"Hi" He greets.

"Well, Hi" She replies.

"Your sister ?" He asks pointing at Sette with his eyes.

"Sette ah.." She calls out to her sister and it does not take Sette a moment to realize who it was.

"Oppa ?" Sette's eyes widen and she quickly cover her mouth with both her hands and looks around as if to notice if anyone has noticed who he was. 

Luhan drags the chair and sits with them, still not removing the mask and frequently looking around for if there'd be any fans. Jaehee narrows her eyes at how mysterious he was being right now.

"Do you want to go somewhere else ?" She asks from him after a minute or so of observing how uncomfortable he was.

"Hm ? No it's fine" He says. It makes Jaehee smile wider. Understanding everything around her had taken a weird turn, she decides to do something.

"Sette ah, shall we go somewhere else. Where you guys could enjoy ?" She suggests. Myungsoo beams very wide at her being the adorable kid he was as he puts both his hands around Sette and pulls her closer to him.

"That will be lovely, right, baby ?" He smiles back at Sette. 

Sette, in reply pinches his nose making themselves look even cuter. They get up when the pair had won almost everyone's attention in the cafe.

Jaehee eyes Myungsoo and Sette hand in hand walking before them taking a long stroll in the beach. She continues to stare at them as her black long hair flows away from the sea, and her feet  continuously sinks in the sand.

"So..." She finally looks at him by her side, still wearing the mask and the cap. "How are you doing ?" She adds.

"I am just, fine." He says as he forces in a smile. 

He was not very certain of the reason why his behavior had taken a weird turn.

"Do you often.... go out , like this ?" She asks. 

LuHan feels the need to tell that he only followed her to see how her day goes, but keeps it to himself. 

"She is not your real sister, is she ?" He tries to change the subject.

"Hm ? Sette ? Aneeya. Her mum and dad, adopted me. Two years back, that was." She explains. Hey eyes speaking of how hard it must have been for her.

"Before that ?" Luhan asks, curiosity building drop by drop in him.

"I was in an orphanage. For two weeks."

"Only for two weeks ?"

"LuHan I ....." She takes a moment. She turns to him and scans his face slowly. It was difficult to figure him out and to figure out how he was so familiar. 

"Never mind" She says before taking a breath and adding " I do not know who I am or what I am or just... anything. LuHan. Two years ago, those nuns staring at me is the first ever memory I have. They gave me a name. I became Jaehee with them. I became a person.... with them" She ends  with a very long sigh.

Luhan looks away. His eyes make a terrible attempt of keeping the tears falling, though he could not believe his eyes dared to tear up. The right choice could have made a huge difference. The life she is living would have been very different. If only, he had made the right choice. The first ever time LuHan had her opening up about her past has LuHan regretting every single second of his life. He pictures that girl who fell on her knees after hearing everything he had to say, not for the first time though, may be for the thousandth time, and to think she left her whole world because of him, starts to break him apart.

He looks back at the adorable girl walking beside him, and finds their hands entangled. A second he takes for a stupid decision as he pulls her to him and puts his other hand around her. Jaehee is startled by his sudden movement and stares at him with both her eyes widened.


"Lu ..." He does not let her finish as he tilts his head and presses his lips on those rosy lips of hers. Jaehee's eyes close slowly as she takes him in returning the kiss. Her head turns allowing him better access. Luhan runs his sinful hands on her back as he loses himself in the kiss. 

Slowly pulling off from the kiss, he again presses his lips close to her ear and whispers 

"How about dinner ?"

Jaehee helplessly stares at him. Unsure of what was happening.

"LuHan, what are you doing ?" She asks mentally. Losing the courage to bring herself to actually speak up.

"Huh?" She whispers.

"Dinner, meet me up at the practice room" He says, still avoiding her eyes. Jaehee's eyes start tearing up for whatever the reason she was not aware of. For the third time that day Luhan finds herself pressing his lips on her, forehead this time, before he leaves so herself was not around him anymore. The feelings were going in the wrong way. Knowing all his actions were what he was pulling on due to the massive amount of regret running in his mind, he could not help himself.
