*Should I call her? Or wait for her to calm down?* Your troubled thoughts kept you awake, as the rest of the boys had went into their separate rooms and turned in for the night. You sighed, and turned in the comfortable, warm bed. *Can't sleep...*

You closed your eyes, and steadied your breathing and focused on the clicks coming from the ceiling fan. Soon, you fell asleep as the clicks droned on and on making you close your eyes drowsily, succumbing to your dreadful dreams of the fight with your sister.

A knock against your new bedroom's door startled you from your sleep, and you sat up slowly. *Did jie jie come back from China already?* Your dazed mind thought casually, and you sat up with your eyes shut closed, whilst yawning.

"Come in..." You called softly, your voice hoarse and scratchy. The door opened with a low squeak, as your sister stepped in. You climbed out of the bed, and neared her, opening your eyes with an inch. "Jie jie..."

You tip-toed to hug your sister. Had she grown taller? She wasn't as tall as this before. "I missed you." You mumbled, and buried your head in your sister's chest. Why wasn't she answering? And why was her chest so hard? It feels nice...

You tightened your arms around the person's neck and inhaled their scent. It smelled like mint and crushed pine needles. It definitely wasn't your sister, but they felt so familiar that you just didn't care.

"Uh...Ahra?" A recognizable, deep, light voice whispered in your ear. "Can you let go of me?"

Your eyes popped open and you looked up at the person. Suho. Your hand flew up to your mouth and you cupped it as your eyes widened in shock. "S-suho..I'm so-"

He gave you a warm smile, and reached up to your cheek with his thumb. He gazed into your eyes while you stared at him with embarrassment evident on your red face, and he chuckled then ruffled your hair. "It's alright, get dressed. D.O. made breakfast for you."

Your eyebrows furrowed. He cocked his head to the side, and stared at you confusedly. "Ahra? Are you alright?" He asked.

What am I doing here? You thought with a panicky, fast breathing starting up in your chest. Did I do something wrong last night? And my shoulder is hurting really badly..

Suho, who didn't know what you were thinking, was growing worried. Your face had paled, and your eyes had unfocused while your nails dug into his shoulders. But he didn't really notice it. All he was focused on was your nervous, unsteady breathing. Maybe she's having a breakdown. He thought. He had seen the way your eyes had flitted around the room too quickly for a steadily calm person.

"Ahra."

You snapped out of your thoughts and yesterday had come flying into you. You relaxed, and sighed internally. Now he's going to think I'm super messed up, if he hadn't thought so when he found out I was visually jacked up.

"I'm sorry," You apologized, and rubbed your pink cheeks. "I was just out of it a little."

Suho nodded, but a hint of concern was still on his face. "Okay, just call us if you need anything." He gave you a quick kiss on the forehead and exited your room, shutting the door behind him with a soft click. You stared at the spot where he had stood and felt your body burning up. Did he just...

You slapped your cheeks lightly, and ignored the wishy-washy feeling running up your body. You entered the bathroom and washed up and got dressed whilst thinking deeply about the argument with your sister, and what Suho had just done.

You couldn't say you didn't like it, when in truth your heart was doing jumping jacks, your mind was exploding with colorful fireworks, and your stomach was doing somersaults. God, his lips were so soft, I really need to calm down! Oh my sheezus, I'm going to die from all these thoughts!

You threw your backpack over your shoulder, and slid your custom-made glasses on. They were created to block out any sharp, bright lights that could do harm to your eyes and was ordered by your older sister. You had half a mind to put them away somewhere because basically everything you had reminded you of your sister. You never went shopping unless your sister was there. Never.

You exited your room and jogged down the stairs with fast, light footsteps. You stopped, and felt yourself swaying from the quick movements so early in the morning, and your eyes were covered in white for awhile, which had given you a massive headache. Great way to start off the morning.

"Alright there, beautiful?" A light voice asked from behind you.

You whirled around, and accidently hit the shoulder of the person and unbalanced.
