“What kind of photos? The embarrassing kind?” Chen chuckled as the arrived at the venue.

“I hope noona wont file for divorce once she sees what we’re doing,” Kai joked along as they moved.

“Oh, right, I heard about that cultural center.” Baekhyun said to Chanyeol as they looked for their respective seats. Suho and Kai were taking photos with the other guests.

“Yeah, abeoji was really adamant to get that deal~”

“Hyung!” Jaehyun called them from across the aisle. Chanyeol grinned at his cousin.

“Won’t that be difficult? I heard you were working with a foreign company.” Baekhyun spoke as they made their way towards the younger male.

“I’m not really sure, but I’m meeting their side soon. I might need a translator too.”

“Oh, Chanyeol hyung!” Lucas stood up to greet them.

“Lucas, you really did show up.” Chanyeol shook the male’s hand in a friendly manner, then he heard Baekhyun blurt out.

“Daebak.”

Alessa’s brows were knitted together as she tried to mentally will the group of young men not to walk towards them. She balked when the tall dude and his other friend separated from Kai and Suho, they were about to sit down when Jaehyun spoke.

“Hyung!”

The two males looked at him, the tall one smiled back at him.

Don’t come over.

Don’t come over.

Don’t come over.

And then her brother stood up from his seat as soon as the two newcomers reached them.

“Oh, Chanyeol hyung!”

“Lucas, you really did show up.” The tall one said with familiarity and shook her brother’s hand, Alessa tried to shift to the other side.

Go away.

Go away.

Go away.

“Who’s this young lady? Your plus one?” The other male asked in a kind tone, Alessa’s eyes doubled in size.

I’m not here.

Alessa’s not here.

She’s not here!

“Ah, hyung, this is my sister.” Lucas patted her back, Alessandra winced, she bit her lip before standing up to face them.

“Jie, this is Jaehyun’s cousin, Chanyeol hyung and his friend, Baekhyun hyung.”

Okay, younger brothers are useless.

Chanyeol faced the female with a polite smile, he grew confused as she looked at them.

“This is my sister, Alessandra Wong.” Lucas ended his introduction, Chanyeol halted.

Why was her name familiar? Where has he heard it before?

“Ah, nice to meet you, Lucas’s older sister.” Baekhyun said as he stretched his palm to her, Alessa gave him a quick nod.

“You’re..a beauty.” He added with a chuckle, and still did not gain a reaction for her.

Chanyeol’s brows rose in amusement, her eyes left the two.

“Restroom.” She said in perfect Korean before stepping away from the two.

“Well, take that as a warning, hyung.” Jaaehyun chuckled as Baekhyun took his ignored hand back.

“Warning?” Chanyeol asked.

“My sister has a defect. She’s not human.” Lucas nodded solemnly as they sat down, Chanyeol took the empty seat beside Alessandra’s.

“What?” Baekhyun said as he ed his coat and sat down beside Jaehyun.

“What he’s saying is that Alessa noona’s a little different from other young ladies, she’s an ice princess.” Jaehyun said lightly, Lucas chuckled.

“In other words, don’t even try, Byun Baekhyun-ssi.” Jaehyun joked, Baekhyun rolled his eyes at him.

“But, don’t worry, she’ll warm up to you soon, hyung….I think.” Lucas added, Chanyeol tilted his head.

Her named sounded so familiar, he felt a little weirded out by it.

Where did I hear that name?

“Wait, she’s the one girl Kai couldn’t charm, right?” Baekhyun said excitedly.

“Yeah, that would be her, hyung.”

The WongShen dragon lady let out a huge sigh as she got inside the restroom. She had one palm pressed against her stomach as she checked her reflection, she chewed on her lower lip before leaning against the sink.

“What the hell.” She muttered under her breath as she brushed her hair away from her cheeks.

“It’s just the face. I just like the face. He might have a weird voice. He might sound like Spongebob or something.” She spoke to herself, she chewed on her lower lip.

“I probably wont meet him again after this. It’s just a wedding, and he’s just a guest. He knows Lucas, but who cares?” She said as she regained her composure and decided to step out of the restroom.

She made her way back to her seat and froze as soon as she realized who was sitting on the chair next to hers.

“Jie, it’s about to start.” Lucas urged her, Alessa swallowed and started to move towards them. She reached their row, the tall male stood up to let her pass. Alessandra she chewed on the insides of her cheeks as she sat down and placed her purse on her lap.

Don’t sit here.

Go away.

Go sit somewhere else.

The male sat down on the chair again and turned his body towards her.

“I didn’t get to introduce myself properly earlier, I’m Park Chanyeol.” He said in this deep and soothing voice.

Seriously, Spongebob?

She turned her head to him, and was caught off guard by realizing that he smelled nice.

“Ah, yes.” She said without taking his offered hand, Alessa puffed her cheeks while staring at her nail beds, she finally looked up, and kept her gaze on the platform before them.

Chanyeol blinked at her, Baekhyun caught his gaze and his friend grinned at him, clearly seeing how his introduction went. He shrugged back at him and faced the platform with an eager smile.

Alessa relaxed slightly as soon as his gaze was off her, she leaned back on her seat and started to count in Mandarin, backwards.

I want to go home.
