Note: Long story ahead! It's one of my favorite chapter. Hope you'll like it^-^

Time flied so fast, 13 days have passed since the arrival of the boys from EXO Planet. Because Lara had spent time with each boys, she gradually felt closer with them.

    She was opening her bedroom door and walked in the hallway when she saw Kai who just woke up. He was still wearing pajamas, his hair still in a mess and he was standing in front of his door.

   "Morning Kai..." exclaimed Lara and approached him.

   "Oh, Lara. Morning..." Kai replied, yawning and then hugged Lara, leaning on her body, still sleepy.

   "Hey, Kai...you’re heavy, you know." said Lara but hugged him back, holding his heavy body.

   "Let's go and eat breakfast." Lara said then turned around, taking Kai who was still hugging Lara as he leaned back. Kai walked while leaning and hugged Lara from behind like a Zombie.

   Once opening the dining room door, Chanyeol and Chen could be seen helping breakfast preparation on the table. Chanyeol and Chen then noticed  about Lara who just entered the dining room. They also saw Kai who was still hugging Lara from behind while leaning on her. They rushed to approach them and tried to keep Kai away from Lara while saying hello to her.

   "Morning Lara!" Chen said while smiling made his cheeks rose and shaping a particular wave on his lips. Then Chen jumped towards Lara and hugged her right away.

    “Oh—” she gasped but swiftly caught Chen and hugged him back.

   “Morning, Chen...” said Lara.

   Chanyeol who releasing Kai from Lara’s shoulder, hugged her from behind and briefly kissed her on her left cheeks.

 "Morning ..." said Chanyeol.

   "Morning, Chanyeol." She blushed and smiled back, while Kai headed to the chair afterwards, sat down and leaned his head on the table to get back to sleep, still not aware of what happened.

   Lara turned and went to the kitchen. She saw Kate who was cooking accompanied by Lay and DO.

   "Morning Kate..." said Lara

   "Morning, sweetheart..." Kate replied as she smiled and then rushed into the dining room, carrying some cooked dishes that were ready to be served.

   "What do we have for breakfast this morning?” asked Lara to D.O and watched from behind his back.

   "You will like it. Here, give it a try." said D.O while feeding Lara a piece of sausage.

   "Hm, it’s delicious!" said Lara and DO smiled.

   Lara moved to the right side to see the dishes being cooked on the stove. Just then Lay came from the dining room and hugged Lara’s waist and kissed her right cheek.

   "Hey...did you sleep well last night?" asked Lay.

   “Yeah. Thanks for asking.” Lara said smiling. Lay then continued to cook the dishes on the stove while still hugging Lara’s waist.

   When the dish finally  cooked, Lara took a plate and Lay put the food on the plate and Lara brought them to the dining room. Just then she saw Luhan moving the glasses above the table with his telekinesis.

   Their eyes met, Luhan smiled while waving his hand towards Lara briefly then turned around and went into a room where the tableware stored to take some more glasses so he could placed them again on the dining table.

   Lara then followed Luhan and went into the tableware room, closing the door behind her.

   “Oh—” said Luhan when he saw Lara approached him and closed the door.

   “Luhan, I want to talk to you about something.” said Lara.

   Luhan put the glasses that were still flying in the air and said, “I know. You don’t have to tell me anything.” he said and was about to use his telekinesis to move the glasses.

   "Luhan!" exclaimed Lara while holding Luhan’s hands as if stopped him from moving the glasses for a moment.

   "I know you can understand what I want to say through your telepathy. But I'm still going to say it." she said again.

   "I haven’t had a chance to apologize, for ignoring you when you slapped Kai. I also want to thank you for helping me and Tao to accomplish the mission while doing the ‘night investigation’. Thank you for preventing and helping Baekhyun from falling when he jumped from the swing. Thank you for always worrying about my safety." said Lara sincerely.

   "I know..." responded Luhan again.

   "But..." protested Lara.

   Then Luhan held both Lara’s shoulder and pushed her slowly towards the wall, he touched her lips with his index finger as if signaling Lara to be silent.

   "I know..I know what you feel deep in your heart. That’s enough for me." Luhan said smiling.

   "Luhan, please don’t make people misunderstand you. Don’t bear it all alone, let me help you. I can’t let you hurt yourself. You act like a bad guy, but you're the most caring of them all." Lara said with a sad face.

   "Lara...say sweet words like that again and I don’t know what will happen to you." Luhan said, touching her lips with his thumb this time, took a step closer as if preparing to kiss her.

   Two centimetres left before Luhan could kiss Lara, the door opened.

   “Hey! What are you guys doing!?” exclaimed Kris.

   “I..I...I’m.” Lara stuttered. Before Lara could say anything, Luhan rushed outside while carrying the glasses with his telekinesis power, smiled and ignored Kris.

   Seeing Kris, Lara became awkward and decided to go out of the room while saying, “I..I’ll go and call the others to have breakfast.” said her to Kris who was still suspicious of what just happened.

   Walking through the dining room, Lara felt reluctant to stare at Luhan because she still felt embarrased of what he just did to her.          

   ‘What was wrong with Luhan? Why did he say that? His actions made me...’ said Lara in her mind didn’t finish her sentence, because she knew Luhan could read her mind. Luhan who heard it smiled mischievously, imagining what would the continuation of Lara’s sentence be.

   When Lara opening the dining room door, she finally decided to take a glance at Luhan to see his expression and missed Xiumin who was about to enter the dining room and made Lara lunged over him.

   “Oh! Oops.” said Lara, surprised because she just ran into Xiumin. Xiumin who was on guard fortunately pulled himself so the impact wasn’t so hard.

   “Lara!” shouted Xiumin.

   “Are you okay?” asked Xiumin.

   “Yeah, Xiumin. Sorry I didn’t see you.” Lara said.

   “It’s okay.” answered Xiumin then a second later he carried Lara suddenly.

   “Ah, Xi..Xiumin! What are you doing?” asked Lara startled that Xiumin suddenly carried her.

   “Making sure you’re okay.” then Xiumin took her to a couch in the living room.

   Being so close to Xiumin, Lara could smell Xiumin’s scent who just took a shower and made Lara fluttered yet again.

   Then Xiumin laying Lara down on the couch and touched her forehead to check whether Lara was having a fever, then he held both her cheek.

   “Your body temperature is normal. Do you feel pain anywhere?”

   “No, Xiumin. I’m okay. I just didn’t watch where I was going. I’m sorry.” answered Lara.

   “Really? All right then. Becareful where you going next time, okay?” said Xiumin again.

   “Yes, I understand. Now, I’ll go upstairs to call the others.” Lara told Xiumin than rushed to go upstairs.

   “Oh. Morning Lara.” said Suho when they met in the stairs.

   “Morning, Suho.” answered Lara.

   Suddenly Suho stopped Lara and held her arms.

   “Are you okay? Your cheek looks so red.” asked Suho who noticed about Lara’s cheek that was blushing.

   “O..oh yeah. I guess it will fade away after I wash my face.” said Lara lying.

   “Why don’t you go to the dining room? Everyone’s been waiting to have breakfast.” said Lara again and rushed to go upstairs without waiting for Suho’s response.

   Lara took a breath and exhaled then walked slowly in the hall to calm her down.
   ‘What’s wrong with them today? Eventhough I’ve prepared to receive endless skinship from them, I’d never thought it would be that intense. Especially when Luhan—Ah, forget about it. I better wake Sehun, Tao and Baekhyun.’ thought Lara in her mind.

   Lara walked into Sehun’s room. She knocked on the door. After a while she didn’t hear any answer, she opened the door and went inside. Sehun and Tao were still sleeping. Tao usually slept with Kris, but when Kris didn’t want be disturbed, Tao would sleep with Sehun or Kai.

   “Sehun...wake up.” said Lara while poking Sehun’s arms. Sehun still didn’t respond. Lara then touched Sehun’s cheek gently while calling him again.

   “Sehun..the sun has rises, wake up.” Sehun finally responding and opened his eyes slowly.  

   “Oh, Lara..” he said smiling then closed his eyes again.

   “Hey..Sehun. Come on, wake up.” said Lara when she saw that Sehun closed his eyes again.

   “Hm, I’m still sleepy.” he whined.

   “Come on...Sehun.” said Lara trying to persuade Sehun to wake up.     

   Sehun got up, but then he put his head on Lara’s lap and hugging her waist.

   “Why are you acting like this? Come on, wake up...” said Lara, seeing Sehun’s adorable action towards her.

   Sehun lifted his head, smiling.

   "Okay Princess..." he said and then hugged her.

   After Sehun awoke, he tried to wake Tao up but he didn’t respond and felt disturbed. In the end, Sehun gave up and went to the dining room first while Lara was the one who woke Tao up instead.

   “Tao...it’s me. Wake up.” said Lara.

   “Sleepy...” groaned Tao who still closing his eyes.

   Then Lara thought of an idea. Knowing that Tao was afraid of insects and ghosts, Lara thought to lie to Tao so that he’d wake up from his sleep.

   "Tao! Watch out there is cockroach over there! Look, it flies towards you!" shouted Lara. Seconds later, Tao was immediately shocked and woke up.

   "What?! Cockroaches? Where?! Ah!!" respond Tao.

   "Watch out, he went into your blanket." lied Lara again.

   "Huwaa, I'm afraid!! Get rid of the cockroach!" shouted Tao and rushed to hide behind Lara’s back.

   "Tao, go outside while I get rid of the cockroach. Go to the dining room for breakfast." said Lara.

   “Okay, please get rid of the cockroach for me. Thank you.” said Tao and hugged Lara briefly.

   “Yeah, don’t worry and let me handle it.” said Lara, smiling mischievously.

   Tao then rushed to go outside and headed to the dining room.

   ‘Okay, one problem solved.’ said Lara after successfully woke Tao up.

   After ensuring that Tao had walked away, she came out and walked into Baekhyun’s room.          

   KNOCK KNOCK

   She waited for a moment, footsteps could be heard behind the door and the door opened.

   "Who is it?" asked Baekhyun who rushed to open the door.

   "Oh, Lara. Morning!" he said again after seeing that Lara was the one who knocked on the door and hugged her.

   “Morning..” answered Lara, smiling.

   "Thank god you're awake, let’s go downstairs. Everyone is waiting in the dining room." said Lara again.

   "Oh really? Okay, let's go." responded Baekhyun.         

   She had almost forgotten about the incident she had just experienced with Luhan and Xiumin that made her heart fluttered until the moment she entered the dining room and saw them again. From the expressions on their faces, it looked like nothing happened, and well, she finally decided to calm down and finished her breakfast.

   After having breakfast, Lara and the others decided to help Kate tidying up their tablewares and cuttleries.
