Boy Friend or Boyfriend | Luqi

Chapter 4

"Xuxiii..." Lucas was working on his assignment when Yuqi strolled into his room with her annoying dreamy face. She looks extremely happy somehow.

"What happens to your—yah!" he yelped when she suddenly jumped onto him and let out a muffled squealed-scream while violently shaking him up. "Ok..ok..enough. Let me go..." he peeled her away from him. "Did you just won a lottery?" he asked as he scooted away from her.

"Better..." she replied with beaming eyes.

"You got a brand new car for your birthday..." he guessed again.

"Wrong"

"Then what?" he gave up.

She took a long sigh and mused low, "I have a movie date with Jaehyun oppa tonight!!!" She let out a low squeal again. Lucas stared blankly at her, trying to proceed the information inside his head. "Yah! Don't you want to say something?" she tugged his sleeve when he just sat there in silence.

"Oh yay!" he cheered unenthusiastically when he got back to his sense again.

"What with that plain reaction?" She complained, looking disappointed.

"What do you want me to say?"

"Oh, I don't know. A congratulation perhaps..." she commented sarcastically. He let out a humorless laugh. A congratulation huh? She wanted him to congratulate her for having a date with another guy. Is she for real? This girl is seriously gonna be the death of him.

Lucas stopped laughing and cleared his dry throat. "Ah, what a pity, I should have recorded your reaction just now and gave it to your prince charming..." he said afterward.

She creased her brow. "Why?"

"Your reaction is a bit over the top just now..." he explained. She stared at him, looking lost. "People would think you just got a marriage proposal..." he continued again.

She pursed her lips and retorted, "Whatever, I'm still happy otherwise..." Lucas rolled his eyes at her and leaned back to his couch, avoiding her beaming expression.

"So, what are you going to watch?" he asked, staring into the ceiling, ignoring myriad invisible knives that keep piercing through his troubled heart.

"Horror movie..."

Lucas glanced almost immediately at her answer. "You? A scaredy-cat like you is going to watch a horror movie?" he gasped loudly, giving her a disbelieving look.

"I'm not a scaredy-cat!" she protested.

"Oh really? Then who was the hysterical-girl when we watched Annabelle last month?" he teased her again. She pouted. "Are you seriously going to watch a horror movie with him?"

"Of course, he already got the ticket, so..."

"But you can't even watch the scary movie..." he commented again.

"So what? It can't be that scary..." she retorted, looking unsure. "And if I get scared I can always hold onto him and let him comfort me..." she continued again with a daydreaming expression. He cringed. "So, I don't care about the movie, I only care about the date..." her lips curved up into a huge grin, looking thrilled.

There's no point of telling her off. She was beyond happy right now. "Yeah yeah, good for you..." Lucas sighed, feeling defeated.

Lucas sighed for the nth times since Yuqi left several hours ago for her movie date with Jaehyun. He used to joke about this situation with her numerous times but somehow everything felt so different now. He never expected that he would be this upset about the fact she was hanging out with him, just two of them. It was hard to control his feeling lately, especially since they got back from that beach. After all the talk about the confession, he felt restless every single day. These insecurities were eating his brain out and—

His train of thought was interrupted by a noisy vibrating from his phone. He picked up the phone and stared at the incoming call. Yuqi. He ignored it and back to his game. After several second his phone stopped vibrating. He sighed again. Yuqi was the last person he wanted to see right now. If— his phone vibrated again. Why did she have to be this persistent?

He groaned low and answered, "What do you want?"

"Can you came over?" she asked from the other end.

"Why?"

"Mom and dad attend a funeral and mom said they're going to be late..." she said, sounding troubled.

"And? What does it have to do with me?"

"Aren't you worried about me at all?" she whined at his lack of sympathetic reaction. Of course, he worried about her, but seeing her in person was a terrible idea at the moment. He didn't know what he'll do to her if they see each other right now. "What if there's a thieve or someone trying to kidnap me while I'm all alone?" she continued again with a pleading sound. He rolled his eyes at her last sentence.

"Who would want to kidnap you? You eat five servings burger at once..." he retorted.

"Aaaah Xuxi..." she whined again.

"I'm so sleepy, go ask your oppa to accompany you..." he winced at his suggestion. You're such an idiot, Xuxi! He cursed under his breath.

"No..." she refused firmly.

"Why not? Shouldn't you be with him right now?" he mused, feeling irritated at the idea of them being together.

"No, we're not..." He sighed. "And are you crazy? I don't want him to see me in pajama..." What a weird excuse!

"You have no problem with me seeing you in pajama..." He commented with a nonchalant tone.

"It's different. Ah, stop talking about pajama and get your ass over here..." she said frustratingly.

"No, I don't want to walk over there. I'm too lazy to move from—"

"Xuxi..." she sniffed. "I'm scared..." He blinked. No more trace of demanding in her tone. She sounded at the verge of crying now.

He sighed. "Fine, fine, I'll be there in five..." There it goes his moping plan!

"Ok..." she murmured. "D-don't hang up on me! I swear I heard something from the kitchen..." she added again.

"Scaredy cat..." he teased her while getting up from the chair and strolled out of his room.

"Where are you going at this hour?" Ten asked him when he almost reached out the front door.

He turned around and found Ten and Yuta were playing a game on the living room. "Babysitting..." he gave Ten a vague answer and walked out of the house before he could ask another question.

"I'm not a baby..." he chuckled when he realized that they were still on phone.
