After Jennie arrived at her apartment, she gently kept her heavy bag on the bed with a relieved sigh, feeling the weight of the day lift off her shoulders. The shopping basket, filled with the items for the model making, she carefully placed it down, the clinking of the materials inside echoing in the room.

As she settled onto the bed, a wave of relief enveloped her, a small smile on her lips as her eyes scanned over the materials in front of her. The colours and textures creating a sense of excitement within her, igniting her imagination.

She reached for her comfy clothes and towel, ready to freshen up after a long day, a thought crept into her mind, causing a moment of irritation for her. With a heavy sigh, she paused, feeling the weight of the day's event.

The decision of them to work together lingered in her mind, battling against the reality of their indecision on how to collaborate. Emotions swirling within her was like a storm, a mix of confusion, frustration and uncertainty. She stood there, her furrowed eyebrows and clenched fists.

She made a decision to let it go for now. Taking a deep breath, she went to the washroom.

The moment of being scolded for their silly actions lingered in his mind as Taehyung lay on the bed, trying to relax after finishing his important tasks. Mentally, he couldn't help but blame Jennie for that.

He spread on the bed, his gaze shifted to the table. Despite the mess, he felt too lazy to tidy it up. All he wanted was some relaxation after a long day, especially after spending one hour with her, leaving him exhausted. 

As he thought where to work with Jennie, he realised his mind was not clear. Maybe reaching out to his seniors for advice on a calm spot would be better. The hum of the fan and the warmth of setting sun rays falling through the window enveloped him in a sense of relaxation. With his eyes closed, he felt the warmth, feeling as if he was being engulfed in a hug, as if his loved ones were there with him, offering love and comfort despite the distance.

Adjusting to life abroad was challenging, but he was managing it well. He found a sense of comfort in this current surroundings.

The next day dawned, and Jennie was dressed for her day at the university. Thoughts of what the day might bring lingered through her mind.

As she stared at her reflection in the mirror, her tired face stared back at her. The puffiness under her eyes were obvious of the dedication she was putting into her academics.

She reached for her perfume, a floral scent filled the air. She splashed onto her top, the aroma lingered, a reminder of her attention she took in preparing for the day ahead.

She went to her small kitchen counter, her eyes roamed around, searching for something to eat before heading out in just half an hour. With a bit of urgency, she scanned the available options.

Taehyung felt like it would be a tiring day for him. He thought of spotting his friends on campus, to catch up with them and share some laughs before going to the classes.

As he wandered through the corridors, the anticipation grew with each turn, the chatters going louder. Then, a burst of laughter filled the air and his friends came to his sight, chatting with their seniors.

His heart warmed at the sight of them enjoying themselves. He couldn't resist joining them. With a cheerful shout and waving his hand, he made his way towards them. He received loving pats on his back which filled him with a sense of happiness.

8:45 am.

Jennie was chatting and laughing with Jisoo while waiting for her class to start. Suddenly, a thought striked her mind. Jisoo, noticing her sudden change in expression, couldn't help but ask.

"What's wrong?" She asked Jennie, placing a hand on her shoulder.

Jennie glanced at her and then replied with a shrug, "Jisoo, can you suggest me a good spot so that I can work peacefully with that guy?"

She looked at her with a blank expression after hearing the word "that guy". Though she understood whom was she talking about.

Jisoo shook her head, letting out a heavy sigh. Frustrated with the girl standing before her.

"I think it's best for both of you to figure it out together. If I suggest a place, he might not be fond of it, and then you would end up causing a chaos again."

She tried to sound gentle, handling the situation to prevent any conflicts.

As soon as Jennie started talking, Jisoo cut her off, saying, "See, you both are mature enough to figure it out yourselves."

It was a good opportunity for them to come to a decision together.

The bell rang loudly, making the students rush back to their classes to avoid being late. Their university always focuses on the importance of punctuality.

Jisoo and Jennie started walking, they reached a corridor filled with laughter. She couldn't help but think who they were. Shouldn't they head back to class since the bell has already rung?

Taehyung's eyes landed on a familiar face, coming towards them. A mischievous smile formed on his lips as he couldn't resist the urge to tease her a little. As Jennie walked past, unaware of his presence in the group, Taehyung stuck his foot out.

The sound of her stumbling and gasp echoed, creating a moment of surprise. Jennie's heart started beating rapidly, a mix of surprise and confusion. As Jisoo steadied her, a mix of embarrassment and amusement was visible in her expression.

Jennie looked up slowly, her gaze burning with rage, she realised it was Taehyung who had played the prank on her. He stood there, staring at her with a mischievous smirk, adding fuel to her anger.

As their friends looked at them with wide eyes, sensing the building tension between them, it seemed like something bad was about to happen at the moment. Namjoon stepped in, pulling Taehyung away from the situation, but they halted in their places when a shrill voice stopped them.

Jennie moved closer to him, she grabbed the rolled up sleeve of his shirt and shouted, "What were you thinking, pulling a prank like that? Do you have any idea how embarrassing that was?"

She was not holding back in expressing her anger and frustration.

Taehyung looked at the fire in her eyes and shouted back, "What's the need to be this angry? Try to control your anger, or end up with another detention!" He then strode off to his class with his shocked friends, leaving the girls feeling helpless and in the middle of the intense situation.

Jisoo glanced over to Jennie, noticing how irritated she was getting with him. It seemed like a worse situation to handle, not knowing how to fix the tension between them.

Communication is key in situations like this, so maybe a heart to heart conversation could help things to get better.

Jisoo came out of her thoughts when she glanced at her phone. Oh shit! 9:05 am.

Jennie finally looked at Jisoo who was having a confused expression on her face. Before she could ask her the reason behind it, she was pulled by Jisoo who was frantically shouting that they were late.

—

Jisoo quickly bid her bye to Jennie while both of them proceeded to their classes. Jennie was anxious due to being late, and all because of the drama that happened a few minutes ago.

She stared at the door before gathering courage and opening it.

She was surprised as she peeped inside. There was no one except a few students. With a sigh of relief, she went inside, and met with an irritating presence of Taehyung.

She went to her seat and settled down. Glancing over at her rival, she saw him staring outside.

With a gentle nudge, she pulled him out his trance and asked, "Have you decided on a place to work?"

It was an attempt of her to shift his focus to something productive.

Taehyung flinched and shifted his attention towards the touch. He then noticed Jennie, her savage expression adding more tension.

He kept quiet for a minute before Jennie spoke, "I hope we can find a way to talk things."

But taehyung seemed unbothered by her words and just spoke out, "I have not decided so let's work at your place."

The revelation left Jennie staring at him in shock. He agreed right away and even suggested working at her place. Having different preferences to where they wanted to work together, it was a tricky situation for Jennie.

Jennie shook her head in disbelief, her eyes wide, and protested, "But why at my place only?" Her confusion and frustration was obvious as she tried to make sense of his sudden decision.

Taehyung suddenly stood up, as he declared, "That's final. Send me the address of your place by the end of the day." His words left her feeling a mix of emotions and thoughts.
