The Bangtan Gal Chapter 79- Meeting Shawn Mendes
Chapter Summary: BTS film for Running Man again. Jennie goes back to America for interviews with Buzzfeed and iHeartRadio. She supports and joins Angelina for the BBMAs and finally meets her celeb crush, Shawn Mendes.
Words: 14,000+
Author's Note: New Jennie Ship! Jen and Shawn Mendes (Shawnnie) Pretty cute. In case you need reminding, this is still a Jungkook x Jennie (OC) story lol.
You know how artists have some people they always collab with? These two are going to collab often. And when she releases her solo work, he'll have a feature. I see people always anticipating them working together and ranking their favorite songs.
-----
After coming back from Prom Weekend, Jen goes to catch up with Amber at her place. Jen was happy to be a part of her next vlog for her YouTube channel and went with her to work out at the gym.
The female member of Bangtan took off her jacket to reveal her sports bra and defining muscles on her upper body.
“Wow, look at my mom. Those abs are getting defined!” Amber did a close up of her stomach, making Jen laugh. Setting the camera down to film them stretch, she asked, “You excited about the Billboard Awards?”
“Oh yeah! I am so stoked! Despite some of the negative feedback that I’ve been hit with, I just hope that I can put in a good word for BTS as I try to promote us as a group and support Angelina. I love to network so I'm sure I can do my best to talk about K-Pop,"
“Right, I saw that. Ugh, keep ignoring it like you usually do. It's so rude of these so-called supporters of BTS to question why you’re going and not the rest of the group. It’s like they hate the things you do that have nothing to do with the group. You're going to support your friend. Angelina is always asking for you to join her. It's so nice of Big Hit to allow you to,"
“Yeah, I'm so grateful. I won't take it for granted. It'd be dope if BTS could attend the Billboard Awards together. A Korean group at that show? That'd be huge! I hope we can accomplish that one day...to be able to go home and be standing with my boys as we perform and do our thing...what a dream. I hope we can do more in America. I miss performing at home,"
“Speak it into existence! I can just see you now, looking all cute and dolled up for Billboard. BTS at the show would be a huge deal. Never say never. What are you wearing?”
“Angelina and I are going to color coordinate. I’ll be wearing white while she will be wearing black. She doesn’t like going alone to award shows since she’ll get bored easily. But if a friend, like me, was with her, she’d have a better time.”
"Aw, cute. Do you think you’re going to meet you know who?” Amber teased as Jen's mind went to the man she knew she was talking about.
A nervous chuckle escaped her. “Ah...I hope I meet Shawn.”
Jennie just hoped she does not freeze when she was face to face with that man. Someone she admires and wants to work with. If she was freaking out about him noticing her online, she doesn’t know what she is going to do when she sees him on the pink carpet. She must keep her composure.
After stretching, Amber began to play on her phone until Jen took it away.
“Woman, get off your phone. Time to work.” she placed it down and walked over to the punching bag after wrapping her hands in tape.
“Can’t I just look at my messages?” Amber whined
“Nope. Let’s work.”
She sighed. “Fine Mom.”
A laugh escaped Jen as she waited for Amber to hold the punching bag for her.
“I love using this. It makes me release so much stress.” Jen pounded her fist against her palm a few times and began to strike the bag.
“Think of this thing as something that stole your smarties,” Amber suggested.
Out of nowhere, Jen kicked the punching bag hard and Amber dramatically fell to the floor. Gasping and placing her hands against her mouth, Jen rushed down to help her.
"Crap! Are you okay!?”
But then she heard her laugh and watched her get up with ease. “The look on your face was priceless. I’m fine.”
“I hate when you do that.” she playfully punched her shoulder. After her session of kicks and punches, Jen held the bag for her while Amber began punching it. “How’s Jack Jack?"
"Adorable and goofy as ever. We need to set up a playdate with Tony.”
“Tony would love Jack Jack. He is so friendly with everyone. I think he’s starting to get closer to V.”
“Uh oh. V is taking over now. You know how he gets when it comes to animals and babies. How is his drama going?”
“He is so happy and making a lot of friends. A social butterfly. To see him work so hard and do well in his scenes makes me a proud sister. I’ve been helping him a lot on his script and he seems to be feeling more comfortable with himself.”
"As he should! Wow, and can you believe that next year you are going to graduate high school?”
That caused Jen to exhale. She was right. She is graduating next year.
“Are you planning on taking the college exam?” Amber’s question interrupted her thoughts as they went to use the dumbbells on the floor.
“I really want to. I want to go to college. But I don’t want to go to college online, I want to physically be there. But as a K-Pop idol and all, I am not going to be able to juggle that and school...I'm kinda frustrated.”
“What are you going to do? You think you want to take a hiatus from the group to go to school?”
“I don’t know.” Jen groaned and fell back on the floor. "I’ve been thinking of going into business. I’ve been starting to get very interested in that. I don’t want to just depend on music. I want to do more things. But if I take a hiatus from the group, I know a lot of backlash is going to happen with some of these fans. But if I don’t do this, I feel like I will regret it. I'm torn,"
"Hey, don’t even worry about those fans. You need to do what is best for you. If you want to continue your education, do it. You will find a way to make this work. You still have time,"
“Yeah...you’re right. I still have time to think about it. I think I should talk to my parents. And then Bang PD. But enough about that, let’s talk about Civil War! My baby Captain America! Ahhh, I cannot wait for that movie!”
------
The cast of Running Man arrived at their next destination for their 7 vs 300 episode. The cast pondered why there were so many boxes around and was told about their fourth mission.
‘We have special guests for this mission’
Soon after, a van pulled up, and out came BTS themselves which was a huge surprise for the cast.
“Welcome, BTS! Nice to see you! It’s so unexpected!” the cast happily greeted.
“I didn’t know that BTS would be here,” Jae-suk said.
“OH~!” Gary shouted when he saw Jennie and Jungkook. He pointed at them and that got Song Jihyo’s attention.
“YOU!” Song Jihyo shouted. She glanced at Gary and began freaking out with him, amusing everyone. “We have some unfinished business with these two!”
Jennie and Jungkook glanced at each other and laughed as they recapped how the Monday Couple could not stop the Golden Duo. But they were determined to change that today. After the members performed some of the choreography for Fire, the cast applauded them.
“I loved when Rap Monster acted like this in the end.” Jaesuk made the same facial expression and moved his hands the way Rapmon did. After seeing Rapmon doing it again, he responded, “That’s it. It looks nice. I should learn the moves.”
Soon after that, one by one the members of BTS showed off their different gestures for fire. V was up first which hyped up the cast members.
“Do I do it like this?” Gary tried to do the same moves.
“Jongkook, show us the old version of that dance.” Jaesuk requested.
“Why?” Jongkook asked.
“You know the old version.”
“Why should I?”
“Come on!” he replied as the rest of the cast tried to get him to dance.
Going along with it, Haha and Gary joined him in performing their own little routine which made everyone laugh.
“Oh my goodness.” Jennie giggled, covering her mouth.
“1! 2! 3!” the three men shouted and did their ending pose.
“So, what should we do with BTS?” Jaesuk asked
‘The fourth mission is to move 300 boxes with BTS. There are 300 boxes of ramen. You should use the handcart that has your team’s initials on it to move as many boxes as possible to your team’s truck. Those who move more boxes will win. If you win, we will donate the boxes you carried in your name. So please do your best.’
Both teams gathered around, preparing while one member from each team had their cart prepared.
“Okay,” Jen spoke up, making the members look at her. “Strategy. Put as many boxes on the cart. Speed is everything. Jimin,”
“Yes, Ennie?” he asked.
“Try to hop on someone’s back to try to distract them. I’d say go big. Perhaps Kwangsoo or Jongkook. Maybe even Haha. You have the clinging grip of a koala bear. It’ll be difficult to yank you off due to your strong grip.”
“Right,” he nodded.
“Fellas, are we ready?!” she announced loudly.
“Yes, ma’am!” they shouted.
“Are you ready to get down!?”
“Yes, ma’am!”
“Are you ready to win!?”
“Yes, ma’am!”
“One, two, three, BANGTAN!” they all shout, throwing their hands up in the air.
Jennie leaned forward, behind the line, anticipating to run. If all goes to plan, they’ll get the boxes in no time.
‘Will the members with a lot of experience win? Or will young BTS win?’
Once the whistle blew, everyone began dashing forward to one of the five spots of boxes.
“Suga where the heck did this speed come from!?” Jennie exclaimed as she watched him dash over to the boxes. “Never mind, run! Keep running!”
They all scattered around while Suga picked up some boxes before the handcart arrived. He was the first to place a ramen box on the truck. Jennie grabbed two boxes and began dashing towards the truck, evading the chaos around her. Jimin, Rapmon and J-hope were placing as many boxes on the cart as possible.
While J-Hope ran the cart over to their truck, he panted, “This is heavier than I thought!”
Kwangsoo popped out of nowhere. “Ahhhh! Stop it!” J-Hope yelled.
Suga, V and Jimin tried to get him away and Jimin remembered what Jennie had said and decided to hug Kwangsoo from behind along with V, pushing him away from everyone.
“No!” Kwangsoo exclaimed.
J-Hope's screams and yells kept making Jennie laugh as she ran over to their cart and unloaded the boxes on the truck with him. But then Sukjin began to try to take their cart away. Jin stopped him and started moving him away but Sukjin still had a grip on the cart and it began to move away from the truck.
“Seokjin, no!” J-Hope whined.
“Jin! The cart!” Jen shouted. “The cart!”
She ran back to him and managed to help him push Sukjin away. He ran away while she and the oldest member pushed the cart back to J-Hope so they could continue loading the boxes on the truck. Later, she met up with Jungkook to help attack Running Man’s cart, taking boxes out of it.
“Hey!” Haha tried to stop them with Jaesuk.
He managed to grab onto Jungkook but Jen succeeded in stopping Jaesuk from moving the cart even further. That is until Gary came by to hold a strong grip on Jennie.
“Keep getting the boxes! We have the Golden Duo!” Gary shouted to his teammates while Song Jihyo held onto Jungkook as they laughed.
Suddenly, Jennie tickled Gary which made him loosen his grip and she escaped his hold. She ran straight after Song Jihyo to pull her off of Jungkook. Jaesuk accidentally pushed the cart into BTS’ truck, so the members began to grab all the boxes. Jaesuk did the same thing, unaware that it wasn’t Running Man’s truck.
“Thank you, Jaesuk!” Suga spoke.
“What? It’s not our truck?” Jaesuk asked, bewildered.
‘Thanks to Jaesuk, BTS is winning by 14 points.’
“Let’s ambush them,” Jen suggested to Suga as Jongkook and Gary were carrying a large load of boxes to put on their truck.
They ran straight up to them to smack the boxes out of their hands.
“Jongkook!” Kwangsoo yelled while Jimin locked his arms and legs around him.
“Good job, Chim! Keep it up! I’ll bake you cupcakes, tonight!” Jen praised, running past them to grab more boxes.
“Just keep holding him.” Jongkook walked past them while Jimin jumped on top of Kwangsoo, making it harder for him to move.
As the game went on, everyone was out of breath from running as they continued to race all over the place for the boxes. Following Jongkook throwing another box of ramen into his truck, he turned his attention to BTS.
“I can’t stand it anymore. That’s it.” Jongkook marched right over to Suga and Jungkook.
“Oh hell no! Goodbye!” Jennie scurried away from him when she witnessed him grabbing onto her bandmates.
She was just inches away from getting grabbed by him and she was not having it.
“Got you!” Song Jihyo grabbed her before she could get far.
“No! No! Come on! I’ll pay you in cookies!”
Gary joined Song Jihyo, holding Jen hostage while Jongkook held down Suga and Jungkook. Jungkook's shirt began to rise as they all started laughing. It looked like this was the end of the road for these members.
“Jongkook, help me!” Kwangsoo walked over to him with Jimin still on his back.
Jongkook grabbed the back of Jimin’s shirt and pulled him off effortlessly, taking down three boys on his own. During this, Jen was now on the floor, lying on her stomach with Song Jihyo lying on top of her while Gary monitored her to make sure she didn’t escape.
“This is not faaaaaaaair~!” Jennie yelled, defeated.
“What’s happening here?” Jin kneeled before Jungkook, puzzled.
“I want to get out.” Jungkook laughed.
But then Jin got grabbed by Jongkook too and he began to panic, exclaiming, “Please, let me go! Please, let me go!”
Jin tried to pull away but to no avail as only three members of BTS were free and had the final verdict.
“Somebody get the Monday couple off of meeeeeee~!” Jennie yelled. “For the love of smarties! Somebody! Anybody! Hello!? Help!”
At the end of the game, Gary had managed to steal a box from Jin placed it on the truck, and congratulated each other on doing a great job.
‘The 7 vs 300 Boxes game is over’
Both teams stood next to each other, waiting for the results.
‘Let me announce the result. It’s 157 boxes to 143 boxes. BTS won.’ It was announced as bright cheers came from them.
They jumped up and down to celebrate while high fiving each other. Now
the members of Running Man would have to pay for another 300 boxes of ramen to donate. When the announcer told them it was 5,000 dollars for 250 boxes, the cast did a double take which made Jennie look bewildered with the rest of BTS.
“Oh boy,” Jennie murmured.
“Really?” the cast stared in disbelief.
“Did you just say 5,000 dollars?” Sukjin asked
Someone will pay for 200 boxes, 50, 30 and 15. The members were chosen to give them a card at random. So for a random donation segment, the members handed each Running Man cast member a card to figure out what they would pay. Haha opened his card and will only be paying 50 boxes. Gary had a dance card and was spared so he danced around, celebrating with Rapmon who was the one who gave him the card. Song Jihyo’s fate got her 15 boxes. Jongkook got zero boxes and he celebrated with Jungkook and hugged him.
For the final three, it was between 200, 30, and 5 boxes. They were offered to dance around and switched cards three times. Unfortunately for Kwangsoo, who had the 200 card first and switched it, got the card again when switching for the third time. Kwangsoo got water thrown at him and danced for the 5,000 dollars he’ll have to spend on the 200 boxes while everyone laughed.
“Congrats Kwangsoo! You’re the unluckiest person.” Jaesuk said as he stood there, accepting his fate.
“Thank you for your hard work. Thank you all.” the members clapped and bowed at the cast.
“I hope to see you and Jungkook back on the show for another couple’s episode.” Song Jihyo smiled.
“Absolutely. We’re ready. Just let us know and we will attend.” Jen confirmed.
------
Back at the dorm, Jen decided to make a strawberry shortcake because she was bored. She had already finished packing and looked over her schedule for when she touched down in the States.
“Can I have one?”
A bright voice interrupted her thoughts as she looked up to see Hobi smiling kindly. She noticed he was referring to the fresh strawberries she had just cleaned.
“Yeah, knock yourself out.” she grabbed one and fed him. His smile got brighter as he savored the sweet fruit. “Is it good?”
“Very delicious. What are you making?”
“Ah, I would call this bored baking. I'm working on a strawberry shortcake,”
He placed a soothing hand on her back and rubbed it. “You a little nervous about the show?”
“I think I’m more nervous about making sure I put in a good word for BTS. You know I love to network,"
“Munchkin, you’ll do just fine. And make sure you enjoy yourself there. Don't overwork yourself to network. Still, have fun with Angelina. Come on, I'll help you."
“Thanks. You can start by cutting the strawberries and then adding sugar.” she pointed to the materials while handling baking biscuits.
What she planned on doing was making it look like biscuits with layers of strawberries and frosting. As they baked together, she began to notice that whenever she glanced over at Hobi, he’d look like he was caught doing something he shouldn’t.
“...are you eating more strawberries?”
“No?” he replied with a mouthful in his mouth.
“J-Hope!” she scolded and tried to hit him but he jumped away. After pulling themselves together, she said, “All right, let’s put on some music while we do this. You can just grab my phone and press shuffle.”
“What’s the password?”
“Jungkook’s birthday.”
“Awwwww. I see that you two have each other as your lock screens and now your passwords are each other's birthdays. Did you know that Jungkook’s notification tone for you is a bell?”
“Oh yeah, from the anime? It’s so cute. Remember when one of y'all almost leaked our relationship on V-Live? Thankfully Kookie’s smart thinking saved us all,” she playfully scolded.
------
It happened a few days ago with Jungkook, Yoongi, and Hobi eating lunch together. During the live, Jen had messaged Jungkook in response to his question on whether she could pick up some banana milk while she was out. His phone sounded like a loud bell once she texted him and he looked down, smiling brightly.
“Goodness, you’re whipped.” Yoongi blurted out.
“He is maturing a lot because of Jennie,” Hobi added with a chuckle.
But they had almost forgotten that they were still on the air as Jungkook blushed, “Jennie is my best friend and has helped me a lot with this comeback. She’s the best and I couldn’t think of any other best friend.”
------
“My gosh, I’m just thankful it wasn’t anything worse,” Jen mentioned.
“Sorry, sorry. We’ll be more careful,” he replied and pressed shuffle as My Own Worst Enemy by Lit came on.
“Ooh! I was just working on this song on my guitar!” she started throwing her head around, dancing around.
Hobi laughed and joined her, dancing around the kitchen.
“My car is in the front yard and I’m sleeping with my clothes on~!” she sang. “Came in through the window last night and you’re gone! Gone~!”
“How many rock songs do you have on your phone?” he asked.
“A lot! So many! I have a lot to study from. It’s so fascinating how complex you can make the chords. Soon I want to try playing some of the hardest chords when I increase my skill. But let’s get back to work. I like to make my biscuits from scratch. So, as you can see the dough is fine. Now we just need to cut them into small circles.”
She rolled the dough out and handed him one of the circular cutters as they both made several circles. Then, they sprayed two pans and placed the dough on them. Hobi opened the preheated oven and put it in so it could bake.
“Awesome, thanks for helping!” she high fived him. “We’ll continue after I wash my hair real quick. Just please keep an eye on that. It should be done before I finish.”
“No problem, munchkin.”
She went to wash her hair and then went to blow dry it in her room but as soon as she turned the dryer on, a big mess of flour popped out, causing her to scream.
“ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?” she yelled, making Hobi yelp. “WHO PUT FLOUR IN MY DRYER?!”
After ten minutes passed, Hobi saw Namjoon walking into the kitchen to grab water. But from the look on his face, the leader had a mischievous smirk on his face.
“No way, man. It was you? She is going to pulverize you.” Hobi chuckled.
“Not if she doesn’t find out~.” Namjoon smiled innocently.
“Well I just did and I hope you watch your damn back because I am going to make sure what you get is ten times worse,” Jen responded, causing him to turn around in fear.
“Nini, hey, how are you?” he laughed nervously as he saw that she had managed to clean up her face and hair so that there was no more flour.
“Don’t talk to me. I’ll deal with you when you least expect it. Let’s continue finishing this shortcake.” she resumed with Hobi after creating 14 shortcakes for everyone.
“Thanks for the treat.” Hobi kissed her temple.
“Guys! I baked!” she announced. As soon as she said the word baked, they ran to the kitchen, shoving each other away to try to be the first to get a taste. “Whoa, relax. I made plenty so you all can have one.”
Later that evening, Hobi and Jen hung out in her room for another edition of putting makeup on Smartie. Setting up the camera and finishing up their strawberry shortcake, Jen called the program, ‘Lets Put MakeUp On Smartie Featuring J-Hope~’
“Hey, hey! What is up ARMY!? Jennie is back with another episode of Let’s Put Makeup On Smartie! And with us today is my hope, your hope, J-Hope!”
“Hi!” Hobi beamed and danced in his seat in excitement.
“I’m sure you’ve seen the previous videos of the guys doing my makeup. What do you have planned for me, today?”
“I’ve been thinking of what you’d look like as a vampire. So to prepare, I bought fangs, blood, and some other materials.”
Jen gulped loudly which caused Hobi to cackle and clap his hands. "Oh God...help me.“ she murmured.
"It’s going to be fine. Trust me. I made sure to learn what to do. I won’t mess up your face. I got this handled, Jennie.”
“Mm-hm,” she replied. “But before we start, I have a big announcement to make.”
“Oh yes! Can’t wait for this!”
“So, as you know, for a while now the idea of Jungkook and I creating a Twitch Channel has been up in the air. Well, I want to confirm that our Twitch Channel is coming and it is called The Golden Duo! You can sign up for free and make sure you’re subscribed to us. And good news, our first stream will be during BTS Festa this year!”
“Wooooo!” Hobi cheered with Jennie. “Make sure you let us play too!”
“We will! The first game we will be playing is The Impossible Game. We have so many games we have listed to play. A bunch of online games and console games. And more to come. This channel’s streaming times will vary due to our schedules but best believe we will stream at least once a month. No doubt about that. Jungkook and I are very excited about this. You are going to see just how intense our friendship can be when gaming. And for a warning, there will be rage quitting and you’ll see a side of us you haven’t before.”
Fans were extremely excited about the news, commenting:
‘JENKOOK SHIPPERS ARE GETTING FED!’
‘YES!’
‘FINALLY!’
‘OMG YASSS, THANK YOU!’
‘Please play Overwatch!’
‘Can you play The Sims?’
“We’ll play those games. Don’t worry. Now any donations we get for the stream, we are donating to charity. We are not keeping the money. We plan to split the money equally and give it to the charity of our choice. I will be donating to domestic violence survivors. I am very passionate about that subject. Jungkook is still figuring out where he wants to donate. Okay, now without further ado, let’s do this!”
Letting him get right to it, he put her primer on her face and then the foundation.
“Army, Jennie baked today. I helped her out. We made strawberry shortcake.” he said and went to work on her eyes by using black and purple.
“I thought it turned out pretty well, how about you?”
“I want more. But you’re leaving soon. So, next time when you get back to Seoul.”
“Sounds like a plan. I’m glad you liked it. Oh, Army, you guys are wild for your choice of what you want me to do for our upcoming Festa.” she brought up and paused as he focused on placing black lipstick on her.
He put the two fangs on her teeth and went to focus on putting blood around her mouth to go with the look.
“If some of you aren’t aware, Big Hit put up a poll a few weeks ago for you guys to choose.” Jen continued. “I'm doing something with Jimin and Jungkook too but also will be dancing solo. So for my solo, you had to choose between a cute concept, a sexy concept, or a badass one. And since somehow, someway you guys like me being sexy, you chose the sexy concept and now I am going to be performing Sunmi’s Full Moon. Oh my gosh. Wow. I’m not ready. I can’t believe this. I was striving for the badass concept. But it’ll be fun.”
“We are currently making preparations for it now,” Hobi added. “We are eager to show you in June. And...done!”
Jen checked her face in the mirror. “Oh...oh! Whoa! I look demonic!" she chuckled and checked out her eyes. “I like it. I like how slightly messy it looks. This is good, J-Hope!”
“I knew you would like it! Aren’t you glad I didn’t mess up with face?”
“Very. All right, well thanks for watching us, today. Stay tuned for the next member of Bangtan to do my makeup. Who do you think is next? Find out soon!”
“Bye Army!” Hobi waved.
After they turned the live off, Jen took selfies with him, tweeting, ‘I wonder if I should be a vampire for Halloween. Thanks for the makeup! I look great! #Jen’

The next morning, Jen pondered about how the guys would look great for their airport style but she’d just wear something simple and comfortable. She was already tired as it is and looking at her hoodie and jeans with a messy bun, she did not feel like wearing some top-notch outfit for an airport. And knowing the fans loved airport pictures, she decided to tweet about it to not get their hopes up.
‘I know how much you guys like airport pics. But my outfit isn’t going to be all that like usual. Sorry to disappoint you guys...again! Haha. #Jen’
Looking at some of the replies made her smile:
‘You could wear a trash bag and we’d still think you’re beautiful’
‘Doesn’t matter! Still taking photos of your cute self! Stay comfortable!’
‘It’s OK queen. We still gonna see you when you arrive home.’
When she arrived back in America, a big yawn escaped her and her stomach leaped with joy to find that she was finally home. Carrying her bag along with her manager Diana and some security guards walking with her, Jen walked off the plane. But little did she know, a large turnout of fans, fansites, and paparazzi were waiting for her. And when they saw her walk out, cameras began to flash and the pandemonium rose, causing Jen to look up in astonishment.
“Oh my God, she’s coming! She’s coming! I hear screaming!” A fan squealed while recording and began screaming with everyone else once she saw her.
“No fucking way.” a curse escaped Jennie, making her fans laugh as she took off her sunglasses. “Who sent y’all? Y’all not here for me. I know y’all not here for me.” she said in disbelief while the cheers and laughter got louder.
“Dispatch is here. They’re going to want you to stand and pose.” she was advised and followed suit as loud clicks of cameras and flashing lights appeared in her view.
The screams were high pitched as she tried to get a good look at all the fans here to see her.
“Hi, Jennie! Hiiiii~!”
“I love you!”
“Jen! Jennie! My friend loves you so much!”
“YASSSS GIRL! WORK! MISS BANGTAN!” a fan screamed, making her chuckle.
After the photos, she began to walk with Diana and security while others were rushing away to get a better view of her. Security did a good job keeping fans away from being too close to her.
“Jennie, I’m proud of you.” she heard a fan say while recording her.
She turned to make eye contact with her for a few seconds and smiled. “Thank you.”
“Jennie, welcome back!” someone else spoke
“Thanks, good to be back home!“
“How was the flight?”
“Not too bad, actually.”
Jen turned to see a guy smiling shyly and waving right next to her outside the airport.
“Hey! Thanks for coming to see me. How long did you wait?“ she asked.
"Hours. Worth it to see you in person. Here, this is for you. My cousin makes earrings and wanted you to have this.” he gave her a small gift bag
“Oh wow, thank you! I can’t wait to wear it.” she beamed.
On Twitter ARMY was freaking out and trended #WelcomeHomeJennie worldwide:
'Our beautiful Miss Bangtan has arrived safely in America! #WelcomeHomeJennie’
'Ah she is so cute! Looking like an adorable hamster in that hoodie'
'My baby is back in the US!’
'Our girl has arrived!’
'Jen is back! I repeat! Jen is back! Back in America!’
‘SHE LOOKED AT ME! OMG SHE SMILED AND LOOKED AT ME!’
'Of course, she’s decked out in Nike, what a cutie!’
As soon as she went to her hotel room, she ate and rested before it was time to go straight to interviews. This was going to be a busy day, starting with radio to help talk about BTS’ new album and hoping that K-Pop can be more recognized in America just like PSY did years ago. Then it was time for her interview with iHeartRadio.
Smiling for the camera, iHeartRadio took a photo of her and tweeted, ‘K-Pop’s own Miss Bangtan of BTS is here with us!’
Getting comfortable with the interviewer, they began filming as she listened to the interviewer greet the fans and give background on K-Pop and BTS.
“Here on iHeartRadio, we have the one and only Miss Bangtan, Jennie of BTS! How are you doing?”
“The adrenaline is pumping!” she replied with a big smile. “I’m so happy to be home for a little bit.”
"I'm glad! We’re going to have some fun today, with various questions. We even asked ARMY to submit some questions for you. Are you ready?”
“Let’s do this.”
‘First time you knew you loved playing the guitar?’
“After listening to rock music. I’d say that Linkin Park's One Step Closer was one of the many songs that influenced me to play the guitar more. When I practiced that song, I fell in love with it and I told myself that this was what I wanted to do. They are so amazing at what they do with their music. And I’m not going to lie, I really enjoy the heavy stuff with the guitar, too. How intense it is. It just makes me emotional because you can just hear how passionate the music is. I am a proud black girl who loves rock."
'Artist you want to collab with?’
"I have so many! Chase Atlantic has been on my radar. I would love to collab with a rock band, to be honest. Even if it’s just playing the guitar. I’d love to perform some rock songs. It's not every day you see a black female rock out. But we’re out here in this world. I honestly do not care which rock band it is, I will be grateful for whatever opportunity comes. Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Red Hot Chili Peppers, so many amazing bands! Right now I am studying different rock songs and learning them on my guitar. I want to learn different styles and techniques. It’s pretty fun.”
'What song are you studying right now?’
“Wake Up by Rage Against The Machine. It’s heavy and I enjoy the instrumental. I can’t explain it but ugh I love it. A funny moment happened a few days ago, so I was playing my music really loud and the guys got so concerned by the intense vocals. The guitar solo is still messing me up a bit, so I’m still practicing. Maybe one day I should release my covers for the songs I’m studying.”
'You think you could ever do acting?’
“My sister is the actress. But if an opportunity comes up and I need to prepare for an audition, she’s my go-to person. I thought about it on occasion but it isn't quite on my radar, right now. But it would be so fun to do one day. I'd love to try to be in some action movie or something. It’s nice to branch out and try new things.”
'What are some nicknames people called you?’
"Oh gosh, well Rapmon calls me Nini. I also get called Munchkin, Smartie, and Ennie.”
'Okay, we gotta know, are you still keen on wanting to work with Nike?’
"YES! HELL YES! I am still patiently waiting! I know they’re watching me. I am here, Nike! Come on, please! I will bring you so many sales. I am so passionate about your product! Hit me up!”
'Any tattoos in the future?’
"Yes, I have something in mind. You’ll see.”
'What is your ideal date?’
A bright smile came across her lips as the interviewer raved over how big her smile had gotten. Truth was, she was thinking about Jungkook.
“Ah...well, I love mini-dates. Like the simple things are more than enough. Even if it’s just walking and looking at the sunset or stars while I'm in my significant other's arms. Eating smarties and snacks with them.” she got a little giddy and her face began to warm up as she thought about her boyfriend. “I guess I’m a little bit of a hopeless romantic.”
'What about your solo work?’
“BTS’ work.” she corrected, smoothly moving the conversation her way. “Everything is going great with our work. Our album is doing so well, please stream and buy our album. It’s called The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever. The album with the colorful hot air balloon. You can’t miss it. I also helped create track four. Autumn Leaves. Give it a listen. We’re proud of it.”
“Well, that is all the time we have for today. We are going to see you at the Billboard Awards, right?”
“Yes, you are! I’ll be supporting my girl, Angelina. I am so stoked to be a part of it again. Thanks for having me!”
With Buzzfeed, Jen was filmed to be a part of their Thirst Tweets segment. Sitting down comfortably on the floor, she got handed the LOL bucket and prepared for her cue to start speaking.
“Hey! It’s your girl Jennie from BTS and today I shall be reading some thirst tweets!” she announced. “Disclaimer, I am fully aware of how thirsty you fans are. Remember that I do have a Tumblr and I see everything. I can tell that this is going to be very interesting so let’s get to it.”
Grabbing the LOL bucket, she dug in and pulled out a slip of paper. Reading it in her head, she started to chuckle.
“Whoa. Okay. This reads...”
'I hope Jen gets eaten out every night since she deserves it.’
She looked directly at the camera with a soft laugh. “I've been told I taste pretty nice," she teased before bursting out in laughter. "Was that appropriate for this interview? ARMY is going to freak when they watch this,"
'Imagine getting a lap dance from Jennie. I'd bust so quick!’
“Hm...you know I never gave someone a lap dance before. I should start practicing. Who wants to be my first?”
'I just can’t stop thinking about Jennie’s ass. I want to smack it and eat-’
She couldn’t finish as she started laughing again, covering her mouth.
’...I want to smack it and eat her booty like groceries.’
“Y’know I get this a lot actually,” she admitted. “It’s okay to stare, though. Look but don’t touch. It's pretty funny to see all the memes about my ass. And the reaction photos you guys put up when you react to photos of me are top tier. It's funny as hell,"
'Jen could blow my back out with a strap on if she wanted to.’
“Ah...” she let out a sigh. “Thank you for the offer. I don’t know my own strength so I don’t think you’d want me blowing your back out.”
'I watched a compilation of Jen’s sexiest moments. I want to fuck her so bad’
“You want to have sex with me, too? Get in line,” she replied. "It's so interesting to read how desired I am from people. I've seen some shit. It is crazy,"
'BTS’ Jennie is a fine piece of ass. I want to bite her booty and give her a butt massage’
“A butt massage? Interesting...”
'Jennie sitting on my face is a nice concept. I would also love to eat smarties all over her naked body.’
She chuckled and rubbed the back of her neck. “You want me to sit on your face? It takes a special person for that," she giggled. "Ah, but I wouldn’t want you to get suffocated. And you want to eat smarties on me? I don’t think so. Let’s eat smarties from the wrapper, not on my body.”
'A concept: sucking Jen’s toes’
That made her widen her eyes, "Why is everyone talking about my feet these days? Did I miss something? Was it something I wore?” she asked, genuinely confused
'I’d pay so much money to drink Jen’s bath water’
She looked up at the camera and the caption, ’#Jennie.exe has stopped working’ appeared on the screen, causing the staff to laugh in the background.
“That’s...not sanitary.”
After finishing the tweets, she said, "Well, that’s all the thirst tweets for now. That was eventful. I wouldn’t mind doing this again. I’m Jennie from BTS and I will see on you the flip side. Stream BTS and other K-Pop groups! Our album. Right here.” she presented their latest album in front of the camera. “Track four. I helped produce it. All the songs are good. It’s lit.” she cheered as they signed off.
Meanwhile, a Shawn Mendes fan tweeted him about Jennie later on that day, ‘Shawn! Did you know that the girl with the guitar is going to the Billboard Awards!? She really wants to meet you!’
Replying to the fan, Shawn tweeted, ‘Yes, I do! I’m happy that she is going to be there. I hope I can see her.’
For the last segment of Buzzfeed, some lucky fans of Jennie were brought into the studio and asked to stand in a room alone, one by one.
The question was simple. Why do you admire Jennie?
And while the fans spoke highly of her, Jen was watching in the background, planning to surprise them.
“My big cousin got me into K-Pop a few years ago,” a little black girl cutely said. “When I saw Jennie, I told my parents, she looks like me! I hope I can dance just like her! She’s so pretty!”
Jen placed her hands over her heart as she watched her speak. This was why she loved what she did. Representation matters.
“Can you perform some of BTS’ choreography?” the little girl was asked and performed like Jennie for the Fire MV.
"Wow~! You dance so well!" Jennie praised, walking into the view.
The girl began jumping up and down excitedly, "Jennie~!"
"Hi~! You were amazing! I'm so happy to meet you!" she kneeled and opened up her arms as she watched her run over to hug her.
The way the girl cutely ran up to her made the staff 'aw' as they watched the wholesome moment. The little girl bounced in her arms excitedly, hugging tightly. Standing up, Jennie held the girl in her arms, smiling brightly at her once she pulled away.
"You are just the cutest!" Jen beamed.
"Thank you! I love you so much! I want to be a dancer just like you! Thank you for being so cool!"
"Aw...I love you, too!" Jen got hugged again by her as her heart soared.
Once the little girl left, Jennie giggled. "She is sooooo cute! Oh my gosh. Now I want kids. Ugh, I want a mini me when I get married,"
--------
“That’s my girl, right there!” a male fan enthused when it was his turn to speak.
“Yeah! Like I love how she sticks to her roots and doesn’t change who she is in another country.” his guy friend added. “Jennie, thank you for representing us. And did I mention that she is so beautiful? Like wow. Photos don't do her justice!"
“Aw...that’s how you feel?” she walked out.
“OHHHHHHHHHHHH~!” the first guy yelled and backed up, causing her to laugh.
“Oh shit!” the second guy fell to the floor. “No way!”
“Yes, way! What’s up!?” she giggled and helped him up.
She got a kick out of when fans stumbled when they saw her.
“This is not real,” the second guy embraced her and then watched his friend hug her next.
"Damn, you smell good!" he blurted out, making her laugh again.
-------
“She’s SO cute. Like an adorable hamster.” another fan said.
“Yeah! And the cute thing she does with her nose. Sooo adorable. Her in the Fire music video was a rude awakening that Miss Bangtan is here to stay. We’re just so proud of her and-” the second fan squealed when she saw Jennie standing there, amused.
“Hey, I am a human being.” Jen teased, watching the girls squeal and jump around.
“Oh my God~!” they shouted before hugging her.
---------
“It’s nice to see someone that looks like me in a genre that is Asian dominated. She has remained strong in that industry and there were lots of high expectations for her debut. She exceeded them.” another black girl proudly said. “I just auditioned for a few K-Pop companies because of her. I was moved to see someone like her break barriers. Her passion is undeniable. Jennie, thank for you being an inspiration to us black women in K-Pop.”
“You are very welcome~! I’m looking forward to your debut one day.” Jen’s voice was heard, making the girl freeze. Once she skipped out, a scream escaped the girl’s lips and she kneeled down, covering her head.
"No way! Hi!" the girl stood up and embraced her.
"Hi! How are you?"
"I'm shaking! Oh my God, I cannot believe you're in front of me, right now!"
"Believe it! Thank you for your sweet words. That is so amazing that you were able to audition for some companies! When do you hear back from your auditions?"
"In a few weeks!"
"I hope you get accepted! I'd love to watch your journey,"
---------
“Her relatable personality is what gets me. I love that she is not afraid to speak her mind. She also replies a lot to her fans. I think that Jennie is the most accessible BTS member. She’s like the most active BTS member on social media and I love that. You have a nice chance of getting a reply or like from her. She never forgets her fans. She sets a very good example of what it means to appreciate fans,” another male fan mentioned.
Cartwheeling into the room, Jen landed on her feet and posed, “Hi! Surprise!”
“Whoa! Hi! Hello!” he stammered and embraced her. “You smell good!”
“Haha! Thank you!"
-----
“This girl can get down! My daughters got me into K-Pop and when they showed me BTS and explained what a bias is, I knew Miss Jennifer would be mine. Watching a black girl thrive and make a name for herself in another country, proud of her dark skin, beautiful as ever, I get emotional about it.” an older female fan said.
“Yeah, we record our mom turning up to Jennie’s verses in BTS’ songs. It’s hilarious.” her oldest daughter added. “Jennie made me love Nike. Like the girl makes the product look good. Nike, what are you waiting for!? Call her up!”
“Yeah, and I got into smarties because of her. She should really be in a Smartie commercial.” the youngest daughter mentioned.
“Those are amazing ideas! I hope I can achieve them!” Jen happily said, walking out.
“Oh my goodness,” the mother laughed, looking amazed while her daughters jumped excitedly.
“Hi! It’s very nice to meet you! Thank you for supporting me, BTS, and K-Pop as a whole,” Jen beamed and hugged them.
“Oh my God, you’re touching me.” the youngest squealed. “Thank you for being you, Jennie!”
“It’s people like you who got me here today. So thank YOU for supporting me and the rest of BTS. ARMY is the best.” Jennie smiled.
--------
"Are you serious right now?” a loud irritated sigh escaped Angelina’s lips while Jen walked inside the hotel she was sharing with her. “What is the issue? It is not that big of a deal. Who cares what these stupid fans say? I love you and I’m tired of keeping things quiet. You know what, I’m done talking to you. Talk to me when you realize your stupidity.” she hung up and tossed her phone on the bed.
“Hey,” Jen spoke up, making Angelina look her way.
“Hey...”
“So, what was that about?” she set her bag down.
“Namjoon’s annoying ass.”
“What happened?”
“I’m really tempted to break up with him, right now. Like I am so done with this.”
Jennie was used to this type of behavior from her and remained calm, “Slow down. What do you mean by that?”
“We had a disagreement. And I’m just becoming so fed up about all this.”
“Fed up about what?”
“I just want our relationship to be public. But he doesn’t want it public. He wants us to remain private. And when I asked why he was all about my safety and bullshit. I wasn’t even listening, I was just so mad. Like nobody gonna touch me. I’m no thin-skinned person, I can handle the hate, I can just ignore it, easily. I just feel like the man is ashamed of dating me and that’s why he doesn’t want to go public.”
Jen frowned. Angelina had a bad habit of attempting to make drastic decisions when things went south and when she was emotional.
One time when she was working on a song with an artist, she was fed up with her rap not going as planned and wanted to give up on it until Jen talked her out of it. And thankfully she did because that collab with The Weeknd will be performed at the Billboard Awards and is still high up on the charts. Now, what if she gave up on it? Then what? Angelina still thanks her to this day for snapping her out of it.
“I understand both sides to this," Jennie spoke. "I understand that here in America, it probably isn’t that much of a big deal. Everyone loves their celeb couples here, always wanting the details. But with the K-Pop fanbase, it’s much worse. Possessive fans, people having a harder time with accepting relationships, it’s scary. I get that here in America it is like that too but I've seen some scary shit in Seoul. Like you remember that whole mess with Kai and Krystal? And then Baekhyun and Taeyeon. Namjoon means well. He is just trying to think logically about it. I think he is planning on a way to announce your relationship but for now, he just wants to remain private. You see, you, you are impatient.”
“And what about it?”
She chuckled, “You want things to go your way and you don’t think sometimes before you make a decision. Namjoon plans and thinks carefully. He knows what he’s doing. I bet he’s even going to make a song for you, too. Ang, I feel like your relationship will be public but just not now. I know him. He is not embarrassed to date you. Trust him. Okay?”
Angelina sighed. “Yeah...I guess.”
"Good. Call back and apologize. That was mean to hang up on him,"
"Fine~," Angelina whined and called him back to talk things out.
After she got off the phone, Jen spoke, “How was your dress rehearsal? Sorry, I couldn’t make it. All these interviews they want me in.”
“I am so happy that things are coming together. It's a huge honor to perform with The Weeknd. Like damn, what was I thinking trying to give up on the collab when my rap wasn’t working?”
“Yeah, what were you thinking? You were out of your mind when you told me that.”
Angelina laughed. “Yeah, yeah, well, again, thanks for being there for me and giving me that pep talk. I do need to lighten up. Oh and for our seats, I’m sitting with The Weeknd. You’ll be next to me. And guess who is sitting behind you~?”
“Who?”
“Shawn Mendes~!”
Jen widened her eyes. “No way!”
“Yes, way! And he’s pretty eager to meet you~! Jungkook about to lose his girlfriend~!” she teased.
“No~! He’s not,”
“Shawnnie is the new ship name for you guys. It’s so cute!”
“Oh my goodness.”
"It is adorable. The mystery American girl in K-Pop with the guitar has charmed Canada's talented and handsome Shawn Mendes. Prepare yourself, sis. People are going to be looking for any sort of interaction between y'all,"
"First I need to make sure I don't pass out if I see this man,"
"Nah what you need to do is make sure Jungkook doesn't take the next flight over here," Angelina laughed.
"Stop~! It's going to be fine!"
------
The next day was finally the big day for Billboard. Jen was excited as her stylist, Janae came in with a few other stylists to prepare Angelina and her for the day. Both of them were in robes, vibing to one of Angelina’s playlists. They just finished eating breakfast and were now getting their makeup done.
After she put on her dress, Jennie checked herself out in the mirror. The white dress had a V neck, exposing the middle of her chest, and had a thigh high slit. She also wore the earrings that the fan gave her.
"Okay! Talk to me nice!“ Jen hyped Angelina up who spun around, modeling in her dress as she filmed her. "Work!”
Jennie then took a photo and then sent a photo to Jungkook.
Jen: Miss u!! You like it?
With Jungkook, who was at dance practice, took a break to see the message. He instantly almost dropped his phone, making Jimin notice and laugh.
“Jungkookie, you’ve been staring at the screen, motionless for the past five minutes. What are you looking at?” Jimin asked, peeking at his screen to see Jennie’s dress. He ended up laughing harder. “She’s so cute.”
JK: [image.jpg]
JK: AGHGAGHAJFAHHBWIFA.
JK: WOW!! I'm so proud to call you mine
She laughed at the image of him on the floor looking like he fainted dramatically.
Later, she browsed Twitter and found a tweet from Shawn Mendes, 'On my way to the Billboard Awards. I wonder where the girl with the guitar is. BTS_twt'
She smiled and playfully responded, 'I’m around. :) Come find me #Jen’
"GIRL! Come find me!?" Angelina laughed as she read the tweet.
"I was just trying to act cool!"
"All cool for Shawn? You are going to freeze. You freeze and stutter with everybody else,"
"Hush!"
Once they got in the van to make their way over to the show, Angelina took out her phone to film a Snapchat video with Jennie. “Billboard Awards here we comeeeee~!"
The anticipation heightened once they arrived, seeing fans waiting for the next celeb to walk out of their vehicle
“You ready?” Jennie asked with a smile.
“As long as you’re with me, I’m ready for anything.” Angelina held her hand.
Once the door opened, Angelina and Jennie walked out hand in hand as screams and flash photography were heard. The two friends glanced at each other with a smile and walked to the magenta carpet, waving at fans who were shouting their names. Photographers shouted their names so they could look their way and get a good shot. Jen hasn’t been at this show since the Amity days and it was nice to be back.
ARMY found tweets from curious fans who had no idea who Jennie was or BTS when the broadcast announced that Jen and Angelina had arrived, giving background on both of them.
'The girl in the white dress is cute af! Wow, is she single?’
'She is looking like a snack! Both her and Angelina are!’
'All that melanin!’
'Wait isn’t that the baby from Amity!? She looks so good!’
It was crazy how all her faves were just walking around the carpet right in front of her. So many people she wanted to speak to and meet. It was going to be an interesting day.
E! started their interview with them first.
“We are here with Angelina and a member of the Korean Pop Group, BTS, Jennie. Welcome ladies! How are you doing today?”
“I’m feeling less nervous now that my best friend is here with me.” Angelina gratefully said. “She’s holding me down.”
“Aw. I’m really happy to be here and support her. I am so excited to see her and The Weeknd perform. She deserves this. She’s worked so hard for this moment.” Jennie added.
“And the crazy thing is, he wasn’t even planning on performing today but then asked me to perform this song with him instead of him performing one of his solo songs. I was so shooked.”
“You two are definitely friendship goals. Angelina, anything to say about what to expect from your performance tonight?” the interviewer asked.
“Expect to let Angelina show you how it’s done on the stage. No doubt about that.”
“Angelina, we hear that you are working on your next album. Any word on when it will be released?”
“When you least expect it.” she teased.
“Any boyfriends? Are any of you seeing somebody?“
“Actually, yes.” Angelina proudly said, catching Jen off guard.
Was she about to leak her relationship on national TV?
Angelina smiled softly, “He’s a great man and he makes me very happy.”
“Who is the lucky guy?”
"That’s classified for now.”
"And what about you Jennie? Any man in your life?”
“Right now, I’m not looking for a man.” She responded with a smile, proud to be locked down with Jungkook who made her happy.
After some more interviews, Jen spotted her fansites around and approached them.
“No way, what are you guys doing here?” she laughed as they happily greeted her and told them they came to see her. “Wow, thank you! Hey, you got the braids I suggested. They look cute.” she pointed out to one of her fansites.
A few months ago she spotted her at the airport and she asked Jennie about changing her hair to a different color.
“I’m glad you suggested the green box braids. They’re cute, I love it.” the fansite grinned.
“Good.” she turned to another fansite, “You. You’re the one who told me about that test. Did you pass?”
“Yes, I did! I got a B minus. Thankfully I got the extra credit questions right.”
“I knew you would! You make me so proud!”
As crazy as it may sound, Jen had decided to get closer to some of her fansites, especially the American ones, having a close bond with them.
When she saw the fansite that had been with her since the Amity Days, Jennie's eyes lit up, “I’m glad you’re here! I was hoping you’d come!”
“Wouldn’t miss it! You look so pretty! I'm happy you remember me!"
“Of course! And thank you! I just want to thank you all for your dedication and hard work. You guys really didn’t need to do this but the fact that you are all here to support me means so much. Want to take a selfie with one of your phones? If you’re comfortable with it.”
They all happily agreed, some choosing to block their faces with a mask if they didn't want to reveal who they were and Jen let Diana take the photo. Then she took individual selfies with each of them. She loved her fansites dearly.
“Diana, can you make sure they get fed today? They’re probably hungry from staying out all this time just to see me and take photos.” she requested. "My treat. And make sure they're hydrated,"
“You got it.” Diana got right to it.
Angelina and Jennie did some individual interviews but remained close to each other.
“Here we are with Jennie of BTS! It’s been years since you attended the Billboard Awards. How does it feel to be back?”
“This is crazy. Although I’m not performing or anything, just being here to support my best friend is more than enough. I would say that I’m not nervous like I was when I was a kid with Amity.”
“Do you think that one day you’ll perform at the Billboard Awards?”
“That’d be cool. I’d like to if that’s possible. Whenever it’s featuring in a song or hey what if BTS could perform? I hope Billboard considers that, having a Korean act perform on their show. We make such great music. Please check out our album!"
“What did it feel like to get on that plane, without BTS to be here alone?”
“Weird. Like wow, my boys aren’t with me. I gotta do this by myself now. I like it although I do miss my boys. I know they’re watching so, hey guys!” she greeted them in Korean.
"Is there anyone, in particular, you’re looking forward to seeing?”
“Well...” she giggled nervously. “Shawn Mendes.”
"Have you seen the name people are calling you? Shawnnie. It's so cute,"
"Yeah, it is pretty cute. I wasn't expecting this big of a reaction from our fanbases. I'm so flattered. He is just so amazing and I hope today is the day I can finally meet him. I admire his work so much,"
"Aw. Is a collab between you two in the future?"
"If he wants to work with me, I would be so down. Fingers crossed! I'd love to work with him! Ah...he's a pretty amazing guy," she couldn't stop the big smile from appearing on her face.
-----
Shawn Mendes had been on the magenta carpet for a while, doing interviews and taking photos. His eyes lit up when the same interviewer who had talked with Jennie said that they recently interviewed the girl with the guitar.
"You did?" a big smile began to appear on his handsome features. "She's here? Oh man...my day just got better,"
"Yeah, she spoke very highly of you. What do you think of the girl with the guitar?"
"She's a pretty amazing girl. Her voice and the way she plays the guitar...blown away,"
"She told us she'd love to collab with you,"
"I want to collab with her, too," he immediately said, happy with her statement.
----
Jennie had a young male interview her as he introduced her to the camera. But once she looked directly at him, smiling charmingly, he began to stutter.
“So, Jennie y-you, I mean...I’m sorry,” he laughed nervously, trying to remember the question he was going to ask.
It looked like he was thrown off by her smile for a brief moment and got lost in her charm.
'Cute,’ she thought, amused.
“It’s okay,” she giggled.
“Sorry, this is my first time interviewing.”
“I’m glad I get to have the honor of you interviewing me for the first time. Let’s talk about how exciting the Billboard Awards are,” she tried to calm his nerves as they briefly talked about what they were looking forward to.
Once he felt at ease, he began to ask her his questions, “You did a cover for Stitches a while back. How did it feel for Shawn to acknowledge that?”
“I remember running all over the place when I found out. Someone that I admire as a performer watching my craft. Surreal. I can’t wait to meet him!”
“Do people notice you easily in South Korea?”
“Oh definitely. It’s so obvious to notice me. If it’s not my melanin, it’s my hair. So, people are quick to want to get autographs. I’m always happy to see the fans.”
“I have to say, an African American woman like you representing black women in an Asian country is very impressive. Are you aware of the supporters you have?”
“Yeah! It’s very overwhelming for sure. Words can’t explain how much of a blessing this is.”
“And lastly, can you speak some Korean to the viewers?”
She nodded and looked at the camera, deciding to give a message to the fans and BTS, “Thank you for always supporting me. Your Bangtan Girl is doing well and is happy. I ate today, don’t worry. No, I am not dehydrated. Please look forward to Angelina’s performance. I love you! Fighting!”
“I have no idea what you said but it sounded great.” he chuckled with her as she translated her statement.
She even taught him a few basic words before the interview was over which helped him relax even more.
After their interview, he went on to put out a few tweets about her:
'I just interviewed BTS’ Jennie and just wow...her smile left me speechless. Her beauty made me stutter a bit,'
'I was surprised at how relaxed she is. This was my first time interviewing her and when I saw videos of her performing, I thought she was as hyper as she is on stage.’
'But here she has a calming demeanor. She is so chill. A very mellow and soothing person. Thank you, Jennie.’
------
As Shawn was being interviewed by E!, his eyes occasionally wandered around the area to see if he could spot Jennie. And when he did he began to get distracted while answering questions.
"Ah, I'm sorry, could you excuse me for a moment? I found her," he smiled kindly.
-----
Walking around with Angelina, taking photos, Jennie is nudged by her.
“Don’t look now but a certain someone is watching you~!” Angelina whispered.
“Who?” Jen whispered back.
“You know who.” she teased. Her statement made Jen widen her eyes and she attempted to take a peek but Angelina stopped her. “Girl, don’t make it obvious. But he staring at ya. Oh shit. He’s...walking over here. Oh my gosh, he’s walking over here.”
“What!?” Jen panicked, grabbing onto her. “What should I do?!"
“Be calm. Be calm. Go say hi. I’ll be over there.”
“You’re leaving?!” she asked in a high voice.
Patting Jen’s back with a giggle, Angelina began to walk away, “You got this.”
'Oh my God...' Jen thought.
Jennie’s heart continued to race as she didn’t know what to expect. Her celeb crush was strolling right where she was. She needed to control her nerves. She didn't even know what to say yet.
“Excuse me,” a gentle hand grabbed hers, making her stomach flip. “Girl with the guitar?”
Turning around, she looked up to meet his eyes. His smile made him look even more handsome up close as he looked pleased to see her.
When she found her voice, she broke out into a smile, “It looks like you found me.”
“Looks like I did. It’s nice to finally meet you. Wow.“ he moved to hug her as she eagerly wrapped her arms around him.
‘Oh my God, his hugs! Lord have mercy, he’s so cute.’ she squealed to herself.
Pulling away he asked, "What’s your name?”
“My name is Jennie. To be honest, I was trying to act all confident in front of you but in reality, I was nervous to meet you.”
He chuckled nervously, “You’re telling me, I had butterflies when making my way over to you. Your cover for my song, I was blown away by your performance. I really love your voice.”
“Aw really? I love your voice, too.” she felt her face heat up, “I’d love to make music with you.”
“Yeah, I’d love that too,"
She continued to have butterflies in her stomach as she talked with him and it finally set in that she was in the presence of one of her favorite artists. He was so pleasant and friendly towards her as they got to know each other.
Their interaction began to go viral because cameras were taking photos, recording them, and live tweeting about the interaction. Fans were freaking out at how they looked at each other and when Shawn reached out immediately for a hug.
“The North America leg of my tour starts in July. Would you like to come by during one of the shows?” he asked.
“Yes!” Jen’s eyes lit up. “I’ll double check my schedule and discuss it with Big Hit. If I can make it, I will definitely come. I may have some free time around the September 10th show. I will keep you posted.”
“Awesome! I'd love it if we'd be able to sing together at the show. Maybe we can sing I Know What You Did Last Summer."
"For real!? You want me to sing that with you? I'll do Camila Cabello justice!"
"I know you will. It'll be fun. And when I write some new music maybe we can record a song or two together. Or like a remix of one of my songs. I really want to sing with you,"
Her heart soared at how eager he was to sing with her. She was thrilled her voice was able to touch him to be this excited about collaborating.
"Sounds like a plan! When BTS has their next tour, you should definitely come if you can.”
“I'd like that. So, you sing in Korean?”
“Uh huh. There are some English words in there, though. And we sing in Japanese when we create Japanese songs.”
“Wow, that sounds intense. Is it difficult for you?”
“Very. The most challenging for me is singing in Japanese. I’m still not quite familiar with that language but I’m trying my best to connect with our Japanese fans the best way I can. I'm still learning here and there with the language.”
"You're incredible,"
She giggled and covered her mouth. "Thank you,"
"I'll see you at the show. Can't wait to see you again soon," he pulled her in for another hug and walked away, leaving her face flushed.
Angelina laughed as she walked back over to Jennie and began to tease her in a high voice, "It's going to be OK, I was trying to act all cool! And yet Miss Walker froze and started giggling like a cute fangirl. I am so done with you. You folded faster than I anticipated,"
"Shut it!"
"So how'd it feel to be hugged by your celeb crush not once but twice? You two are trending on Twitter as we speak,"
"I am so happy,"
"Yeah, you keep cheesing. It's adorable,"
-------
Outside where all the production trucks were, Angelina and Jennie met up with Layla who wore a shirtless pink blazer and pink pants.
“Ooh! I see you. Look at you, exposing skin. We are SO back! This is a look~” Angelina complimented and hugged her
“I had to pop out. You two look so goooood!” Layla cheered. “Let’s take some pictures.”
Jen happily wrapped her arms around Layla, pressing her cheek against hers as they grinned goofily for the camera but in the background was Angelina photobombing with a meme face expression. Then they took some cute photos.
Jen posted the photos, 'I’m happy we got to see you! Looking forward to your solo music. Let’s leave the past behind,’
The photo went viral as soon as it was posted with Amity trending. Fans replied:
‘Three out of five! Come on, I hope the last two can make amends!’
‘Why are you still friends with her?’
'They look so fake’
'Three queens!‘
'I’m not crying! You are!’
'JENLA STANS RISE!’
'Awww I’m so happy they reunited and showed love to each other’
'Finally! Now we need Hailey and Trinity’
'I hope Hailey and Trinity can work things out with these three’
'I still don’t forgive her’
'This is the content I like to see. Positivity and uplifting each other’
‘People out here thinking Layla is some kind of demon. She apologized and they all made up. Let’s hope Hailey and Trinity can do the same and we can get an Amity reunion’
'THERE! Now STFU about them all hating each other’
'CHOKE HATERS!’
'Hailey, Trinity WYA? Apologize and get back together!’
'I prefer it to just be the three of them. No need for Hailey and Trinity’
'I don’t know how to feel about this. I just hope they’re all on good terms’
'I wonder what Hailey and Trinity think of this’
'Is anyone going to talk about Angelina in the background tho? LOL’
While Jen was backstage, Rihanna approached her as she stopped walking.
"You!" Rihanna called out, causing Jennie to turn around in surprise. "You are a bad bitch!" she praised and brought up how she watched Jennie's dance cover of the GTA Remix of Bitch Better Have My Money. She even told her that she looked beautiful and had been watching her do her thing in BTS, seeing great things for her in the future.
'No fucking way I just met Rihanna and she's praising me! What the hell!? Ahhhhhh!' Jennie began freaking out in her head as she kept thanking her for the praises and began to fangirl over how much she adored her.
Jennie was starstruck and managed to bring up how she had been one of her inspirations and hoped to be versatile in music like her. She even impressed Rihanna by speaking in Korean. The artist gave Jennie some words of wisdom while continuing to praise her for making a name for herself in Korea.
The two took a few photos together and Jen posted them, making fans freak out, 'I met Rihanna! Ahhhh! She called me a bad bitch! Life is amazing! #Jen'
Jen even met DNCE and raved about her love for the guitar, building a big connection with them. Pete Wentz had approached her first and asked her about her guitar passions, since he recognized her from some Fall Out Boy covers she had posted. She even told him she would love to collaborate with Fall Out Boy and to check out BTS.
Fans quickly noticed that a few celebs had started following Jennie and BTS on social media,
'GUYS! Jennie is being followed by CELEBS! LOOK AT THIS! Fall Out Boy just followed her!’
'RIHANNA FOLLOWED JENNIE! RIHANNA IS FOLLOWING MORE K-POP IDOLS! G-DRAGON, TAEYANG, CL AND NOW JENNIE! OMG! DO YOU KNOW HOW BIG THAT IS!?'
'Rihanna recently liked a video of Jennie and J-Hope dancing to one of her songs, too!'
Jennie even met Justin Bieber and spoke on behalf of Jungkook of his admiration for him and that he covered a few of his songs. Justin personally asked for the links, promising to give them a listen.
And once she ran into Shawn Mendes again, she finally took photos with him while Angelina took a few candids of them speaking and hugging.
Posting them on Twitter, Jen tweeted, 'Your girl met Shawn Mendes~! #Fangirling #HeCuteAF'
Fans trended #JennieMetShawn and #Shawnnie while tweeting,
'WE STAN’
'Jennie is NETWORKING NETWORKING! She's meeting everybody'
'COLLAB’
'Oh my God!’
'Lol he cute af, girl SAME'
'Biggest ship ever! This is so cute! I loved the anticipation of them finally meeting! This was worth the wait!'
'Somebody play Kid in Love by Shawn Mendes because this is adorable omg'
'LOOK AT HOW HE IS LOOKING AT HER! Kid In Love by Shawn Mendes!'
'A dream come true! I am so happy for her’
'BTS and Shawn fans, how we feeling?’
'SOBBING’
'YASSSSS’
'Wait isn’t this the BTS girl? OMG’
'Yooooooo’
'Legends!’
'My favs finally met!’
'I SHIP!’
'Look at how cheesy her smile is. She is so happy. Awwww’
'You deserve this!’
When they walked into the venue, as soon as BTS fans spotted Jennie walking, loud cheers were heard and she turned around to see them waving at her. She waved back and went to follow Angelina to where they’d be seated.
Throughout the show, fansites recorded Jen’s reactions, including her eating smarties during the show and frowning when she ran out of them. Then when she kept chewing her many pieces of gum like a cow fans thought it was hilarious and kind of cute.
Shawn and Jennie even exchanged snacks during the event, as their fans continued to ship them. She was even kind enough to offer him smarties before she ran out which fans pointed out.
Fans made sure to get a good view of Jennie watching in admiration to Shawn Mendes performing Stitches and singing along. Once it was time for Angelina to perform with The Weeknd, who had won many awards that night, Jen was the first one to stand up and dance, hyping them up as their performance moved the entire crowd. Angelina had walked out on stage with a purpose, as she rapped aggressively while The Weeknd was next to her.
Being nervous was an understatement for her. It was a big moment but when she locked eyes with Jennie who was cheering her on in the crowd, it completely made her feel at ease.
Jennie was like her remedy. Angelina would always call her, even if their time zones were different. Call her for things such as calming her down when she’s nervous, feeling hopeless, having issues, and wanting a second ear to listen to her craft. No matter what, Jen always encouraged her to communicate no matter the time it was in Korea. And to see her best friend here to support her, meant everything.
After the performance, Jen made her way backstage, rushing towards Angelina who had tears of joy in her eyes.
“You were amazing! I am SO proud of you!” Jen squealed and embraced her.
Unable to hold it in, Angelina began to cry, fortunate about the performance as The Weeknd joined in the group hug.
“You did so well! You killed it out there. We had fun out there, didn’t we?” he cheered.
“Hell yeah.” Angelina pulled away. “Thank you so much for this opportunity. That was so fun, man. Like damn, we really did that!”
As the staff backstage was all congratulating them, they wanted Angelina and The Weeknd to take a photo to post on Billboard’s social media.
Fans tweet:
‘Angelina is that bitch!’
‘RAW! Just RAW! The Weeknd and Angelina killed it’
‘Angelina did what she had to do!’
‘The fact that The Weeknd wasn’t even planning on performing tonight and decided to perform with Angelina! LOVE!’
‘This was FIRE!’
Later, Jennie even met Fifth Harmony and bonded with them quickly as they talked about their music. She praised their work and hoped for more success for them. She found herself vibing with Normani and Camila the most. She took tons of photos with the group and planned to keep in touch with all of them.
When the girls left, Camila Cabello stayed behind to speak to her further.
“Hey, I know this may be a bit abrupt but I wanted to ask you, you were the first to leave Amity, right?”
“Yeah! It was hard to make that decision but sometimes you just gotta spread your wings and go somewhere you think is better for you.” Jen responded. “It may be a tough decision but you need to do what is best for your life and you need to be happy. So, if you have music that you want to share with the world or a vision and where you are is not doing that for you, perhaps it’s time to go another route. That’s what I thought of when I left Amity. It sucks about what happened. I hope one day we can all be friends again and not be on bad terms but I do not regret leaving. It was the best decision for me.”
Camila nodded and smiled softly. “Thank you. I’ll remember that.”
“Are you...getting ideas?”
Camila hesitated. “I know we just met and all but you understand how I feel. I just want to explore my individuality as an artist. I love this group. But I feel like I can do so much more without being held back.”
Jennie nodded and held her hands while giving her a bright smile. “All of you are so talented in that group. And whenever you all want to do solo stuff, I hope it's just as successful as what you have achieved so far in the group. And you have me as your new friend. I'll support you,"
"You're really sweet, thank you. I'll support you, too. You said you're in a K-Pop group, now?"
"Yes. Korean pop. The group is called BTS. There are 7 guys and 1 chick, yours truly,"
“Wow, there’s a lot of you. It must be tough yet empowering being the only girl in the group, right?”
“It has its challenges but it is very rewarding.”
“Have you thought of doing some solo work in the future?”
“Yeah, I have a lot of stuff in my documents. The guys got stuff cooking too but we're still united and will remain a group. The stuff I have been working on I am not quite ready to release yet. I want to touch up on the songs as well. One day the world will hear it. Maybe in a few years. For now, I’d like to continue focusing on the group’s activities. The company I'm in now gives us more creative freedom than when I was in SongStress,”
----------
When Angelina and Jen made their way back to the hotel, they relaxed in bed, eating snacks.
“Just an FYI, Shawn was totally staring at you throughout the entire show.” Angelina giggled.
“Don’t play.” Jennie playfully kicked her.
“He was! He kept smiling and everything. I bet he likes you. He’s going to be disappointed when he finds out you’re taken~ haha,”
“I doubt that. He's just very happy to meet me,” she chuckled.
"You'd be surprised the guys that be watching you. I mean think of Jungkook and how long he's been watching you and pinning for you,"
Jen smiled as she thought of how things came about with her and Jungkook. "Touche,"
“Okay, so I wanted to wait until after the show to tell you this...” Angelina’s tone changed into a more joyful one.
“What happened?”
“So, you know the XXL Magazine, right? How they have their freshman class? Well...I’m going to be the only female in this year’s class!“
Jen’s eyes widened. “What!? Oh my gosh! That’s friggin huge!” she yelled in excitement and pulled her in for a hug as they both started freaking out.
“Ahhhh! Thank you!”
“When did you find out?!”
“A few days ago! I was on cloud nine! I cried when they told me. Things are really coming up for me. I can’t believe this. I’m really doing it. I am doing the things I wanted to do. Songstress couldn’t give that to me. But I persevered and now I’m doing my own thing.”
“As you should! What will you be doing there?”
“I’m supposed to be recording freestyles, cyphers, solo and group interviews. I am so excited.”
“Lit! I cannot wait to check it out!”
“You have K-Con coming up, right? I was wondering if you wanted to watch me film for the magazine. I’m really nervous about it. But with you there, I can feel a little more at ease. Ugh, I’m sorry. I always ask you to accompany me to all these events.”
“No, no, it’s fine, I’m glad you want me around to watch your success! You watch my success! We’re best friends. Of course, I’m going to be there and watch you grow. If Big Hit can let me attend, I will attend,"
“Thanks. It’s just that you just make me feel more confident and give me a sense of security. Like I have someone with me besides my manager and team that I can trust fully and can help me no matter what. I have my other friends in the industry but you are my number one. When I was on that stage tonight, when I saw you, my nervousness went away. You’ve always been there for me. So, I wanted to say thank you for the tenth thousandth time. I'll work on not getting so nervous when you're not there. But for now, in this moment, thank you for being here,"
Jen laughed. “You’re very welcome for the tenth thousandth time. If I’m free, I’ll tag along.”
“I love you,” Angelina gave her a big kiss on the cheek and another tight hug.
“I love you, too!”
“So, have you told your parents you’re dating Jungkook?” she pulled away.
Jen exhaled. “No. They don’t know yet. Jungkook is eager to see them when we travel for K-Con. He wants to tell them about us. He’s been trying to bring it up for a while and last time we finally had a conversation about it after I couldn’t think of another way to get out of it.”
She thought about the conversation.
-----
“Since we’ll be back in America for K-Con, let’s give your family a visit. It’ll be great to tell them about us,” Jungkook happily smiled.
Jennie hesitated. Truth be told, she’s been trying to avoid this conversation. He’s been bringing it up for a while now. And lately, he seemed even more persistent as the event was approaching rather quickly.
“Let’s...wait a little longer,” she murmured with an apologetic smile.
Normally when she said that, Jungkook would leave it be. But this time, he didn’t want to.
“Jennie, you’ve been avoiding this conversation for a while. Every time I mention it you freeze and act weird. What is the problem?” he spoke up with a frown. “Are you...”
“Never.” she cut him off, knowing what he was about to say.
She shook her head and let out a breath. Maybe it was time to let him know her feelings. She should be open about this and communicate.
“Tell me,” he softly added, placing his large, warm hand on hers.
“I’m nervous about it,” she admitted, looking down. “My dad is totally fine. I know he’ll happily accept you. He loves you and the rest of Bangtan. But my mom...she’s...not that open-minded and is one of those family members who would rather have me date within my race. And I can just see the disappointment now. I don’t want to deal with it. I don’t want you to deal with that.”
Jungkook’s eyes softened as he listened to her vent.
“It sucks. You make me so happy. And I love being in this relationship with you. But I don’t want any negativity from my mom and her views. I don’t want that to interfere with what we have. I don’t want to have an argument with her about you. I know I'm going to just get angry and lash out at her for not being happy for me that I found someone who sees me for me. I just wished she'd stop looking at color and just look at the personality of the person,"
Lifting up her chin, he smiled in reassurance. “It’s okay. We can make it work. I will do whatever I can to be accepted by your mom. So, she can support us. Trust me. Things are going to be fine. I promise.”
-------
Jennie exhaled sharply at the memory while telling Angelina everything.
“I am freaking out, Angelina. I just...I don’t want to deal with my mom on this,"
“Hey. Trust in him. If he says he got you covered and things will be all right, trust him. I bet he’s had this all planned out on telling your parents that you’re dating. And I hope that ya mama can stop being so closed minded. It is 2016. Get with the program.”
“You’re telling me,” Jen chuckled. "But yeah, you're right. I will trust in Jungkook. He always knows how to make things right. I can do this with him,"
------
The next afternoon, Jennie got ready for the day and finished baking, getting teased by Angelina about it.
"And you baked for him!? Girl...good luck when you go back to Seoul," Angelina laughed out loud.
"Shut up! I'm trying to be nice and leave a good impression!"
"Girl, you already made a good impression when you covered Stitches. Shawn is already smitten with you. Poor Jungkook," she teased.
"What!? Jungkook knows I bake for everybody! I baked for him and Bangtan before I left!"
"Uh huh,"
Jennie proceeded to get filmed for a Bangtan Bomb as the camera followed her to find Shawn's hotel room.
“I am on my way to surprise Shawn Mendes!” she cheered. “I baked him cupcakes and before I leave I want to give them to him. I hope he likes them. I’m super nervous,”
Knocking on the door, it took a moment for him to open up, dressed for the day. When he took a look at her, his eyes lit up.
“Jennie!”
“Hey! I wanted to stop by and say hi! And to give you these. I baked these for you.”
She walked inside his room after he let her in and presented him with Harry Potter themed cupcakes.
“Oh wow! These are for me? Thank you so much! And it’s Harry Potter!” he said with excitement.
He was so going to enjoy these on the road.
"Yeah! I remember you loving Harry Potter. I gotta take the test to see which house I'm in. You're Gryffindor, right?"
"Correct! I bet you'd be Gryffindor with me since you're so extraordinary,"
Feeling her face flush at the compliment, she giggled. "Thank you. I'll keep you posted on my results when I take the test. I hope the cupcakes taste good. I know your schedule is busy, I won’t keep you long but I hope we can see each other again, real soon,”
“Yeah! We’ll definitely keep in touch. Let’s take another photo before you go.” He suggested
“Yeah! Sure!”
Their interactions with each other were talked about immediately and even made K-Pop articles.
‘Sparkling Friendship between BTS’ Jennie and Shawn Mendes’
It talked about the two meeting at the award show and his recent Instagram post of his photo with her and the cupcakes as the caption said, 'I am so happy I finally got to meet you. Your warm, positive energy is infectious. One of the sweetest, and kindest interactions I had. Thank you, Jennie. Can't wait to sing with you. See u soon.'
Fans commented:
'WE STAN!’
'Awwwww’
‘Jennie has won at life’
‘She must be on cloud nine! Not only did she meet him but the girl was bold enough to bake for the man. Girlfriend material!’
‘Get you a girl that bakes for you!’
'I love how she bakes for everybody she meets. Bangtan is so lucky to eat her baking 24/7'
‘Now date!’
‘Collab!’
‘Thank you for being so kind to our Miss Bangtan. This means so much to her. I’m glad you two met!’
After hanging with Shawn, Jen and Angelina went to get a quick workout at the hotel gym.
"I'm telling you! Jungkook is going to freak when he finds out about you baking for the man," Angelina laughed
"I bake for everyone!" Jennie countered. "We've been over this,"
"I wonder how jealous he's gonna be,"
"Shut it! He'll be fine...hopefully...aw man, he's probably losing it, right now," she groaned.
"Oh yeah," Angelina giggled.
After their workout, they hear a voice say "Excuse me,"
Turning around, Jennie looked surprised. “Oh my gosh, hi!”
“Hi! It’s nice that I finally found you!” Halsey grinned, with a box in her hands.
“Me!? Hi! Oh my gosh, you’re Halsey! Hi! I-I love Badlands!”
“You said hi like three times,” Angelina laughed, making Halsey laugh too before she greeted Angelina whom she already knew.
“It’s okay, I’m nervous too. Thanks for listening to my music. I’ve been wanting to say hello to you since the show but I had to leave before I could find you. How are you?”
“I’m great! The show was so much fun. I hope that I can attend next year too and with BTS,"
"Yeah! I'd love to meet the boys!"
"I'm sure they'd be happy to meet you. I would hug you but I’m sweaty,”
“Oh, it’s fine. I’m about to leave and I know you’re about to go back to Korea but I wanted to give you this. It’s a big case of smarties. I did my research and saw that this is your favorite snack so I wanted to give you this,” she presented the box to her.
“Oh no, more smarties. You’ve done it now, Halsey,” Angelina teased.
“What!? Oh my gosh, thank you! Wow! I am so eating these on the plane,” Jen said excitedly.
“You're welcome! I hope you enjoy them! I’m doing the rest of my Badlands tour in America and if you’re free, stop by!”
“If I can make it, I will! And I’ll bake something for you. I baked something for Shawn earlier,”
“I saw! It looks great, I would love to try your baking. You want to take a picture?"
“Yeah! Let’s!”

WWF RAW MAGAZINE: OCTOBER 1998
is Austin the Greatest of all time?
by Kevin Kelly
FOR EVERY man who has won the World Wrestling Federation Championship, there should be virtual reverence. There is no greater pinnacle in the industry of professional wrestling, sports-entertainment or whatever you want to call it. From Buddy Rogers to Kane, no champion’s reign should be taken for granted. They’ve done what few others can ever claim. They were World Wrestling Federation Champions. But of all the greats who have held the title, who’s the best of them all?
I know that this is going to be a subject of debate and perhaps strong opposition in the “Letters to the Editor” department… but that’s fine. Any discussion of “who is the best?” at anything is purely speculative, unless those being compared meet face to face. But speculation has merit if it’s backed up with fact.
I’ve shortened the list of all-time greats to the six champions many consider to have had the most impact. The six to be considered are Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backlund, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin. All six are certain first-ballot Hall of Famers who have held the title on more than one occasion and were with the title than without. The obvious omission is the Undertaker, but he would still be the Phenom whether he had ever won the Federation Championship or not.
To me, Bruno and Backland were identical. Both were mirror images who reflected the times, but as wrestlers go neither was perfect. Both fought a slew of enemies from foreign lands and persevered despite evil managers conjuring up obstacles and new foes along the way. Both had one fatal flaw, however. Sammartino was very one dimensional as far as his attack strategy. Despite his predictable brawling style, he had a flair and he could make everyone in the crowd feel his pain. Backlund was just the opposite. Blessed with technical genius, the Minnesota native was cursed with a rigid personality.
In 1984, the regional promotion grew worldwide and Hulk Hogan was the centerpiece, Himself a symbol of the wretched excess that was the decade of the 80s, Hogan was by far the worst wrestler ever to be crowned Federation Champion. However, he had a multitude of charisma and “Hulkamania” was the rallying point with his act and unfortunately, whether it was his fault or the company’s, his character never evolved. Despite his faults, Hulk Hogan’s impact was so strong that some casual fans still think he’s Federation Champion, despite the fact that he is many years removed from his last reign.
From there, champions with impact were neither good or bad, but shades of grey. Bret Hart wore the Federation Championship belt on five separate occasions, but perhaps he is best remembered for turning against his fans before leaving the company in disgrace in late 1997. The “Excellence of Execution” was globally the most popular champion ever, but perhaps never shook off the loss he suffered in the Ironman match at WrestleMania XII.
[(From left to right) Bret Hart was never able to shake off his loss to Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XII. During his reign, Shawn went from living his “boyhood dream” to telling fans to “Suck it!” By far the worst wrestler to be crowned champion, Hulk Hogan had the charisma to make him a marketing success at the time.]
The man Hart lost to began his championship era by talking about his “boyhood dream.” By the end of his third reign, Shawn Michaels was telling people to “Suck it!” HBK certainly evolved while wearing the gold and always elicited a very strong emotional response from the crowd–be it positive or negative. Shawn didn’t care whether you liked him–he just wanted you to care. Michaels knew he was the man and his “Kliq”, which evolved into D-Generation X, certainly had a prominent role in behind-the-scenes politics as well. Just as with the fans, he didn’t care whether the office liked him or not–as long as they did things his way.
That brings us to Stone Cold Steve Austin, who has gained the most recognition as Federation Champion since Hulk Hogan. Whether it’s the cover of TV Guide, a plethora of appearances on MTV or half-time at the Super Bowl… wherever you go, you see Stone Cold Steve Austin. As a matter of fact, Austin has sold more merchandise than any other Federation Champion–past, present and, most likely, future. He is the closest thing to a cultural phenomenon since Elvis Presly. But unlike every other champion on this list, the King–who was disliked by older Americans–there is one thing that separates Stone Cold Steve Austin and, in my opinion, raises him slightly above the rest.
Quite simply, it’s universal appeal. Every former champ had a segment of the fans who didn’t care much for him. In some areas of the South, Hulk Hogan would be booed out of the arenas. In more hardcore climates, the “Sexy Boy” was jeered. In fact, many blame Shawn’s loss of the Federation Title at the 1996 Survivor Series on the New York fans for getting on him so badly. Bret Hart was always more popular in foreign countries than in the United States. Both Sammartino and Backlund were regional champions, despite their long reigns at the top of the Federation.
Put your finger anywhere on the map and that part of the world loves Stone Cold Steve Austin. His cross-cultural appeal, I think, can be attributed to his fundamental work ethic, his defiance of authority and the belief that he is a true tough guy. In the 1950s, John Wayne movies were popular all over the globe, despite cultural and linguistic differences. Why? He killed bad guys and didn’t take crap from anybody. You don’t need to understand English to get that.
[Stone Cold Steve Austin’s popularity can be attributed to his cross-cultural appeal, his defiance of authority (e.g., stunning the owner!) and the complete honesty with which his character is presented.]
Stone Cold Steve Austin has never changed. He has, does and always will flip middle fingers at the crowd and his boss. His language is offensive to the more refined and his rampant “adult beverage” consumption makes network executives and the Federation’s owner cringe. Perhaps it’s the complete honesty with which his character is presented that contributes to his appeal. Looking back, it’s hard to imagine us thinking that all former champions on this list were entirely good. That outdated, naive way of thinking went out the window when Austin 3:!6 opened up his first can of whoop-ass.
Certainly those omitted from this list of all-time greatest are going to be topic of controversy and debate. But I doubt that anyone will deny the impact Stone Cold Steve Austin has had. He is the greatest Federation Champion of all time, in my opinion. Does the man who beats the man become the next “greatest”? Perhaps. He just better find a way to command the respect and admiration of everybody who pays to see him.

Top 10 Ships Including POC in 10 Different Fandoms
Round 1 (?)
Tagged by @a-lil-bi-furious thank you babe I love these tag games so much and I’ll always take any opportunity to talk about my ships <3
1. Scott McCall/Stiles Stilinski/Malia Tate - Teen Wolf
They are my sweet precious babies and they deserved to be endgame. I was originally just going to do sciles but I truly believe Malia should be there, too.
2. Jeremy Gilbert x Anna Zhu — The Vampire Diaries
The TVD writers did them so dirty, they were so good together and I was heartbroken over Anna’s death.
3. Iris West x Barry Allen x Eddie Thawne - The Flash
I genuinely loved Iris/Eddie and obviously there’s Iris/Barry and then throw in Barry/Eddie, too?? The three of them would have been great together. (It’s the only gif I could find of the three of them 😩)
4. Suki Panesar x Eve Unwin - EastEnders
They have been through much and I am SCARED of what is going to happen to them, but I am holding out hope for their New Years’ wedding!!
5. Leah Barnes x Vicky Grant - Hollyoaks
I miss them so much, can Leah please come back and stop Vicky from self-destructing </3
6. Shawn Hunter x Angela Moore - Boy Meets World
I hate the writers (especially of GMW) for what they did to them. They should’ve found each other and gotten back together (they should never have broken up in the first place).
7. Quinn Fabray x Mercedes Jones - Glee
They are very special to me. I HATE that the writers completely forgot about them and the fact that Quinn lived with Mercedes and asked for her to be at Beth’s birth!
8. Carmen Howle x Lily Kettle - The Dumping Ground
My fave besties with Tension. They were so angsty at times and I still think about them <3
9. Vlad Dracula x Robin x Jonno Van Helsing - Young Dracula
The three of them were absolute chaos.
10. Kyle Valenti x Liz Ortecho - Roswell, New Mexico
My favourite exes turned friends with benefits <3

Various WWF Wrestlers x Fem Reader- "Battle Royale"
In August of 1997, there was a "Shotgun Saturday Night" episode that involved a battle royale involving several male wrestlers.
Some of the wrestlers in this match included Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Shawn Michaels, RockaBilly (who would later become Billy Gunn), Brian Pillman, Davey Boy Smith, Bret Hart, Thurman Plugg and several others.
Granted, in real life, there was a battle royale on "Shotgun Saturday Night" that involved Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Davey Boy Smith, Mick Foley/Mankind, RockaBilly, etc. but some of these other listed wrestlers like Shawn Michaels weren't in this match.
But this is just a fanfiction I've made up.
You were Hunter's valet and helped escort him to the ring.
In this battle royale, Shawn Michaels, RockaBilly, Bret Hart, Thurman Plugg and Brian Pillman all had their long hair hanging down.
Because Hunter was still somewhat playing his aristocratic blueblood gimmick, you were dressed in an evening gown when you led him to the ring for this battle royale.
During wrestling battle royales, if a wrestler falls out of the ring, then that wrestler is eliminated out of the match.
Before many of these wrestlers---in particular RockaBilly, Shawn, Davey, Brian, Bret, as well as Hunter---fell out of the ring, you walked up the stairs leading to the ring and walked above the ring's apron.
You walked to an area where these aforementioned wrestlers were.
As you walked up the stairs and above the apron, the male fans in the audience perked up and got excited, eager to see what you would do to distract these men.
When you stopped walking and stood nearby the sexiest wrestlers in this match, with a smirk on your face, you hooked your thumbs under the straps of your dress, raised the straps of your dress up until you removed your thumbs out of the straps of your dress, which caused your dress to shed off of you, where your dress fell down to your ankles.
Your dress basically shed and popped off of you, no need for you to bend down and pull your dress down to your ankles.
Under your dress was a white silky spaghetti strapped teddy (no, not a bear) that was a mixture of a chemise and short shorts.
That teddy you wore was the same teddy Mr. Roper's niece wore on a "Three's Company" episode, this one:
Placing your hands on your hips, many male fans in the audience got out of their seats and cheered when they saw you in that teddy, some of them were clapping their hands and many of the adult male fans whistled at you.
Some of the male fans were disappointed, they were hoping you'd wear a bra & thong under your dress.
While you stood there in that teddy, some of these male wrestlers such as RockaBilly, Shawn Michaels, Davey Boy Smith, Brian Pillman and others turned their heads and looked at you, where you stared back at them.
Shawn, RockaBilly and Brian couldn't help but smile and grin while they looked at you, they even wanted to walk closer to you to get a good look.
A few other wrestlers in this battle royale also looked at you with smiles on their faces, they even wanted to approach closer to you.
You interrupted this battle royale so Hunter could beat the mess out of his opponents, as well as for you to recreate a moment from "Three's Company".
Plus, it's awesome to distract several wrestlers in a match.
Not to mention, this moment of you distracting many wrestlers was like a recreation of when Miss Elizabeth pulled her skirt off at Summerslam 1988 to distract Andre the Giant and Ted Dibiase.
As many of these wrestlers were distracted looking at you, Hunter went all out and began trying to attack them, throwing punches to their faces, where the match continued on.
When the match continued again, you bent down and grabbed your dress, where you pulled it back up your body until it covered it again.
Before you shed your dress off of you, your teddy was hiding under your dress for good reason, and luckily the straps of your teddy didn't peek out before you shed out of your dress.
After you put your dress back on, you carefully walked out of the ring and down the stairs, continuing to watch this match and making sure some wrestler won't fall on top of you if he falls out of the ring.
You wish this battle royale could've had Jeff Hardy, Christian Cage, Chris Jericho, Scott Hall, Rob Van Dam, Tommy Rogers from the Fantastics, Leif Cassidy if he didn't have that tacky handlebar moustache (and his hair didn't look too awful), Nova from ECW, Sean Morley/Val Venis, Raven from ECW and WCW, Shane Douglas in 1997, Jim Powers from WCW, Jerry Lynn from ECW and even Chris Benoit.
There's other wrestlers who could've been in this match too.
But alas, those wrestlers were in other wrestling companies.
You want some of those wrestlers to be in this battle royale because they're sexy and you want to show yourself off in front of them while dressed in a teddy, although they've seen you in a teddy already, they've even seen you naked.
Actually, I wasn't sure if I should set this fanfic in August 1997, in June of 1997, at Royal Rumble 1997 in January or in the summer of 1996.

Pregnancy Announcement- pt 2: The Grants
(gif not mine)
pairing: jake ‘hangman’ seresin x fem!oc
characters: jake seresin, fem!oc (sarah), the grants (sarah’s family)
warnings: language, marrige, pregnancy, fluffy domestic hangman, im sorry if I missed any
word count: 827
a/n: this is part 2 of a 3 part headcannon of Sarah and Jake telling there friends and family of their pregnancy. however they are keeping the twins a secret from everyone other than Alyssa and Rooster
this is the next part in this oc series, which is inspired by @roosterscockpit ‘s ( @milesdickpic ) story ‘His Little Girl’ and yes the oc is based on me (but is mainly fantasy me lol)
*************
The day after the cookout, Sarah and Jake called up Sarah’s family.
They had sent her parents a puzzle for her mom to do, along with shirts that say ‘nana’ and ‘papa’. And a note that said 'don't open until we facetime’.
So, after sending a text to her siblings saying that they were going to do a ‘family FaceTime’, they got on Jake’s computer and called them.
“Hey guys!” Sarah smiled when everyone answered. Jake waved at the camera.
“Hey soon to be’s!” Sarah’s sister, Reba, greeted with a smile.
Everyone else greeted them right afterwards.
One of Sarah’s niece’s popped up on the screen, “Hey Aunt Sarah!” “Hi, Piper!” “I love you and I miss you!” “Oh, I love you and miss you too, Pipe.”
She smiled at everyone, “We both miss you guys so much.” Jake wrapped his arm around Sarah, “We really wish we would’ve been able to make it down for Christmas but the weather just wasn’t wanting to work with us this year.”
Sarah’s mom, Rebecca, just waved it off, “We understand. Though I wish we would have gotten to be there for the proposal.” Both nodded, “We wish you were to.” Jake chuckled, “I was actually going to propose at Bingo, like she got a bingo and I’d just drop down right there. But I think it was pretty special either way.”
Sarah’s oldest sister laughed, “Jake, we saw the video, the proposal was beautiful.” “Well, thank you Lizzie.”
“Did everyone get their gifts? You all should have gotten two,” Sarah switched the subject.
They had also sent shirts to her siblings, and their significant others, that said ‘aunt’ and ‘uncle’ respectively, along with the same note.
Everyone gave their version of a ‘yes’.
“Does that mean we get to open the other one now?” Sarah’s brother, Shawn, asked with a chuckle.
Sarah nodded, laughing, “First I want Mom to open her puzzle and put it together.”
Becca grinned and opened the puzzle box and began to put the pieces together.
“While Mom is doing that, you guys can open yours, but don’t say anything until Mom does.”
They did and Sarah and Jake watched on as they tried their best not to give anything away.
“Okay, finished…” A smile broke out on Becca’s face, “Oh my gosh.”
Sarah’s dad, Daniel, slipped on his glasses to read it, “What is it?”
“Dad, open the other box,” Selena said, smiling.
Dan did as instructed and opened the shirt box, pulling out the shirts.
“Okay, this doesn’t tell me what the puzzle is,” Dan said, looking back at the puzzle, reading the words out loud. “Baby Seresin due in Aug-”
He quickly looked at the shirts, seeing that one said, ‘nana’ and the other said ‘papa’.
Jake and Sarah laughed as it finally clicked for her father. “Surprise! We’re pregnant!”
Cheers came out over the speakers, congratulations flowing out.
“We should have known, their shirts say mom and dad!” Sarah’s nephew, Raiden, pointed out. Everyone turned to look, “How did we not see that?”
They all laughed.
“Wait, how are you gonna get your dress fitted for the wedding in time?” Elizabeth asked, genuinely curious.
Sarah nodded, “We thought about that and since we plan to have the wedding in October, I’m going dress shopping after the baby’s born in August.”
Reba furrowed her brows, “What about altercations?” “Oh, my friend Whitley is the home ec teacher and she said she do any alts I need for free.”
“Oh that’s cool.” Sarah nodded, “Yeah, she also made these shirts.”
“So, you’re due in August?” Shawn clarified. “Yes, it should be around the beginning of August.” Jake confirmed.
“Do you have name’s picked out?” James, Reba’s husband, asked. Jake answered, “Yeah, if it’s a girl we plan on naming her Finley Grace.”
All of Sarah’s sisters and her sister-in-law ‘awed’ at the name.
“What if it’s a boy?” Dawson, Selena’s husband, asked. “Finnegan Michael,” Sarah answered.
“Those names are so cute.” “Thank you.”
They talked for a little longer, mostly catching up and talking about what they may think the baby will be like.
“So, you think the baby will wanna be a pilot like you Uncle Jake?” Sarah’s niece, Kylie, asked. Jake shrugged, “I don’t know. But if it does, then that’s okay. If it doesn’t, that’s okay too.”
“Would you want the baby to be a pilot Aunt Sarah?” She shrugged, “Whatever makes the baby happy. But, I know whatever they do, they’ll put their all into it.”
They continued to talk before everyone had to go off and do their Sunday chores.
“We love y’all! And we’ll keep you guys as updated as we can,” Sarah said as they got ready to end the call.
Everyone said their ‘goodbye’s and ‘i love you’s, throwing in one last ‘congrats’ before leaving one by one. Until it was just Sarah, Jake, and her parents.
“We’re so happy for both of you. Call us if you need anything.”
“We will Mom. I love you.” Dan opened his mouth. “I love you too Dad.”
They all laughed. “Bye, we love you!” “Bye honey, we love y’all too!”
*Call Ended*
Sarah huffed out a breath and looked up at Jake, “Your turn.”
****************

Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye (Phase 02) #4: Life After the Big Bang
Read Date: September 27, 2022 Cover Date: April 2012 ● Writer: James Roberts ● Art: Alex Milne ● Colorist: Josh Burcham ● Letterer: Shawn Lee ● Editor: John Barber ●
Synopsis: At the Autobot medical facility of Delphi on the planet Messatine, First Aid has begun to write a journal chronicling what he believes will be the last days of the outpost. After granting asylum to two Militant Monoform Movement-aligned Genericons with a branched spark on the run from the Decepticon Justice Division, Delphi has been beset by a terrible plague…a plague that sees its victims cry themselves to death…
Celebrations, meanwhile, are underway aboard the Lost Light, as Autobots gather in Swerve's newly opened bar to celebrate finding themselves on the map. Ratchet and Swerve talk privately about a strange occurrence the previous night; both former subscribers to Fisitron's "Wreckers: Declassified" datalogs, the pair have just received a new datalog, which should be impossible, given that the author is dead. Although appearing to be only a string of random numbers, Ratchet recognized the data as medical statistics from Delphi, which reveal a bizarre trend: a constantly escalating death rate that has seen precisely half the outpost's patients die every month. Realizing that someone is trying to send him a message and that they are currently close to Messatine, Ratchet gathers up Drift and Pipes for an excursion to the facility, hoping that it is nothing, and—with his own irreplaceable hands growing increasingly worn out—that he will be able to appoint its commanding officer Pharma as new chief medical officer of the Lost Light in his place.
As this goes on, Ultra Magnus brings the news to Rodimus that Tailgate has decided he wants to be a Decepticon. With Magnus growing increasingly frustrated over his inability to enforce wartime laws in peacetime, Rodimus decides to have Rewind give Tailgate a supercompressed history lesson, projecting the key moments of the war directly into his mind. Horrified by what he has seen, Tailgate realizes the foolishness of his choice, and immediately goes to take out his frustrations on Cyclonus, whom he believes gave him a twisted view of history to make him look a fool. Unfortunately, he makes the mistake of punching Cyclonus on the arm, provoking violent retribution from the ancient Cybertronian, who silently smashes him to the ground, kicks him, and leaves.
On Messatine, Ratchet's team arrives at Delphi, discovering its main door marked with a gigantic red X. Pipes—over-impulsive due to the fact that this is his first time on another planet—smashes the door down before Ratchet can explain that the symbol warns of plague, and the little Autobot suddenly finds himself knee-deep in corpses, and in the path of a shambling, infected robot. Drift leaps to the rescue, slicing the plague carrier to pieces, at which point First Aid arrives to explain that, following a mysterious "big bang" five days prior, the facility has been infected by the Red Rust virus which liquefies its victims optics-first. Detailing their suspicion that the plague is the result of a chemical warfare bomb detonated by the D.J.D., First Aid leads them to ward manager Ambulon, who suspects that Delphi's medics have been uniquely resistant to the infection, and further explains that long-term patients are likewise unaffected. First Aid requests Ratchet's input on a new process he has developed, using a healthy spark to jump-start an ailing one, that he hopes to use on one of the outpost's prominent coma patients, but Ratchet is more concerned with consulting with Pharma.
Pharma, unfortunately, was inside the facility's quarantine room when the big bang occurred, and has been automatically sealed inside and unable to communicate through its thick glass. As everyone is regarding his predicament, Pharma burns a message into his own hand, warning the assembled Autobots that, behind them, Pipes has succumbed to the plague. Drift keeps Pipes busy while Ratchet hacks the quarantine room lock and frees Pharma, but the Autobot samurai is splattered with some of Pipe's liquefied innards and he too falls prey to the Red Rust. Ratchet and Ambulon rush to do what they can as Pharma runs off to the holding cells, claiming that he has figured out what has happened, only to be greeted by the two Genericons, freed by parties unknown via a remote override. The two Decepticons corner the Autobots in the emergency ward, preparing to end them, but First Aid pipes up: he has gone ahead with his experimental process using his own spark, and successfully revived a very angry, fighting-mad Fortress Maximus!

hi i’m cas, corvu, or crow and i’m making this blog to ramble about my writing, both fanfiction and original, it’s all likely to be queer in some way so obviously dni if you’re a homophobe, transphobe, racist, sexist, terf, radfem, prolifer, etc.
here’s a list of things i’m working on in order of progress:
Teen Wolf
I Have Friends In Not So Heavenly Places - a crossover with Criminal Minds in which a hacking attempt gone wrong gets the attention of the BAU, Sterek, ongoing, 18/?
Vera Natura - a season 2 rewrite with an original character as Scott’s cousin, Sterek, ongoing, 3/?
Sterek Week 2017 series - 7 works
Marvel
Horns and Webs and Miracles - self-indulgent fic going for that 2012 avenger fic vibe centering around Peter Parker, Loki, and Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, ongoing, 2/?
Earth-10088 Project - my own earth drawing sources from the MCU, comics, and shows focusing on “The Disasters”, which consists of Bucky Barnes, Clint Barton, Eddie Brock, Loki, Jessica Jones, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff, and Matt Murdock, WIP, will have one-shots, art, and possibly a longer story
X-Men: Apocalypse AU! - in which Peter is just a bit faster in getting to the school and a little more brave when talking to Erik, Nightsilver, WIP
Supernatural
Foster Witch AU! - follows an original character who is a hunter and a witch that comes across the Winchesters on a hunt, they notice that John is not such a great father, and fearing for the boys’ safety, gets them away from their father, deciding to stay with the witch, the trajectory of the boys’ life changes for the better, WIP
do re mi verse - in which Castiel is a singer who releases a song about his ex (Dean), the whole thing is messy and toxic, a song fic based on a Blackbear song, complete(?), 3 works
Bones
Science Class is Canceled - High School AU! one-shot, intended to be part of a longer fic/series, undecided if it will be continued
Did I Take It Too Far? - song fic based on NDA by Billie Eilish, a sort-of character study on Zack Addy during the Gormogon Arc, Zack Addy/Jack Hodgins, one-shot
Psych
Real Fake Psychic AU! and/or Fake Real Psychic AU! - after an incident Shawn finds himself getting flashes of things he should not be able to see or know, all of the sudden he and his friends get thrown into the supernatural underbelly of Santa Barbara while also trying to navigate their new abilities, Shassie, WIP
Danny Phantom
Uncanny AU! - Danny goes into the portal after his friends leave, but he thinks to put on a far more protective suit first, after realizing he can “go ghost” he also notices that the more he does it, the more it changes him in both forms, will have art, perhaps one-shot series or longer work, Everlasting Trio, WIP
Collection(s)
Bone(s) Storage - all Bones related
Was Such A Bad Idea ‘Cause Now Everything’s Wrong (song fics) - all song fics, multifandom, multiship, ongoing, 3 works
Original Stories
BoS - fantasy boarding school setting with lots of world building, based on Norse mythology, deals with classism and racism in a post-pandemonium world where people have been granted gifts from the gods
VS - a convoluted story beginning in blackmailing and leading to murder, with supernatural elements, following a college dropout
