It had been a week since Lisa's abortion, and the gang was trying to return to some sense of normalcy. Jackson had already started planning the party, and the excitement was palpable among the group. Jennie was particularly eager to meet Jackson, having heard so much about him from the others. The rest of the gang was equally thrilled to see their old friend again, eager to reunite and reminisce about old times. Even the kids were curious, wondering who this Jackson guy was that everyone seemed so fond of. Normally Taehyung wouldn't have taken the kids with them. After all it was an adult party. Not an appropriate environment for children. But Mingyu and Mina insisted that they wanted to go and Taehyung just gave up and agreed.

However, amidst all the excitement, Lisa was still struggling. She was physically recovering, but emotionally, she wasn’t sure if she was ready to face a crowd, let alone celebrate. Jennie had tried multiple times to convince her to join the party, reassuring her that everything would be okay, but Lisa remained firm in her decision not to go. She just wasn’t ready, and Jennie understood that. After one last gentle attempt, Jennie decided to stop pushing her friend. She respected Lisa's decision and didn’t want to add any more pressure to what she was already feeling.

After leaving Lisa’s room, Jennie walked to her own, where Taehyung was standing by a large dressing mirror, assessing the variety of luxurious suits the maids had laid out for him. There were about ten different options, each more extravagant than the last, but three of them had caught his eye.

The first was a deep navy blue suit, made of the finest velvet, with subtle silver embroidery along the cuffs and lapels that added a touch of elegance without being too flashy. The second was a sleek, all-black suit, perfectly tailored, with a satin finish that gave it a modern, sophisticated edge. The third was a classic white suit with a black satin lapel, exuding a timeless charm that could easily make anyone wearing it the center of attention.

Jennie walked up to Taehyung, wrapping her arms around his waist as she looked at the suits over his shoulder on her tip toes. "Which one do you like the most tae?" she asked, her voice soft and curious.

Taehyung sighed, shaking his head slightly. "I can't decide love. They're all beautiful." he admitted, genuinely torn between the three choices.

Just then, the maids brought in Jennie’s dresses, presenting her with a dazzling array of 15 different options. The collection ranged from elegant evening gowns to chic cocktail dresses, each one more beautiful than the last. But as soon as Jennie laid eyes on one particular dress, she knew it was the one.

It was a stunning dark red dress, crafted from luxurious silk that seemed to shimmer under the light. The dress was designed to hug her curves in all the right places, with a sweetheart neckline that added a touch of romance. The most striking feature, however, was the intricate rose detail on the hip, made from the same rich red fabric, giving the dress an added element of elegance and flair. The skirt flared out slightly at the bottom, adding a touch of drama as it swept the floor.

Jennie’s eyes lit up as she pointed to the red dress. "This one," she said, her voice filled with certainty. "It’s perfect."

Taehyung turned to look at her, his gaze softening as he imagined how beautiful she would look in the dress. "You’ll look stunning in that, my dear." he murmured, pulling her closer for a kiss on her temple.

With Jennie’s decision made, Taehyung finally settled on a suit that would complement her dress—a black suit with a subtle dark red satin lining on the inside of the jacket, which would peek out when he moved. The tie he chose was also red, matching Jennie’s dress perfectly. The maids took away the chosen outfits, leaving the couple to relax.

Jennie and Taehyung then moved to the sofa, where they laid down together, Jennie nestled comfortably against Taehyung’s chest as he wrapped his arms around her. They stayed like that for a while, enjoying the quiet intimacy of the moment.
