Suho and the sea

Twenty Four

I spend most of the day with Chanyeol and Baekhyun, they spend an enjoyable day pranking me, so I end up pretending to drive off.

"Mess with the driver... And I'll drive off." I say when they get in, and they look like two sulky kids.

"We're sorry." They say in tune as we drive towards the house again:" So Lily, what are you going to do? " Chanyeol asks as he leans forward and looks at me. "About?" I know what they want to know, but I honestly don't want to talk about it. Or to think about it.

"What about Suho?" Chanyeol asked suddenly, and I sigh: "What about him?" Chanyeol moved forward to look at my face: "He hates me; there isn't much to talk about." I say before Chanyeol tries to get me to talk, but he succeeded anyway: "That's bullshit, he must be dying knowing Lee will stay at our house with you." he says as I rub my temple. "And he doesn't hate you," Beakhyun said, and I want to believe him, but I don't.

"Don't you think I'm dying too?" I whisper, hoping they don't hear: "So there is nothing between you and Lee." Baekhyun asks a little too hopeful. "There will always be something; he was my first proper love; he used to steal my breath away," I confess.

Baekhyun looks at me again, taking Chanyeol's place: "Lee may have been an asshole, but he was my first love until he fucked up, he was a dream, we had this bubble, and all I ever wanted was to come home to him." I said, feeling slightly weak by the thought, "But then misunderstanding happened, and he had a year-long affair." I shrug as I wipe my nose on the back of my hand. "So, he's the love of your life?" Baekhyun said gently; it was a question, but also a statement: "No, if he were, my heart wouldn't have been taken so easily, I don't lose breath over Lee anymore actually for the longest time even before the affair, and I don't feel daggers in my heart when Lee avoids my eyes, I don't feel like I'm falling into a pit because of Lee anymore." I confess, placing my fist as my temple leaning against the car door with one hand on the steering wheel.

And as I look into the review mirror, I can see Baekhyun and Chanyeol exchange a look. But we all stay silent for the rest of the ride.

As we reach the house, Jongin comes out about to burst with laughter. I'm curious to know, to be honest, Lee isn't the funniest person, so hopefully, it's Chen or D.O or something like that. Also, I'm trying to get used to the names, and it seems more relaxed than I expected, they are shorter after all.

When Chanyeol and Baekhyun come to my side as we meet Jongin, he bursts. "Not to be mean in any way, but Junmyeon and Lee, are having the biggest cockblocking fight inside." I frown; "What do you mean?"Jongin is trying to breathe; "Before we started to set up the cameras, Lee and Junmyeon just watched each other, but right before they began to film, Lee said: 'I guess we weren't as good as you look.' And Suho nearly had his head if D.O and Sehun hadn't stepped between them." Jongin laughed as the three of us looked confused and spoke simultaneously; "What's so funny about that?" And Jongin smiled wiping away tears: "Lee backed into the counter and spilled water on himself, so you can say he got so scared and pissed himself."

Now Chanyeol and Baekhyun are laughing. I still feel like this is going to be a bloody nightmare. I sigh as I walk behind the laughing trio inside as the producer comes up to me: "So, Junmeyon and Lee know each other?" I look at him and shake my head slightly; "They seem to hate each other, though, which will be good TV." The producer says, watching me. "I just got back, so I have no idea what's going on, isn't the second manager here to look over the set?" I ask as the producer shrugs: "I think he went away with Chen and Xiumin." And I sighed as I check my phone; "I completely forgot." I mutter as I walk over to the members.

Junmyeon is not even looking my way. "I need to have a tiny meeting without anyone from the camera team, is that possible?" The boys narrow their eyes at me, and I point to my bedroom as Lee approaches me and asks: "Can I come along." And before I could respond, the entire band almost shouts: "No." And I find myself smiling at their union of dislike. And he looks perplexed as we leave him out in the hallway.

The band members who are there are Sehun, Junmyeon, Chanyeol, D.O, Jongin, and Beakhyun. They lay across my bed as I pull out a chair after closing the door behind me and sit in front of the bed: "I need to clear the air." I say as my eyes quickly search for Junmyeons eyes, but he's looking outside the window: "I had no idea that the MC would be Lee, I swear to the gods above." Baekhyun is the one who chuckles a little at my phrase; "I have forgiven him, I now know that secrets in a relationship can hurt not only yourself but other people as well, and okay his wasn't justified, but I've agreed to... "Junmyeon cuts me off: "Get back together right. we already know this." I frown and wave my hand; "We don't want to hear it, Lily" He continues, "I already told you this." Chanyeol speaks up now: "Dude, that's not what she told us, maybe you should listen." Baekhyun nods, "If I can finish Junmyeon before another angry outburst." I say, annoyed, not looking at him now.

"When I got the call to hurry to the airport, I asked Kevin to leave my info with you guys," I said, looking only at Junmyeon.

"But when I arrived at the airport I dropped my phone, and it got ran over, so I had no phone, and I had to get on a plane, thankfully I had my computer so that I could email my coworker," I said as I play with the bracelet on my arm. "When I landed, I had a new phone and a new number," I say, looking at the male's faces. "Lee got a hold of my number through Jung, and kept texting and calling me until I picked up or replied." I add on, "I said I'd forgive him, and that maybe, if it got easier, we could be friends, but I'm not hopeful for that one because he still annoys the living crap out of me." I said and sighed. I somehow had risen from my seat, and I'm now sitting down again. "He has this idea that we can be what we were, but to me, it's clear now, I was over with him before some stuff even happened, and I think he likes someone else but is trying to make it up to me instead." I said, watching each and one of them, and I see Sehun place his hand on Junmyeon's shoulder.

"I'm not dating him, but this isn't what I wanted to talk to you about, but it felt good to clear the air." I say: "What happened this summer, between me and some people in here, meaning all of you, he's going to use that against me or you, I'm sure of it, but also, I prefer that it's not a topic at all, or not mention me at least, I'll stay in the back where I'm invisible." I clarified, "It's also a request from the management." This was a lie the management wanted me head and center, but I had declined it, but they didn't need to know that: "Because I'm female living with eight males, I'm new, my official introduction is coming later." I said it's half right, though.
