"you're late" jaemin joked as i walked into the cozy café.
i rubbed the nape of my neck and laughed awkwardly.
"yeah, sorry, my nephew wouldn't let me leave the house"
jaemin's face lit up with a smile at the mention of a child which was utterly adorable.
"how old is he?"
"three"
jaemin squealed as he clapped his sweater paws together.
"please let me meet him one day!"
i smiled at his behaviour and nodded before going to order my drink.

"so what is it you're struggling with" i asked as i sat down with my hot chocolate while jaemin got his folder out of his backpack.
"uh.. mainly the cold war" he said shyly as i shook my head to get the hair out of my face and leant forward, pushing my glasses up the bridge of my nose.
"let's work on that then" i smiled.

a few hours of explaining the conflict passed and before we knew it, it was already dark.
jaemin looked out of the window and groaned.
"what is it?"
huffing, he turned to me with a pout.
"it's raining and i have to walk for thirty minutes in the dark"
i ruffles his hair before offering him to come back to my house that sat a few minutes away.
he smiled at the offer, asking if it was ok, to which i reassured him it would be fine.
"you can meet chao" i winked, making him burst with happiness.

when we entered the house, we were greeted with the sounds of giggles as sicheng tickled chao on the couch.
i had jaemin close the door behind him as i placed my bag next to the entrance.
i heard a little gasp followed by many little footsteps as chao ran over to us.
"uncle renjunnie!" he called out as he jumped on me.
"hi there" i struggled to say because of the impact.

he got down and smiled at me before turning to jaemin.
he stuck his hand out, which jaemin gladly shook, and smiled at him aswell.
"hello, my name is chao and i'm three years old" he introduced himself as jaemin chuckled a bit.
"hey chao, i'm jaemin and i'm eighteen years old"
chao smiled as he giggled while pointing at jaemin's hair.
"you have funny coloured hair"

jaemin smiles brightly as he crouched down to his level.
"do you know why i've got funny coloured hair" he said with a jokey-serious tone as chao shook his head no.
"well" he began as he used his hands to make massive gestures while he talked.
"i'm magic, and i used a spell to turn it pink"
chao giggled as he reached out to touch jaemin's hair.
"and i can't figure out how to turn it back!"

jaemin finished as chao gasped and put his hands on his cheeks.
"that isn't very smart! what are you gonna do now?"
jaemin sighed dramatically and shook his head.
"i guess i'm gonna look like this for a while"
chao tutted as he carried on playing with jaemin's fascinating hair.
"but it's ok right? you look hot with pink hair, at least that's what renjun told me last night" sicheng said as he leant on the door frame.

i blushed a bright red as i looked to my brother with wide eyes.
jaemin smirked as he looked up at me from his crouched position.
"oh did he?"
sicheng ran out of the room before i could launch at him.

i looked back to jaemin as i tensed up.
"nO.. i mean not that you don't look hot.. you look amazing actually but that's not the point, i totally didn't tell sicheng that though-"
i was cut off by jaemin's laugh as he raised back up to his normal height.
"you look hot too renjun" he winked as he was dragged by chao into the living room to play.
