Jongdae and Minseok were complete different people with completely different personalities and different backgrounds but they had one thing in common and that is how messed up their past is .

"How old are you Jongdae?" Minseok asked his new roommate " oh um 19" replied Jongdae " oh so your two years younger than me . Pretty young " minseok concluded " I noticed you've decided to call me Jongdae " Jongdae pointed out "oh yeah cus well I think Jongdae sounds nice " Xiumin smiled "really ? Lot of people prefer Chen and that nickname was given to me by my friend who insist on me calling him 'mom' ....yeah I don't get it either " Jongdae exclaimed
" you have a friend who wants you to call him mom? Your real mom might get jealous " minseok said
" oh I wouldn't worry about that cus I don't have a mom " Jongdae said unfazed . Yet it made Minseok feel guilty for bringing it up he slowly tried to block out everything else and just pretend like he never said it . Jongdae being the amazing people person he is immediately understood what his hyung was doing " Aish no worries I never had a mom so it doesn't really hurt and also-" Jongdae was cut off by a loud knock on the door.

"Open up I got food !!!" Called out a soothing voice in Minseok's opinion.
" hold up ...*sigh* ..mom..." Jongdae said reluctantly . As soon as the door opened ...lets just say ' gravity blew up in Jongdae's face '

Minseok was surprised with what he saw right at the moment but he was shocked to what he didn't see . What shocked him was that he didn't see the owner of the voice move to tackle his roommate to the ground . What surprised him was when he was acting like he was arresting Jongdae . Chanting a phrase ' FBI put your hands in the air . You have the right to remain silent , you have the right for an attorney .anything you say or do will be held against you at the court of law . ' which was replied with a shrill scream followed by a muffled laugh and  yelling at the said boy to get off of him .
" Baekhyun get off your not as light as you think you are " Jongdae said his face resting on the floor " who said I thought I was light weighted ?" Said Baekhyun wriggling his eyebrows.

The amount of patience Jongdae must have to put with that amazed Minseok .

" if you noticed I have company " Jongdae cleared . " hah? Oh you do! Um hi yeah sorry for greeting you with such a sight I've really been watching 'Castle' too much " Baekhyun rambled . Minseok noticed that Baekhyun was the kind of person whose comfortable with anyone .
" hi I'm Kim Minseok also known as Xiumin " he introduced himself " and I'm Byun Baekhyun the mother of this adorable child here " he said petting Jongdae's head " yeah and this adorable child is about to be a pancake if a certain someone doesn't get off " Jongdae stated ,clearly wanting to Baekhyun to get off of him .

" mother ?" Asked Minseok " mhm yup I take care of him like my own child ." Baekhyun said while getting off of Jongdae " anyways you said you got food ? " Jongdae asked " oh right ...yeah...no. I just wanted you to open the door as soon as possible  " Baekhyun stated flatly " whyyyy!? I'm hungry now ..." Jongdae whined .
" why don't we go to the cafeteria and get something to eat I'm sure even Minseok -" before Baekhyun could finish Jongdae cut him off saying " hyung, Minseok hyung . He's older than us " " ok , hyung must be hungry too . So shall we go? . And by the way which fountain of youth did you drink from hyung ?" Baekhyun asked with a serious face . Minseok couldn't tell if he was joking or not but he was hoping that it was a joke .

When they arrived at the cafeteria Jongdae and Baekhyun headed towards a group of people seated at the far end and Minseok followed suit .
When they arrived near the table Baekhyun introduced Minseok to the group of people . Minseok noticed a very familiar face in the small crowd ...Sehun .
" Sehun what are you doing here?"
Minseok asked " oh Xiumin hyung didn't you know ? I'm attending classes here " he replied " aren't you like 17 " Minseok asked confused " hyung you do know that I graduated early " 'well that clears up a lot this kid is super smart', thought Minseok .
" Sehun do you maybe want to go for some coffee today ?" A boy next to Sehun asked who Minseok believed was named Jongin . " oh sure nini . Yeah we can go "
After that they all chatted happily  . Minseok met new people that includes Yifan , Chanyeol , Jongin , Jongdae and Baekhyun .

Minseok decided to take a breather and headed out to the gardens. And out of the school grounds . He walked aimlessly without no real destination . He didn't know where his subconscious  was taking him . When he finally stopped he realized where he was taken .
The cemetery. Of course it would be here . He walked towards three tomb stones were aligned in a straight line . He paid his respects to his family members. Next he headed to a single tombstone which was standing in isolation . Xi Lu Han , was engraved in the slate stone . Minseok crouched down and slowly touched the upright stone . " I miss you ... Why did you have to go? First my family then you , I know it's been three years but...never mind . You know I'm turning 21 this year ." He honestly felt really stupid to talk to a slab of concrete but at that moment all he could think was Luhan sitting next to him listening to him like he used to . Sure it looked stupid and Minseok knew it but it made him feel a little less worse .
After his little one sided conversation with ' Luhan ' Minseok noticed some flowers at the bottom of the tombstone . He had a pretty good idea who it was but he was surprised the boy still came to visit Luhan's grave considering how hurt he was to even think about it . The flowers were slowly dying but they didn't look that old .

'So he still comes here ? 'Thought Minseok . That's when he felt a presence behind him . He turned to identify the person even though he had a hunch on who it was .
" hello Sehun " Minseok said nonchalantly " hyung..." Sehun said while crouching down as well " you still come here ? I'm surprised " said Minseok " hyung I can't forget him he was always there , he was like my guardian angel. My own angel , always there for me but now that he's not here ..."sehun's voice failed him as he looked at the ground and sniffled  " did you come alone ?" Minseok asked his hand brushing across the engraving of Luhan's name .
" No hyung ...he came with me " he pointed to a certain place where another figure was kneeling in front of a grave , " he understands me hyung , he's gone through the same thing . It led us to be good friends  " Sehun said smiling at the figure " Jongin ?" Minseok asked turning to look at Sehun.
" yeah he lost someone important to him as well " Sehun said eyes still on the tanned skin boy.
" Luhan would be happy to see you happy Sehun" Minseok said ,even though he didn't know why said it , it just slipped out .
"Hyung ?...what?" Sehun asked puzzled .

" Sehun... It's okay to move on. It's ok to let go..." Minseok smiled at the younger.
