"Look-" Jennie jumped up from the bed quickly. "That was a lie. I always lie when I'm drunk, you know? That was a complete lie - me and Jungkook-ie... we really are an actual thing."

"It's okay-" Yoongi scoffed as he turned to leave. "I already told you I'll keep your secret, you don't have to freak out so much."

She was dead meat.

"No, no, no-" Jennie charged forward and grabbed Yoongi by his arm, spinning him around to face her. "I love him and he loves me - we're happy together, okay? Let's get that right."

"Alright, alright."

"You still don't believe me!" Jennie gasped dramatically. "Yoongi-ssi, tell me what makes you unable to trust what I'm telling you right now? I was completely wasted then, but now I'm sober so I'm telling you the truth - we're an actual thing!"

"It's not like I care that much... but your actions speak otherwise."

"How? What did I do?"

"Allowing another guy to sleep in your house, getting wasted and falling asleep at another guy's house, coming up with all kinds of excuses to show up at my door-" Yoongi raised his eyebrows. "I'm not the best at understanding a normal human's emotions, Jennie-ssi - but if I were your boyfriend, I'm pretty sure he'd have showed up here by now. But he left you alone - never checked on you once, never showed up since he moved out either. What am I supposed to think?"

"Well..." Jennie still pushed her luck. "Maybe... we're like in an... open relationship... or something... I don't know..."

Yoongi pursed his lips. "Really, now?"

"Urgh, fine, you win-" Jennie groaned as she walked over to the bed and took a seat once more. "You're right, I was stupid, I gave myself away by accident. But trust me, Yoongi-ssi - no, oppa - I really have a good reason to conceal this fact from the public, so you really have to promise not to tell anyone, at all costs. Not a single soul can hear about this, you understand? Not even my manager-oppa, or even Jungkook-ie himself. For real, they'll murder me if they find out someone else knows about it."

Yoongi shrugged nonchalantly. "I already said I wasn't gonna tell anyone."

"Good, and I trust you-" Jennie heaved a sigh of relief. "I have always trusted you, and I trust you on this, oppa. Thank you. Also, about last night..."

"Not telling a single soul about that either," Yoongi said automatically. "Honestly, you really have nothing to fear. Like I said, I don't know anyone, and I hardly even leave my apartment, so I have no one to tell this stuff to. I'm also not a gossipy kind of guy, so yeah."

"You're right, you barely even leave your home..." Now that her crisis was averted, Jennie was back to scanning Yoongi from head to toe. "But then why are you wearing a rather nice outfit today? It's still full black, but it's way more presentable than you usual fits."

"About this..." Yoongi bit his lower lip as he turned towards the door. "I have you to thank."

"Huh?" Jennie frowned as she hopped out of bed once more, chasing Yoongi down the hall. "Wait, where are you going? I don't understand."

"It's not confirmed yet-" Yoongi stopped and turned around abruptly, causing Jennie to brake right before she crashed right into him. "But if I do pass the interview, I'll let you know."
