Chapter 16 - CHAPTER FIFTEEN: No Shopping again with Aera

School days have been peaceful ever since the fight occurred between Aera and Ho Seok and his minions, everyone stopped bullying Han Beom or spreading new negative rumors. All thanks to the girls who saw Aera, they knew what he was wearing wasn't any random brands, they noticed the expensive pieces easily and went to tell all those they knew in school who went to tell those who they knew and so on until the whole school knew Han Beom has a brother who came to pick him up and loves to wear expensive clothes unlike Han Beom who prefers to wear simple and cheap ones.

"Waahahahahahaha!!"

"You promised you won't laugh!!!!" Han yelled regretting telling Aera how things were so far for him in school, "sorry, sorry hehehe. So now you are the little brother who doesn't wear expensive clothes like his older one?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Bahahahhahahahaha!!" in chibi sizes laughed Aera again getting in return smacks on his arm from Han who blushed hard remembering the girls who came to him and apologized for bullying him and spreading rumors plus shipping him with Aera before they knew they're siblings.

"Then I guess we shouldn't let them down and be the siblings they want to see~ hehe" smirked Aera scaring Han from what's coming but when he found himself inside a huge shop he calmed down, what he didn't know is that shopping with Aera is the worst thing to do.

When they entered, Han Beom saw some well known brands he had heard of from the girls in his class, Aera took his hand and walked deeper into the shop "hello~" called Aera, an old lady popped her head from inside a room and beamed at the sight of Aera, "Aera!! Oh dear~ I thought you'll never come and visit my shop~ How heart broken I was~"

"Nooo~ please don't be~ I'm here now and I'll come to visit more!" A sense of deja vu was sensed from the way the old lady and Aera were talking, Han gave Aera a skeptical look and got in return a small smile and a shrug. The old lady looked at them two her gaydar working but she didn't sense a thing between them so she asked her eyes not leaving Han, "are you cheating on the twins now?"

Aera choked by the air and shook his head, "no, cough cough, no way I'd do that and you! Plus, he's like a brother to me! I'll never do a thing like that with my young brother!!" Han looked back and forth at them then coughed catching their attention, "oh dear~ I sincerely apologize young man! Please let me guide you two~" she said taking them to the first section, it was full of trousers from all sizes and designs catching everyone's eyes, starting from there Han's suffer started.

Jenny aka the old lady, and Aera picked different colors and designs for Han to try, some came out good but others were not, "they don't fit his skin tone" Jenny nodded in agreement.

After he tried most of the colors and designs they went to the second section, it was filled with casual shirts and t-shirts. Aera and Jenny picked tons of sizes, colors and designs for him, they were excited while dressing him up like a doll. Han Beom was close to tears and wanted to take a break but the excitement on their faces made him swallow his words and let them do what they want.

After the second section, they headed into the third one that had jackets, then to the fourth one with shoes, after that to the neckties and other accessories' section and so on until they didn't leave a corner in the shop they didn't check and try on. Han finally sat down to catch his breath but it wasn't over yet, Aera and Jenny were standing a bit far from him busy discussing how to fit the clothes together they had chosen, Aera suggested to let them go home and decide that alone but Jenny wanted to help since she's the one with most experience. They kept arguing while Han was busy watering his dried throat not knowing what the two away from him had in mind.

"Hansel~" Han jolted, he knows what the tune Aera just used mean, it'll be nothing but bad news for him and he was already afraid before hearing what they have to say.

"Stand up! It's time for the last step before we go back home~" He shivered, his body already warning him to not exhaust it any longer but will Aera and Jenny let that happen? Definitely not! They forced him to stand up and walked him to the dressing room fitting every piece with another.

After it all finally came to an end, Han took the opportunity to ask them both, "how are you two able to hang on for this long? Where did you bring your stamina from??"

Aera and Jenny looked at each other and turned to Han with soft smile, "I worked as a designer in France, then went to America, after that I came to Korea and opened this shop, and since then I've been living here with my husband and our children, you can imagine how hard it was for me~"

"For me, I worked my ass of and studied to get into university before those my age, then I worked in my grandpa's company for few years. But I'm gonna admit, it's all thanks to the twins and bed work we had been doing almost every night~"

Han Beom blinked many times trying to understand what he meant but once he managed to picture what those three were doing, he blushed hard, "I'm pretty sure I didn't ask for this much details" he mumbled causing the two to giggle at him.

"Come on, let's go home. You worked hard today" Aera said handing Han Beom his hand to pick. They walked out the shop and saw the sun setting, "we stayed for that long?" Han Beom gave him a skeptical look followed by "you have to b kidding hyung?"

"What?!" Aera argued, "what did I do? Han? Han?! What did I do wrong? Can you please answer me? No at least look at me. Hansel~"
