12 YEARS AGO

He pulled her hand towards the field outside of his house. It had rained heavily and there were puddles everywhere. At the end of the field was a goal post and in the middle had a ball. 

'Let's play football,' he asked grabbing the ball.

'Are you crazy? It's still raining!' she said back feeling tiny raindrops with her right palm. 'I came here with my family to have dinner with yours, not play ball.' she turned 'I'm going back.' 

As soon as she started walking, he kicked the ball hard and it flew in the air and landed right on her head, causing her to fall in a puddle near her. She was stunned at what had happened. Few seconds ago she was walking and now she's in the puddle feeling her head sting. Her head hurt a lot that she was about to cry but, she tried to hold back her tears. 

Him, on the other hand didn't expect the ball would actually land right at her head. To see if she was alright, he ran towards her.

She stood up, finding her little pink dress dirty and wet. My mother is so going to kill me. 'Look what you did to my dress!' she screamed.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her and walk towards the backdoor into a room which was a laundry.

'Take that out and put this one on,' he directed her while handing her his mother's shirt. She did as he said because he looked like he wanted to help and she watched his next actions.

He took the dress and tossed it in the washing machine and put in a lot amount of detergent. He knew what he was doing. He always seen his mother do so. But he wasnt sure of which buttons to press so, he pressed random buttons and the machine started to work.

'Will it be okay?' she asked with a worried expression.

'It should be,' he said staring at the machine as it moves, turning back at her.

She nodded innocently like a puppy.

'By the way, I'm Luhan. I like soccer. I'm leaving to China tomorrow,' he said handing out his right hand to her.

'I'm Yo Hyun. I like ballet. China?,' she said also handing out her right hand and they shook hands. 

Suddenly, the machine made weird noises and at the same time a lightning struck nearby followed by a heavy rain. The room went dark. And the next thing Luhan felt someone hugging him.

Yo Hyun.

'Are you scared of thunders?' he asked, suprised of the sudden hug. He felt her nodding by his shoulder. He didn't know what to do. He then felt his knee level wet and bubbly. 'Bubbles?' Confused, he scooped a handful of the bubbles and brought it to his nose. 'The machine!'

Before he could ran another lightning struck and Yo Hyun screamed and hugged him tighter. 'Hey, don't cry,' he said as he felt his shoulder getting wet. Must bee Yo Hyun's tears. He hugged her back and whispered to her ear.

'It's okay. Everything's going to be alright,' 

Then, he heard people calling their names. They moved to which direction where the sound was coming from and tried to walk through the dark room. They saw small lights and head towards it.

'Kids?! Are you in here? Bubbles? What happened in here?' Mr. Lu said going deeper into the room.

'Hyunnie, Luhan? Where are you?' Mr. Park screamed.

'There you are!,' Mrs. Lu as she saw the figure of the two kids, pulling them towards her. 'Wait, is that my shirt?'
