Chapter Ten

A week had passed since I've told the truth to the others. Every day, after work, we would all meet and we would elaborate a plan. It might take us a month before getting my sister, it is a long wait but it also is worth it.

Teaching others how to behave is harder than I thought. Taeo is the one having less trouble with the formality. As for Jackson, he is the worst on that side. His sentence does not have a meaning, most of the time. For the last three, well they all are too bubbly, they have too much energy that it scares every bird around. I need to learn how to be humble and calm. Wish me good luck.

"Cutie, we are here," I heard Jackson scream.

"Where have you four been?" said Taeo, beside me.

"At the mall," said Emily cheerfully.

"I got you a present cutie," added Jackson.

"You guys still are late and I will not forget that," I said annoyed.

"Oh, so you don't want it?" asked me, Jackson.

"No,"

"Okay then," he then turned to his shopping buddies before continuing his sentence.

"Looks like we have some ketchup chips for ourselves guys."

"Wait Ketchup chips! That's mine! I forgive you just give me those chips." I said while running toward him.

"I knew you'd like them," he said while taking the red-coloured bag.

"Really for a bag of chips?" said Taeo.

"What? It's Ketchup chips," I answered him while stuffing a handful of those goodies in my mouth.

Taeo just sighted and we all went to take a seat in the living room.

"So let's resume the plan," said Taeo while turning into a serious face.

***

After a while of talking about the plan, we returned to do some normal activities. I and the girls decided to do a girl night but we were planning on how asking Taeo. He really acts like our father it kinda gets on my nerve but at the same time, I also like that side of his.

"Kim, you will go ask him!" shouted Emily loudly.

I immediately came back out of my thoughts and answered her.

"Why me?"

"Because if you ask him he will say yes,"

"I totally agree with Emily," added Aria.

"And why are you both so sure about that? Huh?"

"Because-"

"Cause you are cute," Interrupted Aria with a panicked voice.

I looked at them weirdly before heading downstairs, where I guessed Taeo probably was. As I reached the bottom of the stairs I heard loud voices from the kitchen. Wondering what is happening I walked at a fast pace in the directions of the screams.

Arriving in the kitchen, I saw something traumatizing. There stood the three men, Mark laughing like a mad man, Jackson, shirtless looking at Taeo weirdly, and there was the worst, there stood Taeo only wearing a white shirt and a pair of black underwear.

"What the heck!" I screamed loudly in the house.

The three of them snapped their head in my direction, all their reactions were priceless but so was mine. Mark continued laughing, falling to his knees. Jackson started laughing too, but Taeo only looked at me, eyes wide open. In between his laugh, the shirtless man tried to explain the situation.

"We were just talking when suddenly Taeo accidentally sprayed water on my shirt. To get my revenge, I throw a glass of water at him," Jackson laughed a little before continuing his explanations.

"Since we both were sooked in the water we decided to just remove the clothing while this man right here," he said while pointing to Mark.

"Was supposed to go get us some changing clothing but just ended up laughing at us both half-naked saying that it looks like we were making out,"

I then started to laugh too finding the situation also funny.

"Mark I agree with you, maybe they are secretly dating? Who knows," I responded.

"Hey! I ain't dating that dumbass" exclaimed Taeo returning from his frozen state.

I and Mark laughed even louder at them. They both decided to ignore our laugh. The two half-naked men walked past us, with serious faces, and left to go get some fresh clothes.

After a few, we both were able to calm down. As we were all getting hungry we all met in the living room arguing over what food we should order.

"Let's get pizza!" I exclaimed loudly.

"But pizza isn't healthy! Why not some salads instead" said Aria.

"Go away with you healthy things because chicken is the best," added Mark.

Jackson was the next one to yell his idea of food.

"Why don't we just go eat at a restaurant?"

"Yeah that seems nice," said Taeo agreeing to him.

"Taeo stops agreeing with your boyfriend," said Mark teasingly.

We both started laughing loudly again while Jackson and Taeo's faces turned serious. As for the two girls, they sat there confusedly looking back and forth and me and Mark's laughing faces to the two other serious faces at the other end of the table.

"Did we missed something?" Asked Emily.

"And here we go again," said Jackson before telling the previous situation for the second time now.

That's how we ended up all laughing at the fake couple for a while before we finally all agreed to go eat at the restaurant close to the house.
