"Yixing, is Father okay?" Luhan asked his older brother. "Why does he look so sad?" Yixing sighed heavily, draping his arm around his younger brother and leading him away from the elder men.

"Luhan," He said, taking in a deep breath in an attempt to hold back his tears. "How do you feel about Korea? You know, living there instead of here..." He smiled. The teenage boy smiled at his baby sibling, the sting from holding back emotion making his voice hoarse and his cheeks feel hot. Yixing was everything to Luhan, and since his father was hardly around, he had to be the man that Luhan looked up to.

"Oh, I'd love to go there! Are we going there soon, XiXi*?" Luhan chimed, his widespread smile making it that huch harder for Yixing to hold back. "Huh, are we? I can't wait to live in Korea and have you walk me to school, and when school is out we can walk home together and smell all kinds of delicious goodies-"

"Luhan, I'm not going.." Yixing whispered, a single tear falling down his cheek as he watched Luhan's smile disappear. "You're going alone. Mother and Father don't want you to stay here anymore, so-"

"What?!" Luhan cried, his face turning pink as tears streamed from his eyes and fell with a soft plip onto his dirty clothes. "Wh..What do you mean? Where will I live? Who will I talk to? Why aren't you coming? Or Mother or Father? I thought..." He cried, hugging Yixing as hard as he could. "I thought we were a family..." He whispered. Yixing held his little brother tightly, his own tears falling into Luhan's hair, causing the cheap dye to run and expose his true, jet black hair colour.

"I know Luhan, and we are. But we only have enough money for one of us to go over there right now, and they chose you. Not to tear us apart, but so you can make a new life for us over there, a better life. So promise me you will, okay?" He smiled. Luhan wiped his eyes and nodded as the official looking man tore him from his brother. "I'll be staying strong for you, Luhan..."

Luhan jolted up from his pillows quickly, tears streaming down his face as he forced himself away from the nightmare. "Yixing..." He whispered, "I miss you..."

*XiXi - pronounced as Zhee-Zhee

Kind of a short chapter, but I kinda wanted to lay out where all the characters come from and why they know exactly who they know.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've just been so busy with school and graduating, citizenship and work... But I should be back now more often. I just got all of my electronics updated, so..yay!! Anyways, spoiler: Next chapter will be about Sehun and I plan to make a chapter dedicated to Ladies' Code EunB. Stay tuned everyone!

Saranghae,
