Chapter I Never the same "Your back?" Was I? Was I finally ready to comback to so many harsh memories and emotional moments, See familar faces of those who I shared those moments with, or the places I told myself was a distant remnant of the past. " Yah, I guess." He was a good friend, right? His twinkling brown honey eyes and slick back black hair. Yes, Minseok was a good friend. He raised his eyes and chuckled at my answer. A natural habit he's always had. He picked up speed as he traveled towards my way ignoring the distinct stares and glares from passbyers. His grey sports hoodie from Harvard was wrapped around his neck gentle laying over his white crew neck shirt which was paired with light ash wash ripped jeans and oxfords. He hadn't changed at all. He quickly grabbed my luggage dispite my protests giving me a once over. I guess my attire wasn't really airport protical. My heels were pair with a leather trench coat and a black dress. " Haven't changed at all have you."He teases. No. Alot has changed and more was about to because this was the beginning. " I could say the same." I replied my smile wavering a bit, but going unnoticed. Our walk was slow and meaningful as we filled in about our life apart. Minseok had always been every girls dream. He was the smartest student back in highschool always competing with Jongdae, pretty boy, and a star athlete. Why hadn't I noticed him before it was too late? Minseok ended the girl crushes once he moved to the states to study at Havard and married a young girl during his 3rd year. She just recently gave birth to a baby girl in early april and they were hoping to try for a boy soon. " I'm sure it'll be fine." He sounds more like he was trying to reassure himself than myself. At the time, I was optimistic. I was hoping that eveeything could be forgotten and I could move on. " It will." Boy, was I wrong. " What's she doing here?" That was the first thing I heard the moment I entered the Snow Lodge at 11 pm. It seems we had interrupted dinner, great. A clatter sounded as silverware dropped from ones hand as the stopped eating. Blank stares were all I saw as we approached. Minseok stratches the back of his head nervously at the awkward tension in the room. "Hi." I said light heartedly. I though maybe it would help lighted up someone of the tension. Faces I hadn't seen since highschool and some college. Jongdae stared with eyes wide with a mouth filled with food that soon turned into a mischievous, lopsided grin. Kyungsoo's face held no sign of emotion towards my appearance, but I didn't need to see one to know how he felt. Chanyeol eyes felt distant as he continued eating and leaving me out as if I was not existant; Like always. Kimmi eyes landed on every other place other than myself. Sehun's was neutral.Luhan grinned back in satisfaction and Yixing's was indistinctive. There were a few unfamiliar faces amongst the crowd. "Hey..." It was all in unison from some, but ithers kept quiet. The table was littered with food probably cooked by Kimmi. My heels clicked against the floor as I walked awkwardly towards the table. Minseok had left me to fend for myself as he excused himself to deliver my bags upstairs. Maybe this was a bad Idea. How many years had passed? Some 5 and some 9. " That's Minseok's." Had I gotten off track? Gotten too caught up in my own thoughts to realize that the chair I was about to take out was not open for me. Kyungsoo's eyes bore into mine as if the words he muttered so rudely shouldn't have any effect on anyway I felt. "There's no room for you." Something told me he wasn't talking about the amount of chairs in the room. I reluctantly let go embarrassed at how blunty he had scolded me in front of everyone. "Sorry." "There's an extra chair in the storage closet." A voice unfamilar sounded from across the room. As she rose, I realized she was pregnant and very far along. Luhan gently but quickly ushered her back down taking the responsibility of retrieving the chair.She smiled waving me over towards her side of the table which I made sure to quickly move towards to avoid kyungsoo's gaze. Minseok climned down the stairs and smiled as he took his seat beside his wife. " So, as I was saying. I think we should all go snow boarding tommorow." Sehun continued on with the conversation from before being interrupted. All of the women groaned as you looked around with curious eyes. "But, Chanyeol baby. That's boring." A woman whined as all the the others nodded there heads in agreement. " I think the ladies should go shopping." " Fine." Sehun sighed. " The women will go shopping and the men will go snowboarding." When they made these plans did they include me too? " Nah, I heard the hotsprings around here are better." " oh, can it ratboy." Sehun hissed at Chanyeol causing the whole table to erupt in laughter. I remembered that nickname. The nickname Chanyeol hated with a passion. Chanyeols smile turned into a deep scowl at the mention of the name. " stop calling m
