Living with EXO

3

The whole afternoon, EXO and I did nothing but share our stories. We've just met yesterday (exclude bumping into each other in the SME building) yet it feels like I've known them for years.

"and when I left Luhan hyung inside the haunted house, he was screaming like CRAZY! He screamed more than a little kid. HAHAHAH!" Soo oppa laughs, as well as everyone in this room. Except for Luhan oppa, of course.

"It was scary, alright! Jeez, I'm manly, don't you guys know that?!" Luhan rolls his eyes at us.

"Nope." We all answer in unison then sharing a laugh at the end.

"It's okay, Lu-ge. Just don't sneak in Tara's room at night to borrow her moisturizers and worse.. her clothes" Minseok oppa cutely says.

We all laugh.

Luhan again rolls his eyes.

"C'mon, cheer up, oppa! We're just teasing." I poke Luhan's sides.

Luhan gave me a reassuring smile, "Kwaenchana. I understand these retards."

♡♥♡♥♡

Dinner was fun-filled and less lonely. I sat in the middle of Xiumin and Chanyeol oppa.

I happily watched Xiumin oppa stuff his mouth with food. Argh, such a cutie!

"Mmm, Soo oppa! This is really good! You should teach me how to cook someday!" I smile.

"Jinjja? Oh, Gomawo. It would be a delight to do so, Tara!" Kyungsoo blushes.

I smile at him.

Nighttime came and it was time to sleep. It is Minseok oppa's turn to sleep in my room tonight (A/N: I was gonna type in, "It is Minseok oppa's turn to SLEEP WITH ME tonight" but it sounded so wrong. Lol, such a byuntae >. < forgive me hahaha.) and Baekhyun got really sad about that.

"Baekkieee, we'll see each other tomorrow, hm? Don't be upset, arasseo?" I lift his chin.

"But-" he protests.

"Uh-uh. No buts, oppa! C'mon, give others a chance. I'm gonna wake you up for work tomorrow, how does that sound?"

"Fiiine." pouts Baekhyun.

"Alright, now. Have a good sleep, you guys!" I greet them with a good night as they enter their rooms.

"Hey noona." Kai calls out.

"Yes, Kai?"

"Where's my goodnight kiss? OW!" He smiles playfully until he got smacked in the head by Baekhyun.

"Yah! What the hell, Jongin!" Baekhyun scolds.

"Yeah, me too, Noona! OW!" Sehun butts in.

"Sehun-ah!" once again, Baekhyun scolds.

"Ahahah. You guys are so funny. Will a hug do?" I smile at the two.

Both maknaes nodded their heads eagerly.

I hugged Kai and Sehun and wished them a good night sleep. Once they entered their room, I called out for Baekhyun oppa.

"Yah, oppa!"

Baekhyun turns around, "Yea?"

"You have a hug too, you know." I smile.

His lips twitch into a smile and he goes near me.

I hug the boy, "Night night~"

"Good night." He smiles at me before entering his room.

Baekhyun's POV

around 12:00 am

"Tsk, Baekhyun. Stop flipping. I'm trying to sleep."

"Sorry, Yeol."

I can't sleep and I don't know why. Call me crazy, but I think I am somehow attracted to Tara. Yeah, I know. We've just met yesterday but I often see her in the SME building chatting with SNSD or something. She is really beautiful and kind. She does not act awkwardly towards us. As I see it, she is simple and even the smallest things make her smile.

Heh, I sound like a creep now. Perhaps, love at first sight? Psh, love? Haha. C'mon, stupid! You've just met her yesterday!  My subconscious tells me.

Do I, Byun Baekhyun, perhaps have feelings for Lee Tara? It's too early to jump into conclusions, I believe.

Tara's POV

I woke up extra early to wake the 12 sleeping guys. First, I woke up the adorable baozi sleeping next to me.

"Xiumin oppaaaa? It's time to wake up!" I poke his cheek.

"Good morning, Tara-yah." He says with a smile.

(It's nice to see you first thing in the morning, Tara. Xiumin thinks, a smile plastered on his face.)

"Morning!"

Next, as promised, I woke up Baekhyun.

"Byunnie Baekkiee! Rise and shine!" I poke at his ribs. (Boy, Tara does love poking)

His lips forms into a smile, "you did wake me up! G'morning, Tara!"

"Uhmm yeah, of course! Morning, oppa!"

I woke up the sleeping giant next to him and the others as well. Kyungsoo and Suho oppa were already up before the others.

As usual, Kyungsoo was cooking for all of us. I should get used to this sight. ^_^

I went to him and hugged him from behind, "Morning, Soo oppa! What's cooking?"

"Oh, Tara! You're there!" He smiles.

"No, this is Tara's ghost. Tara is over there outside. Duh, hahhah!" I say sarcastically.

"I know, silly! Oh this? Omelette, D.O. Style! Good morning to you too!"

"Smells delicious as always, oppa!" I compliment.

"Awwh" He blushes.

"Wait here. I've gotta wake the princess and the maknaes." I pat his shoulder.

"Sure thing, Tara."

~~

"Princess Luhan! Time to get up!" I stroke his hair.

"Yeah yeah... Princess?! Mwoh?!" His eyes shot open when he realized what I've just called him.

I laughed, "Yup! Now, get up!"

"Sehun oppa~ Kai oppa~ Time to wake up!"

♡♥♡♥

Xiumin's POV

"Wow, Xiumin you surely did have a good night's sleep last night, huh?" Suho compliments.

"Why do you say that, hm?" I ask him.

"Well, you seem so happy today. Plus, you're really active in practicing. What's up? Are those the effects of sleeping beside Tara?" Joonmyeon wiggles his eyebrows.

Well duh, to see her first thing in the morning makes my whole day complete. Wait, what am I even saying?!

"What are you talking about? I'm always happy!" I grin widely.

"Whatever floats your boat, bud. It's a good thing that Manager-nim and his wife trusts us and lets us live under the same roof with their daughter. Also, he doesn't mind us sleeping in Tara's room. Say, I can't wait for my turn!" Suho smiles.

Right, it's Chanyeol's turn tonight. Sigh.

"Y-yeah. He takes no malice in that."

"I agree."

Someone knocks on the door.

"Come in!" Suho says. (A/N: lol Overdose XD)

Speak of Tara...

"Hey guys!" Tara entered the practice room with 13 lunchboxes in her hands.
