"Sehun-ah. Where do we need to go?" Kai asked confusedly. "What's wrong? Is it that important?"


"Somewhere. Yes it is," Sehun answered shortly. He kept walking hurriedly with one hand holding Kai's wrist. They turned into a hallway that only led to one room and Kai widened his eyes when he realized it.


"Sehun-ah! Are you going to sleep now?? You can return to your bedroom later if you're sleep-"
