Meanwhile:

Lee comes back from his shadowing of Chen and the house is booming of joy and music. He frowns as he realizes that Misty and Min-ah is there. And when they see him, they get a sour face. He can't understand why they would hate him so much. He spent most of the summer trying to make a mend. They turn their heels and walked over to the area I know is Lily's room. I check my phone, and she's still not called him, and frankly, he was pissed off at her behavior. Sure she had shown zero to no interest in him since before they broke up, and it annoyed him that she watched other boys with the eyes she used to give him. If he had not listened to Callie, everything would be the same. Yet here he was, having to interview people he knows now didn't like him, but this was his first job as an MC, so he needed to be friendly and cheerful.

He turned to his camera crew and pointed over at Chanyeol, "Let's talk to Chanyeol," And the team nodded: "Chanyeol, could I ask you some questions?" Chanyeol seemed to not even listen to him, but after some seconds, he nodded and put away the guitar he was holding so dearly. A male make up artist comes to his side and gives him a quick powder puff and walks off, as Chanyeol heads out towards the deck, and sits down as Kyungsoo is acting as the chef and works the grill. "So, what do you want to talk about?" Chanyeol asks as leans back into the chair he's now positioning himself in: "This summer, you guys spent a summer away from the city, do you guys usually go on a vacation together like that?" Chanyeol narrows his eyes and seems to think quite hard before he replies: "Well, we tend to take a vacation now and then together." He nods: "This summer, we went to a family member's vacation house." Chanyeol nods as Jongin comes over and sits down next to them and hands Chanyeol a coke. Which he starts to sip on: "Oh, someone in your group has quite a rich family member." Lee says with an easy smile as he finds that hard to believe: "Yeah, Junmyeon, or Suho if you prefer, his quite loaded, he simply does all of this, because he enjoys it, he would most likely never have to work if he didn't do this." Chanyeol says, and Lee's face falls a little. Lily wasn't a girl who went for the money boy, but he started to realize that the more he found out about Exo's leader, the less hope he felt he had.

"Is that so?" Lee asks as he starts to look through his notes: "Yeah, Suho, is quite compassionate and loyal to the people he loves; he believes in treating people fairly." Jongin chips in, and Lee narrows his eyes at him: "Is that why he's the leader?" Chanyeol and Jongin look at each other make a face, and it seems like they agree cause they both nods: "We are all quite strong personalities." Jongin said, "Baekhyun is the loud and fun one but extremely talented, never be fooled by his shenanigans." Chanyeol chuckles before he continues: "Chen is quiet but also very loud, and he's the by far most active in the making of solo albums, so he's always off doing something." Jongin starts, and Lee does agree with Jongin there because he's been watching Chen most of the day recording a soundtrack song for a new upcoming drama. Plus was working on a solo project that he seemed to have been working on for months.

"Me, I'd say I'm the quiet sexy person, who writes songs for other people as well as myself and Sehun's subunit." Chanyeol says as Jongin snicker, "Sexy my ass." Jongin mutters, and Chanyeol slaps his arms playful. It's a brotherhood for sure; "I'm the confident one, dancer who's busy with... Well, let's say I dip my fingers into everything." And this time, Kyungsoo is the one with a snarky comment: "Or anyone." This makes Lee laugh gently; "I'll  have too cut it out, but it was fun." He says as he looks at his notes: "What about the rest?" Lee asks as Kyungsoo comes over with the tray of food they had prepared; "I'm an actor, so if I'm not on stage, I'm on stage." He says with a warm smile, "Can someone get the girls and the other girls." Kyungsoo says and slaps Jongins arms; "Did you call the boys girls?" Jongin asks as he stands up, with a smirk. Ones he's inside, he shouts: "Kyungsoo called y'all girls." And a loud what came from the inside: "Sehun, he's growing in all aspects of the industry, he's an mc, an actor, he's in one of the subunits, as well as he's a spokesperson for Louis Vuitton, he's active." Chanyeol shrugs: "Xiumin is the marshmallow, he's the grandpa of the group, he does miner stuff, he focuses mostly on CBX-EXO, which is another subunit, he acts too." Kyungsoo adds as he now sits down next to Chanyeol taking Jongin's place. "What y'all talking about?" Chen asks as he comes outside, "Speaking of the devil." Kyungsoo says, "We can't forget Lay." Chanyeol adds as Chen goes and grabs plates.

"Who's Lay?" Lee asks as he looks through his papers; there has never been any mention about this Lay person: "Lay is the china boy." Chanyeol says and smiles wide: "He's the rockstar, to be honest. He is the Exo China ambassador." Kyungsoo says, "He's an actor, he went to the met gala, he's the one we all look up to because we never see him, but he's the biggest rival and inspiration this group has." Chanyeol says with fire: "Nothing he can't do, and we adore him to bits." Kyungsoo says, "What about Junmyeon?" Lee asks, confused; "Oh, dad." Chanyeol chuckles, "Junmyeon, is the glue that keeps us together; he also keeps us grounded as well as the one that always lifts our moods." Chen says as he comes back outside. "He's our leader because he doesn't put himself first like many of us tend to do, yet he's an actor, Suho does solo work, he mc's, he models, he rich." Chanyeol throws in there: "So he's your leader because of all those reasons?" Lee asks gently, "No, he's our leader because he's him. He's Suho." Chanyeol shrugs.

Lee finds this oddly reassuring at the same time he hates this. "Where is Suho?" He now notices that he hasn't seen Suho or Lily all-day almost yet her bodies in arms are here. "Suho went to visit his cousin, and because he has a radio show in the morning, Lily went with him so she can drive him back in the morning." Chanyeol says with a smile and Lee gives him a look, they both know it's a lie, and Lee starts to feel very unease.
