Next day...
When the sun rose and daylight entered the room through the curtain, Jojo's eyes fluttered open with a sleepy look.
"Good morning, honey."
Seeing Jojo awake, Rosalie, who was hugging him tightly and laying her head on his chest, lifted her head and looked at him with a wide smile.
"Ah~"
Smooch~
"Good morning..."
Looking at Rosalie lying on him, Jojo didn't hesitate to grab her, which startled her, and he kissed her lightly on the lips before greeting her back.
After the morning kiss, Jojo got up from bed and walked to his restroom to take a bath.
While Jojo was bathing, Rosalie, who had sneaked into his room last night on the important mission of taking Jojo's virginity—and succeeded—entered the bathroom with a grin.
Fufu~
"There's enough room for both of us, right?"
Thud~
With a provocative giggle and a teasing tone, Rosalie entered the bath and closed the bathroom door.
After an hour of bathing...
After bathing, both Rosalie and Jojo went downstairs and walked to the dining area.
"Jojo! You're back..."
Seeing Jojo after a long time, Alex, who was overjoyed, ran to him and hugged him excitedly.
"Yeah... Alex, I also brought a surprise for you."
Grin~
With a teasing grin plastered on his face, Jojo teased Alex, who widened his eyes.
"Tada!"
Seeing Alex jumping in anticipation, Jojo gave a signal to Rosalie, who nodded with a smile, vanished, and returned in a second.
In her hands were three gift boxes, each wrapped in a different colour and size.
"Here it is..."
Jojo smiled, took a large gift box resembling a pizza box, and handed it to Alex.
Swoop~
Alex, who had been controlling his curiosity all this time, swooped the gift box from Jojo's hand and started unwrapping it.
When he fully opened the box, his eyes widened at the sight of DMC's special limited edition sword prop—Rebellion—inside.
"____"
"It's... it's Rebellion!... It's Rebellion!"
After being stunned for a second, Alex shouted while lifting the sword prop like Rafiki lifting Prince Simba.
"Thanks, Jojo... I always wanted it... but my stinky old man wouldn't buy it no matter how much I begged."
Placing the sword on the nearby chair, Alex pointed at Kang, who was enjoying breakfast and complained with a defeated look.
"____"
Cough~
"I said I would buy it next time."
With a twitching eye, Kang retorted in irritation, seeing his son calling him a "stinky old man."
'Where did he learn such words... calling me... seriously calling me stinky old... I'm just 30... should I pay a visit to his school?'
Hearing Alex refer to him as an old man made a vein throb on Kang's forehead, and he made a mental note.
"What! Then tell me why you bought that box of balloons when the woman from the store winked at you... and when I asked you to give me one from the box... you refused, saying you'd buy another one for me next time..."
Listening to Kang, Alex narrowed his eyes, pointed at Jojo, and shouted in frustration.
Unaware of the atmosphere around them growing colder, his mother Jenny's face darkened, her whole body starting to shiver slightly.
"____"
"____"
"____"
Kang, not expecting his son to betray him outright in front of his wife, widened his eyes and tried to cover Alex's mouth, but he was too late.
At this moment, Freya came out of her room and was welcomed by the tense atmosphere.
"_____"
Whisper~
"What's going on?"
Whisper~
Watching the drama unfold before her, Freya whispered with interest in Jojo's ear.
Creak~ creak~
With a mechanical creaking sound, Kang's body started to shiver as he slowly turned around.
Thud~ thud~
Gulp~
Seeing his wife's dark, expressionless face as she walked toward him step-by-step, Kang swallowed his saliva in panic.
"Jenny... I can explain... it's not what you think... it was a package of balloons... I... I bought it for the wrap-up party of the movie I directed before Home Alone. It's scheduled for release this Christmas. You... believe me, right... Jenny..."
Taking a few steps back instinctively, Kang tried to explain while glancing at Jojo, pleading for help.
Sigh~
'Sorry, pal, you're on your own.'
Shrugging his shoulders, Jojo shook his head, indicating he couldn't help him with that.
Superman punch~
Ahhhhh~
"Jenny, believe me..."
Super kick~
Ahhhh~
"No... Jenny, please... please believe me..."
Spear~
"Wai..."
RKO~
Watching the one-sided wrestling match unfold before them, Jojo, Rosalie, and Alice stood aside, cheering them on.
After giving Kang a thorough beating, his phone started to ring, indicating someone was calling him.
"____"
But he was in no condition to respond.
Jenny took his mobile and looked at the caller ID, which had the name "Mia" in bold letters.
Without answering, Jenny took a few steps back diagonally from the now-fallen Kang, preparing to make another move.
Taking her position, she answered the call and put it on speaker.
"Sir Kang, we have arranged for the party to go on full swing at the same house where we shot the movie."
A female voice came from the other side of the call, informing him about the party arrangements.
"____"
After not receiving a response from Kang, the woman named Mia hung up.
"I knew it... I believe in him... nobody could shake the trust I have in him..."
Hehe~
Hearing that Kang was innocent, Jenny, with an awkward smile, tried to lighten the mood, but all she received was silence.
"Jojo... why are you standing there? Come and take a seat; breakfast is ready."
Forcing the conversation to shift, Jenny hurriedly pulled Jojo to the dining table and started serving the breakfast she had prepared.
After breakfast, Jojo handed the two remaining gifts to both Jenny and Kang, who was still semi-conscious, then prepared to go to Forks High School with Rosalie and Alice.
Jojo had missed more than two months of school due to his visit to New Orleans.
"Wait... Jojo, take me with you."
Seeing Jojo about to leave with Rosalie and Alice for school, Freya hurriedly stopped them.
"What happened, Freya?"
Being stopped by Freya, Jojo looked at her confusedly and asked.
Cough~
"Well, you see... I applied for a history teacher position at Forks High... so I could blend in here well..."
With an awkward cough, Freya showed Jojo her appointment letter, which was covered in a brown postal envelope.
"____"
"Are you sure... Do you want to become a teacher? I thought you'd stay home to continue your research on demons..."
Hearing that Freya was becoming a teacher at Forks High, Jojo was surprised.
Sigh~
"Well... I had a chat with Esme when we were in New Orleans before you separated Inadu from my siblings. When I said I intended to come to Forks with you, she suggested I could try being a teacher at Forks High to blend in more easily. I can also conduct my research as a teacher to avoid suspicion."
With a sigh, Freya explained her conversation with Esme before their arrival.
Esme advised her to become a teacher at Forks High so she could blend in easily and avoid raising suspicions among the people of Forks if anything unexpected happened.
The point was valid—the population of Forks was limited, so any newcomers would be easily noticed by the locals.
'Why didn't she tell me? If she'd said this earlier, I would have given her a job... well, teacher... it's her decision...'
After a brief thought, Jojo nodded, and they all left for school in Rosalie's car.
Since they had more people with them, they took Rosalie's car.
When they arrived at the school parking lot, there was a lot of commotion from the students.
They whispered among themselves, eyeing Jojo, who was flanked by the top two beauties of the school on each side, with another beauty who looked more mature following behind.
"Damn... another beauty with him... why are they always around him? I thought he transferred to another school because of his long absence."
One male student, cursing Jojo in a low voice, complained to his friend, jealousy visible on his face.
Meanwhile, some girls were happy to see one of their crushes back after a long absence.
Some gathered the courage to approach Jojo, greeting him with wide smiles and shyly adjusting their hair.
Jessica and Angela even flirted with him before walking away after receiving a cold stare from Rosalie.
Alice giggled at this, tightening her grip on Jojo's hand and laying her head on his shoulder.
After school started, Freya went to the principal's office, handed over her appointment letter, and officially joined Forks High as a history teacher.
The school day passed. During lunch, Jojo joined the Cullens and sat with them as usual.
Freya couldn't join them due to the separate cafeterias for students and teachers.
After school...
"How was your first day?"
While returning from school, Jojo asked Freya, who was sitting beside him, while Rosalie and Alice sat in the front seats.
"Well... not bad... it's a new experience to be a teacher."
Nodding, Freya explained how her first day went and her impressions of it.
There was a rare peace, as no supernatural complaints had been lodged on their DMC website.
Also, in a week, his new production house would be established in Los Angeles, and from that moment, his production house, Creative Child, would be more than just a paper entity.
The work was going full steam ahead, led by Kang, who had survived Hollywood most of his life. There was no one more suited to the role.
As the day passed and night arrived...
Midnight...
Creak~
Once again, the door to Jojo's room opened, and a figure slowly entered the room, carefully taking each step to avoid waking Jojo, who was sleeping soundly.
Hearing the door to his room open, Jojo's eyes opened wide, and he turned to see who was entering.
"Alice?"
Seeing that the intruder was none other than Alice, who was caught halfway sneaking into his bed, Jojo was surprised.
Smooch~
Sigh~
"Tonight is mine."
Without giving Jojo time to react, Alice grabbed him by the collar and kissed him intensely.
Jojo felt a sense of déjà vu as the scene from the previous night replayed, but this time, it was Alice.
Although he was briefly lost in thought, he soon found himself pulled back by Alice's eager hands, which started exploring his body with an unmistakable hunger.
