God's Plan | Taennie

Part 9

Jennie's P.O.V.

I rushed into the house as I got into the front yard, threw my shoes somewhere in the room, and started walking around alertly, moving my hands up and down into my hair in panic.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit!" I shouted as I grabbed my mask and threw it on the couch, not caring that it landed on Jisoo's lap. "You've caused me so many damn problems today, you dumb mask!"

"Whoa, Jennie, calm down, please. I'm sure we can work out whatever problem you have", Jisoo said, pausing the movie and getting up calmly. Her voice wasn't raised at all, which showed me she didn't really consider this something serious.

"No, we can't!" I shouted without realizing. "This isn't solvable!"

"Jennie, I think Jisoo is right", Rosé said too, and got up resting her palm on Jisoo's shoulder. "Just tell us what happened."

I looked behind them, at Lisa. She didn't really care what was going on - she was just sitting on the couch and staring at the frozen TV screen, waiting for the moment when she could continue watching the movie. 

"Well, let's say Kim Taehyung asked this girl out", I began, feeling a bit uncomfortable to share this with someone else apart from Lisa. "And that girl is me."

"Wow!" Rosé exclaimed. "You guys are dating?! Cool!"

"Yeah, really cool. But why were you swearing at the mask like a delinquent earlier?" Jisoo asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

"You didn't let me finish", I began again. "He doesn't know that girl is me. You see, I didn't want people to know it was me with this horrific red eye, so I used the mask to protect my identity. Then I accidentally bumped into him when I was ready to leave the Gucci store, and I pretended to be a fan so I didn't make it obvious to him that it was me behind the mask. Then we had a little conversation and he told me I seemed like a kind person, so he'd like to take me out on a date tomorrow. I knew that a fan wouldn't refuse if a BTS member would ask her out - so I had no choice, and I said yes. But what do I do now, that's the question?!" I said really quickly, but the girls seemed to have understood my point.

"That's pretty nice", Rosé said, having no other words available. 

"Well why don't you just tell him it was you?! I've observed you guys lately, and it seems like you've made that boy smitten. I'm sure he'd like to go out with you - with or without the mask, with or without the red eye", Jisoo said, smiling.

For a moment I felt like Jisoo was right, but then little sequences of our conversation flashed into my mind like a dramatic movie.

"She's very arrogant."

"She's like fake Gucci."

Just remembering it made my skin crawl. Aish- that boy! 

"I can't, Jisoo", I said with honesty, and pouted. "He...told the 'fan' about me, and about how I'm arrogant and all that."

"Well a gentleman clearly does not do that, even when he's trying to play hard to get", Rosé said promptly. "Especially an idol - he should be more attentive and not give this kind of information to fans. Thank God that was you he was talking to, cause what if it were another fan, like, a random person he met? You never know the power of fans. They spread rumors like Nutella. In a few minutes your relationship with him would be viral on the internet."

 "Rosé, stop, you're not helping", Jisoo said, rolling her eyes at Rosé. 

"Well I guess I'll have to keep pretending", I said, and sighed.

"It isn't going to be easy, but you can try. If you have no choice", Rosé said.

"I don't have any other choice, trust me." 

All Kim Jennie has the power to do right now, is to go on a date with Kim Taehyung using a fake identity.
