“Kris.” Luhan spoke quietly.

Kris looked at the two of us expectantly and when neither of us answered his question, his eyes landed on me. “It’s you again.”

I felt Luhan’s eyes watching us in confusion. I never told him about mine and Kris’s confrontation before. Sure, it was obvious that we were never in good terms, all the members knew, but only Jongin knew the real extent of the situation.

I watched as Kris ran a hand through his hair in frustration. When he looked at me again, I instinctively buried myself closer to Luhan’s side.

“What did you do this time?” He asked me in what seemed to be the calmest tone he ever spoke to me in. His serenity didn’t console me though, instead, it made me fear him even more. Last time he started off somewhat calm too but in the end, I was huddled up on the floor, mute from fright.

“We were walking around the building and-”

Kris glared at Luhan. “I wasn’t asking you hyung.” He turned to me again. “I asked you, ‘what did you do this time?’”

I flinched at his angrier voice and looked down, avoiding eye contact. “I-I’m sorry Kris. I’m sorry.”

“Why are you blaming yourself?” I heard Luhan say, I didn’t do anything but stare at the floor guiltily.

A pair of hands grabbed either side of my face, trying to get me to look up but I instinctively back away from the touch. Another wave of guilt rushed through me when I realized who I had just run away from. I looked up to find Luhan staring at me with a mixture of concern and hurt tinted in his eyes.

“I-I’m sorry.” I stumbled to my feet and quickly bowed to Kris. “I-I’m really sorry Kris. I’ll be leaving now.”

I turned to go out the door but a hand grabbed my wrist. I tried to pull away but the grip was too strong. Slowly, I turned to face Luhan who was holding me back. He pulled me back so quickly, I tripped and fell into his lap. His arms wrapped around me tightly despite my struggling.

“Let me go! Yah! I said let me go!” I protested, trying to get out of his grasp.

“No. I won’t.” He leaned his head onto my shoulder. “I’ll never let you go.”

I almost fell back into his arms and started crying but I held it in and tried leaving again.

“I can’t be here.” I told him.

“And why not?”

I froze. What am I supposed to tell him? I can’t tell him the truth. I can’t tell him that Kris told me to stay away from him, that would just ruin their friendship. I can’t have them fight with each other no matter how much it hurts me.

“I...what if someone sees us together again?” I asked him.

“Again?!” I jumped hearing Kris’s outburst. Why oh why did I let that slip?

“Listen to me!” Luhan shouted, making me shake from his sudden outburst.

“I’m sorry.” He whispered to me quietly, soothing me before starting again. “I don’t know what is going on between the two of you but if you really must know...”

“Kris, Yoonae and I were walking around outside, talking and stuff and then two fans saw us. We ran away before they had a chance to take any pictures and stuff. Everything will be fine.”

“And how are you so sure everything will be fine?” Kris asked, looking pointedly at me. “For all you know, your whole career could go downhill because of this girl.”

I shrunk away at his words. He didn’t even bother hiding the fact that he hated me.

“Yah! Wu Yi Fan!” Luhan countered before going off in a long line of Chinese that I couldn’t understand. All I could pick out were the words “girlfriend”, “love” and “brother.” I mentally scolded myself for not paying attention in my Chinese class as much as I should have.

The two continued arguing in the foreign language without any sign of stopping. It was scary. I had never seen Luhan so angry before, he was always so gentle with me, it almost seemed as if this side of him never existed...until now.

“Luhan...” I called to him quietly. He couldn’t hear me.

“Luhan.” I tried a bit louder. Finally the two stopped and looked over at me. “Please stop arguing. I don’t want you two to be mad at each other.”

“But Yoonae...” I shook my head.

“Kris is right. We should have been more careful.” I told him. I looked up at him and smiled. “You should get going now though, don’t you have a flight to catch in a few hours?”

He frowned but let me get off of him before standing up with me.

“Why don’t you head back first Luhan? I need to talk to Kris about something.” I tried to look at him convincingly as if there was nothing wrong but he obviously didn’t buy it.

“Are you sure?” He asked. I nodded and signalled him away. He took a look between the two of us before walking out the door.

The room turned silent when Luhan left and I refused to look up at Kris. Wasn’t he supposed to blow up by now? Maybe he was finding the right words to say...

“K-Kris....I just wanted to say sorry.”

He scoffed. “As if I didn’t hear that enough already.”

I lowered my gaze even more so that I was practically staring at my own shoes. “And I just wanted to ask you to please watch over Luhan while he’s in China. I know I don’t have a right to ask you but...I still respect you as Luhan’s leader so...please take care of him.”

He cleared his throat before speaking. “I told you this once, and I’m telling you this again now. I don’t like you and I don’t want you near my bandmates...but I promise you I will take care of him while we’re gone. I’m not going to let him crash like how you did last time. So you don’t need to worry about that.”

I nodded in guilt as he mentioned the past incident but something about his tone of voice made me relax just slightly. Maybe he finally realized that we were both on the same team...we just wanted the best for Luhan.

“Hey, it’s late already. If you don’t follow me now, you better not blame me for getting lost in the building.” I looked up at Kris who was already at the door. He looked at me with the same cold gaze as before. Without another word I lowered my head again and followed after him.

I couldn’t help but grin as he led me back to the waiting room.

At least he didn’t say he hates me...

A/N: Ayooo wassup everyone~

So this chapter just kinda showed...a bit more about Kris. You see Kris is just protective over Luhan. He's not a complete jerk and this is kind of his story I guess....Who am I kidding, I loved making Kris the jerk xD but I bet in reality he's a nice guy =]

Anyways, so I just finished crying like....quite a bit because of EXO's awards and stuffs at the Beijing Rookie Billboard Awards Ceremony or whatever. I was watching the videos and when the VCR came on I was bawling along with Lay and Kris. I was like WOAH Kris is crying because you know...he usually doesn't show the emotional side of him. So yeah.

I'm so proud of the boys <3 Not just EXO-M but EXO-K as well. Many more awards to come. As fans, let's support them and help this be their year alright?

-Ryeowook, Sungmin, Chen, Luhan, Kai, Taemin and Sehun's Wifey <3
