Lay's POV

I watched the door intensely, waiting for the girl to pounce in. I glanced up at the wall clock hanging above her bed, to see the perfect time for her to come back from school.

"When do you guys think she'll be ba—" just when I asked the boys loitering around, the door of the apartment was smacked open and inside came a panting Hani. She shot us quick grins before closing the door, dropping the –seemingly- heavy bags of food in her hand on the floor. Before I could ask her if she were alright, she dropped herself on her bed and moaned.

"Oh sweet home. School is getting on my last nerve," she said, her voice coming out muffled due to her face being buried in her fluffy pillow. She was honestly so adorable, like a child.

"Is it the physical training again?" Xiumin hyung snorted from the same chair he had fallen asleep at. Hani shot up in her bed to give him a large-eyed look, where he uncomfortably tried to avoid.

"You're awake?" then she took a whole scan on the room, finding both Sehun and Jongin awake, already feasting on the bags of food she brought. "Oh my god, you are all awake?"

"Yeah," Sehun answered distractedly while he was searching through the bags for something to eat, his face entirely stuffed inside. "We woke up after you went to school immediately. It was the best kind of sleep," even then, his voice was still rough, as if he just woke up from sleep. "I'm starving, all these hours sleeping had taken a toll on my body. I didn't even know we can get this hungry..," he continued to speak.

I looked back to Hani, finding her gaping at Sehun with her still wide eyes. She flickered her eyes to Xiumin Hyung and Kai, before flittering them to a yawning Chanyeol.

"Are you tired as well? Do you want to sleep?" she asked the silent boy, and Chanyeol immediately shook his head. He wiped his face with his hands as if he was wet, and then shot her a blinding smile while raising two thumbs up. He wasn't fooling anyone. Hani shifted her stare to Joonmyeon hyung pointedly, as if telling him something with her eyes only they could understand. Joonmyeon hyung simply looked away.

"Chanyeol, you can sleep if you want to, you know that, right?" she tried to reason, crawling off of her bed, wincing slightly when she pushed herself up with her arms. I could sense some tight muscles in her arms and shoulders, all the way to her back, and before she could walk to Chanyeol, I stopped in front of her.

"Lay!" she exclaimed, surprised at my sudden interruption. I gave her a gentle smile.

"I feel some tight muscles in your arms. Do you want me to heal you?"

"Oh," she blew understandingly, looking back at Chanyeol and then at me. "Okay. Chanyeol, come here please," she called, sitting down on the edge of her bed and beckoning Chanyeol to sit beside her. While I knelt in front of her and took her arms in my grasp. She shot me a mere glance before glancing at Chanyeol, who shuffled closer to her and subconsciously wrapped an arm around her waist to snuggle her closer to his body heat. Since he controlled the flames, he was immensely hot, just as Xiumin hyung was the coldest.

I could see him from the corner of my eyes rest his chin diligently on her shoulders, jutting his lips unconsciously. I saw Hani lean closer to mumble whatever she was thinking about in his ears, so only he could hear, and I saw Chanyeol's face morph into all kind of expressions. Their intimacy was kind of.. nice, a nice change, somehow, from the cold and raw way we are usually treated with.

I concentrated on stretching her muscles to return to a phase where it won't hurt, and won't slow out her progress in combat training. I sent a wave of energy as well, so she wouldn't drop down and groan all day on her bed. After I finished, I let go of her arms slowly, and once she noticed, she gave me a gentle smile, ruffling my hair, and stood up to stretch.
