Taehyung followed Yeo out of the coffee shop but stopped when he saw the man approach a car. “I’m not going with you.”

Yeo stopped and slowly turned, “Why not?”

“Because I don’t know you. I’m not going to get into your car and go to God knows where.”

Yeo smiled, “Hyung is so responsible. I suddenly feel foolish for even suggesting it.”

Taehyung was relieved that his momentary lapse of judgement had not landed him in a weird situation. “I don’t want to have any misunderstandings.”

“Hyung…” Yeo walked up to him, “You have lived peacefully all these years not even thinking about me.” Taehyung couldn’t help but blush, “And I think this is not the best place to have this conversation.”

Kai slept later than usual but no one woke him. The weekend was pretty much a bust and when he did eventually come downstairs the others had their bags packed and were closing off the house with the housekeeper.

“We thought we’d get back early.” Kyungsoo said, “We have school tomorrow.”

Kai didn’t argue. He knew they were doing this cause they felt bad but he couldn’t wait to get home.

“We’re ready,” Chen said as he signed off the inventory with the housekeeper.

“Let’s get the hell out of h
