No one would take it seriously of course. In a concert hall that busy, everyone half-blinded from stage lights and near deaf from the crowds, it’s easy to misconstrue any passing look as interest. But Jennie knows it’s not a mistake, and the knowledge makes her curl up inside and scream from the pit of her belly.

She hopes he never sees the video; she hopes he does.

He smiled back at her, and whether it was courtesy or not, it makes her floaty with glee for the whole next week.

Park Jimin—Bangtan boy, vocalist, curved eyes, taut arms, devastating smile.

Jennie secretly thinks he’s the most attractive idol in the industry, but she keeps that to herself. If she’s lucky, it’ll go to the grave with her.
