Sehun scratched his head with frustration after reading that message. He couldn't even focus while he had his shower. He felt the guilt consume him and he couldn't do anything about it. He didn't want to reply for he's still feeling mad, feeling jealous. Sehun even thought that there's the presence of pride and it made him remember the words Suho once emphasized to them, that "Pride is the only poison that when swallowed, gives cure." He just made a mental note that he would just swallow it on the next day for he found it hard to accomplish at the moment. Had no other choice, white puppy just ignored the message and went on with his life.

The Oh was watching TV when he could no longer ignore what's happening to them. The thought of a broken friendship visited his mind and he vigorously shook his head, not wanting the thought. He stood up from where he sat and turned off the TV. Prepared a pen & a paper, he started to write a letter of sincere apology. Sehun wrote what he felt which caused his ignorance to Luhan. He described that heavy, cloudy & stinging feeling but he didn't specify that it's jealousy, as what Kai & Dyo told him to be. He smiled when he finished writing the letter in a sky blue scented paper.

Dear deer,

Hello, hyung! Don't mind that deer on the greeting. Hehe! Well, this letter isn't an invitation letter nor a love letter. This one is an apology letter. Yeah. You've read it right. I opted to write this instead of saying it to you personally because I was thinking that I might not have the courage and might end up being emotional in front of you instead.

I would like to apologize for ignoring you that you even texted me you hate me. I'm sorry... I'm really sorry. It's just that I'm thinking that you badly need to spend time with Minseok-hyung. You two looked so close and inseparable. I didn't want to be the third wheel so yeah, I just decided to stay away. I also didn't want to feel out of place, like what I had felt at the CR and when we went out of that place together. That time, I felt a heavy, cloudy & stinging feeling I couldn't take to feel for too long. Maybe I just got used to the feeling that we're always together and found it unusual when Minseok-hyung came.

Sorry for that. It wasn't in purpose. But that's how I felt. I'm just being honest. I know, you don't want to be fooled by lies and I know that I have acted like an immature person. So here I am, swallowing my pride and humbling myself. I'm sorry once again, hyung... I hope everything's okay now. So... Up for a bubble tea? My treat. You know, peace offering. If you'll come after class, I'll take it as a sign that we're in good terms again. Well, take care always, hyung... I'll be waiting for you there. XOXO

Sincerely yours,

Oh Sehun

That was his letter for his hyung. He made sure that he wrote the date and he signed it. Having a cute smile, he folded the handwritten letter and put it inside a white envelop. And to complete it, he sealed it with a white puppy sticker.

Just right after he placed the sticker with a smile, he heard the door of his room being knocked. The boy sprang on his foot and opened it. It was his mom who just got home with his dad.

"Sehun, have you eaten your dinner already?" She asked.

"Yes, mom. I already washed the dishes and utensils. Why so, mom?"

"'Cause we've brought pizza. Well, will you eat with us? If you're feeling too full, we'll just leave you some."

"Oh. No, no. Let's just eat together," Sehun answered, a bit happy upon hearing the brought pizza.

They went downstairs to eat the pizza together. The boy felt full but he thought, this could be the time where they could have some sort of talk and bonding. He could feel that his parents were making efforts to restore their relationship which seemed to be dead. He knew that his parents could feel the boundary that separated them. And he also knew that both parties wanted to demolish that boundary.

"So, how's school, son?" Mr. Oh asked him.

"Just fine, dad, as always," he answered as he took a bite from the slice of pizza.

"How about your friends? Are you having good circle of friends?" His mom took her turn to ask.

"Yes, mom. They always help me and they're not bad influences."

"I'm happy to know that. How about your lovelife? Do you have any? Who's the lucky girl?"

"Oh. No, dad. I don't have any. I'm too young for that."

"Oh, Sehun. I could still remember that I already had my second boyfriend when I was at your age now. But well, I found Mr. Right when I was twenty-two, right, sweetheart?" Mrs. Oh shared and it was a new thing to him. He didn't know his mom was like that.

"But mom, I don't have enough time for that. And besides, I'm feeling like I could not handle things like that yet."

"That's the right mindset, son. Don't follow your mother," Mr. Oh jokingly said and the wife was like, "Yah! It wasn't my fault if my parents were exposing me to things like that! They're the ones who picked my boyfriends, remember?"

"Yeah. Yeah. And I happened to be the best among them," his father commented and it made Sehun have his eyebrows fighting in wonder. He just then smiled at the cute scene of his parents childishly fighting.

"Mom, dad, I'm full. Thanks for the pizza. Excuse me."

"Sure, son."

"Oh, by the way, Sehun. Our book signing event will be on Wednesday. We expect you to come. Invite your friends if you like."

"Okay, mom. I'll be going. And I think, I'll be bringing some friends."

"Oh sure, son. We'll just be the ones who will clean up here. Just brush your teeth and be ready for sleep."

"Okay, mom. Thanks. I'll be going," the brunette said with a big upward curve on his lips.

'Twas a great night to Sehun, notwithstanding the text message he received from his hyung. Assuming that they'd be okay the following day, he planned to invite Luhan to go with him to the booksigning event. He stared at Hansel and talked to it a bit, saying that he's hoping that he and Luhan would be in good terms again. Few minutes later after brushing his teeth and lying on his bed, he drifted off to dreamland with a smile.

Early in the morning, Sehun happily inserted the letter to the older's locker. He was expecting that at noon, Luhan would be able to read it already. Or if not, at the afternoon. Afterwards, he went to his classroom, being the walking miracle again.

Their class finally ended. The brown-haired boy paused when he saw Suho & Chen waiting for the others at their usual table when he passed by the canteen. They didn't see him and he just didn't bother to call for their attention. He resumed walking and his eyes widened when he bumped some small figure. He apologized for his clumsiness and the one whom he bumped was just chuckling.

"In a rush?" An petite owl-eyed boy asked him.

"Oh. Dyo-hyung! Well... Uhh... Yeah. I have some important things to do."

"Does it have to do with that blonde-haired deer?"

"Uhmmm.... Y-Yeah..." Shyly, he responded.

"You're gonna confess, aren't you?"

"What, hyung!? No! I'm just... just g-gonna apologize," he answered, obviously shocked. He didn't see Jongin coming and he got surprised with what the tan-skinned did.

"Oh, Oh Sehun, oh! You look like a nearly ripe tomato!" Kai exclaimed with the rhyme intended as he pointed at the aforementioned's newly captured image on his phone.

"Why are you that pinkish? You're blushing," Kyungsoo casually asked. As if he didn't know & cared less.

"I-I-It's nothing. I g-gotta go. I'll be late," the white puppy stuttered and walked out fast, leaving the two wondering.

"Good luck on your confession!" Kyungsoo teased from behind with his smiling heart-shaped lips. The younger in turn, stuck his tongue out, shooting a "Yeah, whatever. Please just shut up, hyung." type of look.

The brunette occupied a table near the glass wall. It was the same table where he spilled Luhan's bubble tea on his own shirt before. It's a way back where they were still enemies. He waited and waited, craning his neck to the shop's entrance everytime someone comes in with the hope that it's Lu.

Minutes passed by. Still no sign of Luhan. He's glancing at his phone clock from time to time. Sehun didn't want to spoil the plan by texting Luhan so he just let it be. Just thinking that his older brother was just stuck on some busy & important task, he continued to wait. The minutes became hours. Soon, the sun had already set for almost an hour already. His insides were filled with frustration as he saw the diminishing number of costumers in the shop. He knew, the closing was near. Lost all hope, he stood up and went to the counter. Bought his favorite flavor already, he went out of the shop and headed home.

The white puppy was feeling disappointed while walking. He didn't know what to think or make himself believe. It could be that Luhan hadn't read the letter. He tried to remember which locker he inserted the letter, wanting to make sure he didn't make a mistake with the lockers. But then, he remembered that it's the right locker. The thought of Luhan ignoring the letter after reading had been given birth in his mind. With their situation, it's really possible.

Passing by the playground near their block, he saw two figures on the swings. Sehun saw one of them stand up, go to the other and bend down to meet the other boy's level who was sitting on one of the swings. The one who stood up had his back facing Sehun so the latter couldn't clearly see. Curious about the two boys, he took few steps closer and squinted his eyes. Found out that the three of them had the same uniform, he had his curiosity rising higher. The curious boy recognized Minseok's figure and he was about to call them. But he stopped when he saw Xiumin holding the other boy's cheeks and drew his face much closer to the sitting one. They looked like kissing on the lips and later, on the forehead. Sehun's eyes widened when he saw strands of blonde hair which he's very familiar with. Due to the surprise, he had dropped his almost empty bubble tea and the sound caught Luhan & Xiumin's attention. Not wanting to be seen, he ran quickly and looked for a place to hide. But whilst he's running, he heard someone from far behind.

"Sehun! Oh Sehun!" That someone shouted and the younger recognized it to be Luhan's voice.
