"Hyeri?" Chanyeol called out into the hallway then spotted Tao walking his way. "Tao, have you seen Hyeri?" Chanyeol asked and the younger one nodded.

"I saw her downstairs around an hour ago! She was playing card games with Luhan in the living room." Tao told Chanyeol as they both made their way down the stairs.

"Cheater!" Chanyeol heard his mate hiss followed by Luhan laughing. "I did not! You're just a rookie at this game!" Luhan teased and Hyeri groaned.

"I quit!" Hyeri hissed as Chanyeol and Tao entered the living room. Chanyeol saw her sitting on the couch with Luhan across from her and cards in the middle.

"Yeol, he's cheating!" Hyeri cried as she put her cards down- facing down with a pout on her face. "I am not! I literally just taught you how to play this game, you're still new at it!" Luhan laughed as he defended himself.

"Fine.. But you better visit me!" Hyeri glared at Chanyeol while she sat on the bed. "Of course I will, who do you think I am?" Chanyeol muttered before nodding towards the door.

"Come on. Your dad said that he will be home by five, and it's already twenty past five." Chanyeol reminded Hyeri and she sighed but got off the bed.

~~~~~🐺~~~~~

Six hours without my mate is torture.. I knew I should have taken her father's offer to stay there for the night. Chanyeol grumbled in his head.

"Chanyeol? Can you hear me?" Jongdae nudged Chanyeol's arm and he groaned while slapping his friend's arm away. "He's dying! Go bring Hyeri back!" Jongdae shouted and Chanyeol heard Minseok chuckle.

"He is not dying, Jongdae. He's just going through withdrawals." Minseok said as he walked into the li
