"Thanks for walking me home" Seihee said

 

"You're welcome" Chen said with a smile "Oh by the way..."

 

"Yes?" she asked

 

"Would you mind if I, you know, asked for your number?" he asked as he shifted his foot from left to right

 

"Eh..." her face turned red, causing him to also blush

 

"Ah you don't have to give it now" he said, "I mean, we're not that close---"

 

"Sure" she said

 

"E-Eh!?" he said as his face brightened up, "R-Really..!?"

 

"We're friends, afterall" she replied with a smile

 

Chen was obviously so happy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Where have you been?" Luhan's housekeeper asked when he entered the house

 

"Amusement park" he answered

 

"Eh? With who? Your girlfriend? You have one now?" the old lady asked, surprised that Luhan went to an amusement park

 

"Nope" he answered with a sigh

 

"With your male friends then?" she asked again

 

"Not them either" he said

 

"Eh...with who then? Don't tell me you went alone" she asked again, now curious and worried at the same time

 

"Of course I didn't go alone" he said as he started walking up the stairs, "I went with my childhood friend"

 

"Oh, I didn't know you have one" she said

 

Luhan stopped and stared at the floor.

 

"I had two, actually" he said in a whisper

 

"Eh...tell me about them" she replied

 

Luhan looked at the lady who's been looking after him for almost three years now---after that incident---and gently smiled at her.

 

"Maybe next time, auntie" he said before he continued going upstairs

 

In the second floor, there were three rooms and Luhan entered his, which was nearest to the staircase.

 

"Woof woof!" a small old dog greeted

 

It ran to Luhan and circled around his left foot. He picked it up.

 

"I'm home" he said

 

"Woof woof woof!" it replied

 

"A lot happened today" he said as he sat on his bed

 

"Woof woof?" it responded, tilting its head

 

Luhan chuckled.

 

"The two of you are still similar" he said as he lifted his dog the way he did to Haneul

 

"You know..." he added, "I don't know what to do anymore...It's been almost three years since I started distancing myself from her...but today....today I felt like we came back to how we used to be in the past"

 

"Woof" it said as it jumped to the floor

 

Luhan then stood up.

 

"Starting tomorrow..." he said, "Maybe I should treat her the same way I did in the old days"

 

Afterall...It's not her fault in the first place...it's mine.

 

He then went to take a shower.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"It's time to study again..." Xiumin said

 

"I want to go back homw and sleep" Baekhyun added

 

"Guys, look at the bright side--" D.O was trying to cheer them up

 

"Kyungsoo oppa!" Haneul called out from behind them

 

"Goodmorning!" she and Seihee greeted

 

"Ah noonas~" Tao said

 

"Morning!" they also greeted

 

Chanyeol then notices a shadow---someone running towards them

 

"Ah, there he is" he announced and they all looked

 

"Late as ever" Kai said with a smirk and others laughed

 

"H-Heya guys...am I already late?" Luhan asked, still huffing

 

Haneul freezed.

 

"Whoa...its so early in the morning but you're already exhausted" Sehun said as he helped his friend up

 

"Yeah I know I know..." Luhan replied as he catched his breath

 

He then sees Haneul behind them.

 

"Ha..." he muttered

 

"Hm? You okay?" Sehun asked

 

Luhan stood up and walked pass them and stopped in front of Haneul. She looked up at him.

 

"Ah, good morning oppa---"

 

Luhan suddenly hugs her.

 

"Good morning Haneul~!" he said as he smiled brightly

 

And they all freezed.
