The night was getting darker. The mouth-watering smell of grilled meat fills the air. Sitting facing each other at a small wooden table, million thoughts racing through their mind.

Luhan looked at Kai with a weak half smile. "Kai, I know we always have unsettled things between us. Let's get it over and done with it."

"What were you talking about?" Kai's posture changed. He seemed more relaxed.

"You know what I'm talking about, Kai. Don't pretend."

"Do you want to talk about it now? With Suzy around?"

Luhan smiled. "You were right. Not tonight." He leaned his back in his chair and looked up at the clear sky.

Luhan was quiet for a while but he did recognize the smirk and mockingly raised righ
