Luhan stopped his tracks as well when he saw the guy in front.

"Are you just gonna stand there, Xiumin?"

"A-appa!"

================================

LUHAN

I stood there like a statue while Xiumin attacked the guy in front of us with a bone-cracking hug.

The guy, who Xiumin called appa looked at me while hugging Xiumin.

I gulped and looked down.

In my entire life, I never felt so intimidated. Not even my grandfather.

"You didn't tell me you're coming back today appa!"

"Haha. It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you. Now come in first and let's talk later."

"Yeah! Yeah!"

Xiumin excitedly responded and seems like he forgot about me. What an idiot!

His father looked at me and I awkwardly cleared my throat.

"Oh...oh. Heechul appa, this is Luhan."

"Your boyfriend?"

I widened my eyes. His father is somehow blunt.

"What?! No! Appa! Don't embarrass me!"

I chuckled a bit when sir Heechul pouted and Xiumin scolded him.

They both looked at me.

"Stop laughing! He might think I'm joking!"

Xiumin with now red face scolded me next.

I instantly kept quiet.

"Are you sure he's not-"

"Okay! Okay! Let's get inside. Grandma is waiting!"

Xiumin cut his father and push him inside. I followed and closed the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Aigoo. Thank you so much Xiumin and Luhan. I really like these gifts you bought for me. It's been awhile when I received a gift."

Grandma smiled at us with happiness written all over her face.

I feel proud. I looked at Xiumin and smiled at me. He did the same.

I was still smiling at him when someone cleared his throat. I looked at his side and sir Heechul eyed me.

I quickly looked away and gulped.

"So mother, can we have a taste of your cooking now? Xiumin keeps bragging about it when I was still away."

"Of course, Heechul. Let's go."

Grandma went to the dining room to prepare the dinner. Xiumin followed right away.

"Hey."

I looked back and sir Heechul signaled me to go closer to him.

"S-sir?"

He suddenly grabbed my shoulders and looked at me.

"First, don't call me sir. Call me...maybe...boss? Ah no, that sounds like I'm a mafia boss or yakuza master. How about uncle? Oh no no no. I would look like Hangeng if you call me that."

He keeps blabbering about that that all I could do is stare at him and blink my eyes from time to time.

"Aha! I know now what you can call me."

"Y-yes?"

I asked nervously.

"Call me...appa."

"WHAT?! I mean...what?"

I gulped for the nth time.

He unexpectedly turned into someone much more intimidating while looking at me straight in the eyes.

"Is that clear, Luhan?"

I nodded quicker than a cheetah.

"Okay! Now, let's go eat, my son's lover."

"But sir-"

He smiled wickedly at me.

"A-appa...I'm not his love-"

"Aaah, I'm so hungry. Come on. I need to taste mother's cooking."

Then he left me there standing dumbfounded.

"Wow. What the hell did just happen?"

I shrugged it off and followed to the dining room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They were in the middle of eating their dinner while talking, most particularly praising grandma's cooking.

"Mother's cooking is really the best. I might get fat if I eat food like these every day. Aigoo."

Heechul once again complimented.

"Luhan said the same when he first came here." –grandma

Heechul looks at the two frozen boys.

"So if I'm right, this isn't Luhan's first time here." –Heechul

"Yes, this is his second. He came here last time. He's such a nice kid. I wanted to ask Xiumin to bring him again next time but who am I to ask."

"Grandma. You're my grandma, of course, you can ask me."

Xiumin answered.

"I will visit more often from now, grandma."

Luhan smiled at the old lady.

Luhan felt a kick under the table. He tried his very best not to hiss in pain.

Instead, he glared and Xiumin beside him.

He turned to Heechul and grandma in front of them and smiled sweetly.

"That's a good idea since I plan to stay here for a week. You should always visit us here."

"Sure..."

Luhan glance at Xiumin having his soup.

"...appa."

Xiumin choked on his soup quickly reaching for the glass of water.

Luhan smiled innocently while patting the other's back.

"Are you okay?"

He didn't get any answer but a deadly glare.

Heechul watched the two in amusement. Grandma just smiled at them.

"What did you call my appa?!"

"Appa."

"What?"

"Appa."

Luhan deadpanned.

Xiumin looks at his father but Heechul hid his face and pretended to be eating and stuffing his mouth full.

"Don't call him that. He's not your father."

Xiumin glared at Luhan.

"But he said I MUST call him that."

Luhan pouted like a kid being scolded.

"Don't listen to him, Luhan. You will be anyway since you're his lover."

The two men exchange looks and smiled.

Xiumin whose face is burning stood up and left without a word.

Once he was out, Heechul and Luhan high-fived but stopped.

Heechul retracted his hand hesitantly and drank his juice.

Luhan did the same.

"Yah! Why are you still here?!"

Luhan would lie if he says he didn't jump a little from the sudden angry voice.

He looks up and saw grandma looking at Heechul confused as well.

"Hurry up and follow him! That's how drama works! Pali! (Quick!)"

Luhan runs out of the dining room.

Once Luhan was out of sight, grandma stayed still staring at Heechul.

"How are you Xiumin's father? You're unpredictable."

"Thank you, mother. I'm awesome, right?"

"Good thing I'm not really your mother. I might have hit you a million times already."

"Well then, I'm glad I'm not your son."

They both chuckled and continued eating.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Luhan looked at the living room but Xiumin wasn't there.

He looks at the door he remembers as Xiumin's room.

He knocked. No answer.

He tried twisting the knob but it was locked.

He sighed before knocking again.

"Xiumin."

Knock! Knock!

"Xiumin open the door before I fucking destroy this shit-"

PAK!

The door opened but Xiumin only greeted Luhan with a smack on his head.

"Ouch! What the hell was that for?!"

"Can you stop cursing?!"

"Do you fucking need to-"

Xiumin didn't let him finish his sentence and pulled him inside his room then closed the door.

Luhan looks at him confused and a bit annoyed from getting hit.

"Listen, don't curse inside this apartment because appa doesn't like it even if he curses a lot."

"So you worry that I get a bad impression from appa?"

Luhan smirks. Xiumin looks at him in disbelief.

"Alright, another thing. Can you please stop calling him 'appa'? It feels like you're my brother or something?"

"Well, I feel like it's something but not brother."

Luhan walks to Xiumin's bed and lied down there without permission.

"Are you crazy and don't lie on my bed without my permission!"

"Can I lay here?"

"No!"

"Then there's no point asking for permission."

Xiumin grabbed his hair frustrated.

He is annoyed but at the same time nervous and embarrassed. Just because Luhan is in his room, Luhan is calling his father appa, Luhan is lying on his bed.

"At least Chunji knows how to say sorry."

Xiumin whispered walking to his side table but Luhan, of course, heard it loud and clear.

Luhan now felt irritated and insecure.

"What did you say?"

He asks blankly.

"Nothing."

"You said something about him."

Luhan gritted his teeth.

"Fine."

Xiumin stood up totally annoyed and looked at Luhan sitting on the edge of his bed.

"I said at least Chunji knows how to say sorry. You never say sorry for the bad things you did!"

Xiumin angrily walks away but Luhan suddenly pulled him down and pinned him on the bed...

...sealing his lips with his.

Xiumin's eyes opened wide and didn't move for few seconds.

Luhan slowly leaned back still eyeing Xiumin's trembling lips.

Xiumin wanted to say something but he just couldn't.

Luhan slowly leaned down again to kiss him but Xiumin realized what had just happened and pushed Luhan.

They both sat up in silence.

Xiumin couldn't take it any longer.

"Why...why...that...you..."

He couldn't form his sentence right. His heart is beating so much faster and louder than before.

"Sorry."

He looks at Luhan but Luhan already stood up and left the room without looking back.

After a minute, he heard Luhan's car driving away.

Xiumin hugged his knees still confused but he felt hurt.

"Luhan...said sorry."

He mumbled.

"Is he sorry...for kissing me?"

==============================
