The Bangtan Gal Chapter 69- GAYO Daechukje & GAYO Daejejun

Words: 7,000+
Author's Note: Ironically, the V, Jimin and Jungkook hide and seek video at the end of this chapter was the reason I wanted to make this story years ago back in 2016. I asked myself what if a girl was with them? And funny enough, I switched it up and let this be where the most crucial moment happens in the story. I like how things came full circle. And I don't regret taking a break from writing and editing every single chapter so far, deleting and adding things. I like how things have come about. Stay tuned :) Thank you for sticking with me to this point.
------
After opening presents, Jennie decided to check out BTS’ Seasons Greetings which they filmed. She enjoyed filming for it and loved the photoshoots and her outfits.
They had filmed in Yangpyeong to shoot this year’s Season’s Greetings. After Jimin had done his shoot first, Jennie was dressed as Princess Tiana in her yellow waitress outfit. While she watched herself posing on the screen, she felt so giddy. She loved being Tiana and chuckled when she watched the Maknae Line trying to distract her with funny faces.
“She is too cute.” Hobi took some photos of her
After posing around, she then changed into Tiana's green dress.
“I feel like a princess.” she twirled around.
The photos of her being Tiana went viral and even got to Black Twitter and the Cosplay community which gave her even more exposure and followers on Instagram. It touched her to see her photos as Tiana be received so positively.
“Ah, Jennie, she looks so pretty.” Jimin smiled
Sitting on the couch, Jennie read, “A quick interview...”
‘Any regrets for the year 2015?’
“Hm...nah, not really. Whatever mistakes I’ve made, I learned from them and moved on. No regrets for 2015.”
‘What is your goal for next year?’
“I want to rap. I’ve been learning thanks to Suga but I’m not sure if I’m ready to showcase it yet. That’s a goal for 2016, that I would love to do. And also to be more charismatic on stage, getting the crowd moving. I want to be a great performer and be able to have the ability to stand on the stage and the crowd gets hyped with just looking at me. And another goal is to continue to improve my vocals.”
‘2015 was a tough year. Say a word to yourself.’
“You’re improving every day. Keep going.”
‘What will you be like in 10 years?’
“Hm...2025...I'd like to be married by that time. I also just want to be happy and make sure I’m enjoying life while still being successful with Bangtan."
After the interview, Jen watched Yoongi’s photoshoot as Jack Frost. He looked so adorable with his white hair and blue contacts. After he was done, she chilled with him on the couch and he fell asleep with his head on her shoulder. Soon after, she had placed her head on top of his to take a short nap.
Of course, when you nap around the members, they’ll mess with you, so Jungkook, Hobi and Jin were taking funny photos and laughing at how they didn’t get caught.
“Wow, so y’all really took photos of us?” Jen murmured as she continued to watch what was happening on the screen.
When they moved to the next destination, she watched Jungkook laugh while he messed with Jimin’s hair. She thought it was one of the best things she had ever heard and it brought joy to her heart, hearing him so happy.
When she walked past J-Hope, Jimin and Jungkook trying to harmonize, especially with J-Hope’s little high note, Jen commented sarcastically, “That was beautiful.” and the three boys burst out in laughter
Walking into a room, she was joined by two female stylists who shut the door and helped her get changed.
“I’m wearing that?” she pointed to the black lace dress with the open back.
When they had giggled and said yes, Jennie was here for it and became excited. This had to be her favorite outfit by far. After getting her hair and makeup done, she put on the dress and checked herself out in the mirror.
“I love this so much.” she beamed.
When she walked out, Jungkook had been occupied, taking photos for his individual shots. But when his attention turned to the door and he saw her, he had to do a double take. He immediately stopped posing with the red guitar and opened his mouth to stare in awe. He couldn’t even concentrate, anymore. She looked gorgeous.
Just wow...
With Jennie, her back was to him, talking in front of the camera filming her spinning around to show off the short black lace dress.
“You know what? Out of every outfit I have worn, this is my favorite. Like, look at this dress! The stylists hooked me up! I look great! Who am I going home with today?” she joked.
ARMY on Tumblr, who had already made posts and gifs about BTS Seasons Greetings 2016, had finally caught Jungkook. They caught him staring at her in the background while she spoke on camera. He had been sitting down at the time, taking a break from his shoot so the camera crew could check out the photos so far. He was just watching her, longer than usual.
At one point he had to take a walk for a moment to control himself.
Fans had commented:
‘It took forever to find this moment but CAUGHT!’
‘Don’t @ me, he was clearly staring at her ass XD’
‘His face is priceless! What he concentrating so hard for?’
'He better get in line!! We all want her! She fine as hell! I know she can fight but can Jungkook fight? Cause we all want Jennie lmfao'
'SHE IS MOTHER!! MY GAWDDDD! HER BODY IS BODYING!'
'There is just something about this woman right here...'
'MA'AM!'
'Waiiiiiiiiiitttttt!'
'LMFAO did you see his hands twitch like he wanted to grab her!?'
'Jennie is growing too fast! Slow down baby girl omg!'
'It just doesn't make any sense how fine she got over the years!'
'She is so fine for what!?'
'I love her so bad! Nobody is doing it like her. The face card! The BODY!? She is gonna eat every time!'
'I bet you if she saw the way he was staring at her she'd fold. Cause shit I would! He staring HARD!'
'Just give me three and a half minutes, maybe even four!'
‘Ooh, Jennie watch out. My international playboy senses are tingling. I think it’s safe to say that you are clearly wanted by the Golden Maknae.’
‘She said who am I going home with today, I think Jungkook wants to take her home, ahahaha’
‘Haha, that’s probably the biggest behind he has ever seen, and he just doesn’t know what to do XD’
‘Uh oh, somebody collect this boy!’
‘Jungkook, whatcha staring at my boi?’
'Lmfao Jungkook can not handle all that. There is no way'
'Do you know how strong Jungkook is? Yes tf he can handle that! He'd pin her down in a heartbeat!'
'Agreed. He can use his strength on me if she don't want him. I volunteer as tribute!'
'I hope y'all know that Jungkook is not the pure little baby y'all think he is.'
'War of hormone 2.0!'
'I love when she wears bodycon clothes! It hugs her body so nicely! I don't blame him for staring, she looks amazing!'
‘Ayooo he really is staring hard. Kookie, you’ve been caught!’
‘I love how he tried to look away when he finally noticed the camera. You already got busted XD’
‘Guys...I’m actually here for this. If he likes her or something, I hope he shoots his shot very soon’
‘Jungkook, you ain’t slick.’
‘He looks like he about to pounce, hahahah’
‘Jeon Jungkook you have excellent taste. Please risk it all. Our Golden Maknae has become a man.’
‘JenKook shippers rejoice! I am so here for this! Look at how he looks at her! I see love in his eyes, I’m screaming’
‘She is a whole woman! Looking like a snack! I think he got up from his seat to restrain himself, I’m cackling’
‘Is he OK? She got him in a trance, lol’
‘He was so focused on her that he didn’t realize he was also in the shot’
‘This is tea! Haters are pressed! I love it. There is no denying that he’s into her.’
‘Seeing this gives me hope’
‘Pretty sure he enjoyed the view, lol’
‘I hope Jennie sees this on Tumblr, soon. I know she lurks on the BTS tag. Let’s get these notes to a high number. Keep reblogging and liking’
‘My boi is ready!’
‘And she has no idea! That’s the crazy part! Someone look at me like that when I’m not looking.’
‘That’s some...intense staring Jungkook. Care to explain?’
‘Hol’ up, I know this man wasn’t checking out our girl and tried to be slick when he noticed the camera.’
When Jungkook was back taking photos, he kept getting distracted by her.
“Jungkook-ah! Look at the camera. Focus!” the staff called out, amused.
They knew exactly what was going on. They thought it was cute to see him like this.
Turning around, Jennie found herself watching him. The hair, the suit, he looked fine as hell if she was being honest. This time, Jungkook had caught her watching and smiled. She had smiled back and looked away, feeling her cheeks flush.
“Jennie! Where is the rest of your dress?” Jin exclaimed, pointing at the exposed back.
“This is the dress.” she laughed
“Oh, my goodness. Why do you do this to me?” he asked the stylists who giggled at his dramatic complaining.
“Let’s have Jungkook and Jennie together.” The staff requested.
As soon as JenKook heard that they would be taking photos together, their mood was boosted as bright smiles were on their faces. With his red guitar in his hands, Jen had her acoustic guitar and they stood back to back, posing for the camera before doing various other poses. If anything, it truly looked like they were dating based on how close they were and how they would look at each other.
While watching the season’s greetings video, Jennie recalled how handsome Jungkook looked in that suit. They made a great pair for that photoshoot and their chemistry was off the charts.
She continued to watch as the members were involved in a quiz. She remembered failing miserably. But it was hilarious to see J-Hope get the shorthand of the stick. Poor Hobi.
--------
Seeing all the JenKook posts from Season’s Greetings, an ARMY created a Tumblr post called:
‘Why I ship JenKook, want them to date, think they could be dating right now and support Jungkook liking Jennie’
Yeah! I said it! All you haters are pressed! It’s no denying that Jungkook likes our beautiful black queen and I’m here for it! I’m here to state the facts and make haters more pressed because I’m petty like that. So, let’s get started! Block me if you want idgaf, there is no other ship in Bangtan that is more friggin obvious than JenKook. Not BamJen, not Jennie and Hayoon (JenYoon), not JenMin, not Taennie, no other damn ship with Jennie is more obvious and more real than JenKook. FIGHT ME!
ARMY is back on their investigation habits and this time it involves our beloved Maknaes. The Golden Maknae and our Miss Bangtan. It’s been a few years since Jen arrived and was introduced as a member of the group. Some were skeptical but over time people have grown to love and support her. AS THEY SHOULD and stop getting so damn pressed when someone black is in K-Pop or associated with someone in K-Music.
Now, over time Jungkook’s demeanor has changed when he’s around her. Let’s start with some major points ARMY has caught. And if there are points I missed, which I know I did, add them to the thread.
Number One- Their Rookie King kiss! This was just the cutest thing. Remember their heads were pushed together thanks to the members when they were playing the pepero game as a punishment? I’m sure we all kind of freaked out when Jennie said “Let’s play” when Jungkook felt bad that she was stuck with him in the game. Our babies looked so adorable that day and Jennie also revealed on After School Club that Jungkook was her first kiss. FIRST KISS GUYS! It wasn’t Bam Bam! It wasn’t Jimin! It wasn’t Taehyung! It wasn’t any of your ships! It was Jeon Jungkook! Look at the video for the receipts!
Number Two- Jenkook during the of course game on Rookie King episode 8. This has to be one of the most underrated JenKook moments. I loved them bickering. They seem so competitive but have soft spots for each other. When Jungkook said, “...but you and I both know you can’t stay mad at me forever.” I nearly died because Jennie couldn’t fight that growing smile on her face. Soooo cute. And then when he said, “...you liked our kiss.” I was like ohhhh where did this confidence come from? He even said on After School Club that he wasn’t sorry for being her first kiss and Jen only wished that she was a better kisser so their kiss would’ve been more enjoyable. GUYS! This man is not sorry for kissing her! And this woman said she wanted to be a better kisser for him! Um hello!
Number Three- American Hustle Life, when Jungkook ignores the guys and notices Jennie first at the restaurant. And following that interview, they both talked about their friendship. Did you see how happy they looked talking about each other? “Do you know those friendships where you don’t even remember how you guys became such great friends? To be around someone who you click with so easily and that can make your day, that’s how I feel about my bond with him.” Same Jennie, same. My heart is full!
Number Four- Who can forget their sexy war of hormone dance? This broke the internet! I swear I thought they were dating, their chemistry is off the damn charts. From the music video to performing live, just how he LOOKS at her makes me freak tf out. I know Jungkook was always on cloud nine when he got to dance so close. Your favs will never have that so stay hating on JenKook! They are here to stay!
Number Five- JenKook on Running Man. Look at how protective they are of each other. Have you ever noticed how they always stick together and find their way back to each other? True love! And Jungkook with his offense and Jen with her defense makes them a dangerous duo. They aren’t called the Golden Duo for nothing. It’s wise to be on the same team as them tbh. And remember their famous “I got you.” and "I got you, first." line during their couple episode together? I died of happiness! Best Marvel couple ever!
Number Six- Their adorable dog! Tony! Whenever they’re away on schedule, Tony stays with Jungkook’s parents. But omg the fact that he gave her the dog because he remembers her mentioning she wanted a Jack Russell Terrier is so adorable. They are wonderful parents to the cutie. One happy family. Their photos with Tony are just the best. I love it when they bicker about who Tony loves more, too. I can just imagine Jungkook walking up to Jennie and Tony sleeping on his bed. Hahaha, I bet that is already happening!
Number Seven- When Jen came back to continue filming BTS NOW 2 after she had that scary pineapple allergic reaction, Jungkook RAN, not walked, RAN to hug her and he was the first one to spot her. Come on! The feels! Soulmate goals! It was like he knew she was coming before he spotted her as he turned in the direction of where she was arriving.
Number Eight- The tension escalator! Their height difference is so cute. Do you see how he LOOKS at her!? You can’t deny that he thinks she’s pretty. I really thought he was going to kiss her when he lifted her chin and pressed his forehead down on hers. And Jennie looked so nervous! I truly believe that she was hoping to kiss him.
Number Nine- During ISAC, when Jungkook was whispering strategy in her ear during women’s wrestling. Like I know it was just innocent talking but having him whisper in her ear like that, omg how can she be so calm!? Unless she wasn’t on the inside. And guess who was there for Jungkook at the end of the finish line during the 400m relay? Jennie! And he ran up to her and they fell down hugging! Ahhhhh!
Number Ten- During Jen’s V-Live when she was showing off the smartie factory and Jungkook joined her. Look at how he stares at her! And look at how she smiles at him! How happy she gets when he’s with her! Look at these receipts! Look at these screenshots! Look at these gifs! My ship is here to stay! Screw these other ships! It is nowhere in comparison! Like, his big smile is so cute. And peep how jealous Kook got when Jen read comments of ARMY shipping her and Shawn Mendes. Come on now, he likes her! Or they’re probably dating right now, and we are just seeing the signs! Something is going on ARMY. Someone likes someone!
Number Eleven- THIS at season’s greetings! He was clearly staring at her in that dress! And he was mesmerized by what her momma gave her! As he should! HE GOT CAUGHT staring at her ass at Season’s Greetings! He even got up to walk away to restrain himself! I just know he was trying hard to calm himself down! My boi wants her bad! Look at the screenshots that ARMY took! It’s there, it’s game over, you cannot win this argument. All you haters get so bent outta shape when idols, especially male idols show interest in Jennie and say that she’s pretty or take photos with her. But no matter what haters think, our girl remains unbothered and continues to rise with Bangtan. Deal with it!
The moral of the story is...something is going on and I don’t think they are just friends. I think that they either like each other or are probably secretly dating. ARMY, what do you think? You think Jungkook might shoot his shot? Let’s hope he does.
P.S- Jennie, if you come across this on Tumblr, OMG, I love you, you are amazing and gurl! Get your man!

Backstage at KBS Gayo Daechukje, Rapmon was absent due to an unfortunate accident during rehearsal. Jen was bummed and worried since he would have to sit out of the performances but he seemed to be doing just fine.
It was also Taehyung’s birthday and the members surprised him with a cake. Jennie had created him a birthday box based on the anime that he has been watching as of late and he giggled uncontrollably, excited about it.
When he opened the letter, it read:
Ahhhh my baby Tae Tae! Happy birthday my boy! Those nights when I was lonely when I first came here, you were there and showed me all around Seoul to get used to my surroundings. If it wasn’t for your kindness, I’m not quite sure where I would’ve been when I first arrived at Big Hit.
You have changed my life for the better when I stepped foot here. Your vocals give me LIFE. Your deep voice is a blessing and your lines for our songs have got to be my favorite no matter how short or long they are.
Your silliness is one of the main things I love about you. You always know when to make me laugh and boost up my mood. Your love for Bangtan is unconditional and I thank you for being there whenever we’re down.
Hey, by the way, have you considered trying out for a K-Drama? Your acting skills are really good. Like, have you seen yourself when we filmed I Need U, RUN and the prologue? I hope you do something with acting because I would love to watch you in action. I’ll be your biggest fan always. Your daily dose of weirdness is always appreciated too. You are quite the character, my friend. And your cute boxy smile makes my heart fill with joy. Keep smiling, I love seeing it.
Also, thanks for always dancing with me at these awards shows. I can always count on you to turn up with me. How about we turn up at the Seoul Music Awards, too? You down? Hahah! You better be! Let’s hope that you can finally get into Cypher soon! I love you very much Tae. I’ll always be your Ennie.
Love,
Ennie <3
Taehyung immediately embraced her and gave her multiple kisses on the cheek. “Thank you so much, Ennie. I love it.”
“I’m glad. Happy birthday, Tae Tae.”
As the show went on, Jennie was already dressed for BTS’ performance and hung out with some of her idol friends. Jungkook, dressed in his outfit for his collab with Zion T, went to find her. He was nervous and she was the first person he thought of that could give him that extra strength to go out there and perform.
He soon found her talking with Bam Bam while GOT7 looked on with heart eyes.
‘Let her decide.’ was what he had talked to Bam Bam about. They had a full discussion about their feelings for her and Jungkook’s competitive nature came by as he told him that he wasn’t going to lose to him. The two held no grudges against each other and would remain good friends no matter what.
As much as Jungkook didn’t want to give up on her, if she did choose Bam Bam, then as long as she was happy, he’d be happy. He would never force her to love him. He could never do that. But something in him had faith that things would work out in his favor. He was going to fight for her until the end.
“Kook! Hey, ready for your collab?” she waved as he greeted them.
“Actually, can you be there with me?” he requested.
“Yeah, of course. I got you.” she turned to Bam Bam who smiled and nodded. “I’ll see you later.” she grabbed onto Jungkook’s arm, walking with him near the stage.
“Ah...I think I’m about to lose this battle.” Bam Bam murmured to Jackson as he watched them walk away.
“What?! Why you think that?” Jackson exclaimed
When JenKook stood by the steps, the stylist tended to him as he talked in front of the Bangtan Bomb camera.
“Thanks for being here with me. I really needed you.” he smiled at Jennie.
“Always.”
“Do I look okay? Ah, I’m so nervous.”
“You look great. Don’t be nervous. Everything is going to go smoothly. Just go out there and do what you do best. I’m proud of you, Kook.”
She looked on ahead as Jungkook’s gaze lingered on her. Moments later, she caught him.
“All right, you look like you really want to tell me something. What is it?” she chuckled. “Like you really want to tell me something important. Like you have something that you really need to say to me, so what is it?”
“Watch me out there, okay?”
“I will.”
“Is my face okay?”
“Jungkook...” she rolled her eyes.
“Ah, why am I ugly?” he checked his face out from the Bangtan Bomb camera.
“Boy, you look fine as hell. Relax.” she blurted out causing him to turn and grin at her.
“Really?”
“Yeah. You’re not ugly, you’re far from that. So, stop saying that, mkay?” she kissed his forehead since his hair was parted. “I’ll be right here watching. Have fun up there.”
As they heard the last performance before him, Jennie was in awe of ALi’s high note and gave Jungkook a quick hug as he walked up on the stage to perform.
She smiled softly as she watched him sing. He looked so handsome in the sweater and his voice was undeniably gifted. She couldn’t get enough of his voice and his duality was insane.
After the performance was over, she quickly wrapped her arms around him, giving him multiple kisses on the cheek.
“That was amazing!” she beamed.
“You really think so?”
“Yeah! You two were great up there! Come on, you gotta get changed.”
As soon as Ailee was on stage to perform Mind Your Business, Jennie ran backstage until she was able to get a glimpse of the performance. A Bangtan Bomb was filmed of her jamming out and singing along, watching her in admiration. But then she had to rush back and get to her position for BTS’ performance. Jimin had a dance solo for Butterfly and then they performed a jazz remix of Dope and then Run.
For the next night, at MBC Gayo Daejejun, BTS performed I Need U and Run. They were also given the honor of covering Shinhwa’s Perfect Man. Jennie remained in the back, dancing powerfully and on beat with the rest of the guys. A smile came across her lips as she watched Jimin from behind. He put so much effort into this cover, she was proud of him.
He was really going hard and it surprised her as even his voice growled while he sang. She knew he was about to go off when he took his jacket off.
After the performance, she hugged and praised him after the performance which made him feel great about himself as he giggled. When they did their final rehearsal, he kept rambling on how he thought he got wrong but thanks to her words, his doubts went away.
Later, the members were filmed for their Happy New Year greetings.
“ARMY! Let’s hope for another year of happiness and success.” Jen smiled. “Not much longer before 2016 is here and I have great hopes for it. 2015 was a rush. So much has happened but you guys make us who we are. If you can, try some smarties! And I hope to portray a more awesome version of myself this coming year. Listen well and keep watching me, mkay?” she waved.
After filming, Jen tweeted, ‘Er...I’m freaking out about this performance. I hope you enjoy it. I’m really nervous. I hope I don’t disappoint you.’
This got ARMY pondering if she would be doing a collab with someone. Keeping it hidden from the members, Jennie was set to collaborate with her best friend Hayoon, Jimin from JYP who is always hosting After School Club and Jihyo from Twice. They were all 97 Liners and they were given the opportunity to cover Little Mix’s About The Boy and have fun thinking about what they wanted to do for the performance.
Jimin had picked the song since they were offered a choice of which song they wanted to perform. They thought it was a good idea to not do something as popular as Bang Bang by Jesse J, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande and whatever other popular English songs are out there.
“So, you wanna sing about boys? Who has you in your feelings?” Jennie had joked around with Jimin
They’ve been practicing at Source Music, where GFriend is, to keep away from everyone else. Jennie suggested that the performance should let them show off who they are as performers and have fun. And she also had to step up her game because each one of these ladies has great vocals and she wanted to make sure that she kept up.
They worked very hard for this moment and Jennie was even given the opportunity to DJ for the song. So, she created her own twist to the song to get the crowd moving. While the rest planned to dance in the front on stage, she would be in the back for a while, mixing the song. When they discussed line distribution, they chose her to do the high note which Jen actually wanted because she wanted to take a risk. After spending weeks practicing the song and their choreography, they felt ready.
There were some struggles when practicing but practicing with the girls made Jen get closer to each of them. There were times when she felt overwhelmed and cried because things weren’t going well, but then after a while, things were falling into place and they finally got the performance down. Each of them had helped create the choreography for the dance. They wanted to do a dance break as well to show off their fierce side, their cute side, and their sexy side. And since BTS and GFriend are great with synchronization in dancing, the four girls worked very hard to make sure that they could accomplish that.
This was actually what Jennie wanted to do with Amity. Be creative and do various performances for fun while each member has time to shine, including dance breaks. But at least she could now do it here when she was able to collab with other female idols.
They were ready to show that the 97 Liners were a force to be reckoned with and they were proud to be able to represent the 97 Liners with this performance. They hoped that everyone would enjoy what they had to offer.
Jimin suggested that they wear similar outfits. Jennie wore knee-high boots with jeans, a black mesh crop top and a green bomber jacket that was zipped. The others wore different colored mesh crop tops and bomber jackets such as pink, blue and yellow.
When it was time, the girls held their hands in a circle and went for a group hug. Walking on the stage with the lights dimmed, Jennie placed her purple headphones around her neck while preparing to DJ. The performance would start on her cue.
After hearing the crowd scream and cheer when the group was announced and the lights went on, Jen exhaled. She gave a nod of approval to Jihyo, Hayoon, and Jimin when they glanced back at her.
Let’s hype the crowd and show them not to sleep on them.
“Hey, ladies, I don’t think they ready for this one,” Jen announced and pulled up her sleeves.
Jihyo, Jimin, and Hayoon had started off singing in acapella
Something about
Something about the boy
Something about
Something about the boy
Once the funky music came in, Jen went right to work, getting hype with the girls as they clapped their hands to get the crowd moving.
“Whoop! Hey! Come on!” they had all yelled in excited voices.
Listening to Jimin sing, Jennie nodded her head to the beat, occasionally following the choreography from the booth while she focused on the rhythm.
It’s the verse in my head
The words that make me stutter
The swag in my step
The change from gray to color
Jen smiled and glanced up at hearing Hayoon sing, No need to try, He’s just right.
She loved how her voice would flow so heavenly like that. It was sweet and fit great with the song. All their voices went well, equally balanced.
I won't stop until the boy is mine
He got me good
I’ve got it bad
He got me feeling like a girl gone mad
As the chorus came on, the girls performed the choreography fiercely, exciting the audience.
I know he’s playing my heart and I ain’t got no choice
There’s just something about the boy
When the camera had panned to her, Jen grabbed her mic while moving side to side like the others, singing lowly, “Something about, something about the boy. Something about, something about the boy. Something about, something about the boy.”
“Whew...” Jungkook exhaled and shook his head in disbelief when he watched her from backstage.
He tried his best to keep his cool but watching her, he began to struggle while his eyes were glued to her whenever she appeared on the screen.
She would always say that she fakes acting sexy on stage but it truly looked like she knew exactly what she was doing based on those alluring stares. And the way she was dancing and moving those hips, she was having the time of her life on that stage while DJing.
“Where did all of this come from? Was that a sexy smile?” Jin called out.
“She learned that from us, hahaha.” Hobi laughed.
“I think we’re becoming bad influences,” Namjoon added with a chuckle while dancing to the song.
“Ah, she’s grown. Let her be sexy.” Yoongi shrugged as they watched her jam around.
He’s got that something
I can’t let nobody tell me no
Also, with the fancams of Jennie, people noticed how she would watch proudly whenever she heard each of the girls sing. And there was also a lucky fan cam that made eye contact with Jennie and shot them a smile and wave.
Something about, something about the boy.
Jihyo and Jimin took over the rest of the verse while Hayoon sang ‘About that boy’ under them, while Jen prepared for her part to come up. Those vocal lessons were about to pay off tonight.
Singing soulfully, Jen sang out, “I know you like to play it slow. But I’m running out of tiiiiime. It’s like I lost my self control, ‘cause you are the one. And you know what you’ve done. My poor heart’s come undone.”
Taking a deep breath, she sang, slowly throwing her head back, “Baby please~!”
The high note sounded like an Ailee high note instead of going with what the note was supposed to be. It was unintentional but Ailee was on her mind as she kept singing and she couldn’t help but belt out the note. She kept it there for ten seconds as loud cheers and applause were heard.
While a Bangtan Bomb was filming Bangtan’s reaction to Jennie performing, Jimin and Hobi fell dramatically to the floor and then continued to watch in amazement while holding onto each other.
Taehyung stood there startled with his eyes widening when he heard the high vocal range. “Wow~!”
Yoongi raised his eyebrows and did a double take before smiling proudly.
“Waaaaaaaa.” Hobi looked on.
Namjoon nodded impressively as he heard the soulful high note. Ailee was the first person he thought of that made Jen want to sing the song like that. It made him smile.
Jin placed a hand over his heart, shocked at what he had heard. “Ohhh mah God, where did she learn this!?”
Jungshooked, the Golden Maknae pointed his finger up high as he heard her high note and then started clapping with a proud smile. Although they weren’t dating just yet, he already felt like a proud boyfriend. He had only hoped that Ailee was nearby to at least hear her and see how much Jennie admired her.
The members noticed how the vein on her neck was visible and that she was really using her lungs. Somebody must’ve done something to make her go off because although it wasn’t the high note the original song was supposed to be, everyone loved it and it suited her more.
Fans were freaking out on social media:
'SING JENNIE! YES BISH'
'WHY ARE YOU HIDING THESE LUNGS!?'
'I didn’t know she can hit it that high'
'SING! SING! Ailee are you watching!?'
'GOD-DAMN'
'I see why she was so quiet during the Perfect Man cover. She wanted to shine with the girls, ahahah.'
'Are you serious? Is she serious right now?'
'Yo...'
'I cried.'
'DAMN, I didn’t expect that'
YASSSSS! HIT THAT NOTE! Show them!'
'I prefer her singing that Ailee type of high note instead of the original note anyway! I loved this!'
'I wouldn’t call it an Ailee high note, this is a JW high note as she made the verse her own.'
'I hope Ailee watched this'
'What the fuck!? I didn’t know your voice got that high!'
'My wife!'
'AILEE I really hope you notice her soon!'
Ending the note, Jennie breathed in and exhaled softly. “Woo!” she responded and shared a soft laugh with the girls.
Removing her headphones and getting out of the booth, she took out her bun and unzipped her jacket, strutting with her head up high to meet with the rest of them. Ruffling her hair, she stood next to Jimin and turned to the girls as they all smiled.
“Ladies, let’s show them,” Jihyo announced.
The lights dimmed and the music came back on with a beat change. The girls started off with a fierce dance break as the crowd screamed and cheered loudly, fan chanting their names. The lights came back on and they broke into two groups. Jihyo with Jimin while Jen paired herself with Hayoon. Jihyo and Jimin started dancing first. The duet dances were supposed to be fun, so they were dancing cutely and laughing with one another.
Jen and Hayoon began an adorable game of pattycake and then a fast-paced hand game of Numbers while Jihyo and Jimin cheered on in the background. Jennie and Hayoon were struggling not to laugh as they tried to concentrate. Hayoon ended up winning the game when Jen messed up and they all cheered and high fived.
Hayoon turned to the front to perform a silly dance and then pointed to Jennie. Looking around, Jen shrugged and began to perform Jungkook’s silly meme dance, shaking her hands, and swaying side to side. The dance certainly got ARMY screaming because it had to do with BTS.
Bangtan backstage began freaking out and started shaking Jungkook.
“She’s so extra.” Namjoon laughed, throwing his head back.
The Golden Maknae let out a boyish laugh. “I love you...” he murmured, shaking his head as he watched the screen. “You are just...incredible...”
After their cute dancing, the girls transitioned into dancing sexily as the crowd continued to get hyped. One by one, each girl had a solo dance by standing in front of the rest to perform while the rest followed her movements from behind.
After the dance break, Jennie ceased the sexy persona and broke out into a cute smile before the four of them finished the song, blowing the audience away. They were greeted with a loud round of applause and cheers as the girls embraced and headed backstage, celebrating their successful performance.
Other fan comments included:
'JenKook shippers get fed once again! She really did Jungkook’s meme dance, I am so happy!'
'SLAY! MY! LIFE!'
'WIG IS GONE! I’M BALD! SHE IS EXTRA AF AND I LOVE IT! GO TF OFF BITCH!'
'BITCH! BITCH! GIRL! How dare you!? Don’t play with me!'
'You’re just gonna do this to us!?'
'WOO!'
'Stop sleeping on my bias!'
'WHAT AND WHO caused her to go tf off because they need to do that again!'
'JenKook shippers, somebody check on Jungkook and see if he’s alive XD'
'I am so done with you, you were nervous for what Jennie?! That note!'
'That was not Jennie. That was JW right there. JW did not come to play!'
A gif reaction post was also posted, “Me when Jennie sang that high note!”
“Me when Jennie gave me life with her booty shakes!”
Walking backstage to where BTS was, Jen was immediately bombarded with various questions and comments.
“What was that!?”
“And so you decided to hide this from us because!?”
“Who taught you how to look sexy in front of the camera!?”
“I wanted it to be a surprise.” She laughed as they continued to praise her efforts. “How did I do?”
“Amazing! That was awesome!” she happily heard them yell.
“So, nice meme dance you performed out there. Who taught you that?” Jungkook teased and nudged her.
“I observed from the best.” she smiled and popped a smartie in her mouth.
----------
As soon as 2016 came around, Jennie was almost done packing to leave to go home for a few scheduled events. Bangtan was in a hotel around this time and she had gone to V’s room to ask if she could use his shower. Disappointed but not surprised, Namjoon used all the hot water and she refused to take a cold shower.
Once she was done showering, she went back to her room to continue packing and made sure she had everything.
Meanwhile, Jimin and Jungkook were filming a Bangtan Bomb in V’s room. The two stood in front of the mirror with Jimin holding the camera while Jungkook ruffled his hair.
“Hello everyone, the Maknae line has gathered and we plan to film something really fun today,” Jimin announced.
“Hair.” Jungkook grinned and started to mess up his hair
“There was someone who suggested their opinion of how we could play together and have fun. He’s a very important person in this plan.” he shifted the camera over to the two beds.
“But he’s sleeping.” he set the camera down on the bed that was next to the one that Tae was sleeping on. “What do I have to do if he sleeps, everyone?”
All of a sudden Jimin jumped on top of Tae, to try to wake him.
“Are you sleeping?! Are you sleeping?” he started thrashing around to try to wake him up. “Is it okay or is it not okay to sleep?”
He started hitting him with a pillow and burying it on top of his head, smacking the pillow. “Oh hello~” he laughed and got off of him once he felt him awaken.
Moments later, Jungkook and Jimin sat on the bed with Tae who had on a white hoodie as they faced the camera.
“Sitting here like this-what are we doing?” Jimin laughed.
“Hello. It’s been a while since you last saw my bare face, right?” Taehyung asked, looking at the camera, and putting up two peace signs.
Jimin followed suit. “Aye yo, what up?” he spoke in English before going back to Korean. “This is my bare face.”
“It’s ugly right?” Jungkook grinned
“I have a pimple right now.”
“Let’s choose the game we will play after gathering together like this,” Jimin suggested.
“We’ve already chosen, though.” Taehyung pointed out
“I remember it,” Jungkook added
“Originally, you’re supposed to do it like this. You’re supposed to explain it first.” Jimin giggled.
“Oh, then let me think about it a little.”
“Let’s do it again. Ready, cue.” he snapped his fingers with Tae. “Hey guys, guys.”
“What should we do today?” Tae asked.
“I say we should decide on what game to do today. The game we’ll do today...what do you think, Tae?”
“I kind of think that someone should be “It” the person who became it would cover their eyes with a ribbon and catch the other people, like a game of zombie, I think.”
“So you’re saying we should play a game of tag with someone’s eyes covered?”
“Yeah.”
“Yeah, you’re quite smart.” he high fived him.
“Because all the hyungs are sleeping, right now. So the Maknaes-“
“Should play quietly,” Jimin remarked. “What do you think?” He turned to Jungkook
“That’s good,” he replied.
“Hm...we’re missing a Maknae!” Jimin exclaimed. “Where oh where is our Jennie? Have you seen her? We need our Bangtan girl! How we miss her so!”
“She’s about to leave, remember?” Taehyung brought up. “She was just here to use the shower because Hyung used all the hot water.”
“Wait I thought she was leaving tomorrow night. She's leaving tonight?!” Jungkook exclaimed, freaking out.
“Yeah.”
Jungkook groaned and fell back on the bed while Jimin stopped filming and turned off the camera. He needed to see her before she left.
While Jungkook was contemplating, Jimin and Taehyung glanced at each other knowingly.
“She’s about to leave, Jungkookie,” Jimin spoke.
“I know...” he murmured.
Jimin let out a soft laugh, “You know, at first, we were all hyped and trying everything to get you two together. We thought of various ways for you to confess to her. But confessions aren’t perfect and like the movies. You should just go to her, right now. Before she leaves,"
Jungkook glanced at him and exhaled as his heart rate quickened.
“We know that there are many reasons why it’s hard to confess our feelings for someone. Especially if you’ve been friends for so long. We fear getting rejected.” Taehyung added. “Like we found the person who we really like but we have that fear of the possibility of them not returning our feelings. We get that. And then we fear that we could lose the friendship and things get awkward and you end up not talking like you used to. But at the end of the day, you never know unless you take that risk.”
“She may need some time to think and process after you tell her your feelings but don’t lose hope. Just tell her how you feel. Tell her everything. You have so much inside of you that you need to let out.” Jimin cheered on.
“You are Jeon Jungkook! The Golden Maknae! Do you realize how amazing you two will be together? How adorable you two will be? Think about how you guys were in Running Man!”
“You told Bam Bam to let her decide but I honestly think that no matter what, she’ll choose you because we see something that we hope that you two will see when you tell her your feelings. Now get out of here, no more stalling.” Jimin kicked him off the bed while Taehyung laughed.
“We’ll play hide and seek and film it after you come back.”
Jungkook got up and nodded. “Okay.”
He went to change into a pair of jeans, and a white shirt and placed a beanie on his head.
“She left her lotion in the bathroom. Bring this to her.” Taehyung handed him the bottle.
“Oh, and expect to get carried away in there.” Jimin began giggling, wiggling his eyebrows.
“Ah, I don't think that will happen," Jungkook replied.
“I dunno...you say that now but emotions will run high and sometimes you get so passionate that you get carried away.”
“I’m sure things will be fine. I just...hope she takes my words well.”
“Just be honest with her. She should know how you feel,”
Once the Golden Maknae left the room, the 95 Liners began jumping around in excitement before hugging.
“He’s finally going to do it!” Jimin cheered.
“So, how carried away do you think those two will be?”
“They’re teenagers, it’ll probably be intense. Jungkook is always full of surprises. I just hope he tells us everything when he returns,"
"Yeah. For now, let's just hope for the best,"
------
Jungkook’s heart raced as he inched closer to her room down the hall. He felt like this was about to be the most selfish thing he was ever going to do. And she was nearly minutes from leaving to go back to America for a short while.
‘Please...just let me not mess this up. Let this go well.’ he thought to himself.
With each step Jungkook took, the more his heart raced. He was really going to do it this time. Tell his best friend his feelings that he had been holding in for a long time. But how will it go when he tells her his feelings and she leaves for her flight right after?
Part of him wanted to chicken out and go back to his room, but he needed to say this, now. This was long overdue and he needed to let it out this time.
Deep in his thoughts, Jungkook soon realized that he was in front of her door. He knew she was alone so he wouldn’t have to worry about anyone interrupting them.
Swallowing hard, he aimed to knock but hesitated. The nerves were getting to him already.
But he had to push through.
He can do this.
