HANEUL'S P.O.V.

"That will be two thousand won."

"Thank you! Enjoy your day!"

I sighed and leaned back on the shelf behind me in exhaustion. My eyes trailed to the clock on the counter.

"Finally, my shift's almost over." I whispered to myself and closed my eyes for a few seconds. Dark circles were already visible around my eyes and working late was the cause of it.

I took the change that the kind man gave to me and slipped it into my jar of coins and bills that was hidden in the cabinet below. I noticed how my savings almost reached the line drawn on the glass, which meant my goal.

"Just a few more days... and everything will go back to normal." I whispered once more and got a pang in my heart.

I told myself that over and over again, yet I knew what was holding me back. I didn't want to leave. I don't want to go back to reality and wake up from a dream.

THIRD PERSON P.O.V.

All seven of the boys sat around the bus. Lay dressed as a sick business man who wore a medical mask to cover his lower half of his face. Chen, Baekhyun and Luhan dressed as school boys who wore baseball caps. Kris and Chanyeol dressed as basketball players. Not to forget of course, Suho sat all the way at the front of the bus, talking into his phone as Lay was the only one listening to his weird words through his earphones. The others ended the call, they couldn't bare to hear Suho's cringe worthy phrases.

The plan was changed slightly. They didn't expect D.O to be at the bus stop and forgot that there were other options D.O could've taken so they've got it covered.

"Don't worry my sweet honey bun, I'll be there soon~!" Suho cooed over the phone, making aegyo while catching the attention of an old lady who was glaring and a bus driver who was keeping in his laughter.

"Couples these days..." The old lady murmured bitterly as she adjusted her grip on her bag and looked out the window.

Just when the bus stop went to pick up more passengers, four people came on the bus. They all seemed to be regular citizens with styled medical masks and one was a foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes.

The foreigner sat right beside Luhan, a little too close for his liking. The man slowly leaned to Luhan's ear, making a shiver run up his spine. He was too young to be killed.

"Hey hyung." The man whispered into his ear and pulled down his mask while giving a smirk.

Luhan secretly kicked his ankle, making Sehun's face scrunch up in pain while he rubbed it soothingly.

"What the hell are you doing here?" He whispered back with a confused face.

They didn't want to involve the maknaes, they were young and precious and they didn't want to involve Xiumin either because he already deals with so much stress, being the oldest.

"We came to follow you!" Sehun said with a stretched smile.

"Um, I think not mr. Oh. On the next stop you will get off the bus and head home with the rest."

"But hyunnng~"

"No buts!"

Sehun sent the others a look. Not just a look, the look which meant that the plan was a failure. After quiet curses and disappointed sighs, they patiently waited for the next stop.

The bus pulled over to a restaurant that was three blocks away and surprisingly, D.O calmly stood from his seat and spoke,

"All of you, out, now."

There was no one else on the bus besides the old lady. All eleven of them got off the bus right after D.O. When the bus finally left, he turned around to face all of them.

A shiver ran up Suho's spine as he looked at D.O straight in the eyes.

"Look," D.O sighed, "I know why you're all following me. You want to know where I go every now and then, don't you?"

They all silently nodded and looked at him expectantly.

"I'm just visiting my mom." He said then turned back around to head to a more secluded place with the rest following him.

They all walked behind D.O in shock. His mom? They didn't expect that at all.

"Now will you please stop following me around everywhere?" He asked without turning around, making sure to specify the word 'please.'

"Sorry Kyungsoo, my man. You just know that I, Byun Baekhyun, your one and only love doctor--"

"Next to Chen!"

"Is here to help with my crew for you find the right path of love."

"Well, I don't need your help."

"What?" Baekhyun asked, taken aback.

"I don't need your help or anyone else's help! Okay? Now just leave me alone!" D.O snapped and finally turned around once again as they all stood in an alleyway alone.

Silence soon devoured them. They didn't know what to say. Did they accidentally go too far? D.O groaned and ruffled his hair in frustration and walked away, obviously angry.

Suho sighed. "It's my fault, isn't it?" He crossed his arms.

"No hyung, don't think of it that way." Kai said and patted his back. "We all decided to do this."

"Kai's right. It's all our fault. We thought it was a good idea to invade Kyungsoo's privacy." Kris said.

"We were just trying to warn him after all. That Yeon Ah's trying to toy with him again." Chen said and Baekhyun agreed.

"Why don't we all head home." Suho suggested and earned eleven nods.

"Let's go." Their leader commanded and they walked home in silence with a gloomy aura of guilt.
