"To come and tell you, lunch is ready. Or else, you guys want me to bring it here?" Jace arched a brow at the shorter male.

Elijah crossed his arms. "If you want to bring it, you can." He looked up to the other who remained still.

"That... was optional, I'm eating on the table." He continued. Jace took time to look at the two individuals behind his Jah.

"Do you want me to bring it, though? Seriously."

"No, maybe they'd like to." Elijah nodded towards Kai and Dom: "But, I'm eating at the table."

Jace just nodded, he looked at Elijah's back: "Are you guys coming?"

"Yep, we are."

The four of them walked out, only to hear a loud scream from the back.

"KITKAT!!! DOG!!! HELP!!" A scream echoed through the kitchen.

Kitkat? Dog? It couldn't be...

"Unexpected visitors, Àixīn vlog group, sheesh, damn it." Kai groaned.

Àixīn vlog group, a seven-membered squad that was close (not really) with Zàijiàn. They were a group who seemed to copy their own cousins.

Yep, you got that right. Cousins. For Zàijiàn, it was okay since they were blood-related and the group itself was formed by their own family. By that, it means the Jimenez-Xiaos and Harisson-Wangs. So no problem at all copying the idea of being a vlog group, it's just usual. The only thing the other party hated about the other is... The flirting and personal question asker.

For example, one person sees another and asks him to be in a relationship along with questions that gets too... personal.

"Oh goodness, at least Kitkat's here." Dominic huffed, and they continued to walk out of the room. When the four reached the kitchen, indeed, it was Àixīn, as expected.

"I need to stay away from Ace," Elijah whispered to the three. He gagged as he remembered what Ace had done when they were alone.

"Oh yeah, that motherfucking flirt," Jace said in a flat tone through his fake smile.

Once they entered the kitchen, the members of Zàijiàn were barely speaking. Meanwhile, Àixīan were making themselves... eh, comfortable.

"My goodness, they've caused a mess..." Kai flinched. The whole kitchen was no longer as it was supposed to be. It now looked like a jungle with bunch of squirrels digging food because of twenty-four seven hunger.

Once the squad noticed the others, they'd become wilder. One came up to Dominic and dragged him and vlogged suddenly.

Kiara was hiding behind her girlfriend. No body dares to come near her, or else, Callista will end their lives.

Ace came when he saw his cousin (Jace) and Elijah. "Elijah!! Scott says he likes you." The younger pouted.

"Ace, stop taking things so... dramatically?" Scott rolled his eyes. He was the older of the group, you can say the mature one. "Can't I like a person? And besides, that was a long time ago."

"Hey, still. I'd prefer him for myself." Ace stomped his feet like a child.

Kai crossed his arms. "We need to talk about something, later. Don't you think, Jace?" He nodded towards his brother who nodded back.

Afterwards, the situation was in full control. Everyone peacefully sat and ate. Not until...

"Ace, you should stop clicking pictures with your camera. Who are you even taking pictures of?" Callista noticed which caused her cousin to stop.

Elijah suddenly felt his appetite lost. He knew, no, he saw the camera was clicking at him. He took pleading glances at Jace secretly. The rest of Àixīan left and went to their designated condo first. The only one left was Ace and Jax, a cousin of the Harisson-Wangs and Jimenez-Xiaos.

"I'm eating, I'm eating."

Jace felt the urge to murder someone right now. He covered Elijah with his jacket and stood up with their food. He whispered: "Let's go to my room, it's okay..."

"Where are you both going?" Castiel, Elijah's cousin asked concerned. "Jace, will you take care of my cousin?"

Jace smiled: "Don't worry Castiel, He's safe with me."

Castiel smiled and continued eating. Everyone on the other hand, looked deadly at Ace. No one else can make Jace want to murder someone except Ace.

"Why are you looking at me?" Ace asked followed by a chew.

At Jace's Room:

"Hey, do you feel alright?" Jace asked concerned when he saw Elijah shivering like crazy.

The other shook his head. "Jace, your cousin... I think he was taking pictures of me. I don't know but- I can see the camera I just heard it c-clicking- I feel like it's getting worse. I feel like he's obsessed with me-"

Jace placed the food down on his desk. He hugged Elijah to prevent him from shaking. "Everything's going to be alright, Jah. I'll confront him, it's okay... You're safe."

Elijah pulled out, he'd calm down a bit. "I don't want to make you guys fight over things like this."

"Hey, just trust me. Ace's obsession for you is wrong, I'm not tolerating it, Jah." Jace comforted. Elijah just nodded carefully.

After Lunch:

Jace went down and called his siblings. Elijah was with Dominic at the grocery, shopping for food. Castiel bid his goodbyes and went with them to casually just arrive at the condo their vlog group was staying in.

"Ace, let's talk." Jace coldly stated with his siblings.

"I'm busy, ge, can't you see?" Ace waved at the TV and raised the remote.

"Now, Ace. Or you'll regret it later." Jace glowered in a dark voice. He had enough of his cousin already.

The four went up and Jace slammed the door shut. From the looks of it, Callista and Kai knew their brother had the urge to throw something off.

Callista began. "Give me your phone, now, Ace."

The latter refused: "My phone is my privacy. Stop looking at it."

"Azariah Ace Xiao Jung!! Give her your phone. Unless, are you hiding something from us?" Kai deeply says, and Ace had no other choice but to give it.

The two other siblings waited while Callista scrolled through her cousin's phone.

After a while, she found her cousin's gallery. She was... bombed.

It was all pictures of Elijah along with Ace's doodles. Callista fought the urge to drop the phone and pass out. Not only that, almost all of his cousin's phone was about Elijah. The lock screen, the wallpaper, the pictures were even worse.

You can say Ace was Elijah's fan, but, if you'd seen the notes and messages, you'd probably say it's not just a fan's love. IT WAS AN UNHEALTHY OBSESSION. She found it all, disgusting comments and some other stuff not to discuss.

"Ace... Y-You did all this? You took all these pictures of our squad member? No, who the fuck are you?!" Were the only words the female could say.

"What do you mean, jie?" Jace and Kai asked, when their eyes meet the phone, they were shocked to the core.

Ace doodled over Elijah's pictures: Mine, all mine. And even made some disgusting edits of him and the other.

"Ace?! What the fuck?!" Kai couldn't control it that he punched his own cousin.

Ace could only sob to make Kai realize what he'd done. "Oh goodness, is that even you? What the hell forced you to make such disgusting things of Elijah?!"

Jace, meanwhile, was clenching his fists and left the room. He may kill his cousin from anger. On his way out, he met his uncle and aunt with his parents.

"Oh, honey, Jace... why are you mad?" His mom asked him when he stormed out. His siblings and cousin followed.

"J-Jace please... I didn't know what I was doing, gege..." Ace pleaded and knelt for forgiveness.

"You don't know what you...w-were doing?" Jace stuttered in anger. He ignored the elders' confused faces.

"YOU FUCKING BITCH!!!" He said before throwing Ace's phone to the ground. "Ace for the love of God!!! HOW OLD ARE YOU?! YOU'RE LIKE IN YOUR TWENTIES-"

"Rafael Jace Jimenez Xiao!!" His father shouted parting him and his cousin, going to the center.

"What's happening?!" Asked Mrs. Xiao trying to calm down his son, while Mr. and Mrs. Jung took their son.

Even Callista and Kai couldn't utter a word. They were too disgusted and shocked. With no other words, Kai gave Ace's phone to his aunt and uncle.

"There, that's what's happening," Jace growled. "Ace's obsessing over our youngest member. He doodles and edits' disgusting stuff that I can't even explain."

"Jace... maybe you- you can forgive him? He did state that he didn't know what he was doing. And, he's still a kid-" Mrs. Jung pleads.

"AUNTIE?!" Callista gasps in disbelief. "Isn't Ace twenty-one?! Is he still a toddler to not realize his mistakes? To not separate obsession and love? No, He isn't." She ranted. "It's an overused excuse to say he's still a kid. Elijah is not some toy for him to play with and own. For him to be forgiven easily!! You've met the squad yourself, and you know that Elijah came from a traumatic family- even I will dislike that!"

"Callista! Are you choosing a friend over family?!" Mrs. Jung stomped in disbelief.

"Friends over family? Why are you tolerating such mistakes of your son?!" Kai cuts out. "Not every time we choose family, auntie. What Ace did was wrong and you as a parent should correct it. Not consider it." The other argued, not able to keep his anger.

"Oh? THEN WHY DON'T YOU REPLACE ME AS A PARENT, THEN?!" Mrs. Jung bursted, neither her in-law, husband, nor brother could calm her.

"If I were to replace you, then, that means you" He emphasized before continuing: "failed to do your responsibility as a parent. I'm sorry auntie." Jace continued his brother's sentence.

The latter nodded at the door and glanced at Kai. He gave a cold stare and left to cool himself, having enough of his family's shit.
