Every once in a while, the people on EXO neighborhood would have a gathering, where they would throw some sort of a barbecue party, gossip (mostly Baekhyun, Luhan, Chen and Xiumin and maybe Chanyeol would join in) and sometimes, get wasted together. It wasn't always that they would do that, because all of the residents are rich businessman, celebrities, or others that are equally busy as well. But when they do, it's usually saturday and it'll be held at one of the houses in EXO.

Now it's Saturday night and everyone at EXO residence are pretty free, so they agreed to hold the gathering/party at Park Chanyeol's house. Luhan, Baekhyun, Chen and Kyungsoo are responsible for bringing the food (meaning meat, lots of it). Yifan, Jongin, Xiumin and Tao are responsible for the drink (like wine, champagne, whiskey and other drink that are expensive, you name it). If lucky, Jiyong, the owner of EXO Residential would join them as well as bringing them gifts (Tao begged him last month to give him a limited edition PMO clutches and Baekhyun casually stated he needs more eyeliner).

The owner of the house however, need to prepare nothing else but the place where they would held their gathering. It was settled before that Chanyeol would held some sort of backyard party, thanks to the nice weather they have been enjoying for the past month. Due to his slight perfectionist traits, Chanyeol has completed his tasks two hours before their usual gathering hour - having nothing to do except for waiting, Chanyeol decides to browse IG to kill time.

Chanyeol don't follow many people on instagram, except maybe all 9 EXO residents other than him and some of his producer friends. Oh maybe some meme pages because everybody needs meme in their lives.

The first thing he sees when he opens his IG is Baekhyun's update, a selfie of him and Luhan shopping together - "only the best thing for your stomach, got it? Yes~" the caption says and Chanyeol laughs at that. "Go expensive meat!", he commented.

He scrolls down, an update from the galaxy hyung. It was a picture of a wine store, posted about 15 minutes ago. The caption says, "rule number one, never let the "wives" buy wine themselves - or else they would end up buying the whole store", Chanyeol put a single "true" in the comment section.

The next is a post from the "big boss" (his personal nickname for Kwon Jiyong, the owner of EXO Residential). A picture of a streetlight taken by him from his car. The caption says, "coming home," he could see Baekhyun, Tao even Xiumin's comments. Baekhyun said, "my fukin eyeliner yas daddy", typical of him, Chanyeol laughs. Tao's "#clutchesfortao the best father ever xoxo" and Xiumin's "arrive safely, husband kekeke", he needed the laugh, seriously those three. He put one of his own, "you better not forget your number one favorite kid, #kwonchanyeol dad woo" what else did you expect, seriously.

The next posts are from his producer friends, he ended up liking them all. He smiled to himself and put his phone down on the table, heading to his kitchen to get something to drink while waiting for the time to come - the first guest to arrive would probably be here like 30 minutes from now.

5 minutes later he is back to his spot in his living room, one hand holding his phone and the other holding a can of cola. He saw a notification, Jiyong mentioned him in a comment on instagram. Chanyeol never clicked anything that fast in his life.

It was a reply to his post earlier, which were commented by Baekhyun, Tao, Xiumin and him. The comment says, "I hope you'll like it ;) @bbybaekreal of course, son @hzttao thank you, first wife kekeke @xiuhamsterdadda of course child, why would I ever forget about you ily #kwonchanyeol @pcykwon" which has him shrieking in pure delight.

Chanyeol spent the next 30 minutes browsing his phone when he heard the bell to his house rang loudly. He quickly got up on his feet and ran to the main door as fast as possible.

"A yo waddup, Krease," he says when he sees Yifan standing there with two bottles of super expensive wine.

"a yo wassup," the businessman replied and they both got involved in a "brotherly hug". Chanyeol and Yifan got inside, Chanyeol letting the front doors open as wide as possible, a sign of welcoming the other incoming guests.

"Tao will bring the champagne," Yifan says and Chanyeol gives him a very big grin.

"you know what, best day ever," Chanyeol begins, making Yifan rises an eyebrow.

"Never knew you'd be that excited because the gathering will be held at your place," Yifan mocked.

Chanyeol laughs, "I am excited for this too, you see, but that's not what I meant," he pauses then explained quickly, "papa Kwon is coming over~"

Yifan stops whatever he was doing and looks at Chanyeol, eyes wide open. "He's coming?" Chanyeol nods happily.

Kwon Jiyong may have his own private house in his own Residential, but being the busy man he always is, he rarely joins the neighborhood gathering, despite being the one who came up with the whole gathering idea in the first place. The last time he was available for the gathering was four gatherings before now, which was over three months ago. Whenever he joins them for a gathering, Jiyong usually brings gifts with him for everyone, basically treating everyone like his own kids (or wives, in Xiumin, Luhan and Chen's case - they self proclaimed to be Jiyong's wives which had the man laughing when the three of them were jokingly fighting over him) - spoiling them every chance he gets.

"He's getting Baek the most expensive eyeliner known to human kind and limited edition PMO clutches for Tao. He said he doesn't forget about me also," he explains happily, jumping up and down like a little kid. "ohmy I'm so happy~!"

"wonder what he's getting everyone else this time," Yifan said, slowly contaminated by Chanyeol's childisness.

Even though Yifan is a grown ass and rich ass businessman, he can't help but being excited whenever Kwon Jiyong spoils him. In EXO everyone are successful and could afford anything they want, but when they got together they are like little kids and Jiyong is their rich ass father.

Time flies pretty quickly and everyone (except the Father who is still on his way, probably) are already gathered at Chanyeol's. They are currently scattered in Chanyeol's large backyard. Chanyeol, Chen and Kyungsoo in charge of grilling the meat, Yifan, Jongin and Tao are playing a game of poker. By the pool are Baekhyun, Xiumin and Luhan together, feet on the water, each holding a glass of wine and in between them stand a bottle of wine Yifan previously purchased.

"I accidentally heard from Seungri that someone is buying the empty house across mine," Baekhyun states, sipping the delicious and expensive taste of the wine and mentally thanking Yifan for it.

"awesome," Luhan comments, "we'll be having another member then," Baekhyun and Xiumin agreed in unison.

"but will it be a woman or a man though?" asks Xiumin, sipping on his own wine.

"not sure," Baekhyun shrugs. "But I bet it'll be another man. I mean, isn't it pretty fishy that everyone who lives here are all men?"

"oh my gosh, Baek," Luhan eyed Baekhyun in the eye. "My thoughts exactly"

The three nods at the same time.

The three went silent for a minute thinking about how indeed it was pretty fishy that everyone living at EXO are all men, handsome men at that, Baekhyun mentally nods in approvement.

"a question, though," Xiumin chimes, "would our beloved neighbor be cute or smoking hot?"

The three once again went silent, thoughts full with the possibilities of the new neighbor would be.

"may he be smoking hot, cause," Baekhyun eyed Chanyeol, who is busy grilling the meat and, "dayum"

Luhan and Xiumin laughed so loud that the three of them caught the attention of the other 6 men there. They earned themself 6 headshakes and a "gossip queens" from Chen.

Xiumin kind of agree with Baekhyun because hell, Xiumin loves looking at hot stuffs. Yifan for example, but sadly the both of them aren't attracted to each other like that and Xiumin only admires his look sometimes. Besides Xiumin think of Yifan as more of a brother type than a potential love interest.

But Chen, though.

Luhan on the other hand, always have a soft spot for a manly cutie. Smoking hot is alright, because every people needs a smoking hot person in their lives, but men who are cute and gentle, a total yes for Luhan.

Less than 5 minutes later, Kwon Jiyong finally made an appearance - which obviously were greeted enthusiastically by 9 overgrown puppies. He came in not holding anything, but there are two people behind him holding wrapped boxes that are exactly 9 in total, making Baekhyun gasped dramatically and shouted a "totally daddy material". Oh boy.

"sorry I'm late kids," he apologizes, eyes looking at his 'kids' one by one, "wives," and then looking at his three 'wives', Xiumin, Luhan and Chen.

They all sat together on 10 chairs that were arranged neatly in a big circle by Chanyeol earlier. In the middle of those chairs is a big wooden table, wide enough for the food that the trio cooked before and the drinks and other necessary things.

"I'm sorry that I've been busy that I have missed four gatherings," Jiyong apologized once again.

Jongin, representing the rest of the people gathered there, wave a hand in front of his face. "No it's okay, dad. We all understand," the youngest there says. Jiyong appreciates them and smiles his famous gummy smile.

"at least you make up for everything by buying us presents," Tao chimes, eyes sparkling because hell yeah a limited edition PMO clutches.

They all laughed at Tao's antics. Jiyong takes out the presents give them out one by one.

As expected, Baekhyun received a pair of expensive eyeliner, plus an expensive waterproof foundation, all received by a very happy Baekhyun. Tao got himself limited edition PMO clutches as promised. Kyungsoo got himself a limited edition PMO shoes that has some sort of silver thorns - a present that got everyone except Jiyong gulps because did you see that evil look on his face when he got it? Another weapon for Satansoo.

Kris got an expensive shades and a silver watch that had the businessman excited. Chen got himself a golden mic that made his eyes widen because holy, this thing is very expensive what the hell. The self-proclaimed Kwon Chanyeol got himself two snapbacks and a furry hat, the ones Chanyeol had been crying over for because he couldn't get his hands on because they had been sold out at the time. How did Jiyong got his hands on these are beyond Chanyeol.

Jongin got himself a pair of shoes, Jiyong said that those are designed for dancers so they could dance with lesser chance of getting injured and Jongin is already liking his present. Thankful because his 'dad' is really thoughtful. Luhan got himself a jacket from a famous brand, one that Luhan have been wanting to buy for a while. Xiumin got a two animal head hats, a wolf and a cat also a cat onesie - Jiyong said that when he look at them, they reminds him of Xiumin a lot so he decided to get them for Xiumin. Jiyong also said that he got himself a onesie too, a wolf, so they couple.

That's it,Xiumin thought,which between JiMin and XiuYong is going to be the ship name for Jiyong and me?

The gathering went like usual - after the opening gift session, they eat, talk and drink. Baekhyun, remembering the topic to Luhan, Xiumin and his gossip earlier, decides to brought it up. He also wants to confirm this news with the owner of EXO, who is now sitting a couple of seats away from him, right between Xiumin and Chen.

"Daddy, is it true that we'll be having a new neighbor?"

The chatterings went down after Baekhyun's question. Everyone are now looking at Jiyong, hopeful eyes from Tao, Luhan, Xiumin, Baekhyun himself and Chen. Kyungsoo, Yifan, Jongin and Chanyeol looks interested in this whole new neighbor thing Baekhyun brought up.

"Who told you about that?" he asks back, but knows about the answer as soon as that question left his lips. "It was Seungri, wasn't it?" Baekhyun nods sheepishly.

Seungri is a friend of Jiyong. He is currently active in the entertainment industry, so it's only natural for Baekhyun to know him. They both are pretty close, to be quite honest (Fine. They are gossip buddies, okay?). Seungri happened to drop the bomb to him by accident but quickly said, "well that's what I've been hearing lately".

Jiyong takes a deep breath. "Well for starters, it's true," everyone are now looking at each others with excited faces. Well maybe except Kyungsoo because he simply don't show emotions except maybe his evil look that always present whenever he is thinking about something bad. Satansoo.

"but," once again Jiyong successfully caught the attention of everyone. "You'll be getting not a neighbor, but neighbors. Meaning, there will be two people living here with us starting from monday"

"males, females, or male and female?" asks Chen.

"males, relationship unknown"

"are they good looking?" now the attention are all turned to Kyungsoo, who innocently asked the question out of the blue. Well, the question was to be expected in a conversation like this, but it's a question that would typically bounce from Luhan, Xiumin, or Baekhyun, but not Kyungsoo.

"hyung, I thought you aren't into that kind of thing?" Jongin asked, clearly puzzled by Kyungsoo's sudden change of heart.

"what? I'm always into 'that kind of thing', to put it your way," he answered honestly. "it's just that, none of you - well except you, dad - caught my attention so far"

"so, are you actually saying that we aren't good looking to you?" Chanyeol asked.

Kyungsoo's 'why, isn't that obvious? Why would you ask?' look is enough of an answer for them.

The gathering went until all of them were very wasted. Thank God that their new neighbors won't be here for a couple days, or else they would be greeted by a bunch of people puking all over the place because apparently, everyone in EXO are alcoholics.

Won't be making that kind of image, right?
