"Damn just for a cheer why do they have these many criteria! It's like they are treating us like professional cheerleaders!" Dean complained endlessly.
Bernard rolled his eyes.
"Why do you always keep complaining? The viewers will love you cheer… Imagine four hot men dancing and singing to shout the group name. Well, that's funny for my subordinates… Are you enjoying your serious CEO like Ryu and Shawn being coy and funny?" Bernard said looking into the camera as if talking to the audience.
Dean laughed and said, "Man you really are fit to be the CEO of an Entertainment Company."
"By the way, aren't we going to have some manly challenges? Like you know more on getting physical? Some hard work soe fighting… I feel like your production team is too lame." Ryu interrupted.
"Yeah I agree, it's like they are treating us like little kids inside a playground in here." Shawn seconded.
"Zeus you hear that? Give us a harder task! I want a one on one fight with other team like match me with Shawn!" Denver commented with irritated tone.
Shawn almost choked on the water he just drank.
Ryu laughed and gently pat Shawn's back. "Haha, I suddenly feel blessed, good that my love does not have a brother. Way easier to woo her and then her parents also… and little sisters are simply cute to handle…"
"What's that? Are you that close already to even gesture like that? Guys, I'm having goosebumps right now really." Bernard exclaimed when he saw what Ryu did.
"What are you jealous? Come here and let me pat your back too flower boy for a job well done in leading our cheering squad! Go Team UNTOUCHABALLS…" Dean cheered as he patted and massaged Bernard's back.
"By the way let's start with storytelling every night before we sleep. I will start tonight then. It's a very lovely story flower boy… The best love story I've ever heard of so listen well because you might end up making this one into a movie. It has a high potential to be a blockbuster…"
"You talk too much. Stop that and let's continue with our practice. Who knows… the punishment might be you clean up toilets of other rooms. Would you like to do that Dean?" Bernard hissed.
Dean made a face and said, "what the heck why would you say that only now? Common big bros and let's finish this darn cheer!"
The whole family of Kens watched in the living room while they enjoyed the amazing cocktails prepared by Denise. It was yesterday's challenge which the network was airing tonight.
Elder Ken laughed so hard as he watched how many times Dean complained and how he struggled with going in sync with Ryu, Shawn and Bernard with the practice for a perfect cheer.
"He was so obvious in intentionally ruining their task. Why is he behaving like that?" Dean's mom murmured.
"Well, he wants to get evicted early auntie," Arya said and looked at Rita with her teasing smile and the latter blushed. She knew Dean was doing this so that he could come back sooner…
"I'm gonna bombard him with work if he returns a failure without even saying that story to Shawn. He talks too much and he should use that mouth in his advantage." Sarah, Dean's mom, commented.
Cecile was sitting beside Denise sipping her drink that had mint and a few other herbs as well, said, "Do you know that I liked the smell of jasmine tea too much while I was pregnant with Shawn? I always brewed that and savored it's smell for nine months. I still like Jasmine tea but then I craved for the smell of it the whole day…"
Rita heard it and commented, "Oh Auntie, maybe that's why bro Shawn loves jasmine tea so much. He smells it for so long before drinking it and when I asked why, he said, he too don't know why, but he just simply like its smell so much. He must have gotten it from you only."
"Hmm, that's the first thing I will teach you dear," Cecile said with an excited tone. Her mood suddenly lit up at the thought that she has similarities with Shawn.
....
"What happened? How did the police found out about that? You stupid idiots! Make sure all evidences are destroyed!" Old Man Skull hissed and threw away all things near him on the floor because of rage.
Everyone standing near him was petrified seeing his anger and bloodshot eyes.
That was one of his important laboratory. It was his core drug den, the largest laboratory which minted money for him… they made drugs in bulk here selling across the Asian market and even in Europe and African markets were covered with this lab… this important laboratory was very secretly operated in an inhabited area and there was almost no chances of authorities finding out about it… but today… it ended up being raided by the authorities.
No one would dare touch his illegal dealings except for one person who knew him well.
'Damn you demon don! I'm sure you're behind this! You're really testing my patience!' He mused.
While the old man Skull was contemplating his next move, his thoughts even wandering on the attitude of the Ken boys towards Shawn… he was disturbed by the sound of his phone ringing… he picked it up and heard a proud and harsh voice from the other side…
"Did you like my gift? I will send you more soon if you don't stop your boy messing with my grandsons. Get that fucking bastard out of the show! I don't want my grandsons near him!" Elder Ken hissed before he pressed the end button.
Butler Omni was suppressing his laughter but clapped his hands slowly as he shook his head.
"Wow Master, you really are superb in acting." Butler Omni commented.
Elder Ken sigh…
He could see that the brothers were having a good relationship inside that house. Although Shawn was often expressionless, he could see that he was longing for a brother's love or a family surroundings.
The atmosphere between the boys was so harmonious that elder Ken wanted them to stay inside for as long as things are not settled outside but that was not possible even…
He knew Old Man Skull will monitor the show so he should not let that Old Skull had even a slightest hint on Ryu and Dean's behavior or at least do things to misguide him.
He also had to make sure that the illegal den he busted was not involved with Shawn.
Although he strangely found that Shawn was not involved in most of the illegal businesses that the Skull had been running, but still things can go out of hand anytime until Shawn has a clear idea of the truth.
He should protect his grandson from any kind of problems while busting the underworld businesses of Skull, because he was just a victim and a pawn of the Skull whom he has taken in his shelter for his revenge only...
'Don't worry, we will soon give you a clean startup like it should have been. Later you will be known as a Ken and things will calm down very soon for you my child... We will make sure your name won't be dragged down together with that Old Skull bastard!' He thought as he clenched his teeth.
Chen already had a lead on the doctor and he had gone abroad to look for his traces and to track him.
"Omni, that doctor is really good in hiding… all this years Old Skull has been looking for him. I just hope we find him first because I'm sure he'll die once Old Skull finds him out." Elder Ken murmured as he massaged his temples.
"You should rest now Master. You look so tired," Butler Omni commented.
Then he added in a jest, "If managing a family would be like that… I'll rather stay single Master and assist you."
Elder Ken threw a pillow at him and said, "You old maid… what a lame excuse! Get out and find a date instead of spurting nonsense in here! Go and be a bull!"
Butler Omni's mouth twisted and he left hurriedly before something hard is thrown at him.
'Be a bull? Is it my fault that most women are blind and can't appreciate me at all?' He mused.
