CHAPTER 20

Sehun is really-really strange these days I tell you.

Seriously, if he was childish, he became REALLY childish until I had to feed him for lunch, combed his hair or sang for him when it was time for him to sleep.

If he was naughty, he became REALLY naughty. He would ask me to kiss him, he would tease me with those cheesy lines or he would sneakily hug me or secretly kiss me when I nagged at him.

He knew that I’d stop nagging if he do that,  huh..

And sometimes he was a bit ert, though..

I also didn’t have any idea what had gone wrong with him.

And to tell you, right now, he was doing something strange again. 

He was looking at his phone all the time with a frown plastered on his face.

I wondered what he was looking at.

I just came here 30 minutes ago but I felt like going home already. Seriously, when I came just now, he didn’t greet me with a bright face like always but with a straight face so unlike him.

And right now, he made me feel like I was a statue, a rock, a wall or whatever. Whenever I asked something, he just replied with a ‘hum’ or a nod. All he did was concentrating on his phone.

I was a bit hurt.. if I know this, I wouldn’t come here.

“Sehun..”

He still didn’t shift his attention from his phone.

“Yah.. Sehun.”

No response..

“SEHUN!”

He turned his head to me and then he sighed. “What?” He asked with a bored tone. 

Seriously, where was the happy Sehun? Was he bored when I was around?

“Stop playing with your phone and let’s play something. I’m bored.” I said.

I never felt bored whenever I came to his house because he always had something to play with me or we would just chat around, but now..

“Play what.." he sighed and put his phone on the table before he walked into the toilet and closde the door shut.

I frowned. What was wrong with him? To say that he was mad at me was impossible because I just came here.

I felt hurt..

I glanced at his phone on the table. Was it related with that phone?

I grabbed the phone on the table. At the same time, his phone vibrated and a new message popped up.

from: JunMyeon hyung

Just follow what I said.

Just follow what I said? What did it means? 

When I was about to open their whole conversation, someone snatched the phone from me.

“Don’t ever touch my phone!” Sehun yelled at me.

I was speechless. Was touching his phone that big of a deal until he had to yell at me? I never yelled at him, but he yelled at me just because I touched his phone. I felt useless to my bone.

He seemed to realize his action before ruffling his hair in frustration.  “I-I’m sorry. I-I didn’t mean to yell at you.” He wiped his face and took the remote control. “Let’s watch cartoons.” He said and began to search the channel as he sat beside me.

I was serious.

I really hate him right now.

My mood suddenly down and I can’t help about that. His attention is not at the television but at his phone. And he didn’t even bother to start a conversation with me.

I really want to go home right now.

“Sehun, I want to go home.” I said emotionlessly as I get up from my seat.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

He sighed. “Okay. Be careful.”

That was all? He was not going to prevent me from going home without at least asking me why?

Did my presence annoy him that much?

Wordlessly, I grabbed my jacket and went out of his house. It was still early for me to go home, but I didn’t care anymore.

I was not needed, right?!

◆◆◆◆◆ 

I sighed as I entered the house.

Eh? Who’s that?

I saw a boy, probably the same age with me, playing an ipad with Chanyeol happily at the living room. 

I entered the kitchen and stood beside my mum who was baking a cake.

“Omma, who is the boy with Channie oppa?” I asked.

“Oh, he is Tao, my friend’s son. He is two years younger than you.” She said as she busily did her business with her cake.

I nodded. “What is he doing here?”  

“He is suffering from autism. His mum asked me to take care of him for a while because there wasno one to take care of him. His mother went outstation and tonight she will take him back. Go and play with him." My mother said. 

Autism?

Oh, I’m a pro with autistic boys.. heh.

I gr
