The Secret
The grip is getting hard on Nayeon's hand as the excitement controls Luhan's heart. After all these years, he feared to come and visit, finally today, he steps on his homeland and he breathes the same air with his parents. Beijing, place where Luhan spent most of his teenage life, always gives Luhan a warm vibe.
"You're happy" Nayeon whispers as she squishes Luhan's hand, letting him know that she feels it too.
"I am" Luhan looks into Nayeon's eyes and smiles. He really is glad to be here with Nayeon, the one he loves so much. He can feel his stomach flip in excitement when he thinks about the time they will spend together in his hometown.
"Everybody will end up be happy tonight" Nayeon caresses Luhan's hand softly as she gives him a reassuring smile. She wants him to remember about the reason why he came here at the first place. It's for reuniting with his parents, and right now, his parents still have no idea about this.

The taxi stop infront of a high gate which separated the road outside with a Lu's mansion. Nayeon peeks through the taxi's window while Luhan did the payment. She drops her jaw because she sees the grand gate of Luhan's home. It's just the gate but she already feels how majesty his home will be like.
"Move your ass" Suddenly Luhan whispers to Nayeon and it makes her jump in surprise.
"Come on" Luhan grins at her because he loves how she reacted.
Without saying a thing, Nayeon walks out the taxi and stares again at the gate. Luhan who is behind her, smile softly. He is satisfied with Nayeon's reaction to his home. His pride feels so happy.
After the last luggage out from the trunk, Luhan gives the driver extra tips and walks to the gate. Now they stand next to each other. Luhan joins Nayeon to stare at the gate for a while and the old memory plays. When he was younger, he liked to climb this gate and jumped off until he got slight bruises on his knees.
"Don't you want to ring the bell?" Suddenly Nayeon asks him.
Luhan nods to her and walks to the bell. He reaches out his hand casually to the bell but he pauses in the air. His heart beats so fast and his finger stiffen. He starts breathing shortly because of the nervousness and excitement.
"It's okay baby" Nayeon pats Luhan's back and smiles to him when he turns his face to her. Nayeon's smile gives Luhan a brand new courage. This time he rings the bell without hesitation.
"What a nice boy" Nayeon talks cutely as she pets Luhan's head. Luhan immediately pouts to Nayeon because she treats him like a five years old.
"It's Lu's mansion, who is it? Who do you want to meet? What important?" The speaker on the bell lets out a familiar sentence with a familiar voice.
"It's me, Luhan" Luhan talks to the speaker and suddenly the across line went silent. No one talks back to him. But after minutes pass, the gate slides to the left and right, making an opening in between.
"Master Luhan"
Both Luhan and Nayeon turn their face into the source of the voice. A woman in her sixty, smiles lovingly to Luhan and immediately runs into Luhan's embrace.
On the other hand, Nayeon just watches it with confused. That woman is wearing a formal wear, so elegant and her motherly aura is so strong. Nayeon even feels it. It makes her curious, she wonders who is this woman. Looks like Luhan really love her.
"I couldn't believe when I heard your voice that's why I walked here to ensure" The woman talks.
"It's really me" Luhan pats her back and smiles. Nayeon is right, in the end of this day, everybody will be happy.
"Ah, aunt Yue, this is my soon to be wife" Luhan talks to the woman after he broke the hug. Nayeon gives Luhan a look because he talked in chinese, hoping Luhan will acknowledge that she has no clue.
"Yeon-ah, she is the head workers here, she is just like my second mom" Luhan explains and Nayeon nods. Aunt Yue is the head workers here but she is just like Luhan's family. She always there for him when his mom away for work. He only has Aunt Yue when his parents wasn't around.
"You're so beautiful" Aunt Yue praises Nayeon but Nayeon looks so lost. Aunt Yue giggles with Luhan because blank Nayeon is the cutest.
"She said you're so beautiful" Luhan smiles to Nayeon as he holds her hand tightly.
"Let's get inside, I will ask the maids to bring your luggage" Aunt Yue talks and then leads them to the central of Lu's mansion.
On their way to the front door, Aunt Yue tells them there will be a party tomorrow night that's why this place is so crowded. Tomorrow is Mr. and Mrs. Lu's anniversarry and they hold the party because they can't celebrate it with their children.
Right infront of the door, Luhan stops his steps and tighten the hold on Nayeon's hand. Nayeon looks into Luhan and whispers to his ear "Luhan, I'm here with you"
***
A little step turns into a long one, the long step turns into a little run. Mr. and Mrs. Lu who are busy with the preparation for the party tomorrow night, immediately turn their path to the living room, where their son waits.
Inside the living room, Luhan is playing with Nayeon's hand because he is so nervous. His lady, Nayeon, could see it clearly. She knows that Luhan can't avoid the nervousness. It's new for him, letting go of his ego and pride. Something new always makes you nervous.
"Luhan"
When his name rolls out from both of his parents' lips, the time stops just like Luhan's heart. Slowly but sure, Luhan lifts his chin up and looks into his parents. He thought he will feel a little bit of hatred because of his high pride but he feels none. He unconsciously smiles to them.
His smile easily brings his mother into tears. As her tears fall, Luhan has a courage to stand up and approach them. Surprisingly, without any doubt Luhan wraps his parents, both his dad and his mom, into his big warm embrace.
"I'm sorry" Apologize is out from Luhan's lips. He feels sorry because he left them two alone. He feels sorry because he lets them worry about him. And he feels sorry because he lets them getting older alone, without him beside them.
"No, we are sorry" Luhan's mother talks between her tears.
It breaks Luhan's heart and it sends him pain. He wants to hold his tears at first but the tears escape his eyes and stream down his cheeks. His mother's soft scent gives him comfort, and his father's strong arm assures his safety. He was wrong when he thinks it will open up his old scar, it is definitely the only way to cure his scar.
The reunion is touching Nayeon's heart. It's so warm until she can feel the happiness too. Without her realization, she already sheds into tears. She is happy for Luhan but she can feel her sadness too. She is so envy at him, when will she hug her dad and her mom like Luhan did?
***
After they let out all their feelings and sorry, Luhan's mother accompanies Luhan and Nayeon to Luhan's room while his father returns to check the preparation. They will use Luhan's bedroom to rest. Nayeon feels so happy and excited to see Luhan's bedroom.
"I'm so happy right now, Luhan is home and Nayeon is home too" Luhan's mother talks in english as they walk to Luhan's room. Nayeon smiles to his mother, her heart flutters because Luhan's mother is so sweet. She always treats Nayeon like her own daughter.
"Oh my God, I'm so happy" His mother talks and smiles so sincerely. Nayeon smiles back and she can't control her own feelings. It's so beautiful until it moved her. The sincere smile gives Nayeon the happiest moment of her life. Now Nayeon just realizes how identic Luhan's smile to his mom.
"I hope it changed a lot" Luhan jokingly pouts to his mother as they stand infront of his bedroom. Luhan really hope it changed a lot. He hopes his secret box already thrown away somewhere. His secret box full of his secret on his teenage's years.
"I just let the maid keep it clean and nothing changed" His mother talks proudly as she opens the door.
It was Nayeon, the first one who enters the bedroom. She feels like she enters the whole new world, world of young Luhan. She wanders around like a little sheep and laughs at every single pictures she saw.
"She is so happy to see a different side of you, so cute-----" Luhan's mother giggles as she watches Nayeon's childishness.
"-----rest well, I will call you when the dinner is ready" She continues and pats Luhan's back. Luhan smiles softly to his mother and watches her turning her back. Before his mother could take a single step, Luhan holds her hand. The sudden affection makes his mother turning her head.
"Mom, I love you" Luhan speaks inaudibly and he knows start from now, he can show his affection without getting hurt again. He trusts his family again. Family is always be a place where you can return even after you do sins.
***
After a while, Nayeon hears nothing and she looks around. No one there. She frowns at herself. She is too focus on Luhan's pictures until she forgets about her around. It's when she decided to call Luhan's name, she hears a shower's sound from the bathroom.
"Luhan, are you there?" Nayeon asks and she hears his answer. Earlier, Luhan went to the bathroom without saying a thing to Nayeon. He didn't want to disturb her from admiring the kid Luhan.
Nayeon just nods after she hears his voice and starts wandering around again. There is one shelf which has photos, medals, and trophies. Nayeon takes a look at the photo and chuckles like a teenage girl. It was Luhan in his jersey, holding a soccer ball on his right hand, and the other one holding his gold medal.
'I will be one of his fangirls if I was attend the same school' Nayeon thinks as she giggles. She can't control her mind, she keeps imagining Luhan in his uniform, looking like a bad boy but also a cool senior.
"I'm so crazy" Nayeon whispers to herself but she keeps imagining how popular he was in his senior year with that handsome face and his soccer skill. He is so a boyfriend material.
After that shelf, she moves into a night stand beside the bed. She takes a frame from there and looks into a picture. There is Luhan and Lufei on that picture, smiled happily to the camera. Luhan looks so young and fresh and no wrinkles, and then Lufei, she looks so beautiful, just like an idol.
"How lucky I am to know them" Nayeon smiles happily as she puts the frame back. She did feel lucky, somehow, the Lu's family resembles the royal family in a modern era.
Nayeon sits on the bed and looks around Luhan's bedroom. She smiles again as she moves her legs back and forth. Today, she discovers a new side of Luhan's life. It's fascinating.
Suddenly she finds a box on the top of his shelf. It's in a corner and it's so high, up there. Nayeon jumps off of the bed and walks to the shelf. She climbs up a drawer beside and reaches the box. The surface of the box covered by the dust and the color of the box already turned dull.
She sits on the carpet and opens the box. She raises her brows and a sly smirk plays on her face. It's Luhan's secret box. Nayeon takes out a bundle of letters and decides to read it but it written in chinese. She frowns but she knows all these letters were from his fangirls due to the pink letter and a love sign in every single letters.
"My soon to be husband is so popular back when he was student" Nayeon holds her squeal with the soft laughter.
She digs deeper and she pulls out a well covered by a blue wrapper book. Nayeon thinks it must be Luhan's diary, she keeps opening the book eventhough she knows, it would be written in chinese. But Nayeon was taken aback when she saw what's inside there. Her eyes widen in disbelief and she can't say a thing.
"Oh God"
