"Did you see them?" Baekhyun jumped, surprised, and looked behind himself. "Yeah, I did." He put his head down slowly while turning back to look at the window. Lay and Suho were getting too close for his comfort. Baekhyun let out a sign he didn't know he was holding and brought a hand to his head where it ached. "I saw it coming.. I just thought it wouldn't be this soon. The way Lay looks at Suho is different than when he looks at me. He doesn't have that spark in his eyes like when he is talking to Suho. It's not like a lover looks at another from the beginning. Still, being the stupid person I am hoped that he would fall for me the same way I fell for him. Isn't that stupid?" Baekhyun asked Chanyeol.

Before Chanyeol could even respond Baekhyun mumbled under his breath, "aren't I stupid, Chanyeol?". Chanyeol didn't know how to respond but he knew one thing for sure. "You're not." He assured Baekhyun. Baekhyun didn't want to believe it and his head was full of thoughts but they all disappeared at the very moment Chanyeol's chest hit his back. Chanyeol glanced at the window for the second time seeing what was about to happen and turned Baekhyun around by the shoulder. Something in Baekhyuns chest moved and he looked up at Chanyeol realizing just how intimite their position was getting. Chanyeol lifted a hand up to Baekhyuns cheek and said, " You shouldn't have to suffer like this. You deserve someone who truly likes you." And Baekhyun once again felt that little warmness in his heart.

"Someone like me." Chanyeol leaned in just so he could place his forehead against Baekhyuns and stay like that for a while. Baekhyun was at a lost of words and he couldn't think of anything for the moment wondering if what was happening was still real. Chanyeol closed his eyes, "You don't have to say anything just yet, okay? Just think about it." He said and before he pulled away he interlocked his hands with Baekhyuns hair and brought his lips to Baekhyuns forehead. Baekhyun closed his eyes at the very moment and tried to keep a long if this moment for one second longer. "I will." Is all that came out of his mouth but it was enough for Chanyeol.

"I definitely will." Baekhyun mumbled, reaching a hand up to the forehead where Chanyeol kissed him, just to feel a lingering burning sensation once he touched it. Baekhyun smiled in content and felt his heart race like it hasn't done in a while. He looked up at the way Chanyeol left and followed after missing the way Lay looked outside at him knowing that something definitely happened.

When everyone got back to the living room where everyone was Luhans phone vibrated and in a quick second he unlocked his phone to read the message in display. Luhan got closer to Xiumin and whispered in his ear, "I'll be back soon. Stay inside. We'll leave soon." Xiumin nodded and wondered as to why Luhan didn't want him to come about but he had to trust Luhan so he put that thought in the back of his head.

Luhan opened the door just to shut it and faced a nervous Sehun. "Wouldn't it be safer to talk inside?" Sehun asked looking around and trying to put on a poker face. "No. We need to talk to this alone. Are you positive the guys didn't see you leave the house from the back door?" Sehun nodded positive. Hopefully they won't notice that he wasn't present. "Look I think someone is watching us. It isn't safe. At least not yet." Sehun said looking at the suspicious car at the end of the street. "Sehun, how can I be safe if I heard them talk about killing me!" Sehun looked away knowing that Luhan was going to find out sooner or later.

"Look Luhan there is only one way to prevent this." Sehun said and Luhan bit his lip in worry because even if he wanted to prevent it he knew it would come with a great cost. "What is it, Sehun? What is the only way?" Sehun didn't know if he should say it or not. Maybe he was just being selfish and still wanted Luhan for himself. "Luhan, you have to date me." Even if Luhan heard the words correctly he thought he was wrong. How could he do that when he loved Xiumin? Luhan took a deep breath and thought about it for a moment. "Sehun I-" Sehun blurted out quickly not able to hear what comes out of Luhans mouth after those words "Luhan if you keep being with Minseok you will die! Don't you get it?! I'm just trying to save your life!" Sehun, to this point, was desperate to get his point across.
