"So, Xiumin. I think it's time for you and me." Said Lara

   “Yea..yeah. I guess so.” Xiumin said shyly.

   “What do you want to do?” She asked softly.

   "I’ll just follow whatever you wanted to do. I do not want to force you." said Xiumin

   "Let's get out and see the stars, then." Lara said

   "All Right." Said Xiumin agreed.

   They decided to spread a mat on the ground and enjoyed the open air while looking at the stars in the sky.

"You did not say much, but I guess I feel comfortable with you because I actually do not like talking too much, too." Lara said to Xiumin.

'Ah, really?' Xiumin said in his heart, blushed to hear that Lara felt comfortable with him.

"Really. I'm fascinated by how the 12 of you have different traits but you that what makes you all complete."

   “It was actually felt weird. To think that I should spent each day with different guys. But now that I lived through it, it isn’t really that bad. Wondering who is the guy that will spending time with me next.”

   Then Lara flipped over to her right side and facing Xiumin, placing her head on her right arms, forming an angle.              

   "Aren’t you glad spending time with me? Why didn’t you say anything?” Said Lara who wanted Xiumin to speak something about himself.

   “Of course I’m glad! I’m happy and I really look forward to this.” Said Xiumin. Then, he also flipped his body to his left side so that he could see Lara and proved that he really meant it.

   "Being the oldest among others, made me feel responsible and unconsciously kept me watching over them. Because there are so many of them and most of them were so noisy, I couldn’t follow them in being childish and I think I'm just going to keep an eye on them quietly. I think, it becomes a habit and made me didn’t speak a lot."

   "But sometimes, you have to express what you want. You have to tell people what you feel. That way, you will feel balance in your life." Said Lara.

   “I’ve tried, but I feel like I should control my ego, too.” Said Xiumin.

   “You feel that you need to be a good role model for others, don’t you? Asked Lara again.

   “Yeah, I think..sort of.” Xiumin then smiled and made his chubby cheeks full.

   Unconsciously Lara touched his cheeks and Xiumin then held Lara’s hand which was holding on his cheeks gently.

   "You can keep on touching it if you like.” Said Xiumin sincere and straightforward, making Lara’s heart fluttered.

   Realizing that what Lara had done might be impolite towards Xiumin, she then pulled out her hands which was on Xiumin’s cheeks.

   “Sorry, I didn’t realize...” she Said.

   “It’s okay. Look Lara, the things you just did it was something natural that would happen if you were with us. Don’t fight it, follow it. That way, it’ll be easier for our bond to ge closer.” Said Xiumin. 

   ‘Really? Should I really do that?’ Lara said in her mind.

   ‘Anyway, it seemed that he wouldn’t lie about it. Being the oldest, he might knew about these things more than the others.’ She added.

   “Xiumin..” Called Lara suddenly.

   “Yes?” Answered Xiumin.

   “Can you show me how you use your Ice/Frost power? The other night, Luhan told me and showed me how he did his Telekinenis and Telepathy power, I’m curious about yours, too.” Said Lara.

   “Oh, yes of course.” Responded Xiumin.
