"You are tall."

20 years ago.

Sehun paced back and forth in his room. He was unconsciously biting on his finger nails. His room was a mess. Dirty laundry everywhere, books scattered, bed unmade. He knew he was going to get scolded by his mother again but he didn’t care. He had other problems to worry about.

High school.

Sehun was going to start his high school the next day. He would be lying if he said he was thrilled.

Middle school was fine for the boy. He had a small group of friends he could play video games with. He met a boy named Luhan and ever since they have been inseparable. And Sehun had been pretty much the top of the class.

Sehun wasn’t sure about high school, sadly. He hated his voice because of the odd crack in his it. Puberty did weird things to him, including the small pimple that had decided to show up out of nowhere on his forehead. He sighed as he looked at the mirror.

“Hey. New school, new hair. That’s my policy.”

“Since when?”

“Since now.” Luhan grinned. “You should be thankful! Finally we look a little different. They won’t call us twins anymore.”

Sehun shrugged. “They are just gonna call us twins with different hair color.”

Luhan wrinkled his nose. “Okay, didn’t think about that.”

A girl passed by, flashing Luhan a shy smile. He winked at her, earning a giggle from her. “See, girls dig blondes.” He had a smug smile on his face.

But I don’t dig girls, Sehun wanted to say, but decided to stay quite. The only person who knew about his uality was his sister Bomi when she found out the stack of gay magazines under his bed. It was awkward at first, but she was pre
