-Old James And Aunty-

After talking to Fatty on the cellphone, Jc sat up straight and stretched because his body hurt from sit sleeping on a chair for a long time.

"Why didn't clap1x wake me up? Oh right, I let him go up first... Aww, neck hurts." He stood up while massaging his neck.

"What's this?" Jc picked up the blanket that was on the ground beside him.

*Phone Rings*

"Okay, okay. I'm coming." Arranging his clothes on, he took the blanket and hurriedly left as he answered the phone.

"Alright, you three. Your oldest brother is almost here. I'm getting tired of you, four. In and out of my police station, and is this your new brother?" Trio and Fatty are talking to a middle-aged policeman. Who seems to be close to them, at the entrance of the police station they just exited.

"Yeah, Old James. Meet our youngest now, Fatty-." Right after finishing the sentence of the curly man of one the trio. He got smacked in the back of his neck by the policeman.

"You! You haven't learned your lesson, huh."

"You guys should stop bullying Elder James now. You don't want to ruin his reputation for being a tyrant at criminals to being a puppy."

Old James' mouth gives a slight twitch hearing this familiar voice, though he has known these kids for a few years now. He still can't get used to their attitudes toward him, especially this big brother of them despite their behavior, he treated them as his own family.

He wanted to teach them a lesson harshly since he first met them, but Old James couldn't because they have a backing that even he has to bend his knees to survive. But he steeled his heart and decided to beat this brat now.

"*You think I won't touch just because you have a powerful person supporting you? It's unfortunate, but your uncle will teach you a lesson now to man up.*" Facing Jc, Old James was getting ready to pinch the ear and drag him inside, but when he was about to do it, he suddenly froze on the spot when he saw Jc's hand lifting something on his face.

His angry eyes became pitiful, and his sinister smile became the smile of an angel who just descended from heaven to bring joy.

"I saw that, James! What are you just about to do now!? How dare you lay a hand on the kids!" An angry woman shouted was heard in the cellphone held by Jc facing Old James.

"Honey! I-i haven't done anything. I did not even touch him yet!" Old James was shaking when he answered.

"Yet?! So you plan to?"

"Did I say that? You must be imagining, honey. Look here, did you know these three idiots beat their older brother! I have proof! That's why they're here. I was just teaching them a lesson!" Old James was ecstatic as he said this. He felt like he had gained an advantage at last in a court hearing where it was going for three years now.

Before the three could counter, they heard a shout on the phone again.

"Okay. You boys got the nerve to broke our family rules again, huh. You boys better come home tonight or else! And you Jc, turn the camera on you. We will have a serious talk. You worried us all, so you better not come up with an excuse tonight." Said the woman on the video call.

Jc felt guilty seeing her this way. This woman was like a second mom to him, but he only wrote a letter before leaving.

Fatty watched them with amazement. He wondered, how would it be like to have a family like that. Sighing as he tried to leave, he didn't want to bother their family talk.

He only came here because when he met the trio, they mentioned Jc when the police were about to arrest them. He tried to talk it out with them, but it didn't work. Instead, he also got detained.

Along the way, they got to know each other. They discovered that four of them got ditched by Jc in the same place. The four laughed at this situation as they continued to get to know each other.

"Aunty, someones doesn't want to go tonight." Jc turned his phone in the direction where Fatty was going.

"Where are you going, youngest? If you're ten minutes late tonight, you'll regret it."

Fatty was surprised for a bit and said with a smile.

"I won't, Aunty!"

"Is this really the place?"

Jc looked at checked the address on his phone again. His aunty canceled the dinner at the last minute at her house and instead booked a restaurant.

"A restaurant, huh? I thought they don't like to eat in this kind of place, not to mention a luxury one." He just stood there enjoying the view of the building outside.

"Jc?"
