A/N: sooo... I kinda removed the language and cultural barriers between EXO-M so yeah... Sometimes you're going to hear tao or anybody say "hyung" or use korean languages instead of 'gege' or 'meimei' since author-nim is not familiar with chinese culture... xD

Narrator's POV:

Out of the blue, somebody chuckled. "Hehehe..."

Everybody stared at the culprit, Lay.

"Why?!", his eyes rounded.

"No time for jokes...", Lu Han hissed.

"No... Deja Vu...", Lay smiled as he placed the rubiks cube on a table infront of him.

"D-de jav-- what?", the Tao who just trash-talked about Shen awhile ago blurted. *Yeah~ that's how he change in a minute*

"Deja vu... dumb maknae...", xiu min loosen his grip at Tao.

"Shut it! Lu Han's right.", Chen wiped the blood at the sides of his lips angrily.

I scratched my head in annoyance. I was about to apologize that time when Lay suddenly snatched the moment.

"Don't you guys get it...", Lay crossed his leg and sat on the couch like a lazy-king.

"... this already happened before.", he smiled with his dimples out and made all of us turn into a confusion.

He continued, "During our pre-debut, we were supposed to be practicing that time... but... I didn't attend because... I was tired... yeah i know, everybody was tired too after that 12-hour training we did the day before, and I was being selfish and unfair... But i came back 3 hours after... and yeah...", he chuckled and stared at the ground, "... Kris became angry and punched me right away when i entered the practice room..."

I felt embarassed, for it seems like I'm always the one who starts the punches.

"And Lu Han even made a long speech about being friends and we shouldn't be punching each other to solve a problem.", said Chen as it seems like he's cooling down after the tension.

 "Ah! Now i remember...", tao retorted.

"...The only difference is that xiu min hyung is the one who punched kris hyung back!", he added.

Y-yah! I'm innocent!...", xiu min defended his self. Tao just looked at him with a straight face.

"... Do i look like i can punch?", he puffed his cheeks like a kid.

*Eeew~*, tao, luhan, kris, lay, and chen thought at the same time.

"Hyung, you better stop doing that. You know, you're the eldest here.", Luhan commented.

"Look who's talking now... It's just the person who farted while Lay and Kris was fighting.", xiumin smirk.

There was a short silence...

Until...

Everybody in the room except Luhan bursted into a laughing mess. "Hahaha! And his face was like this when we caught him off guard!", Chen imitated luhan's face.

"Yeah! It was a bomb! A BOMB!!!", Lay rolled on the floor together with Tao laughing.

Kris laughed his heart out as well, the joy that once left his soul came back and filled every inch of him.

And everybody bursted again in another round of laughter.

"Yah yah yah! Stop laughing!", luhan shouted and they instantly stopped. They know luhan's ability to change from a cute and adorable deer into a mad and scary deer when angry. Even scarier than kris.

"H-hahaha. O-okay... I think we should change the topic...", Xiumin said as he felt luhan's scary stare at the corner of his eyes. "Y-yah! Kris! You better not do that again h-huh!", he continued.

"Aigoo aigoo~ we better cut this issue off. Here, catch.", Lay threw an apple for each member. "This is how we ended our fight before, right?", Lay smiled showing his dimples and took a bite from the apple.

The other members also smiled and ate it because they understood what the apple symbolizes to them.

"Btw, I'm sorry.", Kris said. "You know, I'm all covered with guilt right now after knowing that i always throw punches when I'm angry.", he joked and the others chuckled.

"I'm sorry too hyung.", Tao and Chen said in unison. And Kris sent an assuring smile.

"We shouldn't break our friendship just because of a matter that we didn't talked about clearly.", Lu Han said.

"I agree.", Chen nodded.

"And if we have a member who is in need of help...", Xiumin stated and took a quick glance at kris. "... We should be able to be there for him because...", he raised his hand at waist level and Kris, Tao, Lay, Chen, and Lu Han followed.

"We are ONE! EXO saranghaja!", exo-m chanted.

And that's when their manager came just in time. "Hey, did i missed something?", he placed his keys on the table.

"Ah nothing..."

"Nothing at all"

"None..."

"Hmp, nothing, why?"

"Eopseoyo (nothing) manager hyung"

"Nothin to worry hyung"

They replied and acted normally. Chen and Lay went back to watching the tv, Tao went inside his room, Luhan read his book again, xiumin joined lay and chen. Kris went to get a glass of water at the kitchen.

"Hmmm... Okay then. You better go to sleep now. It's already 12 midnight. You have an early interview tomorrow.", their manager commanded and they nodded.

Meanwhile, kris sighed in relief, knowing that his bandmates accepted his apology.

*A war just ended. I shall also end the misunderstandings happening between me and Shen.*, he thought and glanced up at the night sky from his room's terrace.

Stars glimmering.

On the other hand, Shen who has been stirring on her sleep sat up and glanced at her window and saw the same sky as Kris'.

*I don't like this feeling... I feel empty... *, the female thought and took the necklace lying on her side table. She doesn't even know and 'noticed' why she grabbed that necklace and grasped it with full  of emotions when she thought of 'being empty'.

At the same time, the male held his necklace once again. *clearing things up... Yes... That's it... Tomorrow... Tomorrow it is...*, he smiled.
