I like you

A/n: shits about to go down ;) Also prepare yourselves bc this chapter is probably going to be long af.

-No pov-

The concert was a mess. Xiumin and Luhan had both run behind the stage after kissing each other and the rest of the boys were currently still onstage doing who knows what trying to create a distraction to buy them some time.

-Luhan's pov-

"Wait, Minseok!" I yell before running after him backstage. Oh no, what have I done? No, scratch that, what have they done?! I knew they were gonna do this, but I just let it happen. I didn't expect Xiumin to react anywhere near this bad... God, why do I have to be so damn selfish! All I thought about was kissing him, I didn't even consider his feelings! I was just as much as fault here as anyone else.

I ran backstage to his dressing room where I imagined he would be and kicked open the door, not even checking to see if it was locked first. Right when I was about to leave because I thought the room had been empty, I hear the faint sound of someone sobbing and look in the direction it was coming from. There Xiumin was, sitting under the table crying.

"Minseok!" I desperately try running to him but end up tripping on myself instead, falling forward on my hands and knees in front of him and staring directly into his red, tear-filled eyes.

"Are you okay?!" I ask feeling terrible that we all embarrassed him on live TV and made him cry.

He just shrugs and hides his face on his arms which were resting on top of his knees.

"Aw come on... Look at me. Why are you crying?" I grab his chin with my index finger and lift it gently so that he can't look anywhere else but at me.

"I-I don't know..." He stutters and grabs my hand pulling away from me and wiping his tears, only to be replaced by new ones. The sight of him looking like this nearly broke my heart. It didn't look like he was lying, but part of me thought he wasn't telling the full truth either.

"Um, You know..." I pipe up, trying to break the ice. "I really enjoyed that kiss."

I noticed him blush and steal a quick glance at me before looking up completely. "Y-You did?" He asks adorably in disbelief.

I nod without hesitation.

"I did too..." He says quietly before looking back down and playing with his fingers in his lap. He looks so cute and vulnerable like this...

"Oh, really?" I can't help but smile, regaining my confidence. You know what, he's leaving tomorrow so why not just tell him how I feel now? I might not ever get a chance like this again.

"Actually Minseok, I didn't like that kiss..."

He pauses playing with his fingers and looks back up at me with sad eyes.

"...I like you."

-Xiumin's pov-

He w-what...? Did I just hear that correctly? No, this can't be real. I must be dreaming...

"You what...?" I ask again out loud this time.

"I like you. Saranghaeyo, Minseok-Oppa." He responds with a sincere smile.

I feel my face flush harder than ever before and more tears start running down my face.

"I-I like you too, Luhan!" I finally manage to spill out the words before covering my face in embarrassment.

He beams brightly and wraps his arms around me, pulling me in a tight hug.

"Am I really not dreaming?" I ask, still feeling unsure.
