My mind kept on lingering around the boy that I saw before. He was.. beautiful? He looks like a girl, to be honest.
"Son, it's almost time for your lessons."
"Yes, father."
I leisurely took a dip in my bath tub. The warm water and sweet essence made my muscles relax. As I slowly went to my closet, I felt a tremendous pain creeping to my chest as I struggled to walk towards my medicine box. I took out my pills and swallowed one. The pain began to subside as I rested my head on my cabinet's door.
"Young master, is something wrong?"
A loud knock came from the huge double doors that always made me feel safe.
"I'm fine, hyung."
As I heard Min Ho hyung's footsteps retreated, I silently got up and made myself as presentable as I can.

"And thus, by PMI, P of k+1, is true making the statement P of k true for all positive odd integers."
"Correct, young master."
Math has always been my strength in the academic field.
"Young master, you are finished of today's lessons. "
"Hyung, can we walk around the park?"
"As you wish."
Min Ho hyung took me to a park near Mr. Xi's house. And there, I saw him again. But this time, he's not playing alone.
As he scored another goal, his friends, I assume, all ran to him and gave him a hug.
"Hyung, who is he? "
"He is Mr. Xi's step-son, Lu Han."
Mr. Xi has a son?
"Hyung, I wanna play soccer, can you fetch my equipments for me? "
"But, young master, your hea-"
"Just one game, I promise."
He nodded hesitantly and went to fetch my clothes and equipment.
"Hey Kai."
I shouted, and a boy with a darker skin than the others turned around. I waved at him as he smiled and ran his way towards me.
"Hyung! You're here! Wanna play with us? I miss you so much. How did you get out? Did your father approve this? "
"Woah there, playboy. My father approved of it because Min Ho hyung came with me. And, yes. I would like to join you for a game."
"YES!"
He dragged me to the middle of the field.
"Everyone, this is Min Seok hyung. He's older than any of us. And he wants to join for a game."
"You're playing wearing that?"
A guy named Se Hun eyed me.
"Don't worry, my but-"
"Young master, your clothes."
Their eyes widened because of how Min Ho hyung addressed me. I just smiled at them as I made my way to the rest room to change.

Their team has Kris, Tao, Lay, Chen, Se Hun, and him.
They were good. Pretty good. But not even a professional player can defeat my teamwork with Kai.
"Goal!"
As the game ended, I lied on the field, smiling, as Kai lied on top of me.
"Hyung, you're still the best forward I have ever seen."
"And you're still the best mid-field player I have ever met."
He chuckled as he helped me stand up.
"That was a great game, guys. Min Seok hyung and Kai was very swift."
Lay and Tao complimented.
"Don't mess with a sought-out national player and his apprentice."
I elbowed Kai as he mentioned the thing that was supposed to be kept as a secret.
"Sought-out national player?"
The others had curious glances. And I had to change the subject.
"So, I haven't seen you before. Lu Han right? "
He nodded. I held out a hand.
"Kim Min Seok. You can call me Xiumin."
His smiled as I mentioned my false name. Shit. He knows.
"I know. The famous football rookie player of the national team, right?"
The others gasped as I lowered my head, not wanting to see their surprised looks.
"Yep. That's him. The one and only."
Kai chuckled as he announced the shocking news.
