Boy Friend or Boyfriend | Luqi

Chapter 18

"Alright, what is it? Spit it out!" commanded Soyeon after one hour talking about random things.

"What?" Yuqi asked her, sipping her ice lemon tea, pretending to be oblivious at her question. Of course, she called Soyeon today to have a girl-talk about yesterday's event. Though so far she had no guts to bring up the 'Lucas' topic. Not ready for Soyeon's endless teasing.

Soyeon scoffed loudly, not buying her pretense act. "So, what happened between you and Xuxi?" she asked afterward in a nonchalant tone.

Yuqi choked on her drink. "What? No...nothing of sorts..." she let out a nervous giggle, waving her arm frantically at Soyeon who gave her unimpressed stare.

"We won't be having this conversation if nothing happened between you two..." retorted Soyeon. Yuqi groaned, sometimes she hated how quickwitted her best friend was. "So, why don't you stop beating around the bush and tell me what's going on!" Soyeon added again, looking curious and impatient.

Yuqi took a deep breath and cleared her throat before mused, "Well, there's nothing out of the ordinary happened. I just a little con—"

"For God's sake, Yuqi! If I heard the word 'nothing' once more, I'm calling Xuxi myself..." Soyeon interrupted her stalling excuses.

"NOOO! You can't!" Yuqi exclaimed rather loudly but then immediately covered her mouth, glancing cautiously at her bedroom door. It would be very awkward if Lucas suddenly emerged on her bedroom door at this moment and started interrogating her too. "Promise me you will never breathe a word to him!" she added again, lowering her tone.

"I won't..." mused Soyeon lazily.

"Promise me!" She whined.

"I promise, good lord!" Soyeon rolled her eyes at her stubbornness.

She hesitated for a moment, glancing at the door once again, " Wait a minute..." she said to Soyeon and left the phone on the bed before strolling outside her room, tip-toeing toward Lucas's room, making sure he still engrossed in his game. She uttered a barely audible sigh when she spotted Lucas still sitting in front of the PC in his room, wearing a black-colored headphone, playing PUBG. He has been at it since this morning, one of the reasons why she had an opportunity to call Soyeon.

"Ok, the coast is clear..." Yuqi said to Soyeon once she got back to her room. Soyeon shook her head after muttering something like, 'You're weird!'. She didn't really pay much attention to what she said just now, too busy calming down her nerve. Ignoring her growing anxiety, she began to recount what happened yesterday afternoon to Soyeon in chronological order, after skipping some small intimate details, she expressed her confusion over the matter.

"So...you attack him first huh?" That was Soyeon's first reaction to her story, lowkey expecting this kind of reaction from her playful best friend. Just like Lucas, she loved teasing her. "I'm impressed!" she gave her two thumbs up then laughing her heart out.

"Yah! What do you mean 'I attack him first'??! I'm not doing anything weird, I just went over to show him some interesting pictures..." she exclaimed, defending herself.

"Are you sure that's it?" Soyeon asked, playfully wiggling her eyebrows at her. She nodded vigorously. "And you have to show him in such early morning?" The latter continued again in a scandalous tone. "In his bed? While snuggling with him?" She blinked. Now that she heard Soyeon mentioned it word per word like that, the whole affair did sound so wrong on so many levels.

"I'm not sneaking around, he's awake when I entered the room. Well, sort of..." she argued, blushing slightly at the flashback scene of herself, in short sleepwear, crawling into his bed and slipping into his arms. Now she got it why Lucas was reacting like that. "But it was Xuxi after all, so it doesn't really matter..." she mused again, trying to brush it off, pretending to be casual about it while trying so hard to get rid of those provocative images from her head. She must be crazy.
