THIRD PERSON POV

It's late in the afternoon

*Ding Dong*

Changmin opens the door, "Hey Jinki"

Onew smiles and Changmin lets him inside. Kyuhyun is in the living room playing with Minseok's cat, Tan. "Guess what. My baby is a blueberry," Onew announces

Kyuhyun and Changmin both knit their eyebrows. "Elaborate please," Kyuhyun says

"It's this app I downloaded that keeps you updated on your baby's progress. My baby is the size of a blueberry," Onew smiles

Changmin nods, "Oh, okay... totally not weird"

Minseok and Minho run downstairs. Onew smiles at Minho, "OH, Minho great news-"

"Can't talk right now. We gotta go," Minho grabs Minseok's and his jacket

"Bye," Minseok waves at them. Minseok and Minho leave the house in a rush. Changmin gets up. "Man, you made me crave for blueberries," he mutters as he heads to the kitchen

Onew shrugs off the fact that Minho practically dissed him. "Hey, where's Mark?" Onew asks

"Went out with his friends. Probably gonna find something to smoke," Kyuhyun says as he continues to play with the cat

Onew knits his eyebrows, "I thought he was grounded"

Kyuhyun nods, "Yeah, he got permission from his dad. Just like Minseok, he used the puppy eyes to get what he wants"

"Can I play with his hamster?"

"Yeah, he's upstairs. Mark probably forgot to feed him again. Let's go check up on him," Kyuhyun gets up

Changmin enters the living room and sees them going upstairs, "Hey, wait for me"

Kyuhyun, Onew, and Changmin enter the room and Onew immediately goes to Mr. Whiskers while the other two lay on the bed and look up the ceiling. A minute later they hear a notification ring. Quickly they all check their phones

"Not mine," Kyuhyun mutters

"Same," Changmin and Onew both say. The notification bell goes off again. Kyuhyun turns to Mark's desk

"It's Marks phone," Kyuhyun says. "He left it behind... how does one do that?"

Changmin gets up and checks Marks phone. Onew jaw drops. "You can't do that!" Onew yells

"Why not," Changmin asks

"It's a total violation of privacy!"

Changmin chuckles, "It's just his reminder to feed Mr. Whiskers. Nothing else"

"What if you find some dirt on what he's doing today," Kyuhyun say as he pets Tan, who is sitting on his lap. Changmin looks back at the phone, "Ugh, he has a password- why does he need a password!"

"Try boobies," Onew says. Kyuhyun and Changmin look at Onew. Onew shrugs, "What. When I was his age, I still thought I was straight and I liked the word boobies-"

"It's not boobies," Changmin claims

Kyuhyun chuckles, "Try Watermelon"

Changmin facepalms, "Really-"

"The kid loves watermelons... I am the only one that has noticed?" Kyuhyun defends himself. Changmin types watermelon and the phone unlocks, "The fuck..."

Kyuhyun cheers, "Ooh, yes. I'm right"

"Okay, this is his private phone guys. Just want it to go on record that this is wrong," Onew mutters while holding Mr. Whiskers

"You want me to stop?" Changmin asks. Onew mildly shakes his head. "I just want it on the record," Onew mutters

Changmin goes on Mark's messenger app and checks his group chats. "There's gotta be something here. Just some clue," Changmin mutters. The messenger bell rings and they all jump

"Oh whoa, what's that," Changmin says. Onew and Kyuhyun get up and walk over to stand on Changmin's side. Onew on the left and Kyuhyun on the right, all of them looking at the phone

"Oh, someone is messaging you," Kyuhyun mutters

"Someone named Sweetandnastee? They think you're Mark" Onew says

"Oh." Changmin then reads the message, "Mark? What r u doin?"

"Just get out- get out!" Kyuhyun yells

"Yeah, you gotta bail, man," Onew agrees

"No- no- no- no. This sweetandnastee person might be able to give us the clue we need," Changmin argues

Another message arrives. Changmin reads the new message, "Yo, Mark. R U there?" Changmin sighs and starts typing, "Yes... just hanging... you know, keeping it... fresh."

"Keeping it fresh?" Onew knits his eyebrows

Changmin nods, "Yeah- yeah, that's what all the kids are saying these days"

Kyuhyun shakes his head, "No, they're not"

Onew agrees, "Yeah, that's old school, Chang. Now the kids are saying spank. You know, like, 'Yo, let's spank' man"

Kyuhyun looks at Onew, "No, they're not"

Onew looks at Kyuhyun, "They will be"

Another message arrives and they all focus on the phone again. Changmin, once again, reads the message, "I finally got that dragon tattoo on my butt"

Another message arrives so Changmin continues, "Now we're like twins." Changmin's eyes widen.

Onew looks at Changmin, "Mark has a tattoo on his butt?! Just like Minseok!"

Kyuhyun looks at Changmin, "Have you ever checked his butt?"

"How am I supposed to check on his butt?" Changmin argues

"So, you're just supposed to sit back and not check his butt. You are his hyung"

"Hold on- hold on. Okay, Imma find out what's going on," Changmin starts typing on the phone, "Anything going on tonight?"

A message immediately arrives. Changmin reads it, "U R coming to the nightclub, right?"

Changmin and Kyuhyun look at each other. "Night Club?" they both say. Onew nods, "Let's go. Let's go to the club." Sweetandnastee sends them the address and a password, and soon after they leave the house

*Ding Dong*

Bom opens the door and sees Chanyeol outside, "Chanyeol? What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to see Baekhyun," Chanyeol says

"I um- Okay, come in. He- he's upstairs," Bom watches him go up the stairs, puzzled since she knows how bad the break up was and considering Baekhyun is with Kris. Chanyeol knocks on Baekhyun's door. Baekhyun opens the door and smiles when he sees Chanyeol on the other side, "Park, what are you doing here?"

"I missed you," Chanyeol kisses the little blonde

Baekhyun laughs, "What do you mean. You sleep over every night now"

Chanyeol looks into Baekhyun's eyes, "But then you're with Kris all day at school-"

"You know why... I've told you, I love you. I have no feelings for Kris anymore"

"I rather have you show me then tell me," Chanyeol smirks then leans down to kiss Baekhyun once again

Baekhyun wraps his arms around Chanyeol and deepens the kiss. Chanyeol's phone rings and the two break the kiss

"Sorry," Chanyeol mutters and checks his phone, it's Mr. Jongwoon

"Who is it?"

"Mr. Jongwoon," Chanyeol tells him

"Answer it. It might be important"

Chanyeol smiles, "Thanks"

He answers the phone and Mr. Jongwoon asks if he can come over and apologizes for it being last minute. Chanyeol agrees and hangs up, "Baekkie, I have to go see Mr. Jongwoon... Wanna come?"

Baekhyun shakes his head and rolls his eyes, "I have to go to Kris' party"

"When is that?"

Baekhyun sighs, "8"

"We'll be back in time for you to get ready. Come on," Chanyeol grabs Baekhyun's hand and they head out

They arrive at Jongwoon's house and ring the doorbell. Jongwoon answers the door and smiles at them, "Hey, Chan... hey, Baekhyun"

"It's okay that Baekhyun came, right?"

Jongwoon nods, "Yeah- yeah, come in"

They enter and find Junmyeon sitting on the couch. "Oh, what's going on. An intervention?" Chanyeol asks

"Oh no," Jongwoon says then looks at Baekhyun.

"Hey, where's Chenle," Chanyeol asks

"He's upstairs with his friend, Jisung... Chenle has had a rough week," Jongwoon says. Chanyeol knits his eyebrows.

"Let me explain," Jongwoon starts:

****EARLIER THAT WEEK ****

Jongwoon is in Chenle's school, in the principal's office with Chenle sitting next to him

"Mr. Kim, Chenle has been extremely disruptive in class and we're all a bit concerned," the principal tells Jongwoon

"Oh, well he's been just fine at home," Jongwoon claims

"Chenle, tell your father what you told your teacher," the principal says

Jongwoon turns to Chenle. Chenle pouts, "I'm possessed by Satan"

Jongwoon's eyes widen and he looks at the principal

****PRESENT TIME****

Baekhyun's jaw drops. Chanyeol eyes widen, "Possessed by Satan?"

"He's not really," Jongwoon explains

Chanyeol knits his eyebrows, "Good to know"

"That's not why I called you. Junmyeon just wants some company that's all," Jongwoon says

Baekhyun goes up to Junmyeon, "Hey... We never get to talk anymore"

Junmyeon nods, "Yeah... you're always with him... Kris... "

"Yeah, I know you guys had a thing-"

"I really don't wanna talk about him. We asked Chanyeol to come over, not because I needed the company, but to talk about Onew's pregnancy"

Baekhyun's eyes widen, "Oh, yeah. He texted me this morning that his baby is as big as a blueberry today"

Chanyeol pouts, "O... Onew updates you on the baby?"

Baekhyun nods, "Yeah. Everyday"

Chanyeol frowns, "Jongwoon?"

"Every day," Jongwoon says. The door opens and Ryeowook comes in with a guest, excited, "Hey, Babe-babe-babe. Guess who the cat dragged in"

Jongwoon sees the guy with Ryeowook and smiles, "Choi Siwon?!"

Siwon laughs. Jongwoon goes up to Siwon and hugs him, "Oh my god! Look at you! You son of a bitch." Jongwoon playfully hits him. "How the hell are you. What have you been doing?"

Siwon smiles, "I'm a priest"

Jongwoon laughs, "The hell you are"

Siwon takes off his scarf and Jongwoon sees the clerical collar. Jongwoon eyes widen, "Wow"

Ryeowook takes Siwon's coat and puts it on the coat rack

"Nobody ever believes I'm a priest," Siwon mutters

Jongwoon chuckles, "Well you didn't always act so priest-y"

"I know what you mean," Siwon chuckles

"Hey- hey -hey. Siwon, come with me to the kitchen. Babe, he's gonna help me get back at Junsu from work," Ryeowook tells Jongwoon

Siwon stops Ryeowook, "You know, Ryeowook. When you phrase it like that it makes me feel uncomfortable"

"Ah man, we're gonna destroy him!" Ryeowook punches the air

Siwon holds Ryeowook, "Okay stop"

Chenle and Jisung come downstairs. Chenle stops when he sees Siwon, "A priest... I knew it." Chenle turns to his dad, Jongwoon, and whines, "But you said I wasn't possessed"

Ryeowook rolls his eyes, "You're not"

"Then why's a priest here!"

Jongwoon puts an arm around Chenle and leads him to Siwon, "Chenle, he's an old friend of ours, Siwon. Now you kids, go upstairs. Go"

Chenle pouts, "But... I can't be alone... That when the demons tell me to do things"

Chanyeol covers his mouth because he wants to laugh. Junmyeon's eyes widen. "Ok, go. Go," Jongwoon shoos him away

Ryeowook smirks at Jongwoon, "Babe, why don't you tell the good priest why our son's imaginary friend is named Beelzebub-"

"Honey- honey, it's no big deal. Okay, so the other day I was trying to get some work done but Chenle wanted to go out cuz he was bored. So, I figured I put on some tv for him to keep him quiet. But there was nothing good on the tv so I put on a movie"

"What movie did you put on?" Siwon asks

Jongwoon rolls his eyes, "The Exorcist"

"My sleep routine was ruined," Ryeowook explains:

****EARLIER THAT WEEK ****

Jongwoon and Ryeowook are lying on the bed in the middle of the night, same day Chenle watched the movie

"Do you ever think before you act?" Ryeowook mutters.

"It was the only movie that didn't look stupid on tv," Jongwoon tries to defend himself

Ryeowook whines, "Can we at least turn off the light-"

"No!" Chenle whines. He slept with parent's that night, between them. Holding onto his blanket as if his life depended on it

****PRESENT TIME****

Chanyeol looks at Jongwoon, "Are we sure he isn't possessed?'

Ryeowook looks at Chanyeol, "Yes"

"Because often when I visit it gets cold in here for no reason," Chanyeol explains

Jongwoon shakes his head, "I turn the thermostat down"

Chanyeol points at Jongwoon, "And who's making you do it!"

Jongwoon shakes his head and Ryeowook takes Siwon to the kitchen, away from the crazies. Chenle and Jisung head back down to the living room to go get some water. Jongwoon is with Chanyeol, Junmyeon, and Baekhyun, all of them sitting on the couch while Jongwoon sits on his Lazyboy. Jongwoon calls him, "Hey, Chenle. Order some pizza since Ryeowook's not cooking tonight"

Chenle turns to his dad and speaks in a very raspy voice, "Chenle's not here"

Jongwoon rolls his eyes, "Okay. Satan is not speaking through you"

Chenle shrugs and continues with the raspy voice, "I just wanna know what it's gonna sounds like when he starts"

Jisung smiles and joins. "Hey, this is kind of cool," he says with a very raspy voice

Chenle points at Jisung, "Shut up. You're not possessed. I am." They leave and head to the kitchen

Minho checks his phone and sees Baekhyun's text, telling Minho he's no longer going to Kris' party tonight. Minho feels relieved and turns to Minseok, "Let me drop you off. My evening plans just got canceled"

"Okay," Minseok agrees. Minho starts the engine and takes Minseok to Jimin's house. Minho finds Minseok's silence out of character so he's concerned, "Everything alright, Min? You're so quiet?"

Minseok smiles, "I uh. I was thinking about the letter... Jongdae says he's never been so happy and that he hopes that I'm over him because he's over me... what did I ever see in him..."

Minho shakes his head, "Can we not talk about him. He's such an asshole. How can he say those things to you? If it were me- I would never let go of such an amazing person-"

"To be fair I did cheat on him-"

"He was willing to forgive you so he shouldn't be acting like the victim anymore. You're amazing Minseok. It's his loss."

Minseok smiles at Minho's words, "You're only saying that because I'm your best friend"

"Regardless. You're the most amazing person I have ever met and nobody will ever be good enough for you," Minho says. Minho parks the car on the street since they're at the destination

Minseok looks at Minho, "You... you really mean that?"

Minho nods and smiles at Minseok. Minseok was about to say something but Minho interrupts, "You better get going on your date. I should probably go and... you know, check on Onew."

Minseok's smile disappears and mentally slaps himself. Idiot. He's having a baby. With the person HE LOVES AND LIVES FOR, Onew

"Ya- yeah. Thanks for the ride," Minseok unlocks the door and steps out. "Bye"

Minho watches his friend leave and thinks about Minseok's strange behavior. "Tsh, what drugs is he on now," he mutters as turns on the engine again. The car starts but Minho just stares at the dashboard. Something in his gut is telling him to stay close to Minseok's side. But why?

Changmin pulls over on the curb. "This is the address," Kyuhyun confirms on the passenger side

"It's a dry cleaners," Changmin mutters as they look at the sign, "Kim's Dry Cleaners"

The three get out of the car. Onew gasps, "I bet the kids get all messed up on cleaning chemicals... And then they put on other people's clothes." He giggles

"That's sick," Kyuhyun mutters. Onew smiles, "That's brilliant"

They enter the cleaners and look around. Everything seems normal. Two registers up front and you can see racks of jackets, dresses, and uniforms hanged in the back. Changmin whispers to them, "I don't see a party"

"It's probably down in a basement or something. That's what the password is for," Onew says

Changmin nods and just then a middle-aged man comes from the back to the register. "Can I help you?" the man asks

"Oh, yeah. Hey, um." Changmin starts, "You know I just wanted to get some stuff dry cleaned and um. you know, pumpkin."

The man knits his eyebrows, "What"

"Pumpkin," Onew says then winks

"Why did you just wink at me," the man asks Onew

"Come on, we're down. Pumpkin," Kyuhyun says

"Okay, if any of you call me pumpkin again. I'm gonna slap you," the man threatens

"Hey, buddy. If you look at your list. You'll see we're on it," Changmin tells him

"Why don't you just tell me what day you dropped off," the man says

Changmin looks at Onew and Kyuhyun, "Dropped off? This guy- is- is some kind of a wise ass. What are you a wise ass?" Changmin asks the man

Kyuhyun tries to calm down Changmin, "Hey- hey- hey. No- no. I'll take care of it. Come on man. We just wanna party"

Onew jumps in, "We know you're sweetandnastee"

The man blinks twice, "Excuse me"

Kyuhyun nods, "Yeah, come on. You're sweetandnastee"

"We know you got a dragon on your ass," Onew says

The man has had enough, "Okay. Get out of my store"

Changmin yells, "OH! Oh, wait a minute, I get it. You just wanna party with underage kids"

"Now, you're calling me a pervert?" the man asks. "You guys are the are perverts"

"Hey, pal. Pal, we're all friends here... You got a nice place. I just hate to see someone mess it up," Kyuhyun knocks over a glass bottle of detergent on the floor. "Oh! Was that valuable?" Then Kyuhyun drops another one

"Now tell us where the action is," Onew says. The man looks at them, pissed

"Oh, now you wanna be the tough guy?" Changmin asks. The man gets a bat and walks over to them

"Run," Onew mutters and they run out of the store to Changmin's car

Siwon left the kitchen while Ryeowook stays to clean up. Siwon's in the living room. Chenle is lying on the couch. Jisung and Chanyeol are lighting up candles around Chenle while Baekhyun and Junmyeon watch from the floor and Jongwoon still on his Lazyboy, all of them wanting to laugh.

"Um, look. Exorcism is not part of my training. I uh... I think it's kind of old school," Siwon explains to Chanyeol

"Come on, Siwon. You'll really be helping out this child," Chanyeol tells him then winks. Siwon gives up, "Okay"

Jisung turns off the lights and Siwon begins, "Um." He does The Sign of the Cross. "By the power vested in me by um... the property of the Kim's." Baekhyun quietly chuckles. Siwon continues, "I hear by request that Satan vacant this... you know, boy"

Chanyeol picks up the beverage that was next to Jongwoon's side table and gives it to Siwon, "And here's the holy water"

Siwon takes it, "Ah." He puts his hand in the drink and then splashes it on Chenle faces. The water falls on Chenle's face. Chenle quickly covers his eyes and squirms, "AH! AH, it burns!"

Jongwoon grits his teeth and takes the cup from Siwon, "Hey, that was my V-V-Vodka"

Chenle stops squirming and looks up at the ceiling, "Did it work? Has Satan left my body?"

Baekhyun chuckles, "Yeah he bolted"

"Uh, Junmyeon. Why don't you wash off the holy water out of his eyes," Jongwoon asks. Junmyeon gets up and escorts Chenle to the kitchen, "Come on- come on, it's good. It's all over now"

Jisung follows them. Jongwoon leads Siwon to the door and gives Siwon his coat, "Well done, Father"

Siwon is still in shock, "I just threw vodka at a child's face"

"Well the lord works in mysterious ways," Jongwoon tells him. Chanyeol and Baekhyun watch Jongwoon walk Siwon to his car. Chanyeol checks the time on his watch, "Oh my god, Baek. It's past 8. Come on, let's hurry-"

"Chan, I know it's past 8 but I don't care. I wanna stay with you... all night," Baek gives Chanyeol a playful smile. Chanyeol gets the hint then wastes no time and drags Baekhyun out the door, not telling anyone they're leaving

Changmin unlocks the door, Kyuhyun, Onew, and Changmin enter the house.

"Mark really step over the line this time," Kyuhyun mutters

"I'm furious for you Chang," Onew tells Changmin

"I'm beyond furious," Changmin tells them. 

The door opens, Mark enters and sees the three on his way to the kitchen. He smiles and waves, "Hey everybody." He sneers at Changmin, "Hey, Changmin."

"Hey!" they all greet Mark. Mark walks past them and heads to the kitchen still smiling at them. Once he leaves, Changmin shakes his head, "He is in so much trouble-"

"Just wish we can tell him," Kyuhyun mutters. For a good ten minutes, Changmin walks back and forth in the living room while Onew and Kyuhyun watch him form the couch. They're thinking of how to confront the fifteen-year-old in the kitchen

"You know what, I've had enough. I'm gonna march in there and give him a piece of my mind," Changmin says. Onew nods, "Do it for all the older brothers! Always suck babysitting their siblings"

Kyuhyun and Onew clap as Changmin heads to the kitchen. Changmin enters the kitchen and goes straight to Mark who is eating a snack on the kitchen island. Mark looks up at Changmin, "Yeah, big brother?"

"Mark, I think we should talk about where you were tonight," Changmin starts

"I was at Jaehyun's," Mark plays as the innocent one, showing Changmin his puppy eyes

"I don't think so"

Mark pouts, "Why not? ...Could it be because you were in my room- You violated my privacy! You trampled my trust! CUZ YOU WERE IN MY ROOM!"

Changmin eyes widen and he thinks before he speaks, "Uh...no I wasn't"

Back in the living room, Kyuhyun and Onew were talking about Minho before Mark barges in with Changmin following him. Mark's furious, "You had no right to go in my room"

"Look, I'm your older brother. I can go into any room I want," Changmin claims. Mark leans against the bookshelf and crosses his arms, "Well then why don't you just go to my bathroom and flush your face"

Changmin chuckles at Mark's comeback, "You know what, If I choose to. I will. And on any bathroom in this house cuz, I CAN!"

Mark nods, "Go ahead"

Onew points at Mark, "Whoa, he's on something. I think he snorted up something"

Mark laughs, "That's it. I am done." He heads to the door but Changmin stops him, "Whoa! Freeze, right there."

Mark turns to Changmin. "I am not chasing you to any more nightclubs," Changmin says then looks at Kyuhyun and Onew. They all smile and nod. Mark tilts his head and squints his eyes, "What"

Kyuhyun nods, "We know all about it"

Mark hold in his laugh, "You actually went"

Changmin continues to nod. Onew and Kyuhyun knit their eyebrows and soon enough so does Changmin, "Of course I went I... what do you mean actually"

"I was at Jaehyun's house. Like I said," Mark explains:

****EARLIER THAT DAY****

Mark is in his friend's, Jaehyun, house accompanied by Lucas, Taeyong and Dong Si Cheng, but prefers to be called Winwin since middle school. Taeyong is on his phone, ignoring the others who are too loud in the room. He's on Jaehyun bed just chatting with Johnny who was the only one who couldn't get his parents to let him go out. Taeyong eyebrows knit, "Hey, Mark. This is weird. You're online. I thought you forgot your phone?"

Winwin and Jaehyun stop their video game. Mark pushes Lucas off him since they were wresting, "No. I'm not. I did forget it"

"Yes, you are. Your screen name popped up on my friends list. See. Foreignswagger2." Taeyong confirms

Mark gets up and goes to Taeyong, "No way. Ugh, somebody signed on with my name"

"No," Lucas says

"Yes," Mark corrects him then looks at Taeyong, "Send them a message: Mark, what are you doing"

The others get up and get behind Taeyong on the bed to look at the phone. Taeyong sends the message and they wait. "It's probably just a dumb glitch on the app," Mark explains

Winwin gets impatient, "They're not answering"

Jaehyun tells Taeyong, "Type: Are you there"

Taeyong types and sends the message. Lucas chuckles, "This is so freaking me out"

"Totally," Winwin agrees. A message finally arrives and Taeyong reads it, "Yes... just hanging... you know, keeping it... fresh."

"Oh my god... it's Changmin," Mark glares at the phone

"How do you know?" Jaehyun asks

"It's him," Mark confirms and remembers that on time when Changmin picked him up from school. An old classmate of Changmin's walked by them and asked Changmin what's up. Changmin nodded and said, "Nothing. Ah, you know. Keeping it fresh." Mark realized that day just how lame and dorky his brother is

"Should I sign off?" Taeyong asks

"No, give me the phone. Imma screw with him a little," Mark smirks

****PRESENT TIME****

Kyuhyun wrinkles his nose, "Taeyong is Sweetandnastee." Mark nods

"Aw man, I knew it," Onew says

"Oh. Whoa- whoa- whoa, wait. There was an address a-an- and a password to get in," Changmin mentions

Mark smiles, "Pumpkin?"

Changmin jumps, "Pumpkin! That's it! Exactly... oh." Changmin slaps his forehead. Mark chuckles, "I just made up an address at random"

"Well, there was something there," Changmin says then explains what three idiots did earlier that day at the cleaners.

Mark looks at Changmin, "So you harassed an innocent dry cleaner and damaged his property"

"Hey-hey-hey. He wasn't so innocent. He had a bat"

"We just harassed him," Onew mutters. Mark rolls his eyes, "You actually believe I would go for an hour-long drive to a nightclub? How stupid do you think I am?"

"I don't know. That's what we were trying to find out," Kyuhyun says

Changmin sigh, "Mark, we remember what it was like to be fifteen years old"

Mark raises his eyebrow, "You can't hold you against me... I've given you no reason to be so suspicious"

Changmin chuckles, "You literally tried to get high just last week"

Mark stays quiet. Changmin finally got him. Mark steps away from the bookcase, "Ugh... Fine... I'm sorry." Mark leaves the living room. All three watch him go upstairs and finally cheer about their victory
