jennie

jennie looked down at yoongi affectionately, her heart swelling while the circus in her stomach went berserk from what just happened. her answer was obvious, but she couldn't believe her own ears. he wanted her? why?

the situation began to catch up to her as she realised their current position, her legs trapping his body under hers with his large hands on her waist, all their attention on each other, their unsteady breaths somehow in sync.

"really?"

yoongi look puzzled. "yeah? of course," he spoke gently, as if he could hear all the insecurities running through her head and wanted to assure her that there was no one else in the world he would rather be with than her.

"then, i'd love to be yours."

and with that, their lips met once more and they laid in each other's arms all night long, both trying to savour this moment for as long as it lasted.

when they came to school together the next day, hand in hand with matching grins, lisa couldn't help but squeal. after rooting for them for so long, the group of girls were absolutely ecstatic to finally see them achieve their happy ending.

"don't say a word," jennie grumbled, embarrassed when they practically sprinted to the newly-formed couple. people were staring at the commotion that they were causing, and jennie was starting to feel conscious. she looked up at yoongi, panicked, yet he just smiled gently in response.

"relax, i want the whole world to know that you're mine."

those words did nothing to make her feel relaxed. it was the exact opposite, in fact. it felt like her stomach just did a somersault and the elation that she felt was making her giddy.

yoongi's words didn't go unheard by the other girls, however, as they all gushed even harder than they already were.

jennie pursed her lips to stop herself from smiling and dragged yoongi past the girls towards their classroom, completely ignoring their existence. yoongi laughed at how flustered she was being and waved goodbye to the fan club that was lisa, jisoo and chaeyoung.

in all honesty, jennie had never been in a relationship before. how different was it gonna be from just being friends? was there anything in particular that she was supposed to do as his girlfriend? what if as yoongi learns about more her and discovers all her flaws, he'll decide that he doesn't like her anymore?

what if this ended badly and she wouldn't be able to be around him anymore?

there were so many things to be afraid of, and yet the fear that jennie felt seemed to diminish instantly whenever he was there, to hold her and treat her like she was the most precious thing in the entire world. while they've only been talking for the past 5 months, she knew that yoongi wouldn't do anything to hurt her intentionally. with him, she felt safe. she felt like she could be herself without having to rack her brain for something to say. even their silence was comfortable and above all, she was happier than she'd ever been in her entire life.

she didn't realise she was staring at him until he squished her face and pecked her on the lips.

"ah! sorry i was spacing out," she said sheepishly. god, help me. he's really trying to kill me.

"heh, it's alright," he mumbled in her hair as he pulled her to his chest and snuggled her close. yoongi was being extra cuddly today, and jennie was enjoying every second of it.

"so what were you thinking about?", he asked.

she sighed into his chest, breathing in his scent.
"i guess i'm just worried about us. i've never been in a relationship before and i'm scared that i'll mess up, you know? i just really like you and the thought of possibly losing you is terrifying."

yoongi chuckled, and jennie looked up at him curiously. "you'd have to mess up pretty bad to get rid of me, babe. " — jennie blushed at the pet name — "besides, this is my first relationship too. we're together in this, okay? i'll take care of you, i promise."

yoongi's gentle smile followed his words as he rubbed her back reassuringly. he leaned down and kissed her forehead, followed by her nose and finally her lips. she giggled and pulled away, slipping her hand into his to drag him towards their first class before he could worsen the pda.

"ok, babe."

yoongi laughed as he trailed behind her.
