"The only person that i know with that name is Jennie Kim.... blackpink's rapper"

"Ex-member" namjoon corrected the maknae who was sitting beside V.

"But is it true that she left the group due to the drug scandal?" Jhope suddenly asks.

It was said that the blackpink's member sudden disappearance is due to the marijuana that was found on her bag which was revealed by the insider, the same girl who also ousted seungri and hanbin to the police. But was proved to be innocent later on.

Suga smacks him down. "Not everything you watch or read online is true." He mutters a quick apology after that.

Bang pd clears his throat, "he's right guys, and you should be careful in every words around her. We dont want to look ungrateful to our benefactor, do we?"

The bts members became quiet and a look of understanding is shared between them. Showbiz is a tough business and everyone watches your everymove. Even if you're on the top, sometimes you feel like there a cage and no freedom.

'Maybe she got tired of everyone putting a lot of scandals around her. that's why she left'

"Come to think of it, how did you even get a hold to jennie-ssi?" V asks, with jungkook curiosity in his eyes.

The manager answers them. "Well i had a contact on the blackpink's manager and called her when I remembered that she was born and raised here in NZ, good thing jennie-ssi was stating here so we talked to her and asked her if it's alright to stay with her until the lockdown is lifted."

"Cant we just atleast book somewhere else? A hotel or room? Somewhere?" Jungkook says, uncomfortable staying with a female idol.

"We tried, but you know how hard it was..."

The other members remain silent, it was true that no one would accommodate them even if they were the world superstars, the world is know facing a chaos and everyone is wary of each other. Especially to the foreigners.

Namjoon steps up, being the main leader, he is responsible for his members and their actions. And he dont want to add weigh to their president's worries.

"I'll look after them Pd-nim no worries." He says assuredly which they nodded.

"Mr. Bang, we've already reached the destination."

The driver called them and they saw black gate on the entrance.

A security guard run to their bus, signaling for a checkpoint.

"Is this the residence of Ms. Jennie kim?" The manager went down and talked to the guard in english language.

"Yes, can you state your name and business?" The guard replied, with the dogs barking from the distance. The manager handed him the card and told him about the place to stay.

"Alright, let them in." He motions his fellow guard after receiving an order from the main security.

"But we need to take Counter measures first to check before letting you in."

"Alright. Show us the way please." Then the manger went back to the bus and told them the news.

"Daebak, it looks so serene  on here" - jin says while looking at the forest, the bus that they were riding is already moving, following the guard's vehicle who was bringing them to the place.

They saw a small but elegant white house which was greeted by woman who looked like in her 30's and korean.

"Annyeonghaseyo, welcome to the La Casa de Madera." She walked to them and bowed which was returned by the bts group and the staffs.

"My name is Song ji hyo, but you can call me Ji hyo and i will be personally assisting you to the residence. But first, to ensure the safety of the whole household. We have to check first every one of you including your temperature, blood testing etc. This is jus a protocol dont worry." She give them a smile but everyone looks at each other, nervous and tiredness were on their system.

"Well, what if somebody has a virus? Are you going to take us out?" One of the staffs says, making the atmosphere gloomy. The guards were looking at them, huge and muscular, making them more intimidated.

"Aniyo..." ji hyo says in korean dialect. She quickly dismisses the guards and opens the door to let them in.

Her strict facade suddenly vanishes once they were inside. "Oh my gosh, i cant believe that the BTS is infront of me!! I'm a huge fan of you guys! Can you sign this?" She took out the latest album and handed to the members, each one signing it.

"Can i have some water please?" Jin asks which she quickly followed. "Anna, can you get our visitors their refreshments and some snacks, they come from a long way just to get in here." She called the servant and handed them the orders.

"Anyways, back to the topic, we have to follow the protocol first before letting you in, and as a manner of speaking, regardless if you are positive or negative to the virus, we're Still gonna let you staying here for a while but we have to separate the living so that the virus wont spread and they will be receiving the medical treatment needed."

Everyone nodded in agreement and the staffs entered the room starting the process.

"Are we going to stay here after this?" Namjoon asks. 

"No, the mistress has already made some arrangements for your place, this is just the quarantine house." Ji hyo replies.

"I thought that we we're going to stay here." Jungkook jokes making the other staffs laugh, "i was thinking where would bang pd gonna fit here."

"Yah! You—-"

"Is her family also staying here? This place looks pretty big thou we havent seen the full place yet." V asks.

"Yah! Did you forget that—!" Namjoon quickly shushes his member, which he realizes and bowed in apology.

They read on the news that Jennie's brother suddenly died in a plane crash together with his wife. Then there were news circulating after, that jennie's grandfathers shortly died after that. Leaving her all alone in this world.

"I'm very sorry for the loss."

Ji hyo smiles in understanding, "thank you, and please drop the formalities, you can be casual with me, I'm only 34 years old."

"You're just 34? You look young!" The manager suddenly interrupted, a light blush spreading on his cheeks.

"I smell something fishy hyung~~" jin wiggles his brows, teasing their manager who blushes hard.

"Noona, this is Kang gary hyung, he's our manager, SINGLE AND AVAILABLE." Jungkook adds

"He's also kind and sweet. everyday he pulls me out to the bed by throwing a bucket of water or——"

"Yah! Jungkook ah!" Their manager chases them across the living area while the other members keeps teasing on it.

Ji hyo smiles in their interaction, it was refreshing to see their childlike innocence, light and cheerful aura.  It was like a sun bringing some warmth to the place. She was so used to a strict and gloomy atmosphere in their manor. 'especially after the deaths of her masters and mistress.'

"Hi, my name is Ji Hyo, I hope we become friends."

She shook hands with the man who she never thought would be More than what she asked for.

"Hello, I'm Kang Gary."

——————————————-
"Alright everyone is already finished so lets get started with the tour, shall we?"

Everyone has gathered their belongings and luggages while waiting for the cart to pick them up. The buses can no longer go further since they were still disinfecting and cleaning. Meanwhile, everyone managed to stay safe amidst the virus and no one caught it, much to the president's relief.

"I'm so hungryyy" jimin whines again for the nth time. He sat on the ground following Jhope, energy was drain.

"I gotta agree with him hyung, i feel so drained after all the tests, look! I didn't realize its almost nighttime." Jungkook shows them the time, 6:30pm.

"Hey guys, its already here, lets ride now shall we?" Ji hyo motions the group to the carts with her and the group leading, 6 more carts were following.

"So we are going first to the cottage where the staffs are going to stay, how many of them again sir?"

Gary answers her who was sitting behind her, answers her, "we are 23 in total, 14 are staffs are 9 are us, including the group, Pd-nim and me."

Ji hyo nodded and instructed the driver to go to the cottage. "This should be the place assigbed to them." She geatures to the house.

She motions the staffs inside the house while the bts members stays on the cart.

"Wah.. daebak" taehyung marveled the architecture of the house, it has a vintage look on it.

From the inside, ji hyo was touring the staffs around and telling them about the food stocks, phone service and even gave them the password to their internet. She also told them the rules and regulations of the place which includes keeping the privacy of the owner and not sharing any information about her mistress.

"So this is the living area, where you can stay and there's glass fireplace to keep you warm..."

"Then there's the main kitchen and the main bathroom here in ground, 3 bathrooms on the second floor to share.."

"Then for the bedrooms, we have 6 on the ground gloor while 7 on the second floor, you guys can share for the remaining, but dont worry some rooms have 4 beds on it."

"Then more living and dining area on the second floor..."

"And also, theres an indoor pool on the ground where you can enjoy and relax.."

" and lastly we have cinema where you could also hangout" jo hyo finishes her tour, she could hear squeals and delight from the staffs who were looking around the house.

"This is the number to the main house if you have any problems or concerns, alright?" She handed the card to one of the staffs.

"Man, i wouldn't care if i can stay in here forever!" She heard one of the female staff jokes after leaving the house. She was happy just by looking at their smiles. It was something she rarely see in the manor.

"Noona! Hurry up, I'm so excited to see our place!!" Jungkook pushes the older woman and sits on the cart, "i heard that there's a pool and a farm here! Is it far from here?" He cheekily asks, excitement quickly changes after they saw the place for the staffs.

Ji hyo looked at the driver, "you told them sergio? I was going to surprise them!"

The driver shrugs, looking the passengers on his rear view mirror, "well i got excited as well to their enthusiasm... you know how long this place was closed before we received visitors. And i feel like the place restored because of them."

She smiles while reminiscing the old memories, "did you know that this manor used to be a camping site and resort here in new zealand? It was so famous back there that almost everyday, it was fully booked and even some famous celebrities from hollywood stay here in their vacation."

"Really??? Daebak!!!" Jin glees,

" look, that used to be leonardo di caprio's vacation house."

"Where???" They chorused.

"There." Ji hyo points to one of the houses, all of them are in awe how beautiful the rest house was. It has a homey vibe on it and warm.

"This place is so beautiful!" Jimin commented, enjoying the scenery.

"Why did you closed it down? If you mind us asking?"

Ji hyo suddenly became silent that it became gloomy so Sergio changes a topic.

"look there's a lake!"

The boys forget the question and instead enjoy the sceneries before them.
