Lifelessly, Sehun dropped to his bed. His head buried deep in his pillow which smelled after lavender. He's been using the same shampoo for years - some things simply wouldn't change even after years. Pushing his head even deeper into pillow he sniffed the lavender fragrance. His breathing got slower... he was about to fall asleep.

''OH SEHUN!!'' Sehun's mother yelled from downstairs.

Sehun shot up. His eyes were wide as he was gasping for air. His mother always knew how to wake her child up. ''Why?''

''WHAT WHY?'' She yelled again, her voice drawing nearer this time.

''Why do you always have to yell at me? Can't you come here, realise that I'm sleeping and carefully - without making any noise, go back to what you've been doing?'' Sehun shouted back.

His mother's head was now peeking into his room through half opened door. Her eyes sparkling a little from a light they reflected. ''You told me not to step into your room ever, EVER, again. You kept on repeating that you're old enough to have some privacy. So excuse me for shouting rather than checking if Your Majesty is asleep or not.''

Sehun sat up properly and shook his head, rethinking about their last argument. When Sehun had some unfinished 'business' that he had to take care of and his mom rushed into his room without knocking. He couldn't even explain at that time. ''Yeah, yeah I've heard that a million times already. But what do you need now? It's 11pm I just came from work, I'm tired as... as... Doesn't matter, but what did you want?'' Last sentence said calmly after he recognized frown on his mother's face.

''You got a letter today'' She said as she neared Sehun. She sat down on the bed and pressed an envelope to his chest. ''It's an invitation for a high school reunion. It's next week.''

''Mom-'' Sehun started but was cut off by his mom's monologue.

''I think you shouldn't go, you know how it was back then. You don't want for that past to destroy you again.''

''Did you open it?'' He asked only to receive a nod from his mother. ''Sehun, you shouldn't open other people's mail.''

''You little don't call me by your name... I got it. I was just curious.'' She said and started for the door.

''As always... you always open my mail. I'm old enough-'' He didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

''Luhan also wrote that everyone should attend.'' With that she closed the door after walking out of his room.

''What- Luhan?'' He opened the envelope at once and started reading.

Oh Sehun.

Just to let you know. We're having a high school reunion next week on Saturday night - 22th August. If you come, or not, it doesn't really matter. I bet you're still the same. Nothing to see, really. But as our homeroom teacher said: ''Everyone should attend.'' so yeah, suit yourself.

Lu Han - class president

Sehun folded the letter neatly and slid it back into envelope. It actually does matter to him. He'll go. He'll show them who he is now. That he has changed. That he has great job, wonderful family. He's happily in... That he's happily single. No. That's not what it will be like. He'll show Luhan that even after he crushed his heart numerous times without knowing it, he found somebody to love. Only now did Sehun realize that he spend past few years of his life only at home or at work. No firends, no relationships.
