“Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu my cellphone!” I slapped my forehead after remembering that I left my cellphone with Sehun. I was already on my bed—lying comfortably as ever and was about to set an alarm using my cp when reality hit that it’s with the jerk.

And I haven’t even replied to Luhan’s message yet! I slapped my cheeks this time. Ugh. I hope he doesn’t misunderstand. Maybe tomorrow I could explain right after I kick Sehun’s sorry .

The next morning, I was surprised not to see Luhan in front of my apartment. He never missed a day in walking with me to school. I wonder what’s wrong. Is he sick? I hope not…

As I was about to enter the school gates, I was welcomed by the usual mob of fangirls that awaits the arrival of the school flower boys. I saw Luhan and Kai in the middle of them. So he’s not sick after all? I grinned ear to ear and ran to catch up.

“Luhan!” I shouted and waved my hands in the air to get his attention.

Kai seemed to have noticed me from the crowd he turned to my direction and craned his neck. He smirked and saluted with two fingers. I rolled my eyes and mouthed ‘Luhan’ while pointing at him . Kai pointed his thumb to Luhan and raised a brow.

I nodded eagerly, yearning so badly for Luhan’s attention. Kai nodded, assuring that he understood me. He tapped Luhan’s shoulder and pointed at my direction. I made my way through the screaming girls with my eyes focused at Luhan. As he turned his head, we met eyes for a fraction.

 But all of a sudden, he stole away from that little connection. It was as if he deliberately ignored me. The painted smile on my face was turned upside down. The corners of my lips sank as my heart did.

I stopped on my tracks. Was Luhan that disappointed in me? Guilt and panic surged through my blood. My head throbbed knowing that it didn’t want Luhan to be so distant.

I stood there, in the middle of the crowd, not minding if I was being shoved and swayed aside. The image of Luhan, ignoring me as if he didn’t know me made my world slow down. His eyes showed nothing. It didn’t reflect any recognition or any emotion.

Through my trance, I almost didn’t notice the person beside me calling my name until he shook my shoulders.

“Raemin-ah!” Suho shook me by the shoulders while looking at me straight in the eyes. He pulled me out of my thoughts, making me blink up to him.

“Oh, oppa.” I said nonchalantly.

“Are you alright?” He asked, still holding me by the shoulders. He tilted his head to the sides, examining my face clearly. I wasn’t fully aware of the female students sticking their nose out to witness Suho touching a girl.

“I’m okay.” I said with a nod and stepped backwards. I bumped into someone who placed his arms around my shoulders and rested his chin on it.

“Good Morning~!” Lay greeted, his breath was felt on my cheek.

“Good Morning.” I greeted awkwardly and scooted away from him. The fangirls were making holes on my forehead through their hateful and envious stares. I glanced at a few of them and ran to my homeroom. I left Suho and Lay pondering why I scrambled away.

Luhan has drained my energy.

In every class I took, I didn’t understand a single word the teachers said. My head was at another classroom wherein Luhan is seating through his class.

I wonder what he is doing. I wonder why he reacted like that this morning. I wonder why he is so disappointed. I womder if-

“Han Raemin-ssi, kindly tell us the coordinates of where your brain is fluttering right now.”

The whole class erupted in laughter as the teacher raised his brow at me and had his arms crossed over his chest. I blushed at the embarrassing attention and quickly stood up from my seat.

“I’m sorry seonsaengnim.” I bowed 90 degrees and sat back on my seat.

“Stay after the class has ended and write 100 ‘I’m so very, ultimately sorry you’re gracious Kim Seonsaengnim.’ on the black board.” He announced and went back to the original lesson.

I groaned inwardly and kicked lightly the foot of my desk. Ughh. Could this day get anymore worse?

Soon, the class had ended and I did what I was told to do. I stayed in the classroom and wrote the stupid sentence 100 times on the chalkboard. It ate half an hour of my lunch.

When I was finished, I hurried out of the classroom and sprinted towards the cafeteria. I’m sure Luhan would be in our usual table. I could explain why I wasn’t able to reply and finally reconcile with him.

This is all because of that jerk, Sehun. If he wasn’t so nosy, Luhan wouldn’t have ignored me. I swear. I would kick his today and retrieve my cell phone from his evil possession.

My eyes landed at the far right corner of the school canteen. All my friends are there, including EXO and of course—Luhan.

I sat at the empty seat beside Luhan with a huff. He didn’t even look up from his book as if he wasn’t aware of my presence. I looked at Kai for help and he just rolled his eyes at me.

I frowned miserably and turned with all my gathered courage to Luhan.

“Oppa…Sorry for yes-“ I was cut off when he suddenly stood up from his seat. I gawked at him with a confused expression while he never returned an eye contact.

“I forgot I still have something to do.” He muttered to the other guys but not me. After that , he strode across the cafeteria and headed to the exit.

Exo and Kai just stared at his retreating figure and wondered why he has such a cold attitude. Kayla and Rin shot me questioning looks while I sighed and buried my face in my arms.

“Tch.” I heard someone snicker. I looked up and saw Sehun smirking at me.

“Yah! This is your entire fault!” I leaned over and stabbed my finger on his chest. I then grabbed his wrist and pulled him away from the public. I lead him to the lockers where he and I leaned against them while facing each other.

“Give me back my cellphone.” I commanded and reached out my palm for it.

Sehun just looked away and ignored me.

“I said give it back. Now!” I raised my voice at him and displayed a completely annoyed expression on my face.

He rolled his eyes and fished it out from his pocket. I snatched it away from his grip and shot him one last glare before

I browsed through my text messages and calls.

My eyes bulged when I saw so many notifications from Luhan. There were 5 missed calls from Luhan and 8 text messages from Luhan the day before.

The very first one was when he asked me where I am before Sehun kept my phone away. The next text messages where filled with great concern and question marks.

But what caught my attention most was the last message he sent.

[Sent 6:59 p.m.]

Sorry for becoming a huge bother…

-Luhan

Luhan has never been a bother to me! Why would he say that? I read through the history and I was flabbergasted to see a reply that I never sent to him.

[Sent 6:48 p.m.]

I'm with Sehun right now.Please don't text me.

You're becoming a huge bother.

-Raemin

I gasped upon reading it and stomped towards Sehun. I could feel my head steaming and my face turning beet red with anger.

“Yah! Why did you say that?! Don’t you know how much of a trouble you did? Did you see Luhan’s reaction a while ago? He ignored me! Luhan ignored me as if-“

“LUHAN! LUHAN! Always Luhan!” Sehun countered, raising his voice at me.

“Is there even a nano-size space in your head that’s not filled with Luhan?!”  He continued, gesturing his hands angrily at every angle.

“NO! There’s not a space in my head that’s not filled with Luhan!” I shouted and placed my hands on my waist.

“Well then, I’m sick of it! I’m sick of your brain filled with nothing but Luhan! “ Sehun squeezed his head with the mention of Luhan’s name and ruffled his hair irritably.

“You are not anyone to meddle with my business. If my head is filled with Luhan, so what? Why do you even care?!” I asked, and threw my hands to my side.

“Because I’m jealous! Okay? I hate it when all you say is about Luhan! I hate it when all you care about is Luhan! I hate it! I hate you!” He ranted before running away with head hung low.

“…Sehun…” I muttered. My head was in haywire.

I can’t seem to process what I just heard. Why would that annoying, jerk, childish, irritating,hard-headed,evil Oh Sehun who did nothing but to ruin my day, would be jealous of Luhan?
