____ POV

I was really embarrassed when I discovered that my voice was loud while singing their song 3.6.5; I was hiding my face shyly while laughing and they were all singing it now; when I raised my face I saw Lay looking at me with a smile on his lips, but disappeared when he saw me looking at him and quickly looked outside the window … I brushed off the thought and continued to sing some songs and now they started to fall  asleep one by one now; I was still listening to EXO songs; I started to shift uncomfortably; I wanted to use the restroom

"Ahhh! This is not the right time! How embarrassing!" I thought looking at my watch

"Still a whole 1 hour!!! I can't wait! AAh! It's my entire fault; I shouldn't have drunk a lot of juice and water!! What should I do now?" I looked around the car and all the guys were sleeping except .. Lay!

"Ah! How will I reach Manager Oppa now” I thought looking at Sehun who was leaning on Lay’s shoulder sleeping peacefully while Lay still looking outside; I leaned closer to Sehun poking him

" Yah! .. Sehun-ah! “ I said whispering; Lay suddenly turned around and looked at me

"Why are you waking him up?" he said removing one of the headphones plugged in his ear as he raised eyebrow; I was startled when he talked to me

" Neh? N-nothing!" I said playing with the iPod again; after awhile I saw Lay leaning his head as he closed his eyes while his headphones are back in his ear; I leaned again and poked Sehun

"Yah!! Oh Sehun! Wake up, I want to use the rest room!!“ I said patting his arm carefully and impatiently; Lay Opened his eyes again and looked at me with a straight face

"and why not just telling me?" he said and I looked at him while blinking

"Tell you what?" I said looking at him surprised

‘My voice was so low and he was listening to music how did he hear what I said!’ I thought embarrassed; I was awkward

" Hyung, can you stop the car we need to use the rest room!"

"Ok, just 5 minutes till the nearest station!" manager said and I looked at Lay and then shifted my look outside the window

Lay POV

I looked at her she was uncomfortable; I thought she's tired of sitting but I saw her waking Sehun up and I soon discovered that she needed to use the restroom; I waited her to tell me what she needed but ended up waking the poor maknae again; I told hyung to stop and she looked really embarrassed

‘What's wrong with her? What's there to be embarrassed of?’ I thought as hyung stopped the car

"Here we are” hyung said and she looked at me

"Go …" I said to her looking outside again

"I - don’t know how to go alone" she said with a low voice looking at the sleeping guys and then to me; I looked at her again to be honest I felt happy at least she asked for my accompany; I know she doesn’t have any other choice but still I felt happy, although I didn't show it; I opened the car door

 "Come" I said taking her hand helping her to exit the van; I took her to where the ladies washroom where

What I didn't notice that I was holding her soft hand the whole time; I let go of her hand awkwardly and told her to go ahead

“Don’t – go anywhere” She said and my heart skipped a beat as our eyes met; I nodded slowly assuring her that I’ll not go anywhere; she then ran inside and I clenched where my heart was beating so fast; I waited for her outside; she came out; and approach me hurriedly; I was leaning on the wall one leg up and hands in my pocket looking at her approaching me

“So beautiful …” I thought looking at her

"Why taking so long?" I said coolly

“boya~~!!”  She said with a frown and a cute pout and slapped my arm lightly; walking a head of me in the wrong direction

"Araso~ Araso~ come here where are you going? " I said smiling at her curtness while walking faster to catch up with her

"What?" she turned suddenly pumping her face flat in my chest; She looked up slowly and met my eyes; we looked at each other’s eyes for a fine seconds that felt like years; as our body was heating up; she quickly looked away

"L-Let's - get back quickly" she said stuttering and again walking in the wrong direction when I decided to just continue walking behind her; I was looking at her back; She was looking right and left looking for the exits; she was so cute like a lost child; I was smiling at her and waited patiently for her reaction

 She suddenly turned around and looked at me with a confused doe eyes; I was laughing hard in my mind; I was acting that we're heading at the right direction;

"Where are we? This is not the place we entered from? “ She said

"Really? I don't know? --- I think we're lost!" I said and her eyes went wider

"WHAT!" She panicked and I seriously wanted to laugh hard but I held it back taking my phone pretending to call hyung

"Hyung I think we're lost?" I said and she came and stood beside me; looking around the unfamiliar place; she looked like she was afraid to lose me; I was walking while talking to him so she will come closer to me; she kept walking close to me while holding the very very end of my shirt at the back; I smiled holding her hand and brought her next to me

"Yeah! Yeah, Ah araso" I said and ended the call; She looked at me with those puppy eyes

 "What did he say?" She said and I let go of her hand slowly and walked before her

"He'll come take us" I said as I headed to the mini store

"Where are you going!" she said running after me

What she doesn’t know that I was planning on getting lost on purpose so I can stay with her longer; while she was on the bathroom I told hyung that we will head to get some soft drinks and junk food so he can take some rest from driving

"Let's buy something to eat on our way with the guys" I said heading to the store and took a basket

She came and entered the market before me heading straight to where the chocolates where; I was walking behind her with the basket observing her moves; she looked like a happy kid buying huge amount of junk food and putting it in the basket excitedly; I was walking close to her so she can put what she want easily; Suddenly she stopped ….

___ POV

I was excitedly buying all kinds of chocolates and candies while Lay walking close to me with the basket; I suddenly stopped when I heard whining; I turned and looked at where the voice was coming from;

 I saw this little girl with her parents; she was whining about what she wanted to buy but her parents refused to buy a lot so she wouldn't harm her teeth

 Flashbacks came running to my mind of my own parents as I was watching them;

*Flashback*

I was running excitedly to where the candies where located; grabbing tons of them and putting it in the basket; I looked at Mum when I heard her giggle while looking at Dad; I looked up at her and she cleared quickly; I looked back at Dad blinking and noticed the empty basket and gasped

“APPA!!” I whined when I noticed that he was putting back everything I put in the basket earlier

*End of Flashback*

It was funny though; I was smiling at the sight when I felt someone cupping my face; I looked up and that someone was no one other than Lay …

"Why - are you crying?" he said softly with a warm gaze and worried expression; I looked at him with teary eyes and looked at the basket that was full of chocolate and candies …

Lay POV

She suddenly stopped and turned around looking at something behind me; I looked carefully at her expression and saw sadness?

I looked at where she was looking; her eyes were filled with tears while smiling softly; There was this girl whining and fighting cutely with her father about the candies she wanted

"What's wrong with her?" I thought putting the basket down and approached her; I cupped her face and made her look at me

"Why -- are you crying?" I said worried and she looked at me and then shifted her eyes to the basket that what full of chocolates and candies; panting heavily; I knew she was going to burst out crying anytime now; I know when she’s about to explode she will be breathing heavily   

"Why -- didn't you take all the chocolates and candies back while I was putting it in?!!"  She said with slight angriness in her voice while trying to control and not to cry; looking at me with teary eyes

"Neh?" I said confused looking at her when she suddenly let out her tears with loud sobs bringing her head down and sobbed again while looking at me

"I don't have enough money!! Why didn't you take it all back!!!!" She said crying harder while taking the chocolates furiously from the basket and putting it back again into its place; she was sobbing hard and everyone was looking at her; I held her wrist firmly stopping her from taking the stuff back

She looked at me with those red eyes that was full of sad tears; I felt my heart broke into pieces;  I hated seeing her in pain like this; She then looked down again still crying; I brought her head slowly to my chest letting her cry her heart out; I hugged her tight not wanting to let go of her; I don’t know what’s wrong with her, I don’t know what made her like this; I just wanted to comfort her right now

After a while I took her out of the store and sat her down on a chair outside and gave her a bottle of water after I opened it to her; she was starting to calm down; tears stopped falling

"You – feeling better now?" I said carefully and she looked up to me with a sad smile

"I'm -- sorry sir, it's Just that — I"

"It's ok! Don't be sorry!" I said coldly standing up

 ‘Huh? Sir!!’ I thought still pissed at how she’s still treating me as a stranger or her work boss; I looked at her feeling guilty that I talked to her like that when I saw her hanging her head down again

"Stay here, don't move I'll be right back!" I said and she nodded slowly

I headed to the market again, I went straight to where we left the basket; I brought the things she returned again and put it on the basket; I went to the cashier while she was counting I was lost in my own thoughts

"Is it really because she doesn't have money? But why she was looking at that family while crying?  Did something happen to her parents? Maybe she just missed them? What's really strange that she never talked about her parents! It's been like months with us now! But she never even once … talked about them! Except that night when -??! She was? Maybe her parents are dead! or-"

"Sir $30" the lady said;  I paid quickly and went straight to where ___ was sitting spacing out

"Let's head back" I said taking holding her tiny wrist; she looked at me

"You know how to go back?" she said slowly with her shaky voice from the after effect of crying

‘Oh! I forgot we're lost!’ I thought panicked then quickly said with a cool tone

"I called hyung and he told me the right direction" she nodded looking at our locked hand; I glanced at her but I saw a smile forming softly on her lips?!

We arrived and saw manager hyung talking in the phone and walking around the van; the guys were still sleeping; I opened the van door and saw Sehun sleeping on ___ place so I pushed him a bit to sleep next the window; I helped ___ to get in then I got in and closed the door behind me; so now she was sitting between me and sehun; she was beside me …

"Done? You took a lot of time" manager hyung said getting in and start driving again

"Mainhae ~~" I said shortly

"1 hour till our destination" He said and ___ rested her head backwards; I glanced at her and took the candies bag and handed it to her

"What's -- that?" she said looking inside the bag; she looked at me again smiling softly

"You bought it all?" she said and I smiled back softly to her

"When you need anything, OPPA will buy it ALL for you okay?" I said Emphasizing on Oppa and her smile faded away slowly

"T-Thank you .." she said and turned her head from me looking down; I felt hurt; She closed her eyes and rested her head back again; I looked at her fair face

 "You didn't forgive me yet right?" I thought while looking at her; I sighed and looked out of the window

___ POV

I looked inside the bag and I saw all the Chocolates and Candies I bought earlier; I looked at him smiling

 "You bought it all?" He smiled softly to me

"If you need anything, OPPA will buy it all for you okay?” He said Emphasizing on Oppa; my smile disappeared and I thanked him looking away

*Flash back*

" Oppa? Who are calling oppa? Huh?"

*End of flash back*

I remembered his harsh words that hurt my heart till now; I rested my head back again and closed my eyes; I could still feel his eyes on me; He sighed and I slowly opened my eyes glancing at him; I saw him looking outside the window

"Thank you Oppa … thank you for comforting me” I thought and closed my eyes again and soon I was sleeping peacefully  

Lay POV

I was looking outside the window because I couldn't sleep; I was still thinking about what happened earlier in the market; when she called me sir; when I said Oppa and her expressions; everything was confusing me now

 I felt something brushing on my shoulder; I looked at my side and saw ____ head lying on my shoulder sleeping; I lowered myself a little bit so my shoulder would be by her head level so she can sleep comfortably; and I looked at her innocent sleeping face; I heard her soft sobs; she really cried hard; I wonder what's going on; I wish I can ease your pain ….

Manager POV

I looked at the mirror that reflected the back; I saw Lay staring at ___ while she was sleeping on his shoulder and I heard ___'s soft sobs?

"Did something happen between them again?” I thought looking at the road then at the mirror again; I saw those stares of Lay that were full of love and care ..

“I know Lay … I know you love her ..” I thought

"You have to tell her Lay; you have to tell her soon how you feel; time is running; she might leave any time soon now …." I thought saddening at the thought of her leaving them; I looked at the guys who were sleeping

"You guys really got used to her and she got used to you; she might leave soon; I'm afraid that would affect you; I know you love her so much; specially you … Lay" I thought shifting my eyes to Lay; I saw his head laying on her head while sleeping; I loved their sight so much; I smiled at how they really suit each other's

 ‘Those kids … I'm afraid that they'll just end up hurting’
