"Are you going to keep ignoring me?!" Sehun shouted at Luhan's back.
The older boy hasn't said anything to him and it's driving Sehun crazy. He doesn't know what he did to deserve this type of treatment......okay maybe he does.
Being 2 hours late to a meeting isn't exactly acceptable, but no matter how many times Sehun tried to explain that he didn't mean to be late, the older boy was mute. He didn't even acknowledge Sehun.
The fact that Luhan refuses to speak or even look at him aggravated Sehun. A lot.
"YAH!! Tell me what's wrong!" Sehun practically screamed, having had enough of the silence.
Nothing.
The older boy just kept on walking ahead. Sehun glared at Luhan's back as he ran to catch up.
They were in front of the house and Luhan was getting his keys out when Sehun made a final desperate attempt to get the boy's attention. He grabbed a fist-full of Luhan's shirt and held on, as if his life depended on it.
Luhan stood frozen to the spot.
"Can you at least tell me why...?" Sehun pleaded from behind him.
Luhan released a sad sigh. "Forget it," he muttered so quietly that Sehun had to strain his ears to catch it.
"Are you mad at me?" Sehun bravely asked, even if he was becoming deathly afraid of the answer as the silence continue to creep between the two.
Nothing.
Luhan didn't move nor speak. He couldn't. It was all too much. He was completely drained.
"I'll take that as yes." Sehun persisted, still holding on to Luhan's shirt. He was gripping it so hard, wrinkles would surely form if he lets it go.
"Was it that important? Whatever it was, you can just tell me at home, why make me meet you at the playground? And since I didn't show up, you should have left. What kind of person waits 2 hours?" Sehun continued.
Luhan's eyes moisten, but he willed himself not to surrender.
He holds on to the tears... the tears that were threatening to slide down his cheeks. The tears that Sehun can't see.
Luhan sniffed. "I'm really tired."
Sehun could only see his back, but he could tell that Luhan was trying his best to steady his voice.
A pang of guilt strikes Sehun.
He slowly lets go of Luhan's shirt.
The older boy put the key in the door and turns it. Sehun reluctantly followed him inside.
"Hey Luhan hyung! How did it go?" The Baekyeol couple popped up in the hallway as soon as Luhan got in, almost as if they were waiting.
"S-Sehun???" Baekhyun's eyes widen as he saw the maknae step in right behind Luhan. Both boys possessing dark expressions.
The Baekyeol couple exchanged glances with one another.
Sehun was about to ask them what, but Luhan suddenly slung his backpack off his shoulders.
Luhan unzipped his backpack and got out a pack of sparklers.
"Here. I didn't get to use it, so..have fun." He handed the pack to Chanyeol and left the hallway without another word.
Sehun watched the figure disappear from view. Once again, something tugged his heart. Why.....
Chanyeol cleared his throat. "Umm. You were with Luhan hyung?"
