Can You Keep a Secret? (Luhan Fanfic)

Chapter 18: Honest Mistakes

Mijoo let out a loud, sarcastic sigh as she wrote down the formulas in the notebook. Once she looked up from her page, she rolled her eyes and held the book up to her face so she wouldn't be distracted by the people around her.

Dahae and Luhan were sitting across from Mijoo studying for their exam--well at least, that's what they were supposed to be doing. Dahae tried reading her book but Haru came up to her and sat on her lap.

"Oh sorry Haru, I can't play right now." Dahae maneuvered her arms around Haru so she could continue writing.

"Haru, don't bother Dahae," Luhan gestured for his daughter to get off of Dahae's lap.

"No it's fine, I can study like this," Dahae said, giving Haru a quick kiss on her chubby cheek before going back to studying.

Luhan smiled and ran his hand through Dahae's hair, "I love how you're so good with kids."

"I love you," Luhan tilted his head down to kiss Haru on the cheek. "And I love you too," He moved closer to Dahae and kissed her on her cheek. 

Dahae slightly blushed as she placed her hand on the side of her face. 

Mijoo practically slammed her head on the coffee table as she was not able to concentrate on her homework. 

--

"Were you able to get a lot of studying done?" Dahae asked as the girls arrived back from Luhan's apartment. 

"Not really," Mijoo threw herself on the bed. "I was distracted by you and Luhan." 

"Oh, I'm sorry. Were we talking too much?" Dahae pouted. 

"Well it wasn't really the talking that made me so distracted. It was the fact that Luhan was just acting so...weird? I still have to get used to him not acting like the loner butthole-ish type. Ever since you guys started going out like a month ago, his personality seriously changed. He acts all cute around you and kisses you and smiles and it makes me want to throw up a little bit."

Dahae laughed, "He really has changed, huh? At least it's for the better. Now he doesn't feel the need to hide anything from us and he can be the person he really is."

"Yeah yeah good for him, but it's still gross. Especially when he does that baby voice and says 'I love you."'

"Aw I like it when he says that," Dahae smiled to herself after imagining Luhan saying that in her head. 

--

Almost every day since Luhan asked Dahae out, she would go to his apartment and spend a couple of hours there just so she could see him and Haru and end up leaving near midnight. It has become their daily routine. 

"Do you want me to order something tonight?" Luhan asked, picking up a take out menu from the table. 

"No it's ok. Hey, why don't I try to cook something tonight?" Dahae excitedly suggested. 

Luhan squinted his eyes. He remembered the first time he tried Dahae's cooking and it wasn't very good. Since then, he hasn't had any of the food that she made. "Uh, no I don't want you to have to cook. It's too much work."

"I've been practicing some recipes though so I don't think it'd be a lot of work." Dahae stood up from the couch and headed the the kitchen. She put a pan on the stove and started looking in the cabinets and fridge for ingredients. 

"Alright the food will be ready in the few minutes. I put the stove on low so I can just keep the pan on there until the food's done cooking." Dahae looked around the living room, "Where's Haru?"

"She's playing in the room." Luhan replied. 

"Haru, let's get ready to eat," Dahae opened the door to the bedroom and found Haru covered in play dough. "Aishh Haru, why did you make a mess?"

"What's wrong?" Luhan ran into the room and saw exactly what was wrong once he saw the purple dough all over Haru's face and hair. "Haru, come with me to the bathroom."

"It's alright," Dahae said, already picking up Haru. "I'll clean her up."

 Once Dahae got Haru all cleaned up, the three sat down for dinner. Dahae placed the hot food on the table and waited for Luhan to take the first bite. Luhan slowly brought the spoon to his mouth and chewed the food. 

"It's really good," He said trying not to sound too surprised. I guess she was right and she had been practicing. 

Dahae looked satisfied with herself and scooped up a spoonful for Haru to eat. Luhan smiled as he watch his girlfriend and his daughter across the dinner table. Dahae didn't even set a plate for herself yet because she wanted to feed Haru. 

"Thank you for everything today," Luhan hugged Dahae as kissed her forehead. They were all on the couch gathered around the TV with Haru in Dahae's arms. 

"What did I do?" Dahae asked, resting her head in the nook of Luhan's neck. 

"Well first you originally came here to study but instead you cooked dinner, gave Haru a bath and you even went crazy cleaning up the place. You didn't have to do all that."

"But I like doing household work; I think it's fun." Dahae laughed. 

"You're so funny," Luhan gave Dahae a tight squeeze. "You're just like Dayoung."

"Oh really? How?" 

"I remember she always liked helping around the house. When I told her to take a rest or that she didn't have to cook because we could just order out, she'd insist on cooking and cleaning." Luhan paused. "You really remind me of her."

"Yeah I know. We look a lot alike." Dahae said with a straight face. 

"But not just that. Your personalities are so similar. I thought it was so weird how there was actually someone else in Korea who looked exactly like Dayoung, but the way you act reminds me so much of her too. Remember when I said I love the way you laugh and smile?"

"Yeah..."Dahae answered quietly, taking her head out from the crook of Luhan's neck. 

"You sound a lot like Dayoung when she laughs. Your birthdays are in the same month and your names both start with the letter D. I think it's cool how you resemble so much of her," Luhan said as if he was in his own little world. 

Dahae frowned and and turned away from Luhan. "I just called my driver. He'll be here to pick me up any minute." She unwrapped her arms from Haru and picked up her back from the floor. 

"You're leaving already? It's still pretty early." Luhan looked over at the clock. 

"Mhm. I'll see you in class tomorrow." Dahae opened the door without looking back at Luhan. 

"Oh alright, but before you leave..."Luhan spun Dahae around and gave her a tight hug. After a few seconds of not responding, Dahae brought her arms up and lightly wrapped them around her boyfriend's waist. 

"Bye." Dahae said. 

"Goodnight. I love you Dayoung." Luhan whispered. 

Immediately Dahae pulled herself away and narrowed her eyes, "W-what did you just call me?"

It took a second for Luhan to realize his mistake, but once he did, he widened his eyes and grabbed Dahae's hand. "I-I'm so sorry Day--I mean Dahae, I didn't mean to say that."

"You almost called me her name twice Luhan." Dahae said in a serious tone. 

"I-I know I didn't mean to. It was an accident. I'm so sorry."

"You're always comparing me to her too but you do it as if you don't even notice."

"I'm sorry. That was really just a big mistake. I'll never do it again."

Dahae snatched her hand away, "I have to go now. Goodnight."
