"What are you going to buy again?"

I asked Sehun while we're leisurely walking by the boutiques.

"A bracelet." He answered. "For my mother."

"Is it her birthday?"

"Mmh.." He turned to me. "And you're invited." My eyes went a bit wide. I have never met his mother. I just know that she's not his biological mother. He told me his mother died when she gave birth to him.

"What does she like? I'm going to buy a gift!" I exclaimed. "Do you think she'll like a pair of diamond earrings? How about a necklace? A watch? Oh god, I should've saved a lot of money."

"And you should've told me earlier! I didn't bring all my money with me." I said in panic. He laughed and draped an arm around my shoulders before slightly squeezing me.

"Relax. Her birthday's next week. You still have a lot of time." Shortly after, I bombarded him with questions about his mother's likes and dislikes, and he gladly answered all of it.

"When will you go back home?" He asked.

"After our short vacation with the others." My gaze lingered on him which caused him to glance at me with a small smirk on his lips. I immediately knew what he's thinking so I spoke right away.

"Would you like to come?" The small smirk on his lips soon disappeared.

"M-Me?"

"Who else?" I said as I watch him in amusement. He suddenly looks nervous which I find really entertaining.

"Uh, sure.." he cleared his throat. I let out a laugh when he suddenly started asking questions about my parents' likes and dislikes. He also asked me if they prefer a formal and serious guy but I told him that he should just be himself.

We went to a known jewelry shop and there we found the perfect necklace for his mother. After that, we both decided to finally eat after almost an hour of strolling around. When Sehun held the door handle, another hand held the other handle. I turned my head and my lips parted.

It's Jackson.. and clinging onto his arm is Yoonah.

And when she saw us, she quickly let go of Jackson's arm and gave us a smile.

"This looks like a double date."

Jackson chuckled and teasingly look at me. Sehun sighed. We're already seated, waiting for our food, and I notice how he tries his best to avoid eye contact with the two.

"Sehun." Yoonah, who's sitting across him, called his attention.

"Mother asked me to accompany her to the spa tomorrow."

Mother?

His cold gaze drifted on her. "Why are you telling me that?"

She smiled. "What do you think should I buy for her? I want to give her a memorable gift."

So, they're talking about his mother. And she must be really close with her, then..
