It took a second for it to sink in, then everyone started congratulating Tao and I, giving us hugs and smiles. "Congratulations." Sehun smiled, ruffling my hair, followed by Chen and Baekhyun who hugged me happily.

"Congrats." Chen said with a smile.

"The second after you two get married you're already going at it, huh?" Baekhyun teased.

"I think you're just jealous." Tao replied, and Baekhyun rolled his eyes.

"I am not jealous." He replied, but his voice didn't hide the lie too well.

"I am." Luhan cut in, looking up at Tao. "First Kyungsoo, then you. What's next Kai's gonna get married? I thought the oldest needs to get married first, then the younger ones can."

Xiumin let out a laugh. "I'm sorry Lu, but if that was how things were going to go, none of you would be getting married."

"Well, that's because you're too busy with your books and your piano to go find a girl." Luhan pointed out, and Xiumin just smiled, knowing it was true.

"Want to know what would be funny?" Chanyeol began, grabbing our attention. "Watch Sehun get the next girl who comes into the mansion."

The brunette looked up at the mention of his name. "What?" He asked, not hearing the rest of what his brother said.

"You're next." Chanyeol repeated, and Sehun rolled his eyes.

"Thanks, but no thanks. I'm still too young for all of that." He replied, and I held back a laugh as his brothers all gave him an are-you-kidding-me look. "What? I'm only twenty."

"Tao's not even a year older than you." Chen laughed. "And Kyungsoo is two."

"Well then, in two years I'll reconsider." Sehun shrugged.

"You'll still be twenty in two years." Kai countered.

"Exactly."

"Technically, you're all almost two-hundred, so you're all beyond old enough to find a girl." Mee-Yon commented, and the guys all stopped, looking over at her.

"Look who's talking." Suho laughed. "You're about as old as us, why don't you have a guy-" he began, but I elbowed him in the side. He looked over at me, confused, then back to Mee-Yon who smiled sadly, and his face fell. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean-" he began, but she shook her head.

"It's okay, you're right," She said. "but I have to wait for all of you guys to get married first. I need to make sure you're all taken care of properly. I'm the youngest anyways, so I have to at least wait for Sehun."

At that, the conversation died, and everyone sort of dispersed, awkwardly shuffling away. Suho and Mee-Yon stayed around however, Mee-Yon heading over to the couch, sitting down quietly as Suho let out a sigh, holding his forehead.

"I'm stupid." He began, taking quietly to himself. "How could I forget about JiHyun?"

"Its okay." I told him, and he shook his head. I gave him at small part on the shoulder, then made my way over to Mee-Yon. "Hey, you okay?" I asked her, seeing that she was clearly upset.

She gave me a nod. "Yeah, just thinking."

"About?" I asked.

"JiHyun...and Khristine." She replied after a few seconds. "Both of them died a long time ago, but I'm still here..." She sighed. "I cheated death, and got to live, but they both didn't. I couldn't save them."

"Hey." I began, seeing how she was starting to feel guilty. "Don't think about that, instead, think about how many people you have saved because you were still here. There's Jimin and Suga and the guys. Then there are you brothers. And me, you save me too."
