Luhan groaned as his alarm made a way too loud noise in his ears. He checked the time and decided it was a lot too early to wake up. Why was his alarm ringing at that time of the morning anyway? He usually had about 10 more minutes to sleep. And yes, 10 little minutes more to sleep is very much important in the mornings. He looked at the noisemaker – his cellphone – and saw a sentence he has probably written before going to bed: Stop groaning and get your lazy out of bed, you have a longer way to walk this morning! ^^

Wow, awake-Luhan was soooo nice to sleepy-Luhan! Sarcasm intended. But that thought pushed away, Luhan’s lips stretched in a grin and he got up with much more enthusiasm than he had 5 seconds ago. He went to the shower, and then went downstairs to the kitchen. He put some cereals in a bowl and poured some milk in it. He then sat at the kitchen, eating, and with eyes still too sleepy to be completely opened. He saw his little sister coming down the stairs and smiled at her, ‘’Good morning little princess!’’ His sister smiled happily and ran down the stairs as she waved joyfully at him, ‘’Good morning Oppa!!’’ Luhan could only shake his head, how can someone who just woke up be this enthusiastic? It was 20 minutes he was awake and he still couldn’t open his eyes completely… This must be youth. (hahaha Luhan, like you’re old, you’re still a cute baby!)

As the two siblings were eagerly eating their breakfast, Eunhee spoke, ‘’Oppa… When will Sehun oppa come back??? I want to play with him again! When you see him, tell him I have a new game for him!!’’ Luhan could only smile at his little sister, all childish jealousy from yesterday gone. He could totally understand what his sister was feeling right now, because he was just as eager as her to see Sehun again. Somehow, the expressionless boy was making Luhan’s days a lot less boring and a lot more fun! He really liked the other’s company and was enjoying his mission. Not because he wanted to seduce the other for other reasons than the bet, but making the other have some kind of reactions wasn’t only a success for his mission, it was also a personal success that made him happy without any thought of the bet… Guess Luhan was really appreciating a new friendship.

‘’I don’t know, but I promise it will be soon, ok? I can say that we’re friends now, and I think he likes you. You’re lucky, that guy doesn’t seem to like anyone!’’ Luhan sighed thinking about it and his sister chuckled, ‘’Are you jealous of me, Oppa~?’’ She asked almost innocently but with clear teasing in his voice. Was Luhan hallucinating or was he really being made fun of by a seven years old little girl?

‘’Pfff. You wish. He likes me more than you.’’ Luhan replied and Eunhee made a mock-offended expression, ‘’Pfff, whatever.’’ And she looked away.

Five seconds later the two siblings were laughing loudly; they were always like that these two.

‘’Have a nice day, princess! I’m going.’’ Luhan announced, getting up. He put on his jacket and put his key in his pocket. He went outside and started walking. He glanced at Sehun’s house as he walked in front of it and he smiled unconsciously. He kept on walking but took a different path than usual as he went up to a convenience store. He heard the tinkle of the bell when he opened the door. He smiled at the young man that was working and waved at him, it was Kris. He was an acquaintance slash friend. Let’s say they weren’t really friends but they were still better than acquaintance.

The tall guy waved back at him, keeping his face on and Luhan laughed. He laughed just there in front of Kris because his ‘ face’ really reminded him of Sehun’s poker face. Kris looked confused for a second but Luhan just shrugged, showing it wasn’t important. ‘’So, what are you doing here at this time in the morning?’’  Kris’ deep voice sounded and Luhan smiled, ‘’Just getting some gummy bears.’’

‘’We don’t have gummy bears.’’ Kris said and Luhan’s eyes got wider, ‘’What??! I got up earlier and have a longer path to walk for absolutely nothing?! But I need my gummy bears!!’’ Kris looked at him with amusement in his eyes and handed him a pack of gummy bears, ‘’I was just kidding but… Can I ask you why gummy bear are so important to you that you get up earlier? I know how much sleep is precious to you.’’ Kris said, still with that glint of amusement. Luhan smiled widely and started paying, ‘’Well it’s not for me actually... It’s to encourage a friend to get a good score on his exam! And he really likes gummy bears so…’’ Luhan’s smile grew wider and softer as he talked. Kris chuckled, ‘’Wow Luhan, I didn’t know you were that cute!’’ Luhan laughed, ‘’You think I’m cute? I didn’t even know you found some things cute. It’s not really obvious when you always keep that face.’’ And the thought made Luhan smile (wow he smiled a lot) as he thought that perhaps if face Kris found him cute, pokerface Sehun might think the same. ‘’Hey! Don’t insult my face okay! And you should know that actually I really like cute things… But don’t repeat that to anyone!’’ Luhan laughed, it was funny to imagine Kris in admiration toward aegyo or something.

Luhan looked up to the clock, ‘’Oh ! I have to go or I’ll be late to school! Bye Kris! Don’t worry, I’ll keep your secret.’’ He winked and went out the door hurriedly.

~~~~~~

Luhan found himself walking toward the dance studio during lunch time. He had went to the cafeteria before but found that Kai was still avoiding his friends and that Kyungsoo wasn’t at their usual table either, probably eating alone in a classroom or outside, avoiding Kai’s absence. Since it was only Baekhyun and Chanyeol at the table, he decided to go eat somewhere else, too, so he wouldn’t be the third wheel. The thing is, he was always eating at the cafeteria, and thus he didn’t really have any other place to eat. He thought about going to a classroom, but he didn’t like eating alone. He thought about going outside but he would be alone and cold. The only other place he could think of was the dance studio, where he could (if the other agreed) eat with Sehun. So here he was, walking toward the dance room.

At the door, he hesitated – he wasn’t sure if he should knock or enter. He finally decided that he didn’t need to knock; it was a public place anyway. Still, he turned the doorknob and pushed the door slowly and peeked inside. Sehun was there, just like Luhan hoped, and he was sitting on the floor, eating a sandwich. Luhan then pushed the door completely open, without a bit of discretion to be sure that his presence was known. A pair of brown eyes looked up at him and the older boy smiled. ‘’Hi! I- Can I eat here?’’ His voice was shy and his gaze was just the same. Sehun seemed unsure, ‘’Why?’’ Luhan smiled shyly, ‘’I don’t feel like eating with Baekyeol, I’ll be too much of a third wheel… And I thought it could be nice if I could eat in your company..?’’ He looked to the younger with big, hopeful eyes and Sehun’s hard expression seemed to soften a bit. ‘’Uhm… I usually like to eat alone… I don’t very much like people to watch me dance…’’ Sehun seemed to say these words uncertainly, reluctantly even. Luhan nodded slowly, ‘’Well… If I don’t talk too much and you won’t even realise I’m here? I swear I can be quiet sometimes! And I don’t think you should be uncomfortable to dance in front of someone, I’ve just seen a bit of it last time and I can tell you’re amazing!’’ Luhan’s cheeks were tinted with a soft pink as he recalled the last time he’d been here, that was when he said the sentence-that-should-never-be-repeated.

Sehun nodded, yet again unsure, ‘’Then.. I guess you can eat with me – and you don’t have to keep quiet if you don’t want to – and well thanks, but I don’t think I’m that good.’’

Luhan smiled widely, ‘’Thank you~~~!’’ He said in one of the cutest voices ever heard on Earth that would probably be able to make most human beings squeal at the cuteness. Sehun didn’t have much of a reaction though, a tiny lift upward of his lips, but that was all. Needless to say Luhan was pleased anyway.

The older of the two walked toward the other and sat beside him, getting his sandwich out of his lunchbox.

‘’Because she kinda insisted about it, I have to tell you… My sister is really impatient about when you will come back and she told me to tell you that she has a new game for you… Don’t ask me what it is, I think she decided she liked to play with you more than with me!’’ Luhan mocked an insulted expression and there it was again, that soft and pretty sound coming out of Sehun’s mouth, he chuckled. Luhan couldn’t help but to smile and he looked at Sehun, so he wouldn’t miss that beautiful moment when his emotionless expression turned to a more alive and pretty and handsome expression.

‘’Does she? Then tell her I’ll come play with her next time I can, if I have an invitation of course.’’ Luhan turned at him, surprised. Was Sehun asking for an invitation at his house? Or perhaps Luhan was just misunderstanding and Sehun was only mentioning that to say that he wouldn’t come at his house just like that? But maybe Sehun was asking for an invitation. Okay the question that should really be asked here is: why does Luhan care so much? Exactly, he should stop overthinking everything, that seemed to be an habit he had when he was with Sehun.

‘’You can come anytime you want, it’s not like it’s a long walk anyway.’’

Sehun hummed and a comfortable silence settled between the two. Luhan didn’t give it much time though, because a question came to his mind.
‘’Do you have any siblings? You seem to like children.’’

‘’Actually I have a sister but she’s a lot older than me and she doesn’t live at home anymore. But you’re right, I do like children and I would have liked to have a little sister or a little brother…’’ Luhan smiled. He was pretty sure that Sehun liked children, but hearing it from his mouth just seemed really cute to Luhan.

‘’Well now you can say you have a little sister if you want, cause my sister seem to like you a whole lot and I’m sure she would be happy that you become her big brother.’’ Sehun smiled. Really, he did. It wasn’t as brightly as the day before, but it wasn’t as tiny as usual; at least it was a smile.

‘’Are you jealous that she likes me more than you?’’ Sehun asked in a surprisingly teasing tone. And Luhan couldn’t help but to wonder if Eunhee and Sehun talked to each other or something because they both brought the same teasing sentence in the same freaking day! It was suspicious Luhan decided. Not that Luhan’s decisions could really mean something because as far as I know, he’s always pretty confused.

‘’No, I’m not! I’m just… nicely letting you have a little sister because you want one! How nice of me, right? Did you make devilish plans with my sister to tease me or what?’’ Luhan had to admit that even though he seemed really defensive, he liked Sehun teasing him. It was probably the first time Sehun talked about something not really necessary and just fun and it went on Luhan’s list of achievements in the ‘Oh Sehun Mission’.

‘’Yeah, right, I’m sure that it’s because you’re being nice that your sister likes me more than you’’ Sehun replied with sarcasm and Luhan probably widened his eyes, because damn, he didn’t think Teasing Sehun would say more than one sentence!. Sehun continued though, ‘’What do you mean? She started teasing you?’’

Well, I guess there weren’t any plans… But now Luhan has to explain that he’s being teased by a seven years old little girl! ‘’Er... yes? Well she kinda asked me the same thing you just asked me! She talked about you – because obviously she really likes you – and I told her you seemed to like her and it wasn’t so often that you actually seemed to like anyone… And she asked me if I was jealous of her!’’ Sehun chuckled again and wow, Luhan thought that he seemed to not even hide his chuckle anymore and Luhan was just so proud of himself although he didn’t know why.

‘’So your sister was teasing you, asking if you were jealous that I liked her more than I liked you… You’re aware that she’s like seven years old, right?’’ Sehun seemed to use all of his self-control so he wouldn’t start laughing at Luhan. The older groaned in a kind of ‘yes’ and ‘shut up’ mixed together.

‘’Then… Are you? Jealous of me liking your sister, I mean.’’ Luhan started blushing but he did the best he could to hide it. If the other wouldn’t have a teasing tone, he would probably had said ‘no!’ defensively, but the teasing tone was still in his voice so Luhan didn’t want to really answer. So he just said, ‘’Shut up.’’ And knowing what would come, he lifted his head just in time so he could see Sehun chuckle again. Luhan was seriously starting to think that this was becoming an addiction. Sehun’s chuckle was definitely addictive and it had some weird effects on Luhan. It’s just as if his heart grew warmer everytime he saw the expression on Sehun’s face. Luhan was definitely weird.

The pair finished eating and Sehun got up, stretched a little and then the music. He seemed really shy as he did so, and Luhan managed to get his eyes to land somewhere else than Sehun, aware that it was having a public that made him shy.

When the music started blasting through the speakers though, all shyness disappeared and Sehun started dancing, and wow Luhan’s jaw dropped. The younger boy was moving so skillfully to the rhythm, dancing so amazingly that Luhan didn’t manage to take back his jaw that had dropped now to the floor. Every pop of the chest and every wave of the body made Luhan’s eyes widen a little more and his mind was filled with no other thought than: ‘’God he is so amazing!’’ Luhan was definitely in awe. Then, he looked up to the guy’s face and he saw just how much the other liked what he was doing. There wasn’t a smile on his face, but the passionate concentration that was showing on his face was enough for Luhan. Luhan just kept on watching the whole time – it’s not like he was able to tear his eyes off Sehun anyway.

The song came to an end and Sehun stopped moving. His chest was heaving and his breathing was loud and he was covered in sweat from all the effort. Luhan could still only be in awe, this sight of Sehun was strangely very very attractive to him.

The playlist on Sehun’s iPod kept on playing though, and Female President by Girls Day started playing. Luhan couldn’t keep in his laughter and he started laughing like crazy. Sehun seemed pretty much embarrassed as he ran to his iPod to change the song playing. Luhan was still laughing because Sehun just didn’t seem like someone who would listen to that – actually he didn’t really seem like someone who would listen to girl groups songs as a whole - and… oh my god now Luhan is picturing Sehun dancing to this song. Wouldn’t it be amazing and at the same time hilarious? Hell yeah. And holy , Sehun shaking his gorgeous would be too AWESOME much for Luhan to handle! Did Luhan want to see this someday in his life? Hell yeah.

Sehun was still awkwardly standing there, scratching the back of his head, ‘’Hum.. I’m not listening to that ok… It just.. happened to be in my iPod.’’ He was awfully embarrassed and Luhan couldn’t do anything else than think it was simply adorable.
 ‘’And I guess it was in your ‘Dance’ playlist, right?’’ Luhan was clearly teasing and he wasn’t sure if it was a trick of the light, but Sehun’s cheeks seemed to become red.

‘’Maybe okay. But just maybe. Now let’s just forget that.’’ Luhan chuckled, ‘’Oh you think so? I think that you should dance on it since it’s in the playlist made especially for this.’’

‘’No freaking way. There’s a possibility of 0% that you’re gonna see me dance on a girls group song someday.’’ Sehun was definitely not okay with the idea… It didn’t disappoint Luhan one bit though as he added with a smirk, ‘’Is that a challenge? Because I love challenges. And I can guarantee you that I’ll see you dance on that song someday.’’ That was definitely confident and stubborn Luhan talking, and you should never contradict this Luhan.

Sehun didn’t say anything and just decided on another song to play and he started dancing again, probably to get rid of the awkward atmosphere he only was feeling.

~~~~~~~

As Luhan entered the Math classroom, he let his eyes roam through the entire room in search for Sehun. But unfortunately, the guy wasn’t in class yet. Luhan tried to hide his disappointment as he went to sit beside Kyungsoo who was sitting unusually far from Kai. Luhan gave his friend a comforting smile and his friend smiled back, though with a hint of sadness.

Luhan was watching the door impatiently, waiting for Sehun to enter. The boy finally did and just as the blond haired guy was opening his mouth to say something, the bell rang and his words got stuck in his throat when he saw the teacher glaring at him.

The teacher started giving the exam sheets and Luhan decided to use this time to throw a gummy bear at the back of Sehun’s head (the guy was sitting in front of him, like usual). Successfully gaining his attention as Sehun turned around at him. Luhan held up a bag of gummy bears with a post-it on it, where it was written with Luhan’s pretty handwriting: You win ten gummy bears with each question! I know you can do this! Fighting~~~ ! :)

Luhan mouthed the last word written and held up his fist in encouragement. Sehun smiled – he really did! – but only for a millisecond as he did his best to hide it. He turned around to face the front of the classroom, not without mouthing a ‘thanks’ to Luhan. The older boy couldn’t do anything but smile. He truly thought Sehun would do good on his exam.

~~~~~~

The bell rang, announcing it was finally the weekend, and every student almost ran out of the classroom, impatient to get to whatever place they were going on a Friday night. Luhan was probably the only one who wasn’t hurrying; he was even walking normally (okay, really slowly) through the hallways. Actually, he was waiting for Sehun to get out of the Math classroom.

Finally, the younger boy did and Luhan went immediately to him. ‘’Hey! How did it go?’’

‘’Really well… I think. It was an easy one.’’

Luhan grinned, ‘’It wasn’t an easy one, it was harder than the last one! It’s just because you’re understanding better.’’

‘’Really??’’ Sehun’s face didn’t show any emotion but his voice was clearly conveying surprise and hope. Luhan nodded, grinning even wider. He then held up the bag of gummy bears and saw Sehun’s eyes lit up. Luhan chuckled at his cuteness (What? Wasn’t it Luhan who’s supposed to be cute?!)

‘’There were eight questions, right? So I guess you get 80 gummy bears! That’s a whole lot, don’t eat it all at once or you’re gonna get sick!’’

Sehun looked at him, ‘’But… aren’t you supposed to give it to me only when I get my results? You don’t even know if I got them right.’’

‘’Don’t worry, I’m sure you got them right. And even if you made some mistakes, you totally deserve your gummy bears for your hard work!’’ Now Sehun looked at Luhan with a glint in his eyes, perhaps it was hope, or appreciation, or gratefulness or perhaps it was something else. But something was sure, Luhan was totally happy with it.

Luhan was definitely enjoying being in Sehun’s company, and he could even hope the other felt the same.
