______________________________________

Next day ..... January 8, 2017 ... A Sunday ....

Haneul woke up from her alarm, Haneul grabs her phone to off the alarm and tries to adjust herself to be more awake. Haneul then checks her phone, sees the time being 6:35am and saw messages from the sevens again. They're up early. Haneul thinks to herself as she reads their messages.

Jaebeom : Good morning, Haneul-ah! We're going to do some schedules for the day. I'm telling you this cause maybe you'll miss us. XD 6:01am

Jinyoung : Good morning. 6:07am

Youngjae : Good morning from me and Coco! 6:10am

Yugyeom : Good morning, Haneul-ah! We're going to be busy today so we might not message you that much later so please take care of yourself for us! 6:14am

BamBam : Hey, princess! Good morning! 6:20am

Jackson : Good morning, sunshine! Hope you slept well! 6:29 am

As Haneul was reading through the six messages, her phone dings from a new message so Haneul checks it.

Mark : Good morning, Gom-ah. You awake? 6:41am

Haneul reads Mark's message and her cheeks has a tint of pink. Haneul slaps herself which made the tint of pink a shade of red. Haneul, get yourself together! Haneul thinks to herself trying to control the blush from coming out. She then types her replies and sends it to them.

To Jaebeom : Good morning too, oppa! Of course! Who wouldn't miss the great GOT7? As a fan, I'm lucky enough to hang out with you guys and even have each others' numbers. XD

To Jinyoung : Aigoo, you cold, Jinyoungie oppa. But good morning to you as well. ;(

To Youngjae : Good morning to you and to Coco too, oppa!

To Yugyeom : Good morning, oppa! No worries, I'll be busy as well. Take care of yourselves too, oppa!

To BamBam : Hey, oppa! Good morning!

To Jackson : Good morning, oppa! Yes, I did. Did you sleep well too, oppa?

To Mark : Good morning, oppa. Yes, I'm awakee.

After replying to the sevens, Hanuel turns her phone off and gets ready for the day because today is the day BOA is going to take their group to Lotte world. She walks to her closet and picks out a pastel pink turtleneck long sleeved shirt, black and thick sweatpants, black socks, a lighter beige colored coat and her cross-bag. Places them on her bed while grabbing her towel to go shower.

After showering, she got out of the bathroom and went back to her room. As she was about to change, she heard her phone ding and went to check it. She saw messages from the sevens and from BOA so she checked BOA's first. "Be ready and meet me in the lobby 10 minutes before 9am." Haneul reads BOA's message out loud and understood.

Then Haneul reads the sevens' messages.

Jackson : Yes, I did. By the way, we'll be going now! I won't be able to message you after this message! Take care, sunshine! 7:09am

BamBam : Princess, we'll be going out now. See you soon.

Jinyoung : Be careful of the outside world.

Jaebeom : You're right, you are lucky. Hehe. Take care of yourself, Haneul-ah. We'll see you soon!

Youngjae : We got to go somewhere. Be safe, Haneul-ah!

Mark : Oh, good. I'll text you later okay, Gom-ah? Look after yourself while we're not around.

Yugyeom : That's good, then. So you won't worry about us a lot. Just kidding! Hahaha. Stay safe, okay? Watch out for bad guys since we're not there to protect you! See you around, Haneul-ah!

Haneul smiles at the messages and quickly replies to them so she can continue to get ready.

To Jackson : Good, oppa. Okay, oppa! You guys take care as well!

To BamBam : Okay, oppa. See you soon.

To Jinyoung : Yes, oppa. I will. ;(

To Jaebeom : Hehe. Take care of yourselves too because I ain't there to protect you all.

To Youngjae : Okay, oppa! Be safe, too.

To Mark : Okay, oppa. Yes oppa, I will. Shouldn't I be the one to say that? Hehe. I was the one that save yours and Jackson oppa's butts. :P

To Yugyeom : Of course, I should worry bout you guys. Yes, oppa. You guys stay safe, too! Yes oppa! See you around!

Haneul turns off her phone as she was done sending the replies.

She then wears the clothes she picked. She hangs her coat and cross-bag again on her arm and picks up her black and grey combat boots, then went out to go to the living room. She places her coat and cross-bag on the couch as she walks her way to the fridge. As she opens the fridge she found nothing inside.

Oh shit, I forgot to buy groceries. Haneul smacks herself for forgetting the groceries. Haneul starts to panic because EXO might be coming any time soon. That's when Rey appears out of thin air behind Haneul. "They have a schedule this early morning so they can't eat breakfast here." Rey's morning voice made Haneul jump from fright.

"Jesus, Rey! You scared me!" Haneul says after she jumped with her hand on her heart. "Sorry." Rey says while containing her laugh. "You.." Haneul chases Rey and Rey runs away like a little rabbit. Haneul stopped chasing her and sat on the couch.

"Want to order?" Rey suggests which Haneul nods her head as she turns the tv on. "Jajangmyeon?" Rey asks and Haneul nods her head at a fast pace, wanting Jajangmyeon. "Oh right, how'd you know they have a schedule ear- you know what? Never mind. I know how." Haneul says with a smirk and Rey blushes after ordering.

"Ah, you two love birds." Haneul says which made Rey blush even more. The Jajangmyeon arrived after 15-20 minutes and Rey received it outside of the dorms. Rey went inside the room with the food and placed it on the table. Haneul begins to take out the food placing them on the table.

Haneul and Rey starts to dig in into their food as they watched tv. "Breaking news! A murder has happened last night. A young woman named Gong Ji Kyong was found in an alley around XXXXX at XXXXXX. She is assumed to be raped and beaten to death as there were signs of rape and bruises all over her body as her head was beaten by a rock that was found later on near her body with her blood...." Haneul drops her chopsticks as she heard the name came off of the reporter's mouth.

Gong Ji Kyong? You don't mean her, right? You don't mean the... the one from last night at the auditions... Haneul thinks to herself as she looks at the tv. Rey looked worried when Haneul suddenly dropped her chopsticks and went rigid. "Haneul-ah?" Rey calls out but Haneul did not hear it as she was focused on the tv.

"Here is the picture of the victim.." Then a picture of the same Ji Kyong from last night was shown on the tv. Haneul has her right hand balled into a fist, her nails digging into her skin with rage. "Rey, I'm not hearing things right? Did the reporter really said what she said?" Haneul asks Rey as her eyes was still glued to the tv.

"Yes, Han." Rey answers as she continues to look at Haneul. "From the same style of rape and beating to this young woman, it must have been the criminal who hasn't been caught since last year as he had raped and murdered around 5 young women in just a year. Here is the only sketch the police have of the criminal...." The reporter continues to tell more details while a sketch of the person was shown on the tv.

Haneul then heard her phone ding. She reaches for her phone and saw text messages from the sevens and from BOA. She checks BOA's first. "We'll be postponing today's activity as I've received news from Lotte World that they'll temporarily close for the sake of the people's safety due to the recent murder. I'm sorry guys but we have to be safe first. Don't go out, okay?"

Haneul reads the text message from BOA out loud which Haneul understood immediately. "This will be a good opportunity for me to catch this bastard, Rey. He killed a friend of mine who I met last night in the auditions. I should have drove her home." Haneul says as tears well up in her eyes. This was the first time Rey saw Haneul crying because she blames herself for her death.

"No, it's not your fault okay? It's that bastard's fault. We just have to wait until the police catches him." Rey says trying to reason with Haneul. Haneul wipes her tears before they fall. "You're, right. That's why I'm going to catch that bastard myself." Haneul says and was about to stand up but Rey stops her.

"Don't stop me, Rey." Haneul says but Rey pulled her back down with more force. "Eat your food before you go. It's a waste of food and money." Rey gave Haneul a death glare which Haneul stops struggling and grabs another metal chopsticks from the kitchen and continues to eat her Jajangmyeon. Rey might have killed me first before I even get out. Haneul thinks to herself with a joke to calm down.

Haneul shows Rey her bowl empty which Rey nods her head, approving the empty bowl. Haneul gets up, gets her coat and cross-bag while Rey cleans up their mess. "Haneul-ah." Rey calls out to Haneul as she was about to head out. Haneul turns around to look at Rey. "Be careful, okay? Also, make sure to catch that piece of shit." Rey says with anger boiling up. Haneul nods her head. Haneul heads out and went down the elevator then out of the dorms.

Haneul approaches her car and got in. It's a good thing my car's windows are tinted which no one can see from the outside. Haneul removes her cross-bag and coat putting them on the passenger's seat then reaches for the secret compartment under her seat. She got out a black coat and wore it as she zips it up. Haneul then ties her hair in a low ponytail and wears a black face mask.

Haneul then checks her phone for the messages from the sevens.

Jaebeom : Have you heard the news? If you did, you better not go out.

Jackson : Sunshine, don't go out, okay? There's a criminal around here.

Youngjae : Haneul-ah, stay indoors and never come out.

Jinyoung : Stay inside.

Yugyeom : Be safe, Haneul-ah. Protect yourself.

BamBam : Princess, if you're going out, then don't.

Mark : Gom-ah, we'll be finishing early and go home earlier than intended. Please stay inside and don't go out, Gom-ah.

Haneul's heart felt grateful for their care for her but she can't tell them that she's going out so she replied to them quickly and shuts her phone off. Haneul starts her engine and drove to the station. Once, Haneul arrived near the station, there were a lot of reporters in front of the station. Haneul parks her car and wore her coat's hood to cover her face more.

Haneul went to go another way where only she and the officers know the way inside. She got in easily and away from the reporters. As she got in, she saw the officers inside in a panic while telephones were blasting with their ringing. "Everybody! Please calm down!" Haneul yells for everyone to hear.

The officers who were panicking, stopped and looks at Haneul. Haneul pushes her hood down and removes her mask then puts it inside her coat. "Now, give me the details. Let's get busy." With just that, one by one, the officers calmed down and went to Haneul to tell her the details.

After the officers told Haneul the details, Haneul understood everything. The criminal is said to be around 186cm, wears the same black clothes as if it was specifically for his targets. He knows which alleys and roads have broken cctvs, which means he's a skilled criminal but with just that the officers wont be able to pinpoint who this is.

Hanuel begins to think of possible ways. "Can you show me Ji Kyong's body?" Haneul asks the officers and they nod their heads as her body is in the forensics station inside the police station building getting analyzed to make sure that she was actually raped and beaten and to find some kind of dna from the criminal himself.

The officers leads her to a dim hallway and into a room. There, Haneul saw Ji Kyong's body with the analyzers beside her body collecting evidences. "Hello, can I please have a moment with her?" Haneul asks the officers and the analyzers politely which they agreed and left her alone in the room.

Haneul walks towards Ji Kyong's body that was laying on the examining table. Haneul looks at how badly bruised Ji Kyong was. "I'm sorry. I'll make him pay, Ji Kyong-ah or Ji Kyong unnie. I didn't get to know if you're really older or younger than me. May you rest in peace and let me handle the rest." Haneul says as she puts her hand on top of Ji Kyong's hand and begins to look into her memories.

Haneul sees Ji Kyong leaving the building where they were having the auditions. She saw that Ji Kyong was walking cautiously on her way home as the whole way walking home, she felt as if someone was following her. Ji Kyong then made a sudden turn towards an alley which the person who really did follow her, caught her.

Ji Kyong struggled real hard in his arms which made the criminal beat her to death. Haneul then saw the criminal taking off her clothes and had his way with her then smashed her head with a rock. Haneul's eyes widen as she saw the murderer's face even if it was just a moment as the light illuminated on his face for a moment which Haneul caught.

It's a good thing he didn't wear a mask this time. I'll catch you, you bastard. I'll get to avenge you, Ji Kyong. Haneul thinks to herself as she lets go of Ji Kyong's hand. She bows to Ji Kyong and left the room.

"Follow me. I think I know what the criminal looks like." Haneul says as she walks towards the office of the officers. The officers who showed her the way to the room, trails behind Haneul in a hurry. "Ahjussi, please show me pictures of some of the criminals you haven't caught yet."

Haneul requests politely which the officer quickly gets on his computer and pictures of criminals begin to pop out. "Next.... Next..." After saying a lot of next, Haneul finally found the face through the countless of criminals. "Stop. It's him. It's that guy. A body count of 5, consisting of young women." Haneul says as she stares into the computer looking at the picture.

"How'd you know it's him, Haneul-ah?" The officer asks Haneul with curiousity. "I trust my gut, ahjussi. You guys should trust your gut from time to time." Haneul says smiling at the officer. "All officers here, please listen to what I'm about to say. All available officers should go on a stake out around the area where the body was found but not near it just around it, okay? It's most likely the criminal is still around the area and would very much likely target another one. Time is precious my hard working officers! Let's get that bastard."

Haneul announces through the microphone where its connected to the speakers inside the station. The available officers cheers at Haneul's speech then starts to take their coats and goes out to their cars to start their stake out.

On the other hand, Haneul stayed beside the officer next to her. "I have an idea, ahjussi." Haneul tells the officer beside her and tells him her idea which the officer agrees that it could work. Haneul starts to gather a female officer for this to work. With that, they begin to go with Haneul's plan.

Like a snap of a finger, the day turned into night as Haneul saw a lot of officer cars around the area where Haneul told them to be. Haneul then starts to do her part of the job. Staking inside a convenience store acting as if trying to find a snack to choose, wearing her mask and hood. In front of her is the female officer who is outside the convenience store is doing her part as well dressed as a business woman coming from her job with a bag of goodies to bring 'home'.

Haneul gave the female officer a nod and the female officer starts to walk the same way to where Ji Kyong went when she was walking home. After watching the female officer walking ahead, Haneul spots a suspicious figure tailing behind the female officer. Haneul starts to get out of the convenience store and begins to tail far behind the suspicious figure so as to not be noticed.

Since there was no one around the neighborhood at this time because of the news, it made the job of the criminal more easier to catch a target. As the female officer passed by the crime scene she starts to act according to what Haneul told her to do. "Oh my gosh. I hope I won't be the next target." The female officer says loud enough for the suspicious figure to hear.

The suspicious figure begin to walk faster towards the female officer but as Haneul told the police officer that when the murderer catches her, she has to act surprised and wait for Haneul to come. The female officer acts out to Haneul's plan because she trusts Haneul. Haneul noticed the suspicious person starts to fill in the distance between him and the female officer.

Once Haneul saw that the suspicious was about to pounce on the female officer, Haneul slowed down the time and ran towards the two and begins to shadow the suspicious person. Haneul made time normal again as the suspicious person pounced on the female officer and brings her to another alley. Haneul follows closely behind them without making a noise. The female officer was struggling to get out of the person's arms as she screams.

"Be quiet. You'll be like the one from last night. It won't hurt much if you listen to me." The person coos sinisterly behind the female officer's ear which made her mad and struggle even more. Haneul wanted to beat his ass more than ever but she has to wait for the right time in case he has a knife. The person was starting to get mad so he pushed the female officer to the ground. The person then grabs something from his pockets.

The female officer turns to look at the person and for a moment she saw Haneul's figure behind him. The female officer continues to act her part while crawling backwards to make it seem more real for the person. "Look what I have..." The person who's a male, brought out a knife from his pockets waving it in front of the female officer.

The man was about to stab the woman on the ground when Haneul grabs his wrist on time, stopping him midway. The man looked confused till he saw a hooded figure beside him. "Who the hell are you?" He says as he tries to pull his arm from her grasp. In that moment, Haneul felt a surge of power in her body.

Haneul squeezed the man's wrist not knowing she's crushing it with inhuman strength. The man lets go of the knife and kneels to the ground, shouting in pain. "Let go you bitch! Let go!" The man struggles to pull his hand back but he couldn't muster up his own strength due to the pain.

"No. You'll get what you deserve for killing 6 innocent women." Haneul says, pulling his hood away and ripping his face mask off of his face. Seeing that it was the guy they're all looking for, she punches the man's daylights out. The man fell on the ground, knocked out. "Unnie, call the ones near here, now. I'll leave once they're here." Haneul says which the female officer gets up and begins to call over her partners.

After a while, officer cars begin to flood outside of the alley as officers get out of their car to walk towards the scene. Seeing the man limp on the ground as Haneul stood beside the female officer watching the man. "Thank you, Haneul-ah. You did it again. Great job!" Officers congratulates Haneul as she nods at them and steps aside for them to get the bastard and imprison him.

"Don't let that piece of shit out, okay? I'll head out now. You guys know what to do." Haneul says as she waves goodbye to them as they nod their heads. Haneul trust the officers that they'll make up another reason to tell the reporters.

Haneul made her way to the convenience store which she parked her car next to. She gets in and head home. As she arrived at the dorms, she quickly removes her coat and mask putting them into a paper bag. She removes the tie from her hair and wears her coat and cross-bag. She gets out of the car with the paper bag and went inside the dorms.

She arrives at her room and went in. She closed the door behind her and walks to the living room. To her shock, she found EXO inside their room. "What are you guys doing here?" Haneul asks as she looks at them all. EXO began to stand up and run towards Haneul to check on her.

"I'm fine!" Haneul tries to reason out as each of them were checking for wounds. "What are you doing? I was at my parent's house all day." Haneul made up an excuse as they kept checking her. "Are you sure?" Chanyeol asks as he grabs Haneul's chin gently. "Yes, oppa." Haneul lets out shyly as their faces were close.

"Move!" Lay then pushes Chanyeol away as Chanyeol stumbles and everyone just laughs. "It's good that you're back safe." Lay says taking her hands in his. Lay then realized what he did and lets go immediately and blushed, walking away then hides behind Suho.

Haneul laughs at Lay as so did everyone. Haneul then pushes the EXO members towards the couch so they can sit down. "I'll be right back." Haneul says as she walks to her bedroom and puts the coat inside the basket while the mask on the table next to it. Haneul takes off her coat and cross-bag to hang them inside the closet.

Haneul hears a ding from her phone so she checks it and saw a message from the sevens.

JB : Me and the guys are wondering how you were. We decided that I'll be the one to text you at this time since we think you replying to all of us would be too much of a hassle.

To JB : I'm fine, oppas. Don't worry. How about you guys?

JB : We're fine as well. We got back earlier this afternoon and we didn't get to message you because our manager took our phones for some reason. But hey, we got it back.

To JB : Awe. You guys must have been bored till you got your phones back, huh?

JB : Not really. We played games together and it would've more fun if you were here with us.

To JB : Awe, oppas are too cute. We'll see each other soon!

After messaging back and forth, Haneul puts down her phone and was about to change her clothes but suddenly she remembered something really important. Haneul grabs her coat, cross-bag and phone then walks out of her room. She sees EXO watching tv.

"I got to head out again. I forgot to buy the groceries." Haneul says as she face palmed herself for being forgetful. "No. It's dangerous, Haneul-ah." Suho tries to reason out as they all looked at Haneul while Rey and D.O were focused on the news on the tv.

"I don't think it's dangerous anymore..." D.O says which made everyone turn to him then at the tv. "Good news, everyone! The criminal from last night has just been caught and is now on trial for the murder, rape and sexual abuse of 6 young women. The reason for finally catching the criminal this time was from the help of the mysterious hero yet again! Mysterious hero, from all of us here at the station and from the citizens here in Seoul, we thank you for bringing another criminal down."

The reporter says and bows her head at the end which made everyone gasp except for Haneul and Rey. Haneul felt proud but she knows there's a lot more of them out there that she needs to catch. "Well then, I'll go with you." Chanyeol says as he stood up with a smile. All of them were relieved that the criminal was now caught.

"Me, too!" Sehun, Kai and Lay stood up as they say this in unison. The three look at each other from the unexpected unison. "You guys chill here. We'll be back!" Haneul says as she wears her coat and cross-bag then her boots. The four wore theirs as well and trail behind Haneul as they got out of the dorms.

Haneul walks to her car which the three of the four guys stopped her. "Haneul-ah, we shouldn't touch things that isn't ours." Kai says but Sehun nudges him. "Uhm, this is mine." Haneul turns around as she says this, walking backwards towards her car.

Sehun taps Kai's and Chanyeol's shoulder and left them to sit in the passenger's side as the three left had their jaws down. "Hop in!" Haneul says before she gets in the car with Sehun. Chanyeol, Kai and Lay quickly made their way to the car and got in.

"This is an awesome car." The three at the back admired Haneul's car as she turns the engine on. "Yes, she is. " Haneul says and drove off to a nearby supermarket. The four then started to wear their disguises before they arrived at the supermarket. Then, suddenly Chanyeol asks Haneul a question which made Haneul stop breathing for a moment.

"Haneul-ah, are you the girl behind _Miracle7_?" The sudden question caught Haneul off guard as she went still. "What do you mean?" Haneul asks nervously. "I mean she's pretty known for her voice and dance which is like yours. Same singing style, rap style, voice, dance style, the hair and eyes. Plus the same style of clothes." Lay adds which made Haneul more nervous.

"I mean we asked Rey and she said it is you but we want to confirm it for ourselves." Kai adds in again which made Haneul's eyes wide. Reeeyyy!! Haneul shouts in her head but she couldn't stay mad at Rey. "Yes, it's me. But you guys must not let anyone else know about this, okay? I've been hiding myself so I can reveal it at the right moment which is on ICSYV." Haneul says as she drives and was waiting for the four guys to reply to her but all she heard were whistles.

"Don't tell me you told the rest about this." Haneul says which the four guys stopped whistling. "They figured it out themselves." Lay says. "Ah, forget it. As long as it doesn't go get out to the public and just with you guys." Haneul says hoping it didn't go out.

"You can trust us and I mean all of us in SM Ent." Sehun says which Haneul smiles at. "Of course I do." After a little while, they arrived at the supermarket and they were glad there weren't that much people around. Haneul who wasn't wearing a disguise was in between four guys that are wearing disguises.

Haneul and the four guys started their grocery shopping for pork, beef, chicken, eggs, rice, sauces, tumblers, raw noodles, ramyeon, vegetables and some fruits. After getting all of these, they went to the check out. After paying for the goodies, the four guys took care of carrying the goodie bags towards the car.

As they got in the car, the four guys held the goodie bags to secure them as they put their seatbelts on. Haneul then puts hers on and drives off to go back to the dorms. As they arrived at the dorms, she turns off the engine and they got out of the car.

They head inside the dorms and take the elevator. They arrive at their floor and walks towards Haneul and Rey's room. They enter and took off their shoes and continues to walk inside to go to the kitchen. "We're back!" Haneul yells as she takes off her boots and sees the backs of the four guys going to the living room then to the kitchen.

"Welcome back!" Baekhyun says as Haneul sees the rest of the members making themselves at home in their living room. These dorks. Haneul thinks then she walks to her room to change into pajamas which were black sweatpants and a white oversized shirt.

She got out of her room and walks to the kitchen passing by the rest of the members in the living room. Haneul sees the four guys in the kitchen putting the goodies out of their bags. Haneul helps with the putting the goodies out and sorts them in the fridge. After a little while, they were finally done and the five of them went back to the living room.

The four quickly passed by Haneul to sit in their seats before leaving no room for Haneul. Haneul looks for a spot but to no luck there wasn't any left. Haneul was standing there sulking, when Chanyeol did a motion with his hand to make Haneul come over. Haneul caught it and saw Chanyeol tapping his lap.

Haneul moves closer to Chanyeol and Chanyeol pulls her gently onto his lap as his arms around her waist while Haneul's back is laid on his chest. Haneul felt comfortable and began to relax as they watch tv shows.

While they were watching tv and also talking to each other, Haneul fell into a deep slumber in the arms of Chanyeol. Chanyeol felt Haneul's head lean into his neck and felt her steady breathing. Is she sleeping? Chanyeol nudges the person next to him which was Kris. "Hyung, is she sleeping?" Chanyeol says in a whisper when Kris turns to look at Chanyeol then at Haneul.

"Yeah. She looks cute sleeping, too." Kris says a bit loud which made everyone else hear it and turns to look at what's happening. They saw Haneul sleeping soundly in Chanyeol's arms, looking like an innocent baby. They all start to admire Haneul's sleeping figure as Rey then claps her hands seeing that it's getting late already.

"Let's get to bed. Haneul is already sleeping so we should too." Rey says as she gets up and D.O gets up after her and nods his head towards his members. The members begin to get up and get ready to get out while Chanyeol was trying to carry Haneul's sleeping figure in his arms being careful as to not wake her up.

While Chanyeol was carrying her bridal style, walking to her room with the others following close behind, Haneul wraps her arms around Chanyeol's neck and nuzzles her head in between his shoulder and neck. Chanyeol felt a shiver going down his body as she did this. Chanyeol got inside her room and puts her on her bed but there was a problem.

Haneul wouldn't let go of Chanyeol. "You're going to have to sleep beside her, Chanyeol oppa. Once Haneul has her arms around your neck when she sleeps she never lets go." Rey says as she shivers while hugging herself remembering the times Haneul did the same thing to her.

"Oh, boy." Suho says as he looks at Haneul not letting go of Chanyeol. "As long as nothing bad will happen, and I mean you, Chanyeol-ah." Suho says which Chanyeol looks at Suho with a shocked expression not believing what Suho said. "Hyung." Chanyeol lets out in disbelief. "I'm not like that." Chanyeol tries to explain his part but Suho ignores it.

"Its a good thing you're wearing something to sleep on." Suho says which Chanyeol sighs in defeat as he begins to lay beside Haneul, making himself comfortable as Haneul pulls him closer. "I'll be staying, too." D.O says as he stands next to Rey. "Yah, what did you just say?" Rey asks D.O. Then, Rey was about to say more but he just nudges her to be quiet.

"No, this should not be-" "I'll stay, too!" "Me, too!" The rest of the members say and Suho just sighs and lowers his head. "Okay, fine. We're all staying." Suho says which made the members cheer and their cheering made Haneul stir in her sleep with a scrunched up expression. Chanyeol saw this, panicking.

"SHHHH! You're going to wake her up." Chanyeol says a little loud so his members can hear. The members shut up, worried that Haneul could wake up. "You guys can use the spare rooms. plus you guys should change into something more comfortable. I'll wait for you guys." Rey says as she walks out to go to the living room, to wait for them to come back, with D.O trailing behind her.

The rest of the members begin to pile out of Haneul's bedroom, leaving Chanyeol. Chanyeol lays there beside Haneul as he wraps her in his arms. Haneul then snuggles into Chanyeol's arms liking the feeling as she sleeps. As Chanyeol was beside her with her in his arms, he continues to look at her to admire her features till he slept.

The members came back after a few minutes after changing into something comfortable. After Rey lets them in, she closes the door and locks it. Rey then shows them the spare rooms which can fit 5 people each due to the king sized beds in each and two more beds next to the king sized bed.

"Damn." Tao says as he saw the bedrooms. "This room was next to ours all along and it fits more than all of us. I wish Mr. Lee gave this room to us instead when we were trainees." Tao says. "Well, you guys can move and sleep here anytime if you want. Me and Haneul don't mind at all." Rey says which made Tao smile. "Really?" Tao says which Rey nods her head.

"I'll move here tomorrow." Tao says as the other members were admiring the bedrooms. "How about we sleep here every night? I mean it would be good for the girls as well so we can protect them while we're at it." Suho says which his members agree with him. Starting tomorrow and onwards, they'll be staying in Rey and Haneul's dorm room to hang out and sleep.

Everyone starts to get into their preferred room and got ready to sleep while Rey walks to her room with D.O trailing behind her. Rey notices this and stopped in her tracks making D.O bump into her like a lost puppy. Rey turns around and pokes D.O's chest. "What are you doing, mister?" Rey asks.

"I want to sleep beside you." D.O says with a smile that made Rey melt at the sight. She didn't say anything else as she blushed and quickly walks to her room. D.O finds this cute and followed her.

That night, everyone slept peacefully and tightly.
