don't forget me. 》luhan

Chapter 8

- You -

I was terrified to face SoHee today.

She was the most popular girl at your school and she had that "power" to do anything she wants.

I put on your uniform and slipped on my glasses, which added to my atrocity. I hated wearing contacts, so people only knew me as "the girl with the big glasses".

I walked into the kitchen. "Eomma! What's for breakfast?" I asked. "Whatever is in the pantry." she blatantly said. I looked at her sitting at the table. She was really depressed.

"Eomma? What's wrong?" I questioned, sitting across from her. "(Y/N), I need you to listen carefully. You need to get a job." she said.

"Why?" you asked.

"Because I lost mine." she whispered and broke down crying. "Eomma, never cry! Don't worry, I'll get a job!" I exclaimed.

She looked up. "Thank you. You just need to work until I can find a paying job." she replied. I got up and hugged her.

"What's going on?" a voice asked behind me. I turned around to see Luhan. "Oh, let's go to school now." I said and dragged him out the door.

"Why was your mom crying?" he asked as we were walking. "She just lost her job, so right now I have to get one." I replied.

"Well, I'll go with you!" he said happily. "You would do that?" I asked. "Anything for my jagiya." he said, pinching my cheek and making me giggle.

"So...um...is your dad on another business trip overseas?" he asked moments later. I looked down at the ground, trying to hold back the tears rhat were welling up on my eyes.

"(Y/N)?" he asked.

He placed a hand on my shoulder. I couldn't hold them back anymore, so I started letting the tears flow. He pulled me close to his chest and hugged me while you sobbed. Once I stopped, he sat me down on a nearby bench.

"Now can you tell me what happened?" he asked. I nodded sadly.

"Well...he was on a business trip, like you mentioned before...and then he was heading to the Philippines for a meeting..." I said in between sniffles. "I turned on the news like I always do and discovered that...his plane..." I couldn't go on anymore.

I just turned away with your lip quivering. "I understand, (Y/N). But I didn't mean to make you cry, I'm really sorry." he said.

I wiped your tears away and stood up. "That was 8 years ago. I need to...forget about it." I suddenly said, trying to stay strong.

"Come on, let's go to school." I added bluntly. I dragged him into class and sat down.

"Ms. (Y/N)! I see you and Luhan are late." the teacher boomed.Both of us stood up and bowed. "Mianhae." we said in unison. She handed us late slips and we headed back to our seats.

SoHee smirked evilly. As I was about to reach my seat, she stuck her foot out and tripped me. The ground came closer and closer...and that's when it hit me. Or when I hit it, really. I got up and put a hand on my nose. There was blood coming out. I stood up and dusted the dirt off of my skirt. Luhan jolted up from his seat, but I shook my head at him and the sat back down.

"May I go to the nurse?" I asked the teacher, who was turned around during the incident. She nodded and I was on my way. The nurse rended to my nose and let me sit on front of her desk.

"(Y/N), I know somebody is bullying you. Just...please....tell me who it is." the nurse pleaded.

"SoHee." I sighed.

"Kim SoHee? She was talking to me the last time you were in here. She said that you fell. I didn't believe it for a second, so that's why I told the principal to keep an eye on you." the nurse explained. "She beat me up." I softly replied.

"I'll report this right away. Don't worry, this will be resolved." she said kindly. I smiled and stood up to walk out the door, but she stopped me.

"Oh, and (Y/N)? If you need a friend, don't hesitate to talk to me. Okay?"

"Thanks." I said and jogged back to the classroom.

- Luhan -

After school, (Y/N) and I went back to her house. I was only 3 days into the bet. As we arrived on the doorstep, my phone started ringing. "You go on inside, I have to take this." I said.

She nodded and walked inside. I went in front of the lawn and answered the call. "Yeoboseyo?"

"Luhan! Great news! I finished forming the group! Your training as a whole starts in two days." the voice on the other line said.

"Manager hyung! Oh, hi! How many members are there?" I said. "12. You debut in a couple months, so we need to continue training. EXO will be a success, I tell you!" he said and he hung up. EXO is probably the name of the group.

I walked inside."Was that your manager again?" (Y/N) asked. "Yeah. I start training with my group the day after tomorrow." I said. "Congratulations! Well, good luck." she said and kissed my cheek. "Thanks."

"So....um.....is your nose okay? I see you cleaned up the blood." I said. "Oh, it is fine. It's not broken." she laughed weakly. "I guess we forgot about our little plan." I mumbled. "Yeah..." she sighed. "But it's hard to stay away because you are just so darn cute!" I chuckled, squeezing her cheek. "Aww, my namjachingu is just as cute!" she giggled.

Still, I don't know why anybody would want to bully her.

But I don't care what they think, because she's genuine perfection in my eyes.
