Clandestine

Chapter 38

(I just changed the book cover! Thank you cypherxing ! Go check out her account for book covers!)    

I sit in the couch looking for new furnitures online. The kids are about to move to the new house and i'm helping with the final touches on the house.

"Your birthday is coming up, what should we do?"

"Nothing. Besides, I'm too old for birthday parties"

"Oh come on, no one's too old for a birthday party"

Doojun snatched my laptop and placed it in the kitchen. Here they go again, bothering my very peaceful morning.

"I know what we should do"

I don't like it when Yoseob suggests. He's got this crazy ideas no one can handle.

"How about... a pool party?"

"A what?!"

We answered in chorus. But the way i said it was different. Their tone was more like a really excited, super agreeing tone mine was like oh my god he's being crazy.

"That's a actually a cool idea!"

"I'm going to be busy the rest of the week. I'm not sure that's possible"

"It's not going to be a birthday party without a celebrant you dummy! Won't the old man cut you some slack? It's your birthday! You should take a break"

Said Yoon Leader who's sitting in my couch. He's got a point. Yoon Junhyong's house has pool. We can set up the party there.

Wait no. I can't. I'm busy.

"Exo's moving this weekend. I have to go with them."

"We get it. You're busy"

"Wait. By the way, were you really out with Kai yesterday?"

I stopped typing and closed the laptop I was holding.

"W-who told you that?"

"Dispatch."

"D-dispatch?"

I reached for Yoseob's phone and read the article. How on earth does those people recognize Jong in?

"Psh. They won't really make a big deal out of it. I mean, it's normal to be with an idol, coz duh! You're a manager, remember?"

I sat back into place. Doojun's right. Well, unless they go twisting the story, it will be big screw up again.

"If they did find out, you're still safe from malicious ideas. Unless...."

"Unless...What?"

"We're you two out on a date?!"

"No!"

If these 'dispatch people' saw me and jong in going to the mall, they might have followed us the whole time. That would mean...

"Holy sh*t! Let me see that again!"

I ran a quick browse of the article just to check if there's more to it. There's just 3 pictures, one when we were going in, the other when were at the dress shop and the one when we're in the shoe shop.

"Oh. Well. Okay."

For a second their i thought...Well nevermind.

"Oh! How about we go to Japan for three days! I have this friend who lives in Tokyo. We can stay at his place"

"WE CAN?!"

I look at Yoseob and he looks serious. I've been wanting to go to tokyo someday. I might be able to go this time.
