BEHIND THE SCENES

chapter 73: boys

"Jennie-ssi! Please, just one more question!"

"Jennie-ssi!"

"Have a safe trip, Jennie-ssi!"

"Jennie-ssi! Thank you for your time!"

And with that, Jimin finally managed to help Jennie onto the car and shut the door behind her successfully. Jimin hopped onto the car a while later, turning back to glance at Jennie with a smile.

"You've improved at answering questions, huh."

"Really?" Jennie said distractedly as she looked intently into her phone. "Thanks, oppa."

"What are you doing?" Jimin frowned as he turned back around and started the engine. "You've been on your phone all day."

"Nothing."

"You always say that," Jimin muttered under his breath with a small frown. "Anyway, we better go now before we're late."

"Mm."

In actual fact, Jennie was waiting all morning for Yoongi to answer her text message. She had passed by his apartment earlier that morning and noticed that his shoes were already gone - he had already left. Was he already with the crew? How was he doing? Was he fitting in well with the rest of them? Jennie was curious.

She stared down at her phone.

You
hey! you there with
the crew already?

- - -

Still no reply.

Jennie sighed as she leaned her head against the car window and closed her eyes.

"That's not how you take a selfie," Jungkook commented as he watched Jieun taking selfies with the bus they were taking to the site of the staycation. "Your angle is all off-"

"Ya-" Jieun pouted as she put down her phone for a while to glare at Jungkook. "Let me do whatever I want, okay? I'm not a celebrity, I don't need to take such nice selfies-"

"Okay, okay-" Jungkook put up his hands and looked away with a smirk on his face. "Sure, go ahead. Do whatever you want."

"JK-ssi! You're here early!"

Jungkook looked up as Kim PD approached with a bright smile. He got to his feet at once and shook his hand. "Good morning, Kim PD."

"You look good!"

"Ah-" Jungkook smiled. "Thanks, PD-nim."

"Where's Jennie-ssi?" Kim PD looked around. "You didn't come here with her?"

"Oh, yeah-" Jungkook shook his head. "We both came from home so-"

"Ah, I see..." Kim PD gave Jungkook a firm pat on the shoulder. "Thanks for being early, JK-ssi. Please wait a while more for the rest, alright? Please help yourself to the refreshments in the meantime."

"Sure. Thanks, PD-nim."

Jungkook took a seat once more as Kim PD left. He glanced at Jieun who was still busy taking photos and let out a small chuckle.

"Ya- Lee Jieun-" Jungkook motioned for Jieun to come over and join him in the shade. "Stop taking selfies and come here."

Jieun clucked her tongue loudly before joining Jungkook in the shade. "Where's Seokjin-oppa?"
