[CONTENTID2]Operation Panda[/CONTENTID2]

[CONTENTID3]

Exactly one week had passed since Tao had been checked out of the hospital. He still didn't go back to doing schedules or anything with the rest of EXO-M, since his manager made him stay at home for a week to rest some more in case anything happened. And now that it's been a week, Tao finally managed to convince their manager that he was alright.

And of course, he didn't forget Luhan’s promise – ice cream.

Ding dong!

Kris opened the door for and they walked into the empty living room.

"Hey oppa, where are the others?" Mei Li asked.

Their living room was oddly tidy, unlike its usual self, but the other EXO-M members were nowhere to be seen.

"Don't worry, Luhan and Tao are in their rooms getting ready," Kris answered nonchalantly.

"What about the other oppas?" Anne asked.

Mei Li had brought Anne along since she had told her that she could come before. Plus, Luhan and Mei Li decided that today would be the day that they’d get Tao and Anne together. By now, everyone knew that they like each other – except the two involved. 

"Chen and Lay are hanging out at SM. Ent while Xiumin's out eating with a sunbae who offered to treat him," Kris explained.

"oOoOoOo, a sunbae, huh?" Mei Li cooed, wiggling her eyebrows.

"Xiumin oppa has a girlfriend?" Anne gasped.

"Haha, no Anne, but I'm sure any girl who offers to buy him food will eventually have him chasing after them," Mei Li joked.

"Then oppa," Anne turned to Kris, "are you just going to stay here by yourself?"

"Uhm, no, a friend's coming over," he replied.

Mei Li eyed him suspiciously. "Who?"

"Noona, hyung's calling for you," Tao said, coming out of his room with his jacket.

"What? Why? He can't zip up his jacket or something?" Mei Li chuckled. 

Tao just shrugged. "I don't know, but the door's open so just go in."

Mei Li nodded and walked into Luhan's room. Oddly, there was no one inside. But suddenly, she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist. "Boo!"

Mei Li gasped loudly and whipped around, only to be greeted by Luhan's amused smile and cheerful eyes. "Morning, baby," he cooed and gave her a peck on her cheek. 

She frowned and sighed in relief. "Did you really have to do that?"

He pouted. "Well fine then, no more kisses for you."

"I was talking about scaring me!" 

"So kisses are okay then?" He grinned cheekily.

She rolled her eyes and stepped out of his embrace to sit on his bed. She felt special whenever she did that since he wouldn't let anyone else on it. "Why did you call me in here?"

"Remember, we're going to start Operation Panda today!" he replied, smiling.

"Operation Panda?" she raised an eyebrow at him.

"You know, Panda? As in P-A-N-N-E-D-A? Get it?" he explained cutely.

She laughed at his pun. "Oh gosh, I'm not even going to ask how you came up with that. But yes, I know. I'm not that forgetful, geez."

He gave her a look that said 'yeah right.’

She rolled her eyes and tugged on his hand. "Let's go already."

He grabbed his jacket before she pulled him out of his room.

"Finally, let's go already!" Tao exclaimed.

"Did you bring keys?" Luhan asked him.

"No, but Kris hyung will still be here by the time we get back anyways," Tao replied.

Mei Li turned to Kris. "Oh yea!" I grinned, "So who's coming over again?"

"Jessica noona," Luhan replied. "They're having a date here. That's why he kicked us all out today."

Anne cooed, "Awww!"

"Hyung even gave money to a noona sunbae and told her to go out to eat with Xiumin hyung," Tao added, smirking.

"What?" Mei Li burst out laughing, "Hahahah! Aw! I feel bad for Xiumin oppa now."

"Hey, he gets food so he'll be fine," Kris shrugged.

"Anyways, let's go before it's noon," Luhan stated, "we don't want to be mobbed."

It was Sunday morning, so there wouldn't be that many people around before noon since they were either at church or sleeping.

"Bye oppa, don't do anything naughty to Sica unnie!" Mei Li yelled before lea
