"what!? "
jin made sure to slap Chen's big mouth shut before gesturing to his niece and nephew who were sleeping on his bed.
"Did that really happen, Hyun? ``Hiro asked, looking up from staring at the fraternal twins.
a few hours prior, Jin was peacefully taking care of his niece and nephew with the help of Hiro since the Japanese somewhat found a way to sneak into his house. The two were happily watching the twins play on Jin's bed before his phone rang and Jehyun suddenly announced an emergency group meeting at his house. The two didn't need to wait that long since Chen was the first to arrive, carrying a bag full of beer and chips with him. Obviously the sight of liquor is something Jin didn't want the twins to see, needless to say, the twins had to sleep earlier than promised.
Jehyun nodded his head before letting out a wail only to be shushed by the Japanese who looked at him with threatening eyes and pointed at the girl who shifted in her sleep.
"hey, jin why are you taking care of the twins again?" Joshua asked. Their group was used to seeing Jin taking care of the twins.
jin shrugged and opened a can of beer. "My cousin and her husband are fighting again. She doesn't want the kids to hear so she sent them here." Jin downed the drink Before speaking again, "this wouldn't happen again actually. Once she gives birth to her triplets, she would sign the divorce papers and move away with her kids. "
"Does that mean you'll leave as well? " hiro asked his best friend who shook his head. "I wish but my cousin said that she can manage on her own and that she wouldn't be completely alone since her best friend would be coming with her "
The group stayed listen after Jin spoke. they felt bad for the twins that were sleeping since they had to experience that at such a young age.
shaking his head, Chen realized something. "Jin what are their names again? "
"the girl is Aphrodite and the boy is Dionysus "
"gods huh" Hiro snorted.
"what do you expect? " jin scoffed. "their dad has a Greek god as a name"
"guys! ``Jehyun wailed from where he sat. He was disappointed that his friends forgot the reason why they were here in the first place. "what am I going to do? I'm going to be in so much trouble "
hiro shrugged. "I don't know. run—argh! " he howled in pain as Jin smacked him in the arm. "or not"
jin turned to his distressed friend. "just say sorry and tell him you didn't mean it. I mean it's only the second day and he already sprouted weird remarks so it's only understandable that you slapped him"
chen cooed at jin's attempt before getting closer to the half-Chinese to pinch his cheeks. This earned a whine from Jin and a growl from Hiro. "you're so cute Jin! and calm ya tits Hiro"
Jehyun sadly watched his friends divert the topic once more. hiro was complaining how jin's cheeks were only his. This of course got an opposition from Chen who said that Jin's cheeks were a free rental estate. Jin on the other hand didn't have a say since he couldn't speak because of the two who were now pinching both of his cheeks on either side.
"you ok Hyun? Joshua asked, being the only person who actually paid attention. He watched as Jehyun could only nod. breaking out a small smile, he pulled his friend to a hug and watched his friends now brawl. he would sometimes glance at the sleeping twins, thankful that they were heavy sleepers.

Jehyun made sure to avoid the celebrity the next day. He would be the last one to arrive in class and be the first one to bolt out. This caused a lot of wonder from his classmates since he's the type to stay longer to help the teacher. He also kept on fidgeting in his seat and would constantly glance at the clock. He also didn't go to school with his friends which made his classmates curious.
and that was the reason why the majority of his classmates silently trailed behind him wherever he went. they even followed him until the library where he usually spent his free period.
Jehyun sighed and closed the book he was reading. After successfully avoiding the celebrity, he could finally breathe properly since he knew the celebrity didn't have free period like him and was stuck helping the teachers or doing basketball practice.
"wah~Lee Jehyun how long are you going to stall" he placed a hand over his heart that was rapidly beating. "Why are you beating so fast? "
the students eavesdropping looked at each other in confusion. Why was their perfect class representative talking to himself?
"is it because of him? aish! " Jehyun ruffled his hair and lowered his head before letting out a loud wail. He ignored the warning look that the librarian gave him. He can apologize to her later. He suddenly raised his head before dropping it with a groan. "aish what's wrong with me!? "
the students flinched, some cringing at the sight of their class rep. banging his head onto the table and mumbling inaudible words.
"is he ok? "
"must be because of the quiz"
"Wait, we had a quiz? "
"We did? I just copied from you"
"I copied from you as well"
The students watched him bang his head for a good ten minutes before stumbling backward in surprise as they watched the class rep suddenly stand up and sauntered his way out of the library.
"what's with him? "
"you think banging his head did him good? "
"obviously. why do think he suddenly got up"
"Should we follow him? "
"definitely "
Jehyun pushed past the busybodies of Adams university to make his way to the schoolyard where the basketball team was doing laps with the trackers of their school.
"make way Please! "

"you did a good job today Kim"
Seojun turned to the basketball coach who praised him for practice. as surprising as it is, he got in despite entering at the middle of the school year.
"he sure did coach! did you see his shot" Seojun recognized Hiro who entered the locker room to grab his bag. "hey Seojun want to hang later? "
"su—"Hey Seojun someone's looking for you! "
This earned some teasing from the team as they were asking who the lucky girl is. They even followed him out of the locker room to meet the brave girl.
"I wonder who she is? "
"is she one of the cheers? "
"maybe. hey, Seojun you should introduce us to—jehyun? ``Hiro stopped his teasing as he saw his friend, who had a big red bruise on his forehead, suddenly drag the celebrity away from them. "why is he? "he turned to look at his teammates who shrugged. shaking his head, he let out a breath. "well that was something. anyway I better go to my beloved jin"
This earned a chorus of shouts from his teammates. it was not his turn to be teased. Of course, it didn't bother him. the school practically knows that he only has eyes on a certain half-Chinese who happens to be his best friend.
