Bolt Action event over! It was an Axis v. Allies event. My first game was against Italians, second game: German Grenadiers, and last game: German paratroopers.

My embattled Desert Rats won all three with only the last game being a close one.

My Crusader tank, as it is now well known for, took out snipers only. One AT round into a church belltower, another into the side of a building, and lastly a shell into a second floor window.

My opponents were fun to play, (save one that forfeited second turn…) and it was a long but good day.

Next event: Horus Heresy narrative campaign.

Unboxing: Tobruk starter set

I made a promise to a friend and fellow wargamer at the end of last year and that was in the New Year I would buy something for Flames of War and give it a try. Flames of War is a 15mm scale World War II wargame played at divisional level. I had largely put my promise to the back of my mind as Bolt Action and Barons War took over my thoughts. I happened to be browsing a copy of Wargames Illustrated and saw an advert for limited edition D-day divisions, the British 7th Armoured Division caught my eye and reminded me of my promise.

Long story short I ordered a number of things for Flames of War the first to arrive was the Tobruk starter set which I ordered through Amazon and it arrived better packaged than Lion Rampant did.

The boxset contains the following:

6x crusader tanks

3x Grant tanks

3x M4 Sherman tanks

4x M14/41 tanks

5x Semovente assault gund

2x 88mm guns

1x complete A5 rulebook

1x quick start guide

12x unit cards

1x 8 million bayonets dice

20x dice

The box was in perfect condition and literally said on the cover what it contains. British and Italian forces for recreating the siege of Tobruk. I have heard it said that that some of the tanks were not at Tobruk. I am a lover of historical accuracy with things but this time I did not care as it is a nice set with some beautiful models and some of my favourite tanks (the Grants, I love how ugly they look)

on opening the box I was confronted with so many sprues and resin parts making up the two forces. The models look fairly easy to assemble but the sheer number of sprues is intimidating. This is the point when normally I would take photos of each sprue and give some of the history behind the tank or artillery. I am trying to shorten my articles so I will not this time, I shall do that in a different entry.

Under the sprues was an A3 soft back edition of the Flames of war rulebook, a leaflet detailing the core rules allowing players to get started rather quickly. The set includes full instruction manuals on how to build the models. There were cards with all the statlines for the different units in the box. The set also includes 20 coloured dice and one 8 million bayonets dice.

That's all for now

Until next time,

Happy hobbying

Hani & Wonwoo Moments That Cause Fans To Speculate

Fox of BTS | BTS 8th Member

The MAMA Awards Glances:

During a major award show like MAMA, cameras caught Hani smiling and subtly glancing toward Wonwoo while Seventeen performed. Fans noticed that her gaze lingered on him more than once, sparking speculation about whether there was something more going on between them. BTS was seated near Seventeen, and Hani’s fond looks didn’t go unnoticed by eagle-eyed fans.

Matching Accessories:

During separate promotions, both Hani and Wonwoo were seen wearing what appeared to be matching bracelets. While it’s possible this was a coincidence, fans couldn’t help but speculate that the matching accessories were a sign of their closeness. Social media went wild with side-by-side comparisons of their jewelry, with fans asking if the bracelets were “couple items.”

Coordinated Social Media Posts:

Fans have pointed out that Hani and Wonwoo sometimes post on social media at suspiciously similar times. Whether it’s photos from the same location or cryptic captions that seem to mirror each other, fans have theorized that the two could be spending time together behind the scenes. One particular post where Hani uploaded a sunset photo followed by Wonwoo posting a similar one not long after had fans buzzing with excitement.

The “Accidental” Livestream Moment:

During a casual BTS livestream, Hani was talking to fans when she mentioned Seventeen’s recent comeback. When a fan commented about Wonwoo, Hani’s reaction was subtle but noticeable. Her smile grew wider, and she quickly moved on to the next question. Fans caught this and wondered whether her reaction indicated something more between them.

Behind-the-Scenes Chemistry:

During a behind-the-scenes video of a variety show collaboration between BTS and Seventeen, Hani and Wonwoo were seen playfully interacting. At one point, Wonwoo helped Hani adjust her mic pack, and the brief but intimate moment had fans speculating about the nature of their relationship. The soft smiles and comfortable energy between them were undeniable.

Subtle Teasing from Seungkwan and Hoshi:

During one of Seungkwan and Hoshi’s usual playful interactions with Hani, fans picked up on their teasing comments and speculate that they were about Wonwoo. In a TikTok video where the trio was doing a dance challenge, Hoshi jokingly asked Hani, “Are you going to send this to him?” Fans were quick to link the comment to Wonwoo, especially after Seungkwan smirked and added, “Yeah, he’s going to love this.”

Wonwoo’s Reaction to Hani’s Stage Performances:

Fans have noted that Wonwoo often reacts to Hani’s performances in a way that seems more than just friendly support. During one award show, when BTS performed, cameras cut to Seventeen’s table, and Wonwoo was seen watching intently, with a soft smile. The speculation grew when fans noticed he clapped more enthusiastically during Hani’s solo moments.

“Accidentally” Calling Him Out:

During a BTS fan meeting, a fan asked Hani to describe her ideal type. While she gave a generic answer, saying she liked someone thoughtful and kind, she added a small detail about enjoying someone who reads a lot, something fans quickly linked to Wonwoo, who is known for his love of books. The fans screamed in excitement, and Hani’s slightly flustered reaction didn’t help dispel the rumors.

Group Hangouts with Seventeen:

Fans noticed that Hani has been spotted hanging out with Seventeen members outside of official schedules. Whether it’s during group dinners, variety show tapings, or casual hangouts with the Seventeen members, fans have speculated that Wonwoo’s presence at these events is more than coincidental. Seungkwan and Hoshi, being the obvious intermediaries, seem to make the most of teasing Hani and Wonwoo during these get-togethers.

Subtle Body Language:

Fans have analyzed numerous interactions between Hani and Wonwoo, noting that their body language suggests a deeper connection. Whether it’s the way Wonwoo stands a little closer to her than necessary during group photos or how they always seem to be positioned near each other in public settings, fans believe the small, almost imperceptible moments point to something more.

“Accidental” Instagram Story:

Hani once posted an Instagram story of her enjoying a cup of coffee at a cafe. A few minutes later, Wonwoo posted a similar story from what looked like the same cafe, sparking rumors that they were together at the time. Though they didn’t appear in each other’s posts, fans couldn’t help but notice the matching table settings and atmosphere, leading many to believe that they were enjoying a quiet date.

Their Similar Playlist Choices:

During separate interviews, both Hani and Wonwoo mentioned having similar favorite songs. On one occasion, Hani shared a playlist for fans, which included songs that Wonwoo had also recommended during a recent Vlive. Fans were quick to notice the overlap, and the shared taste in music became another piece of “evidence” that the two were connected beyond friendship.

Special Shoutout at Seventeen’s Concert:

During one of Seventeen’s concerts, Hani was spotted in the audience cheering them on. What made fans even more excited was when Seungkwan and Hoshi playfully mentioned a “special friend” in the crowd, making sure to look in Hani’s direction. Although they didn’t directly mention her name, fans quickly assumed they were talking about her, especially with Wonwoo giving a shy smile on stage after the remark.

The Suspicious Gift Exchange:

During one of BTS’s Vlive sessions, Hani was seen opening a gift that she said was from a “friend.” She didn’t reveal who it was from, but fans quickly linked it to Wonwoo after noticing that the bracelet inside matched one he had been seen wearing during Seventeen’s promotions. The exchange of gifts and their matching jewelry further fueled dating rumors.

Caught in the Same Area Abroad:

During BTS and Seventeen’s overlapping international schedules, fans spotted both groups vacationing in the same city at the same time. While there was no official confirmation that Hani and Wonwoo were together, fans speculated that they might have coordinated their free time to spend it together, especially after a fan account posted about seeing them in the same neighborhood in Paris.

Subtle Mentions of Each Other:

In separate interviews, both Hani and Wonwoo have made subtle mentions of qualities they admire in others that seem to describe each other. Wonwoo once mentioned admiring someone who is “calm but passionate,” which fans thought perfectly described Hani. Meanwhile, Hani once said she likes people who “balance intellect and humor,” which many believe points to Wonwoo’s personality.

Wonwoo’s Reaction to Hani’s Solo Performance:

During a BTS concert where Hani had a solo stage, fans noticed that Wonwoo, who was in the audience with Seventeen, had an unusually focused expression while she performed. Seventeen members were all cheering on BTS, but Wonwoo’s intense concentration on Hani’s performance stood out. Fans captured the moment, adding it to the growing list of “evidence” that he has deeper feelings for her.

Wonwoo’s Appearance on Hani’s TikTok:

During a TikTok dance challenge that Hani filmed with Seungkwan and Hoshi, Wonwoo made a surprise cameo in the background. Although he was quiet and didn’t participate, fans couldn’t help but notice his lingering presence, which seemed out of character for someone as private as Wonwoo. The light teasing from Hoshi and Seungkwan about his cameo only fueled speculation.

Fan Theories Based on Their Lyrics:

Some fans have analyzed the lyrics of BTS and Seventeen songs, trying to find hidden messages that could hint at Hani and Wonwoo’s relationship. While there’s no direct evidence, many believe that certain Seventeen ballads and BTS’s love songs could have been inspired by their connection, especially given that both groups have collaborated on music and have shared moments of artistic inspiration.

Accidental Livestream Glance:

During a Seventeen Vlive, fans caught a brief moment where Wonwoo’s phone buzzed, and his screen lit up with a message. Though the message wasn’t visible, eagle-eyed fans noticed that the contact name started with an “H” and immediately theorized it was Hani texting him. His shy smile and quick movement to turn off the phone only added to the speculation.

The Seungkwan and Hoshi Teasing Game:

Fans have noted that Seungkwan and Hoshi love to tease both Hani and Wonwoo whenever they are all in the same space. During one joint live stream, Seungkwan joked about how “someone” blushes whenever a certain someone is around, while Hoshi chimed in, saying, “We all know who it is.” Though neither of them directly named Hani or Wonwoo, fans were quick to make the connection based on their history of playful teasing.

Wonwoo’s Shyness Around Hani:

During award show appearances, fans have pointed out that Wonwoo often appears shyer or more reserved when Hani is around. While he’s normally quiet, his subtle reactions, such as avoiding eye contact or nervously laughing when she’s mentioned, have led fans to believe that he has a crush on her, and he’s struggling to hide it.

✿✼:*ﾟ:༅｡.｡༅:*･ﾟﾟ･⭑

You and Taehyung were invited to the Celine show, and right now, you were at the after party. The after party was on a beach, at night, with other gorgeous models. You were the prettiest though, all the models had their eyes on you and they were all surprised of how nice, sociable and humble you were. Some even asked to take pictures with you, which you accepted, of course.

During that night, you noticed a weird feeling, something new. Something had changed between you and Taehyung. Why were you both acting like this? You were so flirty with each other. While dancing together, he brought you closer to him, caressed your body from your head to your ass. Sometimes you would even get your lips an inch away from each other then just laugh and get back. You never acted like that usually? But somehow, you couldn’t keep your eyes off of each other.

And the worst is, everybody could see you. Including fans, models and reporters. The beach was private, but the street wasn’t. Up the stairs to go to the beach, fans were filming and watching you. So if anything happened in between you and Taehyung, they’ll immediately see it and post it everywhere. However, this was the least of your concerns, Taehyung was much more interesting.

It’s like this wasn’t you and him from Bts, but just two friends flirting and hanging out with each other.

After drinking some more alcohol with him, he takes your hand and brings you close to him once again. His hips are stuck on yours, slowly moving right and left to the music, his hands still exploring your curves and getting them under your skirt or t-shirt occasionally. He’s not shy, he isn’t worried about the fans and cameras neither. On the contrary, being in public couldn’t turn him more on. His dick rubbing against his luxury pants, and the bulge of his pants rubbing against your stomach.

He grinds himself discreetly against you, his dick getting harder and begging to get his pants off. He stares at your revealing cleavage, your breast sitting perfectly, as you bite your lower lip and look straight onto his eyes. Suddenly, he cups your face with one hand, keeping his other one on your hips under your skirt, and pushes you against the wall behind the bar. The fans are quiet, silently screaming to not disturb you, observing the scene and filming you two.

He gets closer to you and pushes eagerly his lips on yours, catching your top lip in between his and sucking on it. He tilts his head trying to get a better taste of your previous drink and to get deeper. His grip on you is firm, he doesn’t stop pushing you up against the wall and the fans are zooming in on the work of your lips. Then, he moves his hand from your hips to beside your head, pinning you, and brings the other one to your waist. He puts one of his leg in between yours and brings it closer to your crotch, before rubbing it against your clit under your skirt. You gently, discreetly move forth and back on his leg, trying to not be too explicit for the cameras and fans. He was so hungry for you. He wanted to have you for the whole night, just for himself.

‘Just one night, it won’t hurt to have fun. Will it?’ You think. It’s not like it will ruin your whole reputation and career. You’re a human, you’re allowed to have fun too. The kiss gets more and more heated, grinding on his leg isn’t enough and it’s getting hard to breathe. So you break the kiss but he lifts you up, bringing you to the public but clean toilets. He closes the door behind and smashes his lips against yours, sliding his tongue under your lip and licking your bottom ones. He shuts the toilet and sits down on it. First, you stand in between his legs as he looks up at you. How can he look so dominant in this position? He stares at your hard nipple through your white, transparent t-shirt, then grabs your boob and wraps his lips around it. Sucking hard on your nipple through the tissue as he stains it with his spit. With his other hand, he cups your free boob and massages it. You moan at the warm feeling. You push him off and get your clothes off. But right as you were about to take your t-shirt off, he stops you.

‘Keep your clothes on y/n, just take off your pants.’

He says in a deep voice. And when he said your name, it reminded you of what you’re doing right now, and with whom. You start taking off your pants. How were you going to explain this to Army? Bts? Your agency? But the sound of a belt cuts your thoughts. He’s also taking off his pants. But he, unlike you, takes off his boxers and let his tall and thick cock stand proudly by itself. He pushes your pants with his on the side and pats his lap, indicating you he wants you to sit on it. You get over him, face to face and your legs outside of his, and he pulls your panties to the side just so that he can enter you. He touches your pussy a few seconds to see if you’re wet enough and smirks. He looks proud of himself, he knew how he made you feel, and he liked it. You slowly lower your hips, approaching your cunt to his dick and places it in front of your entrance. Then once it’s lined up perfectly, he grabs your hips and pushes them against his. You start jumping on it, moaning as his big curved cock hits all the rights spots. He curses under his breath, and you moan. He watches your tits jump with you, up and down and going round. He also looks at your face, your expressions. He needs to know that he’s making you feel good, he needs this validation.

Watching your tits and face is great, but he’s upset he can’t see your ass that’s probably a whole show that he can’t miss. So he gets his phone and puts it in selfie mode, filming your ass slapping against his hips on camera. In the video, you can see him biting his lips and smirking and you can hear all of your moans. You keep going and he keeps filming until your legs are starting to get tired and you’re slowly reaching your highest. So he puts his phone behind you against the door, on a little shelf there was and starts helping you by lifting you up with his hands, and thrusting aggressively in and out of you.

You feel a warm feeling coming and you feel yourself about to reach your orgasm. He also feels it coming and goes faster, and deeper. You finally reach your orgasm together as you both release in the spot, moans could be heard miles away. You catch up your breath and look at him. He gets his phone, zooms on his dick inside your pussy and tells you to get up and release his cum on his stomach. You do as he pleases and get up keeping his semen in you, then releasing it on his lower stomach. He laughs a little. You lean forward and clean his tummy, eating up all of his delicious cum on his abs.

‘Cute’

He says looking up lazily at you. You clean yourselves before putting back on your clothes, kissing a bit and getting out of the toilet like nothing happened. He finishes his video with you wobbling out of the toilet like a penguin and him gently laughing. After he’s done he hugs you from beside and trust me, twitter and Armys will never, forget about “that one night”.

Late Night

November 2023

"I thought it was only me who couldn't sleep without you," Jungkook murmured, his voice like silken threads against the hushed hum of the night Luna was surrounded with.

Eyes shimmering like moonlit pools, Luna graced him with a smile that could melt the frost from winter's breath. Stretching languidly, she laid her glasses aside, her fingers delicately adjusting the laptop on her lap, its screen casting an ethereal glow upon her face.

Under the soft glow of the laptop screen, Jungkook observed the dark circles that adorn Luna's eyes. A teasing smile played on his lips as he remarked, "You should sleep, I can see those dark circles from the screen."

Luna, ever the flirt, met his gaze with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "They're from me staying up late thinking of you."

Jungkook couldn't help but chuckle at her playful banter. "More like staying up late devouring those romance novels of yours."

Luna pouted playfully, her lips forming a mock frown. "How dare you? Those novels are my guilty pleasure. And besides, I miss reading them to you."

Jungkook's heart fluttered at her words, a warm sensation spreading through his chest. He tried to mask his feelings with a nonchalant shrug. "I can't say the same. Those novels are a bit too flowery for my taste."

"Oh, but you secretly enjoy them," Luna teased, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "I can see it in the way you lean in closer, the way your eyes widen when I reach a particularly steamy scene."

Jungkook felt his cheeks flush with heat, his denial caught in his throat. "Nonsense."

Luna giggled, her laughter echoing through the room like a melody. "Don't try to fool me, Koo. I know you secretly adore my storytelling."

He couldn't help but smile, caught in her web of affection and playful teasing. "Fine, I admit it. I do enjoy our reading sessions."

Luna's eyes lit up with delight. "Knew it!" She snuggled into her bed, adjusting the laptop beside her.

Jungkook chuckled, a sense of warmth enveloping him. "What time is it there, Aera?" he asked, his voice laced with tenderness.

Luna's eyes flitted towards the clock on her laptop, "1 AM," she replied, her voice a gentle melody in the quiet night. "What's there?"

"11 AM," Jungkook's voice echoed across the miles, a bridge spanning the vast expanse of time zones.

Luna's heart skipped a beat, a fluttering rhythm akin to the wings of a hummingbird. "Did you sleep well last night?" she inquired, her concern as palpable as the soft moonlight streaming through her window.

Jungkook sighed a sound that waved like an exhausted sprite in the stillness of the night. "Tried to," he admitted, his voice laced with a hint of sleep-deprived humor. "It wasn't the best sleep I've had."

With a playful click, Jungkook placed his empty glass on the table, its silence resonating with the unspoken words that hung in the air.

Luna's lips curled into a teasing smile, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "You look cute while sleeping," she declared out of the blue.

Jungkook's eyebrows arched, a hint of surprise flickering across his face. "That was so random," he remarked, his voice laced with amusement.

Luna's smile widened, her eyes sparkling with delight. "But the truth," she countered, her voice a mischievous whisper that carried the weight of countless stolen glances and tender moments observed in the quietude of slumber.

Luna's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree, her excitement palpable as she leaned forward, her voice bubbling with anticipation. "Anywho, Koo, guess what's happening in the book I'm reading?"

Jungkook, ever the patient listener, raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued. "Do tell," he encouraged, his voice laced with a hint of intrigue.

"Well, in the story, this girl's boyfriend, the one she's absolutely in love with, calls her from beyond the grave," Luna revealed, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper.

Jungkook's jaw dropped, his eyebrows shooting up in disbelief. "After he dies?" he asked, his voice echoing Luna's astonishment.

"Yes!" Luna exclaimed, her eyes wide with excitement. "It's like, he's calling her from the afterlife, and she can't believe it's real. But here's a thought, what if it's just a hallucination because of the grief?"

Jungkook scratched his head, his mind grappling with the perplexing plot twist. "Hmm, that's a good question," he admitted. "Could be either, I guess. I haven't read the book myself, so I can't say for sure."

Luna's brow furrowed slightly, a hint of disappointment clouding her usually cheerful face.

Jungkook's heart skipped a beat. Had he inadvertently upset Luna? Was his casual shrug a sign of indifference? Did he seem distant, neglecting her thoughts and feelings?

A torrent of anxious questions swirled in his mind, each one threatening to drown him in a sea of guilt. He opened his mouth to apologize, but Luna's voice cut him off.

"It's impossible though," she declared, her voice firm and unwavering. "The dead can't communicate with the living."

Jungkook's mind, still caught in the whirlwind of his self-inflicted anxiety, paused to reassess the situation. Luna's words, though initially alarming, were not a reflection of her emotions towards him. She was simply expressing her disbelief in the supernatural aspect of the book she was reading.

With a sigh of relief, Jungkook forced a nonchalant smile, attempting to mask his momentary panic. "Oh, right," he chuckled, feigning amusement. "How could he be calling her? Maybe it's a fantasy novel, who knows?"

Luna, her body nestled comfortably amidst her pillows, nodded in agreement, her eyelids fluttering shut. She was exhausted, her mind heavy with the day's events.

Jungkook, sensing her fatigue, gently suggested, "You should sleep, Aera."

Luna's gaze remained fixated on the laptop screen, her eyes tracing the familiar features of the man she had grown to love with an intensity that bordered on obsession. The thought of sleeping without the comfort of his voice, the reassurance of his presence, was almost unbearable.

In a soft, almost pleading tone, she requested, "Can you sing for me?"

Jungkook's heart melted at her sweet request. Without hesitation, he inquired, "Sure, what do you want me to sing?"

"... Hate You," Luna murmured, her voice barely a whisper. She referred to one of his songs from his latest album, a stark contrast to the love that blossomed between them.

Jungkook hesitated for a moment, about to point out the irony of her choice, but Luna's words cut him short. "Who's focusing on the lyrics? I just wanna listen to your voice," she explained, her eyes fluttering closed as she pulled the blanket over her, seeking solace in the warmth it provided.

With a warm smile, Jungkook settled into his position, his elbows resting on the table, his chin resting on his hand. His gaze remained fixed on Luna, his eyes filled with an unspoken depth of love.

A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he cleared his throat, his voice soft and melodious as he began to sing.

"I wish you went... behind my back..." The lyrics flowed from his lips, weaving a tapestry of emotions that transcended the boundaries of the digital realm, his voice a soothing balm to her weary soul.

The moon cast its silvery glow upon Luna's room, illuminating the scene with an ethereal radiance, she drifted off to sleep, lulled by Jungkook's enchanting voice, her heart overflowing with a love that defied all logic and reason.

With a final gentle whisper of "Sweet dreams, love," Jungkook ended the call, his heart brimming with affection for the woman who had captured his soul. The moon continued its silent vigil, casting its silvery light upon the sleeping form of Luna, a testament to the enduring power of love.

Bolt Action ‘narrative’ event tomorrow. This is the list i’m bringing:

Officer, x5 infantry sections, x3 bren carrier iors, crusader, 25pdr, sniper, mortar, mmg, and artillery officer. I’ve used this list before and it is very flexible and fun.

Also, i made a ‘artifact’ for the ‘narrative’ component of the day. It is a ‘letter back home’ and ‘reply’. I struggled to keep it to 300 words max, but it is better for it. The photo is from internet but fits the artifact theme i was going for.

Hani & JK at Coachella

Hani of BTS | BTS 8th Member

The lights of Coachella pulsed across the crowd like a heartbeat, colors flashing over everyone in neon and electric hues. Hani was in the center of it all, feeling the excitement sweep through the festival grounds. She was with Jennie, Jisoo, and Lisa, having the time of her life despite knowing she had to be serious for her performance the next day. BLACKPINK would be performing at Coachella, and since Rosé had fallen sick, Hani was set to step in for her. But for tonight, she could let go and enjoy the moment. Even better, her longtime friend and bandmate, Jungkook, was there with her. Timing had worked out perfectly since he was recording in LA, so he’d decided to join her for Coachella, eager to support her and enjoy the festival.

The girls were all buzzing from a few drinks, dancing and laughing together under the flashing lights. Hani didn’t mind the warmth of the alcohol spreading through her, making her feel lighter and bolder, her laughter blending with theirs as they swayed to the music. But as the night went on, Hani started to feel the unwanted presence of a group of men nearby. They were lingering too close, their gazes too persistent, and Hani began inching closer to Jennie and Lisa, trying to ignore them.

Suddenly, she felt a familiar hand slip around her waist, pulling her back protectively. Jungkook was by her side in an instant, his hand firm as he positioned himself between her and the men. Without saying a word, he subtly drew her close, his fingers slipping into her belt loops, signaling to everyone that she wasn’t alone.

“Just keep dancing,” he murmured, his voice low and steady in her ear. “I’ve got you.”

Hani smiled gratefully, closing her eyes for a moment, letting the music and his presence calm her. They continued swaying together, her feeling safe and relaxed in his protective embrace, his watchful gaze ensuring that no one would bother her again.

Unbeknownst to them, several people in the crowd noticed the moment and whipped out their phones, capturing Jungkook’s protective stance. Within minutes, clips of Jungkook holding Hani close, were posted online. The videos went viral almost instantly, and soon, ARMYs on Twitter and social media were flooding the internet with fan edits and reactions.

@ArmyForever: “JUNGKOOK holding HANI like that?? My heart can’t take it, he’s such a protector!! 😍🔥 #ProtectiveJungkook”

@OT7Army: “Not me obsessing over how safe Hani looks with Kookie holding her like that… idk I’m in shambles #JungkookHani”

@BTSxARMY: “I’m losing it over this! Look at how he’s holding her belt loops—my heart is done! Jungkook is the best 🥺💜 #JungkookProtectsHani”

As the internet buzzed with excitement, Wonwoo, who had stayed back in Korea, was scrolling through his phone when he stumbled upon one of the videos. His heart skipped a beat seeing Hani with Jungkook, the way he was holding her protectively. At first, worry flashed through his mind—she looked flushed, a little unsteady, and he recognized that look. She’d probably had a few drinks with the BLACKPINK girls and was feeling lightheaded. Concerned, he opened his messages, his fingers hovering before he typed a quick text to Jungkook.

Wonwoo: Hey, Kookie, saw a few videos. Hani okay?

The response was almost immediate.

Jungkook: Yeah, hyung, she’s fine! She had a little too much with the BLACKPINK girls, but don’t worry. I’m taking her back now.

Wonwoo exhaled, the tension easing as he imagined Hani safe and smiling, thanks to Jungkook’s watchful presence.

Wonwoo: I appreciate it, Kookie. Really. Thanks for having her back.

Jungkook: Always, hyung. I’m basically guarding her with my life right now. 😂

Wonwoo smiled at his screen, feeling reassured and grateful that Hani had someone so reliable by her side.

Meanwhile, Jungkook guided Hani back to her hotel room, making sure she was comfortable and had everything she needed. Once inside, he helped her settle onto the sofa, opening a bottle of water from the minibar and handing it to her.

“Here,” he said, sitting beside her. “You need to hydrate.”

Hani took the bottle with a sleepy grin, taking big gulps as she shook her head, still giggling. “I’m going to feel this tomorrow, aren’t I?”

“Definitely. But you’ll feel worse if you don’t drink that,” he replied, watching her with an amused smile as she drank more. Once she finished most of the bottle, Jungkook leaned back, a soft seriousness entering his gaze. “You ready for tomorrow?”

Hani looked down at the water, a mix of nerves and excitement surfacing in her eyes. “I mean…it’s Coachella. I feel ready but also…not ready at all? I’ve never done something like this and I don’t want to disappoint ARMY or Blinks. Everyone’s expecting something amazing.”

Jungkook tilted his head, meeting her gaze with a steady, encouraging look. “And that’s exactly what they’re going to get. Hani—don’t act like Coachella’s any different. Tomorrow, you’re going to make that crowd lose it.”

Her face softened as his words sank in, her cheeks flushing as she gave a small, grateful nod. “Thank you, Kookie.”

He smirked, his eyes bright with confidence. “Just telling the truth. You’ve got this, and tomorrow everyone’s going to see it.”

Hani felt her nerves melt, a smile breaking through as she looked at him with genuine appreciation. “I’ll give it my all. I’m going to make you and everyone proud.”

Jungkook chuckled, reaching over to ruffle her hair. “That’s what I like to hear. Now, get some rest.”

Once he was sure she’d drunk enough water and was comfortably settled, he gave her a last pat on the shoulder and stood to leave. “You good?” he asked.

She nodded, giving him a warm, sleepy smile. “More than good, thanks to you.”

He returned the smile, nodding with a final wave. “Break a leg tomorrow, Hani. I’ll be cheering you on.”

After he left, Hani felt a warm glow settle over her, a mix of gratitude and determination. Jungkook had a way of grounding her, filling her with the confidence she needed to take on a stage as big as Coachella. As she lay down, she opened her phone to find a message from Wonwoo, making her smile grow even wider.

Wonwoo: Knock ‘em dead tomorrow, Hani. I’m so proud of you.
