Taeyong returned to Seoul on Thursday Korea's time. He arrived early in the morning.
"Jennie,i'm home!!" He told. "But wait she must be at school by now!" Taeyong said as he looked at his phone's clock showing the current time is 10:45 a.m.
"Nevermind. I'll just go meet her after school today!" Taeyong said as he took a nap through the morning,ignoring the jet-lagged he was having.

Their school ended at 4 in the evening. Taeyong drove to their school just to wait for Jennie. Their conversations when he was in Rome made he liked her without him knowing the feelings would grow.
Johnny spotted Taeyong's car and dragged their friends along. Johnny knocked on his car window. Taeyong got out from his car.
"Bro we missed you!" Johnny said and bro-hugged Taeyong. Followed by Ten and Jaehyun.
"Are you waiting for us?" Jaehyun asked. Taeyong scoffed. "Nah. I want to meet someone else" he told.
The guys stared at each other.
"Ah it's Jennie!!" Ten told. The guys laughed. "Wow you guys are dating now?" Johnny asked. Not long after,they saw Yuta walking with Jisoo,Jennie,Rosè and Lisa.
Jennie's eyes widened when she saw Taeyong. "Speak of the devil" Ten said,referring to Yuta. Yuta hit Ten's arm.
"Taeyong,you are back!!" Yuta said and patted his shoulder. Taeyong smiled but his eyes were on Jennie.
Jaehyun was clinging onto Rosè at the back. Jennie smiled when she saw him.
"Oh,you are not looking at me i see ya!" Yuta grunted and turned to look at Jennie. Taeyong scoffed.
"We are going to my house. You want to follow along?" Yuta asked. Taeyong nodded. "Yeah let's go. You guys drove here as usual right?" Taeyong asked. They all nodded. "So,Jennie let's go with me!" Taeyong said cheerfully. Jennie just chuckled and nodded.

"How was Rome? Was it good?" Jennie asked. "It was so nice!! I like going there! I should go travel Italy next time!" Taeyong told. "Wah i wish i could travel as well" Jennie said.
"You could,Jennie. And it'd be nice if we travel along with our friends!!" Taeyong said. Jennie's eyes widened.
"Wow that'd be awesome as heck!" She said excitedly. Taeyong smiled as she agreed on his suggestion.
His car was behind Jaehyun's car.
But they stopped at a nearby cafe. So Taeyong stopped his car too.
"Eh why?" Jennie asked. "Jaehyun stopped his car maybe he wants to buy something?" Taeyong guessed.
Then,Rosè came out of Jaehyun's car. She went to buy pastries for all of them. Jennie looked at Rosè entering the shop.
"Jaehyun always tell me he is so lucky to have Chaeyoung in his life. He even said his life got better with her. I really want to experience things like that" Taeyong said. Jennie looked at him and chuckled. "I thought girls love to do that but it feels really special if the guys do it" Jennie stated out her opinions. Taeyong nodded,agreeing with her. "Go find yourself a girlfriend then,Taeyong. There are many girls waiting for you" Jennie said.
Taeyong laughed. "They want me because of my looks. How do i stay?" He said. "Hm! Then you should find someone you like" Jennie said. He laughed. 

"Maybe she will come later?" he joked and caused Jennie to laugh.

They arrived at Yuta's apartment. After parked their cars,they went upstairs.
Taeyong and Jennie together with Jaehyun and Chaeyoung.
They had a small talk in the elevator while going up.
"You guys look cute. I know i have said this for several times but i like to look at you guys" Jaehyun said. Which made Chaeyoung to chuckle. Taeyong scoffed. "What else do you want to say man? We are nothing more than friends okay" Taeyong said and Jennie nodded.
"We were friends too" Chaeyoung said and looked at Jaehyun.
Jennie scoffed. "Um no no" she said.

"What are the plans for today guys?" Yuta asked his friends.
"We need to celebrate Taeyong's return!!" Johnny said. Ten looked at Johnny with a weird stare.
"He's been away for like 3 days?!" Ten said. Johnny laughed.
"Let's eat! Order food!" Jaehyun yelled. Rosè slapped his thighs.
"You are being so loud,baby" Rosè said. And all of them wow-ed the both of them. "Argh my ears!!" Ten squealed  and covered his ears with his hands.
Jaehyun hit Ten lightly because of his mischievous behaviour.
"Taeyong,Jennie,go out and buy food for all of us please? You guys can date too" Johnny said. Taeyong's jaw dropped. "Tf man?! I just came back?!" He grunted.
"It's okay Taeyong. Let's go buy food for these starving kids"Jennie said and took out her purse inside her school bag.

Taeyong nodded awkwardly before following her. Their friends laughed seeing both of them leaving.

"Ey they like to make us do this" Taeyong complained. Jennie chuckled.
"We gotta appreciate them because this is our final year at school" She said. Taeyong laughed.

They stopped at McDonalds drive thru to buy the food for the starving kids.
And fortunately they know their friends' favourite set.

"By the way Jennie,i have something to give you. Originally from Rome!" Taeyong told. He took something from the back seat.
It was a gift box. "Open that" Taeyong said. Jennie opened the box and found a very pretty blazer.
"Chanel? You serious Taeyong?!" Jennie asked in disbelief. Taeyong chuckled as he nodded.
"Italy is the city of fashion right? There are many beautiful things over there. But this bag attracted my attention" Taeyong told.
"I don't have any close girl friends so i thought of giving this to you. I also have gifts for the others too" He added.
"But this is too much,Taeyong. However,thank you so much!" Jennie said. Taeyong smiled and said welcome.

"What made you guys so long?" Yuta asked the moment he opened the door for the both of them.
"The drive thru was packed" Taeyong told. It's the truth . "Really?" Yuta asked,not believing him.
Taeyong sighed. "It's true bro" he said.
Jennie chuckled and brought the food inside.

"Guys,i have souvenirs for you guys!" Taeyong said. All of them looked at him with anticipation. Taeyong took out from the paper bag he brought.
One of them received the same Rome's tshirt with their names on it. The material is a high quality cotton.
"Wow this looks expensive!" Ten said as he was observing the shirt. Taeyong laughed. He even bought one for himself and Jennie.
"Thank you Taeyong!" All of them thanked him at the same time. Taeyong just smiled and made eye contact with Jennie.

"Tell us more about Rome!!" They requested. Taeyong cleared his throat before starting.

"Rome was very nice. There are many historical places there. The sea was so nice and very blue. The food there em..yea you know italy..pasta and stuffs but it was really good you know! And!! There are many branded shops too" Taeyong told. All of them nodded as they imagined what Taeyong told them. "That's so much fun! We wish we could go there!" They said.
"Okay guys how about this! How about we go to somewhere for our summer break? How does it sound?" Johnny asked. As expected,they showed a very positive reaction.
"To where?!" Jisoo asked. "Calm down baby" Yuta said to Jisoo. Jisoo glared at him before saying,"stop calling me baby!!"
"If it's summer then,should we go to LA?!" Johnny asked. All of them squealed in excitement. "LA!! Wow we really should go to LA!" Jaehyun said,agreeing with Johnny.
Taeyong chuckled. "So LA is it?" Taeyong asked. All of them nodded.
"Okay summer break is around the corner and we really need to plan things thoroughly if we want it to happen" He said. "Now i want papers and pen" Taeyong said. Yuta gave him the papers and pen.
"My parents wouldnt mind giving money. Anyone here having this problem?" Yuta asked. All of them shook their head. Well all of them are from a rich family.
They started on searching the flight fares and hotel fares.
All of them set the dates for their summer holiday.
"I hope this will be a great success. So now we just need the money to book this flight" Yuta said.
"That can be solved by next week i guess so is everyone okay?" Jaehyun asked. Everyone nodded.

As usual,Taeyong will be the one who sends Jennie home.
"I hope you can join us" Taeyong said. Jennie chuckled. "Sure. I'll make sure i can join you guys to LA" she said.
Taeyong laughed. "Alright. Bye Jen" he said and bid her goodbye.
Jennie waved him goodbye before going inside her house.
