Author's Note: Hey! I wrote this story back in 2016 on some fanfic websites and am bringing it back as I edit the chapters. I wanted to put my perspective and imagination on what if BTS had a black girl in their group from America. This'll be a long story starting from their debut so enjoy the ride!
I have so many chapters already written. I had stopped in the story around late 2016 before the MAMA Awards. As I wrote this story over the years I wanted this character to be relatable and grow as a performer as well as go through hardships. It'll be a slow start but it will get better as the chapters go on, I hope you give it a chance.
This will mainly start with friendship. Not just the character and the love interest. I didn't want to rush things and I tried my best to add a lot of bonding and cute moments. This is a SLOW BURN with my OC and Jungkook. The two will not become a couple until 2016.

「 A compilation of Chaeri and Jungkook caught on camera 」
Video posted on YouTube by chaekooknation
Hello everyone, this is chaekooknation speaking!
I'm back with a compilation of videos and super-zoomed images of how Chaeri and Jungkook act when they think they're not in front of the cameras
I'd like to remind everyone that this is a video purely for the enjoyment of fans who, like me, believe there's something more than friendship between the two of them ♡
clip one ⸻ 🎬
⠪ September 2018; Canada
⠪ At that time the members were on tour for the 'Love yourself world tour'
⠪ After the last Canadian stage in Hamilton we know that they stayed a couple of days there before leaving for New Jersey
⠪ We know this in particular because of a dinner they had one of those evenings
⠪ We all remember videos and photos posted by the staff of one of the most exclusive restaurants there
⠪ These include a video of Chaeri and Jungkook that is a bit suspicious, don't you think?
⠪ When she noticed that someone from the restaurant staff was filming her having her hand on Jk's face she made a shocked expression
⠪ Sis, why be surprised? You live constantly on camera
⠪ Unless you were about to do something that others should not know about
⠪ Anyway, she became smooth again after a second and moved her hand to the back of his neck
⠪ SUS
clip two ⸻ 🎬
⠪ 22.04.2017; After a vlive
⠪ For this picture we have to credit our Jin hyung who posted them on weverse without them knowing
⠪ I quote the description "Armys our maknae stayed with you as long as she could. Can we all agree to scold Jungkook for not letting her sleep in peace? Turn off the lights!"
⠪ Chaeri and Jungkook had spent almost an hour chatting with us armys
⠪ "I am in Jungkookie's(hotel) room now, when we say goodnight to you I will go back to mine."
⠪ SHE NEVER DID!!!!
⠪ Isn't it adorable the way he keeps his arm around her body?
clip three ⸻ 🎬
⠪ 2019; SBS Gayo Daejeon Music Festival
⠪ Photo taken by a group of fans from afar
⠪ Seems to be right after the show ended, probably they were waiting to leave
⠪ Fixing his coat is such an intimate and loving gesture
⠪ I wouldn't do it with just a friend. Would you do that?
⠪ Chaeri is always so caring, when it comes to him a little bit more
⠪ It was so cold that year, I'm sure she didn't want him to freeze
⠪ The way he looks at her!!!
clip four ⸻ 🎬
⠪ [BANGTAN BOMB] Meeting with Megan Thee Stallion pt2 | A night out
⠪ It was decided at the last minute there would be two Bangtan Bombs with the rapper: The first to meet her and the last to spend an evening together
⠪ Megan is amazing and beautiful, meeting her was a pleasure for all members, it's obvious
⠪ Chaeri might have been annoyed just for a moment perhaps
⠪ That way she tries to hold on to his coat and then retreat realizing she is being filmed makes me think (and laugh)
⠪ I don't think she felt threatened by Megan's beauty
⠪ Perhaps she was simply bored with all the attention she was giving Jungkook
⠪ Jealous Chaeri >>>>
clip five ⸻ 🎬
⠪ 2016; ISAC
⠪ We had to zoom in a lot to get a good look at them
⠪ We remember the impact Chaeri had on the show, fighting to make the competitions mixed and no longer only for men or only for women
⠪ The camera was focusing on the other members, Chaeri and Jungkook could only be seen by those paying close attention
⠪ The way she hit the bull's eye of the target every time during the competition must have made Jungkook very proud
⠪ But do you see the way he looks at her at the end?
⠪ Google search: How to find someone who looks at you the way Jungkook looks at Chaeri
clip six ⸻ 🎬
⠪ 2018; Mama in Hongkong (Backstage)
⠪ I loved how nonchalantly Chaeri spent the time before the performance eating rather than rehearsing
⠪ We know how much Chaeri hates to be bothered while she's eating, but this seems like an appreciated interference
⠪ Very low photo quality but we had to zoom in a lot too to make it clear who it was
⠪ The glasses Jungkook is wearing are seen back on her at the end of the video, during the goodbyes
clip seven ⸻ 🎬
⠪ 2016; Suwon
⠪ At that time their fame was still growing, there were not as many armys as today
⠪ BLESSED SOUL, THOUGH, THAT FOUND HERSELF IN THE SAME PLACE WHERE THE MEMBERS DECIDED TO GO ICE-SKATING
⠪ I tell you, it was hard to find this video
⠪ They are totally in a world of their own
⠪ Don't you think JK teaching Chaeri anything is the best Jk? He is always so careful with her
⠪ She clearly terrified
⠪ I bet he wanted to burst out in laughter
⠪ I wish there were more moments of that day to share together
clip eight ⸻ 🎬
⠪ BTS in the soop; Season one
⠪ Is it just me or does it seem like they were kissing at first!?
⠪ The guys' cameramen give us joy every time and I don't think they even know about it
⠪ They were filming some of the boys outside the house but if you look carefully in one of the windows you can see these two silhouettes
⠪ To me it's obvious it's the two of them
⠪ What song do you think they were dancing to?
⠪ PLEASE we need to know
clip nine ⸻ 🎬
⠪ 2021; After the episode '131' of RUN BTS
⠪ If someone asked me to show them a video about love I would show them this
⠪ The fact that Jimin accidentally caught them behind him during his vlive makes it even cuter
⠪ This is how they act when they think the cameras are off
⠪ Chaeri smile with her eyes when she's close to her Jungkook
⠪ Who would touch her hair like that if not someone deeply in love?
⠪ We have to thank our Chaekook fan n1 Jimin for the video and the producers of RUN BTS for throwing water on them for all that time
⠪ Looks to me like she's also wearing a men's shirt…did he give it to her?
Thank you all for watching my video!
It seems quite evident that there is something more between the two, what are your opinions?
Stay tuned for more Chaekook videos
Bye!
Silver Lining - What If #6: FOR(ever) ↔️ YOU(ng) - Jikook the Musical
Good Morning - by Verbal Jint [10 Years of Misinterpretation Part I]
[Music is a very big part of my life and I’m MOSTLY INCAPABLE of writing without music, so I just thought I'd share what I am listening to while writing this]
🐺 — 🐺 — 🐺—
Dear Ladies, Gentlemen and Distinguished Enbies, welcome to a one day only “showing” of FOR(ever) ↔️ YOU(ng) - Jikook the Musical. Tonight I shall try my best to narrate a cute little story, which has various songs as centre plot developers; hence a “musical”. Taken individually, all these events may seem absolutely disconnected, and with no relevance to each other. However, as I started to collect them, they turned out to compose quite the neat little story about two boys their love for music and perhaps each other? So grab a snack, and a thin hat everyone, sit, relax and enjoy the show.
SCENE 1: FOR YOU
This story brings us all the way back to almost 8 years ago, to be precise, the year is 2015, the date is August 18 and during BTS’ Japan Official Fan Meeting Undercover Mission in Osaka (this fan meet went on from the 13th to the 20th of August), while playing a game, JM suddenly loses consciousness and falls off stage. He is taken to a hospital immediately and as soon they are explained the situation, Big Hit Entertainment tweets the following:
TRANSLATION:
The same day, JM himself goes ahead and posts the following
TRANSLATION:
Fans panicked. Obviously VERY LUCKILY FOR ME: I WASN’T AROUND AT THE TIME. As for his members, I am sure they were worried out of their minds, so much so that one particular member would express his relief perhaps at having JM safe and sound back with them, right on their very stage. This member was JK, whom two days later (August 20), on the last day of this event, as they performed "For You", walked right by JM and stopped for a couple of seconds, looking at him while he was singing part of the song’s first verse. For the rest of the song, it would become quite visible how JM couldn’t help but smile (cutely).
youtube
SCENE 2: I KNOW
So, even though we do not have an elaborated tale of what all the members must have felt exactly, it is safe to say that JM’s accident had a bit of an effect on JK’s mind. So much so that, a couple of months later, while he was playing around as Romeo & Juliet with JM, on the shoot-set of Season Greetings 2016, JK suddenly “refused” to play with JM because, and I quote:
Let’s fast forward to June 2016, this time we are in Paris, and the boys decide to start a VLIVE just before performing at KCON and, at the beginning of the live, we only have VMIN in sight. They start to talk about RM & JK’s new song “I Know” and, as the two are actually in the room but off camera, Tae asks bribes JK to sing a bit of the song. We still can’t see JK, but, while Tae looks away JM looks straight into JK’s direction as the latter proceeds to sing
🎶Know you love me, boy
So that I love you🎵
… The expression on JM’s face is priceless the things I’d give to know how JK sang this to JM. ANYWAYS, RM eventually also joins into a funny rendition of the song and when they are done, VMIN resumes talking to ARMY and though we will never know for sure what caused it, perhaps JK’s expression, or the lyrics, or the fact that it was JK or all things together, or none of the above, BUT JM did stumble his way through trying to describe the song, in the words of Tae, JM suddenly seemed to be a bit “nervous” almost as if someone had suddenly serenaded him out of nowhere.
Another example at JM being flustered actually happened a month earlier to the Paris trip, at the ISAC where the Tannies needed to sing a song called Hand in Hand and while they are practising (at minute 0:57) I believe that JK might have change the lyrics to “promise me” but don’t quote me on that!, which made JM react in that way Joon and Hobi on the other hand; LOOOL 😬.
youtube
Basically, 10 months had effectively passed since the “For You Incident-Serenade” and it feels as if JK might have caught on to the fact that the easiest way to get a flustered reaction from JM is to sing to him. Perhaps he had to sing at him a couple more times off camera, in order to confirm this theory AS ALWAYS; WE WILL NEVER KNOW but from this moment on, whenever he’d find a chance to, it would seem like JK would take the topic at hand and find a way to romantically sing it at JM.
SCENE 3: A DAY LONG AGO
It is finally February 2017, and love isn’t the only thing in the air, in fact, on paper actually, on February 7, JK graduates high school. He is visibly hella excited, and though he goes to the ceremony alone, all his members show up, and afterwards, on their way to the restaurant, VMINKOOK share a ride. For the most part jikook are doing most of the talking and at a point in which JM is talking a very eager looking JK suddenly starts singing, at JM, the beginning lyrics from A day Long Ago (오래전 그날) by Yoon Jong Shin.
youtube
AND, For the very first time on-camera, JM does his very best not to react. We can still see the slight hint of a smile, but for the most part, he’s successfully brushed it off and he is very quick at keeping the topic of discussion on track.
youtube
This might have thrown off someone like your-truly, but JK? No, the boy likes a good challenge. JK nor was discouraged, nor did he try to force JM to listen to him, he just went along with JM. We are talking about an almost 20 year old boy who, for the greater part of 2016 (that is when he turned 19, which is the age you become an adult in Korea) has been trying his mighty best to have his hyungs, and JM in particular, understand that he is now an adult and that he has been for quite some time. But hyungs gonna hyung, immaright? Sorry JK…
SCENE 4: BEST OF ME
Now, I don’t know what happened in the months between JK’s graduation and the 1st of October (2017), but there seems to be no on-camera attempt of JK even attempting to sing at JM, in fact, if anything, JK has been trying to appeal in different ways. For example, JM-Encyclopedia JK makes an appearance, or I’d rather not call you hyung makes a strong comeback. Regardless, for the first time, at the Fan Meet in Goyang (1st October, 2017) JM is singing at JK lyrics from the “Best of Me” where he substitutes the word heaven (cheonkook) with Jungkook (he would do it again on episode 28 of RUN BTS, which would be broadcasted on November 7, 2017, but telling from the hairstyles it was probably filmed around the same period as the Goyang Fan Meet).
We are now halfway through the movie, and though our heroes have gone through a series of back-and-forths, they haven’t really encountered any “conflicts” per say; namean? Sure, JM is the one doing the singing now, because maybe he is trying to get JK’s attention. Had he lost said attention? Had something happened between the two of them? Or had their relationship evolved to a point in which he was just trying to return some of the musical energy he’d received thus far? WE WILL NEVER KNOW unless they tell us that is. But what we know is that a good 30 days after this, JK would take JM on what we now know to be, thanks to Beyond The Story, a healing trip to Tokyo, which would give birth to the first and most famous gcf: GCF in TOKYO.
youtube
SCENE 5: BOY WITH LUV
Upon returning from Japan the two of them feel closer. It looks like they had the time of their life and they can’t seem to be able to talk about anything else. Basically they appear to be quite smitten with this shared experience, and perhaps, with each other? In addition, while still being the maknae, JK is sort of shifting into being more of a protective entity for JM and though JM tries his best to keep him in that designated maknae-slot, he also can’t help but indulge in the “offered protection”.
They are now spending a lot more time together and this fact is not lost on some people in their environment, regardless of whether said people want to admit it or not. Particularly in 2018 (where, before even getting to the infamous Nampyeon-Namchin December )
we are in Hamilton, September 22nd, on their Love Yourself Tour. As they perform Attack on Titan, during the song’s break, JK pulls a For You Serenade-typa thing, but this is not 2015 and JK is no longer 17. This time, he focuses on JM for the whole part, hair pushed back and all, and for the first time in a while JM is visibly flustered, he silently giggles, turns towards ARMY, and also pushes his hair back. JK’s satisfied expression as he got JM’s attention says it all.
youtube
Yeah, this is not the same JK. He is not a boy who is relieved to see his bandmate's being well and alive, or trying to use the situation to his advantage in an awkwards manner. NO. This is a 21 year old, who’s just come back from the trip of a lifetime, this right here, seems to me, to be a boy with luv.
Speaking of which, fast-forward a couple of months, May 21, 2019, they are in California, and as they are getting ready to perform on The Voice, Memories 2019 will show us how, for the first time JK substitutes words of a song while singing at JM. He substitutes the word “Love is” with “Jimin” while singing Boy With Luv at JM, who acts like he is ignoring him completely but actually proceeds to sing along. Who knew there was an art in serenading and beginning serenaded? Jikook circa 2015 🤡
Indeed, there is nothing stronger than a boy with luv, let’s not forget that a couple of weeks prior to this (May 5th to be exact) Rose Bowl-gate did happen. Well, up to this point, all seems very flowery and very peachy; what could go wrong, right?.
SCENE 6: THE TRUTH UNTOLD
AND, here we are, the part right before the end of the “musical”. We all know some sort of “big conflict is coming” and at this point some might just turn off the movie and leave it at a happy place but the majority will probably just brave it through to this day I start watching Baz Luhrman’s Romeo + Juliet and stop the movie right before the part whenthey take the fake poison, nobody dies in my Romeo + Juliet, thank you, bye! . Let’s brave it through.
Things are going quite well in Jikook world. The Tannies were given a break for the first time ever and thought JM left to go explore the world, he made sure to travel all the way back to Seoul to spend JK’s birthday with him, just to then travel off again; dedication. BTS then takes off to go and shoot Bon Voyage 4, and amongst the many things JK goes up a mountain and comes down with snow for JM; devotion. The two of them are living life, all while diligently performing touring as well.
Thus comes the end of the Speak Yourself tour, Seoul, October 26, 2019. The vocal line performs The Truth Untold and it happens, not only do JK and JM turn to face each other as they sing the last part of the song, but they also change “And” to “But”.
youtube
Jikookers who notice are left speechless, but jikookers weren’t the only people who noticed. That and a series of “jikook moments” throughout 26th-29th of October, made October 30, 2019 quickly roll by and the following happens:
I can’t even imagine what it must have felt to have experienced THAT. To be honest I don’t even want to think about it, but then actually is more like “I can’t believe they actually fucking did that…”. BUT, guess who won the IDGAF war?:
JIKOOK
I bet many thought jikook would perhaps “tone it down”, but they kept being themselves. They kept being as affectionate, annoying, close and “flirty” as per usual, I mean some time in 2020 we got 👇🏾
So yeah, I suppose, love will always win.
SCENE 7: GOOD MORNING
It’s now 2023. All the boys are getting ready to go to MS, as a result, they are giving it their all working on solo projects. Jikook has finally managed to become a bit more private, and this isn’t as a consequence to what happened in 2019 (if not we wouldn’t have had that hickey-incident). A lot has happened since then, but I believe that, perhaps, as things got more serious, and as they got older, their relationship naturally progressed into something more mature, personal and deeper in significance. For example JM associating JK with the song Young Forever
*The writing in the shoe where JM is sticking his tongue out says Jeon Jungkook.
a song that holds a very special place in JM’s heart; tattoo-worthy special.
There is that, the adult side … Aaaand then there is also JK & JM quietly spending 4 days together in NYC/CT, in the midst of JK’s debut (perhaps getting content ready?) and there is also JK half naked in bed trying to bait JM into doing a live with him and starting off the bat with singing at JM the initial lyrics from Good Morning by Verbal Jint.
Their fifth week in the military is now complete. Jikook are nearing the end or have now completed basic training. It's time to celebrate this major milestone with a look back at this week in 2017.
The Wings Album including Blood, Sweat and Tears, was released the previous October 2016 and BTS had spent the last months of the year promoting it.
On 14th January they attended the Golden Disk Awards winning the Bonsang for Wings and the Global K-pop Artist Award.
youtube
This was also the show where BTS, EXO and Shinee were dancing to Rainism (3.44 min onwards) off stage and Jungkook was really getting into it. See 2.20 -2.30 mins of the video below for jikook antics and Jungkook athleticism.
youtube
The next day Jimin thanked everyone on Twitter.
Also this week on the 16th January BTS filmed the Idol Star Athletics Championship (ISAC) Games.
Jimin posted photos with all the members on BTS Twitter.
He also posted with JK saying, "Did you enjoy your meal? The lunch chicken is Jungkook I drew the dinner chicken"
This was the games where the audience called out that it was Jimin o'clock at 10.13 am.
Jungkook, JHope, RM and Suga came second in the 400 m relay.
youtube
Let's not mention Jin, Jimin and Tae's placement in the archery that year. Despite that I have to admit I am a sucker for Jimin with a bow.
Not sure if this was the last ISAC games they attended but ARMY legend goes that BTS were banned from the games due to their habit of spoiling content before it was released. I can't find any real evidence of that but maybe someone who was around at the time can shed more light on this.
The very first Run BTS!!! Episodes launched this month. The first episodes that launched weren't that long nor did they have any pictures.
Vlive had just launched and this month BTS started to use it to post lives
RThe red bullet tour continued
We also had BTS Japan Official Fanmeeting Volume 2. --UNDERCOVER MISSION- in Osaka- Japan (Osaka Festival Hall) (Jimin passed out during rehearsals) (archive)
We had some magazine features
150824 BTS at ASTA TV MAGAZINE September Issue. Translation. (archive)
150825 1st Look Magazine PUMA. (archive)
150830 [A.R.M.Y #2] Happy Birthday to you~ (September) (filmed during undercover mission Japan 18th Aug)
Those early Run BTS episodes were a joy to watch!!!!
infelizmente nós que gostamos de grupos da terceira geração, os anos seguintes estaremos sofrendo
Amg, nem fala...eu comecei a acompanhar o kpop no início da 3rd gen, mas só seguia os grupos da 2nd (mas geral já tava se alistando ou ainda ia demorar muito), mas aí a benção aqui decidiu começar a seguir a 3rd...HAHAHAHAHAA
eu fudi com minha vida
Alguém me fala o pq eu fui procurar sobre o brother que venceu do Jungkook no ISAC de 2016, hein???? Tava tudo de boa até aí galera...
Eu quero me jogar do primeiro andar do meu prédio hoje às 23:99
Many carats and monbebes are well aware of the friendship between the two groups. One commendable moment was their iconic MAMA special stage.
Yeona had always been timid, si while at rehearsal she had a bit of trouble getting around with the other group. Luckily for her, Monsta X were more than willing to approach her.
"It's hot isn't it?" The younger female heard Hyungwon speak up from behind her. They just finished a take of their performance and now they were given some time to rest before they can start rehearsals again. Yeona turned her head to come face to face with the Monsta X member and nodded her head.
Just then Hyungwon gave out his mini fan to the the girl. Yeona looked at it for a moment, confused. "You can take it" He offers. The seventeen dancer shook her head and gracefully denied his offer, feeling shy that he had to give out that was his.
"Oh no. It's fine, really" She said with a small smile while waving her hands to say no. However, Hyungwon didn't take no for an answer and grabed her hand so he could place the mini fan on her hand. "It's okay, I can share with the other members". As soon as he dropped the item on her hand, he made her fingers grasp it better, and walked with a smile.
____
Sharing the same dressing room
Not a lot of fans know this but Seventeen and Monsta X used to share dressing rooms when they were rookies (Seungkwan and Chan actually shared this on a live ><)
For a lot of moments, Yeona started to become closer with the other group through this experience. In many cases, she would be sitting on a couch having a casual conversation with I.M. or she would be joking around with Jooheon while they wait to be called for pre-recording.
Sometimes when Yeona would be sitting in front of the mirror while getting touched up, Wonho would sometimes stand behind her making faces in front of the mirror to distract her.

ISAC
Monbebes and Carats couldn't help but notice when Yeona and Kihyun sitting back and whispering to one another while their members play around. It was as if the two were gossiping about someone by the way they reacted to each other's stories.
It was also funny to see Yeona take videos of Shownu when he was running around in a circle (iykyk) because she couldn't help but think it was hilarious and cute at the same time.

BEING FEATURED ON EX-GIRL
Last 2016, Yeona was given the chance to feature in one of monsta x’s b-side tracks named Ex-Girl.
This marked as one of her first solo projects outside of Seventeen, and with other artists. People couldn’t help but praise her for her sweet voice and stated that the song matched her really well.
Monsta X even mentioned her during one of their interviews stating that they were really grateful that Yeona accepted the offer to sing alongside them and even talked about how fun it was to work with her.
“I remember when we first called her to ask her if she wanted to feature in one of our songs and the first thing she told us was ‘If you’re kidding right now, I’ll never talk to you again’. We really didn’t make a wrong choice when we invited her.” - Wonho
Likewise, Yeona also stated that Monsta X had greatly helped her during recording and cheered her on.
“Hyungwon oppa and Minhyuk oppa were were there when I was recording my part of the song. Before I went inside I told them that I was a bit nervous because it was the first song I’ll be recording outside of Seventeen but they really reassured me a lot that I’ll do great and made sure to give me enough encouragement when I was inside the recording booth.”

CALLING EACH OTHER ON VLIVES
Another fan favorite moment was when Jooheon called Yeona while she was doing her birthday live.
In the middle of talking to the fans, Yeona was surprised to suddenly hear her phone ring only to find out it was Jooheon from Monsta X. The girl picked up the call with a smile, "Oppa! Hello!" She greeted happily.
"CHOI YEONA!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" The older member shouted. The phone wasn't on loud speaker but the viewers could partially hear him due to his shouting. "Thank you!" Yeona shouted back to match his energy. "I'm actually on vlive right now"
"Oh really?"
"Can I put you on speaker?" The girl asked politely. When she got an approval, she turned on speaker mode and asked Jooheon to introduce himself.
A few seconds later, a muffled voice was heard from the background, then she heard a voice of another member. "Yeona! Happy Birthday!" Changkyun echoed in the background.
