"The couple took part in a sensual photoshoot, showcasing the other side of their relationship. The two got intimate on camera, with deep, close touches-"

"Please stop..." Junmyeon weakly pleaded.

All nine members of EXO were currently in their dorm, eight of them huddled together on the couch and bending over a particular magazine that had just come out that day, listening to Jongdae reading the article out loud, while the member mentioned in the article was off to the side, face buried in his hands.

Jongdae ignored his leader and continued to read. "The couple also participated in an intimate interview, where they revealed details about their relationship previously not known to the public."

"Kim Jongdae, seriously, I'm begging you..."

Minseok took the magazine from the younger's hands and began flipping through the pictures. "These are incredibly good, Junmyeon-ah," he said.

Sehun reached out for the magazine, flipping back to the interview questions. "'When did you two first meet?' 'How much time do you spend together?' 'What sort of things do you talk about?'" he read some of the questions out loud. He then looked up at his members. "These questions though..."

"Read the answers, read the answers!" Yixing urged.

Sehun opened his mouth to read out the answers when Junmyeon stood up and shakily went inside. The members turned to look at the figure disappearing into his bedroom. "Wait, hyung!" Sehun yelled, getting to his feet. "You are the one who needs to hear these answers!"

"I don't want to!" The leader yelled.

"Let's go get him," Chanyeol said, having enjoyed this tremendously.

Six members followed their leader into his room, probably to prod and tease him about it a bit more. Jongin and Baekhyun stayed back in the living room though. Baekhyun opened up the packet of chips he had brought (his long deserved snack) and flipped through the channels before finally settling on some sort of documentary.

Jongin, in the meantime, went through the article once more, looking over the pictures, the questions and the responses. His eyes then fell onto a photo of Junmyeon and Eunji on the bed, her eyes tightly closed as he seemed to be teasing her. He, on the other hand, seemed pretty amused, a lovely smile on his face.

Jongin stared at the photo for a while, the wheels turning in his head. After a few moments, he turned to Baekhyun. "Hyung," he called.

"Hm?" Baekhyun hummed, mouth full of chips.

Jongin turned the magazine and showed the picture to the older. "Notice something wrong with this picture?" he asked.

Baekhyun looked at it for a moment. "What are you talking about, Jongin-ah?" he asked. "There's nothing wrong with that photo. It's just a normal one taken at a photoshoot."

Jongin shook his head. "I'm telling you, there's something wrong," he insisted.

"Are you sure you're not seeing things?" Baekhyun asked, worried for his junior. "Do you need rest?"

"I'm perfectly fine!" Jongin said. "But here, focus on hyung!"

Baekhyun looked back at the picture, sighing. "Alright, I'll humor you," he said. "But just know that I'm doing this because you're so insistent and not because-" He paused as he caught something in the photograph.

He straightened up, putting his packet away and took the magazine so he could look at it closer. He examined the evidence from a few different angles, even turning the magazine upside down, with the same result. He then looked up to Jongin who was looking at him with an "I told you so" look in his eyes.

"This...is..."

"Yeah, I know."

Baekhyun looked back down to the photograph and then back up at Jongin. "Are you sure about this?" he asked again.

Jongin pointed back down at the magazine. "The evidence is right there, hyung."

"But they were acting, it's all an act!"

"Hyung's not such a good actor."

"You never know, he surprised us when he appeared in that drama. Maybe he got good."

"Hyung, look back at it. Do you really think you can fake that?"

Baekhyun stared at the photo for a while, not saying anything. Jongin watched his older brother, waiting for a reaction of some sort.

The black haired idol finally looked up. "I'm...I'm not sure..."

Eunji leaned back against the chair and let out a deep sigh. "Ahh, this feels so good!" she said.

Naeun, who was sitting on the chair beside her looked up from her book, smiling. "I told you this was a good idea."

Eunji nodded. "I will never doubt you again."

Naeun beamed. "See? A spa day was what you needed."

The two idols were currently in a spa, having spent a couple of hours getting massages and treatments done. Now, the two were winding down with a pedicure.

Eunji took a deep breath. "It's been so long since I visited the spa."

"You've been working too hard," Naeun said. "You deserved a day off pampering yourself."

Eunji turned to her. "How do you do it?" she asked the younger girl. "You're able to keep up your much more hectic schedule and yet still visit the spa."

"Because I don't spend all of my off days with a certain someone." She was smirking at the older's gawking.

"Wha-what do you-I don't do that!"

"Oh yes, you do," Naeun leaned over the armchair a bit. "I know you've also passed up certain schedules to spend time with him because you don't get to see him all the time."

"I was genuinely sick..." Eunji said.

"Yeah, lovesick!" Naeun sang, laughing and drawing back as Eunji smacked her arm.

"I really was sick," the older idol murmured.

Naeun nodded. "I know, I know, Unnie," she said. "I was just teasing."

"You've been teasing me ever since that article came out."

Eunji sighed as Naeun chuckled. "We tease you because we don't often get the chance to tease you," she explained.

"I know, I tease the members myself," Eunji said. "That's why I don't mind it."

The two relaxed as the spa staff returned with new equipment: warm water and bath salts.

Naeun turned over to look at Eunji once again. Eunji felt a pair of brown eyes burning into her and turned. "What's wrong?" she asked.

Naeun shook her head. "Nothing," she said. "It's just...you look prettier than usual."

Eunji placed her palms on her face. "Do I?"

Naeun nodded. "That EXO's leader-nim better appreciate how much effort you're putting into taking care of yourself," she said. "When you next see him, he needs to tell you that you look prettier."

Eunji gave a laugh. "Why would he do that?" she asked. "Relax, Naeun-ah, I'm not in a hurry to get complimented."

"But it would be nice, wouldn't it?"

Eunji thought for a moment. She imagined Suho staring at her in awe, his mouth open and eyes wide. Then he'd smile like the gentleman he always was, come over to her, caress her face and tell her she looked beautiful before offering her a bouquet of flowers...

She shook her head and slapped her cheeks. What the hell was she thinking about?

"You just thought of him, didn't you?"

Eunji looked over at Naeun. "I...I didn't..."

Naeun smiled at her senior. "It's alright, Unnie."

Eunji shook her head. "No, really, Naeun-ah. I really don't like Suho-shi in a romantic way!"

Naeun placed her brown gaze on the older girl. "Not in a romantic way, huh?" she asked. "Does he know that?"

"Of course he does!" Eunji protested. "It was part of the deal."

"Maybe you should set the boundaries once more," Naeun suggested after a painful few moments. "Something tells me the lines are becoming blurred."
