Chapter 1

Luhan opened the doors to one of the three biggest entertainment company buildings in Korea – SM Entertainment. “Ah, it’s good to be back in Korea,” he thought to himself as he shot an angelic smile at the staff buzzing around the lobby. Wanting to surprise his members, he did not tell them that he had returned from China.

“Hey guys I’m-” his voice trailed off as he walked into the practice room. His smile vanished as the mysterious and calm boy in the practice room stopped dancing and looked at Luhan with a blank face, completely expressionless. “Who… who the heck are you?!” Luhan stuttered a little, shocked at the boy standing in front of him.

“Hi… I’m Oh Sehun,” the mysterious boy introduced himself with a lisp. “Your name is Oh Thehun?” Luhan tried his best to hold his laughter back as he asked. Sehun shook his head and sighed. He got out his notebook and a pen, and wrote, “I have a lisp. My name is Oh Sehun.”

“Oh, I’m terribly sorry! My name is Luhan and may I know why you’re here?” Luhan asked. He thought he was staring at his reflection. “I’m going to be part of EXO,” Sehun replied coldly. “Cool, so we’re in the same team. By the way, am I hallucinating?” Luhan shot Sehun another question.

“No, I’m real. Not a figment of your imagination. Hi there,” Sehun waved his hand in front of Luhan’s face. “By the way, if you’re looking for the other members, they’re back at the dorm because practice ended earlier today. I’m just practicing more because our debut is coming really soon and I’m still pretty new here,” Sehun added.

“Thank you for the information. I’m going to go back to the dorm now, you coming?” Luhan asked as he wanted to get to know his new teammate better. It’s not like you get to meet someone that looks like you every day.  “Sure, I’ll tag along. Hold on, let me change first,” Sehun replied and went into the toilet with his sling bag.

When Sehun got out of the toilet, he asked Luhan, “I’m a 94-liner, are you older or younger than me?” “I’m older, a 90-liner,” Luhan replied. “That’s cool, hyung, that’s cool,” Sehun replied and commenced the use of formalities.
