“Please, son” begs his father, “just let me speak to you”

                “Get out…” growls Luhan. “

                “Look I just-“

                “Just want to what? Take me back home? You tried that, already”

                “Luhan, please.”

                “No, I can’t.” Luhan storms into his room. You could almost see the disdain in his slight steps.

                Luhan’s father lets out a sigh from the deep. Jong-in could swear he saw his eyes water, but that could have just been a trick of light. He apologises in Mandarin to Kris, and broken Korean to Jong-in and Chan-yoel before letting himself out. Silence bellows the room. Kris and Jong-in fall onto the couch, whilst Chanyoel heads to the kitchen.

                Jong-in knew that Luhan had family issues, but he never expected it to be this deep. He knew that the walls he just broke down to get closer to Luhan are right back up again. Probably even stronger than before.

                “Should I go in?” asks Jong-in, motioning to Luhan’s dorm room.

                Kris shakes his head slightly. “No. Not right now. I think he just needs some space”

                “You’re right,” he replied, questions throwing themselves against the inside of his head.

                Chanyeol walks in, jaw agaped and eyes glassed into his phone. “Guys, there’s something you may want to see.”
