Maybe to Luhan, they’re just friends. But Sehun’s never looked at Luhan the way a friend should, since the moment he’s caught his attention and made him join a club of his interest he never thought he would have it in him to keep as a hobby.

“Stop staring.” Luhan reprimands, staring straight at the road before them, and noticing how Sehun’s eyes were glued to his face through his peripheral vision. His teeth, lightly clattering and Sehun regrets having not brought a scarf.

“I just missed you,” Sehun admits, halting his steps, and prompting Luhan to do the same thing too. He takes his scarf off, and drapes it around Luhan’s neck who doesn’t protest knowing that between the two of them, he was much more sensitive to the cold.

Luhan's looking down at the pavement, and Sehun doesn't know what to do with knowing how painfully obvious he's being—at giving out hints that he was still waiting. For the wishes he made at 11:11's. For that coin he threw at Cheonggye Stream. For that piece of paper he tied by the wishing tree at Hwaseong Fortress.

For that “Wait for me, okay?” he's been promised at the airport when he tried to stop Luhan from leaving much like in those romance movies they both poked fun of.

Luhan should have figured it out by now, and Sehun can tell that he's turning a blind eye to it.

Tomorrow, Sehun thinks, on Christmas day, as he fixes the piece of clothing on his neck and lets the fabric brush lightly on Luhan's lips to keep him warm.
