Hyoyeon was shocked, "So these two wanted to know what we were talking about?" she thought to herself.

Sehun hit Luhan's arm with his elbow, "I'm sorry," he said, "Lu's just... uncomfortable with silence, so he wanted you guys to continue talking."

"Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt if I tell it to them," Tao turned to Hyoyeon. She nodded.

Tao cleared his throat, "I have a proposal to Hyoyeon."

Luhan's jaw dropped. Sehun gritted his teeth.

"I think she'd be a good partner," Tao continued.

Sehun curled his hand into a fist.

Tao sighed.

"I asked Hyoyeon to... help me court Yuri, in exchange of proofreading her novel."

Sehun and Luhan let out a sigh of relief.

Hyoyeon giggled, "I didn't know Tao liked kkab Yuri that much. That's love at first sight, I must say."

Tao blushed.

"I-- I see," Sehun stammered. And he thought he'd have another competitor for Hyoyeon.

Luhan laughed, "Sehun and I can help you with that!"

"Really?" Tao was surprised.

"The problem is," Hyoyeon interrupted, "I just noticed that something's not right with her. Like, something's bugging her. And I don't know what it is."

Luhan pounded his hand on the table, "Then that's our first mission! Discover what Kwon Yuri is hiding from us! We'll make her spill the seeds!"

"It's beans," Sehun sighed, "Spill the beans."
