-------

All over the K-pop news sites, there had been a poll on who viewers wanted to guest star on Running Man, and surprisingly, Jennie was voted one of the top favorable picks. Viewers were impressed with her athleticism and passion and wanted her back on the show.

Once she was called and asked about being on the show again, she was thrilled and eager to come back. Besides, the Monday Couple wanted revenge on her, so that added to the anticipation.

When told that there would be other guests, competing against each other in pairs due to the episode being a couples themed episode, Jimin and Taehyung quickly suggested that Jungkook should join and be Jennie’s partner.

Naturally, Jen and Jungkook happily agreed, ready to take on the challenge.

‘BTS’ Jennie and Jungkook to guest on an Episode of Running Man’

Running Man announced today through its Instagram that BTS’ Golden Duo, Jennie and Jungkook are currently filming their guest appearance on the show to compete against the Running Man cast and other guest stars in teams.

The article went on to explain that Jessi, 4Minute’s Hyuna and Gayoon, Hayoon and Amber would be joining in the episode to pair with the cast members. Positive reactions were in the comment section for The Golden Duo to be working together again since they made an impact the last time BTS was on the show.

When all the couples were on the set, they were paired out with one another and wore team colors. Jaesuk and Jessi wore green, Haha and Gayoon wore orange, Gary and Song Jihyo wore blue, Sukjin and Hyuna wore purple, Jongkook and Amber wore yellow, Kwangsoo and Hayoon wore brown and JenKook wore red.

Each couple stood by one another, inside a cozy room. They were told that their first mission was to play the pepero game and whichever couple had the shortest stick, would win the round and be one step closer to winning Korean Beef at the end of filming.

“How many times have we eaten pocky sticks together?” Jen recalled while Jungkook let out a chuckle.

Yeah, they had this in the bag.

This would be the second time they were filmed eating pocky together, bringing back Rookie King vibes. It was going to be interesting how things played out at this time.

The Monday Couple were the first ones to go up.

“Golden Duo, watch closely because our stick will be the shortest,” Gary warned

“Wow, tough crowd.” Jen chuckled

The Monday Couple were impatient to get their revenge on them for the tag game the last time they were on the show.

“Don’t get too cocky. We’re dealing with the Golden Duo here. Don’t get them angry. These kids are dangerous.” Jaesuk exclaimed

Jen’s mouth upturned at his statement as everyone watched the Monday Couple munch on their stick at a fast pace. Their noses briefly touched, causing the rest of the couples to giggle. Their lips abruptly touched and the stick fell on the plate, looking around 1.5 cm.

“Golden Duo can’t beat that.” Gary taunted and high fived Song Jihyo.

Jennie and Jungkook glanced at each other and smirked with amusement. It’s best to let their actions do the talking instead of entertaining their comments. They weren’t bothered by the Monday Couple. They’ll still win for sure with a strategy.

Jongkook and Amber were called up next, grabbing a stick. They both were flustered and giggly, trying to take it seriously. Amber couldn’t help but stay still, squinting her eyes, chuckling to herself while Jongkook did all the work. He continued munching forward until the stick fell before he could go further. JenKook took sight of Haha and Gayoon munching on their stick, and they ended up letting their stick be a little bigger than the Monday Couple’s, who were confident in winning because no one had beaten them, yet.

Jungkook took a stick out of the box and met Jen’s gaze.

“Good ol’ Rookie King.” She mentioned, making them laugh at the memories.

After they pulled themselves together, she stood in front of him.

“Go slow and steady,” she advised, getting a nod in response from him.

Jungkook placed the end of the stick in his mouth, leaning down slightly for her to bite the other end of the stick.

“Start!”

They were told and slowly began munching, with their eyes on the stick. Both feeling keen to win and strategic to make sure their stick was the shortest, they ignored any distractions surrounding them which consisted of the Monday Couple playfully trash talking.

Jungkook ended up moving closer to Jennie, cupping her face as the stick got shorter and she slowly tilted her head to the side.

“You ship?” Amber glanced over to Hayoon, off camera.

“I ship,” she confirmed with a giggle.

“I ship too.”

Once their stick dropped on the plate, it was measured as everyone gathered around to see.

It was announced, “It looks like 0.5 cm.”

“No!” the Monday couple yelled.

“I ain’t even mad...” Jessi shook her head while Jen high fived Jungkook.

When it was Sukjin and Hyuna’s turn, they were a giggling mess and their stick accidentally broke in half, which made everyone laugh. Jessi and Jaesuk were finally up, going slow and steady. Jaesuk had accidentally dropped the stick, which made Jungkook place out a hand for Jen to slap for a low five, feeling good that they were still in the lead.

“Why is it so long? It should be shorter!” Jessi playfully scolded, causing Jaesuk to laugh nervously when she grabbed ahold of him.

“I-it was an accident!” he tried to explain

“Accident, huh?” she let go of him, narrowing her eyes.

Lastly was Kwangsoo and Hayoon. Jennie giggled at their banter when Hayoon kept covering her face, trying to get serious about the game. She was so adorable as her face became flushed. When they both had the stick in their mouths, everyone began freaking out when they started to munch. After their stick dropped due to Hayoon pulling back when he got closer, their stick was nowhere near close to JenKook’s stick.

“Winners! Jennie and Jungkook, Team Golden Duo!” the staff announced

Jungkook instantly fist pumped and high fived Jennie once again.

“This is unacceptable!” Gary complained.

“We’ll beat them on the next mission.” Song Jihyo reassured.

When they traveled to the next destination, Amber and Jennie had discussed a date when they would be free to hang out and catch up. Both being busy with their respective group comebacks, they managed to find some time to hang out next week. Jen couldn’t wait to hear what F(x) was working on.

For the second mission, each couple stood on a big platform surrounded by water, located in an indoor swimming pool. The mission was simple. All they had to do was push all members of the opposing teams off the platform and be the last team standing.

‘Round 1’

“I have a plan! Let’s all take out the Golden Duo!“ Gary called out.

Wow, again?

“Man, you thirsty! He’s so obsessed with us.” Jennie called him out.

“I agree, they can’t win again,” Kwangsoo added. “Let’s take them out.”

“Geez, what is this? Survivor?” Jennie pondered

“I think they’re just jealous,” Jungkook added.

When the game started, Gayoon had decided to make the first preemptive attack, going after Hyuna. She succeeded in shoving her off the platform as she watched Hyuna fall into the water, giggling. She was clearly unprepared and wiped the wet hair from her face. She’ll get her revenge on her group member in the next round.

Gayoon had tried to push Haha off and they began to try to overpower each other. The other teams had been watching their match and finally got into the game, going after each other. Jongkook effortlessly began shoving people off the platform with his muscular arms.

Cornering Hayoon, Jennie bumped her hip against hers, causing the GFriend member to lose her balance and fall into the pool.

“Hips for days. Sorry Hayoon, love you.” Jennie waved.

“I’ll remember that!” Hayoon called out.

Due to the slippery water and her shoes, Jennie yelped, about to fall. Jungkook was quick to scoop her up, bridal style in his arms and she held onto him. The sudden action made her stomach flip as she locked eyes with him.

“Careful,” he mentioned with a reassuring smile.

Carrying her, they decided to go after Kwangsoo when he was distracted by trying to push Jaesuk out. Using her feet, Jennie kicked Kwangsoo on his back to make him fall off the platform. The motion caused everyone to start laughing at Kwangsoo and JenKook’s unique teamwork.

“I wasn’t ready!” Kwangsoo yelled, with his guard down.

Getting set down, Jennie watched as the rest of the teams were all up on each other, grabbing and pulling, trying to shove each other off. Sadly, Jen ended up getting pushed off due to Song Jihyo tripping her.

Swimming back up to the surface, she watched the rest of the match, rooting for Jungkook. When it was down to him and Gary, Jungkook had easily shoved him off the platform to win the round.

“Yes!” Jennie got helped back up on the platform by Jungkook and happily celebrated their victory.

“This cannot happen again!” Gary complained.

For Round 2, Jennie went on a defensive route, surviving with Jungkook as she managed to protect him. She would constantly get in front of him, shoving anyone back who tried to go after him. Jongkook, the tiger, began to get ganged up on, as most of the teams strived to shove him and Amber off the platform. Once they failed to shove Jongkook and Amber off, they went straight after the Golden Duo.

“Oh gosh.” Jennie stood back to back with Jungkook.

After she took in the sight of what was going on, Jen made her move, grabbing a hold of Hyuna’s manicured hands. Miss Bangtan used her strength to shove her into the pool. Turning her awareness to Kwangsoo, he let out a yell, staring at her in horror.

“Nope! Nope! Nope!” he ran and jumped off the platform

Meanwhile, Jungkook had worked on pushing Sukjin and Jaesuk off the platform. JenKook regrouped and stood in front of Jongkook and Amber. Jennie and Amber go after each other, clasping their hands together, attempting to push each other off while giggling at each other. Amber slipped on the platform and Jen took advantage by rolling her to fall into the pool.

Turning to Jongkook, she noticed that Haha was trying to shove him off, ignoring Jungkook and she helped Jungkook up, bringing him to safety. The two managed to shove Haha and Jongkook off and happily high fiving each other.

“How many people have they taken out so far?” Amber laughed.

As the round progressed, Jungkook was shoved out by Song Jihyo. He was annoyed that he had lost but rooted for Jennie to win the game for their team.

Jessi had attempted to push her off the platform.

“Sorry, hon. You gotta go.” Jessi said but Jen stood her ground and managed to push her off instead with the help of using her feet to trip her.

Distracted from Jessi, Jennie felt a strong push on her back and fell into the pool thanks to Song Jihyo.

“Yes!” Gary happily shouted, applauding her.

"Darn it..." Jennie swam up and Jungkook pulled her into his arms.

"Take that Golden Duo!" Song Jihyo smiled victoriously.

"We told you we'd beat you!" Gary added as the audience laughed at how passionate the Monday Couple was about beating The Golden Duo.

"Don't worry about it. We'll get 'em. Good job," the Golden Maknae reassured Jennie with a smile and gently moved some of her wet hair from her face.

In the end, Song Jihyo won the round for her team.

For the final round, everyone ganged up to take out Jongkook first, creating a big group on top of him. Jennie avoided the chaos with Jungkook and decided to start pushing people off who were near the edge to increase their chances of winning.

Standing in the middle of the platform, Gary and Song Jihyo faced off with the Golden Duo, as they tried to push each other near the edge.

“Jennie! I will get my revenge!” Gary yelled, grabbing a hold of her. "We are going to win this! We are not going to lose! We are not going to lose!”

Miss Bangtan laughed, evading his attempts to shove her off the pool.

Song Jihyo shrieked when Jungkook easily picked her up over his shoulder and tossed her into the pool. With Jennie, she used her hips to bump Gary off the platform.

“Nothing personal.” Jennie shrugged, feeling victorious despite the Monday Couple’s complaints.

Kwangsoo had crawled away from them, on the platform but ended up getting rolled off by JenKook.

Near the end of the round, it was down to Jennie and Amber. They caught their breaths and stood in the middle of the platform. Going to strike, Amber had tried to trip Jennie, but Miss Bangtan evaded her move. It was a back and forth battle between the two, pushing and pulling each other, near the edge of the platform. In the end, Jennie caught an opening when Amber began to lose her balance on the edge. She then did one final push and watched as Amber fell into the water.

“Yeah!” Jennie cheered and jumped off the platform, landing into Jungkook’s arms.

He embraced her and spun her around as they celebrated their victory.

“Great job, Jennie! You did it!” He giggled, wiping some of her wet hair from her face.

"Woo! That is what I'm talking about!" she giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly.

“ARMY is going to be very happy to see them winning on behalf of BTS.” Jaesuk chuckled.

“They really want this Korean beef,” Jongkook added.

“Why do they always win?” Kwangsoo complained.

"This is not fair!" Gary complained as the audience laughed.

“I think we should just give them the beef. They already won.” Gayoon giggled.

-------

For the last mission, everyone was scattered around a mall, by themselves. Jennie stood near an emergency exit, with her Korean spelled name tag stuck to her shirt.

On the speaker, it was announced that they would need to find their significant other. Once they reunite with their partner, they must team up and find the correct key. After they find the key, they must find the room where the key opens, and find a platform to land on while avoiding getting their tag ripped. If one person gets their tag ripped, the entire couple is eliminated.

“Gosh...really?” Jen cringed at the camera. “That’s...a lot of work.”

Once she heard the buzzer, the game began and she let out a breath. “ARMY, time to find our Golden Maknae.” she gave the camera a thumbs up and started walking with a cameraman following her.

With Gary, he carefully walked around the mall on the second floor. “I must find Jennie or Jungkook. We need to take out the Golden Duo, so they can’t win. Hopefully, I can convince everyone else.”

He was so fixated on making sure the two teenagers lost this time. They won too many battles. It was time to lose for a change.

With Hayoon, she chose to hide in a changing room that was in one of the clothing stores.

“I’m going to hang in here for a little while,” she spoke on camera.

Back with Jennie, she walked slowly, looking at her surroundings.

“All right...so far so good...” she mumbled.

She recognized Gary walking by and immediately leaned against the wall, making sure he passed her, unnoticed. She let out a sigh of relief and quickly left the area to avoid being detected.

With Haha and Gayoon, who had found each other, they go to each store to find the correct key. They came across three sets of keys, but none were the right ones.

“Found you!” Gary called them out, causing Gayoon to yelp in surprise. “Wait! Wait! I don’t want to fight. Let’s work together.”

“Why should we trust you?” she pointed out.

“I want to get the Golden Duo out, so they won’t win. Don’t you want to get them out too? Let’s work together, find Song Jihyo and take down the maknaes.”

“Well, those maknaes are insane.” Haha started to become convinced.

“Okay, we’ll work with you.” Gayoon agreed and the three of them began walking together around the mall to find keys and search for Jennie or Jungkook.

It looked like JenKook was in trouble if Gary continued to convince other teams to join him to take them out.

With Amber, she walked around, seeking to find her partner. “I have a feeling someone is hiding around here,” she murmured, going inside the store that Hayoon was hiding in.

Hayoon had heard a noise and remained quiet while Amber walked around to see if anyone was hiding. In the end, Amber couldn’t find her and ended up finding a key, but it wasn’t the right one. The rapper continued her hunt for Jongkook by leaving the store and going up the escalator.

Hayoon, still hiding in the dressing room, placed a hand over her heart. “Thank goodness. I don’t want to get my tag ripped anytime soon. Ah...maybe I should go find Kwangsoo. But I’m so scared. What should I do?”

With the Golden Maknae, he kept a low profile as he went to find keys.

“Ah...I wish Jennie was here with me, right now. They are doing well to keep us apart. But I will find her. And we’ll win for sure.” he said to the camera, determined.

“Hey!” the sound of Jessi’s voice, caused him to look Jungshooked.

He immediately began backing up while she walked after him. He ended up giggling at her as she tried to grab onto him to rip his tag off. His strength overpowered her attempts and he escaped. Jessi tried to run after him, but he was too fast and she stopped running.

“I don’t know why I even tried.” she shrugged on camera, chuckling as the audience laughed.

Back to Jennie as she unsuccessfully discovered the right key in a shoe store, she came across the row of Nike sneakers.

“Daaaaaamnnnnn, how much are these?” she exclaimed in English and picked up one of the shoes to check them out. “Yo...I need to get this after the show.”

Distracted, she was unaware that Hyuna and Sukjin had spotted her. Hearing footsteps, Jennie quickly set the shoe down and ran out of the store, with them high on her tail.

“Jennie!” Hyuna laughed and grabbed a hold of her.

“This is so cheap. You gonna run up on me when I was looking at Nike shoes? Really?” she evaded her attempts to grab her tag, defending herself against them both.

“Let us oust you, Miss Bangtan. We need to win this.” Sukjin responded.

“Sorry, but I didn’t come here to lose. I appreciate your determination. Not enough to take me out. Jungkook and I are going to win this.” she managed to push them away and escape.

She ended up losing them, and she hid in another store to catch her breath, hiding behind the register.

That was too close.

“Ah...I hate this. I want Jungkook. The heck, is he?” she complained.

Turning her head, she found another small box and opened it to find a key. Examining it, she realized that it was not the right key and placed it back. She abruptly heard Hyuna and Sukjin yelling in panic and loudly running past the store she was hiding in. She realized that Jongkook had found them and started chasing after them.

“So glad I’m not them right now,” she murmured.

As the game progressed, Gary managed to find Song Jihyo with Haha and Gayoon, discussing strategy when they found Jen or Jungkook to eliminate them. Unfortunately for them, they had bumped into Jongkook who had been chasing after Hyuna and Sukjin. The two teams instantly run with Hyuna and Sukjin, yelling and screaming all over the place.

Hyuna got in an elevator but unluckily none of the others made it inside with her. When the door opened on the next floor, she saw the Golden Maknae quickly looking up from his feet, widening his eyes.

“Oh no!” she shrieked as he rushed in, grabbing a hold of her. “Wait, wait, please! The game just started!” she pleaded but unfortunately for her, he ripped her tag off to eliminate her and Sukjin from the game.

“Sorry, Noona.” Jungkook bowed and grinned.

‘Hyuna out. Hyuna out.’

Back to Hayoon, she still was hiding in her hiding spot. When she heard the announcement, she sighed out of relief when it wasn’t her partner. Out of nowhere, she shrieked when she suddenly saw the dressing room door swing open, locking eyes with her best friend, Jennie.

“Really?” Jennie laughed and took a seat next to her.

“Aw...it was nice when it lasted.” Hayoon pouted.

“Have you seen Jungkook?”

“I heard him in here a while ago. I have no idea where he went. Thankfully he didn’t find me.”

“Thanks. Okay. See you.” she stood up.

“W-wait, you’re sparing me?”

“Yeah.” Jen nodded. “I love you, that’s why.”

Hayoon smiled at her answer and felt a little flustered.

“Just try not to get caught," Miss Bangtan warned. "And if we meet again, I won’t hesitate to take the tag off.”

“Gosh...you and Jungkook are so scary when competitive. Reminds me of our dodgeball game at school.”

“That’s riiiiight.” she kissed her forehead. “Be safe out there.”

“You too!” Hayoon watched her leave.

Standing up, she decided it was time to move around and find Kwangsoo and some keys. No more getting scared. It was time to play the game.

As the game went on, Amber and Jongkook had found each other and were running after the rest of the teams that were plotting to find Jennie and Jungkook.

“Run faster! Run faster! They’re here! They’re coming!” Haha yelled.

“Ah...we are in deep trouble!” Jaesuk huffed

“This was not part of the plan! Work with us to take out the Golden Duo!” Gary pleaded.

Jungkook had found himself in the mix when Song Jihyo spotted him and started running after him. Now it was Gary, Song Jihyo, Haha, Gayoon, Jessi, and Jaesuk running after Jungkook while running away from Amber and Jongkook.

“Get Jungkook! One team has to sacrifice themselves so we can oust Jungkook!” Jaesuk shouted.

“Go! Go! Go! We’re losing him!” Gary yelled, determinedly.

Out of breath, Jungkook came to a stop and had to fend for himself desperately as he saw the three teams halt in front of him. The three teams were distracted because they wanted to focus on Jungkook but Jongkook and Amber were behind them and they weren’t sure what to do.

Out of nowhere, Jennie jumped into the fray, grabbing a hold of Jungkook from behind. He widened his eyes in surprise when he turned to see her, gesturing for him to run with her. Everyone noticed that Jennie and Jungkook were finally reunited and freaked out.

“No! This was not supposed to happen!” Gary whined as all the teams scattered to go after them and escape Jongkook and Amber.

“Ah! Separate them!” Haha shouted.

“They’re headed downstairs! Go down!” Jessi yelled.

Song Jihyo managed to grab a hold of Jungkook’s arm, which made Jennie get pulled back with him.

“Uh, uh, not today! Kook and I will live to see another day! Get off of him!” Jen made her lose her grip before running away with her Golden partner.

“Aish...these kids...they’re too fast,” Jaesuk called out.

“We are dealing with two pains in the asses here.” Jessi chuckled, shaking her head. “These kids need to go but they run so fast. So how are we going to beat them?”

Once Jennie and Jungkook found a safe area to hide, he wrapped his arms around her tightly for a hug.

“Are you all right?” she asked.

“I am just very happy to see you, right now.”

“Feeling is mutual. I really thought I wasn’t going to be able to make it. Catch your breath, I know you’re tired.”

They sat on the floor as he tilted his head back, making it rest on the wall. Jennie laid her head on his shoulder and rested with him while keeping her eyes and ears alert for anyone walking by.

Finally, they found each other and can work on winning.

After resting for a while, they walked around the mall to find the keys. As they strolled down the hallway, they heard a loud noise behind them. Jungkook was quick to grab her to safety by wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her against his chest. He looked both ways to see if anyone was there.

“That scared the crap outta me,” Jen said in English, exhaling sharply with a hand on her chest when they noticed that one of the camera crew had knocked over a plant by accident.

“What are we going to do? Everyone is after us. Should we go stealth?” Jungkook suggested as they continued their search for keys.

“No, I don’t think we should do stealth this time.”

“Really?”

“Yeah because they aren’t focused on getting the key, they’re focused on getting us out. They’re gonna do anything to eliminate us. They’ll try to corner us, distract us, this, that, and the third. We need to be quick and on full offense. No more messing around. We gotta win this. So, let’s find this key and if anybody runs up on us, we’ll rip the tags off. No more running away. I won’t let anyone rip your tag off. I promise.” she reassured him, placing a hand on his shoulder. “I got you, Jungkook.”

A bunny smile appeared on the Golden Maknae’s lips, motivated by her words. “I got you, first. Now let’s go.”

As time went on, the Golden Duo searched around, undetected, and managed to find the right key. All they had to do now was find the room to open the door and stand on the platform.

Walking to the door that leads to the stairwell, Jennie opened it and walked in with Jungkook, only to spot Jaesuk, Jessi, Kwangsoo and Hayoon, Gary and Song Jihyo trying to get each other’s tags after they all had turned against each other.

The sight of JenKook caused Kwangsoo and Hayoon to rush down the stairs in panic while the rest of the teams were caught off guard and ran down the steps to avoid them. JenKook had decided to dash after them, going after the Monday Couple first for revenge.

Running through a door, the Monday Couple had pushed to close it shut, only to have JenKook push forward to push it open.

“No! It won’t end like this!” Gary yelled.

“Don’t let them in!” Song Jihyo shouted.

Jennie, using her strength, gripped the doorknob and placed her foot on the wall, slowly pulling it back as the door gradually opened. Jungkook took advantage by grabbing Song Jihyo’s arm. He pulled her to him and used his other hand to search for the name tag on her back.

Riiiiiiiip

‘Song Jihyo out. Song Jihyo out.’

“Ah...I can’t believe this.” Song Jihyo slid down and sighed in defeat with Gary.

After bowing and thanking the Monday Couple, Jennie and Jungkook continued their search for the platform.

“Are you okay?” Gary helped Song Jihyo up.

“Wow...the Golden Duo is no joke,” she mentioned, bewildered.

“They have to be the strongest guests we ever had. Iron Man and Captain America strength. This won’t be the end. We will get them next time.”

Near the end of the game, Jennie and Jungkook finally found the door. Managing to open it with no problems, they quickly jumped onto the platform as confetti popped out from the ceiling, making them the winners of the game.

All the teams had met up in the room to recap on the episode and congratulated JenKook on their successful win despite the odds not being in their favor.

Receiving Korean Beef as their prize, Jungkook happily announced, “We’ll eat this proudly. Jin Hyung, prepare to make this for us when we get home!”

“Ahhhh, they came to our show and won everything. They cannot be beaten.” Haha shook his head as everyone laughed

Once Jennie and Jungkook went back to the dorms with Seijin, the members greeted them with loud cheers when they saw the Korean beef in their hands.

A victory dance commenced between the members and afterward, Jennie showered and helped Jin cook the beef.

After dinner, Jennie chose to turn in early due to the full meal and long day of filming. Wearing a white tank top with black shorts, she dozed off in her warm bed.

Buzz Buzz Buzz

Stirring in her sleep, Jen slowly woke up and grabbed her phone off the nightstand. Squinting her eyes at the high brightness of the screen, she turned her brightness down and checked out the message.

Kookie: You awake? I have a headache. Could you massage it away?

Jen: Sure. Drink water and then stop by

She sat up and stretched her limbs. Turning on the lamp, she turned to look at the time. It was past 1am. It looked like Jungkook was done gaming for the night with the rest of the Maknae Line.

Noticing that her bun was messy, she realized that her bonnet had fallen off while sleeping. Yawning, she took out her bun and shook her hair out, deciding to fix it after massaging Jungkook.

Hearing a firm series of knocks on her door, she called out with her voice filled with sleep, “Who?”

“Golden Maknae in need of Miss Bangtan’s famous massages.”

His bright voice made her smile. “How much are you paying?”

“I’m sure we can negotiate with smarties.” he quipped, making her giggle softly.

“You got me there. Enter my realm.”

She watched him walk in with a big smile as he closed the door. She noticed he was wearing one of his many white shirts and a pair of shorts that came to his knees. His hair was messy, too, it made him look even cuter.

She scooted over as she felt the bed dip when he got on the bed to lay down next to her.

“I told you don’t eat so much candy. But what do you do? Eat a lot of candy. Now, look at you. Suffering from a headache.” she scolded.

“The candy Hyung buys is really good. I can’t help it.”

“I can’t help it.” she mocked in a low voice, making him chuckle. “How much did you even eat after dinner?” she let him lay his head on her lap as she gently began to massage his temples.

“You don’t want to know.” he let out a content sigh, closing his eyes.

“No more eating a lot of sweets, especially before you go to sleep. Those sugar headaches are killer. And make sure you drink more water and take aspirin."

“Yes, ma’am.”

“You’re a handful.”

After a while, he ended up falling asleep, with his headache nearly gone. She gently removed his head from her lap and let him sleep next to her. Moments later, Jen decided to play on her phone, to pass the time until she felt herself getting tired.

After ten minutes, she glanced over at the Golden Maknae, watching him sleep as his chest rose and fell slowly. Placing her phone on the nightstand, she turned to her side, to continue observing him. Her hand slowly ran through his soft hair. Gently brushing her fingertips against his cheek, she absentmindedly ran her thumb over his bottom lip. Glancing at his lips, she quickly shook the thought away and removed her hand.

‘The heck was that Jen?’ she looked away from his lips but couldn’t help but look back at them.

Jungkook had grown up. His vocals get better and better throughout each comeback. He had gotten so much taller, it was like it was yesterday when they were almost the same height. His English skills improve day by day, making her proud of his efforts. And he had become so handsome over the years.

Her body began moving on its own as she found herself slowly leaning down. She stopped midway, looking at his gentle face. Closing her eyes with hesitation, she pulled back.

Jen laid on her back and looked up at the ceiling, inhaling and exhaling deeply. She didn’t understand what she was doing. What this strange feeling was.

Turning her head to the side, she looked at him, falteringly.

After a moment, she turned her body on her side and leaned forward to press her lips to his. She kissed him softly while closing her eyes. His lips were softer than she anticipated, taking her off guard. Nonetheless, she felt something strong from the kiss.

When she realized what she had done, she pulled away, confused by her abrupt actions.

‘What the hell, Jennie? Why did you do that? Stupid, stupid, stupid. I am such an idiot.’ she thought to herself, touching her lips.

She was so fixated on thinking of what she had done, that she didn’t even notice Jungkook slowly opening his eyes.

Consequently, he knew exactly what she had done and when she met his gaze, her stomach dropped.

Busted.

She stiffened, widening her eyes while her face felt flushed. All she wanted to do was crawl into a hole. She had no excuse for her actions and couldn’t even think of coherent thoughts without making a fool out of herself.

“...u-um-I’m...” she hesitated, averting her eyes from him. “I-I’m sorry, I don’t know what got into me. I think I’m gonna go get something from the kitchen.”

She began scrambling to get out of bed but felt his warm hand, firmly grabbing her wrist to stop her from getting off the mattress.

“Don’t leave,” he whispered.

Jen let out a sharp gasp when he gently pushed her down on the bed, feeling the soft, warm sheets under her. Her heart raced quickly as she watched him slowly climb on top of her, placing his palms on the bed, next to both sides of her head.

She couldn’t look at him in the eyes as she felt a mixture of crazy emotions while still feeling awkward by her previous actions.

“Look at me,” her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of his low voice.

She nervously held his gaze, unable to ignore his request. She didn’t understand where this sudden desire to kiss him was coming from and it bothered her.

It bothered her because she shouldn’t even be in this foreign position with him.

It bothered her because the way he was staring at her made it harder to resist him.

It bothered her because he looked so enticing and she anticipated what he was going to do to her.

Her chest rose up and down with the butterflies in her stomach getting worse. She watched him take a good look at the position they were in.

From his face, it seemed like he was contemplating if he should risk it all. It was like he was struggling to suppress the urge to do whatever his mind was thinking of doing to her. She regarded that he had licked his lips and placed his bottom lip in between his teeth as his eyes traveled down to her bare, thick legs. When he locked eyes with her, she felt her nervousness intensify.

He slowly leaned down, pressing his body against hers, gently kissing her softly. She froze, widening her eyes as she felt his lips move on hers while he tilted his head to continue kissing her slowly.

‘What the hell? What the hell are we doing? What the hell are we doing?’ she thought in panic.

His lips were tender and he pulled away briefly, leaving her breathless. Jungkook moved some hair from her face before leaning down to crash his lips against hers again.

Part of her wanted to push him off.

Tell him that this should not be happening.

But his kisses were too much to handle and she found herself kissing back, uncertain. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. Gradually, she became in sync with his lips, finding a rhythm, despite her lack of kiss experience.

With a hand in his soft hair, she ran her fingers through it. Shortly after she felt his large hands caressing her legs and she hitched a breath.

Jungkook’s hands were all over her. Places that a friend shouldn’t be touching but he was so gentle that she couldn’t help but melt into his touch. They slowly eased back from their lingering kiss to catch their breaths.

Jennie, unable to resist and giving in to this heated encounter, sat up with him to straddle him on his lap. The sudden gesture made him grunt softly as she gripped onto his shirt.

The way he looked at her looked like he was giving her permission to do whatever she wanted. Sensing her hesitation, he ended up guiding her hands to remove his shirt before tossing it to the side.

'Oh my God...' she thought as she ran her hands down his chest and then took his face in her hands. 'What's gotten into me?'

She resumed kissing him again as she felt warm and tingly. Each kiss felt better than the last one, making her feel good. Their kissing got heated as he slowly ran his hands down her back and squeezed her hips. He was starting to drive her crazy as he continued his frisky behavior when his hands slowly traveled down to squeeze her rear. The sudden gesture made her jump and let out a squeal of surprise before resuming their heated kissing.

Once they pulled back to breathe again, a thought in her mind made her place a hand on his chest, as the doubts came back.

‘We shouldn’t be doing this...I should not have kissed him. This isn’t right. But it feels right. But friends don’t do this. We need to stop. This can’t go any further. I need to get out of this.’ she thought, feeling conflicted with everything that was going on.

Jungkook noticed her pulling away and closed the gap by pulling her back against his body.

"Don't. It's okay," he murmured and swiftly laid her back on the bed, climbing on top of her to kiss her again.

Jungkook made her forget about the doubts as he deepened the kiss, causing her to softly moan. It made her feel embarrassed that an abrupt sound like that came out of her since she never made a sound like that before. She felt his strong hands grab her wrists, pinning them on the bed, beside her head. His hands gradually slid up to her hands slowly intertwining his fingers with hers. He kept a firm grip, making her unable to escape his passion.

Jungkook took his time, placing sweet kisses on her face. From her cheeks to her jawline, he made her feel wanted and cared for. He needed to stop kissing her like this. Every time he kissed her sweetly, he would glance at her lovingly before doing it again. His kisses were making her heart pound. She couldn’t take much more of this.

Turning her head to one side, she closed her eyes and let out shaky breaths when she felt him shift down to her neck. His nose nuzzled against her neck before placing, soft and gentle kisses around it, leaving her panting from the foreign feeling.

‘Oh God...why am I enjoying this?’ she thought as she threw her head back against the pillow.

She tightened her hands against his, writhing underneath him while trying to fight back any sounds. Of course, with Jungkook pinning her down to the bed, focused on her neck, she failed miserably, becoming undone. Jungkook appeared to be satisfied with his efforts and her reactions because he let out a low chuckle in response.

“Jungkook,” she whispered breathlessly as she felt his warm breath against her ear.

“Relax, baby girl...” he whispered, feeling her squirm from all the overwhelming and foreign feelings in her body.

This was torture, what he was doing to her, and she couldn’t do anything as he held her down.

"Do you trust me?" she heard him ask in her ear, making her shiver.

"Y-yes," she breathed out.

Suddenly he let her go and began kissing down her neck and started to move lower, making her feel flushed

"W-wait...where are you going?" she stuttered with her breathing increasing as she placed her hands in his hair when he continued to travel down to her stomach.

Never would she think that Jungkook would ever do this, especially to her.

----

Jennie ended up falling off her bed with a big thump. She quickly got back to her feet. Snapping her head from side to side, looking around, she noticed that no one was in her room but her.

“What the hell...?” she placed a hand on her hair, which was still in a bun, and checked her phone to see no messages from Jungkook that indicated that he needed a massage tonight.

She then realized that she was just dreaming.

“Oh no. Oh my gosh, please. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.” she started pacing around, in panic. “No. No. No.” she shook her head repeatedly, trying to get the thoughts out of her mind.

It startled her that she just dreamed about her friend this way.

“That meant nothing. That had to mean nothing.” she tried to convince herself. “No way. No way this would happen. Why did I dream of that? Why? Am I drunk? Did I eat one too many Smarties? Get it together!”

She slapped her cheeks with her palms. Going into her small bathroom, she splashed her face with cold water and sat on top of the toilet seat, to collect her thoughts.

That imagination...came out of nowhere.

Jungkook would never think of this, would he?

He would never think of her like this, right?

So why did she think of him like that?

He probably never dreamed of her like that, either, so why did she?

He would never think about making out with her, would he?

She was so confused.

Friends don’t just make out with each other like they did in that dream and she shouldn’t be having these types of thoughts of him.

“This is wrong. We can’t...we’re friends.” she reminded herself. “Best friends. In a group. We are in a group, working together. Professionally. This...can’t happen. It meant nothing. It meant nothing, Jennie.” she tried to convince herself as she worked on pretending that the dream didn’t happen.

Boy, it was going to be hard to act normal around Jungkook in the morning.

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 37- Running Man

Chapter Summary: BTS guest star on Running Man, playing the Tag Game. Running Man cast quickly finds out that JenKook are dangerous when they work together, and try to separate them.

Words: 4,000+

Author's Note: Jungkook fluff! JenKook! I love Running Man and plan to have Jennie be on more episodes, so I'll be making random chapters of her on Running Man. I hope you enjoy it. Inspired by Episodes 171 and 172 Tag Game with EXO! There will be a JenKook Running Man Episode in 2015 of the story!

-------

Located at a local mall, rented out for the Running Man crew, the camera pans toward a stage in the middle of the mall.

‘There’s a stage...?’

Suddenly, BTS emerged from the stage, appearing as the audience cheered loudly, while they performed Danger.

‘They are finally here. Welcome idol group, BTS!’

“Okay, now your last mission will start. BTS versus Running Man. You’ll take turns playing hide and seek. Since your question is wrong, Running Man will hide first.” The announcement was heard as each Running Man cast member scrambled around the mall for a hiding spot. “BTS will start looking for you now. Rotating hide and seek starts now!”

With her curly hair styled in a bun on top of her head, with curls layered around her face, and her name tag stuck against her green varsity jacket, Jen strolled around on the first floor of the mall with the rest of the members.

“I think we should split up.” Rap Monster recommended.

He pondered about getting as many Running Man cast members as possible by splitting up into teams, instead of staying together.

“Yeah, I think that would be wise.” Jin agreed.

“With this method, we should so we can oust as many as we can,” Jennie responded.

Adrenaline filled her veins. It was her first time on Running Man, along with the rest of the members. Who knew they would get a great opportunity to be on the show instead of sitting at the dorm, watching it? And it was a tag game, too!

“Split up into teams of two?” Jungkook suggested since BTS had an even number.

“I call Jennie!” A sudden shout was heard behind her.

Before she could comprehend what was going on, Jimin wrapped his strong arms around her waist, holding onto her like a Koala Bear, with a big smile on his face.

“No way!” Jungkook blurted out. He stared at Jimin in annoyance, calling him out, “I called her first! Before we even got here!”

“There’s no proof! So, she’s my partner. You always hog her. We never spend any time together these days.”

“Oh dear...” Jen let out a sigh.

“Actually,” Rap Monster spoke up, removing Jimin from Jennie, “I called her first because I asked her last night and she said sure.”

Jungkook and Jimin, J-Hope and V, Jin and Suga were together in teams and scattered around the mall. J-Hope, V, Jungkook and Jimin go on the second floor, while Jin, Suga, Rap Monster and Jennie stay on the first.

“RUNNING MAN!” Jen heard the guys yell while she walked with Rapmon.

“We need to find the strongest players first. Like Jongkook. If he’s not out before this round is over, we’re going to be in deep trouble.” Rapmon murmured.

“I hear you. Lord knows I don’t want to encounter that man.” She shook her head. Jongkook was someone she never wanted to encounter. He was a beast on Running Man and showed no mercy. She would rather be on his team than against him. “Let’s check out that store, over there.”

Walking into a random clothing store, the two of them search around. From opening changing room doors to looking around the racks of clothes, they couldn’t seem to find anyone. Meanwhile, Haha and Ji-hyo were in the storage room, nervously watching them on camera, hiding out.

“Find anything?” Jen asked after shutting the last dressing room door.

Rapmon sighed in disappointment. “Nah. Let’s move to another store.”

“Ooh look at these hats!” She looked at the shelves with snap-backs in amazement. She might have to buy one of them after filming is over.

“Not the time Jennie.” Rap Monster dragged her away from the hats as the audience laughed.

“I’ll be back for you!” She pointed to the snap-backs as they exited the store.

“HEY! I found one of them! Guys! Come quick! Second floor! YAH!” They instantly hear Jin shout as all members of BTS rush to the second floor, in front of the store where Jin is yelling.

Suk Jin was found in one of the storage rooms among various brown boxes.

“Hello, Suk Jin! I’m V!” He happily introduced himself as he grabbed a hold of him with a big grin.

“Hello, V. Now can you let me escape?” Suk Jin desperately tried to pull back.

“No can do!”

Jin, V, Jimin and Suga were all over Suk Jin, grabbing onto him and striving for his name tag.

“Snatch it off! Get it!” Jin shouted. “We’re almost there!”

“What does it look like we’re doing!?” Suga retorted.

“Jin is just a little bit too excited to play this game.” Jimin giggled while Suk Jin started laughing while trying to evade getting his name tag ripped.

‘Big nosed brother is in danger!’

All they could hear was a loud rip as Jimin happily raised the name tag up in the air.

‘JI SUK-JIN OUT. JI SUK-JIN OUT’

“Hello, it’s nice to meet you. My name is Jimin.” He grinned and bowed.

“Jimin. I’ll remember that name.” Suk-Jin called him out as they all shared a laugh.

Meanwhile, outside the store, Jen walked to the railing to see Haha running around on the first floor. As the camera catches her spotting him running around, the audience wooos.

“Found another!” She shouted as she dashed down the stairs with Namjoon.

Hearing her shout, Haha turned around, startled, and stared in surprise when he saw two members of BTS running to him.

“Oh, come on!” He exclaimed and began to run away. He panicked as Jennie got closer and closer to him. As he stopped running when Rap Monster attempted to grab a hold of him, Haha managed to keep him at arm’s length, laughing nervously. “The game just started!”

“Sorry, Haha.” Rapmon laughed as he attempted to grab him again. Evading his arms once again, Haha managed to run up to the second floor. “Jennie, corner him!”

“On it!” She shouted in response, running up the steps by skipping one step at a time, beating Haha on the second floor.

As Haha glanced up to see her in front of him, he let out a yell in shock. He swiftly turned around to run back down the steps, but Rap Monster was at the end of the steps. The audience whoos once again as they watch that Haha had nowhere the go and Jen grabbed a hold of him from behind, maintaining a strong grip.

The caption, ‘Haha Has Been Caught!’ was shown on the screen.

“I’m sorry, Haha!” Jen ripped the name tag off his back in a quick motion.

‘HAHA OUT. HAHA OUT.’

“Atta Girl!” Rap Monster praised with a smirk, as he walked up the steps, regrouping with her.

Jen bowed to Haha, as he recovered. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Haha. I’m Miss Bangtan, Jennie.” She happily introduced herself.

“Ah, you’re too fast. I dunno what just happened.” He said in bewilderment as she let out a laugh with the crowd. “It’s nice to meet you, too, Jennie. Thanks for getting me out so early in the game. Was looking forward to lasting a while.”

“Next time!” She guaranteed

‘One minute before rotating’

Jen and Rapmon hear the announcement and run around to hide. She decided to split up from Rapmon and head into a shoe store, running into J-Hope and Jungkook in the process. They decided to go into the room in the back, which was a storage room, stocked with other shoes, hiding around the equipment.

“5!”

“4!”

“3!”

“2!”

“1”

As the loud buzzer was heard, the Running Man crew began their search to hunt down BTS.

‘8 members of BTS VS 5 members of Running Man’

Hobi was next to Jennie, shaking violently, as he held onto her for dear life. Jungkook glanced at J-Hope, who was whimpering and let out a snicker. This was very funny to him.

“Hobi, you’re gonna get us caught! Relax!” Jen tried to stop him from shaking.

“I can’t! This is too scary! We’re gonna get caught! EEK!”

“SHH!” She put a hand over his mouth and turned to Jungkook. “Kook, please help me.” She pleaded desperately.

They could not afford to get caught this early. She wanted everyone on her team to last long for their first time on Running Man.

“Hyung, it’s going to be OK. It’s not like someone’s gonna jump out and get you. Heheh, I wonder if they’re in this room right now, just waiting for the right moment to get you.” Jungkook teased, smirking evilly.

“EEEK! We’re gonna die!” J-Hope whined as the crowd laughed.

Jen rolled her eyes and rubbed J-Hope’s back, trying to soothe him as she shot Jungkook an annoyed expression.

Seriously, Jungkook? Really? Of all times to act the evil Maknae?

“WOW, Kookie. NOT helping! You just petrified him!” She whispered in annoyance, as she received a victorious smirk in response from the Golden Maknae.

But the mood turned serious when they heard someone in the store.

“Children! Come out, children! Where are you!?” Jae-suk, better known as Grasshopper, shouted.

Jen exhaled shakily, covering J-Hope’s mouth so he wouldn’t scream. She shook her head urgently, trying to get him to calm down and not yelp in fear. Abruptly, they hear the door open as the three of them remain quiet.

“I have a feeling someone’s here...” They heard Grasshopper murmur as a cameraman followed him.

“AH! I found Jungkook!” He shouted, grabbing onto his arm as the crowd whoos. “Jungkook, it’s nice to meet you.”

Jungkook let out a laugh as he tried to push him away. “It’s nice to meet you, too.”

“YAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” J-Hope screamed over the top of his lungs and ran out of the room.

Grasshopper turned around in shock. “There’s another one!?”

The crowd laughed at his statement, while he began to run after J-Hope instead.

“J-Hope!” Jen shouted, running out of the store with Jungkook. “Run Hobi run! Run and don’t look back!”

“The kids are over there! Trap them!” Gary yelled as he ran towards them with Kwang-soo.

“Crap! Oh God, we lost our cover.” Jen looked on with worry, wondering what to do.

“Come on.” Jungkook grabbed her hand and dashed away from them.

J-Hope ran so fast from the adrenaline rush, that he escaped the Running Man crew and they decided to run after the Maknaes instead.

“Smartie and Jungkook are in trouble!” Suga pointed out to Rap Monster, hastily.

Rapmon simply shook his head, responding in a calm tone, “No, they’re not. They’ll be just fine. Trust me.”

Back to JenKook, when Kwang-soo stumbled in front of them, Jen stopped running, making Jungkook stop as well.

“Ah-ah! Nope! Hands off him!” She pushed Kwang-soo’s hands away from Jungkook’s tag.

Jungkook yelled in surprise when Gary grabbed a hold of him from behind.

“I got him!” Gary shouted.

“Oh, HELL no! Not on my watch you don’t!” Jen shouted back, forcefully grabbing Jungkook to him, and snatching his hands away from Jungkook’s name tag.

She felt a certain urgency to protect Jungkook. They had to stick together and they made an amazing team.

Out of nowhere, she managed to keep Gary at arm’s length and tripped him down to the floor, catching him off guard. But, she felt herself getting grabbed from behind by Kwang-soo. Wiggling herself away from his grasp, she crawled under his feet and ran away with Jungkook.

“How did they-” Kwang-soo stared dumbfounded, while Gary sat on the floor, catching his breath.

“I think we have a problem...” Gary huffed, still bewildered.

After outrunning the Running Man crew, Jungkook and Jennie snuck into a mattress store as a cameraman followed them.

“Now THAT was close...” She exhaled sharply.

That encounter was intense. She thought she was done for.

Name- Jennie

Weakness- Smarties

Attack- Normal

Defense- SEVERE

“Very. Glad, we outran them.” Jungkook opened one of the storage rooms, gesturing her to go in first.

Name- Jungkook

Weakness- Girls

Attack- SEVERE

Defense- Normal

Back with Gary and Kwang-soo, they meet up with Jongkook, Jae-suk and Ji-Hyo.

“These kids are gonna be the death of me,” Kwang-soo complained as the audience laughed at him.

“We desperately need to find them and get them out, like ASAP,” Gary exclaimed.

“Agreed.” Jae-suk nodded.

“What’s the problem? They shouldn’t be too bad.” Ji-Hyo spoke.

“Have you seen these kids, yet?” Gary asked her. “They run so fast!”

“I can handle a couple of kids. We can get them.” Jongkook replied confidently.

“Don’t underestimate them.” Kwang-soo shakes his head.

“Jungkook specializes in attack. Jennie specializes in Defense. We need to be careful around these two because if they catch us together, we’re done for. We need to separate them so they can’t get us.” Jae-suk recommended

“How are we going to separate them?” Jongkook crossed his arms.

“Half of us will go after Jennie, and the others will go after Jungkook.”

“Get those two out and we should have an easier advantage.” Gary nodded.

“Don’t you think we should go after the other members since they don’t seem much of a threat?” Ji-Hyo asked.

“It’s best to go after the strongest players first,” Gary responded.

“I think we should leave the strongest players until the end and just oust the others,” Jongkook suggested.

“Look, these kids made me trip over my own two feet. I want them out ASAP! They are too much!” Gary exclaimed as the crowd laughed.

-----

Meanwhile, Jen and Jungkook hide on the floor, with boxes scattered around them and blankets. They sit on the floor with the cameraman.

“You okay?”

Jen looked up to see Jungkook watching her with worry. She smiled in response. “We’re both alive and well, so I’m good.”

‘JIN OUT. JIN OUT.’

“Aw man, not Jin.” She murmured with disappointment.

“Darn it.” Jungkook huffed in annoyance.

“I hope the others are okay. Especially Hobi.”

“I think I scared him enough that he’ll just run away from anyone who approaches him. Teammate or not.”

Suddenly, they heard a loud bang as the door opened. Jen gasped sharply and flinched at the sound.

“Get down!” Jungkook said in a sharp whisper, gently but quickly pushing her on her back, landing on top of her. He put a blanket over them, while the cameraman managed to hide next to them, under another set of blankets.

The cameraman was unable to get any more footage because it was a little dark under the covers and Jungkook didn’t want to be noticed if the camera light was on.

With their faces inches from each other, Jennie and Jungkook maintain eye contact. “Don’t move.” He murmured as she curtly nodded in response. But when she heard more footsteps, her stomach dropped.

Placing her hand over the back of his head, she pushed him down, so there wouldn’t be a noticeable shape under the covers if the person checked where they were. Now his face was next to the side of her neck as he got a whiff of her perfume. Her sudden action surprised him but he wasn’t complaining.

Chest to chest, she felt his body heat radiate on her as she noticed the compromising but effective position they were in. Their hearts were racing from the rush of getting caught and the sudden closeness. She felt his warm breath on her neck, tickling her slightly as they remained quiet.

As they heard pairs of footsteps, they both noticed that despite where they were, it seemed like whoever was searching for them was having a hard time. But then they heard shuffling near them as Jen tensed up, closing her eyes.

‘Please don’t notice us, please don’t notice us.’ She thought in her head.

Jungkook managed to not let out a groan of pain when a box fell right on his back. Widening her eyes, Jen immediately was concerned for his wellbeing.

“Kook?” She whispered, uneasily.

How bad was the pain?

Letting out a soft curse from the discomfort, he murmured an almost inaudible, “Don’t worry. Relax, Jennie.” in her ear.

All that mattered to him was that she wasn’t hurt. He would gladly take another hit from the heavy boxes if it meant that she wouldn’t be harmed.

Jungkook had no time to feel shy or embarrassed at the position that they were in. All that was on his mind was keeping Jen safe, and winning this game, as his competitive streak came over him.

Before they knew it, the people who were trying to search for them left as Jungkook pushed himself up, looking at her in the eyes.

“You all right?” He asked.

“Unharmed. But are YOU all right? That hit sounded painful.”

“Ah, I can handle a box or two.” He grinned as they stared at each other.

She began to question why her face started to feel warm as she kept her eyes on him.

“K-Kookie?”

“Yeah?”

“I think they left.”

It took a moment for him to process her words as he looked at their position. His face started to heat up as he quickly got off her, pushing the blankets off their bodies and so did the cameraman.

Looking away shyly, Jungkook began to ramble, “Sorry. I didn’t mean to-I mean I-I was only trying to protect you-I hope you weren’t creeped out or anything or-“

Letting out a soft laugh, she shook her head. “Why are you apologizing? You just saved both of us. I want to last a long time in the game. Smart strategy. Thanks, Kookie.”

“Of course.”

“Oh and by the way, your breath smells nice. Smells like my gum. Thanks for stealing my gum without asking me.” She shook her head in disapproval.

“You would’ve given it to me, anyway.” He grinned sheepishly.

She rolled her eyes. “We should move. Only a matter of time before they come back. I think they’re gonna try to separate us.”

“Yeah. I know. Got a plan?”

“Oh yeah. This should go great. Here’s the rundown.”

After going over the plan, Jen and Jungkook left the mattress store and walked around until they saw Ji-Hyo.

“I see them!” She shouted, running right after them. Before she knew it, both she and the cameraman ended up losing them.

Jae-suk ran up to them. “Where’d they go?” He looked around.

“I lost them.” The cameraman apologized as the crowd laughed. “I tried to keep up.”

“You lost the Maknaes!?” Jae-suk exclaimed.

-----

“In here.” Jungkook huffed and took her to a secluded storage room next to one of the stores.

They lay low until they heard the door open. Backing her up against the wall, putting a finger to his lips, Jungkook protectively stood in front of her, while Jen breathed in and out, slowly through her nose, with her eyes closed.

So, this is the intensity of almost getting caught.

Outside the room, Gary shut the door, turning to the camera that was following him.

“Ah, this place would be too obvious. They wouldn’t be in here.” He left as the crowd laughed

Sighing out of relief, Jungkook looked down at her.

“Hey.” He whispered gently. He continued once she opened her eyes to give him her full attention. “You all right?”

“Yeah. Trying to calm my nerves. I’m getting nervous.”

“Don’t be, because I’m right here with you.”

Before she could respond, she shouted, “Look out!” as Gary grabbed a hold of Jungkook from behind, aiming for his name tag. Out of instinct, Jungkook swiftly turned around and tried to evade his hands.

“Run Jennie!” Jungkook shouted.

With butterflies in her stomach, she stuttered, “R-run!? What!? I can’t just leave you!”

“I’ll be fine! Go before the rest of them try to come!”

“Kook, don’t do this-”

“Jennie, trust me. I’ll come back for you. Just go!”

Reluctantly turning to the door, she exhaled. “You better not be out!” She ran out of the room, praying that he would be all right as she saw Ji-Hyo running in the room. Running up the second floor, Jen bumped into Jimin and Tae who were escaping from Jongkook.

“Guys! Boy, am I glad to see you!” She exhaled and hugged them.

“Ennie! Good to see you’re still alive! Jongkook managed to ambush some of us, and now Suga and Hobi are stuck with him. We need to get out of here. Like, NOW.” V demanded seriously.

‘SUGA OUT. SUGA OUT.’

“There goes our Suga.” Jimin sighed

“I’m honestly not surprised. He’ll take a nap and be fine.” Jen shrugged, earning laughs from the audience. “I’m just worried about Jungkook...”

“And not us!?” Jimin shouted as the audience laughed again.

“He’ll be fine,” Tae reassured, as the three of them sneaked around to find another store to hide in.

Out of nowhere, they hear J-Hope screeching nearby, as the three of them turn around in shock. There they see Jongkook effortlessly and roughly grabbing a hold of him, snatching the name tag off his back like it was nothing.

“Save yourselves!” J-Hope shouted as he was on the floor in defeat, still scared of Jongkook.

‘J-HOPE OUT. J-HOPE OUT.’

Jennie gulped. It was THE commander. Now what was she going to do? Jongkook was extremely intimidating. From the big muscles, and how effortlessly he eliminated J-Hope, she was in trouble. As soon as Jongkook began to run after them, the three members of the Maknae line desperately ran for their lives.

“AHHHHHH! RUN! RUN!” Taehyung screamed

‘Jongkook is on the attack!’

“Run! Run! Run! Don’t look back! Just run!” Jennie yelled.

“My legs are cramping!” Jimin shouted.

Suddenly Jimin and Jennie heard V yell out in shock and a loud ripping sound was heard.

“Tae!” She looked back.

“Keep running Jennie!” Jimin shouted.

‘V OUT. V OUT.’

Splitting up, Jen headed back to the first floor and ran into the food court. Out of breath, with a cameraman following her, she sat down on a chair.

“This is not good....” She murmured.

She was exhausted. All the running clearly made her tired. All that was on her mind was, where was Jungkook? How were the others doing? And when was it finally time to rotate? Standing up, she turns around to see Jongkook standing there across the room as the crowd whoos.

‘Just my luck...’ She thought to herself as she tried to figure out how she would be able to survive this.

This was not fair.

What did she do to deserve this punishment?

Was it because she ate one too many smarties?

Nervously meeting his intense gaze, she gulped. “Hello, Jongkook.” She bowed, trying to not sound intimidated.

Smiling, he bowed. “Hello, Miss Bangtan.”

“Goodbye, Jongkook!” She ran around the tables as he followed her every move. She whined when he seemed to go wherever she went.

‘This is not working! What am I going to do!?’ She pondered nervously.

“We can make this quick and easy. I don’t want this to be painful for ya.” He teased.

“Go away!” She whined as the audience laughed. “Come on! This isn’t how I wanted to go out! Wait! Wait! Can I get a 10 second head start? Please? Just give me that!”

“Fine. One.” He began to countdown as she started running. “10!” He shouted as he sprinted after her,

“Wait that wasn’t the countdown!” She shouted but screamed when she was grabbed by Jae-suk when she bumped into him. “No! No! Please!”

“Your time is up, Miss Bangtan. You’re not as bulletproof as you think!” He said while Jongkook started walking up to her.

‘Jennie is in trouble!!!’

“Not today! I will live to see another round!” She shouted as she managed to turn around in Jae-suk’s arms, catching him off guard. She swiftly tripped him down onto the floor with her leg. The audience whoos as she ran away while Jongkook watched on in surprise.

Helping Jae-suk up, the two of them looked on. “She just-she just slipped between my hands,” Jae-suk said, bewildered as the crowd laughed at him.

'One Minute Until Rotation’

“By the grace of God, I’m still alive. Oh, my gosh, I can’t believe I just escaped Grasshopper and The Commander. I’ve been blessed, today. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for my quick footwork. I will celebrate by eating a pack of smarties when I’m back in the dorm. Phew, that was a rush.” She said to herself.

Thinking she was out of harm’s way, Jen made her way onto the second floor of the mall, cautiously walking around. It was only her, Jungkook, Rap Monster and Jimin left. And they would rotate in under a minute.

They could still win this. They had to win this.

‘5!’

‘4!’

‘3!’

‘2!’

‘1!’

‘Four Members of BTS VS Five Members of Running Man’

‘BTS Hunts now!’

Before she thought of who to go after, her thoughts were interrupted by a shriek escaping her lips when someone grabbed her from behind, dragging her into an emergency exit stairwell.

“Not again! Get off me!” She closed her eyes, trying to strike whoever had a hold of her.

The person grabbed her wrists with both of their hands, as she continued to struggle to fight.

“Babygirl, relax. It’s just me.”

Ceasing her struggling as she got released, Jen opened her eyes to see Jungkook staring down at her with a smile.

“Hey.” He greeted, smoothly. “It’s been a while. Long time no see.”

“Kook! You're okay!” She sighed out of relief, wrapping her arms around his neck, and pulling him in for a tight hug.

“Heh heh, course I am. I am the Golden Maknae after all.”

“Oookaay, never mind.” She released him, playfully shoving him away. “I’m happy you’re still safe. It was terrible out there. Ugh, why’d you make me leave you?!” She punched him in the chest.

He remained unfazed, taking in her hits with an amused smile.

“That was not cool. We could’ve stayed together. I was worried sick about you!” She exclaimed.

“I told you to trust me.” he reminded her with a chuckle.

“Well, whatever plan you had, you could’ve just let me know from the get-go. What were you trying to do?”

“Impress you?”

Scoffing, she rolled her eyes, amused at his statement as she punched him on the chest, again. “You big bunny!”

“I’m sorry. I told you that I would protect you. Sorry for not doing that. I’ll try my best to keep you protected from now on.”

“I want to protect you, too, y’know. I got your back. We’ll protect each other. Alone, I think we’re just fine for the tag game. I mean, we survived this long. But together, we got some good chemistry.”

“We do make a good pair, don’t we?”

“JenKook, the Golden Duo. Let’s kick some Running Man tail.” she highfived him.

As they exited the emergency exit stairwell, they began their search. As they walked, she kept feeling his hand brush against hers, until she finally felt his warm hand grab onto hers. He then intertwined his fingers with hers.

“Am I...overstepping my boundaries?” He asked shyly.

She should’ve felt surprised that he was holding her hand but she didn’t. She felt comfortable around him and enjoyed the feeling.

It made her feel happy. Content. And safe.

“Nah, it feels nice, actually. I feel protected. Thanks for having my back.”

“And thanks for having mine.”

With Gary and Song Ji-hyo, they walked around, still trying to find a hiding place. “We need to hide quickly. The Golden Duo is on the loose.” She cautiously walked with him.

“I know. I wished that we could’ve ousted them earlier.” Gary responded.

Stopping, Ji-hyo turned around. “I feel like we’re being followed.”

Watching from afar, Jen and Jungkook stalked the Monday Couple.

“How are we gonna approach them?” Jungkook asked.

Smirking to herself, she turned to him, raising her eyebrows. “Stealth.”

“It’s been a while since I played Metal Gear Solid.”

“No need. Leave it to me.”

After a minute of following the Monday Couple, JenKook went after the Monday Couple from behind. Ji-hyo let out a yell in surprise when Jen grabbed a hold of her arm, aiming for her name tag.

“Whoa! Whoa!” Gary shouted, backing away from Jungkook who was aiming for his tag.

“Oppa! Help!” Ji-hyo shouted, wiggling and squirming around Jen’s strong grip. Unfortunately for her, Gary was busy with Jungkook, as Jen easily ripped off her name tag.

‘SONG JI-HYO OUT. SONG JI-HYO OUT.’

‘GARY OUT. GARY OUT.’

Jen heard as Jungkook yanked off his name tag.

‘Golden Duo aggressively eliminates Monday Couple’

“Yeah!” Jen yelled in victory, high fiving Jungkook.

‘One Minute Until Rotation’

“I found Jongkook! I can’t do this alone! Come on guys!” Jimin shouted, catching the attention of JenKook as they ran to the first floor, where Jimin was on Jongkook’s back, gripping him tight.

Rap Monster tried to snatch his name tag off but kept getting shoved away. “Aish, he’s so strong!” He said tiredly.

“Finally, you guys showed up! I can’t hold much longer! Hurry before the time runs out!” Jimin told them while they rushed up to Jongkook.

Despite it being a four on one battle, Jongkook kept his own against all of them, which began to frustrate the members. They knew he wasn’t going to go down that easily, but even with four people on him?

As they heard the countdown, they all began to frantically aim for his name tag, as Jongkook had a strong grip on Jungkook. Jen and Rapmon attempted to fight off his strong grip, so Jungkook would be released but to no avail. Once the buzzer was heard, Jongkook swiftly ripped off Jungkook’s name tag while Jimin and Rap Monster dashed away.

“Run Jen!” Jungkook shouted as she groaned and sprinted away. This was not going too well. And things got worse because as soon as she turned the corner, she was met by Kwang-soo.

Shocked by her presence, he shouted in surprise, grabbing a hold of her as she slipped down on the floor. Before she even knew what was going on, he ripped off her name tag.

'JENNIE OUT. JENNIE OUT'

‘Miss Bangtan eliminated by Kwang-soo!’

“Oh, you have GOT to be kidding me!” She looked at her name tag in his hands.

He helped her up. “I’m sorry, Miss Bangtan. It’s just a game.” He grinned nervously as she stared at him, unamused.

The audience laughed at her expression as he gulped nervously.

“What is your name again?” She asked, even though she already knew who he was.

“U-uh Lee Kwang-soo.”

“Lee Kwang-soo...” She repeated, staring him up and down, narrowing her eyes. “I’ll remember this.” She put two fingers in front of her eyes and turned them to him.

‘Kwang-soo has made an enemy’

At the end of the filming, the Running Man crew managed to win the tag game. The cast thanked BTS for attending the show as Bangtan expressed their excitement about filming the tag game.

The Monday Couple personally requested for Jennie and Jungkook to return for a future couples team episode so they could get them back for eliminating them, which they happily accepted and couldn't wait to be called back on the show.
