Of Americanos and Ex-Boyfriends

Of Americanos and Ex-Boyfriends

Droplets of rain were heard as they pit-a-pat against the recently cleaned glass windows, combined with the turning of pages of the books. The sight of scattered books and cups of coffee welcomed Luhan once he entered his dorm. He saw his bestfriend, Jongin, sitting on the floor cross-legged, writing stuff on a white bond paper. The exams were coming up so they were both cramming. Luhan slips off his shoes and coat leaving them on the welcome mat in front of the door. He grabs a book from his shelf and sits on the floor right beside Jongin.

"Stop that. I can't concentrate on my homework." Jongin says, releasing a grunt.

"Stop what?" Luhan asks.

"That." Jongin looks at Luhan's hand sternly.

Luhan realizes he has been tapping the hardwood floor for quite a long time.

"Oh, that. Sorry. I didn't know." Luhan puts his hands on top of the book he's been trying to read, he then fiddled his fingers against the crisp pages of the book, making disturbing noises.

"Something's bothering you lately, I can tell." Jongin says abruptly.

"Huh?" Luhan raises an eyebrow.

"You can't keep your hands still. It means you're nervous."

Luhan stops fiddling his fingers, he his chapped lips, giving it moisture.

"You know this guy we always see at the library? Well, he's gorgeous." Luhan says fast, slurring his words.

Jongin releases a stiff laugh, "Go for him. You got his number?"

Luhan gives off a smug smile, "Well, you're talking at the Luhan. So, of course, yes."

Jongin nudged Luhan's shoulders, "What's his name?"

"Minseok," Luhan smirks, fishing his cellphone from his pocket, "and you know what, Im asking him out."

Jongin laughs eventually, "What are you telling him? 'Hey I have this math test coming up, let's meet at the library.'?" Jongin tried to stop laughing, "And it'll end up with him teaching you all of your lessonsm and when you're going to make your move, he gets mad and he'll storm out of the library? Oh, oh! And the funny thing is that it already happened." Jongin laughs too loud.

"Oh no you didn't." Luhan slaps Jongin's arm, "First thing, Joonmyeon was not mad. He was shocked. Second thing, he tried contacting me after, I didn't even bother answering his texts. Third thing is, Minseok's not like Joonmyeon."

"How sure are 'ya?" Jongin raised his eyebrows, testing Luhan.

"Just. Hey, just help me okay? What kind of a friend are you.." Luhan glared at Jongin jokingly, "Hm, maybe a movie date?"

"That sounds nice. You know why? Because the last time you had a serious date, with that Sehun guy, you went out for a movie and it actually turned out well. Not until you said you were straight." Jongin says, laughing midway through the sentence.

"That was two years ago! I was confused!" Luhan waves his hands in the air.

"You should've dated him, to be honest. Well, i would have if I were you." Jongin says.

"I told you many times, I would have, too. But he changed his number and he flew to Japan. Let's not get into this again, okay? I think coffee sounds good, don't you think?"

"That's fine. Go, text him. I'm going to continue doing my homework." Jongin shook his head.
 

          'You free today? It's Luhan, btw. ;)"


He typed in his cellphone, he looked at it for a mere ten seconds, "Jongin is this okay?" he says, not taking his eyes off his phone.

"Let me see," Jongin says, Luhan shoves the phone in front of Jongin's face, he grabs it and reads it, "Seriously, Luhan? A winking emoticon? That looks so... suggestive."

"Maybe I want it to be suggestive?" Luhan wriggled his eyebrows.

Jongin slides the phone back to Luhan, rolling his eyes in the process.

It took less than a minute before he received a reply from Minseok.


        'it's ur lucky day! i am haha (^_^)'


Luhan let out a giggle, Jongin gives him a weird look. He clears his throat, giving him glares. Luhan propped his elbow on the table, while his cellphone rested on the palm of his hands. He typed in,


        'Perhaps coffee sounds good to you? :)'
 

        'i'm supposed to go to the coffee shop just now, come w/ me??'


Luhan's eyes lit, 'Sure, sure. See you in 15? At the coffee shop in front of the boys' dorm? ;)'

He realizes he typed a wink again, so he deletes the text and changes it to a ':)'.

 

        'im bringing a friend tho, if it's ok? (o^^o)'


"." Luhan says, his jaw dropping.

"Why?" Jongin asks curiously.

"He's bringing a friend. Does he think that this is just a friendly date?" Jongin gave an apologetic smile.

Luhan sighs, "I guess it's not my lucky day after all."

"I pity you." Jongin says, Luhan glares at him, "Shut up.


His phone vibrates again, revealing a text from Minseok, 'luhan? u there?'

Luhan typed in, 'Totes.'

"Be back later. Finish your homework." Luhan pats his back, Jongin nodded in response.


Luhan grabbed his blue oversized pull-over and sneakers, wearing them while so.

"Seriously? You're wearing that for a date?" Jongin questions.

"It's not a date, he's bringing someone. It's a friendly hang-out." Luhan said bitterly.

Jongin chuckles at his childishness. Even though he had tons of dates, he was still not professional.


Luhan walked out ogf the dorm building. The cloudy skies welcoming his gloomy self, it was almost summer in Seoul, usually people would be holding snowcones or patbingsus but today, people were holding umbrellas because it was just damn rainy.
 

But as usual, the streets were busy. The air was chilly, water dripped from the roofs, and the pavements were slippery because of the rain. Good thing the rain just stopped now.
 

He looked at the time, he still has ten minutes to spare. Well, he lived in front of the cafe, basically. So there was no worry of being late. Luhan slips his hands inside his jeans pocket, letting out a huff. It was a first in many years he fell in love at first sight, so, he was really nervous. He looked at his reflection in the car's dark tinted window, fixing his hair that was out of place.
 

"I probably should just go there now, there's nothing wrong with being early." Luhan muttered. He crosses the street looking left to right for any signs of Minseok. he doesn't sees him so he decides to go inside the cafe.
 

It was packed with students of different levels, the atmosphere was a bit stuffy and voices could be heard everywhere. But it was unusually comforting somehow. He tries to find a seat, but luck doesn't really favor him this day so he doesn't find one yet. He glared at the people who sat there even though they finished drinking.


After minutes of waiting, he finds a sit. He slams his hands against the wooden table, not because of anger but because of relief. He realized that he was tapping the table again, so he stops. But after a second or two, he starts biting his nails. Luhan let out an annoyed grunt and balled his fist. After a few more minutes, he spots two heads popping out in the crowd, maybe because Minseok has light pink hair, maybe because his friend has dark red.


Luhan s his hands up, signaling them to go where he was sitting. Minseok eventually finds him despite the large crowd.


"Hey," Minseok says while taking a seat, "wassup?"

"Nothing much, today was a bi--" Luhan was cut off by a voice he was familiar of, "Ehem,"

"Oh! This is my friend," Minseok abruptly stands up, "Sehun. Sehun meet Luhan."

"Say what?" Luhan says, he covers his mouth, realizing that he just said his thought out loud.

"I mean, nice to meet you Se--" He looks up, finding a smirking boy right beside Minseok, Luhan coughs, "hun. Sorry, must've caught a fly." He took a swig of mineral water from his glass, and clears his throat.


Minseok noticed the beads of swear that was dripping off Luhan's forehead. "Luhan, are you okay? You seem a bit.. sweaty. Nothing wrong of course, it's just that it's quite cold today, you know what I mean." Minseok fishes for his handkerchief, reaching for Luhan's forehead.

"Ah-ow! Ow!" Luhan grabs hold of his head, "My head hurts, ow." He hears Sehun laughing, he looks up and meets with Minseok giving him a weird look. He puts down his hands, "Sorry just having colds because of the sudden rain, nothing serious." He rubs the back of his head.

"Well, I should go order then. I guess Luhan doesn't feel too good to order. What do you want?" Minseok asks.

"A large Americano please." Luhan gives him a smile.

"I'll take that too." Sehun says, giving off a smug look to Luhan.

"Okay then. You two... get acquainted." Minseok goes to the end of the line, which was really long.

Luhan nodded, giving assurance to Minseok. Sehun did the same.


"So, I'm Luhan! Nice to me--"

"Shut it." Sehun said with a stern look.

"Um, excuse me?" Luhan says, cheekily.

"Don't sass me." Sehun raises an eyebrow, "Hi, Mr. Ruler." Sehun laughs at his own joke, maybe a bit too much.

"Okay, that was a bit corny. What are you doing here?" Luhan asks.

"What are you doing here?" Sehun asks, raising his voice.

"Well if it can't get anymore obvious, what I am trying to do is I'm tring to make a move on your friend." Luhan said, with his chin up.

"Or do you mean his friend?" Sehun laughs again.

"Oh no, you did not! For your information, I did not know you were going to be here. Him bringing his friend wasn't even in my plan. For goodness sake." Luhan releases a loud sigh while he rolled his shoulders.

Sehun gives him a 'oh really?' look. Luhan continues, "And you were supposed to be in Japan! Why the hell are you back? Maybe it rained because you came back."

"Aww, Hannie." Sehun pats Luhan's head, causing him to dodge and eventually hit his head on the glass of the windows, "Not to bitter, shall we?"

Luhan glares at Sehun, "You better not ruin this date or else I'll send you off to Japan."

"Pft. How can you? And no, I will not ruin this date. I might even make this date even better." He winks, sending electric waves through Luhan's body. Not good electric waves, but bad ones.

"Oh my god, go away Oh Sehun!" Luhan looked like he was going to puke, he waved his hands in the air, making unreadable gestures. He slams his hands on the table, making the glass of water almost topple over.

Sehun smirks, he made his fingers walk like those of humans, and landed his palms just right so that the tip of his middle finger brush against Luhan's. He gasps, "Oh did I just do that? Sorry." He s back his arms slowly, just enough to tease Luhan.

"I know you want me." Sehun says, his face giving off too much confidence.

"How do you know that I want you, huh?" Luhan says, drawing circles on the table with his hands.

Sehun squirmed in his seat, finding a comfortable angle. When he does, he made sure he locks eyes with Luhan. Luhan tried to look away, maybe looking at the couple fighting behind Sehun, but he couldn't. His gaze was just on Sehun. He didn't know if this is hypnotizing or such, but at that moment he knew he couldn't take his eyes off him.

"The way you said it, it was very... vague." Sehun says.

"I was confused back then, I didn't know what to do." Luhan says, giving in.

Sehun nodded in agreement, "I knew, the moment you tried to call my cell again, you wanted me. Oh, I mean, you wanted me badly."

Luhan closes his eyes, taking a deep breath, "Yes that's true. And in fact, I might not be over you until now?"

"Is that even a question?" Sehun says, rolling his eyes, "I came back from Japan, two days ago."

"Are you guys.. a thing?" Luhan asks, his eyebrows scrunching in confusion, "Not that I mind, of course!" He added, shaking his head.

"We're human." Sehun says, laughing again. He clears his throat, "No, not at all."

"So it's okay if I make a move on him?" Luhan asks, propping his elbows on the windowsill.

"Oh, that's fine I guess. But you know what's more fine? It's that you can make a move on his friend too! Ha!" Sehun says, clutching his stomach. He pretends to laugh, maybe a bit too obvious.

Luhan gazed at Minseok, seeing that there were still three guys before him made him comfortable. He didn't know why, maybe it's because he could spend more time with Sehun.

"What if I want the latter?" Luhan said, inching closer. He laid his palms against the back of Sehun's hands.

Sehun's lips turned to an 'o'. He grabbed the opportunity to flip his hands, making their palms face each other. "Forget about Minseok, be with me." He was straight forward. It was one thing Luhan liked about Sehun.

"Not a problem." Luhan said, he leaned in closer planting a kiss on Sehun's delicate lips. He missed the feeling of it, and he swore it felt much better than the last time.

Luhan felt Sehun's smile, he broke the contact and cleared his throat, remembering that they were in a public place and Minseok was just a few feet away from them.

"But really, why did you leave Japan? Why did you come back here?" Luhan inquired.

"You wanna know why? It's because, watashi wa anata o torimodoai, and, anata ga inaito sabishii desu."

"I don't have a ing idea what that means, but, I love you too." Luhan says, leaving a peck on Sehun's cheek. They stare at each other for a few seconds until the silence was cut off by Minseok's voice.


"Hey guess what? There's this promo, when you buy three Americanos, you get one free. Who wants it?" Minseok asks.

"Can I have it? I love Americano." Luhan says, receiving the cup of coffee.

"I guess you guys know each other know, huh?" Minseok asks.

"Oh yes we do." They said in chorus.

--

Luhan arrived in the dorm, kicking off his sneakers. He finds Jongin lying on the floor while reading a book. He slides beside Jongin and heaved out a sigh.

"How was it, hyung?" Jongin looks at Luhan curiously.

"Well let's just say it consisted of an extra cup of Americano and possibly rekindling a relationship with one of my ex-boyfriends."
