Author POV

10. Accept addition individual schedule for practice session without complaint and keep it from the members.

11. Oblige to the filming procedure if physical training or practice on certain scene is necessary.

12. Use public transport for………….

“What are you reading?”

Sungyeol hastily close his contract terms list and smile nervously at Kris. He was checking his contract again to remind himself.

“No…nothing……just checking something. Is the coach here yet hyung?”

“Nope, wait for 5 minute more. If he didn’t show up yet, let’s go grab some coffee”

“Okay, my treat”

Kris smile at Sungyeol and lying on the floor yawning. They have been waiting almost an hour for the coach. The stunt coach who was responsible to trains them for the drama’s stunt scene. Sungyeol was restless. This is the first time he officially training his body for the stunts part. He used to have a six packed abs in their 2^nd year of their debut. But he’s too lazy to keep in shape. Now he needs to get back that abs in 2 week the most.

Sungyeol sit beside Kris and rub the guy tummy. Feeling the six packed abs through the fabric he wore. The choding became closer to Kris in just 3 weeks of their filming for the drama. They also train and eat together. Kris helps him a lot for fighting part and Sungyeol help him to improve Kris’s acting skill.

“You are so lucky hyung. You still got your abs and you know a bit of martial art, so you won’t be training as hard as I am”

“No wonder……it’s minus five” chuckling Kris while rubbing back Sungyeol’s flat tummy with his palm.

“Yah!!!! Hyung~~~”

Kris laughing and roll around to avoid Sungyeol pinch attack. Teasing the choding is one of his hobbies now. Kris was really comfortable with Sungyeol and he can be himself when he was with the guy. Sungyeol’s bubbly and antics remind him of Tao. Tao is in China now and he rarely got to see him after the said guy left EXO right after he and Luhan left the group. He planned to meet his former EXO’s members, but it is hard without being noticed by the company or EXO-L. He was forbid to meet them according to his contract termination terms.

Kris sits up and sighs. He missed his ex-members. How absurd it is to cut a friendship because of some business contract. He knew the EXO leader, Suho hyung still upset with his decision to left. Tao still regret when Baekhyun and Chanyeol cut their friendship because they disappointed with him. Only Luhan remains neutral and act as himself. Although Kris knew that Luhan continuously contacting Sehun to knew the development and the condition of EXO’s members. Only Kyungsoo still keep in contact with Kris.

“Hyung……..are you okay?”

“Huh?”

Kris smile thinly when he see a concern look on Sungyeol. The choding do act like Tao sometime. So caring and honest. Although Tao is not as loud as this guy.

“Nothing……I just missed my EXO’s members. I’m in Korea yet I can’t even meet them. I wonder what they are doing now”

Sungyeol just lowering his head and silently sigh. Kris pats Sungyeol’s head and smile. He though the boy might felt guilty asking the question.

“I’m the one who missed them, why you look so depressed suddenly?”

“How does it feel, hyung?”

“Hurm? What do you mean?”

“I mean leaving your members………leaving EXO…..how does it feel?”

Kris smile died and he gazes deeply into the boy eyes. Kris opens his mouth after a while.

“Like betraying my family and make them cry and hurt because of my lacking self. Although all I did is to protect myself. If no one took the first step to walk away from the slave contract, me, Tao and Luhan with torture ourselves. Well at least, Lay didn’t get the same treatment anymore after we left. If not I’ll drag him out my selves”

“Did you regret your decision, hyung?”

“Nope, not at all. It’s for the better. Although a lot of heart is broken along the way. But still, the broken relationship between 12 of us is not easy to be fixed. Tao is not as cheerful as he was and Luhan smile is not the same anymore”

“So, leaving is protecting but also hurting………” Mumble Sungyeol. He bites his lower lip and focuses his sight on the floor.

Dongwoo creep behind Sungjong’s back and jump on the poor boy. Sungjong was so startled that he almost said a cursed word to his hyper hyung.

“Don’t do that hyung!!!!! You gave me a heart attack”

“Yeah..yeah…..like you gonna get one...if it Sungyu hyung, than there is possibility”         

Dongwoo chuckles at his own words. He’ll be dead if the leader heard it. He’s actually trying to cheer up the maknae. The boy was a bit off nowadays. He didn’t laugh and smile like he used too.

“Why are you so tense, Jongie ah? Relax….I know our schedule is getting tighter and tiring nowadays because of our upcoming concert’s promotion. But we all have gone through this before right?”

Sungjong huff heavily and circling his arms around Dongwoo’s waist. He buried his face on the older shoulder.

“I don’t know hyung. It felt more stressful than we used too. Sungyu hyung and Woohyun hyung was so busy that we didn’t get to have dinner together for more than a week. You and Hoya hyung always have separate schedule than us.”

“Myungsoo hyung become more and more hard to talk too and Sungyeol hyung…………….……I miss his voice. He always came home late and leaved before us…….….the only time I get to meet him is when our group schedule. But he’ll be missing right after that”  

Dongwoo smile faintly and pat gently the maknae’s head and lean his cheek to Sungjong’s small head. So that’s was the case.

The maknae missed Sungyeol’s scent. And Myungsoo’s moody attitude is also because of Sungyeol. Myungsoo can’t even have a chat with Sungyeol without repeating his words again and again because Sungyeol is too tired to focus to his best friend. The choding is very busy lately and Dongwoo bet that Sungyeol only get to sleep 2-3 hours a day to recharged his energy for the next schedule. When they were together for group schedule, Sungyeol will dozed off and keep quiet to reserve his energy.

Dongwoo also felt a bit affected by that. He has no one to have fun with. Dongwoo worried that their group dynamic will be slowly affected.
