"Jongin? I told you to go here alone. Why did you bring him here?"

     "Oh. Have I ruined your plan? Heh! Before I answer that, explain to us first why we're all here. You & your Luhan-hyung set all of us up, right?" Jongin asked and the youngest could feel pairs of eyes staring at him. He wanted to speak but there's something that was stopping him.

     "Uhh... I'm sorry, guys. It's true that the two of us set you up. Not in a bad way but the opposite. We did this because Sehun wanted to. He told me about the happenings and he badly wanted to clear it. Sehun said that he's not comfortable with you guys being not in good terms. I thought that there's nothing wrong helping him although I didn't know you that much yet & vice versa. So, here we are now, gathered together by our setup to clear the mess & misunderstandings. Once again, sorry for any inconvenience," Luhan explained politely.

     "I see. It's okay with me. But who's the guy behind you, Jongin?" Chanyeol asked while pointing at Jongdae.

     "Oh. I'm sorry. I'm Kim Jongdae. Jongin just asked me to go with him but he didn't tell me that he would be going to an appointment like this," he politely spoke to them. "I think, I better go." He took a bow and a step backwards.

     "No, hyung. I bought you here for a purpose," Kai quickly held the arm at the one whom he addressed his words to. Jongdae just then stopped on his place.

     "Kai? What do you mean?" Sehun asked.

     "So, as you can see, we're gathered here today for some kind of open forum. I figured out Sehun & Luhan's plan yesterday so I decided to bring him here. Since we'll be clarifying things among each other, I also want Jongdae-hyung to clarify things with someone among us," Jongin revealed and Sehun's eyes widened. One reason was because Jongin figured out their plan and the other was because he knew that "someone" Kai was referring.

     "And who would that someone be?" Chanyeol asked with a curious face.

     "Jongin... This isn't the time for the two of us to clear our issue," Joonmyeon spoke, giving the others the clue that he's that "someone".

     "If not now, then when? I'm sorry, hyung, but I just want the best for you two," Jongin said which amazed the others.

     "I know. But this forum was supposed to be for only us six."

     "I also know that one but another sorry for your brother took the opportunity. Admit it or not, you're affected. I can feel it. Hate me for this but I'm just doing this because I love you and I care for you as your brother," Jongin said with full of emotions. For a mischievous boy like him, it's really unexpected to hear those words coming out from his mouth. With that, Suho sighed in defeat.

     That one seemed okay with them but the atmosphere became somewhat heavy. Silence dropped by for a few moments and they could feel it bring the awkwardness among them. As planned and agreed, Luhan did his job as Sehun's guide by nudging the said brunette, whispering to him to speak & break the silence.

     "O-okay. Maybe we c-could talk about that later. For now, let's talk about the issue about the bestfriends," Sehun stuttered in front of them.

     "Well, won't either of you speak?" the y-bronze-skinned asked Baekhyun and Chanyeol after getting an overdose of their silence. The two could be seen just exchanging looks. One word that best described them and their eyes was "hesitant".

     "What!? Let that giant speak first," Baekhyun remarked like an irritated diva. Eyes were then transferred to Chanyeol and the latter felt uncomfortable.

     "W-what? I-I d-don't know what to say," the giant stuttered badly as he said the truth.

     "'Cause your guilty..." Baekhyun muttered in a low volume but his bestfriend managed to hear it.

     "No, I'm not, Baek. I did nothing wrong with Joonmyeon-hyung. You just misunderstood it," Chanyeol responded. The eyeliner boy wasn't so shocked of it.

     "Tsk. You heard it? Wow. That's what your big ears are for, huh?"

      "The big ears you always love to have fun with by pretending that you'll whisper something to me but end up biting it?"  Chanyeol retorted. Baekhyun's cheeks reddened a bit knowing that his friends were smiling because of what Chanyeol said. But despite of the slight blush, he shot a glare to the Park.

     "Shut up. That was before. That will never happen ever again," Baekhyun replied to him. He's impressed with himself for he managed to say that without stammering. But he didn't know, to Chanyeol, his words were coated with acid.

     Chanyeol heaved a sigh with eyes closed, "Look, Baekhyun. I know, you saw me & Suho-hyung hugging each other b-"

     "As I could recall, you're the one who initiated the hug," Baekhyun cut his words with scorn.

     "I admit that. But that was just a friendly hug."

     "Ahuh? Was it?" The black-haired boy asked in a kinda sarcastic manner.

     "Yes, Baek. He's just comforting me that time," Suho decided to help Chanyeol prove his innocence by speaking up.

     "Oh? Because he's jealous, right, Park?" And that one was unexpected by Chanyeol. He tried to recall what happened and yes, aside that Sehun issue, Suho was kinda jealous and affected with Kai & Kyungsoo. He looked at Suho and the latter's eyes were like telling him to say yes.

     "Yes. He's jealous," Chanyeol softly spoke.

      "See? He's jealous of us, Yeol. Why won't you just tell me the truth?"

      "He's jealous of someone else. He's not jealous of you but instead you're jealous of him. There's nothing going on between me and hyung," Chanyeol softly retorted and he could see Baekhyun's eyes flicker with flames.

     Baekhyun scoffed, "Really, huh? I'm not jealous, Park. I'm displeased. Displeased with the fact that I let myself be fooled by you!"

     "I didn't fool you, I'm not fooling you and I won't fool you..." Yeol kept up his soft tone. All this time, he's just being sincere.

     "Tsk. Sweet words. Then what's that thing that I heard from Sehun? He asked Kai if Joonmyeon-hyung already confessed to you. I saw Kai nodding to that." Chanyeol was taken aback by that. He looked at the two with an asking look.

      "It's true, Yeol-hyung. I asked Kai & he nodded. One time, I asked Suho-hyung about his crush and he & his brother told me that it's Yeol-hyung," Sehun honestly answered to the giant's asking look and Baekhyun was just grinning since he thought that his victory over the Dobi was close.

     "Wait! I did?" Kai asked & the brunette hummed as an answer. "No, that should not be it. I shouldn't have nodded to that," he added.

     "You're busy looking at Kyung," Sehun whispered to his ear.

     "Right. I'm not on my world that time," he landed a look on his brother with a look that's asking whether to reveal the crush issue or not. His hyung's confident smile was the answer.

     "Okay. Listen to me. We all know now that Baekhyun & Chanyeol have a mutual understanding and now a misunderstanding, right? You can infer from their fight," the tan-skinned started the story telling.

     "They do? I haven't realized it," Dyo asked Sehun in a whisper.

     "Seriously, hyung? You're so naive..." White puppy did deadpan. He saw his hyung pout and he just erased that by a pinch on the cheeks.

     "So, that time, Suho-hyung didn't want our Sehunnie here to know his crush. The reason was that his crush was this white boy," he said as he slung his arms around Sehun's neck and snatched him from Luhan.

     "What? Me?"

     "Yup. That's why he doesn't want to tell you that time. So, all this time, guys, Sehun believed that Suho-hyung's crush was Chanyeol. That's the reason why he asked me that question."

     "And Baek, remember when Suho-hyung dropped his spoon? It was right after Sehun talked to him. He didn't know but he's affected," Chanyeol included. Sehun was just feeling sorry for his Joonmyeon-hyung. He's totally unaware of it.

     "Huh! What good storytellers you are, guys. I can't believe that you can do this to me. But you aren't that good. Where's the jealousy part of Suho-hyung then?" Baekhyun bitterly said. Chanyeol looked at Suho, then Kai & Sehun but he had no clue of what to say. Something might be affected or spoiled.

     "What now? Can't think of any excuses? Stop looking for the answers on their eyes, Park. I know you. I'm your bestfriend, right? Correction, I was your bestfriend. I know you planned this all. From the start up until here," Baekhyun emphatically said. Tears could be seen glistening on the corner of his eyes.

     "I loved you, I cared for you. I treated you more than a bestfriend but what?! You did this to me! Oh yeah. I forgot. Of course, you would do this to me because to you, I'm just a bestfriend!"

     "B-Baek..." Chanyeol came closer to him and attempted to touch him.

     "Don't touch me!" Baekhyun reacted with a snap to Chanyeol's hand. He shot him a teary glare and ran away.

     "Baek! Baekhyun! Come back!" Chanyeol shouted and ran after the eyeliner boy. Sehun was about to run also but Luhan held him back by a tight grip on his hand.

     "You've done your part already, Hun," Luhan said to him with a warm smile.

     Sehun and others didn't follow the two and just waited at the fountain. They realized that Kyungsoo and Jongdae were like out of place. They couldn't start clearing the misunderstanding between Jongdae and Joonmyeon since the latter didn't want to unless Baekhyun and Chanyeol were back. Actually, it was just his excuse to prolong the time before he and Jongdae could talk.

     What they were  doing that time was just talking. Kai headed straight to Kyungsoo and you know the reason. What's on Suho's mind was that he would be the one who'd talk to Kyungsoo and his younger brother would talk to Jongdae. He just couldn't talk to Jongdae right away and what Jongin had done had caused Suho to be a bit disappointed. After all, he still cared for Jongdae. He didn't want him to be out of place but he hadn't the heart to talk to him.

     To avoid being obvious, Joonmyeon waited to catch Sehun's eyes and talk to him through small gestures. After few moments, Joonmyeon caught Sehun's eyes. The white boy followed Suho's eyes travel towards Jongdae but Sehun didn't get it. He just gave the shorter a "you'll talk to him later so good luck" smile and resumed talking with Luhan. With that, the older just ignored the thought of Jongdae, thinking "That's just right for him." That was it but the thought of Tenten being out of place and ignored was bugging his conscience. The view of him pitifully playing on the water on the fountain just to entertain himself wasn't helping. So, he took a deep breath with eyes closed and moved his breath.

     "You owe me a lot of answers, Tenten..."

[A/N: oh well. I updated!XD Here's a chapter full of conversations. And another chapter lacking in Hunhan moments. Well, please bear with it for a while. Isn't the Baekyeol moments okay? Lol. (Obviously, not much since it's their arguments. Tsk. What have I done to Baekhyun's attitude?)

Btw, no one suggested any character suitable to be the father of the Kims=[ Help me, please... Any Kim who's suitable to be the husband of Hyorin. I don't mind the group he's from. If I couldn't find any, l'll be changing Hyorin. Help me please....*baby pout* Just comment your suggestions. I'll dedicate the chapter where the father of Suho, Kai and Wookie existed and played a big part to the one who's suggestion was chosen. Is that okay? Please don't be shy to suggest. Just remember that he must be a Kim and not from EXO (wait. Umin-hyung is the only Kim left in EXO that's not yet introduced, right? I can say Umin instead of EXO thereXD. I'm talking nonsense. Haha!). Thanks a billion, .=]

Well. I'm sorry for the mistakes and errors. And thanks for your support. I really appreciate it and it somehow inspires me to try harder and make the story better. Lovelots! XOXO. 'Til the next chapter.=]]
