Grown up

They acted, as if they didn't hear anything threatening, but a joke and started laughing, while looking at the cellphone in ZouMi's hand.

With a weird look, the bulky seniors came towards that group.

Shock covered all over their face, when they saw the video content. "Bo... Boss." One of the member turned towards the fat guy, Mu Chung.

"What are you waiting for, beat them." Scowled, looking at his friends with an angry look and bloodshot eyes ready to make them pay for what happened in the afternoon. Born with a golden spoon, Mu Chung never faced any humiliation and now when he did, his little fragile ego and pride was shaken.

"Yah, sure you can, oh come on hit us. What happened in the cafeteria was seen by some, but after..." Turning the phone screen towards Mu Chung, Bai played the video, "Posting this on our school page, whole school will see this funny scene. Isn't it too funny, my stomach hurts for laughing... Haha, look at your face. What happen now? Weren't you going to turn us black and blue? Plan changed?"

"You record it? How dare you do that, give that phone to me!" He screamed on top of his lungs.

With a smirk, Xau said, "What do you think we are? Bandits? Our your servants? If you ever try to bully anyone next time, snatch their food or make them do your work, I will make sure this video not just be on our school website, but on social media too. Karma is a bit*h, haven't, you heard that? Oh, you have already seen it. This was the same treatment you give to other's."

"Psychos!" Chung murmured and cursed underneath his breath, called his boy's back. 'Just wait for my day, you have to pay double for what you did today!'

"We are big psycho's, so don't dare to cross our path, you are graduating this year, so peacefully do. But, if you want to stay, we can surely make it for next year, after all we can gift you with anything you want." With a devilish tone, Chen warned and walk towards Chung and patted his shoulder and walked away with his group.

Walking a meter away from the seniors, the serious aura around them faded and started laughing.

"That was quite intimidating, his face was like a dead leaf. Damn funny, haha!"

"Thank you guys." Came a little voice from behind. "You guy's too bullied me once, yet you took revenge from that seniors for me, why so? Let it be, what you did that for me was really heart touching, thank you." With a genuine smile, Sei looked at the group. Their transgender classmate, who was bullied by that senior group, as a lesson they did the same with them.

"We do bully, we aren't bandits, only in a limit, where sentiments couldn't be hurt. What they did to you, commenting on your gender was rude, and that to towards my class member, not at all acceptable! Only we can tease our class member." Said Bai with a wink.

Though, ZouMi's group troubled the whole class, teasing the silent one, to speak up, but they did all to boost their confidence, rather in the other way.

They were a good kind of bully's (Author's note: There is no such thing 'good bullies', but they are not humiliating, rather supporting.)

Their group encourages every single one of their class to take part in competitions, the support system kind of group. And the most mischievous, yet lovable human's. Does everything to make all of them smile.

After the little talk with their classmate, they headed home.

Mrs. Sid, was waiting for them in the living room for the evening family time. And were late, which made Mrs. Sid, a little worried, but seeing all of them fine, she sighed in relief.

"What made you all late?" With narrow eyes looked at the group.

"Mum you have to listen to this..." Narrating the story to Mum Sid, all of them burst laughing.

"You all did a great job, a treat for you all." Gesturing toward the maid to bring the homemade cookies, which were favorite of them.

"I made this for you all, taste it and say how it is."

"Mum, we don't even need to taste we know you're the best".

Fighting over the last cookie left after eating their own portion, giving weird reasons as to get the last one. Making fun of each other, all of them enjoyed their evening.

When Mr. Sid arrived, it was past eight. Laughter was heard even before entering the living room. Seeing his family having loveable time, made him forget the tiring day and joint them.

Narrating the whole afternoon event in front of their Dad, which was the third time, one to their mother, other to Sis Yang and now Mr. Sid, but still expressed joy and happiness.

At the dinner table;

"Dad, what's wrong, you look different today. Is everything, ok?" Expressed Xau after noticing change in his father's behavior.

"Uaah! Nothing just a little tired, long day effect. I will take some rest." With this, he got up and wiped his mouth and stormed out of the dinning room.

The lie he told between his teeth was believed by everyone, but ZouMi's eyes were narrowed in suspicion. 'It's not just an effect of tiring day something is up surely.' Saying in her mind, she let it go.

"By the way, how is your training going?"

"Excellent mum, I'm enjoying it."

"You surely are enjoying but, we have to face the pain given by you, while using us as your private practice body!" Complained Chen. Nodding their head, as a sign that Bai and Xau support him.

The buries, the pain, muscle cramps was all they had this week. When ZouMi came back to home after her evening classes, Chen, Bai, Xau was her dummies every day for her practice in arts.

"Oh, come on, you have to complain every single time, grow up boy!" Ruffling his hair, ZouMi teased him.

"Ok, I will show you what a grown-up boy looks like!" Running behind her. Soon they ended up in a pillow fight. With shrieks of joy full voice.

...

Late at night, ZouMi silently entered the study of her father, to check out what was going on, which made him so tired. But found nothing, and ended up completing some paper work, reading documents and correcting, where necessary.

Many new project's have to start, which gave a lot of work pressure. Seeing her Dad taking all the work load, every night ZouMi sneaked into the study room and completed some tasks on behalf of her father.
