Luhan: My Annoying Boyfriend (Sequel to Luhan: The Annoying Brat)
Luhan's POV
I don't know why, but I feel like Sungchan's avoiding me. I've felt with the way she's avoided my calls and not replying with my messages. "And I think Amber's in it, too!"
"Relax," Hanbyul told me and patted me on my back. "You're just paranoid. I think you're overreacting."
I pushed his hands away. "No. I'm not overreacting. Chan-Chan never dodges my calls."
"Oh really?" Hanbyul mocked and raised an eyebrow. He looked like one of those villains in TV shows. The girl villains.
I squinted. "Really."
He sighed and slung his arms on my shoulder. "Oh, lover boy. What ever should we do with you?"
I shrugged his arms away again. "Nothing. I'm going to their room."
"Again?! Like, dude. You've gone there for like, what, six times?"
"And up 'til now she's asleep? I don't think so. I told you Amber's in this."
"I told you, relax..."
"Relax? How can you tell that to me when my girlfriend's going ninja on me?"
He wiggled a finger. "Overreacting..."
I sighed and crossed my arms. "What am I supposed to do? You know, you should be supporting me."
"What do you want me to do?"
I stared at my Aussie roommate whose face registered a mix of confusion and irritation. He's right. I shouldn't be dragging him into my own emotional roller coaster ride, if ever I'm even in one.
"Okay. I'll go to their room for the last time. If she's still 'asleep', I'm barging in." I went towards the door.
"Hey, Romeo. Wait a sec. Don't you think the reason she's avoiding you is because you always act like that?"
I froze in front of the door, and slowly turned back to him. "What did you say?"
Hanbyul stepped towards me. "Come on, man. Look at you! You're too overreacting. Too possesive. Overprotective. That's why you get jealous so easy. Maybe she wants to get away from that side of you. Even for a day. Maybe she's tired of your overreaction all the time."
I kept my eyes on Hanbyul, and let the words sink in completely. Sungchan's... tired of me? Am I really exaggerating my actions? Was Sungchan really feeling that way?
No. She wasn't feeling that. "She's not like that."
"I'm just saying, Luhan. Don't let Sungchan slip away from you just because of that overreaction."
I looked away. I don't know what to say. I was gripping the handle of the door, but didn't make a move to twist it. Maybe, I've gone too far.
Wait.
I've heard that a lot of times from me now.
I've said that a lot of times to Sungchan.
Maybe, I've reached my limit.
I twisted the door knob. "I'll be back." I stepped out of the door to check on Sungchan.
I walked towards her dorm room, and each step made me doubt if what I was doing was right. Upon arriving, I lifted my knuckles and knocked at their door.
Unsurprisingly, Amber opened the door again. Before she could even talk or speak, I beat her to it. "Still asleep?"
She closed her opened mouth and looked at me
