Dinner was silent and tense, Kyungsoo kept his eyes trained on his plate as his aunt continued to talk about her day as if she didn't notice Kris' death glare or Kyungsoo's quivering hands. Kyungsoo stood up as he finished eating excusing himself hurriedly.

"I have some work to finish," he lied, his aunt nodded and he rushed out praying that the footsteps behind him were a maid's and not-

"Kris!"

Kyungsoo flinched as he was rammed into the wall inside his room, pain shot up his back and he bit his lower lip to hold in the whimper making its way up his throat. Kris' finger's tightened around Kyungsoo's collar,

"So you're the one who's bent on ruining my life,"

Kyungsoo's eyes widened as he shook his head fearfully,

"W-what? No, I don't-"

Words rushed out of his mouth as he tried to explain himself. He fell silent when Kris's fist slammed into the wall right beside his head, narrowly missing his left cheek.

"Don't speak, your voice disgusts me."

Kyungsoo felt his eyes sting and he lowered them, Kris' eyes dropped to Kyungsoo's nametag.

"Do Kyungsoo," Kyungsoo shivered,

"I'm going to make you regret accepting this engagement, I will never love someone as pathetic as you."

He released his hold on Kyungsoo and slammed the door shut behind him. Kyungsoo felt a tear slide down his cheek and he placed a hand over his thundering heart, he tried to take a deep breath to calm it but ended up bursting into tears instead. Kris stood outside Kyungsoo room until he heard the sound of his sobs subside, he gave himself a mental pat on the back. His message went through the other boy perfectly.

-

Kris exited his room ignoring Kyungsoo who was just closing his door, he walked past him but stopped when he felt the boy tug at his sleeve. He glared over his shoulder and Kyungsoo recoiled releasing his sleeve quickly, a piece of paper was into his face. He read it before scoffing,

"Oh so now you don't want to marry me?" he turned around fully to face Kyungsoo who immediately took a step back threatened,

"You want me to tell my mother to break off the agreement?" Kyungsoo nodded slowly, Kris smirked.

"This is not a game. You were the one who agreed to it thoughtlessly and now you want out? Breaking off the engagement means I'll be giving you exactly what you want and it's time you learned that you can't always get what you want Kyungsoo,"

Another paper was held out, Kris ignored it feeling a burst of irritation shoot through his body,

"Why the hell aren't you speaking?" he asked, Kyungsoo opened his mouth before snapping it shut and writing something down quickly.

Kris looked at the paper and suddenly his chest felt tight,

'Because you said my voice disgusts you'

He mentally shook his head, shaking off the guilty feeling.

"Well you acting mute isn't any better," he said crossing his arms in front of him.

"Do Kyungsoo, the engagement is still on so don't you try get out of it. You started this but I'll be the one to end it, understand?"

Kyungsoo nodded not knowing that Kris had no power over the engagement as well,

"I understand," he corrected himself softly,

"Good," Kris turned and walked away.

-

"Wahhh, Soo!! Seriously how are we supposed to eat all of this alone?" Baekhyun said eyes darting around the various containers set out in front of him. Kyungsoo smiled,

"I was in a cooking mood last night," he said and he wasn't exactly lying, whenever he was stressed out or nervous his first instinct was always to cook. His best friend's eyes locked onto his and Kyungsoo felt himself break into a sweat,

"Is every-"

"Cuties!!" Minseok landed on Kyungsoo today who was more than thankful for his intrusion,

"Oh Minseok Sunbae!" he greeted with such enthusiasm it startled both Baekhyun and Minseok.

"Please eat with us today I've made more than enough,"

"Really?" Kyungsoo smiled sweetly and nodded, Minseok let out a happy cheer and glued himself to Kyungsoo's side.

"Junmyeon hyung, help yourself," he told the senior who just arrived, Baekhyun and Minseok looked at Kyungsoo,

"Hyung?" Baekhyun question as Minseok started tugging on Kyungsoo's sleeve for attention.

"Me too, me too! I want to be called hyung by Kyungsoo!"

"Minseok.. hyung,"

Minseok squealed,

"I've made dumplings especially for you they're in the yellow container,"

Junmyeon and Kyungsoo shared a smile over Minseok's head as the boy grabbed the container happily.

"Mind if we join the party?"

Kyungsoo's smile slipped, Kris sat down without waiting for an answer his other three friends followed. Baekhyun's eyes narrowed,

"No one invi-"

"Sure," Kyungsoo answered cutting Baekhyun off when Kris shot him a pointed look,

"But Soo, he was-" Baekhyun fell silent when Kyungsoo placed a hand on his knee squeezing it gently,

"We can't finish all this food by ourselves hyung," he said softly before turning to the others,

"Please help yourselves,"

"Fine," Baekhyun grabbed a pair of chopsticks and separated them with more force than necessary as he glared at Kris.

Kyungsoo shuffled closer as Baekhyun picked up a kimbap and placed it in Kyungsoo's waiting mouth. He chewed it slowly ignoring the stare he felt on him, Junmyeon however didn't.

The Student Council President immediately noticed the look Kris was giving Kyungsoo and how the younger boy was trying his best to avoid looking in Kris' direction. He observed the way the basketball player's eyes darted from Kyungsoo's hand on Baekhyun's knee to the boy's face. It wasn't until Yixing let out a delighted cry that Kris tore his eyes away from Kyungsoo,

"Where did you buy this?" Yixing asked Kyungsoo as he took another Spicy Chicken cube, Baekhyun rolled his eyes.

"Kyungie rarely buys food, he always cooks his own lunches."

Yixing's brows furrowed and he urged Tao to taste one, Tao took one bite before grabbing the whole container. Yixing tried to pry it away from him while questioning Kyungsoo, 

"Did you really make it? How did you cook it? Even my mother has a hard time making it," Kyungsoo shrugged,

"I just followed a recipe from my aunt's cook book," he said, Tao froze.

"It's the first time you made this?" he asked amazed when Kyungsoo nodded.

"Wow, Yixing-ge was just talking about how he would love to have this two days ago,"

"The ones they sell at the market are really bad and aren't spicy enough," Yixing complained as he scanned all the other dishes.

"You sure you're not a cooking prodigy?" Chanyeol asked making Kyungsoo laugh lightly and shake his head bashfully,

"If you really like it I can make some more next week-"

"Also boazis!" Minseok chirped, Kyungsoo nodded smiling at him softly.

"Tao-shi, would you like anything specific?" he asked shocking the boy,

"M-me?" he asked not quite believing it.

"Of course I still haven't repaid you for helping me in the cafeteria the other day,"

"Umm, instead of food can it be something else?" he asked, Baekhyun's eyes narrowed along with Kris'.

Tao started to fidget nervously,

"I-um, you- the song-" Chanyeol and Yixing mentally facepalmed at Tao's stuttering while Kyungsoo looked confused. Yixing took pity on him,

"I think what Tao is trying to say is can he have a copy of the song you were playing on the piano last week before school?" Kyungsoo blinked,

"The song I was playing?"

Tao nodded rubbing the back of his neck in an embarrassed manner,

"Sure but I don't see why you would want it, it's not even a published song just something I made up..." Kyungsoo answered equally embarrassed at the confession.

Yixing's and Tao's eyes lit up for different reasons,

"You write?" Yixing asked, Chanyeol groaned.

"Here we go again," he muttered as Yixing move closer to Kyungsoo to talk about music. By the end of lunch the two had traded numbers and had agreed to meet up on Monday before school. The bell rang and they all got up full, Tao groaned.

"I have to put an extra hour into practice today to burn off all these calories," Chanyeol chuckled,

"Me too man, me too."

The two started walking to the sports building but stopped when they realised Kris wasn't there.

"Ey, Kris! You coming?"

"Go on first, I have to tell Kyungsoo something," the two nodded and Kris turned to the nervous Kyungsoo.

"My mother said I have to drive you home today so wait for me by the outdoor basketball courts,"

Kyungsoo nodded, Baekhyun grabbed his arm as soon as Kris left,

"Why would his mum ask him to drive you home?"

Kyungsoo smiled sheepishly,

"It's quite funny actually hyung, Kris-shi is actually my aunt's son. The room across mine is his,"

Kyungsoo's words were followed by silence before Baekhyun was throttling him.

"You only tell me you live with Satan now!"

-

Kyungsoo made his way past the dance studios, he played with the ends of his bag straps nervously. He didn't notice a door swing open until it almost slammed into his face. The boy behind the door apologised then took a good look at Kyungsoo's face.

"Did I hit you?" he asked surprising Kyungsoo at how deep his voice was, Kyungsoo shook his head and side stepped the boy about to continue walking when the boy grabbed his arm.

"Are you sure? You look a bit dazed,"

"I'm fine," Kyungsoo said forcing out a smile, the boy looked hesitant but released Kyungsoo and nodded.

"Be careful on your way home," he said concerned, Kyungsoo's smile became sincere at the genuine worry.

"I will. Thank you,"

By the time Kyungsoo reached the courts most of the players had already left, he waved at Chanyeol who said something to Kris, the taller turned to look at Kyungsoo stopping him in his tracks. He nodded at Chanyeol before picking up his duffle bag and walking over to Kyungsoo.

"Follow me," he said coldly, Kyungsoo trailed after him obediently, they got into Kris' car just as Kyungsoo's phone rang.

He answered it smiling as he did so, the person on the other end was loud but even so Kris couldn't catch anything he said. Kyungsoo let out a small laugh as Kris started the engine.

"Really, hyung?" another laugh,

"What time does your flight leave? Five minutes?! Are you crazy? Shut your phone, we'll hang out tomorrow!"

Kyungsoo hung up shaking his head. His phone rang again and he answered it but before he could scold the person he was cut off-

'Love you, Soo,'

Kyungsoo's eyes darted to Kris and judging by his raised eyebrow this time he heard everything perfectly.

"Okay, bye!" Kyungsoo hung up again and stuffed his phone into his bag. The rest of the ride home was filled with silence.

-

Kyungsoo thanked Kris before running into the house and straight into the dining room where his aunt was,

"Ah, you're right on time for dinner. Sit down dear," Kyungsoo took the seat to her left and when Kris joined them seconds later he took the seat opposite to Kyungsoo's.

"You boys have to wake up early tomorrow," she informed them as she piled some food onto Kyungsoo's plate, Kris groaned he was looking forward to sleeping in.

"Why?" he questioned taking his own food.

"To pick up your brother of course," she said, Kris scowled.

"Can't a driver-" he closed his mouth when his mother's eyes narrowed at him.

"You're picking him up 10 am, Terminal 2," she said leaving no room for argument, Kris pushed his plate away then left.

"Ah, why did my children have to be such drama queens?" his aunt said unaffected by her son's actions.

"I could go get Luhan-shi alone," Kyungsoo offered, his aunt shook her head.

"No Yifan needs to know he can't always have what he wants,"

Kyungsoo's hands stilled at the familiar words. He resisted the urge to shiver as he remembered the hate in Kris' eyes when he said the same thing to Kyungsoo. He just hoped Luhan was nothing like Kris, he didn't need another enemy in the house. Kyungsoo picked at his food quietly before an idea struck him.

"Imo," he's aunt looked at him, "What food does Luhan-shi like?"
