jennie x bts one-shots

NAMJEN, bipolar, pt ii.

"What's going on now?" Namjoon asked, rushing into the office. It was just half an hour before that Chaeyoung and Jisoo had called him, talking, frazzled, about Jennie's state but he seemed to have understood.

"She's no better than before," Jisoo stated worriedly, "She's constantly talking about herself badly, and how she screwed up and how the company was in ruins, and what not- Chae and I don't know what to do!"

The taller man just nodded grimly, "I'll go talk to her."

The girl just watched him walk determinedly to Jennie's office. All she knew was that the both of them had had a huge fight over a week ago, and now they were refusing to talk to each other.

Jennie never disclosed why they fought.

It must’ve been pretty bad though, for her to cut off all contact with him for 2 weeks. They rarely ever fought - Namjoon was a patient man and Jennie was a calm person who could think rationally in situations, and always voiced out her thoughts after calming herself down. That's why even the way she had been acting at the office was abnormal, and now in tears at her office? Yup, something was wrong.

And Jisoo had a feeling that this incident and the fight were related.

"Shhh, it's okay," Namjoon came and first enveloped Jennie in a hug. The girl stayed limp in his arms before lifting her hands slightly to cup the small of his back slowly.

The tall man gently stroked her hair to help her calm down first, taking in slow breaths for her to listen to his steady heartbeat. He patiently waited for her to calm down, and slowly led her to the couch where they could sit.

"Jennie, we can't avoid this anymore," he took her hand in his, looking down at the brunette laying her head on his shoulder. She didn't budge.

"Jen," he repeated softly, tilting her head slightly, "Please."

Her eyes glistened with a sheen of tears, out of which one slipped, leaving a burning trail down her cheek. Her voice came out small, shaky, hesitant, "I’m not crazy."

Her lover was quick to reassure her, planting a kiss on her forehead, "You aren't, Jen."

"I don't have it."

"Jagi," he paused, "It’s not something that's bad to say, or anything. It's a clinical diagnosis, okay? You haven't lost your mind. Bipolar Disorder is as valid as any other sickness—"

Namjoon caressed her cheeks, "—You're not mad, you're not crazy. Everyone goes through sickness in their lives, you're not abnormal."

Tears were leaking out relentlessly now, and the girl sniffled, "But what can I do? Look what I've done! I’m ruining the company! I’m—"

"Hey, hey," he rubbed her back in a slow circular motion, "First, I'm you didn't do any lasting damage. It’s not the end of the company, and we can solve the problem okay? This company problem, leave it for now. Focus on yourself, alright?"

"But—"

"Listen, Jen, I can help you. I’m here for you always. This problem can be resolved okay? I’ll be with you, every step, every therapy session, every decision made. Don't burden yourself with all of this."

Jennie’s lips finally quirked up slightly, "Of course, why else did I date a psychiatrist? Free therapy."

Namjoon rolled his eyes, but smiled and leaned down to plant a kiss on her lips.

"We will get through this together, okay?"

Jennie smiled back, tears brimming her eyes, voice tiny, "Okay."
