Chapter Text
"There's absolut no way !" Baby Saja exclaim, a look of pure disgust on his face. "I am NOT wearing this ugly thing !"
He held out a pair of school uniform pants that the staff had given them for the HUNTR/X project. They were brown with blue and green checks, and, honestly, Jinu completely understood why Baby refused to wear them.
He sighed anyway and tried to convince him.
"It's only for a few hours, it's not like I'm asking you to wear them every day," he declared patiently.
"So what!?" the demon replied, glaring at him. "It's a few hours too long! I don't know who came up with this mess, but I feel sorry for the poor students who have to wear them!"
Jinu rubbed his temples, the beginnings of a headache rising in the back of his head.
"Listen, you don't really have a choice, the only other uniform there is is the skirt!" he declared, exhausted. "So you put this fucking pants on, and you stop whining !"
Baby glared at him and turned to the other members of the group who were sitting on the couch nearby, watching the drama.
"He's making you wear that awful thing, and you don't mind!?" he exclaimed.
Romance shrugged.
"I think brown looks great on my skin tone," he replied with a smile.
Abby shrugged in turn, and take a sip of the bottle of water he had in his hand without responding, and Mystery smile, like always.
Baby let out a loud sigh, and turn at Jinu.
"And the girls ? What are they wearing ?" He asked.
"I don't know." Jinu sigh. "But that's not important. Put the pants on."
Baby frowned, and glared at him, letting out a disgruntled grunt.
"Try to force me to wear this hideous pants." He growl. "Just try. We'll laugh."
Jinu somewhow manage to not snap right now and to throw Baby out the window, and take a deep breath to calm down.
"Okay, listen." He finally says. "I have some details to see with Rumi. (He ignores Romance's snicker and keep going.) So i'm gonna leave and if when i come back you don't have a uniforme on you, we'll do the show without you."
"That would be a shame." Baby respond with a smile.
Jinu completely ignores him and stormed out of the room, the idea of seeing his girlfriend calm him down a little.

When he returned, it was chaos.
Well, not total chaos. But it was still a bit chaotic.
Mira and Zoey had managed to sneak into their dressing room, and Mira was chasing Romance with her double sword, a ferocious look on her face. Zoey was sitting on Mystery's back as he did push-ups in the middle of the room, and Abby was lying on the floor, passed out, his head on Baby's lap. Baby, on the other hand, had a very satisfied look on his face and looked like he'd finally put on his uniform pants.
Beside him, Rumi stifled a laugh, and Jinu sighed wearily.
He took a step forward and cleared his throat.
Then he took a deep breath and shouted, "That's enough! Everyone calm down NOW!"
A long silence followed his exclamation. Mira and Romance stopped their chase to look at him. Zoey looked up from her phone, and the movement caused Mystery to fall, along with the girl, and Baby let out a mocking snort.
"What's going on here?" Jinu asked authoritatively.
"The girls broke in here and attacked us," Romance declared, having hidden behind Mystery to escape Mira.
Jinu raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to continue questioning him, but Rumi intervened.
"Okay, two more important questions." She said while putting two fingers up. "One, why is Baby wearing a skirt ?"
Jinu turned to the demon, and realized that he was indeed wearing Zoey's skirt, which the girl must have traded for her pants.
"Because I'm pretty with a skirt." Baby answer like it was obvious.
"Okay... And two, why is Abby dead ?" Rumi continued, glancing at the poor demon still lying on the ground.
"Because Baby is pretty with a skirt." Romance sigh.
"Make sens." Rumi declared with a nod. "But we'll start soon, so make sure he wakes up."
"Hum... And how, are we doigt that ?" Mira ask, casually leaning on her double sword.
"I got that." Zoey intervened with a big smile.
She walked over to Abby and Baby and knelt down beside them. Then she put her hands under Abby's chest and suddenly stood up, rolling the idol's body away from her, leaving Baby's lap and hitting the ground hard.
"We ask you to wake him up not to kill him." Mira said, but she didn't sound disturb by the thought.
Romance let out a deep, dramatic sigh, and walked towards them.
"Don't worry. I got this." He said, pushing Zoey aside. Mira instentatly starting to growl.
He grabbed a green object from the ground, and Jinu realized it was Abby's phone.
"Romance..." Jinu starts, not sure of what to say.
But Romance ignored him and lightly nudged his friend's body with the toe of his shoe.
"Abby." He said with a grin. "If you don't wake up i'm gonna show your gallery to everyone."
No respons from the idol.
"Espacially the one in the 'Love of my life' folders." Romance continue.
Mira sighed and stepped forward, rolling her eyes.
"You two don't have the good technical." She said, taking Abby's bottle of water who was on the table. "Look and learn."
She stopped in front of him, pulled Romance back by the collar, and poured the entire bottle over Abby's face.
Zoey, Baby, and Rumi burst out laughing. Romance let out a little squeal, complaining that the water was splashing him, and Mystery said nothing, just smiled, as usual.
Abby woke up suddenly with a scream and blinked a few times, completely lost.
"Wh- What the-"
"You were sleeping and it's almost our turn, so I woke you up," Mira declared with a satisfied smile.
Abby glared at her and got up, still a little dazed.
He opened his mouth to say something, but Baby intervened first.
"So, back to my question from earlier, Abs." He began with a playful smile, approaching the taller one. "Do you think i'm pretty ?"
He spun around, his smile still on his face.
Abby frowned.
"I think you're the most beautiful person in the world, why ?"
Baby suddenly blushed, and everyone else in the room groaned in unison, tired of their gay shit.
