It was now night time, but the gang was still at the park. Apparently, the park is hosting a special midnight movie screening. A big inflatable screen was already set up in the center and people were gathering, finding the perfect spot. Lay and Tao had insisted that they stay to watch as well, and of course Suho and Kris agreed.

Sehun cursed the two hyungs for being so weak when it came to their respective roommates.

Speaking of roommate.... Sehun looked around for that head of honey brown. He spotted his target a few feet away.

Luhan was busy throwing popcorn into Xiumin's mouth. Every time Xiumin caught one, Luhan would cheer and pinch his cheeks, calling him "Baozi." (Whatever that is)

Sehun made a gagging noise at the sight of the two oldest playing in their own little world.

"Jealous?" The Baekyeol couple chimed as they sat down next to Sehun on the grass.

"J-jealous?! Of what?!" Sehun mentally slapped himself for sounding so jumpy.

"Of Xiumin hyung. Luhan hyung is over there, lovingly pinching his cheeks," Baekhyun answered matter-of-factly.

"Bet you wish he was pinching your cheeks," Chanyeol added with a mischievous chuckle.

"Ha. Ha. Very funny," Sehun said with a straight face. He wished he had popcorn to throw at the couple instead.

They were about to say more on the topic, but the speakers surrounding the park blasted on -- the movie was starting. Thank goodness.

Sehun couldn't even focus on the movie, his eyes would randomly dart towards Luhan's direction. The older boy was sitting snugly between Xiumin and Lay. Sehun made a disgusted face at how close they were. Shouldn't they give him room to breathe?

Sehun looked down to find his fists clenched, knuckles white. Why am I even bothered?

He shook his head and turned towards the jumbo screen. There was a fight scene between the male protagonist and two bad guys, but instead of seeing the actors, Sehun saw himself beating the living daylight out of Xiumin and Lay. He decided that the movie was fairly amusing.

When the ending credits came on screen and other people started to get up and stretch, Sehun's eyes shot towards Luhan, who was now massaging Lay's shoulders. Sehun rolled his eyes in annoyance. He turns around, noticing that Suho was also staring at the two. Suho's face didn't look that pleased either.

"Sehun-ah, why are you so quiet?" Luhan asked as he got into bed. Sehun was turned the other way. He grunted in response.

"Are you still upset about the Hello Kitty band aid?"

"Maybe."

The truth is Sehun has forgotten all about the band aid. He was irritated over something else, but he couldn't even explain why he was feeling that way. All he knows is that it has something to do with Luhan.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"What are you? A psychiatrist?" Sehun scoffed.

"No. But I thought you could share what's bugging you."

"No thanks. The last time I shared something, you went to sleep afterwards – not even bothering to tell me your story."

"I'm just not ready to tell you. Not yet," Luhan said softly, almost apologetic. Sehun sighed.

"Fine. You don't have to if you're not ready." I'm letting you off easy.

"Thanks Sehun-ah."
