TWENTY-SEVEN

That night, I was chatting on Facebook with Luhan. It’s been a while and I miss this kiddo. He apologized to me for hurting Seulgi. I found it funny because, why was he apologizing? It’s not like you can control who you fall for. And if they’re meant to be, they’ll end up with each other no matter what.

I pouted. She’s overreacting. I did as told. While eating, Mom said something that made me choke on my food.

“Honey, is Sehunnie graduating soon?”

“How am I supposed to know that?”

“Aren’t you two close? His mom and I have been meeting often and I heard that Sehun might already graduate next year.”

“Well, that’s good for him.”

“Did he invite you to his graduation?”

“Eomma! Why would he
