“Encore, encore, encore”,

Shouts the audience just as Dark Kiss finished their song.

Sehun glances to Lay at his left & smiles.

“Encore” announces Tao, His voice sharp yet so soft, causing the audience to start ‘fangirling’;

As Chanyeol starts hitting the cymbals down to beating the drums,
Kyungsoo starts to sing.

“Man, I’m beat~!” whines Tao while stretching his arms.

Their jamming usually finishes up til midnight but since Minseok is occupied this evening, they wrapped it up earlier than the usual.

“Guys, I need to rush home, you know that my nephew will start living with me, right? Just got texted that he’s near my house now” states Minseok in a hurry

“Tao and I are taking the bus… so see yah around” adds Sehun leaving the three.

“Gee… so cold…” whines Lay as he rubs his arms

“---choo!” Kyungsoo sneezes and rubs his nose

Chanyeol turns to him and hangs his jacket on Kyungsoo’s shoulders

“Chanyeol-ah, it’s ok—“

“tsk, that’s why I told you to wear one” cuts him as he stuffs the jacket for better fit on the shorter guy

“Channie, I’m cold too~” teases Lay

“yeah yeah” answers Chanyeol while patting his back

“maybe adding a member (in the band) won’t be a bad idea” he adds

“why’d you think so?”

“because as manager-hyung said earlier, your vocals are pretty sensitive, you catch cold easily, you’re allergic to dust, smoke, and stuffs”

“we need an additional for vocals…” gabs Lay

“…think so” Kyungsoo getting the point as he sniffs

Chanyeol puts on the jacket’s hoodie on Kyungsoo and holds his hands as he smiles to the latter and say,

“warmer now?”

Kyungsoo just smiled back and quickly turns his head away

Still smiling, he’s thinking how thankful he is that it’s dark so his friend won’t notice the redness of his face
He always wishes for sweet times like this but never greed for more.
For him, as long as he got to receive this much affection from his friend, then it would be more than enough.

“My turn’s this way, so nightieee” Lay, as always, catches the perfect time to in as he flashes a ‘hwaiting’ stance to Kyungsoo before going off

As lifeless as ever, Lay walks toward their house gate sighing as he’s too lazy to unlock it

“oh, you also just got home?”

Lay tensed upon hearing the other speak. Of course he knows whose voice it is.
He glanced to his side and nods at the guy next door who is also in the process of opening the gate.

His neighbor who used to be his childhood friend, Suho

“You too…” Lay starts, he noticed the tip-off tiredness on the other’s face.

“ah, yeah. Council meeting just ended and got some stuffs to do… hehe”

You’ve worked hard---is what he wanted to say but settles for only an “oh.”

“ah, yeah, so, good night, see you tomorrow” counters Suho and flashes a smile.

Lay gives a weak smile in return as he walks inside.

He lets out a long sigh, and then paused to end up smiling again…

Morning trains are Sehun’s least option in heading to the university; but for some mood he has, he ended up riding one this morning.

His attention got immediately caught by the guy near him whose face is extremely beautiful for a man.
But he is too lazy to care and to admire

After two stops, he noticed the guy near him looking uncomfortable and irritated… only to realize that the latter was being harassed by some old geezer next to them.
Sehun don’t give a bit of a damn but he sure felt irritated too, he then turned to look away.

Tsk what a sight for this morning.

He glaces back as he felt the shorter guy sigh and inhale big time, as the latter shouted,

“Gross! Yah! Ajusshi! Will you please stop groping my brother’s ?!”

Sehun’s eyes widen with shock. That this short girly guy just blurted out those words;
That the people around inside the train are looking at them;
That apparently, he is the guy’s brother who is being d by some old ;
And that these are happening to his very own self.

The next thing he know is that the shorter guy’s arms linked unto his own as if he was being defended from that disgusting r.

Just as the r’s face turned pale to red due to people’s piercing glare, embarrassment and everything..
Sehun felt like his own face turning violet to green due to shock and brain short circuit.

The r got off the very next stop; and the pretty guy taps Sehun, bringing him back to his consciousness, and whispers “sorry”.

As soon as his brain started to process again, Sehun gave the other guy a ‘you-won’t-just-get-away-with-this’ look on his face.

Chanyeol fell asleep while writing their lyrics for their new song. His back rested on the wall as rays of sunlight coming from the window glass light some part of his face.

He especially went early to university to stop by the music room the first thing in the morning but eventually dozed off.

Then he faintly hears someone singing near him and slowly opens his eyes as they adjusted to clearly see the guy sitting not so far across him singing a part of his song with music sheets scattered in place.

“oh, Chanyeol-ssi, you’re awake” says the guy with a smile

Chanyeol gave a questioning look, though the guy seems familiar, he didn’t really know the guy at all.

“oh, of course you might not know me, I’m Byun Baekhyun, we’re classmates in Chemistry and Calculus” as Baekhyun catches that he need to introduce himself somehow.

“and I’m not the one who scattered the music sheets; I was just passing by when I almost stepped on one and saw the other sheets here and I’m about to gather them all til I saw how you look really handsome asleep and I ----“ he adds when he felt like he need to explain further

“…you were singing…”

“ah yeah” Baekhyun answers as he gathers the sheets “but wow! did you made all these? Cool!” he adds

“can you, sing some parts from before again?”

“ah, yea…” a bit weirded by the other guy’s request, Baekhyun started to sing some lines

          'walcheucheoreom sappunhi anja nuneul ttel su eobseo
        You sit lightly like a waltz and I can’t take my eyes off of you
          'siseoni jayeonseure georeummada neol ttaragajanha
        My eyes naturally follow you each step you take

Chanyeol really fell in love with Baekhyun’s voice…
He then smiles a big radiant smile… enough to make Baekhyun stopped by entrancement

Without any word, Chanyeol pulls the shorter one closer for a hug and say…

“Will you go out with me?”
