@Lu Han "Let's play tag then!" Sehun beamed and got up from his spot, approaching Xiaolu with a bright smile, bouncing up and down in between his steps. "Do you know how to play it?" He asked whilst crinkling his nose and held the shadow's hands in his.

@Oh Sehun "We can do anything!" the shadow explaimed excitedly- knowing that for the first time ever Luhan had let him play with someone. "But I don't know what to do first! I mean there are a lot of thing that we can do."

@Lu Han Sehun let the shadow pull him outside from his hyung's room and trailed next to it, tilting his head after. "What should we do or play?" He asked as they reached the living room and sat on the windowsill while blinking his eyes.

@Oh Sehun Yawning, Luhan nodded before grabbing his pillow again, but only to hug it this time as he watched the two go out of his room.

Xiaolu beamed and waved at the other before pulling him outside the room after saying, "Later Han!"

@Lu Han Nodding his head, Sehun turned his head around and watched the shadow took its form in amazement. Once it did, the boy grinned and greeted Xiaolu before looking at his hyung once again. "Thanks Lulu hyung~" He smiled cutely and turned his attention to the shadow. "Let's play!"

@Oh Sehun Luhan stared for a second at the younger before nodding behind him, were Xiaolu appeared slowly as it started to properly take its form. "Stay here inside, don't go out." he said.

@Lu Han "I'm sure~" The younger responded before beaming at the second sentence. "Really? I can? If yes, I promise I won't play with him for too long!" He said while nodding his head with his eyes sparkling as if he was a five year old child that was given a candy.

@Oh Sehun "You sure?" he asked as he lay on his side to face the younger with one of his eyebrows raised. "Well.. if you want you can just play with Xiaolu or omething now if you want."

@Lu Han The boy just blinked in confusion while standing there before nodding his head as he slowly progressed what Luhan had said. "Oh." Was all that escaped his lips, not quite sure what should he say because he wasn't used to the elder apologizing for something he did. Heck even when Sehun cried whenever they were arguing and such, Luhan never apologized.

Making his way towards the chair that his hyung motioned at, the younger sat down on it before shaking his head. "No, that's all I suppose." He responded and looked over at Luhan, blinking continuously.

@Oh Sehun "For snapping at you like that too harshly unlike before." Luhan admitted as he yawned before motioning the other to sit on a chair beside his bed so the younger wouldn't be tired of just standing. "Any more questions?"

@Lu Han "H-Huh? Oh.." Sehun snapped out from his thoughts and pursed his lips, tilting his head to the side in a curious manner. "W-Why did y-you uhm... W-Why did you apologize?" He asked before biting his lip - afraid that Luhan would snap at him again or worst; mad at him.

@Oh Sehun "Your thoughts are too loud.." Luhan sighed as he laid back down on his bed properly as he heard the other thinking. He just laid there, waiting for another responsefrom sehun, if he'll continue to ask

@Lu Han "I was just asking." He replied with a small pout and a light shrug. He blinked dumbly when the shadow disappeared once again and looked at Luhan, not knowing what was he suppose to do next. Should he ask the reason of the elder's apology or should he just walk out from his room? Furrowing his eyebrows slightly as he was too deep in his thoughts, Sehun didn't pay attention to anything at all.

@Oh Sehun Luhan continued to stare as he watched Sehun and his shadow greet each other. He then followed the latter's movements as he went closer while asking him. "Ofcourse, I am. Why wouldn't I be?" he asked back as he raised an eyebrow before snapping his fingers- making Xiaolu disappear once again.

@Lu Han "Okay...?" Sehun said and blinked, looking back at Luhan who was staring at him. From the corner of his eyes, he could see Xiaolu waved at him and he grinned while turning his head to the shadow, waving back just as happily. "Oh and are you okay Lulu hyung..?" He asked, turning his attention back to Luhan. The boy approached the elder but didn't sit on the latter's bed, knowing that he would kick Sehun just right after.

@Oh Sehun As he heard Sehun speak up, Luhan immediately took the pillow off his face in reflex as he knew that Xiaolu would answer the latter's question and covered the shadows mouth. "No one." he answered instead as he stared at Sehun who kept looking back from him and the shadow.

Xiaolu however, waved happily at Sehun after he greeted it.

@Lu Han Sehun blinked a few times in confusion before seeing Xiaolu and entered Luhan's room. He got even more confuse as he watch the two of them converse - not that he intended to. "Let who in?" He asked while tilting his head in confusion, crinkling his nose after. The boy kept looking back and forth between the elder and the shadow. "And hi Xiaolu~"

@Oh Sehun Oblivious of Sehun entering his room, Luhan stayed still in his position with Xiaolu poking him repeatedly as it called out, "Han~ Han~ Let him in~ You can do it~" it said with a bubbly voice, which Luhan only answered with a snarl. "Stop Xiaolu." he said in attempt to make it stop, but failed.

@Lu Han As soon as he arrived in front of the elder's room, Sehun heard he was talking with someone so decided to just wait for a moment before knocking the door. "Hyung? You're okay?" He asked and felt something was wrong with Luhan.

He turned the doorknob and pushed the door open, peeking his head inside. "Hyung?"

@Oh Sehun Luhan propped himself down on his bed as he stared up at the dark sky blankly. 'Did I just really do that..' he asked himself before he grabbed a pillow and buried his face on it. Lu Han have just apologized; for the first time eversince that tragedy that changed his life totally.

He had unconciously summoned his shadow out and it just sat there on the bed, blinking while looking at Luhan as it whispered, "Its better to bring back the old you.. Let Sehun in.."

But Luhan just grumbled through the pillow. 'How can I do that when I already forgot?'

@Lu Han Sehun nodded at the answer before blinking as the elder called out his name, waiting for the latter to speak. His eyes widened slightly upon the word 'sorry' escaping Luhan's lips because he knew the other too well to know that he never apologized.

'Was I hearing things?' He wondered and tilted his head, furrowing his eyebrows as he watched his hyung leave to his bedroom. "Hyung! Yah hyung!" Sehun called out but he was a little too late as Luhan's figure had disappeared.

Getting up from the windowsill, he collect all of his courage before heading up to Luhan's bedroom as well.

@Oh Sehun "Pacing around back and forth, feeling uneasy about someone talking about me while waiting for you return." he answered as he followed the younger and sat on another chair before sighing.

"Sehun.." he started as he cleared his throat. "Well.. I uhh.." he continued as he was wandering what to say.

He groaned in frustration as he couldn't and so he stood up while grumbling a quick, "Sorry." before he immediately left to go up his bedroom.

@Lu Han "Xiaolu just told me... things. And he became my friend, that's why I seem a bit happier." Sehun answered almost immediately and purposely left out the 'Luhan part' that the shadow told him - well he did promise Xiaolu to keep it a secret and so he did.

Casually, he made his way towards the window and sat on the windowsill. It was his favorite spot to sit at whenever he came over to the elder's place. He liked the view outside. "What were you up to when I was with Xiaolu?"

@Oh Sehun As Luhan listened to the other tell him about his whereabouts earlier, he nodded until his eye-twitched at the mention of his shadow. "What'd Xiaolu tell and do to you? You seem.. a bit happier.. I mean your aura is radiating something that was the opposite of earlier when you walked away.." he asked as he explained.

He tried to stop himself from talking too much but failed to do so, 'I think that's the longest I've said so far..The heck..' he thought to himself before shaking his head as he cloed the door.

@Lu Han Sehun walked inside when Luhan signaled him to and blinked a few times before answering the question. "My usual hiding place. You know, the one that has a great view and no one can see the place unless they're with me." He answered as he pointed towards the opposite side of Luhan's territory. "Anyway, thanks for sending Xiaolu." He added and smiled his well-known smile towards his hyung.

@Oh Sehun "Where have you been?" was the first thing that he said upon seeing the younger. He sighed before opening the door wider, signalling the other to come inside. Luhan felt bad, but he didn't know why. He just felt it and he just wanted to apologize to the other but he didn't know how.

@Lu Han When the shadow vanished, Sehun mentally frowned as he didn't have a chance to say goodbye towards it. Looking at Luhan who was now standing in front of him, the younger gave him a small smile. "Hey hyung.." He mumbled and waved his hand slightly.

@Oh Sehun The shadow led Sehun back to Luhan's place while conversing happily. They both passed by the dark side of the forest that strangely grew trees with purple leaves. Black and Purple everywhere until they reached Luhan's house finally.

The shadow stook a step forward before vanishing into thin air as it opened the door. Only to have Luhan standing there, now infront of Sehun.
