Xiumin had of course texted his mother and of course she wanted him to drop by the house first. He was grateful when none of the other boys had complained when informed.

"She's kind of protective.." Xiumin mumbled embarrased. He didn't know if this was weird since they ust met, and he was hoping he wasn't making a mistake already. Much to his surprise though, they all seemed excited.

"Mother, Mom, Amma." Sehun praticed beside him.

"Sehun what are you doing?"

"I'm practicing. I am going to be her son in law so I should call her Amma right?"

After numerous punches to Sehun from Chanyeol and Baekhyun, the car stopped and the crew gasped at the estate.
"Woah." Lay voiced, the others nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I'm not really used to it yet either." Xiumin mumbled. He looked over at them, smiling at there astonishment. He was happy this was their reaction, but not everyone looked so excited. Luhan had finally gotten out of the car and he looked anything but happy. Xiumin was worried. Was he mad that he brought them here? Did he already hate him? Xiumin was worried and Luhan must of felt his stare because he looked up to him. Quickly turning away, Xiumin grabbed Sehuns hand and ushered the others inside.

"Mom! I am home!" He yelled as they came through the front door. 

"Xiumin and friends!" Xiumin had them follow him to the large kitchen where his mothers voice had escaped.

Inside the kitchen his Mother was there, in an apron, pulling cookies out of the oven.

"Oh hello! I'm so glad you guys came!" She dusted her hands on her apron and scurried to embrace and introduce herself to all of the boys. 

"I'm Kim Mai." She chimed and none of the boys had to wonder where Xiumin got his beautiful voice from. "But you guys can call me Mother." She laughed, watching how they all bowed again and blushed.

"Xiumin you brought me such handsome new children." She squealed hugging him. He was embarrased by his mothers words but he laughed nervously because he loved his Mother and knew she meant no harm.

             "Okay, so before you guys leave I want to send you with some snack okay? I love cooking in my new kitchen and I haven't had much to cook for since we moved. Prepare your bodies!" She declared , making them al laugh. Xiumin was happy for his mothers sense of humor. She was always good at making people laugh and Xiumin was suddeny very happy he had brought his new friends home.

"Ah, may I help?" Kyungsoo spoke up. "I really like cooking." Pleasently surprised, Xiumins mother, being very much taller than Kyungsoo, threw her arm around his shoulder, " Absolutely, to be honest you could probably know more than me." 

                  Chanyeol , Lay and Sehun sat on the stools, watching as Kyungsoo and Mrs.Kim worked there magic. Luhan stood wathcing Xiumin, leaning against the entrance to the kitchen. Xiumin didn't look back but he could tell and he didn't know what to do about it. He really hoped Luhan didn't hate him already. But he could feel it, and he racked his brain, wondering what he had done.

While laughing and joking with the boys, Mrs.Kim seemed to remember something.

                    "Ah! Son, I forgot to tell you, your uh,those things you ordered from the catalog are here." She had switched to Chinese which surprised Xiumin, but he soon realised why. She was trying to telll him his flowers were put in the garden and she was trying to not embarrass him. He was grateful but couldn't help but laugh at how his Mother had forgotten they were in China, and all of his friends spoke Chinese. They had only been speaking Korean because thats what Xiumin knows best.

                           The other boys looked over to him, confused. "Ah, my mother is Chinese." "Ah~" He laughed at their reaction "Okay, I'm going to go see them, I'll be quick!" He assured the others. He ran past Luhan and to the double doors of which hid his secret heaven.

Not realising a curious Luhan had decided to follow quietly behind.

***********

               The garden was really beautiful. Everytime Xiumin reentered it he wondered how such a beautiful thing could be all his. Today the sun was especially bright and it's rays caressed the flowers fully. He didn't stop the smell them as he usually woud though, because he was too excited to slow down until he finaly reached the center. 

Luhan did though, stop to look at some of the flowers on the way. Some of them he had never seen before. So many exotic types, and colors. And they all held unique smells, not that he could smell ALL of them, there were way to many. he had never seen a garden so full and thriving, nor a boy like Xiumin, who was as beautiful as the roses grown in the garden.

                 Now reachng the center Xiumin was ecstatic to see the roses looked even better than they had in the catalog. The larger bushels of them had been professionally installed in the ground and stood tall and elegantly. The lavender petals, bathed in sunlight, matched his very own locks and he smiled to himself. Barely having to lean down, he smelled the flowers and the scent was better than any perfume.

He was completely infatuated with the Roses, which is why he didn't feel Luhan join him and yelped when the other spoke up next him.

"Ah, sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." Xiumin just shook his head, hand over his heart. He looked over and excpected Sehun but was surprised to see Luhan standing next to him, hand placed on his arm concerned.

"Ah-Uh it's okay. I just didn't know anyone had been following me." He smiled sheepishly. Luhan nodded and dropped his hand to return to smelling the flower.

  Why had he followed him out here? He would have expected anyone else, except Luhan. He was pretty sure Luhan disliked him, so he was worried of what he might do. Xiumin stared worriedly at the boy and then to his flowers. What he destroyed his flowers? What if he followed him because he knew he'd be alone and was going to threaten him? Memories of the past filtered through Xiumins mind that hadn't in a long time and he push them away, hoping this situation wouldn' be the same. 

" May I ask what these are?" Luhan asked, breaking Xiumin from his thoughts. The other boy looked over and realised Luhan had moved away from the roses and was now behind him.

He hesitated but eventually moved to where the latter was. "P-Plumeria Lurline. " He chastised himself for stuttering out the words. He really couldn't falter with Luhan.

"Very rare indeed." Luhan nodded. Xiumin just nodded along side of him. Not wanting to say anything that would disturb the other.
At that moment Xiumin was spacing out and hadn't realized Luhan was standing staring at him. He admired the smallers features and couldn't help but laugh to himself, which alerted the other.

"Eh? Is there something on my face?" He frantically searched his face with his hands.

"No, no." He laughed." Sorry, I was just thinking to myself, ' I have met a real life Flower Boy.'" 

"Flower boy?" Xiumin turned his head in confusion and Luhan wondered how someone could take his breathe away so easily. He simply shook his head. Not knowing what to do next, he looked up to Xiumin and without a word, fell in the soft grass.

"Ah! Are you okay?!" Xiumin asked, frantic. Luhan only spread out farther in the grass and laughed. Xiumin was very worried and he wondered if Luhan had hit his head to hard on the ground.

"I'm perfectly fine. I just like the grass." Luhan assured, but before Xiumin could comprehend his answer Luhan dragged him down in the grass with him.

 " Do you ever just lay on the ground and stare at the sky?" He said after a few moments, to the boy whose hair he was mindlessly playing with. 

Xiumin was very confused by this whole situation but that question he couldn't help but scoff at. "You have no idea the hours I have put into laying right where you are, staring up at nothing. Thinking about everything."He didn't think anyone else did what he did, and he had never even thought about why he did it out loud, but the words made sense as they left his mouth. "I did it everyday of my childhood and I've continued doing it ever since I moved here."

Bzz. Bzz.
Xiumin brought his phone out of is pocket, while Luhan shamelessly stared at the other.

"Ah, time to go. I'm assuming there is going to be plently of snacks." He laughed, showing the picture she sent to Luhan who scoffed at the image of Chanyeol with two big bags.

They got up from their spot in the grass and headed to the house, Xiumin curious as to why Luhan had decided to lace their fingers together.

************

Putting Xiumin on Luhans team was a very bad idea. They thought that he would slow Luhan down, but they didn't think that he would actually be equally as good as him. Everyone except Xiumin and Luhan were sprawled out in the grass, dying of exhaustion.

"We," Baekhyun coughed trying to catch his breath,"Severely underestimated you Minnie." 

"Who would have thought that the two flowers boys would make a perfect ing team." Chanyeol laughed loudly, only to have to clutch his side in pain.

Xiumin still wasn't too positive on the meaning of the term but he laughed alongside everyone anyway, finding the pain the others were in very funny. He hadn't had so much fun in a long time. He was very grateful.

"Okay, since you guys lost so pitifully, drinks are on me." They all cheered from the ground, a little lifelessly of course, and gave him their order.

He headed down the road toward the small store, Luhan in tow unnecessarily. He couldn't help but follow, being that everything this boy seemed to do had him giddy. After a few minutes of walking though, it was too quiet and he decided right now was a good time to get to know Xiumin.

"So do you like it, living here I mean?" Luhan asked. It took a minuted for Xiumin to realize he was being talked to.

"Ah, sorry. Yes, I like living here very much." He said thoughtfully. " Everyone here is very nice and welcoming."

Luhan couldn't help but notice something flicker in his eyes when he said that.

"Were they not nice where you came from?" The words came out more as a question to himself but Xiumin heard of course.

They stayed silent for a long time. Until Luhan heard a sniffle from beside him and guilt washed over him. He had obviously asked a bad question. He turned and hid the others face in his chest. 

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked.." He held a surprised Xiumin close, feeling completely terrible.

After wiping he tears off his face, Xiumin and Luhan finished walking to the store to get drinks and headed back. They didn't talk anymore but Luhan made sure he didn't let go of his hand.
