"Zitao, Wu Yi Fan and Luhan, you are to return to EXO as soon as possible and pay all fines by the end of this year. Case closed." The gavel slammed down and all three of the young mens hearts sank. They were being forced back into their former band.
Tao gripped onto Kris' arm, tears already falling off of his chin as the three boys were frozen in place. "We…. we have to go back? They won't accept us!" Luhan ran his hand through his hair, gripping a handful as he squeezed his eyes shut. Kris clenched his jaw and stared with hollow eyes at the judge. "We will be okay, you two… We just need to stay calm. They all can't hate us.. Right?"
The van pulled up to the building, all three boys felt their stomachs sink as they slowly piled out of the door. None of them wanted to speak, or go inside to a hostile environment. The remaining EXO members were still feeling betrayed and all three boys knew it.
Kris and Luhan took the lead as they slowly made their way through the front doors of the familiar dorm, Tao gripping tightly onto both of their arms. Tao felt closer to these two men than he did to the others anymore. He knew he was going to have the hardest time with this, with the way everything blew up and the sudden unfollowing spree between him and the other members on social networks. They completely dropped communication with one another, and now they are being forced to live together again, whether they liked it or not.
It felt like time was moving slow, all three hearts racing as they made their way to the final door. Kris immediately reached for the handle, freezing in place as he looked back at the other two. "Remember, everything will work out. We just need to prove ourselves and regain their trust. We are still a family, we are one, remember." Kris gave a half broken smile as he took in a sharp breath and closed his eyes, here we go, the door slowly opened, each boy making their way inside the living room, all prepared for whatever is to happen now.
