After spending time together, Kai and Mi Young returned home. Mi Young went into the kitchen to get a drink when she saw Luhan sitting alone at the balcony. She hesitated to approach him but finally took the courage to. Luhan sensed her coming but pretended not to know. Mi Young walked over to the empty seat and sat beside him. They did not said anything until she finally said,"Where's Ara?"

"She went out. She needs to get something from the supermarket for tomorrow's lunch," Luhan replied.

"Alone?" She asked.

"D.O and Lay accompanied her," Luhan told her.

Then there was an awkward silence again. Luhan peered over her and she was fiddling with her bracelet.

"Did Kai buy it for you?" Luhan asked.

"Ani. I bought it myself. Pretty isn't it?" Mi Young showed him while admiring it.

Luhan gave a kind smile. Just then, Mi Young remembered something. She took something out of her pocket and said,"Here. Take it."

"...Are you giving this..to me..?" Luhan asked while wondering why.

"It's a charm bracelet," She said while helping to put on for him.

Luhan wondered why she gave him the bracelet.

"Like it?" Mi Young asked.

"Uh..yeah," Luhan seemed hesitated to answer while kept admiring it.

"Is everything okay?" She asked worriedly.

"This is the first time someone give me a gift," He muttered.

"Really?" Mi Young looked surprised.

At the same time, Kai was searching for Mi Young when he saw both her and Luhan together at the balcony. He was about to walk towards them but stopped when he saw she was giving something to Luhan. Kai hid behind the wall and watched them.

*When did she bought that?* Kai thought.

=======

Then there was an awkward silence again. They both took a quick glance at each other secretly. Luhan tried to say something to break the silence when Kai stepped in and pretended to just know that she was there.

"Mi Young ah, there you are. Wanna make dinner together?" Kai asked.

"Uh sure," She got up, decided to go to the kitchen but stopped.

She turned around and asked Luhan,"Luhan shii, do you want to cook dinner with us?"

"Okay," Luhan got up and Kai put his arm on Luhan's shoulder and the three of them walked into the kitchen.

=======

During dinner, the EXO members noticed the bracelet that Luhan had which rose their curiousity.

"Luhan hyung, is that a charm bracelet?" D.O asked.

Luhan nodded and Lay asked,"Where did you buy it?"

"Umm..actually. Someone gave it to me," Luhan answered.

"Somebody gave it to you? By somebody...you mean a girl right?" Suho asked.

"A girl? Hyung, you have a girlfriend and you didn't tell us?" Chanyeol asked, looking bewildered.

"Is she someone in your school?" Xiumin asked.

Luhan did not answer much as Mi Young already asked him to keep a secret from the members. If it was being exposed, she needed to buy it for all of them and she did not have enough cash to buy for them. Luhan looked over to her and she shooked her head slightly. Kai saw both of their eye contacts which made him slightly jealous.

"I bet the girl is pretty," Chen confidently said.

They still talked about the "girl" Luhan had been seeing. Both Luhan and Mi Young secretly chuckled at the EXO members' figuring about Luhan's "girl". Ara watched both Luhan and Mi Young while trying to figure out something.

========

After dinner, all the EXO members lounge around the living room. They do their own things. Mi Young was reading her book at the sofa while sitting in between Kris and Suho. Chanyeol was playing some simple notes on the piano. He remembered the piano lessons that he learnt during his trainee days.

"Mi Young ah, want to listen to my piano skills?" Chanyeol asked while smiling widely.

Mi Young looked up and asked,"You know how to play piano?"

"Of course. I learnt it during my trainee days. Listen," Chanyeol proudly told her.

Mi Young closed her book and decided to listen to the short music that he wanted to play for her. She closed her eyes but opened her eyes when there was a slight mistake.

"Ah...sorry. Suddenly feeling nervous especially playing for a gorgeous lady," Chanyeol said which made her giggled at his nervous look. He managed to calm down and he played Yiruma - May be smoothly.After a short while, he ended the music with elegant ending. Mi Young gave a standing ovation and was impressed by his piano skills. Chanyeol gave a simple bow and approached her.

"So are you falling for me now?" Chanyeol smile mischieviously towards her.
