Yixing felt something besides his head the soon he woke up. He reach for it and found a letter. The fourth Lee sat up straight and opened the hand-written letter. A familiar scent filled the air and a smile formed on his face. The penmanship was familiar. He may be the slowess in his brothers but Yixing isn't stupid. Warmth filled up his body as his eyes read every word on the letter.

Tears pooled on his eyes as Yixing read the last line and smiles. The fifth born stands up from his bed and heads to the bathroom to prepare himself for work. As he enters the room, he heard someone crying and opened the door and saw Junmyeon with a letter on his hand, he assumes it was from Aeri, crying his eyes out. Junmyeon looks up to his brothers and sniffs, snot falling down his nose. Yixing rolls his eyes at him and throws the towel at Junmyeon, closing the door with a sigh.


Jongin jogs towards him. "Hyung, are you done using the bathroom?" 


Yixing shooks his head and replied. "I suggest you use the bathroom downstairs." And he went downstairs leaving a confuse Jongin. Curious, he puts his ears on the door and listened. Before he could hear anything Jongin was pulled by his ears away from the door. It was Luhan. 


"A-ah! Hyung!"


"Didn't appa taught you not to invade one's privacy?" The elder scolded and tugs harder. 


Jongin yelps. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Luhan didn't let go and drag the third youngest downstairs. Jongin could only whimper as the elder scolds him. 





Aeri arrives at school earlier than usual. Last night, she prepared cookies for Yul and the twins as an apology and also for Joohyuk. She plans on telling him she doesn't like him back and would rather be friends with him because she is not prepared to enter a relationship at the moment. 


She stayed late last night to write letters for her brothers and left it on their beds before they would wake up. After talking to her Luhan oppa, Aeri felt lighter and thankful because she is so lucky to have brothers like them. Soomin may bully her in every possible but Aeri knows that her friends and brothers will be there for her. 


Yul usually arrives 6:30 AM at school. Aeri has been waiting for 30 minutes now, her stomach is grumbling since she has forgotten to eat breakfast because of her exitement to apologize to Yul. She admit it was her fault; she neglected her duty as a friend and was too occupied with her admirer that she forgot about her friends. 


Just then, the door opens and came in Yul. Her uniform is wrinkly and she didn't look good; she had dark circles and her hair isn't comb neatly. In overall, Yul looks like a mess. Aeri stands from her seat, dusting her skirt, and waves as her friend. Yul was surprise to see Aeri and bows her head, taking slow steps towards Aeri. 


"I packed these cookies last night as an apology." Aeri took out a small pink bag and handed out to Yul. The latter only stared at the bag making Aeri nervous. "I know you're still mad at me, Yul-ah. I've been a terrible friend and I'm very sorry for that, will you forgive me?" Aeri was already tearing up when she said those words. 


Yet Yul was still unresponsive but after a minute, she took the bag from Aeri. "Yu    " She didn't get to finish when her friend envelopes her into a deep hug, tears running her face. A smile formed on Aeri's fa
