I wonder...?
Why Can't Anyone See Me?At four thirty Xiumin fallowed his family into the car he was really tired from the emotionally taxing day he had had but knew his day wasn’t finished yet.
“Listen up gang your mom and I have decided that we are going to go out for dinner to celebrate the first day of school” His dad said smiling looking in the rearview mirror to gage the reactions of his children.
“Dad I have practice tonight remember?” Xiumin’s older sister asks.
“Yes, yes of course but it’s not till seven sweetheart so we have plenty of time to eat and then get home for you to change don’t worry.” He replied.
