3 Ways

Chorong

>_____<;;

Suho browsed around the kitchen once more before turning to look at Luhan with a smile.

"Are you from around here?" Suho asked.

"Oh...yea," Luhan nodded awkwardly.

"What do you do? I mean...your job," Suho said and wondered how much more awkward he could get.

Luhan took a few seconds to figure out what he'd say before answering, "I'm a guard."

Immediately impressed Suho's jaws dropped open, "Wow! That's really neat!"

Luhan just smiled in return and glanced toward the door.

"Are you Namjoo's boyfriend?" Suho asked.

"Oh...um..."

"Sorry...I didn't mean to ask if you're not comfortable talking about it." Suho immediately apologized.

"No, it's fine."

They quieted and Suho glanced around the kitchen again unaware of Luhan's watch.

"Are you here for Chorong?" Luhan asked and Suho immediately turned back to him feeling his face heat up at once. Luhan kindly smiled before saying, "If you're hoping to get closer to her, give her a sense of security first."

Suho blinked his eyes rapidly suddenly confused. "W...wait...wh...what do you mean?"

Luhan turned when Namjoo and Chorong walked into the room before turning back to him with a smile. Suho watched Luhan put his hands on Namjoo's shoulders before wheeling her away from the kitchen. Now utterly confused about what Luhan had meant, he didn't quite know what to say to Chorong.

"Sorry about that," Chorong apologized.

He turned back to look at her and observed her face, which didn't express much. A second later Chorong frowned and he turned away.

"Are you ok?" Chorong asked.

"Oh yea..." he nodded.

Chorong stared at him strangely before turning to look around.

"Sorry for holding you back earlier...just...my sister was dealing with something outside," Chorong explained.

"Oh, it's fine," Suho suggested.

"Then I'll walk you to the door," Chorong suggested.

They were quiet at first while walking together, but when Chorong opened the door he felt like he needed to say it before it was too late.

Abruptly turning around at the doorway he said, "Go on a date with me. We could go to the movies, do something you like, and have dinner."

Suho could feel his body heating up from the nervousness of everything and wondered if his face was red. What if she rejected him? He would be too embarrassed to ever show up in front of her again. Suho wanted to slap himself. Why couldn't he play this any cooler? Did she think he was an idiot? Did he look stupid? Oh the frustration of it was kicking at him from inside. He wanted to slam his face against the door.

"Sure," Chorong replied and he felt his heart skip a beat.

Was he hearing right?

Chorong gave him a tiny smile that assured him he hadn't heard wrong. He broadly smiled and let out a joyful laughed before clamping his mouth shut in embarrassment at his release of joy.

"What did you say to him?" Namjoo asked when they were by the sitting room. "Why'd he look like that?"
