Practice was finally finished for everyone one; D.O. and Kai were fussing over dinner plans, causing a small fight between the two. Kai walked away and draped his arm over Kris' shoulders, "let's go get some BBQ, my treat." Kai smiled at Kris and started to nudge him forward. Kris pulled away and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I need to do a few things. Maybe tomorrow, and I'll pay. I want to spoil you like old times." Kai smiled at him and walked ahead, trying to round up anyone else that would like to get dinner with him.

Tao's gaze was fixed on Sehun, watching as he dragged his feet towards the back of the group that was heading out the door. Every part of him wants to fix things between them. 'Why did I ever let you go.' Tao tried to catch up to him but was stopped when Lay stepped in front of him. "Would like to get dinner with me and Chen?" Lay grabbed onto Tao's wrist dragging him towards Chen, not giving him a chance to answer. Tao felt so much guilt at this moment. He took this man's innocence without the intentions of being with him. His heart was still with Sehun, and now he was playing a dangerous game with Lay and somehow dragged Chen into it. What would happen next? Screwing every member in the house until he felt bold enough to get him back, or just run away again?

Suho's POV

Things have been a bit calm the past few days, or at least as calm as they could get. Kai and D.O. have been having constant little fights, but it's nothing they can't make it through. I have to admit, I'm jealous of them and Chanyeol and Baek. They have two of the strongest couples I have encountered and have lasted a few years now. My mind started to immediately drift back to Kris. I shook my head and started to walk quickly out of the building. I figured I could speak to Minho and see if he could give me any advice. I also owe him dinner after the week I spent with him and the rest of SHINee. I pulled out my phone and started to send him a text, not paying attention to where I was walking.

I bumped into a taller figure in front of me and looked up. My heart felt like it was about to explode out of my chest as I made eye contact with Kris. 'Please not now, I don't think I'm ready for this.' I stepped away and tried to move around him, "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." His hand gripped onto my arm and pulled me back towards him. "Please, just let me talk to for a few minutes. I promise to no longer bother you if you tell me, just give me a chance to speak to you first." I yanked my arm away from him and started to tremble, all my emotions were like a storm right now. "No, Yi Fan, just don't.. I can't with this." I turned around to face him, my hands were shaking as I tried to get a grip on myself. "Please, Suho, just give me a chance." I let out a laugh that didn't even sound like me, "why should I? You are with Xiumin and I'm happy for you. End of story. We had something, but with how close you have been with Xiu, I already know what will be said next, so please, just save it.. I'm happy for you. We can still talk, but for now I just need some time to get used to seeing you two…" I felt my voice crack on the last few words as I started to try and walk away. His hand gripped onto mine as tightly as he could. I looked up at him, my eyes stinging as I tried to fight back the tears. "Please, Yi Fan, let me go.." I tugged my arm away from him and felt him slowly let me go. Just like that, I was able to let him go. Congratulations Xiu, you have the man that will always have my heart.

I walked away and continued to head down the street. I didn't want to speak to anyone from our dorm right now. He couldn't even be honest with me, none of them could. What else is being hidden from me? I took out my phone and searched through my contacts list. Dialing Minho's number, I waited for him to pick up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's Suho…"

"I know, I do have you in my contacts list, remember? So, what are you up to? Do you want to join us for dinner?"

I let out a small sob and tried my best to keep myself calm and just answer him.

"Y-yeah, that would be nice…" If you don't mind that is. I was kinda hoping I could stay with you guys tonight. I hated to feel like I was being overly needy, but he is someone I can run to..

"Of course! You know you can always come over whenever you need. I can tell something is bothering you. We will get take out and pick you up, where are you?"

I looked around for a moment trying to figure out my location. It took a few moments until I was able to tell him where I was. He decided to send a vehicle for me and told me to stay where I was. This is going to be a long night…

Kris' POV

Everything is just a fucking nightmare. I can't seem to get a grip on anything, and the more I try the worse it becomes. Maybe if I just stop trying… I pulled out my phone and tried to get myself together to text Suho, but all I could do was stare at my screen. I hate this so much. My feet started to move on their own, I have no idea where I'm going but I'm just going to keep walking I guess.

I heard small footsteps behind me, every part of me is hoping it is Suho and that maybe he realized he jumped the gun. I quickly spun around and looked down to find Xiumin. Of all people right now! Every part of me was filled with rage, that was until I looked into his eyes. He's just as lost as I am… "I didn't want to go with the others to dinner and kinda noticed you were alone so.." I smiled and wrapped my arm around his shoulder, guiding him down the street with me. "Let's go get some dinner together then, shall we?" He relaxed next to me while we made our way through downtown, trying to decide on what sounded great for dinner.

Xiumin stopped walking and tugged on my shirt, making sure I didn't keep walking without him. "What is it Xiu?" I looked at him and followed his gaze to a window. Luhan was inside a restaurant with Lay, Chen and Tao. I noticed him tense up before letting out a small sigh and walked closer to the window. Chen noticed him through the window and nudged Luhan. I quickly walked past the window, gripping onto Xiumin's hand and dragging him with me. "Let's just go back to the dorm. I'll order us food and play some movies for you." Xiumin nodded his head and moved closer to me, his head resting on my chest, muffled cries escaping. He doesn't deserve this type of pain..

We finally made it to the dorm, we were in the living room but he insisted we stay in his room. I couldn't tell him no right now, not with everything that has been going on. We watched a few movies, a mix of comedies and horror movies. He couldn't stomach any movies with romance and frankly, neither could I. He was still battling his thoughts and I could see that, his eyes were still puffy from crying at random moments. I felt exhausted and stretched myself across his bed, being careful not to bump into him. I heard a few more small sobs come from him and I couldn't handle it any more. I reached up and wrapped my arms around him, pulling him down to cuddle up to me. He relaxed as soon as his head rested on my chest. My fingers gently ran up and down his back, trying my best to sooth him. He looked up at me, a small smile was on his face but I could still see that he was thinking of him.I don't know what has been coming over me. With being constantly accused of being with him and how close we have been recently… maybe I should just be with him? We are in the same boat and we have searched for comfort in each other, what could go wrong?

I traced my hand gently along his jawline and continued to look him in the eye. I felt his heartbeat skip when I looked down at his lips. Licking mine, I just went for it and cupped his cheek in my hand, leaning forward to gently connect our lips together. He went still for a moment, his lack of response made me begin regretting my actions. I started to pull away, his hand gripped onto my shirt as he finally responded, kissing me back. My arms gently tightened around him, pulling him closer into our kiss. He slowly pulled away, looking up at me, "that… was interesting." He laughed a bit and nuzzled himself against me. "We should probably go to bed. We have a busy couple days after tomorrow. We have to start prepping for our first concert as a twelve member group again." I sat up, getting ready to head to my room. He sat up next me, he kept his head down while he played with the hem of his shirt. "Do you think you could stay with me tonight? Just for the night?" He had a small blush, avoiding eye contact with me. How could I say no to him right now? "Of course, Xiu." I kicked off my shoes and stood up to get ready for bed. I could feel his eyes on me when I started to take my shirt off. Turning around, I dropped my shirt on the floor, "like what you see?" I winked playfully and dropped my pants, now only in my boxers. I crawled back into his bed, getting comfortable under the blankets and waited for him to join after he finished stripping down his boxers. He lifted the blanket and crawled under next to me. I opened my arms and reached out for him. "Come on, let's cuddle." He laughed and wrapped his arms around me, nuzzling himself close to me. I chuckled and made small circles in the small of his back. This surprisingly felt right, especially right now. I put my hand under his chin, tilting his face up so I could look at him. I took in his features, the way his lips always showed his gummy smile when he was happy, his eyes, everything. I kissed him gently on the lips and pulled him a little closer. "Goodnight Xiumin.." He rested his head in the crook of my neck, "Goodnight, Kris."

Luhan's POV

I ended up tagging along with Tao, Lay and Chen for dinner. Sehun and Xiumin had followed Kai out for dinner while D.O. was with Chanyeol and Baekhyun. Tao was fussing over the menu, not wanting to eat anything that would make him fat. Chen was happily scrolling through his phone, Lay was giving Tao all of his attention. I'm not surprised, especially after walking into the room the other night. I shuddered at the memory of those two being together. My only question now though, did something happen with Chen too? All three have been glued to each other all morning. Chen was another one I thought was straight, but later we discovered he's bi. Good for him, but all these events have been too much.

Chen placed his phone down and put his arm around my shoulders, "what's up with you tonight? Usually you are joking and being loud." I shrugged my shoulders and took out my phone. I had a few new messages and wasn't sure if I wanted to read them all now or later. Tao seemed to be in the same boat. He was stiff and looking through his phone. Lay was pouting when Tao was no longer paying attention to him and seemed to be glued to his phone. I decided to text him and see what was going on, making sure we wouldn't have to explain ourselves in front of the other two.

Hey, everything alright over there? Did something happen?- sent

Tao didn't look up and continued typing on his phone. My phone buzzed and I waited a moment to read it.

Just peachy, Lu. What about you?- Tao

I can see you are a bit irritated at the moment. I just have a lot on my mind.

We can talk about it at the dorm, I have a feeling it may about the same people. Let's enjoy dinner with these two, yeah?- Tao

That works for me… Just be careful, you're playing with fire. If you hurt Lay, I don't think anyone could forgive you. Think this through before you completely leed him on….

Tao looked up at me, his eyes looked bloodshot, like he just spent two days drinking non stop. I can already tell our talk is going to be a bit rough once we are back at the dorm. Chen nudged me with his elbow and nodded his head towards the window. I saw someone slip by the window but couldn't make out who it was. Shrugging it off I focused on dinner with the other three. We decided to head straight afterwards. Everyone was tired and looking forward to our free day tomorrow.

Me and Tao headed straight for our room to get ready for bed. Kris wasn't in the room, which we assumed he was out with the others for dinner. Chen came into our room and flopped down onto Kris' bed. Tao cocked his eyebrow, "you know he doesn't like it when someone uses his bed without permission." Chen rolled onto his side and flicked his wrist at us, "he's in my room with Xiumin. From the looks of it, they might be nude. I'm just going to crash in here tonight." Tao looked at me and cringed. My face felt like it was on fire; Xiumin and Kris are in the same bed? I sat down on my bed, not wanting to believe what I just heard. It can't be true. Chen is known for constantly pranking us, him and Chanyeol both. I got up and headed down the hall towards his room. I put my hand on the doorknob and took in a deep breath. "It can't be.." I cracked the door open, taking a moment to let my eyes adjust so I could see. My heart immediately dropped once I saw them. Xiumin was cuddled up closely to Kris. Kris' arms were wrapped around the others smaller frame.

I closed the door, resting my forehead on the door frame. Tao wrapped his arms around me, pulling me against his chest. "Come on let's go to bed, Lu." I nodded, dragging my feet back to our room. "I can't lose him to Kris, Tao.. I just can't."
