Work Text:
Thanks to their concert prep, they have done adequate rounds of performance practice for 'Rich Man'. So unsurprisingly, their first music stage pre-recording turns out to be a smooth session. Only needing to record twice; the first is perfect already and the second serves as backup footage.
As they head back home at noon after a quick celebration of the album launch, Minjeong looks forward to a simple takeout lunch and sneaking in a quick afternoon nap together with Jimin. Her older girlfriend owes her a cuddle or two because Minjeong had barely seen her around in the past week aside from dance practices!
From brand collaboration filmings to magazine feature shoots, Jimin is one heck of a busy and in-demand woman. Their fans may call her "employed", "booked and busy" and "It Girl" while Minjeong personally prefers to call her "busier than the Devil".
In spite of it all, Jimin is still capable of fitting some time in her tight schedule to interact with their fans via the fan-chat app.
All these are taking Jimin's precious time away from Minjeong. Well, except for the fan interaction part because Minjeong herself adores their fans and does partake in such livestreamed chatting as well.
But of course Minjeong's dream of having a nap-and-cuddle time is now dashed when Jimin reminds her that she will be going back to the broadcasting station soon for her hosting rehearsal an—
God, Minjeong has forgotten that!
Jimin is the special guest host for today's music show.
In the car as they travel back home, she groans against Jimin's shoulder after hearing that, her sighs muffled by her girlfriend's shirt. She's happy and proud that the older woman scored another hosting opportunity but a tiny part of her is grumbling when Jimin pulls away from her and—
Drops a kiss on her temple and nuzzles her nose against Minjeong's head.
Ugh, she can't stay annoyed with Jimin for long, can she?

When Minjeong, along with Aeri and Yizhuo arrived at the broadcasting station hours later, Jimin was already dressed in her show host clothes and all dolled up, looking pretty.
While her younger girlfriend and the rest of their members get ready, Jimin and her co-host spend some time together in the green room to go over their script and filming details. Jimin was introduced to him earlier this morning and they get along well; she is grateful he's an easygoing fellow idol who doesn't mind guiding her on camera cues and giving her hosting tips.
Though both of them have kept a friendly distance between themselves, a certain jealous lady (none other than Minjeong) can't help but scrutinise their interaction whenever she sees them.
He's too close! "They are at a respectable talking distance; any further, they will need to shout at each other."
Why did Jimin touch his hand? "Minjeong, she's just passing the microphone to him."
Are they smiling at each other? "Are you expecting them to glare at each other as co-hosts on national TV?"
Aeri rolls her eyes while Yizhuo ignores her as Minjeong goes through a series of whines, complaints, pouts and frowns.
From afar, Jimin smiles and waves excitedly at her.

As the show starts, Jimin's duty as the host also commences.
Minjeong watches as the banter between her girlfriend and that guy goes on naturally on screen and whenever Jimin is stuck or hits an awkward pause, he's there to help. It's grating on Minjeong's nerves every time Jimin locks eyes with him!
Finally, it's time for their group's interview segment.
As both hosts introduce their group, Minjeong can't help but glare at her girlfriend. Sending daggers to the back of an oblivious Jimin's head.
Amusingly, when Jimin moves away from him and steps back to stand beside them, Minjeong adorably smiles instinctively and triumphantly.
The swift and abrupt mood change proves to be clippable meme material for gleeful fans and within minutes, screenshots and snippets of both moments are posted and shared on social platforms.
Jimin's hosting continues on smoothly and once the show has ended, Minjeong is itching to pounce on her girlfriend and kiss her in front of him.
But she decides against such unneeded boldness and dramatics, and instead, opts for something far more subtle, which is clinging to Jimin's arm, pressing her cheek against the older woman's shoulder as they walk to their waiting car, garnering "awwws" from onlookers and fans alike.
After a tiring day, her energy (along with any pettiness and jealousy) has been drained out. Right now, she is just a clingy girlfriend who wants Jimin's attention and affection.
For the rest of their ride back home, Minjeong hugs Jimin's arm to her chest and uses the older woman's shoulder as her pillow.
"All your energy went to being jealous, eh?" Jimin softly pokes her nose to tease her.
Minjeong sticks out her tongue and catches her wandering hand, intertwining their fingers.
My silly baby has such cute antics when she's jealous, Jimin thinks to herself.
The older woman leans her head against Minjeong.
"Tonight, I'm all yours."
"You better be."
"I can start now—" Jimin then nibbles the shell of her ear, eliciting a yelp from Minjeong.
"Jimin!"
