Nervous Dream

Twenty Four

Then the lights go on. Flashing on their eyes. In different colors. 

And the song starts to play. 

Both of them walks slowly to the music till Jaehee starts taking her steps to him. Luhan's eyes are covered with a thick layer of tears as he waits for Jaehee to come to him. His heart pounding under his chest rising and falling heavily. He could hear the fans screaming at him as tears starts streaming down his eyes and he takes her hand.

And it was time........

Jaehee turns and looks at him, he smiles through the tears. 

Jaehee smiles in return as Luhan grabs her by her waist. They hear the girls' loud screams behind their backs as they move their feet to the music. He runs his fingers through her hair as she bends back and he holds her up back on her feet.

Jaehee looks into his mysterious eyes, even more mysterious with a layer of tears covering them. In the midst of trying to figure out the cause of his tears, Jaehee finds it dreamlike to be his girl.

"Maybe this is what god's plan for me is " She thinks.

"DANCING"

She turns to look at his eyes once again before the lights go down.

"I will call you my Mr.Mysterious. For everything about you is familiar. Everything about you is , for me, a hint of pain along with a hint of joy." She wants to say.

"Why ?" Luhan wants to ask from her.

"Why would you do so much for me when I don't even want to share the same ground with you ? Why , Rian, Why ?"

As he holds onto her hand and lets his other hand stretch away he feels the warmth of his tears on his cheek. A stream of tears flies away from his face as he turns to her.

He feels his heart race, heavy with guilt and regret of giving this girl in front of him the hardest time of her life, while she was willingly sacrificing her entire life for him. Not only her life, but her blood.

Luhan feels the need to punch a wall but all he sees is a sea of fan-girls staring at them in awe as his body moves through the steps they've practiced for weeks. As the last step comes, he takes her hand and slowly pulls her to him. The screams behind them go higher and higher as Luhan runs his hand around her waist and holds her securely to himself.

So the lights go off. And it was over.

LuHan holds her to himself as they both are slowly descended to the downstage. He isn't able to find the courage to look at her eyes with all the guilt and the regret ruling his mind and he finds it hard to breathe. He feels her cold skin with the touch of his fingers as he closes his eyes.

Jaehee looks up at a crying LuHan looking away from her. She feels secured in his embrace and all she wanted was for this moment to last the longest.

"LuHan" She calls out and LuHan instantly looks at her. 

Their eyes lock on each other's. Luhan tightens his hands around her, slower but tighter. In the midst of his feelings going back and forth from regret and guilt, Jaehee pulls herself up to stand on her toes before she pecks his lips with hers. LuHan's eyes widen to the moment that lasted a mini second making him hit back to reality. He looks down at her eyes, curiously staring back at him.

This girl who had loved him for years, crying and begging for his love had changed so much and her wide beautiful smile was beginning to enchant him.

"I think I do" He answers himself, to the question he was asking himself, wrapping both her hands around her tighter and pressing his lips on her forehead. 

Jaehee's eyes close to the touch of his lips. Luhan brings her hand to her head and tugs her head to rest on his chest, tighter and tighter.
