⌜ special chapter ⌟

❝behave, and if you need something from us, we'll be just at that table.❞ those were the last words jie heard from his parents before watching them walk to a specific corner where their group of friends are.

he didn't want to be separated from them, but he had to. the chinese dumpling didn't want to burden them more, not on this special day.

a day where his uncle sunshine is finally getting married to someone he has been longing for.

though, the wedding ceremony was over, they were all attending the reception where the newly married couple were about to share their wonderful story. ❝after the long wait, they are finally together.❞

currently, jie is sitting with his friends he had made in school. coincidentally, they were also part of this big family tree they have, their parents being close friends. he was excited for this day to come. the moment that this was announce last week, the little dumpling was getting himself prepared for this very special night. not just because he'd get to witness his uncles' wedding, also not just because he'll be seeing and being with his friends— but because of a certain someone that he has been settling his eyes for.

although, this moment was not the right time to ogle about this specific guy.

why? because he's in such a difficult state, where jie didn't even tell his parents about.

however, there's this one person who got to know because jie had got to ask him if he can drive him back home to get his pills for his tough state. that just happens to be the two distinguished actors' oldest son, nakamoto rin— who is also looking at him with worry in his eyes upon seeing that the half chinese is squirming in an uncomfortable manner on his seat. ❝are you okay?❞

hearing him whisper to his ear and also having to feel his hand squeezing his, jie looked with a reassuring, but forced, smile. ❝i c-can still manage.❞

he can manage? that made him internally let out a mocking laugh because he knows for a fact that this is going to get worse sooner if he doesn't leave this place. especially when he's upset that a particular someone is sitting at a different table than them, and he's craving for his presence to be close to him.

well, there's one thing that runs in the park family, and that is their jealousy getting out of hand.

❝i have heard from my papa's story that uncle simba's alpha rejected uncle sunshine.❞ the youngest of the triplets that's present there then said, staring at the married couple who's being called up on stage to give their opening speech for the night.
