After an evening at the mall with friends, Sehun was ushered home by Luhan & his driver. That time, the brunette remembered how they had driven him home without asking his address. Sehun didn't hesitate to ask his hyung about it and the said hyung answered him. Shocked by the younger's query, he took time before answering. Luhan said that he just scanned the belongings of Sehun such as notebooks and books until he saw the address on a pocket dictionary. The brunette's lips formed into an O upon hearing the explanation. Along the ride, the two talked about the success their plan achieved, feeling good and proud about it. When Sehun was about to hop off the car, they exchanged goodbyes. Luhan pinched Sehun's soft cheeks and ruffled the boy's smooth brown hair. Refulgent smiles could be seen on their faces and it's like they got too fond of their brother-like treatment already.

The next day came and it's Sunday. The digits 1, 0, 4 & 7 could respectively be seen on Sehun's clock. Birds were chirping and that created sound plus the warm kiss of the sunlight on Sehun's cheeks waked up the said boy. Headed straight to his CR, he washed his face thoroughly. After wiping his face with a towel, he went downstairs to have a breakfast. There, he was greeted by his father who was watching a movie.

"Oh. Sehun. You're awake."

"No, dad. I'm sleepwalking," Sehun deadpanned in his thoughts. "Yes. Good morning, by the way," he spoke.

"Have a breakfast already."

"Where's mom?" He asked as he walked towards the kitchen.

"She went to the grocery. She'll be back soon," his father answered without averting his eyes from the screen.

"I see. Uhmm... Dad?"

"Yes?" He shortly replied. The boy was feeling like the cold treatment was returning.

"C-Can I go later?"

"Of course. But where are you going?" His father looked back at him.

"Ahh, just to my friend's house."

"Do you need money?"

"I still have money in here. It's okay."

"Well, just take care of yourself."

"Thank you, dad."

"You're welcome. You're growing up so you must learn things on your own and handle them alone."

Sehun clearly heard what his father said to him despite of the television's rising volume. He didn't know but the last word replayed on his mind like a mantra. "Alone... Alone... Alone..." It echoed like a prayer uttered to bring a curse. He knew that's not what his father meant but that's what his mind was telling him.

Sehun tried to shrug off the thought but success only came after numerous attempts. He thought that at least, he succeeded. After he had his breakfast, which was more likely a brunch, he prepared for a stroll outside. Actually, he lied to his father because the truth was Sehun had some plan.

With a white T-shirt and short jeans, Sehun was walking down the alleys and streets for some minutes. When he reached some place, he got a bit tired. He sat down the gutter across a quite big house. The boy kept on staring at the said house for seconds until the seconds became minutes. He thought deep inside him that there's something with the house. Sehun hadn't noticed a figure looking at him from the window of the house for some seconds. White puppy stood up and was about to leave but something happened.

"Se-Sehun?" The aforementioned heard and looked back.

"L-Luhan-hyung..." He muttered as he saw his hyung coming towards him.

"How long have you been sitting there? I was asleep and the moment I woke up, Mr. Kang, my driver, told me about you."

"I-I am just passing by. I just noticed that this was your house. How come I forgot already?" Sehun said with a bit of stuttering. But actually, it was a lie. He really knew that the house was Luhan's and that's the reason why he went out of their house. He did that, wanting to see his hyung as a surprise. But he ended up just sitting there since he's too nervous to knock or ring the doorbell.

"Really? Well, why not come in here for a while? It's okay, right?"

"Uhh... Is it okay?" he awkwardly asked.

"Why are you returning the question to me? Of course, it is. You've been here already right? I just asked if it's okay because I was considering that maybe you have any appointments or whatever," his hyung told him.

"Oh. Y-yeah. I'm free today," the younger responded and as soon as Luhan heard that, the older took his wrist and started to pull him in.

"Let's go inside," Luhan said with a reassuring smile and Sehun gladly obliged.

Sehun planned it all. He's liking his hyung's company more & more and that pushed him to do it. He couldn't explain why so but he wanted to be with Luhan badly. The white puppy felt like he's feeling lighter and merrier with the doe-eyed blondie's company. The lingering thought that he's that mean to Luhan before was making his heart ache for so much remorse. He was still guilty and he's trying his best to make it all up and to repay the goodness of his brother figure.

They went inside and the older offered any drink or food the younger wanted to have. The latter refused but requested some cool air since he stayed under the heat of the sun for minutes. The Xi invited him to go to his room since there was an aircon there. Well, the Oh, of course, accepted the invitation.

They stayed there for some time, talking about random stuffs. When the two ran out of absurd topics, Sehun reembered something that he badly wanted to ask. Produced enough amount of courage, he spoke and launched a query.

"H-hyung?"

"Yep, Sehun-ah?"

"I'll ask you something."

"Oh, go ahead."

"Hyung? Why were you teary-eyed when I saved you from a motorbike? And also on the balcony when I was about to apologize to you..." Sehun asked and Luhan looked like he didn't like it.

"H-hyung? It's okay if you don't want to ans-" White puppy spoke in a sorry manner but Luhan cut it.

"Wait. Will you promise me not to tell anyone?" Uncertainly, Luhan asked.

"Yes..." The other managed to say after few seconds of giving his brother a puzzled look.

"You know, I'm trusting you, Sehun. Since the day we became friends..."

"I won't break that precious thing."

"I'm looking forward to that," he sighed. "Well, here it is. I was crying that time on the motorbike because of family matters. My father wanted me to be the heir of the company. He said that I must study hard to be a pride to him and be worthy of calling me his son. I hadn't stopped my tears from falling because I felt like my own dreams were broken & thrown in an instant. I wanted to be a performer or a soccer player, not a businessman. I-I didn't have any other choice but to comply although he's treating me like not a son unless proven. He's my father afterall... And disobeying him is not a good option," Luhan explained with a bit of melancholic tone.

"I see. I know, it's hard for you, hyung... You can cry it out if you want. I'm just here. Your younger brother is here to be your crying shoulder," Sehun comforted him while he rested his arms around Han's neck and shoulders.

"Thanks, Hun... But I don't wanna cry. I'm already trying to accept the fact that I'll someday be someone I never dreamed to be..."

"If that's what you want, hyung. But always remember, that offer of being your crying shoulder is still available as long as I live. I'm just here, you know," the brunette further comforted. He's opposing the thought of Luhan just easily giving up his dreams but just accepted it for the time being. Despite of the words of agreeing that he had said, there's something in his mind that he wanted to do that surely was something difficult and contradicting.

"Thanks once again, Sehun-ah. I guess, I'll continue with the second story..."

"Okay, hyung. Just go on. I'll be listening."

"The second time you caught me crying was about my sisters. They're telling things about me like I had brainwashed our father to choose me as the heir of the company. They said that I didn't deserve it for I was just a big failure. They even closed their minds and didn't care to listen to my side. They're jealous of it. If only they knew that they're after something I never really liked. I could give it to them if they wanted to but it's our father who had chosen me to be the heir. I felt like it's unfair..."

"Well, hyung... It's really hard to let someone understand if they don't want to understand it. Don't worry, I have a feeling that someday, someone will let them realize. But for the meantime, let's just not really mind it. Just worrying about it won't change anything..."

"Wow, Sehun. You speak like you're very mature. Is that really you? Are you really my adorable friend?" Luhan gave way for a transition towards a new topic. Feeling sorry, white puppy just went with the flow. Remembered something, he opened up a new thing to talk about.

"No. This is not the adorable friend of yours. This is your very adorable younger brother."

"Hah! Dream on!" The older remarked as he ruffled the younger's hair.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. But admit it, I'm adorable, am I not?"

"Yeah. Fine. Whatever," the deer playfully rolled his eyes with a smile. He then stood and stretched his limbs out.

"I know you do find me adorable. Hehe! Hyung, are you free to go this time?"

"Huh? Are you asking me out?"

"Uhmmm..... Kinda..."

"Hmmm... Yeah... But I haven't taken a bath yet."

"I'm willing to wait."

"Okay. I won't take long," the deer boy assured to Sehun as he slung his towel around his neck.

"I think, I shall be staying downstairs."

"Uhmm.... I think, you really shall. Just don't be shy to ask anything from Mr. Kang or Mrs. Shin," he spoke as he moved his way towards the bathroom.

Sehun went downstairs and waited for his hyung. Despite of the words Luhan had told him, he remained shy to Mr. Kang & Mrs. Lee. After five minutes, Luhan went downstairs and met Sehun. The latter just had his eyebrows fighting due to the speed Luhan had in preparing himself.

"For five minutes you're done taking a bath and getting changed?" The younger asked in amazement.

"Told ya. I won't take long."

"But... How did you do that? Are you Flash?"

"Nope. I'm Dash. I just spent two minutes in the shower and three minutes on wearing my attire. I'm just fast mover."

Sehun came closer to Luhan and smelled him. He smelled like strawberries to Sehun and the boy liked it. "Oh well, I thought you stink," he commented and laughed. He just then earned a light jab from the older.

"Where are we going?" Luhan said as he walked towards the door with Sehun following behind him.

"Hmmm.... Just come along. We'll have fun," Sehun said with a refulgent smile.
