Xiumin looks at the two guys left and right.

Luhan turned his look to Xiumin when the guy in the middle snatched his wrist back.

Luhan is utterly shocked...

...and

maybe hurt.

================================

Luhan stared at Xiumin. Swallowing hard.

Chunji looks at Xiumin as well.

Right after Xiumin snatched his wrist back, he removed Chunji's grip around his arm.

"Why do you guys always fight?"

Xiumin looked at the two stilled guys.

"I heard from students that you used to be so-"

Before Xiumin could finish his sentence, Chunji pulled him and enveloped him in a tight embrace.

Xiumin's so shocked to move or say a word.

Luhan's eyes went wide and without thinking twice, he separated the two and gave Chunji a punch in the jaw making him step backward maintaining his balance.

"You fucker!"

"Luhan! Stop. Don't fight."

Xiumin tried to stop but Chunji attacked Luhan with a kick making the other grab his stomach and groan in pain.

"Oh my God. Please stop. Chunji! Luhan!"

Xiumin knows better not to get close to any of the two.

Luhan once again moved forward and grabbed Chunji's collar, the other did the same.

"Stay away from him! Don't you fucking dare touch him!" –Luhan

"Make me! Why don't you leave instead?" –Chunji

"Xiumin's our member. Back off you shit!" –Luhan

"Guys, please. Let's stop this."

"He is our member!"

Chunji retorted ignoring Xiumin's words.

The two grabbed each other tighter and ready to punch until few hands and arms stops and pulled them away from each other.

"What are you thinking?!"

Kris obviously mad at what they saw asked in a loud voice.

Kris turned to Luhan who still had his eyes on Chunji, returning his glare.

"Chunji! You should know better not to do this shit!"

More and more students crowded the hallway.

"Let's go. Let's talk this in our place."

Kris sternly stated eyeing Luhan.

Luhan ignored him and looked at Xiumin who had his head down.

Luhan grabbed Xiumin's hand only to be swatted away.

Xiumin looked up with teary eyes.

"I'm sorry."

That's all what Xiumin said before running away from the scene.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Teen top's place

"What the fuck was that?!"

Niel furiously asked.

"Chunji, you know what will happen. You fucking know what's gonna happen after this!"

L.Joe grabbed Chunji's collar but he didn't bother stopping his friend.

"That's enough. Hyung, let's talk about it."

Ricky who's also mad tried to stay calm.

"There's no point talking about it! This will get to our parents and grandfathers and they would do the punishment!"

Chunji shouted.

"I'm sorry."

Chunji bowed his head.

"You're sorry is of no use now." –CAP

"I know."

Chunji closed his eyes tightly. Half of him regrets what happened but half of him is saying he did the right thing.

EXO-M's place

"Speak! Your bullshit's gonna come after this, Luhan."

Chen gritted his teeth.

"I know."

"You knew but why did you still do it?"

Lay calmly asks.

"I...donot know. He just gets on my nerves."

"Hyung! They always get on our nerves but we always do our best not to go into a fight because of the contract." –Tao

"Now what do we do? EXO-K will be affected by this as well." –Chen

"Fuck."

Luhan muttered.

Kris dialed something on his phone and had a phone call. Others did the same thing.

Everyone sighed.

"They already knew. Our cards are cut. My maid even informed me they took the cars out. So basically, we don't have enough money until they decide to reconnect our cards back."

Kris started.

"We don't have cars either, bikes and other things." –Lay

"So we're going to stay in that house again?"-Tao

"Yeah. Live like a normal person. No money. No cars. No maids. Just by ourselves."

Luhan answered.

Chen sighed.

"We had this before and I said I never wanna do this again but here we are."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Somewhere in Seoul...

"Don't you think this is a bad time to give them the punishment?" –Sooman

"We simply follow the contract. They wouldn't learn if we let this pass." –Mr. Xi

"They fought because of the kid. I guess that's something. Haha." –Mr. Lee

"They'll be in trouble." –Sooman

"Why'd you worry, Sooman? You even ordered SJ to prioritize Youngmin and not Xiumin." –Mr. Lee

"But that doesn't mean we can neglect Xiumin's safety. I maybe the boss, but we all know Heechul can be mad." –Sooman

"Let the kids solve it. I trust my grandsons and their groups. Let's just hope we won't lose lives this time." –Mr. Xi

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

XIUMIN

I ran away.

Yes, all I could do is run away.

This mess is all because of me. If I didn't stick with any of them they won't be fighting.

I decided to go to the park after running away from school.

"The contract."

I remember there would be a punishment when they fight.

I massaged my head and stood up from the bench.

"Hey, are you okay?"

My eyes went wide.

"What- what are you doing here? Why did you follow me?"

"Huh? I didn't. Ren by the way."

I looked at the guy in front of me.

He looks like Luhan.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I guess. Xiumin's my name. Sorry, I thought you're someone I knew."

"I hear that often. Anyway, nice meeting you. I'll get going."

Ren then waved and left.

What is happening to me?

Is it just me or I am seeing people like Luhan today.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What are you doing here? They already sent your things to that house."

"Shut up, Ren."

"Why'd you get into a fight with Chunji when you knew this would happen?"

"Shut the fuck up, will you?"

"Because of Xiumin? I see."

Silence.

"Keep your word. Now, I can't protect him with my state. I'm more broke than a beggar. Bullshit."

"Oh ow. Don't exaggerate my twin brother. You still have money and house to stay in."

"Lend me your card."

"Nope. I wouldn't be risking my wealth as an individual."

"Wow, thanks for the concern, Ren."

"I'll talk to grandpa."

"You think he'll listen to you? Hah, nice try bro."

"Shut up, Luhan. I have better grades than you!"

The twins shared a knowing look and smirked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Holyshit!"

"What the fuck?!"

Both parties exclaimed once they open the new house.

"What the fuck are you doing here?"

Luhan snapped.

"I should be asking you that!" –Chunji

"Guys, look!"

Ricky pointed at a note on the table.

EXO-M, Teen Top,

The punishment will be changed. You'll get you cards, money, cars and other things back. But you'll stay in this house together without fighting.

Everyone groaned and showed disagreement and dissatisfaction.

Luhan quickly dialed.

(Hey, bro, you're welcome.)

"What the fuck is this, Ren?"

(Aigoo, you should be thanking me now and not cursing. At least you got your things back, right?)

"But living with them would be a fucking bullshit decision."

(Say that to grandpa. Bye~)

Toot toot toot...

"Hello?! Hello?! Ren you shit!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXO-M and Teen top got no choice but to live together in a big house.

Now, lines all over the house can be seen.

They just literally divided the house. Scheduled housework, unwillingly. That's it.

"Hey! I'm still watching that movie!" –Tao

"It's already my time to watch!" –Changjo

"Go somewhere else in this house. The terrace is mine for the next 20 minutes!" –Niel

"You only have 15 minutes left, you punk!" –Chen

"Stop eating! I already finished washing the dishes!" –Lay

"I'm hungry that's why I'm eating. Now, just do your job and wash this!" –L.joe

Ricky is in Teen top's room sleeping. But not after throwing some of the chocolate wrappers in EXO-M's room.

"You fucker! This is my side and you shouldn't walk here!" –Kris

"You stepped on my side first, fucker!" –CAP

Well, the leaders we're bickering the narrow space on the hallway, which has a yellow line in the middle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2 weeks have passed and both groups still had to live together.

2 weeks have passed and Xiumin still ignored all of them. Only Kiseop hanging out with him. Having video calls with UKISS sometimes.

2 weeks have passed and Nu'est already had been in small fights with some Greeks' members.

2 weeks have passed and SJ's been stalking and investigating things about Youngmin. Heechul focusing more on Xiumin.

2 weeks have passed and the big bosses are starting to feel the pressure.

2 weeks have passed and a smirk never left a man's face while watching the young man not so far away from him.

2 weeks have passed and everything will change...

...as the real war begins.

========================================

I'm quite excited for the next chapters. But also trying to figure out how to put all the things in my mind in order.

See you then ;)
