“How are you coping Luhan?” I heard your voice and I stiffened immediately.

“Jeez, relax. I don’t bite.” You joked. I still refused to look at you.

“Luhan, look at me.” I felt you place your hand on my cheek. Afraid that you might end up slapping me, I reluctantly look up and instantly met your eyes.

“Remember when I told you that you can come to me when you need anything?” I pressed on, I nodded. “I mean it Luhan.” You finished with a smile.

Looking in your eyes, I instantly felt comfortable. There’s something about your eyes Minseok that immediately draws me into you. It’s very mysterious yet open at the same time. It’s enchanting. You have no idea how attractive your eyes are Minseok. You say that I have the best eyes but in my opinion, it’s yours that is most attractive. Your eyes that speaks the truth. Each time I look deep into yours, I would always be reminded of the years we spent together as trainees. How your eyes would always sparkle each time you’d smile at me. It made me fall in love with you even more.

I groaned as I literally fell to the floor, exhausted and drained. No matter how many times I’ve tried, I just couldn’t get the choreography right. I sighed in frustration as I ran a hand through my hair.

“You okay Lu?” You asked as you caressed my hair.

“I’m useless.” I couldn’t help but grumble.

You let out a sigh as you wrapped your arm around me. “Don’t say that Lulu.” You mumbled, pouting.

“I’m not as good a singer as Jongdae, not as good a dancer as Yixing, not as good-looking as Yifan, not as strong as you and I can’t do martial arts like Zitao. What exactly can I contribute to the group?” I couldn’t help but think.

“Well.” You turned me around so that I face you. “First of all I met you.”

I could feel my cheeks heat up at your words.

“Second, you add to the popularity of the group.”

I couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle at that. “That’s true. With all the different people in our group, the fans get to chose who they like best.”

“And third.” You lifted my chin up, your eyes meeting mine and staring at them intently. “You have more talent than any of us Lulu. You might not sing like Jongdae, or dance as good as Yixing, or as handsome as Kris, but you have all of them. You have so much potential in you Luhan. Never forget that.” You finished as you stared deep into my eyes.

I reached forward and wrapped my arms around you, burying my face against your chest.

“Thank you Minseok.” I smiled as I met your eyes once again.

Every time I would look into your eyes, it would never fail to make me fall over and over again. Sometimes I would wonder what it would be like to see the world in your eyes. To see the goodness in every person; to see the beauty in everything; to not look at a person’s weaknesses and shortcomings but to look at their strengths and capabilities. Can you teach me Minseok?
