Silence (JinJi Fanfiction)

Chapter 1: Crush

"It's Blackpink Jisoo!"

"WHAT? That famous YG rookie girl group? They just debuted a year ago! Hyung, Jinjja?"

"No, she is just my-"

"How come I don't know, hyung. Why are you always so mean to me?"

"Ya, ya, ya! Stop!" Jinyoung yelled. "She is just my co-worker. You should have known by now that whatever comes out from Jackson's mouth should be questioned first."

"Ya, Jinyoung-ah! Rude!" Jackson pouted comically. Jinyoung sighed, worn out. He slumped back into the sofa beside Mark who was also worn out for laughing too much.

"But seriously, Jisoo-sii's visual is no joke. She is not called a goddess for no reason," Youngjae said.

That girl, Kim Jisoo. She was part of Blackpink, a monster rookie girl group produced by YG Entertainment. They debuted in 2016 and by 2017, they were already super famous. Typical YG, the group was a complete package: voice, visual, and vibe. In just a year, the group gained a big fandom and many senior idols acknowledged them. To top it all, the male idols went crazy for them. It was not a secret between fellow idols that Blackpink had gained many fanboys from different boy groups, including GOT7. Even Jaebum had once pointed out that Jennie, one of the girls, was so pretty, shocking Jinyoung as his bestfriend was not the type to pay attention to this kind of thing.

At first, Jinyoung didn't really care about who his co-MCs were going to be. He was relieved that in the midst of competition between idols, he was chosen as the MC for Inkigayo and that was what mattered. He and Jaebum once discussed about the future of GOT7 in private. Jaebum was under constant stress as there were even more boy groups emerged; fresher and younger hoobae. In order to survive, they really need to stand out more. That was why, when Jinyoung received the news about his position as Inkigayo MC from his manager, he was elated. He immediately shared the good news to Jaebum before he told the others. At least, GOT7 Jinyoung would always be visible to public for another year. To tell that GOT7 still existed.

But then, when he found out who the other two MCs were going to be, he became a bit nervous. One came from SM Entertainment. One came from YG. Meaning that he need to be better than them to show the talent of JYP artists. The negative thoughts started to flowing out; what if I'm not as attractive or charming as the SM guy? They are famous for giving off a royal, dreamy vibe. What about the YG girl? With her popularity now, I can't afford to make a mistake that will make her fans mad. What if-, and the thoughts continued.

He just hoped that fate would be good to him.

1 hour later Bambam went out from the shower. "I'm done, guys. Who's next?"

"Me!" Jinyoung stood up.

"No, me!" Yugyeom stood up as well and started bickering with Jinyoung.

"Bye, guys. I am taking a shower now," Jackson stood up to take his towel.

"What? I said it first! First come first served! And Yugyeom, maknae should let hyung go first."

"Ah, Jinyoung-hyung. I'm already so smelly. Here let me hug you so you can smell it."

"What? Andwae, stay away-"

"Kids!"

Suddenly Jaebum shouted so loud, probably the first time since the last time he raged. All the members quieted down nervously to see his next reaction.

"I'll shower first." And then he proceeded to run so fast to the bathroom, leaving the others shook.

"By the way," Bambam broke the silence.

"Who has a girlfriend?"

"Okay, Jisoo, deep breath. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. Okay, say it once again."

"Jendeukie, otoke, I am so nervous for tomorrow. What if everything becomes so awkward. You know me how weird I am, what if the staffs get annoyed of me? I mean, I still can focus, of course, but most of the time, I get distracted. Otoke," Jisoo paced back and forth, ruffling her hair.

"First of all, Jisoo, you'll do great. Second of all, the weirder you are, the better! What else is the reason you're chosen in the first place? Unnie, honestly, you're weirdly funny. But you're beautiful, beautiful people can be weird and still remain beautiful. No worries there."

"You're seriously not helping." Jennie only laughed.

"Seriously, Jisoo, I don't understand what you have to worry about! I mean, tomorrow is just the first meeting! The broadcast is not for another 3 days!"

"I know..., but still." Jisoo sat on Jennie's bed. She was tired although she didn't have any schedule for that day. Maybe being nervous could also drain your energy.

Jennie took his phone and began typing something. Jisoo was only looking at first, but then became curious and took a peek.

God, she was stalking her future colleagues: GOT7 Park Jinyoung and NCT Kim Doyoung.

"I feel like I have seen this Park Jinyoung guy somewhere," Jenni started. She kept scrolling through the pictures of Jinyoung in Google. After she got bored, Jennie opened all her SNS to see if there were any updates about this guy.

"Hm, I guess he doesn't really play SNS. Let's move on to Doyoung."

Jisoo was silent the whole time. By looking at those photos, she got even more nervous. Jinyoung-ssi seems like the serious type between the three of us. Doyoung is younger than me, and he looks more playful. What about me, then. What is my role...

"Doyoung looks cute. But I still prefer Jinyoung. Aren't you excited to work with a handsome guy like him?" Jennie turned her head to face Jisoo, finding her unnie's blank expression. Jennie sighed.

"Alright, it's time for bed. I need my beauty sleep." Jisoo started to panic.

"Andwae, don't leave me, yet. I'm sure I cannot sleep tonight,"

"No, go back to your room, Jisoo. There is no end if you keep thinking about it. Just let it flow. But I know you, I know you will do great. I don't even need to worry anymore. You're Kim Jisoo. The mood-maker of this group. Without you, Blackpink will be a boring group. No variety show will ever invite us. So, go to sleep. Whatever happens tomorrow, happens."

This is the first chapter! I don't really follow the Kpop universe, though, so maybe some stuffs are not really accurate (like the usage of Korean words and such, please tell me if I'm wrong). I only follow the ones that I like. When I first came across Jinyoung and Jisoo interaction, I realized that this ship is the realest! Trust me! I'm a bit disappointed that there aren't a lot of Jinji fanfiction so I decided to make one. Remind you, though, I'm not a native English speaker so I hope everything that I wrote makes sense somehow, haha.

By the way, Chapter 1 starts from February 1, 2017. And from there, the story takes place in a real chronological order. I did my research to make the story feels so real!

Lastly, hope you enjoy! Don't forget to leave any review!
