"really Hyun! " jin slammed his hand on the table they were occupying. "you lost Aphrodite! "

After learning from Chen that the older twin ran away And jehyun basically lost her, he went ballistic and was basically asking every person in the mall. Hiro wasn't able to stop him since he would snap at the Japanese. He was thankful that it was their celebrity classmate was the one who bumped and found the girl. If it was someone else, he would have been scared shitless.

"But I didn't! " jehyun defended himself. Looking at the younger male twin, he gestured to the kid to help him. "he's right jinnie. Noona suddenly ran away when I said papa didn't love us'"

"wait, papa. You saw your papa? " jin was having mixed emotions. First thing is that he's still pissed at the fact jehyun lost Aphrodite, and two he felt worried since they said that the kids saw their papa. "who was he with? "

The younger male shrugged, "I don't know but not mama"

Right. Jin expected that. His cousin's marriage is confusing even before the twins were born. Shaking his head, he dismissed the other thoughts that were swirling in his head.

Hiro on the other hand was busy scolding Aphrodite For running away. Beside him was Seojun who only gave the girl a comforting smile. He didn't want to meddle in someone else's affair. In fact, all he wanted is to spend a day in the mall with jehyun. Speaking of that, he turned his head to the lion cub who sat a seat away from him.

"say jehyun where's the best place to shop in the mall? " not that he hasn't shopped here, he just rarely comes to the establishment seeing that he had people to do it for him. And he also had his fans who might identify him.

"I don't know Seojun. I haven't been here for a month" the lion cub shrugged. He was busy cutting the chicken the child ordered. They were in this expensive all you can eat restaurant that the celebrity offered to pay. "what would the kids want? "

Seojun frowned. Today Was supposed to be him and jehyun. Jehyun and him. Not jehyun and friends with twins. He fought the urge to retort. He's an adult, not a child. He can share the lion cub, right?

"I want to buy a book" diony suddenly said, looking up from jehyun's phone. "Noona do you want to go to the porcelain shop? "

Chen was confused as to why the kid wanted to go to the porcelain shop. "why would you go to that shop? "

"to buy and break the display" Aphrodite simply said while shrugging her shoulders.

"What!? " hiro exclaimed. This got him some looks from the other people dining in the restaurant. Jin smacked his arm and scolded him.

"you guys don't have to worry about that" Jin shrugged in his seat as he picked on his food. "the kids do that if they want to release stress. They got it from their mama"

"why would.. " Seojun didn't want to question it. He's well aware that students attending Adams University are basically royalty in their city. Being heirs and heiresses of major companies.

"so can we jinnie? " diony tilted his head to the side as he looked at his uncle who was fighting the urge to say yes. Jin knew he damn if he let the kids go near any porcelain knowing that they buy the whole shop and basically break it all on the spot. "jinnie? " it was now the two of them who were looking at him with those puppy dog eyes of theirs.

Sighing in defeat, jin sadly nodded his head.

"here" Seojun gave his lion cub the bucket of popcorn he bought and carried the drinks as well as the tickets he bought for the two of them. He planned that the two of them would watch this movie that one of his superiors starred in.

"divorced couple? " jehyun read the description of the movie, nose scrunched as he realized that it was about a toxic relationship between a couple who never loved each other. "divorced in private but a couple in public"

Seojun shrugged. There weren't any other nice movies. The second one that way going to play was a kids movie and he knew his pride wouldn't allow him to watch it. "unless you like to watch a kids movie then be my guest" he then left the lion cub to follow him.

Jehyun was confused as to why the celebrity responded that way. Did he really want to watch the movie that much? If that was the case then he could have told him instead of walking like some spoilt brat. Sighing, he followed the celebrity who entered the theater.

Jehyun was not enjoying it. The movie stayed true to its description. An arguing couple that was on the verge of divorce but was held together for their public image. It made him scoff as he realized this was how most families from his school were like this.

"Why didn't she divorce him earlier" Seojun threw a piece of popcorn into his mouth before grudgingly chewing it. He was irritated how the female lead just let her husband cheat on her for five years because she's afraid to go against her family. "bull—aish! "

Jehyun flicked the back of the celebrity's head to prevent him from cursing in public. Giving the celebrity a look, he made a zipping motion in front of his mouth before pointing to the other movie watchers.

Seojun rolled his eyes. He should have called Jayden instead. At least the soloist doesn't hit him when he cusses. Taking the popcorn bucket from the lion cub's lap, he took a fist full of popcorn before shoving it in his mouth. Jehyun on the other hand cringed in disgust as the celebrity didn't care about his image whatsoever.

"did you enjoy it? " did he? Jehyun gave a poker face to the celebrity. Seojun sighed as he realized that his plan was a failure. He should have asked Jisoo to give him access to the unreleased movies the company had. "but hey at least we finally watched the movie people have been talking about"

"right " an awkward silence fell upon them. Jehyun was squinting his eyes and biting his lips as he fought the urge to shout. Seojun the other hand was having an internal conflict.

What was wrong with jehyun? Any other person would be praying to be in his place. Wait, why should he care? He's here to make the cub's life a living hell with his existence. Yes, he can't forget his original goal.

🌟

"Those two look like idiots on their first date" jin exclaimed. He together with Hiro, Chen, and the twins was watching the two from a safe distance. Hiro, who crouched beside him, clicked his tongue. "tell me about it. Jehyun looks like he wants to curse at the world while Seojun looks like a creep with that smile of his"

"aish" Chen made sure to hit the two on their heads. "don't mind those two. I don't get how the two of you are any better"

Hiro scoffed and stood up from his previous position to look at the butterfly straight in the eye. "excuse me Mr. Single but the last time I check you scared your date"

Chen gasped and dramatically placed A hand on his chest. "well at least I'm not the one who got friend-zoned "

"friend-zoned?" hiro raised a brow before gesturing to the crouching jin, "he hasn't answered me yet"

"yeah and that doesn't spell rejection" the butterfly rolled his eyes and narrowly missed the punch Hiro threw at him.

Jin on the other hand paid no attention to the two. The twins were watching something on his phone and were unbothered by the fighting. Probably used to it. Squinting his eyes to get a better look, he realized that the pair that they were stalking disappeared. "sugar honey ice tea they're gone! "

🌟

The lion cub and grizzly bear silently walked around the mall. The awkward silence still surrounding them. Jehyun would sometimes glance at the celebrity who had a weird glint in his eyes and had a creepy smile. He shuddered when the other Let out a deep chuckle.

"lion—I mean Jehyun " Seojun suddenly halted and grabbed the other's hand before spinning him. "I got one more thing for you"

Jehyun furrowed his brows at what the other said. He then let his gaze follow the celebrity who let go of his hand and was skipping away from him. "what the... "

"here" Seojun handed him a paper bag. Jehyun hesitantly accepted it and peeked at whatever was inside. "a penguin? "

"not just a penguin but Ari" Seojun said, proud as his choice of plushie he had his bodyguard buy for him. He was met with a puzzled lion cub. "my animal character"

"I thought you were a bear" jehyun looked a the penguin inside the bag then at the celebrity. He did that twice, trying to find any resemblance between the two.

"a bear? " everyone from the company told him he looked like a penguin. "why would I—"you know what, nevermind "

Jehyun sighed and thanked the celebrity. "I don't get what's happening to you but I'm thankful" he nonchalantly shrugged his shoulder. "I enjoyed today"

"really" Seojun wasn't that convinced. They only spent half the day instead of a whole day. "but—"

"I did really. I don't know if this is your first time going to a mall with a friend but I like your efforts" jehyun wasn't lying. He was happy that the celebrity was making an effort to live a normal life. "congrats"

Seojun stood there silently cooing as he watched jehyun blabbered compliments and things he liked about their time at the mall. It made him feel proud that he was able to make jehyun happy. Maybe next time he can take jehyun's group to his company's resort. "yeah it ain't that much"

Jehyun watched as the celebrity was now rambling how much of a genius he was in planning this in one night. It made him heave a sigh as he watched the celebrity started suggesting things they could do next time.
