The rest of EXO came back when it was nearly midday. They entered the dorm quietly, whispering and laughing softly, as though they didn't want to disturb the ones already inside the flat. Suho and Lay were still in the kitchen, discussing things for the imminent comeback. As soon as Chanyeol -the first one to enter the kitchen- found out the elders were already up, he completely forgot to be silent and started talking loudly, as he was used to.

«Yo guys, we're back» the giant nearly screamed.

«Yah, we figured that out! You're way too noisy.» Suho replied covering his ears.

«Yeah, Channie, where did the "let's sneak in quietly" part go?» said Baekhyun slapping the taller on his arm.

Then they all burst out laughing. Even Yixing, who just watched the scene smiling fatherly, couldn't stop himself. It was really hilarious, and laughing seemed to make his day a little bit brighter. But that joy turned out to be quite ephemeral, since, as soon as the dorm was filled with voices, a door opened and a poker-faced Sehun emerged from his room.

Suho and Lay's faces immediately tensed up, while the younger just walked in and waved to no one in particular. The Chinese boy looked at him with a questioning look, as if to ask him how he could be around them so easily after what he had done. Was he really that careless? Did he really enjoy being like that?

«Hey, Sehunnie, where did you go last night? We couldn't find you anymore!» said Jongdae smiling mischievously.

«He was here. He brought in another girl.» Lay said without thinking, his voice emotionless. The room fell silent.

But after realising what he had just said, he immediately brought his hands up to cover his mouth while his eyes widened in shock. Yes, he was angry and yes, that was the mere truth; still, the way he pronounced that sentence sounded wrong on too many levels.

He tried to look at Sehun to let him know he was sorry for how he said what he had said, but when he did, he only saw an impassible expression plastered on the younger's pretty face. Was he angry at him, now? Yixing didn't know.

«Woah, Sehun! Is she the girl you were dancing with? Were her bo-» Baekhyun started, but a loud slap on his left arm made him stop. «What the hell, Soo? That hurt!» he whined, massaging the spot where the singer had hit him.

Kyungsoo glared at him, and that was enough to stop his ramblings.

«She wasn't that girl. That one just wanted to have fun on the dancefloor.» Sehun spoke, breaking the silence. His voice was quiet, even if a little bit rusky. He smiled to Baekhyun, but then, shifting his gaze casually to Yixing, added: «You know I love people good at dancing. And she wasn't bad at all.»

The dancer blinked rapidly, still confused. He wasn't sure if that gaze was directed to him, or if he just happened to be in the way of the look of the maknae.

«And no, hyung, she was... Flat.» the youngest said, smirking while taking out of the fridge a bottle of juice.

«Ok, that's enough» intervened Suho with a high-pitched voice and blush creeping all over his cheeks. Yixing would have giggled if that hadn't been such a complicated situation.

Gathering all his firmness, the leader cleared his throat in embarrassment and continued: «Is she still here, Sehun?»

The latter shook his head. «I made her leave early. She won't be a burden, I promise.»

Then, as silently as he had appeared minutes before, Sehun went back to his room, closing the door behind him. Again, Yixing felt as if the boy was directly looking at him before vanishing in the darkness of his room, but he shrugged it off as a stupid sensation.
