I found Luhan

Chapter 11

Throughout the day everyone kept giving me sympathetic looks and talked to me as if I was disabled from head to toe ,but there was one thing I looked forward to and that was to walk home with Luhan.

I skipped out the front gates through crowds of people that is begging for information of Yixing and grabbed Luhan by the arms and got out.

I felt fatigued after today, walking with Luhan was one of my only way out and I don't even know why.

"How are you feeling?" ,he asked as if he was my therapist.

"Bad" ,I answered truthfully.

He nodded in understanding

Then swung his arms around me while his intoxicating fragrant surrounded me.

"It's ok we all have those days"

"Isn't it a burden to stay around me?" ,I asked

"Nope it's like a fairy tale" ,he replied almost immediately.

I couldn't reply to his words as it was echoing repeatedly in my head.

I looked up at him noticing how charismatic he looked, fitting well with the scenic background, he looked down onto me and smiled with certitude making me feel delusional in the head.

Breaking the romantic atmosphere his stomach growled.

"I guess now is the best time for me to return your flavor" ,he chuckled.

As I entered his house,I saw how tidy and empty it is, well to be exact it was tidy because it was empty. There was just cardboard boxes stacked on top of each other and a round table with three stools surrounding it.

"This is so....empty" ,I said as he took out instant noodles from his cardboard.

"Yeah...no point in unpacking if you can't live here for long",he replied.

"So are you moving out soon? I mean you just moved in"

"This is what I get for being a step-son"

I stared a him just to make sure he was alright, he stared at me back and smiled.

"I know, this is everyone's reaction, but I always wanted to ask you something"

"Yes?"

"You know when you first saw me, how did I look like?"

"You looked, like you but wearing hobo clothes"

"NO, I ment when you approached me"

"Uhm, you just looked like a hobo to me"

He laughed as he dropped the noodle into the pot.

"Like I swear, I was a child, then suddenly I became bigger and older, like out of nowhere"

"Actually now that you mention it, you did look like a child from the back when I stared out the window"

He paused. Then he continued to pour in the spices.

"You know, in 10minutes you could cook ramen. In 10minutes you could walk to the park. In 10minutes you could wash your hair. In 10minutes you could write the last chapter of your story"

"What's with this 10minute thing, seriously stop" ,I said half laughing.

"In 10minutes your dreams could come true"

I tilted my head and stared at his back as he continuously stirred the noodles.

"You're being weirdly cheesy right now" ,I said jokingly.

"Go out with me" ,he said mono-toned as he poured the ramen into a bowl.

"Like outside?"

"Date me"

"Wow, where is all your confidence coming from"

"Do you wanna start tomorrow then?"

"Slow down, stop avoiding my questions"

"Fork or chopstick?"

"Chopstick" (Asian pride)

"I really do like you ____, and I don't think I have much time left"

He stuck a pair of chopsticks on top of the ramen and placed it I front of me.

"What do you mean? Are you gonna die or something" ,I said as I began to eat.

He looked out his window and sat down silently, but whispered something so inaudible no even that snoopy kid from your class would be able to hear so I shrugged it off and continued eating.

"But you do realize we only met for like, just over 2 weeks right?"

"It's fate" ,he said as he continue to stare at me eating and slurping my ramen.

"You're making me uncomfortable"

He intensifies his stare.

I began to laugh at his weird response as he tucked my hair behind my ears.

"Woah slow down with the skinship"

But secretly it was nice.

He just smiled back at me like a idiot.
