Chapter 7

GAYO DAEJUN 2018

Jennie's POV

BTS was the first one to enter the dome, fans cheered them. After that hugging moment with Tae, I find myself longing for him everytime. I just can't get my smile off my lips. He always visit me in the dorm.

But we're not in a relationship, like what he said to my members the last time, he was just making up with our friendship.

I got hurt with what he'd said, but who am I? As long as we're okay now.

When our song played we entered the dome, we were situated beside BTS. He was dancing along with our song. I want to laugh at him but I can't, there are a lot of people watching. As we got into our position, J-Hope sunbae made Tae and Jungkook to move aside because there are still a lot of artists, Jungkook doesn't want to, he moved but not too far.

Jimin and Chaeng was standing side by side to one another. Jisoo unnie was standing beside Chaeng on her left. I was at their back with Lisa.

This setup makes me sick, I can feel Jungkook stares to Lisa, while Tae's on me. When all the artists gathered, the hosts welcomed everyone and we just clapped our hands.

"Unnie EXO sunbaenim is looking at you." Lisa whispered then I looked at EXO sunbae's place, as what Lisa said they're looking at me.

Both of our agencies want Kai sunbae and me to date. Well not in reality but just a setup just to cover Seungri oppa's illegal doings.

I don't want to do it. But our career's at risk.

I still haven't shared this with Tae. I don't know why but I'm afraid to what he'll react.

After the introduction of the hosts, we headed to the backstage. We were informed that we will take the right exit to the backstage. Our agencies want Blackpink and Exo to walk together, and so we did.

While walking I was shocked to see Tae and Jimin to walk with us, we're not that near to one another but it made my while being to calm.

It seems like they can feel something's going on.

Jimin bowed at me so I did the same. Tae changed their position, Tae was beside me now but there's still distance between us.

"Smile Jen." He whispered.

"Huh?" I asked. What was he talking?

"You looked tense." I smile at his sweetness, I saw Kai sunbaenim's face. He was shaking his head. Looks like I'm the bad girl huh? I'm not cooperating!

Tae went to the other hallway, maybe going to their dressing room.

As I entered our dressing room, Kai sunbae called me.

"De sunbae?"

"I want you to stop talking with BTS. You should be cooperating with me Jennie. You're agency asked for help. You owe me with this." He told me.

"I'm sorry sunbae. I'll do my best with this setu-"

"Why would she follow you?" My eyes widen when I heard his voice, I thought he went to their dressing room? Shit!

"Tae.." My voice was low, I want him to stop, but he went beside us.

"V, don't get your way on us. It's none of your business." Kai sunbae's voice was low but eagerness can be heard from it.

"Sunbaenim I'm not getting on someone's way here. I'm just protecting someone whose important to me." Their eyes are looking straight to one another.

Can someone come and help us?!

"Taehyung!" I was relieved when I heard Jimin. He's a close friend with Kai sunbae, he can probably stop this two.

"I'm warning you V. If you'll not stop things might get worse." Kai sunbae said. Tae's eyes was looking for an answer when he looked at me, but I saw that hope.

That hope that maybe I would tell him the truth. But would I? Can I?

"Kai what's going on here? Taehyung? Jennie?" Jimin still doesn't have any idea what's happening. He held Tae's arm but Kai sunbae looked at him.

"Stop this member of yours Jimin. He's getting in to someone else's business." Then Kai sunbae left. Leaving Jimin questioning himself.

Before Jimin van even utter a single word Tae looked at me.

"Don't go near them." He said then he patted my head and put his arm on Jimin's shoulder. They are slowly walking away. His diminishing figure was nowhere as they took the path to their dressing room.

When I entered the dressing room, Jisoo unnie noticed me spacing out.

"Jennie are you okay?" Jisoo unnie asked, she's having a retouch. Lisa was changing her clothes, while Chaeng is tapping on her phone maybe texting someone.

"Unnie, Tae saw me and Kai sunbae talking outside." Chaeng stopped from what she's doing. Jisoo unnie looked at me surprised.

"What?!" The two of them asked in chorus.

I sat on the sofa, what will I do now?

"What did he say?" Lisa asked as she got out after changing.

Chaeng told her what happened and her eyes became bigger. If that's acceptable.

"Did you told Taehyung oppa, unnie?" Chaeng asked.

I shook my head and sighed.

What did I put myself into?! This is making me lose my confidence. I can even picture out what's gonna happen if we'll continue this fake dating thing. I know a lot of fans may hate me, well not just me but the girls as well.

I don't want Jisoo unnie to do this because it's obvious that she's not the type of girl that will break rules. She's so pure and innocent. Though she dated Suga oppa but doesn't mean she is capable of doing this favor.

Chaeng can't do this too. She's young. Well I am too, but I treat her as my lil' sis. I want them to be happy. Lisa can't do this too, who would believe that he's dating Exo? I mean Lisa is beautiful but all she ever thinks of is that Exo is one of those idols that she can't see herself dating with.

These ladies are so desperate to get through everything without commuting something bad like this.

"I hate this." Lisa said. We looked at her. She sat across me she looked at me with pity on her eyes.

"Hey if you're thinking that you will do this setup instead of me, forget it Lisa. I won't allow you." I told her she pouted her lips.

"Maybe I can." Jisoo unnie whispered.

"Unnie." I called her.

"I mean what if we should tell Taehyung. He will help us Jennie."

"And what unnie? He'll sacrifice his career just to save me? No!"

"Jennie unnie you're overreacting. He's not gonna sacrifice his career okay?" Chaeng sounded like she's teasing me.

"Thank you for ruining my imagination Park Chaeyoung." I told her in English. And that remark made Lisa and Chaeng to smile widely while Jisoo was eyeing the three of us.

"Are you talking behind my back?" Jisoo unnie asked.

And at that we all lost it. We laughed at her.

"Unnie just remember that we're in this together. If you're hurt, we're too. If you're thinking what's good for us we have the same mindset unnie. We don't want to force you to do this thing, we want you to be happy." That's the first time I heard Lisa said that. Lisa being serious on this kind of situation is very rare. Really!

"That's the first time Lisa. But yeah she's right unnie, we're here for you." Chaeng was surprised to Lisa but she agreed to her.

I am very lucky to have them. They're always there to support me and to accept all my weaknesses and flaws in my life.

We can do this! Together!
