Electric Heart - SHINee (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POtAsA-eKh8)   **I know this song won't match the mood at the beginning of the chapter, but once you get to the second part, it will. Hope you guys listen to the songs I put so that it can create a better mood! ^^**       ---------------------- Narrator’s P.O.V:     Two days passed since Chanyeol had given Naeun his advice. She was planning to confess to Baekhyun soon—maybe even this week—but she always seemed to chicken out.   But tonight… she just couldn’t bear to say it.   *Maybe tomorrow.* Naeun pondered over that thought while she ate her dessert. *Yeah… That doesn’t sound too bad.*   A few hours earlier, D.O had forced Xiumin to cook, as the eldest hyung. After a very bland (and not very tasty) dinner, everyone was currently eating dessert, which was a strawberry parfait that Baekhyun and Chanyeol had made.   Naeun was making faces as she took another spoonful of her parfait. *Okay. I’m gonna tell him tomorrow. I’m sure of it. But wait… does my confession have to be romantic or something? Usually, the guy confesses… Ack! Too embarrassing!* She accidentally opened , sending her spoon clattering on the floor. Her face was flushed as she slapped her hands over her tomato-red cheeks.   By now, everyone was staring at her. Naeun, however, didn’t notice. She was too buried in her thoughts.   “Mei-mei, what are you thinking of?” A voice asked in thick Korean.   “Hm?” She dejectedly drawled as she slowly lifted her head up to see Tao blinking at her. “Mei-mei…?” He frowned from under his jet black hair.   Naeun’s gaze softened and she shrunk from under the stares, “…Sorry. It’s nothing.”   Kris bent down and picked up her spoon. “Thanks.” She nodded and set it on the table. He gave her a confused look.   “I’ll go put this away.” She took her empty cup and spoon and was about to get up when Luhan shook his head, “No need. I’ll do it.” He waved his hand, and all of the empty dishes gathered into a pile and made their way into the sink.   Naeun blinked and slowly sat back down in awe. “That never gets old.” She attempted a feeble smile, but the twelve boys just kept staring at her.   “Naeun-ah, you seem… down, these days.” Suho sent her a sad look, “You don’t laugh as much as before. Are you honestly okay?”   Chen rested his head on his fists, “Yeah, the mood in this house seems tenser than ever.” He curiously met her eyes, “Is there a reason why?”   “Yeah, mei-mei!” Xiumin beamed recklessly, “We’re close enough to be called family! You can say anything to us. We won’t make fun!”   D.O shook his head, “We won’t.” He gestured to everyone except Xiumin, “You will.”   Xiumin glared at D.O and smiled at Naeun, “Kyungsoo’s just mad because he’s a little prim and proper housewife. You can trust me.”   D.O made a face, “A housewife? Psh.” Everyone chuckled. Naeun managed to crack a smile.   “So tell us, yeah?” Xiumin urged. Chen and Lay intently listened.   Naeun blinked, “U-Uhh…” *How the heck am I supposed to just blurt it out now?! I have to find some sort of excuse… Think, Naeun, think!* She fumbled over her words, “W-Well…”   Baekhyun furrowed his eyebrows in worry. *What’s got her so tongue-tied? I notice that she doesn’t even talk to me as much anymore…*   “Hyungs, don’t pick too much on Naeunnie! She feels pressured because of all the stares!” Sehun’s voice suddenly popped up.   “I see Naeun’s bodyguard has recently reclaimed his position.” She could almost see Kai rolling his eyes.   Naeun froze and stopped to stare. Sehun had been avoiding her these few days like the plague. Now, he had stood up for her, just like before…   *Sehun-ah…* She was surprised when he met her gaze. Sehun beamed, just like always, and gave her his signature eye-smile. Naeun softly smiled back, thankful for his gesture.   Baekhyun saw this exchange and his eyes hardened. Chanyeol stopped and worriedly glanced at him.   Luhan then caught Naeun’s attention, “It isn’t our place to pry it out of you, but when you’re ready to share, we’re all ears.” He gave her a sweet smile that any girl would melt over. Naeun nodded, “Thanks, Luhan oppa.” He nodded at her with a casual grin.   Kris wiggled his eyebrows, “Although you’re tightly bonded to EXO-K, don’t forget that you have EXO-M, too, araso?” Naeun laughed at his stra
