Bright colors spilled in from the high windows of the practice room, casting shadows of the panes of the windows against the light hardwood that covered the floor. A wall of mirrors reflected the light making the room seem brighter than it actually was.

"Good job today boys, see you tomorrow" EXO’s manager tapped his phone on his leg while he looked at all of the tired heads nod in agreement. Slowly all of the members got onto their feet and bowed to their manager before he opened the door and walked through.

Swinging the door shut, the sound of the door settling into the door frame echoed in the room for just a moment as the guys moved to their bags scattered along the perimeter of the room. Luhan picked up his back and checked his phone for any message, seeing your face as his background picture, he smiled and pet your hair with his thumb before he looked up in the right hand corner to see the time.

Finding how late it actually was, he figured out that if he left now, that he could make it to your place before the manager took roll and put everyone to bed. Pulling his soaked t shirt form over his head, he replaced it with a fresh white t shirt and pulled a simple dark denim jacket over it. Pulling his bag over his shoulder, he headed over to the floor to ceiling mirrors.

Trotting over then stopping suddenly in front of them, his eyes were fixated on his own hair while s giggled and pushed each other playfully in the background. The tips of his fingers brushing over his bangs and making sure that every strand of hair was perfect. Hearing the laughter get louder and more and more members gathering around the small group, his eyes shifted to their reflection.

Most of their eyes were on him as he turned around to face them.

"Did you really just change your outfit to go outside?" Kris questioned while Luhan’s eyes dropped, the toes of his shoes sliding over the wood floor under him.

"So girly" Tao chuckled under his breath

"Maybe he is meeting someone!" Lay happily proposed causing Luhan to snap his head up and his eyes to widen, everyone’s eyes were suddenly on him as he bit his lip and shook his head.

"Only girls would dress up to go outside, unless you were really meeting someone." Chen reasoned

"Are you calling me a girl?" Luhan probed, his eyes scanning the faces of s while the members avoided eye contact with him confirming his suspicions.

"What to you guys know? You don’t even have a girlfriend!" Luhan defended heatedly.

"Woah, you don’t have one either Ace" Kris leaned over his knees

"I do, and _____ actually likes me for who I am and she loves it when I dress up for her!" Luhan spat in rage, knowing that you wouldn’t like this.

”______? Is she a fan?” Xiumin questioned

"I know she is a fan of mine" Luhan played with the strap that hung over his shoulder.

"So is ____ okay with dating a girl?" Tao teased

"She is my girlfriend okay, and I love her and she loves me just the way I am." Luhan couldn’t take anymore and ran out of the practice room.

Pulling the bag’s strap over his head, he ran down the hall and out the front doors. His legs pounding like pistons as he dodged the sidewalk traffic while tears started to coat over his eyes. Gritting his teeth together, he ran harder and faster, his arms swinging back and forth while he ran to the one place where he could be safe.

Skipping stairs, he bounded up the flight of stairs before he stood on your doorstep, his heart pounding, his lungs burning and his legs quivering from all the running. Pushing your door bell, he heard it sound through the door as he tried to catch his breath while fixing his hair for you.

Your footsteps came closer to the door and fumbled with the locks while Luhan bit on his bottom lip and tried to hold back his tears until you opened the door.

"Lu Lu? Are you okay?" You questioned noticing his chest rising and falling sharply, the soft glistening of sweat on his skin while the veins in his arm pushed against his skin.

”______, may I come in?” Luhan questioned quietly, trying not to have his voice crack.

"Of course" You opened the door wider as he slowly made his way inside, lifting the bag from over his shoulder, he set it on the ground while you closed the door behind him.

Before you could ask him something, you turned around and he wrapped you up in his arms, holding you tightly against him.

"Did you have a bad day?" You whispered, turning your head against his shoulder while you wrapped your arms around him and rubbed his back gently.

"The members don’t like me, they think I am girly" He whined, as you felt his breath shake a little, warm tears were felt against your neck.

"I am sure that they still love you, they are just jealous that they aren’t as handsome as you are" You told him quietly, his hands moved up your back and played with the ends of your hair, like a little child.

"But they didn’t believe me when I told them about you" Luhan choked out through his tears, while he just held you tighter.

Your body tensed and froze, knowing that neither of you had told anyone up until now and you both agreed on keeping it a secret.

"What did they say?" You just focused on him, wanting to help him to the best of your abilities.

"They threatened me that I didn’t have a girlfriend and I told them that I did and they didn’t believe me and I told them about you and that it you love me and I love you. I know that you didn’t want me to tell anyone, and that we have kept is a secret, but I’m so sorry it was just in the heat of the moment." He held you tighter against him, his head moving into the crook of his neck as his warm breath moved over your exposed skin. "Don’t leave me" He whispered

"I’m not going to leave you, and I am glad that you stood up for yourself and you are right. I love you so much and it doesn’t matter what they think." You rand your fingers through his hair, knowing how to calm him down.

Sitting on the couch together, Luhan’s head rested on your shoulder as his hand laid on your thigh, while his thumb gently moved against the fabric of your pants. Your fingers played with his hair, his body slowly relaxing against yours.

"I am really sorry, I didn’t mean to" Luhan apologized for the hundredth time.

"It is okay Lu Lu, I don’t blame you, I would have told them too" You pressed your lips on the crown of his head before you heard a knock on your front door.

"Wait here a moment, please" You whispered, feeling his head nod against your shoulder he slowly sat up before you leaned in and kissed his forehead softly.

Getting to your feet, you trotted over to the door and stood on your toes to see through the peek hole in the door. Unlocking the door, you opened it a little to see s standing there all worried with their heads hung low.

"H-Hello, ________. Is Luhan here?" Xiumin questioned you.

"What if he is?" You questioned, not knowing what they were going to do.

"We just really wanted to apologize…" Chen confessed

"But we wanted to see if you really existed too" Kris added, rubbing the back of his neck.

Turning your head, you looked over at Luhan turned around on the couch, looking at you. Waiting for his answer, Luhan nodded his head as you pulled the door open a little wider.

"Thank you" They all said, passing through the door and taking off their shoes before heading over to where Luhan was sitting.

"We are really sorry, we shouldn’t have been that mean to you." Lay took the first step as Luhan just nodded.

"Sorry for not taking you seriously when you said that you had a girlfriend" Tao rubbed the back of his neck as he glanced over at you, who stood away from the group.

"Thanks for coming over and apologizing" Luhan stood up and turned towards you, extending his hand out, you walked a few steps as you linked hands with him.

"As long as we are all here, I am sure you want to meet the guys" Luhan smiled at you and brought you closer to him as he pointed to each member and told you their name and a few facts about them.

After everyone was introduced, all of you happily talked and laughed together for a while, before the manager started messaging everyone out of worry.

"We better go, jagiya" Luhan leans over and squeezes your hand while the members stand up and try in find their pair of shoes.

"Oh, okay. Thank you for coming by guys and it was really nice to meet you" You smiled and bowed to all of them as they bowed and waved back.

Filing out of your home, you looked over at Luhan who was putting on his shoes.

"See you tomorrow?" You questioned running your fingers through his hair. Looking up at you, he stood up tall and smiled at you before running his fingers through your hair.

"See you tomorrow, love" He leaned in and kissed your lips softly. "Thank you for everything." Letting his eyes slowly take in your perfect face, he smiled and bit his lip gently. "I love you"

"I love you too" Leaning in for one more kiss, you held onto his lips a little longer before the honk of the horn caused both of you to pull away.

"Have fun okay?" You smiled and rubbed his shoulder as you walked him to the door.

"I will, you have fun too" He smiled before he heard another honk and waved at you, flashing you his perfect smile before he pulled the van’s door open. However he stopped and looked back at you and kissed his hand and gently blew it to you. Catching it and blowing him one back, you smiled and watched the jet black van pull away before you couldn’t hide your smile any longer.

There is nothing that love can’t fix
