"Here, drink this. It will make you feel better", Tao nodded and took the hot chocolate from the latter's hand before taking a sip.

Tao slept at Oh Sehun's place when he found out that Kai and Kyungsoo were not in their house. Last night, he put his pride and embarrassment aside and ran to Oh Sehun's house crying terribly asking for a place to sleep and muttering that there were ghosts inside his house.

Sehun brought his own mug to his lips before taking in enough amount of hot chocolate that his mouth can take. When Tao didn't answer, he asked again, trying his luck.

"Hey. How do you feel?" he put his empty mug beside Tao's mug and swung his hand around the other's shoulder, an action that spoke 'it's okay. I'm here, let's take this thing slow' like. Sehun's try finally worked as Tao sighed, fiddling his forefingers together and opened his mouth to talk.
