"Minseok-ah, be my boyfriend."

"What are you sayi-"

"Please?...."

"Luhan-"

"Please."

"I'm sorry."

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

Xiumin felt Luhan's grip tighten and tensed.

Luhan buried his face on his shoulder.

No one talked. Until...

"Lu-Luhan...are you crying?"

Luhan sniffed on his shoulder but didn't answer.

Xiumin felt his shoulder getting wet.

Xiumin chuckled but had teary eyes.

Luhan looks at him confused, with tears still visible.

"What's funny? Ah, yeah. I, Luhan, the jerk and annoying gang member, just got rejected by-"

"Stupid! I didn't reject you."

Silence.

"What?!"

"I didn't reject you."

"What?"

"I said I didn't reje-"

"What?"

"For fuck's sake can you not get it?! I said I'm sorry but that doesn't mean I rejected you already!"

Luhan slowly smiled. Xiumin is obviously annoyed but has a smile on his face.

"So are you my boyfriend now?"

"Nope."

"What?!"

"I thought you've been my boyfriend since a while ago when Minghao-"

"Oh my God! How can you make me cry like shit! I really thought....God! This is so embarrassing! Fuck sorry for cursing but shit-"

Luhan froze.

"You won't shut up...so I had to."

Xiumin shyly moved away.

"Did you...just kiss...me?"

Luhan stupidly pointed at himself.

"Let's go inside now. They're waiting."

Xiumin ran inside to hide his blush and smile.

Luhan was left still processing what happened.

"Fuck. I'm so whipped!"

He mumbled before biting his lips and following inside.

In the dining room...

Luhan entered the dining room and quickly spotted Xiumin who ignored him and continued feeding Minghao.

"Come here, handsome young man. Let's eat."

Grandpa invited him.

He took the seat in front of Xiumin, beside Heechul. Since that's the only available seat.

Let's just say Heechul didn't plan that. Not at all.

Luhan can't help smiling and biting his lips, which Heechul and Hangeng noticed.

"What is it?"

Heechul asks.

Everyone turned to Heechul then to Luhan.

"Uhm...well..."

This is my chance to apologize.

Luhan thought.

"First of all, I..."

Luhan looks at Xiumin who was already looking at him.

"...I wanted to apologize to everyone. Especially to you sir Heechul. I know I was a jerk ignoring Xiumin back in Korea but-"

"It's fine, Lu-ge."

Xiumin interrupted and smiled.

"I really am sorry for all the things I've done wrong and for hurting Xiumin. I promise I will not hurt him and make him cry again. I'm sorry."

Luhan sincerely apologized.

Everyone stared at him, including Minghao who was clueless.

Luhan stood up and made 90 degrees bow.

"Please give me a chance to prove my sincerity."

"What are you doing old meanie man?"

Minghao asks curiously.

Luhan, who was still bowing, tilted his head to Minghao's direction and twitched his lips in annoyance.

Xiumin saw it and suppressed his laughter.

"Aigoo~ You're making my headache. Come back here and sit."

Heechul pulled Luhan back to his seat and pretended to be annoyed but obviously amused.

Hangeng and his parents smiled to Luhan.

"Skip the drama and eat this Baozi. Mother prepared this with Hangeng."

Heechul keeps putting food on Luhan's plate which earned a chuckle from everyone.

"I like all of these. Especially..."

Luhan looks at Xiumin who avoided his stare the moment their eyes met.

"...specially Baozi."

Luhan smiled cockily.

Not a second passed, Luhan felt a kick on his leg.

He hissed in pain and everyone looked at him for the nth time today.

Xiumin didn't bother looking and meeting Luhan's glare.

"Don't mind me. This food is just so delicious!"

Luhan quickly covered and took a spoonful of rice.

Luhan keeps staring at Xiumin. When Xiumin looked up, he smiled but Luhan knows it was a wicked smile.

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

"Minmin-ge, are you going to leave me?"

"Huh? Why are you asking that?"

"Because the old meani-"

"Ya, stop calling me old, you small brat!"

"Stop calling me small brat!"

"Shut up, you two."

Heechul shouted from the living room.

The three of them are in the dining room. Minghao just sat on the table while Xiumin fixes and tidying up everything with Luhan assisting him.

"But Minmin-ge, he said he will take you back to Korea. How about me?"

"You will stay here bra- kid~"

Luhan teased.

"Minghao, baby. You know you have to study here, right?"

The kid nodded with a pout.

"And your Minmin-ge needs to study in Korea. So I have to go back there and finish my studies."

"And we will date there without a cockblocker."

"LUHAN!"

"What's cockblocker?"

Minghao asked innocently.

"Oh God, Luhan I'm gonna kill you!"

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

The day went by fast.

Luhan had to go back to his hotel which is a few minutes away from the mansion.

Minghao already went home after his mother picked him for school.

"Thank you for the breakfast. Your cooking is really delicious, grandma and uncle Hangeng."

Luhan smiled and bowed.

"Take care on your way, young man."

Grandpa pats Luhan's shoulder.

"I will, grandpa. Thank you."

"Luhan!"

"Ah, yes, sir-"

"SIRRRR?"

Heechul exaggeratedly asks.

"I mean...appa."

Luhan felt a bit shy calling him appa but that's Heechul so...

"Better. Now, make sure to call Xiumin when you-"

"Okay, okay. Let's leave them and let them talk on their own."

Hangeng interrupted and started dragging Heechul away from them.

They stared in amusement and shared laughter.

"So....?"

"Don't worry. I'll call you."

Xiumin hummed and nodded.

"I'll go ahead now."

Luhan stated.

Luhan checks Xiumin's back to see if anyone's creeping. Xiumin looks back confused.

Luhan smiled and when Xiumin turned to his head back, Luhan pecks at his lips.

Xiumin was surprised and gasped.

"I'll go now."

Luhan chuckled and started walking backward while waving his hand.

"Walk properly! Pabo!"

"I love you too!"

Luhan shouted.

Xiumin's face automatically became all red.

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

"Hey, what was the thing you want me to buy?"

"Huh? What? Who are you? What did you do to my twin?"

"Shut up and just tell me while I'm in the mood, Ren."

"Fuck, did you just hit a jackpot there in China? Why are you being-"

"I'll hang up now-"

"Fine, buy me those cute souvenirs I showed you last time."

"Okay."

"Okay? Are you really my twin-"

Toot...toot...toot.

Luhan hangs up before Ren could finish his sentence.

Meanwhile on the other side...

"JR!"

"What the fuck?! Babe, I'm just beside you. Why do you have to shout?"

"Someone possessed my twin brother!"

"What? Are you crazy?"

"He's being nice!"

"Oh shit. Who should we call for help?!"

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

"Wassup? How did your meeting go?"

"It's good. No. I mean it's great! Fucking great!"

"Okay, chill man. You sound like you just won the lottery."

"Fuck, you wanted to try my bike, right? You can go and get it. Ask Ren for the keys."

"Shit, are you Luhan?"

"Haha fuck you but never mind. You can use it anytime till I get back there. Tell my greetings to the others."

Toot...toot...toot...

Kris stared at his phone on the table for a few seconds.

Everyone in the room stayed quiet for a minute. Well, they had the call on speaker. EXO-M heard the conversation.

"Was that..."

Tao couldn't finish his question.

"Was that really him?"

Lay finishes.

"Luhan hyung was the one who talked, right?"

Chen asks trying to confirm.

"Fuck. I didn't know an in love Luhan will be like this but who gives a fuck when he just fucking let me borrow his cool bike worth of millions?!!!"

Kris obviously can't contain his excitement.

The others just rolled their eyes but smiled at the thought...

Luhan is in love.

To a certain guy, named Xiumin.
