Saving Luhan

4 The First Morning

Eula's POV

15 years ago..

"What's your name?" I asked the new kid.

"I don't know." His voice sounds so gentle and soft like a pillow.

"Why not? You should have a name. Mine is Eula. I'm four. You look seven. Are you seven?"

He looked at me with his crystal brown eyes. I stroke his dark brown hair and noticed his pale skin, like snow. He has a big wound on his right arm.

One night, Ms. Kim, the director of the orphanage brought him in. He was bleeding but thank God he was sleeping. That must be really painful. It's a pity. He looks so kind.

"Come let's play!" I took his hand and led him to the balcony where I usually watch the street. I like that place because I always see kids my age with their mother and father.

"Do you have a mother?" I asked him while we both watched a mother pushing her daughter in the swing.

He shrugged. He's a kid but he's very forgetful.

"Why not? Jongdae told me I just popped out in Ms. Kim's office so I don't have parents. But I don't believe him. My parents are angels. They're right there." I pointed my small hands to the sky.

His eyes followed my finger and raised his cute little hand to block the sunlight. I looked at him and I gasped at how he shone against the light.

"Suho."

He looked at me confused.

"From now on, you're gonna be Suho. My guardian." I smiled at him and he smiled back. "And I'm gonna be your angel." I rested my head on his shoulder happily.

"Okay." Suho said softly, placing his head on mine.

My alarm clock went off and I reached for it on the bedside table. When I did so, I lost my balance and my butt met the carpeted floor.

"Ow." The pain woke me up. But instead of getting up, I lay my back flat on the floor and gazed up the gold lines on the cream colored ceiling.

"My first day of work."

I still can't believe I took this job. How am I supposed to change a person when he obviously didn't like who he was? And "don't fall in love with me". What's that supposed to mean? Plus, his brothers. I've never been with men in one house except for my brother Suho.

Ring!

I immediately sat up just to fall again groaning with the sudden rush of blood to my head. My vision slightly went blank. I ran my hand on my forehead, massaging it gently and humming a non-particular melody with my eyes closed.

"What the hell are you doing?"

My adrenaline rushed forward and I literally jumped up at the voice coming from the corner of my room. To my horror, well not really horror but… aish.

"What- what are you doing here, Luhan? How did you get in here?"

He looked at me from head to toe, exaggerating his pause on my bare legs. I immediately ran to my bed and grabbed the sheets to cover my body. I'm only wearing my tank top and shorts for heaven's sake.

"Yah! What are you doing here?!" I tried my best to stabilize my shaking voice.

But he just raised his eyebrow at me and crossed his arms.

"Your phone is ringing." He said with a blunt tone and I turned around to get my phone.

I shot him a warning look before answering it.
