Regarding the previous ask!
This got nothing to do with the story but one of those little AUs I made years ago. This was an AU with Jennie being like a year or so older than Jungkook and being a solo artist at Big Hit.
-----
“You’ve been staring at her all day. Just talk to her.” Jimin nudged Jungkook who blushed and looked down.
"I will! Just not right now," he murmured.
“What are you afraid of? She is the sweetest person, ever! You'll love her,"
“It’s nothing. I just need a little time,"
“Do you want me to talk to her for you—?”
“No!” he exclaimed, causing Jimin to giggle.
"If you don't meet her by the end of today, I'm taking matters into my own hands," Jimin playfully warned while Jungkook smacked his arm.
Jungkook continued to watch Jennie as she talked with some staff members. She was this new solo artist Big Hit had signed back in mid-2016 after BTS’ fire comeback. She was currently working on her debut and was just a year older than him, coming all the way from America. Big Hit must’ve seen something special in her and decided to sign her on the spot after her audition. And Jungkook was proved right as she helped work on the WINGS album for the boys. She had a unique craft in her production and it fit perfectly for their upcoming comeback.
Later that day, Jungkook walked around Big Hit’s building, to see if he could find her but with no luck. He had hoped he wouldn’t freeze when he found her. As time went by, he had become a little jealous of how close she was getting to the other members. He had to at least try to say hi and build a friendship.
'She should be working. Hopefully, she's nearby,' he thought to himself.
Deep in thought, he didn’t realize he had bumped right into someone and felt warm liquid splash all over his shirt.
His white shirt.
He felt a bit agitated that one of his precious white shirts was now ruined and immediately thought it was one of his hyungs, about to whine about it. But then he heard her voice as he looked up to witness a horrified Jennie.
“Oh-mah-God, I am SO sorry, a—and you’re wearing white? Just my luck! I was just looking at my phone and I didn’t see you! Oh God, I’m ‘bout to get fired. I just got here, man!” she exclaimed. She realized she had been rambling in English and quickly switched to Korean to make him feel more comfortable. “Are you okay!? I am so sorry! I wasn’t watching where I was going,”
Jungkook widened his eyes. He was finally in front of the person he was hoping to see. He became mesmerized and thought she was even cuter in person as he looked down at her. Lost in her eyes, he almost forgot what she had said.
"Um, are you okay?" she broke him out of his thoughts as he came back to reality and nodded.
“Yeah. I—it’s okay,” he replied in a small voice.
“Are you sure? I feel so bad. Here, let me try to help you clean that up. Is it okay to touch you?" she asked for permission as he nodded.
She then grabbed his hand and escorted him to where she found some paper towels to try to help dry off the shirt.
He thought of how nicely her small hand fit with his large one as his stomach flipped from the contact. Her hands were soft and warm from holding the tea. Maybe one day they could go on dates and he can hold her hand all the time. And that was a big maybe if he could find the courage to ask her out. But would she want to date him?
Jennie took a good look at him, noticing how handsome he was. She recognized him immediately as one of the members of Bangtan and the last member she had not met.
‘Wow, this cutie probably thinks I’m a klutz, now. Stupid, stupid, Jennie.’ she groaned in her head.
“You’re…Jungkook, right?”
“Yes.”
“Ah, it’s nice to finally meet you! I knew there were seven of you. Well, hi. I’m Jennie, the girl that spilled tea on you.”
“It’s nice to finally meet you, noona," he grinned nervously.
“Noona? Oh yeah, I’m a little older than you, right? 97, ” she reminded herself. “Ah, well let me reintroduce myself. Hi, I’m Jennie, the noona that spilled tea on you,”
That broke the ice as they both giggled.
“How do you like Korea so far?” he asked.
“I love it! I’m so grateful to be here. Your food is frickin' great. I feel my cheeks getting a little chubby from eating really good. I’m gaining some healthy weight. I’m happy. Okay, well uh, I gotta head to my studio but I would love to hang out with you, sometime. I’ll catch you later!”
“Actually, do you have a few minutes? I wanted to talk to you," he spoke up, feeling his confidence increasing thanks to her warm smile.
“Oh, you did? What’s up?”
“I was wondering if you could help me with my English. I’m having trouble with some words for my song, Begin. I found out you were helping the rest of the hyungs and I thought…maybe you could help me, too.”
“Yeah, of course. You can always come to me. We can go to my studio and work on it, right now, if you want.”
Once walking into her studio, he chuckled softly at the huge bowl of candy. It was filled to the top with the same candy that read ‘smarties’.
“You must really like that candy,” he pointed out.
“Oh, the smarties? I have a little bit of a problem.” she grinned sheepishly. “If you want some, you can just take some. Don’t take all. It’ll be a while before the next shipment comes. Okay, sit down. Show me the lyrics,”
As she helped him, it didn’t seem like he needed help at all. He was saying the English words with ease in his accent.
“You know, your pronunciation on this is really spot on. You sure you needed help?” she asked as he looked shooked at her statement.
“U—uh, yes.”
She giggled. “Your English is really good, Jungkook. You’ll do just fine for this song. It’s my favorite song on this upcoming album,”
“Really? Thank you.” he felt himself grinning widely at her compliment.
His face got a little red and on top of that, she noticed.
“Aw, are you blushing?” she teased. “You’re really cute.”
'Cute. She called me cute,' Jungkook thought with a smile.
