Anne and Marie’s bag were already inside the car’s trunk. Minzy drove them to Exo’s dorm. Along the way, the two girls seem so quiet.

 

“You alright girls?”, asked Minzy all of the sudden

 

Anne who was just looking outside the car through window turned to Minzy.

 

“Ah… Ne Unnie. It’s just that I was thinking if we’re really going to be alright there at Exo’s dorm.”, said Anne

“Don’t worry Honey. Those boys are real good boys. And I’m just a call away if there will be any problem. Okay?”, said Minzy

“Okay Unnie.”, said Anne

 

While the two were conversing, Marie who as usual, sitting at the back was still silent looking through the window like she wasn’t hearing anything from the two of them.  Minzy looked at her and felt a bit worried.

 

“Marie, you okay?”, asked Minzy

 

She didn’t respond. It was like she didn’t hear Minzy.

 

“Yah!”, shouted Anne

 

Marie turned to Anne saying, ”Huh? Did you two say something?”

 

The two were surprised of how Marie was acting. They looked at each other, worried of how she was not acting normally.

 

“Unnie just asked you if you were okay!”, said Anne

“Oh…Uhm… Sorry Unnie. I didn’t hear you.”, said Marie weakly

“You don’t look fine. Is something wrong? Are you sick?”, asked Minzy

“Does your head still hurts?”, added Anne

“Huh?…No…I’m not sick and I’m fine. My head’s okay.”, said Marie

“Is something bothering you Sweetie?”, asked Minzy

 

Marie looked at Anne. Then and there she knew why Marie was acting that way. She knew Marie not wanting to stay at Exo’s dorm.

“Ah!!! I already know why Unnie!”, said Anne

“What is it?”, asked Minzy

“She really liked a souvenir keychain yesterday at the beach but she wasn’t able to buy it. I think that’s why she’s sad.”, lied Anne

“Oh…Really? Which souvenir? We could go back there next time and buy it.”, said Minzy

“No need Unnie! It’s alright!”, said Marie

“You sure?”, confirmed Minzy

“Ne Unnie…”, said Marie

“Then cheer up okay?”, said Minzy

 

Marie then gave out a smile just to stop Minzy from worrying. Marie and Anne then smiled at each other.

 

When they reached the dorm, Marie made a big sigh before entering the dorm. She was just behind Minzy and Anne as they rang the doorbell.

 

Chanyeol opened the door for them as she grabbed Anne and Marie’s luggage.

 

Chanyeol said, “Annyeong! Welcome to our dorm!”,

Marie and Anne smiled back at him.

 

The boys went down from their bedrooms except for Kyungsoo. The boys welcomed them warmly.

 

Suho said, ”Annyeong! I hope you’ll enjoy staying here with us.”

“I hope you’ll take care of me, Baby Girl!”, added Baekhyun which made everybody stare at him

 

“We’re really sorry if we’re bothering you for a month.”, said Anne

“Ne, It’s my fault. I’m sorry for this boys.”, added Minzy

“That’s not a problem Unnie! We’re even wishing that they’ll extend their stay here.”, said Chanyeol  as he smiled at Anne

“Yeah! That’s true!”, added Sehun while smiling at Anne

“We really enjoy it if the two of them are always here with us.”, said Baekhyun as he winked at Marie

“Yah! Hyung!”, exclaimed Marie as everyone laughed

 

While everyone was laughing, Kyungsoo came down. Marie suddenly stopped laughing. She fell silent when she saw Kyungsoo. Anne noticed it.

“Hey! Kyungsoo! The girls are here already. Treat them nicely, okay? Especially Marie!”, exclaimed Minzy

“Why should I…”, murmured Kyungsoo to himself not knowing Marie read his lips while nobody else did

“Okay, I should be going now. I still need to prepare my house for my visitors. Boys, you should take care of them, okay? And these girls can help you do the cooking too. And they can also help out in some chores.”, said Minzy

“Okay Noona!”, said Suho

“Girls, I’ll get going now. Just call me anytime if you have problems or you need something, okay?”, said Minzy

“Ne Unnie.”, said Anne and Marie in unison

 

Minzy left the two of them with the boys. Chanyeol, Suho and Baekhyun showed the girls around the dorm while Kai, Sehun and Kyungsoo were at the living room.

When Anne and Marie were already in their room, the boys left them there and gave them time to change. After changing, the two went down.

 

“Girls, some of us are going to buy some drinks and desserts at supermarket just near here for our lunch party. You wanna come?”, asked Chanyeol

Anne said, ”I would like to come. How about you Marie?”,

Marie glanced at Kyungsoo who was sitting at the sofa watching TV

 

Marie whispered, “Hyung, is that guy coming with you at the supermarket?”

“Hmm… I don’t think so. I think he’ll be left here.”, said Chanyeol

“I’ll come with you then.”, said Marie excitedly

“Okay! Good! Hyung! Anne and Marie are coming with us.”, shouted Chanyeol

“Let’s go now then. So we could eat lunch earlier.”, said Suho

 

Kyungsoo turned to them when he heard Anne and Marie were coming with Suho, Chanyeol and Sehun.

 

“I’ll come with you. I need to buy something”, said Kyungsoo as he stood up from the sofa

“I’ll just stay here at home, Hyung.”, said Marie as she heard Kyungsoo was coming

“Oh, I forgot… I already bought that thing I need. I’ll just stay here.“, said Kyungsoo

“Oh, I change my mind! I’ll come with you Hyung! I need to buy something!”, said Marie

“I change my mind. I still need to come with you. I forgot I still need to buy my shampoo.”, said Kyungsoo

 

All the boys and Anne were all silent and was looking at how Marie and Kyungsoo were easily changing their minds of going or not going with them. All of them were confused at how the two were acting.

 

“I think it’s better if the two of you go buy our supplies!”, said Chanyeol

“Yeah! I agree on that.”, agreed Anne

“Huh?”, Marie and Kyungsoo exclaimed at the same time

“Here’s the list.”, said Chanyeol as he handed Marie the grocery list

“Here’s the money.”, said Suho as he handed the money to Kyungsoo

“I guess that’s settled then. Happy shopping to the two of you!”, said Marie as Kai and Baekhyun continued watching TV while Suho, Chanyeol and Sehun went to the kitchen.

 

Marie and Kyungsoo were speechless. It was like they couldn’t do anything about it. The two of them glared at each other. Marie went out of the dorm as Kyungsoo followed him grumpily.  When they arrived at the supermarket, Marie pulled a cart and started getting everything from the list. She didn’t care for Kyungsoo. Kyungsoo just kept following her and the two didn’t even say a word at each other. Kyungsoo was a bit disturbed at how she was ignoring him.

 

Kyungsoo shouted, ”Yah!”

 

Marie still continued pushing the cart ignoring Kyungsoo.

 

“Yah! Stop ignoring me!”, exclaimed Kyungsoo

 

Marie still continued pushing the cart like she didn’t hear Kyungsoo. Kyungsoo got agitated as he said, “Fine. Do whatever you wanna do.”, then he left the supermarket

 

Kyungsoo really left. At first, Marie didn’t care but when she was almost done, she kept looking where Kyungsoo was. She looked around the supermarket but Kyungsoo is nowhere to be seen.

 

“That stupid guy.”, said Marie while stomping her feet

 

Kyungsoo returned to their dormitory.

 

“Oh, you’re done shopping already?”, asked Suho

“I left her there.”, said Kyungsoo

“Huh? Why did you leave her there!?! Did you give her the money?”, asked Suho

“No. I didn’t. Just let her pay for it.”, said Kyungsoo

“Yah! How could you be so mean to her! Give me the money. I’ll go there.”, said Chanyeol

 

Right in time, Anne received an sms from Marie saying : “Can you come to the supermarket? My money is not enough to pay all of this. I forgot my other wallet there. That ‘pabo’ left me without giving me the money .”

 

Anne said, “Chanyeol, Marie just sent me an sms. I think I should go help her.”

“I’ll just go there instead. Just continue cooking with Suho Hyung and Sehun.”, said Chanyeol while glaring at Kyungsoo as he was leaving the dorm

 

When Chanyeol arrived at the supermarket, he saw Marie already standing outside the supermarket’s entrance. He was standing beside Junho.

 

“Hyung!”, shouted Marie while waving at Chanyeol

Chanyeol smiled and waved back.

 

“You okay?”, asked Chanyeol

“Yeah, good thing I bumped into Junho Oppa. He helped me pay for these. We’ll just pay him.”, said Marie

“Yeah we should. Sorry if we troubled you.”, said Chanyeol apologetically

“No, it’s alright. It’s Marie after all.”, said Junho

“We’ll get going now, Oppa.”, said Marie

“Oh, should I drive you there?”, asked Junho

“No, it’s okay. It’s just a walking distance.”, said Marie

“Okay. If you say so. You guys take care!”, said Junho

“We’ll get going now! Bye Oppa!”, said Marie waving at Junho as they walked away

 

Junho drove his car when Marie and Chanyeol were already out of his sight.

 

“What happened with you and Kyungsoo?”, asked Chanyeol

“He’s an idiot.”, said Marie

“He said you wanted to do it alone.”, said Chanyeol

“It was because I ignored him that’s why he left.”, said Marie

“Why did you ignore him?”, asked Chanyeol

”I just don’t want to talk to him. We don’t need to talk to each other anyway!”, said Marie

“Aigooo~ the two of you… Really… You two idiots.”, said Chanyeol

“Yah!Hyung! Idiot? Me??”, exclaimed Marie

“Yes! The two of you! So stubborn!”, said Chanyeol

“I thought you were on my side Hyung!”, said Marie

“I am on your side and I am on Kyungsoo’s side too. Both of you are my best friends.”, explained Chanyeol with a smile

“Eh~”, said Marie with a sigh

“You two should stop hating each other.”, said Chanyeol

“I don’t think that would happen, Hyung. He hates me.”, said Marie

“No he doesn’t.”, said Chanyeol

“Yes he does!”, argued Marie

“But do you?”, asked Chanyeol

 

Marie fell silent, thinking if she really hates Kyungsoo.

 

“I think I do… I don’t know! It’s just….Uh!!! Stop talking about Kyungsoo, Hyung! That idiot!”, said Marie

“Okay…Okay…Calm down. Let’s stop talking about Kyungsoo for now. Just remember that you can always open up to me anytime. Okay?”, said Chanyeol while patting Marie’s back

“I won’t! you might tell Kyungsoo everything I will tell you!”, said Marie

“I won’t! I promise you that! Pinky Swear?”, said Chanyeol while offering Marie his pinky

 

Marie smiled as she made a pinky swear with Chanyeol. When they arrived the dorm, lunch was ready.

 

“Good thing you’re here now. Lunch is ready.”, said Anne

“Guys! Lunch is ready!”, shouted Sehun

“Are you okay?”, asked Baekhyun as he cupped Marie’s face

“I’m okay Hyung!”, said Marie

“Good thing Junho was there to save Marie.”, said Chanyeol loudly

 

When Kyungsoo heard it, He immediately went to the dining table where Anne, Chanyeol, Marie, Suho, Sehun and Baekhyun were already seated.

 

“So that Junho was your Superhero, huh???”, asked Kyungsoo

 

Everyone looked at how Kyungsoo was acting. He was like a kid who was getting jealous. Marie just ignored Kyungsoo.

 

“By any chance, are you jealous?”, asked Suho

“What??? Jealous? No of course! Why would I be jealous! That guy, compared to me? Pfft~ ”, exclaimed Kyungsoo

 

Anne and Chanyeol looked at each other.

 

“You two should stop ignoring each other!”, exclaimed Suho

“Yeah, treat my best friend right!”, exclaimed Chanyeol

“Who’s you best friend???”, asked Baekhyun

“Marie is my best friend.”, said Chanyeol

“What? Hey! She’s my best friend!”, argued Anne

“Well, ask her! She’s my best friend too.”, said Chanyeol

“Your Chanyeol’s best friend now?”, exclaimed Anne

“I’m your best friend, of course but Hyung is my guy best friend too. You’re both my best friends!”, said Marie

“Eh~”, said Anne with a sigh

 

Chanyeol pinched Anne’s cheek which made Sehun’s eyes grow bigger. He was jealous but he was keeping it inside. The others were also surprised. Anne blushed while Chanyeol was smiling at her.

 

“Aigoo~ let’s stop arguing now! It’s supposed to be our Lunch welcome party for these two. Let’s eat!”, said Suho as they started munching on the food on the table
