THOUGHTS ARE IN ITALICS

Author POV

“So you kissed her and made her yours?”

“What nonsense are you talking Sehun?! I went on a date with her!”

“Are you that serious about her?” Baekyun asked

The members of EXO were talking on skype.

“I like her. I truly like her.” Yixing smiled.

“This is why you are called Lay. You’re bloody slow.” The Chinese frowned at Chen’s statement “Of course you like her. Are you falling in love with her?”

Yixing was in deep thought.

“No. Not yet. I need to get to know her more.”

“Especially about her friendship with Jaejoong hyung” Kai added. All nodded.

“Yeah. That too. He seems to be talking with them every day. That kid is very fond of him”

“Shoot. That’s not good” D.O sighed

“Why is that?”

Hitting is head frustrated on the slow thinker D.O explained

“Reya gave up her job to look after the child. Now the child loves Jaejoong hyung.”

“She can act cupid” Chanyeol finished

Yixing’s eyes widened in realisation. He started to have second thoughts in pursuing the girl.

“Well, I came this far for her. I better give it a shot.” He thought out loud

“Be careful Xing. Don’t get ahead with your feelings. Be completely sure before you confess”

Nodding he ended the call.

Meanwhile……

Checking the time difference Kim Jaejoong, on the way home in his manager’s vehicle called Reya. Frowning that the call wasn’t picked up he anxiously tapped the window frame. After around a minute or so, little Sophie answered.

“Appa good morning”

“Heyri-ah, good morning. Where is Ray?”

“She just woke up, now having a wash. I was waking her up but she pushed me away and turned. Ray is bad”

“Don’t say that. Did she come from work late?”

“No. But Xing Xing came and took her somewhere.”

“Xing Xing?” He questioned her.  “YIXING?” The grip on his phone tightened.

The manager startled by his sudden outburst turned to the idol. Jaejoong, overhearing Reya’s voice spoke to the child

“Heyri give the phone to that brat”

“Jaejoong-ssi, good mor-”

“What the hell are you doing woman!” He yelled at her.

The manager, sensing his sudden anger was feeling uneasy. He knows that Jaejoong deeply cares about the child. He grew concerned that something is wrong with her.

“Geez, cool down.”

“What are you doing now?” Jaejoong asked controlling his anger, his brows furrowed.

“Picking up something to wear”

“You usually take your clothes to the bathroom”

Worry turned to shock listening to what the idol was talking with his co-guardian. The manager attentively overheard the conversation wondering where it will lead.

“I can’t be walking around wearing a towel when a man is living with me, can I?”

She shouldn’t have told that because Jaejoong imagined her wearing a towel, water flowing down her hair. To add to the crazy, his heart beat fast. He pictured her neck, her collar bone down her… He shook my head aggressively trying to erase the partly thought that started to build in his mind immediately clearing his throat and shifting the position of his sitting. He now sat up straight, rubbing his suddenly sweaty left palm on his pants and later his right.

“Green, yep. Nah, don’t want an overcoat” He overheard her mumble.

“You better wear one lady. I don’t want men checking you out.”

The manager couldn’t help but re-think the type of friendship they had. This talk strangely sounded like Jaejoong talking to his girl.

“And what’s this talk about Yixing?” He grabbed the water bottle to drink its contents. The thought of her in a towel still lingered in his mind.

“He asked me out”

“Asked out as in a date?” He verified, his voice starting to sound menacing

Though Jaejoong was busy talking with the girl his manager was staring at the slowly disfiguring water bottle in the idol’s grasp. His actions clearly showed signs of
