Sweet Escape (an EXO adventure story)

The Plan: Part 2

Sehun: I miss Luhan and Kris hyung. Is there a way for us to communicate with them?

Napaisip ang XiuChen na kasama ni Sehun sa almusal.

Xiumin: We have to be careful about the social media. My accounts are public and it's easy for them to trace it.

Napakunot ang noo ni Sehun. Ilang beses na niyang sinubukang gumawa ng secret accounts pero hindi napapansin nina Kris at Luhan ang mga messages niya kasi kasama ito sa messages ng fans.

Chen: Then why don't we try calling them from payphones?

Lumiwanag ang mukha ni Xiumin sandali pero naging malungkot rin kaagad.

Xiumin: No, that's not easy. Cameras and sasaeng fans everywhere.

Sehun: Umin hyung is right... but we can try.

Nag atubili si Chen. Minsan nya nang sinubukang mag-email kay Luhan pero na trace iyon ng manager nila at pinagalitan siya ng husto. Hindi siya pinagamit ng computer pagkatapos nun.

Xiumin: I know, Chen. I remember that incident and I think the penalty was serious. We don't have our private life anymore. I want to finish my studies no matter what happens.

Biglang dumating ang BaekYeol.

Chanyeol: Yah, why are you guys up so early?

Napansin nito ang malungkot na si Sehun.

Chanyeol: Sese, what's with the long face?

Nilapitan naman ito na Baekhyun at hinilot hilot sa leeg pagkatapos binigyan ng back hug habang nakaupo.

Baekhyun: Maknae-yah, why are you sad?

Humaba ang nguso ni Sehun at nagsimulang magsumbong sa mga kuya.

Sehun: Hyung, don't you miss Luhan and Kris hyung?

Lumapit na rin si Chanyeol at umupo sa tabi ni Sehun.

Chanyeol: Of course we do. We are also thinking of ways to contact them.

Habang kinocomfort nina Chanyeol at Baekhyun si Sehun, naglinis naman ng kusina si Xiumin. Si Chen naman tinutulungan si Kyungsoo sa kusina.

Kyungsoo: Honestly, I'm tired of our situation.

Malakas ang boses ni Kyungsoo mula sa kusina. May ipiniprito ito kaya panay ang takbo ni Chen palayo sa kalan.

Lay: Me, too! So tired!

Napalingon ang lahat sa pinto.

Kyungsoo: Hyung, you're always tired.

Natawa si Chen sa sinabi ni Kyungsoo.

Chen: So your name is Lay. (lei means tired in Chinese).

Binato naman ni Lay ng tsinelas si Chen na tumakbo para magtago sa likod ni Chanyeol.

Xiumin: Hey, stop playing!

Nakinig naman ang dalawa.

Baekhyun: Lay hyung, please call Kai. He's in the practice room. Woke up so early but can't fall back to sleep so he decided to practice.
