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

The Walk of Valentine's

They all stare at me in disbelief.

"What?!" they all shout.

"I said I will go with Kai,"  I say nonchantly.

I must be the biggest idiot on earth right now.  I don't make any sense to anyone or even to myself.  I'm not even trying to help myself.  Why did I just agree to go with Kai?  I don't even like him like that.  AGH!  What is wrong with me?  Am I trying to make Luhan jealous? 

I stand up and grab Kai's arm.

"Come on!  Let's go!  I heard the line is really long!"  I lie.

"Wha-woah! Slow down!" he shouts, tripping over his feet.  

I pull Kai towards the other side of the mall.  

"Wha-why are you walking so quickly?" he asks.

I don't answer him.  I don't really want to answer him because frankly, I don't even know why I'm doing what I'm doing.  I hate feelings.  I swear, feelings only exist to screw us all over.  They always say to follow your heart.  But then your brain comes back and is all, "You idiot.  What are you thinking?  Stop that."  So you stop.  Then your heart comes back and says, "Nope, no you're not.  Go ahead and do this.  It's harmless."  How frustrating. 

When we get to the attraction, there is no line at all.  Well, crap. 

"Hey, the line is shorter than you expected," Kai says, "Let's go in!"

"Uh, okay!"  I say, trying to sound the least bit excited.  I am probably not at all convincing.

He starts pulling me towards the pink tunnel when two of the workers stop us, one male and the other female. 

"Say cheese!" both of them say with wide smiles. 

Crap.  I completely forgot.  They take pictures of each couple that go in.  Can this get any worse?  Kai and I aren't even a couple!

I force a smile as they snap the picture.  The female gestures for us to enter the tunnel, and we follow her directions.  

We walk down the curving tunnel, seeing pictures and love notes all along the walls.  It makes me feel like throwing up everything good inside.  Not like I have anything good inside anyway...being some bipolar, emotionally unstable, mad girl.  I keep my gaze to the ground while Kai walks next to me in silence.  This is so awkward.

We finally arrive to the main attraction within the tunnel.  There are many stations that sell couple items, offer photo shoots, as well as an area to write love notes.  

"Let's write notes to each other!" Kai suddenly says.

I jump slightly.  I wasn't expecting that... 

"I... Uh... Okay..."  

I slowly walk over to the station, take a pink piece of heart shaped paper and a black pen.  Kai does the same and immediately starts writing.  What am I supposed to write?  "Hey Kai, I don't really like you.  I'm not trying to make Luhan jealous or anything...  And I'm not using you..."  Boy, I suck at this.  "Hey Kai, I'm glad we're friends."  That sounds pathetic and effortless.  I stare at the paper and think for another moment before starting to write. 

"Kai, you're such an incredible dancer that I get really jealous sometimes.  I really like hanging out with you and I hope we can hang out more in the future.  (Even though this is the first time we've actually spent time with each other.)  But anyway, I hope we can become closer and maybe do a dance project together!  Yeah?  -Lindy(:"

Wow, that sounds horrible.  But what else am I supposed to say?  I hope no one asks me to write any sentimental letters to them because I wouldn't be able to do it.  I grab another piece of paper and write another note on it. 

Right as I finish, I see Kai put his pen down and walk over to an empty spot on the wall to pin his note up.  He turns around and smiles at me and I smile back.  

"Excuse me, Miss?"

I turn my head to see the man at the love note station looking at me.

"Yes?"

"You know, they say that if you write a note to the one you love, your love will come true?" 

He smiles at me.  But when I look into his eyes, they tell me something completely different.  He looks...sad. 

I force a smile. 

"No, I didn't.  Thank you for telling me."

That was weird. 

I put my pen down and walk over to Kai, pinning my note next to his.

"Read it!" he says to me.

I look to the note next to mine. 

"Hey Lindy!  It's so great that I'm able to get to know you better.  You're so sweet and such an amazing dancer.  But I really want to tell you that you are one of the most beautiful girls I have ever met.  You're absolutely incredible and any guy would be lucky to have you.  I love you.  -Kai"

My eyes widen in shock. 

What...?
