#I'm so glad we got rehearsal photos

Hannah Waddingham rehearsing for Thundergong 2023

[nerdyjournals]

Thank you for your request! Other than the little mishap, this was a fun one to do! You really had me thinking over what each one would get upset over, so hopefully they all fit!

Bang Chan

You could feel his eyes bore through you as Chan stared at you through the glass in the hospital door. He looked frazzled. Hair a mess, the bags under his eyes even worse than before.

He stepped in and you watched all the air escape him as he took in your bandaged wrist.

"And what have we learned?" He said, voice soft but stern.

"To wait until help arrives and to not be a stubborn and impatient baby," you whined as he lifted up your hand. "They said it'll be a week or so before I can lift anything."

"Do you see why I was so insistent that you wait?" You nodded. "Plus I have seven able body movers who were ready to help us later tonight after rehearsals."

You whispered another apology as he took you into his arms and held you tight.

"I'm just glad you're okay and it was nothing major."

Lee Know

You felt yourself wince as you stepped over the threshold of your apartment. You had been hoping to do some spring cleaning before Minho got home so he could just rest.

He had told you to do it in stages so you wouldn't overwork and hurt yourself, but what do you do? You overwork and hurt yourself.

Now you softly flinch as you spot him sitting in an armchair that you swear was never positioned in the middle of the hallway.

"I'm in trouble, aren't I?" You scratched the back of your head nervously.

"Big time." Minho stood from the chair and walked over. "You know I tell you not to do things because I care about you, right?" You nod. "So why go against me?"

"I wanted you to have a nice place to rest since you've been working so hard, but I just screwed up again." He pulled you into a soft hug, silently trying to find where you were hurt. "You're not even supposed to be home early. Why are you here?"

"You always send me a photo of your food before my lunch break if you're home, and I know for a fact that you have today off."

"You were worried?"

"Don't tell the media. I do have a reputation to uphold, you know."

Okay, the laugh hurt a little bit.

Changbin

The front door opened and closed without Changbin's usual fanfare. Yup, you were in trouble.

His figure came around the corner with a small pharmacy bag and two cups of boba. Okay, so he wasn't that mad....yet.

"Are you okay?" Those words shocked you, having been ready for his beratement or something along those lines.

"I'm okay. A little sore, but okay." He walked over and handed you the drink and bag. "I thought you said you'll be late tonight."

"And I knew that if I didn't come home at my earliest convenience, you'd try something stupid again." You pouted as both of you knew he was right. "I know you want our first place to be perfect, but we have all the time in the world to decorate."

"I work from home, Bin. I need something to do other than watching a computer screen for eight hours."

"Then bring your laptop with you and visit the studio. The guys won't mind. They love you."

"Are you sure I won't be distracting?"

"Never. If anything, you might get annoyed with Jisung's antics."

"I'll take that risk."

Hyunjin

The sound of feet rushing against the tile of your apartment floor brought you back to reality. Your little perch on the balcony slightly helped alleviate your headache.

Hyunjin stood there with a small pharmacy bag and a hand fan.

"Are you okay? Any breakouts or irritation?" He asked, worry filling his voice with each word.

"No. I got out quickly enough." You said, obviously tired. He switched on the hand fan and placed it yours as he set the bag aside. "I'm sorry."

"What were you doing in there anyway?"

"I wanted to clean up a bit. You were really stressed about it."

"I'd rather have a messy studio than have you in the hospital." His gaze drifted from you to the view. "Fresh air help?"

"Not as much as you."

Han

Hearing footsteps approach, you quickly tried to get off the floor but to no avail.

"Aish..." Han's soft curse came from the doorway. "Didn't I tell you to wait for me before trying to unpack?"

The two of you had moved in together recently and your stuff was the last to unpack and also the heaviest.

"Did you finish your book already?" He asked as the two of you began to pick up the fallen novels. He could see your face scrunch at all the bent pages and covers.

"I thought the next one was in the stack of opened boxes. I just wanted to start and not have to bug you for something so small."

"You enjoy reading, yeah?" You slowly nodded. "Then it's not so small. I think it's small when I interrupt your reading for a thirty second clip opinion."

You nodded and placed another book back in the box as he tilted your chin over to look him in the eyes.

"If any of your books got ruined, they're replaceable. You know what's not? You. So ask me next time, okay?"

Felix

It was a little embarrassing to have Felix walk in and see you with your hand submerged in a bowl of water.

"I thought I told you to do an ice shower," he sighed as he placed the bag in the table.

"Why would I need to shower for just my hand?" You slowly lifted out of the water and showed off the damage. "How bad?"

"Well, it's not blistering so that's good." Felix grabbed the kitchen towel to dry pat your hand. "What were you doing anyway?"

"Taking cookies out of the oven." You pointed over to where a batch of cookies still sat on the baking sheet. "I couldn't find the mitts so i used the rubber ones, but the back of my hand touched the metal."

"You're very brave to even keep them on the tray while in pain." He put the cream on and began to wrap it. "You're not allowed to bake without me here anymore, okay? At least, not until this heals."

"Oh no. I have to spend more quality time with my boyfriend. Whatever shall I do?" The sarcasm dripped from your words, making him smile and press against the injury.

"Don't make me regret it."

Seungmin

His steps were frantic as he unlocked the apartment door. Part of him was thankful they had chosen to put security cameras in the house, but the other part cursed him cause it forced him to watch his partner take a nasty fall.

"Y/N?" He didn't raise his voice, knowing that you might have a bad headache.

Your hand peeked out from behind the kitchen island and he rushed over. He found you leaned against the cabinet with an ice pack against the back of your head.

"Hey," he whispered, "1 to 10?" You held up four fingers then four more. "Can you stand?" You signed out the sign for 'no.' "Can I carry you? I got the car running outside." You signed 'yes.' "Talking hurts?" You signed 'yes' again as he carefully lifted you into his arms.

You signed 'sorry' as you made it to the car.

"Why are you apologizing? It was an accident and the guys understand that." He gently placed you in the passenger seat. "They will want an update once you're all clear, okay?"

You signed 'okay.'

I.N

Something was off. You had been avoiding his hand ever since he got home. Normally Jeongin won't mind, but you won't even hold it in front of you.

"You tried to hook up the gundam already, didn't you?" He said as he watched you freeze. "Show me the damage."

You slowly held your hand out, placing it softly in his. Small bandages say on a few knuckles while little red dots covered your palm.

"You tried to solder the wires without knowing how to use the tool, didn't you?" You tried to take your hand back but failed. "I told you to wait for me."

"But I wanted it done so that I could show it to you when you got home. Now it's just sitting there, taunting me."

"What's more fun? Building together or building alone?"

"Together." You sounded so shy.

"Then let's have dinner and we'll finish your project together." You nodded. "And then I yell at my brother to never give you a complicated set again."

"JEONGIN."

PAST LIVES (2023) PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue from the film, adjust as necessary

who do you think they are to each other?

i guess that doesn't make sense.

why are you crying?

what did you decide?

i will probably marry him.

you want to go on a date with him?

if you leave something behind, you gain something, too.

you're really leaving? you're never coming back?

there was so much in it that i responded to, but the one phrase that sticks with me the most is the line "the long journey is rotting."

who else should we look up?

think of it as a blessing that you broke up, and consider this a new beginning.

of course you miss her, you moron.

do you have a secret girlfriend or something?

who's messaging you at 3AM?

thank you for this meal.

did you drink a lot last night?

why are you in such a good mood?

i recognize you.

i didn't even know that you remembered me!

i just looked for you as a joke, then i saw that you'd been looking for me.

i tried really hard to find you.

do you still cry a lot?

you would always stay with me whenever i was crying.

you can't cry in new york city.

i'm a really fun person to talk to.

what time is it there?

it doesn't make a lot of sense, but... can i even say something like this? i missed you.

i only speak korean with you and my mom.

you're the same as the 12 year old kid in my memory.

have you seen eternal sunshine of the spotless mind?

will you come to new york sometime?

will you come to seoul sometime?

i want us to stop talking to each other for a while.

i want to accomplish something here.

what are you sorry about? were we dating or something?

tonight, we drink 'til we die.

you got the worst room.

maybe you and i were somebody to each other in another lifetime.

do you believe that? that you and i knew each other in another life?

it's going to rain the whole time you're there.

i missed you. i was disappointed.

we're not together right now.

do you not want to get married?

i'm too ordinary.

my job is ordinary, my income is ordinary. it's all ordinary.

you look good.

why do you fight?

it's like planting two trees in one pot. our roots are finding their place.

you're worrying about me?

getting married is hard for idealistic people like you.

why did you look for me?

i just wanted to see you one more time.

i think i was a little pissed off because you just left.

you're right. there's nothing to be sorry about.

i don't have a right to be mad.

i'm not gonna miss my rehearsals for some dude.

we're not meant for each other.

we slept together because we both happened to be single.

you make it sound so romantic.

that's not how life works.

this is my life. and i'm living it with you.

this is where i ended up. this is where i'm supposed to be.

it's just that you make my life so much bigger, and i'm wondering if i do the same thing for you.

you're forgetting the part where i love you.

you never sleep talk in english. you only dream in korean.

i didn't know that. you never told me.

most of the time i think it's cute, but sometimes... i don't know. i get scared.

you dream in a language that i can't understand. there's this whole place inside of you where i can't go.

you really are exactly the same as i remember you.

when we stopped talking... i really missed you. did you miss me?

i don't know, seeing you again and being here makes me have a lot of weird thoughts.

what if you had never left? if you hadn't left like that, and we just grew up together, would i have still looked for you?

would we have dated? broken up? gotten married? would we have kids together?

you had to leave because you're you.

i think there was something in our past lives.

i never thought i'd be part of something like this.

i'm really glad you came here. it was the right thing to do.

Happy Charm - Educe 10

Season: Spring Characters: Sora, Jun, Subaru, Tatsumi, Eichi Translators & Proofreaders: taiyaki-translations, citrinesea, toujokaname

<The day of the treasure hunt program broadcast>

Sora: Ah, the commercial ended!

Jun: The contents of this mission are... Ahh, so this was one of them, huh?

Subaru: We didn't go this way, right~ 

Sora: It's kinda refreshing seeing what the other teams did~♪

Tatsumi: Oh? It looks like they've already figured out the answer.

Sora: HaHa~! They got it right~♪

Tatsumi: Were they the child actors team? It amazed me to see how capable they were at such a young age.

Jun: Speaking of which, didn't you meet them during the recording, Tatsumi-senpai?

Tatsumi: Yes, right after I parted ways with you all.

They asked me if I had seen the place in a photo, and it happened to be near the shop we were heading to, so I showed them the way.

I never expected that rehearsing for the town walking shoot would be beneficial in such a manner.

In addition to the photo hints, they also had many questions related to the area.

Sora: Yeah! There was a question where you had to guess the name of a famous sweet. It was very tasty~☆

Tatsumi: Fufu. I was surprised to find that when I bought it as a souvenir, Jun-san's group had bought the same thing ♪

Jun: Man, that was so tasty... I'm glad Sakura-kun seemed to like it too.

Subaru: Ah, while we were chatting, our scenes appeared on the screen! 

Sora: HiHi~♪ You went straight to Mido-chan, Sparkling Onii~san~ 

Subaru: It's 'cause I didn’t expect to meet him there. Something about that got me excited, y'know ☆

Sora: Fufu, Sora was happy to meet Mido-chan and the others during the recording too! 

Jun: That's a priceless reaction from Takamine-kun, huh?

…Speakin' of which, what happened to him?

Tatsumi: I tried asking him to watch it together with us, but he refused. 

He did watch the one that was broadcasted the other day, though. 

I've heard that the scene where everyone met up has become quite the talk of the town. The staff was happy about the good advertisement it brought too.

I would like to thank Eichi-san for preparing such a surprise… But I'm not so sure I can celebrate too much after hearing about the final results.

Jun: No, no, it wasn't your fault that we didn't get first place, Tatsumi-senpai! 

Subaru: After this, the kids from the child actors team that Kazehaya-senpai and Takamin met got first place, didn’t they~

Sora: If we had found one more treasure, we would have tied for first place.

But Sora is already happy just getting to treasure hunt with Sparkling Onii~san and Jun-chan-senpai! 

Jun: Haha, if Harukawa-kun, the guy who invited me, is happy with it, then that’s the best, right? 

It's been a while since I've been on a variety show, so it was refreshing ♪

Subaru: Mm hm! It was a lot of fun clearing the different missions~♪

Sora: HuHu~! We made up the best party~ Sora hopes we can go on another adventure together!

Tatsumi: Though it's not a program, I heard that treasure hunt events are held from time to time.

Jun: It could be interesting joining an event like that when I've got the free time, huh? 

Subaru: Great! Next time, let's go with Takamin and Kazehaya-senpai! 

Sora: A new adventure for us~! Sora is really looking forward to it! 

Eichi: Fufu, what's all the excitement about? 

Subaru: Ah, Eichi-senpai! Did you just finish work? Welcome back~! 

Eichi: Yes, I'm back. …Ah, I see. Today is the broadcast of the program. 

Jun: Ahaha, try 'n remember the programs you show up on, won't you~?

Sora: HeHe~! Eichi-senpai, come watch with us~. Sit next to Sora! 

Eichi: Sure. If that's the case, I'll just slip right in, thank you. 

Would you wait a moment while I prepare drinks?

Subaru: Ah, I'll come too~! I'm gonna go and grab some snacks~☆ Do you guys want anything to drink~? 

Subaru: The snacks~… Ah, over here ♪

Eichi: In the end, it looks like that treasure chest was never found, right? 

Subaru: That treasure chest…? 

Ahh, you mean that treasure chest I went looking for? That’s right. 

What’s the matter, why'd you suddenly bring it up?

Eichi: Again, I sincerely apologize for what happened. 

Subaru: Don't be too hung up over it. It's already over, isn't it? 

Besides, you helped us out with the treasure hunt after, didn’t you?

Eichi: I only helped halfway, though. I received an urgent call from the office and had to leave for ES immediately. 

Subaru: That's fine, that's fine. We found two treasure chests before you went back to ES. 

Winning and losing is important, but it's just like Yellow Kid said — I had fun finding the treasure with everyone ♪

Eichi: Yes, I think it was a very fitting job for you guys. 

Subaru: Well, I still think it’s kinda unfair that Eichi-senpai was working with Anzu like that, y'know~?

If the staff hadn't forgotten to put something in that box, Anzu would've still been working with us. 

Eichi: And because of that, you were interrogating Anzu-chan too. 

It was rare to see Anzu-chan so flustered ♪

…Come to think of it, you didn't interrogate me very much at that time, though?

I know you trust Anzu-chan, but I thought that you'd have at least suspected me of being up to something. 

Subaru: If you say it like that, it makes it seem like I don't trust you? 

Eichi: Oh, is that not the case? 

Subaru: Not really? I guess I never figured Eichi-senpai was planning anything bad~

If that had been the case, Anzu wouldn't have been with you. 

Eichi: Well, that's true. …But there was a chance I could have been trying to take advantage of her too, you know.

Subaru: Eichi-senpai, you like plotting all sorts of things behind the scenes, don't you? 

But you’re always thinking of us too, right?

Eichi: ......?

Subaru: You said that you like us, that you love us, didn’t you?

The way you show it is kinda weird, but Eichi-senpai is working for our sake, without a doubt~

That's what I was thinking… Am I wrong? 

Eichi: …Fufu, I see.

That's surprising. I can't believe you were thinking of me in that way.

However, I can't praise you for letting your guard down like that. If you show your back to an opponent like me, you might just find it stabbed, you know? (1)

Subaru: You're admitting that on your own?

…Well, we'll shine so brightly that Eichi-senpai won't have to do that. 

That's what you want the most, right?

Eichi: ......

Subaru: …That's right. Let's go on a variety show together properly.

Trickstar and fine together. Since Trickstar has more experience in this kinda stuff, we'll take the lead ☆

Eichi: That's not really a marketing point of fine's, though…

But if we're with Subaru-kun and the others, fine might be able to shine on the same stage.

With you, who can naturally bring out the individual charm of each idol ♪ (2)

Translation Notes: 1. Eichi brings up the phrase "寝首を掻く" (nekubi wo kaku) which literally means "to cut someone's neck in his/her sleep." In other words, to catch someone off guard by dirty tricks or despicable means. 2. Or rather, Eichi says Subaru can "educe" the individual charm of idols when they're with him.

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 80- Taking Things A Little Further

Chapter Summary: Jennie returns to Korea as BTS prepares for their Festa. Jennie hangs with Big Bang. Jennie comforts Jungkook and calls out the Flower Crew cast for how they mistreated him during filming. JenKook start a Twitch gaming channel together. 

Words: 7,000+

-------

With the guys back in Seoul, they were shooked and happy to see Jennie take so many photos with several celebs.

“Aw~! Munchkin finally got to meet him.” Hobi pointed out the photos with her and Shawn.

"Did he have to hug her so tightly?" Jungkook grumbled, frowning at the hug while the guys laughed and teased him. 

“Look at how big she’s smiling!” Taehyung giggled.

“She’s cheesing, huh?” Yoongi chuckled.

“That smile is so wide. She must’ve been blushing.” Jimin pointed out.

"You think you're gonna lose your girlfriend?" Namjoon teased while the members played along.

"Shut up!" Jungkook whined, trying to hit the guys while they laughed.

“Wow, she met Ludacris and 50 Cent!” Hobi said in awe, pointing at the photos she had taken backstage with all these celebs.

They watched a video of Jennie teaching Ludacris Korean backstage on Billboard’s Twitter.

“So, how do you say it?” Ludacris asked as he tried to say hello in Korean after Jennie repeated the word slowly for him.

The boys laughed at the video and liked his pronunciation of the word.

It seemed like BTS’ name was traveling fast because Jennie was in a lot of videos with several celebs and Billboard staff as she talked about Korean Pop. Which was a great thing as she put out the idea of having K-Pop groups attend Billboard one day.

----

As soon as she arrived back in Korea, she had to go straight to work. Arriving at Big Hit’s building, she went to her studio, quickly changing into her outfit for dance practice. Turning to her desk, she saw smarties and a cute note connected to it. 

Smiling softly, she examined it to see that it was from Jungkook, who drew a small doodle of a bunny and a hamster.

‘I missed you! I hope you had a great flight. Enjoy these. See you at practice. I love you’ – JK

Walking into the dance studio with her gym bag, posing dramatically at the door, she announced, “I’m back~!”

The guys stopped talking and turned to her with bright smiles on their faces. “Jennie~! Yay~!” the members happily cheered and rushed over to her as she laughed.

“Ennie’s back! Ennie’s back!” Taehyung beamed.

“How was the show? We saw all your pictures. It’s like you met everybody,” Namjoon exclaimed.

“How’s Shawn?” Jungkook asked with jealousy, crossing his arms, and making the guys laugh. “You seemed to have a lot of fun with him. Even baked for him, too. When was the last time you baked for me? I’m always up for your baking.”

“Someone’s jealous,” Hobi teased, nudging Jungkook as he playfully hit him back.

"Yeah, Jungkook was complaining a lot when he saw the photos and videos of you and Shawn Mendes," Jimin laughed, throwing him under the bus.

"They have a cute ship name, too!" Jin brought up in a fit of giggles while Jungkook glared at him.

“Oh, would you relax?" Jen giggled at Jungkook. "Shawn has a girlfriend. He told me they're dating privately which is what we're doing. Shawn and I are friends. I think we're going to be the best musical partners going forward when we start collaborating. Anyway, he's great. Everything is great. I'm so glad I went to the show,"

“Angelina was amazing. I had to watch her perform a couple of times. Just wow. Blown away.” Namjoon added.

“Right?! I am so proud of her! She deserves everything!” she went to hug Jungkook who leaned down to kiss her. “So, Silver Spoon, right? And then rehearsing for our Festa?”

“Right on. We’re being filmed for a Bangtan Bomb for this dance practice too,” Hobi added. 

“All right, let’s do this.”

“Let’s have someone take over Hoseok’s dance part at the end of Crow-tit.” Yoongi suggested. 

Hobi agreed since he always did the dance break. After a game of Rock, paper, scissors, Yoongi was the one to lose and would have to do the dance break. As soon as he realized he lost, he dropped to his knees while everyone laughed.

“Yoongi Hyung’s got it!” Jimin cackled.

“I’m glad it ain’t me!” Jen high fived Jimin, celebrating.

After pulling themselves together, they got in position to dance. Jen stood next to Jungkook as their backs were facing the camera and the music came on. Quickly turning around, they shimmy on the beat. As they walked towards the camera, Jen put up three fingers and counted down just before Rapmon began his verse.

They call me baepsae

yokbwatji i sedae

ppalli chase ’em

hwangsae deoge nae garangin taengtaeng

Her weak pelvic thrusts caught the attention of those around her as they laughed at her while she stuck her tongue out. If they don’t leave her alone. Perhaps she’ll just freestyle and shake her ass instead next time.

So call me baepsae

yokbwatji i sedae

ppalli chase ’em

geumsujeoro taeeonan nae seonsaengnim

Moving out of the shot, she watched as Hobi, Jimin, and Jungkook danced. She stood in the background with V and decided to dance with him as they both started to dab and laugh.

alba gamyeon yeoljeongpei

hakgyo gamyeon seonsaengnim

sangsadeureun haengpae

eolloneseon maennal myeot po sedae

Once Rapmon was about to rap, she came back into the picture with him.

rul bakkwo change change

She stood in between Jimin and Rapmon and as she kicked, she put a little bit more fierceness into it as she thrusted her shoulder forward.

hwangsaedeureun wonhae wonhae maintain

geureogeneun an doeji BANG BANG

As they moved around, she stood behind a kneeling Jimin, while Jungkook was next to her as they put up gun signs. Then, she started bodyrolling in sync with him.

igeon jeongsangi anya

igeon jeongsangi anya

Grabbing Jimin’s cap, she took it off his head and placed it on hers instead as he stood up and gave her a playful glare. She stuck her tongue out in response.

ah noryeoknoryeok taryeong jom geumandwo

ah ogeuradeureo nae du sonbaldo

ah noryeok noryeok

She froze with the rest of the members until Jungkook low fived Hobi and they all leaned back in sync.

ah noryeok noryeok

ah noraguna ssaksuga

Standing in the middle while the guys were dancing around, Jen began doing the shmoney dance for fun.

yeoksi hwangsaeya

“silmang an sikyeo.” she lipsynced with Jimin

yeoksi hwangsaeya

“ireum gabt hane.”

Jimin took his cap back and placed it on his head as they danced with each other, rocking to the beat. Then he got to the front as she stood behind him while they all moved their leg up coolly.

yeoksi hwangsaeya

“da haemeogeora.”

yeoksi hwangsaeya

Hwangsaeya

Jumping to the front, J-Hope continued the chorus as Jen put her own flavor into the leaning to the side dance move by looking extra and having a surprised expression on her face.

They call me baepsae

yokbwatji i sedae

ppalli chase ’em

hwangsae deoge nae garangin taengtaeng

Instead of the pelvic thrusting, she decided to shake her ass, which she felt much better doing as she turned around for her butt to face the camera. She got a kick in the butt in response by Jin who wasn’t too happy, which made her laugh.

So call me baebsae

yokbwatji i sedae

ppalli chase ’em

geumsujeoro taeeonan nae seonsaengnim

Swiping Jimin’s cap off his head again, he laughed as he walked out of the shot while Jen stayed to dance around Suga with Rapmon. She decided to copy Rapmon’s moves as he laughed at her.

gyaenen malhaji ‘nae darin baekman buljjari’

Never Never Never

rul bakkwo change change

hwangsaedeureun wonhae wonhae maintain

geureogeneun an doeji BANG BANG

igeon jeongsangi anya

Walking over to the front, she adjusted Jimin’s cap on her head and started to lipsync, “ah noryeoknoryeok taryeong jom geumandwo. ah ogeuradeureo nae du sonbaldo.”

Tapping the side of her shoe, she smoothly leaned back while the rest of the members froze until it was their cue.

“ah noryeok noryeok ah noryeok noryeok. ah noraguna ssaksuga.”

yeoksi hwangsae!

She pointed to Jungkook, who lifted up his leg and arms, pretending to be a bird, with the guys. Jimin started to move past her to the front as they made eye contact and laughed again. She then placed his cap back on his head.

noryeoktaryeong jom geumandwo

ah ogeuradeureo nae du sonbaldo

ah noryeok noryeok ah noryeok noryeok

ah noraguna ssaksuga

Jungkook started doing one of his meme dances which made Jennie laugh as she continued the choreography.

gongpyeonghadani oh are you crazy

ige jeonguirani you mu be kiddin’ me!

You mu be kiddin’ me

you you mu be kiddin’ me!

After he finished lipsyncing, Taehyung jumped on his back and slapped his butt as he walked back to his position.

ah noryeoknoryeok taryeong jom geumandwo

ah ogeuradeureo nae du sonbaldo

ah noryeok noryeok ah noryeok noryeok

Being extra, she decided to lean back farther than usual, which would be a big rewind moment for reactors on YouTube.

ah noraguna ssaksuga

yeoksi hwangsae!

ah ogeuradeureo nae du sonbaldo

ah noryeok noryeok ah noryeok noryeok

“silmang an sikyeo.” Jen and Jimin lipsync again. Jimin decided to copy her shmoney dance as she laughed and did it with him.

urin baepsaeya

“ireumgabthane.”

Afterwards, it was Yoongi’s time to shine as he started twerking with everyone hyping him up.

“WORK!” Jen cheered, laughing with Jimin while Rapmon covered his mouth.

So call me baepsae

yokbwatji i sedae

After the ending pose, Taehyung kicked Hobi’s butt and the recording ended as everyone caught their breath.

Now it was on to practicing for the Festa. The practice room was filled with Hobi’s “Ba bams” and music as he helped Jin with his solo dance while Jimin helped Rapmon with his. V walked around rapping for Cypher Part 3, and Jennie walked around to go over the lyrics for Sunmi’s Full Moon since she’ll be singing and dancing. Including rapping Lena’s part.

Yoongi was with her as he listened closely to her rapping.

“Perfect weather, can get no better,” she rapped smoothly as he nodded. “Everything around us so so real yo. Tonight, it’s the night, boreumdareul jomyeong sama, sarangeul soksagigi ttak joheun bam.”

“geudae soneul japgo Walking on the moon, gutge dachin mun ppajimeobsi yeoreo, oraetdongan gidaryeo watdeon kkum.” she messed up on transitioning back to Sunmi’s verse and stopped singing altogether.

“You sound good, smartie,” Yoongi praised. “Let’s just work on how to control your breathing,”

She needed to make sure her transition from the rap to the chorus wasn’t sloppy as she worked hard on her breath control and timing. Maybe breathing through her nose will help. 

After working on the lyrics, she focused on practicing with Jimin and Jungkook for the Coming of Age Ceremony cover. She swiped Jimin's hat off his head again to wear as they rehearsed. At one point she slut dropped all extra, making the boys laugh at her randomness. 

As the song continued to play, she listened closely to the lyrics. ‘I’m not a little innocent girl anymore, you don’t need to hesitate any longer,’

“Wow, a relatable song to me,” she commented, making Jin stop working on his Festa project.

“What do you mean relatable!?” he called out.

“I was joking,” she quickly replied.

“You better be,” he pointed to her, narrowing his eyes, and making her giggle.

“SKRT!” V shouted on the mic as Cypher pt 3 came on. “SKRT SKRT! SKRT!”

‘This man is a character,’ she thought with a chuckle.

“Hi, Kim Taehyung, I’m so happy I get to rap like this,” he rapped.

On camera, Jennie was standing in the background, smirking at her phone in amusement while nodding her head to his flow. She was going over the lyrics for her performance. 

Jimin’s hat was taken off her head and she looked up to see Jungkook placing his hat on hers instead. It looked like he was a little jealous to see her wearing Jimin’s hat. He planned on leaning down for a kiss but then remembered the camera was on them since Taehyung was rapping in front of them for a Bangtan Bomb. Although it could just be edited, he decided not to take the risk. Instead, he stood with her as they watched him rap.

“Hyung, you really shouldn’t rap,” Jungkook immediately chuckled after he finished the song

“Jungkook.” Jen scolded and turned to V, “Don’t listen to him. I’m your biggest supporter on this no matter what. You killed it. Just keep practicing. Army is going to be excited over it,”

A boxy smile came across V’s face as he looked at her with appreciation.

Later, Jen stared at Yoongi and Hobi wide-eyed and started laughing as they sang dramatically, practicing their cover of Homme’s I Ate Well.

“It’s a big mistake to ask them to do this. I’m extremely good at harmonizing. We should’ve done it together. It’s such a pity.” Rapmon complained.

“AHHHHHHHHHHH~!” Hobi screamed out while singing, causing Jennie to look up from her lyrics, furrowing her eyebrows. The camera caught her reaction and it was sure to become the next K-pop meme as Jungkook and Jin laughed at them.

“Oh yeaaaaaaaaah oooooooohhhhhhhhhh~!” Yoongi sang out

While the guys were doing their own thing, Jennie finally started to practice Sunmi’s Full Moon dance. There was a couch against the wall that she used as she put on the song to practice. Concentration was on her face as she drowned out all distractions to make sure she got this choreography and sensuality right. But Yoongi and Hobi decided to mess with her by sitting next to her on the couch to try to copy her moves. She suppressed a laugh as she continued to dance.

geudaeyeo boreumdari tteuneun nal, nal boreowayo

i bami gagi jeone hae tteugi jeone seodulleojwoyo

As she danced to the chorus, angling her arms up in the air like a moon, Jungkook, Yoongi, and Hobi copied her and pretended to be her backup dancers.

She slowly kneeled and rubbed her hands together.

Eh eh eh eh eh

After practice, Jennie went to meet up with Big Bang as G-Dragon invited her to go eat with them. The excitement in her was building as she made her way to a private section of the restaurant where he was waiting for her.

“Jennie,” his eyes lit up as she went to hug him.

“I missed you! What’s been going on?”

“Touring has been fun. Just enjoying every day. So, does BTS know you’re going to be hanging out with Big Bang?”

She smiled sheepishly, “Not...yet.”

They both laughed.

“I’ll let you be my little secret for a little while longer,” she added. “It’ll be nice if we can all hang out one day. I’m sure the guys would flip.”

As they walked over to the table, Jennie was met by excited smiles from the members.

“Here she is. Miss Jennifer.” G-Dragon announced

“Hey!” she waved excitedly.

“Jennie! Welcome!” Seungri happily greeted which caught her by surprise.

“So, you’re the precious Jennie hyung is always blabbing on about. Nice to finally meet you!” Taeyang smiled.

Jen’s face immediately heated up by the way he was smiling so charmingly. It was surprising to her that they knew her name. Like Big Bang knows who she is!? That’s amazing.

When her eyes met TOP's, she almost fainted.

He smiled softly. "It's nice to finally meet you, Jennie,"

"Oh my gosh, hi~!" she giggled, making the guys laugh at her enthusiasm towards him. 

Taking a seat next to G-Dragon and Seungri, she was welcomed with open arms. She watched the group bicker and crack jokes which made her laugh. It made her think of her bond with BTS and she hoped it would remain as strong as theirs.

“I baked some cookies for you guys! I hope you like them. Thanks for having me here.” she took out her bag and placed it on the table to reveal a big container of various chewy cookies. They immediately thanked her as they looked at the cookies happily.

“I like her even more,” Daesung called out with a laugh, making her smile.

“Oh wow, thank you!” Seungri happily took the container of cookies.

“It’s for all of us,” TOP called out, grabbing a hold of it, and pulling it to him.

“Yeah, bring it to the middle of the table so we can all share,” Taeyang added, bringing it to the table which made Seungri pout. “Jennie, BTS’ fire comeback is very impressive.”

“Thank you, that means so much coming from you. The guys will be stoked to hear about you liking the comeback,” she said. “I have to give thanks to G-Dragon for helping me.”

“Seeing your hard work pay off is great to see. You’re doing well,” G-Dragon praised.

“Speaking of fire, TOP caught me making a dance video about it,” Seungri laughed.

“Oh really?! You have the video?” she eagerly asked while G-Dragon and Daesung snickered at the memory, shaking their heads.

“Way ahead of you,” TOP took out his phone to show the video of him secretly filming Seungri in a dance room, making everyone at the table laugh.

“We should make a dance cover video of fire,” Jen suggested.

Seungri seemed to enjoy the idea and wanted to make plans to film a cover with her for fire soon. 

“How is the idol life for you? Any questions?” Daesung asked.

“Yes. I hate to kill the mood but I feel like you guys are the best to ask about this. Um, how do you guys deal with sasaengs? Because I think I was followed by a few when I went to the billboard awards.” she frowned.

“What happened at Billboard?”

“I just always feel eyes on me. It’s crazy about the idea of being followed. And I hope it doesn’t get worse with family being involved.”

“That’s the worst when they start following our families.” TOP sighed and rubbed his temples. “One thing I recommend is speaking up about it. Call them out. Be stern about it. Enough is enough. Stand up for yourself. And keep Big Hit informed,”

“I will. I've been taking self defense classes, too. So, I do feel good about defending myself if anything comes to that.

“You hear that, hyung? Don’t make her upset or she’ll beat you up,” Seungri teased.

“I wouldn’t do that to you,” Jen reassured TOP, as the members laughed.

“You know with me, I had to move at one point because some crazy girls were hiding around my apartment at night. It was shocking. So, I moved to a more private apartment.” G-Dragon mentioned.

“There are times I can’t even get in,” Taeyang added.

“Just let me know when you visit,”

“I do!” Taeyang turned to Jennie and joked, “I feel like he just doesn’t want to see me,”

“You guys are about to celebrate ten years as a group,” Jen brought up in amazement. “Right now Bangtan and I are focusing on our annual Festa. We’re celebrating three years. Time is flying so fast. I hope that we can last a long time like you. Ten years is astonishing. So much hard work and dedication. It’s inspiring,”

“You will,” G-Dragon predicted. “I can see that BTS has a bond like no other. No matter the hardships, teamwork is how to do it. You made it this far. You’re going to soar.”

“Namjoon always told me teamwork makes the dream work as our fans work with us to be the best that we can be,”

After their lunch, the members posted photos from their outing. Seungri posted a selfie of him gobbling up Jen’s cookies while she pretended to look at him like he was crazy and captioned it, ‘Nice to meet u, Jennie! I’m keeping the cookies hyungs!’

Daesung posted a cute photo of them hugging, 'Nice to meet you, Jennie! Thanks for the cookies! You are going to do well in the industry,'

G-Dragon posted a group photo that they took during the lunch with the caption, ‘Big Bang X JW.’

Taeyang had posted a cute selfie with Jen with the caption, ‘Dope Meeting, congratz’

TOP posted a photo of him and Jennie looking cool for the camera. With the caption, ‘W Jennie’

'God...give me the strength. Because I’m trying my hardest to mature and keep in this frustration. But people keep trying me. #Jen’ Jen tweeted as ARMY commented on asking her if it had something to do with Flower Crew.

Earlier today, she had checked out the first episode of Jungkook staring on Flower Crew while taking a break from shopping. He had been talking about it for weeks and was extremely excited to be able to be on a variety show by himself. She thought it would be an amazing experience for him.

But when she watched the show, things started to go downhill as her blood began to boil. Jungkook bought burgers for the cast and then Jo Se Ho decided to act like an asshole and claim they were leftovers, making Jungkook upset and embarrassed.

An irate Jennie had to go on Twitter to tweet and then begin to type out her rant on her notes to post as photos for Twitter. She knew some would most likely criticize her for speaking about someone older than her in Korea like this but this needed to be said. You shouldn’t treat someone any type of way regardless of age. Her heart ached to watch Jungkook look so bummed and uncomfortable during the show. He did not deserve that.

When she brought it up to the members via text, they immediately went to Jungkook to get him to explain what happened as they all went into full protection mode.

“Why didn’t you tell us about this?” Namjoon asked.

Jungkook cringed at the memory and looked down. “It was embarrassing...”

The guys had sat him down to give him a pep talk and to make him feel better, they went out to treat him to lamb skewers.

Jungkook scrolled through Twitter and noticed a series of new tweets from their account, including Jen’s photos of her rant through her notes. He started to read:

‘With all due respect, what made you think your actions towards my best friend were OK? He’s on his first variety show alone, so excited, and took time out of his day and money to treat you and the rest of the cast to burgers. And you say they’re leftovers? You’ve got to be joking me! That’s not cool, Jo Se Ho. Jungkook is one of the kindest, sweetest souls in this world and for you to treat him like that is revolting. Apologize. Immediately. You lucky I wasn’t on the show because I probably would’ve been criticized and asked to leave after what I would’ve said to you on TV. This is unacceptable behavior. The heck is wrong with you acting like this on TV to someone? Grow up. Encourage us young people, not berate and embarrass us. ARMY, stay away from the cast's social media. This is the first and last time I’m giving this joke of a man the time of day. Don’t attack him online or the rest of the cast. It’s going to give a bad rep. You’re better than this. You do not need to attack anyone on social media, so please chill out, and let’s focus on more positive matters. Let us continue to give Jungkook love and support. Kookie, my Marvel bestie, your banana milk is waiting for you.’

Fans tweeted:

'OMGGG’

'Miss Bangtan said to not attack him online! Respect her request. We are better than this’

'Jennie snapped!’

'Can they date?’

'JenKook RISE! She said what she said!’

'And she’s giving him banana milk. Awwww. Thank you for speaking up Jennie’

'DRAG HIM!’

'Miss Bangtan has spoken! Thank you for being a great friend to Jungkook’

'THIS is friendship. She’s giving him banana milk!’

'I really want them to date. Because that last part was cute af.’

When Jen arrived back at the dorm, she had placed five bottles of banana milk down for Jungkook as he smiled appreciatively. He was then met with a tight hug from her and they stayed like that for a while.

“How are you feeling?” she asked with her head against his chest.

“I’m feeling much better now. Thank you,”

She looked up at him as he looked down with a smile. “Don’t mention it. Don’t let people take advantage of your kindness like that. And don’t let this ruin your variety show experience. He was a big jerk.“

“I won’t. I prefer Running Man. Especially when it’s with you,”

"We’ll be on another episode of Running Man, soon enough, okay?”

“Okay.”

The next morning, Jennie felt like she was about to die as she stayed in bed, clenching her stomach due to the most deadly cramps of the century. Every time she got her period, it was the worst for the first two days and she became a different person. If you say something wrong or look at her the wrong way results may vary when it was that time of the month.

Jungkook had been educating himself on periods and to get somewhat of an understanding of what women go through when it is that time of the month. Lately, he had started to track her period to prepare himself and buy things for her in advance such as a heating pad for her stomach. He even spoke to Jin about it.

The first sign that it was that time of the month was when she was bedridden and irritable. She doesn’t want anyone to bother her, always snaps at people, and tends to pass the time by playing games on her phone and napping. Jungkook didn’t take her irritation to heart, no matter how many times she snapped at him. Although she can be a little scary, he knows she doesn’t mean it. If anything, all he wants to do is cuddle her.

“I don’t care, go away!” she placed a pillow over her head.

Next was her weird food cravings. He would always ask what she wanted to eat. For some reason, she enjoyed eating potatoes and bananas the most while on her period. So, he always made sure to stock up.

One time he had given her smarties since he knew that was her favorite snack. But when she rejected them, that made him Jungshooked.

“Ew, I hate smarties. They’re disgusting. Throw them all way!” she complained.

“Wh-what? But you love smarties!” Jungkook tried to reason.

“Who lied? They’re gross. Throw all of it away. I don’t even want to look at them,”

“O-okay,”

Biggest mistake ever.

Because once she was off her period, she almost tore the entire dorm apart, trying to find her favorite candy.

“B-but you said to throw them away-“

“YOU THREW THEM AWAY!?” Jennie screamed, making him flinch. Jimin, J-Hope and V yelped and took cover, getting as far away from her as possible while Rapmon sat on the couch with his headphones on, oblivious. “WHY DID YOU LISTEN TO ME!? THAT WASN’T ME TALKING!"

He assumed everything she said was literal when she was on her cycle and decided to do whatever she said. But now he knew that if she said to throw away smarties, don’t do it. It was just her crazy hormones talking.

Today, during the first day of her period, Jen was lying in her bed, with a heating pad on her stomach given by Jungkook which had started to help.

“I hate everything...I hate my life. This is the worst. Why? What did we do to deserve this pain?” she complained, hissing at the sharp abdominal pain in her stomach.

She then felt herself get pulled back into a warm chest, getting closely held.

“Go awaaaaaaay~!” she whined, trying to get out of Jungkook’s arms.

“I’m not leaving you.”

“Go play video games with the guys or something.”

“I want to be with you,”

“Well, I don’t right now. I look like shit. I feel like shit. I am shit. Leave.”

“No.” he simply answered.

She sighed and decided to just deal with it, making him smile victoriously. As much as she hated to admit it with her stubborn attitude during her period, lying with him helped tremendously. She hoped he would stay after she woke from her nap.

--------

A few days later, playing video games in her room, Jungkook tried to focus on Overwatch while playing through his aching back. He had strained it when he danced too hard during the fire promotions. He had tried his best to hide it from Jennie. But this time, he got caught as Jen had been observing him for days.

“So, how long are you going to hide that from me?” she called him out.

“Hide what?” he asked innocently.

“Your back. You look like you’re uncomfortable. What happened?”

“It’s nothing. Don’t worry,”

“Kookie, you’re never going to perform your best with that much tension. Stop playing the game for 30 minutes, come here, and lie down on my bed.”

“I-it’s okay. Really,”

“Really? You always ask me for massages. And lately, you haven’t been asking. Why? What’s the problem?”

He started to feel a little fidgety.

‘Because I don’t know if I can control myself with the way you touch me,’ he thought.

Lately, it seemed like his body was reacting much more to her. It was getting to the point where almost every time they made out, his lower region began to have a mind of its own. Sure they did some things during Prom Weekend but he had been trying his best to avoid being extra touchy these days until he could work on his hormones that were running all over the place. And with them not being alone like they were during Prom Weekend, it was getting harder.

Having enough, Jen rolled her eyes and took the controller out of his hands.

“Goodness gracious.” she huffed, exiting out the game

“H-hey! I was in the middle of the game,”

“I don’t care. Lie down. Now. I’m done watching you in pain like this.” she set the controller down and made him lay on his stomach on her bed after taking his shirt off.

“I told you, I’m okay.”

“I don’t want to hear it,” she sat on his behind, rubbing massage oil on her hands, and began working on his back. 

While massaging him, she proceeded to nag him, which he always thought was cute. He had to admit her hands were doing magic as he immediately felt relief from her touch. But his mind started to drift elsewhere as it started to make him feel fidgety again. Once he felt her nails lightly rake his back, his struggle to keep himself together worsened.

His mind went to a suggestive place, as he thought about her underneath him. He didn’t mean for these dirty thoughts to happen but he couldn’t control it. He knew her massaging him was a bad idea.

Did she know how much of an effect she had on him?

How much he was starting to want her?

However, Jennie was starting to feel the same way. His back was so broad as she thought about him pinning her down against the bed. How nice his lips would be against her neck and even lower.

'No, stop.’ she thought, shaking her head as she tried to block the suggestive thoughts out of her mind.

They weren’t alone in the dorm so maybe making out wasn’t the best idea as she thought of the possibility of being walked in on.

After massaging him, she went into her bathroom to wash off the massage oil from her hands.

“See how easy that was? And you feel much better, right? Next time just tell me to massage you. No more waiting that long to be massaged,” she stated. "I hate when you don't tell me that you're in pain. You worry me,"

As soon as she walked out of her bathroom, she was met with his arms pulling her to him for a kiss out of nowhere. It made her stumble back into the bathroom as she kissed back, pulling him closer.

This kiss felt...different.

More frenzied and passionate.

It made her body feel flush as she was backed up to her sink with his hands on it to trap her. 

‘You’re not alone!’ reality hit her which made her reluctantly break the kiss.

“The guys are here,” she reminded him.

“Just for a little bit,” he whispered, ignoring her warning, and leaned back for another smooch.

“Jungkook,” she warned again.

But he kept getting handsy which started to almost make her forget about the guys being here. But clinging onto the last resistance she had, she gently pushed him back.

“I want to. But one of them may walk in. Let’s make out later. Like when everyone is sleeping or something,” she suggested, walking out of the bathroom.

Remaining persistent, Jungkook walked out of her bathroom and shut her door, locking it.

“There, no abrupt interruptions on our alone time,” he shrugged like it was no big deal.

She stared at him in disbelief. He was getting bolder these days. The intense stare coming from him was making her go a little crazy.

“And what if they hear me? I don’t feel like dealing with them teasing us about it for a couple of weeks,”

“I won’t let that happen,”

“Easier said than done with your unpredictability. We shouldn’t.”

He reached out for her but she turned around to avoid another kiss. One more kiss and it was over for her. She needed to stand her ground. There’ll be plenty of more times to make out. 

But her avoidance was short lived when she felt a pair of warm lips on her shoulder blade. Trapped in his arms, she began to feel her legs weaken as she shivered in pleasure when he began to slowly travel up to her neck.

This was so dangerous.

Her eyes closed and she leaned back into him as her breathing quickened.

‘We should stop but this feels so good,’ she thought as she felt a gentle bite on her neck.

“Just five minutes. And then I’ll stop,” he whispered, gently biting her ear.

'Who taught him this?’ she thought, enjoying what he was doing.

Five minutes he said. Maybe five minutes won’t hurt.

Turning around, she wrapped her arms around his neck for a heated kiss, as her desire for him took over. She felt herself being lifted up and moved to her bed as he sat on the edge of it, allowing her to straddle him. Cupping his face, their slow, passionate kisses left her breathless as their need for each other grew. Gripping her hips, he felt her move against his hardness, making him moan out her name.

"Keep your voice down," she whispered.

"I'm trying...you’ve been driving me crazy these past few weeks, you know that?” 

When he said that, she felt this need for him that she couldn’t quite explain. She wanted to go further.

Securely holding her, Jungkook turned them over to place her on the bed as he hovered over her and kissed her again. He then slowly moved down to her neck making her breathing quicken. 

This felt so good. Everything. The way he was touching her. She wanted more.

“You want me to stop?” he whispered in her ear, making her shiver.

Five minutes passed already? She didn’t want this to end. Can’t he keep going and ignore that the time passed?

“I can keep going,” he said like he read her mind. The way she was looking at him gave it away. “But you’re going to have to say it, baby girl,”

'Oh my God, who taught him this? Who is teaching him to say these things? Because this was new and I love it,' she thought.

“Keeping going,” she responded breathlessly as he went back down to her neck.

Suddenly, she let out an unexpected moan when he found a sensitive spot on her neck. She quickly covered her mouth, making him chuckle.

“They definitely heard that,” she exclaimed. “We gonna get caught,”

“No, we won’t, relax. It wasn’t even that loud,”

“To you.”

“It was for my ears only and I’d like to hear it again. Can I try something?”

“Okay,”

“Trust me.” he leaned down to kiss her again, making her forget about her worries. 

He began grinding his hips into hers, making her whimper. She lightly scratched his back in response as she let out another sound. 

Okay, screw it. If they get caught, they get caught. This was feeling all too good right now, it was worth getting caught. She didn’t want to stop as she felt comfortable with him. She can only imagine how it will be when they’re ready to go all the way.

“Jeon Jungkook! I know you're in there!” Jin called out, knocking on the door, and tried to open it but it was locked. "Stop hiding in Jennie's room! I know you pranked me!"

Jungkook sighed out of annoyance, turning his head to the door. He looked down at Jennie to see her chuckling.

“It was nice when it lasted,” she said while he got off her and put his shirt back on. "What did you do to Jin?"

"I put eggs in his laundry. I guess he figured out it was me. I'm gonna hide from him. Don't tell him I'm here," he went under the bed.

That caused Jennie to laugh. She went to open the door to see Jin marching in, looking around.

"Where is this brat?"

"Jungkook isn't here,"

"Are you lying to me?" he crossed his arms.

"No, I haven't seen him all day. Have you checked the laundry room? I did hear him say he was going to wash clothes,"

-------

During the week of the Festa, JenKook had set up everything for the start of their Twitch Stream for Army. They had the equipment set up, everything was recording fine and they sat next to each other in front of the camera. They were located in Jennie’s Smartie factory for the stream.

Jennie tweeted the link, ‘Guess who is streaming!? JenKook’s first episode is here! Click on the link and watch! Let’s have some fun!’

“It’s on~!” she said excitedly

“How many people should we wait for until we start the stream?” he asked, spinning around in his chair.

“W-wow. We already have over 20k.” she looked on in amazement as she peered closely at the viewer count on the screen.

“It’s still growing. Now 70k. Might as well start now.”

Looking at the camera, Jennie smiled, “Yo yo yo! It’s your one and only Miss Bangtan!” she turned to Jungkook, waiting for him to speak but he missed his cue and they ended up laughing. “We’ll work on our intro.”

“Yeah.” he turned to the camera and waved, “Hello! Jungkook here!”

“And we are The Golden Duo! Welcome to our first Twitch stream. You excited?!” she asked the fans who rapidly replied in the comments positively.

“I am. I can’t wait to win,” the Golden Maknae said confidently

“If you win,” she shrugged.

“I will. I win everything,”

“Well, perhaps today is the big day when you lose, my good friend.” she ignored his glare which made viewers laugh and respond with ‘hahas’ and ‘LOLs’. “Today we’re playing...”

“The Impossible Game!” Jungkook announced in English as the game was happily on the screen, waiting to be played.

“How ready are you to get this going?”

“I got this. Let’s play,”

They played a quick game of rock, papers, scissors to determine who would play first. Jungkook managed to win and they launched the game. The music began as the orange square moved at a steady pace. Jungkook effortlessly pressed the spacebar as it jumped over the first triangle. But automatically died when he failed to jump over the second. He paused the game while Jen let out a laugh.

“I got this. I win everything,” she mocked in a deep voice.

“I’m just warming up,” he said, brushing it off.

“Oh, okay. Try it again.” she turned to the camera, “He’s warming guys.”

He tried it again and this time got further as she watched closely. Once the music intensified, the orange square kept moving up the blocks. Jennie danced to the beat, making him laugh and distracting him as he hit a triangle.

“Stop distracting me,”

“What? I didn’t do anything,”

“Stop being cute,” he murmured and tried again.

“Hop...hop...hop...hop again. And again. Hop. Hop. Hop-hop-hop-hop-hop,” she said, following the square’s movements while he concentrated.

He got even farther as he tried again but still couldn’t make it past the part when the beat got higher pitched.

“Okay, my turn!”

“I bet you can’t beat that,” he said confidently.

“I really hope I win so I can see how salty you’re going to look,” she started the game. She made it just before the beat dropped as she felt accomplished. 

Hearing him laugh at her error, she responded, “Okay but I still made it farther than you on my first attempt,”

As she continued, for some reason, she couldn’t get much farther as she kept hitting the spikes. Meanwhile, fans were amused to see Jungkook grinning at her failure.

“CAN YOU JUMP!?” she shouted at the screen after dying again, making him laugh loudly. “Look I’m just-“

PHEW!

“I’m just not concentr-“

PHEW!

“Can I finish my sentence without dying, damn!”

PHEW!

She sighed loudly and paused the game to rub her temples.

Jungkook glanced at her and the screen as a moment of silence occurred.

“You okay?” he teased.

“Shut up. Leave me alone,”

“Let the professionals take over,” he unpaused the game and began to play while she rolled her eyes and watched him. “It’s okay to lose to me. It’s fine. It’s normal.”

“I’m seconds away from hitting you,”

He giggled as he progressed, jumping up the blocks. But then he suddenly died.

“No!” he shouted.

“Let the professionals take over,” she mocked. “It’s okay to lose to me.”

“The keyboard is just glitching,”

“Oh! Blame it on the keyboard. What’s next?”

“Me beating the game before you,” he replied as he got back to the section he stopped at but died again...and again...and again.

The intensity of the game increased as Jungkook began to look more serious while playing, determined to beat the game. Poking the inside of his cheek, his frustration was more visible since he wasn’t progressing further.

He threw his head back and let out a frustrated sigh. “This game is rigged!”

“Is it now?”

“Yeah! I barely touched the triangle and it made me die! It could have let me go by it,” he whined as she let out a giggle. “Is something funny?”

“Yeah, you. My turn,”

She went to play, making the orange cube hop over the dark boxes and triangles with ease. As the beat dropped, the cube continued to make it up to the top without any errors. Jungkook’s smile fell as she progressed past where he stopped and stared at the screen in disbelief. She kept going as he turned to her and then back at the screen.

He went to read the comments:

'Omg look at his face! He’s shooked’

'I love how cute she looks when she’s concentrating,’

The cube hit a triangle and it was back to the beginning as she tried again.

“How!?” Jungkook exclaimed.

“That was luck. I was trying not to freak out as I progressed.”

As she tried it again many more times, she and Jungkook started bouncing in sync to the beat. The block fell down for a moment but then she didn’t notice as it hit the spike and it was back to the beginning, making Jungkook cackle and clap his hands.

“NO~!” she screamed, “NO! ARE YOU-ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?”

“Welp,“

"I’m done. I don’t want to play this anymore. It took me forever to get back to where I was,”

“Yeah, I think we both had enough,” Jungkook chuckled. “Well, it looks like we can’t beat the impossible game today. But we’ll just have to replay it on another stream in the future for round 2,”

Jen went to the stream chat to read a comment, “What game are we playing next? The next game we’re going to check out is Overwatch!”

“We don’t have a date yet for our next stream but just know when we do, we’ll tweet the link,”

“Yeah, so keep a lookout. It can happen any day, any time. All right, that’s all the time we have!” she paused and glanced at Jungkook. “We need to think of an outro too, don’t we?”

“We should think of something cool. Something catchy.”

“Let’s think of ideas later. So for now, we’ll simply say goodbye.”

With Matt Rife who lounged backstage before the show of Wild N' Out, he scrolled through Instagram to see the latest post on Wild N' Out's page. There it had Jennie announcing that she was excited to be a guest on the show in August with Desiigner & Angelina and hoped to take Nick Cannon's belt. 

"Damn..." Matt said as he scrolled through her Instagram page. "This girl is going to be on the show?"

He continued to lurk through her page, liking tons of posts.

“Damn...she is cute,” he said and followed her. 

On Instagram’s following tab where you can see the activity of the people you follow, BTS fans who watch Wild ’n’ Out and check who Jennie is following and who is following her noticed that Matt had followed her.

Mattrife started following JJennie_JW

They even noticed his comment on her recent photo. A simple eye emoji with a smirking emoji.

Fans immediately jumped on the situation and began commenting and making Twitter threads to bring awareness to who he was and the whole Zendaya situation back in 2015.

‘GUYS! WE HAVE A SITUATION!’

‘Matt Rife followed Jennie!’

'They can never make me hate Matt. Shoot your shot!'

'White boys be loving some Jennie I swear lmfaoooo'

'Oh God...Jennie run. Run now run fast’

'Ew wtf he better unfollow her!’

'Stay away from her!’

'He bet not be trying to make a move because Jennie belongs to Bam Bam’

'He is not ruining my ship.’

'That is Shawn Mendes' future girlfriend! He better stop!'

‘Omgg lmaooo she’s going to turn you down’

'I don’t blame him for trying to shoot his shot’

‘Oh, he is handsome! Who is he!?’

'Get in line pal! A lot of people want her’

'He outta pocket for that comment ctfuu’

'Lol goofy’

'Jennie is single! So why not? He’s cute!’

'She single Matt! Make a move!’

‘Date!!’

'I honestly would not turn him down.’

“Whatever you thinking, don’t do it, man,” Nick Cannon warned with an amused voice.

“Do what? I’m not going to do anything,” Matt replied with a shrug.

“Nah dawg, you going to do some stupid shit on the day they come to the show,” Conceited joined in.

“What he tryna do?” Justina asked, interested in the conversation.

“He drooling over one of our upcoming guests’ IG page,” Nick informed her.

Justina rolled her eyes, “Here he goes,”

“What? I just wanna get her number. Come on! You guys can’t deny we’d make a great couple. She is fine as hell. Look at her. Look at them lips. It would fit perfectly on mine,” Matt rambled which made his cast members laugh at him. “You guys are some haters,”

“This is Zendaya all over again,” D.C Young Fly cackled.

“Matt, there is no way in hell Jennie is going to give you the time of day,” Nick guaranteed.

“You don’t know that,” Matt denied.

“Come on, Jen ain’t going to fall for just some white boy looks and so-called charm from yo ass,”

“Ain’t she in some Korean group?” Chicobean pointed out.

“Yeah, I heard that. What they called?” Justina asked.

“Bangtang or somethin’?” D.C called out.

“No, BTS,” Nick answered. “Seven guys and her in that group. Matt, do you really want to get yo’ ass beat by them boys if you try to make a move on her during the show?"

“They ain’t gonna touch me. I ain’t scared of them,” Matt said confidently, “Look I'ma make my move. I got this. You’ll see. I’ll definitely be getting her number. August can't get here fast enough,"

“He a lost cause. He gonna get embarrassed,” Chicobean laughed with D.C.

“Yeah, I know. And watch them Korean boys pop up on the show and say it’s on sight,“ Conceited predicted. "We ain’t helping you out. You on your own,”

Ignoring everyone, Matt went back on Instagram to look through her page and slid in her DMs.

just thought id post some of the creative process behind the design of my characters costume, child in eurydice (by the wonderful sarah ruhl)

↑↑↑ since it's already been a couple of weeks into rehearsal by that point & the fact that the cast have creative freedom of their characters design, i created a sort of inspo board (made from images found on Pinterest) and showed it to the director & costume designer. they not only loved the fact i created a board but also loved the designs i had in mind.

ive researched other productions and wanted to do something different from the cartoonish cap, oversized shorts, suspenders, & high socks i often saw. eurydice takes place in the 40-60s era and my vision of the character was an unsettling uncanny sailor boy. the child is the same person, or more so a different side of the same coin, as the interesting man. apparently they both had envisioned for the man to have a navy suit so the sailor boy coupled w that fit perfectly. it sort of gave off a " the grown up " version vibe. Now with a more concrete design, our costume designer went online shopping and personally asked us what we'd like to purchase :D

First Photo — First draft, it's out of view but my pants were on the floor and the sweater vest seen on me was tight >_<

Second Photo — The Final <3 All the pieces were sewn so that they'd still be a little oversized but not on the floor. Gold Buttons were added & I got a cute collar n_n The shoes were found in our theaters infamous " hot box " and it took me hours to find the full pair.

I was also given freedom on what to do with my makeup! I'm already somewhat experienced in theatre makeup & was able to do it myself. I used a brown eyeliner to draw / accentuate the aegyo and widen my eyes with a white pencil to make me look 👁️‍🗨️👁️‍🗨️ like I was always staring in awe. I used a liquid cool pink blush to exaggerate the redness of my nose and the apples of my cheeks. I then used a brown liner to draw upper corners of my mouth to make it look like I was always smiling. The result was. Uncanny. Very uncanny valley. My cast members were very put off by it XD (success!) For the 'manchild' scene, I used some contour and power to darken my features and look similar to my counterpart. I even slathered a fake stubble / 5 O Clock shadow on!

I did NOT need to write that much but I love the creative process behind every decision in theatre, and I'm glad we were given a lot of freedom with our characters design. Being able to express our vision allowed a very whimsical production and im overall super happy with the show. I'm so grateful to be able to contribute my ideas like this. I love my silly creepy LORD OF THE UNDERWORLD tricycle riding freak.

Ace Attorney Case 3 Thoughts:

Coming into this case I had 0 expectations, and I was actually pleased with it. This case placed a big emphasis on the exploration of its setting, in this instance, the studio, its lots, and the dressing room. This change caught me off guard at first, I'm not particularly used to backtracking or returning to areas that I had explored previously. But in this case, it proved important to do so, revisiting the dressing room to find Sal, and coming back to the employee area to find Cody. After a bit of trial and error (sad to admit that I got lost for like 5 minutes before I returned to the dressing room to find Sal) I eventually got used to the notion of having to check locations multiple times.

A comment in my last post let me know that some people believed this case unnecessary. I had a lot of fun with it, this is not to say it's without its problems which I will get into later on. Despite the issues, the case felt like a wild ride in which I had to constantly guess the killer and the possible motives for the killing. This feeling kept me on my toes throughout the course of the case. My initial guess which I thought would make the killer a bit too obvious was Penny. When given the security cam photo of the suspected killer the first thing I noted was the pants dragging. Subjectively speaking I feel like other people must've had the same thought as I did. Instead, the game emphasized the leg dragging behind which would indicate Powers due to his ankle injury. Even though my initial thought was incorrect I found the usage of the limp to more than make up for my surprise. The writing in terms of the limp was great, it made it so technically only people at the rehearsal could imitate Powers, narrowing it down to 4 people who could don the suit, Powers, Vasquez, Oldbag, and Hammer (which at the time would seem unthinkable). With Oldbag getting ruled out early on the rest of our focus pivots to the rest of the people in the room. Unlike the 1st and 2nd trials, the vast variety of possible suspects made the case really thrilling. Having to narrow down possible suspects one by one is something I hope returns in future cases. (I for a split second thought it might've been the kid but that would be too dark for this game..... surely.)

The most interesting portion for me, well portions, for me were 1. Hammer being the "killer" and 2. THE DANG TBONE STEAKS. First off my thoughts on Hammer, his storyline is actually a bit sad, someone who was accidentally involved in a tragedy. In the world, emphatically we can understand why he chose to try and kill Vasquez, he had been held hostage for 5 years, for something completely out of his control, a freak accident. This turmoil and anger caused him to stoop as low as to possibly implicate Powers in the murder, essentially ruining an innocent person's life. I found this fact ironic because it similarly mirrors his own situation, ruining one's life for a death they did not cause. It's easy to say he's in the wrong (which he is) but at the same time, grief and sadness can cause people to do things they normally would never think of doing. I thought the twist of having him be an attempted murderer to be super interesting, something I thought wasn't possible or plausible coming into this case. Now going into the real important tidbit, the T-bone steaks in what world would anyone expect T-bone steaks to be vital information in a court case, not to be used only once but twice... When I first entered the employee's area I was a bit befuddled as to why they specified the steaks to be T-bones, I laughed it off musing to myself "Surely they aren't important". When I first entered studio 2 and saw the plates it hit me "huh no bones". At that point, I knew that somehow as some absurd affront to God, the T-bones became VITAL to the case. (I'm so so so glad that the game made reference to them somehow eating the bones as well it's so funny)

Before I get into the gripes I had about the case I wanted to go over my thoughts on Edgeworth turning a new leaf. In my last post, I talked about how his methodology seemed cold but fair, and how I wanted to get more insight into his character. This case delivered in this aspect, with him taking a 180 and pulling back once he realized Phoenix was about to lose his chance at fully freeing Powers of his indictment. My personal canon built in my mind from only knowing Edgeworth from two cases is that he had built his career on always attaining a guilty verdict. Without much care for right or wrong, he simply pursued his role in the court. After his last run-in with Phoenix, I suspect his view had changed, the realization that he potentially could've ruined the lives of both Wright and Maya, their innocence, and his subsequent loss in the previous trial would cause him to rethink his outlook on his role as a prosecutor. I suppose future cases will go further in-depth to explain this because as with Phoenix and the rest of the jury, it seemingly came out of left-field leaving us wondering why Edgeworth would risk his own job to protect the defense. Gumshoe also has a minor redemption in the form of protecting Maya and Phoenix from getting wiped by the mafia which I thought was a fun little bit.

Now as for my problems with this case, I mainly only have two, 1 Being Sal as a whole, and 2 the aftermath of the case especially pertaining to Vasquez. I'll start off with Vasquez, I'm no lawyer but in my eyes, she is liable for multiple very serious offenses, namely the covering up of the truth of events in a death 5 years past, and her involvement with the mafia. She had also recently killed an individual in self-defense, as well as almost going through with the murder of a 17-year-old and a defense attorney, with Gumshoe being a witness in the latter incident. I'm left wondering if I had missed something in the aftermath of what happened to Vasquez, or possibly it just being something that's left up to the imagination. It's not entirely out of the picture that I'll get a follow-up to the case in the future, all I can really do is wait and see.

Now on to my main problem Sal, now without mincing words or tip-toeing around it, he's just weird and unnecessary. We see this type of character pop up a lot in media, the pervy nerd, a lot of the time I'm left wondering why they exist. I've played a couple other similar games to AA namely AITSF, the Zero Escape series, and Dangan Ronpa and they all to some extent suffer from similar archetypes with the severity ranging from title to title. My problem with the character kind of starts and ends with my initial statement, he isn't necessary to the plot and just kind of comes off as a pervert as some sort of comedic punch. I understand that it's most likely a case of something not aging well, with the game being originally released back in 2001, but even back then I would've been disappointed with him as a character. I found this trial to have a large cast of characters/suspects, all having their own possible motives, and I found each of them to be interesting, having a part in the greater narrative of the case. I feel like they could've done so much more with the role of the producer, especially since he's seemingly overworked and/or being pushed around by Vasquez. I think my disappointment comes from that, him being an unlikeable character, on top of the potential of the role his character could've played, which just left a bad taste in my mouth. It's not to say he completely ruins the case, It's precisely because it's a good case that I have such a problem with him.

Before I close off I wanted to say I really liked Penny and I'm glad she wasn't the killer or anything despite my initial thoughts (the pants sagging in the security photo made me think someone of her stature could've been wearing it...) Overall thought this was a good case, which gives us more insight into the cast, as well as providing more depth to Edgeworth's role in the game. I do in the future hope to get Maya more involved, as of now it seems that Mia is too big of a crutch still for Phoenix, but I fully expect them to tackle this later on. Thank you to anyone who read this far, I would like to note that I'm not a good writer and this post is probably evidence of that. Just a lot of mindless rambling, but I do find it very fun to be able to summarize my thoughts and put them to text, which in turn makes the game more enjoyable for me. I'll probably try to cut down the writing in future posts this one was really long for no reason. Anyways gotta go buy a tbonesteak or something i needa know what all the fuss is about...

The beginning pt. 10 ~~ Paul Landers

This photo of the boys got me deaaaaddd. Damn......

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as i like to write it.

That morning

You woke up with an empty spot next to you in bed. You saw a note on Paul's pillow and you opened it. ''hey baby, i got up early for a meeting with the boys and rehearsal. Didn't want to wake you. See you soon'' and at the end he draw a heart. You smiled to yourself before getting a quick shower and putting your clothes on. You had a crew shirt you put on and wore a skirt under it with your Vans.

When you walked out of your hotelroom you almost crashed into Jessica. '' God, you scared me'' i laughed and she giggled. ''Sorry, wanna grab some breakfast and then go to work?'' You nodded and you grabbed breakfast before you entered the Arena. ''Wow'' you said and your eyes grew big. ''This is so awesome'' Jessica said and you agreed. At that moment Till fired his fire launcher '' ''Fuck'' you yelled before realising what was happening. ''Omg, that was what Till was talking about. ''From now on, everything will be next level'' Jessica said and i nodded. Then someone from the crew came to us and told us that the boxes with merchandise was delivered and you could pick it up with a golf car. '' Oh i'm riding for sure!'' you said and run to the cart. ''Sometimes you are still a little child'' ''Yep'' you said with a smile from ear to ear. You had to drive a couple of times to get all the boxes and you were really glad the concert was tomorrow . You had a LOT of merchandise. Really cool stuff. You sorted everything out and hang some things and made the cash register ready. You picked a really cool bracelet and put money in the cash register. ''That one i'm gonna wear'' You put in on and you smiled. You still couldn't really believe al of this was happening. When you were all done with the merchandise , you walked to the bar and asked if they needed any help. They did so you and Jessica helped out. The bar was near by the stage so when you where working there you could see the boys rehears. You sing a long to some of the songs you knew and danced funny with Jessica. After a while you were done and walked to the golf cart where Jessica sat behind the wheel. ''Am i going to die?'' ''Shut up, i'm not THAT bad at driving. You laughed, ''Well on that subject we do not agree'' She stuck out her tongue and the both of you laughed. '' Tell me'' she said ''How was your night? You made a lot of noise'' she laughed and your cheeks went red. '' Omg, i swear, i never had such amazing sex in my life'' you said and she smiled. ''I'm happy for you'' she said smiling and you smirked. ''How about you sweetheart?'' ''Oh, don't get me started, that man is so damn sexy'' You snorted from laughing. She was obsessed with Richard. You could understand because he was handsome. Well, not as handsome as Paul ofcourse but hey. ''Shall we go to the canteen? I',m hungry as hell' She than said and you nodded. '' I'm starving to'' Jessica rode through the halls of the Arena an suddenly we saw the boys walking. ''Let's scare them'' You said and Jessica smirked. She slowed down and drove very softly behind the boys who were busy talking and pressed the horn. Flake, Paul, Richard and Christoph jumped. Olli and Till just turned around. It was really funny to see and you bursted out laughing. Jessica hung over the handlebars screaming with laughter and you had to hold on to the frame of the cart to keep from falling out. Tears rolling down your cheeks from laughing. ''This is how you greet your boyfriend who had practice really hard?'' Paul laughed while you dried your tears. '' Sorry babe, but you reaction was priceless'' He smiled and reached out to give you a kiss. Your hand caressed his cheek and you kissed him. ''Did it go well?'' you asked and he nodded. ''Where are you going? Till said as he squeezed between Jessica and me and put a arm around us. ''To the canteen, hop in guys'' Jessica said and Olli throw himself into the golf cart. ''Olli, are you okay?'' you laughed and he nodded. Christoph and Flake sat beside him and Richard and Paul were hanging on the side. '' Jessica, if you dont watch out, you will kill Richard and Paul'' you laughed and she rolled her eyes. Till grinned while you drove to the canteen.

( and Tumblrs being a bitch again about the limit of words -_-

Suck my d!ck. Part 11 is coming op!

Hamamatsu Refresh Diaries Part One Yumigeta Ako (23.11.08)

Good evening🌛

I'm Yumigeta Ako 🛑

I have lots of photos I want to post and things I want to say in today's blog so I'll split it into Part One and Part Two♡

Thank you very much for your comments yesterday！

Thank you very much、for watching UtaCon！

You said my Suggoi face was cuteー It was funnyー which made me happy！

I took my chance and made the most of it🤣

I gave it my all in rehearsals tooー！

...

Also today!

School finished at midday！

So I visited my birthplace… Hamamatsu

And went to 【Fruit Park】‼️‼️

（Cameraman：Mama）

That's right、I was born in Hamamatsu〜

I grew up in Hamamatsu until I was in kindergarten！

It was amazing…

My first visit to Fruit Park in about a year‼️

I went last winter to see the illuminations and water show with my familyー

But I couldn't go fruit picking that time‼️

So today I felt refreshed＆got my revenge〜♪

We picked kiwis🥝🥝🥝

I never knew kiwis grew like this〜！

It thought they'd be kinda like how pineapples grow so I was amazed🍍

We picked 28 of them〜✨️

🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝🥝

（Cameraman：Mama）

Plus the kiwi staff said 「There are all these different varieties of kiwi〜」

They showed us 3 different types！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！

Then we went to a suspension bridge type place‼️

The kiwi staff told us 「If you take this path the sunset looks really beautiful from the suspension bridge」 so me and Mama took a different route back than usual‼️

It was amaaaazing‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

It was suーper beautiful‼️‼️‼️

Plus since it was a weekday there was no one there except for me and Mama so we got to take lots of photos without worrying about the people around us📸

I did some bold poses too、yaーyᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟ

I also slid down a huge pineapple slide！

I haven't gone down a slide in absolutely ages！！！！

It was so tall it was like a thrill ride〜

I'm scared of heights so I don't ride roller-coasters or anything but this was perfect for me！

It was scary but in a fun way！

I went down it twice！

And And、we saw a snake on our way home！

It's only my 3rd time ever seeing a wild snake！

We were driving past paddy fields when we saw it、so me and Mama were like woahー

And then I saw another snake‼️

Plus it was all coiled up！But Mama didn't see that one…

We were unreasonably excited about that so we did a U turn and went back to that same spot once more…

But it was just a manhole cover…

That's so embarrassing… My brain went

🐍🟰🕳️🚶

I was so upset…

I'll be more observant so that I don't shout 「It's a snake！」 every time I see a manhole cover in the future…

⋆┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋆

Well then it's time for today's 【Gettaa Life】✨

Today I saw my grandad and grandma‼️

I saw both Mama's parents and Papa's parents！

I haven't seen my grandad and grandma on Mama's side since I joined Morning Musume。so I was super happy to see them！

We ate dinner together but I was talking so much I can't remember what it tasted like… We had sashimi and hamburg steak and salad and grilled shiitake mushroom steak and soup…

Which is to say I ate a lot、and it was delicious‼️

I talked lots with grandma and grandad on Papa's side！We didn't have much time and I won't be able to see them for a while now because rehearsals are starting so I'm glad I got to see them briefly today！

They also watched UtaCon！

I felt comforted that they're watching over me〜☺️

Everyone seemed well too which made me feel relievedー‼️

I feel like my grandparents never age so I remember them looking the same as they did when I was in 2nd grade

So I was surprised when I calculated their ages again today…

I dunno when I'll next be able to see them so I felt like I needed to talk with them more while I have the chance！

So today I chatted quite a lot‼️

...

We also shared some of the kiwis we picked at Fruit Park with them🥝 They seemed happy！

Talking with my grandparents really is fun…

I felt really relaxed (*^^*)

Next time I want to sleep over〜

I hope they stay healthy through the cold winter to！

I Getted 「Heart Warming Moments」✨

...

My grandparents also gave me candy and unagi pie and tea and lots of mikans🍊🍭🍵

I realised I really am a Shizuoka girl at heart…😁

...

T/N News and information has not been translated

⋆┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋆

We're currently in the car driving home from my grandparent's house、

And I've just seen the first star of tonight and it was super pretty〜✨

Why is it that when you look at the night sky you can't see any starts but once you spot one you suddenly see loads more？！

I wonder why…？

I currently can see 3 stars our of the car window。

My goal is to see 10 starts but I'm currently failing Ahーhh

Well then I'll see you tomorrow！

This has been YumiGettaa Ako！Good night🐔🐔🐔

The end！

[the-music-keeper]

J-M-U, I missed you.

The first picture is the view from my hotel. It's the first time I've ever gotten to stay on the top floor!

The second picture is the view of the Quad on day 2 of my visit (with the Music Building peeking out from behind the trees on the left side of the photo). It was so cloudy most of the day but it thankfully didn't rain until after I got back to the hotel.

Anyway. My visit was fantastic. I'm so glad I went during the week this time -- I got to drop in on SO many of my former professors and even sit in on one of Dr. V.'s UCSA rehearsals (Y'ALL I HAVE MISSED THAT CHOIR SO MUCH), and two students I got to know my last semester were BOTH serving as student conductors this semester, so that was very exciting to watch. I had lunch with many of my old friends who are still at JMU. (Got to see my friend's aesthetic desk setup in person when we went back to her apartment so she could get her computer -- I'd seen it in her Instagram stories but it was something else seeing it in person.) And OBVIOUSLY Dr. Piitz was one of the first people I saw. I arrived on Sunday and was lucky enough to get early check-in, and an hour and a half later I was embracing my dear mentor just inside the door of my favorite restaurant in Harrisonburg. Cloud nine, all the way around.

(There was one professor I'd really wanted to see that I didn't get to because he was sick (I'd planned a whole classroom stakeout and everything), but the day I went back to DC he FINALLY responded to the emails I'd sent him. So he and I got to talk on the phone today, and that was still very, very meaningful. It was so good to hear his voice -- it'd been almost two years since I'd seen him or heard from him at all.)

Good evening！I'm Matsumoto Wakana 🙉

Thank you very much for your comments 😊

I went to Tabekko Doubutsu LAND with Kawamura-san〜🦁🎡

It opened a little while ago、and we've been talking about wanting to go for ages、so I'm glad we could go😚

There were lots of photo spots、and being surrounded 360 by Tabekko Doubutsu made me so happy〜🤍

And！This time、we got to meet Lion-san and Chick-san！！！

They were super duper friendly and cute 😍

There was a lottery for a cheki shoot with them、which we didn't win、so I'm glad we could still greet them！

Cat-san cake and cream soda ♡

The Rabbit-san cream soda was white which was fun！

It was fizzy and delicious😋🫧

I took loads and loads more photos、so I'll upload them another tiーme！

Hina Fes Kamikokuryo Moe (23.04.04)

It was a couple of days ago、

But thank you very much for Hina Fes🌸

I was pretty nervous for my solo so it all ended really quickly。

It was fun～☺️

Calls will no longer be prohibited soon、so I kept thinking about how fun it'd be to hear the calls for this song！

I hope I can sing it again somewhere someday！

Everyone thank you very much for your support！！

And Kiki-chan！！

Congrats on your graduation💐💗

She wrote a message on the whiteboard in front of the dressing room 🥺

She was cute until the veーーーーry end💗

Hearing Kiki-chan's words、and the words from everyone in Tsubaki Factory I could really sense their relationship、and I really got a sense of how much she's overcome。。

Saorin's

I'm glad we were rivals。

These words of hers were so good 🥹🥹

We didn't have much time for rehearsals、and having Hina Fes too must have made it really hard。

But even so Tsubaki Factory's live was super duper cool！！！❤️‍🔥

Chel said let's take a photo together！📸！

I'm so glad！

Kiki-chan is always kind and cool、I really love her！！

Yet another member I'm close to has graduated which is sad、

But even so I was to tell Kiki-chan

Go out there and have fun！！

I hope that Kiki-chan's life、

Continues to be wonderful from here on too 🍀︎✨

See ya！

Today we had a dress rehearsal for our Spring Tour〜！

I'm so tireddddd🫠

This tour is really fierce 😂

We're doing more powerful songs than usual

So I'm kind of wondering if my stamina is enough

I think I'll be fine but I'm not entirely sure…

Actually I really don't have enough stamina。。。

I've never sweat so much in my life！😂

But when I think of you all having fun with us

I can keep working hard〜💓💓💓

Today I'll get everything straight in my head

And do my best for the opening day💓

🎀Miimi Talk🎀

Landcaster Legacy Gen 7 Update #28

Dear Diary, My Mom wants to have a girl's afternoon when I get done with school today. I'm actually pretty excited for it, believe it or not. We used to do this kind of thing all the time back when we lived in Sulani. It will be nice to have some mother daughter time. -Violet

"This is nice," Violet sighed as she let the nail technician work on her manicure. "I've been needing new nails for a while." "I'm glad you agreed to do this with me," Mads replied. "How is everything going with your band?" "Pretty good, Janie is looking for a gig for us to play"

"And Noel says we should record a demo, maybe get the attention of a few music producers," Violet explained to her mother. "That all sounds wonderful," Mads replied encouragingly. "Just let us know when your next show is, your father and I would love to see you perform." "Deal."

Both Mads and Violet felt pretty happy with their manicures.

After their manicures Violet and Mads decided to head outside for a chat. Since it had started to snow, they had to change into their cold weather outfits. "I've missed spending time like this with you," Mads admitted. "Me too," Violet agreed, and Mads pulled her in for a hug.

Violet suggested they take some selfies to commemorate the day, and Mads was pleased her daughter didn't seem embarrassed to be in a photo with her. "So," Mads began to ask after their photo. "Tell me about Janie."

"Wel," Violet began. "We have a lot of similar interests, so it's nice to be with someone who likes all the same things you do. She's super talented on the guitar, and I don't know I just really like her" "I'd love to meet her," Mads suggested. "Invite her over for dinner Sunday"

"Actually, I wanted to have the Wilkes family over for dinner Sunday as well," Mads explained. "We haven't met Nat's baby girl yet, actually I'm pretty sure the watcher aged her up into a toddler. We could turn the whole event into one big dinner party. Leo could invite Sofia."

"Sofia broke up with Leo," Violet told mads. "What, when?" "This morning I think," Violet explained. "It was all over school. He didn't seem to upset, I asked him about it at lunch and he just said now he can focus on his grades more." "I guess if that's what he wants."

"I actually have an idea," Violet said. "On the way home, we should stop at that flower shop and pick up some flowers to gift to Lacy on opening night." "That sounds like a great idea," Mads grinned. "I think she'd really like that."

When Lacy got home from dress rehearsal that night, all she wanted to do was curl up into a ball and cry. She didn't know what she'd been expecting, rejecting Owen like that, but she'd hope they could remain friends. "Literally what are you doing?" Violet asked.

Lacy lifted her head, "Owen asked me out and-" "I'm so sorry," Violet cut her off. "That must have been terrible." "Except it wasn't," Lacy told her. "I like him." "Why?" Violet asked confused. "I don't know, I just do." "Then what's the problem?" "Me, I'm the problem."

Violet made Lacy get up and sit with her on the couch. Lacy explained to Violet how she tends to ruin every good thing that happens to her. "Don't ruin this then," Violet said unsure. She really wasn't good at comforting people. "I will, but I don't want to hurt him"

"I think it'd hurt more if you were to stay friends," Violet pointed out. "He'll constantly be reminded about how you rejected him." "So I just shouldn't see him anymore?" "Or go out with him but don't ruin it" "You're a huge help," Lacy said sarcastically. "I'm going downstairs"

Violet was going to follow Lacy, to try and comfort her more, but then her phone rang with a call from Janie. "Hey!" she exclaimed. "I have great news!" Janie's voice was filled with excitement. "Lila found us another gig to play!" "You're joking!" Violet said is disbelief "When"

"This Friday," Janie told her. "This Friday?" Violet's voice fell. "Can we reschedule, that's the night of Lacy's play. I'm actually really excited to go." "We can't reschedule," Janie told her defensively. "Lie, tell your parents you're sick and can't go to Lacy's play."

"I'm so sick of lying, Janie," Violet explained. "I'm sick of being grounded, of my parents always being mad at me. I actually had a really good time with my mom today, and I think we're getting to a good place." "For fucks sake, Violet really?" Janie said clearly irritated.

"I really hate to say this, Violet," Janie said. "I won't be speaking to you unless you come to the gig on Friday." "You can't be serious." "I have no other choice; you clearly don't understand how important this is. I love you, and I need you there with me," Janie hung up.
