I laid out all of my outfits I was going to use for the trip, making sure to leave a space or two open for some new cloths I would buy today with Tao on our shopping trip.
As if on que the diva called Tao ran into the room "oh my gosh Suho, are you ready?" he climbed onto my bed and stared bouncing slightly grinning happily like a child on Christmas.
I couldn't help but mirror his smile "give me a few minutes then we will go" i said placing my final shirt into my suitcase "have you started packing yet?"
"Hmm? oh no, i was going to do so tonight after we got back" Tao said seeming lost in thought. He was doing that a lot latley, he would space out and i never knew what... or who he was thinking about.
I turned to him "Tao, you're not going to buy a whole new wardrobe for this trip are you?" i asked almost scared to hear the answer.
"Of course not" Tao says in mock offense, placing this fingers to his chest and droping his jaw dramatically "i just have to see what i buy, and then coordinate my other outfits with the rest of my cloths so i know what type of feel im going for while were on vacation"
"You think way to hard about this, they are just cloths" i said immediately regretting the words as they left my mouth.
Tao gasps "Suho, they are not just cloths, how could you even say that" he starts fanning himself and making very feminine noises.
"I'm sorry Tao, you know fashion isn't really my thing" i say trying to calm him down, then get a perfect idea on how to do that "hey Tao?" i smile like i just got the greatest idea ever.
Tao locks his jaw and his piercing eyes find mine "what?" he hisses.
"Would you like to help me pick out an something to wear on the trip since you know so much more about fashion than i do?" i ask adding an extra sweet tone to my voice.
Tao's eyes light up "really? you would be my Barbie for a day?" he asks jumping up and staring at me excitedly.
"If you wouldn't mind" i say beginning to get nervous about what Tao would do to me.
Tao suddenly lets out a squeal and throws his arm around my neck "Omo Suho, this is going to be so much fun. Let me go and get my purse then we can go" he says laughing then running out the door towards his room.
I chuckle and turn back to my suitcase "you really do love that kid, don't you?" a voice asks from the doorway, making me jump.
I place a hand over my heart "oh, Sehun... how are you feeling?" i ask trying to slow my rapidly beating heart. "and Tao is older than you" i say laughing at his odd word choice.
Sehun smirks "a lot better after getting some much needed sleep, thanks. And Tao is older, but only in age, mentally he's like five"
I snort "you have a point there, and i'm just looking after you, as always"
Sehun gazes at me for a moment before surprising me with what he says next "you do know that we are allowed to look after you too, right?" he places a hand inside his pocket and leans against the door frame "i know you're the leader and you take on more responsibility than us, but you're also our friend Su, our brother... there's nothing shameful in letting us take care of you every once in a while"
I blinked at him and felt the corners of my lips tug "i know that if i ever need you guys, you will be there"
Sehuns eyebrows knitted together and he lifted an eyebrow "Do you?"
Confusion struck me, of course i knew the guys are always there for me, i mean 'Exo we are one' right? but somehow i felt Sehun was trying to tell me something. Something that was fluttering on the edge of my coherence, but i couldn't seem to grasp it.
