The Academy

Chapter 8 (Part I)

4-ish months ago

"Xiumin oppa!" Jeira calls out from the second floor.

Xiumin just arrived and he's walking towards the building. The sun shines on his pink hair and it almost turns white. Xiumin shades his eyes with his hand and looks up at Jeira sitting near the window.

His face breaks into a sweet smile as he sees her.

"Good morning Jei!" He waves.

"Good morning to you too Xiumin!"

"Umin!!!!"

Xiumin turns around and sees his bestfriend running towards him.

"Luhan!!!!!"

Luhan slows down as he comes to a stop infront of Xiumin.

It takes him a moment to catch his breath.

"Told you I would catch up to you." Luhan grins.

"I thought you wouldn't cause you didn't even want to wake up." Xiumin chuckles.

"But I did." Luhan sticks out a tongue.

"Good morning Umin."

"Good morning to you too Luhan." Xiumin greets back with a smile.

Xiumin and Luhan are childhood friends. Luhan's the pretty boy and Xiumin's the cutie boy.

All girls fall head over heels over these two beautiful boys.

And they've been together ever since.

There they are now, staring at each other, lost in each other's company and brotherly love...

*cough*

"Guys its too early. Go get a room." Sehun says and the two boys break into grins.

"You mean, 'go back to your room'." Chen shakes his head.

XiuHan shares a dorm room together. Almost all of the boys in the club do.

Sehun, Lay, Chen, Xiumin, and Luhan walk together towards the building's entrance.

"So Xiu, wanna go to the movies later?" Luhan says as he places his elbow on Xiumin's shoulder.

"Sure why not?" Xiumin grins.

"But we have practice later." Lay interrupts.

Lu and Xiu look at each other and frown.

"But--"

"No buts." Baekhyun says and walks with the boys together.

"Chanyeol's not with you?" Chen asks.

"Nope he won't wake up."

"Morning guys." Suho greets and walks together with the boys.

Baekhyun and Chanyeol share the same dorm. And Suho doesn't do dorms.

"Can't we just skip practice later?" Lu asks

"Yeah, it's not like it'd hurt any of our progress right?" Xiumin adds

"I guess not. But still-"

"You're just jealous." Luhan states.

"What? No I'm not!" Baekhyun argues.

"Then why can't we go watch the movie?"

"It's cause --"

"You can come with us." Luhan interrupts.

"Why would I---"

"I'll go with you." Sehun interrupts Baekhyun.

"Can we go too?" Chen and Lay chorus together.
