Chapter Six: Oh, Sehun!

So the views and votes kinda escalated too quickly XD But thank you all! :D So the main boys here, if you noticed, are Sehun, Kai, and Xiumin! Probably because I ship them all with Luhan XD K, that's it :p Thank you to @ohsnapitzclaud for the cover on the side!!

____________________________________________________  

"In love?" I repeated the phrase that struck me the most from the sentence that escaped from Victoria's lips. I was stunned "With him? B-But. . . Nah, there's no way I could be!"

"I don't know, Luhan. It's your brain after all." She shrugged "You're just confused either because you're on your period, or you just never been in love with a dude before. Anyway, it's not like he likes you back, right?"

I let out plastic, half-hearted laughs. I flopped to the other side of my bed and rested my head on the pillow, avoiding eye contact to prevent the conversation from going any further. "Yeah. . . He doesn't like me, of course." 

"Aish, you'll get over it in the morning. Good night." 

Sulli flipped the light switch off since it was placed on the wall nearest to her bedside. The f(x) members and I exchanged our good nights. It wasn't long when the few moments of silence were replaced with snores from the girls, most likely coming from Amber since she tends to snore the loudest. Meanwhile, I was restless. I constantly flopped my pillow to rest my head on the cooler side and turned around, facing different views which were either the f(x) members dozing off, the wall, or the ceiling. Being faced with my dilemma, it's hard to get a few minutes of slumber or to stop myself from overthinking. It's especially hard before I sleep. Why I stop thinking about what Victoria said?!

I reminisced our conversation earlier. 

  "Anyway, it's not like he likes you back, right?"  

  "Yeah. . . He doesn't like me, of course."   

Doesn't like me, huh? He can like me as Luhan for now, but as long as he doesn't me as Luka. . . It should be fine for the next few months. For the sake of keeping my identity a secret.

. . .

"L-Luka. . .?" Sehun called my name. He caressed one side of my face, slowly trailing down to my chin. I tried to glance away, but he lifted my chin upwards and gazed deeply into my eyes. There's no avoiding eye contact now. Although his presence felt warm at the moment, his eyes were always so cold, you'd get chills crawling from your spine.  He spoke again "I don't know how long I've felt this way. . . B-But I love you." 

"Sehun-ah?" I kept eye contact with him as a response. My heart suddenly jumped as soon as I remembered my situation. It didn't matter if I loved him back, it would be dangerous if I returned his feelings. I quickly broke away from contact with him and looked away. I started to walk away "I'm sorry, but we can't be together!" 

"Just please!" Sehun quickly caught up to me, blocking my way by stopping in front of me. He firmly took both my hands and gripped them tightly "Can't you give me a chance?" 

"But I-"

His face slowly drew nearer to mine. I couldn't finish what I was going to say, in fact I couldn't say anything at all. I was too frazzled. It wasn't long before our lips were just a few inches apart, and still growing closer with every moment going by. My heart palpitated non-stop. Was I going to let him do it? But out of nowhere, he stopped. 

"Yah. Luka."

What? 

"Yah. Luka. Get up." A monotonous yet husky voice pierced through my ears, as if they served as an alarm clock 

My eyes jolted open, darting at whatever was in front of me currently, which was just the ceiling along with its lights positioned at opposite corners. I swiftly sat up from my bed, surprised to Sehun sitting by beside it, as if he watched me sleep throughout the entire time. 

It was a dream. 

I just stared at him. My breathing grew heavier as I regaining my senses, trying to break away from the state of being drowsy. Also trying to break away from the state of trauma from the dream I had, yet I couldn't help but recap it. Sehun shot me a confused look

"What?" 

I let a few more seconds passed. A high pitched scream escaped my mouth, and grabbed the same pillow I rested my head on with both my hands and gripped onto one end. As soon as my grip was firm enough, I lifted it over my head and started whacking it at him vigorously "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" 

"H-Hey! Qu-Quit it!" He said in between the hits I blew at him. He held his long arms to his face and a form of defense, and to attempt to take it away from me. Sehun successfully grabbed the object used for violence away from my possession, and threw it to one end of the room "What's wrong with you?! You should be thankful that I helped you yesterday, yet this is what I get?! I didn't know your period messed you up that much!" 

I didn't regard his complaint and comment. I furrowed my eyebrows looked at him. He had a white EXO shirt on, specifically the one with his name on the back, and the number "94" written in a much larger text below it, along with a pair of shorts and the shoes he'd always wear when he got lazy. Not the most stylish look. I continued to ask him a question "D-Did you. . . Mess up with my dreams or something?" 

"Dreams? How would anybody be able to do that?" Sehun scoffed "You did mumble my name. . . What were you thinking of?"

"Oh, uh, i-it's nothing." I rapidly the question and in the same manner, got up out of bed to avoid being in front of Sehun. As I felt his eyes on me, I walked towards the closest of the f(x) members to pick out whatever piece of clothing I could find. I scavenged through clothes, hoping there were be a clean set of pants. Luckily, there was one last pair of clean joggers and an f(x) shirt laying around. Good enough.

I was about to peel off the shirt I had used for the night, until Sehun cleared his throat. I placed my hands down and turned around to face him. He looked down at his feet, shuffling around his place. He stuttered a few times before saying a clear sentence "Y-You're changing? With me here?" 

"Why? You always see me- " Oh right. I'm a girl. Looks like I'm a bit too used to changing around guys.

He perked his face upwards, enough for me to stare at it clearly. Sehun's facial features, prominently hid cheeks, had a pink tint blushed on them . Looks like he's really not used to it. He quickly stood up from the chair he got somewhere around the room, and hid his face away from me again"I-I'll leave then. Sorry to barge in all of a sudden."

He was quick paced into heading to the main door of the dorm. Before he could open it and exit through it, I called his name "Sehun,"

He stopped from turning the doorknob, and prevented from doing any sudden form of movement, yet not a single word escaped from his mouth: A sign for me to continue. I smiled to myself, and leaned on one of the closet's doors "Like I asked, why are you here?" 

Sehun didn't bother to turn around and face me, as if he was so fixed at the door in front of him "B-Because S-Suho sent me here. . . Y-Yeah, okay bye." 

He quickly ran out of the door, carelessly closing the door shut. I couldn't help but chuckle, and went back in front of the closet "Well Suho's probably looking for me then. I should go to him." 

. . .

"Suho? Hello, anyone there?" I hit my knuckles against the white rectangular door a couple of times, then paused for a moment. It wasn't long until my knocking was already heard by someone in the EXO dorm. On the other side of the door, you could hear the lock being turned, along with footsteps shuffling on the floor. After a few seconds, the open was pulled open, revealing Suho who seemed to have showered. Just I person I was looking for. His hair was still dripping wet, and his shirt clearly had wet stains on them. I was a bad habit of his not to dry up properly after showering.

He ran his hand through his ungroomed hair, and spoke "Hmm? Luka, what brings you here?"

"What brings me here?" I repeated his question in a rhetorical form. I titled my head to one side and furrowed my eyebrows, quite confused "Didn't you call me here via Sehun?"

"Sehun. . .? I don't remember asking him to call you here." 

"Wait, what?" 

"Yeah. He left quite early this morning, which was a miracle since he's usually the last one to wake up." Suho laughed. He leaned on the door , and pointed inside to his dorm "Wanna come in?" 

I hesitated for a moment, but what else can I do for the rest of the day? I nodded my head as an answer. Suho made way for me from the entrance, bowing as soon as I stepped inside, like the gentleman he is. As I entered, the crashing noises of things falling or breaking, howls, curses, and obnoxious laughter of some of the members, and clothes, trash, and undone dishes scattered everywhere filled the place. 

Ah, how I miss this. 

Suho crossed his arms in anger, while tapping his foot impatiently. He look down at his feet, closing his eyes thinking about how to get angry and what to shout at his kids. This was also a habit of his, like some sort of warm up before he explodes. Baekhyun likes to call it 'The Ticking Time Bomb'. 

"Guys! Pick up all your things and get the place cleaned now! We have a guest, do you really want to leave a bad impression?!" 

Silence followed after, except for a couple of loud giggles coming from the room Baekhyun and Chanyeol. They always find it funny when Suho gets mad. 

"Guest? Who is it?" Kai hollered from one of the rooms he was staying at "Can't you just send the person away?" 

His sentence was followed by some of the members agreeing with him, and backing him up. As Suho was about to protest, trying to find the best way on how to get mad at Kai regarding his rude gesture, I quickly butted in "Suho, it's fine. I'll just head back and waste my time on something else." 

I pasted a smile just to make sure Suho won't think of it as a big deal. It was normal for the guys and I to not like having guests around, especially when we craved for breaks after working our butts off. Even Suho, and the other nicer members such as Kyungsoo, Lay, and Xiumin didn't like extra company at times. Suho seemed hesitant for a moment, but soon glady returned the smile. He let out a deep breath and scratched his head 

"Alright. Sorry about the boys, Luka."

I bowed as a sign of respect, and courtesy. Suho's really hospitable, no wonder he's EXO's renowned leader. As soon as I was about to exit through the door, a loud bursting one of the room's doors startled Suho and I. Both of us turned around to see Kai right in front of us.

"O-Oh Luka. . . Y-You're here." He nervously grinned

"And she was just leaving because you don't want her here." Suho teased. He placed his hand on my back, gently pushing me out of their dorm "Bye Luka! Have fun!"

He immediately slammed the door behind me. From the other side, I could still hear Kai's whines and Suho's laughter and a little bit of scolding. I really wish I could return back to the dorm. . . Well, 96 more days to go. 

 "Where did Sehun go anyway?" I asked myself, finding something to do. I walked through more hallways and a couple of flights of stairs. I've been so busy ever since I was an SM trainee, I really forgot how to do others like relax. Never did I think finding something to do just to kill time was this hard. I walked through the dance practice/rehearsal rooms, still asking rhetorical questions to myself "Why was he in my room this morning?"

My ears caught this faint sound of our song 'Overdose'. Although I wasn't able to practice the dance thoroughly, they did a pre-recording, so I did have a part in it. I couldn't hear it well, but the beat matched perfectly. I quickly followed it, and was lead to our respective rehearsal room. I thought the members were all the room? I took a small peek and saw Xiumin working hard. As usual. 

I quietly entered the room, in the same manner slowly closing the door behind me. He wore a sleeveless top, along with cameo shorts and slick rubber shoes. I didn't know he was into that style. I watched him fuss up a few times, quietly cursing to himself. He'd play the entire song, and do over it all over again despite his mistake being in the latter part of the song. Beads of sweat dripped from his body to the floor. I'll always admire Xiumin for his dedication.  I leaned on the door and smiled to myself "You're working way too hard, aren't you?" 

Xiumin's body jerked up. He quickly turned around to around to face me, giving me a huge grin. He quickly walked over to the radio continuously the song, and bent down to turn it off. As soon as he got up, he got his face towel and bottled water placed on a chair, and approached me "Luka, what are you doing here?"

"Why are you practicing alone?" I ignored his question. I sat down on the freshly waxed floor, not breaking eye contact with him"You should get more rest instead of sweating yourself out like the others."

"SM doesn't give me that much parts, so I better do my best in everything else I have." He chuckled. He wiped his face with the towel he had in his grasp, then proceeded to drink from the bottle. It was unfair and biased system SM had when assigning us parts in our songs. It either based on how much talent they think you have, or the popularity with the fans. I know Xiumin is a very talented person, but sadly SM doesn't seem to see that. I slightly frowned, and he seemed to notice it. 

He chucked again and patted my head "So how is he?"

I shot him a confused look "How's. . . who?"

"The guy who hates you? And you hate him back? You went up to me about this yesterday, remember?" 

Yesterday. . . Oh yeah, about Sehun "Oh. Him. Getting weirder than ever."

Xiumin sat down on the floor right in front me. He placed on down his water bottle and face towel beside him "Weider? Define that." 

"I don't know. . . Just weirder!" 

"I told you! It's because he likes you!" He poked the tip of my nose with his forefinger. He grinned at me, then started to laugh again

"He better not." I snarled to myself "Tell me, you know about Sehun's, uh. . . Liking towards Luhan, right?"

Xiumin paused for a moment, and averted his eyes elsewhere "He told you himself, right?"

"So it is true. . ." I sighed "Xiumin, you're one of Luhan's closet friends. Don't you feel uncomfortable?" 

"Oh. Yeah, of course. Never in my life would I think one of our own members would have feelings for another. But what can I do? I won't blame him at all. Being attracted to someone isn't voluntary."

Being with Xiumin always calms me down. Being a few months older than me, he's got more wisdom and knowledge than any of us do, and he is probably one of the most mature among us all. 

"Hey. I'm just Luhan's sister, and you should probably be like Sehun who's suspicious of my character. But you decide to talk to me and help me out?" 

"I'll be honest, I am a bit suspicious since Luhan never informed any of us about you. Nor did I know that he had a sister. But there's something about you where I see a bit of Luhan. So whether or not you're the real deal or not, I'll do my best to help you out. I think we're friends now, after all." He smiled at me. He grabbed his water bottle beside him, and held it to my face "Want some?" 

. . .

"Aish, Suho-hyung. . ." Kai mumbled, on his way to the dance practice room. Like Xiumin, Kai uses the room on a daily basis, except not to rehearse for any upcoming performances, but just to dance whenever he feels like it. He continued to mumble to himself"Why did he have to block me from seeing Luka. . ."

As he arrived in the respective hall the room was located at, he was surprised to see Sehun leaning against the wall crossing his arms,  just beside the slightly opened door. Kai smiled and waved at him "Sehun, were you going to practice too?" 

Sehun never returned the smile. He swiftly walked passed Kai with a salty look on his face "No. I wasn't. Excuse me," 

He brushed passed Kai, leaving him confused and speechless. Kai turned around, staring at Sehun dashing across the hall "Hmph. What's his problem?" 

Kai turned back around to face the door. He gripped the doorknob and turned it, pushing the door open. Just in front of me, he saw Xiumin and I sitting on the floor having a little chat with each other "Oh, hey guys! Wanna dance?"

Xiumin and I both looked at the each. He lightly punched my arm, and stood up from the floor "I was just going to start rehearsing for 'Overdose' again. Let's go." 

Kai groaned "You want to dance for 'Overdose'? C'mon hyung, let's play something else."

"Actually," I interrupted, standing up from my place. Both of the members watched me as I walked over to the radio and playing the 'Overdose' track Xiumin paused "Luhan told me all about this new track. Can I see how the moves go?" 

I'm sure the reason why Xiumin came here in the first place was to practice and work hard for 'Overdose', might as well do him a favor for all the kindness he has shown me. Plus, when I turn back into a boy, I really need to get the moves right. Watching them can help me get some sort of review. Kai grinned at me "If that's what's you want to see, then I have no problem with it."

Xiumin flashed a genuine smile at me "You can watch us dance, but only on one condition."

I blinked twice "Bwo?"

Before I could ask about this condition any further, he grabbed my hand and pulled us both closer to where Kai was "You'll have to dance with us." 

"W-Wait, what?! N-No it's really okay! I can watch from the side! I don't even know any of the steps!"

"That's why we'll teach you, while you watch us dance." Kai chucked "It won't be too hard, we'll just teach you the chorus."

Both of them walked over to their blocking positions during the chorus dance segment. The first verse was already almost done playing. Soon enough, it shifted to the chorus. I watched in amazement as their movements were in complete synchronization. Practice really paid off for them. Kai was, of course, positioned in front, and I admired his skill and talent. But in all honesty, I did admire Xiumin's hard work just a little bit more. As soon as the chorus was done playing, Kai grabbed my wrist and dragged me to their blocking.

He let go of it, and positioned himself again "I hope you watched us well, now it's your turn when the second chorus comes."

As soon as the second chorus played, I began tracing back to the movements they've made when I observed them. Almost half way into the chorus, Xiumin and Kai stopped dancing. They watched me continue to dance and hit every step in an almost-perfect order. Guess my skills didn't fade away as I girl. I didn't want to stop, because I don't know when I'll be able to do this again. As soon as the chorus passed, I turned around to face them. They were speechless. 

"Ho-How long have you been dancing?!" Kai exclaimed 

"I, uh, don't dance too often." I lied "Just a little. From time to time."

Xiumin continued to stare at me "Have you considered becoming an SM trainee?" 

"Well, uh-"

"Aish, hyung, don't pressure her." Kai interrupted. He walked over to me, placing his hand on my shoulder "She can become a trainee, just not here in SM. They violate countless human rights here."

The room filled with laughter. Kai stared down at me, patting my shoulder before removing his hand from it. He never broke eye contact with me, and smiled "I think we should dance together more often."

. . .

"Well, it's been a long day, hanging out with Xiumin and Kai." I thought aloud to myself. We already said our goodbyes just before the sun started to set, and headed straight back to our respective dorms. I stretched in my place before placing my hand on the door knob "Come on, just 95 more days left."

I turned the knob, pushing the door open. Before I stepped inside, I stared at my surroundings. All the lights were open, yet no signs of the girls were here. Strange. I look at both sides just to make sure there weren't any signs of life. Nothing.

"I guess they forgot to turn the lights off." I said, turning my sight elsewhere

To the sight that horrified me, Sehun, once again, somehow managed to barge into the f(x) dorm. He sat on my bed, and shot me his signature ice cold stare "What were you doing with Xiumin?"

With a stunned face, I grabbed the nearest stuffed animal and ran up to him. I started hitting him with it, just like this morning "CAN I ASK AGAIN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"

Sehun grabbed the stuffed toy away from me, and threw it to the side "I said, what were doing with Xiumin?"

"Nothing! We just talked and danced!" Then, the sudden realization hit me "How did you know I was with Xiumin. . .?"

"Y-You two danced?!"

"Yes, with Jongin! It's none of your business, Oh Sehun! Again, answer my question!"

He noticed my sudden outburst, and remained silent for a couple of moments. I stared at him, waiting for an answer. Sehun cleared his throat before replying to me again "Uh. . . I-I just happen to pass by you two in the practice room."

"Okay, you got your answer! Now," I held up my hand and directed to the main door, gesturing for him to exit it through it "Please leave."

He just awkwardly glanced at me, then glanced down at his feet, then back at me again. I shot him an impatient glare "Well?" 

"Y-Yeah, I'll leave! I was just here because I forgot something this morning, not because I waited for you or anything like that. Just to make that clear." Sehun stated as soon as he stood up from my bed, crossing his arms

"Okay okay okay! Yes, I get it!" I went behind him, and pushed his back heading straight for the main door. I opened the door again, then pushed him our the dorm "Bye!"

"And just so you know, I-"

Before Sehun could finish his sentence, I slammed the door right in front of his face. He was frazzled for a moment, just staring into the door I shut him off with. Through it, he spoke again "Oh, so you're gonna be like this now, huh?"

"I'm sorry! I'm tired and I have no time to argue with you today, nor do I want to see your face! Have a- a safe trip back to the dorm!" I hollered back

 He continued to stare through the door, speechless. As soon as he regained his senses, he spoke to himself "Sehun. . . What is wrong with you?!" 

. . .

"So tomorrow, we'll have a very busy schedule." Suho announced to all EXO-K members. All EXO-K members which consisted of Suho himself, Kyungsoo, Chanyeol, Baekhyun, Jongin, and Sehun had a meeting being held in their dining area. They sat down in their respective seats around the rectangular table, except for Chanyeol who wanted to sit on the edge of it. Suho began to announce "Since EXO-M will be going to China by morning, we'll practice early in the morning, perform, a fan signing, then more practicing! Okay?"

The five members nodded and replied, except Baekhyun and Chanyeol who groaned because of how tiring tomorrow will be. Sehun stared into space and remaining silent. He caught Suho's attention.

"I said, okay?!" He looked at Sehun, snapping a couple of times in front of his face. Sehun regained his senses, and stared back at him

"Hey Suho," Sehun ignored him "I think Luhan's sister is getting really suspicious now. She does remind me of Luhan, so I conclude she's using witchcraft or something."

"Psshh, what makes you say that?" Kai asked

"For some reason. . . It's like she knows me too well. I can't leave her alone."
