don't forget me. 》luhan

Chapter 18

- Luhan -

"What?" he asked in disbelief. "Do you want to come with me to the Philippines?" I repeated. "Why?"

"There are some things I have to take care of." I simply explained. "Is this about (Y/N) again?" he sighed. "Would it be bad if I said yes?" I mumbled. "But Luhan, we debut tomorrow. We can't possibly catch a flight to the Philippines and back without missing the performance."

"Who said we were missing the performance?" I smirked.

"What are you talking about?" he gasped. "I'm saying that we can perform with the group, but not all of us are going to be in China. I have a plan, but we need to get to work." I said with a sneaky tone. I swung my legs over the bed and grabbed my jacket. I slipped it on, and that's when Xiumin asked, "What are you doing now?"

"I'm sneaking out to the debut stage. I have to set up the plan now, or else we would run out of time." I responded and he let out a deep sigh.

"Fine, I'm coming with you." he grumbled.

We snuck out the door after turning the alarm off. We drove to our debut venue, where there was a late night crew busy at work. "Excuse me, can I talk to your manager? It's about EXO's debut tomorrow." I informed. The production staff just pointed to the back of the building, where we immediately ran after thanking them.

I knocked on the door and it opened several seconds later. "Hello, we are EXO's Luhan and Xiumin. We need to talk to you about a special feature for our performance tomorrow." Xiumin explained. And with that, he welcomed us inside.

The manager was an uptight man, with a black suit and tie. He always had a serious gaze, which intimidated me slightly. He was about 35, I suppose.

I started explaining. "We have a notion that we believe will entertain the audience in a...different way."

"So, what is it, boys?" he asked, settling back in his seat.

"We want to do a live broadcast from the Philippines while the other 4 members are performing. That will allow fans from China and the Philippines to enjoy our performance. I promise that it will recieve high ratings."

He sighed and clasped his hands together, which probably meant he was going to shoot us down.

"Actually, boys, that seems like an amazing idea. International debut, I should call it. Consider it done."

I tapped the arm rest of the airport waiting chair nervously. Xiumin was sighing quietly while patting his thighs. The steward grabbed the microphone and mumbled something to the people in the waiting room, but I couldn't hear him. My head and heart were pounding so loud, that everything was muffled.

"Luhan, we have to board." Xiumin mumbled, tapping me on the shoulder. "What? Oh, okay." I said groggily and got up while grabbing my bags. I boarded the plane and sat down, staring at the window.

"Luhan." Xiumin whispered. "Yes?" I questioned, turning my head to face him. "You must really love (Y/N), right?"

I nodded. "Good, because I would slap you if you didn't. We would have gone all the way here for nothing." he laughed, lightening the mood. I chuckled weakly and turned to the window again.

Was I really making the right decision?

She was the one who wanted to spilt it off in the first place. But I promised myself and her that I wouldn't give up. And I couldn't now, not when I've come so far to save our relationship.

I was going, and I was definitely sure that nothing could change my mind.
