Chapter 1

“Get your lazy off my car seat!”

    Sehun was about to protest to his grandpa’s order when he was abruptly pushed out the car door. He stumbled slightly as his tried to regain his balance. He quickly swiveled on his heels in attempts to get back into the car but his grandpa already slammed shut the door.
