Dark Pathway (EXO- xiuhan fanfic)

Chapter 3 - "Something usual happened"

-"-Luhan--

"I'm sorry sir, i.. I can't play today. My legs are... Umm injured" he stuttered as he looked down.

"Well, of course they are" I glanced at the p.e teacher as he answered sarcastically to minseok.

His answer made most of the students laughed. Except me. I didn't understand why such thing was funny.

"It's okay sir, i can choose another person" i said in the middle of the laughter. The teacher looked at me boringly.

"Well kiddo, the problem is we have even number of students. If one student can't play then one other student cant play too." People around me started to gather a bit closer to each other so they wouldn't be ousted of the game. At least that's what i guessed or what else would they stand so close to each other in this super hot day.

"I wont play then" i said breaking the silence.

I could see in my peripheral view Minseok shot his head up immediately after i said it.

"Well if you're okay with it then fine" the teacher said with the same boring tone he used earlier. Don't judge me but i started to get annoyed by him. "Minseok, you can rest... Wherever you want, and luhan...just do whatever you wan..."

"Umm excuse me sir.." The teacher looked at the owner of the voice and an annoyed look plastered on his face. Minseok continued hesitantly "i can try to play if luhan wants to play so bad"

What?!

"It's okay. You're injured. It's not like I'd die if i don't play"

"Are you sure?" he looked at me with a doubtful look

"Yeah" i shrugged.

"Okay! It's settled. We don't have much time. now both of you off the field, others lets start stretching" the teacher said loudly finishing with an even louder sound of whistle.

I walked off the field to the bleachers following Minseok who was already halfway there.

As soon as we reached the bleachers, Minseok stretched his body gently. He scrunched his face in pain every time he stretched.

"What are you doing? i thought you're injured" i moved closer starting to do the same.

"I am" he answered shortly

"You really need to stop saying such an obvious answer like that"

"Then you really need to stop asking such an obvious question" he retorted

I rolled my eyes in annoyance. "Seriously. What are you doing? You need to rest your injuries before its gone worse." I stood up looking at him. Expecting him to stop stretching but he didn't. "Please"

He stopped as he looked up. "if i stop, would you please stop bothering me too?" He frowned

"Bothering you? when did i ever..." He started to stretch again as soon as i talked. I sighed "okay okay. Please stop." He stopped. He raised his eyebrows waiting for my next words "i'd stop bothering you if you please stop stretching"

He smirked then stretched for the last time before saying "thanks. I'm done anyway"

"Oh!! How could you ..."

"Ya! You promised" he pointed at me with a smile of winning on his face.

I pouted "slicky" and slumped to the bleacher with my hands on my chest childishly.

A quick red flashed his chubby cheeks before he quickly turned his head and walked away sitting far away from me.

--Minseok--

Dammit Minseok

I cursed myself for even blushing by his childish behavior. I touched my warm cheeks and squeezed it slowly. It sent pain through my veins making me shuddered a little bit.

I folded up my left sleeve, showing a blue and purple-ish coloured of skin. The bruise in my left arm was the biggest and the worst one. If i kept fighting like yesterday, i'd die by the end of the week.

The kungfu panda or Tao as he introduced it last night, was not that strong if i might say. If it was just against strength, I would totally win over him. But it was not just about strength. He got the technique and the speed. He was trained. He was enjoying it. Not like me. I didn't even train. I just fought. I was just FORCED to fight.

bzzzt bzzzt

The vibration of my phone in my pants pulled me out of my trance. I fished out my phone and opened the text.

From : Chen Chen

How are you feeling ? He got you so bad last night. sorry i coudn't stay long enough to take care all of your bruises. something usual happened

Chen had been my best friend for as long as i could remember. He'd been my best friend since before i even started to fight. he was the one who helped me getting up when everybody pushed and kicked me all they want.

To : Chen Chen

I'm fine, it's not like it was the first time i fought. but are you okay though ?

I pressed "send" and locked my phone, turning it around while waiting for chen's answer.

Something usual happened

I was worried even though it happened a lot to him. we were best friends for reasons, we were clicked from the first time for a reason. and this "usual" thing was one of them.

From : Chen Chen

Chill, I'm fine. it's not like its the first time it happened :) haha

i gotta go. please rest and stay safe. see you later :)

I breathed a sigh of relief. i replied his text before putting it in my pants and went to the changing room because p.e class was already over.

To : Chen Chen

glad you're okay :)

you too. see ya!
