Suho had been steering the boat into the direction of they came from, but was greatly displeased when he looked at the amount of fuel they had left. “Come on, just a little more…” he bit his lip as he looked around the people who occupied the chairs on either side of the vehicle.

Everyone had clamed down, but anger, fear and pride were still highly evident on their faces. Suho sighed as he made the boat go faster, hoping they had enough fuel for the rest of the trip.

“.” He exclaimed as the boat went into a sudden stop. “What do you mean ‘’?” Kris said as he eyed the panicking boy across the control panel. “Your boat is out of fuel.” Suho gave a bitter smile towards Kris’ direction, throwing back the coldness of his voice.

“Oh, great. Just what we needed.” Luhan said as he slouched into his seat, keeping close to a quiet Sehun as he did. “That was full tank when we got here!” Kris said, making sure his voice wasn’t that loud. “How the would I know?” Suho shrugged, trying his best to start the boat again.

Kris’ rubbed his eyelids and walked towards Suho, examining the panel as he did. “Well, looks like we’re out of fuel.” He said as his eyes reached the fuel monitor. “I already sai- Oh whatever.” He waved a hand and up Kris’ stubbornness.

“Tao, call Vic for me.” Kris said as he threw his phone into Tao’s direction. Tao could only look at the phone resting in his hands, eyebrows furrowing at its sight. “You do it.”

Silence filled the boat as everyone turned his or her attention to Tao. “…Tao?” Yixing said as he looked at the angry looking boy. “Tao, are you alright?” Tao wasn’t the person to disobey Kris when he was asked to do something for him. If Kris wanted something, Tao immediately gave it to him.

“I said, you do it.” He was looking at Kris now, their exchange of glares deepening the tension inside the boat. “Hahaha, alright ok haha I’ll do it.” Jongin said as he grabbed the black mobile from Tao’s hands and quickly dialed the helper’s number.

Even after the deed was done, Kris and Tao couldn’t help but exchange glares as Kris took the chair across the intimidating looking boy. For half an hour, they sat there, looking like they were probably arguing through telepathy. “He said he’ll be here asap.” Jongin said as he put down the phone and threw it into Kris’ direction.

When he looked like he wasn’t going to catch it, Jongdae (who was beside him) bent down and tried his best to cushion the expensive looking phone’s fall. “What the hell is wrong with you!” Jongdae said as he placed the phone beside Kris, him not bothering to look at all.

Jongdae rolled his eyes and scooted farther away from the boy, leaning against an uncomfortable Minseok. “Hey, what’s wrong with them?” Minseok whispered into Luhan’s ear, trying his best to keep his voice quiet enough for the two not to hear. “Tao never usually disobeys Kris. I don’t know what exactly is happening, but it’s just a lover’s spat. They’ll get over it.”

Luhan turned to a trembling Sehun, worry arching his eyes. “Hey, are you alright? You’ve been really quiet lately and-“

“Leave me alone.” Sehun said in a crisp, manly voice as he put his legs to his chest and rested his head on top of his knees. Luhan could only draw back the hand he had around Sehun, feeling betrayed and annoyed at Sehun’s small tantrum. “Kris was right, you’re acting like a big baby.” Luhan said as he stood up and walked to sit on the other side of the cluster of chairs.

The awkward atmosphere on the boat grew thicker, and Kyungsoo could feel like it was heavy enough to probably sink their ship. Jongin had his arm around Kyungsoo the whole time, making sure there was no space in between them. “Jongin… Everyone’s getting mad at each other.” Kyungsoo said from under his breathe, making sure only Jongin could hear.

“Yeah, everyone is.” Jongin eyed all the boys, eyes furrowing at the unpleasant sight. “Whatever, they’ll get over this eventually.” He sighed as he brought Kyungsoo closer. He didn’t want to end up like them and made sure he said nothing wrong so that the sensitive Kyungsoo wouldn’t dare leave his side.

Suho was biting his nails, a habit he still hasn’t gotten over when he was bored. “God, when is that guy coming?” Suho said exasperated as he leaned against the driver’s chair in front of the boat’s control panel.

When he got no reply, he shrugged and closed his eyes, hoping he could get some sleep before they were rescued.

When Baekhyun had finally managed to quiet down, he had fallen asleep. Chanyeol noticed this and felt himself smile, placing Baekhyun down on the bed. He stared at Baekhyun’s now dry self, and completely forgot about the dampness of Baekhyun’s clothes. He immediately sprung up and rummaged through the closet, hoping he’d be able to find some clothes.

When he found a white long-sleeved shirt and black pants probably way to big for Baekhyun’s small body and placed it at the side of the bed. He watched the boy sleep and wondered what he should do.

If I wake him up, wouldn’t that be bad? I mean, he’s sleeping so soundly that it would waste his sleep. Also, he might get mad. Also, it’d be rude. But if I didn’t wake him up, he might catch a cold in these uncomfortable clothes. W-what should I do?

Chanyeol was pacing in front of the bed, his hands was running through his hair as he hoped for an explanation. “Ok, Park Chanyeol, get a grip. You’re going to do this because you care about Baekhyun. You are not a . You are just helping Baekhyun change his clothes. Alright.”

He walked over to Baekhyun, hands outstretched for the over-sized sweater. He started lifting it up, along with Baekhyun’s head, and managed to get his small head from the over-sized whole that made way for his neck. Chanyeol sighed in relief as Baekhyun only squirmed in the contact. He then proceeded for the black pajama top, ing it with shaky hands.

To his dismay, the door opened from behind him as the boy who stood their gasped. Luhan looked at Chanyeol in disgust, staring him to down like he was the worst scum in the world. “Baek’s already sick, what the are you doing?!” The rest of the boys had gathered at the front of the door, giving off the same expressions as Luhan.

“I didn’t, I-I was just, no, you guys! You’re misunderstanding!” Chanyeol said as he quickly jerked his hands from halfway ing Baekhyun’s shirt. “God, Park Chanyeol. I know you like Baekhyun and all, but this is too much.” YIxing was shaking his head in disapproval as glanced the unconscious Baekhyun.

“I said, you guys are mistaken!”

------------

They had arrived at shore in a bigger and wider yacht and felt relief shower them when they saw land. “Oh my God, I missd you so much.” Jongdae said as he sprinted into the sand and landed face down. The other’s couldn’t help but agree with the boy’s statement, acting like it’s been years since they’ve stepped on the rich floor of the earth.

Kris and Tao had quietly gotten off the boat and headed in separate ways, still not saying anything as they did. Luhan was ignoring Sehun, who couldn’t care less if he was being ignored. Suho was messing up his hair at the sight of the boys, feeling kind of protective over them.

“Alright everyone, get back to your rooms and get some rest. It’s 3 am and we’re all pretty tired over what just happened. I’m going to check if all of you are in your rooms and sleeping. If I see any of missing, I’m going to file an immediate search party, alright?”

All the boys nodded in unison and headed back to their rooms. Suho felt accomplished, and walked back to his room as well. He found Yixing walking along side of him and looked up. “What are you, our mom?” He said with a smile. “Shut up, I just don’t want anything like this to happen again.” He said as he jerked his elbow into Yixing’s arm. “Alright, whatever you say.” They walked in silence towards their room, smiles spread across their faces.

Tao and Kris were both walking to the room, but in different ways. Kris had walked up to the villa’s main entrance and Tao had walked through the kitchen’s back door. When they ultimately met each other in the hallway, they didn’t make eye contact and entered the room.

Luhan was already lying on the bed as Sehun went into the bathroom. Luhan was on his side facing the window, ignoring Sehun as he crawled up to the bed beside him and turned the light off. Luhan shut his eyes as the room went dark, knowing that this isn’t going to be easy to fix.

Kyungsoo and Jongin made their way back to the room, their hands playfully swinging as they did. “We look so lame.” Jongin said as he stared at the smaller boy. “Nope, you look lame.” He bore his teeth, causing Jongin to smile back. They opened the door and slept in their respective beds since Suho said he’d check up on everybody.

-------------

Chanyeol was carrying a sleeping Baekhyun off the boat bridal style, still getting degrading looks from the boys who walked back to their rooms. He rolled his eyes as Luhan said “Don’t try anything fishy, okay” from beside him. He walked up the villa and entered the room. He laid Baekhyun on the neater bed, as he already messed up his bed from the night before.

Luhan was the one who changed Baekhyun’s clothes, so now Baekhyun wore the set of clothes he found at the boat. They were Kris’, and they looked a bit too big around him. Kris was the tallest amongst them and Baekhyun was one of the smallest.

He ruffled his hair and went to his own bed, leaning against the bed frame and letting his long limbs stretch out on the white comforter. As he did so, he felt stining pain and only realized he swam deep enough to let his legs go sore. He went under the covers and replayed Baekhyun’s words in his mind, lulling him to sleep. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.

Suho had changed into his nightclothes and was walking towards every room, flashlight in hand. He went to the last room of the corridor and creaked the door open. The lights were off, so he decided to enter since he really wanted to check if they were in the beds.

When he saw both Kyungsoo and Jongin in their respective beds, he sighed as he realized they were awfully clingy back in the boat. Fine, I wont come in between you anymore. He smiled at the sight and slowly crept out of the room, closing the door lightly and walked towards the next door.

He sighed and stared at the door, knowing Tao and Kris were the occupants of the room. He slowly opened the door and when he saw the lights off, he felt like the two weren’t in the room. He cautiously stepped in, seeing both boys in their beds. He sighed heavily and walked out of the room, not before flashing his flashlight straight at Kris’ face, causing the older boy to flinch.

He walked towards the next room. Park Chanyeol and Byun Baekhyun. He shrugged and avoided the room, knowing for the fact that they’d be in there. The last thing he wanted to do was disturb Baekhyun’s sleep and walked to the other room.

He lightly pushed the door and saw that it was pitch black, same for the other rooms. He crept up against the wall and saw that Luhan and Sehun both had their backs turned from each other. He knew that these two each other, but the boat incident had brought them apart. Love , and you wont get anything out of it. He slowly went back to the door, flashlight clutched close to his chest.

He headed for Minseok and Jongdae’s room, surprised as the boys were rowdily playing with the ps3 that came from the cabinet. “Oh, Prez! Look! There was a ps3 in here and the games are phenomenal!” Jongdae said, mouth full of chips. Suho felt his eyes twitch at the sight of the loud boys, still unable to take that fact that this was his secretary and treasurer.

“Both of you, bed, now.” Suho said with conviction. Jongdae swallowed the chips in his mouth as Minseok turned off the ps3 and headed for the bed. Suho was massaged his temples and headed for the door, closing the lights as he did.

He walked back to his room. Maybe the MK aren’t that bad after all?
