"Bye oppa! I am leaving!" The girl came running downstairs into the kitchen. "Be careful!" He shouted.
"Mhhmm..!" She said, placing a kiss on his cheeks. "Where are you going, Soul?" "I am meeting my friends, and I am staying there!"
"Wait, you are going alone?" "Mhhmm! We are-" "You are not going alone!" He interrupted her.
"What? Why? They are alre-" "Sorry, shorty. Order from Taeyong." The tall boy came into the kitchen with the box of fresh vegetables for lunch.
The girl looked at her brother, who looked back at her. "Seriously?" She asked. "Well, you can go on your own, but I promise you, you won't even be able to open the front door without him realizing when he ordered." He continued to cut the meat. "You knew that he ordered that... and still let me go by knowing they will stop me?!" He shrugged his shoulders.
"I could give you a ride!" "Oppa, it is nice weather outside, we are meeting in the park for training. I don't wanna drive in the car!" She explained.
"Then.... why don't you go with.... CHENLE!" He shouted, the boy, who was having cookies in his mouth and hand and was about to sneak back upstairs like the way he sneaked downstairs too, stopped in his tracks, looking to the kitchen.
"Hmm?!" His eyes grew wide. The boy in the kitchen looked at him annoyed. "Didn't we just said you should not eat the cookies now since there will be lunch soon?" The tallest asked annoyed. He swallowed the cookies, then smiled innnocently.
"Go, take him with you! He needs distance to food for a while, before he gains weight." He said, turning around. The girl looked behind him confused, not understanding what he meant.
The boy only looked at him annoyed too. Then turned around to the door, taking on his shoes. "You coming?!" He yelled. She flinched, running towards the door too. "Coming!" She yelled, running behind the boy.
The two were walking towards the main gate, when the leader was coming towards them, coming back from a walk.
"Where are you going?" He asked, raising one eyebrow. "She wants to meet some friends, hyung!" He still looked at them, as if he would wanna say no.
"Hyung, she is not captured here, you can't tell her not to go out! And I will bring her there, no matter what you will say!" He said, pulling the girl by her sleeves. The leader turned around.
"I never said that!" He yelled behind them. Chenle raised his free hand up, waving at him, without even looking at him while still pulling the girl towards the door. "TAKE CARE!" He yelled behind the two.
"Why did you said that?" The girl asked, when they were out of sight from the male. He shrugged his shoulders as an answer. "I like to annoy the hyungs!" He simply said.
The girl chuckled looking back to the street, enjoying the warm sun on her skin, the fresh air and the birds singing.
"Hey, Soul?" "Mhhmm?" She hummed. "You said you guys are training. What are you training?" The girl smiled. "Bic and me are working on a new choreographie. We wanna continue to work on it and do our old ones again."
"So... you wanna stay at Bics? Does hyung know? I mean...." "No, Lele! I'll stay at Ryujin's. She has something to do right now, she will join later. While that Bic and me are alone. Maybe the others are there too, but I am not sure"
"The others?" "Ohh, right, you don't know them yet! They are really nice people, and really good dancers! CJ oppa is also good at remixing songs!" Chenle only hummed.
The rest of the way was only silence between them. Chenle always looked around to make sure nothing strange could happen and that no one followed them.
"Uhh, there they are!" The girl said. Chenle looked up and followed her. "Bic!" She yelled. He looked up from his phone, waving at her smiling. "Ah! Guys! You are here too!" She hugged all of them.
"Of course, noona! It is so nice to see you again! It is long ago!" She hugged the tallest of them. "Who is this, noona?" The youngest asked with his dark voice. "Ah, this is Chenle. A classmate and friends with my brother."
"And what is he doing here?" "I just... met her by coincidence. I just walked with her." "Okay? Hello, my name is Win!" He said, bowing. He bowed back. "I am Minjae! Annyeonghaseyo, hyung!" "I'm Huijun! Nice to meet you!" "Annyeong!" He said back.
"And this is CJ oppa!" "Ah, the remix maker! Annyeong!" Chenle said. Castle J looked at the boy surprised, then at the girl, who was only smiling.
"Well, I gotta go then! It was nice to meet you all, and nice to see you again, Soul! See ya!" He said. "Wait! Do you wanna join our training if that is okay for the others?" Bic asked. "Ah, no!" He answered hesitating.
"I... actually have to do something really important! Maybe next time?" The boy nodded, then he left the girl alone with the 5 boys in the park.
"Have you told him about me and remixing songs?" The oldest asked. "U-uhmm... y-yeah?" She asked unsure. "Okay, because I was confused!" He smiled. The girl smiled back.
"I also said how good you are at it! The best I know!" she smiled brightly. "And what about Daehwi?" "He is not remixing, he is composing!" She said.
The boy took her and lifted her up, cuddling her. "Ahhh! I really love you! You are just the best!" He said, hugging her tighter. "Oppa... I... b-brea-" "Hyung!" The other boys helped the girl out of his grip. They all looked at each other before they started to laugh.
"You are crazy!" The girl said. "Okay, let's start! I wanna dance!" She smiled brightly, trying to ignore the light pain in her side.
Unknown to her.... she was watched by her friend, who hid behind a tree, smiling hurt at them. He turned around, walking back home.
"Yo, bro! What's wrong?" He got asked in chinese. "Huhh? Nothing." He answered. "Bro, you look hurt. What is wrong?" He got asked again. Then his expression changed back to emotionless.
"Nothing, hyung! Really." "Yo, no need to be harsh! I am just worried about my little brother! Anyways, the hyungs said lunch is ready. Let's go eat."
"Mhhmm... I am not sure if I am hungry anymore." "Woah, what is wrong now? Kun hyung said that they send you with Soul, so you don't eat too much before lunch because you are hungry and now?"
"Hyung, I-" "Tell me what is wrong." He sighed. "Hyung, does Soul feels close to us? Or is she still afraid of us and just acting that she likes us because of Sungchan and Jaehyun hyung?"
"What? I mean.... I don't know. I would say... from what Sungchan said and hyung too... that she indeed likes us. Maybe us even more than the hyungs. But why do you even ask?"
"Well.... she met this group of boys... she... seems like she is very close to them. Her smile... when they made fun of each other... seems pure and honest..."
"Isn't her smile always like this?" "hyung, seriously! This was kinda different! You should have seen that, then you would know."
"Woah, Chenle, why do you even care? You never care about someone not part of the gang. Are you in love with her?" "What?! Don't think stupid, Renjun! She just... reminds me of my sister a little bit, you know?" "No, not really since I don't have any siblings."
Chenle sighed. "I just want to see her happy... and worryless... not in danger... she makes me wanna protect her from others, especially after what she has to go through in school. I slowly start to understand Jaehyun hyung and Sungchan, why they kept her a secret...." "yeah... me too...." there was a short silence.
"Anyways, let's go have lunch and forget this for now! Or the hyungs will scold us for being late!"
