When Jennie approached the national shooting team, almost all the athletes started acting like overexcited children who received the most wonderful presents on their birthday. They surrounded her and marvelled at her existence.
"Boss!"
"Oh, my gosh! I'm seeing finally seeing Boss in the flesh!"
"Boss, can you sign an autograph for me?"
"Can we take a picture together?"
Jennie chuckled and agreed to all their requests. There was nothing to worry about because the coaches were keeping a sharp eye on them, not to mention that there were many important people in attendance in today's gala. None of the athletes would dare to do anything bad to her and risk destroying their sports career.
The teenage athlete was a little shy in front of Jennie. He waited for his turn and allowed his seniors to interact with her first before whipping the slipper that he waved earlier.
"B-boss, can you s-sign this slipper for me, please?" he asked, blushing a little.
"Sure." Jennie grabbed the clean, new-looking slipper and signed it with relish. Then she posed with the shy teenager and took a photo together.
Although not everyone in the team was a Black Star or a member of the Slippers Army like the teenage athlete, all of them still asked for Jennie's autograph and took photos with her. Even the oldest athlete among them knew who Jennie was despite not having that much interest in celebrities or showbiz in general.
Jennie's hit songs were still being played on the radio and public establishments on a regular basis. Her music wasn't only enjoyed by a single demographic. She had fans from almost every age group.
In addition, advertisements for Orchida (Beauty, Mommy and Baby) were everywhere. Be they commercials, posters, billboards and web ads—she did the majority of them. Even the commercial jingle for Orchidia was written and sang by her. She was her own company's biggest endorser.
This was one of the main ways that she was able to stay relevant despite her maternity hiatus.
The athletes finally calmed down after the autograph-signing and photo-taking session with Jennie.
Jisoo and Chaeng could finally return to her side. Although they knew that she was a famous celebrity, they still would sometimes forget how crazy other people could get when seeing her.
Even world-class athletes were her fans. How awesome was that?!
Orchidia's trinity of goddesses requested to speak with the coaching team and the athletes to discuss an offer to become product endorsers.
"I'll do it!" the teenage athlete said without any hesitation. "My mom and sister love Orchidia Beauty products. I also use V's men's line because my mom forced them on me at first. But now, my skin can't tolerate other brands' products anymore. It only likes Orchidia Beauty now."
"I'll do it, too!"
"Count me in!"
"Coach, please accept the offer for us, okay? We promise to train harder!"
Jennie was pleased with the athletes' enthusiasm but it was still the team's coaches and the managers who had the final say. They didn't accept or reject right away but requested for more details and time to think about it.
Chaeng took over at this point. Jennie and Jisoo left her to discuss with the coaches and managers while the two of them continued chatting with the athletes.
While the three women were busy, V was once again surrounded by reporters asking him about his relationship with Orchidia's COO. He glanced at where Chaeng stood in the other side of the hall.
