IDOL MEETS IDOL

- in which you, the newest addition to blackpink, have a huge crush on jeon jungkook and it's no secret to anyone so imagine your surprise when you're told that the a collaboration between his band and yours is underway; requested by @Lolaaax_

"Oh my god," you gasp with a squeak, plucking the warm material from the hands of the flustered young girl sitting in front of you to hold it up against your chest, the girl's smile wide as you admire her gift for you.

"I specifically waited for the Jungkook version to come out," she explains with a little laugh as you run your fingers over his name printed on the back, "so I could grab it for you because I know how much you like him."

You flash her a beaming smile, snatching the discarded marker from the side of the table to quickly scrawl your signature in her album before leaning over the table to squeeze her against you for a bone-crushing hug.

Flustered, she pulls away with red tinted cheeks, bowing down to you as she grabs her album and heads off the stage, making sure to take a photo with the Blackpink fan meeting sign before she leaves.

You wave at her when she looks back, humming to yourself excitedly as you waste no time in slipping the hoodie over your head, letting it fall over you, the material ending just at your knees.

In short, you love it.

You sit down just as a finger taps onto your shoulder from the side. With a little huff, you turn to face Jennie with a sheepish grin as she fondly chuckles at the excitement still lighting up your eyes like a firecracker.

"Calm down," she advises with a knowing look, "you don't want everyone knowing that you've got a massive crush on Jungkook."

You roll your eyes with a sassy flip of your hair over your shoulder. "Everyone already knows, it hasn't been much of a secret."

Two years ago, you were welcomed into Blackpink as a new member that would win over the hearts of everyone with your unique charm and fresh voice. As an avid fan of Korean idols and their music before actually joining an agency, you have become a member that most fangirls can relate and look up to.

However, your favourite out of those who have inspired you to join the entertainment industry is BTS, in particular, the band's youngest, Jungkook.

Since joining Blackpink, you've tried to keep your love for the boys on the down low to not cause drama between fans, something you know all too well, but an interview at a well known talk show made it hard to avoid the topic.

The interviewer asked you about your love for the group after a recent surge of posts from your close friends talking about you appeared online. You were flustered but remained honest, explaining that you've been a fan of BTS since their debut days, are greatly inspired by them and love everything they've been doing with their music and concepts.

Then you were asked about your bias.

You were hesitant to answer the question but after coaxing from the interviewer and nods from your managers behind the camera you finally admitted, with a mad blush and a noticeable shake in your hands, that it's Jeon Jungkook.

From there, fans of both groups had begun talking about how great it would be for the two of you to meet and how adorable it would be if the two of you were to become a couple, some even claiming that Jungkook had reacted to your interview and called you cute.

Jennie shrugs and flashes you a suggestive grin before returning her focus to the fan sitting in front of her, leaving you to feel confused as the pit of curiosity towards what she might be hiding from you in your stomach grows.

The event ends shortly after that and, before you can go home, you're all called to a quick meeting.

You groan as the announcement is made and follow behind the girls lethargically, managing to latch onto Lisa's wrist so she can walk/drag you to the meeting room, her smile fond despite your limp weight slowing her down.

The managers are already in there waiting, some of them eyeing the way you hold onto Lisa so, with an embarrassed clear of your throat, you straighten your posture and offer them welcoming bows as you timidly shuffle towards your seat.

"Great job today with the fanmeeting, girls," Hyunjae, your favourite manager out of them all, smiles, clapping his hands together at your achievements. "I'm sorry to keep you all in because I can see that you're tired but I received an email that I'm sure will be of great interest to you."

"It regards a collaboration," he continues with a sigh, "and, of course, I haven't agreed to it because I wanted to get your thoughts on it first."

"Well, who is it with?" Rose speaks up, managing to somehow pick up that everyone was curious about the same thing.

"I'm glad you asked," he chuckles, clasping his hands in front of him professionally. "The man who emailed me was Bang Si Hyuk and he would like us to collaborate with BTS for a single that is to be released in the next four months."

Your mouth falls open as a gasp of pleasant shock rips through your throat, hands flying up to your mouth instinctively as you push your chair back to stand. "Yes, we'll do it!"

The room bursts into laughter at your outburst, your cheeks flaming as you shyly take your seat again, watching as the other girls agree to the collab in a more reserved way.

"Fantastic," Hyunjae breathes in relief, "I'll go make the call and you guys can head home."

You skip out with a beaming smile, already fantasising about how your first ever meeting with Jungkook is going to go, ignoring the high-pitched teasing laughs of your bandmates behind you.

"Seriously, calm down," Jisoo urges, wincing slightly as your hold on her wrists tighten, your eyes wide and lips pushed out into a pout as you stand in the middle of her room after running in all stressed about today's meeting. "You're getting yourself worked up over nothing."

"Nothing?" you scoff in disbelief, releasing your iron grip on her to throw yourself back onto her bed with a groan. "Eonnie, this is not nothing! I'm meeting the very group that made me who I am today and it's to share a song that I was asked to create so we can all sing it together!"

"Inside voices," Jisoo scolds quietly, clicking her tongue in annoyance as if you are a child in the middle of a headache inducing tantrum, your face falling at the hardened tone in her voice.

"Sorry," you sigh, getting up slowly to take a deep breath and sift your fingers through your hair. "The point is, I don't want to make a fool out of myself."

She allows a fond chuckle to bubble out of her throat as she sits beside you, guiding your head to rest on her shoulder. "You're overthinking it, Y/N. The song is beautiful and I promise they are going to love it. Also, this is a really good opportunity for you to learn from them and get advice on things you're worried about. Besides, if you make a mistake, you've got Jennie, Rose, Lisa and myself there to help you fix it."

You cuddle into her as she finishes speaking, sighing as your nerves and worries slowly disappear from your mind, leaving only the boiling excitement behind. "Thank you, Eonnie."

She hums before pushing you off her, chasing you out of her room with the reminder that the both of you still have to get ready, laughing heartily as you gasp in sheer panic and run towards your room.

It's not long before the company van is pulling up in front of the BigHit building, your mouth tasting like cardboard as it dries up, your sandpaper like tongue feeling horrible against your lips as you attempt to bring back the moisture in your mouth.

Noticing this, Lisa hands you a bottle of water.

You guzzle down half its contents, the coolness of it travelling down your throat somehow managing to help you regain your composure as the five of you follow behind Hyunjae who leads you into the now less intimidating building.

Hyunjae stops in front of a navy blue door, turning back to give you an enthusiastic thumbs up before knocking on the door. You hold your breath until it opens, peeking in between the gaps to see if they're in there yet.

Much to your relief, you're only able to spot a few managers you recognise from events and two producers, their smiles wide and welcoming as they stand to greet you with polite bows.

Mimicking their behaviours, you usher yourselves into the room and take your seats, engaging in light conversation with those in there as they apologise for the boys' tardiness, claiming that practice has been hectic.

With admiration glazing your eyes, you wave their apologies off.

After what feels like hours, there is a soft knock at the door, your heart begging your ribcage to set it free as you look over, hands squeezed together under the table as it opens only slightly, Namjoon's head coming into view as he flashes the room a dimpled grin, moving over to push the door fully open.

You stand with a start, bowing down to them as they all enter and introduce themselves, sure that your cheeks are flushed a bright red as they move around the room to find themselves a seat, your eyes instinctively aiming to avoid eye contact with any of them.

It doesn't even register that there is an empty seat beside yours until someone clears their throat and begins to take a seat, curiosity getting the better of you as you flick your gaze up to see Jungkook settling himself in for the meeting.

Holy shit.

You stiffen immediately, embarrassed to have even been slouching in his presence as he spares you a softened glance, your heart fluttering as you return it calmly. Your need to grab onto Rose's hand upon realising that the warm waves of rose and sandalwood are coming from him, however, says that your calm state is merely a facade.

Funnily enough, you don't even realise that the meeting has started until Hyunjae calls out to you expectantly, your smile sheepish as you snap back to reality.

"Pardon?" is all you can say as he can't help but chuckle softly at your behaviour.

"I asked if you could explain what the single will be about," he explains kindly, watching as you become fidgety under everyone's gazes, timidly nodding. What amazes him more though is that you seem to look a little more confident in yourself when your eyes meet Jungkook's, his expression clearly indicating that he is eager to hear your idea.

"Well," you start shakily, passing the printed lyrics up to Hyunjae to hand out, "I wanted the song to be something that our fans could listen to when they're feeling down or when they miss us. As one myself, it's a comforting thought to know that those we look up to are constantly showing their love for us in various ways and, now as an idol, I can see that to deliver content to them or even just post a message on social media is very hard with the busy schedules. I was hoping that this song could immortalise how much we love and are grateful for them when we aren't able to tell them that ourselves."

The room soon begins to light up with blinding smiles as they read through the words on the page, simply silenced by the amount of emotion that has gone into your work.

"These are beautiful," Jin gushes as he looks over to you, breaking the silence with his gentle voice as all the other members nod in agreement. "They sound really personal too."

"Yeah," you shyly breathe out, "I've been a huge fan of both Blackpink and BTS since your debut days so I based it off what I would want to hear as an ARMY or Blink."

Things settle down soon after that as the managers begin discussing what our schedules are going to look like throughout the making of this song. While trying to pay attention, however, Jungkook nudges your shoulder.

"Hey," he whispers, "I didn't get a chance to say anything before but the song really is so beautiful."

"Thank you," you whisper back, flashing him a small smile before looking away when you feel his warm breath fan your cheeks, a sign that he's moved closer.

"Y'know, I heard that you've got a crush on me," he croons, watching as you gasp quietly and turn to face him with panic dulling the vibrancy in your eyes.

"I'm so sorry, you must be so weirded out--"

"No," he blurts out, flustered by your response, "it's fine. I actually think it's cute."

"Cute?" you squeak, trying to supress your smile but failing miserably.

He nods, humming for a second before snapping his fingers, turning away from you to address the room. "I think that Y/N and I should work on vocals tomorrow over coffee."

Hyunjae looks to you for confirmation. "You okay with that?"

"Sure," you exclaim with a giggle, "can't wait!"

Chuckles echo around the room as you awkwardly scratch the back of your head and lean back into your seat, looking over at Jungkook as he shoots you a cheeky wink before draping his arm across the back of your chair.
