My Little Deer

Chapter 3

The walk to Sehun's house was.. pretty far. Luhan has never walked far away from that abandoned place where he called home. But as they were walking into this unknown place, for Luhan, all the houses he saw were perfect. Not caved in, old-looking, abandoned, and all those things.It was the opposite.

"Wow! It's so pretty!" Luhan yelled, which Sehun had to shush him because there were people around. 

"Yeah.. Don't get too excited. It's just houses, like you've never seen one before," Sehun whispered the last part, thinking that Luhan didn't hear him, but he did.

"I have seen houses before! Just not as perfect like these houses," Luhan replies as he ran his hand through his messy hair. Sehun stopped walking and pushed open a white gate with a big house right behind the fence.

"We're here!" Sehun smiles as he pushes the gate open, holding it for Luhan.  The exterior walls of Sehun's house are light blue, the windows are red, including the door, making it really stand out from the other houses. Luhan's mouth opens slightly, very amazed. He never in his life seen a house so.. perfect! He's been living in a poor-like area for almost 10 years, which explains why he hasn't seen such a beautiful house, ever. "Let me get the keys to the house, then we can finally go inside."

Sehun  walks to his porch and picks up a flower pot. Under the pot was golden keys. He bent down to grab the keys and placed the pot back in its place. Sehun looks for the right key and jabs it in the knob. "Are you coming?" Luhan noticed he has been standing in the same place since he walked in Sehun's yard. "You're a weird kid, y'know.. I like that," Sehun chuckles as he unlocks the door.

"Thanks!" Luhan smiled as he walks up to Sehun.

"Yeah? Would you mind putting the keys back under the pot? I forgot." 

"Sure!" Sehun tosses the keys at Luhan without warning, failing to catch the keys. He bends down to pick up the keys and put it back under the flower pot.

Luhan walks through opened door and immediately, the smell of lavender hits his nose. The scent reminds him of how his mothers clothes would smell like when he'd hug her. He hasn't smelled anything so fine like that every since then. "I love the smell of your house, Sehun!"

"Thanks. My parents aren't home yet, so relax. Mi casa es su casa," Luhan slightly turns his head, not understand the last sentence Sehun had said to him. "I don't know where you're going to sleep by the way. There's an empty room next to mine, but that's where we keep all our extra stuff, like furniture. But, you can stay in my room until I fix the mess in that room. I'm also not promising that you'll stay here the night because I don't know what my mother and father will say."

"O-okay," Luhan scratches the back of his neck.

"You also reek like shit, shower."

"Where is it?" Luhan asks as he looks around him. He hasn't showered in... Who knows how long?

"Down the hall, to your left. Do you know how to turn on the water? Or at least shower?" Sehun asks. Luhan shakes his head slowly. Sehun groans as he gestures Luhan to follow him to the bathroom. Sehun opens the door and turns on the light. "To turn on the water, pull the knob and the water will come from the head and do the opposite to turn it off." Sehun points at the knob and continues," Turn the knob to the left if you want hot water and right for cold. If you want warm water, then the middle. Got it!?"

"It's too much to learn in a day... I guess I got it," Luhan whispers the beginning, earning a small glare from Sehun. "Do I just stand in there?" Sehun sighs annoyingly and shakes his head.

"No, you take off your clothes then get in there. There's three bottles in there. Two are for your hairrr and the other one is for your bodyyy." Sehun picks two of the bottles up. "These two are shampoo and conditioner, okaayyy? The other one there is body soap, okaayyy?"

"Okaayyyyy!" Sehun groans and puts the bottles back in place. Luhan smiles and pulls both his pants and boxers down, revealing his lower half. Sehun turns back around and his eyes widen.

"You could've done that right after I left," Luhan took his shirt off, throwing it on the floor where his dirty pants laid.

"But you said to-"

"Whatever. Just shower quickly and I'll leave clothes for you. Plus, you're small," Sehun lips curled as he picks up the dirty clothes and leaves the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

"What!? You now just noticed that I'm smaller than you?"

"Not that you idiot!" Luhan shrugs walks closer to the tub. He turns the knob for warm water and puts his hand in to feel if the water is just right. When the water is at the temperature Luhan wants it to be, he gets in and takes a fresh shower for the first time in what it feels like forever. He did shower when he was out there, but not as frequent. 

"Dove? Isn't that a type of bird?" Luhan picks up the shampoo bottle and observes it. He opens the lid and takes a big sniff. "Smells so good~!" He squealed. Luhan squeeze a huge amount of shampoo on his hand and puts the bottle back.

So refreshing. Wish I can live a life like Sehun's. His life is so.. perfect!
