Baekhyun's POV (11:57 AM)

Across the practice room, in the faraway corner, Tao sat on the floor. His back leaning against the wall. The look on his face and his posture screams of misery and emptiness . It was very painful to see. His face looks pale and his eyes swollen. 

Chanyeol told me about what happened yesterday. He said that Tao cried while singing. He didnt forget to mention how Tao looked like a lost kid in the grocery. Hah. Chanyeol will never miss a chance to make a joke out of anything.

I sat beside Kyungsoo, observing Tao. He might leave us too, like Kris. That's too far fetched. Impossible. Yet it happened to Kris. I know how close they are and it's almost like they're siblings, no..., almost like they're a couple. Tao and I are tight, we're even roommates so I know how he feels for Kris. 

                                    ~XoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoX~

'It was a tiresome day. Minseok hyung and I left earlier than the others. Its tough and confusing to have changes in our choreo, not to mention laborious. But I can't put my blame on Kris, it's not his fault, and I miss him too.

I'm lying on my bed trying to get some sleep, but its impossible. My mind cant seem to stop thinking about Kris leaving us. Its just too hard to accept it.

I started browsing my phone. Luhan have sent me his ebooks and reassured me that they're good. It was only after reading the scary part did I realize that it was a horror story. Urgh. Luhan told me not to read this before bed. Yeah, so I was forewarned. But it's too late, I'm too caught up with the story right now to stop reading it.

The story was about:

'A newlywed couple bought a new house away from the city. At first, they were so lovey-dovey and all. It was on the part when they were asleep in their bedroom when the door suddenly cracked open and a hair raising sound of a crying entity was heard. The woman was awakened by the noise. Frightened and struggling, she tried to awaken her husband. Then, a pale slender hand reached out and took hold her foot, she froze and turned around. She saw girl drenched with blood-'

"Ahhh!! Jebal! Jebal! No!!!" I shouted. 

And then a had was gripping my foot.

"Jebal!!!" I begged. 

"Hey! It's me!" Minseok hyung's voice answered in the darkness.

"Ohh.. hyung it's just you! You almost gave me a heart attack." I laughed.

"Like Luhan said, don't read his ebook's at night." Minseok hyung reminded. 

I nodded and turned my phone off.

"Go to sleep now." He said going back to sleep.

I lay on my bed trying to get some sleep. Minseok hyung seemed like his asleep already. Suddenly, the door opened and a crying voice can be heard- wait, what? Could it be-?? No!!

I heard sniffing. And then a-

"Kris-Gege..." The person said.

It was Tao. Crying.'

                                    ~XoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoX~

I walked to Tao, unconsciously. He looked up and I noticed that his eyes are swollen. 

"Why do you look so ugly today, Tao?" I know I shouldn't be annoying him right now but I can't help it. I can't take too much drama, and I was born with this personality.

"Baekhyun hyung..." Tao said. His lips are starting to pout and his eyes are watery.

"Really... Just, what happened to you?" I asked being nosy.

"Kris posted this on his Instagram" He handed me his phone.

I take a peek in his phone. A message that Kris left for his fans. It read;

"I'm doing fine. I wish everyone the best, and I hope things will be better for you all. I thank all the people who are supporting me, and thanks for voicing your opinions. Wu Yi Fan will always be here!"

"Baekhyun hyung..." Tao whined. He was close to crying. He's starting to make those weird noises like he does when he's about to cry.

"Sshh.. How 'bout we eat lunch now? With your favorite food?" I suggested. 

His face brightened a little. His lips starting to creep as he force a smile. Glad to see that nonetheless. Chanyeol started to join us. The other members seemed to notice too so they gathered around us.

"Tao-ya, why does your eye bags look bigger than usual?" Questioned SeHun. Haha. Seems like I'm not the only one who wants cheer up Tao by teasing him.

"SeHun-ssi, don't talk to Tao like that. He's your hyung, remember?" Lay reminded, not getting the situation.

Kyungsoo prepared the food so it was delicious. We gather around the table forming a huge circle. Tao picked up his chop sticks and started digging in.

"Hep hep!" I slap his hand and he stared at me.

"let's all say..." Luhan hyung stated.

"*잘 먹었습니다." We all said in unison and started eating. I just smiled at Kyungsoo when I tasted the food. It was so delicious! I hope he never leaves the group! Im so grateful to have such a responsible and amazing cook as a member. His prowess in making a meal never ceases to amaze me.

(*Jal MugGutSumNiDa=Thanks for the meal)

Kyungsoo's POV

Damn those kids, they all seemed to shove all the food on their plates leaving me nothing to eat. Ugh. I wish they wouldn't do this all the time. Preparing food is really burdensome. Chen and I always prepare the food. Sometimes Chanyeol helps us. Unfortunately, I can't entrust the other members with this.

Even so, they all have a good appetite, especially Tao. Who is in the stage of mourning. He eats like he usually does, like he's always hungry. Seems like his stomach is bottomless. Why is he so thin when he eats more than the rest of us? That must be why he's so tall. Geez, that's probably why I'm vertically challenged because I don't seem to be eating enough. And that's not even my fault.

Jongdae's POV

I noticed Kyungsoo looking daggers at the other members when . We really worked hard to make this food. Chanyeol didn't help us this time. While we were cooking he started nagging about something. He was murmuring, so I can't understand what he's saying. But when we were making it, he had this happy expression plastered on his face. He's actually happy to make them lunch, he just don't want to let them see it.

Baekhyun and Tao are sitting together at the other side of the room. Baekhyun is always accompanying Tao lately. I head towards them, wanting to know what they're talking about. I sat beside Tao. They both looked at me.

"What?" I asked. Wanting to know what they're looking at.

"Nothing.. Do you need something?" Baekhyun hyung asked.

"Just being curious about what you two are doing." I said casually.

"Ohh.. We're discussing about something..." Tao said, looking down.

"What something?" I replied.

"Uhh.. Um.. It's about-" Tao murmured.

"It's about this." Baekhyun hyung handed me Tao's phone.

"What's does it say? I can't read it." It was in chinese, and I'm not good about chinese characters, I'm still in the process of learning it. But then it hit me, it was Kris hyung's post. I didn't know about his posts because I don't have an instagram account. I'm not planning on making one either. The others can always tell me.

"H-hyung.. Kris-ge.. Won't be coming back to us, will he?" Tao asked.
