K-pop Idol Imagines

Tangled Temptations (Jennie)

Jennie stood nervously in front of the mirror, smoothing down the skirt of her dress and trying to ignore the knot in her stomach. 

She and Jongin had been engaged for three years now, and while she loved him, she couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't quite right. Jongin had been distant lately, and sometimes even harsh with her, making her wonder if he was losing interest in their relationship.

As she finished applying her lipstick, Jennie heard Jongin's voice from the other room. "Hurry up, we're going to be late," he called out, his tone impatient.

Jennie took a deep breath, trying to steel herself against his cutting words. She knew that he was stressed from his job, but she couldn't help feeling hurt by the way he was treating her. She finished her makeup and stepped out of the bathroom, trying to put on a brave face.

Jongin looked up as she entered the room, and his expression softened slightly. "You look nice," he said, but his words were devoid of any real warmth.

Jennie forced a smile, feeling the weight of their strained relationship bearing down on her. She knew that tonight was important for Jongin's career, and she didn't want to mess it up for him. 

But as they left the apartment and headed to the party, she couldn't help feeling a sense of dread in the pit of her stomach.

Jennie sat in the passenger seat, staring out the window as they drove through the city streets. She tried to focus on the passing scenery, but her mind kept wandering back to her relationship with Jongin. They had been engaged for three years, but lately, she had been feeling more and more unsure about their future together.

She thought about her parents, who had always urged her to settle down with Jongin. 

They saw him as a successful businessman with a bright future, someone who would provide for her and give her stability. But Jennie wasn't sure if that was what she wanted. She still had dreams of her own, things she wanted to accomplish before settling down.

As they turned onto a busy avenue, Jongin spoke up, breaking Jennie's reverie. "You know how important this party is for me, right?" he said, his tone serious.

Jennie nodded, knowing that he was right. But even as she nodded, she couldn't help feeling a sense of resentment bubbling up inside her. Why did everything have to be about Jongin's career? What about her hopes and aspirations?

As they pulled up to the entrance of the party, Jennie took a deep breath, steeling herself for what was to come. 

She knew that she had to put on a brave face and be supportive of Jongin, but at the same time, she couldn't help wondering if there was something more out there for her - something beyond the life of a dutiful wife to a successful businessman.

Jennie and Jongin stepped into the grand ballroom, and Jennie's eyes widened in awe at the sight before her. 

The room was expansive, with towering ceilings and glittering chandeliers that cast a warm, golden light across the space. The walls were adorned with elegant artwork, and the polished marble floors gleamed beneath the soft glow of the lighting.

As they made their way further into the room, Jennie felt her nerves start to bubble up again. 

Jongin was all smiles, waving and greeting people that he knew from work or had worked with in the past. 

But Jennie felt like an outsider in this sea of businesspeople and executives. She didn't know anyone here except for Jongin, and even then, she felt like she was just tagging along on the fringes of his social circle.
