Sehun was acting strange, Joonmyeon decided, very, very strange. He kept sending the leader sideways glances and offering to do the dishes. Sehun hated doing dishes. In fact, they were all behaving very well. Even Kyungsoo was refraining from hitting Baekhyun, and Baekhyun and Chanyeol were refraining from misbehaving. They must’ve been talking too loud for Kyungsoo’s taste (he hadn’t beat them up in nearly a week, so he was very on edge), as his fists were clenched under the table. And none of them had mentioned “December 2014”, which had been all they could talk about for the last two weeks. He slammed his utensils down on the table, which made them all jump. Chanyeol cursed quietly as he hit his knee on the table, then blushed and apologized.
“What’s going on? You’re all acting really strange. You have been all week.” Immediately, about seventeen excuses flew from the five other men at the table. Baekhyun yelped - Kyungsoo had kicked him - and they all shut up.
“It’s nothing, hyung. If you’re done, I’ll take your plate and you can go get some sleep. You look exhausted.” The second eldest took his empty plate off the table and gestured down the hallway with his head.
“I’m fine, Baekkie. I guess I’ll be in the living room.” He watched his group members gather the dirty plates and takeout boxes before traipsing to the living room. He plunked on the couch and pulled a blanket over his feet. He could hear the members whispering in the kitchen, and strained his ears to hear them.
“I wanted to watch a movie, hyung,” Sehun was whining.
“Then watch on your laptop. Joonmyeon hyung most certainly doesn’t need you bothering him,” Kyungsoo hissed back. Sehun tromped down the hallway to his room and returned with his computer.
“I’m going to M’s dorm. They probably have someone who will watch a movie with me.”
“I’ll watch with you, Sehunnie.” He turned toward Joonmyeon.
“No, that’s okay, hyung. You need your rest.” The maknae sent a glare towards Kyungsoo before leaving the dorm.

“Xing-ge! Will you shower with me?” Minseok just barely caught Yixing rolling his eyes and sending him a backwards glance before walking down the hall to join Tao.
“Yixing, I can if you or Jongdae don’t want to,” he piped up.
“No, that’s fine, ge. You’ve been working hard these last few days. You should at least be able to shower alone and take as much time as you need.” Yixing disappeared into the bathroom as Sehun stormed into the dorm.
“Where’s Zitao?” Minseok pointed behind him down the hall as he turned the page of his book. Sehun pouted.
“He said he would watch a movie with me.”
“I’ll watch with you. What movie is it?” Sehun stood up, shaking his head.
“No, hyung, you should be able to relax without me bothering you. Yah! Kim Jongdae!” Minseok sighed and returned to his novel. It wasn’t even that good of a book anyway. His phone buzzed and he dug it out of the couch.
Can you come over here, hyung?
I need you.
“Guys, I’m headed over to the K dorm. Joonmyeon needs me for something.” He groaned internally at the possibly of more work to do. This was one of the moments when he both hated and appreciated Yifan. The Chinese leader had done so much behind the scenes work that he hadn’t even known of, but now that was all on his shoulders. It wouldn’t have been so bad if he had been able to go to Han for help, but he had left, too.
“Joonmyeon, where are you?”
“I-In here, hyung,” he heard from the living room of the K dorm. He found the leader curled up on the couch. Suddenly, work disappeared from his mind.
“Joonmyeon-ah, what’s wrong?”
“Wh-Where did I g-go wrong, hyung? Where did I f-fail as a l-leader?” Minseok sat next to him and Joonmyeon clung to the older singer.
“What are you talking about? You’re an amazing leader! You always have been!”
“Th-Then how come they d-don’t want to be ar-round me? They n-never listen to me.” Minseok felt a pang. Both parts of the group were acting the same.
“They’re up to something. Jongdae, Yixing, and Zitao are doing the same thing, unless they’re just outright rejecting me. I mean, I know I’m no Yifan, but I’m doing my best.” Suddenly, the door to the dorm burst open.
“Are you two nuts?” was the first thing that popped out of Chanyeol’s mouth, causing Kyungsoo to hit him in the chest.
“Hyungs...we weren’t trying to ignore you. You’ve been working so hard lately. We decided to take care of the chores so that you two could get some rest. We know that neither of you has been sleeping very well since May, and definitely not since October, and we just wanted you to know how much we appreciate you.” Yixing stumbled a bit over the words, but did eventually get the sentences out. The other seven agreed with him.
“We love you both, and we’re really proud to have you as our leaders.”
