The Bangtan Gal Chapter 43- Our First Win

Chapter Summary: Jen joins V, Rap Monster and Jessi in an episode of Hello Counselor. BTS promote their new album and get their first set of wins

Words: 8,000+

--------

“We listen to your concerns. National counseling session!” The MC announced as everyone applauded.

Jennie sat in between Namjoon and Taehyung as the MCs announced them as special guests along with Kim Kayeon, Lim Yohwan and Jessi. The show Jen attended today was called Hello Counselor and she was excited to see what would happen on the show.

After the MCs asked for Jessi and Rapmon to rap, they turned to Tae. “Good looking V, what can you do? You can imitate an elephant?”

“I have an elephant on my body.” He answered as the crowd laughed. He lifted his sleeve to reveal his arm. “I have two spots on my arm. If I do this, it’s an elephant.” He pinched his arm, showing it off.

“Lovely, Jennie!” The MC called out.

“Yes?” She smiled.

“What can you do?”

“I play the guitar.”

“Wow, what type?”

“Mainly acoustic. It’s my strong suit and it’s my favorite instrument. I feel as though I can really express myself when I have my hands on a guitar. Whatever emotion I feel, I strum and you can hear it.”

“What mood are you in now?”

“Happy.” She beamed as the studio applauded. She was handed an acoustic guitar and made sure it was tuned. “I guess I’ll do the acoustic version of I Need U.”

Once she started to strum the chorus of the song, the studio went silent. After she was finished, the studio erupted in cheers, some were shocked at how precise her guitar skills were.

“BTS released a new song, too. Can you sing a little of it for us?” The MCs requested

“We’ll dance.” Rapmon stood up with Jen and Tae to perform the chorus dance of I Need U. Once they were done, they were applauded

For the show’s concerns, it was listed as, Dad, let’s be happy, My unpretty daughter and My husband’s change of heart.

The MCs go with my unpretty daughter first and it’s from a mom. She has no idea what to do with her daughter and she’s embarrassed because of her. She doesn’t know what to say when people ask about her daughter, asking if she has a job. The mother claimed her daughter is 38 years old, does rap and is flippant. The mom showed her concern that her daughter doesn’t seem to understand how she feels about the situation.

The MC continued to read that the daughter had been rapping for 2 years and her TV audition was cut out from a show and failed the preliminary. Jennie cringed when she heard about that. Must’ve been really bad for them to cut out an audition.

Once the mother, Jeong Chaeok, walked out and slid down the slide, she sat in the middle of the guests and MCs.

“It’s a concern that your daughter wants to be a rapper?” The MCs asked.

“Yes. A woman should meet a nice man, get married, have a baby and be loyal to our country.” The mom declared.

‘But not everyone wants to date. Not everyone wants kids or wants to get married. What’s wrong with that?’ Jennie thought in her head.

She had to keep in mind she was from America. Different countries have different standards and traditions. She had a different mentality about dating and marriage than the mother.

But what’s wrong with being independent?

Personally, Jennie wanted kids when she was married. She thought about it, no one in her family told her that she should, she thought of it on her own. She didn’t think it was a big deal if other women didn’t want to do that.

“It’s a good thing you came. That’s Jessi. She’s the queen of rapping.” The MC pointed out.

“Hello.” Jessi bowed.

“I don’t know her.” The mom bluntly replied, causing the crowd to laugh.

Jennie cringed at her bluntness.

“Those young people over there. That’s Rap Monster, Jennie and V. They’re good at rapping.”

“The boys are very good looking.” The mother said, causing Jennie and Jessi to have a rain cloud over their heads, feeling shaded.

‘A clearly different response’

“All righty, then,” Jennie murmured.

The mother goes on about how her daughter isn’t ladylike and wears a cap crookedly and wears torn clothes. Jessi immediately hid her legs that exposed her knees.

“I don’t like that.” The mom looked at Jessi’s jeans.

Jennie held onto Tae, laughing with him and the rest of the studio when the mother performed the hidden dance talent that she found when she was 49.

“I’m deceased!” She giggled.

When they met the daughter, everyone applauded her. The daughter revealed that her nickname is ZiZi and wished to release an album in her name.

“I want to show people women can rap, too.” The daughter said.

“Jessi is rapping a lot.” The MC pointed out.

“She just became famous.” The daughter replied, earning laughs from the crowd.

Jennie dropped her jaw at her sudden statement while Jessi stared at her. It looked like Jessi wanted to write a diss track on the poor girl.

Later, the daughter revealed that she’s crazy about Zico from Block B, fell for him and wants to meet him in person, so she thought that rapping lessons would help. She received compliments from her teachers and since she likes Zico, her dream is to become a rapper. She wants to perform on the stage Zico stands on. She sounded so determined, wanting to successfully be a rapper.

“How much are you rapping?” Rapmon spoke up

“I’m reading collections of famous sayings. Rappers write their own lyrics. I listen to songs for about 6-7 hours. I’m on the internet a lot to see what’s going on in the world. I want to write lyrics people can sympathize with a lot. I don’t want to swear or speak English just because I rap.”

“Your mother wants you to get married. Don’t you want to date?” The MCs asked.

“No.” The daughter answered. “Men are a luxury for me, right now. I made a huge bet with my life. I’ll fail or succeed. Men are a luxury for me. I’m firm about it.”

Jennie felt kind of bad for the daughter as the mom put her on the blast throughout the show. She stayed quiet watching everyone else talk. Then the daughter came up to the stage to show off her rapping.

“The title is Strong Eonni.” The daughter revealed and then started to rap. “People say I act strong, sorry but I’m really strong. I don’t act innocent. I’m just honest. My image? Don’t judge me like that. I have a lot of affection and tears. I don’t express my feelings, so people misunderstand. Even women think I’m charismatic. I’m a woman after all. People think I’m strong and can’t talk to me. Fall for my charm and there’s no exit. I’m cute just to you. I listen well and I’m exemplary. I can cook anything just like that. All I know is you. I’m a fool.”

“You should audition for Unpretty Rapstar,” Jessi suggested.

“I’ve thought about it.” The daughter added.

“I think you’ll fail. She lacks in delivery and flow.” Jessi demonstrated a rap for her.

Later on in the show, it was revealed that the daughter didn’t attend family gatherings and didn’t attend her uncle’s funeral. The mother explained that she envies her friends who have weddings and she wants a son in law, all set for her daughter to marry. She even had her daughter go on blind dates but the daughter turned the guys down.

The MCs decided to ask if the female guests had any love interests and then turned to Jennie. “Miss Bangtan, have you had a boyfriend?”

“Not yet.” She shook her head.

“No boyfriend?” The MCs go on again, surprised.

“No boyfriend.” She confirmed.

“How?” they asked as the studio laughed.

Jennie was kind of surprised by their response. She guessed they thought she would be dating right now for some apparent reason.

“A chick is busy. Boys can wait. I’m still young.” she replied.

"And he'll have to go through us," Rapmon spoke, causing the studio to laugh. It was clear that BTS was going to be protective of who came around Jennie.

“And my daughter is getting old.” The mom spoke up.

“Well I mean, love comes in all different ages. I believe she’s still young although she’s going on 40.” Jennie added.

“Jennie, what are your thoughts on this situation?” The MCs asked.

“I have a different mentality with marriage and kids. I’m not from here, so I have some cultural differences from you. I don’t see as much pressure to marry and have kids where I’m from. And I see that as long as you work hard, you can achieve your dreams. But I feel as though if you don’t want to get married, don’t get married. If you don’t want kids, then you don’t want kids.” She spoke up as everyone looked at her. “I understand the mom wants her to do these things, but at the end of the day, it’s her life. That’s my opinion. I don’t think she should be forced to do something she doesn’t want to do. And I mean, I’ve seen elderly people get married. I don’t see what the problem is with age. She’s still young, going on 40. That’s still young.”

Jennie turned her attention to the daughter. “Although you’re older than me, I think you should have a backup plan just in case something doesn’t go as planned with the rapping. I’m not going to be a K-Pop idol forever, and I do want to go to college and major in whatever I think will be right for me in the future. So, I would just keep that in mind as you continue to learn how to rap. I highly advise you to have a backup plan and make sure you are financially stable. And I do think you should still be with your family. I’m miles away from my family. It’s always a struggle for me to be away from my family while I’m here in Korea. I try to contact them as much as I can and see how they’re doing. I miss birthdays, I miss weddings, births, graduations, and a lot of things. But you, you’re here, in the same country as your family. Never forget your routes. Check up on them at times. Even if they might drive you crazy, because my family certainly does that, still contact them. They love you.”

It was frustrating to her that parents want their children to do this and that. But again, she needed to keep in mind that she held different traditions from others around her in this country. At the end of the segment, the daughter was requested to continue rapping for one year and if she’s not successful, quit.

Everyone began to vote if it was a concern or not.

“She wants to be a professional rapper,” Jessi spoke. “It’s a long way ahead. In my opinion...it’s better to do it as a hobby. Many people do it as a hobby.”

“It’s a concern,” Rapmon added. “I don’t want to stop her but I don’t think it would be right to tell her to keep going.”

“I won’t discourage you,” Jen spoke up. “You should do what you want. If you see that you’re not getting anywhere with the rapping, still keep the rapping as a hobby and go with your backup plan.”

“It’s a concern. Honestly, it’s better to get married. It’s the mother’s wish.” Taehyung stated.

Jen frowned a bit at his statement but kept her thoughts to herself.

In the end, the audience thought this was a concern and the daughter told her mom that she would start dating but won’t give up the rapping. 159 votes were counted, and the mom got 1st place, shocking the crowd as they applauded her. It seems like the mom will be on the show next week.

The next concern was, ‘Dad, let’s be happy’. It was about a 21-year-old college student talking about his dad working for 17 hours every day. Basically, all he does is sleep and work and the son wants his dad to rest. The dad doesn’t even go out with friends and always talks about how he needs to work. The son’s mom died from cancer six years ago and his dad became more addicted to work after that. The father doesn’t even go to the hospital despite having toothaches and knee pains.

They met the son, Kang Jaejun, and Jen remained quiet as he talked about his concerns about his father. His father knows English and still teaches at elementary, middle and high schools. He expressed that he thinks his father works more because he feels a heavier responsibility.

When the son pointed him out, the MCs requested Jessi and Jennie to say hello to him.

“Hello, Mister Kang!” Jessi greeted. “Where are you?”

“Hello, how are you doing, Mister Kang?” Jennie spoke with a smile after spotting him.

When he waved at them, he responded in English, “Fine, thank you.”

The BTS members stayed quiet throughout the segment until Jennie was asked about her thoughts on the situation.

“This right here is a serious issue. I know how it feels to overwork yourself. I collapsed from exhaustion during dance practice a while ago and it’s no joke. It’s scary. And with you being an older man, it may be even worse for you and hurt your body even more. The body cannot run 24/7, it’s impossible. The body needs to rest and you need to take care of yourself.” She responded as the MCs agreed with her statement.

At the end of the segment, the son suggests his dad meet new friends so he can go to the Army without any worries. Jennie thought the situation wasn’t that big of a concern because as long as they communicate with each other, they should be just fine. For the results, they got 75 and were eliminated.

The last concern was about a housewife of 10 years with two sons with a husband who won’t leave her alone day or night. He seems to have changed his mind a lot and had ten different jobs in 12 years. He even quit after one day of working.

‘Yikes.’ Jennie thought as she cringed.

He started a business and loved it when business was good but claimed he wanted to quit if the business was bad. The wife claims her husband is too fickle and that’s her concern. When the wife comes out, she expresses that her husband quits too easily.

‘Jeesh.’ Jen thought, glancing at Rapmon with the same wide eyed expression.

They listened to the wife rant about everything her husband wanted and changed his mind. It was a headache.

“Then, he said he needed a bike to go to work. He started again. He rode the bike for a month. He kept it at work. He changed it at least five times.” The wife explained.

“The bike?” The MCs asked.

“Yes, the bike. He doesn’t just buy the bike. He buys all the equipment. He doesn’t think about that when he sells it. He always justifies it by saying he received more money.”

“Did you see if he got more?”

“There’s no way he would get more. He spends a lot of money. I don’t want to fight, so I just let it go. Then he sold all the bikes. He started a restaurant, so he said he needed a motorcycle.”

“Why?”

“He had to buy ingredients at the store. He started it less than a year ago. The one he has now is the third one.”

Jennie and Rap Monster exhale, in disbelief at what she just told everyone. The MCs had their jaws dropped as the studio went silent.

‘That’s excessive’

When they met the husband, the wife expressed that he had different excuses when he quit his jobs. As the BTS members remained silent, watching everyone else talk, the husband mentioned that he brought his wife a luxury bag as an apology for the losses but the wife said that she was told to sell it if she didn’t carry the bag every day.

“Oh, my gosh.” Jessi laughed while Jennie let out a soft chuckle, shaking her head.

“I brought her one after selling the tank. The second one was from selling the bikes. She didn’t carry the first one at all. I thought we should sell it and...” The husband trailed off as everyone watched him.

‘Sell it and what?’

“Sell it and get a new bike for me.” The husband stated.

Jennie threw her arms up in the air, earning laughs from the crowd while Jessi was about to throw a pillow at him.

“Yo....” Jennie felt as frustrated as Jessi at how crazy the guy was.

“I want to throw this.” Jessi laughed and turned to Jennie. “You wanna hit him, too?”

“Oh yeah.”

“Jessi, Jennie, this can’t be in the US?” The Mcs asked as they both shook their heads.

Near the end of the show, everyone expressed their opinion on whether it was a concern or not.

“It’s a concern,” V answered.

“It’s a concern. I can understand how the husband feels, too. It’s too frequent and excessive though.” Rap Monster added. “I think he needs time to endure and heal on his own.”

“It’s a concern,” Jennie answered, pressing the button.

“I’ll make it short. It’s a concern.” Jessi pressed the button.

At the end of the voting, the wife received 132 votes, making My Unpretty Daughter the new winner of the show, receiving a prize of $1,000.

“Until the day Korea has no more concerns, Hello Counselor is here to help. Thank you!” The MCs closed the show

On April 15th, G-Friend attended Weekly Idol. The girls were seated, going over each member’s profile.

“Next is Hayoon. She is the Shy Girlfriend. She loves to bake, rollerskate, and enjoys acrobats as a hobby. She is well known for her dimples in G-Friend.” Coni read as she showed off a big smile, revealing her deep dimples.

“Are you close to any idols?” Doni asked as Hayoon nodded eagerly. The members giggled at her as he gestured for her to answer.

“The idol I’m closest to is Jennie. I love her, she’s my best friend.” She shyly revealed with a smile.

“Miss Bangtan? BTS’ Jennie?” Coni asked as she nodded.

“She is incredibly sweet.” Hayoon continued. “She has helped me a lot, giving me strong words of encouragement before I debuted in G-Friend. She has given me a boost of confidence in myself. She is so patient with me, too.”

The crowd aws at her words. “Well, it’s funny that you mentioned her because she is actually here, right now. Let’s welcome her!”

Jennie walked out, waving as she saw Hayoon immediately rush up to her, to hug her. She let out a laugh and hugged her tightly before sitting with Doni and Coni.

“Jennie, it seems like you are very loved, by Hayoon.” Coni laughed as she nodded.

“How’d you two become so close?” Doni asked.

“Well, we go to the same school. SOPA. Met her during the first day. She’s shy so I just kept talking to her until she started to talk.” Jen explained. “It worked out pretty well because now she can’t stop talking to me. She can’t shut up.” She teased as everyone laughed.

As fans watched the show, they would tweet:

‘Jen looks so happy! I love seeing her smile.’

‘JenHoon! I ship it!’

‘They are so cute!’

After the show, Hayoon and Jen go to Big Hit’s dance studio together.

“I cannot believe you’re making me do this,” Jennie murmured after stretching.

Today Hayoon was going to show her one of G-Friend’s dances. The Bangtan girl was skeptical because cute dances weren’t her thing. She felt awkward about it, but Hayoon was eager to teach her.

“This was long overdue. Now watch me.” Hayoon waited for her to press play as Glass Bead came on.

Jennie watched silently as she performed the entire dance, dancing in sync with the music. After she was done, she turned to Jennie with a bright smile.

Staring at her with a poker face, Miss Bangtan shook her head. “No.”

“Yes.”

“Nope.”

“Yep.”

“There is no way.”

“There is a way.”

“Why?”

“Why not?”

“This is not me.”

“This will be you, today.”

“This is too cute!”

“You’re too cute! Hehehe. Let’s go step by step.” She gestured for her to stand next to her. As she taught Jen the dance, she giggled at her facial expressions whenever she thought the dance move was too foreign for her.

“I gotta shake my butt, too?”

“Your hips. Do it cutely. Not sexy.” Hayoon demonstrated.

“I’m not really a cute type of person, Yoonie!"

“Tell that to Jungkook!”

“What?” Jennie turned to the door and saw him watching. “Oh my God. How long have you been there!?" She kneeled and covered her face, while Hayoon laughed.

“Long enough.” Jungkook smiled, thinking about how cute her reaction was. “I’m meeting with Jimin to practice. I couldn’t help but hear G-Friend’s music. I had to see what was going on. I’ll leave you two, to it.” He giggled and left.

Jen felt like she was going to drown from embarrassment. He really just watched her struggle with this cute, well-choreographed dance.

As she continued to dance, Hayoon giggled again. “Smile Jennie! You’re too serious, this isn’t a badass concept! Okay, don’t force the smile, now you look scary!”

“Yoon, this is my resting bitch face.”

“Smile!”

She forced a smile while she danced.

“Okay, now you’re just faking it.” She playfully scolded.

Jen tripped on her feet and fell. Sighing loudly, and yelled, “I SUCK!”

“You’ll get it, don’t worry. You got the dance down, you just need to stop overthinking it because it’s not what you’re used to doing.”

Later at night, Jennie decided to FaceTime her sister, Alani, to discuss BTS’ upcoming comeback.

“How are you feeling?” Alani asked with a smile.

“Nervous. It’s a highly anticipated comeback.”

“It’s normal to feel nervous. But don’t worry, you guys are going to go out there and have a blast on stage. I have a great feeling about this comeback.”

“You do? We really want our first win. I hope we’re able to get it. We got third place last time when we were nominated during the Danger era. We’ve been trying to work hard to achieve this goal.”

“Do you think you guys can do it?”

“Yes.”

“Keep that mindset. Good things happen to those who wait, y’know. Keep working hard. It’ll pay off one day. Just don’t be discouraged and don’t give up. We’ll be watching.”

-------

On April 29th, the members were on Star Attack. The members sat next to each other as they answered a variety of questions. Jennie sat in between Suga and Jin.

‘What are you guys doing lately?’

“I think we can say that we’re in full swing with preparing for the comeback,” Rapmon answered as they mentioned their concerts abroad and how international fans are a driving force in their growth abroad.

“We will give you 1 question and 1 answer.” The production crew gave the members questions to answer.

‘To Jin, what is handsomeness?’

“Isn’t this an extremely important question?” Jimin asked.

“I was handsome from when I was born. My life is smeared with my handsomeness.” Jin confidently answered.

“Pff!” Rapmon couldn’t hold back his laugh.

“I love his confidence.” Jennie praised. “He’s such a King.”

‘To Jungkook, what is fragrance?’

“My skin and flesh, bone...” Jungkook went on.

“Why is fragrance a part of your body?” Jin asked.

“To me, it’s that important.”

“Speaking of fragrances, has anyone seen my perfume?” Jennie brought up. “I had a small bottle of grapefruit perfume. I cannot find it for the life of me. I just brought the thing.”

“Yeah, where is it Jungkookie?” Jimin put him on blast.

“PFF!” Rapmon laughed again, covering his face while the Golden Maknae looked down, embarrassed.

Jennie raised a brow. “You took it?”

“I-it smelled nice!”

“You could’ve just asked!”

“Would you have said yes?”

“No!”

“Then why should I ask!?”

“Because it’s mine!”

The members laughed at their bickering and they got back to the program.

‘To Jennie, what are smarties?’

“Well, I’ll have you know that smarties are a blessing from my Lord and Savior. This God given treat is the best and I can’t get enough. I would love to own the company so I can have free smarties for life.” She smiled innocently while the members laughed at her answer. “I’m dead serious, I’m not joking.”

“W-wait, she’s not joking?” The members were scared at her serious expression.

‘To J-Hope, what are tears?’

“Yah~ why does it have to be this type of question? It’s another one of J Hope’s charms, is it not? People can’t always be full of brightness only. Reverse charms. It feels like girls find men with tears...”

‘To Jimin, what are abs?’

“It’s homework. It’s like if I do this, I’ll receive praise but if I don’t do it then...I’ll have it for only 10 years more.”

‘To Rap Monster, the end of forgetfulness is?’

“Recently I lost my bag. A while back, after I lost my wallet, I received another one from Suga hyung. But I put that wallet in my bag and I lost that bag as well.” The leader answered.

“Mm-mm-mm.” Jennie shook her head.

‘To V, what is the world of outer space?’

“Seems like the questions can go from state of mind to outer space.” He answered. “I think there are rabbits on the moon.”

‘To Suga, what is Daegu?’

“It’s also my hometown, I’m from Daegu, why didn’t I get asked about it?” V protested.

“What’s Daegu to the two of us?” Suga asked him and they answered at once. “Hometown!”

“Intestines~!” V answered.

“What even...” Suga laughed with the members.

Standing up, the members were told to close their eyes and recall which member held grudges the most. Once they open their eyes, they would point their finger to the member and the member with the most points would have to do push ups for 30 seconds. Jennie ended up pointing at Suga, but in the end, Jungkook did the push ups.

As the members watched the Golden Maknae do his push ups, J-Hope requested to get a shot of Jungkook’s thighs, praising how strong and thick they were.

Next, the members were requested to play the one legged fight game and whoever won could reveal the other members’ secrets.

“We take this game very seriously,” Jimin warned.

“Indeed. You sure you want us to play this?” Jennie added.

“I can promise that I won’t take it seriously,” Suga spoke.

The members lift up one leg, preparing for the game.

“Aigoo, my legs...” Suga suddenly dropped to the floor, causing Jennie to laugh loudly with everyone.

“How!?” She asked as Suga shamefully walked away.

The rest of the members hopped around, while Jen stayed away.

“V, no!” She tried to hop back as he aggressively hopped forward, gaining up on her.

He giggled as he followed her around the room. He bumped into her, causing her to fall to the floor, eliminated from the game.

“I love you!” He tried to sugarcoat what he’d done as she got up.

“LIES!”

In the end, Jungkook won the game. The members sit back down in their seats to check out the fan comments.

“The member that has the most cosmetics. Who cares the most about it.” Rapmon read a question.

The members point to Jennie, immediately.

“What? No.” She shook her head. “No, no way. Not me.”

“She’s in denial.” Jin giggled.

“I don’t have that many! I don’t wear that much makeup!”

“Nail polish. Lip gloss. The list can go on.” J-Hope laughed.

Jennie read the question, “If you were a boy, which member would you date if they were girls? Hm...” She looked at the members. “J-Hope.”

J-Hope placed his hands over his heart, touched by her answer. “Really munchkin? Me?”

“Mm hm. I love his personality, he’s always bursting with positive energy.”

‘Please show us the tough girls through Bangtan Boys’ concept.’ Was J-Hope’s request.

“I think I know what he’ll do so I’m going to cover my ears,” Suga said.

“Ah, 5,6,7,8!” J-Hope sang in a high pitched voice, “Why are you shaking up my heart?”

“AHAHAHAHAHAH!” Suga got up from his seat and laughed in J-Hope’s face.

“KYAHAHAHAHA!” Hobi returned his laugh, standing up from his seat.

“I’m done.” Jennie laughed against Jin’s arm as she held onto it for support from laughing so much.

------

On April 30th, the BTS members were announced by the MCs for the fan meeting on Mnet Countdown. As they walked out, the members tagged a few lucky hands of some ARMY as they stood with the MCs.

“BTS, based on the mood, it seems like you’ve gotten more mature.”

“Yes, before we were in our teens and produced albums focused on the theme of school, this album is produced with the theme of mature youth,” Rapmon explained. “So, that’s why the mood is a bit different and it’s also natural.”

“Mood being different is a very good thing. We think of strong performances once we think of BTS. Did you tone that down a bit?”

“No, it’s absolutely not toned down. It’s actually even more powerful. We were afraid everyone would think that so we especially prepared this.” J-Hope gestured as he walked over to the side with Jimin to prepare a snippet of various BTS dances before showing off I Need U.

Jennie ended up snickering when she saw how extra Hobi and Jimin were as they moved their hips. They were great.

For their comeback stage, the members lay down on the floor. Jennie was in between Jimin and Rapmon. They wore shorts and white shirts and Jennie wore black suspenders with Yoongi.

Doing the same body roll on the other side, the members got down on one knee while Jungkook stayed standing.

After the intense dance break, Jennie broke away from the group, shaking her head before looking up at the ceiling. She slowly walked around, placing the microphone to her mouth, beginning her verse, “You probably won’t care what I have to say, but I’m still waitin’ for you on my birthday. How many times are you gonna lie, once was enough. Can’t you see how much I’ve become undone?” She ran a hand through her straightened hair.

“Lookin’ at us now, I’m wonderin’ why things went so downhill...No Advil can take this type of pain away, don’t tell me to chill. I ask myself why do I stay when you always play me for a fool. This situation sucks because I thought everything was cool.” She went on while the members danced around her. Shooting the camera an expression of heartbreak, she continued, “How could you be so cruel? You used to treat me like I was your jewel. Now I’m nothin’ to you but a simple tool.”

Walking past Jin, she pressed her back against his as they both turned in a circle and walked away from each other. “I wish we could break through this. All we’ve done was fall through the mess that you created. Is this how things will always be? I’m so frustrated, Aggravated, Devastated...” Her expression turned into a dejected one. “What do you gain? To cause me so much pain? It’s putting a strain on my broken heart. But I can’t let go. Because you’re my everything...”

You’re my

“Everything.”

You’re my

“Everything.”

The members walked away to reveal Jin on his knees, in the middle of the stage. Jennie stood behind him with her back turned to the crowd, while the rest of the members stood around him.

On May 5th, on SBS MTV’s The Show, BTS sat down for a quick interview about their comeback. “It’s a song infused with the feelings of young love,” Rapmon said.

“It’s showing both the brighter and darker sides of youth,” Suga added.

The members check out the I Need U film, gushing over Jungkook’s real tears on in the MV.

‘Stop. Point 1. Tears.’

“I have a lot of feels,” Jungkook revealed.

‘Full of emotions, teenager Jungkook.’

“Then shall we see who can get their tears out faster, right now?” V suggests.

‘Match of the century!’

‘Challenger V vs Tear Prince Jungkook’

Jennie tried not to laugh as she watched V gaze ahead and Jungkook fanning his eyes, trying to cry. After a while, the Golden Maknae won yet another challenge, shedding his tears first. As they continued to watch the MV, it paused when it showed the show of flowers on fire.

‘Stop. Point 2. Fire.’

‘What would BTS like to burn to ashes?’

“Weight! Weight!” Jimin answered.

“All of our black history on the internet.”

“STRESSSSS!” Jimin shouted.

‘And so! The Show has prepared, the thing that the members want to burn to ashes. BTS’ black history!’

The screen showed Suga’s audition from Big Hit, which caused everyone to yell and laugh. Suga got up from his seat, freaking out. It showed him when he was 18 years old.

“DESTROY ALL OF THIS!” He ran up to the screen.

“NO!” Jennie fell out of her seat before scrambling up to the screen, attempting to block everyone’s view of her photo. It was her when she was a trainee at the age of 15. “My hair! What was I thinking with that hairstyle!? DELETE! DELETE!” She cringed at her wild hair.

“Aw, she looks so cute.” Jin cooed.

‘Do not let your guard down! Who is this boy?’

Jimin lowered his head once he saw two photos of him when he was younger, wearing glasses, at 17 years old.

“He still looks the same as he did when he still had glasses,” Jin spoke up.

“This hyung...!” Jimin exclaimed.

“Tell them about Jin-hyung’s!” J-Hope suggested.

“Jin-hyung wore glasses too!” Rapmon revealed.

“AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!” Jin yelled when they showed his photo when he wore glasses.

“So everyone, please treat your friends around you, well. Because they might turn out this cool, tool!” Rapmon informed.

‘Stop. Point 3. I Need U.’

‘Tell the person beside you something you want them to do with the song I Need U.’

“It’ll be great if you can do a better job with the toilet ventilation,” J-Hope said to Jimin.

“I Need U...the money I lent you~” Suga sang to Jungkook. “I don’t actually say that but...”

“Suga-hyung to me!” V asked, expectantly. “Come at me with all your heart!”

“To be honest...I don’t really have anything to ask of you.” He replied.

“You should just return him money, too,” Rapmon suggested. “We’ll continue to show you more cool I Need U stages from now on.”

“Please show BTS lots of love!” V beamed.

“The Show! Play!” The members cheered.

At the end of the show, the groups stood on stage while the MCs began to calculate the votes to see who would win first place. As they announced the numbers, Jen felt her heart begin to race as she saw how big the numbers were getting from the other artists they were up against.

“Bangtan Sonyeondan!”

Jennie immediately widened her eyes, covering her mouth as the confetti popped out and Namjoon received the trophy.

They had won.

They won their first win.

The members have been dreaming of this day. Every time they were asked, it would be the same answer. ‘We want to get first place on a music show.’ No matter how many times they’ve been asked. It was their wish to gift ARMY a first win, and now they finally achieved their goal.

“Is this for real!?” She asked, holding onto Jimin who had a big smile on his face while Namjoon said his acceptance speech.

All the members bowed to everyone while I Need U came on, for an encore. With just BTS on the stage, Jennie kneeled on the floor, trying to comprehend what was happening.

‘Damn, this is really happening.’ She thought as Jimin kneeled next to her, rubbing her back. A smile with tears in her eyes was shown as she stood up, grabbed her microphone, and yelled "Thank you!" with the rest of the members.

As soon as they go backstage, they’re met with their staff congratulating them. Sitting down, Jen dialed up her mom’s number, while a Bangtan Bomb camera was filming her. She was immediately greeted with screams, yells and cheers. She figured she was on speakerphone, so she put her phone on speaker too.

Namjoon chuckled at her family’s enthusiasm. He was happy that she was able to hear them tell her how proud they were of her.

Jen, still teary eyed, listened to her mom yell, “We just saw the live stream! You guys did it! We’re so proud of you!”

“That’s my niece! That’s my niece with those boys!”

“They killed it on that stage!”

“This award was meant for them!”

She heard various family members shout. “Your father is crying.” Her mom told her.

“I am not!” She heard her dad say as she laughed. “Nie, Nie. Can you hear me?”

“Yes.” She sniffed.

“You have no idea how proud your mother and I are to have a daughter like you. I already knew you were special ever since you held a microphone back in America. And now you’re in Korea, breaking boundaries, and working hard with seven fine young men. I knew you guys could do it. All that time you were talking about how tired you were, and how hard it was to make new songs, look at what the eight of you accomplished. Hard work has paid off. Those sleepless nights were worth it. And I cannot tell you, how proud we are of BTS. You guys deserve it. I may be too old to be called an ARMY but just know that your mother and I, along with the rest of the family will be your big support group.”

Closing her eyes, more tears streamed down her face. After talking to her family, she received a video from her sisters and decided to play it. It showed Vienna and Alani, watching a livestream of the show. Vienna had her hand over her mouth in suspense, while Alani had her fingers crossed, wondering what was going to happen. It was late at night, and it made Jennie so happy that they stayed up on a school night just to watch BTS, in support of her.

As soon as BTS was announced as the winner, the two sisters screamed, jumped on the bed and held on to each other.

“YES! YES! YES! THAT’S OUR SISTER! THAT IS OUR SISTER! I KNEW THEY WOULD WIN!” Alani clapped her hands together loudly, getting off the bed, and jumping around.

“I dunno what the hell they’re saying, but all that matters is that BTS won! WOO!” Vienna shouted at the camera that was filming her.

Jennie laughed and felt more tears form as she sniffed. Her family wasn’t with her physically but they were always watching her, sending encouraging messages.

Snapping a selfie with the trophy, Jen tweets, ‘Dreams do come true. We’ve come so far, ARMY! This is so surreal! Thank you, we love you!’

On May 7th, backstage, BTS was given an MPD mission called Beware of the Dog. In a room together, surrounding a table with the dog game, the members begin to take turns cautiously grabbing a bone out of the dog’s dish.

The sound of the toy dog’s sleeping, made Jen nervous as she slowly reached out to pick up a bone.

“RAWR!” Namjoon shouted, causing her to flinch and move her hand away.

“Hey!” She smacked him on the arm while the others laughed around her.

“That was a good one, she was so scared!” Hobi giggled.

When she finally took a bone without the dog moving, she sighed out of relief. Suga was the first one to get out as the rest of the members aimed to grab another bone.

“Please let me survive this...” She murmured and reluctantly went to grab another bone. Peeping at the dog as she grabbed one, she slowly backed up, relieved that she survived another round.

Jin was the next one to get out, as the rest of the members tried yet again to take a bone. When it was Jennie’s turn, she decided to act slower this time, as she reached out for the bowl of bones. As soon as she touched the bowl, she shrieked when the dog suddenly leaned forward, aiming to bite her.

“Man!” She sat down next to Jin, watching the others finish the game. In the end, it wasn’t a surprise that the Golden Maknae won.

Later, the members stood on stage, kneeling as Boys with fun came on. Jennie wore a white blazer while the rest of the members wore various colors.

Jumping up and down, and then rocking back and forth, the members act hyped up, while the fans chant loud and proud.

Standing in the back with Tae and Jin, Jen patted her chest with the rest of the members.

Placing the microphone to her lips, she shouted, “Sing it!”

Jennie, V, Jungkook and Rapmon faced off against Jimin, Jin, J-Hope and Suga, while V jumped to the middle, beginning his verse.

Jin took a few steps forward with his crew, while V’s crew took a few steps back.

Taking a few steps forward, by herself, Jennie snapped her fingers in front of him, three times. “No, no, no!”

She ran up to him with the rest of the guys behind her, jumping up to his height to try to act big, causing Jin to smile at her. “No, no, no!”

Standing in the middle, taking Jungkook’s place, she sang fluidly, patting her chest, again. “Naege mutjima, nan wollaebuteo iraesseunikka. Nado nal molla, cheoeumbuteo kkeutkkaji nan nanikka!”

SING IT!

Wo~ Wo~ Wo~ Wo~

“Break it down!” She winked directly at the camera.

As the backup dancers joined the stage, the members partied it up, dancing around while Jungkook continued to sing.

“Sing it!” The 97 Liners shouted out.

Wo~ Wo~ Wo~ Wo~

Big Bang had also had their comeback stage with Loser and Bae Bae. Jennie wanted to see if she could find G-Dragon but they both were so busy, they couldn’t see each other throughout the show. She was a bit disappointed. She wanted to express how excited she was for their comeback and decided to message him about it and ask for advice on her latest performance.

Not expecting him to reply so soon, he had told her to meet her after the show because he had some time.

At the end of the show, BTS was up against EXID for first place as the MCs revealed the final results.

“Today’s final results. First off with digital music sales score.”

EXID received 5000 while BTS received 2267

“Album sales score.”

EXID had 22 while BTS had 1000. Jennie had her hands in a prayer, by her face as she watched the results with butterflies in her stomach.

Would they be able to get a second win?

“Popularity score.”

EXID received 952 while BTS received 609.

“Social media score.”

EXID had 572 while BTS had 1000.

“Mnet broadcast score.”

BTS received 1000 while EXID only had 100.

“And lastly with the live broadcast real time voting score. Today’s honored 1st place is...”

It was a close battle but in the end, BTS won with a score of 6876.

“Yeah!” She celebrated with the members.

Each of them had big smiles on their faces while Namjoon made another acceptance speech, thanking Big Hit, ARMY and their families. Jennie felt Jin’s large hand on her shoulder and she turned to him placing red lipstick over her mouth, unevenly.

She laughed and he went to Tae to place lipstick on his lips, next.

“Thank you, ARMY! We’re truly grateful for this! I love you, mom! I love you, dad! Shoutout to my sisters! Don’t follow them on Instagram! Thank you, ARMY! We love you! Woo hoo!” She yelled in English, on the mic, jumping up and down with Hobi.

She already knew her sisters would yell at her for putting them on blast like that but she thought it was funny.

Going backstage, BTS is filmed for a Bangtan Bomb. “First place, baby! Ah!” She clapped her hands, approaching the camera. “Muah! Muah! Muah!” She blew kisses.

They were greeted by MPD who congratulated them and presented them a cake with strawberries on top. Taehyung held onto it and kept eating all the strawberries.

Jungkook and Jennie glanced at each other, equally irritated that he kept eating all of the strawberries while the members expressed their gratitude for getting another win.

“Really?” Jen watched Tae pop the last one in his mouth. He looked at her innocently as she shook her head.

As the members regrouped together, Jennie decided to share her thoughts on another win as she finally got a turn to hold the trophy. She examined it in amazement, shaking her head in disbelief.

“This right here, success won’t come instantly. You work hard, remain humble and be patient. We’ve gone through a lot, and it was worth it because our hard work is paying off. Thank you for always supporting us. We will cherish this moment forever. Thank you to the fans. Shoutout to my mama and dad for creating me and letting me do this. Shout out to my sisters, I know y’all screaming happily over this win. Good luck on your exams, by the way! I love you! Gosh, I’m still shaking, you see this? There’s so many people I want to thank but I’ll just say thank you to everyone helping us and guiding us.” She felt her adrenaline pumping as she showed one of her shaky hands on camera.

When the members were in the elevator, they continued to be filmed. “I’m too happy that my tears won’t come out,” Jungkook explained.

“I cried so much during our first win on the 5th, I’m not sure if I’ll be crying again. We’ll see.” Jen added.

“I have nothing to say.” Jimin sniffed. The members heard his voice shake and they noticed him crying.

“Chim.” Jennie pouted and hugged him from behind.

“Jimin, try saying something,” Namjoon added. “It’s a moment which can’t be forgotten.”

“It looks like my birthday party. Ah, thank you. It seems like my birthday party, like a hidden camera.” Jimin finally spoke up.

“I was really surprised. Our Jimin, here in Bangtan. Bangtan can’t be without Jimin. We can’t get 1st place without Jimin. I’m really thankful. I remember that we got a mini-version before and it was great. I thank you again. I love you.” Namjoon said on camera.

As they got off the elevator, Jennie wiped Jimin’s tears. Kissing his cheek, she wrapped her arms around him, for a tight hug.

“Ah, I can’t believe it.” She heard him say as his voice got shaky again.

“It’s okay...you’re gonna make me cry again, stop it.” She sniffed as he held her tight.

“From now on, please don’t call me a crybaby, the crybaby is Jimin,” Hobi said. “Like a man, even if you’re happy, you have to control yourself from tearing up.

“Men cry too!” Jennie spoke up, releasing Jimin while Hobi grinned at her.

When the show was over, she met up with G-Dragon who was waiting for her, leaning up against the wall. “Hey, Jennie!” He smiled.

“Hey! Iconic performance with Big Bang!” She hugged him.

She’ll never get used to talking to him. She felt so lucky to be able to speak with someone so iconic as G-Dragon. She was grateful she decided to speak to him at K-Con last year.

They leaned against the wall as he talked with her. “Congratulations on your first set of wins. It’s always a shining moment. You’ll never forget it.” He said as he thought about Big Bang’s first win with their song, Lies. “I’m always watching you even if we’re not always able to talk. I can tell that you’ve improved a lot since your last comeback. You know, you can message me, anytime. I’ll try to get back to you when I can.”

“I really appreciate it.” She smiled as he began to give her advice on how she could improve her performance skills.

On May 8th, for Music Bank, BTS was in the waiting room, standing with Irene and Bogum.

“BTS, since your debut this is your first time being nominated for first place at Music Bank, please give us your thoughts about it,” Irene said

“Right, this is our first time as a first place nominee here in Music Bank, finally after 2 years, I’m really nervous,” Rapmon answered.

“In the I Need U MV, I heard that BTS expressed youth through emotional acting,” Bogum added.

“Then, let’s see their youth expressions. First anger.” Irene announced. Some of the members made angry sounds as they made angry faces for the camera. “Sadness.”

Jennie fake cried with J-Hope as she covered her face.

“Happiness.”

J-Hope made a funny sound effect as the members smiled brightly for the camera.

“As expected, they’re cute. Lastly, what did you prepare for if you win first place?” Bogum asked.

“If we win first place, we’ll exchange parts between rap line members and vocal line members. I need you, girl!” Hobi sang.

“Ah, I really anticipate it. At last, will BTS be able to win first place? Please anticipate it a lot.”

“After a while is BTS’ stage so...” Jimin trailed off.

“Please wait a little longer!” Jungkook finished his statement.

Winning yet again for the third time, as promised, the vocal line switched their lines with the rap line. Jin rapped Suga's verse, while Jimin took over Hobi’s.

Taking over Tae’s lines, Jennie dramatically approached him as he giggled. “But you’re my everything...everything...everything...Mianhae...saranghae...Yongseohae.”

When Yoongi started to sing, the members laughed as he dramatically sang along with Namjoon. Once the chorus transitioned to Jennie’s verse, Tae started to act hype around her, getting in her face as he took over her verse.

“Oh my gosh...” She covered her face, trying to control her laughter.

This first set of wins will be the start of something big for BTS as they continue to make music.
