Breaking the Rules (EXO)

13: Victoria

"Boys! Let's go! We're already running late." The manager shouted, throwing open the door to the room. Sehun frowned, still sitting beneath his covers. He'd put on his best sick face, and had managed to make himself look clammy and pale. The manager looked right at him and frowned. "Are you serious? You look like hell, Sehun!"

He sighed. "I feel like it." He said blandly. "I don't think I can make it to the interview today." He said this lightly.

The manager frowned, but leaned against the doorframe. This was always a defeated pose, and Sehun knew it. "No one will be able to stay behind with you and take care of you."

Sehun nodded. "I just need to sleep a little more, I think. I'll be alright." He said, closing his eyes and laying back on his pillows.

Suho, who had just come in to grab his phone charger, took one look at Sehun and grimaced. "There's tylenol in the cabinet. Try to get more than a little sleep, and make sure to eat something, okay? If you don't rein this in, everyone could get ill, so please take care of yourself, since we can't care for you today." Sehun nodded. "We'll be home a little later."

"I'll be here," He said, laying back down and drawing the blanket up over his head.

Suho sighed, moving to the manager's side. "Let's get to the car." He said, closing the door behind him as they walked away.

The second Sehun heard the front door close he leapt up and grabbed his phone. He scrolled through his phone and found Nari's number. Before he'd given her her phone after he got it from the apartment, he called himself, and then he called her from his own phone, so they both had each other's numbers. He knew it sounded strange, and a little out of place, but he knew she'd need it if something happened, and Chanyeol wasn't around.

He wanted to be there for her, and even if it was a little strange, he wanted to protect her.

He sent her a message asking if she was moving that afternoon and needed help moving anything because he'd stayed behind and had free time on his hands. He was feeling a lot better anyways.

Nari sighed, looking around the new apartment. She wasn't sure what she needed to buy, since she wasn't sure what Rina and Min Young were bringing with them, therefore she stuck with compiling a list of things she needed for her room. A new bed frame, a mattress, pillows and sheets, hampers, dresser, hangers, and that was basically the bare minimum of what she needed.

She would go clothes shopping on another day.

Her phone buzzed in her pocket, and she was startled. Who would be calling her that early? She'd left the dorm early that morning to get the keys to the new apartment, and she was supposed to wait for Chanyeol to do anything, but he wouldn't be done working until late, and she wanted to get started. No one else really knew where she was though, so that could be why someone was texting her.

She slid her phone from her pocket and stared at the screen in surprise. It was Sehun.

Do you need any help moving today? I have some free time on my hands.

Wasn't he supposed to be with the others? At that interview? She dialed his number and held the phone to her ear. He answered almost immediately. "You know," He started. "You could have just text me."

"Shouldn't you be at that interview with the others this morning?" She asked, holding the phone between her shoulder and her ear as the doorbell rang through the space.
