[A/N: just replying to your sweet comments.

@Delly_BoiBBC- Well, go on, read and find out. Kekeke.

@iprincesscasey- Bingo. Jackpot. I've got no prize for you though. Meh :(

@danlyy- Oh dear, if I'd try to please all of you guys, this fic would turn out like... Picasso. Or well, if he'd ever written fanfics, that is. I highly doubt, though.

@shesback- WHAT OTHER PLACE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE, HMM?

Lol Kitty was meant to be as stoopid as it can get. Thank you for referring to me as a genius.

<--- This is me.

Yes, it's the way he looks at Luhan :3 I never thought about it to be honest.

And isn't that the point? Hmm? 

@inspirit-beauty- Ship HunHan much, ayy? There won't be any in this fic though :( 

@panzym- Shushushuuuuu whoot whoot whoot. Indeed, he's a kind-hearted stalker. Who wouldn't take it as a compliment? I sure would.

@Cshinmi- Another Hunhan mention... Hmmm...

Attention please, dear readers. So... you want some HunHan to be in it or?... What? 

Over and out]

„Lay, what are you doing here?“ I was in pure shock and so was he. I let my hands drop to my sides. He just stood there, his mouth opened. I heard footsteps and suddenly saw Kai, Chanyeol and Sehun standing in the doorway. Kai just froze along with Sehun. But there was pure worry and protectiveness in Chanyeol’s eyes as he walked to me and held my shoulders. Kai also started walking toward me, but when he saw Chanyeol already on his way, he stopped and switched his gaze to the floor.

„Geez, are you okay?“ Chanyeol asked with a soft voice. „You look like a tornado crossed with your path.“

His sad looking eyebrows, his eyes searching for possible scratches or places that could hurt, his soft low voice. It all calmed me down in an instant and I felt safe. I wanted to enjoy that moment of peace just a few more seconds. I hadn’t felt peaceful for a while now, and it was so relaxing now. Until Luhan broke my moment of peace.

„Wait, you know them?“ his eyebrows were furrowed and he looked confused.

„Wait, how do you know HER?“ Kai suddenly snapped.

„I’ve known her since we were kids, mind to share your explanation?“

„I-... We saved her.“ Kai stuttered. I? What was that about?

„Saved her?“ Luhan repeated as his eyes narrowed even more.

„Whoa, whoa, whoa, what exactly is going on in here?“ Kris suddenly asked.

„Hey, you didn’t see her that day, she got drugged!“ Kai defended himself without even noticing Kris.

„Drugged? What nonsense are you talking about? Did you drug her?“ Luhan snapped. Kai stiffened at that remark.

„What is going on?“ I asked and looked up to Chanyeol. I didn’t understand anything. Chanyeol gave me a supporting smile.

„We all know each other too. Shall we leave them here to calm down and make you some tea?“ Chanyeol proposed. „I promise I’m not as clumsy as Lay, not a single drop will be on the tray nor on your clothes.“

I felt thankful for him for trying to lighten up the mood. I hopped and sat on the counter. Chanyeol leaned to the counter as well and put his hands on his hips.

„Do you really think Luhan is okay with you sitting on the kitchen counter?“ he faked a gasp. I smiled at him and nodded. I’ve sat on this very spot countless times. At first Luhan fought against it, but eventually he gave up and let me sit there. I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt Chanyeol’s hand brush against my thigh. I jumped in surprise.

„Ah, sorry, I just wanted to plug the kettle in.“ He casually said with a smile, but I saw his cheeks turn pink. I secretly peeked at him and he was ruffling his hair and seemed frustrated. I couldn’t help but smile and pretended I never saw it.

Chanyeol made the tea in silence and when it was ready, he turned to me.

„Wanna tell me why you are here?“ he calmly asked and looked me in the eyes.

„I, uhh...“ I muttered as he moved closer to me. He stopped in front of me and rested his palms on the edges of the counter without taking his eyes off mine.

„It’s okay, you don’t have to tell me. But I have to admit that I’d like to know.“ He added with a slight nod. We heard footsteps and I peeked over Chanyeol’s shoulders to see who it was. Lay. His face fell at the sight and he emotionlessly told us to gather in the living room. I hopped down the counter but forgot that Chanyeol’s hands were locking the way. I put a lot of effort into not falling on his feet, which I didn’t. But by the time I landed, I realized that there was barely any room between us. Chanyeol quickly understood the situation and stepped away. Was I overthinking or were these situations a slight bit awkward? Chanyeol didn’t seem that bothered, maybe I shouldn’t either?

We entered the living room, Chanyeol had the tray in his hands and he gently put it on the table. I sat down on the free couch. Luhan immediately sat beside me.

„How do you all know each other?“ I quickly asked.

„I hung out with them when I was younger.“ Luhan carefully told me. I nodded and mouthed an „okay“ to him.

„We need you to tell us what happened to you.“ He insisted.

„I didn’t get a job by the right time and lost my apartment.“ I replied. Luhan sighed in frustration.

„Okay, if this is all that you’re telling us. Let’s move on. What are your plans?“

„Get a job.“ I shrugged my shoulders.

 „Stay here.“ He softly said.

„I’m not going to run away,“ I tried to laugh it off.

„No, stay here. In this house. Live with me.“ He said sincerely and looked at me with sad eyes. My eyes widened at his offer.

„Permanently?“ I asked, not believing him. He eagerly nodded.

„So you’re going to stay?“ his eyes were hopeful this time. I nodded and he pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead about ten times. I felt a little awkward with 5 guys watching Luhan snuggle the freak out of me. Luhan let out a happy sigh and started talking to the other guys.

„So for long are you staying?“

Kris shrugged his shoulders, Sehun was quiet.

„I’m in no hurry.“ Lay spoke up.

„Neither am I“ added Chanyeol.

„I’m staying for as long as they do. Couldn’t stand an empty apartment.“ Kai kept his cool. Luhan smiled widely at the sight of all of the people giving him company.

A few days had passed and I’ve sent a few CV-s to the local companies. The chances to get a job here are way better than they were back where I lived. On a sunny day, I was skipping to a place I now call home. I had a wide smile on my face. I had just successfully finished a job interview and I had a really good feeling about it, I felt really confident about getting this job. I was almost inside already, when I heard whistling. I looked at the direction and saw a funky looking guy. He had lots of different colors in his hair and his clothes had lots of spikes and interesting prints. I narrowed my eyes, trying to figure out what on earth could he want from me.

„You’re new here.“ He pointed out the obvious.

„Yes.“ I simply replied, waiting for him to get on with his point.

„Name?“ he laconically asked.

„I see no reason why you’d need to know my name...“ I carefully said. He scooted over and put an arm around me. 

„I wanna know the name of my princess.“ He smirked. There was an odd looking piercing underneath his upper lip. What does this weird guy want from me? I was already wiggling my way out of his grasp when a strong pair of hands pushed him off me and smoothly pulled, soon enough I found myself behind my hero’s protective body.

„Stay away from my girlfriend!“ I heard Kai growl. Girlfriend? I had to admit, it was awkward, but I was dying of curiosity. The weird guy jogged away, clearly being annoyed. When Kai turned to me, I tried to keep calm and ask him emotionlessly about the girlfriend thing, but I couldn’t help but have a retarded grin on my face.

„Since when I’m your girlfriend?“ I laughed. Although Kai was the one who had a straight face.

„It was the best way to keep him away from you.“ He stated. My face fell in embarrassment. This didn’t even qualify as a joke. When we already got inside, I remembered about my good day and started telling them all the details.
