On Thursday, Yanjun stood outside leaning against his car, waiting for Scarlett to finish with class. He had gotten up early in the morning and drove her to school since he had his own errands to run and told her he'd pick her up since he had nothing else to do.

Yanjun spotted Scarlett coming outside and with her, was a guy with a large instrument in it's case. He couldn't tell what instrument it was, but he knew it was most likely a hassle carrying the thing around with him. The two of them were on the sidewalk, talking about something as Yanjun's phone rung.

He pulled the device out of his pocket and immediately answered it, holding the phone to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Hello. Is this Lin Yanjun," the person on the other side of the line asked.

"Yes..."

Scarlett walked out of her class happy with the work she got done. She was tired, but was also happy since she didn't have dance class. As much as she loved it, she wasn't in the mood for the activity. Today she was going to get some things done for her trip back to America being that she was to leave with her father early in the morning on Saturday.

"Thank you again, Gege," Scarlett smiled up at the older man.

"No problem. I'm happy to help you with your song. You know, you're really good with composing. Are you a music major?"

"No, I just do it for fun. Thank you very much though," she replied. Her eyes flickered to the parking lot to see Yanjun on the phone, he was kicking something, maybe a small rock or the air.

"I have to go. I'll see you around, Bo-ge," she bowed and he did the same before walking off.

Scarlett looked around before walking towards Yanjun who wasn't paying any attention. A smile made it's way onto her face as she watched him, he looked very boyfriend-esk today. Sure, he had picked her up before, but for some reason he made her heart flutter seeing him like this today.

After going to the store, Yanjun drove the two of them home and they both went straight to their rooms. It was strange to Scarlett that he didn't give her a hard time like he usually would, nor did he make a move on her, but she also appreciated it due to the fact that she was already too worked up about going to Los Angeles. But she also didn't doubt that he would try something later or maybe tomorrow if anything.

"I think that's it," she muttered to herself looking around her where she had everything laid out before she would pack it into her luggage. Her eyes skimmed the list in her hand and she nodded her head in satisfaction then began to put everything inside her ocean blue luggage that had a lock, a tag, and some stickers all over it.

The things easily fit since she didn't have many things to take, due to the fact that she knew she was going to end up buying some new things and bringing back some presents for the boys.

The last thing that she placed into the bag was her medication and her bathroom essentials. She smiled happily as she closed the luggage and placed it against the wall near the door where it could easily be taken out.

With a long sigh, she looked around her room to find it wasn't too messy so she decided to head downstairs, sure everyone had to be home by then.

"Hey, Guys," she said coming into the living room and plopping down on the couch beside Xukun who saw was on his phone typing something.

"Hey," the boys echoed.

"We're having chicken delivered since Tingting is studying for exams," Justin informed keeping his eyes on the television. "Where's Jun-ge? Did you murder him and bury him in the lawn?"

"How'd you know," she gasped clutching her heart and all their eyes seemed to land on her. "I'm kidding."

"Actually, Yanjun-ge left a while ago. He said he's not going to be back until tomorrow night," Ziyi informed everyone.

"Are you jiejie's accomplice," Chengcheng turned to look at him.

"I'm sure we would've seen Jing-ge running out of his room crying if we killed him. He would've known due to their close connection."

"I don't think he'd notice with all those snacks he was bringing up there," Linkai commented. "Supposedly he's going to be up there for a while since he's planning the family night."

"I'm surprised he even came up with it. I was sure Zhengting-ge was going to drag us into that situation," Ziyi mumbled.

"I think it's pretty cute considering the fact that we are basically a family," Scarlett commented with a small smile. She thought of the past couple months with the group and how she felt so close to them, at least closer than she got to most people.

"Yeah, we're Zhengting-ge's children," Chengcheng nodded.

"Then the dad could be-"

"Me," Xukun said locking his phone and throwing it to the side. "Team Zhengkun!"

"Actually, I'm team Yanlett," Ziyi raised his hand and Scarlett raised her eyebrow, confused.

"Correction: it's Yanlan."

"I thought we all agreed the ship name is Yanson," Nongnong shook his head at Justin who had said it was Yanlan.

"What the hell are you guys talking about," Scarlett asked and Xiao Gui paused the movie before turning on the floor just like all the others did to face her.

"We did agree it was Yanson," he stated looking to the others before looking at her. "Yanson is Yanjun and you. It's your ship name that we all voted on. Yanjun and Crimson."

"Okay, but her name isn't even Crimson and she goes by Scarlett so it should be Yanlett," Justin narrowed his eyes and held his hand out.

"But he calls her Crimson and Red, but mainly Crimson so it's Yanson," Xukun states. "Yanlett sounds like an omelette."

"Why do you even let him call you Crimson and red? He never uses your name," Chengcheng asked, but before she could answer Ziyi answered instead.

"Simple. She likes when he calls her Crimson cause she's his Crimson."

"Hey! N-No I don't. He kept using the names since I came back," she pointed out and the others nodded their heads in agreement, but Nongnong stopped.

"If you don't like it then why didn't you ask him to stop?"

"I-"

"Yeah, and why did you stutter like that," Xiao Gui asked pointing an accusing finger at the girl who felt stuck. Why were they like this now?

"I corrected him many times about it, but it stuck so there's nothing I can do about it. We're not going to get together any-"

"Sure," they all echoed making her eyebrow twitch with sudden annoyance.

"Play the movie before I really murder someone," Scarlett threaten and they immediately did what she said. Scarlett let out a sigh of relief and began to relax and just as she felt comfortable Nongnong spoke.

"Jiejie, can I call you Crim-"

"No."
