  "Wait, what?!" Jaemin and Jeno shouted in unison.

  "We're going to do that activity." Renjun answered the boys' question.

  "But, we is Jeno-Hyung going to be the Father and then Jaemin-Hyung as the Mother?" Jisung asked.

  "I don't know, Jisung-ah." Renjun answered.

  "Please excuse me for a minute." Jaemin said as he got up and went to the Comfort Room to dial their Manager's number.

  "Please be back right away. The order's going to be here." Renjun said and Jaemin just nodded.

  "Hello, Manager-Nim." Jaemin said right when their Manager answered the call.

  "Yes, Jaemin? Is there any problem?" Their Manager asked from the other line.

  "I thought you already fixed our schedule? Why do we have the same schedule?" Jaemin asked worriedly.

  "Actually, your schedules are not the same. Your Family Activity has its time. I will give you the schedule today. By the way, where are you?" Their Manager explained and asked.

  "They're at the dining hall, Manager-Nim, and I went to the Comfort Room just to call you." Jaemin answered.

  "Okay, I'm going there now. Wait for me." Their Manager said and ended the call.

  Jaemin let out a very deep sigh. He turned around and faced the huge mirror of the Comfort Room.

  'Can I really do this? Will I not fall for Jeno?' He asked himself in his thoughts.

  After looking at his reflection in the mirror, he decided to go back to the dining hall because at any moment, their Manager would arrive and discuss the 'Family Activity' thing to them.

  "Guys, Manager's going to see us here. He'll discuss about that Activity." Jaemin said when he arrived at their table and have his seat beside Jeno.

  "Are you okay?" Jeno whispered to Jaemin.

  The younger just let out a sigh and nodded.

  Just right after how many minutes, their Manager arrived and instantly started their meeting.

  "Okay. So, this activity is for you to act as a family. A real one." Their Manager started.

  "I have already assigned you your role. You should really act like a Mom, for example." Their Manager added.

  "Are we going to film this?" Chenle asked.

  "We're not going to film this but there are hidden cameras around you. " Their Manager answered.

  The guys nodded just and listens to their Manager, again.

  "Your Activity's time duration is only 2 hours. You'll start at 12 noon and end at 2 in the afternoon." Their Manager said. "You really must act, okay?"

  "Okay." The boys answered in unison.

  "Your activity will start tomorrow." Their Manager said and stood up. "I'll get going. Good luck, Guys." He added and left the guys.

  "This is going to be fun." Jisung excitedly said.

  "Let's be naughty, Jisung-ah. Let's see who'll be the first to give up on us." Chenle said as he looked at Jisung. Both of them did a high-five and then laughed.

  "Hey, Jaemin-ah. Are you okay?" Renjun asked as he noticed that Jaemin do not look good.

  "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just thinking on how to act like a real Mother tomorrow." Jaemin answered as he looked at Renjun and let out a smile.

  Jeno felt that Jaemin's feeling uncomfortable the reason why he held its hand under their table.

  Jaemin instantly looked at Jeno for he was startled but looked away so that their co-members wouldn't notice that there's something going on under their table.

  "You must act like yourself, Jaemin-ah. You're like a real mother to these two babies." Renjun said as he get a piece of chicken.

  "Yeah, Uncle Renjun's right, Jaemin-Eomma." Chenle said, teases his Jaemin-Hyung.

  Jaemin felt relieved after Chenle teases him, also because of Jeno holding his hand.

  "What about starting the game later at night? Just in our group chat." Jisung suggested which was agreed by the guys.

  "I think this would be really be fun." Jeno said as he slightly squeezed Jaemin's soft hand.

  "Yeah, I think so." Jaemin answered.

  "By the way, Guys. Jaemin and I need to go somewhere." Jeno said as he let go the younger's hand.

  "Aigoo~ Our parents will be having their date." Jisung said which made the guys laugh.

  "Hey, Nephew. Where did you learn that word?" Renjun asked Jisung which made them laugh harder.

  "Okay, Guys. Just go. You're going to be late on your date." Renjun said again which made the guys continue to laugh and which made Jeno hit his left arm, just in a very light pace.

  Jeno and Jaemin bid goodbye to their co-membersite and left the Dining Hall.

  "Where are we going?" Jaemin asked as they walk.

  Jeno held his hand again and answered the younger's question.

  "We're going to some malls of this town, right?" Jeno reminded the younger and looked at Jaemin with his sweet smile.

  "Oh, sorry. I almost forgot." Jaemin said and let out an awkward smile.

  "I know that you were uncomfortable of that Activity. I'm not comfortable with that, too, but we can't say 'NO' to Manager." Jeno said as they continue to walk.

  "It's okay for me. As long as my Dongsaengs are happy with it." Jaemin said and looked at Jeno.

  "I'm sorry if I didn't do something or anything about this matter." Jeno apologized.

  Jaemin stopped from walking when he heard his partner apologize to him.

  The older stopped, too, and looked at Jaemin.

  "Yah, Big Baby. I'm not saying anything or blaming you for doing nothing about this. As long as I'm with you, I am willing to risk everything." Jaemin said and held the older's hand tightly. "We're gonna make it." He added and let out a smile.

  Jeno sighed and smiled, too.

  "Thank you for being such a good guy, Nana." Jeno said and gave the younger and very warm hug.

  "I thank you also for being there for me. I really thank you for making me feel comfortable everytime I feel the opposite. I thank you for everything." Jaemin said as he hug the older back.

  Both of them let go of the hug and started to walk again with their hands holding each other.
