No really, how ya been? I see those Insta-snaps! You girls always lookin so fiyaaaah. Is Square Three coming? Or are we all in for a surprise? Oh– also, have you found DJ Khaled’s son yet? Lemme know if you have.. I wanna shout “ANOTHER ONE!” with him.. or at least whisper it while I patiently wait to meet Khaled himself.. ahahaha. Oops.
I’ve been alright! Aigoo… I’m trying to keep a low profile these days on updating photos because I wanna surprise everyone, heh. Most of the things I’ve had up are sort of old, from weeks and months ago. It’s coming soon, hopefully. We’re preparing for it, that’s for sure. But I don’t know when exactly we’ll be able to release it. What about you guys? How’s your third project coming? Debut soon, right? Uwaaaah~!! I’m so excited. How do you feel about it? I didn’t find his son ever… It slipped me already. I wouldn’t have remembered if you didn’t tell me. Omo… No whispering! Don’t be creepy like that, oppa.
You heard?! -she stares open-mouthed for a second, as if she was to gasp yet without the inhale itself present- I did see some articles about it and was told by friends as well. It’s funny, though, that people see me like that and so specific to a brand. I thought since it’s the norm for celebrities to wear it, the title would have been taken waaay before…? -the back of her hand hovers over her lips that parted to make way for a small chuckle- Are you sure, oppa? It’s when they say it isn’t is when it is. But! Since you’re the model for Vogue, I’ll make sure to purchase more of their stuff!
( / the younger’s comment on his latest photoshoot has him holding back his laughter, though he makes an attempt to maintain a serious expression, feigning almost a look of defense as he replies. ) Hey now… that’s fashion, Jennie. I provide great entertainment during camping trips, as you can see!
-her words exuded
playful sarcasm and from his reaction, it seemed to have come across just as she’s planned. she tries to keep a straight face as well, for the sake of rolling along
but the smile uncontrollably breaches through her facade-
I can definitely see it… no doubt!
Here I thought I knew fashion to the core… ah, how disappointing. You should teach me your ways, so I know how to survive out there. I mean, I have been wanting to see for myself how it’s like, even farther than camping trips. I need your advice…!
Oh? Maybe I’m speaking another language? Maybe this Jennie doesn’t speak Korean all of a sudden? I’m sure I meant Mama Jennie. Three bears? Four girls. In this case anyone trying to mess with your girls is Goldilocks. But nothing wrong with being Mama Bear Jennie. It suits ya ‘saeng, I’m surprised I can come to terms with it myself. Shows you’re all grown up, where’d you get this instinct from, I suppose it’s always been there. Cute’s not even the word for it. It’s endearing you know? My ‘saeng taking care of her own. Don’t worry about oppa, you’ve got enough to worry about yeah? I’m taking care though. (’he flashes a thumbs up just to reassure her of such, same hand reaching to pluck at her cheeks)
Ah he’s gonna have to fight a few other’s for the throne. I think he prefers claiming it as his own and letting everyone else think they run it? He’s lazy that way, kinda manipulative I’m not sure who or where he got that from? Maybe Dana. She likes me to think I’m the brother in charge then she flips the script. Jhonny might be getting it from her, unless you taught him a little something when he was staying with you hm? Hmmm? (’all he gives is a gentle nudge of her shoulder with his own and a raise of his brow, ridiculously so in fact that he almost laughs) This isn’t an accusation this is a concerned parent.
Aigoo, I have no idea what you could be referring to but if I did I would say me not talking about it is not lying, it’s shielding certain details out of embarrassment. And this lovely dongsaeng of mine would try not to reveal what should remain closed, sealed and stamped only to my mind. Or I’m going to have to find you in these sleeping positions and maybe spread a few pictures of the sleeping beauty around the building. Sound fun? Nope. However I do need proof that you are capable of deep sleep. Gotta make sure you’re getting rest and not mini naps, one of you got sick we don’t need everyone understand? (’let the record show he doesn’t believe her in the slightest and the suspicion is masked easily by the light tone, however her faltering catches quickly)
Let’s call it hamtaro land. I hope it’s treating you well. I hope it’s everything you need to to be and more. But spend some time in Jenderland too? Get the best of both worlds. (’he says it with a small smile, genuine above all) And while you’re there I’m most definitely fighting your umma.
You’re not getting my signature. (’he even looks down at the mimed paper with explicit distaste before smiling wide) Let’s go yeah? Sounds like we both need it, we’re signing waivers and shit.
No… I’m sorry. I’m from overseas. Could you translate everything for me? -lips purse as she waits for a response calling her out- Well, you’re no different. Anyone who messes with your members will feel your wrath, won’t they? I’ve grown up for years now and have been taking care of myself very well! Aigoo… you still struggle with that concept? Eh… no… I can’t help that. -face becomes painted with an expression of pain even though it didn’t hurt and she rubs her cheeks-
Right… I forgot you have a zoo in your dorms. Not just cats but dogs, too. That’s really smart of him, though. Let them think what they want! Not from you? Awh… maybe you are and you just don’t take credit for it! -eyes widen and her jaws drop slightly and slow- Me? No… no way! I’m nice… It must be from Danah unnie. Besides, I’m pretty sure Johnny spent more time with Lisa. I don’t think he likes me very much.
Mmmm, yes, omitting things. My forte. -she lets out a feigned and exaggerated cough- Alright, alright. I’ll let this off… I won’t pry. I don’t mean to anyway… I’m just checking to see if you’ll slip. I got my eyes on you. -index and middle fingers point at her eyes and hovers at his- No… it doesn’t sound fun. Is this a threat?! Yah, I’ll always find some sort of leverage against you, you know. I have my ways. And really, I don’t know what proof you need… I am capable! Won’t you trust my word for it? I know perfectly well what the difference between deep sleeps and cat naps are. Plus I work out, eat healthy as much as possible, and keep a positive attitude…! I won’t get sick. -a fist is raised with enthusiasm-
Hamtaro Land? -a smile instantly forms and she titters to herself- That’s so cute. Hamtaro is…! Treating me very, very, very well. Everything I need to be and much, much more. I do spend time on Jenderland still. Especially lately. I spend most of my time there. I guess, there needs to be a balance… I’m working on it! -she gasps in pure shock- No way! I won’t let you. That just makes me not want to visit any other lands than this. -a frown forms and her forehead wrinkles before she nudges him-
I’m not asking for your signature. Heol~ Reminds me though, you’ve never given me one. Ever! -she catches the profanity and immediately has her finger up to scold- Language! -nose scrunch up while her lips squeezes down to a pout then she shakes it off quick, walking on side by side with him as she picks out her phone to dial for a cab. as it arrives, she hops on quick and scoots close to the window where she peeks out while she speaks, urging him to direct the driver- Where to?
And suddenly mama Jennie has entered the building. I feel like I should livestream this so the girls can see it and know even when you’re not with them, you’re ready to lecture them. Aish, when did you start voicing such mature sentiments. We’ve gotta tone you back down to my cute little sister— not to say you aren’t cute right now! If taking a cat nap for more than 15 makes you groggy, no wonder Jhonny is always ready to murder me he naps for like 15 hours. hul. I have no idea what you could be referring to but I’m sure if I did do such a thing I wouldn’t advocate it.
I request imprint pictures or it never happened. I need to know you’re capable of deep sleep and get it every now and then. Jenderland? Is that the new dimension that you jump to? Without me? I’m offended if I wasn’t so glad you astral project from good sleep. I can’t argue when I’m this happy to see my ‘saeng this full of energy and open to hang with! I’ve got to save all my arguing bits for Hyuna anyway.
A claim?! Just a claim!? It’s a secret because I want you to get as much freedom and relaxation as possible. Don’t worry I’ve done this before it’s not a bad thing it’s perfectly fine! Pool then! Don’t poke my eye out with the stick though. Don’t whoop my butt too much either, it’s been a bit honestly.
-a gasp is let out, albeit a gentle one and it’s followed by a playful scoff before she ends up laughing nervously- What mama Jennie…? Who? What are we talking about here? You don’t have to do that, you know. -stray strands of her hair are pushed over her ear as her shaky voice lowers along with her gaze- Besides, it’s gotta be done if the situation calls for it. Yah, I’m just looking out for you… dongsaengs can do that, too! And still be cute in the process. -attempts to shake off the sudden embarrassment with the bat of her lashes and her eyes rounding up while palms come to cup at both cheeks-
I think… that’s just Johnny’s personality. He’s like that evil queen dictator but still a dashing diva. He’s adorable but you’re also scared of his power. You call him princess, don’t you? It’s time to step up and admit his reign. He holds the royal office of the WINNER dorms. -eyes narrowed at him, her stare lazed with impish suspicion- You have no idea? Really? At all? Hm. As far as I remember, my oppa doesn’t advocate lying either. -pokes at his shoulder slightly before having her arms crossed over her chest-
But… that’s such an unflattering sight. Why would I wanna show you? You’ll just have to catch me waking up… from a deep sleep that I’m totally capable of! Plus I get them every now and then so it shouldn’t be hard… -the words fade because she’s not exactly being truthful contrary to her previous preaching from a second ago- Well, it depends! There’s days I’m in Jenderland, there’s days I’m in… that other land that starts with a H, I might as well be dream hopping. We can meet there, maybe? In Jenderland, that is. I’m greedy over the H one. If you pray hard enough before you sleep, you might see me. -a slight pout takes form on her features- You make it sound like I reject you when you ask me to hang out! I don’t… right? Not often anyway. Also… don’t fight my umma!
I’m just saying you’re making a claim but… I mean, I approve it? Shh, it’s okay. And awwh. -palms meet in a soft clap as fingers clasp together- That’s thoughtful of you. It’s all good, then. I have done it, too. Plenty of times. I just wanted to make sure, is all! I don’t want you getting into any trouble, especially because of me! No eye poking will happen, I promise. At least, not intentionally. But you can trust me to be careful. Either way, it’s not my first time so you won’t catch me being clumsy. You’ll be okay. In case… you’re not… could you maybe sign this waiver? -a palm is offered out to him while the other hand pinches the air as if to mimic a pen being held then she laughs before both hands are retracted- Just kidding. No accidents, I swear.
( ; sure, jennie’s comical actions appeared funny in the eyes of sueji. but instead of letting out a hearty laugh as per usual, she looks at her friend fondly while withdrawing her hand, allowing it to slide back to her side freely. ) i think you’re being normal though. you’ve always been this adorable—what’s not ‘normal’ about that? and maybe… i should loosen up a little… ( ; just then, sueji mimics the gestures of jennie, yet ends up doing it in a less appealing manner with her arms flailing out awkwardly ) i—and perhaps, this is what normal is to me? KIDDING, kidding! aaaaah. i’m just trying to joke around. but okay. deal. no mentioning about jobs, schedules and the likes! can we be just our old selves at least for a day?
-a soft raspberry is blown to dismiss the praise but there’s the smile that she fails to wipe off her face- No… shh. See… it’s tricky. What’s normal isn’t normal. We’re breaking out of the normal things that we normally do to be normal! -eyes widened first then soon as it sinks in, she laughs over the wildly swung arms she wasn’t sure what the elder was doing for- You get it? If we’re talking about old selves without the schedules and stuff, I’d have to go way back before I was admitted as a fixed trainee and that’s when I was still in New Zealand. We haven’t met yet! So… do we introduce ourselves to each other then? -hands come up to her stomach with her fingers stretched out, her pinky specifically sticking out exaggeratedly as she bows- Hi! I’m Jennie Kim…! Your future wife and best friend.
i know, that’s why i couldn’t answer it myself. they’re very similar in that aspect…. NOT LIKE I WOULD KNOW– HAHA! RIGHT? ( ; nudges her arm while exhaling out a nervous laugh ) hypothetically speaking, YEAH! but anyways. moving on. ( ; claps her hands, creating a fairly loud noise in attempt to distract the other ) good. good that you know i’m your wife and that you appreciate my itty-bitty-titties.
how could i forget that though? that movie night… changed my life! didn’t it change yours too? but likewise, eeeh. what is the fun in being sexy. if you’re going to be optimus prime, might as well be the iron giant… or rayquaza, just because.
Not like you would know? It seems like you know. What does the younger one tell you, huh?!
-lips purse and a crease forms on her forehead, her features painted by feigned chagrin-
Does he talk about… business matters involving me? Hypothetically speaking… -her demeanor quickly shifts to a timid one, voice becoming softer and the latter words almost sounding off as whispers. the clapping noise makes her flinch in her spot and attentive to her following remarks- I’m a bit on the small scale, too, you know… so. Of course, I appreciate it!
Omo… you’re right. It literally was the start of a turning point for you. Aww, looking back on it always makes me feel warm and cute. I guess it did. Lots of hints just in one night… hints that turned out… well, nevermind! Wooow, so ambitious! Rayquaza? How are you gonna pull that off? You think I can dress up as a Pokémon, too?
( ; the elder cannot help but chuckle at how adorable the younger was acting whilst a finger reaches out to lightly poke her nose ) i won’t, i won’t! gosh, i wouldn’t even dare discuss anything science-y right now. i’m getting sick of big terms… i just want to be normal for once, i suppose. ( ; with the same hand, she lifts it higher to pet the other’s head and pokes out her tongue ) bleeeh, too bad i’m not stopping. besides, my job to be kind of involves keeping people’s body parts to its ordinary shape.
-she lets out a gentle gasp, scrunching up her nose before tittering almost inaudibly- Okay then, let’s stay away from the big terms and anything medical-related. Let us… venture… into my world instead! Meaning hardcore stuff. There’s no room to be normal!! -gritting her teeth, hand curls into a tight fist that’s raised in the air. she stares straight out front with determined eyes that simultaneously blink through the petting of her head that she let be- Just kidding. We can be normal, for once. I do crave that feeling sometimes, if you know what I mean. Ohp! That includes not mentioning your job! You’re already breaking the rules, unnie. What a rebel. -she clicks her tongue against the ceiling of her mouth-
jennieah, jennieaaaaaah!!!! huu, i'm in love with that look of yours... all peach and orange-y. it suits you, actually ㅋ. aaah, you're blooming more and more each day.
Unnie~!!! Am I… really? -cups cheeks- Don’t flatter me too much, my head will grow so much and then boom, explode. Not the parasomnia kind if you’re gonna go all logical and science-y on me. But, you know! The gory explosion, gushy brains and splatter. Like a watermelon blowing up? -covers mouth with both palms and makes exaggerated gagging sounds- Eugh, gross! You don’t want that to happen to me, don’t you, unnie?
