“Are you sure this is the right thing to do to get on his good side if we barged in directly like this, hyung?” ChanYeol who was nervous asked his LuHan hyung. They were currently sitting in the guest room of the mansion house of Tao. Although they were amazed by the house, it’s completely drown in their nervousness of soon facing with the ex M maknae.

LuHan wasn’t able to reply when they were surprised by the long time no hear voice of Tao. “LuHan…?”

Every pair of eyes turned to look at Tao who was standing not far from them.

“Tao…”

It was Joon Myeon and BaekHyun who actually said the name out from their mouth. Not only the two of them, but all of them were having their jaws dropped seeing the ex M maknae who seemed has changed a lot. Sure, he’s still has the same face as Tao they know, but something from the man in front of them was actually giving them doubt about it.

And it’s all proved when Tao just walked pass JoonMyeon and KyungSoo like they weren’t there and hugged LuHan instead. “What are you doing here, LuHan? I thought you said you’re busy taking over your dad’s work?” He naturally asked LuHan in their mother language without even a glance at the others.

LuHan was clearly surprised by the younger man action but still returned the hug. “I’m fine, Tao. Well, we might rent some rooms of yours here.”

Not only that, he was mostly shocked by the reaction he got from him as well; he thought that the younger man would throw a tantrum, shouted and yelled at him for bringing the others. But no, the younger didn’t even show any of that. He just acted like they weren’t there.

“Zi Tao…”

“Look, I have an important meeting I have to attend. If you want to stay here, you’re welcome here, just tell the maid to prepare the room for you. But I’m sorry, I don’t allow strangers in my house.” And with that, he walked away from them.

“Huang Zi Tao…”

The other eight Korean men could only witness the back of Tao that walked away from them without even giving a glance at them. Although they don’t understand a word what their conversation was about, but from the reaction Tao showed them, it doesn’t take genius to figure it out. To be truth, although they have expected worst reaction from the Chinese man, but it’s still hurt to be treated like they’re air.
