Chapter 7 -The Big Day

The day has finally come which is Saturday. It is either pass or fail. We are sure that we will do whatever is in our abilities. Given the amount of manpower we have in our club, it is really more than enough. On that day, we decided that ten of us will be following Jin. Then the rest just proceed on with other things.

"Jin, remember how the plans goes. If you think you can freestyle sometimes then do it. If not, stick to the plan. We always got your back. Don't need to be panic if you make mistakes. We will help you solve it if it is possible. Good luck ! Here you go, put this on your ear", said Sullivan. He always do most of the talking and the planning for meeting. Because he is good in keeping things on track. Time is an important criteria for him. He will get angry when we are late for no vaild reason.

I feel relieved when I got him in my team. Sullivan stuff the wireless earphone in Jin's ear. It is for us to communicate with him from a far distance. To make it not so obvious, Sullivan pull out a beanie from Jin's bag and put it on Jin. "Luckily you didn't forgotten about bringing your beanie" said Sullivan as he breathe a sign of relief.

I said, "hey bro, you being too stress out. We could always get one if he has forgotten to bring. We are still early anyway." Sullivan looked at me and shook his head in disappointment. "Cut Jin some slack, he is still new. He can't be like acting us so quickly. He needs time to get used to our style of doing things." I said. Sullivan gave it a thought and said, "yeah boss, you are right. That's why you can be the boss !" "Drop it ! Let's go eat breakfast ! We are reaching Mac Donald's soon" I repiled.

We went in and split up to find seats. When we found our seats, we put down our bags and let one of us sit down there to take care of our bags while the rest of us go buy their food. We will also help the person who is taking care of our bag to buy his food too.

When we finished eating, it is already 9.30am. The time where Jin needs to meet Joey is at 10.00am. When we are eating, Sullivan and Chinn keep on revising the steps with Jin. Zethy and me is just busy eating. We dont really like to talk while eating.

"Let's walk to the place they arranged to meet each other", said Sullivan. "But is still a bit a early', said Chinn and Zethy. They seems quite sleepy. "What's wrong with you two ?" I asked. "Remember that it is better for you to wait than letting a girl wait for you ?", I asked again. I often pass down my teachings to them but they won't listen to all of them. To me, sometimes in some scenario, a guy needs to be a gentleman.

Suddenly at this moment, a girl jumped onto my back. I nearly fell down because of her sudden jump onto me. When she let go of me, I turned around and realised who is it now. "Jocelyn ah, that's very dangerous you know ?", I said nicely. "I don't care !", Jocelyn stick her tongue out and said, "I don't care ! I like doing it to you. Only you. Apart from that, what is my dearest brother doing here ? Doing your thing again ? So today is punishing or helping ?"

Jocelyn is my sworn sister. We share the same thoughts so we can be siblings. That's it. There is nothing complicated happened behind us.

"You ah ! I can never win you. Forget it ! What are you doing here early in the morning ? You want to join me ? I am helping one of my friend who is also in my club", I said.

Jocelyn pulled me down to a height where she is able to whisper in my ear, "I will join you later, okay ? I am doing grocery shopping right now. I will be quick. After I brought whatever I am supposed to, I will call my dad to take it home so I can join you much faster."

"Take your time ! Call me later when you are done, okay ?", I said. She nodded. Sullivan pointed his watch at me to notify me that it is time. I quickly rush over to hide so that Joey won't discover us.

Finally Joey arrived. Jin was sitting down outside Starbucks. He didn't know that Joey was behind him. We didn't wanted to tell him too as it wilk spoilt the surprise that Joey wanted to give him. "Guess who am I ?", she shouted from the back and covered Jin's eyes.

We can see that Jin was a bit frighten by Joey's action. "Joey ?", he said softly with uncertainty. "Be confident, there is no one here that will do this to you", Joey said in a playful tone. We can see that Joey was in a good mood today. We don't know what happened to her before she met up with Jin or maybe is because of Jin.

Jin removed her hand from his eyes and look at her with a smile. "Good morning Joey ! You looked great today !", he said enthusiastically.

"Morning ! Thank you ! Where shall we head to now ?", asked Joey.

"Have you eaten breakfast ?", asked Jin. "Haven't yet", Joey said with a sad face. "Let's go in to Starbucks and get some coffee with food for breakfast then", Jin suggested. "Alright, sounds like a good idea. I wouldn't want to head to elsewhere because I have no more energy to. It been a long time too since I had Starbucks coffee", Joey said.

They went in and queue up. Jin asked what Joey wants before their turn is up as there is one more person ahead of them and told Joey to sit down first.

Three of us went in. They sat near them but no visible to Joey to see. The five of us sat at benches outside Starbucks. Joel and I have a quick chat as I think there are enough people to monitor Jin's progress.

"What was that yesterday ? Are being serious or just playing ? Just for the sake of fun. I will seriously whack you up. I confirm that the rest will slap and smack you too. We don't hurt people that are innocent. We hurt people back because they hurt other Intentionally", I said.

Joel said, "Do I look like that kind of guy ? I know what are the rules to play by. I know it is quite surprising. You might be not expecting this. I know Angeline about nearly a month now. As you can see, she was pretty courageous yesterday. It really takes time to think through whether to do it or not. I can see that she got quite a bit pressurise by her friends but she pull it through rather than backing out and at the same time they were her only support. I saw through her efforts and sincerity so I decided that I give her a chance. To be honest, I do have feelings for her. It wasn't that strong at first. But I believe she will strengthen it. She is a shy girl. I know my chacteristic so I will be able to match up with her. I will tell you more about her another day. It will get a bit long if I continue. We are in a mission"

"After hearing this, I am happy for you. I saw your smile yesterday. I know that you are smiling for real this time. Whatever it is, last long. Yeah, let's concentrate on Jin now", I said.
