This & That Studio

"Aaaaaand, that should do it~. That concludes this photoshoot~"

Synbad cheered, having finally completed another photoshoot for a new magazine issue.

"Way to go dad~!"

"The three of you are natural born models"

"I wouldn't change a thing about any of these shots"

Xuefen, Junsung, and Jeongho supported their fathers by attending their photoshoot, finally getting to see how amazing they were at their job.

Unlike the last times, however, Jeno joined Jisung and Chenle for their latest project.

"Which ones do you kids like the most?"

Jeno asked, lightly passing the basketball they used in the shoot to Chenle.

"Hmm... These two"

"Oh yeah. I really like those"

"Those are really good ones~"

All three kids chose the same two photos, those of which had just been patched up by Synbad.

"I actually really like these two as well~"

Jisung smiled, paying close attention to the pictures that were chosen to feature in the magazine.

"I'll take it from here you guys. I'll make sure these will all be perfected and ready by the end of the day. But as always, here's your payments~. It's a bit extra for your job well done saving everyone again~"

"Thanks a lot Syn~. We'll catch up with you again later~"

Chenle gave Synbad a pat on the back as they all bid their goodbyes, and they left together to leave him to concentrate on his work.

Upon exiting the studio, Jeno and Jeongho boarded their three-wheeled motorcycle to ride back home.

To follow them, Chenle shifted into a panther and Jisung rode on his back, and Junsung and Xuefen used their different abilities of flight to follow along with them.

"Hey dad. What made you want to join in on this photoshoot?"

"I'm not really sure myself. I guess I just wanted to have some fun with Chenle and Jisung. It was something a bit out of the ordinary for me, but I still had plenty of fun"

Jeno explained, carefully riding through traffic.

"We're really happy that you joined us hyung. I think it added some more charm to the shoot all together. I'm sure that our fans will love it a lot too since they're not expecting it"

"And the sporty concept will definitely grab their attention~"

Jisung and Chenle both expressed their opinions concerning Jeno's appearance in the magazine.

"I can't wait to see the finished product once Synbad-hyung is done with the preparations~"

"He's so skilled in what he does. I doubt that it'll take him long to finish, but I'm not rushing him of course. I predict that they should be ready in a about a week or less~"

"You know, Xue. This edition is going to be the first of its kind. Not only is hyung featuring in, but it's also going to be the first magazine of ours that'll have random photo cards inside~"

Chenle revealed, capturing all three of the kids' attention.

"The three of us each took two photos for the cards, and there's two other cards that have two versions of photos with all three of us in them. So there's eight cards to collect in all, and each magazine includes one single and one group photo card~"

Jisung explained, quiet enough so the fans they rode past wouldn't hear spoilers.

"I see.. Now I'll finally have something unique to add to my collection too..~"

"Huh?? What collection kiddo??"

Jeno curiously asked his son as they all stopped at a red light.

"I...have a secret collection of all of your merch. I started collecting a while ago, and mom helped me keep it hidden.. But now...I see no point in keeping it a secret anymore.."

Jeongho became a bit embarrassed, and hid his face in his father's back as he held onto him tighter.

"...You really want the magazine to add to your collection Jeongho?"

The boy didn't answer with words, but immediately nodded against his back.

"...I'll ask Synbad if he can make a special copy with all eight cards inside for you"

"R-Really?? You mean it~??"

Jeno was very happy to see Jeongho light up so quickly, and was eager to see his son's collection.

"You bet~. I'll even see if it can be the first copy that gets released early~"

"You're the best dad ever~!"

Jeongho excitedly hugged Jeno, presenting the same eye smile that his father possesses.

"Anything for you kiddo~"
