Chapter 25 - A Wish Upon A Star
My bothersome life with Lu HanJaerin and Sehun went around in search for the rest of EXO. Deep inside, Sehun didn't want to because he wanted to be alone with Jaerin. At the same time, he was mentally scolding himself for doing this. He knew Luhan would be upset but he gave the slightest care of what he would think.
He's in China anyway.
Sehun smiled and pulled Jaerin towards the fountain which had couples sitting nearby. Jaerin raised an eyebrow at Sehun's sudden action.
"I'll get us something to eat. Wait here, Cinderella?" Sehun winked and headed to ran towards the food booth.
Limit to their knowing, Jaerin and Sehun were being followed by the rest of EXO, secretly that is. They all hid behind their own trees and watched intently at the two younger ones.
"Why are we doing this again?" Chen groaned due to boredom.
"Well, we promised Luhan and Sehun something, right?" Kris shrugged.
"We promised Luhan to keep Jaerin safe while he was away." Suho smiled calmly.
"And we promised Sehun to keep this a secret." Baekhyun sighed.
"Why do I feel guilty then if we're keeping our promises?" Lay placed a hand over his chest. "It feels like we're helping our friends in the weirdest way possible."
"Sehun said that this was only for tonight." Tao tried to defend his fellow maknae.
"This is different though... It feels right to help Sehun but feels wrong to betray Luhan." Kyungsoo frowned.
"Sehun promised. We should trust him to keep that." Kris said sternly which caused an awkward silence among them.
"Luhan wants us to protect her...but from what? Sehun?" Kai joked but everybody glared at him.
"I don't know what made Sehun think that this would be a great idea." Baekhyun sighed heavily.
"He wanted to let go earlier...rather than get hurt later." Kris replied coldly.
It all earned their silence and they averted their eyes towards the young duo. They were eating rice boxes with different toppings which were chosen by Sehun. Sehun would steal glances at Jaerin and could not believe the work that Baekhyun did for the sake of this night. Sehun smiled and suddenly poked the younger one's cheek.
"We should go out and check our tent." Sehun stood up and offered an arm but Jaerin refused which garnered a frown on his face.
"I doubt she'd cheat too." Kris started. "He loves Luhan too much to let someone even hold her hand." Kris chuckled softly.
"Let's just hope for the best." Suho smiled at everyone.

It did not take long until the two reached the campsite. Students from different year levels also started to unpack their things inside the tent. Some where gathering logs for the campfire that would serve as the warmth to caress them in the cold evening. Sehun ped the tent and Jaerin was the first to enter, Sehun followed behind her.
