❝I don't get why you're bringing me to this❞ Jehyun pulled his arm that was being used to drag him to the concert arena. he still doesn't know if his so called plan worked but he was praying. he also hoped that wasn't to late.

jin who was walking behind him could only smile cheekily. last night, he was contacted by Junghoon who told him everything. of course he told Joshua and Hiro. he didn't tell everything to Chen since the butterfly would spoil the surprise.

❝oh come on Hyun. do you know how hard it took to get these vip tickets?❞ hiro feigned a look of hurt . it was definitely hard to get those tickets

with the family concert only happening once a year and it featuring the first stage performances of some idols and actors. not only that but was the only event that the founder would be seen parcipating.

❝I don't get how all of you are acting like we aren't rich❞ shaking his head, he let himself be dragged by Chen and Joshua to their seats which was near the stage. he also let them shove him to his seat. ❝why are we here so early anyway? it's still 3 and the concert starts at five❞

❝there's a thing called first come first serve❞ Chen reasoned out sarcastically but quickly changed as he face and gripped the younger's arm. ❝isn't it exciting? ❞

❝Chen, we host private parties with these celebrities each year. how are you excited? ❞ he rolled his eyes and pouted. ❝I just want to go home and mope about the fact me and Seojun aren't going to be together. and why did my mom even agree to me be dragged by you guys❞

Chen rolled his eyes and held back his temper. he had to patient since his best friend had no idea for what was to come. not only that but he promised his mom's best friend that jehyun wouldn't get into any sort of trouble or else it would be her men he would face. and the thought of it made him shiver.

❝oh come on Hyun, it's not like this doesn't have any hidden intention❞Joshua ended up choking after what he said. he also received hard glares from his friend and a bored one from Jehyun.

❝I'm going to ignore what you said josh since I'm not in the mood to think❞ looking st the stage, Jehyun could only long for his grizzly bear more. he placed a hand on his cheek. ❝heavens I'm an idiot❞

❝glad to know you know❞ hiro said which earned him a smack from Jin. ❝what? I'm not lying though❞

❝I don't think you can do this❞ Jayden huffed crossing his arms over his chest. Junghoon who stood beside him while carrying his(Jay's) guitar didn't hesitate to use it to hit him on his stomach.

❝let the kid be Jay. don't tell me you're thinking of letting him wait for three years❞ Junghoon snarled, threatening to hit him again with the guitar. Jayden decided to keep his mouth shut. being hit by a guitar on your stomach is not the most pleasant thing to experience. ❝that's what I thought❞

the two then turned their attention to the person they were talking about who was sitting on one of the stools the staff provided backstage. he had a deep frown on his face and was in deep thought.

Seojun was nervous to say the least. his plan could backfire quickly, not only that but he couldn't asure himself that he would get a sweet yes from his lion cub. although Jay and Junghoon were there to encourage him, he couldn't shake of the feeling of doubt.

❝I do think I can do it❞

flinching from where they stood, the two lovers eyed each other. Junghoon was silently telling Jay to step in and help while Jayden was asking why it was him. the two would have stayed that way until the concert would start if it weren't for Junghoon raising the guitar to scare of Jay.

❝don't think that way Jun. in fact, ignore what I said before and go for it. don't be like me who waited three years to fix things❞ it damaged his pride but Jayden didn't have a choice as his lover was having an intimidated look. ❝true love only comes once Jun. don't let it slip. ❞

❝how do you know it is true love? ❞ Seojun asked the two.

Junghoon smiled before clapping his hands to get their attention. ❝that's easy Jun. as my noona say, if your not sure if you're in love then think of this. if you like someone, you're ready to let them go but if you LOVE someone, it scares you to let them go or let them leave. so Jun, I want to ask you, do you want Jehyun to leave? ❞

❝what? of course not! ❞ Seojun exclaimed in anger, ❝I cant even think of functioning while being away from him, what more if he leaves❞

Junghoon smiled proudly and started nodding his head. ❝then there's your answer Jun, you LOVE jehyun❞

🌟

❝look it's Jayden! ❞

having his best friend turn his head and hold his head to look at the stage, Jehyun wanted to groan in sadness as he watched their friend go up on stage and started to perform. somewhere along the performance, he was able to turn his head and saw Junghoon peeking out of the curtain and his the backstage while cheering. the older looked stupid to say the least. the older was also alone, Seojun no where in sight. this made him feeling more dread than he did before the concert started.

to give you a quick view, it's already six in the evening and very one was partying or simply jamming to the concert. his friends looked like they were forced to be here(which they were). Jin looked like his having fun but you could see the pain in his eyes and he jumps to the beat, hiro was just nodding his his head but it was obvious he was about to go to sleep, Joshua looked so dazed that he wasn't even blinking(creepy), but Chen, oh he's the one genuinely enjoying. jumping from his place and screaming the wrong lyrics at the top of his lungs.

❝Chen can you stop jumping around❞ Joshua had a hand on his mouth, holding himself from gagging and also embarrassing himself. ❝I'm getting dizzy❞

Chen stopped jumping and snarled, throwing a punch on Joshua's shoulder. ❝oh quit being a prince and prepare it's almost the finale❞

❝finale? ❞ Jehyun turned to his best friend. ❝but it just started❞

chen snickered, nudging Joshua who was now getting dizzy with all the lights flashing with Jayden's performance. ❝for you actually❞

❝for me? ❞ pointing at himself, Jehyun waited for his best friend to continue but got none as the older started jumping once more. this made him come to one conclusion. ❝heavens I'm going to be embarrassed tonight❞

❝alright everyone! ❞ Jayden pulled off one of his ear monitors. sweat was heavily dropping down his figure which made him itch to get a new pair of clothes. he held the mic that was on a mic stand. ❝this has been the talk of the town❞ he glanced at the sidelines where he saw Seojun wait for him and Junghoon who was giving thumbs up at him. ❝and guess what? it's true! so help me welcome KIM SEOJUN! ❞

Jehyun could only feel numbness as he watched Seojun walk to the center of the stage with a handheld mic. he watched as the celebrity did a fist bump with his best friend before going to his position.

and to tell you the truth, he was blown away as how smooth the celebrity would dance and how hot it was he sang. maybe it's the clothes and makeup or it was the fact that he was attracted to the older physical and personality wise.

Chen who stopped jumping around to take a break and glanced at jehyun before showing a teasing smile and hitting Jin's arm to get his attention. the other Chinese raised his eye brows before looking at what Chen was gesturing with his eyes. seeing it, he smiled the same way Chen did before nudging his lover. Joshua who sat in the middle was last to catch on but once he did, he couldn't help but snicker.

Chen decided that it was good time to mess with his best friend. so with his shoulder on jehyun's shoulder, he pushed his weight and started staring at his nails. ❝what was is it you said about bring you here? ❞

Jehyun snapped out of his previous session of administration, shook his head before using his free arm to push the butterfly. ❝oh shut it. I don't get why you brought me to a place to see my ex❞

❝but you could have left before the concert started. no one was stopping you unless... ❞ Chen leaned closer to Jehyun and started wiggling his eyebrows. ❝you didn't want to❞

Jehyun snorted, pushing chen's face away from him and crossing his arms. ❝you made me feel guilty about buying vip tickets❞

❝Hyun, that money is nothing to us. the biggest thing we could spend would be 1 billion❞ Chen said in a matter of fact tone. ❝so you do want to see him❞

❝chen❞ he sighed, bringing his arms to his sides, ❝we don't know if he and that bitch is still dating❞

❝oh please they're off❞ rolling his eyes, Chen wanted to burst out the truth but stopped himself as he saw Seojun glare at him. jealous prick. probably jealous that I can be close to his lion cub while he can't. sucks to be him.

❝you can stop cursing at Seojun now❞ Jehyun flicked Chen in his forehead. ❝you look like an idiot❞

❝but you love this idiot❞ Chen placed a hand on his chest as if he was feeling dramatic.

this made Jehyun sigh, ❝sadly I do❞

❝alright everyone❞ Jayden glanced at Seojun who gave him a nod before looking back at the crowd. ❝I've—well more like Seojun got an announcement❞ murmurs were heard in the arena as everyone grew curious. ❝and I want you to promise to not give violent reactions. in fact, if you don't like it then leave❞

❝what the duck is he doing? ❞ Junghoon looked at his lover who was stirring up a storm with the audience.

"that's what I was about to ask you hoon"

turning around, Junghoon caught the sight of his older brother and noona? the only problem was he didn't know which noona this was.

❝it's me Junghoon, your lianne noona❞

❝oh noona number two❞ he smiled brightly at her before going and giving her a tight hug. ❝where's noona number one❞

his brother clicked his tongue. ❝rude child. how can you call your own cousin who raised you like that? ❞

❝I don't see how hiding the fact you got someone pregnant and not taking a responsibility not being rude❞ Junghoon shot back and showed his tongue. his brother threatened to hit him but had to halt as their noona was showing a threatening smile.

Jeonghoon faked a cough as he fixed his suit. ❝what's with your uh—boyfriend? what is he and kim planning now? ❞ he knew Junghoon was in a relationship with the soloist after a night full of sermon from his two noonas.

❝Kim is planning on announcing his relationship with Jehyun tonight❞

❝what!? ❞

Jehyun swore he heard someone scream 'what' but chose to ignore it as everyone like him had their attention at Seojun who stood beside Jayden. turning to Chen to ask a question, he immediately regret it as his best friend with the rest of his friends were looking at him with a creepy smile.

❝should I be worried? ❞ yes and no.

Chen swatted away the concern and threw a hand over his shoulder. ❝don't worry my friend because tonight is going to the best night of your life❞

yup, he's definitely worried.

❝uh... hello everyone❞ Seojun sheepily greeted which earned uproar from the audience but not from his lion cub. this made him frown. maybe he got it all wrong. ❝so about what Jayden said, yes I do have an announcement and I was wondering on how you would react. and before you all get any wild ideas, no I'm not leaving C9 entertainment. this just concerns my personal life❞ he took a deep breath. this was going to be a long explanation. ❝if you remember a couple of months ago, I was sent to a school for my actions. at first I was annoyed but when I met a special someone, it changed me. and you would laugh at how I quickly shifted after our first meeting. well, first official meeting. god I hate how we first met❞

jehyun felt a nudge and turned to Chen who smiled at him teasingly. ❝what? ❞

Chen pouted. he doesn't know if his friend was being sarcastic or dumb.

❝when I learned I would be spending time with him, I wanted to make his life a living hell like literally and somehow I did. hah.. I hate myself right now. especially when we ended up running away. but to cut the story short, I fell in love with him. asked him to be my boyfriend and he said yes but.... i guess not every relationship is perfect. someone had to come in between. and that someone just happened to be this idiot's future brother-in-law❞ Seojun pointed his thumb at his best friend who snarled. he knew he pissed the older off and that made him satisfied. what he didn't know what the person who came in between being held back by his noona by the ear. ❝but other than that. there were also other things that came into the way. I admit I was coward for not fighting and that's why I'm here tonight. here in front of you to tell you this. i-I plan on going back to him. yes him and if you have a problem then I'm sorry ❞ he heard the audience gasp, ❝and if it comes to that, I would leave the entertainment industry for both of our safety and for the future. I don't want to work in a place that would look at him and me with the dirty eye just because of my choice on who I love. I won't tolerate any extreme hate comments. those who are caught will immediately sued❞

❝he really thought about this huh❞ lianne showed a proud smile. she turned to the younger Choi who nod his head. ❝I know, I'm proud❞

❝and I'm dead because of him❞ hearing this, lianne didn't hesitate to pinch the ear she was holding earlier harder. ❝ouch! noona! ❞

❝I want to share to you how much I love him. I love him so much that I'm afraid to lose him. just being away from him made me feel anxious. what more if he left forever. so, I want to ask Lee Jehyun, will you be my boyfriend again? and I'll make sure that no chicken would come between us ever again❞ walking to the vip area that he knew Jehyun was at, Seojun then went to his knees on the edge of the stage that separated him and Jehyun. ❝Jehyun, will you be my one and only lion cub? ❞

Jehyun heard everything. hell he couldn't express what he was feeling. shock? yes. confuse? of course. fear? definitely. he couldn't believe what Seojun announced.

Chen who would look between his best friend and the celebrity who was kneeling for a good minute decided to step in the nudge the younger. ❝you should answer. it's a simple yes or no❞

Jehyun who's emotions were still a mess glared at him. God he just wanted to think before answering. then again, what was there to think? of course he would say yes.

❝lion cub? ❞

❝what if I were to say no? ❞ Jehyun swore he heard the entire arena gasp. damn was his voice that loud.

❝then I guess I would wait and try again. I won't lose you ever again Hyun ❞ Seojun said With a sad smile and started to get up. ❝I'll try harder next time❞

❝what if there's no next time? ❞.

❝remind me to shoot an arrow on Jehyun the moment we step into school on monday❞ Chen grumbled angrily as he walked beside the newly reconciled couple who were holding hands. ❝I can't believe I almost thought he would say no❞

❝what do you mean by that lion cub? ❞

Jehyun chuckled, ❝I'm saying yes you grizzly bear❞

Seojun had his mouth open as his lion cub sent a flying kiss after. he felt his heart do splits while his brain lagged. jehyun's friends were feeling the same. they didn't know whether to be happy that the couple got together again or angry that their youngest made them think he would say no.

❝what are standing there grizzly bear? you still got a show to contin—ouch Chen! ❞ Jehyun glared at his best friend who smacked him at the back of his head. the said friend was fumming as he raised his fist to hit him again.

❝the duck Jehyun!? you made me think you would say no! ❞ Chen snarled, hitting the younger by the shoulder. ❝you got me worried❞

❝why would I say no? my true love is standing in front of me❞ quite literal actually because when he turned to look back at the stage, Seojun was already in front of him and towering over his short figure. he nervously chuckled as he watched his grizzly bear look at him like he wanted to murder him. ❝hey there seojun❞

the said male didnt reply, instead he raised one hand up. Jehyun expected to be smacked but was caught off guard as that hand went behind his head and pushed him to Seojun'S chest. he was also caught of guard at the fact that the celebrity was crying.

❝I thought I almost lost you❞ Seojun said between sniffles. ❝God you worry me sometime lion cub❞

❝but what's more unbelievable was the fact that Seojun announced it in the family concert❞ Jin said from hiro's back as he was being carried by the said lover. ❝I wonder how my cousin would react❞

❝this is her idea actually❞

❝really!? ❞ Jin who was surprised at the statement ended up tightly gripping hiro's hair that he previously playing with. the Japanese could not complain as he was the one who agreed on letting his lover play his hair ❝she's not mad? ❞

❝she's madder with Junghoon's brother actually. she was pretty chill with it. in fact, she ended up sermoning the ceo over FaceTime. ❞

❝of course she would❞ that was so like her. scolding her juniors over the phone. ❝but how about niommi❞

❝they're going to announce the entire truth tomorrow❞ Seojun hummed Before bringing the hand of his lion cub and kissing it. ❝so you don't need to worry about a thing❞

❝and how about the public's reaction? ❞ hiro was genuinely worried about his two friend's future.

❝they actually reacted positively❞ Chen answered for the celebrity, waving his phone that was on chipper. ❝it's trending. even Jehyun is trending and omg! ❞

the group suddenly halted as they gathered near Chen to check why the butterfly suddenly shouted.

❝they're complimenting Hyun with his visuals and asking if he's a model. on of them even chipped about him looking like the famous trainee Lee jaehyung. They look like brothers❞ Chen smiled proudly. ❝and here I thought Jehyun would never be trending❞

❝of course me and jehyun would look the same, he's my brother❞

chen's smile immediately fell. ❝what!? ❞
