-----
To celebrate Halloween, the members had a Halloween Party for ARMY on a live stream on V-Live. Suga was dressed up as Naruto, J-Hope as Darth Vader, Jimin as Mickey Mouse, Jungkook as Konan, Jin as a Pumpkin, V as a vampire and Rap Monster as Gudetama. Jennie had chosen to be Janelle Monae during her Electric Lady era.
Jennie loved the Electric Lady era. Janelle Monae is someone that she adores a lot thanks to her uplifting lyrics and confidence for being a black woman. The empowerment and embracing of that natural black beauty. She was everything to her.
Electric Lady is also one of her favorite songs as she wore a replica of her outfit thanks to a stylist back in America. Her jacket was customized with JW carved on it and Electric Lady on the back.
After performing Dope, the members introduced themselves and welcomed ARMY to the Halloween Party with BTS. Out of all the members, she thought Jin looked the cutest with his pumpkin costume.
When it was her turn to introduce herself, she was so pleased to see such a positive reception and to see that ARMY all over the world came to the event.
The day before the party, she had gotten sick and caught a sore throat, so she was advised not to speak much during the broadcast. ARMY was very understanding and gave her well wishes. Her voice sounded deeper with her sore throat and her vocal cords were aching lightly, so she remained silent, watching the members and lip synced her verses for their songs. But throughout the broadcast, the members would tease her about her sudden deep voice, making good fun out of the situation.
She honestly felt like hell during this broadcast but she still wanted to do it with the group. She had been drinking hot tea with lemon and honey, in a cute Halloween mug throughout the broadcast to soothe her throat.
The broadcast had activities such as random dance for their songs and express your body. Later on in the broadcast, the members sat down to check out questions to BTS from around the world from ARMY. The majority of the fans that asked questions were foreigners.
”What ghost are you afraid of the most?” J-Hope read. “Please imitate it.”
“I’m afraid of J-Hope now at this moment,” Rapmon answered.
“My father is the most scary existence in the world,” Suga added. “More than a ghost.”
“Who has the biggest hand?” J-Hope read the next question. “Let’s do a tournament!”
As the members compared hands, V continued to beat everyone on having the largest hand, going through each member. Once it was up to Jimin, he got out of his seat and tried to avoid getting his hand compared to his while ARMY laughed at him.
“Jimin has tiny hands~!” Jungkook teased.
“At least my hands are bigger than Jennie’s!” Jimin explained.
“At least my pinky finger is bigger than yours.” she cleared her throat and sipped her tea as the members laughed loudly at him.
“I should hide all her smarties so she won’t have any smarties to eat for Halloween.”
After walking back to the members, Jimin took off his Mickey Mouse glove and compared his hand against V’s as they started laughing at how tiny it was compared to his.
“V is the biggest,” J-Hope announced.
“Let me see your hand against mine.” Jen placed her hand against V’s. The difference was just as great as him and Jimin. “Wow, this is absurd.”
The next question was, “What was the hardest moves? Show them.”
“Oh God, them hip thrusts in dope. I cannot. It took me forever. I was the last one to perfect it.” Jen answered. She stood up and performed it over loud screams from ARMY. “A girl be struggling with that. I feel like I look awkward.”
-----
For the Jacket Shooting of HYYH PT.2, Jennie wore a white leather jacket with various pins on them and black jeans, including the same white butterfly necklace. She had taken photos with Rap Monster with spray cans, acting rebellious and fierce.
Once Jin began taking photos on a high wall, Jennie started to hype him up, making him laugh.
“Yes, Jin! Work! Show that profile! Handsome worldwide! Beautiful! Stunning! Absolutely stunning!”
“Jennie is my biggest fan.” He happily said.
When they were filmed on the street, Jin, J-Hope, Jungkook and Jen were shot riding bikes with bright smiles on their faces.
“And...action!”
While filming for the Prologue of their next comeback, the director decided to have the members film various scenes to show more of their stories in the HYYH era and since there can only be so many scenes in a music video, they can just add the extra scenes in the upcoming DVD of memories for 2015.
For the scene, the setting turned to Jennie yelping as she got shoved to the floor by her ex-boyfriend, wearing the same white dress from I Need U.
She had just announced that she was leaving for good but it didn’t sit well with him.
Jen and the actor had practiced this scene various times to get it right because they had him having his hands around her neck, aiming to choke her. Darker than she expected but they managed to get the scene right after a few corrections.
“Please...” she gasped out as her eyes teared up, grabbing his hands as she desperately tried to make him let go of her neck.
“I’m sorry, I can’t let you leave me.” she heard him as her vision began to fade.
This was it, she was about to become deceased as she felt herself getting weaker.
She should’ve listened to Jin.
She should have never gone this route. A never-ending cycle where those around her get hurt.
She suddenly remembered the knife that she had and found it on the ground near her. Risking it, she used one of her arms to reach out for the knife.
Just centimeters...
Centimeters close to the knife...
Almost there...
She was fading fast, would she be able to get it?
Feeling the knife, she quickly grabbed it and struck him with it, stunning him. Scared, she quickly pushed him off of her, scrambling away with eyeliner running from her eyes thanks to the tears.
She gasped deeply, trying to catch her breath as she touched her neck.
His body remained motionless as she found herself in a state of shock, noticing that blood was all over her and her white dress.
Wearing white, she didn’t feel pure. She had taken someone’s life.
With trembling hands, she grabbed her phone, sobbing at what she had done and wondering if she should call a friend or the police.
Later, on the set, the members prepared to film for the Prologue of HYYH. With Jen’s character for this era, she was the closest to Jin, linked with him. Jennie felt like her character for this era was an absolute hot mess who could not seem to get out of trouble no matter how much she wanted to help others and stubbornly didn’t want help from anyone.
The first location was in the woods, in an abandoned pool. Jennie wore a long-sleeved brown hoodie and the same white butterfly necklace. She had an acoustic guitar on her back and stood with Jin as he recorded the boys having fun around V who was lying on the mattress.
Jungkook had turned around to point them out. “Oh, it’s Jin hyung and Jennie.” he grinned while Jennie waved at them and met up with them, embracing each other.
‘You can smile as long as we’re together’
The group would run around and play with each other as Jin filmed and joined in activities like arm wrestling with Jungkook. One moment included everyone sitting around Jennie as she strummed along on her guitar and they sang out random songs, bonding. Following, she caught Jin filming her while she adjusted her bun. Turning around, she grinned and waved, gesturing for him to come over to her. As soon as he grew close, she snatched his camera and ran as he chased after her.
As filming went on, the members were sitting while V had stepped on top of a building a few feet higher than everyone. Jennie climbed up to meet him there, patting his back and looking up at the sky with him.
At night, the members stood around a bonfire, watching what Jin had filmed on a projector. Jen had sat next to Jin who offered her and J-Hope pretzels. Jungkook decided to lay on Yoongi’s lap while he was playing with a lighter.
“We...shall we go here?” Jin asked, showing the photo to everyone.
Everyone agreed while Jungkook blew out Yoongi’s fire.
As time went on, Jen rolled her eyes when she felt her phone vibrate yet again. She checked the time and sighed.
“He’s going to be mad that I’m not home yet. I’ll be right back.” she excused herself and a distance away from the bonfire to answer the call.
“What....? Why now? You’re acting a bit paranoid.” she paced around, getting annoyed. “I do love you but-listen-I...you have been blowing up my phone all day, relax! It’s not even like that...really it’s not...of course, I love you. I don’t get why you need to know every single little detail on where I’m at, I said I was fine. Listen, we don’t need to hang around each other 24/7-you are unbelievable, you know what?”
“Fine...okay.” she finally said, defeated, after a long period of listening to what her significant other had to say.
Hanging up, she wiped her tears and blew out her cheeks. Sniffing, she put her phone away and placed her hands on her hips. After pulling herself together, she turned around, bewildered when she discovered Jin watching her with worried eyes.
No words were said as her stomach dropped, realizing that he had been listening for a while.
“...H-how long have you been standing there?” she spoke nervously.
He frowned. “Is everything all right?”
“Yeah, yeah. Just a disagreement.”
“Jennie.” he grabbed her by the wrist and he noticed that she had winced in pain. “Are you okay?”
“Y-yeah, I’m fine.” she pulled away, rubbing her wrist.
“You look in pain.”
“It’s nothing. I have to go. I’ll see you guys, tomorrow, okay?” she fake smiled and left while he looked back at her with concern.
The next morning, Jin drove to the beach, with everyone in his truck, enjoying the beach and nice weather. They all would run and jump around while Jin continued to film. When the guys were far away, Jennie took off her shoes and walked near the ocean, getting her feet wet, and watching the view with a smile. Jin had met up with her, placing his video camera down and walked with her, taking some photos together. Jumping on his back, he had given her a piggyback ride.
That was until the rest of the guys ran over and succeeded in shoving them into the water.
“You’re all dead!” she shouted, running after them with Jin.
After chasing them around, Jennie tripped and Jin grabbed her by the arm, causing her to hiss in pain.
“What’s wrong? Did I hurt you?” he exclaimed.
“N-no, no. I’m good.”
“Don’t you want to take that off? It’s really hot and you’re wearing a long-sleeved hoodie, I don’t want you to pass out.” he lifted up her sleeve but saw a bruise. “What happened?”
“I just fell, okay?” she averted her eyes and pulled the sleeve down.
“What did he do?”
“Nothing.”
“He did this to you.”
“I just fell.”
He looked at her seriously. “I really think that you should leave him.”
“It was just a grab, it was my fault anyway. We’re fine, he’s a good guy-“
“That is not your fault. I can’t stand here and let him do that to you.”
“Jin. Okay. I’ll leave him, all right? Please just don’t get involved, okay?”
“I’m sorry but I have to.”
“Please, don’t. And please don’t tell the others.”
“Why won’t you let us help you? You help us. All the time.”
“Because I don’t really need it. I got it all handled, okay? I can do this alone. He said he’ll never do it again. It was an accident. But I’ll leave, okay? Let’s just drop it.”
“I can’t drop it when you’re hurting.”
“When I’m with you guys, I’m happy and can smile as wide as I can. Being with you all, makes me forget the negativity. I’ll be all right, okay? I’ll leave him soon.” she reassured him.
Once arriving at the gas station, Rapmon put gas in the car while Jen sat in the passenger seat. Rapmon grabbed Jin’s camera and took a photo of them with Suga joining in from the backseat. Once Rapmon got back inside the truck in the back, they checked out the photo. Meanwhile, Jimin was asleep in the truck while J-Hope placed snacks in the back. Looking out the window, Jennie turned and looked sad, having a lot on her mind.
The next day, they all sat by the pier, watching the sunrise. Taking a look around, V turned his attention to the large platform and started climbing it.
“What is he doing...?” Jen murmured and stood up, going to follow him. Once she made it up, she looked down at the sea.
It was a long way down. Something that she felt like she wasn’t ready for as she turned her attention to V’s back.
“Hey, think about this,” she called out, anxiously.
All she had gotten in return was a fond smile from him after he looked down at the guys. Once he had jumped off the platform, she had reached out her hand, yelling “Wait!” as he dived into the sea, jumping into the unknown.
When it was time to film for the Run MV, Jen sat on the train tracks with Jungkook, watching Rapmon film. Jungkook had been playing with one of the dogs on the set to pass the time.
She turned to see that big smile on his face as he tried to avoid getting licked and giggled when he ended up falling on his back with the dog showering him with love. Suddenly, their dog Tony, and the other dog he was playing with, ran up to her and Tony energetically jumped on her, giving her love as she laughed.
“It’s biting my hand.” Jungkook gestured to one of the dogs biting his hand. “Chew it up!"
“Guys, Tony has gotten bigger, huh?” Jen asked on camera,
“He still loves me the most by the way.”
“Who said that?” she asked as he stuck his tongue out at her.
After watching the dogs run away to play around, Jen stood up and prepared for their shoot, which was running...a lot.
“I’m just glad I have my comfortable Nikes on. And I’m still patiently waiting for Nike to hit a chick up for an endorsement.” she crossed her fingers.
Running was a common theme for this music video as the members ran through a tunnel, on a bridge, on the streets, and in the fields. After running throughout the day, Jennie and Jin were called out the get filmed in a dark alley. Although a majority of what everyone was shooting might not be in the music video, they can still be filmed for the future memories of 2015 DVD.
In the music video, Jennie is shown having a rough time. Since it was night, she was filmed walking to a dark alleyway with Jin following her closely, making sure that she was safe. Surrounding herself with a group of sketchy people, joining the activities they were doing, she leaned up against the wall, with her eyes getting red. In a daze with smoke coming out of her mouth, she wanted to numb the pain that was going on with her and the drama happening back at her boyfriend’s place.
“Act more out of it.” The director called out as she followed his commands. “Cut!”
“I'm not really supposed to be out here this late doing stuff like this. I have to act like I’m hallucinating. Hopefully, I’ll do a good job. It may take a few tries.” she mentioned on camera.
“Just do what I do, ahhhhhh!” Jin yelled out jokingly, causing her to playfully punch him.
When filmed again, Jennie had mentally prepared for the crucial part of filming. Holding her head, she frequently started looking around and flinching.
“What did you give me!?” she panicked, turning to the group.
“What do you mean? Just relax.” she heard them reply.
She let out a scream and kneeled, holding her head tighter. “Make it stop, make it stop!” she screamed, beginning to cry while Jin quickly rushed in to help her, as the group ran off.
“Jennie! Jennie!” he grabbed a hold of her as she tried to push him away.
“Get away from me!”
“It’s me! It’s me! Look! It’s not real! It’s not real!” he hugged her to try to calm her down as she continued to shake and freak out. Jin quickly looked at what she had smoked and realized that it was spiked. “I got you. Everything is going to be okay.” he lifted her up bridal style and quickly left the area with her, to get her help.
“Cut!”
“Was that okay?” she asked after getting set down by Jin.
“Very good job, both of you.” The director praised.
“Ayeeee!” she high fived Jin and jumped up to bump her chest with him.
“I was a little nervous for that scene. But she can cry on the spot. It’s really impressive.” Jin praised.
Later that night, the members gathered around in the alley.
“I think I ran for half a day and slept for the other half,” Jin said on camera.
“My feet are comfortable as heck because of these Nikes,” Jen added
“For goodness sake, someone get her that endorsement, so she can shut up.” Yoongi walked past them, making them laugh out loud.
For the scene, they were filmed acting like punks in a dark alley, acting drunk and goofy while Jin filmed them.
“Yo, why you gotta pull the lollipop out your mouth like that?” she chuckled and mimicked V’s actions.
For the individual shots, Jen was filmed stomping around aggressively and kicking random things around.
The next morning, the members are back around Jamsu Bridge to continue getting filmed running. The day consisted of the members eating burgers and playing around.
“Dasi run, run, run,” Jen whined as she continued to get filmed running for the 100th time.
Jen and Jin were together for another scene, as requested by the director, although they weren’t sure yet if they wanted to put it in the music video.
The scene had Jen look like she wanted to jump off the bridge. Her hands were on the railing as she looked down at the water. All Jin had to do was yell and grab her back so she could be on the ground again.
“Action!”
“Don’t!” Jin yelled, rushing over to her as he gripped her tightly. Hastily lifting her body over the railing, he placed her down as they both fell to their knees. Roughly grabbing a hold of her shoulders, he shook her repeatedly, catching her off guard. “Are you crazy!? Are you crazy!?”
The way he shook her so violently, made her tear up and start to cry, adding to the acting. “I-I’m sorry!” she wrapped her arms around him as he hugged her tightly.
“Cut!”
Wiping her tears, Jen let out a laugh as she heard Jin repeatedly apologize for shaking her so hard.
“It’s fine, it’s fine!”
They were then requested one more scene to film as SeokJen were told to improvise that Jen was angry at him for trying to help her with the problems with her boyfriend and wanted her to yell “I hate you.”
“Action!”
Jennie angrily walked up to Jin and shoved him. “Why would you do that!?”
Jin looked shocked and his facial expression caused her to burst out in laughter while he began giggling, holding his heart.
“Gosh, so aggressive,” he said.
“His reaction was priceless!”
Getting back in character, they tried it again as she shoved him and yelled, “Why would you do that!?”
Jin couldn’t even respond because he cracked a smile and started to laugh with her again. This was going to take a while.
“Get all your giggles out.” The director told them, amused.
“HA-HA-HA!” Jen exaggerated.
“HA-HA-HA?” Jin copied her.
“HA-HA!”
“HA-HA?”
“HA-HA!”
“HA-HA!” he nodded in approval and high fived her.
Finally getting it all out of their system, they went back to being serious, finally getting the scene right.
Storming up to Jin, she shoved him angrily, yelling, “Why would you do that!?”
“Do what!?”
“Why did you go and confront him!?”
“He needed to be talked to-“
“You’re ruining everything!” she shouted.
“I’m trying to get you out of this!” he shouted back.
“Oh my God!” she placed her hands over her head. “How many times do I have to tell you that I can take care of myself!? I got this! I’m fine!”
He shook his head sadly. “You really are going to choose him over us...?”
The way he said that so dejected made her heart ache as she hesitated for a moment, swallowing the lump in her throat.
This wasn’t acting anymore to them.
It took Jennie a while to speak again but the director kept filming, enjoying the scene.
Jennie exhaled to try to keep her composure, shakily responding as her throat tightened, “I love him.”
“We love you.”
Unable to fight the tears from her eyes, the tears began to fall as her chest felt heavy. She was not supposed to cry for this scene, she was supposed to look angry. Jen couldn't even say the "I hate you" line yet.
“Jin-“
“No, we love you. Our love for you is healthy. He doesn’t love you. What you’re dealing with isn’t love. Your family misses you and is worried sick about you. You ran away from home for him. Left a scholarship and great grades for him. Your life was all planned out, you had everything you dreamed of...and you threw it away for him.”
“Look-“
“We all miss you as well, you are never around us anymore. Whatever he did or said to you that is making you scared, it ends today. You want to help others but then you don’t want to accept help from us. Don’t be like that, please. When are you going to realize that you are not alone here? And you have people that love and care about you and will always be there for you? When are you going to let others guide you and help you through this?”
“Jin...”
“If I could just...take that pain away from you, I’d do it in a heartbeat. You deserve so much more. I know you’re hurting. I know you’re scared. I’m scared because if you don’t leave him, something bad might happen. He is trying to isolate you from us. I know and I refuse to let that happen. I can’t let him do this to you. Just let us help you, we can get you away from him, you’ll be safe with us-
“Enough!” she shouted at him. “I hate you!” she shoved him back as he looked back hurt.
‘Damn that facial expression...’ she thought as she looked at his heartbroken appearance. “I-I can’t hang with you guys, anymore. I’m leaving, okay?”
“No! Don’t do this.” he grabbed her. “Please-“
“Stop! I’m done! Don’t look for me. Okay? Tell the guys I said goodbye.” she quickly ran off.
“Jennie!” he ran after her but then lost her as he sat down and looked regretful.
“Cut!”
As soon as the director said that, Jin and Jennie quickly embraced. The scene seemed to have impressed the director because he decided to keep the entire scene. He even had the camera crew continue filming them hugging the way that they were as Jin wiped her tears and kissed her forehead.
The next shooting location was the tunnel. The members were blocking the way of drivers with their car and everyone was screaming and yelling at them.
“Two, three!”
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
They scream at the cars, running around chaotically.
“VIOLENCE!” Jen got on top of a car and stomped on it while Jimin threw water and other items on another car.
After her individual shot was finished, she quickly got off and bowed. “Sorry about that.” she made sure the car didn’t have a dint or anything in it.
And yet again, the members ran back into the car while Jin drove off.
“Out of all the music videos we’ve done, this is the most exhausting,” Jen said on camera.
After filming the loud party scene, hanging around with red cups as Jin filmed, the members sat around while Jin made a pyramid with cards. As soon as he finished, V smashed the cards away, making a sad expression appear on Jin’s face.
“Yo, seriously?” Jen frowned, scolding V for his actions.
A scene was filmed of her giving Jin another pack of cards to boost his mood and they ended up creating a bigger pyramid and taking photos together with it. The next scene was a pillow fight scene. And of course, Jennie was the first target because she felt a huge impact and feathers flying around her head and she turned around to see Yoongi was the culprit. Grabbing her pillow, they ended up hitting each other and their hair got disheveled and filled with feathers.
“It is going to take forever to get this out of my black hair. The things we do for music videos.” she chuckled softly, trying to pull pieces of feathers out of her hair.
With just a couple of scenes left, they filmed a part in the bathroom, pulling Jimin in to suffer by tossing him in the tub, and getting him soaked. The director called out Suga to go in next as the members pushed him in. After he got soaked, he sighed and looked at his wet clothes.
“I told you not to put me in. Gosh. These are my jeans.” he complained, getting called Yunki by the members.
“So...is Ennie next?” Rapmon called out.
“Who, what, where, what? Who? Who is Ennie? Ennie ain’t here! Back away!” she tried to avoid her fate but got picked up and dropped into the tub by Taehyung, Rapmon and J-hope. “Nice...”
“Jimin is already in the tub. Now Yunki and Ennie got soaked, too.” J-Hope shot a thumbs up to the camera. “Great!”
“Is V coming in too?” Jimin called out. “Hurry! Grab him!”
“Way ahead of ya!” Jennie grabbed ahold of him with the members before he had the chance to escape and pushed him in while laughing.
Their last shot was a lipsync shot with a black background. The members were sleepy but eager to go home after this as they were filmed looking sad. The majority of everyone had gone home after filming but Jennie decided to stay with V because he had one more scene. Laying his back on the platform, he began to complain.
“Gosh, this is awful. There’s the last scene where I have to go in the water. I thought everyone would wait for me but thankfully at least Ennie is here for support.” he said on camera. “I’m really happy that she’s here. She’s the best.”
Jennie decided to stay because she wanted to support him and see him in action. He was so disappointed when the rest of the members had left but as soon as she told him that she would stay and wait for him, his mood heightened and she never saw him smile so wide.
She watched as he had fallen back into the water without hesitation as the staff was impressed with his acting. Jennie had found Jimin and Jungkook also waiting for V as they stood with each other.
“I know he must be shivering,” Jimin spoke.
“Definitely. I feel for him,” she responded.
“His shoulders got wider.”
“He’s buffed up.” Jungkook noticed.
“He is so amazing. Look at him.” Jen admired his acting. It looked effortless to him.
As V proceeded to act in the water, the water scenes intrigued Jennie and she asked if she could film with him for fun.
“I was watching New Moon a while ago and I remember that scene when Bella had jumped and seen Edward. Can we recreate that scene for shiz and giggles? I know V wants to go home but...please?” she had asked.
“Let’s do it! Get in!” V beamed. He enjoyed these small moments with his best friend.
Standing on the platform, she stretched. “I bet this water is cold as heck.”
She jumped in and saw V waving at her. Making sure they breathed in some air, they dive back into the water. Sinking, V had slowly turned to look at her as she slowly started sinking, looking back.
“Jennie, turn diagonally.” The director said as she turned around gracefully.
When they both came back up, she wrapped her arms around his neck, shivering with him as he held her waist.
“When it’s cold outside~, I’ve got the month of May!” she fake cried. "Why couldn't the water be warm!?"
Once they got out, they were wrapped in blankets and heat packets.
“I have no regrets. That was fun. Thanks to everyone, you’ve worked hard.” she grinned at the camera.
--------
In Jen’s studio, Jennie and Jungkook were sitting with each other, finishing up their final homework question. Once they were done, Jen did some finishing touches on an upcoming cover while Jungkook took her phone to hack her Instagram.
Taking a goofy selfie, he posts with the caption, ‘Hello ARMY! #JK #Hacked’
It was normal for the members to take her phone and post ‘hacked’ photos of themselves. ARMY was waiting for Jungkook to finally do it again since it had been a while. Normally it would be Taehyung and Jimin to hack her Instagram the most.
Jungkook scrolled through her timeline and saw that Bam Bam had posted her as his Woman Crush Wednesday.
‘Here we go...’ he grumbled to himself.
“Whatcha looking at? Hacking again?” she called out after finishing singing.
“Bam Bam posted you as his Woman Crush Wednesday,” he responded apathetically.
“Haha, cute.”
“Do you...like him?”
“Define like.”
“Would you date him?” he boldly asked.
The curiosity got the better of him. He had to know.
“Well, anything can happen. If he says and does the right things that can sweep me off my feet, I’d totally fall for him. As of right now, I have no feelings. We are just great friends.”
“Good.”
“Good?” she laughed as he realized he said that out loud, looking surprised. “Oh, okay, hahah. You don’t want me to date him?”
“I just...think there is someone else out there for you.”
“Mm hm. Okay. I trust your judgment.”
Back at the dorm, while Jen stayed in her studio, Jungkook went on a rant to Jimin and Taehyung about Bam Bam.
“Did you know that Bam Bam has been posting Jennie as his Woman Crush Wednesday? How annoying is that? She’s supposed to be mine.”
“She’s yours?” Yoongi walked into the kitchen, grabbing a drink from the fridge. “Pshhh, you haven’t even gone to first base yet.”
Jungkook’s face heated up at the sudden shade. “Hyung!”
“Hey!” Jimin yelled. “We’re working on it! Things take time! And no, we didn’t know. Ennie is the only one with an Instagram, we haven’t been hacking her page in a while.”
“Don’t panic. Things should be fine because he still has his dating ban.” Taehyung added.
“Well, that’s not stopping him from making moves on her,” Jungkook grumbled.
“Jealous?” Yoongi asked, raising a brow.
“Yeah, I am! I admit it! I’m jealous!” he snapped, causing Jimin and Taehyung to snicker at his reaction.
“Calm down, kid...”
“Wait a minute...how do you know he likes her?” Jimin called out
“Come on...” the rapper shook his head. “The kid makes it painfully obvious. It’s ridiculous.”
Back to Jennie, her phone rang and she answered Angelina’s facetime call. “Hi!”
“Jennie! My flight is already booked for Seoul, I’m finally coming to see ya!”
“FI-NAL-LY!”
“You really didn’t have to pay for the ticket, I could’ve paid though!”
“Well, get used to it because I’ll be treating you to a lot of stuff once you arrive in Seoul. Can’t wait for you to hang with me. You’ll get to see everything about my comeback as well.”
“Niiiice."
“So...are you excited to see me or are you excited to see Namjoon?”
“Namjoon!”
“Ahh!” Jen caught her.
“I meant you!” she laughed
“Uh-uh. Okay.”
“Is he excited to see me?”
“Of course he is.”
“I bet he’s cuter in person.”
“Jesus take the wheel...”
-----------
When Jennie arrived back at the dorm after a few hours, she was aware that the guys would be celebrating their success in filming the comeback with drinks but apparently, they celebrated too hard because as soon as she walked into the dorm, everyone except for Jungkook was drunk.
“Yo...what the hell?” she called out.
“Jennieeeeee! You’re baaaaaack!” Jimin stumbled up to her, wrapping his arms around her for a tight hug.
“You stink.” she gently pushed him away, not liking the smell of alcohol. “How much did you drink? I wasn’t even gone that long!”
“We were just celebrating~!” he slurred.
“Too much, I see.” she turned to Jungkook who was walking out of his room. “Jungkook! Do you see this mess?” she gestured to the drunken members
Jungkook looked shooked and it seemed like it was the first time he had come out of his room since he arrived back at the dorm, surprised to see his hyungs like this. Some were giggling, lying around, and more hyper than usual.
“Wait, what happened?” the Golden Maknae looked around.
“What do you mean what happened!? You didn’t know they were in this state?”
“I was gaming!” he exclaimed
“Wow! Wow! Help me tame this chaos.”
She went straight to Jimin, helping him sit on the couch. It was short lived because Jimin couldn’t sit straight and laid his body across the couch, a giggling mess with Taehyung.
“My head is spinning.” Taehyung giggled.
Jen chuckled. “It’s like I’m taking care of grown babies, today. Jeez.”
“Well, at least none of them threw up,” Jungkook responded.
“Don’t jinx it,” she added, walking to the bathroom, only to find Yoongi taking a nap in the tub.
Laughing softly, she quickly snapped a photo. “This is ridiculous! Jungkook, can you come here for a sec?”
Seconds later, Jungkook walked in and laughed at the sight, which caused Yoongi to wake up and drunkenly wave with a gummy smile.
"I'm surprised he didn't get mad at us for disturbing his nap," Jungkook said.
"Must be a special occasion. All right, to bed, you go.” she got aid from Jungkook to lift him out of the tub.
“I got him,”
Suddenly, Yoongi dropped to his knees, causing the 97 Liners to look with alarm, and then watched him crawl to the toilet and hurl.
“Jesus...” Jen cringed while kneeling to rub his back.
“Handle the others. I’ll take care of him.” Jungkook said. Once Jennie had left, Jungkook cleaned Yoongi up and began to giggle when he heard him drunk rapping. “Hyung, are you rapping while drunk? What are we going to do with you?”
With Jennie, she went straight to Hobi and Taehyung who were together at a table, with their heads down and empty bottles.
“All right, time to go to bed.” she placed a hand on Tae’s back, causing him to look up.
“I chalgeenlwd hyung to ga drinkivng conteast.” He slurred.
“You challenged Hobi to a drinking contest?” she translated his gibberish. “You’re a lightweight! You both are lightweights! You can’t handle the hard stuff, why did you agree to a drinking contest when you’re a lightweight?” she scolded with a laugh.
When he responded, she couldn’t understand his gibberish anymore.
“What? I have no idea what you just said.”
After walking him to the bathroom, she grabbed his toothbrush and prepared to brush his teeth.
“Am I cute to you?” Taehyung suddenly asked.
“Yes, you’re adorable. Now let’s brush your teeth.” she held him steady and thoroughly brushed his teeth for him. After a while, she caught him staring at her. “What?” she removed the toothbrush from his mouth.
“You really do scrunch your nose cutely like he said, hehe,” he spoke with his mouth filled with the toothpaste foam.
She managed to comprehend what he said and asked, “Who said that?” while helping him rinse out his mouth.
“Your boyfrieeeeeend.”
She looked at him in confusion. “I don’t have a boyfriend.”
“Not yeeeeet!”
“So, what you’re my fortune teller, now?” she teased and walked him to his bed.
“Kinda! You just don’t know that you’re his yet~! Hehehe but you will soon.”
“Oh really?” she played along, deciding to entertain his goofy banter that she assumed. “Go to sleep, Tae Tae, you’re drunk.”
“I’m serious~!” he whined.
“Good night, Tae Tae.” she kissed his forehead and placed a blanket over him. “Keep drinking that water.”
When she headed back to the living room, she went to Jimin while Jungkook had already taken care of Hobi and Namjoon and was now helping Jin. She was happy that he was sober and helped her because she knew she wouldn’t be able to do this all by herself. The Golden Maknae worked pretty fast to get the guys to bed and she was grateful.
“You know what I love?” Jimin slurred, clinging onto her as she helped him off the couch.
“What’s that?” she asked.
“Seeing Jungkookie so happy.”
“The feeling is mutual.”
“Yeah, he is always so happy when he is with you.”
“I’m glad that he is.”
“Don’t you think I’m adorable?”
She giggled. “Yeah, I do.”
“Don’t you think Jungkookie is handsome?”
“Hahaha, yeah, just like the rest of Bangtan.”
“Does he make you happy?”
“Yes, he does.”
“Did you know that you make him happy?”
“Oh really?” she smiled softly. “Glad to hear that.”
“I know someone that likes youuuuu~!”
“Haha, you are acting so random tonight. Well, I like to be liked.”
“Noooo it’s more than like. It’s love.”
“Love? Well, I like to be loved, too.”
“Not like this~ hehehehehe.”
“Okay, let’s get you into bed.”
“Do you want me to tell you who loves you?”
“Let me guess, you? I love you too, Chim. Now let’s get into bed.”
“Heheheh, you don’t get it. This love is really strong. Like, relationship type strong.”
“JenMin is still a thing, Jimin. You’re good.”
“No, it’s not meeeeeeee~!”
“Okay, then who?”
“He always talks about youuuuuu!”
“Whoever he is, I hope it’s positive.”
“Very! He really wants youuuuu.”
“Really, now?”
“Uh huh! He has been your secret admirer for a while now. He thinks you’re very pretty and always dreams about dating you. He alwaaaaaaaaaaays talks about wanting to kiss you and treat you so special. I hope you two dateeeeee. I’m trying to help himmmm.”
“Well, this is interesting news that someone wants me. You sure he’s legit?”
“Trust me Ennieeeeee, your secret admirer wants you more than you think. He is very legit. Like, GOLDEN Legit.”
Jungkook stared at Jimin in alarm and quickly made his way over.
“Whose mans is this that you’re talking about?” Jen asked.
“OKAY! Time for bed, hyung! I got him, Jennie.”
“Jennieeeeeeee!” she heard Taehyung call out for her, taking her attention off what Jimin had blurted out.
When she went to his room, she helped Taehyung with whatever he needed which was more water and then a bedtime story. After that, she checked on Namjoon because he was feeling nauseous and spoke about his regrets for partying too hard from a psychological perspective that made her think deeply about life.
Exhausted from checking on all the members, she went into her room, but her night was far from over because the sight she saw in her room, caused her to scream, “What the actual-what the fuck!? Who threw up on my Nikes!? Are you kidding me!?”
Somebody was about to get their ass kicked tonight.
She rushed over to her ruined shoes. “No-no-no-no-no-no-no please, not the purple and white ones. My orange ones too? And the red ones!?”
Jungkook quickly rushed in, surprised by her screaming. “What happened!?”
“They threw up on my Nikes!” she shouted as he flinched at her yelling.
As soon as he saw her beginning to tear up from anger and sadness, he frowned. Sure, they were just shoes but to her, they meant much more, as he watched her pace around and angrily vent her frustrations.
“Oh my God, man! WHY!? This is so friggin unfair!” she stormed out of the room.
Jungkook began to panic. All his hyungs were drunk and now an angry Jennie was on the loose.
“Aish...why me? Why hyungs, why?” he murmured
Jennie had periodically wiped angry tears from her eyes after cleaning up the entire dorm with Jungkook. It was late and she should’ve gone to sleep but she stayed up to check on the members despite her frustration.
“I need some Jhene Aiko to calm my ass down...” she grumbled and grabbed her phone, connecting it to a tiny portable speaker that was sitting in the living room.
“A-actually, can I pick a song?” Jungkook called out.
“Sure. Be my guest.”
“I’m sorry about your Nikes.” He smiled sadly as he went over to the speaker.
“It’s fine...”
“I know you’re still upset but I think I know a way to make you feel better.”
“What?”
“Let’s dance,”
“Dance? Seriously?”
“Yeah, why not?”
“I’m not really in the dancing mood, Kook. I just witnessed part of my Nike collection ruined by vomit. Dancing is the last thing on my mind.” she turned her back to him, straightening things up on the couch.
“This song will change your mind. It’ll make you feel better. Trust me.”
When he put on IU and HIGH4’s Not Spring, Love or Cherry Blossoms, Jennie turned around.
gireossdeon gyeounae julgod
pumi jom namneun bamsaeg koteu
“Oh...you’re foul,” she called out.
He grinned mischievously, “You know this is your favorite song by her. Something to cheer you up.”
“Oh my gosh...”
“I see a smile trying to appear on your face~.” he teased as she looked away.
Once she heard him sing, her attention was back on him as she watched him walking slowly to her, “Son jabgo georeul saram. Hana eobsneun naege. Dalkomhan bombarami neomuhae.”
He extended out his hand. “Milady?”
Breaking out into a smile, she took his hand and he spun her around. Pulling her to him, they slowly danced around to the song as she started to loosen up.
“Bom sarang beojkkoch malgo.” she sang.
“Bom sarang beojkkoch malgo.” he sang back
As they continued to dance, he ended up dipping her, making her giggle. After releasing each other, they resumed dancing and singing together around the dorm, grabbing random items to use as microphones.
Once he hugged her from behind, she laughed and wrapped her arms around his, as her heart felt weird again. It felt full of something that she couldn’t understand. Despite the weird feeling, she felt happy in his arms.
“Feeling better?” he asked as the song ended.
“Much better. Thank you, for this.” she felt herself getting released.
“I guess we should start heading to bed.”
“I’ll sleep in a few. Let me finish the last of these dishes and I want to make sure the guys are safe while they sleep. I don't want them to throw up and choke or something. I’ll sleep soon.”
Later that night, Jungkook was still awake in his room, listening to music and playing games on his phone since he wasn’t sleepy yet.
Got me up all night, all I’m singin’ is love songs
She got me up all night, constant drinkin’ and love songs
She got me up all night, down-and-out with these love songs
J-Cole’s Power Trip played on shuffle on his music player as his mind wandered to Jennie.
“Would you believe me if I said I’m in love?” he sang softly to himself. “Baby, I want you to want me. Would you believe me if I said I’m in love? Baby, I want you.”
Well, this has got to be the longest crush ever
If I ever get to fuck it’d be the longest bust ever
Jungkook let out a chuckle at the lyrics. Ironic how it came on while he thought about her.
It really was the longest crush ever.
Getting out of bed, he wandered around the dorm to check on the members, making sure they were fine before he went to sleep. But once he went to Jen’s room, he noticed that she wasn’t in there.
‘Don’t tell me...’ he thought and made his way to the living room, to find her asleep on the couch.
The angle looked uncomfortable and he picked her up, bridal style.
“What time is it?” she asked tiredly.
“Time to get you in bed. I thought you were going to sleep after you checked on them?”
“I did. I still wanted to stay up to continue watching over them. Are the guys safe?”
“I checked on them, they’re fine. Go to sleep, baby girl.” he gently laid her down on her bed and put covers on her.
Half asleep, she dozed off, mumbling a “Thank you for helping me tonight.”
In the morning, remembering the Nike situation, she was still pissed at the guys. Despite being upset, she still loved them and decided to make breakfast and prepare water and aspirin for them. Once everyone was awake and ate with her, she ignored them and left to go hang with GFriend after finishing her plate.
“All right, what is wrong with her?” Yoongi asked
“Well, you guys threw up around the dorm and she and I had to clean it up,” Jungkook answered.
“Damn...”
“That’s not the worst part.”
“How can it be worse than that?”
“Someone threw up on some of her Nike sneakers.”
The members froze and glanced at each other anxiously as various reactions of curses were heard.
“Shit.”
“Fuck.”
“Crap.”
“Damn.”
“Oh, God...”
“Oh dear...”
“Jin did it!” Jimin shouted.
“I did no such thing!” Jin yelled, widening his eyes at the accusation.
“Ah, not so loud, my head!” Namjoon rubbed his temples.
“Then who did it!?” Taehyung yelled.
“HEY!” Jungkook shouted, making them flinch at the loud noise. “I don’t care who threw up on the sneakers. Each one of you should buy her a new pair and clean her shoes,”
“That seems fair,” Hobi spoke up.
“And you.” Jungkook turned to Jimin, frowning. “You almost ruined everything.”
“Me? What? How?” Jimin exclaimed
“You almost blabbed out my feelings for her!”
“Wha? Oh no, what did I say? I’m sorry!” he grinned sheepishly.
“You said quite enough...and you just had to say, Golden. You’re going to give her ideas if you keep that up.”
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Look Tae and I have a plan. Christmas will be coming up in a few months. Why not try a mistletoe kiss?”
“Why not let it go naturally, instead?” Namjoon spoke up. “Don’t force it.”
“Why don’t you just tell her your feelings, right now?” Yoongi asked.
“Don’t do that. Jennie is in a foul mood. Not a wise idea.” the leader advised.
“I actually think the mistletoe kiss is a cute idea.” Hobi smiled
“Wait a minute, how do you all know that Jungkookie loves our Ennie? Did you tell them?” Jimin asked Yoongi after watching them talk.
“Like I said, the kid makes it painfully obvious.” Yoongi shrugged.
“If there is a mistletoe kiss, just make sure it’s only for a few seconds. They’re still too young in my eyes.” Jin added
“No way! I want my ship to sail!” Jimin exclaimed.
“Keep it rated G in this dorm!” he demanded, causing Jimin to roll his eyes and pout.
Watching the members discuss JenKook, Jungkook cleared his throat to get their attention, “Do you all...approve?” he nervously asked.
Hobi chuckled softly. “The both of you already act like a couple anyway,"
“Might as well add the kissing and future dates.” Yoongi agreed.
“I’m just...a little sad. You two are growing up a little too fast for me. But it’s undeniable to see your love for her.” Jin smiled. “You two seem happier when together. It is adorable.”
“Let’s all just make sure that Jungkook is the one to tell her. That means no more almost blabbing out the big secret, Jimin.” Namjoon added.
“I said I was sorry!” Jimin exclaimed, burying his face in his hands.
"It's okay, Jimin," Jungkook reassured him.
“When are you going to tell her?” Yoongi turned to Jungkook.
“Honestly, wait until after these events are over. We have a lot of work with the comeback and the end of the year shows. After these busy days, tell her. We’ll make sure not to interrupt you two when you’re alone with her.” Namjoon suggested.
The members went Nike sneaker shopping for Jennie and split up into groups. Jungkook went with Namjoon, browsing around for the shoes.
“Out of all the girls, I’m happy you want her. Nothing will change when you two date.” Namjoon spoke, catching Jungkook’s attention.
“You’re not mad?”
“About what?”
“Falling for her? You don’t think it’s a distraction?”
“If anything, I see the both of you as each other’s motivation. I never saw it as a distraction. Bang PD wouldn’t think so either.”
“He knows too?”
“The whole company knows, Jungkook.” Namjoon chuckled.
“Aish...Jimin and Taehyung with their big mouths.”
“Oh, it wasn’t them. It was you.”
“But I never said anything to anyone.”
“Your actions gave it away.” he placed a hand on his shoulder. “If there was any man I’d want our Miss Bangtan to be with, it would be you. I see your maturity grow when it comes to her. When you are around her, you act more like yourself than you act with other girls. She keeps you grounded. I also love how patient she is with you. All of us, really. It’s not easy living with seven men but she manages to keep us all in check. She takes care of us. Can’t take that for granted.”
Jungkook smiled and nodded at his words. “Do you think she’ll love me back?”
“I want you to see it for yourself. Pay attention to how she acts around you. Both of you will be lucky to have each other. Jennie is a dime. When you have her, don’t let her go.”
“Trust me, I’ll never let her go.”
