After the movie, our group went out for dinner. The Kim boys with their dad decided to go home since their mom was not present. Mrs. Min went straight to the restaurant after her work to join our family and her family for dinner. I was rather disappointed that I won't be able to see JK longer, but Kris and Chanyeol were watching me intently. So I silently accepted my disappointment. JK had slipped a note to me as the end credits were being shown right after the movie while everyone was busy talking to each other about the movie. I had hoped that none of my eagle-eyed brothers saw it. I excused myself to the ladies' room after we went out the movie theater. I quickly read the note. It didn't say much except JK had written his number on it and a scribble that said: "Couldn't ask for your number, so I'm giving mine. Call or text me?"

Papa and Mr. Min had decided on the restaurant where we were to have dinner. Since there was no reservation, they had to look for one that would allow twenty people. In the end, it was decided that we just go to an all-you-can-eat restaurant. It was not our usual "dining style" but Jin had suggested to his dad to try Chinese cuisine in one of the all-you-can-eat restos just near the mall. Suho and Kris and the older boys knew the place and seconded Jin's suggestion. Of course I knew about the place, but since I was the youngest here, it wasn't my place to decide. I just followed everyone as they made their way to the mall's parking. I climbed the car where mama was and sat beside her. I felt the note in my pocket. I dared not take it out for Luhan ge was sitting on my other side. It was a 3 car convoy to the resto and as the drivers circle the parking area for space, I looked out the window. It was starry outside, although it wasn't that dark. I checked my watch. It was just 15 minutes after 6 PM.

After parking, we trooped inside the resto. The attendants showed us to our seats. They managed to seat us in one long table. A group of tourists sat on one table beside ours, and a group of businessmen (probably foreigners) were seated nearby. There were 2 or 3 couples too, and a family of 5 near the entrance. Since it was an all-you-can-eat resto, it was buffet style. The boys lined up first, Tao, Sehun and Baekhyun leading. Papa just chuckled as Sehun scooped a large amount of seaweed salad. It was his favorite. Yep, he eats seaweed salad. None other got it, but Sehun. I trailed behind mama. I stole a glance at Taehyung who was two people ahead of me. He was tasting every food he passed and got a scoop or portion of each. In the end, his plate looked like there was a miniature mountain of food and he was laughing. Namjoon took a dumpling from the top of the mountain and gobbled it up. He nodded as he appreciated the taste and went back to the buffet table to get some more.

Papa was busy talking to Mr. Min about their business. Even if it was a weekend and we were out eating for leisure, they were talking about work. Mama and Mrs. Min just shook their heads, understanding their husbands. As we ate dinner, the boys were still talking about the movie. I wanted to join, but I got conscious, since I caught Taehyung looking at me. He actually looked awkward as he was staring. It was like he wanted to say something but couldn't. Maybe because Luhan was seated beside me to my right. Mama was to my left. I gave him an awkward smile as well. He almost choked on his food and looked away. I stifled a laugh. But Luhan looked at me suspiciously and glanced at Taehyung. But the latter was now busy picking his mountain of food and savoring each bite. Luhan cleared his throat as he looked at me again. I stopped laughing and concentrated on my food.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tao, Sehun, Chanyeol and Kris went for second helpings. Namjoon and Yoon Gi followed. Taehyung rubbed his belly and passed on a second helping. He still had a hillock of food on his plate. Papa and Mr. Min were joking with each other about papa's new business venture; our Phuket resort. Mr. Min was also thinking of venturing into the food business and was joking that he'd apply as papa's restaurant manager in Phuket. Mama and Mrs. Min were talking about mama's classes. Mrs. Min was a doctor too. A pediatrician. While all these were taking place, Lay absentmindedly dropped his table napkin. As he bent down to pick it up, someone beat him to it and picked it up for him. When he looked up to thank the person, he found himself face to face with Chagiya. I didn't know what went on his mind, but he suddenly looked away and chuckled. His dimples showing, Chen, who was seated beside him, noticed. He coughed playfully, "chagiya...chagiya..." Everyone else who heard him looked at him. Lay was already thanking Chagiya who was blushing. We all turned to look at Soo who suddenly froze and stared at the girl. She was with her sister and a friend.

So, they followed us here? Hmmm... I didn't think so, though. We didn't see them as we went out the theater. Her older sister, Song Qian, nodded at Suho. She beamed at Yoon Gi, too. She recognized that Yoon Gi was the new classmate. Suho ge waved his hand and nodded at her. After Lay thanked Hui Qiao a.k.a. Chagiya, they went on their way to find seats. An attendant seated them at the far end of the resto, by the window. Lay suddenly giggled a lot then faced Soo. He batted his eyelashes and made a kissy face at Soo. Chanyeol burst out laughing and knocked his glass of iced-tea. Good thing it didn't spill all over the table because Xiumin ge was able to hold it steady before it toppled over.

Murmurs were exchanged at the table with Chagiya's appearance. Tao automatically picked up his phone and went online. He snapped a photo of Chagiya and then took one of Soo, then made it into a collage and captioned it: "Kyungie meets Chagiya" and uploaded it on his IG account and FB, tagging all 13 of us. I bet that wherever Kai gege was tonight, that he'd be curious about this meeting. All of us took out our phones and checked online. The Min brothers joined in the fun as Sehun showed Taehyung the photo on his phone. Suho and Yoon Gi suddenly went into a deep conversation about Song Qian, their classmate, and Suho relayed the connection of the Song sisters to Soo oppa. Papa and Mr. Min were still oblivious to what was happening. They were still in their business talk. Mama and Mrs. Min were no different, talking about baby patients and new mothers that Mrs. Min was helping.

Soo: Why are you doing this to me?

Suho: Let them be. If you get affected by it, they'll bully you more.

Soo: I don't wanna be bullied anymore. OTL

Me: Oppa, you are lucky. Someone likes you, and they don't have someone like her.

Soo: But it's awkward.

Me: Yes, it is.

Suho: Tao... Delete the pic now.

Tao: What pic?

Suho: That pic you just posted now.

Tao: Why?

Luhan: Just delete it. Now.

Tao: Alright...alright...

And he deleted the pic. He was afraid of Luhan. He was more afraid of papa. I guess the bullies would stop only if papa was present. Tsk, tsk... It was fun while it lasted, though. I admit, I found it cute that Chagiya found her way to the same resto that we were in. But, on the one hand, I also felt sorry for Soo oppa that he was being picked on again. Tao ge didn't mean to bully Soo, of course. I knew he just wanted to show the world that Soo and his admirer were in one place at the same time. I guess Luhan was about to tell papa, but he tried to stop Tao first before telling. When Tao heeded his reprimand, he decided not to tell papa anymore. Soo looked relieved, but kept his head down the rest of the evening at the resto.

After dinner and papa's business talk with Mr. Min, we said our goodbyes and went on our separate ways home. Papa had called Kai to check up on him. We asked papa how he was and we got the reply that Kai was with his eomma at a party and that he was rather enjoying himself. Papa added that he could hear classical music playing in the background while talking to Kai. I wasn't sure if Kai was telling the truth about enjoying the party, but who knows? He might be really enjoying it. Sometimes, I'd catch him listening to classical music when he's in his element and doing his homework. It was not normal for a guy to listen to classical music, but Kai does listen to it. In fact, it was not only him in this family who listens to classical music. There was Soo oppa, Suho, Kris (yes...Kris dragon gege), Tao, Baekhyun, Lay and Chen. Xiumin, Luhan, Sehun and Chanyeol weren't the classical types of guys, though. They were more into alternative pop and jazz instrumental, with a little bit of rock. I think most soccer players at school love those music genres.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We arrived home around 9:13 PM. The househelp had to stay a little longer to wait for us and they left after we were all settled in. The next day was Sunday. Papa was supposed to go to Hong Kong for his work. Mama would be going with him. They will be in Hong Kong until Friday, because Mama had classes on Saturday. Before going to sleep, papa called the older boys to his office to give them instructions.

I went up to my room and got my sleep stuff ready then I went to the bathroom to shower. Tao gege was there first, so I had to wait until he finished. I sat on the floor outside the bathroom. Chanyeol went out of their room with his towel and as he saw me sitting on the floor, he went back inside the room. When he came back, he sat beside me. I saw him sick a piece of paper on his chest. It had the number 2 written on it. I smiled and asked why he stuck it there. He patted the number and said that it meant he was next in line after me. I laughed.

Chen came up from the bathroom on the guest bedroom. He already was in his sleep clothes and whistling to himself. He hung his towel on his shoulder and excused himself as he passed us on the floor. I saw Sehun run towards the guest room to take a bath, Baekhyun following him. But as Sehun had longer legs, he beat Baek and the latter waited inside the room. When Tao finished, I got up and went inside the bathroom. Soo oppa went out of their room and proceeded downstairs. He didn't wanna wait for either Chanyeol or Baekhyun to finish, so he went down. Lay just appeared on the stairway rubbing his hair with his towel. He showered downstairs, too.

As I shut the bathroom door, I heard the oldies coming up the stairs.

Kris: I call dibs on the upstairs bathroom.

Luhan: Sure. I'll go in the guest room.

Xiumin: I'll be downstairs.

Suho: ...I'll use mama and papa's...? 

Kris/Xiumin: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Suho: What?

Luhan: Okay. Write to us, will you?

Suho: What? What?

Xiumin: Papa won't give you your wages if you use their bathroom, you know.

Kris: Yes. It's a salary deduction.

Xiumin: 20% off your wages, mind you.

Suho: Oh please. I can ask for it as bonus.

Luhan: Cut it out.

Suho: I'm serious. Even househelp get bonuses.

Xiumin: True that.

Kris: Then I think papa should take your Saturday off and just give you that bonus?

Suho: No way. I still get weekends off. OTL

Xiumin: It's not fair to your employer.

Luhan: Aish. I'm done with you guys... So done...

I laughed inside the bathroom. I heard Yo oppa laughing at Luhan as well. Kris started to sing very loudly. He sang a Disney song. Theme from Mulan. Reflection. LOL. I didn't know what made him blurt out that song, but I also heard Chanyeol, Xiumin and Suho sing along. Luhan shouting.

Kris: Look at meeee... I will never pass for a perfect bride... or a perfect daughter....Luhaaaeeeeennnn... Mulaaaaeeennnnn

Luhan: Shut up, Captain Shang!

Chanyeol: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Kris: Whoooo...is that girl I seeeeee....

Suho: Girl? Luhan?

Chanyeol: Hahahahaha...

Kris: Staring straight...back at meeee.....

Luhan: Imma bite your , Krisscles...if you don't stop.

Kris/Xiumin: Why is my reflection someone I dooonnnn't knowwwww...

Chanyeol/Suho: Somehow I cannot hide...who I am...though I've trieddd...

Luhan: You are all grounded!

Hahahahahaha! I finished my bath and stepped out the bathroom with a stitch at my side. I found them still outside the upstairs hallway. Kris and Xiumin dancing like ballerinas to and for the hall. Suho and Chanyeol on the floor laughing while singing. Luhan was in their room, because I couldn't see him outside. As I walked to my room, he appeared outside their room carrying a pen.

Luhan: I swear, I will stab you with this if you don't stop.

Kris: Ohhh... It's pink!

Chanyeol: I'm outta here...taking a baahahahahahaha-aath. Hahaha.

He slipped past me and went inside the bathroom still laughing. Luhan threw the pen at Kris, who caught the pen and shoot's it at the nearest vase on the table at the end of the hall. I lingered at the door to my room, still laughing at my idiot older brothers. 

Kris: And Mulan throws the pen and Captain Shang catches it, shoots it aaaannddd.... Scores! Three point shot for Captain Shang!

Luhan: Aishhh....

Suho: You'll get a 50% bonus for this, Captain Shang. Papa will give you an extra day off for successfully shooting that pen in the vase.

Kris: I know, right.

Xiumin: I should practice my soccer skills then.

Kris: Okay. What song shall we sing for your soccer practice?

Suho: Bibbidi bobbidi boo?

Xiumin: What the f-udge?

Kris: Let's go get you a blue dress, fairy godmother... Hahahah

And that made Luhan laugh, forgetting he was mad at Kris.

A short chapter again. Something light. IDK. I just wanted Kris to sing a Disney song. LOL. xD

I just feel like wanting to laugh at Captain Shang, Mulan and Fairy Godmother... Kris, Luhan and Xiumin.
