JJ knew you were Brazilian, he had noticed for some time that you were feeling a little sad, probably missing Brazil. JJ tried everything to try to cheer you up a little, with his usual antics, but all he got was a weak smile from you. He was researching things about your culture so he could spend more time with you, after all he was your boyfriend and he wanted you to feel good in his country.
So he came up with a plan with John B. Kiara, that he had to give JJ the kitchen of her parents' restaurant to make whatever he wanted, JJ had help from John B with the food while Pope gave him the recipe instructions.
"Come on, Babe!" JJ pulled you along with him, practically forcing you to run with him towards John B's house, he had to wait for everyone in the group to find something to do because he was going to stay at his friend's house for the rest of the day with you.
You didn't understand why he was pulling you into the kitchen until you saw him taking something out of the fridge... he was holding a glass dish in his hand with a huge smile on his face.
"I made passion fruit pavé... is that how you call it?" He said shyly, but also excitedly, wanting to see you smile at the sweet treat he had made. JJ had planned to spend the day with you eating things that were Brazilian recipes... and that he could try to make too.
