My Boyfriend is a Mannequin (EXO Xiumin Fanfic)

Chapter 4

"What the heck, Luhan?!" I threw my hands up in the air.

We were talking in an empty classroom with Tao sitting in one corner, staring at both Luhan and Xiumin. My brother, Kyungsoo sitting next to me on the desk staring at Luhan and Xiumin as well.

"It's a good thing I helped you, Jihye." Luhan replied, smiling and ignoring the amount of stares he's getting from Tao and Kyungsoo.

"How is Xiumin being my boyfriend helped me?" I retorted, ignoring Xiumin's glaring face.

"First of all, you were crying and I felt bad. Second of all, Sehun's not really 'that' good looking. Why would you even wanna choose him? Look at Xiumin, he's cute, like baozi!" Luhan said, wearing a smug on his face.

"You do know that you look a lot like Sehun. Don't you? And I'm pretty sure you think you look handsome. If you're handsome, that makes him handsome too. You might even love him! Besides, you're a freaking mannequin. How are you able to feel 'bad'?" I furrowed my brows at him.

"Thanks to you!" He said. I wanted to ask something but Kyungsoo made a loud gasp.

"Who are they ... actually?" Kyungsoo whispered to me silently.

Ohh ... I forgot.

"Oppa ... meet the mannequins!" I introduced and Kyungsoo was undoubtedly shocked as his eyes were widen and jaw was dropping.

"I told you, Soo! You thought I was crazy! If you still don't believe now, you can ask Tao!" I shifted my gaze to Tao who's currently breaking cold sweat.

"S-s-she's telling the truth. I remember him..." pointing at Luhan, " ... and h-him." Pointing at Xiumin. "And my mum just called. The mannequins in the store are gone."

I looked at Kyungsoo and he was wearing the same reaction as Tao. I turned back to Luhan and Xiumin.

"What do you mean ... thanks to me?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Thanks to you, we became freaking humans." Xiumin finally spoke, didn't sound too happy that he's one of us now. Weird.

"What he meant was ..." Luhan took over to speak and continue, "... because of you, we were able to feel the emotions carried by a human being. Looking through the glass display, we've seen you couple of times at the store. We saw how you were curious, happy, scared and even sad."

I felt my cheeks flushed a little. How did they see all these through me?

"Sad? W-what do-?"

"-Do we mean?" Luhan continued. "Yesterday, when Sehun stood you up. You were very sad."

"No I wasn't! I was just being mad!" I stammered and quickly changed the topic.

"How did you come out with this idea about Xiumin becoming my boyfriend?" Now I was being serious but my seriousness faded at Luhan's reply.

I laughed out loud at Luhan's answer to my question. "I watch K-dramas and soap operas! It was intense."

I held back my laughter and pursed my lips from bursting the laugh loudly.

"So what do you want now?" Kyungsoo's turn to ask. "There must be something you want out of these things you do."

Oh ... Kyungsoo's smart. I never really thought of that. I was so focused on the mess that happened just now, I completely forgotten about the intention Luhan and Xiumin came to me.

"I need her help! ... In being a complete human." Luhan expressed.

"But about ... Xiumin," Luhan began talking while his eyes searching for him.

Xiumin voiced out, "Being human is a waste of my time! Having feelings and all are completely ridiculous. I rather become a mannequin forever. What's the use of going through all these emotions that could hurt people?"

"NO!" I shouted, quite loud than I intended to. All stares were at me and I gulped my saliva.

I went closer to Xiumin and talked to him. I felt the need to help him but I didn't know why. There was this tinted red colour forming on his cheeks when I went closer but I didn't notice. Luhan did.

"I don't agree with you in that. ... Being a mannequin forever is wasting your time. There are much more amazing things in life that you can look forward to. Emotions help people grow, help people mature and-" I wanted to continue but got cut off by Luhan.

"Well settled then! I know now what Xiumin needs. Will you help him, Jihye?"

I said yes with all my might.

"Will you really help him?" Luhan raised one brow and asked.

Yes. I agreed, this time even louder.

"Then we'll have to continue with this boyfriend act."

"Yes! ...... WAIT WHAT?!" This time I completely disagree.

"What the hell, Luhan?! I want this to stop!" Now Xiumin began feeling angry.

"It's not like this girl could actually help me in any ways!" Xiumin retorted.

Now I'm angry at him for actually thinking I couldn't be much of a help. And this made me to wanna help him even more.

"Fine." I said but I was thinking OHH SHIT all the way.

"I'll help!!" I mind-scolded myself.

What's wrong with you Jihye?

"I'll help Xiumin." Oh fuck.

Luhan smiled.

"But only as friends." Kyungsoo quickly gave a remark.

Wtf Kyungsoo? Can't you say that 5 minutes earlier before I embarrassingly admitted into helping by continuing the fake relationship idea? =_=

"Alrighty then. Only as friends. But during school, you'll need to pretend as couple since I practically told everyone about it." Luhan mentioned and feeling proud of himself.

"Okay then. Only at school." Kyungsoo agreed.

Xiumin turned to me and gave a quick smile and returned to his poker face. "Fine."

"But on one condition."

I looked at him and at his determined eyes.

"Don't fall in love with me."

***

After everyone left the room, there were only Luhan and I. He tapped my shoulder and we talked about something before leaving.

"You know, Xiumin needs your help in this." Luhan said slowly.

"Why?"

"I know you can help him."

"What makes you so sure about this?" I asked, being uncertain.

"Because I saw and I can tell."

What is he talking about? Is he joking?

He continued.

"Because Xiumin likes you."
