"I didn’t do it."
It had been a relaxing Monday evening for Lu Han; he’d been sitting on the balcony of his spacious home overlooking his backyard, the gentle breeze and cool temperature of the air at this time of year doing nothing short of calm his nerves. The sound of the gentle air rustling the leaves on the trees and a few chirps of birds here and there are all that he heard in that moment — but of course, all good things must come to an end.
The crashing, cacophonous sound that resembles something similar to the shattering of glass interrupts the peaceful setting. The young businessman rushes inside his home, only to find his acquaintance standing over the ruins of one of the vases in the hallway that had fallen from its position atop a small table. He stares at the debris wide-eyed, and before he can even open his mouth to speak, the other beats him to it.
"I didn’t do it."
He’s not mad - truly, he’s not - and as he’s not one to lash out on anyone, let alone people with whom he’s friends, he simply looks around, sarcastically gesturing with his hand to the empty - save the two of them - hallway before speaking, laughing quietly as he does so. “Then who did, Lukas? That imaginary man in the corner of the room?” He shakes his head, patting the taller of the two’s shoulder with a smile. “It’s fine; don’t worry about it, okay? It’s not like it’s irreplaceable. It’s cool.”
