"What?!"

Xiumin couldn't help but his eyes widened in shock and surprise about what Baekhyun had said. Or was he only imagine things? Because it was nearly impossible that Baekhyun had asked him to eat lunch with him and Jongdae. No not nearly. It was definitely impossible. As much as his life was completely complicated.

"Didn't you heard anything of what I said?", Baekhyun asked. "I invited you to lunch with me and Jongdae? It's rude not to answer me and ..."

Jongdae had to admit that he was going to be impatient. Baekhyun was late. Again. Okay that's not such a miracle, since he was it very often. Most probably Baekhyun never had learned to be coming in time. But today he was almost two and a half hours too late. That's a new record.
