____________________________________________________________

"What?" I blatantly questioned as an immediate respond. I started laughing because- because I really think I was just hearing things! In between nervous chuckles, I manage to let out another question "F-For a second, I thought you said you have a crush on L-Luhan?"  

Sehun's face never changed, and remained in a dead serious expression. The pair of cold eyes that he always stared at me with met my gaze again. I quickly came to notice, toning my laughter down little by little "Please tell me I heard that wrong." 

"You didn't." He answered "I do like your brother, or if he even is your brother, a lot." 

The blood from my face drained out, my palms and forehead began forming beads of sweat, and all of sudden, I found it so hard to swallow my saliva, dying my throat. Is he kidding or just out of his mind?! Sehun. . . Likes me?! Is he gay?! "I-I don't believe you! Y-You're just making this all up to freak me out!"

"I knew I shouldn't have told you." He muttered, hiding his face away from me from embarrassment "Do me a favor and hit your head against the wall so you'll forget everything." 

"How can I forget something as scarring as that!" I responded, forgetting for a moment that instead of being Luhan, I am now Luka. I stood up from the floor, and began going around in circles while unconsciously murmuring things to myself before going into another outburst "A-Are you gay?!"

"I am not gay!" Sehun exclaimed "I just. . . Happen to like him."

Sehun likes me. Sehun likes me. Sehun likes me! I'm a straight guy! I-I can't be with him, even I wanted to! Now I'm technically not a boy, but this is just insane! Thousands of another questions ran through my head, but I could only ask so much "Does the other members of EXO know?!" 

"Yeah, they do." He replied "This has been going on for a year, and they never brought it up since Luhan was around. He doesn't know and he should never know. But since he's gone because of you,"

He glared at me, and held it. Instead of being intimidated by him, I stared back at him, waiting for him to finish his sentence. Now nothing can ever scare me more than what I just heard. Sehun released his stare from me, and softened up, shifting around on his place "I am a bit thankful that he's out of my mind for a while. But I still hate you. Because of you, Luhan's missing and fans are furious." 

"But but but. Y-You're a guy!" I continued on, still finding it so hard to grasp. Just imagine: One of your closest friends and co-workers, being gay for you! I'm sure the fans wouldn't have any problem with it, but I do! Omo. . . "I- Luhan's not gay! Nor bi! Nor homo!"

"That's why he shouldn't know, you stupid girl!" He grew tired with my complaints, rudely but straightforwardly answering me  "And I'm counting on you to keep it."

Is Sehun dead serious? Is he not joking about this whole thing?! "I-If this is a joke. . . Please cut it out. You win, okay?! I'll never bother you again!"

"I wish I could say that too, but I'm not joking around." Sehun answered with a straight face, seeming to get more and more annoyed by me "This is the first and last time you'll hear something like this from me, and you shall never bring it up."

"O-Okay. . . And what if I do? What if I tell others, even your fans, about it?"

He stood up from the floor on his side of the room, walking towards my direction. I slowly backed away from him, but he just keep walking towards me. Few seconds later, my back was already touching one end of the wall, while he was already in front of me. Sehun slammed his hand on the mirror, right beside my face and famously glared at me "Spread this, and you're dead."

"You think I'm afraid of you?" I smirked. But in fact, I was still a little scared of him not because I ever was, but because he just seems to be a lot stronger than I remembered him as a guy. C'mon Luhan, be brave and suck it up "Instead of blackmailing me, lets make a deal."

He speechlessly removed his hand from the wall mirror, and impatiently waited for me to speak "What kind of girl are you. . . A deal?" 

"Yeah. I won't tell a single soul about your secret. . . But, you have to stay out of my sight as much as possible and never talk to me again." 

"That's what I wanted from the beginning so," He held out his hand "Deal?"

I smiled, and gladly shook his hand "Deal."

I sat back down on the floor and leaned against the mirror as I did before, trying get some sleep even if it was the most uncomfortable position I have ever rested on. The strange thing is Sehun plopped down beside me, just in a one foot distance away.

"Yah, what's wrong with you?" I smiled "I thought we said that you'd stay out of my sight as much possible."

"D-Did it really have to start tonight?" He stuttered.

Sehun can be so cute sometimes~ He was always afraid of sleeping alone, not surprising since he is the maknae of the group. Wait. Sehun? Cute? What the hell am I saying?! I felt my heat up, and quickly shook it off. Luckily, it was dark, so hopefully Sehun didn't notice anything "If you're that afraid, I won't mind you staying here for tonight."

"Wh-Who said I was a-afraid?! I-I'm staying here because you might run away and tell other people about my secret!"

The door was already locked, so there's no running away from this.

"Hmph. Whatever." I chuckled, staring up into the ceiling. Another question formulated in the head, and since I have all the time in the world right now, I decided to ask him  "But why don't the other members seem to care about Luhan's disappearance? I- I mean did he do something wrong?"

"We're all worried sick. But it's because you're a girl." Sehun answered "Do you think us guys would want to seem so unmanly, crying and complaining in front of a girl? And I thought you had us all figured out."

I. . . Really never thought about it that way. Probably becaue I was only a girl for two days, I'm still getting used to wearing girl things, EXO's abnormal heights, etc. "Oh. I guess you are right."

"Now get some sleep." He hugged his knees and curdled up into a ball, while keeping his distance in the opposite direction of mine "I'm tired."

"Won't the EXO members notice you're gone?" I asked

"And won't the f(x) members notice you're gone too? But none of them show up. Sleep." Sehun let out a yawm, and shifted around in his ball form trying to find a comfortable spot before settling in one

I decided to stop asking my never ending amount of question, and to not disturb him any longer. It really has been a long and tiring day for him. I turned to the opposite direction to avoid facing him, and shut my eyes hoping I'd drift into sleep.Suddenly, an unknown breeze came by, making my teeth chatter and my arms hug my legs. How could it be so cold in the room when everything's off? Out of nowhere, a jacket was thrown at me. Staring at the jacket covering me, my eyes lead towards Sehun, whose white V-neck shirt was exposed.

"Your teeth chattering is too loud." He grumbled, before hugging himself for warmth "Please, just go to sleep and everything will be fine tomorrow."

Sehun being nice? Well that's something you don't see everyday. A smile couldn't help but creep up on my face. I snuggling his jacket even more before closing my eyes again "Hey, Sehun?"

"What."

"Thank you." 

. . .

"Where has Sehun been last night?" Kai asked in front of their dorm's bathroom mirror, brushing his teeth in a ferocious manner while speaking to Kyungsoo "I thought you said he would come back."

"I thought he would!" D.O. replied, brushing his teeth along side with Kai "I heard Luka was also missing. Do you think they. . ."

Kai choked on his toothpaste before, grabbing a glass to gargle it off. D.O. stared at him with a perplexed expression on his face, while Kai harshly placed the glass down "Luka's missing?! When did you find out about this?!"

"I heard from f(x) saying they couldn't find her anywhere. You're more concerned for Luka than Sehun?" D.O. smirked before rinsing out his mouth. As he spit out the water he gargled, he spoke again "You like her?"

"I-It's not that! It's the fact she's a girl and Sehun's missing too! H-He doesn't like her at all, so she could be in deep trouble with him!"

"Whatever floats your boat." D.O. said "Where did we last see them again?"

"In the dance practice room. An SM Staff worker usually locks the door by 11 PM. And we left just minutes before that time. . . Don't tell me, they're still there?!"

. . .

"S-Suho, calm down!" Xiumin called out to him from behind, along with the other nine members behind his back "I don't think they did anything that would cause a scandal!"

"The only way we can find out is to check on them right now!" He replied, bursting through the practice room doors "YAH, SEHUN! ARE YOU-"

Suho's sentence was cut off to the sight in front of him. As if someone moved our bodies while we slept, his body was spooning mine, along with his arm over me as I held his hans. I don't even remember nor recall when that happened! My eyes darted open as his did the same as soon as we heard Suho bursting and screeching through the door. The expression on our faces, which weren't so far from each other, meant the same thing.

Out of confusion, I quickly pushed him away from me and stood up "Y-Yah! Wh-What were you doing?!"

"What was I doing?! Wh-What were you doing!" He quickly stood up as well,  and quickly jolted towards leader and the other EXO members "S-Suho! I can explain everything! I was-"

"Sehun, that's enough." Suho growled "We're going to talk. Alone."

"H-Hey Suho." I called him "It's not Sehun's fault! It was all an accident! We're not trying to cause anything the fans might know about! He-"

"No, it's all my fault." Sehun butted in, glancing at me from behind. I stared at him in disbelief, hoping he wouldn't do what I think he was doing. Is he really taking the bullet. . . ? He faced the EXO members and looked down at his feet "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so close with her. I will take all responsibility."

I couldn't say anything more to help him, even if I wanted to. I'm really in no position to defend him, all because I'm no longer EXO's Luhan.  What I do know is that based on how SM works, it's either he's in trouble or we both are. But he decides to face the consequences on his own? I thought. . . Sehun hated me.

"Sehun, come with me." Suho ordered "Xiumin, take Luka back to f(x)'s dorm."

"Hyung!" Kai ran up to Xiumin, placing a hand on one of his shoulders "If you're busy, I can take her back to the f(x) dorm myself."

"Jongin, it's alright." Xiumin smiled and walked towards me, doing the wrist-grabbing move that Sehun and Kai seem to love doing. Although I said earlier that Minseok was one of my closest friends, it still startled the hell out of me, making me feel a bit uneasy. Xiumin looked at me and shot me a smile "I'll bring her back safely."

He tugged my arm, a signal for me to follow him. I began walking toward the direction he wanted for us to go, but I still couldn't take my eyes off Sehun. And for the first time since I met him as a girl, he actually gave me a faint smile before following Suho back to the dorm. Did he really flash me a smile? Sehun. . . Do you hate me, or not?

I allowed Xiumin to drag me to the dorm, but I still couldn't help thinking about what would happen to Sehun. He's probably getting yelled at right now for almost causing a scandal with me . My  heart palpitating, and my thoughts were filled of him. . . Am I okay?

"So what happened with you and Sehun last night?You're lucky not a single fan knew about what you two were up too." Xiumin asked. He didn't seem to be angry at me judging by the tone of his voice. I quickly snapped out of my thoughts, and turned my attention to him. 

"Oh, uh, we were locked in the practice room for the whole night. We fought the entire time, and the next thing I know, I wake up to his face inches away from mine."

He chuckled. Before I knew it, we were right in front of the f(x) dorm's door. He let out of my wrist, and politely bowed at me "You're my best friend's sister, so if you need anything, just give me call."

I bowed back and waved good bye to him, watching him run back to EXO's dorm until I couldn't he his figure through the hall. I entered f(x)'s dorm to that find no one was here. Maybe they were at practice or a performance or an interview? I don't know.

I sighed while my eyes drifted to my untouched phone from the coffee table. That my phone; Luhan's phone. Did anyone send anything? Now that I was alone, I took the chance. I grabbed it and turned it on, and to my surprise, '54 missed calls' and '71 unread messages'

"Seriously?" I smiled to myself in amusement, scrolling through messages which mostly came from Sehun. He does like me, of course he's the most worried. As I was scrolling through texts which consisted of Sehun, Suho, Xiumin, SM management, and loads of number I didn't recall, there was the one message that caught my eye. It was from 'Unknown'

I furrowed my eyebrows and quickly tapped it.

Greetings Luhan,

'You are aware of your current situation about your gender. You will be given the choice to turn back into a boy in the 100th day of being a girl. But if you choose not to turn back into a boy on that same day, you will forever remain a girl'

"Y-Yah! You were responsible for this?!" I screamed at my phone, as if the person who sent me the message could hear me "I may not know how you did it, just turn me back into a boy now! Who are you?!"

And just in that moment, I got a new message from the same 'Unknown' number and scrolled down to read it.

'May your choice be a wise one -Unknown'

I threw my phone across the room out of frustration, landing on one of the f(x) member's bed "Why do I have to wait one hundred more days when I want to turn back into a boy now?!"

I let out a groan and entered the bathroom to wash my face, while secretly hoping that all this is just a dream. As I splashed the faucet water all over my face, thoughts began circulating my mind again. How did that 'Unknown'  person turn me into girl? Whoever you are, why me?! Why did I have to be the girl?! Stressing out over things never helps, Luhan. It's just a hundred days. I wiped my face and hands dry while walking in front of the toilet to pee.

"Oh wait. I have to sit down to do my business, not stand." I laughed, taking a seat on the toilet bowl

It took me a few moments before looking down at my underwear, and to my surprise, a red stain was marked on it. I rubbed and squinted my eyes just to make sure I was seeing things right.

"Why do I have red pee?" I asked myself. My thoughts began to slowly process by themselves until the sudden answer hit me "Wait. . . If I'm a girl. . . THEN AM I ON MY PERIOD?!"
