Can You Keep a Secret? (Luhan Fanfic)

Chapter 17: Can I Kiss You Now?

Dahae was sitting outside of the Dean of Admissions' office. She tapped her foot silently as she waited for her father to come out. 

"Dahae."

"Dad!" Dahae quickly got to her feet, "What did they say?"

Dahae's dad gave her a stern look and took an envelope out of his suit pocket, "They said yes."

"Luhan, we're glad you came to stay the night. We haven't seen you in forever." Mrs. Byun said, placing a hot plate of food on the dinner table. 

"Thank you, it's nice to be here. But we have to go back tomorrow morning; we just came because Baekhyun invited us over." Luhan said, handing chopsticks to his daughter. It has been over a few weeks since Luhan and Haru were found. Haru's health has gotten a lot better, and is well enough to leave the treatment center. But the caretaker offered to just let Luhan and Haru continue to live with her until Luhan was able to find another apartment. There was a sound at the door and Baekhyun stood from his chair to see who it was. 

"Luhan, you have a visitor." Baekhyun called out. 

Confused, Luhan excused himself from the table and headed to the door, "Dahae, hi. What are you doing here?"

"I-is it ok if I talk to you outside?" Dahae bit her lip as she pointed her thumb behind her.

"I'll give you two some privacy," Baekhyun smirked as he pushed Luhan out of the house and closed the door. 

"What's up? Is something wrong?"

Dahae smiled; she couldn't contain her excitement, "I have really great news." She took out the envelope from her purse, "My dad had a meeting with the rest of the college board. Their meeting was about scholarships and...you are the first student to receive a full ride scholarship to Seoul University!"

"W-What??"

"All your tuition, books, classes, room and board--they're all covered by this scholarship." She handed the envelope to Luhan who ripped the top open to reveal the letter. 

"I-I can't believe this. I'm able to go back??" Luhan asked in disbelief. "Wait. But I don't think I'd be allowed to bring Haru to the dorms..."

"You can't," Dahae took a breath. "But, you're able to live in the nearby apartments that are still owned by the university. And there, Haru can live with you."

"This is...amazing."

Dahae smiled. She hasn't seen Luhan wear that big of a smile since...well ever. She had to beg her dad to bring up the topic of scholarships to the college board, and even when their proposal was approved to be heard, it still had to go through a long and tough process to actually get the scholarships approved. 

"I can't believe you did this for me. You must have pulled a lot of strings for this."

Dahae waved a dismissive, modest hand, "Whaaat? No, I didn't do anything. It--"

"Thank you so much," Luhan pulled Dahae to his chest ans squeezed her. Dahae wasn't able to hug back because her arms were in stuck in the middle of their bodies. She slowly looked up at Luhan who placed a soft kiss on her forehead. She let out a surprised gasped and widened her eyes. 

'What was that for?" Dahae asked shyly, once he released her. 

"Dahae do you want to have dinner with us too?" Baekhyun swung the door open, ruining the moment.

"Are you sure that Luhan wouldn't mind us coming so unexpectedly?" Dahae asked as Baekhyun knocked furiously at Luhan's door.
