haechan was falling for renjun all over again.

actually he always was it just paused for two years.

the way renjuns smile made him smile too, that laugh, and those eyes that held the most beautiful dark brown color haechan has ever seen

renjun was so happy to see one of his bestfriends, and also his only crush

the only one he had feelings for.

the puzzle pieces were complete again, they just didn't realize it.

oh, jian was just happy to try out a pink lemonade drink and renjuns apple iced tea

"why are you here?" jian asked as he looked at haechan head-to-toe, slightly scaring the older

"xiaojun and hendery were busy, so renjun asked me to pick you up" haechan chuckled awkwardly, "do you like renjun?" jian asked

"you won't tell him?" "if you bring me to the mall"

haechan sighed, he should have just lied to jian

"fine. i do, come on," haechan sighed, "wait! will you hurt gege again?"

haechan looked at jian before fixing his glasses, "no, jian, i wouldn't hurt him ever again." he smiled

jian smiled back and nodded, walking away from the school with haechan, receiving looks from everybody

i mean...who wouldn't look? out of all the people who has picked her up—(renjun, xiaojun, hendery and lucas), haechan was the most intimidating one to see with a giggly little girl

like a bodyguard with clefairy, a pokemon, if you didn't know. except she isn't rude and stupid💀

haechan cleared his throat before speaking, "how was school?"

"it was great," jian smiled "we got to play with paints" haechan hummed and listened to jian talk about all of the stuff she did in school

"do you think they just like me because everyone knows renjun?" thats a surprising question from an 8 year old.

"no, they like you because you're nice and amazing, jian. if they only like you because your big brother is a mdoel then they're missing out on the big stuff" "really?" "mhm"

their conversation went on for a while until they reached the mall, deciding to not ride a car because haechan had no idea if jian gets car sick

"i was joking about the mall part" jian looked around the mall, hearing haechan chuckle from beside her

"we're here anyways, where do you want to go?" haechan smiled, placing a hand on jians bag for extra safety, anyone could just snatch this kid away when haechan isn't here

"the arcade!"

--

after a few dozens of trying out games and playing them for the same prize, jian had finally got her stuffed cat and renjuns stuffed fox, and one bear for haechan

maybe she even got two more pink stuffed animals with maybe a little too much details (a butt.),

and she got ice cream in exchange for being well behaved

"renjuns a busy man isn't he" haechan suddenly spoke up, placing the other stuffed toys inside jians bag

"mhm, he makes a lot time to play with me too...and he says he doesn't need anyone to take care of him" jian looked down at her shoes

"jian, is it okay if i take care of your brother?"
"as long as you won't hurt him"

haechan nodded, looking at jian who held her pinky out, immediately understanding what she meant "i won't hurt him."
