You couldn’t help but notice how uneasy the boys got. The succeeding days were filled with murmurs and weary eyes only directed to you, Seri, and Draco. It brought you back to the day when BAP once hunted you. It’s like being under the microscope except you didn’t take it seriously.

“Seri-ah, don’t you think the guys are acting weird?” you asked over breakfast while they all roamed the yard.

“Yup! And it’s pissing me off! Aish!” she scowled while sitting across you.

“Wae?” you ate.

“Coz it’s worse for me! They’re beyond weird at school!” she chewed hard on a piece of sausage.

You reached out and rubbed her arm. “Just be patient, okay? I’m sure they have their reasons.”

“I know unnie! But why can’t they tell us?” she hissed.

You lowered your chopsticks and crossed your hands on the table. “I told you sis… They have their reasons. Let’s just mind our own business…” she sighed.

Then the door opened and came the entire brigade. Some went to the living room, others to their rooms, and the remaining to the dining room.

“Good morning my beautiful sisters!!!” Sehun greeted and sat beside you.

“It will only be good if you tell us why everyone is acting as if we’re getting kidnapped all over again!!!” Seri sneered.

“Huh? No we’re not!” Daehyun scratched his head.

Seri dropped her shoulders and gave up. ‘I shouldn’t have asked!’

“Anyway! Are you ready for school?” you asked Zelo who sat beside Seri.

“Mhmmm!” he clapped and placed an arm around her shoulder. “Ready to bounce, sweetie?”

Seri delivered a quick elbow on his gut. “OW!!!” he grunted and clutched the stinging spot.

“You should learn not to hit on a girl first thing in the morning!” Youngjae stuck his tongue out to him.

“I’ll take note of that…” BAP’s maknae dropped his head on the table, curling in pain. “Apa~”

Seri gulped and shot you a worried look. “Eotteokke?” she mouthed, you shrugged.

She ended up biting her lip and held Zelo’s face with both hands. “M-Miahnae Zelo-ah… Did I hit you really hard?”

He nodded with an adorable pout.

“Someone’s faking it…” you hummed in Daehyun’s ear.

“And about to get hit again…” he snickered, you snorted.

“I think I need a kiss…” Zelo puckered his lips with eyes shut.

Seri leaned his head back and raised an eyebrow. “WHY YOU LITTLE…” she aimed a slap on his face.

Zelo’s eyes bulged. ‘Oh !’

*SMACK!!!*

The door flung wide open.

All your attention went directly to it. There you saw Lay walking in, with a face contorted in an all consuming anger.

Those in the living room where intrigued and stood, while you, Seri, and the boys remained seated but concerned.

As Lay move further away from the door, your eyes rounded in shock when you knew he was not alone. He was dragging what appears to be a person on his back against the floor, and was hardly recognizable as his head was completely covered by a hood. He neither struggled nor fought back. Whatever Lay did, the person was left defeated in his hands.

Then it happened. Every boy that surrounded you snapped. Even those at the living room and upstairs scrambled towards Lay.

Zelo and Daehyun stood in fighting stance protecting Seri.

“Wh-what’s going on?” she cowered behind the maknae.

Your brother, together with Youngjae ended up in front of you as well. “What the is going on???” you snarled.

“We’ll explain later…” Sehun replied.

“No! I wanna know… NOW!!!” you pushed them aside but Youngjae held you back and restrained you by the waist. “Let go! Who the is that???”

Luhan ran up to you and held your face. “Babe, listen to me…” you relaxed. “That person has been following us for the past week and we’ve been hunting him down.”

“What? Why? Why would he do that?” your rage turned to curiosity.

“That’s we’re about to find out…”

“Draco… Where’s our baby?” you worried.

“He’s okay… He’s with Kai, DO, and Baekhyun.” he tuck strands of hair behind your ear. “Draco is safe…” you blew out an air.

Luhan pressed your head on his chest and hugged you protectively.

After taking a peek on his side, you saw the leaders stood in front of Lay, who later pushed the culprit on the floor.

Kris dropped his angelic image and turned ferocious. “Who are you? What do you want?”

However, no response was given. The culprit remained kneeling with hands planted on the floor, and kept his head down.

Yongguk was no longer the joker when he also turned vicious. “Ya! We don’t have all the time in the world! Answer the ing question! WHO THE ARE YOU???” he growled.

Seri winced at his voice and Zelo turned to cover her ears. “It’s okay…” he mouthed, she smiled.

Silence was the only reply they got. Those who remained in the living room started moving in, cracking their knuckles.

“We’re not the most dangerous people in this planet but I suggest you start talking.” Suho threatened.

Due to his soft yet deadly warning, they finally got what they wanted. He slowly stood yet kept his head down.

Everyone braced. They all took their fighting stance and Luhan tightened his grasp.

With every move he made, they thought of ways how to attack. and being trained as fighters, that was never a problem.

‘Tch! It’s been a while but I can definitely use some practice!’ Himchan cocked his head from side to side.

‘Oh how I miss playing with my toy!’ Tao smirked while holding a long stick hidden behind his back.

The person hiding underneath a hood slowly raised his hand and reached up to removed his covering.

Then they gasped.

“HOLY !!!” Chanyeol shoved them aside and stood in front of the silent lurker.

It was a girl. Long black hair, as tall as Sehun, almost the same age as him, stunningly pretty. “Annyeong! I’m Krystal!” and perky. She waved with the biggest grin on her face.

Tao dropped his stick, Himchan dropped his jaw.

“You gotta be ting me right?” Kris raged. “After all this time, it was you?” then glared at Lay. “YA! Which playpen did you get this little brat? Are you sure this is the person we’ve been looking for???”

“N-Neh!!!” Lay took another look and back at him. “I was on my way back from the bakeshop and voila! I saw him… I mean, her, hiding behind the dumpster outside!”

From the anger and irritation fueling his rage, Kris unknowingly grabbed her jaw with one hand and squeezed her cheeks. “What the hell were you doing in the middle of the night, snooping around, spying at other people’s privacy? HUH???”

Krystal choked and feared for her life so Suho stepped in and held Kris’ wrist. “Bro, relax. Let’s hear what she has to say…” he then faced her. “Talk!” he sneered.

“Errmmm…” she dusted herself and fixed her hair. “Ehem!” she blew out an air. “Again, my name is Krystal! I’m new in this area, and I just wanted to know what kind of neighbors you are…” she beamed and reached out a hand to Kris. “Nice to meet you!”

Yongguk left and passed her, shoving her hand on the way. Kris also did the same, even leaving a disgusted stare at her.

The only one left to entertain her was Lay and Sehun who took the liberty of introducing himself. “I’m sorry about that. You got my hyungs worked up after you kept spying on us. They hate it, y’know? I’m Sehun by the way!”

“I understand! It was my fault anyway!” she smiled coyly and scratched her nape. “I should’ve knocked and did it properly instead.”

“Common sense is the perfect word! I’m Lay!” the healer nodded.

“Seri-ah! Noona! Over here for a sec!” Sehun called.

You and Seri walked with Luhan and Zelo, and joined them. “They are my sisters.”

“Hi! I’m Sehee!” you smiled.

“I’m Seri! Wassup?!” she nodded.

“OMG! Nice to meet you!” she clapped. “I’m looking forward to spend more time with you!” she suddenly lunged on you both for a hug.

Your eyes bulged at Seri who replied with a scrunched face. “Ewwww!” she mouthed.

As you break apart, you instantly faked a smile. “I don’t think I have the time. I’m kinda busy around here…”

“I don’t mind at all.” she bragged.

“Oh! Ehehehe~” you grinned.

“Sehun-ah!” Kris shouted from nowhere. “Take her out of here! We have a long day ahead!” he added.

“Well… I’m afraid you can’t stay longer…” your brother said regretfully.

“It’s okay… I can drop by later…” she eye smiled, and caught a glimpse of the person standing beside you.

It’s as if she saw a god right before her with the way her eyes sparkled. She was noticeably blushing, that even her ears turned red.

“Hi! I’m Krystal! And you are?” she reached out her hand again.

You shook her hand and gave a stern warning. “He’s Luhan! My husband and the father of the boy around here!”

Seri snorted and covered . Sehun also slapped his forehead.

“He-Hello Luhan!” Krystal stammered still keeping her eyes on him.

That’s when you shot a stare at Lay and Sehun. “Get her out of here!” you mouthed.

“Yup! Before a catfight goes off!” Seri murmured, and Zelo snorted.

Lay cleared his throat. “Ermmm… Krystal? I think you should go…”

She snapped back to reality. “Oh right! See you around LuLu…” and stepped out.

“Someone’s about to blow her top off… Kekeke~” Seri snickered. “In 3, 2, and…1!”

“LULU??? What the hell?” your nostrils started flaring, and hands curling into fists while staring at the door. “LULU??? I.AM.THE.ONLY.ONE.WHO.CAN.CALL.YOU…..LULU!!!” you roared.

“Okay babe! I hear you!” Luhan made you face him. “We all know that! I’m your LuLu!” he then hugged you. “Aigooo~”

Luhan couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of you being pissed after such a long time. ‘So cute getting jealous like that!’ he kissed your head. ‘I just love this girl to death!’

The rest of Exo-K came to their room and laughed hard. That’s what all they could do upon knowing that they’ve been stressing themselves for nothing.

“Second rule of survival...don't make assumptions!” Chanyeol elbowed Suho. “Pwahahaha~”

“Dude! Don’t rub it in! Aish!” he smacked a pillow to the laughing virus beside him.

Kris came with Yongguk. “I still don’t trust her!” he said.

“Me too!” BAP’s leader added. “Something’s not right!”

“Ya! There you go again!” Sehun beckoned. “Stop being paranoid!”

“We’re not Sehun! This is serious!” Kris added.

Suho blew out an air. “For what it’s worth, let’s just be careful. Don’t show your abilities to her, especially you, Sehun!” he pointed a finger to their maknae, he agreed. “…and as much as possible don’t let her get near Draco. Remember, this is Earth, only Shin knows what we truly are!”

They all nodded.

“I’ll go tell my guys!” Yongguk left.

“Me too!” Kris did as well.
