a day later, minhyung and his dad left florida to meet the rest of his cousins in their grandparents' house. he doesn't know where it is but he's excited to meet more of his family.

when he looked out the window of the car, he had his jaw dropped. he definitely knows where he is now. he's seen this place on tv before and magazines from his papa's room. he felt so lucky to be knowing that his dad's family lives here.

dang mark, you didn't tell me you have a place in the hamptons. he yelled at his brother inside his head.

the car drove a few more before stopping at a dreadfully amazing house. it was like an old style mansion but vibrant with tall trees, fountains, and lights. he wondered if he's in a reality show of those little boys touring the audience in his house. that's a deep thought, minhyung. stop it.

"get inside, mark. your grandma missed you so much." his dad told him as he helped the driver take their luggage out of the car.

but minhyung was scared to get inside without his dad. he doesn't know this place yet. "what's wrong, bud?"

"are you shy?" his dad added with a chuckle. "don't worry kiddo, it's just your cousins. and johnny's already there."

minhyung smiled but before he could turn around, a woman came out of the house. "i thought i heard my son and youngest grandson! ahh!" she is the grandmother.

"go to grandma, markie. she missed you." minhyung didn't hesitate to come running to the door and giving his grandmother a tight hug. "oh, what happened to your hair? i haven't seen you in so long, a lot must've changed in you. better convince your dad to bring you here more often so i can always make your favorite." she smiled.

from outside the house, minhyung can hear voices of little kids and teenagers. he saw them running around, mostly kids around his age.

"sorry we haven't been visiting mom. i tried to finish all my shoots before mark could come home from camp. guess i'll be free for another three months." he heard his dad say. he didn't pay attention much longer when he heard his name being called by a bunch of boys.

"mark!" a group of little kids as well as teenagers went to the door to meet him. they all hugged him and he hugged them back. now, he's gonna need name tags because mark definitely left this part out of his orientation.

maybe this is the time he's gonna be busted for pretending. oh no.

he was picked up by a tall guy and spun around while they laughed. from afar, he saw johnny drinking a glass of whatever looking at him knowingly. it was a rather weird look.

"mark, why don't you freshen up in your room? we just got here, after all. then we'll have lunch." thanks for saving me dad. "johnny, will you take mark's bags to his room, please?" their grandma asked of the kind man and it was another save for minhyung.

he looked at his johnny hyung and he still had that weird look on his face. it made minhyung think what was going on inside his head.

when they reached the room, johnny set the bags on the ground and closed the door. his room was pretty. just like his room in his house, more like mark's room.

johnny started sorting his bags, taking out the essentials one by one. he looked around the room wandering through mark's stuff. he has a lot of action figures.

"did you have fun in miami?" johnny suddenly asked. minhyung looked back to answer. "oh yeah. you should've been there with us."

"well, i think i forgot to put something in your bag when i packed your things. did you know what i missed in there?"

minhyung didn't answer because he doesn't know what it could be. he knows he got everything needed. "oh right, your wallet. i saw it in your drawer."

minhyung stopped with his eyes wandering to the ground. if he saw it, why didn't he put it inside my bag? "just wanna ask you though, do you know who was in the photo inside that wallet is?"

minhyung gasped almost silently enough for johnny to hear and the man turned his head quickly. with that, he's been busted. "you know..." the man said.

"and you know?" the little boy said back in a whisper.

"yeah, i know. how do you know?" johnny pointed to himself before pointing at minhyung.

"i've known since birth."

"and i've known since your birth."

in an instant, they both gasped their lungs out, hands on their mouth whilst pointing at each other.

"who are you?" johnny whispered scanning the face of the young boy. it's not impossible after all. he finally thought. but what's impossible is the other twin actually being here--that sounded confusing. what johnny thinks impossible is the fact that the other twin is somewhere else and this twin right here have flown from halfway across the globe.

maybe it's been planned.

"who do you think i am, hyung?" minhyung started. "haven't you guessed by now? i'm pretty sure what you're thinking is right, johnny hyung. i don't wanna say it out loud." minhyung gave out a small smile.

"that means..." johnny is already having tears in his eyes. seeing the boy who is confirmed to be the other half of the twins makes him think all of it was a dream. he didn't think he could see the little boy ever again.

"yes, hyung. i'm minhyung."

johnny couldn't contain the joy inside his system. his tears crawled out of his eyes and he slowly made his way to the little boy.

minhyung was getting the idea and he opened his arms for his hyung to give him a hug. a long tight hug coming from his johnny hyung. he's pretty sure coming to new york is the first time meeting johnny but johnny seeing minhyung in new york feels like a reunion.

johnny broke the hug apart and held minhyung's face. "oh god, you've grown so big."

"hyung, i'm pretty sure that's not surprising. i'm literally mark's clone." minhyung chuckled and wiped his hyung's tears gently with his sweater paws.

"i know. but i didn't think i'd ever see you again. what are you doing here in new york?"

by the time johnny's tears have dried up, the door opened before minhyung could even speak. "mark?"

instead, jaehyun sees his bodyguard kneeling down mark's height with faintly tear-stained cheeks, looking so sentimental. hm, i always knew johnny has a weird side. jaehyun thought.

"what are you doing?" jaehyun asked brows furrowed.

"nothing, dad. i was just telling johnny hyung how i missed him so much when we were out, guess he got too emotional." minhyung said with a wide grin, teasing his bodyguard slightly.

the dad chuckled and shook his head. "alright, hurry up. we're having lunch in a few minutes."

when his dad left, he turned back to johnny and smiled. "i'll tell you everything later. first, you gotta save me from my cousins because i have no absolute idea what their names are."

meeting his dad's side of the family was absolutely fun. he figured mark was all close with his cousins considering they all talked to him every second of that particular day. he didn't have a problem being like mark because mark already taught him his ways, the only problem was remembering their names because believe it or not, mark had a lot of cousins from his dad side. and mark didn't even mention one bit of the rest of his cousins aside form the close ones.

a few of his cousins are child actors and actresses so their family really must be known. some of them attended the same school as mark and there he recognized a few names mark mentioned that were his cousins attending the same school as him.

they all lived from parts of all over america, specifically famous neighborhoods. the family of his dad's big brother lives in bel air while his second sister's family lives in beverly hills. his eldest sister's family, on the other hand, stayed in manhattan with him living along the upper east side as well to take care of business.

if it weren't for johnny, minhyung would be in so much trouble. but having to meet his cousins made him so much happier because he now knows there's been additions to his family.

unfortunately, they had to go back home. it's just another one of those urgent shoots and meetings that is too important to turn down or even postpone for a day or so. minhyung was told to stay with his cousins in the family house but minhyung insisted to go with and he put up a quite convincing excuse at that. apparently, "showing his cousins the new video games he had bought from shopping the day before" helped.

it was also a time for him to change clothes and repack his luggage. since the rest of his cousins are staying in the family house for the rest of the week, the were set to come back the day after. and so it was a tough night for jaehyun trying to do all his work quickly in one day just to spend the rest of his week with his son.

minhyung stayed up all night playing video games with johnny since it's their first time bonding. they talked all about him, told him the real story, told him the objective of their plan, and even talking about how johnny found clues of minhyung pretending. they didn't hear his dad came in through the door until keys were set on the table.

they decided to turn off the game and meet his dad out. though he's not supposed to stay up that late, somehow he wasn't really that scared he would get scolded because he had so much fun for the day that no amount of scolding is gonna ruin his great great day. it's too fun, even with johnny, that he didn't want to end it yet, hence him staying up all night.

"mark?" the door opened and revealed his dad with those very soft but deep voice. "ahh, i thought i heard voices. johnny why did you let him stay up this late?"

though jaehyun was supposed to look mad, he was more tired than mad. he understood that his son was having so much fun and he was too exhausted to even scold him. he decided to let it be and just smiled to catch his son laughing with his trusted friend.

johnny only smiled and looked at minhyung from his side. "come on dad, don't scold him. i was just having a really good day, i didn't want to end it yet."

"okay i'll let this slide. but please go to sleep now? worry about your face, you won't be as handsome as me if you keep sleeping late, you'll see." his dad teased with a playful smirk before closing the door.

"welp, guess that's it for the day. more tomorrow, don't worry." johnny sighed and started prepping minhyung for bed.

"i'm really glad i have you now, johnny hyung. now that i've met you, i don't think our friendship's gonna break. i have mark as a connection to you from now on." minhyung said sitting on his bed.

"you're being sentimental again, minhyung-ah." johnny chuckled. "don't worry, i don't think our friendship's gonna break too." he ruffled the little boy's hair before setting his newly packed bags near the door.

"you know, there's this guy i know back in seoul. also a trusted friend of mine, i think you're gonna like him. you're single right?" minhyung grinned. johnny took a weird look at the little man. seriously? "are you really playing cupid right now?"

"oh come on. i'll show him to you when i get a hold of my phone from dad."

"it's nice to call someone dad, huh?" johnny asked with a soft smile to the boy. "it does." minhyung answered with a smile back at his hyung.

"speaking of, i'm gonna get a goodnight kiss from dad and see how he reacts. oh, and i'm gonna get water too. that screaming from spiderman and call of duty made me thirsty." he got up the bed and johnny followed him out of the room.

the second they stepped out of the room, johnny stopped, seeing his boss read the paper he got his clues from. oh crap. he nearly yelled out loud.

then, minhyung stopped walking when he saw what his dad was reading. neo culture camp for boys, camper's progress report? what is that, i never knew there's something like that after the camp? minhyung thought.

suddenly, his dad looked to see his son halfway across the room walking towards him. he lowered the paper he was holding and looked straight at minhyung, then johnny, then back at the boy. "you went to isolation with a boy named lee minhyung?"

minhyung could only freeze trying to feel what his dad's next words would be. jaehyun looked back at the paper then back at his son. how did i not notice his weirdness the minute he got here? oh god.

new hair, new eyebrows? this is definitely a new version of his son. "...do you know?"

(A/N: welp...)
