Writing and things are going well. I'm on vacation so I have much more free time to finally be able to unwind and write like I want. It's been a very productive few days so I'm super happy to be back in my element after a long while. I'm gonna answer the asks and write the requests after I update my stories.
Wrestling chapters are just about done. Bangtan Gal is going well but not done yet. Trying to work on having a nice handful of chapters done to make up for the long wait. Once everything is done I'll update both stories at the same time. I'll give a date of when I'll update when I'm officially done everything and all I'd have to do is reread and edit. Right now, I still can't give a time frame just yet but I hope to not make the wait this long ever again. Cause oof this was bad. Sheesh time flew.
But for Bangtan Gal here's a smol preview of what's to come:
Just a warning for the first scene as it talks about fan hate and death threats. Again when I do post these chapters, I apologize in advance for all the harmful and hurtful words for the chapter. Also all of these are works in progress and subject to change.

Strolling around the dorm, taking a break from working on music, Yoongi 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.
Gently opening up 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 as she was bundled up, 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. 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 of a choice as it was…taking a break from fan meetings was also the best decision.
"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,"
"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 over Jungkook and me. Ugh, it's exhausting. It's even worse at school. The teachers are even worse 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 wasn't black? They act like interracial relationships are something scary. It shouldn't even be a big deal. It's been a bit rough seeing the death threats. 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 idol friend circle is going to become smaller and smaller. I don't fuck with Amber no more. She completely took Hyuna's side. 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. 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 chaser and fakeassness. Over my dead body. It is on fucking sight once we break into the American music industry."

"Oh…you auditioning for Arjana from Black Panther?" Hana asked Jennie behind the counter.
Jennie smiled under her mask. "Yeah, I am. I'm nervous but Hayoon recommended that you're the best person to help,"
"My girlfriend knows best," she beamed. "It's nice to meet you, Jennie. 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 because 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,"
"Wait, don't pick that comic up,"
"Why not?"
Hana walked around the counter and grabbed a few 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 personally like the enemies to lovers trope. I'm interested to see how Bucky and Arjana will look on the big screen. Keep me updated on your progress,"
------
"Korean fried chicken wings?" Jennie stared at Jungkook dumbfounded as she glanced from him to the two items in his hands.
"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 look, hoping she was happy with what he purchased.
Suddenly she began laughing. "I said pads with wings,"
"Yeah, this is the pads and these are the wings you wanted," Jungkook set them down on her table.
"Jungkook, 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. She appreciated the gesture.
"Babe, I meant pads with wings. The wings are connected with 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 approached him and kissed his cheek.
"Yes! Haha, anyway, thank you, I'll enjoy these,"
-----
Feeling protected with Jungkook standing behind her as his competitiveness radiated off him, Jennie leaned back against him with her arms crossed. The two watched the first 2 V 2 volleyball match at ISAC 2017, pointing out their competition.
Suddenly their two opponents approached them and the girl glanced up and down at them in disgust. "Ugh. You two still together? Yikes,"
Unphased, Jennie smirked and let out a chuckle. "Womp Womp. So, you wanna forfeit now or later?"
She rolled her eyes. "As if I'm losing to you again,"
"Hey, I'm just trying to save yourself from the embarrassment. Don't say I didn't warn you," she shrugged, feeling Jungkook wrap an arm around her shoulder as she wrapped an arm around his waist. "Good luck out there, you're going to need it for talking all that shit earlier,"
-----
"Oh, it's stuck. Should I just eat it all?" Jennie murmured as she tried to move the extra perilla leaf that was in between her chopsticks.
"I got it," DK began to move his chopsticks near hers.
"What the hell are you doing?" Jungkook's chopsticks intercepted his, catching him by surprise.
"What? Her leaf got stuck,"
"Yeah, I didn't want to be greedy. What's wrong?" Jennie looked at him in confusion.
------
"Okay, 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 really nice and I feel like you'd fit it well," Layla nervously requested.
Jennie chuckled. "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 listen to it, enjoying Layla's vocals. Nodding in approval, she decided to accept it.
"Are you sure? You're really cool with it?"
"Hell yeah, let's make a banger. For old time's sake,"
"Thank you. We'll have fun. How much do you want?"
After Jennie 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.
----
“Increase your speed. And put more emotion. Where is that intensity? You sound weak, no one will believe your verse with that energy.”
“Rap faster? Wasn’t that fast enough?” Jen sighed and took off her headphones, turning her chair to Yoongi.
“No. And your lack of energy is ruining the flow. Don’t do that.” he sternly replied.
Shaking her head, she responded, “I can’t…I can’t keep up with all that you’re telling me to do.”
“Yes, you can.”
“Yoongi, that’s the best I can do. I need to breathe and-“
“Well, continue practicing so your breathing technique can increase. Come back to me when you learned to rap faster and we’ll move on. And do me a favor and stop saying you can’t do it. I did not give you a couple years of my time to teach you about rapping for you to tell me to my face that you can’t do it. I hate when you say that shit. Why can’t you see your potential like I can? You can rap faster, stop with the excuses. That’s enough for today.” he dismissed her and placed his headphones on his ears to work on his music.
She rolled her eyes, irritated with the rapper. He didn’t have to be so blunt like that. She couldn’t rap faster than that, why couldn’t he just let it go?
As days went by, practicing didn’t help that much and she decided to ask Hobi and Namjoon for help.
“Sorry, munchkin but Yoongi told us not to help you.”
“Are you fucking serious…?” she narrowed her eyes at them, making Hobi gulp and take a step back while Namjoon widened his eyes at her sudden mood change. “You know what? It’s cool.” She walked away.
She then thought of Jungkook, since he usually rapped a lot when they first debuted and went up to him.
“Babe, can you please help me?” she asked.
But then Jungkook remembered Yoongi telling him, “Look, I know that you two are dating and all but do not help her with the rapping. I want her to practice on her own. Do not help her, got it? If you do, I’m destroying all your Iron Man stuff.” He threatened.
Jungkook had shivered at the thought and smiled nervously at her,
“Ah…sorry babe, Hyung told me not to help you.” he rubbed the back of his neck.
Jennie chuckled, unamused, and shook her head. She was going to kill Yoongi for this. What part of her needing help doesn’t he understand?
He really put all the members on lockdown.
It took a little over a few weeks for her to get up to the speed that he wanted. As she worked, Yoongi never asked how she was progressing. He just waited. He was patient. He didn’t look annoyed that she was taking a while to get it and after getting over that stubbornness, she was grateful for his bluntness and patience.
Unaware, Yoongi would sometimes listen to her progress, smirking softly at her improvement.
“You’re almost there, smartie…keep practicing,” he mumbled to himself.
Everything is a work in progress and not the final product. This one is for the Police Episode of RUN. Episode 12.
"I think you know why you were arrested. Tell the truth," Jungkook responded in a serious tone as he sat across from Jennie who looked nonchalant.
"I dunno you tell me what I'm wrongly arrested for," she replied, looking at her nails.
"First offense. You purchased way too many Smarties,"
"Hm, okay," she chuckled to herself as she continued to look at her nails.
"Second offense, you stole the hearts of ARMY with your charisma,"
"Hmmm,"
"Third offense—look at me,"
Surprised at how his voice switched, she looked directly into his eyes. Did he lower his range on purpose? He began speaking in his Busan Satoori accent.
"Third offense..." he started as his eyes began to wander to her left eye, then right eye, before moving towards her lips.
'Oh hell nah, what is he doing?! We're filming!' Jen panicked a little in her head as she felt herself getting flustered.
Not only did he look good in the uniform but he was trying to tease her while they filmed. She was going to plot her revenge after filming was over.
His eyes met hers again as he continued, "Dying your hair red, shaking up the internet. Quite the record you got here. The evidence is all here. Including your receipts from where you have purchased smarties since you set foot here in Seoul," he laid out the photos to show the evidence. "So, Miss Walker...do you think you have been a good girl these past few years?"
Jennie widened her eyes at his sudden question and looked away, covering her mouth.
Jungkook smirked, proud of the reaction she made. "I asked you a question, Miss Walker,"
"Bruh..." she laughed nervously.
This was definitely not part of the script.
After a few moments, she managed to answer, "Of course, I have,"
"Based on all this evidence it doesn't seem like it. You're toying with me, right now. Do you think this is a joke?"
"Jungk—"
"Officer," he corrected.
She stared at him, playfully narrowing her eyes as he smirked out of amusement. He was enjoying this a lot.
"Officer," she corrected herself.
Fine. Two can play at that game as the two forgot they were filming. The two ended up flirting back and forth, coming up with witty comebacks while maintaining strong eye contact.
"Stand up," he requested as he got out of his seat and approached her.
"Make me," she challenged.
Before he could get a chance to grab her so she could stand up, she evaded his advances and quickly got out of her seat.
"Too slow," she laughed.
Things ended up with him chasing her around and before she knew it, he caught her in his arms as she continued to laugh.
"Stay still," he demanded as he put her arms behind her back, placing handcuffs on her.
"Okay, okay," she chuckled.
"You look like you're enjoying this," he said near her ear.
"What if I am, officer?"
"You two are disgusting," Yoongi called out while cringing and rolling his eyes as the staff laughed. "Are you two serious? This cannot be in the final cut, we need to refilm this entire thing,"
Author's Note: Literally a smol preview of the beginning of the MAMA Awards 2016 chapter. Always brainstorming and switching it up so the final product may vary.
I have been thinking a lot of this idea that I have for the MAMA Awards chapter and I'm excited to write about it and see it come to life.
Like I addressed before after MAMA Awards 2016 in the story, this should be the last time I write about Hyuna. This idea came up recently and I rolled with it. I also find myself getting this chapter done faster than anticipated so I am aiming to try to get it out in June and not later than that along with the 3rd Muster chapter. Hopefully not late June.
-----------
'BREAKING! MAMA 2016 Collaboration with Cube's Hyuna and Big Hit's Jennie scrapped!'
Jennie frowned at the article as she sat by her desk in the Smartie Factory. It was crazy how things abruptly changed. Lately, Jennie and Hyuna weren't on speaking terms and issues have been occurring for a while.
It all started with the sneak dissing that Jennie had found out on her Tumblr. She loved scrolling through the tag of her name and came across a fairly popular post regarding Hyuna attending a few variety shows and interviews.
Statements such as, "Unlike the others, I don't need to repeatedly say I'm the best from head to toe. You already see it," which ARMY thought about Jennie's War of Hormone lyrics.
"Some rookies can be a bit much and try to overshine a veteran,"
"Some girls in this industry are a bit too fragile. I don't need to call myself bulletproof,"
"You mean the original version of How's This,"
Were just a handful of statements and ARMY immediately speculated she was throwing shade at Jennie.
'Uhhhh did Hyuna just sneak diss, Jennie? Am I freaking out over nothing? That bulletproof and glass line was SUS,' one comment said.
ARMY went on to do more research and they immediately figured out that there was some sort of animosity in Hyuna's words and it caused confusion in the fandom.
"The hell...?" Miss Bangtan murmured as she read about it and even saw her and Hyuna trending on Twitter.
Her stomach dropped and she felt hurt by the words. It confused her as to why she would say these things. Deciding to go straight to the source, she messaged Hyuna on KakaoTalk.
Jen: Ummmm what's going on sis? We got a problem or something? If so let's address it now. Call me when you're free
But hours later, still no reply. What officially solidified the fact there was an issue going on was when Jennie facetimed Hayoon about it.
"I'm trying to contact her so we can settle this shit now instead of over the internet. But I haven't gotten a response. I don't know how this happened. I didn't even do anything. I know we haven't talked in a while, but damn,"
And that was when Hayoon informed her what was going on from what she heard. She and other people have been overhearing her talking about how upset she was that she would be sharing the stage with Jennie for How's This. She wanted to perform it alone and on top of that felt bothered by the fact that the duet music video with Jennie started to get way more views than the original video.
"I mean it got more views because ARMY loves to support every member of Bangtan. They were bound to have the views boost," Jennie exclaimed on Facetime while Hayoon nodded. "That's one of the amazing things about them. They watched that video for me and I'm grateful but damn, is it that deep? So, she doesn't want to share the stage with me and is feeling some type of the way that her original music video didn't have that many views? Ma'am, if that was a problem, instead of throwing shots, why not talk to me face to face and express yourself? All this childishness for what?"
"I know. It's ridiculous," Hayoon said with a frown. "I had to distance myself from her. I didn't like the things she was saying. And I even talked to her about it but she blew me off and said she didn't care,"
Jennie sighed and shook her head. "Annoying...thanks for telling me...wow...the switch up is crazy...I just don't understand,"
"Of course. Still no reply?"
Jennie went to check back on the app and scoffed. "Did this bitch block me?!"
"What?! No way!"
"Wowwww. So, it's like that? Okay. I can't even contact her anymore...this is making me start to have trust issues a little bit. Like we were so close and would hang out and talk often and I trusted her with a lot of shit...I hope she doesn't spill anything personal. Because now I'm thinking about my relationship,"
"As much as I dislike her attitude, I don't think she'll spill anything especially when she is dating E'Dawn privately,"
"Yeah...I'm not going to air her dirty laundry and talk about how she got a rookie boyfriend and shit. That's unfair to E'dawn and his future career as an idol,"
"Agreed. No need to get him involved. I believe she won't involve Jungkook as well, so no need to worry,"
Jennie sighed. "When I see her at one of these award shows I'll confront her. This is ridiculous,"
"Some kind of girl's girl she is. So close to award season, too? She should not be trying to paint you as this bad person,"
"Yeah...I just don't know how long it's going to take for the public to understand how grimy she is,"
As the news of her performance with Hyuna wasn't happening anymore, Cube Entertainment and even Mnet made the excuse that they felt like Jennie was not ready to perform with Hyuna and was a bit difficult to work with. Which was a load of bull and lots of fans saw through the BS. However, Big Hit responded in defense to her saying that she was ready, she was very easy to work with and it was their loss on the collaboration.
It warmed her heart to see the company come to her defense and say she would prove doubters wrong on BTS' stage at the MAMA Awards. Hearing the news that the collaboration was scrapped made her feel down since she had been so excited to perform with someone she looked up to for many years. G-Dragon's words still rang through her mind that not everyone is your friend in the industry and the switch ups be crazy.
Now back to reality, Jennie continued to sit by her desk, deep in thought about the situation. All she wanted to do was speak to her like an adult and squash whatever issue she had with her. But with her being blocked, it was clear she wanted nothing to do with Jennie.
It had been days since the first set of disses, along with lyric changes to throw shots at her and the lack of response from Jennie had everyone talking.
People commented:
'Unbothered. I like that,'
'Hyuna cooked you!'
'Everything she said about Jennie was true,'
'Rookie! Hyuna is better than you!'
'So, are you going to respond to HyunA?'
'Damn, still no response?'
'Jennie is known for her impressive stage presence at MAMA. They could have been a powerful duo if egos didn't get in the way. Something ain't right,'
'LOL Hyuna won by default. She is taking forever to respond. Is she scared?'
'Get in the booth, Jennie. Or are you taking the L?'
'So, you just gonna let her talk shit about you like that?'
'Jennie doesn't have to respond to anything.'
'I hate how you guys are instigating this drama.'
'No response is a response, Jennie!'
'Does Miss Bangtan need her bulletproof boy scouts to help her with this one?'
'I bet Jennie is the problem. Because she and Hyuna were great friends and she must have done something wrong...'
'Time to stop hiding behind your boys, woman up and respond to your senior.'
'Respect queen Hyuna!'
'You should be lucky she even asked you to collaborate.'
'ARMY gets on my nerves. They like to spam and stream everything for bragging rights. That music video didn't deserve to get higher views than the OG!'
'Yikes...going after one of the chillest people in the K-Pop industry is not wise because if Jennie responds I bet not hear shit that she was disrespectful when Hyuna started this first. And don't try to say respect your seniors.'
'Y'all are a little too comfortable being rude to Jennie on her page...'
'Hyuna started it and Jen will finish it. Watch!'
'Hyuna is being a bit too bold running her mouth.'
'Of all people when you have Bangtan backing her? And other idols who are close friends with her? I don't understand the logic.'
'Hyuna is untouchable in the industry, no idols will come to her aid,'
'I doubt any idol will defend Jennie from Hyuna. She should handle this herself.'
'Bangtan shouldn't always have to fight her battles. She should handle this by herself,'
'Jennie handles business. She'll respond,'
Still, on social media, she saw herself getting tagged in a lot of Hyuna stuff. Come to find out she was still sneak dissing and her stans were eating it up and defending her. However, ARMY was not too happy about the abrupt attitude change and shade thrown at Miss Bangtan.
"Do you want me to say something?" Yoongi asked, who sat next to her, ready to defend her honor.
"Yoongi...no," she firmly said as she turned to him.
"The situation is so grimy. Like damn, the bitch can't share the stage with you on her song that she wanted you to be on in the first place? Why bother asking to collab?" Angelina spoke up, sitting on the couch with Namjoon. "Did she think it wasn't going to go well? She underestimated the power of ARMY's support and your talent as an artist. Those comments on that YouTube video were mainly about you, Jennie. You outshined her in the music video and she was mad about it and has been holding it in for a while. The bitch is jealous,"
"I'm just confused and thrown off by everything. Like I thought we were friends—"
"Well, she's not your friend," Angelina firmly cut Jennie off, getting upset about Hyuna. "A friend doesn't sneak diss. Fuck her,"
"Are you going to let her just bash your name like this in public?" Namjoon asked.
"She is South Korea's IT girl. Everyone loves her. And if I respond...I have a feeling I'll be public enemy number one. You know how the media is gonna twist this and make me the bad guy," Jennie reminded.
"Jen, I love your calmness, right now because you know I'll be ready to fight somebody," Angelina added. "I wish I had your calmness. But stop being nice,"
"I'm not trying to be! I'm not! I'm getting annoyed, now..." she sighed out of frustration.
"Good. Write about it,"
"Listen, I shouldn't cause Bangtan any drama. Award season is coming up...I can't be taking the attention off of us at the award shows. Like I don't even want to be involved in this drama...why can't I just have some genuine celebrity friends, that won't get mad over petty shit, like this? I'm getting PTSD from Hailey and that took a while to heal from,"
"Munchkin, you're not causing drama for us," Hobi spoke up as he leaned against the wall, next to the couch. "I know you're thinking of the negatives but the positives outweigh it. You should respond,"
"And you know that people love you, too. She is not the only beloved K-Pop idol, in the world. You've been making a positive name for yourself with us as BTS. ARMY and us will not stand for the slander. I want you to write about it all," Yoongi affirmed.
"Turn this negative into a positive," Namjoon reminded.
"Diss track incoming?" Angelina smiled.
Jennie let the rappers' words sink in as she glanced at all of them. They had a point. She couldn't just let her bash her name like this out of nowhere. On top of that, she didn't want to hear anything about being respectful to her seniors when she was getting disrespected unprovoked. It bothered her how people think they can talk to younger people in any type of way. Respect should be a mutual thing.
"For now, don't bother engaging in the drama on social media. Don't respond to any of it online. Continue to go about your day like normal," Namjoon suggested.
"Yeah...okay. You're right. All of you," she replied. "I really can't let her just get away with talking shit and not saying it directly to my face. Especially when she didn't even want to respond to my messages and blocked me. She needs to get checked,"
"Good. I'm looking forward to this," Hobi smiled.
"You and I both," Yoongi revealed his gummy smile.
Jennie chuckled and turned to Namjoon. "This reminds me a little bit of the Bobby situation and your diss at MAMA 2014. But yours was more of entertainment. Unlike this,"
The leader chuckled at that and nodded. "Yeah. Well, what are you going to do, now?"
"Handle it," she firmly responded and grabbed her notebook.
"Best news I've heard all day. Get writing," Angelina broke out into a big smile, as the others agreed.
"Mama Awards 2016. Speak your truth, there. Let's talk to the staff later about everything," Namjoon recommended.
"Okay," Jennie nodded, liking that idea. "I'll show you what I have when I'm done. Can I be alone, please? To work?"
The boys respected her decision and left her to work while Angelina stayed behind with Namjoon waiting for her outside the studio.
"Word of advice? Try the 8 Mile method. The stealing thunder strategy. You remember the movie and the final rap battle with Eminem?" Angelina asked as she got off the couch.
"Yeah. I've watched it a few times. That's not a bad idea. I'll work on it,"
Author's Note: OK I am nowhere near done but here are some smol snippets of scenes I'm working on for the next chapter :) things are subject to change but just to hold ya. Again sorry for taking so long! I have a few more events to go to that I'm excited about and going back to work soon since my vacation is almost done! So continue to bear with me as I continue to plan for the outings and work on the chapter.

The start of the silly airport outfits
"I cannot believe this…" Jennie grumbled with her arms crossed as she sat in the van with the members, on their way to the airport.
She had her fair share of goofy moments but this right here was currently number one. The boys were struggling not to laugh as they snuck glances at her wearing a large Pikachu Onesie. The reason? Losing a bet with Jungkook on who could beat who in Smash Bros, last night. She tried her hardest but he prevailed in a best out of 5.
"You look adorable," Jungkook giggled.
"Be quiet," she snapped at him in a playful tone, earning another giggle from him. "I can't believe I have to walk out in public with this on. Why? You know Dispatch is going to be there taking photos."
"You did bring it on yourself. You should have beat him in the game," Yoongi chuckled.
"Wow." she shook her head. "I am loving the support, right now,"
Bangtan had some fan events in Japan just before their 3rd Muster in Seoul and were headed to the airport to get on their flight. Once they arrived at the airport, fans and reporters were already there to take videos and photos. Jennie watched as the members and staff made their way out of the vehicle as she tried to mentally prepare herself to be seen with the onesie.
About to get out of the car, Jin turned back to Jennie and chuckled. "Are you coming?"
Seated next to him by the window, she groaned. "Yes…"
With a smile, Jin helped her out of the car and surprised sounds from the crowd were heard when they saw her in the onesie, along with giggling and various comments on how cute she looked. Being a good sport, Jennie grinned and waved at the camera, walking inside the airport with everyone else.
She laughed, forgetting about the embarrassment, and began to pose, with the members. Miss Bangtan even started playing the part of Pikachu, while reporters ate it up. After photos, the group started going to the destination of where their flight was as the large group of fans and reporters followed them.
"Jennie-ah, why are you wearing a Pikachu onesie?" she heard a fan ask who was recording her with their phone.
"I lost a video game bet," she grinned sheepishly, earning giggles in response.

You took the test!?
For this, I decided to go by RM's fan sign answer about which house the BTS members would be in! :)
As they walked further into the park at Universal Japan, Jennie began to hear the Harry Potter theme song, taking her by surprise.
"Wait a damn minute…are we-are we going to Harry Potter World!?" she exclaimed. Once she turned to Jungkook and saw him grinning, she jumped and squealed excitedly. "What!? Oh my gosh! Wait, you took the test!?"
"I did. I'm a Ravenclaw,"
"Ahhhh! Oh my gosh! It suits you! So much to do! Okay! We gotta get wands! We gotta do the whole thing. We gotta go on the rides, we gotta get butterbeer, get the outfits, everything! You ready?" she giggled excitedly as he smiled, thinking it was the cutest thing.
"Lead the way,"
"That's the spirit!" she grabbed his hand as they wandered around.
Jungkook continued to film her while she looked around the area in awe, happily watching her geek out.
"Ah~! It's just like the movies! I feel like I'm actually in the movies!" she beamed.

When he bakes for you on your birthday
"I made something for you," Jungkook said as they sat on the couch of her hotel suite.
"Oh? What is it?" Jennie looked on in anticipation.
"Close your eyes, first,"
"Okay," she closed her eyes with a smile, awaiting the surprise.
Getting up from the couch, Jungkook made his way to the fridge to grab the mini red velvet cake that he had made for her earlier today. Despite the constant teasing from Jimin and Taehyung on whether he knew what he was doing, the cake turned out quite well. Jungkook wanted to make her birthday as special as it could be and he always wanted to bake for her just like she did for him and the rest of the members. After grabbing a few paper plates, plastic forks, and a plastic knife, Jungkook set everything down on the table in front of the couch as Jennie continued to wait patiently.
After placing a 1 candle and a 9 candle on the cutely decorated cake he presented it to her with a smile.
"Open," he softly said.
Opening her eyes, she looked at the cake in awe, covering her mouth. She glanced up at him, back at the cake, and then back at him, uncovering her mouth to reveal a smile.
"What? You baked for me?" she let out a giggle.
"You bake for everyone. I wanted this birthday to be special so I decided to try to make you something,"
"Jungkook, today has been way more than special. This is so sweet, thank you. It smells good. And it looks good."

Being secure in our feelings
"Ah, I'm so spoiled. Today has been magical! Like, look at this! I don't even know where to start for the gifts," Jennie said, looking at all the gifts scattered around from friends and family.
"Do you want to open your gifts now or see your last gift of the evening?" Jungkook asked.
"Last gift?" she looked at him curiously.
He smiled softly and nodded.
The curiosity took over her. "Show me the last gift,"
"Follow me," he grabbed her hand and led her to the bedroom door.
Once he opened it, they walked in and saw that the room was decorated romantically. Cute electric candles lit up the room along with rose petals scattered around the floor and bed.
She gasped lightly as her heart fluttered. "Jungkook…"
After closing the door, he gazed her at while she stood in front of him, looking around in awe. Slowly walking over to her from behind, he watched as she turned around and they both smiled at each other. No words needed to be said. They both knew they wanted this and felt secure in their feelings.
Ah ok! Update and Three Smol Previews for Bangtan Gal :)
Okay, good news, I am hoping to post the wrestling chapters tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest. It's almost done. Gonna let that be for a bit after I post and continue focusing on Bangtan Gal. A few chapters are boring imo but the later chapters have more drama.
Also, good news with Bangtan Gal, the second chapter I plan to post, MAMA Awards 2016 is done. I just need to reread and edit.
It's 18,000+ words. I...went overboard. I am so sorry. I don't know how to stop. I guess pace yourself?? I had a lot of ideas and it kept flowing. It's MAMA Award heavy and I was writing about people's reactions.
I have to split the MAMA Awards chapter into Part 1 (A big moment happens) and Part 2 (Jennie's response to Hyuna) because I can't fit all my words in one Tumblr post. (It's THAT bad lmfao this never happened to me before. I have a problem)
So I will link both parts of that chapter in the author's note and masterlist when it's uploaded. You'll also see the links at the end of the chapter to continue reading or to go back to read part 1 of that chapter.
All I need to do is work on is the chapter before. Which is The 3rd Muster chapter. It shouldn't take too long. Once that's done and edited, expect those two and a half chapters to be released together. Thanks for your patience! I hope the writing isn't too crazy with what I have planned.
I truly liked the ideas I came up with :)
Here's another smol preview for the MAMA Award chapter. Three Smol Scenes.
------
The day of the MAMA Awards was finally here. The day Jennie anticipated the most. She had a good feeling about this show and was excited to show off her hard work with what she had planned. The morning of the show, she decided to tweet one simple word along with an eyebrow raising hashtag.
'Bet. #GonBeAnInteresting24Hours #Jen'
Jennie had been a trending topic on Naver and various K-Pop news outlets, which caused people to anticipate the MAMA Awards even more to see what might happen and if she may respond to Hyuna. Her silence on the matter had been a hot topic and now with her tweet going viral, fans stirred in a frenzy.
-------
With the show getting ready for the next segment, Jennie suddenly received a few packs of smarties from Jungkook.
"How'd you know I was about to ask?" she happily accepted them with surprise in her voice.
"I brought some with me just in case. I was paying attention to your facial expression. When you're about to ask for smarties or say that you wish you had them, you make this cute face. It's like you're pouting,"
"What? I was not pouting..." She turned away, feeling her face warm as he giggled.
"You just did it again,"
"Stop looking at me," she playfully pushed him away, making him laugh harder.
------
Suddenly, Hyuna had changed some of her lyrics, not looking Jennie's way as she danced.
Not a high and mighty girl scout in the club behind some fake bulletproof glass. How boring.
Some idols widened their eyes while others glanced over to where Jennie sat.
Yet another diss? This was getting out of control.
Bam Bam cringed and glanced at Jennie with worry, hoping she'd be all right. Hayoon frowned at the diss and shook her head slightly.
However, Jennie only smirked as she continued to watch, knowing that all eyes were on her to see how she'd react. Bangtan glanced at her and as she met their eyes, she gave them a nod. They nodded back and remained calm as they continued to watch the performance.
Suddenly a switch flipped in Jennie's demeanor as she rolled her neck and stared at Hyuna.
'This bitch got me fucked up...' she thought as she kept her cool.
Fans tweet:
'Not again!! Enough already!'
'Is she trying to provoke Jennie?'
'Don't be mad if Jennie catches her in an alley to stomp that ass!'
'The neck roll! I repeat! The neck roll! Jennie just did the neck roll! That is BAD! She got something planned! Get ready!'
'I don't like how she's acting. This is bullying at this point. Hyuna needs to chill,'
'Jen better than me because I would have ran on stage and popped her shit,'
'From the looks of it, Jennie is so bitter and jealous,'
'That smirk means business. I'm not ready,'
'I wish people would stop judging Jennie,'
'Jennie looks like she's plotting,'
'Why does she look so hot when she's upset?'
'Bangtan knows something that we don't because they don't look bothered at all,'
'Bangtan isn't even phased?! What is Jennie planning tonight?'
