Fortunately, Liam got his tears under control quickly and freely wiped them on Marcel's t-s.h.i.+rt.

"Are you okay now?" he asked with a chuckle. He was being used as material to soak up tears since the previous day. He chuckled and patted his head when he felt him nod.

"Are you going to hide the whole time?" Marcel asked Liam when he realised that it didn't look like Liam was going to detach himself from him.

If Liam had the option to hide he definitely would. He had thoroughly embarra.s.sed himself and he was feeling shy to face all those pretty girls that had been staring at him.

Eventually, he came out of hiding but he kept his focus on his hands as he pursed his lips.

"Thank you," Liam said, responding to the compliment that he had received from Elise. When the girls realised why he was saying thank you they really wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h him away from Marcel.

"Is he your little brother?" Sheena asked Marcel who was still ruffling Liam's hair and made a proper nest out of it.

"Mmh, he is," Marcel replied.

The four of them continued to talk and to a certain extent they got were able to get more acquainted. Liam and Elise were the quiet ones, with Liam looking at his hands and Elise's attention focused on Liam.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the restaurant. It was an exclusive restaurant that operated on reservation only. It was alright since they had already booked a private room. Once they entered the underground parking of the building, the access of the fans was also sealed off.

A lot of celebrities liked to come to that restaurant. In fact, it was like their guests were exclusively celebrities and other influential people that needed privacy.

The group got in the elevator together with the girls' managers and it ascended to the ground floor since they were in the bas.e.m.e.nt level. When the doors opened they went into the restaurant and after the manager talked to the host about their reservation, they were led to their private room.

Inside was a large round table that could, fortunately, fit the entire party and then some more. They all picked random seats except for Marcel who made sure he sat next to Liam, and surprisingly Elise sat on Liam's other side.

The girl had been so cold to him the previous day, she even had an unimpressed expression when she saw him enter the van that day. He just a.s.sumed she didn't like guys, he really didn't take offence, her liking him wouldn't add any more years to his life anyway.

However, she seemed to be very fond of Liam, maybe she just liked kids. This made him wonder if she'll like him less once he grew up.

They all ordered their food, which wasn't too much since only Marcel, the two managers and Liam were the ones that were going to eat normally. The girls were on a diet so they chose things that wouldn't ruin them.

It was really convenient that they were dieting together. Soon after, Marcel, Sherry and her manager were engaged in what was going to happen on the following day's schedule since they will be filming.

They were talking about different things such as the location and the clothes they were going to wear and the whole concept that they would be going for.

Meanwhile, Liam had been sitting obediently, not really making a sound, he did not even want anyone to remember about his existence, that was until Elise started fixing his hair.

Liam was startled and looked up only to be met with Elise's black eyes that were looking at him quite warmly. The purple-haired sister was the only one that had talked to him at all.

He figured after having his meltdown, the others had probably become cautious and did not talk to him in case he cried again.

She had seen how carelessly Marcel had kept touching the boy's hair and kept messing it up, even after he had tried to discreetly fix it afterwards. As she busily fixed his hair, the other group members had obviously noticed her actions.

What managed to surprise them even more, is when Elise smiled at Liam when he looked at her. They had never seen that smile on her face. Even when they won their first award, she was able to give a speech with almost robot-like composure.

She had a lot of m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic fans. A lot of them said that she was just tsundere and was actually warm and caring inside. For the few years that they worked together, this was the first time they saw her like this. It was too rare of a moment to not take a picture.

Without Elise's knowledge, everyone with the exception of Marcel took out their phones and secretly snapped photos.
