"so why did you want to meet me?" Seokmin asked folding hand on chest.

"So.. actually.. yesterday .. you remember? " Joshua halted after every word.

" It will be convenient if you speak in one go." Seokmin suggested.

"My brother didn't believes it!"  Joshua said in high peach despiration.

'what' were written on seokmin's face. Still he asked after watching Joshua just staring at him,"what?he didn't believes what?"

"That..... we are ...you..know.. couple" Joshua fidget with strap of his office bag.

"Cause we are not, what you expect from him?" The answer was actual fact and still it bothers Joshua that Seokmin ain't getting any hint.

"Be my BOYFRIEND!" Joshua said after he take sharp deep breath and kind off yelled out.

"What!" Seokmin had same pitch as him.

"I mean be my fake boyfriend or lover or whatever for few days, please!" Joshua wanted throw himself in hole.

Seokmin took a whole long pause, just staring into universe.

"Joshua!" They saw Jaden and His mother coming towards them.

"Oh! Hello, Seokmin" Mrs Hong greets politely, seokmin get out of his haze and looked at 3 people in front of him.

"Morning Mrs. Hong " he bowed a little. "Your arrival was unexpected after.. you know.." he completed sentence quite awkwardly.

" Yeah"he can feel the sadness in her tone, he glanced at Joshua who looked like he were holding some bad words on his tounge.

"Well, I got to know that at upcoming Monday, Jeongin were starting his school, so I and Jaden decides to accompany both of you on first day. "

" No need! " Joshua said sourly.

" Why not? We missed plenty of things, I surely don't want to miss my nephew's first day of school," there was challenge in Jaden's voice.

" If you forgot, It is the same nephew you want to miss from earth, don't let me help to  remember you How much you crave for his existence! " Joshua were about to launch himself at Jaden, The shock in Seokmin and his mother's face is evident that everything is wrong at this moment.

"Skip it! Your fake ass is only being delusional," Jaden retorted.

"Ohh really ! How about I make you some permanent delusional? Huh?" and Joshua throw himself at Jaden, was about to punch but Seokmin litteraly  pulled him back by his strength. Same goes with Mrs. Hong who pulled Jaden back.

"Calm down you two! "she  said anger laced tone.

" It's your son, who wished my son to be dead and now showing fake care! Fake ass! "Joshua spat out didn't realise that Seokmin's arm were still around his waist.

"Jaden! Didn't I told you, if you are going to be like your father then don't accompany me. "She has sadness in her voicess.

" Seokmin, I hope you guys were not having any problem with us accompining on Jeongin's first day"

" I do have a problem! " Joshua said," I specifically wish for both of your absence, please allow my this wish! " And he walked out of there.

Jaden reflect the same action and walked towards car, "I am sorry for Jaden's behaviour" she said.

Seokmin just nodded awkwardly, "Joshua.. I just want his forgiveness and ability to meet my grandson, will you help me? " She said with soft pleading voice.

" I-.. " seokmin thought for right response, he ain't even part of this family to begin with, why should he take responsibility of there family issues?

"I will try." He said in authorative tone.

A smile appeared on her face," Joshua isn't always that hot tempered it just that our bad actions really changed him so much, he use to be really gentle and sweet soul.. I missed old him.. " he witnessed the numbness in her eyes and that nostalgic feeling in words...

He thought about the Joshua she mentioned, soft and gentle, sweet with words and face which doesn't show how tired he felt all the time.

'must be pretty.. ' he thought himself.
