Chapter 28

The next day the boys were busy getting ready to go to lucas's office.

"guys.. What about our leave form..? Did you handed it to our homeroom teacher..?" asher asked as he tied his shoelace.

"nope.." henry said nonchalantly.

"what the.." asher was about to curse him but henry interrupted him..

"you know.. Our teacher won't let us take leave.. so let's just stand before him and let him nag all he want tomorrow like we always do.."

he shrugged. Asher sighed as he got up and saw everyone was ready to go.

"hey where is Aaron..?" he asked looking around can't able to find a certain raven head.

" I think he went out saying he has something to do.." Liam said scratching his nape.

"but it's getting late.." Ben said and a notification popped up from thier group chat and it was from Aaron. It's written

"you guys go first..".

" then shall we get going..?" henry asked and they left thier room.

While they are on thier way asher was worried about Aaron and called him several times but he didn't attended the call..

'God.. what the hell is going on..?' he thought and sighed.. They reached the building and entered using the pass lucas gave them yesterday.

When they were about to turn left where lucas's cabin was after asking for directions from receptionist . They turned hearing a sweet voice.

"hii..Oppas.." she shouted waving to them. They waved back and walked towards her.

"oh..are You guys are the one she is talking about ..?" cabel asked as he was following her behind.

They bowed and greeted him.

"yeah they are.." she said cutely smiling at them. They felt happy just by looking at her face

"come on guys.. this way.."

cabel said and they followed him. Cabel carried athiea in his arm and she turned back and looked at the boys her face went down when she can't find Aaron. Asher noticed that.

" Aaron will join us soon" he said smiling she smiled at him after hearing that.

They went inside a big room and cabel told them to wait. They Sat on the sofa and looked around in awe.

"hey guys look. There is a recording room there.." Liam shower them

"yeah.. It looks so cool.." Ben said looking at it in awe..

" you want to give it to them..?" they heared cabel's voice and turned to see atheia came back with juice cans for everyone.

"oppa here.."

she handed them one by one to everyone and they thanked her smiling. The boys gave her chocolate in return and she beamed in happiness.. She realised cabel was sitting in front of the boys staring at her and turned towards him..

" caby samchon.. Pease.. Don't tell daddy  that I have chocy Pease.." she pleaded with puppy eyes.

"OK.. OK.. I won't now Stop being extra cute .."

cabel said pinching her chubby cheeks.

"hehe.. I love you.. Samchon .." she said showing a finger heart. Cabel and boys had a cute attack.

"she is so cute.." Liam said with heart eyes.

"right..? Everyone loves our athiea..." cabel proudly smiled..

" anyways.. Hii.. Guys.. I am cabel.. Nice to meet you all.."

he said smiling. The guys introduced themselves one by one.

"oh.. You all are high school students huh..? And you are all trying hard for your dream... That's great.. All the best guys.." he said smiling.

" thank you sir.. And by the way can I ask you something..?" henry asked curiously..

But cabel suddenly got a call he gave them a apolegetic smile and they told him to take the call first. He went outside to talk.

" hey what are you going to ask him..?" Liam nudged him.

" I am gonna ask if we can meet singer lucas here.." henry said and the boys eyes sparkled.

"Yeah.. We planned on meeting him atleast from afar right..? We should do that today.."

ben said and others agreed. Asher was smiling but inside his head is full of worries about Aaron.

"huh.. Singar lucas..?" atheia asked after she listened to them talking.

"yeah... Hey atheia.. Did you met him before..? Do you think we can meet him..?"

Liam asked her and the boys looked at her with curious eyes.. Asher came out of his daze and stared at her.

" huh..? But you all  saw him.." she said confused.

"what..? we did..? When..? What are you saying..?" asher asked curiously.

" My daddy name is Lucas.. You all saw him yestwerday.."

atheia said as she Sat opposite to them and unwrapped one of the chocolates. The boys went silent from shock..

"what..?!! You daddy name was lucas..? Your daddy is a singer..?!! " asher asked.

"yeah.. Daddy is.." she said smiling. The boys stared at her surprised.

"so.. That handsome hyung is singer lucas..?!! " Ben asked shocked.

" singer lucas has a child..?!! Wait.. He is Married..?!!! " Liam said with wide eyes

"wow..!! Awesome..!! We didn't knew your dad is Lucas.. we are his big fans.." henry said smiling at her.

"hehe..." she giggled. Asher stood up suddenly.

"atheia.. Do you know where your dad is right now..?" asher asked her in a serious tone.

"huh..? There .." she said showing outside..

"thanks .. Guys.. Look after her.. I will come back.." he said rushing out.

"what..? Is he rushing outside to ask his autograph..?" henry mumbled confused.

"who knows let him be.." Ben shrugged.

Asher rushed towards the direction atheia showed and saw lucas was talking seriously with cabel.. When he walked towards them he stood frozen when he accidentally heard something surprising which is the answer to all his doubts regarding Aaron.

5 mins ago..

"lucas..." cabel rushed towards him.

"yeah..? " he asked as he ended the call he was in and turned towards him.

" that guy.. Aaron.. He.. Is your step brother.."

cabel said and lucas eyes wided in surprise.. A dull image of a small guy standing beside a woman with black hair in a photo came to his mind.

"ohh.. I see.." lucas said in a blank tone..

"but.. It's confusing.. Isn't he supposed to grew up as the heir to SLS corporations..? It says he was left in a orphanage after your.. He paused and changed it.. His mom died.. Why is that..? Do you know anything ?"

he asked totally shocked and a bit confused.

" are you crazy caby..? How would I. Know..? I don't know.. Anything.. " he said with a expressionless face.

Asher's eyes wided in shock... 'it seems Lucas hyung don't know but Aaron knows that he is his brother.. No wonder that jerk went against even his boss for him..i always thought it's overboard to say he did that out of admiration for him but it turns out something like this..'

he thought staring at them.when lucas and cabel turned and saw asher standing there deep in thoughts cabel called for him..

"hey Asher..? What are you doing here..?" cabel asked him. He came out of his daze. He looked up and stared at lucas

" so you are Aaron's brother.. Now I can relate why he did that.." he mumbled. Lucas and cabel stared at him confused.

"hey you know Aaron..?" cabel asked him.

"yeah. He is the one whom I  said will come later.." he said

"but why you are sure the Aaron we are talking about and your friend are the same person..?" lucas asked

" he helped you with that annoying guy.. What's his name again... Ijekeil right..?" he mumbled. Lucas and cabel stared at him shocked.

"so you are right.. I see. Where is he right now..?" lucas asked.

" yeah.. I came searching for you to tell that.. hyung" asher said in a serious tone.

" you have to help him.. He is in danger.. His boss is searching for him to take revenge for betraying him.." he said panicking.

"huh..? Why are you asking me..?"lucas asked with a blank face and asher got frustrated hearing him .

" what do you mean what..? He was in trouble because he helped you... Since he leaked the information his client asked to other person.. That is you.. Which is forbidden in his workplace and now those guys are searching for him..

Shouldn't you help him since he was in danger it's because of helping you.. If you are going to say.. you don't ask him for help.. Yeah I know.. He did it himself.. But we really don't know anyone.. We live day to day by ourself... If you aren't interested in helping.. I will get going.. I have to search where he is ... "

he shouted at him in one breath and was about to leave but lucas grabbed him by his collar and sighed.

" are you cabel's long lost brother or what..? You two even look similar... I was just asking what happen.. Let's go search for that brat.. "he said letting his collar down.. He looked back at him surprised.

" but.. You.. "he mumbled confused. Lucas walked past him.

" come here .. my long lost brother.. let's go.. You must be confused.. That guy is always like this.. Even if there was a gun pointed at him he will talk nonchalantly like this.. But he is being serious don't worry.."

Cabel said smiling at him. They reached the room where the guys are waiting and they stood up as soon as they saw lucas.

" huh.. Hii guys.. "

lucas said with a awkward smile since they are staring at him like a child staring at a doll in showcase in a toyshop. Asher rushed to lucas and whispered something in his ear.

" hyung they don't know anything about Aaron's work.. Let's leave them here... "

he said and lucas nodded his head.he looked down at his daughter who is smiling sheepishly at him. He sighed and crouched down.

" athiea... You ate choclate huh..? "he said wiping her mouth his thumb finger chuckling.

" hehe.. "she grinned sheepishly.. He looked up at them and saw the boys still staring at him like that..

" pfft.. What's with them suddenly..? "cabel asked chuckling.

" well.. We all are big fan of lucas hyung.. "asher siad smiling.

" wow.. You guys are lucas 's fans..? "he asked smiling. Lucas gave them a apolegetic smile.

" thanks for that.. But sorry guys.. I have something important to do.. Can we meet up some other time..? "he asked and they nodded yes immediately..

" it's okay hyung.. " henry said smiling.

" Yeah we will come again when you told us to. Right guys..? " Ben said and they nodded a yes..

" thanks guys.. " lucas said smiling..

'wow.. He look more handsome when he smile' they thought with heart eyes.

" cabel.. Let's go.." he said carrying athiea in his arms..

" daddy.. daddy..I want to play with oppas a little more.." she whined to him ..

" if you don't mind we will stay with her until you come back.." henry said and others nodded.

" thank you then.. take care of her" he said letting her down.. She smiled happily and went towards the boys..

"but where the hell is Aaron..?". Liam asked looking at his phone screen.

" I am going with hyungs to pick him up from where he is.." asher told them..

"is that so..? Then OK.." they said and smiled.

Lucas cabel and and asher went outside. They rushed to thier car.. And asher told them the possible places where he could be and they searched all of them. Finally they found him on the last place in thier list. They got out of the car and was shocked to see him walking staggeringly out of the bridge. Lucas eyes wided in shock as soon as he saw him.

"Aaron... What the hell is this..?"

asher shouted worried and Aaron looked up to see three people walking towards him but his vision is blurred and his legs give out he fainted and was about  to kiss the ground but he felt like someone catched him but the hands are big to be Asher's.

Lucas catched him before he fell down and they took him to the nearby hospital. Asher looked inside worried.

"what the f*ck is this..? Why would a high schooler work under a gangster like him..?" lucas asked pissed.

"no hyung.. He didn't worked voluntarily.. Aaron is always good with computers..

His boss found out when we once hacked into our school system for fun and then he forced Aaron to work for him.. He didn't want to do but he ended up doing.. I think his boss threatened him using us.. But the first time Aaron went against his words and ruined him was when a rich noona ..i think her name is jennete.. she told us to found about someone and it turns out to be you.. It's always that noona and that hyung who ask about you..

He always do the exact opposite of what they ask whenever it comes to you.. Then he got so pissed and quit working.. But his boss is threatening him again to work for him and to pay for his mistake.. I think they are the one who did this to him. "asher said and sighed worried.

Lucas listened to him silently and his face was still blank which is hard for asher to predict what he is thinking.

" I see.. What should we do with his boss..? " cabel asked confused.

" I will deal with him.. Cabel.. Stay here with asher.. I will come back.." he said going out.

"where is he going..?" asher asked.

"don't worry everything will workout.. But I am really surprised.. Is this his family thing.. Ending up in orphanage..? You know what ..? you and me are so similar.. Being the only best friend of this lone wolf brothers.." cabel said chuckling.

" you two also grow up in orphanage..? And why are you calling hyung like that? he is nothing like Aaron.. Aaron that jerk.. "asher was interrupted by cabel..

" always cold on the outside but soft inside.. Such a loner.. lazy fellow.. Talk less.. Zone out more... Loves to sing.. Only Care about his loved ones..smartass.. Handsome.. Cold as ice.. am I right...? Did I missed anything..?" cabel asked smiling.

"wow.. How did you know..?!" asher asked surprised.

"I told you.. Lucas is everything like Aaron.. He changed after meeting his wife.. Don't worry Aaron also will change in future.." cabel said smiling..

"I see.. Then I am Happy for hyung.." he said smiling.

" asher.. I am surprised about you too.. How did you look so much like me..? Like lucas said Are you my long lost brother..? Even if you aren't I am gonna adopt you as my brother.. I like you ." he said ruffling his hair smiling..

" hyung.. What are you saying..? I am past the age of adopting... And you are more handsome.. "he said with a small blush.

" wow look at this cutie..i really like you.. "cabel said chuckling. Asher chuckled along with him.

lucas went back to pick up athiea. he dropped the boys to thier place. he stared at how small their room was which reminded him of his school days with cabel. He lied to the boys that aaron get into an accident and he was happy that Aaron have such a good friends when he saw how the boys started panicking and Liam even started crying.. He convinced them and told them the hospital address and left home with athiea.
