"Basically, you three have to pretend being a small family-"
"Easy, Jaemin's the child." Yuta so nonchalantly comments, interrupting the underboss halfway through his sentence.
"Why am I the child?" The said boy turns to him with furrowed eyebrows as he shifts on his seat.
"You're the youngest one out of us three, besides, do you really want to act all lovey-dovey with one of us?" Gesturing at Mark and himself, Yuta has a point.
Jaemin for sure does not want to act like one of the two boys' lover. On top of that, Yuta would get jealous if he chose Mark as there's some tension going around those two anyway.
"Touché, no thank you." Jaemin immediately gives in and sinks back down on his chair while the others snicker at Mark's face.
Clearing his throat, Johnny was feeling a bit more relaxed now that Jaemin had came to his senses earlier. All he has to handle now is their plan and process.
"As I was saying, it's pretty simple. Act like a normal family with an ongoing business, however, it wouldn't be too big and successful. We don't want to lure in unwanted attention from wrong people."
"Then, one of you- or parents I suppose," Johnny chuckles at the two types of looks he saw from Mark and Yuta. "Has to arrange a meeting with Mr. Lee."
"Why am I thinking this is some type of arrange marriage bullshit?" Sungchan mutters nearby, getting a grin from Johnny.
"Well, you're spot on!" The elder boy snaps his fingers and points at him like he had just won the lottery to which made Johnny proud.
Hearing a few cackles from his fellow peers, Mark just sighs in defeat although the color change of his ears - from his skin color to a flaming red - were visible to them.
"Now, before anyone complains-"
"That's so cliché, boss." A guy named Hendery, comments with a teasing grin. Knowing well he could annoy the hell out of their underboss easily.
Johnny groans and glares at him, "anyways, it's the easiest and semi quickest route yet."
"Why can't we just have Jaemin befriend one of Mr. Lee's kids as he's a "schoolboy" too? Just wondering, sir." Yuta speaks up, air quoting his words with his fingers.
Johnny hums as his gaze fixes on Jaemin, "we could do that, but that would be a slow process. Lee has assigned bodyguards for his kids, and can be strict and protective himself."
"Besides, it'll probably be difficult to earn the children's trust. And what would Yuta and Mark do at the meantime Jaemin's befriending them?" Tilting his head to the side almost teasingly.
The said two boys glance at each other for a moment and didn't reply, making Johnny nod his head like he had expected that.
"Exactly, that's why we're going with this route. Not only is Jaemin getting close with Lee's children, but you two as well towards the whole family." He simply explains.
The three assigned peers nod at his words before letting the underboss continue. "The "meeting" will be about needing some help with your business."
"Make sure you're not too controlling and obvious, just have Lee fall into the trap and understand your goal. Make it beneficial for both parties."
"And then make Jaemin the sacrificial lamb." Yuta jokes about and grunts when he gets a kick on his leg from the said boy beside him.
"Yuta's not wrong," Jaemin snaps his gaze towards Johnny and gives a look, "you have to ace this one, Jaemin. You've been chosen as the "child", you can get informations and such from this."
Sighing in defeat, a sigh escapes Jaemin's lips as Johnny stands up from his seat to walk over to the three boys.
He hands the raven haired boy a folder as his other two peers glance over to see as well in curiosity, "this contains the informations you need to know about them."
Walking back to the front, Johnny grabs a remote to access the white screen and presses a few buttons until a picture pops up.
Now everyone has their full attention on the display screen, this certain part of the meeting perking their interest despite only Mark, Yuta and Jaemin being assigned.
Johnny wanted the others to join them and listen for a different role in the assignment, spies and guards on the watch to assist the main three.
Besides, they don't want any of them to accidentally attack one of the keys to the target, unbeknownst again.
The first picture shows a girl, with a bit of cat like eyes and pretty short blonde hair. "This is Lee Yeeun, she's the only daughter and eldest sibling. Same age as you, Jaemin-ah." Johnny introduces.
The members hum along as Jaemin examines the picture of Lee's eldest and only daughter, eyebrow raised up, a bit contented.
She's a very pretty girl, Jaemin can't lie about that. She looks fierce and mature, a bonus in his opinion.
Johnny then presses another button on the small remote he was holding, the picture of Lee Yeeun now gone and was replaced by another one.
This picture is almost the same as the first one, most of them are currently thinking if the person is Yeeun's twin as they look so similar.
Noticing their confused yet intrigued gaze, Johnny chuckles and proceeds his presentation whilst answering their questions circling in their heads.
"This is Lee Jeno. No, he's not Yeeun's twin." Another chuckle escapes his lips at the reactions he received, "he's the youngest sibling and only son, a year younger than you, Jaemin-ah."
The picture of Lee Jeno was also intriguing to them. The boy himself attracts attention just like his elder sister, Lee's children has their charms after all.
They were so similar, even if Johnny didn't tell them they're siblings, it would've been semi obvious - not wanting to assume too quickly - the only thing they got wrong was what type.
Jeno has cat like eyes just like his sister, although there's a mixture of puppy like ones in them too.
He has high cheek bones and a mole near his eye, pretty blonde hair as his eyes are soft when he smiles - making him have a more friendlier and innocent like aura to easily approach than Yeeun's intimidating one.
"One of them will be chosen to be partnered up with Jaemin - that is, if the first part goes according to the plan," Johnny says
His words and voice snapping everyone out of their stupor - too busy admiring the current picture being displayed.
Jaemin couldn't help but roll his eyes as Johnny answers Mark's question about which one of them will be chosen just so the three of them will be prepared.
"I don't know, that decision is up to Lee himself." Getting a satisfied nod from Mark, but an unfortunate quiet disapproval grunt from Jaemin.
Jaemin could only silently hope that Lee will choose Yeeun to be his lover in this "arranged marriage" for their plan.
