In my imagination.. the whole thing would be shorter. Until i wrote it down, I realized it's really long so I cut it into two.

Wait for the next chapter~~

---JENNIE'S POV---

"MOMMY! DADDY!!!!" I yelled and ran from outside the street into my mom's arm. My dad came out with Mr.Jeon and I hugged them. "Appa!! Mr.JEON!!" I locked their heads and hugged them tight.

"Oh My God! Is this you Jennie??" My mom asked.

"Yes!!!!!!!" I hugged her again.

"Jungkook!!" Mr.Jeon yelled. Jungkook ran to him and hugged him, "It's been a long time son," he said.

This reminded me something. Where is mrs.Jeon? Why is Mr.Jeon here alone and works at my parents' restaurant when he could stay at his hometown, Busan, with his wife. Where is mrs.Jeon!?!?!

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Madden. My name is Kim Ji Wook, I work in the JYP Entertainment and I am in charged of the trainees in JYP," Kim Ji Wook introduced himself and showed my parents his necklace.. card... ID.

"Annyeonghaseyo! My name is Jokwon, I am a singer in JYP," Jokwon oppa introduced.

"Ah, Nice to meet you all!" My dad shook their hands, "How are you doing?"

"Jennie," my mom whispered to me, "You need to eat! You look so skinny! It's making me.. I feel.. Jennie, I'm worried!" She looked at me and keeps on touching my cheeks. She constantly squeezing it and I felt as chubby as before.

"Mom, I'm eating fine!" I pulled het hand away from my cheeks. Her hand by itself went back to my cheeks and keeps on rubbing it.

"I think so too.. Your cheeks are so smooth and squishy!! Your so cute!! MY LITTLE BABY IS SO CUTE!!!" She brought me in and hugged me.

Oh. My. God.

"Ah wait.. Sorry Jennie, I'm wearing my dirty apron. Did I messed up your clothes? I'm sorry," My mom apologized.

My mind went blank. Why is she treating me like this? I feel like a stranger... I can feel a sudden goosebumps in me.

"Omma! Why are you apologizing. It's not even worth it. This is my dirty---" I stopped. I turned my head to Jungkook. I forgot. This is Suga oppa's shirt.

"Mama, it's okay," Jungkook said for me, "It's my dirty, old, sweaty shirt anyway. I need to wash it sooner or later," he smiled at me.

"Oh my! It's your shirt!?!?" My mom gasped.

"Mom! Ignore the shirt!!" I yelled, "I'll wash this shirt later,"

"Later?" She asked.

"Honey," my dad called her, "He wanted to talk to us about Jennie's training,"

"Jennie? Her training? Why? What's wrong?" She looked blanked.

"Why don't we sit down first and talk about it?" My dad offered him a seat in the restaurant.

"Jennie, why don't you go get some clothes? You need more clothes for the training," Jokwon oppa said. He told me to go and I understood.

---JUNGKOOK'S POV---

"Uh.. Dad? I'm gonna go get some more clothes," Jennie told mr.Madden and ran up to her room.

I stayed behind Mr. and Mrs.Madden with my dad.

"Appa, how is omma?" I whispered.

"She's fine as always," he patted my back, "Don't worry about your mom and continue your work as a singer," he whispered to me.

Kim Ji Wook smiled, "There's nothing wrong with Jennie and her training, she's doing great, very well. It's just that there's some good news and some changing of the place she will be training at,"

"Training?" Mr.Madden asked.

"Yes, these past 4 months, she's been training quietly at Big Hit Entertainment with him and his group, Bangtan Boys. Big Hit is a sub entertainment of JYP and the reason why she was training is like what we told you, to get her a chance. She wanted to loose weight and learn about music. We accepted her request because we thought she would have that chance," Ji Wook nim explained.

Mr. Madden and mrs.Madden smiled at each other.

"She was quietly trained and only a few knows about," Jokwon hyung added.

"Now that she is good enough, we will start on her request. She asked us 4 months ago to join their group of friends' group and train with them until debut. I think now is about time. She will now move back to JYP and be one the trainees," Ji Wook nim said.

"Wait friends? HER group of friends?" Mrs.Madden asked.

"Yes, they are Myeong Kae In, Neang Nelson, Ryu Ah Na, Tae Aiden, Cari Luis, Boluk Semra, and Choi Sora. They are trainees of the JYP Ent. and have already formed a group," he said.

"THEM!?" Mr.Madden surprised, "I thought.. They only dance for fun and to earn money. They can actually dance?" He asked.

I laughed.

"Even more, most of them could rap and sing. Their inner talent was able to shown and trained while being a trainee," Ji Wook said, "So from now on, Jennie will be training with them until their debut,"

"Oh.." Mr.Madden nodded.

"So she's not training with you anymore?" My dad asked me. I smiled and nodded. He laughed and rubbed the back of my neck.

"How long will she be training?" Mr.Madden asked.

"Most trainees trained for about 3 years until they're ready. We have one trainees trained for 7 months and he already debuted..." Ji Wook nim said.

"So they would be trained until they're ready to set off," Jokwon hyung added.

"Yeah! Jennie and the others members learn really fast. So, soon enough, they would debut, at least a year?" He said.

"Ah.. Okay!" Mrs.Madden agreed.

"We have this paper," he took out a piece of paper and a pen, "Please read it over about Jennie's training as a trainee, her schedule and our rules. Debuting is not a guarantee. We never know what would happen BUT I am 95% sure she will debut," Ji Wook nim gave them the paper and pencil.

Wow. Why am I feeling like this. I feel like taking away that pen and paper. Ripping the paper. Not wanting to see this.

"If she can't debut with her members, I'm sure she could debut as a soloist. Her voice is amazing! I fell in love with her!!" Jokwon hyung joked. We laughed and felt more comfortable.

"Yes, I heard her voice before, with Jungkook! Their voices were beautiful," mrs.Madden said.

"Thank you!" I thanked her.

"Her training starts from after school to 9 o'clock. She is taking her clothes with her because she might stay or sleep at the practice room. Well if you just read it and sign here. Leave her in our hands and we'll make sure to make her dream come true," JiWook nim said.

"Okay," Mr.Madden and Mrs.Madden signed on it.

I felt regret. I don't want to call it regret but.. Sad?

---JENNIE'S POV---

I ran up to my bathroom and dumped out all the dirty clothes. I miss my bathroom..

I headed back to my room and got all surprised. It's so clean and neat. While I was living in this room, it was always messy. I think my mom cleaned them. Thank you mom... or dad. I opened my closet and shocked.

Ah right, these are the clothes for the old me.

The shirts are so big and the pants.. I literally have no pants to wear. I grabbed the most comfortable shirts even though its big then put them in my back pack. For pants, I picked the ones that have the strings so I can tighten them up. Not to forget my under guards~ All my jackets and hoodies were also put into my back pack. There's like.. no more space anymore.

"Oh!..." Something caught my eyes. I smiled and dropped the back pack. I took it out of the hanger and take a look at it. It was Mark oppa's jacket.

I smiled bigger, "HEHE.." and brought it in to smell it.

Creepy. But, the smell is there. Mark oppa's clone smell. I turned to my walls and fell in love with Mark oppa again. His picture is still there and it's huge! He was smiling at me and the word "Never Give Up," is besides him.

"I should return this to him..." I told myself.

"Jennie! We're leaving!" Jokwon oppa suddenly opened the door and peeked his head in.

I quickly hid the jacket behind me.

"Woah! Your room is nice! It's refreshing in here! OH! You have a piano?" His eyes shines at the piano.

My eyes went to my wall. It was right next to/behind Jokwon oppa. I can't let him see my giant Mark oppa poster. No....

I picked up my back pack and randomly put Mark oppa's jacket inside. There was no more space so I had to use force on the jacket. Sorry Mark oppa!

"Oppa! Let's go!" I ran to him and pushed him out the door. He was fighting back and I shot glares at him.

"Nooo! Let me play with the piano!!" He pushed me back in.

"No! We're late! Let's go!!" I pushed him back. My strength was the same as his strength. I can't believe he's so weak. It's a 50/50 chance. "OPPA! Let's GO!" I yelled and kicked his foot. He backed off and grabbed his foot. I quickly left the room and shut the door. "Oppa, let's go?" I said again but in a more sweeter way. I locked his head in my arm and pulled him down the stairs.

Instead of leaving now, we stayed a little to eat our dinner in my parents' restaurant. I missed my mom's cooking. After that, it was past 10 o'clock. When everyone in the building would be mostly empty.

"Hello!!" I bowed to each and every staff in the building. Jungkook and I felt small here. The building is big and there aren't that many people here. Yup, like before.

"Jong Shi-ssi! Do you know if JYP is still here?" Ji Wook nim asked.

"Oh yeah... He's in his office!" He answered.

"Oh.. And the trainees? What about them? Did they went home?" Ji Wook nin asked.

"Trainees? All the trainees should be home by now,"

"Uh.. The boys and girls trainee group," Jokwon oppa said, "They went home?"

"Oh! Them? I don't think so. They stay here most of the time. I think they're practicing with the Got7 rookies," he answered.

Woah. I'm so proud of them. They train until midnight. And GOT7 oppad! OMG! They're here too!

"Ahh! That's great! Thanks Jong Shi!" Ji Wook nim patted his back.

We headed first to JYP's office. I finally get to meet him and he was surprised. He was proud of me. He asked me to sing for him again. I didn't let him down. I sang with all m heart and tried my best. He can't wait to see me practice. You know what that means? I am now officially a JYP trainee.

---JUNGKOOK'S POV---

"Jennie-ah!" I whispered to Jennie. We were walking behin Jokwon hyung and Ji wook shi, "I'm happy for you!" I smiled. I had to tell her that. Her smile couldn't leave her face and I just have to tell her I am happy too. To see her smile.

She smiled back but brighter, "Thank You! I am so happy! The feeling of being a trainee is so different. It's way different than being trained in Big Hit," she told me.

"Guys!" Ji Wook nim surprised us. "This is one of the practice room. Your trainees friends and Got7 are in here, you can come in with you want," he said.

"Oh! How about we surprised them?" Jokwon hyubg said.

"Surprised?" I asked.

"Yeah, Ji Wook shi and I will go in and tell them the news. When it's time, come in and show them the new you!"Jokwon hyung explained

I looked at Jennie and she looked at me.

"Uh.. Sure.." She said.

"That's not bad. You guys have been friends for a long time right? Ever since you trained in Big Hit, you haven't been seeing them much right?" Ji Wook shi said.

"Yeah, it's been a long time," Jennie smiled.

"Wow! Okay! Let's go?" Jokwon hyung asked. They both went opened the door and left it open for us.

We hid against the wall and felt nervous. Jennie was breathing heavily and put her hands on her chest.

"I'll hold the back pack for you," I offered. I took the back pack off her her and wore it on one of my arm. "Nervous? I'm always here for you," i patted her head.

---NO POV. PRACTICE ROOM---

"ANNYEONGHASEYO!" Everyone bowed as Jokwon and Ji Wook came in. The GOT7 members and the trainees.

"You guys are practicing?" Ji Wook asked.

"Yeah.. We're practicing our songs and they're practicing why they learned," JB said for everyone.

"Oh, good job! Keep on practicing!" Ji Wook said, "Trainees,"

"Yes?" Aiden answered.

"We have good news for all of you. You all know Jennie right? Jennie Madden? You're friend who wanted to be a trainee 4 months ago and failed?" Ji Wook asked.

"Uh.." Kaein looked at the others, "Yea?"

Good news? About Jennie is not really a good news.. Kaein thought.

"She is now a JYP trainee," Ji Wook finally stated.

"WHAT!" Everyone yelled.

"Jennie!? No, she can't!" Ahna yelled.

"We can't let her involved with us," Aiden said.

"Wait, you mean adding into their group?" Junior asked.

"Yeah..." Jokwon answered.

"We can't let her be a JYP trainee yet!" Luis yelled.

"We can't let her be in our group either!" Ahna yelled.

Ji Wook and Jokwon looked at each other. "Why..?"

"She just can't!" Ahna said.

"Did she auditioned? Kim Ji Wook-nim we can't have her!" Semra yelled.

"Why not?" Jokwon asked.

"She might or might have passed the audition," Ji Wook lied, "But either way, why can't she be a trainee?"

"Because!!" Sora yelled, "Because..." She looked at the rest of the members.

"Because she is not good enough yet!" Semra said, "Maybe she could sing but she can't dance! She is too fat for that,"

"She knows well she can't dance either," Sora added, "She told me she's on a diet, I think she needs more time,"

"Mark hyung! JB hyung! Help us out?" Luis asked.

"Well.. Yeah, she has an amazing voice but she doesn't know anything about music yet," JB spoke up.

"Singing isn't easy and so is dancing.." Youngjae said.

"Yeah! She doesn't know how to read music or anything," Nelson said.

"Kim Ji Wook-nim, please look over at Jennie again, she still needs a lot of helps. Like A LOT." Luis said

"Can we like.. rethink about this again?" Semra asked, "Please?"

"We can't let her in!" Kaein stated.

---JUNGKOOK'S POV---

I couldn't believe what I heard. Aren't they Jennie's friends. Why aren't they happy about it but instead calling her fat and not letting her in? They're not true friends.

I took a look at Jennie. She had her head down. Her hair and hat was covering her face. Her hand squeezed her shirt in anger.

Uh.. I scratched my head. What to do now? What do I do?

"Jennie," I called her softly and grabbed her hand. She was grabbing onto her shirt tightly until I released it and massaged her hand. "Jennie?" I came in front of her and lowered myself. I tried to see her face but she was hiding them.

"I..." She tried to talked but instead, her tears spoke for her.

I patted her head and brought her in my chest. She cried louder and squeezed my shirt. My heart hurts hearing her cry. I can't stop rubbing her head and patting it.

When she is crying, I felt like I have so much pressure in me. It's like I have to take care of her. I have to make her laugh. I have to be the shoulder for her to cry on. Seeing her crying, she looks so weak and small.

"Can we like... rethink about this again?" A girl asked, "Please?"

Jennie left my chest. My hand was still grabbing onto her hand. I can understand her feeling by holding it.

"We can't let her in!" A guy finally stated.

Jennie let go of my hand and ran in.

"Wait! JENNIE! No!" I yelled and entered the room with her.

---JENNIE'S POV---

I'm done crying. Seriously!!?

"Wait! JENNIE! No!" Jungkook yelled and entered the room.

All attentions were to me, and Jungkook. I wiped my tears.

"How could you!" I yelled.

"J-Jennie..?" Semra unni looked surprised.

"Yea.. It's Jennie. The girl who you guys don't wanted to be involved with," I said, "Unni.. Oppa.. How can you all said that!?" I screamed.

"Jennie we---" Aiden oppa tried to talk.

"Because of you, I worked until sunrise! Because I wanted to be like you, I had to fight against food and you all know very well I love food!" I yelled, "I wanted to sing and dance so I had to get trained really hard! I barely get any sleep because I want to quickly come back to you and that you don't have to wait for a long time!!" I held my tears.

They all stared at me.

At the corner of my eyes, I can see Jungkook trying to back of and leave the room. I grabbed his hand and at the time, the tears I was holding in dropped. He gave a little, slight, warm smile and stayed.

"Sometimes I really wanted to cry to real bad," I continued, "Sometimes I don't even eat. Sometimes, I wanted just one minute of a quiet time. Where I would think of the reason why I'm suffering like this and who am I. To be honest, these 4 months was full of training and just 4 months seems like a whole year. At that time no one! None of you were there for me! Only him and his group were there to suffer with me...." I cried.

Tears are running down as I remembered the past four months. It was living in hell for me. Without knowing, I think I squeezed Jungkook's hand too hard.

"Looking at the pictures on Instagram.. It makes me wanted to work harder. I pushed myself more and work stricter while you guys looked happy in the picture. Now that I accomplished my mission and come back, I was kicked out. Unwanted," I said in English.

"Jennie, it's not---" Nelson oppa started talking.

"Then what is it!?" I screamed, "I suffered and came back here with the thought that you will be welcoming me but instead you guys and the Got7 oppas are pushing me away!!" I yelled and raged out of the room.

"JENNIE!" I heard Jokwon oppa yelled with them.

"Jennie WAIT!" Jungkook yelled. .I can hear his footsteps following mine.

I didn't turn back or stopped. I didn't know where I was heading to but I still keeps on running.

Why?

Because someone told me to never give up. That person gave me an advice and it keeps my strength alive. It was my persistent key.

I keep on running and didn't stop because that would be giving up.
