Playing With Fire [HunHan Fanfiction]

Knock! Knock! It's Your Past, Oh Sehun

Luhan knew from the very beginning that the six feet tall and greek god personified Oh Sehun will be his sweetest downfall. He first met him twelve years ago when he just turned eighteen, still a little bit naïve and innocent. He spent his entire youth encased within his grandmother's protective shell making him ignorant of the possible danger lurking everywhere. So when the little cherub decided that it's about time for him to stand on his own feet despite the great disapproval of his grandmother, he defied her and went out of their small town to study the degree that his mother wanted for him. So when one day, someone attempted to take advantage of his innocence, Sehun was there to save him. He could only watch as his saviour beat the hell out of the pervert effortlessly. He only realized that Sehun knew where to put proper pressure and blow, just enough for the pervert to get completely immobile.

It only started as an admiration toward the man. The next time he met him was when someone accidentally threw a basketball at him. He was naturally clumsy as hell so it was totally normal for him to get tripped on his own feet, not to mention getting hit by a ball on his face simultaneously. That's when he saw him again, six feet tall and broad shoulders wearing jersey uniform with number 94 engraved on the back and the surname Oh. Body dripped with sweat, thick and well symmetrical eyebrows furrowed, jaw clenching tightly and arms covered with compressor was automatically wrapped around his waist to prevent him from falling on the ground.

Oh Sehun might have saved his body from falling but not his heart.

It didn't help him when he saw him again inside the classroom, sitting on one of the chairs, listening to the boy that was talking animatedly beside him, wearing an all-white uniform this time. It was very in contrast with what he's wearing in the first two meetings they had. But it never changed the fact that the moment those enchanting sterling grey eyes drank his entirety, he knew that he's so doomed.

Luhan was too naïve when it came to love and when Sehun came into his life, making him feel those butterflies on his stomach and heart fluttering on his chest, he indulged in those pleasant feelings. Kyungsoo, especially Minseok, his newly found friends kept on telling him that Sehun was bad news, a trouble personified but his heart is too stubborn, getting addicted to the burn that Sehun's flame makes him feel. Instead of extinguishing it, he kept on adding more gasoline into it until it totally consumed him like a wildfire. He was a willing victim and never hesitated to get succumbed to the fiery pit, as long as it's for Sehun.

Oh Sehun was so out of his league but he still persisted. The object of his affection was the captain of the basketball team and due to his clumsiness he couldn't join so he's always on the bleachers, wearing his heart on his sleeve, cheering Sehun and occasionally screaming I love you's in between. It was his first time to fall in love and he had no reservations. When he discovered that Jongdae, Minseok's boyfriend, was one of Sehun's bestfriends, he instantly bombarded him with questions regarding Sehun. Luhan learned to bake when he discovered that Sehun loves to consume it everytime he's stressed. He purposely made himself stupid eventhough he's capable just to get closer to Sehun who was a top student. He followed him everywhere despite his friends' warning that Sehun will just hurt him. In his defense, it's fine, as long as it's for Sehun, he will be worth all the pain. That's how much he stupidly loved him.

He totally forgot to account that in love, it is not always filled with rainbows, sunshines and unicorns. No, it was more of storm and thunder especially when you are loving Oh Sehun. The casualty? It was his heart and himself. No matter what Luhan did, it will never be enough because for a man like Oh Sehun, there is only one person that he could see, the only woman he loved, and the only girl that Luhan once wished to become, Bae Joohyun.
