NARRATOR

“I… I just want to apologize.” You stammered, fiddling on your oversized Lakers shirt.

Baekhyun leaned on his doorframe. “You already did, a while ago, right?”

You tilted your head up and looked at him. “But… I still feel that you’re angry.”

Baekhyun chuckled bitterly. “I’m not. Just... disappointed.”

“I know, we talked about this and I told you I’d do my best, yet I…”

He held his hand up to stop you from talking. “I just thought you would actually do your best and change. You told me you would, for your family. Seems like you forgot that.”

You bit your lower lip, lost for words. “I… I know. I did the wrong… thing. I fell into temptation.”

Baekhyun remained silent. He was just looking at, his eyes unreadable. You bowed your head and muttered a last apology before turning around to go to your room.

“Sleep well, Oppa.” You whispered before turning the knob. But, his voice again stopped you.

“Mian, I was just worried. What if the mafia got you? I mean, we were all worried. And I was disappointed and… that’s all. I’m sorry I acted like that.”

You looked at his eyes that were now soft and gentle.

“We’re now cool?” You smiled cheekily. Baekhyun nodded, a smile creeping up his lips. “Friends.”

“Yay! I thought I’d lose my fun Baekhyun Oppa.” You laughed, tightly hugging him. Baekhyun’s eyes widened. He slightly coughed and slowly caressed your hair awkwardly. “Yeah, so, go to sleep. It’s almost dawn.”

You nodded and ran off to your room like a little child. Baekhyun stood there, frozen.

He lightly hit his head on the doorframe.

“What was that?” He whispered to himself before entering his own room and falling off to dreamland.

“Good morning!!!!!!!” Sehun bounced on to your bed. You groggily opened your eyes and frowned. “I want to sleep.” You mumbled and turned to the other side of the bed.

“But I’m bored.” He pouted. You kicked him off the bed. He whined and shook you more. “Wake up, sleepyhead!”

You ignored him and continued closing your eyes. You could hear Suho scold Sehun. “She slept late. Let her be, Sehun. Go prepare coffee for your hyungs.”

“B…but—“

“Go now.”

The door closed and you went back to cloud nine.

The room was unusually dark. Your stomach was also grumbling. Lazily, you went to the bathroom to wash up, despite the hunger.  After changing into comfortable shorts and tank top, you went out to grab something for your complaining stomach.

The condo was unusually quiet. No one can be seen too. You scrunched your nose and grabbed a bowl of cereal. From the view on the window, the sun was shining brightly. *Oh, my curtains in he roo were closed...*

“You’re awake.” Kai plopped beside you and munched on an apple.

“Good morning.” You smiled. He chuckled. “It’s afternoon, Minhee. 3pm.”

You almost choked on your own food. “I slept too long. I’ll get fat!”

Kai smacked your head. “You’re already fat. Go get dressed up, we’re going out.”

You pouted. "Now? No way. I’m staying in.”

“The others are waiting for us, fatso. Wear something… formal. Suho hyung’s taking over their company, their celebrating it today.” He looked at his watch. “We’re off in an hour and a half.”

MINHEE’S POV

Aigo, the burden of living with these guys. They didn't even tell me in advance that there's a party.

Also, I didn’t bring anything formal to wear.

“Why are you not dressed young lady?”  Kai Oppa appeared on the door wearing his clad tux. I gave him a face.

“I’m waiting for my dress.” I said nonchalantly while watching television. He turned it off and flicked my forehed.

“The dress is not coming to you, young lady. You have to—“ He got cut off by the doorbell.

“It’s here!” I smiled.

Butler Jang got in the condo, with the maids rolling in a rack with my dresses.

“Young Miss, we picked out the latest dresses that you bought.” He bowed and got back to the elevator. I smiled and thanked him. Well, I could always depend on my family's trusted men. 

Kai Oppa was smirking. “You asked your butler to send these for you? ” He snickered.

“What? I didn’t know I’d need a dress.” I smiled innocently as I closed the door to my room.

After an hour, I was already dressed in a short, blue body-con dress. Kai Oppa whistled. “The fatso transformed!” He laughed. I pouted and walked with him to his car.

"You know, you're like Kris too, in a way." He started. I looked at him quizically. "Like...?"

He laughed. "Like a while ago, with the dresses and the butler. One time we wanted to play golf, the butler came barging in with his golf clubs."

I smiled at the thought of my brother being... spoiled. "And now he's telling me I'm spoiled. Where could I get it from?"

Kai snorted. "Siblings, really."

"By the way, Oppa. Why did the other Oppas go first?"

He focused on his driving while answering. "They need to go in with their families."

"And you..?"

"I choose to be the rebel one in our family. I'm young! I can do whatever I want." He chuckled.

We arrived at a big hall, surrounded by paparazzi everywhere.

“Is there a back door or something?” I whined. He shrugged and pulled me towards the back of the building.

NARRATOR

The 2^nd child of the Wu family dazzled the guests with her beauty and smile. She was shushed from here to there in the party, meeting people, representing her family’s company.

“Looks like you’re ready to take over the company.” Baekhyun handed you a champagne flute. You gladly accepted it.

“I’m not. Just the thought of working.. ugh.” You whined. Baekhyun chuckled.

"Why did you pass by the back door?" He asked.

"I don't want to get killed with those flashes." You snorted, with Baekhyun laughing at you.

“You look… beautiful tonight.” He complimented. Instantly, blood rushed to your cheeks. “Ah, thanks.”

You took in the time to observe Baekhyun as he conversed with businessmen. He looked really dashing in his suit. *He looks.. handsome.*

“Ya.” A familiar voice called you from behind. You turned around and saw L.joe.

“Oppa! You’re here.” You lightly hugged him. He smiled. “Yeah, dad forced me here. He’s doing it to me lately. Bringing me to business-related events.”

You laughed a little. “Soon, you’re going to work.”

He smirked. “I can feel that too.”

Baekhyun was watching you talk with L.joe. Somehow, he felt something bothering him inside.

*What is this feeling?* He lightly shook his head and gulped down his wine. The strong hot liquid didn’t even make him feel better. He was feeling weird.

“Hyung!” Sehun lightly punched his arm, he looked at him blankly.

“Have you seen Minhee?” Chanyeol walked in the scene too. Baekhyun looked at you intimately talking with L.joe. Occasionally holding hands, fixing his tie, him ruffling your hair.

He turned to his two friends.

“There!” He pointed. “Quick, go to her!” He smiled too widely.

Sehun reluctantly nodded, being pushed by Baekhyun. Chanyeol looked at him weirdly before going to you.

As soon as the 2 guys reached you, Baekhyun exhaled. L.joe already left you with the two.
