Tao and Luhan reached the convenience store. “Your place is actually on our way to school, so Baekhyun and I will pick you up at seven thirty in the morning. We’ll get there by seven forty five. Fifteen minutes to spare before class starts!”

“Xiumin and Kyungsoo live on the other side of school, so they usually walk together.” Luhan added.

Tao smiled back, “Okay. See… see you then…”

He took a few steps when Luhan called after him, “You’ll be able to meet Xiumin and Kyungsoo tomorrow as well!”

Needless to say, they somehow all ended up staying over at Kris’ place.

“Why the hell is everyone here?” Kris asked aloud. Everyone ignored him and went on their business.

Kris turned his head to the left and looked at Sehun, who was silently drinking and staring at the trio before them. “Well?” Kris asked.

Sehun shrugged, “Beats me.”

Kris tried again, “Why are you here, then?”

Sehun stared straight ahead expressionless, “Free beer.”

Kris groaned and hit his h
