That Week of Hearts (EXO - Luhan and Kai Fanfiction)

The Set Up

“Luhan! Where are we going? Slow down!”

I don’t know what’s gotten into him. First we’re dancing and he kisses me and then he starts saying that he has to go somewhere. And now he’s taking me with him.

“Ow!”

Great, so I’m in front of my crush, who happens to be pulling me, and I just tripped over my feet. Lovely, just lovely.

He stops and turns around, a look of concern on his face, “Are you okay?”

I move my gaze to the ground and frown, “Yeah, I’m fine.” I would be even better if you would tell me where we’re going.

He smiles and turns back around and continues to pull me out the front door.

“Here, we’ll take my car,” he says as he opens the passenger door for me.

“Can you tell me where we’re going? I don’t think my parents want to hear that my dance partner kidnapped me…”

He chuckles, “Okay, we’re going to go meet Claire and Kai.”

Claire? Why would we go meet Claire? And why is Claire with Kai? Claire doesn’t like Kai… At least, I don’t think so.

I turn and look at him quizzically, “Uh, why is Claire…with Kai?”

He clears his throat and begins to start the car, his hand slightly shaking as he puts the key into the ignition.

“Uh, I’m trying to set them up…”

So Kai likes Claire! Really?! No way! HAHA! IN YOUR FACE YURI!

I raise my eyebrows, “So…Kai…likes Claire…?”

“No.”

Huh? I frown. Well, that’s confusing.

“Does Claire…like Kai?”

“No.”

Luhan grips the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles protruding sharply from his hands. He continues to concentrate on the road.

This makes absolutely no sense. Why would he be trying to set up Claire and Kai if they don’t even like each other? Or is this one of those, “they like each other, won’t tell anyone, but everyone can tell” situations? I don’t get it. If she doesn’t even like him, then what difference would it make? I mean, I wouldn’t mind dating Kai if someone tried to set me up with him. And I know Claire thinks he’s really cute. Or is she just not telling me something?

And Kai…Kai is highly regarded at our school. Doesn’t he like one of the cheerleaders? That sounds really superficial. I guess I would just expect him to like someone in the popular crowd and just not tell anyone. He gets just as many love notes as Luhan does. But neither of them date or go after anyone. They always hang out with each other and then half of the school’s female population follows them around 24/7.

But if they don’t like each other, then I don’t see why Luhan is trying to set them up. That makes no sense. Claire would surely tell me something.

“Okay then…so why are you trying to set them up if they don’t even like each other?”

Luhan continues to stare at the road, breathing slowly and heavily before responding.

“It’s…complicated.”

Seriously? That’s it? It’s “complicated?” Oh give me a break!

“Complicated? How so?”

He sighs, “It just is, okay? It shouldn’t matter to you. Just follow along when we meet them.”

He turns on the radio and Exo M’s “What is Love” begins to play. Again… I'm really starting to hate this song. 

Gosh, what is up with him? He’s never spoken to me like that before. And why shouldn’t this matter to me? He’s bringing me along. I have to serve some purpose. Maybe he just needs me to help?

“Okay, we’re here.”

We’re at the mall. How convenient.  More opportunities for obnoxious school girls to follow him. And more importantly, me. I'm going to be hated for the rest of my high school career. 

He turns to look at me, softness in his eyes.

“Sorry about yelling at you… I didn’t mean to do that. I’m just…frustrated.”

I give him a weak smile, “Don’t worry about it…” He’s lucky I like him. I sound pathetic. It's like he could..physically abuse me and I would still forgive him. 

We get out of the car and walk inside of the large mall. We walk down one wing and down an escalator and then up another escalator and then down another wing. This mall is easy to get lost in. Then we walk up to the Etude store. Oh what luck! I’ve been meaning to get some more BB cream.

When we walk into the store, I spot Claire on the other side of the store and run over to her.

“Hey Claire!”

She jumps, “Oh! Lindy! Hey! What are you doing here?!”

I guess I can’t tell her that I’m trying to set her up with Kai. Luhan will probably kill me.

“Uh…I need to buy a new set of BB cream…” I’m such a horrible friend. I lied…but then I didn’t lie.

“Oh, me too! But guess what! Kai is in here too! I wonder why…”

Hmm, maybe she does like Kai. Unless she’s just surprised that he’s in here. To be honest, I would be surprised that Kai is in a store like this too. He has really nice skin though…

“Do you…do you like him?”

She raises an eyebrow, “Kai? No. I think you and I have already established the fact that I like Baekhyun. Even though he has no idea that I exist… except in his chemistry class.”

I’m stupid. I knew that. But seriously! Why is Luhan trying to set them up?!

“Oh that’s right, I forgot.” Well, I'm officially confused. 

I move closer to her and whisper into her ear, “Oh my gosh! I have so much to tell you!”

“Really? How is dance practice with Luhan?”

“It’s good, but speaking of that, he kis…”

Before I get to finish my sentence, Luhan and Kai walk towards us. Luhan takes a step and stands next to me and clears his throat. Then, he looks at Kai and Claire.

“So are you guys ready for your date?”

They both turn and look at Luhan with wide eyes and open mouths.

“DATE?!” they both shout.

“What date?” Kai asks.

“Yeah! What date?!” Claire shouts.

Luhan smirks at both of them, “You guys are going on a double date.”

Claire raises an eyebrow, “Double date? With who?”

“Me,” Luhan says nonchalantly.

Luhan? Luhan is going on a double date with them? I think my heart just shattered into a million pieces. Who's the girl?

“You?” Kai begins, “Who are you going with?”

Suddenly, Luhan grabs my hand and interlocks his fingers with mine. He raises our hands.

“With Lindy.”

My eyes widen. What?

“My new girlfriend.”
