Minseok is not a difficult person, he is eassy to read. He is good mannered and likes respect, he respects and doesnt take any kind of bull. So yeah, whatever is driving Baekhyun is far away from his understanding. Why would he leak a story like that to the press. He cant be, they all struggle with the attacks to their privacy, it cant be.

He doesnt get involved in the drama that the group has with Baekhyun, he tries to do his best to treat him the same as he treats the rest, he tries not to judge, yes is hard, but he thinks that he has some responsabillity as the eldest member.

And just because in his world theres no place for injustice, just because in his world theres no place for complants against the world and its ways, he doesnt see how Yifan is looking at him. He never saw it, the gestures, the kindness, nothing. And is not that he doesnt think that Yifan is kind, is just that he never felt different. 

However, Yifan is watching him from afar, looking at him with those eyes, with that kind of look.

"Were you and Minseok hyung always close?", comes Baekhyuns voice.

"What?

"Have you and Luhan and Minseok hyung always so close? I mean, since you came from China?".No this is not happening, he wont let him.

Yifan grabs Baekhyun by one arm really hard and with all the strength he is has he pushes him outside to the emergency stairs.

"Listen to me very well. You dont mess with Minseok nor with Luhan. Whatever that head of yours is planning, ploting, thinking, whatever, stop it. I am not Joonmyeon, I dont feel any sympathy for your stupidity. What is wrong with you? Can you see it? Theres very few people in this band who wouldve give you chance, Minseok is one of them, dont screw it". Baekhyun holds his toungue, when Yifan leaves he can clearly see the fingers of the M leader on his arm.

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

"I dont know what happend...I really dont. At one moment I was just making a question and at the next he was shoving me out...", he says and rolls his sleave up. "He grabed me really hard...I dont know, he has never been like this, he is usually a calm person", he shakes his head and adds all the drama he can because Krystal is not there.

"Does any of the managers know?"

"Of course not! I...I dont want trouble, they already hate me. It would be worse if I go against their precious Kris hyung", he makes himself sound scare and he knows that hes made it when Taeyeon reaches to hold his hand. He gives her the sweetest smile that he can.

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

Joonmyeon has his head on his lap and Yifan is reading to him in english, to teach him. Joonmyeon listens as he plays with his co leaders fingers. The korean tries his best to translate what he listens and then tries to say the words he founds difficult. Kris thinks is the cutest things he has ever seing and it makes him chuckle.

"Dont tease hyunggg", Joonmyeon pouts.

"Is just that you sound so cute. Also, you are making all of these faces", Yifan laughs.

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

"Hey hyung", Baekhyun sits besides Luhan in the recording room.

"Wheres Kyungie?"

"I think he was practicing a script, he will be here soon. Jongdae?"

"He told me he came in this morning already", Luhan smiles apologetically

"Ok", silence. "So how are you and Minseok hyung? You guys are my only hope for love", the chinese hyung smiles.

"Dont worry Baekhie you will find somebody soon"

"So, how was that story? I mean how it started? If...if you dont mind me asking"

"No, is ok. Well its not a big deal I guess. We were told to practice together and, well from the start Yifan, Minseok and I hit off...something like that, like a friendship that turned into something else"

"I see...", he chuckles, "you know, when I first met the three of you I really thought something was happening between Yifan and Minsek hyung....but now that you tell me you were good friends from the start then it makes sense". Inside Baekhyun enjoys how the look on Luhans eyes turns somber, dark. He holds back a smirk.

"No, it was never like that. Yifan and I were really good friends, same age friends, then Minseok was also our age so...", he nods.

"Of course I get it. I see it every day, Minseok hyung and you cant be apart. I doubt anyone would dare to come between you".

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

Its around nine when Luhan finally decides to go by the recording studio again. Minseok and the rest of the rap line have practice, he will go there to "pick" him up.

He enters and hears the voices, waves silently to the sound ingeneer, he tells him that is ok, that he shouldnt disturbe the practice. Sehun is taking a nap on the big cauch  so he sits on the smaller one. Tao is inside the booth too looking at his phone. Is not that what catches his eyes, its them. Yifan is trying to make Minseok say the words in english. He can hear them, "no like the r in LoveR" Yifan says. Minseok tries and they smile. And is the first time that he admits it, Yifan looks at Minseok in a different way. Yifan has always looked at Minseok in different way. So how long will it take for Minseok to realized of that too?
