Park Han Jun and J-Son were practicing for his song 'Resist Love' alone as usual, but something was wrong with J-Son. He had got dark circles around his eyes for some reason and was dancing like the air balloon doll that stands in front of a store.
"Are you okay? You can take rest if you want?", Han Jun asked. He was worried for him as he had been practicing the routine and keeping up with his other song's routine almost everyday.
Kim In Sik went and held the wall for support, "No, I'm fine I can carry on all fine", he gave a thumbs up. A moment after he slowing went down making a screeching sound with his nails on the wall like he was a ghost from a horror movie.
Han Jun smiled, 'He really thinks I can't see him struggling?', he thought to himself.
"You know what, J-Son?".
"Yes, my king?", In Sik replied. He had been watching dramas and reading manhwas all night from a few days. Little does he remember he spouts non sense when he gets too tired to exist as said by his Manager Kim Man Soo.
Han Jun's eyes widened, he didn't know what to say to that. He knelt down like a knight and extended his hand looking at In Sik who looked like a bug hanging on for dear life on the wall.
In Sik looked at him, " I meant- Ha. . .", his hand slipped as he fell backwards. The knight without the armor caught him gently. That moment J-Son came back to his senses because of the sudden tension he felt staring at his eyes. Slowly blinking as he came back to the present era of just him struggling to take rest.
"Actually today I was planning to go back soon to go to my parents house", he smiled. He took the towel he had in his hand to rub of the sweat off his face gently, "How about you join me today, for a change?".
J-Son Grabbed the towel instantly, "What-Why?", he asked as he moved slightly towards the wall. 'Why's he asking me to join him? Don't tell me it's because I took him to my Devil father's place. . .', he thought to himself.
"My parents renovated a small area in our house to make a cafe. My mother wanted me to try some of what she's planning for the menu".
He got up and extended a hand for In Sik to grab, "My mom is a good cook, Maybe you will feel better after eating all the delicious food she has prepared".
"Really? I could join? What if Hyung calls me for something. . . Maybe I ca-".
"Don't worry", Han Jun lifts his arm awkwardly and gives a thumbs up, "I already informed I am meeting my parents. I will say you are not feeling well so you are taking rest".
J-Son giggled, "You didn't have to pose so awkwardly for that, Han Jun. I am ready to go anywhere if there's food to taste". J-Son went ahead and did the same pose that he made fun of. Han Jun stroked the back of his head smiling widely thinking, ' I wanted to cheer him but he made me happier than ever as usual'.
--------------------------------
"Uncle, why is the person from Music show here?", Han Jun's niece Ae Rin asked looking at J-Son. He lifted her up and carried her. They were sitting on the sofa opposite to where Han Jun's mother was sitting at.
"Yes, I am friends with him now".
"H-Hi", J-Son said shyly to shake Ae Rin's hand. He was happy to know that even children knew of him.
"What's your real name, son? I find it weird to call you J-Son when you are right in front of us", Han Jun's mother Kim Han Na said.
"Hello, My name is Kim In Sik".
As In Sik said his name, they all heard a voice coming towards them increasing in it's sound level. When it grew nearer huffing sounds started and there came a woman with dust all over her face, " What- DO YOU MEan? Han Jun you brought J-Son with you?? REALLY?".
"Really? On the day I look like this?", her face and outfit looked like a mess.
Han Jun laughed, "You looked like that everyday since you are doing the renovation, Noona". Ae Rin was laughing too at her aunt's craziness.
Kim In Sik had no choice but to smile awkwardly. "I'm sorry for coming here without notice".
"NO No", she came near by moved a step back when she realized she had dust all over her, " You don't have to be, even if you come during midnight the doors will be open for you".
"Noona, please don't make it hard for him by acting like this"
"Yes, Uncle. Aunt is acting weird".
Han Jun put her down and patted her head as he said, "Let's introduce us to him now, okay ae Rin?". Ae Rin nodded and held J-Son's hand.
"I'm sorry I didn't introduce you to everyone. This is my mother Han Na and this is my sister Byeol", he got up and pointed at them both, "And this cutiepie here is my brother's daughter Ae Rin".
In Sik bowed to them but Byeol was shyly moving away feeling like it was wrong of her to make an angel like him to bow. He asked , "And your brother and father where are they?". J-Son knew the members in his family because of all the treats Park Han Jun got for him from his home.
Han Na got up from the Sofa she was taking a break at, " Seong Jin and his wife Chae Won are in the cafe. My husband is busy so he'll be late. Why don't you sit down while I prepare food for you and Junie to taste?".
"Oh yes, Han Jun said I have to be taste tester with him at your cafe. I said yes without a doubt because Han Jun is such a good cook so I know it will be the best".
Han Na looked at Han Jun and smiled suspiciously, " After all I taught him so I will definitely be better than him. Be ready to taste".
"Mom, until then we'll be at the cafe. Right, Junie?", Byeol said in a loud voice even though her mother was a meter away. She pushed Han Jun away and asked, "So J-Son can I get an autograph afterwards?". Ae Rin who was holding In Sik's hand was questioning her mature aunt's sanity.
The cafe construction was almost complete but was dusty from all the wood work done in the place. Park Byeol designed it's interiors with her team. Han Jun's brother Seong Jin joins in whenever he was free together with his wife to help in Byeol. Everyone was so fond of J-Son, speaking about all the stuff they heard about him. They were generous enough to not mention the scandal. Then Ae Rin started dragging him all around to show what she chose for the cafe decors.
Han Na prepared the snakes and pastries she had kept ready. The table looked a heaven for all eaters. She came in the cafe, the dusty area was almost cleaned. She called everyone over to eat soon.
"Mom, I will change and be back soon. Let J-Son and Junie eat first", Byeol said as she quickly ran out. Seong Jin looked at the running Byeol as he said, "We too will be back after cleaning, let these two go ahead". Chae Won nodded her head, "Yes, We'll change and come back to eat soon". They had been working since the morning their clothes were all a mess. Han Jun and J-Son stayed away from the dusty areas just like Ae Rin so they went ahead.
In Sik had too many words to say looking at the table, "Soo much stuff to taste?! Ya, Han Jun your mom is so much better than you just by the looks of it".
"You can taste all of it, I made enough for everyone", Han Na said. In Sik's Mouth was watering. It was like a feast and he had not been to one in a while. Ae Rin laughed looking at his expression, "Son Uncle, even you are as weird as my aunt. My Grandma's food is the best, right?".
"Yes it is the best! The aroma is already pulling me in. Let's start eating, Han Jun!!".
Han Jun and his mother were smiling through his excitement. "Eat slowly, you don't have to rush In Sik".
"Oh, yes, mom. Thank you for such delicious food!".
Park Han Jun was trying to sit down but suddenly hit himself to the table when J-Son called his mother 'Mom'. That was the first time he called her that way. Han Na knew something was going on with Han Jun. She gave that suspicious smile to him again.
'Am I in heaven right now?', In Sik thought while munching on a special sandwich, 'I hope this day never ends. . .'
