"I'M TOTALLY - ABSOLUTELY FINE!!!!", Siel exasperated. After collecting her composure, she replied to jaemin ,"He's just my blind date, nothing more. We'll never see each other again after today." she said in a low voice, coming to his small nephew's height.

But the last line just made Siel feel empty. It was a bitter pill to swallow that Dongheon will forget everything about today, as if it was a dream. The thought that he won't remember her make her feel....sad.

"Hmmm, I don't think that's the case", Jaemin said with a smirk on his face . Now Siel felt simply annoyed by him.

She turned to him with a scowl on her face and shot back at jaemin,"oh really? So what do you think will happen, 2feet Sherlock Holmes?"

"I think you guys will go long way. And you'll have to meet him again."

"And how's that going to happen?"

"Because I'll tell about your blind date to mother. She'll tell grandmother. And then they'll pester you too meet with this guy here. That's why you'll have to meet him, again" , jaemin said with an evil grin. She looked at Dongheon who was, a little far, opening the car's door for them. She hoped him not to hear their stupid conversation.

She looked at her nephew who was giving her a smug smile and She couldn't take it anymore. If her sister and mother knew about this blind date, they'll annoy her till the end of the world to let them meet dongheon. So, it's time for some damage control.

She crouched down to be on the same eye level as her nephew and tried to sweet talk him out of his evil plan.

"Jaemin~~~ah, you know your aunty loves you a lot. Please don't do this to me. What do you want me to do? I'll keep your any request." She pleaded with soft eyes.

"Well... nothing much. Just don't tell mother about me faking illness. I won't spill a word about your blind date." The kid spoke sharply.

"Promise? You won't go back on it?" , Siel asked.

" Yes, yes, aunty. Pinky swear!" Said the smart boy.

"Fine , pinky swear." Both parties shook the hands to seal the deal.

" Guys, are you coming?", Dongheon yelled from her car. " Coming!" Both said in unison as they ran towards the car.

The distance from Jaemin's school to his house wasn't that much , but to Siel, it felt like miles. Why? She has her blind date beside her and her nephew on the back. And the said nephew is asking way too many questions.

"What's your name?", The little boy asked like the boss talking interview.

"My name is Lee Dongheon." Adoring the confident young boy he replied smiling.

"How did you meet my aunty?
"Well we-"

"How old are you?
"I a-"

"What do you do for a living? Are you serious about.."

Dongheon opened his mouth but couldn't say a word, looking at the young kid who was throwing questions at him but letting him answer and pretty lady who was sitting next to him was clearly getting angry.

"That's it JAEMIN! One more question and I'll tell your mother everything!"

His aunt's rage made Jaemin silent. He pouted and said, "Okay, okay. No more questions."

"Thank you, I need a peaceful drive back to your home." Siel signed softly, dongheon who was observing her very expressions smiled silently looking away. In the back of his mind, he was enjoying this wired date.

"Aunty, before we reach home, can we get an Ice cream?", Jaemin pleaded. "Weren't you pretending to have a stomach ache? How can you eat an Ice cream when you have..."

To clear off the heavy atmosphere, Dongheon cut her off mid sentence saying, "Yes! let's eat ice cream!"
"Yessssssss!!!" , Jaemin exclaimed and clapped cheerfully getting the support from her aunt's date.

Siel felt like she just lost in a one against two battle. " Fine, whatever you guys want."

They stopped by an Ice cream cart. Dongheon and Jaemin went outside to get some ice cream . While Jaemin was eagerly choosing which ice cream he'll take, dongheon leaned towards the car and asked with a sweet heart flattering voice "Siel, would you like some ice cream?"
"I- I'll pass" she replied and looked away to control her heartbeats. She couldn't look him in the eye . He was confusing her.

She hated him for his blank reply, but his kind gestures
made her remember why she liked him in the first place.

"Okay let's go home now", Jaemin said excitedly. Siel took steering wheel and prayed to the gods that she takes Jaemin home in one piece.

As Siel took jaemin near to the stairs of his home while Dongheon stood few steps away. "Don't do any mischief of this kind again. I won't save you every time", said Siel before knocking the door for his grandma to open it . "I can't make promises, but I'll try.", Jaemin said with a sly tone. Siel could only sigh about her nephew. Before leaving them, Jaemin turned to Dongheon saying, "Uncle, you're the best!!I hope your date goes well." Dongheon shyly smiled and gave no reply. Siel stood still as she had neither snarky nor angry reply .
