The boys had all gathered in the dorm, including Aaron. Luhan paced around his room as Chen watched his roommate from his bed. Lay was lying on his bed waiting for Kris to come back. He had heard the news from a shrieking Chanyeol and upon hearing the words, 'Kris kissed her! How could he?!', D.O, who was looking after him had run out of the door to find out what was going on. Lay was eager to know as well but he was confined to his bed and wasn't allowed to get up. 

Kai was taking a much deserved shower, trying to get away from the frantic commotion that was rising in the dorm. Aaron sat on the edge of the sofa, not quite knowing what to do with himself. He kept trying to convince his mind that you didn't actually live with these 12 good looking boys and this was just where Kris lived and he would bring you back so the two of you would explain yourselves. 

 

At the door, you paused outside. Kris put an ear to the door and listened.

'Aish'

'Not good?' you said

'Definitely not good'

You both took a deep breath in and unlocked the door. Tao pounced on Kris first and Sehun ushered you both inside as if someone was following you. He took your bag and hung up your jacket and began to follow you as you made your way to your room. 

'Sehun... Are you going to follow me to my room too and watch me undress?' you said sarcastically.

Kris grabbed him by the collar and yanked him back. 

'We'll explain once Haneul comes back out, okay?'

Everyone nodded. Aaron looked around at everyone else. 

Why are they acting like it's a normal thing?...

He didn't like the sound of things. As you walked past him, you patted him on the head and waved. 

'Hey! I didn't know you'd be staying with us!'

'I... erm, I... Wait, us?'

You had already walked into your room and slammed the door shut. Aaron turned to everyone else in the room. D.O literally ran to the kitchen. Kris walked into his own room. Baekhyun picked up a newspaper to read and Chanyeol turned his head away to look out of the window and into space.

'D-Does H-Hana live here?...'

Everyone ignored him.

'Hey! Answer me!'

'Why should we?' said Chanyeol rather harshly, yawning as well

'Because I'm her boyfriend!'

'No you're not.' said Luhan bluntly

'Hyung... Don't get angry. Please.' Sehun whispered.

D.O stuck his head out of the kitchen, breaking the tension.

'Tea or juice anyone?!'

'Me! You know what I like, oppa!' you screamed from your room.

D.O chuckled and retreated back into the kitchen.

One Cranberry and Apple juice, coming right up.

Aaron felt a little ill too now.

She called him oppa too... And how does he know what she likes? Did they go out? Are they going out?... Or is she going out with the god-like giant standing over there by the curtains?

 

Kris caught Aaron looking at him and coughed. They both quickly diverted their eyes- Kris to your door and Aaron to the ceiling. He really didn't know where to place his gaze. 

Come on Hana, come out now.

On cue, you stepped out of your room clothed in your pajamas only this time, they didn't consist of D.O's jogging bottoms and Kai's hoodie. Everyone waited to see what you'd say first. Kris shifted around uneasily. Everyone was quiet. 

'... Where's Lay?' you said

'Oh God, Lay!' Suho shrieked, rushing to the room. 

A few minutes later, Lay walked out with a flannel still stuck on his forehead. 

'Glad someone remembered me' 

You smiled. 'Are you feeling better?'

'Much better but...' Lay lowered his voice and bent down to your level.

Aaron frowned slightly as you leaned towards Lay to hear what he wanted to say. 

'Are you going to explain what happened between you and hyung?'

You nodded. 'Yeah'

Kris sighed and patted Lay's hair. 

'We didn't actually kiss'

Kris could feel how relieved Lay and the others were. Xiumin just smirked having known all along the truth. Aaron felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulders. 

'Kris-oppa just pretended to kiss me so we could fool his mom'

'So you didn't actually kiss?' said Kai

'Nope'

'And she believed you?' said Aaron

'Well you believed us, didn't you?' said Kris tartly

You flinched a little.

Why do I feel like the guys aren't taking a liking to Aaron?...

'All that matters is that hyung isn't leaving and being taken away' said D.O, passing you your juice.

Baekhyun nodded. 'Exactly. We should be happy hyung is staying!'

'And be happy that the open day is finally over. I'm shattered.' said Chanyeol, stretching out on the sofa.

You looked over and saw Kai in the corner of the room by his desk. He had his head propped up by his arm but his eyes were shut. You sighed a little. 

'Anyway, end of discussion. It was a fake kiss to fool you all and it's late so I propose we go out for dinner tonight. It's 10 already and D.O-oppa won't have enough time to make something so-'

'I can make something, don't worry!'

'No no, it's fine. We can go to our restaurant! Manager-hyung will probably give us some meat for free' said Xiumin

'Yes!' Chanyeol shouted, jumping up and running to get his coat. 

Everyone else got up and made their way to the door, putting on their shoes and jackets. Aaron tugged on your arm to catch your attention.

'Aaron-'

'I have a few things to say to you-'

'Okay but not now, tell me once we get to the restuarant, yeah?'

'But-'

'Please? Please just wait until we get to the restaurant... Then you can tell me everything you need to'

You removed yourself from his grip and he began to make his way to the door. You picked up Kai's hoodie and went over to his desk to wake him up. In the excitement of food, everyone had forgotten about him.

'Oppa, wake up. We're going out now to get some food.'

You shook him lightly. 

'Kai? Come on... Wake up, ne? You have to eat'

Kai stirred a little but didn't get up. Aaron was at the door, about to exit and follow everyone else when he turned around to check where you were.

'Hana?'

You were too far away to hear him but he could see you clearly. 

'Kai, please get up. If you don't eat, you'll have no energy tomorrow. Please, come on.'

Kai mumbled and you shook him again.

'Get up and come and eat. I know you're tired but you need to be healthy and eat something!'

You took a deep breath and hugged him from the back whispering into his ear, sending shivers down his spine and immediately regaining his senses, 'Oppa, please?'

Aaron couldn't bear to look anymore. He had seen enough. He turned away to leave and ran out of the door.

mannnnnnnnn, I bet you guys feel sorry for Aaron. I mean, the girl he loves is hanging out with all these good looking guys AND she's incredibly close to them. I don't know what I'd do if I was in his position... Unrequited love, eh? It , doesn't it?
