Trial of love| Taennie

23.

Jennie bowed in finale once as people began leaving the room and she began gathering her papers.

"We did good, thanks for coming. Help me clean this up?" She asked her two group mates, Jungkook and Sana, who immediately got to work along with her to not leave the paper trash behind.

As Jennie was below the stage and was cleaning those off the floor, someone approached her from behind.

"Umm Sunbae?(senior)?" They called as she turned around and met a younger boy she had no idea of.

"Ah yes, can I help you?" She asked, a little confused, as he shook his head.

"Ah well.... I just wanted to say you had a really good seminar. I enjoyed it a lot." he muttered rather sheepishly.

"Oh really? Thank you for coming. I hope you enjoy other seminars this week as well." She replied politely with a slim smile.

However he still looked a little nervous as she stared at him.

Am I that scary? Jennie thought to herself looking at the fidgety boy.

"Is there something else?" She asked politely as he was a little startled.

"Umm yes. Me and my friends are going for an early dinner today, at the new Italian restaurant, and I wanted to invite you as a guest, if you would like that is." He politely requested as she let out a nervous chuckle.

"Thank you, really, but I'm actually also heading out for an early dinner with my teammates you see. I'm not available as of now." She apologised as he shook his head.

"No, no, I understand. It's okay. Please do enjoy your early dinner sunbae." he replied as she let out a smile at the kid.

"Of course, and do reach out to me via email if you have any questions at all, don't hesitate." she said as he bowed at her and left, and the other two approached her.

"Unnie, we're done. Let's go now, I can't wait to eat some Korean barbecue." Sana exclaimed while smiling as she handed Jennie's bag to the elder, and Jungkook also stood by the two smiling.

"Yep. And let's go Dutch today, or we can divide the bill. You can't pay everything again noona." he said to Jennie pointedly as she chuckled at the pair.

"All right all right fine. We can go now, if you promise to be on time tomorrow to the scene investigation." she warned as the two nodded, and all three headed out the hall towards Jennie's car.

"So, was my lecture good today? I think I was a little fast paced." Jennie sheepishly muttered as Jungkook denied it.

"Nope, you were probably better than a lot of lecturers we have. They go way to speedy without explaining like you did. Trust me you were alright." he reassured her as Jennie nodded with a smile, opening the trunk as they all placed their bags.

"So, who's sitting with me upfront?" She asked as Jungkook and Sana immediately looked at each other then back.

"Me!" The two yelled at the same time, and then within a moment began arguing between each other.

"All right all right wait. Present an argument, each of you, on why you should sit in the front." Jennie mused as she leant again her own door.

"I have the better music taste out of us two." Sana immediately said earning a stink glare from Jungkook .

"Firstly, no. My music is way better. And secondly, I'm better at navigation." he said as Jennie nodded, pretending to be deep in though.

"Sorry Sana, I do need a better navigator for today, since I don't know any good Korean barbecue restaurant. Maybe next time love." she said as Jungkook raised a fist in the air while Sana rolled her eyes at him.

"Way to rub it in." She said frustratedly as he only shrugged.

"You're just salty you weren't enough. Sour loser." he smirked.

"Yah the two of you get in before I take neither of you." Jennie yelled lowering her window as the pair scrambled to get in, forgetting about the whole argument seconds ago.

"So... where to?" Jennie asked as Jungkook smiled and they began driving.

————>

A while later they all parked in front of an alley as the car couldn't fit through there.

"Jungkook, you know I trust you and all, but are you sure you haven't gotten us lost?" Jennie asked looking skeptically at the alley.

"Told you I should have sat shotgun." Sana said as Jungkook smacked her arm.

"Shut up. And trust me, I've been here so many times ever since I found out about it. Everyone who lives around here knows about this restaurant." he said as he began walking in, as Jennie and Sana only looked at each other and shrugged before following.

The three of them looked pretty out of place, wearing all formal clothing. Jennie especially, as she was dressed in a one piece grey suit with a black Hermes hand bag and Christian Louboutin black pumps.

Everyone else there was wearing casual wear as they stared at the trio walking past them.

It was an odd mix. The one in front was marching forward like a bull, confident as ever while the two in the back were looking very confused of where they were.

Finally Jungkook stopped as they reached a store, whose sign was illuminated by a regular led sign.

"I guess you actually knew where you were going." Jennie said before walking past him and inside.

"Well that's a first." Sana said before walking in again.

"Yah did none of you guys trust me at all?" He yelled also following them.

"Nope."

"No."

The two voices called out as he scoffed at them.

"It's not like I did something wrong before." he said sitting down at the circular table.

"No, but you are quite...." Sana began not able to find the word.

"You're just Jungkook, you know." Jennie ended shrugging as she looked over at the store.

"Yeah. You're a little too, hyper. And clueless, sometimes. So we just don't know what to expect from you most of the time." Sana replied.

"No but why?"
