Another week had passed at Ouran College Academy, and not many eventful things occured the past four days of the week. Everyone attended classes as normal and did their homework and assignments as normal. Nothing out of the ordinary to report. Now that the semester was really starting to pick up momentum, Jin was focused on his studies, thus he wasn’t very phased when he hadn’t heard or talked to that interesting Rin this week. LiNa told him it looked like Rin was focusing on her studies as well and Jin admired that.

 

Now that he thought about it, he did think about Rin a few times here and there. He had to snicker to himself, it seemed so cliché, like he was a main protagonist in some romantic comedy storyline. How soon until we get closer? He thought and looked up at the ceiling. He could picture scenarios playing out of him and her and it made him chuckle a bit, he felt silly… and also, a little happy.

 

“Wah, he’s so beautiful!” The girls sitting around him cooed with awestruck expressions. “What’s he thinking about?! Is he thinking of me?!” One of the girls squealed and started a chain reactions of other squeals.

 

“Jin, I need you to go buy more instant coffee.” N suddenly said from his seat nearby, he even snapped his fingers and pointed to the exit with a sassy expression.

 

“Right now?” Jin asked innocently after snapping out of it.

 

“Yes. Right now.” N nodded, not even sparing him a glance this time.

 

“Can’t it wai-”

 

“Now!”

 

“Okay, okay! Sheesh!” Jin jumped out of his seat. “Sorry ladies, we’ll meet again next week, right?” He asked and flashed them a charming smile before turning around to leave. “And I’m off!”

 

“You got jealous again.” Leo said quietly behind N’s seat with a light chuckle once Jin was out of the room.

 

“So…” N snickered and acted like nothing happened.

 

“You still have the most requests in the host club, I don’t see why you get jealous of Jin’s clients.” Ravi asked while taking a seat next to their leader.

 

“Because…”

 

“Because?” Leo and Ravi asked, waiting for an answer.

 

“Just because!”

 

The two face palmed.

 

💓

 

Jin hummed to himself as he walked down the hallway for the exit when he came across V-I-Double X’s rival host club, Seventeen. Their door was cracked open and he was tempted to look inside in hopes it would satisfy his curiosity. He was blinded by a bright light just then.

 

“S!” Someone suddenly shouted. (Seungkwan)

 

“V!” Another exclaimed. (Hoshi)

 

“T!” (DK)

 

“Say the name, Seventeen!” Now it sounded like a huge crowd talking at once. “Welcome, to the Seventeen host club! Are you ready to slip into that diamond life?” A single handsome person said with a small smirk and a wink. (Jun)

 

“Or you can gyro drop!” Their tallest member added in with a grin. (Mingyu)

 

“Must’ve bumped your heads too hard on that gyro drop to notice it’s me.” Jin said rather amused at their little greeting. Our greeting is better…

 

“It’s Jin!” A few exclaimed, they seemed pretty stunned all of a sudden. (Seungkwan, Hoshi, Mingyu). “It’s the pretty boy!” That was probably why.

 

“What are you doing here?” Their leader asked curiously. What was a rival host club member doing at their club? (S.Coups)

 

“I was passing by and bam… me in.”

 

“Were you impressed?” One asked eagerly, he was one of the youngest one, the youngest one actually. (Chan)

 

“A little.” Jin crossed his arms and shrugged. “Could’ve been better.”

 

“Got any tips?” Another asked innocently. (Minghao)

 

“I don’t think rivals would really help each other.”

 

“We don’t need help anyway.” Jeonghan stepped forward with a smile.

 

“Are you sure, host club number two?” Jin asked with a smirk.

 

“We just started, of course we’re number two.” Jeonghan replied with a scoff, his expression had hints of offense in it before he also smirked back. “But not for long…”

 

“Pardon?” Jin tilted his head a bit confused.

 

“You only have seven members in your little club but we have thirteen. We’ll be able to cater to all the girls with our diverse team and charms.” Seventeen’s shortest member spoke up in a knowing tone, almost like he was stating facts. (Jihoon)

 

“We’ll just have to wait and see how that goes, then.” Jin narrowed his eyes. “Quantity is good, but so is quality.”

“Yah! That’s not nice!” Seungkwan exclaimed with a frown.

 

“Sorry, that was a low blow. You’re all great, forget I said that. I just really don’t want this to be a war…” Jin apologized with a weak smile. “Sometimes I can’t meet will all the girls requesting me, so it’d be nice if they have somewhere to go when I can’t meet with them.”

 

“Are you implying that we’re second choice?!” Another out of the large crowd looked really offended. (Vernon)

 

“Well you are number two right now.” Jin grinned, he went from apology to subtle burn so fast.

 

“As number one, shouldn’t you be back at the club?” Jeonghan stepped forward. “Did you get lost? I’ll walk you back.” He added with a sweet smile, like he was talking to a lost kid!

 

“I didn’t get los-” before Jin could finish his sentence, Jeonghan pushed him out of the room. The other host members looked at each other wondering what that was all about just then? It seemed like Jeonghan had gotten more acquainted with Jin lately or something. That or maybe they just didn’t understand that pretty boys must stick together or something.

 

“Where were we before all of that?” DK asked, he was referring to what they were doing before Jin came by.

“We were just admiring how fabulous I am.” Seungkwan snickered, striking a pose.

 

“Was not.” Vernon laughed.

 

💓

 

“Why-”

 

“You were being rude and I didn’t like that.” Jeonghan interrupted Jin’s question as they were standing outside of the club room.

 

“I didn’t think I was being that harsh.” Jin frowned and looked away from the younger’s serious stare.

 

“I don’t like people speaking that way to my friends… remember that next time, hyung.” That’s right, Jin was also older than Jeonghan and his soccer team of friends. He was only the youngest when it came to his own small team of non sports friends besides Hyuk.

 

“Okay, sorry.” Jin held his hands up in hopes it would break the serious atmosphere and show that he understood he went a little overboard with his words today. “But really, I was just walking by and you all me in there with your lame intro.”

 

“There you go again, being rude.” Jeonghan complained. “Don’t you have anything nice to say about my club?”

 

“No. I don’t.” Jin managed to say with a straight face.

 

“Then don’t say anything at all. I never said anything bad about your club…”

 

“Wah, you’re really snappy today, is something wrong?” Jin chuckled, but he also felt bad. He didn’t think Jeonghan would be this upset about it. “What did I do?”

 

“Nothing…” Jeonghan sighed and ran a hand through his long hair. That was obviously a lie. Honestly, he was a little irritated by Jin since he saw him talking with Rin in the library. They left together, too… He wanted to so badly ask what was going on between him and that beautiful girl but no way. He won’t.

 

“Alright. Totally not buying it, but okay.” Jin shrugged it off. “If you’ll excuse me, I need to go buy some instant coffee.”

 

“Instant coffee? What is that?” Jeonghan asked with a tilt of his head this time.

 

“... you rich people seriously live under a rock, I swear.” Jin laughed at the expression Jeonghan gave at that comment. “It’s coffee, just you don’t have to brew it. You know like hot chocolate packets?” At his even more confused face… “Oh, forget it! It’s like talking to a wall.” He sighed and left.

 

Jeonghan watched Jin leave down the hallway with a small laugh, he thought the boy was the cutest when frustrated. He snapped out of it when he was called back to his club by their leader.

 

“What was that all about?” S.Coups asked.

 

“What do you mean?” Jeonghan replied while they were walking back to their club room.

 

“I didn’t know you were acquainted with that guy? Since when?”

 

“Since, it’s none of your damn business, Cheol.” Jeonghan snapped once again. He entered the club room without the leader who was very confused after that. He wondered why he was like that all of a sudden when it came to Jin? Strange.

 

💓

 

“Oh, Rin! Hey~!” Jin greeted when he spotted her at the college entrance.

 

“H-Hey!” Ren turned around quickly, he was startled a bit at Jin’s sudden greeting.

 

“Were you heading home?” Jin asked after noticing Ren was texting someone just now.

 

“Yeah, but I can’t seem to get a hold of my friends. I don’t know what those losers are up to, ditching me at school like this.” It was Friday, and he somehow managed to get separated from Minhyun again.

 

“Wow, how lame.” Jin frowned. “Well, if you want I can give you a lift?” He quickly offered.

 

“Uh… are you busy?” Ren asked cautiously. He didn’t want to burden him if he was busy.

 

“Well, I just need to run an errand, but it can wait until I drop you off.” He assured him. “My oh so great leader sent me off to get more instant coffee because he was jealous again. So, I don’t think I need to rush or anything.”

 

“Jealous?” Ren held back a laugh. “Why?”

 

“The girls were swooning over me earlier, he always gets jealous when they don’t pay enough attention to him. Such an attention I swear.” Jin muttered, hoping no one else heard that.

 

“I see.” Ren’s laugh died down almost instantly once he heard about the girls. Jin seemed to notice since he flashed him a cute smile and Ren looked away out of embarrassment. He was being obvious, wasn’t he?

 

“Sending me off on an errand is his way of saying, get out, you’re done for today.”

 

“Isn’t that a bit harsh?” Ren frowned. Surely the leader could have done it in a more nicer way?

 

“I don’t care!” Jin snickered. “It’s not like I joined that host club on my own whim.”

 

“You didn’t?”

 

“Ah, shall we continue this in the car?” Jin mentioned while pulling his keys out of his jacket pocket and held them up with a small shake.

“Sure.” Ren nodded before following him to the parking lot.

 

Once they were inside and buckled up, Jin started to explain why he was in the host club. It all started Spring semester last year when Jin first started at the academy. He was there on a scholarship for spectacular grades. “You know that anime, Ouran High School Host Club?” Jin asked looking over at Ren.

 

“... yeah, I think so.” He knows. He knows full well. His life was pretty much like the main character’s, just the opposite gender and different circumstances, how could he not know about that anime?

 

“Well, I guess I don’t need to explain any further?” Jin chuckled and sat back in his seat.

 

“What?” Ren’s eyes widened a little. If he remembered correctly, the main protagonist was a girl playing as a boy in the popular host club. “So you’re…?”

 

“I’m what?” He was confused by Ren’s shocked face.

 

“A girl?”

 

“... what?!” Now Jin was shocked and honestly that raised a major red flag for Ren. “No! I meant that I’m in the same situation as Haruhi! With the, in debt to the host club for breaking N’s prized dance trophy he stupidly had out in the open!” The way Ren was looking at Jin made the boy nervous, like he knew he was lying or something…

 

“That .” Ren finally said a moment later. “If it was an accident, I don’t see why you’re forced to join the host club?”

 

“Yeah, I feel the same…” Jin said with a small sigh of relief. “But after a while, I got used to it.”

 

“Used to what?” Ren asked, suspicious eyes on him again.

 

“Being a host?” It was clear that Jin was nervous now. Something is up. Ren thought to himself.

 

They stared at each other for what seemed like forever. There were so many thoughts running through both their minds… Who is Jin, really? Ren thought before breaking away from his stare. So many red flags now…

 

“I should take you home now!” Jin blurted out, turning the car on and putting it in gear.

 

The drive there was silent.

 

💓

 

“What?” Ren asked when he saw his friends Minhyun and Aron pouting across the table from him. They were currently out eating lunch in a local cafe and were waiting for their order to arrive to the table. He was sipping on his soda while waiting until he noticed his friends pouty expressions. “What?! What is it?!” He was getting frustrated when they wouldn’t answer him.

 

“We thought we were having lunch with Rin today.” Aron finally answered.

 

“Really?” Ren let out a defeated sigh and covered his face. His friend sure got used to seeing Rin every day, didn’t they?! He wasn’t dressed as Rin today, if it wasn’t clear by Aron’s confession. Since he wouldn’t be around his grandmother today now that it was the weekend, he thought it was safe to dress normally for once. Dressing as Rin was fun sometimes but he really didn’t want to lose himself in that fake identity. He needed to be Ren today before he goes insane.

 

“Is it exhausting living as two characters?” Minhyun asked with a sympathetic chuckle.

 

“Yes.” Ren answered with another sigh, a longer one this time. “I’m not sure if I can really keep it up for the rest of the year.”

 

“What seems to be the most troubling part? The clothes?” Aron asked and Ren shook his head and claimed that he liked the clothes, they were nice and fun. “The heels?” He shook his head but had to admit it does hurt sometimes, but he likes the sound they make when walking on tiled floors and the sidewalk, it made him feel powerful for some silly reason and his friends laughed while he pouted. “Makeup?” Again, Ren shook his head. He liked makeup, he was still even wearing some now! Just a bit of eyeliner and concealer to cover up his dark circles from lack of sleep lately.  “Jin.” Aron suddenly grinned and Ren froze in his seat at the mere name. “I guessed right, didn’t I?” He turned to Minhyun who nodded.

 

“Shut up. It’s not that!” Ren snapped out of it.

 

“Sure it’s not.” Aron teased. “Oh, look, it’s Jin!” He pointed behind Ren and the guy suddenly whipped his head around to see for himself and he whimpered at the small pain in his neck.

 

“Jerk.” Ren muttered while turning back with a pain expression. “I only looked so I could see if I could hide.”

 

“Why do you need to hide from him?” Minhyun asked with a hint of laughter. “He doesn’t know you as Ren.” He had a point.

“It’s probably because he’s become Rin on the inside!” Aron joked.

 

“Stop.” Ren glared before it faltered.

 

“What?” They asked, he looked troubled suddenly.

 

“If he saw me with you two, he might find it odd. What if he’s smart and recognizes me?” Now he looked panicked. “I have to go. Later!” He jumped up from his seat and began to flee.

 

“Wait, Ren! What about your food!” Minhyun called after him but he was already out of the building. “Wow… he’s gotten really paranoid.”

 

“Do you blame him?” Aron pointed out. “Maybe we shouldn’t about that anymore. What if he really is confused?”

 

“Yeah, we shouldn’t do that to him anymore. What kind of friends would we be if we made fun of his suffering?” Minhyun was in agreement. “And… if he really does like Jin, we should be supportive about it.”

 

“Exactly.” Aron nodded. “We should let the other two know about this as well.”

 

“... weren’t we the only ones teasing Ren about it though?” Minhyun pointed out and Aron gave a sheepish laugh. “It’s okay.” He also laughed just as their food arrived to the table. Minhyun asked if they could get a to go plate for Ren’s food since he bailed on them. They’d bring it to him later.

 

💓

 

“Damn, I should have ran away after eating.” Ren muttered while holding his growling stomach. He had been walking around for a bit now and window shopped here and there. He was about to decide if he should go back to the restaurant or go home and order something. His outing with his friends as Ren didn’t seem to go that well because he got paranoid about bumping into Jin. I really doubt we’d bump into each other, the city is so big as is! It’d be a miracle.

 

And a miracle it was. He bumped into Jin and Minnie once he turned around the corner. “Sorry!” He apologized when he saw Minnie fall back onto her little bottom with a small shriek. She ended up dropping the ice cream she was holding, too. Jin was shocked and about to kneel down to help his sister up, but Ren beat him to it and was already helping the little girl up. Minnie started to cry while Ren dusted off her little dress and apologized so sincerely. “I’m so sorry, sweetie!” Once Minnie looked up at him and saw Ren’s apologetic smile, her tears died down quickly.

 

“It’s okay.” The little girl managed to say just as Jin knelt down to check on her. “I’m okay!”

 

“That’s good!” Jin was glad and had a bright smile on his face. Ren couldn’t help but still get starstruck, even today when he wasn’t Rin. Damn. “I’m sorry, I should have made sure no one was coming around the corner!” Jin apologized to Ren and bowed several times. If Ren didn’t know any better, he would say Jin was blushing since his cheeks were tinted pink after locking eyes with him. Something about that made Ren happy. Why?

 

“Don’t worry about it, I should have paid more attention as well.” Ren assured Jin, his voice was naturally deeper and it seemed so different since he was so used to talking to Jin in his Rin voice, his feminine voice. He was lucky he didn’t slip up just now.

 

Jin’s cheeks turned a shade darker and it was amusing to Ren of course. It was the first time he saw the boy get flustered, and he couldn’t help but be glad it was from himself. Imagining Jin getting flustered by anyone else seemed to bother Ren lately. And it was clear why. I must’ve really fallen for him… And it’s only been three weeks since the semester started!

 

“My ice cream!” Minnie suddenly snapped them out of their small moment. They had locked eyes and stared at one another for a moment before the little girl complained.

 

“Oh!” Jin turned his attention back to his sister. “Here, you can have mine!” He knelt down to hand it over but the little girl refused. “No?”

 

“I don’t like mint!” Minnie stuck her tongue out.

 

“Let me buy her another ice cream.” Ren spoke up. “To make up for knocking her down.”

 

“Uh…” Jin seemed at a loss for words. Once again, it was amusing to Ren since Jin was always such a talkative and charming character, it was nice to see him get shy and quiet for once, it was… cute.

 

“Ice cream!” Minnie cheered and reached up at Ren with grabby hands, implying she wanted to be picked up. He seemed surprised about that before looking to Jin and asked if it was alright to do so. Jin nodded quietly with a small smile. With permission, Ren picked Minnie up. Right away the little girl wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a hug. It was so sweet but… kind of weird given that they only met today, as in, they only met him as Ren today. , does this kid know? Here came the paranoia again!

 

💓

 

“I want three scoops of chocolate!” Minnie said happily once she saw all the different flavors of ice cream again. Ren was still holding her while Jin stood in front of them. He was watching the two interacting with a pleased smile.

 

“No, that’s too much.” Ren kindly turned down her request. “How about one since you were already eating one before we bumped into each other?”

 

“I want three!” The girl pouted and proceeded to give him those puppy eyes. He only chuckled and shook his head. She intensified her pleading look and he still shook his head.

 

“One scoop of chocolate, please.” He said to the clerk behind the counter.

 

“But… but…” the little girl’s bottom lip quivered as she threatened to cry.

 

“I have to say no, no matter how cute you are.” Ren laughed.

 

That’s when Jin noticed something. He recalled telling Rin that a while ago when they were going to pick up Minnie from daycare. Now that I think about it, this guy does remind me of Rin… he wasn’t sure why he didn’t think of that sooner. He knew something seemed odd and familiar with this guy. Maybe Rin has a twin or something?

 

Once they got Minnie’s second serving of ice cream, they headed to the back of the parlor to sit down so she could eat it. Both Ren and Jin sat by and watched the little girl with adoring smiles as she ate the ice cream messily. Halfway through, Ren made sure to grab a napkin and wiped her little face off. It was adorable and Jin couldn’t handle it. What’s gotten into me? He thought and snapped out of it. It’s obvious this guy is unbelievably handsome… I can’t fall for every guy I see! He lightly slapped his cheeks in hopes it would knock those thoughts and feelings out.

 

“Is everything okay?” Ren asked and Jin froze in his seat.

 

“Uh, yeah. I just need the bathroom. Excuse me!” Jin blurted out and got up to head over to the single bathroom in the back. He was gone a moment later.

 

“Your brother seems kind of shy.” Ren said after turning back to Minnie who was now finished with her ice cream.

 

“How did you know he’s my brother, handsome oppa?” She asked with a small smile, if she recalls, they really didn’t properly introduce themselves since they walked to the ice cream parlor in silence and Jin had barely spoken up about anything. Ren was taken aback by that question. Damn. “What if he’s my appa?” Ren was definitely not paying attention.

 

“Sorry, I just assumed since he looks so young-”

 

“I know it’s you, pretty unnie.” Minnie interrupted him. Instantly, Ren felt like the color drained from his face. I knew it, this kid is smart! “Do you like dressing up, as well?” She asked with a curious look in her expression.

 

“As well?” Ren repeated. Just before he was going to ask about that, Jin returned from the bathroom. He seemed different now when he got back to the table, he seemed less nervous and more talkative, he even had that infamous charming smile on his lips.

 

“Thanks for buying Minnie’s ice cream. Shall we get going?” He suggested.

 

“Where?” Ren suddenly felt himself turning into the shy and flustered one now! This wasn’t supposed to happen.

 

“Have you eaten yet?” Jin asked. “We can drop Minnie off and go get some lunch together, what do you say?”

 

“I want to come too!” Minnie whined.

 

“No, you need to go home and take a nap.” Jin chuckled and ruffled her hair up a little. The little girl smacked his hand away with puffed up cheeks. “See, you’re getting cranky!” Seeing Jin tease his little sister made Ren chuckle. He could see Jin looked back at him with those tinted cheeks but his charming persona managed to somewhat stay. Crap.

 

The group of three left the ice cream parlor shortly after and headed to Jin’s mother’s house to drop off Minnie like he said they would. The siblings had left on foot, but that didn’t mean he and Ren would have to continue on foot, so they took his car from the driveway. Ren wasn’t sure if he liked where this was going now that he was in Jin’s car. It was quiet besides the music playing on the car speakers. He recognized it to be a Lady GaGa song and he couldn’t help but smile.

 

“Do you like Lady GaGa?” Jin asked when they came up to a stoplight.

 

“Uh… yeah. She’s unique, I like her style.” Ren managed to say calmly without stuttering.

 

“Does Rin also like Lady GaGa?” It became silent again. . “I didn’t notice before, but after leaving to the bathroom I noticed how familiar Minnie was being with you.” Ren wasn’t sure what to say now and opted to stay silent. “I had a feeling something was different about you when we first met.” Jin continued to talk. “I am kind of curious on why you present yourself as Rin at school? But you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. It’s none of my business anyway, really.”

 

He wasn’t sure why, but he really wanted to tell Jin his story, but he was worried. He wondered how things would be afterwards, how would Jin treat him after this? He was feeling a bit sad to think Jin wouldn’t seem interested in him like he did before, despite that was his wishful thinking, he had convinced himself that Jin was growing fond of his Rin character by the way he compliments her and charms her. He didn’t want to assume that Jin wouldn’t be fond of his Ren character now. He didn’t want to assume Jin liked guys. But honestly, Ren was the same. He doesn’t believe he’s attracted to guys either, but he’s attracted to Jin.

 

“Are you okay?” Jin’s voice snapped him out of it. That soft and gentle voice, that voice that didn’t sound like it hit puberty yet and the guy is supposed to be 22? He looked up to see Jin’s worried expression on his face, that suspiciously pretty face that not even he has himself. Even with the help of makeup, Ren can’t really hide his strong jaw or adam’s apple. Jin seemed to always wear something around his neck too, he’s worn turtlenecks a lot lately and he looked really good in them so Ren hadn’t thought about it too much until today. Even now, Jin was wearing a black turtleneck under his boyish jacket. He started to think about all those red flags again. Could Jin also have a secret, too? “Rin?”

 

“It’s Ren.” He corrected and looked out the window.

 

“Sorry.” Jin gave a sheepish chuckle. “Did you want me to take you home? We don’t have to eat lunch together. You seem to be a little upset, so I understand.”

 

“Yeah, take me home. Please.” It was difficult for Ren to look at Jin now, his chest ached a bit. It seemed like whether or not he was spotted with his friends, Jin was going to find out anyway.

 

The drive to Ren's grandparents estate didn't take long and as expected it was silent the whole drive besides the faint music playing on the car speakers. When they arrived, Ren didn't say anything and got out before heading inside. He didn't bother looking back once.

 

“Oh, you weren't home?” His grandfather asked when he saw his grandson come through the living room so he could head upstairs to his room. “What's the matter? What happened?” The elder asked when he saw Ren wipe the tears from his eyes.

 

“Nothing.” He managed to reply. “Did you already eat lunch?” The elder nodded. “Good.” He said before he headed up to his room and left his poor grandfather downstairs confused and worried.

 

The elder wanted to head up and see what was going on until he noticed a car parked out front in the driveway. That was his cue to head outside and see if it was that Jin guy Ren had talked about before. And sure enough…

 

“I'm sorry, I'll leave!” Jin assured the old man once he saw him approach his car. He was worried if he was like one of them grumpy elders who tell kids to get off their lawn, in this case, his driveway.

 

“No, don't leave yet!” The elder held his hand out signalling for him to stop. “I just came out here to see what was going on?” He added and could see Jin’s expression sadden.

 

“I might have figured out your grandson's secret. He seemed pretty upset, I'm sorry. I don't know if he thinks I'm going to tell everyone because I'm not. I wouldn't do that, I'm not that kind of person. I hope he knows that.”

 

“I'm sure he knows that.” The elder gave a kind smile.

 

“If so, I don't know why he's acting like this? He got out of my car so quick, as if we had an argument and he's angry and stormed off without a word!”

 

“Maybe he was angry that he got caught. It's been difficult for him lately with having to attend school every day as someone he's not. Did he tell you about it?”

 

“No, I told him he didn't have to, though I'm still curious. But It's none of my business so he doesn't have to tell me. I won't pry into it.”

 

“You're really sweet, Jin.” The elder smiled.

 

“How'd you know my name?”

 

“He talks about you a lot when he's home.” He explained. “It seems he's grown quite fond of you and I can see why.”

 

“Really? Gosh, I hope he's not thinking I'd stop being his friend over this! I really don't care about the cross dressing at all! I'm actually impressed how he can pull it off so well, he sure fooled me!” He said with a sheepish laugh.

 

“And you sure fooled him.” The elder chuckled when Jin stared at him in shock. “If he decides to be truthful to you, I hope you will be truthful in return as well.” Jin was at a loss for words and just continued to stare. “You can go now. We'll see you again sometime soon, I hope.”

 

“Uh, sure.” Jin managed to say softly. “Bye for now.” He was able to give a kind smile before backing out of the driveway and finally left. The elder watched Jin drive away down the street and let out a small sigh. “She really has Ren fooled, impressive.”
