The Traps of the Black Swan

Mino, who saw her blank gaze, had to rub her head again to get her attention back, "Dum Dum..."

Ruby Jane promptly nodded as a response to his question of 'Tired?', she wasn't physically tired but emotionally from burying all past memories that flooded after seeing her mother.

"Let me drop you home."

Ruby Jane wanted to turn down, before that they heard a loud voice dragged long, "Waaaaaaaait." Jisoo quickly reached the duo panting heavily, bent, pressing his palms on his knees trying to catch the breath.

Mino and Ruby Jane knew the over smart Shadow team informed Jisoo without knowing Mino would go to her. The duo shook their head in resignation seeing him exhausted running through the mall to quickly reach them.

Ruby Jane took the water bottle and extended it at him but "Little heart, why are you giving me water, I need a hug." He demanded pushing her hand away.

Ruby Jane smiled helplessly before complying with his demand and gave him a friendly quick hug and heard another child complaining, "What about me?"

Ruby Jane: "..."

She gave a thought and gave a side hug sitting back on the chair to silent the duo but the two fussed again to trouble her

Mino: "Do you call that a hug? Didn't your boyfriend teach you anything?"

Jisoo in estimation: "Little Heart, you must have given him a greeting hug so it's second, where is my..."

Ruby Jane stood up, covered her ears, and walked away saying, "You guys are crazy." She didn't realize she was smiling even though she displayed irritation.

"Dum Dum..."

"Little Heart..."

Then they said in unison following her. "It's not fair "

Ruby Jane heard their footstep quicken and both men chuckled seeing her run as she screamed, "Ahhhh..."

The duo knew it was just temporary fun and happiness but they tried their best to pull her out of sorrow and pain by going on a big shopping spree of three.

It was eight in the evening when they stood next to each other looking at their car trunks of three cars filled with bags and their hands which had more bags.

Ruby Jane looked right at Jisoo who had a charming smirk, then turned left at Mino who had a delighted expression and three cheered in unison as Ruby Jane jumped on her toes, "Heyyy..."

"Holy Moly, I always wanted to do this." Ruby Jane continued without bothering about how many they had frightened in the parking area by their sudden yell out..

They had spent millions buying every random thing from shoes, clothes, expensive accessories without bothering about prices and no space in the car to fill.

There was a time, Jisoo had money but not his own hard-earned money. Ruby Jane had money from her earnings too but she needed to save for her own business, Mino didn't have that much money.

Now three had their own hard-earned money and they used it without bothering about emptying their accounts or checking the price tags. It was like a small dream come true.

The security guards who were panicked reached the three asking, "Excuse me, what happened? Did you see something? Back off, tell us where you saw."

The three looked at each other and burst into laughter seeing them search for something even they didn't know. Mino spoke looking at their bewilderment, "Actually, we don't know where to keep these shopping bags."
