NARRATOR

You spent the afternoon strolling around Busan, visiting different parks and tourist spots and lastly, malls. All of you guys stepped in Shinsegae, the world’s largest department store.

*Omona, this is heaven!* Your eyes sparkled at the sight of colorful clothes and shoes.

The guys walked mindlessly behind you, not affected at all.

D.O. noticed your amusement and nudged Suho. “Xiumin told me, that we should not bring her to any mall if we want our arms to be spared.”

Suho chuckled. “Really? She shops that much?”

D.O. nodded. “Tao also told me that it’s normal to experience muscle pain in carrying Minhee’s paper bags.”

“Isn’t that exaggeration?” Chanyeol joined in. Baekhyun smirked. “It’s true, trust me.” He laughed inwardly, remembering your online shopping incident that he busted.

They were too engrossed in talking about your shopping disease, that they forgot about your presence. Sehun wailed like a little child, carrying 2 baskets filled with clothes and stuff.

“It’s heavvvvvvvyyyy!” He complained, slamming the baskets in front of his hyungs. They looked at him questioningly.

“Minhee got those?” Kai snickered.

“Yeah, and she’s still not done.” He pouted, pointing to you on the corner stuffing your cart with anything your eyes loved.

“Stop her! How can we help her control herself by just standing here?!” D.O. smacked the guys’ head. They instantly snapped and ran to you. Baekhyun got the baskets from Sehun and returned the clothes to where they belong.

*Aigo, Minhee. Lay was right, your condition is worse.* He chuckled to himself.

“Oh, Oppas!” This is cute, right?” You pouted, wearing a red knitted scarf around your neck. D.O fervently shook his head and snatched the scarf from you.

 “TOO. MUCH. SHOPPING.” He warned.

Your face fell. “Awwe, come one! It’s fun!” You retorted, but they stayed standing there with firm faces. Annoyed, you walked past them and went to Sehun.

“Sehunnie! Where are my baskets?” You lightly tapped his back.

He grinned. “Sorry.” He pointed to Baekhyun returning the clothes.

You frantically ran towards him. “Andwaeeeee!” He gave you a look and placed the baskets out of your reach. “B..But those are mine.” You pouted.

He softly smiled and poked your nose. “Self-control.”

You trudged out the department store, annoyed. “Killjoy.” The guys chuckled and trailed behind you.

“Ya, we were just trying to help.” Suho comfortingly placed his hands on your shoulders. You looked away and avoided his eyes.

“Remember your purpose here, Minhee. You can’t go back to China if you continue spending too much on those.” Chanyeol smiled and forced you to look at him. Defeated, you looked at him with a blank expression.

“Aigo, I never thought preventing you from shopping would pull down your mood.” Baekhyun chuckled and slung an arm around you. You looked at him glumly.

 Kai snickered. “Chaebol daughter disease.”

You shot him a look and he just stuck his tongue out playfully at you.

“You know what?” D.O. walked towards you and tapped your head.

“It doesn’t mean we would stop you from buying anything, Minhee. We just want you to control yourself. What you did a while ago was out of your self-control.” He explained.

“And…?” You urged. He smiled and wiggled his eyebrows. The other guys looked at him, confused.

“You can buy what you want, providing that it is something necessary, or something worth buying.” He pointed out. Your shoulders fell at what he said.

“But… all of those were worth buying.” You mumbled.

Kai was unable to contain himself anymore. He skipped to your side and gripped your wrist firmly.

“You know what’s worth buying right now?” He playfully swayed your hands.

You glumly answered. “What?”

“Food!” He beamed. Everybody’s face lit up with happiness. Even you smiled a little and skipped towards the nearest restaurant.

“Wrong timing, Lee Byunghyun.” You complained on the phone, excusing yourself from the guys to answer L.Joe’s call.

He chuckled on the other line. “Having fun living with them? You didn’t even call me.”

You smiled a little. “I’m in Busan right now. *sigh* Mom forced me to check on the clinic.”

L.joe laughed hearing you sigh. “You alone there? I’m bored, HeeHee!”

“Ya, you’re old enough. Why not go to your usual dates with different girls?

L.joe snickered at the other line. “I grew tired of them. Too… clingy.”

“I promise to meet you when I come home, ara? You little child.”

L.joe was laughing at the other line. “Ara, ara. I’ll call you. Enjoy there. Take care and don’t ever go to clubs. I’ll kill you if you do.”

“Ne, ne. Yes sir. I’ll behave. Bye, take care and don’t surround yourself with girls too much, you might get someone pregnant before you know it.”

‘”Ya!” He angrily replied.

“Love ya~~~” You beamed and pressed end. In your mind, you were already picturing out L.joe ruffling his hair in annoyance, cursing under his breath.

*Silly Byunghyun Oppa.* You chuckled to yourself, walking back towards the table.

 Sehun looked up and handed you a half-eaten brownie. “This is great, eat it.”

Suspiciously, you eyed him. “If it’s great, why are you giving it to me?” He laughed nervously in response.

“Don’t eat that. It tastes horrible.” Kai made a face as he wolfed on his cake. You shot Sehun a death glare, and he just pretended not to see it.
