"Are you free tomorrow?" Jaemin asks whilst leaning his body against the set of lockers, although he's currently blocking them, the owners aren't even here yet anyway.

Jeno's hand freezes mid air as he snaps his head to look at Jaemin beside him, "uhm, yeah..." He trails off with his fingertips now rubbing against each other as a habit.

"Great, do you want me to pick you up? Is 9 o clock good for you?" Jaemin asks again, making Jeno more confused.

"... I...uh... I guess so? Where are you taking me tomorrow, hyung?" Jeno tilts his head to the side, raising a brow at him.

The elder boy doesn't answer his question properly, "somewhere I hope you will like."

The blond haired boy blinks, "huh?" Pondering in thought as he tries to guess of what Jaemin meant and what this whole thing is exactly about.

"Wait hyung, for what is this? Like– is there an event? Do I need to dress up?" He starts asking more and more questions as his curiosity grew.

Jaemin could only chuckle, "that's up to you, Jeno." He smiles a little mischievously, as if he has a surprise plan for Jeno tomorrow.

"Wait–"

"I'll see you tomorrow, yeah? I have to go now," and before Jeno could even stop him, Jaemin's already off to his next class.

Leaving Jeno in confusion and impatient, the gears in his brain turning as he tries to figure it out.

"Hey, uhm Yeeun..." Jaemin calls as he taps the blond haired girl on her shoulder, sort of disturbing her focus on the book she was currently reading.

Luckily it wasn't really anything important, it is just a book one of her friends gave her and asked her to check it out if she liked it.

Looking up, Yeeun takes off her headphones and raises a brow at him, signaling him to get on with it before their teacher comes in.

"Uh, I just wanted to let you know... I'm taking Jeno out on a date tomorrow..."

"Okay....? Why are you telling me this exactly?" She straightforwardly asks with a stern voice.

Jaemin shrugs his shoulders and replies, "because I know you can be.... Err... Overprotective of him–"

"Hell yeah I am," Yeeun's sudden stern answer doesn't fail to make her more intimidating. "What are you planning, Jaemin?"

"Huh? Oh, nothing too special–"

"No, I meant what are your intentions?" Yeeun squints her eyes at him. Leaning closer that has Jaemin backing up in instinct.

"Are you doing this for real or are you planning on something fucked up?"

"What? Of course not! I just want to take your brother out on a cute and simple date. A little weird I guess for most siblings, but y'know." Jaemin defends himself.

He inwardly pats himself on the shoulder for sounding very believable and innocent; like a decent guy.

A total facade.

When Yeeun doesn't say anything the next second, Jaemin quickly follows up with, "I'm just letting you know, as his older sister who cares for him a lot, I didn't want to cause a fuss."

He looks around, seemingly cautious for anyone eavesdropping and whispers, "also uhm, don't... Tell him... Please."

"Ha?" Yeeun makes a face that gets her forehead to crease whilst leaning back to look at Jaemin weirdly.

"Jeno doesn't know it's a date, it's a surprise date I guess."

"You think?" She snorts at him, "so what? I'm just not going to mention anything specific and pretend to be dumb?"

When she gets a nod from Jaemin, she rolls her eyes. "And why did you thought of a surprise date instead of letting him know?"

"If I told him beforehand, he wouldn't stick by our deal." Jaemin answers in a monotone.

"What deal?" Yeeun furrows her eyebrows.

"It's ridiculous, really. It's just about who gets to pay for the food and stuff." Jaemin chuckles.

"Ah right, he can be too nice and stubborn at the same time." Yeeun says knowingly, that's her little brother of course.

"Where are you taking him?"

"Honestly not too sure but–"

"Bring him to the arcade." Yeeun says cutting him off, crossing her arms as she leans back on her chair in a casual pose.

"Oh, I was kind of planning to take him to the cafe–"

"Don't you want him to have fun too in this cute and simple date?" The blond haired girl deadpans, "take him to the arcade, trust me."

"How do I know you're not sabotaging me?" This time, it was Jaemin's turn to get suspicious of her.

It has Yeeun scoffing, "do you really think I would sabotage my dear little brother's date?"

Scanning her in an exaggerated manner, Jaemin shrugs his shoulders. "No offense, but that sounds like something you would do. Especially to someone you're not fond of."

"Okay, none taken." She held her hands up in the air for a split second. "Although I'm not a hundred percent okay with you, I wouldn't do that."

"Besides, spoiler alert, my brother likes you a bunch. And I'm not the type of sister to ruin his happiness and love life, especially in one go."

"So... You're okay with me taking your little brother out on a date tomorrow?" Jaemin asks for confirmation.

The blond haired girl hums in agreement, "I guess," shrugging her shoulders before glaring at him again.

"But if he comes home crying or I see a single bruise on him, I will talk to my parents about this and there will be a chance your engagement with him is included." She threatens.

If it was a different situation and Jaemin wasn't in a dangerous mafia gang going undercover as a student and a citizen, he wouldn't be that scared.

But apparently, that isn't the case.

He knows it sounds ridiculous, it should be the other way around. He shouldn't be scared of a citizen when he's the semi bad guy here.

However, things are complicated.

It clicks to him that not only is he taking Jeno out on a date tomorrow.

But he also has to make sure the younger boy comes back home in one piece with his beautiful smile on his face.

Or else their plan could be ruined, and Jaemin knows Yeeun is capable of a lot of things– just like him.

Not much of a difference, it's just minus the whole "killing" and "wanted" things for Yeeun.

She stands by her words though.

And when it comes to Jeno, her precious little brother, she makes sure of it. And her parents as well once they hear a fuss about the Nakamoto family.
