The Traps of the Black Swan

Taking the man's attention on her face, she grabbed his freshly brewed coffee cup and walked out without a word.

Lisa: "..."

He saw Jisoo still acting and exited the Starbucks with a coffee cup in hand leaving two customers in all confusion without realizing until late that their coffee was missing.

Ruby Jane and Jisoo high-fived meeting outside. The latter commented, "You were so sleek."

Ruby Jane remarked, "I thought you will start crying in her arms."

Jisoo rolled his eyes and sipped his coffee but spat out, "Eww so bitter."

Ruby Jane who tasted the coffee spit out, "Yuck! black coffee."

Then a hand propped in front of them with the coffee cup holder. Dropping the stolen coffee to the bin both grabbed a cup from Lisa.

"Mall of Mocon."

Jisoo wanted to go to a different one, "Nooo, Orion..."

Ruby Jane shook her head, "Security cameras Jisoo. Skylar is the largest shareholder at MOM and the second is M. So nobody will complain against us."

Jisoo knew his name couldn't go out, else his father will beat the shit out of him. He nodded and heard Lisa, "Were you guys the same in country U?"

Ruby Jane glanced at Jisoo who started laughing, "I wanted to flirt with her showing off I'm rich so she handed me a cheque and said, 'It doesn't work on me.' She even smiled, making me a laughing stock. Such a devil."

"Didn't you know she is from..." Lisa didn't say her family name seeing her frown.

Jisoo spoke, shaking his head, "She and Mino are the scholarship students we had so we thought she is middle class."

At Mall of Mocon

Ruby Jane was perplexed seeing Lisa tag along but didn't ask.

Ruby Jane and Jisoo saw Mino approaching with a bright smile. He was tall and well built. His skin was slightly honey-colored and he gave off a serious vibe unless you speak to him.

"Dum Dum." His hands wrapped in the air while Ruby Jane escaped.

"Bum shots!" Ruby Jane said excitedly and Jisoo kicked Mino very next second.

Mino: "..."

Ruby Jane burst into laughter seeing Mino chasing after Jisoo and cursing him. "Wanker... Gormless man... Are we even friends? How dare you write your last wish as Bumshots? You Nutter... You better transfer your ownership of all Highlands to me. You knob headed fool..."

"Ligger, I will break your legs if you touch me. My young master will never let you kick..."

Mino kicked him and quickly reached Ruby Jane who was flushed from laughing.

Lisa didn't disturb them and time passed in the mall watching them play. He had heard from Jisoo they used to have a blast, he got a glimpse of it but his eyes stayed on Ruby Jane who let go of her darkness for the time being.

"Guys, what's the plan?"

Jisoo planned out, "My voice is sharper so I will start running out of that ice cream cafe. Mino, don't forget to overact. And Little heart, toss the ice we buy for you and run out looking back in fear. Clear?"

"Ease."

"Cool"

Three behaved like high-class elite princes and a princess with style and attitude; they ate ice cream.
