BTS: The Jeong Couple

Hong Kong-style beauty fan x South Korea's hidden ace

Jung Hoseok first met the girl Zheng Qingrang at a fan-sign event shortly after his debut. Why did he remember her so clearly?

Because the moment she saw him, she burst into tears. Her Korean wasn't very fluent either, and only with Shimi's translation did he learn she was a Chinese girl born in 1998 and a trainee too.

Later, every member of BTS knew that Jung Hoseok had a beautiful little fan younger than the maknae, who gazed at him with bright, adoring eyes at every fan-sign event.

But after she became famous in 2015, she never came again.

They met again on the stage for the first-place performance of "I Need U." Ah, why was she crying again?

So she hadn't come because she'd debuted?

Backstage at a music show for "HYYH Part 2" in 2015,

Trash senior: "Why are you juniors so rude? Is it because you're Chinese? Fuck... I'm giving you my number because I want to take care of you, so don't get full of yourself."

Jung Hoseok was on his way to the restroom when he saw his little fan being grabbed by some trashy senior who was saying all kinds of filthy things to her.

Ah, shit... She's going to cry again.

He was about to step in when he heard the girl say calmly and clearly, "Is this because you think I'm Chinese and have no one to rely on in a foreign country?"

"You're wrong. Precisely because I'm Chinese, even an ordinary sexual harassment complaint could become an international case. Do you want to become famous that way?"

Jung Hoseok's lips curved. His little girl had grown up.

But the next second, he saw her crouching against the wall, one hand still trembling...

2016,

Zheng Qingrang's group had failed, so she entered the Pick 101 audition show. With "Mei" and her versatile, charming Chinese dance, she became one of the show's hottest contestants.

Jung Hoseok appeared as a special performance guest, and the girl walked coldly past him...

2017, Japan

Jung Hoseok: "Qingrang, I love you."

Zheng Qingrang: "I'm sorry, oppa. I'm not good enough for you!"

After they got together, she lied to Jung Hoseok that she could read palms, and he obediently held out his hand.

She pretended to trace the lines with her fingertip, then said, "I was joking. I can't."

Jung Hoseok: "Open your hand."

She did as he asked.

Then he slipped his fingers between hers and intertwined their hands, smiling as he said, "That's okay. I mean it."

This is a story about two gentle moons colliding and falling in love, about peaceful days and enduring affection.

This is one story in a series. Those who've read my other stories probably know that once I've finished a single-couple story, I'll write about the girls making waves in 2018...
