"Taecyeon-hyung. " Someone whispered. "Wakey wakey."
"I don't want to go to school today." I said, scrunching my eyes shut in an attempt to stay asleep.
"You left school years ago. And if you don't get up soon, Onew's going to skin you alive. And then do something equally painful."
"Onew's a nice kid, he wouldn't do that."
"He might, if you don't get home to make his delicious dumplings." I shot up, fully awake now.
"Crap, I forgot about that." I turned to Taemin and hit him lightly. "Why didn't you wake me?!" He stared at me, speechless, his mouth slightly open. I pushed up on his chin, shutting it. "A fly will fly in." I quickly got up and felt all my pockets for my things.
"Got everything?" Taemin asked, standing up too.
"Nope." I smiled at Taemin. "But all these are Sehun's clothes and I had nothing to begin with."
"Oh yeah, you slept at his house last night. " I remembered something and quickly felt my pockets again. When I found it, I sighed with relief. "What?"
"I thought I'd lost my key to his house. But it's here. " I pulled it out and showed it to him.
"You have a key..."
"Yep, just in case I need a place to stay and he's not there." I put the key back in my pocket.
"You can always stay here." Taemin gestured around at the room.
"Yeah, but when I need to escape all this. Like last night, then I need a place to stay that isn't... here." Taemin nodded. "Oh and could you do me a favour?"
"What?" He looked at me suspiciously.
"Could you not tell anyone about Sehun. If I go to his house, I probably don't want people finding me. If I do disappear, that's where I am so please don't tell anyone." Taemin nodded. "Pinky promise." We locked pinkies.
"I promise. As long as I know you're safe now, I don't need to worry."
"Alright, now I need to go dumpling shopping. Bye."
"Bye." I quickly rushed outside and to the shops, which I were pretty sure where they were.

"Where have you been?!" Onew asked when I arrived slightly late.
"I got lost on the way to the shops." I said.
"It's 5 o'clock. " So by a little late, I meant a lot. Especially given I left Taemin's at 3.
"We'll just have a late dinner. Here, I brought you something to tide you over." I handed him a Mexicana Chicken box.
"It's half eaten. " He pulled out a half eaten piece of chicken. I shrugged.
"Getting lost makes you hungry. There's another one in there anyway. " Onew pulled out the other piece of chicken and started eating it.
"Can I ask what's going on between you and Taemin?" He asked in between bites.
"We're friends from school. I thought he'd forgotten me and he thought I'd forgotten him. That's what I needed to clear up with him, I found out it was all just a misunderstanding." Onew nodded.
"Is that why you ran away last night?"
"I didn't run away, I got lost." Onew gave me an I-don't-believe-you look. "I didn't!"
"Ok, whatever you say. Your friend, was he Sehun?"
"No, what makes you say that?" Onew nodded at my chest.
"You've got a Sehun t-shirt, I figured it might've been a joke." I shook my head.
"It was an old girlfriend, we stayed friends. She's a massive Sehun fan." I hated to lie to Onew but I needed a place where no one would go. Onew nodded.
"Well, I'll let you get started on these dumplings, I'm going to go watch TV. It looks like a good episode tonight." Onew then walked off, leaving me sad.
I'd wanted to watch that soap opera, I want to know what's going to happen next...

--------------------------------------------
Yes, Taecyeon is addicted to that made up soap opera. I read the chapter where I mainly wrote the plot of the soap opera and at the end, I didn't realise how much I kind of ship Onew and Taecyeon. It's so tempting to put them together...
But I can't. I'll just make them really close friends.
Really, really close friends... kekeke.
Nah, I'm kidding. I don't know what I'll do, I've gone past what I'd planned for this, I never actually planned the ending... oops.
I'm just going to go now...
Bye!!
