Arranged Marriage with Luhan

Please take note that I updated thrice. Please head back to Dusk in case you have not read it yet. Thank you very much!

“A souvenir shop?” He asked as I nodded.

“That’s the only one we have not seen yet.” I said as he nodded.

The two of us entered. The people were not as many as the ones outside, and I guess that it is the quietest one.

We searched for a few things that we could bring for the members as gifts. We wanted it to be a little handy, so that they could carry them in every day of their lives.

We stared at a few phone chains, but I know they would not be able to like it. They are boys, after all. They practice simplicity.

     I stared at a couple of rings by the mirror, but Luhan told me that we might be suspected as fraternity members, leaving me to disregard the thought of it.

I was about to give up when Luhan dragged me to a certain corner in the shop. There, he led me to a table with a lot of key chains mixed and tied up. I really wanted to take a look at it a while ago, but since its orderliness was not as good as I had expected, I have decided not to.

I stared at the key chains. There were a lot of designs, starting from keys up to bears, which I found very adorable. But then, Luhan came up to me holding thirteen chains. Their designs are men in hanboks, but of course, one was an exception—one was female. They also came in different designs, where in each one, there is a distinct characteristic.

“I have figured out who is who. I’ll be buying this.” He said as I nodded.

“Would that not be a bother?” I asked as he shook his head.

“They’ll use it for something, you’ll see. They’re men now.”

“I’ll be paying half.”

“Don’t.”

He proceeded to the cashier and placed the items on the counter. I really wanted to pay even just the half, but he immediately took out his card and gave it to the cashier, leaving me no chance.

     As usual, he did not listen to me. I felt a little bit disappointed, but I guess he was just being kind. But even though, I know that in a few days, he will go and ask us to do a few things, with him showing what he gave us.

     We were about to go outside the store when my eyes darted to a small sculpture depicting a rose. It was one of the best I have ever seen. Its shading came up a little bit faded, which I think made up its vintage look. But I do think it was not much of use though, except for the space in the middle which I suppose was a space intended for small things such as bracelets, earrings, and many more. I stared at it for a while, but when Luhan tapped my shoulder, I did not realize that I stopped from my pace.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I just thought I forgot something.” I said as an excuse. But seeing that he was not convinced, he frowned at me.

“Do you want that?” He asked as I shook my head.

“No.” I answered and kept my eyes off the certain item.

“You’re lying.” He teased as I frowned at him.

I told him that we will be late, even though there is ten minutes still. I kept in my mind that I should not be wasting money for things that are not necessary. I would not want to give too much for a whistle.

All of us assembled to the meeting place just in time. We were happy to see each other after a small separation. Therefore, we have decided to eat at a small food chain Kris and Tao found in the middle of the night market.

We went there, and saw many people eating. I found it usual, though.

We searched for a table and gratefully found one fitted for all of us. We then fixed ourselves as they asked us what we wanted to eat.

We ordered a set of meals given on the menu. Although I think this does not belong on the line up of famous restaurants, I can feel that they have somehow adapted their manners just like one.

“You know, there were a lot of pets over there! There were even rabbits. They’re so cute.” Baekhyun said as Chanyeol laughed.

“He was nearly bitten. Gladly, the shop owner found him in time.” He said as we laughed.

A few jokes and stories were dropped as we waited for our food. Then, we have come to the topic of what we bought.

“I found shirts which were discounted if you buy thirteen. It was a rare occasion though, since it was usually counted with dozens. You could even set your own design!” Suho said amazingly.

“What did you print for each of us?” Baekhyun asked as Suho answered.

“Names with surnames at the back. The front part was made with the font Bank Gothic LT BT, I think, and I was amazed how they cut it, since that font was very thin. I really plan that we bring that to Lotte World.” He said as the food was served for us.

The rest of the time was fun with us dining, and when we reached eleven o’clock, we have decided to go home.

We were walking towards the van, since Kris left it at the parking lot on the other building. I was on my way alone with the guys behind me when I felt a presence beside me. It was Luhan.

“I wanted to give you something.” He said as I asked what he was talking about.

He then revealed a box. I thought there was something very heavy in it though, since I felt that he was having a little struggle. I asked him what it was, but he did not answer me. Instead, he gave the box to me as he opened the lid.

It was the rose sculpture that I was staring at a while ago.

I was pretty shocked with what he showed me, since a while ago, I did not see any time for him to purchase that one. I wanted to purchase it myself a while ago if so, but I guess this man is very unpredictable.

“How did you?” I asked as he smiled and held the things we bought tight.

“I can’t say, really. But bear in mind that I will be using that certain skill in the future.” He said and smiled.

It has been a long time since I updated. I hope this satisfies you. I am pretty upset with Luhan's case. He's my bias after all. But even though, I support him fully, and I am fine with any decision he makes. I hope you see it the way he sees his case. Thank you very much! 

        truly yours,
