"B-but, my homeworks - "I tried to argue but was cut off.

"You have the Sunday to do all those!" Xiumin cut me off while stuffing another wave of food into his mouth—emphasizing his bun cheeks.

"But - " I got cut off again. I felt Tao's hand on my shoulder.

"It's no use trying to argue with him. He's pretty stubborn." He said, moving his head sideways

He.Flapping. Spoke. To. Me.

COULD THIS DAY GET ANY BETTER?

Of course, the answer to that is NO. A big NO.

I had to stay with those 3. It's not like I did not like being with them. It's the anxiety that was building inside of me that I hate. 

What if he comes here and sees me? Would he run away like last time? Nah.

My eyes kept wondering around, being alert. Hoping he would not come around here.

Argh! Why am I like this?!

I'll pretend that I don't know hi- NO! No. NO! No. Good.

Tao rummaged his pockets and took out his phone. "They're looking for us," the panda said as he looked up from his phone.

"Ignore them," Xiumin waved his hand dismissively, poking his chopsticks on the bento box.

We talked and talked about things... well more like they talked and I sat there, listening. In the middle of their conversation, my mind slipped off to somewhere else; thinking about homework, projects, and tests. It was just plainly FRUSTRATING. 

"There you are," that deep voice reeled me back into reality. I turned around and my eyes widened. Wider than D.O.'s eyes.

O.O

What should I do??????!!!! Eottokeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee??????!!!!

On that place, I was ready to dig my own grave. Let me die.

IT WAS HIM. He was wearing casual clothes. BUT HOW COULD HE STILL LOOK PERFECT. THAT PEFECT JAWLINE... AS PERFECT AS T.O.P.'S. That defined nose. Those gorgeous eyes. And… those lips.... STOP, HYE BIN.IISSSTAHP.

I mentally slapped myself multiple times; I would have gotten a bruise if it was real.

Before he could drift his eyes at me, I quickly ducked my face and covered it with my bangs. Crossing my fingers, I hope he didn’t notice me. My cousin raised his brows at me with a matching incredulous stare. With my best, I sent him the most chilling death glare despite the thick bangs in front of my face.

Fortunately, he shivered in dismay.

Booyah.

Now what do I do? *le sigh*

“Ge!” Tao sprung up from his seat.

“Hey.” Kris greeted and I saw him ruffling Tao’s hair from my peripheral vision.

Xiumin whose face is a full round bun tried smiling at him.

I felt a towering person sitting on my left and Tao on my right. I was sandwiched between them. Could this get more awkward and worse?

“Oh, uhm this is…” Tao started to say. It reminded me I haven’t really told him my name yet. Oh good lord, thank you!

Now, they wouldn’t know my name unless my cousin tells them. I have to make my escape now!! I stiffened and stood up from my seat, abruptly. For the second time, I attempted to escape from these EXO guys.

“Tao, hold her down.” Xiumin commanded, right after swallowing his food.

Xiumin, you bun! I’ll steam you alive if you weren’t so cute!

Tao obeyed and placed his hands on my shoulders. I can’t struggle against it. He’s my bias for goodness’ sake. I’m sure they wouldn’t want to know how alarmingly high my feels are right now. I sat back, having my face buried on my palms.

“Err… is there something wrong here? Xiumin, is she you’re girlfriend?” I heard a raspy voice say. I’m a 101 plus 10 percent sure that belongs to Kris.

“NO!!!” both Xiumin and I said in sync. Both of us blushing in different shades of pink and red. Fifty shades of grey pink

“She’s my cousin.” My cousin defended.

Oh for once, Thank you Dear cousin. I am so blessed to have you as my -

“And her name is…” I spoke too soon. He was about to reveal my name when I kicked him on his shin.

I take back my gratefulness, you blabber mouth!!!

Joon, my cousin, shrunk in pain and ducked his head under the table to check on his aching leg.

I almost stuck out my tongue in triumph.

The Panda, the Bun, and the -faced all turned their heads to me.

No, no, no. Don’t look at me!!

“Yah! What was that for?” Joon cried, his head popping up from the table.

This time, I stuck my tongue out.

Then suddenly, shrill, cute chuckles went off. My gaze landed on Xiumin who was holding his tummy.

Tao chortled along and soon, all of us are already laughing—including my cousin.

“You both look so close. That’s really cute~” Tao said, wiping a tear from his eye.

“Yeah…you are.” Kris said, a smile plastered on his face.

We were looking at each other eye-to-eye now. I quickly looked away, shifting my gaze to anything but him—hoping he does not remember me.

“Hmm… you look familiar.” Kris’s expression suddenly changed. His eyebrows creased in deep thought.

Oh shoot me now.

“Haha…er… “ I let out a small laugh, trying to break his concentration.

“I’m sure I did saw you somewhere…” Kris said, rubbing his chin with two of his fingers.

Damn. No.

“No---er… I mean, it must have been my look alike. Probably 50% of Korea’s total population looks like me.” I quickly said, nodding my head in encouragement.

“But they’re not as cute as you!” Xiumin beamed.

I smiled at him shyly as thanks. He held his thumb up in return.

“But, you really are familiar.” Kris said, still scanning his brain for any recognition of me.

He’s not letting this go, is he?                       

I looked around, searching for a reason to escape.

That’s when I noticed the thick and dark clouds outside.

BINGOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

“It looks like it’s going to rain.” I frowned, acting a bit.

All 4 heads turned to the window.

“I guess I have to go now before it pours.” I sighed heavily, an act again.

“Awww.” Xiumin’s lower lip jutted out.

CUTE!!!

“I guess you have to go now then.” Tao sighed too.

O.M.G. He sighed. Does this mean he’ll miss me?

“Oh, but we don’t know your name yet!” Xiumin chirped.

No.

“I…er…”

I have no freaking choice. My life is now gone.

“Hyebin.” I said hesitantly, almost inaudible.

“See you then, Hyebin-ssi! Bring us lunch again next time alright?” Xiumin waved cutely.

I nodded eagerly and my heels.

Just then, I heard a voice call behind.

“Wait, why don’t you meet the other members first? I’ll bring you home myself later on.” Kris chided.

No. Ultra NO.A ride? With Kris? The one who kissed me in my dreams?

“Yes! Why don’t you? You’d like that. Yeah?”Joon wriggled his eyebrows.

I shot him a glare.

I tried hard to plaster a smile on my face and reply calmly.

“I guess I need to pass.” I frowned.

“Awwwwwww. Please???” Xiumin did his BbuingBbuing.

Noooo. Hold it back. Don’t say yes.

 I smiled sheepishly at Xiumin, he frowned dejectedly.

Sorry Bun. I’m so sorrrryyy.

Xiumin then looked at Tao. Err. What’s he doing?

Tao sighed but nodded in obedience.

“BbuingBbuing!!!” Tao aegyos  in the cutest way

Unicorns.Rainbows. Cloud 9!!!!!! KYaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

“Erm…”

Shoot. Noooooooooooooooooooooo

I looked pleadingly at my cousin’s eyes but he rolled his eyes in response.

 “Look guys, there is no point in making her stay. Obviously, she doesn’t want to stay.”

That jerk! I will skin you alive and pour lemon squeezed juice all over you.

“Hey! I don’t mean that way.” I pouted. This is so embarrassing, I swear... pouting, yuck.

“I just really have a lot of school things to do.” I pouted deeper. There was I waving my dignity goodbye.

I met Tao’s and Xiumin eyes. Their sad expressions pinched my heart.

“Okay, I promise I’ll bring a very delicious lunch next time.” I said, raising my right hand at the level of my head.

“Yayyy!!!!” Xiumin cheered, throwing his hands up in the air.

I smiled at his childish act.

“I’ll see you next time then.” I bowed and strode my way out of the building.

Aish! What did I get myself into?! Hyebin!!! Why did you make a promise?

Just as I got to the exit, it started drizzling.

I cursed under my breath. But I was thankful I got out.

I waited for the green man to appear before crossing the road. With long quick pace, I got to the other side of the road where I could ride a bus way home.

I stood under the bus stop, a little damp from the water exposure.

As I was ruffling my hair to shake off the rain drops, I noticed a tall figure wearing a cap and a hooded jacket sprinting under the now medium rain over my direction. On his right hand, he was holding an umbrella a little small for him.

My shuffling froze. My eyes were again as huge as D.O.’s

He stopped right in front of me, panting.

“Uhm, I thought this might be useful.”

Kris handed me the umbrella, the corners of his lips pulled up to a friendly smile.

 I swear I couldn’t move. I can’t bring my hand to get the umbrella. I was too dumbfounded. I felt like I was stoning.

Kris chuckled and grabbed my hand. He delicately pressed the Umbrella against my palm and ducked out of the bus stop.

“See you next time, Hyebin.” He muttered before dashing to get back to the building. The rain’s now pouring hard.

My heart drummed wildly against my rib cage. My feels. I just can’t contain them.

Did Kris Wu just… give me his umbrella? Or is it even his umbrella? I shook off the negative thought.

I let out a shrill and long squeal jumping up and down on my feet. I almost slipped in doing so. Good thing I retained my balance. Thank goodness there weren’t any other people under the bus stop. They would have freaked out if they’ve seen me.
