"Noona, why do you have to be there when Jaemin hyung picks me up?" Jeno asks in pure curiosity.

"Just making sure." His elder sister replies briefly, hands in her pockets as she has her chin up while walking, making her have that confident and powerful aura.

"Making sure of what?"

"I'm going to give Jaemin a little reminder before heading off, that's all." Yeeun cuts him off with a small smile as she glances at him.

Jeno raises a brow at her in return but doesn't dare to question his elder sister more. Matching with her steps as he couldn't wait to see his fiancé.

Yeeun eyes Jaemin intently once she sees him getting out of his car to greet them.

The ravenette boy seems to be unbothered with her now as he didn't look nervous at all, glancing at her way briefly before focusing on Jeno.

It was plainly obvious how Yeeun's eyes harden when Jeno gets pulled into Jaemin's arms, the blond haired boy blushing madly as he greets his fiancé with a shy 'hi'.

It's not like Yeeun forbids Jeno to ever fall in love or to at least like someone more than as a friend.

She's just.... Not used to it.

This is all new to her too, and it doesn't really help when Jeno's first relationship or possible love life is in an arranged marriage with someone they barely know of.

So of course she's overreacting, she practically doesn't know how to protect her younger brother to what extent.

She didn't really plan anything other than being pushy.

Jeno's words really clicked on her last night this time around. At first, she thought her younger brother is just being naive and delusional.

Or what she sometimes calls him as a joke (because they're close siblings), an idiot. As mean as it sounds.

But when she asked one of the most important questions to Jeno last night, to which got a very positive reply with no hesitation, she took a breath and decided to let loose about this agreement.

"You didn't buy him flowers?" She spoke up randomly, gaining their attention.

Jaemin blinks at her before calmly responding, "I'm taking him to a flower field, we're having a picnic there."

Hearing that, Jeno gasps and squeals in excitement. "Are we really, hyung?!" Asking to make sure Jaemin isn't kidding around.

Getting a nod from the elder boy, he smiles with glee, eyes sparkling as he stares at Jaemin in deep awe.

Of course it didn't miss Yeeun's eyes, it's quite obvious for strangers too.

So instead of letting out a rude or annoyed remark to Jaemin, she nods curtly as she then says, "just bring him back home safely."

Meeting him in the eyes, she flashes him a cold look. "Or I won't hesitate to report you to my dad."

There's a high chance Jeno wouldn't do anything if he sees nothing intentional with it, merely excusing it as an "accident" to defend Jaemin.

But Yeeun surely won't do that.

"Copy that," Jaemin remains calm, an arm around Jeno's waist before opening the door on the passenger side for the latter.

"We'll see you later."

Yeeun watches Jaemin enter the car next before driving off in a decent pace, she finally takes her leave after exhaling deeply.

Jeno's happy mood did not stop since last night when Yeeun had finally agreed on letting him go on a date with Jaemin.

Arriving at their destination, Jeno's jaw drop once he sees the view in front of him.

Eyes wide, he stares at Jaemin who had walked up beside him, "did you do all of this, hyung?" He asks in a quiet tone.

The area was not only beautiful, but peaceful as well. Barely anyone was around as if it was their place.

It felt like a fairytale for Jeno.

Nodding in response, Jaemin reaches a hand up to rub the back of Jeno's neck. "I spent some time preparing this."

"With your parents?" Jeno tilts his head to the side, looking expectant.

Snorting, Jaemin shakes his head. "No, I did this on my own."

And it was true. Jaemin did in fact prepared this alone, he didn't ask his peers for any sort of help. Let alone tell them what he's planning.

They will literally ruin everything.

Thus, early in the morning while Yuta was called for a small assignment as Mark was sleeping due to his recent injury, Jaemin had already took his leave in a hurry.

He had checked the weather report last night and did some thinking, even organized "Plan B" if ever the report was being shitty.

Took his time to prepare all of this with (surprisingly) blood sweat and tears– sort of.

Mainly from preparing the food in a hurry; he had cut himself a tad bit on the finger and shed a tear due to the onions.

While doing all of this, up til now actually, Jaemin couldn't help but wonder;

Why am I stressing out about this? I'm literally trying so hard to make it perfect, and for what?

Surely it's just to impress Jeno for mission purposes. Not a big deal, right?

Yeah, that's what he's trying to tell himself throughout this day.

"You didn't have to, hyung." Jeno frowns cutely with big doe eyes.

Yeah, I really didn't have to do this. But why the hell did I even?

Jaemin could only shrug his shoulders as he gestures to the picnic spot in front of them with his free hand.

"Shall we?" Receiving a shy giggle from Jeno as they went over and sat down on the blanket.

Taking a pillow for himself, Jeno watches Jaemin take out the food from the basket and display them neatly in the middle.

Noticing the bandaid on his finger, he asks with furrowed eyebrows. "What happened, hyung?"

Jaemin raises a brow in confusion before looking down to where Jeno was referring to, "I cut myself while making the sandwiches." He answers.

"Let me see." Without hesitation, Jeno gently takes his hand and carefully scans the small injury.

Seeing the sense of worry in his gaze, Jaemin mutters, "I already applied cream on it."

But what Jeno did next, shocked him.

*Mwah*

The younger boy had planted a small yet sweet kiss on Jaemin's injured finger, smiling up to the latter a second later.

"Be careful next time, hyung." He softly mumbles.
