Thirteen was the year of awkwardness. Luhan's pimples of maturing had finally blossomed, making his face a blotchy mess of red and white. He rarely stepped out of his house, only daring to go to school. Even if nothing was marring his still childish features, he tended to stay curled up in his room, willing his teenage years to just end finally in hope of a better future...and blemish-free skin, of course.

He was doing the same at the moment, eyes set on the large mirror that hang on his wall.
