatched Jungkook’s paper and got chased by him until he had given him another paper.

After things calmed down, one by one the members announced their K-Drama and character. Jungkook had gotten ‘The Heirs, Park Shin-hye’ while Jimin and Taehyung anxiously waited to see if Jen had the same.

“The Heirs, Lee Minho,” Jen announced, causing Jimin and Taehyung to grin widely.

“Ahhh they’re doing the rooftop scene~!” Jimin beamed

“Jennie’s the boy, Jungkook is the girl.” Taehyung giggled.

“D-did you want to switch roles?” Jungkook asked her, blushing a little from the guys teasing him.

“It’s cool. I’m sure I can play Lee Minho well for the scene,” she reassured him.

They soon found that J-Hope and V were paired up, Jin and Jimin were paired, and Rapmon and Suga were also a pair.

“Eat the stick cookie until 3cm is left.” Suga read his objections for him and Rapmon.

“Acting is not easy,” Rapmon mentioned

Jen read her objections with Jungkook. It was similar to what Suga had read about the pocky stick.

“Can they not do pocky? Can’t they just kiss for real?” Taehyung blurted out

“Hyung!” Jungkook exclaimed.

“The pocky stick is corny! You two kissed the last time! Kiss again!” Jimin said.

“Since the kiss is abrupt, why not let me place my thumbs on your lips and kiss them?” Jen suggested.

“I-if that’s what you want, we’ll do that.” Jungkook nodded.

“It’s a two-way street. You want to do that?” she asked and once he said yes, she grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the group so they could work on the scene. “This is what I was thinking of.”

She demonstrated by placing her thumbs on his lips. Rising up on her tippy toes, she started leaning in as his eyes widened, becoming Jungshooked. She closed her eyes and kissed her thumbs for a moment before releasing him and stepping back.

Looking at his face, she began laughing as the camera filmed them. 

'Jungkook.Exe Has Stopped Working'

“His face!” she walked away, trying to control her laughter. 

If the cameras weren’t on them and if they were alone, he’d feel more at ease.

Pulling herself together, they begin to practice the scene. 

“Looks like I’ll have to yell at him.” she rewatched the scene on her phone with him.

After practice, each group got to their station, watching group by group perform. First V and J-Hope performed a scene from Secret Garden. V held J-Hope’s feet while he did sit-ups and rose up to meet V’s face closely.

“Mr. V. Since when you’ve been so pretty? From last year?” Hobi acted out. V pushed him and stood up. “Hey, it was a joke.”

Jen had to refrain herself from laughing when V had to pop the balloon on Hobi’s butt. The first kick caused Hobi to jump and yell out in pain while the members laughed. After the third try, V successfully popped the balloon as V high fived Jungkook and Jennie. Next up was JenKook.

“Let’s try to do this on the first try, no mistakes so we can win,” Jungkook told her as she nodded.

Their station had a big table that represented the edge of the rooftop.

“I can’t wait to see this.” Yoongi looked on.

“Can we start?” Jen asked and got the OK.

They begin the scene with Jungkook’s back towards her. 

“Are you hurt anywhere?” she acted with concern in her voice. When he had nodded, she approached him. “Let me see.”

“Don’t come! You’re going to get your clothes dirty.” Jungkook exclaimed. 

She pressed her lips together and grabbed him by the wrist to turn him around. “Stay still, let me see.”

“I’m fine!” he yelled.

“I said stay still!” she yelled back and checked his hand. 

His phone began to buzz and she grabbed it to see who was calling but Jungkook snatched it back, placing it against his chest as she let go of him.

“Don’t! I have to answer it.”

“Don’t answer it.”

“You saw him earlier. Avoiding him and ignoring him doesn’t work. He knows that I’m not rich.”

“It’s okay if he doesn’t. Don’t answer it.” She firmly responded as they stared at each other intently.

“How is it okay? He knows everything!” he yelled

“I said don’t answer it!” she yelled back.

“Wow~!” Rapmon and Yoongi murmur, engrossed by their acting. 

Jimin and Taehyung watched with heart eyes as their plan worked. Things were going great.

“She’s so short, and he’s so tall, he’s looking down at her while she takes his phone.” Jin giggled.

The members watched JenKook intently as they acted passionately, and were impressed by their yelling and intense facial expressions.

Jungkook opened the phone to answer it. “Hello-“

Jennie snatched the phone and pulled him close, placing her thumbs on his lips to kiss him while he stood there, shocked. The members started jumping up and down, freaking out once they see their kiss. 

Pulling away, Jen said, “Try answering it again. You will see me go crazy. I’m going to kill the person who calls you. I never go halfway”

Jungkook quickly got out of her grasp and walked away, looking troubled while Jen clenched her jaw, watching him leave. After the scene ended, JenKook high fived each other and sat with V and J-Hope while Jin and Jimin prepared their scene from I’m Sorry I Love You.

“Jimin and Jin, action!” Rapmon announced. 

Jin covered his face while Jimin sat next to him, pretending to drive but then Jimin began to laugh as J-Hope pointed out mistakes

“NG, NG!” Yoongi called out

They started again with Jimin yelling, “Stop crying! Damn, I can’t do this.” 

Jimin hunched forward and got out of his seat, making the members laugh. J-Hope fell back and cackled, clapping his hands. “My voice is not for acting.”

“That team is screwed. They will receive the punishment.” J-Hope declared.

Once they tried it for the third time, Jimin couldn’t do it and everyone laughed again.

“I want to act!” Jin exclaimed.

Starting over again, Jimin finally got it together, “Stop crying! If you cry, I’ll live with you! Let’s eat. Let’s eat something.”

“Stop the car,” Jin murmured sadly

“Let’s eat.”

“Stop the car.”

“Will you eat or kiss me?”

“Stop the car!” Jin yelled while Jennie looked on impressed.

“Will you eat!? With me!? Or die?!” Jimin placed 15 pieces of candy in Jin’s mouth. “Eat! I don’t want to do this again! Eat!”

The members laughed at the way Jimin was yelling. 

“He is so cute.” Jen giggled as they finally completed their scene. 

Last up was Suga and Rapmon acting out a scene from Architecture 101, Suji and Jehoon’s first kiss scene. Rapmon laid his head on Suga’s shoulder, sleeping while the members burst into laughter because of his acting. Suga placed a pocky stick in his mouth and they chewed it until it was 3cm. But they get an NG because Rapmon forgot his line.

Trying it again, Rapmon said the line and then they had to jump rope together, continuing to get an NG. Their biggest challenge was the jump rope but Rapmon continued to step on the rope. 

“AHHHHHH~!” Rapmon yelled and fell to his knees in despair against the wall while Jen cackled.

In the end, Rapmon failed to get the last tissue off the floor. 

For the punishment, Suga opened the paper. “Cheesy and corny action. Show your great performance.”

After playing rock, paper, scissors, Rapmon received the punishment and got into character.

“He’s immersed in emotions.” Jungkook pointed out

“Rap Monster scene 1, monologue. Action!” Suga announced.

“I say that my ideal type is a girl wearing Converse high tops.” Rapmon started. “That’s because of you, Red Converse high tops. I lost my mind for your body figure.”

Jennie cringed and pursed her lips together just like the Conceited reaction meme in front of the camera to give ARMY another reaction photo to use while the other members silently laughed at his monologue.

“PD is wearing red Converse high tops?” Rapmon went on. “Be my Converse high tops.”

“AHHHHHH!” The members cringed

GAYO Track 4

“Time for K-Pop with BTS! Bangtan Gayo!” Jungkook announced.

After recapping the previous show, Jungkook revealed the next challenge which was songs by lyrics, Bangtan Karaoke.

Step 1: Memorize the lyrics and sing in turns.

Step 2: Do the missions for special chances

Step 3: Snacks if you finish within 10 tries.

“There’s also a dreadful penalty if you fail. Tasty sand eel.” The PD announced.

“Wow, you are just the person with the good news today, huh?” Jen added while the members groaned at the possibility of the penalty. 

She already knew she was going to lose. She wasn’t all that familiar with a bunch of karaoke songs in Korea. Sitting on the floor, pretzel style, Jen sat in between V and Rapmon. 

The first song came on as the lyrics blared out, ‘Hey you, look my way. And tell me I’m pretty. Imagining you falling for me.’

The whole time, Jennie had a confused facial expression. She had no idea what this song was. It was announced that it was the follow-up song for FINKLE’s 1st album in 1998.

“When Jungkook and Jennie were two. I recognize the song.” Suga spoke up

“Uh...” Jen murmured, looking confused with Jungkook.

Each member took a piece of paper to choose which number that would be. And of course, with bad luck, Jennie was number one. J-Hope would be next then Rapmon, Jin, Jimin, Suga, Jungkook and V.

“Why...? Just why?” she complained.

For the first attempt, a light and joyful song came on as the members danced around, swaying side to side.

“Okay! Okay! I got this.” Jen prepared, getting into the song.

“1! 2! 3! 4!” the members announced and turned to her to start the song.

Swaying around, clapping her hands, “I don’t know the words but I’m singing on key. You might as well give me that penalty. Cause Miss Bangtan doesn’t know this song~!” she sang out, making the members laugh as her face warmed up. 

It threw everyone off track.

“At least she was honest! Hahah.” Rapmon laughed while each member got hit with a hammer.

J-Hope helped her with the lyrics and she tried to remember as she finally sang the right words.

Starting the song properly, J-Hope sang, “Hey you, look my way. And tell me I’m pretty.”

“Imagine me...” Rapmon messed up while the members figured out the song.

Starting again, the members danced around while Hobi did his stretch dance. Jen managed to say the right words but Rapmon kept messing up and as a punishment, they had Jin remove a stocking off his feet within 30 seconds and he did it quickly. As the members continued to bicker around to know the lyrics, JenKook remained quiet, watching the members. But they all kept failing and continued to get penalties.

“I dunno what the hell is going on.” Jen looked at the camera, amused while they all tried to figure out the lyrics.

During their sixth attempt, they made it to Jimin, “Like the movie yesterday, hug me and tell me you wanna kiss.”

“Look my way always in your eyes.” Suga sang in his deep voice. “I’m a little girl.”

“It’s yet awkward to say, love.” Jungkook sang

“But in your heart, I’ve become a lady. My love now-na na na-” V forgot the rest of the lyrics which caused the members to go crazy.

“Ahhhh!” Suga yelled

Jimin and Rapmon threw their pieces of paper and stood up frantically, yelling.

“What are you doing!?” Rapmon yelled. “SHE OPENED HER EYES!”

Jimin marched up to V and started yelling at him, “Opened her eyes!”

“Why can’t you open her eyes!?”

Jennie fell on her back, cracking up before she went over to try to protect V, calming Jimin down. “Leave my baby V alone, ahaha! It’s okay!”

For the seventh attempt, V correctly got the lyrics right and started dancing around.

“Call call give a call!” Jungkook sang

‘Wait, wait, we’re going back!? I don’t know the rest of the song!’ Jen looked on in fear. 

Oh, she was screwed. The members were going to kill her when she messed up.

“Whatever you want, I will give.” Rapmon sang.

“In your arms, your arms.” J-Hope messed up the lyrics, causing the members to stare at him.

Rapmon shoved J-Hope away. “You stupid!” he yelled

“You said you knew!” The members rushed up while Jimin and Yoongi stomped on J-Hope. 

Jungkook threw a pillow at him to finish him off. Now everyone had to have a shuffle change and this time, Jen would be next to Jin, at the end.

“Okay, so can you help me? What am I singing? A girl does not know this song.” she asked Tae for help as he went over the song with her.

For their eighth attempt, they sang along but once it came to Jin, he messed up before Jen could. For their ninth attempt, Jin finally sang right but when it came to Jennie, she hesitated and messed up the words.

“JENNIE~!” Rapmon yelled while Jimin rushed up and grabbed a hold of her

“Do you wanna die!?” Jimin yelled while the members attacked her with pillows

“I’m sorry!” she shouted, shielding her body from the assault.

Finally getting it during the next try, it was Rapmon who messed up the final line and they opened the next challenge which was to eat jelly on your face without hands. They allowed Jin to do it but he failed when it dropped. Yoongi went next and it fell to his tongue but it fell off. Last up was Jimin who successfully got it in. 

For their last attempt, they finally sang the song with no errors as Rapmon dramatically sang the final verse, “Just like this, in your arms, take me.”

“I’m yours!” The members yelled and finally celebrated that they won.

For the penalty drink, they had to take numbers and were forced to get their drink. Everyone drank but then suddenly, it was Jennie who got the penalty drink because she spit it out and started coughing.

“Oh God! Oh my God! No! Lord Jesus, have mercy!” she whined over the members teasing her.

“Bangtan Gayo, see you next time!” Yoongi waved goodbye

---------

GAYO Track 5

“Ayooo, BTS here and it’s time to enjoy some K-Pop music,” Jen announced, standing in the middle with a bright smile. 

“BTS’s K~Pop!” she announced with them.

“Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!” Hobi shouted excitedly.

“Last episode, I had the great pleasure of drinking that gross drink. Thank you. My tastebuds are dead.” she announced while everyone chuckled.

“You look like you were about to cry, smartie. Was it that bad?” Suga asked.

“I mean, would you like to taste it for yourself?”

“Nah, I’m good.” He chuckled

“It was nauseating. My breath still was smelling bad after the mouthwash. Anyway, what’s going on today?” she received the card. “GAYO 5. Association quiz by inference.”

Elders vs Youngsters. It would be the Hyung team vs Maknae team. Guess the other team’s singer and song. 

After writing the penalty, they began the challenge. The Makane line sat first while the hyung line stood. For the first question, Suga started blowing in his hands

“Trumpet, maybe?” Jen guessed.

“No, balloon,” V spoke as they watched Jin portray carrying a balloon. 

Before they knew it, Jungkook walked up to the camera

“TVXQ’s Balloon,” he answered, getting it correct.

Jen hated games like this because it did take her a while to figure out what was what and she felt like she would slow her team down.

“A-yo!” Rapmon interpreted

“I’ght you goin’ have to give us a little more than an ‘A-yo’,” Jen replied while Jungkook got hit with a hammer after trying to guess.

“Oppa car, bought, pick you up.” Rapmon tried to explain. “Sunglasses.”

Jen was still confused but her team knew it was Jinusean. 

“I don’t know anything, man, damn,” she complained as she watched her team try to guess but constantly get hit in the head.

But finally, Jungkook got the correct answer. Next was the Hyung line freaking out like they won something.

Jin suddenly pointed to Jennie. “You were just listening to this song.”

“Oh!” she rushed up to the camera. “First I want to give a shoutout to my boys Block B because the song is Jackpot by Block B.” she rapped some of the song while she got it correct.

After they finished guessing, it took them ten minutes and 31 seconds. Next was the Hyung line and they were easily breezing through all the songs. Once EXO’s growl came on, Jen immediately performed the dance after her teammates were trying to growl around, confusing the Hyung Line.

Jin rushed to the camera. “EXO’s growl.”

It took the Hyung line six minutes and 27 seconds and now it was time for the penalty. Opening up the paper, Jimin revealed it to be closing with 17 candies. So one person had to eat 17 pieces of candy.

“I’ll do it,” Jen announced before her team could play rock, paper, scissors. “I’ve been craving candy today so it shouldn’t be that bad. Let me at em.”

“Wow, this is a first that anyone offered to take one for the team,” Rapmon said.

“Oh that’s great, you’re a lifesaver.” Jimin sighed out of relief.

“Taking one for the team, respect.” Jungkook patted her on the back.

Given the candy, she exhaled, looking at how big they were. “Oh God...” 

She placed them all in her mouth as the members started pinching her cheeks. Her mouth was full and she tried to speak but the members teased her for how she was sounding.

----------

GAYO Track 6

Jimin was the MC for this episode while Jennie sat in between Jin and Suga. After recapping the previous episode, they explained that this episode’s topic is Fans’ special vote on BTS’ top 5 dances. Before getting started, it was announced to pick the worst dancers as a warm-up. V had forgotten about the Tomorrow choreography and Jimin spotted his mistake. The members continued laughing at Rapmon’s dancing. In the end, they picked Suga as the worst dancer in his team.

“Really? How come? It’s not fair!” Suga stood up. “Did you pick me for fun?”

“I mean...” Jennie snickered and shrugged, earning a dirty look from him.

“I took a closer look at how Suga danced. It was really funny.” V giggled.

“I pick Smartie as the worst dancer,” Suga called out.

“Me, too!” Rapmon added with a laugh.

“Bish whet?!” she stood up and turned to them as Rapmon, Jin, and Suga laughed loudly and moved out of their seats. “Don’t start something you can’t finish, Suga.” 

“You wanna go?” he demanded with a laugh while the members looked back and forth, amused.

“Bring it on, old man, bring it on!”

“Dance battle! Play the music!” Jimin announced.

Danger soon came on, which confused the both of them. It had been a while. And lowkey, she absolutely hated performing the song. It took a while, but then they got a groove and managed to perform in sync with the guys cheering in the background. Jennie ended up missing a few steps, while Suga went on. Needless to say, she was a bit irritated that she messed up due to her competitive nature.

“I guess Suga won,” V said after they finished while Jen and Suga shared a laugh and high fived.

“Everyone decide who won,” Jimin said

“Suga,” Rapmon announced

“Jennie!” Jungkook raised his hand with a bright smile.

After a heated discussion, it was announced that Jennie was ranked at the bottom for dancing and would be the special MC with words of consolation.

“Ooh, I get to MC? Let’s get it!” she quickly made her way to Jimin as he dramatically presented her the mic. “Thank you, my good sir.”

“You’re welcome. Thank you for taking my MC position.” He responded with envy

“You are quite welcome.” she laughed and ruffled his hair. Turning to the group, she happily smiled. “Gentlemen, I’ll be your awesome MC for today. So, let us see the top 5 dances of Bangtan voted by the fans. Write down your answers on the board. First up, let’s think of the number one dance.”

After writing, they revealed their answers and surprisingly it was between I Need U and Dope.

“To me, Dope is the most awesome,” Suga said

“I Need U has very artistic choreography,” Jungkook argued.

“Oh, wow...am I the only one who thinks it’s neither of those?” Jen spoke. “I was thinking of maybe Bulletproof or Tomorrow.”

“Why you think it’s tomorrow?” Jin asked.

“Because it’s sexy and every time we body roll, 'errbody goes crazy and screams.” she shrugged. 

“But fans would vote for something that looks fabulous,” Rapmon added

“Exactly. Us body rolling and so on in tomorrow is quite fabulous from all them screams if you asked me.” she let out a soft chuckle. “Anyway, let’s see what it is. The first choice is...”

‘I Need U’

Jungkook and Jimin immediately started laughing because they were the only ones who chose that song and 42% of fans voted for that as their number one dance. Jimin began running around, yelling in celebration while the rest remained bewildered that it wasn’t Dope.

“Let’s guess the 4th best dance,” Jen announced. 

After a while, the members revealed their answers and it was a variety of different dances about Danger, MBC, No More Dream, and Tomorrow. 

“Number four is...one of my favorites, Tomorrow! Now with number three, it comes with a punishment so...choose wisely~!”

After they revealed their various answers, the members were offered the choice to change their answers. It amused Jennie how conflicted they looked as they tried to ponder if their answer was right or if they should change it.

“He says nothing,” Suga called Jin out who remained quiet the entire time.

“Hey, focus on the show.” J-Hope laughed at Jin.

“Doesn’t he need to change?” Suga pointed at Jin’s board which had No More Dream written on it.

“Why? You stick to your way!” Jin stood up. “Why do you ignore No More Dream?” he pointed his arm forward and danced, making Jen’s eyes widen and Jimin lean forward with laughter.

“What was that!?” she laughed and mimicked the dance move he had done.

Before she knew it, the boys began to have another heated discussion about the dances, as she tried to restore order. 

“Aye! Aye! Aye! Relax!” she yelled, getting their attention. “Let’s see what ARMY said. Number three is...from the 2014 Korea Music Festival.”

“Yeah!” Jimin yelled, jumping in celebration while he was the only person that got it right.

“Always go with your gut guys, don’t get influenced by each other.” she reminded and gave Jimin a high five. “What is behind door number two!”

As soon as Dope was revealed, Jin jumped up and repeatedly yelled “jjeoreo!”

Since there were only two stockings, Jungkook and V would have to dance battle and then Rapmon and Jin would have to as well. 

“We should be able to see something new. A fresh version of the choreography.” J-Hope announced.

When Dope came on, V and Jungkook dance battled. The members began to get hyped and laughed when Jungkook was extra as usual with his dancing.

“Are you okay!?” Jennie laughed when Jin fell on his butt. She helped him up and patted him on the back. 

In the end, Rapmon and V were the ones who received stockings on their heads as Jennie placed one on Rapmon’s head and Jimin placed the other on V’s.

“That stocking reminds me of Rookie King.” She laughed. “Remember when Jungkook had a stocking on his head?”

The members laughed at the fond memory and began to portray how he was with the stocking.

--------

GAYO Track 7

For this episode, the topic will be songs of male singers based on dance. They were split up into teams after playing the palm-up or palm-down game. Team Red consisted of V, Jennie, Jimin, and Suga, while Team Black and White had Rapmon, Jin, Hobi, and Jungkook. It will be a speed quiz between the two teams. They would have to explain the song and the singer by dance and body language. 

Jennie, Suga, and Jimin sat by the table while V had the sign with the songs as Jungkook’s team went first to begin guessing. Team Red was bewildered at how fast the opposing team was getting the dances right. 

“Are we going to lose?” Jennie asked

“No! We will win! Stay optimistic!” Jimin exclaimed and shook her.

As soon as Rapmon came up to dance around, their team began to struggle because they could not get anything until J-Hope finally got it after a while. Jimin and Jennie held onto each other while laughing once Jungkook spaced up and struggled to try to think of what to do for the next song. After they were done, Jennie sat in between V and Jimin while Suga began to explain the first dance.

“BANG BANG BANG!” Jen yelled over V and Jimin, causing the guys to laugh. 

Running up to the front, she watched Jungkook turn the page.

‘Uh...how did it go...?’ she pondered as her body began to move on its own to perform the choreography as she hit her head multiple times.

“Don’t hurt yourself.” Jin laughed.

“Mamacita by Super Junior!” Jimin called out and rushed to the front.

“EXO’s Growl!” Jen, V and Suga answer while Team Black and White complain about how easy their songs are to guess.

As Team Red continued to rush to the front while answering correctly, Team Black and White continued to complain about how easy it was for them. Jennie looked confused when Suga was back up, throwing his hands up but Jimin answered it correctly.

“This is it.” V made a dramatic face

“Oh! It’s my boys! Block B’s Her!” Jen answered and went back to the front. 

As soon as she leaned forward and started snapping, the boys immediately yelled, “Sherlock by SHINee!”

Next was Suga but they continued to struggle on the song.

“Go away!” Jennie stood and shoved Jungkook away after he continued to dance the choreography of Bang Bang Bang to ‘help’ out. Jungkook’s loud giggling filled the room while she went back to her seat to focus on Suga.

But in the end, they weren’t able to get the right answer and lost the game. After playing Rock, Paper, Scissors, V, and Jimin were sitting in front of each other while the members surrounded them. Soon after, a flustered Jimin went to kiss V on the cheek and then began to run around.

-------

GAYO Track 8

After recapping the previous episode, the members find out that they will learn trot songs that represent Korea. The rules were to have V read the trot song lyrics and the others would say the title and signer. The guessing team that sings it right will win the round. The first team to get three out of five will be declared the winner. Team Tall consisted of Jungkook, Jin and Rapmon while Team To Be Tall had Jimin, J-Hope, Jennie and Suga.

Once they heard the first song, the members laughed once V started dancing and singing with his gold jacket. 

“Sing it!” Jen cheered.

“V’s trot class. Everyone is ready to learn about trot?” V announced, sitting in between the two teams.

The first lyrics were, ‘I called dibs on an attractive girl. Her appearance is so sexy. Her face is dazzling. Her body is dazzling.’

Jungkook and Suga immediately rushed to the mic. Suga got to it first and answered, “Park Hyun-bin. The song is Dazzling Dazzling.”

“Trot singers have dancers behind them!” J-Hope announced as the members danced behind Suga when he began to sing but he forgot the lyrics. Soon after, Jungkook took over, dancing around with his teammates.

“Dazzling, dazzling. She’s so smoking hot. I’m so attractive that everyone loves me. I called dibs on a girl.” Jungkook sang, and glanced right at Jennie, “Beautiful, her appearance.”

While Jennie was snickering at how extra Team Tall was, she had caught him looking at her while he sang as her face warmed up. After he finished singing, Team Tall won the first round.

‘If others call me, I will think about it. If you call me, I will run unconditionally. I’ll run to you unconditionally’ was the next set of lyrics as Jungkook walked up to the mic.

“I don’t know who the singer is.” He answered as everyone laughed.

“Isn’t it Park Sang-cheol?” Rapmon asked.

J-Hope rushed up to the mic, “Park Sang-cheol’s Unconditionally.”

When the song came on, J-Hope sang while his team stood next to him and danced in the background. But apparently, he got the lyrics wrong so they redeemed themselves to sing it correctly.

“Whether it’s day or night, I will run to you anytime! I will run unconditionally! Jajara, jarajara, janjanjan!” Team To Be Tall sang and jumped up and down.

As the game went on, the two teams were tied 2 and 2. Now it was the final round and a random song would be played and if anyone knew it, they would have to sing it. As soon as they heard the music, Team Tall rushed to the front and answered with Kim Soohee, A South Bound Train, which was correct. Jennie kept nodding her head at how passionately Jin was singing but then V interrupted the team when they sang a lyric wrong.

“We’ll take that, thank you.” Jennie walked past Team Tall with the rest of her teammates as Suga smoothly grabbed the mic out of Jin’s hands. 

As the song replayed again, the team sang the song but then messed up when they said: “for the South.” Instead of “In the South.”

During Team Tall’s second attempt, they sang the wrong lyrics again. Suga and J-Hope went up to the mic while they made Jimin stay behind because he messed up the song before.

“Hey, bring Jimin, this is a team effort. Come on, look at the face.” Jen pointed out.

“Smartie, do not fall for that puppy dog look of his,” Suga replied.

“But it’s Jimin, you can’t say no to him or reject him.”

“Park Jimin, do not come over here.” J-Hope pointed.

“’ight then I’m staying with Jimin.” Jen stayed in her seat with him as he laughed.

“Jennie, get over here!”

“No one leaves Jimin behind,” she answered firmly.

“Aish...fine. Bring him.” Suga gestured as she and Jimin stood with them by the mic.

In the end, Team To Be Tall won the game while Team Tall sat there in defeat. For the punishment, Team Tall would part their hair 2:8 and sing dramatically while everyone laughed.

--------

GAYO Track 9

For Track 9, the members were seated. Jen sat in between Jin and Jungkook and the members would have to guess the top five BTS songs selected by fans. On top of that, they would have to get the rankings right and they only have three chances to do so. If they fail, they’ll be punished. The members have to guess ranking 2, 4 and 5.

“What do you think J-Hope?” Suga, who was the MC for this episode, asked.

“I personally think our title songs would get more votes.” He answered.

“Don’t underestimate our B Side songs though. It’s tricky.” Jen added.

“What do you think Jennie?” Suga asked.

“I think Tomorrow is on here.”

“You always talk about tomorrow.” Rapmon laughed

“What? It’s a great song!”

“Why thank you,” Suga said with appreciation.

After the members were talking about which songs they thought were on the list, they began to write their answers down. Jennie wrote down Tomorrow for number 2, Dead Leaves for number 4 and Bulletproof for number 5. She remained quiet for the majority of this episode, concentrating hard on what songs she thought were the right ones.

“Tomorrow is number 2,” Suga revealed.

“YASSSS~!” she tossed her board down and got up to dance in celebration while the rest of the members tossed their boards down, annoyed that they got it wrong. 

As a punishment for Jin, he wore a tight shirt which made the members laugh. When it was time to guess the fifth song, which was revealed to be BTS Cypher Part 3, the majority of the members got it correct while Jen sighed in defeat. So far I Need U was number one, Tomorrow was number two, and Let Me Know was number three. Lastly was the fourth song while Suga announced that the punishment is to drink an unknown beverage.

“I’m staying away from drinks. I don’t feel like dealing with what happened on Track 4,” Jen said.

After being given five seconds to answer, Jen kept the song that was on her mind as they all revealed their answers but in the end, Miss Right was the correct one. Jennie facepalmed while the members talked about the rest of the top songs on the list.

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 75- Ejected

Chapter Summary: Jennie finally hangs with Baekhyun and meets the rest of EXO. BTS return for ISAC as Jennie deals with issues on the volleyball court

Words: 10,000+

Author's Note: I originally chose a girl group for this part but decided to make a random group with names instead. I felt like it was much better than to write a girl group in a bad light tbh. Enjoy!

--------------

After being let in, Jennie walked around SM’s building to find Baekhyun. She was so excited to see him and couldn’t wait to meet the other members. The fact that he invited her was so sweet of him and she hoped to have a great time hanging out with the guys.

“There you are! Hey, she’s here!” a cheerful voice was heard as she looked to see Baekhyun smiling and waving at her.

“Baekhyun!” she beamed, hugging him. 

Even after meeting, she still got butterflies in her stomach whenever she saw this man as she tried to keep her composure.

“I see you’re still swooning over him.” Chanyeol teased, walking up to them.

“No idea what you’re talking about.” she laughed nervously and released Baekhyun as he chuckled.

“Ah, leave my Jennie alone. I think it’s cute," Baekhyun said. "Come on, let’s introduce you to the guys. We were working in the studio.”

“Working on your new album?” she asked.

“Yes, what about you and Bangtan?”

“Same thing. I was informed by my dance instructor that he wants me to do some type of water dance for our next comeback soon. Maybe for like a special occasion like the MAMA Awards.”

“Oh really? That would be cool to see. Kai and Sehun can help you with that, once you start learning.” Chanyeol added.

“I would love that. Need all the help I can get.”

“Guys, Jennie is here!” Baekhyun announced, walking in to see the members chilling amongst themselves.

“Jennie! Finally, we get to meet you. Chanyeol and Baekhyun could not stop chewing our ears off about it.” Suho greeted.

“Oh really? You guys talk about me a lot?” she smiled at the two guys.

“Mainly Baekhyun.” Chanyeol threw him under the bus while he got playfully hit by him in response. “He talks about how he wants to sing with you one day. He keeps asking the company if there is a way for EXO to collaborate with you.”

“Really? I'd love that! Wow, has there been any word yet?”

“SM said they will keep it in mind for something near the end of the year or something. So, that looks like a good sign.” Baekhyun added.

“Awesome. Keep me posted.” she turned to the members and smiled warmly. “Hey! It’s nice to finally see you guys in person. I’m Jennie. Okay, I got this, let me point you guys out. You are Xiumin.” She turned to him

He smiled and nodded. “Nice to meet you!”

“Kyungsoo.”

Kyungsoo nodded and flashed a cute grin. “Correct.”

“Chen. I swear every time I hear your vocals, I get goosebumps. I still can’t over your vocals from last year’s MAMA Awards.”

Chen grinned, “Thanks, Jennie! It's great to meet you,“

“Sehun. Maknae to maknae, it is very nice to meet you.”

“It’s nice to meet you, too.” Sehun nodded.

“Kai.” she turned to him and pointed him out as he nodded.

“Correct! Hello Jennie.” He grinned.

“And you’re Suho. The great leader of EXO. Thank you for your hard work in leading this group. Your efforts are always appreciated.”

“Thank you, Jennie. I try my best,” he spoke some English to her and smiled softly.

“Where’s the last member?” she looked around, thinking of Lay.

“I think he went to use the bathroom. He should be back soon.” Chen responded.

“Oh, Jennie informed Baekhyun and me that she will be performing some type of water dance for a special occasion around the time of BTS’ next comeback. Do you guys mind showing her some pointers and helping her once she starts learning the dance?” Chanyeol turned to Sehun and Kai.

“Of course. We’ll be glad to help.” Sehun answered.

“Yeah, no problem. You want to head to the dance studio now?” Kai suggested. “We can show you some of the choreography we’ve done with water.”

Jen accepted their offer and went to the dance studio, sitting on the floor while watching them. She listened closely and made notes on her phone as they gave her advice on their techniques. They made it look so effortless with how fluid their moves are. It was like they told a story with their dance. Although she was told that her dance was going to be in a more hyper and hip-hop style instead of how their moves were, she still took what they told her to heart and was looking forward to showing them what she would be taught once she began learning.

Jennie loved meeting idols and learning from them. She was grateful for any advice they told her as it made her become a better performer. 

Lay came back from the bathroom and passed the dance studio only to stop once he saw the members in there with Jennie. He walked in while Jen didn’t notice, fixated on the two dancers in front of her. Walking over to Xiumin and Chen, they greeted him.

“Who is that?” Lay asked curiously.

“Oh, that’s Jennie. She’s from BTS. She’s good friends with Chanyeol and Baekhyun. She came here to visit and hang with us. We were going to go eat later.” Chen answered.

“Jennie.” Lay nodded, as her name rang a bell.

Following the dancing, the members started talking amongst themselves and worked on some old choreography for fun. Jen then noticed Lay who was texting on his phone and decided to approach him.

She remembered him. He was their Chinese member of the group and wondered if she should use what she learned in Chinese to help communicate with him if he wasn’t so comfortable speaking in Korean or English. Deciding to give it a shot, she began speaking in his language, hoping for the best. 

“You’re Lay, right?” she asked as he looked up in surprise. “Hi! I’m Jennie. It’s nice to meet you.”

“Hi! You speak Chinese?” he replied in his language.

“A little. I’m still learning. Ever since I met The8 from Seventeen I have been trying to learn the language to communicate with him more. Seems to be paying off, huh?”

“It has. Your pronunciation is good.”

“I’m glad you can understand me.”

“Is it hard for you as an idol from America?”

“Most definitely. Foreigner 101 in K-Pop. Struggling every day but somehow surviving.” 

He chuckled softly. “Tell me about it.”

“Oh, do I have some stories.”

“I have time.”

“Okay. Let’s chat. Do you want to walk around? I am curious to see how different the building is from Big Hit’s. I also want to check out the memorabilia.”

“Sure. Let’s go.”

Once they left the studio after letting the members know, they walked around passing staff members along the way.

“I am not gonna lie, being a foreigner here is hard,” Jen admitted. “I take it day by day and push through but still.”

“I agree. My Korean could use a little work. Sometimes I have to ask people to speak slowly so I can make sure I understand.”

“Me too! Or you just see me fake laughing while looking confused on variety shows. And sometimes I may say words that mean something way different than what I implied.”

“That happened to me during a music show interview while I was with Chanyeol. I mispronounced a word. Urgh, so embarrassing.”

“Jimin and Taehyung made me say a dirty word in Korean. It was awful and on V-live! They didn’t even correct me until I saw the fan comments laughing and freaking out. When I called them out on it those two started cackling in my face. I got them back by beating them with pillows.”

Lay laughed wholeheartedly. “I should start doing that.”

“You should. It’ll make them think twice about doing it again.”

“Do you often miss home?”

“Always. The distance was so hard when I first started here. I do get homesick sometimes, but I learned to cope. Being around good friends and keeping in touch with family has helped. So, it isn’t that bad. However, I always feel so elated when I go home.”

“Yes, nothing like home. Especially the food. The food is good when you go home. I should try some American dishes the next time I go to America. Perhaps once we go on tour again, I’ll eat some good food there.”

“Definitely. If you want any recommendations, let me know. Actually, let’s exchange numbers. I also gotta get the other guys’ numbers too.” she took out her phone. After exchanging numbers, she texted him to make sure he got it.

“Got it. You know, it’s really nice to talk to someone about being a foreigner here. Someone to relate to.”

“Yeah, especially when you understand exactly what they’re talking about. Let’s definitely keep in touch. Well, either way, you’re kinda stuck with me now so I’m going to enjoy our forthcoming friendship.”

Lay let out a soft laugh, taking a good look at her. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Jennie was stoked to be back at ISAC. She could not wait to play volleyball and wrestle the girls again. Bangtan was with the team of Got7, Bestie and Twice as she found herself sitting and hanging out with 4Minute while the Men’s Korean Wrestling preliminaries were going on. The first match consisted of Jin going up against BTOB’s Changsub as Armies chanted ‘Kim Seokjin’ for support.

“Let’s go Jin! Use them shoulders! USEEEEE THEM!” Jen cheered and began doing his traffic dance, making ARMY cheer.

Jungkook giggled with Taehyung and pointed at her to get Jin’s attention. Jin looked pleased with her dancing and gave her a flying kiss which she dramatically caught and put in her pocket for safekeeping.

“You guys are so cute with your gestures. It’s nice to see you and the boys get along so well.” Sohyun said when Jen sat back down.

“I know. One big crazy family. They drive me nuts but I love them.” she replied.

She watched closely as the match began. Her heart dropped as Jin managed to remain on his feet when he was slightly lifted. But in the end, he was taken down. Despite his loss, Jen still cheered for him and his efforts.

The next match was Taehyung going up against Eunkwang.

“My baby V!” Jennie shouted. “Woo! Atta boy!” she looked on happily when he quickly placed him down.

Tae’s speed was no joke. It was so sudden as ARMY was screaming for him. Lastly, was Jungkook facing Minhyuk. This was crucial because they were the ones who would decide who would advance to the next round.

“Nini, I think Jungkook is looking at you.” Sohyun pointed out.

Jennie noticed Jungkook smiling in her direction. She returned his smile and mouthed, ‘You got this’ as it gave him an extra boost of confidence while walking up to the circle.

The 4minute members squealed at their little gestures, grabbing onto Jennie.

“That was so cute~!” Jiyoon swooned.

“Hyuna told us that you two started dating. I ship!” Jihyun added.

“Jennie and Kookie sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!” Sohyun started singing. “First comes love, then comes marriage-“

“Hush!” Jen tried to get away from them while they continued laughing but got stuck in a group hug by them.

As the match commenced, Jen watched as the two went back and forth, trying to trip each other down. It made her heart rate quicken as they were equally matched. As a result, Jungkook fell on top of him to win.

After the rest of the matches, Bangtan went into the semifinals for wrestling. Before things got started, Teen Top and Bangtan were interviewed and Taehyung mentioned Jennie.

“Ennie.” Taehyung turned and pointed to her, making her smile. “She gave me advice during training so I will use what she told me to continue to win. She gives me strength and she is a supportive friend. Jennie, I will work hard.”

That brought cheers to be heard around the arena, with Taennie shippers swooning over the moment. She had given him advice on using his speed. Although he was small and may not look as strong as his opponents, she suggested he use his speed as an advantage. It seemed like he had been doing exactly what she said, making her proud of him.

The first match was Taehyung going up against Teen Top’s L.Joe. As soon as the whistle was blown, he slammed him down quickly, earning a point for his team.

“Yasssss!” Jen jumped up and down, cheering. “Go V!”

After Taehyung left the ring, he turned to her, smiling brightly and giving her two peace signs, which she returned. 

She then made eye contact with Jungkook and narrowed her eyes, nonverbally saying, ‘Do not mess this up. You better win this.’

The Golden Maknae smirked in response, nodding as he went up to the circle. His opponent was Teen Top’s C.A.P. The match was fast paced as they were stumbling all over the place, seeking to get each other down but in the end, Jungkook managed to trip him down, landing on top of him.

‘That’s my man.’ she grinned.

For the final round, Bangtan went against VIXX. Jen stood with the rest of the members to watch and cheer the boys on. The first contest was Jungkook vs Hyuk. Starting, the two were much more intense than the last matches that were shown.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!” she exclaimed, watching the action. 

Jungkook was putting up a good fight as he was occasionally lifted up but managed to keep his balance. Then, he managed to lift him up and bring him down.

“YES!” she shouted, jumping up with Taehyung. Once Jungkook met up with them as the members patted him on the back, she went to high five him. “I’m so proud of you!”

Jungkook chuckled softly, feeling good about the constant praise he was receiving from his group.

Next up was Taehyung going up against Leo. It was a back and forth match but in the end, Leo survived, taking Taehyung down. Once Tae went back with the members, Jen patted him on the back. Lastly was Jin and he would be the deciding factor if his team wins or loses. 

His opponent was Ken. Jin went on the attack first, aiming to trip him down but then ended up falling on his back, making VIXX the winners. Although Bangtan lost, the members were proud of their efforts and accepted the silver medal.

Backstage Jennie noticed a pattern that had been happening. It was like they did not want her to win. They took her out of the women’s wrestling at the last minute, which they didn’t give her a reason and decided that they only wanted her to play volleyball now. She was disappointed because she really wanted to wrestle again. The first time was fun, and she wanted her team to win.

Some Idols started to talk amongst themselves about JenKook once they saw them holding hands and even wearing matching Nike sneakers that Jen had given him when she came back to confess. Gossip went around fast both positive and negative. The two didn't pay it any mind and focused on themselves. 

Jen found herself talking with CLC’s Yeeun, catching up.

“I heard you got booted from wrestling. What the heck is up with the staff?” Yeeun asked.

Miss Bangtan sighed, “I have no clue but I won’t let that ruin my day.”

“Don’t worry, you would’ve kicked ass anyway. They were probably just nervous to wrestle you since you’re that good. So, care to tell me about you know who?” she nudged her.

“You know who and I are very happy.” Jennie smiled. “We spent Valentine’s Day together. I created this cute little video game thing for him. It was nice.”

“Aw. So adorable! You look happy. You know who can’t stop talking about you, either. He had this big smile on his face when he happily answered questions about your relationship with Yugyeom.”

“Word is traveling fast, huh?”

“Well after you know who kept holding your hand and smiling at you backstage, I’m sure that got idols talking. And you know this is the spot where we can all kinda get to know everyone and secretly date. Has it been hard keeping it a secret from the public?”

“Not really but we still want to be careful. We'll announce it when we're ready. Just gotta make sure to avoid Dispatch,"

“Dispatch is the worst! Please be extra careful,"

“For sure.”

“And be aware of some of these girls that try to make moves on your man. I saw some eyeballing you know who not too long ago.”

Jennie chuckled, already mentally prepared for the nonsense. “Not surprised. Who?”

“Some of those chicks from that new group in WM Entertainment. I dunno their names but just keep a lookout and keep your guard up.”

“I’m actually supposed to be going up against them in volleyball.”

“Wow, this keeps getting better. Just keep a close eye on them. I’ll do the same. They seem so sketchy. They need to stay in their lane and back off guys who are happily dating someone. It’s very annoying to watch.”

“Thanks for the heads up, Yeeun.”

“Anytime, girl.”

“You’re having a comeback soon, right? Excited?”

“Very! Our song High Heels will be released around February. Can’t wait!”

“Me either. I know it’s going to be good.”

“Yeeun! We need you!” Sorn called out from across the hall while standing with the other CLC members.

“I’ll see you later hon. Good luck out there!” Yeeun hugged her and met with her members.

“Hey, stranger!” Jackson picked Jennie up for a big hug, making her laugh.

“Jackson! I missed you!” she got set down.

“I missed you too! All the guys do! We need to plan something to hang out again. Bam Bam’s been asking about you. Been busy huh? All boo’d up now?”

The sound of Bam Bam’s name made her sad. She hadn't seen him since that day. And she felt bad since he really liked her.

Jackson noticed her mood shift and placed a hand on her shoulder. “Hey.” he gently spoke, “He’s happy for you. Don’t worry. He’s excited to see you. Everything is fine, so turn that frown into a smile. He and Jungkook were just laughing their asses off at some memes they found not too long ago. And he playfully told Jungkook that he’ll kick his ass if he hurts you too.”

She chuckled at the image of that, boosting her mood. “Okay. I will. Where is he anyway?” 

“Let’s go find him.”

Meanwhile, other idols were talking about the new couple, JenKook. Comments consisted of:

“They go well together.”

“I agree, they’re cute together.”

“Why can’t I get a boyfriend already?”

“Who knew they’d be dating? So surprising.”

“Not to me, he crushed on her for a while now.”

“Jungkook is so handsome...sucks he’s taken now.”

“Lucky Jennie. I guess she asked him out probably.”

“I heard Jungkook liked her for a while now.”

“You think they’ll last?”

“I kinda think they will last.”

“We said this about Taeyeon and Baekhyun but they broke up. I dunno if they’ll last but I wish them the best.”

“I hope they remain strong together. We’ll see once they start going through stuff. They’re still at the start of their relationship stage. Wait until that dies down and they start to go through real couple problems.”

“I’ve seen some girls watching Jungkook. So rude of them, right? He’s taken yet they want to try to make moves.”

“Hahaha, some guys were so disappointed when they found out Jennie is dating Jungkook.”

“Jungkook is so kind and sweet. I hope she doesn’t take that for granted or anything.”

“About time they started dating!”

Once Jen found Bam Bam backstage, she let out a breath before approaching him. A lot went through her mind. Jackson said things were fine but were things really fine? Was he still bummed over her choosing Jungkook?

“Bam Bam.”

He turned around and his eyes softened once he saw her. “Jennie!” he shouted and wrapped his arms around her. “I’ve missed you!”

“Missed you more.” She hugged him back. 

She didn’t know how much time passed as they stood there hugging for a while, not wanting to let go. Finally pulling away, they looked at each other.

“Ah...don’t look at me like that. Smile you!” He chuckled and put his hands on her cheeks. “Congrats to you and Kookie. I was just talking to him. I made sure to let him know that if he breaks your heart, he will deal with me personally.”

She laughed. “Thank you. We’re fine. Don’t worry.”

“Good. I’m just happy that you’re happy. As long as that smile is on your face, then I’m good.” 

Bam Bam wasn’t as bummed as he was when he first decided to let her go since he knew deep down Jungkook was the one for her. He was feeling much better than before and things were still the same between them. 

“You hear about the nonsense of me being ejected from the wrestling matches?” Jen spoke up with a frown.

“Yeah, I heard! Ridiculous! Did you ask why?”

“They wouldn’t give me a solid reason. I’m just so confused about this. Like I trained and everything and now the opportunity got taken away.”

“I think it’s because they see you as a threat and don’t want you to win. If you were wrestling, you would’ve taken those girls down for sure.”

She smiled at his words. “You’re probably right.”

“I remember how nervous the girls looked when you took that one girl down within a few seconds. I’m sure they were intimidated. You take this more seriously than the majority of them since you love being competitive. Don’t change. Ever.”

“Jennie, time to get ready for volleyball,” Sejin informed her as she nodded and turned back to Bam Bam

“We’ll be cheering you on. Kick ass out there.” He put his palms out low and she slapped them down. 

She did the same as he slapped her palms down and then he lifted his palms up in front of her so they could slap hands again.

With the WM Entertainment girl group, a few members were not pleased to hear that Jungkook was taken and that he was dating Jennie. Some idols even gossiped that he downgraded and wondered why he wasn’t dating anyone near his ideal type.

“And wasn’t she called up very early and spent the least amount of time as a trainee? I bet those other trainees that Big Hit have are sick to their stomachs that she gets to do all these things that she doesn’t deserve.” Nari rolled her eyes.

“I know...and she gets to date a hottie like him? This is ridiculous.” Yumi replied.

“Ugh, I waited too late to tell him I like him. Now she’s in the picture.” Hinata grumbles. “I still can’t believe this is actually real.”

“To be honest, I don’t think it’s going to last,” Naru added.

Hinata rubbed her temples. “It better not last.”

She shrugged. “Yeah, maybe it’s just a little fling going on and they’re just messing around.”

“I wish it was me instead of her.” Hinata sighed. “You think that butt of hers is fake? She probably got surgery. Like a Brazilian butt lift. Because there is no way her body is real.”

“I bet she did.”

Yumi nodded. “I know right? And he’ll get tired of her soon and then you can finally make your move.”

“Do you think she gets around?” Naru pondered.

“I dunno but I wouldn’t be surprised. She’s still here after all this time.”

“Ugh, he’s so cute and I really like him. I’m jealous that she stole him away. I was going to try to talk to him today, too.” Hinata exclaimed.

“Hey, you still can. Try to talk to him when Jen is playing her volleyball game.” Naru suggested.

Hinata nodded in approval. “Not a bad idea.”

The girls stopped gossiping when they saw Jennie putting her hair in a high bun, already dressed in her volleyball attire for the upcoming game.

“Hi, Jennie!” Hinata smiled.

Jennie looked at them through the mirror and smiled. “Hey! How are you, guys?”

“We’re good! It’s nice to see you. You look pretty.”

“Thanks! Let’s have a good game out there, okay?”

“Sure, sure! So...are the rumors true?”

“What rumors?”

“You know! You and a certain Golden Maknae. Everyone keeps talking about it. The Golden Couple!"

“Oh.” she immediately smiled and felt her face warm up. “Word travels fast with the idols, huh?”

“Are you really dating Jungkook?”

“Happily, yes.”

The disappointment was evident in her voice, “So, this wasn’t a joke?”

“Nah, sis. Why would it be?”

“I dunno...it just seems weird.”

“How is it weird?”

“You’re not even his ideal type.” Hinata narrowed her eyes.

“I most certainly am, last time I checked,"

“We’re just surprised he would be into a girl like you. You two seem like a weird couple.” Yumi said.

“Huh. And you sound big mad.” Jennie calmly replied and placed her comb and brush in her bag.

“Us? Mad? You wish.” Naru laughed bitterly.

“Wooooooow...the shit is just dropping from that mouth of yours. Bullshit everywhere.” she replied bluntly.

“Excuse me?” Naru snapped. “With that horrible personality of yours, I wonder why of all people he decided to date you when you’re nothing special.”

“To you. But to him and myself, I’m way more than special. And yeah, of all people he chose me. You can’t be happy for someone without being bitter?”

“You know Jennie, you just keep giving me reasons why I don’t like you,” Hinata responded angrily.

“Oh, I know. I heard the fake-assness in your voices when you strolled in here after talking mad shit.” Jennie replied with a shrug.

The girls were taken aback by her accusation and stammer, “We were not talking any shit-” 

“After dealing with Amity, I can tell from a mile away, so don’t lie to my face. So, what have you been saying behind my back? Oh, I don’t deserve him? Is my ass real? Why me of all people that he chose? What does he see in me? Oh and this is my favorite, does she get around and sleep with various guys?”

“So, what if we did? We were only speaking the truth.” Yumi scowled.

Jen let out a dry laugh and shook her head. “It’s sad when women try to tear each other down like this. Always competing and being bitter. This is why my friend circle is currently small,"

“This is all the facts that we're saying about you. We all don’t like you. You’re very annoying and loud. Everyone rolls their eyes when they hear that bothersome voice of yours.”

“Look, I don’t care what you think about me. I can be as extra and loud as I want. So, shut up, and let’s try to have a good game out there and keep it cordial on the court in front of the cameras.”

“Suit yourself.” The girls and were about to leave when Hinata walked back up to Jennie. “Although I wonder...what if someone looking like his real ideal type tells him they like him? Let’s say that person is IU. I bet he’ll dump you and go to her in a heartbeat. And I bet Jungkook is only dating you because his friends made a bet.”

Jennie exhaled and turned to her, unamused. The stare she gave her caused Hinata to take a step back, intimidated. 

Naru, however, grabbed Hinata back and spoke, “This little puppy love is not going to last, Jennie. We give you until May. I’d keep a careful eye on Kookie. Someone else may catch his eye. See you at the court, little miss Golden Girlfriend.”

After the girls departed, Jennie started laughing and shook her head, turning back to the mirror. 

‘Mind games before the game, huh?’ she thought. "How ridiculous..."

Just wait until she gets on that court...

Walking out of the dressing room, Jungkook approached her with a bright smile but dropped his smile when he noticed that something was wrong.

“Hey, what happened?” he asked softly.

Jennie chose to let him know what just occurred in the dressing room with the girl group she just encountered, laughing it off, saying it was just a bunch of nonsense.

However, it infuriated Jungkook that they would think of horrible things like that. And what agitated him the most was that they assumed he was only dating her because of a bet. They will never understand what he went through to be in this position with Jennie. How he poured his heart out to her in the hotel room.

“What we have is not a bet, Jennie,” he responded firmly. 

The sincerity in his voice made her heart flutter because she knew how much she meant to him. No one can take what they have away from them.

“I know. It’s okay. I’ll handle them. They’re just trying to get in my head and make me doubt our relationship. Stupid stuff that is not going to work. Mind games before my game,"

Pulling her in his arms, he hugged her tightly and put his chin on her head. Just being in his arms gave her the comfort she needed as she began to forget about the drama that occurred. He kissed her forehead and pulled away, giving her a bright smile.

“Don’t even worry about them. Focus on beating them in volleyball. Hyungs and I will be watching and cheering you on. So, show them why you were victorious during the last ISAC.”

Jennie teamed up with a few Twice members to take on the girl group for volleyball and some Oh My Girl members. She stood on the court, talking strategy with her teammates until the members of BTS and Got7 began yelling and cheering them on, making them laugh.

“JENNIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!” Jimin yelled.

“MUNCHKIIIINNNNNN~!” Hobi shouted.

“THAT’S MY BABY~!” Jin proudly screamed.

“ENNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!” Taehyung shouted.

“SMARTIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE~!” Yoongi screamed.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOO GIRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!” Bam Bam hollered

“WEEEEEEEEE LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~!” Jackson yelled

“LETS GET ITTTTTTT~!” Mark shouted.

“Oh, my GOD! I get it!” she laughed at them, amused.

Namjoon, Jungkook, and the rest of the Got7 members felt second-hand embarrassment as they chuckled to themselves, shaking their heads at their members for acting this way. They were so extra every time she performed. But this was Jennie they were talking about. They loved to see her in action.

As the announcers called out each teammate, Jen got an exciting reception from ARMY. She smiled shyly when she looked up to see her face plastered on the screen. The announcers showed a montage of her dominating performance from the last ISAC with volleyball and believed she would win again.

“Jen-Walker! Jen-Walker! Jen-Walker!” ARMY chanted her name. 

Miss Bangtan responded by showing a heart on camera, making fans scream.

Hinata stood on the sidelines, not in the match, and decided to take advantage of this opportunity by approaching Jungkook while Jen focused on the game. It was bold of her to do this, but it was nothing like getting inside Jen’s head to throw her off her game and make her team lose. Perhaps she could prove that she can’t focus while having a boyfriend and show that Jungkook is more interested in someone like her instead.

“Jungkook!” Hinata called out and bowed to him as he politely bowed back. “You were so cool in your wrestling matches!”

Meanwhile, with Jennie who spiked the ball for a point, the crowd cheered loudly as she high fived her teammates. Her smile dropped once she saw who Jungkook was with and something in her made her blood boil.

Was she really trying to shoot her shot? She trusted Jungkook. She had no issues there but it was making her mood go south that Hinata couldn’t just back off and show some respect for their relationship.

A few of her teammates noticed how she began to spike the ball harder and harder with aggression, too.

The fact that Hinata attempted to flirt with him began to piss her off. And JenKook shippers watching the show noticed and jokingly talked about how Jen looked like she wanted to kill her and wipe the floor with her face. But little did they know this was all true.

“Your boyfriend seems a little occupied with Hinata don’t you think? I wonder if they’re kissing right now.” Yumi taunted, standing in front of Jennie as the net was the only thing blocking them from each other.

Fed up, Jen decided to tackle Yumi to the floor, making her yell in shock as she began punching her in her face. Loud yells of commotion surrounded Jennie as she kept hitting her, letting out her frustrations while Yumi tried to block her hits but to no avail.

Back to reality (You wished that was real, huh?) After pondering about kicking her ass, Jen was still standing in front of Yumi with the court separating them. 

It wasn’t worth hitting her. It wasn’t worth giving these girls the energy and she decided to focus on the game instead and ignore the smart ass remarks. It would be unfair to Bangtan and the rest of her team if she did a stunt like that. She wasn’t a violent person and she refused to stoop to their level. She’ll handle them and get them back another way.

Nonviolently.

Meanwhile, Jungkook began to get annoyed with Hinata and continued to focus on Jennie. He began to move away from her and Hinata didn't take too kindly to that. She was annoyed that his attention was fixated on Miss Bangtan. 

‘Why won’t he look at me?’ she huffed and crossed her arms.

Sensing Jungkook needed help and began to sense what was happening, the 95 Liners took matters into their own hands. 

“Jungkookie! We need to talk!” Jimin grabbed a hold of him. “Excuse us!” he smiled and took him away with Taehyung, irritating Hinata even more.

“The hell was that? Annoying woman trying to ruin my damn ship. Not today, you won’t!” Jimin grumbled.

“I know, we just started enjoying our ship, we aren’t letting this go any time soon,” Taehyung added while Jungkook thanked them.

With Jennie, spiking the ball again, Naru managed to walk right to the ball and let it hit her face as she dramatically fell to the floor, holding her face in pain.

“Ow! She hit me!” she exclaimed, causing everyone to look in shock.

“Are you okay!?” Jennie said in alarm as they all went up to her. 

Her stomach dropped as she looked at what happened. It all happened so fast, she didn’t even hit the ball as hard as she usually does. How could she be hurt by this? 

Naru kept pointing out that she hit her too hard with the ball.

“Wait, what? Are you serious? It was just an accident.” Jennie explained. “I’m sorry girl, but it was not my intention to hit you.”

“Jennie, you’re ejected.” The referee asserted.

The Twice and Bestie members looked on in shock while Jen turned to the referee, confused. “Wait. What?”

“You’re ejected.”

“But that makes no sense. I didn’t do anything wrong. It was an accident!”

“You used unnecessary rough tactics.”

“How?!”

“You hit her face.”

“It wasn’t even that hard! And it looked intentional on her part! It was like she walked to the ball to get hit. I would never try to hurt anyone on this court like this. Come on.”

“Jennie, exit the court.”

“Can you just let me explain-“

“Exit the court or your entire team will be disqualified. Abide my decision.”

“I-“

“Now Jennie. Why are you talking back to me?”

“Bangtan Sonyeondan’s Jennie has been ejected from the game!” An announcement was heard as ARMY and the rest of the crowd were not happy with what was transpiring in front of them. 

Jennie was a fan favorite for this event because she kept things lively and now she was getting ejected? The crowd disagreed with the decision.

A tremendous commotion occurred around the arena as fans were trying to figure out why the referee would make a decision so drastic as this. Even the idols were puzzled. Many were not happy with this decision, wanting to watch her play. 

Jennie scowled as emotions ran through her. She wanted to scream and she wanted to cuss somebody out. This was not fair. It was like they weren’t even listening to her. Not letting her get one word in. Not letting her say her side of the story and she was forced to respect what they say even if she disagreed. 

She hated it and she knew people were going to call her disrespectful for talking back to a referee that is her senior in Korea.

With the members, Bangtan and Got7 looked on with concern.

“Unbelievable...” Bam Bam shook his head, not happy at the ref’s decision.

“Is she okay!?” Mark asked.

“What is this!? Put her back in the game!” Jin exclaimed.

“Why is she getting taken out?” Hobi asked.

“I know! It looked like an accident.” Youngjae pointed out.

“This is some bullcrap! She shouldn’t be ejected.” Jackson angrily said

“Fuckin’ bullshit...” Yoongi grumbled.

“Something’s not right...” Namjoon murmured and walked away from the guys.

With Jennie, she ran her hands through her hair, sitting on the bench while her team began losing the lead in the game. On Twitter, ARMY was pissed at what was happening and wanted justice for her.

“Nini.”

A hand was placed on her shoulder and she turned to look up at Namjoon with tears, angry at herself.

“Do not lose your cool. Tell me exactly what happened.”

After telling him what happened since she was in the dressing room with the girl group members, she said, “She’s faking it and the officials are not listening to me when I say it’s an accident. And how can they let her still play and not think she was faking? She looks fine. I bet if it was the other way around they wouldn’t eject her. They treat me like I’m insignificant. I'm tired of this. I am not insignificant. I busted my ass to make a name for myself here. I redeemed myself from falling during that running relay the first year. I soared in wrestling and volleyball last time. I refuse to let them taint all my hard work like this,"

She stood up, continuing her rant, “They’re making me look like the bad guy, I did nothing wrong. And now here I am, dealing with another embarrassing moment. And here I thought tripping during that running relay the first time I attended ISAC was the most embarrassing moment I had here in Korea.”

“Will you just sit here and do nothing? Or will you guide your team from the bench?” he asked. “Don’t let these girls stop us from winning. Just because you’re out of the game does not mean your team lost. Turn this negative into a positive. You know what to do.”

Jennie nodded, taking his advice. He gave her a hug and an encouraging smile once he pulled away.

As the game took a brief time out, Jennie went to her teammates and discussed strategy, giving them pointers. They seemed discouraged now that she was out of the game since she was their star player but Jennie remained determined to lead them to victory. After watching the girls go back to the court, Jin and Taehyung approached her, giving her water and Smarties respectively to make her feel better.

“Thanks, guys.” she started to munch on her smarties.

“How are you holding up sweetie? I cannot believe that little girl did that. Like how dare she?” Jin shook his head, watching Naru play. 

"Just peachy," she replied.

Naru had a smug look on her face while playing as ARMY pointed it out online and began to call her out, making it trend on Twitter.

Hinata, however, kept taunting her from afar, which made Jennie start to slowly walk in her direction. 

Seeing this, Taehyung wrapped his arms around her from behind, lifting her up and turning her away from Hinata so she wouldn’t do something she would regret.

“Ennie. Stay here with me,” he murmured in her ear, squeezing her tightly while Taennie shippers went crazy over the cute moment. 

Her body relaxed into his as her annoyance went away.

"Turn this negative into a positive," he reminded her with a smile. "You got this,"

“Yeah. I will. I ain’t even worried anymore. It’s fine.” she said as she felt herself get released. 

Once Jin and Taehyung left, Jennie continued to encourage her team, acting like a coach standing by the sidelines of an NBA game. It looked like Onces was also praising her for how supportive and patient she was with Twice even if they weren’t as great in volleyball as Jennie. But she believed in them and that boosted their confidence.

“Nayeon! It’s all you!” Jennie shouted. "Smack it!"

Suddenly, Nayeon spiked the ball, making it hit the floor for the last match point. The crowd erupted into loud cheers while Jennie fist pumped.

“Atta girl!” she shouted happily, jumping up and down.

“YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!” Got7 and BTS celebrated their team win with Bestie cheering in the background.

Jungkook smirked and nodded in approval of his girlfriend’s efforts with coaching.

‘That’s my girl.’ He proudly thought.

Meanwhile, Hinata dropped her jaw, disgusted by the results while turning to Jennie to give her a glare with Yumi and Naru. In response, Jennie smirked victoriously and curtseys with her arms outstretched.

As the show went on, Jennie changed back into her regular ISAC attire.

“Let’s go J-Hope!” she cheered, watching him prepare for the first men’s 60m sprint event. 

Looking her way, he gave her a bright smile after hearing her words.

“Get ready! Set!” the announcer shot the gun and the guys dashed away but Lee Min Hyuk took the lead instantly with his notorious speed. 

For the second event, Jungkook was up to represent their team as Jennie and Taehyung massaged his shoulders, giving him a pep talk before he ran. After patting him on the back Jen watched him get to the third lane to prepare to run. 

She sat on the floor with Jin and J-Hope while watching the close running match as he was neck and neck with Woo Seong. They kept replaying it to see who won and it looked like Woo Seong got first place while he got second with a 0.03 second difference.

Things were going well for the show but what caught everyone off guard, making fans scream was when Jungkook lifted his shirt to show off his abs. Not expecting it either, Jen’s astonished expression became a relatable reaction to K-Pop fans. She also made her friends laugh when she grabbed a water bottle, chugging it quickly. JenKook shippers took it as a big JenKook moment, getting fanfiction ideas.

Making eye contact with her, Jungkook raised his eyebrows, he initiated another nonverbal conversation with her which was starting to become a common thing between them.

‘See something you like?’

She scoffed and rolled her eyes playfully, ‘You wish!’

He smirked. ‘You were staring, weren’t you?’

She shook her head. ‘I wasn’t.’

‘You sure?’ he tilted his head to the side.

She nodded. ‘Yep.’

‘You know...it’s okay to stare. I don’t mind.’

‘I wasn’t staring.’

‘You really liked what you saw huh?’

She narrowed her eyes, ‘Shut up!’

Deciding to tease her, he glanced back down at his clothed stomach and back at her, raising an eyebrow suggestively, ‘You want to see them up close when we go back to the dorm?’

‘Stop!' her eyes widened and she looked away quickly, covering her face.

A short laugh escaped his lips.

‘Cute.’ he thought.

Afterward, the crowd was screaming for Jungkook as he stood by, being interviewed.

“Bangtan has a song called Run, right?” he was asked as he started singing the chorus, capturing hearts everywhere. 

As soon as the gun was heard, the boys dashed away while everyone watched in anticipation and as a result, Min Hyuk won again. Lastly was the 400m relay finale. Bangtan was in this going up against VIXX, BTOB and BAP. 

Jimin, Taehyung, J-Hope and Jungkook were representing for their team. Once the gun was shot, everyone started running.

“Come on Jimin!” Jen yelled, watching him run past everyone and hand the stick to Tae. 

She jumped up and down in anticipation, cheering him on while BAP was close behind. Giving the stick to J-Hope, he dashed away as loud cheers erupted in the arena.

“Run Hope run! Run Hope Run!” she yelled as the announcers praised Bangtan for being fast and some began rooting for them to win. 

Lastly was Jungkook who received the stick and booked it, having a large gap between the rest of the guys. It was all over after that and as he got close to the finish line, he jumped over it, winning for his team.

-------

For The Boss Is Watching show, BTS and other boy and girl groups attended. The show was a survival show with various CEOs to watch over them to find out who was the best idol. This was supposed to be a fun time but Jennie was not in the best of moods.

She was so looking forward to filming for it but then at the last minute, the production team told her to sit out for the games that they would have.

What a surprise. 

They didn’t tell her exactly why but it crushed her mood regardless because she was especially looking forward to wrestling. She thought she could finally get the chance to do it unlike at ISAC but no. So, she sat all the way in the back with the rest of the members, wearing white while trying to be happy on camera. She bet this happened because of what happened during ISAC.

Nonetheless, she didn’t even want to be here. She thought this show was a joke and a waste of time. She would rather be back at the dorm. Not be bored, watching all this. She questioned the shows they make idols attend these days but she endured it in the end, speaking with her idol friends to help ease her annoyance.

Once filming began, one by one the CEOs from various companies came out as their respective groups cheered for them. As soon as BTS’ CEO, Kim Shingyu walked out, they stood up, hyped as they applauded him. When asked if he could sing a song, the members laughed when he said: “I need you girl” which increased Jen’s mood. 

After the introductions, the show began and Jen had a hard time enjoying it since she wasn’t that involved. She bet she wouldn’t even be on camera that much either. It just really sucked. Like why did you change your mind at the last minute to not let her participate in the games? Who did she piss off?

The first test was for strength as they started with the guys. Jennie immediately cheered for Jungkook when he went up to face a member of BAP. Once he took him down quickly, BTS was pleased to see him win. 

Catching eyes with GFriend, they gave Jen knowing looks when Jungkook won. 

“Stop staring at me.” she laughed at them.

For the semifinals, Jungkook took on UP10TION’s Kogyul. After a brief interview on what they thought of one another, hoping to win, they faced off. Everyone was stunned to see Jungkook quickly lift him up to take him down, using his strength to his advantage.

“Gee Wiz!” she exclaimed, standing up to clap with the rest of the members. 

She thought it was hilarious to see the baffled expressions of some idols who watched as he took him down.

“Jennie, does Jungkookie use his strength on you like that when we’re not around?” Jimin teased. 

“Jimin!” she yelled in a hushed voice, kicking him when sitting back down. 

He giggled with Taehyung and Hobi who overheard them. She even heard Yoongi chuckle a bit at his teasing.

“We’re pure people. An innocent, fluffy couple. Jungkook does not throw me on anything or use his strength on me.”

“But you want him to.” Taehyung teased while Yoongi snorted at her lie about being innocent.

Smacking Taehyung upside the head, she grumbled in a hushed voice, “No, I do not! Shut the heck up already!”

“And the lie detector determined that was a lie,” Namjoon replied, making her turn to him.

“Not you too!” She groaned, earning a laugh from him.

For the final round, Jungkook faced S.Coups from Seventeen. Jimin and Taehyung stood with Jungkook for support while the two opponents were interviewed briefly. After a back and forth battle, S.Coups managed to take him down for the win. Once Jungkook got situated, he went back to sit with the members, taking a seat next to Jennie.

Placing a hand on his back, she rubbed it comfortingly while the GFriend members giggled and gushed at their skinship.

“I’m proud of you, Kookie. You were great out there.”

“Ah, but I lost...” he sighed.

“Doesn’t matter. You’re still a winner to me. You tried your best, that is all that matters.”

Jungkook’s back relaxed at her touch and words. 

“Thanks, Jagi.” he shyly nicknamed her with a smile.

‘Jagi.’ She thought as her face warmed up. 

She heard that word before. If she recalled, it was something that couples called each other. The fact that he said that to her made her feel warm inside. Love was making her feel all types of ways. 

When it was time to watch the girls wrestle, Jennie’s annoyance came back. She was so frustrated. Why couldn’t she wrestle too? Who made them change their mind?

“Ah, don’t feel bad smartie. We all know you would’ve won anyway so it’s okay.” Yoongi reassured her.

“Yeah...I guess.” she sighed as she watched the girls wrestle.

“Yeah, you would’ve beaten all their asses. That’s probably why they didn’t want you to participate.” Namjoon added.

“Yeah, they think you’re intimidating in wrestling,” Hobi mentioned, making her feel better.

After Jungkook performed his hilarious impression of Zion T, making everyone laugh, the next event was a game of luck. Two idols would stand under a balloon of water and there were three buttons to choose from. The one that did not choose the button that bursts the balloon would win. Jin represented BTS for the game and he went up against Jooheon. Thankfully after listening to the members, he made it out nice and dry while Jooheon got splashed. But for the next round, he decided to choose 2 on the first attempt and got splashed, saying not to trust the other team’s boss. 

The next game was a game of teamwork by playing a group chicken fight. It was entertaining to see everyone falling around and scrambling. She rooted for GFriend when they were up against Laboum, Brave Girls, Lovelyz and Twice. She even was shocked to see Hayoon using her strength to knock a few girls down. Jennie felt like a proud mom watching her kick butt. After the game, Laboum was the winners and then AOA won the entire next game.

For the guys, BTS went up against Monsta X, Seventeen and Teen Top. Yoongi, Jimin and Hobi represented Bangtan.

“Oh my gosh, they left my baby Chim Chim alone.” she laughed when Jimin was the last one representing Bangtan. “Evade! Evade!”

But once Jimin went to massage his leg, he got knocked down. “BRO!” she exclaimed.

Monsta X won the game which made Jen proud to see them succeed. For Group B, BAP advanced. Watching Monsta X and BAP was fun since they were both going hard and determined to win. Monsta X prevailed in the end and near the end of filming, it was revealed that Sonamoo had won, enjoying a trip to East South Asia.

When fans found out that Jennie wasn’t shown much in the show, they tweeted about it and Jennie had even liked a tweet that said, ‘Lol they just didn’t want Jennie to participate because they know she’ll win. They don’t want her to be great. They did her dirty.’

----------

Days later in the evening time, Jennie met Yoongi and Jin at a restaurant.

“I’m here!” she announced, walking to their table.

“Smartie. Finally, you’re here.” Yoongi greeted.

“Sweetie! Welcome to Eat Jin! Come! Come! Join us!” Jin gestured, taking his bag off the chair next to him so she could sit. “You finished your chores?”

“Yes, Dad! I finished my chores. I can’t believe you left without me like that. It wasn’t going to take that long to clean my room.” she sighed, getting comfortable.

Yoongi chuckled. “We started eating not too long ago, so dig in.”

“Oh, you’re on V-Live?” she looked at the screen. Smiling, she waved. “Yo! I miss y’all. I’ll do another live soon.”

“What were you doing today?” Yoongi asked.

“I was writing,” she answered.

“Lyrics?”

“Yep.”

“Your music?”

“Yeah, I got inspired so I started writing. It’s coming along. It’s crazy how someone can have such influence on your creativity, giving you inspiration for stuff.” she replied, thinking about Jungkook.

Being in love was a crazy thing and she couldn’t help but write lyrics on how she felt about being with him.

“Ah...cute,” Yoongi murmured, getting the hint she was talking about Jungkook.

“SO! What are we eating?”

“Today’s menu is beef brisket and galbi jjim.” Jin answered, fixing her a plate of food and placing it in front of her. “Eat as much as you like. I want to see you eat a lot tonight. Don’t leave this table until I say so.”

“Yes, Jin.” she snickered and dug right in, devouring the beef.

“Isn’t this such a great agency? Giving us meat because we want it.”

“Yes, it is. I always ask them for smarties and they took over ordering them for me. I love it.” 

“This is not a surprise,” Yoongi replied. “I was telling Jin earlier that we should eat eels next time.”

“Eels? I never had them. My dad loves them though. He always eats them when he can but I never asked to try some. Eating eels sounds interesting. I wouldn’t mind trying it.”

“Your dad and I will get along well. I want to eat some with him. Let’s make that a plan very soon.”

“What have you been up to lately besides writing lyrics?” Jin asked, handing her a wrap to eat.

“Gaming. Jungkook and I were playing Smash a few days ago.” she recalled and began munching on the wrap.

“You two keep gaming like your lives depend on it. Why not show Army the games you play since you two are fun to watch when you get angry or frustrated.” Yoongi suggested.

“So, you think Jungkook and I should make a Twitch channel and stream once in a while if we’re free?” she pondered.

“Why not? Army, do you think that’s a good idea?”

Looking at the screen they saw the viewers were eagerly interested in a JenKook Twitch channel since they enjoyed watching them together. Their chemistry and competitive nature would be a treat to watch. And JenKook shippers would get their JenKook fix too. Win/Win for fans.

“Okay, I’ll talk with him and see what we can do. That’s not a bad idea, I think it’ll be fun.”

“Here.” Jin picked up a big piece of meat off his plate and fed her. 

Before Jen could ask him to make more meat, he already had food ready and placed more food on her plate. It was like he just knew the right time to feed her which made her grateful. Armies even loved to see how much he cared about her eating well.

‘OMG aren’t you full Jennie??’ one comment was read.

Seems like a large amount of food she was eating bewildered some fans but Jin continued to proudly watch her eat to her heart’s content.

“Am I full?” she read. “Nah, I’m just getting started!”

"Why is she eating so much?" she also read. “Because I can and I love food. I wasn’t aware there was a limit to how much food I was eating. This healthy weight is great. And this food is great. We need to eat this again.”

"It's good to see her eating well. Let her eat," Jin defended.

"Yeah. Smartie can eat to her heart's content. Don't question why she is eating a lot," Yoongi spoke up and she thanked them. “You still working out?”

“Yep, I’ve been focusing more on my legs now. I have been appreciating my legs more. They’re getting so toned, I’m so happy about it. Hard work is paying off.” she grinned.

“Just know your legs aren’t as nice as mine.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah.” She rolled her eyes, chuckling.

“You have sauce on you.” Jin grabbed a napkin and wiped her mouth. “There. Much better. Here place a few napkins on your lap so you won’t get food on you.”

After he did that, she continued to eat, feeling nurtured by him. Jennie focused on her food while Yoongi and Jin talked amongst themselves. She would say a comment here and there during the live.

“Suga, how is Jennie’s rapping coming along?” Jin asked.

“Don’t ask.” she groaned.

“She’s doing well. She just doesn’t give herself enough credit. She still has a while to go but she is improving a lot. She just needs to learn more about her technique so it can be clearer.” Yoongi replied. “You’re doing well, Smartie. Don’t think that you aren’t.”

“You really think so?”

“I’m not repeating myself.”

She laughed. “Thanks.”

“We need more water for this.” he pointed out and turned the heat off. 

Grabbing a bowl, he poured it on top of the stove but the three of them flinched once they heard a popping sound from the heat and water.

“Please do aegyo.” Yoongi read. “Want us to do aegyo while we eat? No way.”

Hearing Yoongi say that made her snicker while Jin briefly did some aegyo. Jin then made a wrap for Yoongi and aimed to feed him while Jen laughed.

“What are you doing? Why? I don’t understand.” Yoongi replied over Jin’s laughter and then took a bite while Jin talked about how it’s been a while since he fed him.

Near the end of dinner, the three finished eating the last few pieces of their meal, stomachs happily full. They then asked ARMY for suggestions on Eat Jin’s next episode and said bye to the fans.

--------

That same night Namjoon hung out in Jennie’s room, preparing to be her guest for another episode of LetsPutMakeUpOnSmartie with Destructive Rapmon~

Once the video started, Jen and Namjoon waited a few moments until a large number of viewers came. When it did, she began to speak.

“YOOOOOO! WHAT IS UP!?” she loudly greeted. “It is your favorite Bangtan girl, J to the E double N I E and with me today is our beloved leader of BTS, Rap Monsta! Say hello to our viewers!”

“Hello!” Namjoon waved and smiled.

“All right, you guys know what time it is. Today we are here for another episode of Let’s Put Makeup On Smartie. My gosh, I survived the first episode with V, making me look like a clown, so hopefully, Rapmon makes me look somewhat decent.”

“You sound scared.” he teased.

“I am, not gonna lie.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t make you look crazy like V did.”

“I’ll take your word for it.”

“Okay. Stay still and let me make you beautiful.” he grabbed some eyeliner as she closed her eyes.

Unaware, Namjoon began to place eyeliner all over her eyes and once he was done, he grabbed lip gloss. Opening her eyes, Jen looked at herself in a small mirror.

“Wait...what did you use?”

“This.” He innocently showed her the eyeliner.

“Dude, this is eyeliner. Why are you putting eyeliner on my eyelids?”

Namjoon looked bewildered as he saw that he messed up. “This is eyeliner? I thought this was eyeshadow!”

“BRO! No! They are so different from each other! Are you sleepy?!”

"I took a nap earlier!"

"It looks like you need to take another!"

“U-uh-okay-okay uh don’t panic. I got it. I’ll change it.” He grabbed a makeup wipe, grabbing a hold of her face as she cringed. 

Wiping her eyes, he started over but it looked like the damage was already done as the eyeliner was smeared around parts of her face, thanks to his wild wiping.

The stubborn pout/annoyed expression she had on her face made viewers laugh and think she was cute. When he continued, viewers commented on how poor of a job Namjoon was doing thus far.

“Crap, I messed it up.” he cringed at the uneven wing he was trying to draw for her eyeliner.

“I don’t even want to know what you messed up but keep going,” she replied with her eyes closed.

“Don’t worry, I’ll fix it.” he attempted to but made it worse. 

Giving up, he grabbed the mascara to put on her eyelashes. He managed to do well with that without any issues and went for the foundation and beauty blender. Suddenly he squeezed too much foundation and ended up squirting it all over the place, making a mess. Including landing on her pants, table, and floor.

“Uh oh.” He cringed.

“What do you mean uh oh?” she demanded.

“D-don’t open your eyes. Everything is under control.”

She opened them to witness her foundation all over the place. Blowing out her cheeks, she kept her composure.

Why did she agree to this?

“Namjoon...that is the new foundation that I just got in the mail a few days ago and I only used it once!”

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’ll buy you more!” he tried to clean up the mess. 

Afterward, he applied what was left on her face but viewers noticed he was putting too much, caking a bunch on her that was not needed.

“I just feel the extra makeup smeared on my face. A little goes a long way,” she whined. 

“I can fix this, don’t worry.”

"We’re past worrying! I’m frightened to see the final product,” she responded as he laughed.

“I heard you might do a Twitch channel with Jungkook. Yoongi told me he suggested it. I think you two should go for it. Army will really like it.”

“I think I will. I’ll bring it up to him one of these days when I don’t have anything else going on. It’s like every time I want to ask him, it crosses my mind because I’m distracted with other stuff.”

“It be like that sometimes, Nini,” he replied and grabbed an eyeshadow palette, examining it. “Oh, what’s this?”

A loud snap was heard seconds later which made Jen open her eyes again and scream over the broken palette in his hands.

“HOW!?” she yelled.

“Uh...I-I can fix that.”

For the finished product, her face had smeared eyeliner and caked up foundation. But at least her mascara and lip gloss looked nice. She didn’t know who did better with her makeup. Taehyung or Namjoon.

OK after this Bangtan Gal chapter, I'm going to edit and post more Forced to Believe chapters.

I'll make sure to post a bunch of chapters for it this time! Stay tuned! Thanks for being so patient :) have a great day!

Forced To Believe Chapter 50- What Are You Doing!?

Chapter Summary: The Shield take on The Wyatts but tensions run high when Seth Rollins leaves his team high and dry

Words: 6,000+

--------

The Shield were getting ready and Morgan walked over to them. 

"There she is." Seth grinned. "Ready?" 

"Yeah." She glanced at Dean before bumping fists with Seth and Roman. 

Seth and Roman noticed the tension between the former lovers and cleared their throats. 

"Can I talk to you? Alone?" She looked at Dean. 

He nodded while Seth and Roman gave them privacy. 

"Look...we need to be 100 percent focused tonight. We can't let our issues get in the way of this war. We'll deal with our situation later. For now, we really need to work together to bring the Wyatts and Rosa down. Okay?" She put her fist out. 

He smirked at her fist and nodded before bumping his fist against hers. She didn't want to fight or argue with him. 

"Right." he replied.

"Good. Keep a cool head." 

"I think I should with you around." 

"Heh. Good to know." 

Morgan tweets '#TheQueenOfTwirls is about to be a team player and put her body on the line to win. #ItsWarTime #NoRegrets' 

In the ring, The Shield stared down Rosa and The Wyatts who stood at the end of the ramp. The Chicago crowd starts chanting 'This is awesome!' 

The Wyatts and Rosa make their way to the ring but then Dean and Seth hit Luke and Erick with a suicide dive as the crowd gets hyped. Rosa tries to distance herself from The Shield members but as soon as she turns to the ring, she's hit with a diving clothesline by Morgan as the crowd cheers. 

"And here come The Shield!" Cole shouted. 

Morgan slides back in the ring while Roman hits Bray with a Samoan drop in the ring. He throws Bray out and high fives her while the ref tries to regain control. After things get settled, Morgan and Rosa start off the match. 

"And The Queen of Twirls is gonna start things off with The Stunning Latina," Cole said as the bell rang and they circled around each other. 

Rosa flips her hair and starts trash talking. Deciding to piss her off, Morgan mocks her hair flip.

"Excuse me!?" Rosa shouted but got kicked in the stomach as she fell down on her knees. 

The Outspoken Diva smirks before giving her another cocky curtsy. Rosa shoots her a glare and stands up but gets speared. She starts uploading on her with punches, making the crowd cheer. 

"They're all over each other!" King shouted as Rosa tried to scratch and claw her way to gain control. 

The ref manages to break it up and as soon as Morgan gets up, Rosa hits her with a swinging neckbreaker and pins her for a two count. 

"Come on, grapes!" Seth cheered as Rosa put her in a twisted bow & arrow submission. 

She puts her knee on her midsection and holds her leg and head to stretch her. 

"Come on, Morgan! Give up!" Rosa yelled as the crowd tried to motivate her. 

"Bending her like a pretzel!" King exclaimed. 

She releases the hold but puts her in a crossed armed surfboard.

"This is painful," JBL said but then Morgan managed to headbutt her from behind, making her release the hold. 

She begins to fight back and hits her with a handspring back elbow smash.

"Both divas trying to make a tag." JBL continued and then Morgan tags in Seth while Rosa tags in Luke. 

Seth hits Luke with a splash off the turnbuckle and a one leg dropkick. Luke begins to fight back and tries to hit him with a high risk move off the top rope but Seth lands on his feet as the crowd 'Ohs'. Morgan grins as he throws Luke out the ring and dropkicks Erick off the apron. He runs and hits Luke with a dive over the ropes and lands on his feet. 

"That's what I'm talking about, bro!" She cheered. 

Seth slides back in the ring as The Shield points to Erick. He dives on top of Erick outside the ring and lands on his feet again, getting hyped up. 

"This guy is amazing!" JBL shouted. 

Luke runs and goes in between the ropes, only to be kicked in the head by Seth. 

"That put a big smile on the face of Roman Reigns," King said as Roman was grinning at his performance. 

Rollins gets on the top rope but Bray gets in the ring. Dean gets in the ring and starts beating on him as it distracts Seth. Moments later, Dean gets thrown to the ropes. 

"Oh no!" Morgan exclaimed as Seth lost his balance and fell off the top rope. 

Dean and Bray get back on the apron while Roman tries to get Dean to explain his actions. Luke throws Seth into the barricade as Morgan cringes. Moments later she starts to get angry as The Wyatts gained the upper hand.

Seth kicks Luke in the head and crawls over for a tag. But then Dean gets off the apron to talk trash with Bray. 

"Dean!" Morgan exclaimed and got off the apron with Roman as soon as Seth tried to make a tag. 

Roman pushes Dean back and tries to calm him down. Erick gets tagged in but gets hit in the face on the middle turnbuckle. The Shield gets back on the apron and Luke hits Roman with a big boot to the face, knocking him off as the crowd boos. Ambrose tries to hit Luke while Luke taunts Ambrose. 

Having enough, Morgan decides to get on the top rope and hits him with a diving clothesline as the crowd cheers. 

"Look at Morgan!" King shouted. 

"Do something! What!?" She taunted and got back on the apron while Luke rolled out the ring.

"That's not fair! DQ her!" Rosa yelled.

"Shut up!" Morgan yelled back.

Seth tries to go for a suplex on Erick but Luke slides back in the ring. Roman slides into the ring and grabs him for a suplex while linking arms with Seth to help him out. 

"What is going on?" Cole asked as Bray got in the ring to try to interfere but then Dean grabbed him for a suplex while linking arms with Roman. 

"Are they going for a triple suplex!?" King exclaimed as the crowd got excited. 

"Aye! Don't have all the fun!" Morgan said and got in the ring as soon as Rosa tried to interfere. 

She grabs her for a suplex hold and links her arms with Dean. 

"They're not gonna do this..." Cole said but then the crowd chanted 'Holy shit!' as soon as The Shield give The Wyatt Family and Rosa a quadruple suplex. 

"Aw, man! A quadruple suplex! Ha ha I love it!" JBL said. 

"Booyah!" Morgan yelled and high fived her teammates before getting back on the apron with Dean and Roman. 

Seth tags in Dean while Rosa, Bray, and Luke get back on the apron. 

Brie tweets 'I thought a triple suplex was good back in the day...a quadruple suplex is even better! #Teamwork' 

Nikki tweets 'I'm starting to believe! #SuplexOfJustice' 

Dean jumps on Erick and starts unloading on him. 

"Dean Ambrose just seems a little bit out of control here tonight." King looked on. 

"Ya think? The Wyatts are doing everything they can to get Roman out of the ring." JBL said 

Dean begins to take control and hits Erick with a dropkick to the knee. 

"Stay on him." Morgan supported while Roman and Seth were at ringside, resting. 

He puts Erick in the Figure Four as the crowd starts 'Wooing'. Morgan begins to grin when Dean puts the lock on tight but then Luke breaks it up by hitting him in the midsection. Roman gets back in the ring and starts hitting him and Luke falls out of the ring. 

"Referee! Referee! Referee!" Bray yelled as he tried to get the ref to stop Roman and Luke from fighting. 

Luke gets thrown into the timekeeper's area as the crowd cheers. Bray gets tagged in and slams Dean down on the mat as the crowd 'Ohs'. Bray taunts the crowd and turns to Morgan as she scowls at him.

"This is what you wanted? This is what you want?" He pointed at Ambrose's beaten up body. 

She begins to grip the ropes tightly as he gets on top of Dean and starts beating him with punches. Moments later, she begins seething as he hits Dean with a stomp in the face. 

Roman gets back on the apron. He glances at Morgan's angry expression and starts to show a smirk on his face. She was getting motivated and that's what The Shield needs in this match. Dean begins to get controlled by The Wyatts and Morgan does not like it one bit. She did not like watching him get beaten up like this. 

Nikki tweets 'It looks like WWEMorgan101 wants to scream. I can see the frustration on her face.' 

The Outspoken Diva runs her hands through her hair and starts pacing on the apron while Dean is in a submission by Erick. He pulls on his beard and escapes the hold but gets hit with a sidewalk slam. Luke gets tagged in and he hits Dean to the ropes. Ambrose falls back in between the ropes and comes back by hitting him with a lariat as the crowd cheers. 

Morgan begins to look relieved and watches as he goes for the pin. Rosa breaks it up and she gets in the ring, attempting to clothesline her but Rosa ducks. 

Roman gets in the ring and goes for the spear but Rosa jumps out of the way. As soon as Morgan turns around, she gets speared by accident. She lands on her neck as soon as he hits her with the spear and rolls over, face first on the mat. 

"Spear! Spear on Morgan! Again!" Cole yelled as the crowd chanted 'Holy Shit!' 

The Bellas tweet 'Oh my God! WWEMorgan101 landed on her neck! Is she OKAY!?' 

Celeste tweets 'Took that spear like a champ. I really hope WWEMorgan101 is okay. Edge and Trish Spear 2.0!'

"Morgan! Are you all right!?" The ref yelled and went to check on her to see if he needed to signal the WWE Doctor.

Seth, Roman, Dean, and Rosa widened their eyes at the way her body moved from the spear and that was not supposed to happen and it made everyone look worried. 

Milena (Rosa) put a hand over her mouth, breaking character a little. "Is she okay?" she murmured.

"That was hard to watch," Cole said as they showed Roman's spear to Morgan 4 times. 

"She landed on her neck!" King screamed in a high pitched voice. "Is she okay!?" 

Melanie grunted. That almost gave her whiplash. "I'm okay." she signaled as everyone began to look relieved.

She already knew her mom was probably screaming at the TV as soon as she saw that spear. 

"Amazing." Milena sighed out of relief. 

Melanie rolled out of the ring while Joe slid out of the ring to check on her. She was sitting down, leaning on the barricade, holding her neck. Thankfully there was no pain. But that was scary how she flipped.

"You okay? I'm sorry," He said as concern was shown on his face. 

"It's okay! I'm fine, I'm fine." She reassured with a smile. "I hope I didn't botch the spear." 

"Nah, but you gave us all a scare there. I didn't think you'd land on your neck like that. I'm glad you're okay." 

"Yeah, no worries." She smiled at him and he got back on the apron. 

Jon turned to Melanie, who was lying down in the ring, checking to see if she was okay. She gave him a reassuring smile and he started to look relieved. He smirked and gave her a wink. He admired her heart in the ring.

Dean tries to go for the tag as Roman gets hit off the apron by Bray who was tagged in. But then Dean plants him with a DDT as the crowd gets hyped. He slowly starts to crawl his way towards Seth but Seth doesn't put his hand out. He just gives him a blank look. 

Morgan watches Dean crawl over to him and drops her jaw as soon as she sees Seth jump off the apron. The crowd 'Ohs' and gets excited as some stand up to this exciting and shocking conflict. 

Morgan frequently starts to shake her head. "No...no...what are you doing...? What are you doing?!" She yelled at Seth while Dean slumped over the ropes in disbelief. 

What the hell is going on!? Why would Seth leave Dean hanging like this? It made her panic. This was not supposed to happen. This could not be happening. 

"Wait a minute..." Cole said as the crowd gave Seth mixed reactions. 

The crowd starts to get louder as Seth begins to walk to the ramp. 

"And Seth Rollins has no interest and I think Seth Rollins is walking out of here!" Cole shouted.

"What!?" King yelled. "You're kidding me!" 

"I'm not sure you can blame him after the things that went down earlier tonight." 

Morgan manages to get up and catches up to Roman who walks over to Seth at the middle of the ramp while Ambrose watches.

"Seth!" Morgan's voice cracked. 

Her heart was starting to break. She could not believe he would walk out on his teammates. After all they've been through? After all the times he's kept peace in the group? 

Seth averted his eyes from her. He couldn't bring himself to look at her. He was starting to feel conflicted with his decision. 

Roman looks back at Dean and then at Seth. "What are you doin'?" he asked, breaking Seth from his thoughts. 

"I can't be the glue to keep this together! You two weren't there for me I reached for the tag!" Seth yelled as Morgan started to get angry. 

"Are you kidding me!?" She shouted. "You asshole! What are you thinking right now!?"

"You're the glue!" Roman yelled.

"You three, figure it out. You three, figure it out." He continued to walk up the ramp. 

"Seth!" Morgan shouted.

"What are you doing, man? What are you doing!? This isn't the game plan!" Roman yelled as Dean managed to get up from the ropes and looked at Seth walking up the ramp. 

He gets hit with a splash by Bray. Morgan snaps her head to the ring as Dean gets dropped and pinned. She runs her hands through her hair. So many emotions going through her right now. 

She and Roman run to the ring as Roman breaks up the pin. He drops Erick and Luke and cleans house until he gets hit with a big boot by Luke. Roman rolls out the ring while Morgan is on the apron, looking worried. 

Bray begins to laugh and hits Ambrose with a running senton while he grunts out in pain. The Outspoken Diva puts her hands over her mouth as Bray looks at her and laughs. 

"This is what happens!" Bray yelled. 

He picks Dean up for the Sister Abigail. 

"Dean, no!" she screamed as Bray stopped himself from kissing his forehead. "Don't hurt him, leave him alone! Fight me!" She yells as the crowd cheers. 

"Yes! She cares!" JBL said with hope as the crowd cheered loudly for her.

Bray throws him down, near her. 

The Bellas tweet 'She just screamed. #MorganCares!' 

Morgan tags herself in and slowly gets in the ring while Dean rolls out the ring. She exhales and looks a little worried as Luke, Rosa, and Erick get on each side of the apron, surrounding her. 

"This is what The Shield has done ever since they debuted," JBL said. 

Morgan turns her head to look at Seth with a disappointed look as he continues to stand on the ramp and do nothing. Seth's heart starts to ache as he watches her in the ring, alone, but he is trying to prove a point. 

The Philly Diva looks back at the Wyatts while Bray gives her a stern look. 

"You will pay for your sins, rose..." he demanded as he took a step closer. 

She sinks down to her knees and looks at the mat while Bray laughs again. 

"I'm all alone..." Morgan mumbled and clenched her fists.

"Morgan! Don't give up!" King shouted.

She looks around and closes her eyes. She exhales and opens them before slowly standing up. 

'One...two...three...four...' she looks at each opponent, thinking to herself. 'This isn't like Survivor Series...this is much more dangerous and harder...I can't go after just one person...they'll jump me...I can't just lunge after Rosa because they'll grab me...I need to do something quick and offensive...I can't run away now...this is risky, but I need to do this...if Seth won't help out and try to save this match, maybe I can. It's worth a shot.' 

The crowd begins to chant her name while Luke, Erick, and Rosa slowly get in the ring to surround her. 

"They are gonna eat her alive," JBL said with worry. 

Morgan decides to make a bold move and run towards Bray. He tries to clothesline her but Morgan yells "Whoo!" as she ducks and turns around to hit him with a spinning kick in the face. Erick runs over to her but Morgan begins to drop The Wyatt Family and Rosa with clotheslines. She starts striking them with spinning kicks to the face as they keep getting up to get hit again. 

The Bellas tweet 'This is like an action movie. WWEMorgan101's hair is all over the place, flowing in the air. #Heroine' 

She throws each opponent to each corner. 

"Let's go!" She yelled as the crowd cheered her on. 

"Look at her go!" Cole yelled as she hit each member with a handspring back elbow smash. 

"Whoa!" King exclaimed as Roman got back on the apron. 

"Look at her go!" JBL yelled as Roman began to grin at her performance despite having Seth leave them hanging. 

"Atta girl!" Roman cheered. 

Luke and Erick roll out of the ring as Morgan gets on the top rope and hits them with a diving crossbody. She slides back in the ring and jumps on the other slide, hitting Bray with a suicide dive. 

"She's running all over the place! Is she out of breath?" King exclaimed. 

"Must be on an adrenaline rush," Cole said.

Nikki tweets 'Uh oh, I think WWEMorgan101 is having a little #GrapeRush.' 

Celeste tweets 'Whoo! Keep kicking ass WWEMorgan101! #ThisDivaCanFly' 

Rosa was left in the ring, looking on in shock.

"This cannot be happening!" Rosa yelled as Morgan got back in the ring. She turns around and is about to run but bumps into Roman's chest. "Get out of my way!" She slapped him across the face as the crowd 'Oohs'. 

"Big mistake," Cole said but then Ambrose grabbed her from behind. 

"No! No!" 

Erick gets back on the apron but Morgan runs and dropkicks him. 

"Morgan!" Dean yelled. 

She turns around and he throws Rosa towards her. She spins around before striking her with a roundhouse kick in the face, dropping her down. 

"Roman, Morgan, and Dean are holding their own tonight!" Cole said with amazement. 

Dean and Morgan sets Luke on the middle ropes and hold him down. Dean motions to Roman and he runs to hit Luke with a one leg dropkick.

"Oh, man! Harper!" Cole exclaimed as Roman roared. 

Rosa manages to get on the top rope and as soon as Roman turns around, she jumps. He catches her in a powerbomb hold as the crowd gets hyped. 

"Uh oh! She's caught!" Cole shouted.

"I got this!" Morgan said and got on the top rope. 

She jumps off and hits Rosa with a clothesline, making her drop down on her back. 

"She clotheslined Rosa!" King shouted.

"This is starting to get chaotic!" JBL yelled as Morgan rolled out of the ring. 

Dean starts unloading on Bray in the ring while Erick runs towards Morgan at ringside.

"Whoa!" She yelled and evaded him. 

She gets back on the apron and kicks him in the head, making him stumble. Then, she takes him down with a diving clothesline. 

Erick stumbles back, near the announcer's table. 

"Oh look out guys! Look out!" Cole yelled as Roman spears Erick over the announce table.

Meanwhile, Dean gets hit with a big boot by Luke. Luke hits Roman with a suicide dive, making him fall over the table. Morgan gets back on the top rope, about to dive on Luke but Rosa runs back in the ring and pushes her off. Morgan lands right on the table, breaking it as the crowd 'Ohs' loudly and starts chanting 'Holy Shit'. 

"No! Morgan! She just got pushed off the table!" King yelled. 

"Rosa! What were you thinking!?" JBL yelled as Morgan looked hurt. 

Rosa grins at what she's done and blows her a kiss. 

Celeste tweets 'WTF Rosa!? Are you fudging kidding me!? Pushing her off the top rope!?' 

Brie tweets 'Oh my gosh! Morgan! Are you okay!?' 

"Oh my God! I told you it's Armageddon!" Cole yelled. 

Ambrose jumps on top of Luke and starts beating on him but then Bray throws him to the steel post. He falls face first as Morgan manages to sit up. Rosa gets out the ring and grabs her by the hair. She throws her inside the ring while Bray, Erick and Luke get in the ring. 

"Oh no, this is not good. Morgan held her own for a while but I don't think she is gonna be able to escape Bray's wrath." Cole looked on with worry.

Erick and Luke grab her arms as she tries to escape. 

"Get off of me!" She yelled. 

"Seth! Help her!" King shouted. 

Seth watches on and continues to do nothing. He starts to get tears in his eyes as he watches her suffer. 

"You wanted this!?" Bray yelled. "You did this to yourself! You shall pay for your sins!" 

Rosa hits Morgan with a hard kick in the face as the crowd 'Ohs' from the impact. 

"That was brutal," JBL said. 

Morgan holds her right eye in pain as she grunts.

"Morgan's hurt. Something's wrong." King said with worry. 

She touches her face near her right eye and sees blood coming out. Rosa's shoe must have cut her open near her eye. 

"This is crazy!" King exclaimed. "Morgan is defenseless!"

Nikki tweets 'This is too much! A four on one assault!?' 

"Reigns is out...Ambrose is out..." Cole looked on.

"Nobody is safe," King added. 

"Morgan is in the ring, left for dead while Rollins continues to do nothing," JBL shook his head. 

"Oh no Morgan's bleeding!" King panicked as she tried to get up. 

Blood was starting to cover most of the right side of her face which caught the audience's attention. 

"Rosa made her bleed?" Cole asked. 

"That kick," JBL informed as the titantron showed Rosa's kick. 

Morgan touches her face again and sees a large amount of blood on her hand. 

Bray grabbed her face. "I didn't want this rose! This could have turned out better!" 

Suddenly, it was like a switch went off of her and the Outspoken Diva started laughing in his face, making the crowd cheer. Tilting her head to the side, she gave him a crazed look. "This will not be enough to break me. Do your worst,"

Looking amused, Bray releases her as she gets grabbed again. This time, Luke hits her with a big boot to the face as she drops down again. 

Brie tweets 'This is hard to watch...Why aren't you doing anything, Seth!? #HelpYourSister' 

Bray does his signature pose near the corner. He then laughs and grabs her for the Sister Abigail position. 

"Seth Rollins is watching all this." Cole looked on in disapproval. 

"How can Seth Rollins just stand there and watch his teammates, specifically Morgan go through all this?" King asked. 

Bray kisses her forehead and hits the Sister Abigail on her. Rosa grins and turns her over to pin her while Morgan turns her head to the ramp, looking in her groggy eyes, at Seth who continues to stand there and do nothing. 

"1!" 

"2!" 

"3!" 

Seth runs his hands through his hair as The Wyatts and Rosa pose around Morgan's body. 

"You gotta wonder what's going through Seth's mind," Cole said. 

"He's conflicted," King replied. 

"Is he second guessing himself for what he did? Does he feel bad because he left his teammates here, high and dry? So many questions that need to be answered." 

"Seth just stood there and watch his teammates get beat," JBL added. 

The Wyatts leave the ring while Seth leaves the arena. 

Roman and Dean start to recover and they see a badly beaten up Morgan face first on the mat. They help her out of the ring as the crowd cheers for them. They put her arms around them and help her walk as her face is still bloody. She is very groggy and stumbles before Dean and Roman catch her. 

"I have never seen Morgan this beaten up before. This is just...wow..." JBL said. 

The crowd starts to clap for The Shield and begins to chant Morgan's name. 

"You've gotta give it up for Morgan. She knew the risks and still decided to fight back." Cole said as the commentators agreed. 

"And the crowd is letting her hear their appreciation for her efforts," 

"So much heart..." King said. "Win or lose, Morgan is starting to earn the respect of the crowd." 

Brie tweets 'WWEMorgan101 took one for the team. Amazing match!' 

Chyna tweets 'Beautiful job WWEMorgan101! Let no one bring you down. Keep getting back up and fight!' 

Celeste tweets 'Amazing performance by WWEMorgan101! Loved every second of it! You have so much heart in the ring! #KeepGettingBackUp' 

Stone Cold tweets 'Respect for WWEMorgan101. Great performance out there. #KeepingMyEyeOnYou'

Joe and Jon help Melanie backstage.

"We got you grapes. Don't die on us now." Joe joked while Melanie managed to chuckle. 

She felt kind of groggy from all those attacks and the bleeding made it a little worse. But overall, she loved the match and was glad she continued the match even though she was bleeding. 

"How bad is my eye?" She mumbled. 

"You're bleeding more by the second. I think Milena's boot must have scraped your face and hit your eye." Jon answered. 

"I look like a hot mess..." 

"You look like you've been in a real wrestling match." Jon countered. "Just like old times. CZW vibes,"

"Heh. Yeah. Thanks." 

Moments later, the WWE officials and some of the roster begin to cheer for The Shield and Wyatts for their performance. 

"I'll carry her to the trainer's room. Here we go." Jon picked her up bridal style and walked her over to the trainer's room. 

Before Melanie was examined, she took a photo of herself. 

She tweets 'I can get beat up but I'll always get back up and fight back even harder. Not enough to take me out. You didn't finish the job. #WarWound' 

Melanie was examined by the WWE Doctor. She had some time before her next segment for the night as The doctor cleaned her face and fixed the small cut near her eye. She was told that she may get some bruising on her right eye since she was still feeling some pain. The doctor also checked her neck since she took a nasty fall from Joe's spear. Luckily everything was okay. 

"You should call your mom. You may have given her a scare." Jon said and gave Melanie her phone after the doctor was done. 

"Jeez, over 15 missed calls." She dialed up her mom's number and she answered on the first ring. 

"MELANIE! Are you okay!?" Jane screamed.

Melanie winced in pain from the loudness while Jon laughed. "Yes, mom, I'm fine."

"Thank goodness! You did wonderful out there! You scared me to death when you landed on your neck!" 

"I know, I guess I landed weirdly. I thought I botched the spear by it just looked more painful to watch." 

"It was! Fans will be talking about it for a while! I am so proud of you!" 

"I'm proud of myself too. Thank you," 

"I know you have a segment to do but I am just happy that you're okay. I love you!" 

"I love you too!"

"You were badass out there." Jon smiled and kissed her on the forehead after she got off the phone. 

"Thanks. You too."

"Take a nap. I'll tell you when it's our cue for the Backstage Fallout." 

"Okay."

'Backstage Fallout' 

Roman, Dean, and Morgan were walking backstage in a foul mood. Dean kicked some equipment nearby as Tom followed them. 

"Excuse me uh, Dean, Roman, Morgan, can we get-" Tom began as Dean motioned him to go away. 

"Get out of here, go." Dean turned around and so did Roman and Morgan.

"Can we get a word, real quick?"

"No, not at all, go."

"We just saw uh, Seth Rollins leaving the building," Tom said as it caught their attention.

"What?" Morgan asked. 

"You saw Seth?" Dean stepped up to him. "You saw Seth Rollins? Where was he? Where was he?" He pushed him. 

"Hey, hey, calm down." she put her hand on Dean's chest, making him back off. "Where did you see Seth?"

"He was leaving the building," Tom answered. 

"She didn't ask that. She asked where was he." Dean retorted. 

"I'm gonna ask you this one time..." Roman began. 

"Parking garage?" Dean asked. 

"I'm gonna ask you one time." Roman stepped up to Tom. "Where is Seth Rollins?" 

"WWE just saw him leaving the building over there," Tom answered. 

"No, no, no, I didn't say stutter, I said tell me where he is. Your future depends on this one, where is he at? You point in the direction and you go the opposite way." 

"He's gone...he's half way through Detroit by now." Dean shrugged. 

"Morgan, what are your thoughts?" Tom managed to ask as The Shield looked at her. 

Breathing heavily as her emotions were getting too much, she began to break down, crying, and ran away. Ambrose and Reigns called out for her as the cameras quickly followed her while Kane watched her run past.

"Morgan! Calm down!" Kane ordered and made a bunch of refs follow her to make sure nothing bad happened.

He did not want to hear or see another rampage from her.

With Morgan, she stopped running and ran her hands through her hair. She was so distraught about Seth. 

All of a sudden, she spots him quickly putting his bags in his car and opening up the door. He must have requested Tom to tell a little white lie to buy him some time to leave. 

She wiped her tears. "Going somewhere?" She called out as he turned around in surprise.

"Morgan..." Seth sadly said. "Look..." 

"You son of a..." She glared at him and began marching up to him, angrily. 

She tried to hit him but he grabbed her forearm. She tried to hit him with her other hand but he grabbed her other forearm. 

He released her, gently pushing her back. "Morgan­-" 

"You son of a bitch!" She screamed and slapped him in the face. She began beating on him with tears running down her face. "You son of a bitch! I trusted you! I trusted you!" 

Her screams got louder while a bunch of referees came to restrain her.

Rollins watched her with a pained expression. "I..." He trailed. 

"You were supposed to be my brother! What kind of brother walks out on his sister like that!?! You don't walk out on your team no matter what! Why!?" Her voice cracked as she began to get escorted out of the parking lot. "We were supposed to stick together!"

Rollins got in the car and locked his doors. He gripped the steering wheel hard and placed his forehead against it. 

"I'm trying to prove a point...I'm sorry, Morgan..."

------

During Smackdown, Morgan was beyond pissed tonight. One...she was mad at the refs taking her away from Rollins. Two...she was not done with Rosa. Not after what she's done. She got lucky because of the Wyatts. When she's alone, she'll regret everything. And three...Seth is gonna be in the hot seat and better give some answers to his actions on Raw. 

She was pretty banged up. She landed on her neck when her teammate accidentally speared her, she got thrown onto a table, and she got a small dark bruise on her right eye all thanks to that sinister kick from Rosa. She wasn't the one to blame others, it was mostly her fault. She should have focused on the match more and let Roman try to handle Seth but shock overcame her. She would never guess Seth of all people to walk out on The Shield. 

She just wanted answers. 

She put on her fingerless gloves and saw Ambrose approach her. 

"Roman and I are ready-what happened?" he looked at her face in concern.

"It's nothing...just a bad bruise"

"No, it's not nothing." He lifted her chin before caressing her face to check out her eye. 

She put one of her hands over his hand. "Look...I'm fine. It'll heal. Okay Let's just go," 

-------

Dean, Roman and Morgan were in the ring. Morgan's small black eye was very visible to the camera. 

"Morgan took a nasty beating on Raw. She held her own for a while but the Wyatt Family and Rosa were just too much for her to handle." Cole informed. 

Before Dean had a chance to talk, he stopped as the crowd began to chant Morgan's name. She smiled at the crowd with appreciation as the commentators talked about her performance on Monday. 

After the chants died down, Dean exhaled. "We can handle getting beat up, we can handle getting hurt, we can handle physical pain, that's no problem. I don't know about you two but there's one thing that I can't handle. What I will not tolerate, what will keep me up at night, and that's being lied to, by somebody that I trust. And I feel like we've been lied to, for the last 18 months. You see I was under the impression...that The Shield had each other's backs. Evidently, Seth Rollins didn't our back on Monday Night Raw. He walked out on us, in the middle of a war!" Ambrose did his neck roll. "So we're not much for talking right now but uh, Seth Rollins, we know you're here since you called this little 'Summit' all right? So why don't you come out here and say what you're gonna say? Huh? Tell me something, tell me a story, tell me a lie, make an excuse, say something after all the wars we've been through!"

Morgan's face showed irritation as she continued to listen to Ambrose speak, "You better come out here and explain yourself before this war begins, and judging by the look on Roman's face...you got about 30 seconds... But by the look on Morgan's face...you got about five seconds."

Seth slowly walked out near the stage and walked down the ramp. He walked up the steps slowly and got on the apron to stand before his teammates. 

"Before you open your mouth..." Roman muttered. "I hope you thought really hard about what you got to say. And it better be good." 

"All right, look...I get it...leaving you three to fight The Wyatts and Rosa, three on four, on Monday night, maybe wasn't the opportune time to prove a point." Seth said. "But what you don't understand is that the war isn't with the Wyatts. The war is within us all right? Look it's no secret that The Shield hasn't been The Shield for some time. But I did what I always do Monday, I sacrificed myself for the greater good so that we can get ourselves on the same page!" 

"You sacrificed!? Oh, Seth sacrificed himself. I didn't realize you were making such a sacrifice when you left us for dead against The Wyatts and Rosa, all right? Look there's a big difference between what you did and what we did. Morgan sacrificed more than we all did combined! She got a black eye because of you!" Dean yelled. "We fought off, you walked off!" 

"Look, look at you guys. You're all on the same page. You're seeing things eye to eye. Don't you get it? I'm proving my point! I'm already halfway there." He got in the ring. 

Morgan grabbed a mic as the crowd cheered. "I don't care if I got a black eye. It'll heal." She reassured Dean and turned to Seth. "That's not what's bothering me right now...that's not what's hurting me right now...what's hurting me is my heart because I thought my brother was supposed to be there for his sister." 

Seth looked down at the mat at her words. They stung. "Look­-" 

"I thought my brother was supposed to look out for his sister." 

"Mor-­"

"I thought my brother could be trusted." 

He gave her a sorrowful look. "...I never meant to hurt you grapes...it was hard to watch-­" 

"Bullcrap...If it was you should have done something!" She yelled but quickly calmed down. "You know what? I...am so tired of getting stepped on and jumped by the same Barbie dolls over and over again. A cheap shot I can handle; a loss I can handle...but jumping? Four on one assault while Dean and Roman were down and out? I fended for myself as long as I could but it's getting really old to beat the crap out of the same pathetic faces, like Rosa, that I have to see everything I step into this area. But you know what bothers me? You. You standing there when a group of people don't have the balls to face me one on one and jump me...do you know what you've done to me? You stood there... you watched me get beaten...you watched and saw me bleed...how could you stand there and do nothing?" 

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 74- King Of Masked Singer

Chapter Summary: Jennie stars in King of Masked Singer and gets surprised when one of her favorite artists is one of the judges for the show. Jennie encourages Taehyung with his acting

Words: 5,000+

----- Hobi, the birthday boy, watched TV in the living room until Jennie walked in with the rest of the members with a baked cake and lit candles. Jimin recorded in the background as they watched his eyes light up and smile as they sang Happy Birthday, screaming and cheering. They smeared icing on his face as he laughed and got fed a bite of the cake by Jennie.

"Wow, this is really good! You made this yourself?" he asked.

"Yep!" she grinned.

"This is great!"

He opened up his little dancing birthday box that she made in green and happily read her note: 

'Happy birthday you bundle of joy! Thank you for always being the one to make me laugh and cheer us all up whenever we're down. Your hard work has not gone unnoticed. Ever since I came here, you have inspired me to be a better dancer and I thank you for those countless days of you helping me with my craft and telling me to actually dance and not hold back.

Because of you, I feel like a better performer and BTS would not be the same if you weren't here. Please keep this energy that you have. I'm looking forward to more goofy moments with you! I love you and you will forever be my hope!

Love, your munchkin

"Ah, I love this! Jennie, you're so sweet!" he pulled her in for a hug and kissed her cheek multiple times as she laughed.

Later that night, Jen had asked the Hyung line if they wanted to try the face masks that she had gotten in the mail and they all agreed. They washed their faces and relaxed in the living room while she prepared the masks.

"Stay still," she said while carefully placing the mask on Jin's face.

"So, is this supposed to make me even more handsome?" Jin asked. "I never used these masks from America."

"No one said you were handsome." Yoongi snorted, making everyone laugh.

"This is how you treat the oldest, huh?" he grumbled while Jennie finished placing it on his face.

She then moved to Namjoon, Hobi, and Yoongi before applying it to her face as well and they all relaxed.

"The fuck? Ow!" Yoongi shouted and fanned his face.

"Why is my face feeling like this?! What did you do to my beautiful face?!" Jin yelled.

"Huh!?" Jen stared at them in confusion

"Are you trying to ruin my face!?" Jin exclaimed, getting defensive

"The heck are you guys talking about!?" Jennie shouted back.

"Why is it burning!?" Hobi whined

"The fuck is this shit, Smartie?" Yoongi shouted

"This burns!" Namjoon complained

She looked at them, bewildered, "It burns? It's just a face mask, why are you yelling?"

"Are you trying to prank us?" Namjoon accused.

"What!? No!" Jen asserted. 

"Then why aren't you freaking out with your face mask!?" Hobi yelled

"Because I'm not a big baby like all of y'all!" 

"We are not babies! This hurts! Why is it burning!?"

"It's supposed to sting a bit, it means it's working!"

"You're lying! Yours isn't burning!" Jin wailed. "Why are you doing this to me!? Were you so jealous of my handsomeness that you wanted to ruin it? My face feels like it's melting!"

"Your face is dirty! It's cleaning it! Jeez!" she rolled her eyes. "Suck it up! I didn't do anything to it. It's just a face mask, calm down."

"This mask makes me look so ugly, why did I agree to this?"

"But that's how you look every day," she joked, causing the rest to laugh at him.

"E-EXCUSE ME!?" Jin sputtered. "No Korean beef for you!"

"Wait, I'm sorry!"

------

The next morning, Jennie had put on her Captain America outfit with a big Captain America mask on, prepared to appear on King of Masked Singer. The mask fully covered up her face and she made sure to cover her entire body even under the costume. Her hands were also covered to avoid any detection of who she was. If the audience caught a glimpse of her melanin, they would know it was her.

"Nervous?" Sejin smiled as he noticed her twiddling her fingers. 

He sat next to her in the car as they were on their way to the building for the show.

"That obvious, huh? Yeah, very nervous."

"You sing very well and you work very hard. You will do well on the show. Don't be nervous."

"Thanks, I needed that."

Once arriving at the place, she was filmed walking backstage as she politely bowed and greeted the camera as her voice was disguised. It seemed like forever for the show to start. And before she knew it, she was called out on stage to stand next to another person in disguise. She had been called a goofy nickname which was Captain Singer as the MC made introductions.

'Okay, I can't just leave the stage. What are my other options?' she thought. 'Ugh, I feel like I have to pass out...why does my stomach have so many butterflies? This should not be happening when I am about to sing. Breathe...breathe...breathe...BREATHE!'

Here she was, on the stage with another contestant to perform a duet on King of Masked Singer. An honor this was. To be a part of this show. It was exciting, and Jen wanted to show her vocal skills without dealing with people focusing on how she looked instead of her talent. Despite striving to last until the end, another part of her couldn't wait to unmask herself to see everyone's reactions. 

Will they assume it's her when they hear her sing?

Will they be happy? Will they be surprised? Will they even care? 

Endless possibilities of how this could go but all she wanted to do was show how much she had improved. She knew she was ready. She knew she could do this. But as soon as she looked up to see who was with the judges, she almost dropped her mic.

Ai-friggin-lee was sitting right there, with a bright smile, anticipating what the contestants had to offer. 

All those motivational words to keep her nerves at ease went out the window. 

Ailee was here!

Right there by those seats. Jennie was about to sing in front of someone that she had looked up to for years. And ironically Jennie had chosen to sing nothing but Ailee songs for this show. Now you mean to tell her she has to sing in front of the person who originally sings the songs?

'Why? Why is this happening? I am not prepared for this. Why? WHY!?' Jennie whined in her head.

How was she going to do this? How was she going to be able to sing in front of the woman she admired and looked up to as a vocalist?

Jen had picked U & I and I Will Show You to sing today if she advanced to the next rounds. She told herself she would cover her songs once she felt like her vocals improved. And now that they did, it looked like fate wanted to give her the ultimate test by singing in front of Ailee. She'd be lying if she didn't think this was intimidating. It was a bold risk to sing a song in front of the person it was written for. Not a lot of vocalists did this. But why not make a statement and come off strong? 

At the end of the day, Jen trusted her vocals and the work she put into preparing for this moment. No matter how far she gets today, she will be happy that she took that risk.

As soon as Round One started, Rihanna's Diamond came on as Jennie expertly listened to the other contestant's voice to figure out what pitch she should sing so they could harmonize. But damn, was he good.

'Gosh, this guy sings so well.' she thought. 

And his English was great as it impressed the judges immensely. But she needed to focus on the song and not everyone's reactions. When it was her turn, she sang out strong without her voice getting shaky this time when she used to practice.

I knew that we'd become one right away. Oh, right away.

At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays.

I saw the life inside your eyes

"So shine bright tonight," she heard the guy sing.

"You and I." she joined in

The judges stared at each other in surprise at how their voices danced with one another. Jennie wanted to make sure not to overpower the other singer and that seemed to have caught the judges' attention as they murmured to themselves.

"Harmony is clearly one of their strengths."

"Right pitch and everything, made my ears tingle, I love it."

After the song, the contestants were praised for their efforts and talked about how hard it would be to vote because they both sounded well.

"Okay, I have to ask...is that Rihanna under there? Does Rihanna know Korean?" a judge asked as the crowd laughed

"Maybe." Jen teased and shrugged with her disguised voice. 

If that was what they were thinking of who was under the mask then she'll take it. 

"I just want to say to the one wearing the Captain America outfit that I just love your voice," Ailee spoke with a bright smile, making Jen's stomach drop. "I am so eager to hear more from you and I'm very curious to know who you are. I can just hear the passion in your voice. I love it so much!"

Jennie wanted to cry right then and there. She was JUST complimented by her fav. She praised her for her vocals. That was HUGE. She wanted to yank off her mask right there and thank her for everything and tell her how much she loved her but she stopped herself.

Jennie decided to bow. "Th-tha-nk you so much," she replied in a shaky voice with her voice going up an octave due to the nervousness of speaking in front of her. "It's an honor hearing that from you. I'll continue to work hard."

The votes were in and it was an extremely close one which shocked the crowd.

49 votes vs 50 votes

That brought a lot of tension to the studio as they wondered who got it. It made everyone extremely nervous. Once they revealed who it was, they announced that Captain Singer would advance to the next round which shook Jennie as she placed a hand over her heart. She then waited until Round 2 as she was back on stage. She was asked questions on how she was feeling about advancing to the next round and then prepared for her stage.

Round 2

With the mic in her hand, she exhaled. She thought of herself back during the Rookie King filming. That Karaoke segment with the guys. How she explained in an interview that she wanted to touch people with her voice just like Ailee does. How she loves Ailee's smooth voice with such powerful instruments. That she hopes to be as good as her one day. How she claims that her life would be complete if she was able to meet her and ponders if she would love to share the stage with her in a collab.

"HHHHHHheeeeeyyyyyyy~" As Soon as Ailee's U & I came on and she started strong, the entire crowd lit up.

"Whoa~!" the crowd immersed as they glanced at each other before moving and dancing around. 

Meanwhile, the judges dropped their jaws and turned to Ailee when they realized that she was singing a judge's song right in front of the judge. They were not expecting that kind of note to come out of Captain Singer.

Dancing around and clapping her hands with the crowd to get them moving, that nervousness went away and Jennie decided to have some fun on the stage. 

Ha! Cut the beat now! 

Wait a minute, wait a minute

"Oh my gosh!" that bright smile on Ailee's face didn't go away as she stood up with the rest of the judges. She covered her mouth as she continued to watch.

Jen had everyone dancing due to her charisma as the judges pondered which idols had similar strong stage presence. While the entire crowd was dancing as she did a little of the choreography with it, the judges were in conversation with one another.

"I was not expecting this! Wow!"

"We need to figure out who this woman is."

"You sure that's not Ailee?!"

"I'm right here!" Ailee laughed.

"Do you have a secret child or something?"

"No! Hahaha."

It made Jen happy to see that her voice was making people go crazy and dance around. What really touched her heart was how thrilled Ailee was as she kept encouraging her and even sang along to the throwback song.

"Wooo!" Ailee cheered. "Sing!"

Some guys had held their hearts while Ailee watched in awe at her high note. Once the song ended, the entire studio erupted into cheers while the judges continued to exclaim how amazing the performance was. Ailee had given her a standing ovation which made Jennie tear up as she quickly blinked the tears away.

"Wow! I am blown away! Phew!" Ailee laughed and shook her head in disbelief.

"The fact that this person sang an Ailee song and Ailee was the first person to be eager to want to know who is behind that mask...incredible." the judges talked amongst themselves.

"Did you hear that passion? Like I just can't believe it." Ailee turned to Captain Singer. "For you to have the courage to sing one of my songs like this, shows me just how passionate you are. I'm amazed! The way you interpreted the song, you really touched my heart!"

"Indeed," Another judge said. "Captain Singer, this must be nerve-wracking but singing a song in front of the artist it was written by...wow. It takes guts to sing a song from an artist that is right there. Wonderful job! Outstanding!"

"Yeah, I admire her braveness!" another judge praised.

Jennie bowed. "Thank you so much!"

"I just love the stability of your voice. The breath control was really good for this song even as you were dancing."

"Okay, WHO ARE YOU!?" one judge exclaimed desperately as the crowd laughed. "Can you give us a hint or something!? Because I have no idea and I am so curious!"

"I'm just a girl who loves to sing," Jennie answered. "Call me a girl who loves to sing and just wants to bring others together with her performance, not focused on how she looks."

Although she didn't make it to the third round, she was highly encouraged to sing one more song before she unmasked so she chose I Will Show You by Ailee to introduce herself, which shook everyone again.

"A-another song of Ailee!?" a judge exclaimed while Ailee continued to look intrigued, wondering why this person was so eager to sing her songs.

The song started as an instrumental of the first few notes while Jennie began to reach for her gloves to remove them. She felt a sense of empowerment when she took those white gloves off to reveal her dark skin. Black and proud, she heard the crowd begin to freak out when they started to put the pieces together. She reached for the back of the mask and began to untie it and then it fell off her face as everyone erupted into loud cheers.

"Wait! Wait! What!?" the judges yelled.

"Jennie!? MISS BANGTAN!? FROM BTS!? IS THIS REAL!?"

"I cannot believe this, there is no way!"

"I am mind blown that a voice could come out of her like that! I never knew she could sing like this!"

An amused smirk came across Jen's face before she looked and smiled brightly at everyone. She bowed and placed the mic in front of her, staring directly at Ailee. She then went on with the performance as she sang for the heart, giving people chills.

For the high note, the music stopped as she impressed everything with a long high note before going straight back to the chorus with the music coming back on. As the song ended, she was met with loud cheers.

"Hello! I'm Jennie from BTS," she announced to louder cheers as she heard a few BTS fans screaming.

The judges were asked if she was who they were expecting as they exclaimed how insane this was and had no idea it would be her under that mask.

"You're very brave for singing a song like this in front of the artist the song was made for. Were you nervous?" Ailee asked as she praised her.

"Yes! Very. I hope I did the songs justice." Jennie replied shyly, smiling brightly as her face heated up.

"How do you feel about your performances on this show?"

"I'm honored that I was able to make it this far, I'm proud of myself. I'm very happy right now." 

After the show with Jennie back in her casual outfit in the dressing room, Ailee walked in with a happy smile.

"Hi!" Jennie heard her speak in English and turned around, stunned. "Oh my gosh, it is finally nice to meet you in person!"

"Hi." Jennie exhaled, asking herself if this was real. "I-I, wow I-hi!"

Ailee giggled. "I am very proud of you, Jennie! I want you to keep doing what you are doing. I have been watching you for a while. I am just blown away by you singing my songs. It means the world to me that you admire my work. You did such an amazing job out there. I can't wait to see what else you can do."

'She's...been watching me this whole time?' she thought.

"I would love to spend some more time with you whenever our schedules comply," she suggested

Jennie let out a chuckle and nodded with a tearful smile. "A-absolutely! Th-thank you." she then finally hugged her. "I have so much to tell you, like I admire you so much and the fact that you are in front of me right now, talking to me, I just can't believe it! I like-oh my gosh, is this really happening?!"

Jennie even took a photo with her, 'I MET AILEE!! Ahhhhhhh! It finally happened! This is so surreal! Thank you for everything! It's an honor! #Jen #IMSHAKING'

Many articles had headlines such as 'Member from Popular Idol Group blows judges away on King of Masked Singer' and 'Jennie from BTS praised for her efforts on King of Masked Singer' as it went into detail about her performances on the show.

When the show aired, the members had watched it and posted reaction videos and photos of her on the show.

'THAT'S MY BABY! #Jin'

'Smartie you keep cheesing. Calm down, you're making my face hurt with that smile of yours #Suga'

'Go Ennie! #V'

'Ennie~you look so cool! #Jimin'

ARMY even made a comparison video of her singing Ailee's songs back from 2013 to 2016 and went on to tweet about her on the show too.

'We need her to sing like this more often in BTS' songs! Where is her album/mixtape!?'

'I did NOT know she had these PIPES! Eargasm omfg!'

'Peep the guys in the crowd staring at her with heart eyes'

'Where the haters that said she couldn't sing?'

'I had no idea she could sing like this'

'Big Hit has picked a gem! They chose the perfect person to become Miss Bangtan! She is truly one of a kind!'

'PLOT TWIST!'

'QUEEN!'

'QUEEN of plot twists!'

'When she removed those gloves and everybody went batshit crazy, I got emotional'

'People give Jennie a lot of shit and it's funny how silent they are when they watch her sing like this. They can't admit that she has pipes!'

'Her vocals have improved so much! I hope we can see this more on BTS' next album!'

---------

Things were going great when working on the upcoming album. Today, in particular, was an eye-opener for Jennie when she was told that she was highly considered to be dancing in water for Fire.

"W-water dance? That's some EXO type shit!" she exclaimed. "You want me to dance in water? You want me to do that? Not any of the others?"

"It will fit best with you. We can use this for a special occasion such as an award show." Mr. Son had informed her.

She was told that soon she would be working with some choreographers on the dance. She happily took the opportunity and hoped to work hard as the members supported her. She wasn't used to doing much more like that but the fact that she was getting more opportunities made her elated.

Including that time when was called to see Slow Rabbit and was asked to do adlibs for House of Cards and harmonize in the background.

Back at the dorm, Jennie searched everywhere in her room for her pack of bonnets that she had just bought. She couldn't find them anywhere and began to search in the living room. That was until she saw Hobi wearing one of her bonnets.

"Hey," she spoke up

"Oh hey, Munchkin. Were you about to take a shower? I'll be quick okay?"

"No, it's not that but you're wearing one of my new bonnets."

"A what?"

"My bonnet. On your head."

"A bonnet? I thought this was a shower cap." he took it off his head and examined it as she laughed. "This is yours? I thought they were shower caps so I grabbed the pack that was sitting in the living room."

"Nah, it's for my hair to protect it. But I mean you can keep that one, it's fine,"

After finding her pack of bonnets, she grabbed her phone to see a text message from Baekhyun. Once she read what he said, she screamed and said yes

Baekhyun: Jennie, it's me Baekhyun! I was wondering if you wanted to join me and the rest of the members tomorrow at SM Entertainment.

Later that night, mind immersed in various thoughts, Taehyung got out of bed and made his way outside the dorm to sit on the steps. He didn't know exactly what time it was but from the view of the night sky, it was late. All that was on his mind was that offer for the Hwarang K-Drama.

They wanted him? Of all people? Was he...good enough for the role? 

He didn't want to disappoint them. And he didn't have that much acting experience. He didn't think he should accept the offer. What if people speak negatively about him and his acting?

Hearing the door behind him close, he turned around to see Jennie bundled up, about to walk down the steps. As soon as they locked eyes, she stopped and took out her earbuds.

"Oh. I was not expecting anyone to be out here. Hey, Tae. I'm surprised you're awake."

Taehyung immediately smiled. "Hey, Ennie! Can't sleep either?"

"I just have the munchies for those Korean chips you got me into. Want to walk with me to the store?"

Taehyung stood up eagerly. "Let's go!" he grabbed her hand and walked down the path to the store with her.

He enjoyed Jennie's company. He wasn't expecting anyone to be awake at this time, but he was glad she was here with him. Maybe he could talk to her about what has been bothering him. She always knew the right things to say.

Jennie, on the other hand, knew that something was bugging him and waited patiently for him to speak to her about it. She knew he would as he thought of the words to bring it up.

After buying her chips and some other snacks from the store, the two made it back to the dorm without anyone noticing them and sat on the steps outside, enjoying each other's company 

After chatting and snacking, Taehyung murmured while looking down at the ground, "I...I have been thinking..."

"About...?" she softly spoke, setting her chips to the side.

"The offer. I just...what do you think I should do? I'm so nervous about it."

"Why are you nervous?"

"I just...I feel like I'm lacking in acting. I don't want to disappoint them..."

"You won't disappoint them. I can't decide for you but I really hope you take the offer for the upcoming drama."

He stared at her in surprise. "You think so?"

"Yeah! That is an amazing opportunity. You're a great actor, Tae Tae. I've seen you in I Need U and Run. You are able! Listen, at the end of the day, it is you that is doing this, not me. But I strongly think you should go for it. I wouldn't pass this up. This can even help you improve your acting skills." she smiled warmly.

She bumped her shoulder into him, making him giggle. "Tae, just sleep on it, okay? Don't overthink it. When your mind is clear and focused, just think about it and call them to give them your answer. But just know that I will support you in your decisions and do whatever I can to help you practice for the drama if you say yes."

Taehyung stared at her and couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness wash over him as he took her encouragement to heart. Grabbing her gloved hand, he squeezed it while smiling softly at her.

"Ennie...thank you."

"Always."

"No, really. Thank you for being my friend. I was hoping someone would be awake and find me here. To talk to me about this. You always know when to pop up when I need you. You gave me a lot of strength. Thank you."

"I'm glad I can call you my friend, Tae. And I'm really happy to hear that. Also, don't forget...Taehyung hwaiting!" she happily announced, pumping her fist. Afterward, she nervously laughed, covering her mouth while he giggled at how cute she looked saying that to him. "Sorry, I just wanted to cheer you up. Was that too much? Too cringe?"

"Hehehe, no...not at all, Ennie."

The next morning, Jennie had been in her room catching up on her TV shows when she saw Taehyung walking in her room excitedly.

"Morning!" she beamed.

"Morning, Ennie!" his boxy smile came across his features as he sat on her bed. "I slept on it..."

"Oh, you did? You made a decision?"

"I just got off the phone with them. I accepted it."

Her eyes widened and she pulled him in for a hug, delighted for him as he laughed. "I am so happy! You're going to do great! We'll practice all night if we have to!"

He giggled. "I appreciate it. Thank you Ennie."

A few hours later, Jennie saw Tony happily jump on her bed to interrupt her watching her show. 

"Tony! How are ya today?" she petted him and started to give him a belly rub. She then noticed an odor coming from him and realized that he was in serious need of a bath. "Tony, you stink! I need to clean you."

As soon as the dog noticed what was about to happen, he tried to get out of it by whining. But Jennie wasn't having it.

"Tony, you stink. I need to give you a bath. Hey, no. Not the puppy dog eyes. You are not getting away from this. Let's get this bath over with." 

She picked him up as he whined louder and began walking to the bathroom in the hallway. She set him down and saw him giving her an even sadder look. 

"Tony! Come on~!" she complained as his sad look started to get to her. "No, we are not doing this. You are not giving me that sad look. You're getting cleaned. Ugh, how come you do this to me and not Jungkook?"

Jungkook laughed in the background, leaning up against the door. "Because he knows you'll give him whatever he wants."

Turning around to see him smiling, she replied, "Not today! He needs to get cleaned." 

Tony immediately went over to his dad and rubbed against him to try to get him to talk Jennie out of it. It worked before but this time Jungkook sighed. 

"Sorry boy, listen to Jennie. You have to get cleaned, this time."

Tony seemed to have given up on the sweet gestures and decided to accept his fate while Jennie got the bath settled.

"I got him." Jungkook picked him up and gently placed him in the tub. He then sat on the floor with Jennie to help wash him. "I think he likes it. Cute." he chuckled softly when they noticed their dog splashing around.

Jennie used the shower head to wet him thoroughly, carefully making sure not to get any water in his ears or eyes.

"Good, that'll be easy then." she grabbed the dog shampoo and began to go to work to wash him with Jungkook. 

Tony seemed to enjoy it, which made the couple laugh. But then he jumped out of the tub and ran out of the bathroom, still covered in shampoo. 

"Tony, noooooo!" she shouted.

Jungkook promptly rushed out of the room to run after the dog, who was making the floor wet wherever he ran. 

"Tony! We're not done!" he laughed out loud.

"Goodness gracious. I didn't think it'd be this hard." Jen stood up and walked out of the bathroom to help Jungkook chase him. 

After a few minutes, Jungkook managed to grab him and they resumed washing him. While rinsing him off with the shower head carefully, they got splashed and wet in the process once Tony shook his body and spread water all over the place.

"Agk!" Jungkook tried to shield himself from the water with Jennie. 

He turned to her and started laughing again before they washed him a second time to make sure he was nice and clean. Jennie and Jungkook were soaked while trying to clean him but they didn't complain as they had fun washing him.

"Ta-da! You're clean!" Jennie took Tony out and began to dry him with a towel. "You did it, Tony! I'll give you a treat once I finish drying you up."

Jungkook stretched and then bent over the tub to take out the plug that was holding the water in the drain. 

Standing up, Jennie let Tony go free and glanced at Jungkook's butt as an idea popped into her head. Feeling playful, she kicked his butt, making him fall right into the tub as she burst out in laughter.

Jungkook was a bit surprised that she would attack him like this. Nonetheless, he'd make sure to have the last laugh.

Grabbing the shower head, she prepared for him to stand up and when he did, she sprayed him as he tried to block his face. Jungkook's entire body got soaked as he tried to evade her attack while the room was filled with her laughter.

Having enough, he got out of the tub and began walking forward while she took a few steps back, continuing to spray him. She let out a scream in surprise when he grabbed a hold of her and grabbed the shower head.

"No!" she pulled it back as they went back and forth trying to fight for it. But then he yanked it out of her hands and began spraying her with water as she tried to block her face. "Kook!"

All she heard was his loud laughter before they began to wrestle around for the handheld showerhead.
