Codename: Secret Identity
Chapter 0: Introduction
📍 Asher’s Bedroom – Sunlight peeks through the curtain. Silence… then chaos. ⛲🎠🎡
A ball hits Asher’s head🏀
Asher jerks up, hair messy, blanket kicked off
Asher (D.O)(MC)
WHO THREW THAT?! 💢 [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡ಠ_ಠ)̲̅$̲̅]
Aoki (M's 1 son)
*jumping on the bed*~ MORNING ATTACK!! 💥
Tracal (M's 2 son)
WAKE UP ZOMBIE MOMMY! 🧟
Asher (D.O)(MC)
HEY! STOP—GET OFF—NO JUMPING ON MY—
Asher (D.O)(MC)
OOWW THAT’S MY RIB!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
WHO TAUGHT YOU TO KICK LIKE THAT?!
Aoki hits him with a pillow, Tracal pulls his cheeks.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
AOKI PUT THAT PILLOW DOWN! 💢
Asher (D.O)(MC)
TRACAL STOP PULLING MY FACE LIKE IT’S CLAY!!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
YOU GUYS ARE SEVEN NOT DEMONS!!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
WHERE IS YOUR DAD?! I’M TEXTING HIM—
AOKI & TRACAL
RINGA RINGA ROSES~ 😆😆
A POCKET FULL OF CHAOS~!
Achoo! Mommy falls down!!
They throw another pillow
Asher (D.O)(MC)
I’M NOT FALLING DOWN, I’M FALLING APART! 😭
Asher (D.O)(MC)
STOP MOCKING ME!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
I’M GONNA—HEY, DON’T STICK YOUR TONGUE OUT! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ
Tracal (M's 2 son)
BLEHHHHHH 😜
Asher freezes. Face red. Then collapses on the bed with a deep sigh 😔
Asher (D.O)(MC)
...I swear to god… 😮💨
Asher (D.O)(MC)
(Who am I even scolding… I was happy when he said our kids are more like me…)
Asher (D.O)(MC)
(Now it’s making me want to scream into a pillow…)
Asher (D.O)(MC)
(They’re like two mini-mes on energy drinks…)
Asher (D.O)(MC)
(I’ve lost control of my own legacy…)
Asher (D.O)(MC)
(Why did I think having kids would be sweet and peaceful?)
He stares at the ceiling, arms stretched wide
Asher (D.O)(MC)
...Don’t you guys wanna hear how I met your dad?
Asher (D.O)(MC)
Hm? No? You don’t care?!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
I was going to tell you today but nope!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
I’m keeping the love story to myself!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
You’re bad! BAD boys!!
AOKI & TRACAL
They immediately kneel beside him, puppy eyes activated
Aoki (M's 1 son)
NOOO 😭 Please mom please!!
Tracal (M's 2 son)
We’ll be good!! No more pillow wars!
Aoki (M's 1 son)
Please pleaaaase tell the story!! 🥺🥺
Tracal (M's 2 son)
How did you fall in love?! Was it at war?! Or in a hospital?! Or—
Asher hides his smile, dramatically rolling to the side
He smiles softly, eyes twinkling
Asher (D.O)(MC)
...Tch. Brats.
Chapter 0: Introduction
📍 Asher’s Bedroom –
Asher laid on the bed, kids cuddled up beside him, still giggling from earlier.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
Hii… my name is Asher and I am 36 now.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
Before listening to my story, please like and subscribe 😊
Aoki (M's 1 son)
Papa!! 😆 It’s not a YouTube video!!
Tracal (M's 2 son)
You goofy!! 😂
Asher (D.O)(MC)
Yeah, yeah, you won't understand.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
I’m not talking to you guys, I’m talking to the people outside this world.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
The ones who can see us 👀
The kids stared at him, wide-eyed, faces blank.
Then they both burst out laughing like he had just won a comedy award
Aoki (M's 1 son)
HAHAHA what are you saying papa!!
Tracal (M's 2 son)
People watching us? Are we cartoons? 😝
Asher (D.O)(MC)
*Twirled his finger dramatically*~ Silence, mortals. I shall now begin…
Asher (D.O)(MC)
I was born in a very rich family. Like really.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
My family was the happiest in the world.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
But then… mom left us.
His voice softened slightly
Asher (D.O)(MC)
And that made Dad angry.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
He buried himself in work.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
And I… I became alone.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
A few years later, Father remarried.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
Her name was Quinoa.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
*in a mocking tone*~ Ohhh we had a huge fight. I was like— ‘How can you marry someone else after mom’s gone?!’
Asher (D.O)(MC)
*imitating Mellow*~
Stop this, Asher. She is gone completely. She’s not going to come back. So I’m moving on.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
I didn’t know Dad still had… years left.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
I shouldn’t have shouted at him like that.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
They started going on vacations, all over the world.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
Without me. Every time.
Aoki (M's 1 son)
Oooh, so you were alone??
Asher (D.O)(MC)
*Chuckled softly*~ Alone, yes. But it didn’t affect me.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
I loved it when they left.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
Because then I could do anything.
Tracal (M's 2 son)
Anything?! Like what?! 😯
Asher (D.O)(MC)
Literally anything 😎
Asher (D.O)(MC)
As the son of a wealthy family, I should know how to waste a lot of money.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
I was freakingly rich, kids.
Aoki (M's 1 son)
WOW 🤩 Did you buy a plane?
Asher (D.O)(MC)
Nooo, but close. I threw insane parties, shopping sprees, movie marathons with my classmates.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
They adored me.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
Obviously. I was a queen 👑
Asher (D.O)(MC)
And every queen needs a king.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
So I had Zelan.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
Zelan… the son of a freaking billionaire.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
Our match was perfect.
Aoki (M's 1 son)
Ooo so Dad was rich?! 🤑
Asher (D.O)(MC)
*snickers*~ Oooh believe me, kids…
Asher (D.O)(MC)
He was something we call… poor 💅
AOKI & TRACAL
"WHAT?! Dad was POOR?? 😱"
Chapter 1: The Break
📍 Asher’s Bedroom – Storytelling Continues
Aoki (M's 1 son)
What?? Dad was poor?? 😧
Tracal (M's 2 son)
Poor-poor? Like… instant noodles poor?
Asher gave a smug smirk, slowly nodding
Asher (D.O)(MC)
Deadass.ლ(^o^ლ)
📍 Flashback – Night, inside a luxury car – 12:03 AM
Rain tapping lightly on the windshield. Streetlights flicker. Silence is thick… until—
Zelan ex BF
It's all your fucking fault for coming late!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
*turns his head, eyes wide*~
Asher (D.O)(MC)
EXCUSE ME?! I came late?!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
You literally showed up 30 minutes early, you damn time psycho!
Zelan ex BF
You don’t respect my time, Asher! You think just because you're rich and pretty you can make people wait?!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
Oh boohoo, rich and pretty is exactly why people wait!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
You act like I begged for your ride!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
I was literally doing my skincare when you blew up my phone!!
Zelan ex BF
You’re so fucking selfish!
Zelan ex BF
Everything is about YOU!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
Because I’m the main character, bitch 💅
Zelan ex BF
You know what?! Get the fuck out of my car!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
You’re leaving me here?
Asher (D.O)(MC)
In the middle of the goddamn road?!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
At fucking midnight?!
Zelan ex BF
Maybe someone else can deal with your drama.
Asher steps out, stunned, wind whipping his face
Asher (D.O)(MC)
You motherfu—
Zelan's car drives away, tail lights fading into the distance
Asher (D.O)(MC)
He left me.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
In this freezing hellhole!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
I swear to god, this is why I never date rich men with tiny dicks!!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
...That motherfucker.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
My Gucci coat isn’t even thick enough for this wind!
Asher (D.O)(MC)
Ugh, I should’ve brought my mink scarf…
Asher rubs his arms, shivering.
Wind cuts through him like needles
He walks, shoes clicking against the pavement. Empty street. Cold. Dark.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
This is how hot people die… tragic and underdressed 😩
💥 A loud crash erupts nearby
He turns toward the sound
A figure in all black shatters the glass of a jewelry store window
Asher (D.O)(MC)
...what the fuck?
Alarm blares. Red lights flash. Sirens start howling in the distance.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
(…Is this real life? Or am I hallucinating from the cold?)
The thief shoves handfuls of diamonds into a bag.
Asher (D.O)(MC)
(...Okay. That’s enough excitement for one night.)
