'Was it a good talk?' Kai asked you at the dinner table.

Lay nodded, too exhausted to say anything else. The three of you- Suho, Lay and yourself, had only just got back as you had jumped at the chance to actually talk to the speaker. Because of your keeness, it was now 8pm and everyone was finishing their dinner. D.O ushered you to the table as soon as you arrived and began to quickly dish out your dinner.

'D.O, it's okay. We can do it' said Suho

Lay tried to take the spoon away from D.O who then raised the ladle as if he was going to hit him. Needless to say, Lay quickly retracted his hand and no one else objected to D.O dish out the food. Whilst you were digging into your rice, there was a knock at the door. 

'Who is it?!' Tao yelled from the sofa, too lazy to get up and open the door. 

Sehun ran out of the kitchen to open it. 'It's your friends!'

'Whose friends?!' you shouted

'I don't know! Baekhyun, maybe?!'

Ýou heard quiet mumbling for a while and then a loud shout and click as the door shut. 

'They're Kai's friends from the freshmen council or whatever' said Sehun

You caught the eye of one of them and recognising them, you bowed your head as best as you could seeing as you were at the dinner table and greeted them. 'Annyeonghaseyo, nice to see you again'

'Ah annyeonghaseyo Haneul-ssi! How are you?'

You smiled, 'Tired...'

'I'm sorry to hear that, Haneul-ssi... Hope you feel better soon'

You nodded and carried on eating. Lay, who was sitting next to you and beginning to feel jealous, reached over and put an extra piece of meat in your bowl.

'Lay? Don't you want it?'

'Don't worry about me. You need it more than I do, okay?'

Kai left with the guests within 5 minutes. 

'He was eager to get out of here, wasn't he?' Chanyeol muttered

'He's the same as us. We don't like having people over unless they're really good friends of ours' said Suho, placing the plates in the kitchen.

'Like Jenny and Minwoo?' said Sehun

'Yeah, like them two.' Kris replied.

Everyone was sitting around in the living room whilst Chanyeol flicked through the tv channels aimlessly. 

'I'm bored. Does anyone want to go out?' said Luhan

Your ears perked up. 'Where to?'

'How about a game of football?'

'Football?' said Xiumin

Luhan smirked. 'Who's up for it?'

An hour later and you were outside lying on the courts. You were all puffing and panting, completely out of breath. Beside you, Baekhyun lay with his shirt off, trying to cool himself down. Luhan and Xiumin were the only 2 still standing and taking penalties at the goal. Chanyeol and Lay were busy pouring water over each others hair and D.O looked like he was asleep. You stared at the stars. Kris leant over and checked the time on his phone. 

'It's 11.11... Time to make a wish...'

He didn't say it to anyone in particular but you saw him shut his eyes and his lips began to move. You looked away, knowing that if you knew his wish, it wouldn't come true. 

I wish... For us to always be together and to go through this year with no problems. For Haneul to be safe, for Kai to be healthy, for us to prosper, for Suho to feel comfortable with his abilities, for Lay to be himself... For all our problems to disappear.

You also shut your eyes, focusing on the darkness.

I guess I'll make a wish too then... I wish... I wish... I wish my parents would look down at me from Heaven and see that I'm safe with the boys and I wish they'd see me and be proud of me. I wish Joon-oppa could come and visit me and drive me to that ice-cream parlour and tell me to order the biggest thing I can just so that he could laugh at me in my face... I wish I could just see my family again... Wait-

You sat up.

Baekhyun quickly placed his shirt over his chest to cover himself. 'Haneul? Are you okay?'

'Hyun-ki...' you whispered

'Hyun-ki? Isn't he your cousin?' 

You quickly got to your feet and grabbed your hoodie. 

'Where are you going?' said D.O opening his eyes

'I'll be back either late tonight or tomorrow morning. Don't wait up for me'

'Wait! You don't have a bus card or money or anything!' 

'I have my phone. If you need me, call me! I'll get a taxi back!'

'Haneul-ah, it's late. Where are you going?' said Kris, looking rather worried.

'Hyun-ki. I have to see Hyun-ki.'

'Why do you need to go all of a sudden? Especially when it's past 11pm already?'

'It's dark too. Something bad might happen to you.' said Tao

You shrugged it off. 'I'll be fine, okay? If a guy comes, I'll kick him where it hurts. I'm old enough to fend for myself, alright? I'll be fine. Don't worry so much'

You threw on your hoodie and ran out of the court before anyone else could stop you. 

Hyun-ki... That pabo. The last time I heard from him was him telling me to come back to Korea because I wasn't safe in London anymore. It's lucky he told me where he's living too and it's not too far from here. 

As you ran out of the gates, you took a moment to look back at the stars. 

'I'm going to get some answers from Hyun-ki now. I should forgive him, shouldn't I? It wasn't him anyway. It was my uncle... You know... Maybe I should talk to you more often. Eomma, Appa, Joon-oppa... Saranghaeyo '
