"Junjun..."

     "J-Jongdae..." Suho said stuttering after moments of looking at each other eye to eye like he's still processing that they met again.

     "Who's there, Joonmyeon?" Mrs. Kim wondered as she approached the door. "What's taking you so long?" She asked, holding on Suho's shoulder. She then opened the door wider to see the person outside.

     "You're too...familiar..." Joonmyeon's mother softly spoke with fighting eyebrows.

     "Hi, Hyorin-umma. Good evening," the boy outside waved with a warm smile and the one who's greeted let out a loud gasp. She's recognizing his eldest son's childhood bestfriend whom she treated like another son.

     "Jongdae?" The mother wanted to make sure & the boy just nodded.

     "Jongdae! You're back!" Hyorin straddled to hug the boy and he cupped his cheeks when they pulled away, inspecting the boy's face.

     "You're all grown up now and you look more handsome! Where have you been? You suddenly disappeared. Have you been doing well? When did you come back?" She excitedly questioned in succession.

     "Uhmmm.... Actually...." The high-cheek-boned boy shyly scratched the back of his head.

     "Oh. Just explain it later. Good timing. You'll have a dinner with us. Come in," she invited the boy and gently dragged him in, making Suho surprised. When Jongdae passed by him, the one being dragged just sheepishly smiled. Suho's eyes just followed him and by the time the two who just passed  by him weren't looking, he mischievously stuck his tongue out to them.

     "Joonmyeon, close the door and join us here. We have to talk a lot with your childhood bestfriend," Hyorin ordered and Suho just rolled his eyes then obeyed.

     "Tsh... What a lucky guy I am today..." Joonmyeon thought to himself sarcastically.

     "Sit here, Jongdae," Hyorin offered a seat beside Jongwoon.

     "Hyung? What are you doing here? Why are you here?" The boy seated beside him asked.

     "I came here to fetch you. I'll just text mom that we're here," Jongdae answered.

     "What? You're having dinner with us, too?"

     "Yeah. You're not just the one who have friends in this residence, you know," Jongdae remarked and they earned puzzled looks from people there except Suho.

     They went on with the dinner and Jongdae explained it all. He explained things about his younger brother and how come the Kims didn't know. Also the reason why they left and then came back after six years was told. Jongdae said that they went to China because of family business matters in the company of his grandfather on the mother's side. It was urgent that time that they even had no time to say goodbye. His grandfather demanded them to stay there in China until the company was already safe from the threat of bankruptcy. In a span of two years, Jongdae's parents had done the job they're asked to do. They planned on going back to Korea but were stopped by their grandmother for the reason that she wanted them to stay there until she's dead. She loved her grandsons too much and the boys were likwise, especially Jongwoon who learned to open himself up to people because of her. Two years passed and the said grandma died due to leukemia. Everyone in their family felt depressed, especially the widowed old man. Jongdae's family was unaware that the widower was overtaken by the depression. The said widower was drinking more frequently and hadn't appeared in the company for months. When Jongdae's father, Jonghyun, suspected it, he hired an investigator and found out what's happening to his father-in-law. When they visited to see him, they found him lying unconscious on the bathroom floor. They brought him to the hospital immediately and found out to have a worse case of colon cancer. After two years, he died and their mother, Sunyoung, asked to stay at least a year in China before leaving the said country.

     After the question and answer portion during the dinner, Hyorin was like pushing Suho to interact with Jongdae. She thought that Suho was happy that Jongdae came back already but the real thing was the opposite of which. When Mrs. Kim asked why Suho wasn't looking like happy or excited with Jongdae's return, the boy just reasoned out that he's just overwhelmed and didn't know what to do. By that, Hyorin thought her earlier thought to be correct but then she sensed something wrong. She's thinking that maybe after six years of separation, the two had gone awkward with each other. That thing even happened to her when she met her elementary friend at the market once. With that thought, she stopped pushing his son to Jongdae.

     The dinner soon ended with nothing much happenings except the question and answer. The childhood bestfriends were still awkward with each other and not interacting much. The time came where Jongdae & Jongwoon decided to go home.

     "Thanks once again, Hyorin-umma. I came here just to fetch my younger brother but I ended up having dinner here," Jongdae thanked. Everyone were at the porch by that time.

     "It's okay, Tenten. You're always welcome here. And you, too, Jongwoon."

     "Thanks, umma. I think, we'll be taking our leave already."

     "Wait. Joonmyeon, them," Hyorin suggested.

     "Oh, no need, umma. He looks tired and stressed already. We can manage. It's just a short walk anyway," Tenten refused politely while resting his hands on his younger brother's shoulders. The mother just took a glance on her son.

     "Are you sure?"

     "Yes, umma."

     "Umma, I wanna them," Ryewook butted in.

     "What!? You!? Who'll accompany you when you go back here? You just can't them then have them you back here."

     "Hehe! Joonmyeon-hyung. They're childhood bestfriends, aren't they? They can have some talk while Yesung and I are also talking," Ryeowook casually answered.

      "Oh. Okay. You can go."

     "But mom, I'm not feeling so well. Remember what he said as a refusal?" Joonmyeon protested and referred the 'he' to Jongdae.

      "Fine. Jongin, come with Ryeowook, please," and the aforementioned looked at his pouting brother that looked like almost gonna burst out crying any moment.

      "Well, it seems that I can't say no," the tan-skinned just accepted.

     "Yehey! I love you, Jongin-hyung! Let's go!" Ryeowook cheered.

     The four walked away towards Jongdae's house. Hyorin & Joonmyeon just went back inside. When Hyorin called Joonmyeon for a talk, the boy just repeated and rephrased Jongdae's reason of refusal, saying he's not feeling well. The mother just understood his son while the boy went straight to his room to take a rest. He felt like sick of Jongdae's presence.

     Actually, Joonmyeon wasn't tired at all. He's just saddened by the fact that Jongdae was really back therefore, causing him to feel like weak and ill. The doors were locked and the lamplights were off. The only source of light that enabled Suho to somehow see was the faint light from the full moon that was passing through the glass window. A cold draft blew gently and Joonmyeon hugged his pillow tighter. He felt some sort of sorrow and the sentimental setting wasn't helping. Memories flooded his mind and he sniffed a sad sniff. A tear escaped his left eye that flowed down to his pillow. The tear was quickly absorbed and Suho just let out a silent whimper.

     "I hate that I love you, Jongdae... I hate that I still do..."

     The next day came and it's Saturday. It's the day Luhan and Sehun planned something with. Moving excitedly, the two texted each other and decided to go to the meeting place earlier. But then along the process, Sehun thought of something.

From: Sehun-ah=3

Hyung, where are you right now?

From: Luhan-hyung=]

Just got out of my house.=3 Why?

From: Sehun-ah=3

Well, let's meet on the bubble tea shop. We're one and a half hour early.=]

From: Luhan-hyung=]

Okay. The one who'll come last will be the one who'll do the treat.:P

From: Sehun-ah=3

Are you sure, hyung?

From: Luhan-hyung=]

Yes, of course.XD

From: Sehun-ah=3

Mark you words. ;-)

From: Luhan-hyung=]

What do you mean?

From: Sehun-ah=3

I'm already here since the time I texted you.^_^

From: Luhan-hyung=]

Yah! You're so bad! That's not fair!

From: Sehun-ah=3

It's fair. There are no cheats and I didn't do anything. Kkaeb...^_^v

From: Luhan-hyung=]

Yeah. It's my fault... I'm sorry, Sehun-ah=(

From: Sehun-ah=3

No big deal, hyung. I'll be waiting for you and your treat here. Take care.;-)

From: Luhan-hyung=]

Okay, Hun. Thanks. I'm coming. I'll be there in a few minutes.

     Luhan soon arrived at the said shop. He found Sehun sitting at their favorite spot. The doe-eyed boy went to him and was warmly greeted by bright smiles. They ordered bubble teas and talked about random stuffs. The topic soon drifted off to their plan. Since the five boys were set-up to meet on different places on the park, communication's a must. Luhan would just be there to guide and assist Sehun in their plan. After finalizing the plan, the two went to the said park.

     They knew that Kyungsoo would be an early bird so they set him up to meet 3:15 PM at the center of the park, the place where the fountain was situated. That's where the two headed straight and waited for the owl-eyed. A message sent, a message received, another message sent, another message received and the cycle went on.

     Talking about the Kims, they knew that, of course, they're living under one roof so they did something to prevent the suspicion to loom. Sehun said to Suho to meet him 3 PM at the eastern part of the park, the playground. It was known to them that he  would come on time. Then with the younger Kim, Sehun was familiar of his habits, knowing he would be an hour late. With that, white puppy set to see him 2 PM at the western part of the park, the place with big trees and benches.

     About Chanyeol, Sehun agreed with him to meet 2:30 PM at the nothern part of the park, the part where angel statues stood. And with the last, Baekhyun, was known to be not much late so the so-called walking miracle set the meet-up at 2:45 PM at the southern part of the park or the main entrance surrounded by floral gardens. Sehun then remembered how difficult it took him just to convince Baekhyun. It took him a promise to buy Baekhyun a new set of eyeliners. When Luhan secretly found it out, he made sure that Sehun wouldn't spend even a penny for it's him who would buy the eyeliners.

      The hour hand on Sehun's wristwatch was approaching three. He already received messages that they're coming and his lips quirked into a smile. Minutes passed by and, as expected, Kyungsoo showed up first. Sehun told him that they needed to wait there for Kai and the owl-eyed no longer questioned it.

     While Luhan and Kyungsoo were getting to know each other, Sehun received a message from Joonmyeon that he's there at the playground already. Then, when he's about to reply, he received a text message from Chanyeol, saying that he's also there waiting with the statues. White puppy typed, "Good. I've been waiting for you for minutes already. I'm sorry, I got bored waiting for you so I decided to stroll around. I'm on the other end. Meet me halfway at the fountain, hyung. Please..." Then he sent it to the two. Baekhyun soon informed him that he already arrived and then the last one was Kai. Sehun just sent the same message to them.

     "Sehun, I thought Kai's coming with us. Where is he? What takes him so long?" Kyungsoo asked. Sehun was about to give a reason but stopped when Joonmyeon appeared from their right and Chanyeol from their back.

      "Sehun, you told me that we're gonna visit Baek. Are they coming?" Chanyeol asked.

      "What? But Sehun, I thought only the two of us are going to watch a movie?" Suho asked. Baekhyun also appeared and wondered.

     "What's going on here, Hun? Didn't you convince me to help you look something that would be great as a present to your Luhan-hyung in exchange of eyeliners?"

     "So, my instincts were right, eh?" Kai spoke from their left. All eyes were set on him & the high-cheekboned guy behind him.

[A/N: Hello! I updated at last. Lol. Belated Happy Birthday Luhaeeeeennnn!!!!!! Haha! Stay cute & pretty. And please, stick to Sehun and Sehun alone. Lol! (I'm sorry XiuHan shippers. And also the other ships)

So, I'm sorry for this for now. It took me time to update because I published a Hunhan oneshot last April 16. It's entitled "Unspoken & Unheard (Hunhan)". Actually, I just worked on it for three days since the story I was writing last two weeks was too long to be a oneshot. I decided to make it just a chaptered fic so that's it. Anyways, read it if you have time, please. Then leave your comments even if they just contain your feels. I wanna know how you felt. Or how's the impact=]

Well, I'm sorry if this one's not an impact-carrier. I'm supposed to double update this week but it's Luhan's birthday recently so I decided to update. I'm supposed to publish this on April 20 but I had things to do.

Yay! EXO-K met again! Hehe! Have you noticed? Kim Jonghyun, Kim Jongdae, Kim Jongwoon. The family who has members that have good voices. Don't forget Luna, the mom. And about the other Kims, I first considered Taeyeon as their mother but I changed it to Hyorin. I thought that I might need the whole SNSD on the next chapters. Hehe! Anyway, Jongin possibly acquired his mother's genes in terms of complexion. Well, could you help me with their father? It must be a Kim. Tall, white and handsome?XD So that there's a reason why Suho is very white despite of her mother.XD , comment your suggestions please? *puppy dog pout* *buing buing* *epic fail*

I'm sorry, this author's note is too long. I'm sorry for any mistakes and errors. Thanks for all your support, by the way. I feel happy and overwhelmed.=] Always feel free to vote and comment even your feels. 'Til next we meet. TC! Lovelots! XOXO]
