Request: Can it write a scenario with Jenn and JB just talking and comforting each other about something that bothers them or is stressful to them?
Summary: Jenn shares her worries with Jaebum.
Jenn had some free time, while all the other members were out doing their own thing. She rang Jaebum up on the phone and asked if it was okay if she could come and visit him in the studio. Sometimes he would deny her to focus on things, but this time, he gladly agreed to it.
Jenn quickly got dressed and looked around for her bag with all her lyrics and song ideas in it. Jaebum and her would spend hours together in the studio, either helping each other write or produce a song. Jenn has no producing skills whatsoever but the boys always helped her on that part.
She spotted the bag and was on her way to Jaebum’s studio. She walked all the way to protect his privacy, but it was always fine with her.
Once she got there, she texted him to let him know she had arrived and waited for him to open the door. Jaebum quickly came to open the door and greet her with a warm hug. She followed him to the room where all the magic happened. She took a seat and set her bag down near her foot and tried to focus on the monitor where it looked like he was producing a new song.
“Is this a new song?” Jenn asked.
“Yes ma’am”
“Am I allowed to hear a snippet?”
He looked down at her before taking a seat in his chair and getting ready to play her the audio. “Of course” He smiled warmly.
Jenn heard the first few seconds and started bopping her head and smiling to herself. When Jaebum’s vocals came in she was absolutely struck. She frowned a bit when he hit pause.
“How do you do it?” Jenn questioned.
“Huh?”
“Produce? Write so well? You’re so talented”
“Stop making me blush” Jaebum joked.
“Take the compliment”
“Thank you, Jenn.” She smiled and nodded her head.
She reached for her bag and pulled out the cluster of papers with lyrics she had written, reading them over well. Jaebum was in his own world, looking at his projects and reviewing them. That’s when he looked back at Jenn, to see her with papers in her hands, curled up in her chair, with that distinctive look on her face. Where her eyebrows furrowed and she looked so frustrated.
“What’s wrong?” Jaebum asked.
Jenn looked up at him to see him looking back at her with a concerned look on his face.
“What?”
“That look. You always look like that when something is wrong. Is something stressing you out?”
Jenn looked down. Not just something was on her mind, many things. She sighed and Jaebum swung around in his chair and was facing her.
“Go ahead”
“Don’t you guys think it’s weird? Having a female in your grou-” Jaebum cut her off.
“Absolutely not. You’re our member no matter what.”
“You guys get questioned every time we’re interviewed or we go on a show. It doesn’t bother you?” Jenn fiddled with her fingers, trying to make eye contact with him every other second.
“Sure, it gets old, but they’ll just have to deal with it if it’s a problem.”
Jenn felt like she was going to burst at this point. She keeps everything bottled inside, and when it’s time to erupt, she cannot stop herself.
“My music. My lyrics don’t ever seem good enough. I want to make my own individual music for everyone.”
“Your lyrics are good enough. And I’ll help you. You have more than enough potential to be an amazing soloist.” Jaebum reassured her.
“And Mark?” Jenn was about to bring up her relationship to him.
“What about him?”
“I don’t want to hurt the group or our fans with my relationship”
“Jenn... you’re not hurting anybody by being in love with someone. Where is all this coming from?”
She looked down at her feet. Silence filled the room. She’d have breakdowns like this often, but Youngjae was the only person to witness them. Jenn looked up at him, making eye contact with him and tilting her head.
“What about you Jaebum?” His eyes widened and he looked confused. “What’s been bothering you?”
“uhh.. my music, you know, leader duties.”
“You do know that you’re an amazing leader, right?” She asked him
“You think s-”
“I know so. You’re why this group hasn’t spiraled out of control”
Jaebum smiled warmly. It’s good to know that the person who inspires you thinks so highly of you.
