  “Where do you want to go after this?” Jeno asked out of the blue, after he read their Manager’s message on Jaemin.

  “I want to go to a Mall just near this place.” Jisung said and pouted.

  “And what are you going to do to the Mall?” Renjun asked as he looked at their Maknae.

  “We’re going to buy books for our lessons, Hyung— I mean Uncle. We badly need to have more knowledge on our lessons.” Chenle said.

  “Okay, we’re going to a Mall near this area and buy your needs in school. I will be the one to pay for that.” Jaemin said and smiled at their two young members.

  “You’re a very nice Eomma and Appa.” Chenle cheerfully said as he eats his food.

  Jeno and Jaemin looked at each other and smiled.

  “I will be the one to buy you snacks for you to have something to grab while studying.” Haechan said which made the younger ones very happy.

  “We’re lucky to have this family. Right, Jisung-ah?” Chenle asked the Maknae.

  Jisung smiled at Chenle and nodded as a response for his mouth is full of food.

  The guys laughed because of that and then they started to talk about a new topic, again.

  It took them almost an hour after they finished eating all of their orders.

  “Guys, just wait here, okay? I’ll just pay our bill.” Jeno permissioned as he stood up and went to the counter.

  “Hey, Jaemin-ah. Are you really certain that the both of you aren’t dating for real?” Haechan asked.

  “Yes, Jaemin-Hyung. I also noticed that day by day, the both of you acting like a real couple.” Jisung said.

  Jaemin just smiled at them and looked at Jeno.

  ‘If I were to ask, I will tell that we are dating for real. For me, it’s like we’re really a couple. I just don’t know if Jeno thinks the same.’ Jaemin said in his mind.

  “No, we’re not dating. I promise. Jeno and I are just best friends. Nothing more, nothing less.” Jaemin said as he looked at his co-members again.

  “Are you really telling the truth?” Renjun asked Jaemin, looking at the younger’s eyes.

  Jaemin the avoid Renjun’s look and stayed silent.

  “So, Guys. Are you ready to go?” Jeno asked as soon as he have returned to their table.

  The guys nodded and decided to leave the place.

  While they were walking, Jeno noticed that Jaemin was very silent.

  “Hey, Sweetie. Are you okay?” The older asked as he looked at the younger.

  Jaemin didn’t hear what Jeno the reason why Jeno squeezed his hand, just in a very light pace.

  The younger came back to his sense and looked at Jeno.

  “Are you okay?” Jeno asked again.

  “Yes. I just remember what happened yesterday.” Jaemin said as an excuse and watched his steps.
