Partners With The Badboy

Chapter 27

5:07 AM. What an ungodly hour it was to be at McDonalds.

But that's where this group of teens were at.

Most were constantly dozing off, now that the stress and worry was gone. Luhan had spilled his orange juice into his pancakes by falling asleep on it. Sehun dared him to eat it.

"That's gross," Arlene protested as Luhan took a huge bite.

Kris laughed and gives her a quick peck on the cheek, making everyone groan playfully.

Tao leaned in close to Luhan. "I just thought of something," he announced. "If a family friend told your parents the truth, if you may, about you...do you know the guy?"

Luhan thought about it, then shook his head. "No. I don't remember him. I know what he looks like, though."

"Maybe I know him," Hannah suggested. "Give us details."

"Well...he was black hair. And green eyes. His skin tone is tanned, but not too tan. He has a beard...actually, it's more of stubble."

Hannah frowned. "...Aaron?"

"Who?"

"Uncle Aaron."

"I thought I heard my name," a very manly and husky voice said from behind Hannah.

She whirled around. When she saw him, her face instantly brightened up.

"Aaron!" She said happily.

"Hello, Hannah. Hannah's friends," he nodded his head.

Then his attention focused on Luhan. He smiled. "So you found out."

Luhan stared at him skeptically. "Yeah, that's him. Why can't I...I can't seem to...get a hold of anything."

"Is that new?" Sehun muttered. Arlene smacked the back of his head.

Aaron sighed. "Can a sit?" Hannah made room for him on the bench, pushing Sehun over. He sat down, and leaned on the table. He clasped his hands together.

"I guess I'll explain, then," He concluded.

When the kidnappers had taken Luhan, they had taken him to a black market to sell him for profit. Fortunately, he was to be sold to Aaron's "co-worker".

Aaron had immediately recognized Luhan as Lin Smith, the son of Felix and Nina Smith. Felix and Nina were very close friends of his, and he didn't want any harm done to Lin.

However, Aaron couldn't just give Lin back to the family. It would have endangered his high ranking in the market and the Smiths themselves.

So Aaron bought Lin from his co-worker to ensure his safety. His plan was to give him to an orphanage, and set up for a trustable family to adopt him the week after.

He soon realized that the men who had taken Lin, had also taken his memory of his family. Lin had no idea who Aaron was, even if he had seen him before. There was nothing to be done, except for him to buy the antidote serum that gave his memory back.

Lin was adopted, and that was that. Aaron decided not to tell the Smiths...yet.

When Aaron found out that Nina was in the hospital, he thought that it was the right time to tell them the truth...well, the partial truth.

He had told their parents that Lin was still alive. He "didn't know how", but Lin had been dropped off at the orphanage and was now living with another family. He went by "Luhan" now. He said that Luhan was suffering from memory loss, and the serum that he gave them, would bring the memories back.

"And that's pretty much it," Aaron sighed.

The group was silent, from shock and astonishment.

"My life is a lie," Luhan stated, somewhat offended.

"You're in the freaking black market, Jesus Christ," Sehun spluttered.

Aaron still managed to laugh. Then he stared at Luhan and spoke again, his tone serious.

"You must not reveal the truth to anyone except for the people here right now. If you do, your friends and your family will be in big danger. What I did for you was the best I could do, and it still wasn't safe. I'm sorry."

Luhan slowly nodded. "Thank you...Thank you."

Aaron stood up from his seat. "I've got to go. Business."

"Wait!" Hannah called just as he had begun to leave. He glanced over his shoulder.

"Everything'll be fine, now, right? We won't be...um...involved in anything?" She asked nervously.

Aaron smiled. "As long as you keep your lips locked, everything should be fine." He waved, and exited the restaurant.

After a moment of still silence, the guys began laughing.

"This is so cool!"
"We know, like, illegal information!"
"I can't believe that-"

"GUYS," Hannah and Arlene hissed. "This is secret! You need to shut up!"

They grinned at them.

"Come on," Kris said, "Time for school."
