Idk how many people may remember this blog but hi! I'm Val aka Smolwritingchick.
I used to post The Bangtan Gal here on Tumblr. A BTS Jungkook love story about an 8th member of BTS, Jennie Walker.
I'm starting over. I have two stories I want to post on here that I deleted. A wrestling story called Forced To Believe which is about a female member of The Shield from WWE (I posted that on fanfiction.net many years ago) and my BTS story, Bangtan Gal. Currently editing chapters and will post them soon.
I took a long break from writing due to my mental health and just lack of motivation to write as I focused more on work and had other passions. But I miss it and would love to repost my work. I'm not a big fan of the fanfiction.net site these days so I will be posting my stories on Wattpad, Tumblr and Archive of our own for now on.
I'm hoping to continue The Bangtan Gal as I plan out new chapters after editing the old ones. For now, what matters is that I'm having all these chapters up from what has already been written so people can reread.
This blog will focus 95% on my K-Pop story The Bangtan Gal, so expect a lot of posts and asks regarding my K-Pop story and fewer posts about my wrestling story. I'm more focused on that, so sorry in advance.
I don't really care about the notes or views. I just want to post these up again and see where it goes.
I keep rereading my stories and I really miss it so why not?
Omgggg I was literally just thinking about you 🥺 I see I’m a couple years late to the return but I’m so glad you’re doing alright ❤️
Omggg hi!!! Missed youuu! I hope all is well! As soon as I saw the user I was like “WAIT I KNOW YOU!” ❤️😭 you and your unique and cute name
Life has been going but I’m very happy and taking it day by day! Honestly updates are going to be sporadic with no set schedule since I’m doing more things now but I’m not deleting any of my writing, I promise, lmfao. All of it is here to stay unless somehow Tumblr, wattpad and A03 somehow shut down or something. I also been saving my stuff as PDFs just in case too. Whenever I’m up for writing again I’ll continue. 😊
I have ideas and I miss how frequent I would update and write my ideas. I think about them so much. But I can’t write, right now. It’s a bit frustrating. Creativity is at a zero for my fanfics rn😔
Would Jennie ever do a throwback mv like with a vibe of this:
Oooo you know what never say never to her doing some cool throwback photoshoots to celebrate black history month and trying hairstyles like that and others. I always enjoyed the 90s hairstyles. I’d love for her to do something with that, like how Brandy would have her hair, too
Jungkook has been doing a lot of gaming lives (Weverse) recently. Does Jennie join him on those lives too and playing the game with him?
Absolutely! Those two will definitely be gaming just like old times. It’ll feel a bit nostalgic for ARMY when it happens and make them think about their first twitch streams years ago
Finally the update I have been waiting for. Once again, such a great chapter. I can't stop reading it because it has been a long time coming and I couldn't wait for them to come out publicly. Awesome job and will be waiting for the next update whether it be another chapter or the smol oneshots.
This is from September omfg I’m sorry yooo 😭
But thank you!! I’m really sorry for slow updates rn, everyone! I have no set date on when I’ll write again as I’m doing more in life with my passions changing. But I will not be deleting anything. I think about my stories a lot but things aren’t clicking for me to type. Whenever I want to write again, I’ll update. My motivation to write at the moment hasn’t been there and I haven’t really been deep into K-Pop like I used to as I’m getting older.
hi I’m loving The Bangtan Girl so far, you’re writing is amazing! I was wondering if Jennie has any tattoos or piercings or if she will ever get any? thanks, bye! 😊
Hi! Thank you so much 🥹💕 yes she does! When the members get their 7 (8 in the story) tattoos, hers will be on the side of her right wrist.
Friendship tattoos with her best friend angelina which is a small microphone with music notes with their initials. And I have plans to have JenKook have couples tattoos. Gosh I think I said one of them will have a heart and the other will have their actual heartbeat tattooed on them to match. And I may want her to have some back tattoos as well
Hi! I was wondering how would Jennie react when she sees J-Hope’s Killin it Girl MV? And the performance at Hope on the Stage tour concert in Seoul?
Sheesh I’m sorry for these late ass replies. Let me start emptying my inbox 😭 hi!!
I remember how everyone was freaking out that omfg. She’ll be in the know about everything and be lit affff watching it all unfold and love the chemistry he has with the dancers. She knows how dedicated and serious he is about his choreography and to see everything come out so beautifully will get her even more excited. She’ll be pretty damn shooked and proud watching everything.
For anyone that is going to the BTS concerts during presales and general sales, I wish you the best of luck. I was able to get my ticket so im gonna have a ball😆
I got a new job and been training and getting adjusted. When I get settled after training and in my actual work schedule I'll be back working on new chapters and answering the asks in my inbox!
Have a wonderful dayyyy! Thanks for all the love on the latest Bangtan Gal chapter!
The Bangtan Gal Chapter 95- BREAKING!! BTS' Jennie & Jungkook DATING!?
Chapter Summary: JenKook pull a Dispatch and go public with their relationship. Marvel scouts Jennie after her MAMA Award performance and Jen wearing a moo moo dress leads to some spicy consequences.
Words: 13,000+
Genre: Mainly fluff. A dash of smol smut
Author's Note: Writer's block is the WORST. Godddd I was NOT expecting to take this damn long to update. Life got so busy. I am so sorry again for taking forever but I have been thinking about my stories and what I want to write next. I hope this one can hold you for a bit.
For this chapter, I apologize in advance for some hurtful words written for this regarding JenKook. You know how it is when idols reveal their relationships and that negative side of the fanbase hits. But I truly believe the positive will outweigh it all. Also, I have been considering Jennie's social media break to be longer. So instead of the Billboard Awards 2017, I want it to be even longer than that. Maybe until 2018. I think people will begin to say how much they miss her social media presence and what she would post when talking about certain things happening around 2017. Also it is great to take social media breaks.
Also warning about talking about fan hate and threats and ect.
We're talking Marvel in this chapter and the Marvel character is an Original Character, not a real comic book character just an FYI.
All right, enjoy!

Hello. This is Big Hit Entertainment.

We ask that you respect their privacy and wish them happiness as a young couple. We will also take strong legal action against malicious actions and comments, especially towards Jennie, and will blacklist anyone who ignores this warning from all Big Hit related events.
Due to personal reasons, Jennie will be stepping away from future fan events until further notice. She will continue promotions with BTS as scheduled.

BREAKING: BTS' Jungkook and Jennie confirmed dating by Big Hit Entertainment
BTS' Jungkook and Jennie are reportedly in a relationship! The young couple shocked the world by posting their romantic photos together. Big Hit Entertainment released a statement confirming their relationship, and Dispatch has also released a report of photos since May 2016 of them enjoying sweet dates together.
------
On cue, Jennie and the rest of Bangtan went on to happily post about JenKook.
Jennie posted on Twitter and Instagram a photo of Jungkook's back, who sat at the edge of her bed, affectionately holding her foot, along with more photos of them together with the caption:
'To the one who makes me the happiest...My Tony Stark...I love you, Jungkook,'
----
Jungkook tweeted with a link to a GCF he created to reveal their relationship, along with a sunset photo of them together at the beach.
'My Pepper Potts...I'm never letting you go. I got you, first. Always. I love you, Jennie.'
----
Namjoon tweeted a photo of Jennie embracing Jungkook while he looked up at her, puckering his lips.
'Jungkook, I remember the day you told me and Suga about your confession. I told you not to worry. You two make each other happy. Nothing is going to change that.'
----
Yoongi posted a photo of Jennie being cozy with Jungkook as she was seen asleep on him.
'Like I said, you kids are two puzzle pieces that can't fit anywhere else but together.'
----
Jimin tweeted a photo of Jennie hugging Jungkook from behind, smiling up at him as he had a boyish grin on his face, looking like he's the happiest person ever in Jen's arms.
'Taehyung and I finally got them together! It was worth it, right? Hehehehe!'
Taehyung tweeted the silly selfie he took with Jimin during the night JenKook started dating when they dozed off on the bed.
'Long overdue! Our ship has sailed, Jimin! This was during the night they got together!'
-----
Jin tweeted a photo of JenKook laughing and being cozy together.
'You two are growing up so fast. I'm proud of you, both. I just hope you two continue to keep the doors open at all times. I'm being serious!'
------
J-Hope posted a cute photo of JenKook posing with Jen on Jungkook's lap along with videos of them dancing together.
'Look at my munchkin and Jungkookie being so cute together! I'm happy for you both!'
------
With all the posts regarding JenKook's relationship revealed, the world began to go into a frenzy, losing their minds. Both negatively and positively, as Netizens commented:
'What the HELL!? WHAT!?'
'I BEG YOUR PARDON!? WHAT!? DATING!? AHHHHHHH!'
'Jungkook, I get it!'
'People are jealous of Jennie for dating the Golden Maknae but I'm jealous of him for bagging a baddie like her!'
'Cries in Bi! I want them both!'
'A break?? No more fan signs for Jennie?'
'It ALL makes sense!! The black girlfriend effect! Cause he has been looking FINE for a long time now,'
'Wait, if you go back to see all those past videos of BTS since January, you will see the signs! Omg, it's so obvious now!'
'No fr Jennie, I UNDERSTAND!'
"Can Jennie fight?" did you NOT see when she broke her old leader's nose for tormenting Bangtan!? YES tf she can fight!'
'Jennie gets a pass. She can fight and I do not want NO parts after her breaking Hailey's nose. Rumor has it she even paid for her medical bill lmfao!'
'Good for them!'
'Both of them are hot and deserve each other.'
'He better treat our black queen, right!'
'Mother Jennie, I hope you are happy!'
'Jungkook has amazing taste.'
'Imagine having Jungkook as your boyfriend!? Likeee!?'
'Geez the fact that she's not even doing any more fan events until further notice is speaking volumes when she's the one with the most fan service. But I don't blame her,'
'This is THE energy I expect my boyfriend to have because look how he stands by her'
'And screw these “fans” with their barrage of racism & misogyny towards Jennie. No matter what, no one will diminish her light.'
'We love you, Jen!! You continue to be an inspiration to us all.'
'JenKook, we will always love you.'
'Don’t you just love black women being publicly loved on? Keep making these haters mad and continue to love who you love.'
'I better be invited to the wedding!!!'
'I'm disappointed. What about black love?? Why an Asian?'
'Is it too early to ask to be a bridesmaid when y’all get serious?'
'We love the friends to lovers relationship.'
'JenKook shippers shipped the RIGHT couple. We won!'
'LOL at people saying it’s a publicity stunt when the proof is right there!'
'I’ve watched these two for a very long time. Their love is real!'
'Of all people she dates...she settles for an Asian?? Come on, Jennie. You can do better than that...'
'He's not even that attractive, so what does she see in him?'
'OK, publicity stunt is over, guys! Y'all can stop now. There is no way this is true! Why is Big Hit desperate for relevancy? SM Entertainment is better! EXO will always be better!'
'She's dating some Chinese dude?? Girl, be for real...what happened with Kevin?'
'It's not like he's going to marry you, Jennie, lol. He's going to get tired of you soon.'
'A black woman?? He's dating a black woman? This is weird. Why not a Korean woman?'
'Why be with someone with dirty skin and tangled hair?'
'List of 100 Asian women Jungkook can date instead of Jennie, ongoing thread!'
'IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MEEEEE!'
'Are they looking for a third???'
'It's not April yet, this isn't funny...'
'I am so tired of these interracial couples...'
'Jungkook down like that??'
'The way Jungkook had been acting around her was a dead giveaway.'
'The jealousy is crazy, lmfaooo. Haters mad she got Jungkook!'
'What do you MEAN JenKook are dating!? I just woke up wtf did I miss!?'
'Jennie did WHAT!? And sat in front of Hyuna!? Dating reveal!? Wtf happened when I was asleep!?'
'This is going to go down as one of the craziest moments in K-Pop history. Jennie is for the history books. I have no choice but to applaud.'
'Big Hit, PLEASE protect Jennie. I'm worried for her mental health after all this.'
'International armies waking up to three bombshells, lmfaooo!'
'PLEASE let me know if you are open to a throuple!'
'Hardest launch ever!'
'Couple of the year!'
'I am unwell.'
'I don't like this...'
'We need to do a whole analysis from January 2016 to now!'
'They took a hard launch to a whole new level wtffff!'
'This is going to be talked about for years to come.'
'Taking Bring Your Significant Other to work day seriously.'
'One of the most iconic hard launches ever!'
'I dieddddd!'
'Black girls are winning! Dating since January!? Oh, this relationship is SERIOUS! I love that she's so loved on!'
'I always felt like I was intruding whenever they looked at each other.'
'This explains why she was glowing coming home from Japan! I know she had a good time on her birthday lollll'
'Thank you, Big Hit, for protecting Jennie! Y'all better not mess with JenKook!'
'Yes, blacklist all those fake ass fans who try to threaten JenKook!'
'Those two bet not apologize for dating!'
'So, Jennie are you gonna share!?'
'He is FOINE!!'
'Jennie is an airhead for even thinking about dating him. So stupid.'
'She's not gonna love him like I do!'
'Nah FUCK her dating him!'
'I'll respect his decision that he chose her instead of me...'
'Nah, I'm not gonna send her death threats, she can actually throw hands, and her family is from Philly. That's Gotham City. She scares me lowkey,'
Meanwhile, Mina and Jihyo from Twice were in a van with the other members, leaving the show. The two giggled amongst themselves as they excitedly read the posts revealing JenKook's relationship. It finally happened. The secret was out, and it was on their terms. They were so happy for their friends. The whole industry was shaken up by the news as they saw them both being the number one trends on social media platforms.
"They actually did it!" Mina beamed.
"I hope they're going to be okay. This is shaking up the industry, a lot," Jihyo said with worry.
"Any update from the group chat?"
"Yeah! Jennie and Jungkook just haven't responded yet."
The two looked at the 97 Liner group chat to see lots of memes and supportive messages towards the couple. On Jen's Instagram post regarding her relationship with Jungkook, her friends were quick to send comments of love and support
ItzAngelinaa: REAL LOVE! I love you, sis!
xxxibgdrgn: I wish you both well
2taeil2: I remember like it was yesterday seeing him watch you with heart eyes when we practiced for the MAMA Awards. I'm happy he made the move.
woozico0914: You both are called the Golden Duo for a reason.
Yugyeom commented, 'You two :)' and even posted the silly video he recorded with Mina of JenKook play fighting.
__youngbae__: Dope Relationship congratz
HayHayYoonie: I love you both dearly! The golden duo always and forever
real__pcy: Golden Duo :)
baekhyunee_exo: Happy for you, Jennie
Laytastic: Awww look at you two! So precious!
Jacksonwang852g7: ITS ABOUT TIME!! Congratulations!!
bambam1a: Finally!! Now I can post all those silly pictures of you two!
When fans saw Bam Bam's comments and post of JenKook, it surprised them since everyone knew about his feelings for her. But then realized that the two of them are still great friends, and he had moved on from his little crush.
--------
"Honey?" Jungkook whispered, causing Jennie to stir and open her eyes. "We landed,"
Landed.
Back in Seoul. Back home. Hoo boy...
Once they step foot off the plane, there will be no more peace. And their lives as they knew them were going to change forever.
'Congratulations, Jennie. Half the world wants to be you and half the world wants to kill you for dating the Golden Maknae.' Jennie thought with amusement after thinking about what she and the others had done before she deleted all her social media apps from her phone.
Doomscrolling was an issue for her when she first got fan hate during her debut. She grew out of it and has been pacing herself more regarding social media. But after this big announcement, all platforms were bound to be a toxic warzone. She could see it now. Fans defending her and fighting with others, haters sending gross and racist messages, the whole package. She did not want to see that bullshit. And despite true fans flooding her comment section with positive messages to drown out the negativity, she just wanted to step away from screens for a while and look at the world around her, through her eyes.
How long would this break be? She had no idea, but she already felt free after taking that big step to delete everything.
Miss Bangtan stretched and let out a sigh as the anticipation grew. This was going to be a long night. A long week. A long month. Probably a long rest of the year, and next year, after the bombshell they just dropped with the support of their friends and the company.
She was going to take a hiatus from Fan Signs and other fan events with Bangtan. She decided to keep to herself while still being a part of the group, doing the upcoming tour, and other promotions. It was rare for something like that to happen, but it was nice that the company allowed this. She wanted to take a step back. Be a bit more low-key and just work. Work on music, singing, dancing, and other hobbies. She'll always love the fans, but a break from everyone was heavily needed to protect her mental health as she planned to surround herself with her trusted circle and family.
'You're going to be OK,' she thought as she watched people begin gathering their items and standing up from their seats.
Off the plane, Bangtan gathered their bags and began to walk through the airport. As expected, hundreds of fans, as well as media and Dispatch, were already there, waiting to get the latest scoop on the newly revealed couple. Dispatch was mortified. They were not expecting JenKook to reveal their relationship on their own. The company was working on the big scoop for months, but due to the couple's strategic steps in being one step ahead of them, it ruined the plan. This caused them to immediately release whatever information they pulled from watching them, way earlier than usual. This hasty decision had also caused fans to point out their mistakes that Jungkook himself corrected in his GCF.
The moral of the story is, Dispatch fucked around and found out. And the Golden Duo is always one step ahead. The thought made Jennie smirk in satisfaction. JenKook felt a huge sense of victory knowing that they beat Dispatch. Serves them right after being so nosy and ruining people's privacy. Couples should have the right to announce their relationship on their terms. What if they don't even want to reveal it to the public? They shouldn't be outed at all. The two wanted to reveal their relationship a bit later, but it was nice not to have to be so subtle with their love in public. Jungkook himself was eager to hold her without a care for who sees now.
Standing next to Jungkook, Jen could hear the loud screaming and cheering from afar.
"Oh boy," she murmured as butterflies hit her stomach.
"Own that shit, girl," Angelina nudged her with a smile. "Keep your head up high and show off your man. You have someone who has loved and cherished you for a long time. Also, never forget that you are surrounded by people who love you. Don't let any outsiders change that. We got you,"
"Hell yeah, I will," Jen firmly nodded. "Thanks, sis,"
With a comforting hand on the small of her back, Jen looked up to see Jungkook smiling in reassurance, causing her nervousness to continue to subside slowly. Jungkook was nervous too, but being close to her side made him feel at ease as they prepared for this next big step in their relationship. Being out in public.
"I'm right here with you. Ready?" he asked softly with a loving smile.
She smiled back and nodded. "As I'll ever be. I'm ready,"
"So...you two want to lead the way?" Jimin giggled, grabbing Jungkook from behind with a hug, causing the two to play fight.
"Get off, hyung!" Jungkook laughed.
"Ennie and Jungkookie~!" Taehyung cheered, grabbing onto Jen as she began to laugh.
"Would you leave them alone?" Yoongi chuckled as both 95 Liners released the couple.
"Yeah, we'll walk first," Jen replied. "I don't mind,"
"Yeah, I don't mind, either," Jungkook added and extended his hand out to her after putting his black mask on.
She happily took it after placing her noise-canceling headphones over her ears. She placed her phone back in her pocket after pressing shuffle, and Spotlight by Mutemath popped on.
'The irony...' she chuckled to herself, thinking about that Twilight scene of Edward and Bella.
With some security and staff walking in front of them, along with the managers, JenKook began walking while the rest of Bangtan walked behind. A smile crept up behind Namjoon's mask as he watched the young couple with their heads up high, walking together confidently.
'Here we go,' Jen thought as she firmly held her boyfriend's soft hand.
Their smiles never left their faces as they felt a huge weight lifted off their shoulders. They didn't need to hide anymore. They could love and embrace each other publicly, having a firm barrier to not let any negativity draw them apart, as they had promised each other.
As soon as the public saw the staff of Big Hit, cheers began to get louder as everyone anticipated the members, especially the newly revealed couple. Once JenKook stepped out, pandemonium hit. Thank goodness for those noise-canceling headphones, as her music drowned out the noise. But she saw the various expressions of excitement from fans and the urgency of the media, who were asking many questions regarding their relationship. The constant flashes of light from the cameras were a bit irritating as Jungkook led the way. Phones and cameras were all over, trying to get the best view of the new couple. Security did very well to avoid the entire group getting mobbed.
Jungkook's movements did not go unseen as he firmly pulled Jennie to him by releasing her hand and wrapping an arm around her waist, making her walk even closer to him. That sparked more screams as the action caused the Bangtan Girl to smile harder, which was caught on camera.
Jimin and Taehyung refrained from backflipping out of joy as they saw the way Jungkook pulled her closer. The two glanced at each other with glee and continued to walk through the chaotic fans and media with the rest of the members and staff.
Making it outside, security began opening the doors for the members to step in. As the members got in the car, JenKook remained outside. Just before Jungkook decided to get in, Jennie chose to stop him. She pulled down his mask and gave him a sweet kiss on the lips, which he happily returned, not having a care in the world.
As soon as they locked lips, a huge commotion occurred as loud screaming filled the area along with frequent flashes and clicks for photos. Angelina dropped her jaw while the members watched on in surprise and happiness. After the couple got in the car and sat next to each other, they were finally on their way back home.
"Well damn, that's how you stand on business with your man. That kiss had a purpose," Angelina praised.
"Really? Was the kiss necessary?" Jin playfully scolded.
"Yes, it was. That felt so good to do," Jen sighed in content.
"Definitely," Jungkook grinned.
"Well, the return to Seoul wasn't so bad," Taehyung giggled.
"For now. I'm glad I didn't get attacked," Jen pointed out.
"Like we'd let that happen," Yoongi said in a protective tone.
"Yeah, no way. You're always going to be safe with us," Namjoon reassured.
The ride back was peaceful and filled with fun vibes as various conversations occurred. Meanwhile, Jen and Jungkook caught up on the 97 Liner group chat, replying happily to all the memes and supportive messages.
Jennie: Safe and sound! I hope you all get home safely.
Eunha: We're so glad you two are ok!
The8: Yeah, that was a lot of people at the airport. No one tried to touch you, right?
Jungkook: She's fine. I wasn't going to let that happen.
The8: Good, I'm relieved.
Jennie: Yeah, I'm fine. No one tried to hurt me. Jungkook, the rest of the guys, and staff made sure I was well surrounded.
Jihyo: Are we going to discuss that kiss at the airport???
Mina: OMG yeah!! I've been freaking out since I saw the photos and videos!
Eunha: You two are so cuteeee
Jihyo: Aren't they?!
Mingyu: LOL get a room, you two!
Jungkook: We will ;)
Bam Bam: Hahahaha, keep it PG
Jennie: Hehehehe.
Hayoon: I won the bet! I predicted you two were going to kiss in front of the media!
Jennie: Betting again???
Jungkook: We're a hot commodity, aren't we, honey?
Jennie: Looks that way lol.
Bam Bam: Everyone owes me, Hayoon and Yugyeom dinner
Mina: I could go for some hot pot one day
Jungkook: We'll have to plan to go eat sometime next year
Yuju: I'm down!
Jihyo: Me toooo
And everyone else began to agree and try to compare their busy schedules.
-------------------
"Yes, I'm fine," Jennie chuckled while petting Tony. "Don't worry. I'm feeling good. I'll be safe and in my trusted circle,"
Jennie was back safely in her room, seated on her bed, on a group call with her parents and sisters. She called them as soon as she made it home, and they all discussed the extreme turn of events at the MAMA Awards. Her family continued to praise how open JenKook were about themselves and could not stop talking about their kisses at the show and the airport.
"And you're still doing the tour, right?" Alani asked.
"Yep," Jen answered. "I'm going to be taking a step back from all those fan events. I think it'll be a good thing. But it's not going to be a vacation. I'll be working on other stuff instead, like music. So, I will still be at work. I won't be sitting at home, doing nothing,"
"I understand that. That could be a sign to work on that solo music,"
"Oh yeah. I want to share some of what I'm working on at the Philly show for the Wings tour. It'll be so special,"
"Oh?! It's been confirmed!? Big Hit is allowing it?"
"Yeah! A video announcement will be dropped soon enough. I cried when they told me. It'll be at the Wells Fargo Center,"
"You know we'll be there," her dad happily said.
"Yeah, the Philly show is gonna be lit! I just can't get over that stage presence. Like I wanted you to beat her ass on stage, but what you did was even better," Vienna praised.
"Oh, so we're all in agreement that she should have gotten smacked? Cause I did not like the way that she came at you," their mom brought up.
"No need to get violent. It's over and done with. She got the message. But I do admit sometimes violence can be the answer," Alani added.
"Wow, coming from you? Okay," Jen said.
"How is Jungkook?" her father asked.
"He's doing very well. We're gonna be getting ready for bed soon."
Jen turned and refrained from laughing once she saw Jungkook wearing one of her bonnets when he walked in. He grinned and motioned for her to put the phone on speaker.
"Oh, he wants to say hi. Hold on a second," she stood up, placed the call on speaker, and handed the phone to him.
"Hello! How are you?" Jungkook greeted in English.
Meanwhile, her family chose to say hello in Korean. Hearing both languages caused them all to chuckle.
"We've been trying to learn some Korean to make you feel more comfortable in conversation. Your English is outstanding. Jennie, you're doing an amazing job teaching him," her father praised as she appreciated his words.
"Your Korean is good! I appreciate you wanting to learn it," Jungkook added.
It made his heart leap with joy to hear her family speak Korean to him. His parents were learning more English to be able to talk to Jennie and one day meet her family. Perhaps they'll officially meet during their graduation.
After getting off the phone, Jennie pointed out the bonnet on his head.
"My bonnet? Really?" she laughed with him and snatched it off.
"I had to. Your reaction was priceless," he giggled as she rolled her eyes playfully and prepared her outfit for school.
"I feel you looking at me. Are you plotting something else?" she teased and stopped what she was doing to give him her full attention after a little while.
There was a look of love and earnestness in his eyes as the silence was comfortable with them being alone, while Tony was relaxing.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" She felt her face flush and watched as he walked over to her.
Suddenly, he pulled her in for a smooch, catching her by surprise. His hands gently cupped her face as he kissed her repeatedly, making her almost lose her balance. Pulling away, leaving her breathless, he continued to hold her face and pressed his forehead against hers as they opened their eyes.
"I love you," he whispered.
She smiled. "And I love you,"
"I'm never going to let you go. I promise you,"
"I'll never let you go. I promise you. We're standing next to each other, remember?"
"I remember. Good night, Jennie," he smiled and pulled away from her.
"Good night,"
Jennie couldn't stop smiling as she watched him leave. After all this time dating, he still makes her feel so giddy.
------------
Reactions from idols did not go unnoticed by fans. BlackPink talked amongst themselves about JenKook, admiring their bravery, and were pleasantly surprised that they took the risk to reveal their relationship to the public.
"I think it's a beautiful thing that they did this. It shows how much they love and trust ARMY," Jisoo mentioned.
"Yeah, I hope to have that mindset, one day. To not have a care in the world and just love who I love publicly. Jen is in her idgaf era, huh?" BlackPink's Jennie added with a smile, admiring her.
“I cannot believe they’re doing this and staying strong. Have you seen the horrible comments on Jen’s page? I hope she’s okay. People are so awful,” Lisa said with a frown.
“She did say she deleted her social media to avoid it. Being away from social media seems to be doing more good for her. She still looks happy, and when I messaged her, she was still in good spirits," Rosé brought up.
“Well, that's good. Their announcement gave me whiplash. I was stunned.”
“I believe they thought about this for a long time. It’s nice that their company supports them,"
On a V-Live with BlackPink, they briefly commented about it with Rosé saying, “The industry is still buzzing about it. Jen always looks so happy lately, doesn’t she? Jungkook brings out a whole different side of her.”
“Yeah, and the way she looks at Jungkook is adorable. There is no denying it.” Jisoo smiled.
Even IOI was shooked and happy to see how Jennie went from helping them train during their show, to being a part of one of the biggest K-Pop announcements in the industry.
"There is never a dull moment with Jennie Unnie, is there?" Yeonjung giggled.
"I know. Now I want a boyfriend. They're so cute," Sohye sighed.
As the news about JenKook was still fresh, it appeared that fans were starting to see more idols being vocal about being fixated on Jennie, and some were calling her their ideal type. Whenever it was because of her looks or her personality, ARMY was happy to see people more vocal about how much they adored Jennie despite the relationship reveal. What caused a surprise was when Zelo from BAP tweeted, 'Pain...' when he retweeted a post about Jennie not being single. It was news to a lot of people besides BAP's fandom that he became infatuated with Miss Bangtan and always liked her posts.
Even Monsta X's IM brought up on a live that Jennie was an amazing person and someone he'd want to date if she were interested in him. And that he is happy that they are friends, and she is fun to talk to. Also, Seventeen's Seungkwan mentioned how fun her personality is and loved how well she plays volleyball, hoping to play a match with her one day.
On a V-Live, Mingyu happily spoke about his friends. "Jennie and Jungkook?" he grinned. "I’m pleased that my friends finally shared their love with the world. They will overcome anything,”
And the new group NCT had Johnny casually saying how much he loves Jennie's smile, and Mark calling Jennie his favorite BTS member.
With Bam Bam on a live, when asked about JenKook, he proudly spoke about his friends by saying, "I gave Jungkook a warning that I'd fight him if he breaks her heart. I told him he'd better treat her right. Jennie deserves all the love she gets."
Jackson laughed at him in the background and brought up that what Bam Bam said was true, and even Yugyeom confirmed it.

After Jin's birthday, which was celebrated with Jennie and Jin baking his birthday cake together, since she did not have time to do it before, Yoongi strolled around the dorm, taking a break from working on music. He decided to walk to Jennie's room to check on her. It was good that she was still doing fine despite all the chaos of the relationship reveal and MAMA Awards drama. But he still wanted to see if she was all right as the days went by.
Gently opening the door, he noticed that no one was in there and began to look confused.
"Smartie?" he asked, looking around.
Curious about her whereabouts, he pulled up his phone to track her shared location.
With Jennie, she sat on the ground, looking up at the sky, enjoying the solitude of Han River. Dressed in all black with a hoodie over her head, she was bundled up, and she was incognito as she enjoyed her alone time. It was nice to get a moment to herself to breathe and be away from the flashing cameras and constant screaming over her relationship. The pros and cons of being famous. She couldn't wait for people to freak out over a new topic. Going to school after revealing her relationship was a pain in the ass. Every day, the sneaking of photos and videos, people trying to know every detail of the relationship, and even some teachers were lowkey acting a little weird.
Overall, she felt good. Her head was still in a good space as she surrounded herself with good people and did not let toxic social media ruin her mental health. Taking a break from social media was the best choice. And as hard a choice as it was…taking a break from fan meetings was also the best decision.
As she sat, she continued writing lyrics in her notebook, taking time to work on some ideas that came to mind.
"Jennifer," a deep voice called out.
Turning her head, she smiled as she watched Yoongi approach her and take a seat beside her.
"Hey, Yoongi. Sorry, didn't feel like sleeping just yet. My mind is a little all over the place, and I started writing lyrics again. I couldn't get it out of my head. You know how that is,"
"I understand. I figured you'd be here when I checked your location. You doing ok?"
She chuckled, dryly. "Living the dream. But honestly, I am just tired of the constant media attention on Jungkook and me. And once we start those press conferences for our next album, I just know I'm gonna be bombarded by the reporters. Ugh, it's exhausting. It's even worse at school. The teachers are even bad, like damn, can we learn?"
Yoongi let her continue to vent as he listened, giving her his undivided attention. He pulled a few packs of Smarties from his pocket for her to munch on as she thanked him and proceeded to vent.
"Would it be such a big deal if I weren't black? They act like interracial relationships are something scary. It shouldn't be a big deal. It's been a bit rough seeing the death threats that my family and friends have dealt with. Come at me, but don't go after my family and friends. I even saw some bringing up that if I have kids, they want to harm them. Like? The fuck? Really? Is it really that deep? I'm not even thinking about the idea of having kids right now, but damn. Shit is rough. Really rough. But I'm going to be ok. And I know you guys will be there to protect me, too. Me and Jungkook. And I know that no matter what, I'm loved and appreciated. I will continue to do my best to drown out the noise. Honestly, this is all just making me want to keep my distance. Take a step back. I know I'm the one who gives the big fan service, but the true supporters will understand that I need this. I need a break. I just want to be with my friends and family and work in silence as I stay in BTS. I'll still do the tour, I'll still do my thing, but it'll be a little while until I can bounce back and see the fans for fan events,"
She let out a sigh. "It's just really us against the world, huh? My circle of idol friends is going to become smaller and smaller. I don't fuck with Amber anymore."
"Oh, really?" Yoongi asked, a little surprised since they used to hang out so frequently.
"Yeah, she completely took Hyuna's side. So, what, I'm the bad guy cause I defended myself and checked her? And you know Hyuna is a done deal. There is no coming back from that bullshit she pulled. No one is reaching out to see if I'm ok except for Hayoon and the 97 Liners in the group chat and a few others. But damn, it's like some people that I thought would have my back, really don't give a fuck. It's crazy. But you know what? I'm disappointed but not surprised. Because I was warned that not everybody is your friend. And as we continue to be in this industry and get bigger and bigger, we really need to make sure that we're cautious about who we let into our circle. I'm so fucking serious, Yoongi,"
Yoongi nodded and pulled her into his arms as she leaned her head against his shoulder.
"All this fake love, it's bullshit," she added. "And I refuse to let any of you guys get taken advantage of by clout chasers and fakeassness. Over my dead body. It is on fucking sight once we break into the American music industry. Because that industry is not all rainbows and sunshine,"
"I don't blame you, smartie. It's going to be ok. And remember, you two aren't going to go through this alone. Especially you,"
"For sure. Thank you,"
------
Finally catching up with Diana, Jennie happily chilled with her at the Smartie Factory, eating lunch together. After catching up on gossip and life, Diana went down to business.
"So, I have some news. I discussed this with Big Hit already, and they are all for it. But it is all up to you," Diana said with an excited smile.
"Oh? What is it?" Jen asked as she decided to lie back in her chair.
"So, your performance at the MAMA Awards has gone viral."
"Yeah, I'm aware. What about it?"
"You know Marvel is working on movies, right?"
"Diana, now is not the time to joke around." Jennie's stomach dropped as she chuckled nervously.
Marvel has always been such a passionate subject. But why did she bring up Marvel? What about Marvel?
"I'm not. Black Panther's Director, Ryan Coogler and casting director Sarah Finn, have shown keen interest in you because of your performance. Specifically, your walk and how you seem to resemble a character that they are currently trying to cast for Black Panther. And they are interested in seeing if you want to audition for the role,"
Jennie immediately sat up as she tried to process what she had just said. "You're joking," she shook her head in disbelief.
"I'm being serious,"
"No, you're not. You're lying!"
"Girl, the emails are right here," Diana laughed and grabbed her folder and showed her the receipts, causing Miss Bangtan to freak out.
"What!? Me!? Audition!? What!?"
She giggled. "Yes, Jen. And I think you should try it out and see how it goes,"
After calming herself down, Jennie got a good look at the audition information.
"You know the character Arjana?" her manager asked.
It rang a bell. Jennie wasn't the biggest comic book reader, but in Black Panther, Arjana was a former Dora Milaje member and half American and half Wakandan who had a chip on her shoulder.
"Ryan specifically brought up your walk. He said it was a nice visual of how he wanted Arjana to walk in the movie. Because that character is known for her signature walk in the comics,"
"This is so sudden, though, like damn, he wants me to try to audition for a role like this?"
"Hey, some actors got scouted just by looking pretty and then got acting lessons. Don't sell yourself short. Besides, you've been taking classes. I think it's a great opportunity. It's not uncommon for singers to be in movies. You never know unless you try. So, what's it gonna be?"
After a moment, Jennie decided to take that leap.
"Okay. Let's do it."
"All right, I'll let them know and let Big Hit know. I'll get details on the audition script, when and where the audition is, and all that stuff. But for now, what you need to do is start researching the character so you can at least get an idea of what you gotta act like,"
"Sounds like a plan,"
Later that day, all that was on Jennie's mind was that audition. She spent all day reading up on the character in her room. Hearing a slight knock on her door, she told the person to come in. Jungkook walked in with a bowl of Smarties.
"Oh, thank you, babe. I've been craving these," she beamed and gestured for him to sit on the bed.
"You're welcome. You seem a bit worked up. Everything, all right?" he asked as he pet Tony, who was lying on her bed.
"A little on edge,"
"What's on your mind?" he asked as she placed her iPad to the side and sighed.
"So, Diana told me some awesome news, but I'm just really nervous. She told me that the director and casting director of Black Panther want me to audition for one of the roles of a side character."
Jungkook's eyes lit up as he immediately yelled "What!?" and pulled her in for an excited hug, making her laugh and embrace him back.
"Honey, that's a huge deal! You're going to do it, right?! You better do it! You'd be crazy not to!" he exclaimed.
She giggled and nodded. "I am, I am. I'm just a little nervous, that's all,"
"Don't be. They see something in you and see the potential. I think you're gonna be just fine. Maybe you should ask Taehyung to help you with lines,"
"I just might actually. So far, only you know. I'm gonna text Hayoon about it shortly."
"I'll leave you to it. But make sure you take breaks, all right? If you need anything, tell me. I'll be gaming,"
"I got you," she said as she got her forehead kissed by him and watched him leave.
She grabbed her phone and went on to text Hayoon.
Jennie: Hayoonnnnn. Gurl...you'll never believe what happened!!
After a few moments, she got a reply.
Hayoon: Jennieeeeee! What happened?
Miss Bangtan went on to text her all the details of her getting an offer to audition for Black Panther.
Hayoon: OMG OMG OMG ARE U SERIOUS?!
Jennie: YES! IM STILL SHOOKED
Hayoon: I'm SO happy for you ahhhhhh! Congratulations! How is everything going???
Jennie: I got the little script to audition, but I'm still trying to do some research to get a better understanding of the character
Hayoon: Oh, I actually know someone who can help u!
Jennie: Really? I would appreciate it. I need all the help I can get
Hayoon: Yeah! Remember I was telling you about the person who has been making me happy, lately??
Jennie pondered for a moment. A while ago, Hayoon had told her that she had been seeing someone privately.
Jennie: Yeah!
Hayoon: She's the comic enthusiast I've been talking to. Nonfamous and works at her family's comic book shop. She's my partner now!
Jennie: Omggg that's so sweet. I'm so happy for you!!
Hayoon: Thank you. I trust you, and I talk about you a lot to her. She'll be more than happy to help you learn more about the character. If anyone knows superheroes, it's her. She'll be your guiding light. I'll send you the address and let her know you'll be making a stop.
And after that, a few days later, Jennie found herself in front of the shop. She was told to come in after closing hours so she could have privacy, which she appreciated. While Jen was doing this, the rest of Bangtan went to Japan for their fan meeting. The boys informed her that a lot of ARMY at the fan meetings asked about her, which made her happy.
"Hi!" a Korean woman around her age beamed and let her inside. "Auditioning for Arjana from Black Panther, correct?"
She looked stunning with her blond hair in a big ponytail and blue glasses over her face. She had jeans and a big Spider Man shirt on, as she welcomed Jennie.
"Yeah, I am! Thank you for this. I'm nervous, but Hayoon recommended that you're the best person to ask for help on the character."
"My girlfriend knows best," she grinned. "It's nice to meet you, Jennie. I'm Hana. She told me a lot about you. Thank you for being by her side all the time. She's lucky to have a good friend like you."
"Nah, I'm the lucky one. She's been the best. It's nice to meet the person who has been making her so happy. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me."
"Thank you. So, talk to me. When is the audition, and what are they doing?"
"Ok, my audition is in a few days. All I can really say is that the role is small for now, and they plan to film a scene here in South Korea and want Arjana's introduction to be there."
"Hm...the big factor is Arjana's walk and her signature catchphrases. Hayoon told me a big reason why they wanted you to try out the role is that your signature walk is something they see in Arjana. The fact that your Mama Award performance is still talked about to this day is amazing. I understand why the casting directors are interested in seeing what you can do. But just a walk isn't going to get you the role. From the videos I've seen of you, you have her mannerisms down, but you need to fully embrace the character."
"Thank you, and that's why I'm here. I was going to buy some Black Panther comics to prepare. I wanted to read up on her and get a feel of how she carries herself," she said as she began to grab a few comics.
"Wait, don't pick that comic up."
"Why not?"
Hana proceeded to grab a few specific comics of Black Panther. "If you want to nail that audition and make the role your own, these are the only comics you need to read. Read these and you're good to go."
"That's it? Just these?"
"Yep. The rest will be elementary. I like the enemies-to-lovers trope. I'm interested to see how Bucky Barnes and Arjana will look on the big screen. Keep me updated on your progress."

One evening, Jennie was dancing to her music playing in the background while braiding her hair into two pigtails in her bathroom and placing a pink bonnet on her head. She then heard her phone buzz.
Vienna: Are you wearing the moomoo?
The moomoo dress.
Jennie checked out her reflection in the mirror. She was wearing a pink one. The loose, ankle length dress was comfy on her. Since she and Jungkook have gotten super comfortable with each other, Jen wanted to begin wearing moomoos after Vienna suggested it. Her sister seemed even more excited than she was about wearing one, but she thought it looked cute.
Jen: Yeah! Thanks for this! It's cute and comfy. I chose the pink one for tonight. Perfect loungewear.
Vienna: Oh, good! Have fun getting devoured! ;)
Jen: Huh??
Confused, Jennie chuckled and shook her head.
"Goofy..." she murmured.
Fresh out of the shower, she wore the moomoo with nothing underneath. It was another rare night where JenKook were alone. The guys were either out eating or still in the studio. And whenever an occasion occurred, JenKook liked to take advantage by staying behind. They spent tonight watching a movie, and then she chose to shower while he decided to game online with his friends.
"He's in the building on the right," Jungkook announced as he sat in front of the TV in the living room, playing another one of his favorite shooting games with his friends.
His headset was on as he sat on the couch, shirtless, wearing black sweatpants. He glanced over to see Jennie walking out of her room and did a double take, getting a full view of her not wearing anything underneath her outfit. It distracted him, the way her chest bounced and her ass jiggled, and as a result, his character got shot down, making his team lose the match.
"Damn GGs!" he heard one of his teammates on the mic.
Unknown to Jennie, who went to finish straightening up in the kitchen, Jungkook remained captivated as he observed her, tilting his head to the side to get a better view of her backside.
What was she wearing? And why did it look so good on her?
"Yo, Jungkook, you still here?" another teammate asked.
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm still here," he answered, forcing himself to look back at the screen and ready up for another match.
Feeling her soft hand run through his hair, he smiled and muted himself, looking up at her.
"What are you wearing?" he asked as he tried to keep himself composed with his eyes lingering down to her lips.
"Okay, don't laugh. I know I look like a grandma," she chuckled. "It's a moomoo. Vienna ordered me some. I always wanted to wear one, and I was like why not now? It's nice and comfy, right?"
"You look good. Really good,"
"Really? Thank you," she grinned, pleased that he didn't make fun of her for it. "How's the game?"
'Screw the game. I want you,' he answered in his head.
"It's going fine," he said out loud.
"Cool. Well, tell the boys I said hi. I'll be in my room,"
He watched her walk away as his eyes roamed down to her ass once again.
"Fuck..." he whispered, biting his bottom lip lightly and shaking his head, feeling his arousal rising.
Of all the times for this to happen? He should have pinned her down on the couch when they were watching the movie. There was no way he was going to be able to focus on the game with her looking like that. Her clothing is so simple, but getting a nice view of everything and literally easy access to just...
"Focus," he said to himself as the game started and he unmuted his mic. "Jennie says hi,"
The boys happily acknowledged that, as Jungkook remained distracted, wondering if he could control himself or act on his arousal. Their time being alone in the dorm was coming to an end. Someone was bound to get back soon.
As some time went past and a few more rounds occurred, Jungkook saw Jennie walking back to the kitchen, listening to music on shuffle as she danced around, unaware he was watching.
Booty going up, down
I ain't got no problem spending all of my money
She must be trying to kill him.
She has done this in the past, dancing around. He was used to it and would join her or watch in amusement, but the outfit she wore was making it extremely hard to continue gaming with how everything was moving so nicely.
As soon as she went back into her room with her music to continue dancing around, he had had enough.
"I have to go," Jungkook abruptly exited the new game, causing a chorus of complaints and confusion from the guys, having one man down.
He immediately turned off the console and TV, placed his headset and controller down, and got up from his seat, walking right after her. He let his free will take over. She was his. And his only.
Shutting her door quietly and hearing the click confirming he officially locked it, he watched her as her back was facing him.
Determined, he closed the distance between them, swiftly, grabbing her wrist, turning her around as a startled gasp escaped her.
"K-"
Before she could even speak, he was all over her, claiming her lips desperately as she stumbled back. He pulled her against him, feeling her soft breasts press against his chest, smooching her repeatedly while she gently tried to push him back.
"Hey, wait-"
He pulled her back in again, and she squealed against his mouth, jumping slightly as she felt his hands roam down and squeeze her ass.
Jennie was surprised at his actions as she kissed him back, unable to resist. Jungkook seemed to have been just fine, gaming with his friends. Now, all of a sudden, he's kissing her and having his hands all over her?
"You know we got school bright in the morning, right? And someone is bound to be home soon. We can't do this, now," she laughed nervously, weakly attempting to push him away.
As soon as he gave her that look. That prolonged gaze filled with desire, she knew she was done for. She soon found herself turned around and pushed up against her desk as he began grinding against her. Feeling him poking against her, she began to squirm as he held her with an arm around her waist while his other hand cupped her breast.
"You really want me to stop? Wearing this...wearing nothing underneath...You're doing this on purpose," he claimed, squeezing her breast as her breath hitched.
All of this because of this dress? He was acting like he was starved with the way he moved against her and touched her.
"Look at me," he commanded gently, placing a hand on her chin to make her look at him.
He pressed his lips against hers tenderly and began grinding against her again, making her whimper against his mouth.
"You don't get to walk away from me after all you've done. Not looking like that," he murmured against her dark skin as he kissed around her neck, smelling the vanilla lotion she applied earlier.
She felt his warm breath against her ear as he told her, "I want to try something new with you,"
---------
Vienna lounged on her bed, laughing to herself, assuming her plan was going well.
"What are you laughing about?" Alani asked as she sat on her own bed with her phone.
"Oh, nothing~! Just doing a little experiment for Jen,"
"Oh Lord…what have you done?" Alani cringed.
"I told her to wear the moomoo,"
Instantly, Alani froze and looked at her incredulously. "Vienna, you didn't…"
"Listen, I'm sure she's having a grand ol' time, right about now. Our little sister deserves a little alone time with her man."
------
She sure was, as tears of ecstasy ran down her face while Jungkook thrusted into her relentlessly, making her feel things she had never felt before in this new position. The dress was hiked up, and her poor bonnet was lying on the floor somewhere as their bodies glistened with sweat. All she could hear was the sounds of skin slapping, his panting, and soft grunts, along with her cries as she was completely at his mercy while overstimulated from her first climax.
Still against the desk with him pressed up against her, he continued to caress her, appreciating every curve, occasionally uttering about how pretty she looked like this.
"I know..." he murmured against her ear as she cussed and sobbed out his name.
On a strict time limit, this was going to be a quick one, with her already close to the edge again as she arched her back. The worries of her being too loud and possibly someone coming home soon went away as she was overwhelmed with the pleasure he gave her.
She whined when he pulled out abruptly. He then made her lie on her back in her bed as her chest heaved up and down, catching her breath. Jungkook stripped himself bare, removing his sweatpants and boxers. The sight caused her face to flush as he locked eyes with her. As soon as she tried to move back, she saw him shake his head.
"I'm not done yet," he said as he grabbed one of her ankles and yanked her toward the edge of the bed, making her squeal. Grabbing the end of the pink dress, he pulled it over her head, tossing it on the floor.
He was rougher than usual with her. They've been intimate quite a few times now, but this right here was way different than their previous private moments together. And it was something they both were enjoying as they explored each other.
After crawling on top of her, he lined himself up against her entrance and slowly slid in again as his kiss drowned out her needy moans. Wanting to switch positions, Jungkook grabbed her thick legs and pushed her thighs against her chest. Using his strong arms as support while he leaned in close to her face, she began crying out to him as he proceeded to move. His pace gradually got faster as he studied every single reaction, cry, and whimper to remember exactly what made her tick.
It wasn't long until they both hit their sweet release as a satisfied smirk came across his lips. If he could, he would have taken his time with her and kissed every inch of her body. But for times like these, doing something quickly wasn't too bad.
After removing the condom, he helped them both get under the covers, and he pulled her close, both catching their breaths.
"See? We're still home, alone. It worked out," he said, feeling victorious in achieving his goal before someone arrived.
"Mm...one of these days we're gonna get caught," she guaranteed as he kissed the side of her head.
"I know, but not today," he grinned as she let out a breathless laugh. "Sorry if I went a little overboard. Was that okay? Are you okay?"
"No, that was amazing. I'm fine. I should wear a moo moo around you more often,"
"Mm-mm," he shook his head. "Don't wear those here. Wear them only if we're alone. Like if we go on a trip together and stay at a hotel. I don't want anyone else to see you in it. Especially if you don't have anything underneath. I want it to be for my eyes only."
"The dress is the issue? Really?"
"After what I just did to you, yeah," he admitted sheepishly, making her laugh.
She liked the way he was rougher with her and how he had her from behind. Maybe one day she'll push his buttons a little bit to have this happen again.
After putting back on his clothes and helping her get cleaned up, he gave her a cold glass of water from the kitchen.
"Thank you," she sat up, placing the blanket over her chest and downed some water, savoring the coolness. "We need to air out my room. It reeks of sex, we gotta get rid of all evidence,"
"One step ahead of you," he said as he opened up her windows and grabbed some of her air freshener to spray around.
"I'll wash the sheets," she offered.
"Nah, stay in bed. I got this," he reassured and leaned over the bed to kiss her forehead.
"Thank you, babe," she beamed and watched as he cleaned up.
After a while, she called out his name, making him turn. "Thank you for always making me feel so good about myself. I always feel so special being with you," she told him.
"I should be the one thanking you for having me be so lucky to make you feel the way that you feel. You're amazing. And the fact that I get to be the one to have you like this is something I'll never take for granted. I can't wait to do it again."
---------
"You look happy," Vienna laughed as Jennie answered her FaceTime call with a bright smile the next day after she came home from school. "Sooooo how'd it go?"
Seated at her desk in her room, Jennie immediately felt flushed as she got flashbacks of her intimate night with Jungkook. It felt like she got the sonic coins knocked out of her, and she was in a pretty happy mood. She was just sore and began to like the idea of having quickies from time to time.
"You plotted this, didn't you?" Jen put it all together.
"I did it to Alani and had to do it for you, too," her sister laughed.
"I was not expecting to get my back blown out like that. I'm sore. Fuck...I did not think my body could bend like that. What have you done!?"
"You're welcome!"
"No, for real, it's like something in him snapped. Like, I thought we were finished, and he pulled me back and told me he wasn't done. And then I'm getting flipped and bent all sorts of ways. Positions I haven't even thought of trying just yet. A moomoo drives men that crazy?"
"Hehe, it's not always about lingerie,"
"You always like to play cupid but never want to be in another relationship,"
"You know why," Vienna frowned. "No more dating for me. I also decided to be abstinent until further notice. At least my sisters are happy with their lovers,"
"And that's fine. But I think one day someone will change that perspective of you not wanting to date anymore and treat you like you deserve. I hope one day you will open up your heart again. You deserve to be happy with someone, too."
"I guess," Vienna shrugged.
Suddenly, Taehyung knocked on Jen's door, which was open, and walked in.
"Hi, Ennie! What are you doing?"
"Hey, Tae! I'm on the phone with my sister, Vienna."
His eyes lit up, and he cheerfully went over to the phone, instantly. "Hi, Vienna!" he spoke in English.
Vienna's eyes brightened as she smiled and waved. "Hi, Taehyung! Long time, no see! Oh! I watched that anime you recommended! My Hero Academia,"
"What did you think?"
"It's great! I'm still on season 1, but I like it! I wonder what my quirk might be,"
"Your quirk is Vienna. Vibrant and kind. Your quirk makes people smile, just like you make me," he confidently said.
The sudden response caused her face to warm up as she let out a chuckle, feeling touched by the kind words. "You're too sweet, thank you, Tae,"
Jennie glanced at her phone. Vienna was cheesing after what he told her. She then glanced over at Taehyung to see him smiling even brighter than usual. And the fact that he said this all in English? It felt like he had been practicing a lot to be able to say that to her, so she could understand him.
"Oh, I gotta go. My yoga class is coming up. Have a great day, you two!" Vienna waved.
After saying their goodbyes, Jennie ended the call.
"Smiling kinda hard, are you?" she teased him.
"I am?" he asked, bright smile never leaving his face. "I'm just looking forward to talking to her again about the anime,"
"The anime. Riiiight," Jen giggled, interested to see where this was going to go and chose not to get involved.
As time went on, the members would occasionally do V-Lives, and throughout every single one, the absence of Jennie was evident as comments brought her up. The members never asked her to join a live, respecting her decision to take a step back. Each live, the members announced it and happily informed ARMY that she was happy and doing well.
"How is Jennie?" Jimin read a comment as he took out a lollipop from his mouth and grinned. "Ennie is doing great! She's taking a long social media break, so she won't be doing any lives anytime soon. But when she is ready to come back, she'll surprise you, ARMY. When you see her in public for our group activities, give her lots of love and support, yeah?"
'Jennie looks sad,' some comments like this would float around social media, but they would immediately be debunked when they see mutual friends of hers posting her, with permission, to show that she was doing just fine.
'I saw Jennie in public buying ingredients to bake. Looks like someone is getting a cake. Maybe the boys?' a fan tweeted and took some photos of her from afar as she looked at peace and unbothered.
Then it was business as usual with Big Hit dropping the video of just Jennie, which excited ARMY. There was a faded location on the WINGS USA tour announcement photo, and today was the day that it was revealed.
In the video, Jennie cleared her throat and knocked on the camera a few times. Her hair was in a cute bun and she wore an Eagles jersey.
"This thing on?" She beamed and took a step back to wave. "ARMY! It's your girl, Miss Bangtan, and I have so exciting news! BTS is FINALLY coming to Philly for one night only at the Wells Fargo Center! I am incredibly honored to perform in my hometown with my boys! We got some special things planned. An hour before the official show, there is an intimate showing of me showcasing some things I've been working on, and I have some special guests I'm bringing along too!"
As she excitedly closed the video to thank fans for the support and Big Hit for making this happen, she told attendees for the Philly show to bring it and show how they get down in Philadelphia.
And then Big Hit posted the video reaction of BTS in a meeting, and how the staff announced that the hidden date is indeed in her hometown. The scream of delight from Jennie and the immediate jumping up and down with excitement before shedding tears of joy and getting embraced by all of Bangtan went viral.
Fans tweeted:
'Jennie crumbs! We're getting Jennie content!'
'You can tell she was holding back tears filming the announcement video. She's so happy!'
'It's really special cause of how long she's been asking to perform in Philly. Now she gets her wish,'
'How can you hate on someone this precious? Someone this genuine in wanting to perform for us in her hometown?'
'This is so wholesome #BTSWingsPhilly'
And the big thing was? All tickets sold out for Philly once they went on sale, which made her cry once again. Despite everything, true fans sold out the show she anticipated the most for the WINGS tour, and she couldn't wait to show them what she was made of.

Today was the day Taehyung was going to assist Jennie in her audition for a role in Black Panther. When she told him the big news, he jumped for joy, thrilled that she was going to take that step into acting. He had high hopes that she would nail the role despite her expressing apprehension.
"You need the script?" he asked.
"Nope. Got it memorized," she reassured and let out a sigh.
This character...she had a chip on her shoulder. She was upset she didn't get the leader position for the Dora Milaje and ended up leaving Wakanda, wanting to venture out on her own. And she chose to stay back in America. And for the Black Panther, T'challa reached out to her to assist him, Okoye, and Nakia in South Korea.
"Arjana, don't start," Taehyung sighed, acting as Shuri.
Jennie let out a scoff and shook her head, clearly upset. "No, I am gonna start! Are you kidding me? You want me to babysit some white boy?"
"The white wolf needs to be watched,"
"So you want me to help the person who killed T'Chaka? You know the discrimination I faced because I'm a halfbreed, and yet T'Chaka, bless his soul, welcomed me with open arms? And now he's gone,"
"I miss my father. And I know how much my father has meant to you. But you owe me, and you agreed to be my support in Wakanda now that you are back. We need to learn to forgive. The white wolf was brainwashed."
"I..." she let out a frustrated sigh and crossed her arms. "For you...fine. How long am I suffering for?"
"I'm working on undoing his brainwashing. I need you to watch him from time to time. Help him in this peaceful environment. Be kind to him,"
Jennie rolled her eyes. "Fiiiine,"
After going over that scene a few times, they went on to work on a small scene for the South Korea set.
As much as Jennie hated to do this, she had to channel her old leader, Hailey, because some of the lines reminded me of her cockiness and how she acted above everyone. For some reason, it helped with the acting.
Getting started, Jennie looked up at Taehyung with a smirk. "Well, well, well. Looks like little miss leader needs my help,"
Taehyung, playing at Okoye, who had a rivalry with Arjana, spoke in annoyance. "Respect clearly has not been present in a long time. We can handle this without you."
"Yet you called me," she responded, acting like a smart ass.
"Our prince called you. I refused."
"Huh. Looks like a you problem, cause I'm here, now," she grinned, raising her eyebrows to taunt her.
Taehyung took a step forward and stopped as the script said that T'Challa had stopped Okoye, while Jennie raised her hands in defense.
"Hit a nerve?" Jen asked, amused.
Taehyung spoke T'Challa's lines, "Ladies. We are here for a purpose. Not to fight. We must work together."
She smirked. "Yes, my prince,"
After practicing that scene a few times, Jennie did some walk cycles in character, remembering her MAMA Awards performance.
"I think you're good to go, Ennie. You nailed it," Taehyung praised after a few hours of practicing.
Miss Bangtan let out a sigh of relief, feeling more confident after working with him. "Thanks, Tae! I feel more than ready, now."
Making a quick stop in America, Jen went on to the audition. And of course, it leaked to many news sites that she was asked to audition for the movie, which sparked debate. Although the media had no idea what role she auditioned for, people brought up how the director and casting director noticed her from her viral performance. Of course, reactions were mixed. Some thought she didn't deserve the chance since she was not an actor, some were proud of the accomplishment, and some were supportive that BTS is venturing out to do more things besides singing and dancing.
At the audition, there were so many hopeful actors. People with way more experience than her, as she tried her best to remember her lines. It was Marvel. The competition was extremely competitive. Once it was her turn, she was filmed as she said her name and began the two scenes, and then was filmed walking in character. Surprisingly, she was asked for a callback, which was a really good sign.
After a while, she was back for a chemistry test. Her eyes sparkled when she walked into the room and saw Chadwick Boseman in a bright mood, patiently waiting for the next actress to arrive to do a chemistry screening. Once he turned to see who walked in, he smiled.
"Hello, I'm Chadwick. I'm playing T'Challa in Black Panther," he said in a friendly tone, extending his hand for her to shake it.
"Hi! It's a pleasure to meet you! I'm Jennie. I'm auditioning for Arjana," she shook his hand, grinning happily.
"I'm looking forward to working with you. How are you feeling?"
"A little nervous, but I'm ready,"
He was so sweet and made her feel at ease as they did some small talk and enthused about the movie. She thought casting picked the perfect person to play Black Panther. His aura brought joy, and he handled everything with grace. She couldn't wait to see what he does on the big screen of this movie.
She told him, "Thank you for having me. You know, whether I get the role or not, I'm excited for this movie. I'm excited to see the representation of strong black women. They're strong because of their strength, and they will look beautiful while kicking ass on the big screen."
The screen test went very well, speaking the lines with ease, like she was actually in the movie. Her main focus was Chadwick, and she blocked out everyone else. After that, she was told to go into another room.
'Holy fuck...' Jennie almost stumbled once she saw Sebastian Stan chatting it up with a staff member, waiting for the next person for his chemistry test.
What the fuck? HE was here too!?
'Keep it professional and fangirl later,' she thought as she pulled herself together.
She kept her head up high and walked confidently into the room with a bright smile, speaking to everyone and turning to Sebastian, who happily greeted her and was excited to work with her. If she gets this role, this is who she'd be working with frequently for some Marvel projects. Her character was a future love interest for his character, Bucky. And it was going to take a few movies and possibly other projects before Marvel thinks about letting anything like kissing happen. Also, she'll be older by then. If she did get the role, she anticipated a debate among fans of Marvel and K-pop regarding the age difference between her and Sebastian. Maybe it would be her age that'll prevent her from getting the role. Maybe they wanted someone older to play this role instead of her.
The negative thoughts began to cloud her mind and distract her, before Sebastian kindly told her to take a deep breath and to have fun while saying the lines. The one specific line the casting director wanted to hear was "I don't like you," and it was a line she worked extremely hard with Taehyung to nail.
"Action!"
Jennie looked up and glared at him, speaking in annoyance, like she didn't want anything to do with him. "Let's get straight to the point. One. I'm only doing this because of Shuri. Two. I don't like you. And three. To make this as painless as possible, don't get in my way or piss me off. Clear?"
"Crystal, doll," he replied with a nod.
Doll?? That wasn't in the script.
She ended up glaring at him again, and outside the script, she found herself calling him out in character. "What did you say to me?"
Sebastian broke out into an amused smile and corrected himself. "Crystal,"
"That's what I thought. Let's go," she bumped into his shoulder as she walked past him.
After that, the scene ended, and she was good to go as Sebastian praised her efforts and liked what she had done.
Now was the waiting game to see if all her efforts were enough to nail the role.
---------
Jen made it back to South Korea and chose to go straight to Taehyung's Hwarang press conference to support him with flowers in her hands. She just wanted to make a quick entrance, covered in black sunglasses and a hoodie. With the help of one of Bangtan's staff members, she quickly headed towards the stage.
As soon as the media began to notice her arrival, flashes and a chorus of surprise and excitement came through the room as Taehyung's eyes lit up, noticing her immediately.
"Ennie!" he grinned and waved.
Quickly, she smiled and bowed to everyone before handing him flowers.
"Hey! Congrats! I'm so proud of you! I'll see you at home, bye!" she giggled and ran out as the staff escorted her, making some of the media and cast laugh at the abruptness.
Her entrance was bound to be put in the articles being worked on at the conference, with some netizens claiming that she shouldn't have interrupted Taehyung's moment and others thinking the gesture was cute. But overall, Taehyung was delighted that she came. He knew she was returning to Korea the day of his conference, and the fact that she made an effort to support him straight after arriving back was precious. When he made it back to the dorm, he made sure to let her know how much he appreciated it.
As time went past, Jen was back at the Smartie Factory, on a FaceTime call with Diana.
"Any news?" Jennie bit her lip slightly out of nervousness.
Diana shook her head. "They're still working on evaluations."
"Ugh, I should have said my lines differently."
"It's going to be fine,"
"I went off script, too."
"You need to relax,"
"I just...I just wish I did things differently,"
"The audition is done and over with now. Take a deep breath and let it go. Let's just wait and see,"
She let out a breath. "Okay. Okay. You're right."
She should stop freaking out and let nature take its course. If it was for her, then it was for her. If it wasn't, then hopefully another opportunity will be.
After getting off the phone, she chose to work more on music for the upcoming Philly show of the WINGS tour until she received a FaceTime call from Layla.
"Hey!" Jennie waved.
"Hiii! How are you?!" Layla beamed.
"Busy as heck, but I'm getting by,"
"Oh, I bet. You look happy. I'm glad you're drowning out all the noise from the media."
"Best decision ever. So, whatcha need?"
"Did I make it obvious?"
"A little because of how nervous you look," Miss Bangtan giggled.
"Okay, you got me. All right, I know it might be a bit over the top to ask, but the worst you can say is no. Um…so I have a song that I'm workin' on for my new album. I really would love for you to be a part of it, if you feel comfortable. I-I'll pay whatever you want for the feature. Just let me know. This song is nice, and I feel like you'd fit it well," she nervously requested.
"Layla, relax. It's cool. Send it. I'll listen to it."
"Really? Thank you. I just sent it. Let me know what you think."
After she sent the song, Jennie took the time to hear it, enjoying Layla's vocals and the lyrics. Nodding in approval, she decided to accept it.
"Are you sure? You're cool with it?"
"Hell yeah, let's make a banger. For old time's sake," Jen beamed.
"Thank you. We'll have fun! How much do you want?"
After she told her the rates, Miss Bangtan requested, "Just do me a favor and donate half of it to some of these organizations I've been supporting."
"You got it," Layla wrote the information down after she let her know. "Let's think of a date to start our sessions to work on this."
"Yeah. Here's my schedule for the rest of the year and going into 2017," Jen went on to email her information.
"Oh yeah, tour season for Wings! I gotta make it to one of your shows,"
"Speaking of shows, would you like to join me for the Philly show? I'm showcasing some solo stuff and maybe we could preview the song we're collaborating on there, too?"
"Oh, I'd love to do that! I'll let my team know,"
"Good. Big Hit wants BTS to kind of break more into the US market, soon. I'm excited but cautious about what that'll entail."
"Hey, just remember, the more famous you get...there will be clout chasers. Not everyone is your friend. Don't make the mistake I did. And don't let fame change you, okay? Promise me that. Stay to yourself. Keep that circle small. There are many snakes in this industry...I hate it so much. It consumed a handful of friends of mine. You saw what became of Amity. Just be careful and protect Bangtan's peace as well. Be their anchor that I wish that I could have been for my old friends."
Jennie nodded, understanding the depth of her words. "I will."
------
"UGHHHHHHH!" Jennie exclaimed as she angrily tossed the broken hair tie in the trash in her bathroom.
"Uh, you all right?" Jungkook peeped his head into her bathroom as she angrily put her hair in a bun with a new hair tie.
"No!" she snapped before wincing in pain from the sharp cramp that abruptly hit her. "God...I cannot wait for this shit to end."
"You're on?"
"No, I'm just yelling for no reason, what does it look like? You literally see me fighting for my life here and you wanna ask me if I'm on my period? Go away!" She rolled her eyes, annoyed with his questions.
"Yeah, that's my answer," Jungkook chuckled, used to the mood swings. "You need more hair ties?"
She let out a sigh. "Yeah, can you pick some up? I would, but I need to lie down, I don't feel so good. I'ma have the heating pad on me for a bit."
"Relax. I'll get it."
"Oh, and pads with wings," she added as she walked to her bed.
"Got it," he nodded, like it was the simplest request.
About an hour later, Jennie stared at Jungkook, dumbfounded, in the kitchen. She glanced from him to the two items on the counter.
"Korean fried chicken wings?" she asked in surprise.
"Yeah, you said pads with wings. This was it, right? These are the wings you usually like," he responded innocently with his doe eyes meeting her confused ones, hoping she was happy with what he purchased.
Suddenly, she began laughing. "I said pads with wings,"
"Yeah, these are the pads and these are the wings you wanted," he pointed them out.
"Pads with wings,"
"That's what I got for you. What's wrong?" he looked confused as he checked the items.
Those period cramps subsided as she proceeded to giggle at how he misinterpreted her request. It was cute, and she appreciated the gesture.
"Babe, I meant pads with wings. The wings are connected to the pads. Not wings as in food,"
He furrowed his eyebrows. "Wait, what? There are pads with wings? That's a thing?"
Shaking her head in amusement, she kissed his cheek.
"Yes! Anyway, thank you, I'll enjoy these,"
-----
Author's Note at the end: I hope you enjoyed this and it was worth the long wait. I'm going to begin working on the next chapters after a little bit. I really missed this and am glad I finally got my groove back.
The song Layla and Jennie will collab on is Want Me by Chloe and Halle. I loveee that song. It'll be like an interlude song with Jen doing Chloe's lines while Layla handles Halle's. I also have fun ideas for the WINGS Philly show! Stay tuned!
Okay! Bangtan Gal chapter is done! Tomorrow I'm gonna go over edits one more time to make sure it looks OK and then I'll post it afterwards. Have an awesome night!
It will be 13,000+ words. I hope you enjoy it tomorrow.
