Jennie stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her outfit for what felt like the tenth time. She was dressed casually—ripped jeans, an oversized cardigan, and her favorite black boots—but nothing seemed enough.

After Taehyung’s sweet reassurance the day before, she had felt a little better. But now that she was actually about to visit his filming set for the first time — where Bae Irene was waiting as his co-star — her anxiety was crawling back.

What if she really is prettier in person?
What if they have insane chemistry and everyone talks about them like the next ‘it couple’?

She sighed heavily, biting her lip as she paced around the room.

"Yah, Jennie, get it together," she mumbled to herself, shaking her head.

Just then, her phone buzzed.

Tae: Jagiya, I’ll send someone to pick you up in 10. Be ready!

Jennie smiled despite herself, heart flipping at his excitement. He actually wants me there.

Ten minutes later, she was in a sleek black car, on her way to Taehyung's filming location. Her heart was pounding so loudly she could hear it in her ears.

**Arriving on Set**

When she stepped out of the car, Jennie was met with bustling crew members, giant cameras, and lights positioned all over the place.

Everyone seemed so busy—moving props, checking scripts, adjusting lighting. It was chaos but an exciting kind of chaos.

She tightened her grip on her bag, feeling small and out of place, until she spotted Taehyung standing a few meters away, laughing with some staff.

Her breath hitched.

Dressed in a crisp suit for his scene, he looked like a walking dream. His hair was perfectly styled, and that signature soft smile was lighting up his face.

But before she could approach him—

“Jennie-ssi?” a voice called out.

Jennie turned to see one of the production assistants smiling at her.

“Yes?”

“Taehyung-ssi asked me to take you to him. Please follow me.”

Jennie nodded, clutching her bag as she followed the woman.

**Taehyung’s Surprise for Jennie**

Taehyung turned at the exact moment they arrived, and his entire face lit up when he saw her.

“There she is!” he called out, his grin wide and genuine.

Jennie blushed as he walked up and immediately took her hand in front of everyone.

“Everyone,” he called out to the nearby staff, pulling Jennie gently to his side, “this is my wife, Jennie.”

Jennie's eyes widened at his open introduction.

A few murmurs and smiles went through the crowd.

“She’s beautiful!” someone whispered, and Jennie felt her cheeks heating up.

Taehyung leaned closer to her ear. “I wanted everyone to know you’re mine, baby,” he whispered, making her heart flutter wildly.

Jennie smiled shyly, but her heart swelled with warmth.

Just then—

“Taehyung-ssi! We need to prep for the next scene,” a staff member called.

Taehyung sighed and turned to Jennie. “Stay close. Watch me, okay? I want you to see everything.”

She nodded, suddenly feeling braver.

**First Encounter with Irene**

Jennie took a seat near the monitor, watching as Taehyung walked to the set.

Her stomach churned slightly when Bae Irene walked up to him, script in hand, looking effortlessly gorgeous with her long hair flowing and makeup flawless.

Jennie sat up straighter, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Irene laughed at something Taehyung said, and when she playfully hit his arm, Jennie’s jaw clenched.

“Relax, Jennie,” she whispered to herself, trying not to look like a jealous wife in front of all the crew.

But as the scene started, and Irene looked at Taehyung with soft eyes while delivering her lines, Jennie could feel her blood boil.

Those are my Taehyung's eyes to look into, not hers.

**After the Scene**

As soon as "Cut!" was called, Taehyung made a beeline straight for Jennie, ignoring everyone else, including Irene.

He plopped down next to her, taking her hand casually.

“How was I?” he asked, looking like a little boy seeking approval.

Jennie smiled, a bit smug now. "You were good... but don’t smile at her like that again."

Taehyung burst out laughing, pulling her closer. "Were you watching that closely?"

"Of course," she pouted. "I’m here to keep an eye on my man."

Just then, Irene walked over, smiling politely. "Hi, Jennie-ssi, right? I’m Bae Irene. It’s nice to meet you."

Jennie stood up, facing her with a polite smile but her eyes sharp. "Yes. Taehyung's wife."

There was a tiny pause, but Irene kept her composure. "Of course. I’ve heard a lot about you."

Jennie simply nodded, holding Taehyung’s hand tighter.

Irene glanced between them and smiled, clearly getting the message. "I’ll see you both around."

As she walked away, Jennie sat back down, letting out a small victorious sigh.

Taehyung leaned in, smirking. "Were you trying to scare her away?"

"Maybe," Jennie shrugged playfully.

He kissed her cheek. "You’re so cute when you’re jealous."

"I wasn’t jealous," she said, but her red cheeks said otherwise.

"Sure, you weren’t," he teased, pulling her closer and wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "But if it makes you feel better, I’m glad you came. Watching you glare at her was the highlight of my day."

Jennie giggled, resting her head on his shoulder. "I just don’t like sharing you."

"And you never have to," he promised softly. "You’re my only one."

**Later, Heading Home**

As they left the set, hand-in-hand, Jennie felt lighter. She was reminded that no matter what the world said, no matter who Taehyung worked with—he was hers.

"Hey, Jagiya?" Taehyung called, glancing down at her.

"Hmm?"

"Thank you for coming today. It meant a lot to me."

She smiled, squeezing his hand. "I’ll always be there. Always."
