Deer Luhan, With Love

<<< Rewind: 4 <<

Sorry for the delay!  I did have this chapter written, but I got so caught up in school work I forgot to post it.

It turned out Changmin had been the evil mastermind behind everything.

“So I was wondering,” said Kyuhyun, flicking apple seeds at Minho after Jonghyun from CNBlue, the fourth member of Kyuline, had left the building, “which EXO member do you think would be happiest about performing in drag with us?  We need a full compliment of one person from each major boy group.”

“Luhan?” suggested Minho, spitting cherry pips at the mirror and barely noticing the apple seeds.  Changmin and Kyuhyun both spluttered.

“He doesn’t count.”

“Yeah, he’ll probably just send his double anyway.”

“But he’d look amazing in a dress!”

Changmin and Kyuhyun just exchanged glances.

“Minho, baby—” began Changmin.

“You are but a mere sapling.  You wouldn’t understand,” concluded Kyuhyun patronisingly.

“F*ck you both,” retorted Minho.  “Why am I friends with you?”

“Because we buy you food.”  Changmin grinned at him.

“No, he buys you food,” Minho corrected Changmin, pointing to Kyuhyun.

“I used to be rich,” Kyuhyun lamented.

“I used to have space in my fridge,” Minho muttered.

“And I used to starve,” said Changmin dispassionately.  “Maybe we should ask Suho to dress up in drag.  I bet we could convince him.”

The practice room door slammed open and Chen stormed over to the hi-fi, apparently not noticing that they were there.  A sudden blast of heavy rock music hit the room so loudly the windows shook.

“I used to have eardrums!” Kyuhyun bellowed over the grungy guitar, but Changmin was already on his feet, screaming “duet, duet!” with a beer bottle poised as a pretend microphone.  Minho only took about three seconds more before he silenced the machine permanently with a flying kick that would have required censoring for tough love on TV.

The kick had unfortunately caught Chen first and the boy sat up in the wreckage, looking bewildered.

“What the heck was that for?” Minho demanded him.

Changmin and Kyuhyun exchanged glances again.

“Dude,” said Kyuhyun.  “He should be the one asking you that.”

“Yeah,” agreed Changmin.  “You just broke my favourite song.”

“You can’t break a song—” Minho began hotly.

“Sehun’s being an idiot!”  Chen threw his hands up in the air.  “We gave him f*cking weeks to propose – well, Leigh did because she was the one who ended up in hospital doing nothing – and he didn’t say a thing!  I don’t know if he’s an idiot or has no balls, because Leigh certainly has more than any normal female.  Maybe she has his, for all I know.”

“Whoa.”  Minho looked at him.  “Sehun’s planning on getting married?  Isn’t he, what, nineteen, twenty?  He’s still pretty much a baby.”

“No, that’s Xiumin.”

Everybody looked at Kyuhyun, who cleared his throat.  “Well, Xiumin looks like he’s still in this teens.”
