“Lulu, it’s time to wake up. We don’t want to be late today.” Suho slowly shook the younger’s sleeping body, sighing as he received little response.  Sitting down near the Chinese boy’s body the elder Luhan’s hair out of his face as he slowly awoke.

“Five more minutes Appa.” Suho allowed a small chuckle to escape his lips as he reminded the boy of the special day.

“Be downstairs in ten minuets. Xiumin and Chen are already here and Kyungsoo is making breakfast for everyone ok.” Leaving the still laying boy, Suho retreated into his own room to ready himself for the emotional day. Once all was quiet Luhan sat up, his eyes caught the drops of rain on his window. Slowly sliding out of the protection of blankets, Luhan scoffed seeing the sky cry a bit harder.

“Is this you trying to make up for everything old man? Are you crying because you know this is all your fault?” As the rain continued to pound harder on the window, Luhan’s smirk did not leave his face. “Too bad old man. You ruined everything the day you laid a finger on her.” With no regrets the blinds cut through Luhan’s view of the pouring rain as he began to pull of his ironed tux.

At the Funeral

Luhan kept his head down, hiding the tears that spilled as Xiumin read his mother’s favorite poem in Chinese.

“As the rain falls we remember them. As the wind blows we remember them.” And of course, as Xiumin spoke, the wind cried out in sorrow and skies cried tears of sympathy. Xiumin paused for a second, allowing for the roar of the sudden wind to blow over before continuing his speech for his fallen surrogate mother. Tucking the poem back into his suit, Xiumin stepped away from the head of the tombstone, escorting the youngest for his own speech. Luhan stayed quiet for a bit, motioning for Chen to step forward to cover his head from the pitiful tears from heaven above before speaking in an accent that none of his guest could understand.

“Mother… you left… why didn’t you take me with you? Why must you suffer for his own faults. I hope you do not have to see him up there, or else all was in vain. I wish you were down here. Do you see how much I have accomplished? I might debut soon with the people who saved me after you unfortunately had to leave. I’m becoming the singer that you wanted to be. I met someone sweet. I…I really love him Mom… I just wished that you can meet him to scare him for fun.” A small chuckle escaped the his mouth as he can imagine his mother welcoming Sehun to his house with a rather sharp kitchen knife and sinister grin. Kneeling down, Luhan ran a wet hand over the engraving of the stone before placing a soft kiss on the wet rock. “I love you Mother. Please don’t forget that.” Stepping back, Luhan gave a small smile to his new family as he stepped into the warm arms of his appa. Chen stepped up, his voice soft as he spoke.

“I am sure you know this song for Luhan taught it to you, but this was the song Luhan’s mother sang to him as a little kid.

Baby don’t cry, tonight

When the dark night lit up

Baby don’t cry, tonight

Just treat it as if nothing happened

You will never be like foam

Don’t you know that

So baby don’t cry, cry”

My love will protect you and never let go” As he sang, those who knew the words mouth along, allowing Chen’s unique voice to enclose them in warmth. As he finished the group fell into a moment of silence for Luhan’s mother before Suho motioned for the group to begin to the car. As the left slowly, Suho turned back waiting for his son to finish placing the purple lilies on top of the small hump.

“Appa, let’s go home.” Giving a small nod, the eldest couldn’t help but notice the burning glare of hatred Luhan threw the tombstone right next to his mother’s.

With the Kings

The four boys were spread about Kai's living room, empty mindlessly watching the onslaught of rookie groups make debut after debut. 

"God how many rookie groups have debuted? How are we supposed to keep track of all of them?" Kris sighed as he saw yet another girl group open with an overly cutesy dance and way too autotune. "Yah maknae, go get me some water." However for the eldest, he wasn't served his water, but rather a swift kick to the face. 

"I'm not your slave, you have to legs, go get water yourself." The other two had, of course, busted into fits of laughter as Baekhyun pronounced that the elder did it incorrectly and proceeded to call Sehun, brat and demand food. However the triumphant smile on his face did not last long as he was victim to the same treatment as Kris, except it was a kick to a body part that he did not want to lose. "I'm not your slave either." Before the singer was able to shoot off a round of insults, Korea's number one girl group: F(X) began their comeback stage, much to the enjoyment of the four hormonal teenage boys.

"Dude, Krystal is so ing hot." Baekhyun stared at the group's maknae in awe as they began their song, his focus quickly shifting away from kill Sehun. As he was too wrapped up in the singer's dancing, he didn't notice the swift smack aimed at his head before it was too late. Kai's hand found it's target as he continued to condemn the boy for his lack of judgment as apparently Sulli was miles a head of Krystal. "Dude, not even comparing Krystal to Sulli is like comparing me to you." Baekhyun laughed at the double insult as he dared the younger to talk back. 

"So Sulli is obviously above Krystal?" Of course the self compliment did not come without a sly smirk from the youngest.

" YOU!" One word led to another and now the two were on the floor, biting, pulling hair and tumbling against each other.

"Well, this isn't what I expect to walk into my first day home." All head turned to the door as a new body stared at the two's rather compromising position for Kai had the younger pinned down, his own knee between the two's leg.

"HYUNG! YOU'RE HOME!" Immediately Kai untangled himself from Baekhyun just to jump on top of the new visitor, allowing his legs to wrap around the older's waist. "You're home earlier than you said!"

"Hi hyung!" A resounding cheer came from Baekhyun and Sehun as they barely gave a glance to the new body, but rather kept their eyes fixated on the five dancing girls.  Kris smiled, formally standing up to welcome his age equal into the house, which was a little difficult as Kai had not gotten down from the idol's body. 

"Jongin-ah, you're not as light as you were when I saw you last year. Get down before you break my back." Although the addressed tried to fight back, he finally complied climbing off his hyung's body with a rather large pout on his face. "So why don't you tell me what's been going on since I saw you last time?" Although the idol was expecting the normal "school and there is nothing to do" speech, he was rather surprised with Kai brought up Sehun and a bet. Jongin's over excitement however made it quiet difficult for anyone to follow along, causing Kris to step in and both Sehun and Baekhyun were rendered useless because of F(X). 

"In simpler words, Sehun made a bet with us thinking he would win, but he lost and now he has to date the ugly duckling. But the best part isn't even here yet. Sehun is going to dump that ugly nerd's in front of everyone. It will be amazing." The idol couldn't help but question why they didn't like this "ugly duckling" so much, to which he got bombarded with answer. 

"He's such an to everyone."

"He thinks he is so much better than everyone else because he can speak Chinese."

"He's ugly." The eldest merely nodded knowing that he could give the group of four the normal parenting lecture of being nice to everyone and what not, but he already knew of the group's rather messy background and a lecture, would just be a waste of both their time and his breath. So he simply nodded and allowed the group to continue on with their stories of the dates, the plan and of course, how Sehun is going to dump the poor boy so badly he will break like there is no tomorrow. 

"Wait you all call him ugly duckling. But what's his real name?" 

"Luhan." Sehun didn't skip a beat when speaking the hated name. However for the idol, the name ran in familiarity, as though he knows someone with the same name. As the group continued to tell of their stories, realization hit the singer: a Chinese boy, who goes to Seoul High School and named Luhan only meant one boy. And this meant Taemin has a very important phone call to make very soon.
