CHAPTER 03: A Big Bear's Little Fruit Part 02

Somewhere in a huge glass office, the newly appointed Seo familyhead, Sen Ji-Hu is on the verge of loosing his temper and going against all family etiquettes. He had just payed a visit to the Seo ancestral home when he got the news from his Ven grandfather of his supposed 'secret relationship' with a nameless actor.

As a newly appointed familyhead of the second most powerful family after the Imperial family, many eyes and ears are intently focused on him. The Seo family are affiliates of the Imperial family. They are the second family to successfully birth at least one perfect sss gene level 'cub' within every generation.

A perfect sss gene level cub is born with already developed special abilities and accelerated growth. They differentiate into their sub gender at the age of 5 but don't have their heat until 16. They also have a more prolonged lifespan compared to other lower Grade genes. The average life of a Grade A to Grade AAAA+ is 250 star-years. From Grade S+ going, there's 60 star-years years additional age and power enhacement with each advancing stage. Grade SSSS and Grade SSSS+ are basically half immortals as their age doubles the overall additional age of each growth stage and they attain the power to create their own 'worlds', using the giant 'rocks' floating in the 'black-hole' of the Unirse. These giant 'rocks' have an infinite amount of energy and space.

Ji-Hu's female father is an SSSS+ Sen. She is the first born of the Seo family and was the previous familyhead before passing on the title to Ji-Hu. But she is still the Imperial Prime Minister of the Great Korie Empire. Her Imperial Ladyship Seo SeulGi had him(JH) when she was 350 star-years with her wife. Her wife hailing from the 'Legendary Beasts Star' realm. They are spiritual beings who transforms into legendary magical beasts with special elemental powers and they live in the stars. The higher their cultivation, the more elements they can easily master. They also are highly intelligent spiritual beings. Ji-Hu's 'birth' mother is a pure white Polar bear. A great fighter in her realm. She followed the Imperial Empress when the young princess was first married to the Imperial family and is assigned as the second 'Grand Protector' of the Great Korie Empire. That is how Ji-Hu got the title 'Imperial Exellency' from his birth. And also the nickname 'Balancer of the Unirse'.

When he turned 20 he officially begun his training as the next familyhead so his female Sen 'Father' can focus on the Empire and other important stuffs.

The Seo old patriach and Matriach are both already in their mid 500's. They love their little grandson like a treasurre but are strict when it comes to a marriage partner. The position which their family hold is highly converted by a lot of people who don't know much or anything, about the inner gritty of the 'Imperial-class' family and the Seo family is a place where discipline and hardwork is required. There are many rules and regulations every child must adhere to, if not be ready to solely fend for yourself. Although very strict, these rules are what has guided and helped maintain peace within the family.

After having to assure the old Sen patriach and Ven grandfather that he definitely didn't know anything about suddenly getting a 'lover', they started to nag him about when he plans to get married. Both of their two children got married very late in life and only had a total of just 3 grandchildren for them. The elderly couple wish for their grandchildren to marry early unlike their children. Ji-Hu is the only child of his parents. Whilest his mother's only Sen brother has two children.

Now he(JH) is in his office 'staring' at the said uncle sitting across from him.

"It's too bad you are a part of the Seo family. I would have already kicked you to the curb by now. You don't deserve the name" Ji-Hu says. His baritone voice held no emotion like his golden brown with black rings eyes.

The other man choked on the harsh words. He couldn't retort because he knew the young family head meant his words. He thought of a way to rebuff and scold this brat but the young Sen spoke again.

"This should be the last time you do such nonsense. I am yet to deal with your past offenses. Don't give me an excuse to separate your head from your body.... Uncle" Ji-Hu casually warned still with no trace of emotion on his godly face.

"Take a trip to the ancestral temple and pay your respect there for the next 6 moon-months. If you feel it's too much, then add two more moon-months and appeal to grandfathers" his tone was final.

This gave the elder Sen gooseflesh in an instant. How can a 25 star-years old Sen be so intimidating?

'If only I had inherited the blood of the pure breed Sen and married Na Un, I should be sitting in that position. Not this damn bastard!!!'

"Want me to do it now?" Ji-Hh raised a brow, his big hand turning into a azure white big paw with thick long crystal claws for 'nails', his domineering pheromones already suppressing the weaker pheromones of the elder Sen.

The elder man hurriedly scrambles out of the huge office, cursing in his heart.

Later that night:

Ji-Hu arrived at the beach house by 7pm with a private helicopter. The beach house is on an Island very far from any city. It belongs to the Imperial family but now it is exclusively for the Monarchys. It is their 'little' playground to relax and unwind whenever they need a break. He arrived exactly when dinner was almost ready. There were servants on the rooftop who handled his luggage as he made his way down stairs and straight to the open overly specious outdoor dining area.

There he sees almost everyone in the four groups preparing and eating dinner. Some are busy grilling meat, some are eating and chatting around.

He sees an empty seat beside Sen Eli (PurpleMoney) and goes to sit down. He greets his friends as he starts to dish food for himself. He is always hungry. And dealing with his uncle before coming made him annoyed to hunger.

"Well look at that. The man in a secret relationship with the famous 'chica' actor, uri Seo Ji-Hu-ssi is here~" Crown-Prince Minjun (MoneyGhouls) welcomes 'enthusiastically'.

"What's got your panties in a twist little devil?" Ji-Hu calmly asked with a raised brow. "And please I only do real beings not air"

MinJun was stunned for a moment before the  understanding hit him.

"So it is a lie you are dating the 'dude', Sen Polar-ssi?" DaeJung leans over his older brother to interrogate the young family head.

Hyunjae who was about to pick a cheesy corndog :"...."

"It is just the usual idiot trying to hype his company. As I said I only do real beings not air" the Sen said non challantly. He picked the cheesy corndog and a pack of cookies from the table and began to eat one after the other.

Hyunjae scowls at his clan leader and was ready to retort but another corndog taps his mouth.

He turns to the person sitting on the other side of DaeJung, and the Hexan Sen from MoneyGhouls, Ming ChanQi, gave a barely noticeable wink.

Hyunjae:"..."

"Now I get it!!" Min Subin and Crown Prince Yeong-Gi (PurpleMoney) crumble in laughter. Followed by the others.

"Someone needs to call the maknaes.." Yong-Ju double tap the back of his left ear and walked away from the table.

"Little Fruit didn't come?" Ji-Hu questions no one in particular still munching on the cookies.

Crown Prince MinJun and Ian Woosung looked at each other then blinked. Silently agreeing on something only they understood.

"I think he got his heart broken a few 'days' ago so uri cutiepie Woolie dragged him, aegi ChanChan and a few friends, and took a random trip to Country AusRa" WooSung shrugs

Some clan members looked at the so called 'pure' Sen in silent 'judging'. The fact he is bestfriends with the cunning Crown Prince of the Northern State shows how crooked he really is. But they just can't help but watch and judge the two in silence everytime.

"Christopher Gu. The leader of the new money group 'Levitators' offered him a tour of his family's grape plantation and winery" MinJun adds.

Ji-Hu flitly paused his movements but continued. His eyes flashed with a blink it was gone.

"Isn't he too young to be trying wine?"

"He'll be 18 in a moon-month and the little Sen Christopher-ssi promised to give him a few antique wines as gifts. So this is just the right time to receive quality free wine" MinJun responds with a smile.

"Speaking of 18 I wonder if he would finally start dating soon" Han-Ju(MoneyGhouls) thought out loud.

"Unless the Sen(s) or gamas are ready for a few rounds of toughness then he can try having a boyfriend" YeongCheol scoffs walking in with a big platter of seasoned meat. His eyes stayed on Ji-Hu for a bit before turning away.

"Right behind ya hyung" ChanQi and Hyunwool nods, backing their leader's words.

"And that also applies to Woolie-ah and ChanChan" The beautiful Ven Minjun gave the Second Imperial Prince who was sitted not too far away from him, the stink eyes.

"....."

'Pretend to be air' he told himself... 'Not a good day to die'

"I think the Gu heir has a crush on Gwannie-ah though" WenYan suddenly reveals.

"I think they'd be soo cute together" MinJun squeals

"I thought you didn't want him dating?" Nayeon from RogueGentlemen raised a brow.

"Yes I don't want him dating" Minjun nods

"??"

"Dating old bears"

"...ppffftt~~"

Haa~ahah~~aaaaha~~

Old bear Sen Ji-Hu:....

"Then I can start 'observing' this Christopher Gu" Yeongcheol squints

"Stop acting like you didn't rob the cradle yourself" Eli gave him a side look.

"That's not true!!" Yeongcheol dramatically gasps. Imperial Crown Prince of the Empire who just walked in with a half awake Imperial Crown Prince(ss) buried to his side, chuckles.

"Wrong person to accuse hyung" DaeHa laughs

"True" Eli chuckles

With everyone talking about the topic of the second youngest dating, no one noticed how quiet the Seo family head had become. Or the potruding moving jaw muscle as he keeps chomping down on the red velvet cake.

Well except.....

MinJun and WooSung smirked at each other.
