The situation was more than awkward and cold. Luhan sat between Sehun and Hana, Christine sitting on the opposite site of him. She stared at him, a hateful expression in her eyes. If gazes could kill, Luhan definitely would be dead know. As she looked at Hana, her expression turned bitter and as she looked at Sehun, her expression turned sad.
