a/n: a side note, as the book progresses, there will be more chapters like this :) and there was a timeskip of two months after taehyung sent a pic of himself to jennie

jennie was excited. she had texted yoongi that she was going out for a movie night with a friend, so he wouldn't get worried. he spent a lot of time at her dorm room.

she personally hadn't seen jungkook. she could've gone and looked him up on instagram, but she didn't want to come off weird or creepy.

she stood outside jennie's, eyes anxiously on her phone, her curled brown hair sweeping over her shoulders.

there was a slam of a car door, she looked up. it was a boy, she had a feeling it was jungkook.

holy shit, jennie thought. he was good looking.

you still love yoongi jennie! she reminded herself inwardly with a slight chuckle, putting away her phone.

"jungkook?"

"i thought you were jennie, holy moly you are pretty!" there was a care free grin on his face, jennie couldn't help but laugh.

"thank you. do you want to get ice cream before we go?"

"sure. i come here all the time."

"so do i!" jennie grinned at him before walking inside.

"so you're younger than me?"

"you are taehyung's age right? then yes."

"i am. does that make me your noona?" she teased, nudging her shoulder against his as they headed towards the auditorium. jungkook rolled his eyes.

"whatever. let's get inside."

she pushed her hair behind her shoulder, glancing around the auditorium. it was much like her school's, just different colors.

it was funny how well she had gotten along with jungkook in such a short time. she had gotten his number a little more than a week ago, and already she was hanging out with him.

but with taehyung, she had been friends with him for more than three months by texting and the closest they had gotten was sending a picture of themselves.

"so your boyfriend is min yoongi?" jungkook piped, after finding somewhere to sit. jennie nodded, thinking about the man for the first time in a while.

he was usually always on her mind.

"yes, does jungkookie have a girlfriend?"

"if i had one, do you think i would've invited you?"

"hey!" she whined, punching his shoulder lightly. "don't say that didn't hurt, i wasn't even trying."

"alright alright."

"but why did you invite me? im sure you have other female friends."

"i do, but i thought i should ask you. i don't know, it was a gut feeling."

"gut feeling? i seem to be getting a lot of those too."

"i wonder if taehyung's coming?" jungkook changed the topic, her ears perked.

"that would be great if he did. i want to meet him."

"how did you even meet him?"

"he left his number on my ice cream cup so i texted it."

"wow. that sounds like something he would do."

jennie let out a small laugh, leaning back into the chair as the lights dimmed and the movie began to play.

taehyung walked inside the auditorium of his school, lazy smile decked with joohyun on his arm. she laughed.

"i seriously can't believe jungkook got a date in such a short time!"

"i know! i was surprised too when he told me. i wonder who the poor girl is."

"i think you mean lucky. kookie is a good guy."

"not as good as me."

"fine. not as good as you." she teased, pecking his cheek. he smiled lightly, the original grin simmering down. they took a seat in the middle section, joohyun pulled out her phone.

taehyung was about to text jennie, when he decided against it. joohyun would probably get upset over seeing him text her.

he heard a girl say jungkook's name faintly, his eyes flitted over to the direction of the sound.

"does jungkookie have a girlfriend?"

"if i did, do you think i would've invited you?"

now he saw her face, and it surprised him.

her familiar round eyes, gummy-like smile spread across her lips. dusty rose lipstick, her loosely curled brown hair splayed on her shoulders. she was laughing with jungkook, taehyung could hear anything joohyun was saying to him at this point.

his eyes were on her. only her.

is that jennie? taehyung thought, eyes widening slightly. how did jungkook know jennie? he must be seeing things.

the longer he watched, the more she looked like her. she looked prettier in real life than taehyung expected. he never expected jungkook to choose her out of all people. how did he know her? the question kept repeating in his head.

taehyung, you're in love with joohyun. he reminded himself, eyes still not leaving jennie's figure.

something about her sitting with jungkook felt off to him. were they just friends? why hadn't jungkook told him that he knew jennie?

"...taehyung?"

"y-yes?"

"i was just wondering if you wanted some snacks. i'm getting popcorn."

"oh, uh n-no i'm good."

"okay, be right back." joohyun kissed his cheek before leaving.

again! taehyung's eyes went back to jennie. something was off about how close she sat with jungkook. just friends?

just friends?

maybe it was that she wasn't with her boyfriend that made it off.

yes. that had to be it.
