It's been two weeks since Luhan had overheard what his friends and new roommates had to say about him. Things seemed to get better. Luhan was still smiling and treating everyone the same as he had before. Only since the event he had gotten much closer to Lay, Kai, and Sehun. If you were looking for any of them they would be with, at least, one of them. The others though seemed to tip-toe around Sehun since his outburst. And he just out right ignores everyone else. Suho and Kris never did have that talk with the others.

"Baekhyun I swear if you don't pick up your cookie bag i'm throwing it away!" Kris yelled from in the Kitchen. It was his turn to make breakfast.

"Hyeong, no! I just got that bag yesterday!" Baekhyun said running into the kitchen.

"Then put them away."

Baekhyun pouted but smiled and did as he was told. Kris sighed. Why did he agree to living with them again? Oh yeah. He was helping out a friend. "Now go and get the others. Breakfast is almost ready."

"Un!"

Baekhyun ran upstairs and straight to his room. Chanyeol was still sleeping. "Chanyeol! wake up!"

"Ugh. What-Baekhyunnie why so early?"

"Breakfast is almost done." he paused, "You do know that Kris-hyeong is cooking right?"

That made chanyeol sit up straight his eyes wide. He really had nothing wrong with Kris but his cooking was horrible."Jeongmal!?"

"Deh. You might want to get down there otherwise you will get the burnt parts again."

Baekhyun laughed as Chanyeol tumbled out of bed furiously kicking off his sheets. "One down. Now to DO's room."

He knocked on DO's door and was disappointed when he answered the door already dressed. "Oh you're up."

"Yeah. I had nothing to do." DO laughed. He was used to making 90% of the meals in the house so he wasn't used to others cooking. "Suho, Tao, and chen are already up. They went out for a jog." 

Baekhyun nodded. That left Lay, Luhan, Xiumin, and Kai. He smiled evilly but paused. "Wait is Kai in there?" He tried to peak around DO, who looked confused.

"No, he didn't come here last night. He could be sleeping in Sehun's room. Lord knows those two can be inseparable." He muttered before smiling slightly at Baekhyun and walking downstairs after closing his door.

Baekhyun sighed. Why doesn't anyone stay in their own rooms!? He didn't want to track everyone down when he had to get them for breakfast. He tapped on Sehun's door. Nothing, being impatient Baekhyun opened the door and sighed. Sehun and Kai were dancing around the room with headphones on. "Yah!"

Sehun jumped and fell off the bed in shock. "ow. Hyeong! You didn't have to yell."

Kai said nothing as he pulled his friend up and started pulling him towards the door. He still wasn't happy with how his hyeongs acted. Sehun just followed and gave a small wave to Baekhyun. He was shocked at Kai's behavior and frowned. What was wrong? Was he still upset about last time? He shrugged and smiled he would get over it. He was just being stubborn. He turned and saw Lay leaving the bathroom rubbing a towel over his head.

"Hyeong!"

"Oh, good morning."

"Is Luhan hyeong in the room?"

"Aniyo, He never came home last night." Lay stated softly.

He didn't know what to say. Though it wasn't that surprising. Luhan hadn't been coming home most nights lately. He knew it was bothering Lay and some of the other Hyeongs. Honestly, even he was a bit worried. He couldn't help but wonder what Luhan was doing. "oh...breakfast is ready." He smiled and went downstairs shouting: "Xiumin hyeong! I'm going to eat all of the food!"

"don't even joke about that!" Xiumin said closing the front door.

Lay sighed. He wasn't hungry, he couldn't help but worry about Luhan. He lied when he said that he hadn't come home last night. He did but he didn't stay long, maybe a few hours.

--

Lay was sitting on his bed when the bedroom door opened. He looked over and saw Luhan walk in. He smiled softly. "Luhan-ge, welcome home."

"Thanks Lay." Luhan fell onto his bed with a bounce and a sigh. He was sore and tired, he really didn't know why he came back tonight. Maybe to sleep in his own bed? He didn't know.

"How was the hunt?"

"I found a few places but I have to look at them again to make sure."

"Ah."

Lay stood up and walked over to him and helped him onto the bed. Luhan was half laying on the bed, half kneeling on the floor. He pulled him up and set him on the bed in a sitting position. This had become a routine for the two for the past few days. He pulled up his shirt, luhan moved slightly to help him take it off. Luhan sat there for a second in his tank top before turning and laying on his stomach. Lay sat beside him and began rubbing his back and shoulders. 

"Hyeong..."

"Hmm?"

"Do you really have to leave?"

"...deh...this place quit feeling like home since i moved in here when i was 19."

"But you have Sehun, Kai, and I."

Luhan didn't say anything.'for how long,' was what he wanted to say but what came out: "I know but I think its for the best for now. I need to get away."

Lay frowned. He was just getting to know the older man and now he was leaving. He didn't know why but he felt possessive of him. Or maybe it was more protective. He didn't want him to get hurt. 

"Hyeong?"

Silence. 

"Hyeong?" lay looked down at Luhan and smiled. He had fallen asleep. "You know, you don't have to leave. You have both Kai and Sehun. They won't let you leave without a fight." He laughed, "You should have heard them today on the way back from their classes, Both of them arguing who liked you more. It was very cute." He rubbed gentle circles on his back, Luhan moved closer to Lay and snuggled into his thigh throwing an arm around his waist. He smiled. "Hyeong...you also have me. If you need someone to lean on. Just trust me."

Lay shifted and curled around Luhan. He smiled when Luhan shifted and buried his head against his chest. Lay felt his eyes begin to droop as sleep started to claim him. Not soon enough his eyes closed and his breathing evened out. Luhan opened his eyes carefully and sat up. He moved off of his bed and grabbed a random shirt from a drawer. He didn't care whose it was. He had to go to work. Not that he would tell the others about it. He looked at Lay and smiled, his heart fluttering. "Thank you Lay. Maybe I will reconsider moving if i can keep you with me."

--

Kris looked at everyone at the table and signaled for everyone to dig in. TO which everyone hesitated. Chen was the first one to bite the bullet and grabbed some pot-stickers along with some kimchi. He was playing it safe. After that everyone was grabbing a bit of everything. Sehun's face turned green as he bit into his egg roll. Today's food was a mixture of everything...They had western eggs and bacon, those didn't taste too bad; they had kimchi, potstickers, and rice along with Baozi. 

"Kris hyeong...maybe you shouldn't cook anymore." Suho stated looking at the green faces of his room-mates and friends.

Kris nodded. He made the eggs to salty...again.

--

Kai tapped Sehun and pointed to his phone. Sehun shook his head. He'd been trying to get a hold of Luhan since early this morning. No such luck. Kai sighed and looked over towards Lay. He'd stuck with eating his rice, but he looked even more dazed than usual. Kai was worried. Both of his hyeongs were acting weird and no one else seemed to notice.

"Kai...Do you know where Luhan-ge is?"

Kai looked over at Tao and shook his head. Tao frowned but said nothing else. They would wait a while longer before they told Kris, Suho, and Xiumin what was going on. Luhan usually wasn't at breakfast so it wasn't unusual. If he wasn't back from...where-ever he was by lunch then they would tell.

--

Kai, Sehun, and Tao walked up to Kris and Suho when they got back from the school. For some reason...classes had been cancelled. The two looked at the three with curious eyes. Was something bothering them?

"Hyeongs. Has Luhan talked to you today?"

"Eh. No, is he not back yet?"

Kai shook his head.

"No i've been trying to get ahold of him all day. Its odd for him to be gone for so long-"

"He's probably at another friends home and forgot to call-"

"Hyeong we haven't seen him for two days. Normally he's back for lunch but he missed it two days in a row."

Suho looked at Kris. He was worried. "Alright we'll go and check around see if anyone as seen him. okay?"

"Thank you hyeongs." Kai stated with a small smile.

"Don't you three still have chores that need to be done?" Kris asked his -face in place. "You have the day off, use it to finish them and study for your classes tomorrow."

Tao, Kai, and Sehun sighed. They'd been caught, "Deh, hyeongs." with that they each walked to their rooms to get to work. As soon as the two were out of hearing distance Suho turned to Kris with a serious look on his face.

"Kris..."

"I know. But I don't know where to look for him." He frowned and sat on the couch. "We can try the ice cream shop down the street."

"Alright let's go."

Lay walked down the stairs as soon as they walked out of the door. He bit his lip before he grabbed his jacket and went out. He knew what to look for since Luhan had put on his favorite shirt. He ran towards the music store. Not there. He went to the park, the mall, the dukkbboki stand by the university. The dance studio. He ran around all day not being able to find him. He felt his pocket vibrate, he pulled out his phone and sighed in relief it was Luhan. He looked at the time and was shocked. It was almost 10 at night! How did he not notice that there was no more light?

Hey do you think that you could come and get me? :/

I didn’t realize the time and I don’t really want to walk home alone.

Lay sighed in relief. He didn’t know that he was holding a breathe as he texted him back.

Where are you?

I’m in the auditorium at the university

You’re at the university?

Yeah. So can you? I don’t really want to deal with the others.

Lay nodded, he could understand why he didn’t want to deal with them. To them he’s been gone for two days. For him he’s been gone hours. He was glad that he was trusting him this much.

Yeah, I’m on campus right now.

Why?

Looking for you.

BWOH!? Jeongmal!? Wae?

Hyeong to everyone else..you’ve been gone for two days...

Eh...that’s right. You’re the only one who knew I came home.

Lay laughed out loud. He couldn’t believe that it didn’t occur to him. He walked up to the auditorium doors. He looked in and saw Luhan laying on the stage a broom laying on the ground. Lay shook his head: ‘that babo. He’s going to get sick that way.’ He walked up the stairs. When he got to Luhan he furrowed his brows, Luhan’s breathe was incredibly shallow. He knelt down and felt his forehead. He was burning up.

“Hyeong...Hyeong... Wake up.” Lay gently shook him. “Luhan, answer me.”

Lay grew worried and felt the sting of tears in his eyes. Why wasn’t he answering? He pulled out his phone and dialed.

“Hello?”

“Xiumin-hyeong.”

“Lay? What’s wrong; why does it sound like you’re going to cry?”

“Hyeong, I found luhan-”

“Is he okay?!”

“-He’s not answering me...”

“Where are you?”

“Hyeong he’s one the ground...he’s burning up and he won’t answer me.”

“Lay. Where are you?”

“THe university auditorium...”

“Okay I’m on my way. Lay keep him warm.”

Lay nodded even though he knew he couldn’t see him. He hung up the phone and pulled Luhan into his lap. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around Luhan and hugged him close. He felt a few tears slip passed his eye-lashes and run down his face. He didn’t know if they were relieved tears or if they were sad tears. At that moment he just wanted to make sure that his hyeong was taken care of.

He sat there for sometime. It seemed like forever when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned and saw Xiumin's paling face.

“Hyeong...what to do...Hyeong won’t answer...”
