The moment Dayo dropped the call with Min-Jae, he stood up from his chair.

"Alright guys, I'll see you later. I've got somewhere to be today," he said casually.

Wayne raised an eyebrow. "Did anyone else hear him say Michael isn't even the problem?"

Valerie leaned back. "Yes. And honestly… I don't think he was joking."

Ulrich folded his arms. "He's planning something. The question is what."

Alice sighed. "Whatever it is, he'll tell us when he's ready. For now let's just follow the flow."

Dayo was already gone.

---

Outside, Timo was waiting with the filming bag.

"You ready?" Timo asked.

"Yeah. Today's content is the mall run," Dayo said. "Let's make it simple but fun."

They entered the mall through the staff entrance. The manager — an older white man in a polo shirt — greeted Dayo the moment he saw him.

"Oh my God. Sir JD… welcome, welcome," he said, shaking Dayo's hand with both of his.

Dayo smiled politely. "Thanks for allowing us shoot here."

"Anything you need, just let us know," the manager said and quickly stepped aside.

They entered the mall and immediately felt eyes turning toward them.

It didn't take long before a girl pointed at Dayo with wide eyes.

"OH MY GOD… JD?!"

People around her gasped. Some shouted softly, some froze.

The girl rushed toward him, hands covering her mouth.

"You're JD… you're actually JD," she said, almost crying.

Dayo laughed lightly and smiled. "Yeah, yeah, it's me. What's your name?"

"Hailey… oh my God… I'm shaking," she said.

"You follow me on YouTube?" Dayo asked.

"Yes! I watched your latest video twice!" she said immediately.

"Good. Want to play a game?"

Her jaw dropped. "Me? For real?"

"Sure," Dayo nodded. "Call someone. Your boyfriend, your friend, anyone."

She nodded fast. "My boyfriend! I'll call him now."

Within two minutes, the boyfriend came jogging in, confused until he saw Dayo.

"NO WAY," he said, pointing at him. "Ain't no way—"

Dayo laughed. "Okay, listen. The game is simple. You get this cart…"

He tapped a huge empty shopping cart.

"…and whatever you can fit inside in five minutes, you take home."

The couple looked at each other like they just won a lottery.

"You have two minutes to plan," Dayo added.

They moved aside, whispering fast, gesturing like people planning a heist.

Timo positioned the camera while Dayo stood a bit back, hands in pockets, watching.

"Alright," Dayo said. "Ready?"

"YES!" they both yelled.

Timo held the camera up. "On your mark… set… GO!"

They ran immediately.

The guy sprinted to the shoe section, grabbing boxes like a madman.

The girlfriend rushed to electronics, dragging headphones and mini speakers.

People in the mall started gathering.

Some laughed, some cheered.

"Go for a bigger box!"

"Grab the air fryer!"

"Take the PS5, bro!"

"Y'all are too slow!"

"Stack it sideways!"

Everyone was shouting something.

The mall was loud and chaotic — but in a good way.

Timo kept pace behind them, breathing into the camera like he was part of the challenge.

Dayo just watched, smiling.

Two minutes left.

The cart was already packed, but they didn't stop. They ran back and forth adding more things — snacks, towels, perfumes, clothing — anything they laid their eyes on.

"One minute!" Timo shouted.

The girl panicked and threw chocolate bars on top. The boyfriend almost knocked someone over trying to grab a blender.

"Thirty seconds!"

The crowd started chanting with Timo.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

"Seven!"

"Six!"

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"ONE!"

"And STOP!" Timo yelled.

They froze, breathing heavily.

The cart was overflowing — items stacked like Tetris blocks about to collapse.

Hailey covered her mouth. "Oh my God…"

Her boyfriend laughed nervously. "Bro… we're cooked."

Timo checked the cart. "Dayo… I think you're finished for this one."

Dayo pretended to look stressed. "Ahhh… I knew it. I knew somebody would bleed me dry today."

Everyone laughed.

"So," Dayo said. "How much do you think all this is?"

The couple stared at the cart, thinking hard.

"Maybe like… $5,000?" the boyfriend guessed.

"Maybe $7,000?" the girlfriend added.

"Let's find out," Dayo said.

They pushed the cart to the cashier.

Scanning everything took almost fifteen minutes.

The final number popped up:

$15,324

The couple gasped.

Dayo blinked twice. "Ahh… you people are thieves."

Everyone burst out laughing.

But he took out his card anyway.

"I said whatever you can fit," he said. "So I'm paying."

The cashier looked shocked but processed it.

After everything was packed, Dayo shook their hands.

"Congrats, guys. Enjoy everything."

"THANK YOU!!!" they screamed, hugging him.

People clapped as Dayo and Timo walked out of the mall.

"That was wild," Timo said.

"Oh, that's nothing," Dayo replied calmly.

And just like that, the second content of the comeback project was done.

Before the couple left with their cart full of items, Dayo reached into the filming bag and pulled out two packs of JAD Treats.

He handed one to each of them.

"And don't forget this," Dayo said. "Best chocolate out there. Homemade feeling. Make sure you try it."

They both beamed.

"Oh my God— thank you!"

"I've been looking for this everywhere!"

Dayo laughed. "It's spreading fast. Soon you'll see it in stores too."

They hugged him again before leaving with their bags and gifts.

---

Dayo and Timo didn't stop.

The moment they stepped outside, they took a short break, drank water, wiped sweat, and headed straight to the next mall.

"Let's do one more before we wrap today," Dayo said.

Timo nodded. "Yeah, one more banger."

At the second mall, Dayo decided to switch the challenge.

Right in the center of the mall, he drew a giant triangle on the floor with tape.

People were already watching.

Dayo raised his voice. "Alright… new rule. Whatever you can stack inside this triangle without anything falling… you take it home. The moment something drops— you lose."

Everyone gasped.

"Ohhh this one's tough."

"I want to try!"

"No, let me try!"

A tall guy stepped forward. "I'll do it."

"You sure?" Dayo asked.

"Yeah. Why not?" he shrugged casually.

"Okay," Dayo said. "Your time starts after we talk strategy. What do you study?"

The guy smirked. "Architecture."

Timo almost dropped the camera.

"Ahn-ahn! Dayo you're finished. This one will ruin your account today."

Dayo laughed. "Ohhh… so you stack things for a living?"

"Well… kinda," the guy said with a shy smile.

People around them cheered loudly.

"Architect man!"

"You got this!"

"Make him payyyyyy!"

Dayo rubbed his forehead. "Ah. I'm cooked."

---

Timo counted down.

"Three… two… one… GO!"

The guy moved fast but careful.

He started with shoe boxes.

Then stacked small electronics.

Then towels.

He arranged everything like he was building a real structure.

People clapped with every perfect placement.

He stacked perfume sets, hair dryers, snacks— anything he could find.

The triangle was almost full, but he kept going.

"Bro, calm down!" one man shouted.

"You want to collapse the mall?"

" Bro was actually building on Dayo's money. "

Everyone was laughing.

Finally, the guy brought a pack of orange.

He placed it gently on top of a PS5 box.

Everything shook slightly…

The crowd held their breath…

And it fell.

Timo shouted. "STOP! TIME IS UP!"
