"You think I wanna be here?" Jennie seethed with anger as she stood outside Jungkook's house, brooding over what he had just said to her. "You think I wanna come and see your stupid face? You're such an arrogant brat, I rather be at home doing my nails or something. No - I even rather be mopping the floor at home or something. You think you're big or something? You mannerless buffoon."

Jennie inhaled sharply and turned away. But her anger boiled over once more, and she turned back towards Jungkook's apartment, glaring at the door as if it had done something terribly wrong.

"If I could, I'd tear this door down right now and punch you directly in your crooked nose-" Jennie growled. "Even if it ain't crooked right now, it'd be then. What? Just don't read all the comments? It may be easy for you, but have you ever tried thinking of things from my perspective? Should I just, bam! Kick down your door right now?"

It sounded like just a random passing thought, but Jennie actually stood there for a while, seriously contemplating if she should knock down Jungkook's door. Even if she couldn't knock it down completely, maybe a small little kick would do the trick to ease the anger in Jennie's heart. She lifted her leg, tilting her body at an angle such that the CCTV in the corner could not capture what she was doing-

Click!

The door opened, and Jennie froze. Except... it wasn't Jungkook's door, but his neighbour's. Unit 105's door opened, and out came a man clad in full black, who was holding a bag of garbage.

Jennie's leg hovered in the air precariously as she focused on the man, who had most of his body and face covered - his black bucket hat covered his eyes and a black mask covered the other half of his face

Jennie's leg hovered in the air precariously as she focused on the man, who had most of his body and face covered - his black bucket hat covered his eyes and a black mask covered the other half of his face. Jennie could barely see him, but under all that disguise, Jennie felt like he was silently judging her.

"It's not what it looks like!" Jennie waved her arms frantically as she put down her hovering foot at once. "Sir, I don't know what you think, but I definitely wasn't just about to kick your neighbour's door."

The guy didn't respond - he barely even looked at Jennie. He locked his door, shoved the key into his pocket and headed towards the lift without making a single sound.

He really must have gotten the wrong idea.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Jennie chased after the guy towards the lift lobby, where they both waited for the lift. "I'm telling you, I really wasn't going to kick his door or anything. Look at me - don't I look familiar? I'm a celebrity, that guy is my, um- boyfriend, so yeah. There's no way I would kick his door, am I right? So please don't get the wrong idea-"
