The next few days in china were quiet and peaceful, tao took his friends out on a tour.. but never addressed his problem even once..and the members just let him be..

"goodmorning Zitao" tao's mom greeted his son as he came down the next morning his hyungs were still asleep

"morning mama.." tao greeted.. he went by the kitchen sink and started washing the things his mom used to cook breakfast

"Zitao..are you ok? something's wrong with you.."

"uhm.. no mama..i'm ok.. nothing's wrong.." Tao tried to hide his real feelings because he didn't want his familiy to be bothered

"Zitao..it's just you and me here... and i am your mom, you can't hide that you are not ok from me.." Tao's mom pulled his son to look at her and that's where she saw tao's lonely eyes.. "is it about Kris?"

"mama..." Tao went in for a hug, his tears fell...

"shhh... cry it all out son..." Tao's mom rubbed circles in his back as he cried silently on her shoulders..

after a while Tao broke the hug and wiped his eyes... "i..i just needed that hug so much.. thanks mama..."

Tao's mom understood that Tao didn't want to talk about whatever happened to him and Kris and she respects that.. "whenever you need another hug while you're here son..." she smiled making tao smile too..

Soon the other family members and Exo guys woke up and they all had breakfast..

"Zitao, why don't you take your friends to the beach where you always go to , your mom, brother and i  will go and shop for things needed here at home.." Tao's dad said as they prepared to leave

"ok baba.. be careful.." Tao responded

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

At the beach..

"hey why don't you play with lay and luhan hyung over there?" Suho asked the maknae as he prepared their food on their picnic mat

"i'm ok here hyung,,," tao smiled a little before resuming to stare at nothing

"how are you feeling?"

"confused..sad..hurt..disappointed.."

"Tao.. i kow what Kris did was not cool.. but are you sure about your decision to break up with him?" Suho knew how much Tao loved Kris

"Hyung.. what if Lay hyung promised to always be true to you, to never lie or cheat.. what if he did what kris ge did to me..would you just let it be coz you love him and just forgive him?" Tao asked

Suho was quiet..if Lay had done that to him, maybe he will react just like tao did.. He was the one who always told Tao that trust is important in a relationship anyway..

"So what are you going to do? you know we will need to go back in a few days..." Suho asked again

"i guess it up? i'm not going to abandon EXO just because Kris and I broke up.. it would hurt seeing him everyday but i am not going to hurt the whole team just because of that.." Tao answered

"you want to switch rooms?"

"no it's ok hyung..i'm also not going to separate you guys from your boyfriends"

"will you be ok sharing a room with Kris?"

"i'll just have to deal with it.."

"are you sure?"

"yes hyung..i'm sure.."

"ok..but if you can't take being in the same room with him, you can come and sleep with lay and i..our baby is always welcome.."

"thanks hyung.." Tao laid down on Suho's lap and closed his eyes... Suho carresed Tao's face feeling sad at what tao's situation is..
