Faux Pas

Luhan having lunch with Minseok has become a common thing now, and though he still isn't comfortable with the concept; he doesn't refuse the offer. Their lunches are never filled with silence, and that keeps Luhan from forgetting about Baekhyun.
Minseok smiles regardless of what he's talking about, and though it makes Luhan uneasy; he never brings it up in conversation.

Sehun has become more comfortable around Luhan, and has gone back to holding him at night. They don't talk about the kiss, but it's thought about each time they look a each other.
Bruises have taken over Luhan's body. He doesn't check in the mirror anymore; there are too many to keep track of, but Sehun checks every morning. The sick look on Sehun's face doesn't go away after he's seen them, but Luhan can't bring himself to care; Sehun isn't ignoring him anymore, and he's happy.

The school is hosting a Valentine's Day dance for the students. The dance isn't annual, and everyone knows the school is only hosting it to distract the students from the recent tragedies.
Luhan doesn't care about the dance. He plans to spend Valentine's Day with Sehun, and though Sehun can't eat or drink; heart shaped boxes of chocolate and sparkling grape juice will still be served at the small party Luhan plans to throw for only them.

Minseok asks Luhan to the Valentine's Day dance, and even as Luhan turns him down and explains that he already has a date; Minseok smiles.
He nods to say that it's okay, and leaves the library. His coffee is still hot, sitting on the table in front of Luhan where he left it.
There's a red heart drawn onto the side of the cup, and Luhan can smell that the coffee has been saturated with crème and sugar. It's meant for him, and he's sad that he can't accept it; however, he reasons that he wouldn't like it anyway, because he likes his coffee black now.
For the first time since Baekhyun left, Luhan eats lunch alone. It's too quiet, and he decides he'd like to hear talking, or smell cigarettes; however, neither is at his disposal.

The students are all wearing red string around their wrists to symbolize that they have someone to love. The students who don't have red sport
