Deer Luhan, With Love

Chapter 67 – In Which Our Options Look Bleak

Deer Luhan,

Yi – I mean, Huang – is an absolute genius.  And it was very kind of him to bring the brandy.  We kind of needed it after all that.

I woke up sandwiched between two very clingy boys.  D.O.’s feverish forehead was resting on my arm, making it feel as though I had sunburn, and Kai was wrapped around me like a homesick starfish, legs tangled in mine and arms everywhere.  It took quite a lot of skill to move my head without one of his fingers going up my nose.

Unfortunately, I was not enough of a stealth ninja as I would have liked: D.O. stirred and yawned before my head was anywhere near halfway free, and then stretched, whacking both me and Kai across the face with his hand.  Kai must have been close to waking up, too, because I knew from experience that a simple hit to the nose didn’t normally get more than a still-asleep-sneeze, but he grumbled, arms tightening around me for a moment, before he raised his head and blinked sleepily.

“Somebody clearly has insane sleepwalking skills,” he mumbled, lying back down again and snuggling up to me like a puppy.  I tried and failed to pry myself free.  Giving up, I slumped limply in his grip.

“Kai, can you let me go?  I need the bathroom.”

“No, you’re comfortable,” he complained.

“She’s not a blanket,” D.O. pointed out, amused.

“She’s still my snuggleigh,” Kai yawned.

D.O. leant over him.  “Kai, get off her or I will infect you.”

It took no more than a cough for Kai to suddenly spring away from me, yelling like somebody had tried to kill him.  Laughing to himself, D.O. slipped back under the covers and wrapped himself up in them.

“I still feel like crap,” he said.  “Can one of you get me breakfast?”

“Manager hyung’s ordering up room service at nine,” Kai supplied before I could offer.  He was looking much more awake since D.O. had coughed on him.  “Luhan asked him to yesterday for some reason.”

“Breakfast in bed,” D.O. mumbled.  “Sounds divine.”  He yawned and snuggled up under the sheets.  Kai and I surveyed him for a few moments.  Kai was the first to speak.

“Is it just me, or is D.O. not going to be attending schedules today?”

My head jerked involuntarily round so I could look at him.  “Wait, what’s on the cards for today?”

“A fan signing, I think.”

Alarm bells began to ring in my head.  Even though tickets were needed to enter a fan signing, it was definitely not going to be a good idea to go along to something as open as that, just in case more maf—

“Oh, wait, no, that’s tomorrow.  We’re filming for something today.  Another variety show, I think.”

All three of our phones beeped in unison.  Kai reached over to the nightstand to check the text.

“Suho wants everybody up by eight.  The manager wants to talk to us about something important, apparently.”

I felt my heart sink – I had a feeling I knew what that important thing was, and if some of them had been on social media last night after getting back, they probably would do too.  Kai evidently hadn’t.
