Chapter 27

Fragile Eternity

  In the morning, as usual Xiumin woke up early and found out that Lara was still fast asleep beside him.

  He her cheeks and patted her head slowly.

  Then he got out to take a shower. When he done, he returned to Lara’s bedroom. Lara was still sleeping. Xiumin went to her bed and intended to wake her but then captivated by her sleeping face.

  ‘Her sleeping face is calming me down.’ he thought to himself.

  He then laid down next to her and held Lara’s hand. He kissed Lara’s hand and put it on his cheeks like he treasured it so much.

  Feeling a movement around her, Lara slowly opened her eyes and woke up from her sleep.        

  “Hey...” said Xiumin while smiling and showing his dumpling-like cheeks.

  “Hey...” Lara smiled automatically and wanted to pinch those cheeks.

  “Did you sleep well?” asked Xiumin.

  “Yeah, thanks for accompany me last night.”

  “No problem.”

  “Lara, you should wake up now or you’ll be late for school.” Xiumin said again.

  “Just one more minute...I still feel sleepy.” whined Lara while moving closer to Xiumin and hug him.

  “You’ve had shower? You’re so neat.” thought Lara.

  “Yeah, it’s kinda my habit..”

  “I feel like I wanted to hug you forever.” said Lara again.

  “You can hug me forever...” responded Xiumin accepting Lara’s wish.

  But minutes later, "Lara I think 5 minutes has already passed.” reminded Xiumin.        

  “Alright, alright. I will wake up.” Lara said.

  Just when Xiumin was about to get out of Lara’s room, Lara shouted to Xiumin.

  “Xiumin! Piggyback...” asked Lara while pouting her lips.

  He couldn’t helped but smiled hearing Lara’s request. He then piggybacked Lara to the bathroom.


  That day as usual they were busy with their morning activities and prepared to go to school. They didn’t have much time and they had to eat breakfast quickly.

  Then they rushed to go to school. This time, Tao and Kai held both Lara’s arms. When they walked towards the large road from the forest path, Sehun who walked at the back realized that someone seemed watching them, but when he looked back, no one there. Sehun became cautious and told Luhan about it. Then Luhan telepathically forwarding it to all of the boys except Lara. They didn’t want to worry her.

  After a few more minutes, they arrived at school. Tao, Kai and Sehun then went to their separate class apart from Lara and the others on the first floor. Kai waited in front of his classroom door and watched Lara until she disappeared in the corner. Just then he briefly saw someone watched over them. But when he checked, no one there. Kai then approached Tao and Sehun, discussing about it.

  Next one were D.O, Chanyeol and Baekhyun. They went to their class. D.O then noticed one of the student that he never saw before, but when he wanted to check his face he was already vanished.

  Lara, Chen, Lay, Suho, Kris, Luhan and Xiumin then arrived at their class. Even though they were in the same class, Chen was the only one who sit next to Lara. That day, they asked for their classmates to switch their sit so they could be around Lara.

With a nice attitude and their charms, no one was able to decline their request.

  First lessons was Math, continue with History and Physical Exercise.

  At Physical Exercise, girl students were doing gymnastics while the boys were doing hurdles. There were some kind of assesment at that time, Lara and Luhan were the first to finish their assesment. Luhan decided to go to Basketball field and played basketball.

  Lara who felt bored at that time, saw Luhan who was playing basketball by himself. Then she saw him repeatedly doing the three-point-shoot from where he was standing.

  ‘Woah, he’s good...’ shouted Lara in her mind while paying her attention to Luhan.

  A moment later a voice can be heard in her mind, ‘Thank you for the compliment.’

  She startled but then turned to look at Luhan and Luhan was smiling towards her direction.

  ‘Did you just read my mind?’ asked her to Luhan.      

  ‘Yes, sorry Princess. You looked bored, unconsiously I read your mind. I didn’t expect that you were paying attention to me playing basketball. I somehow..feeling shy.’ he said mischievously.

  ‘What are you saying.’ Lara responded and she could felt herself blushing.

  ‘Hey, can I go there? I’m so bored, I’ve got no activity to do.’ said Lara again to Luhan.

  ‘Oh yeah, sure. Do you want me to teach you how to play basketball?’ offered Luhan.

  ‘Yeah, that’s a good idea.’ the she walked towards Luhan.

  “This is called dribble...” explained Luhan while bouncing the basketball repeatedly up and down.

  ‘How does he know such terms of basketball? It hasn’t even been long enough since he came to earth.’ Lara thought curiously.

  ‘Well, I’ve watched some television program about this sport and got interested in it.’ answered Luhan unconsciously.

  ‘Okay, then. I want to try it. Give the ball to me.’ said Lara through telepathy.

  ‘Fine, here...’ replied Luhan.

  Lara then tried to dribble the basketball and succeded.

  ‘Okay, then what’s next?’ asked Lara.

  ‘You have to watch and keep the ball so it won’t get stollen from your opponent.’ explained Luhan.

  ‘Alright, come and try to steal the ball from me. I’ll try to block you.’ said Lara.

  Luhan tried from various directions to take the ball from Lara. Lara tried her best to block him but because Luhan was faster, he succeded taking the ball from her.           

  ‘Then, after you succed taking the ball from your opponent, run to the ring while still dribbling you ball and—SHOOT—shoot the ball towards the ring.’ said Luhan, continue to explain how to play basketball while showing it to Lara.

  Luhan then took the ball that was put into the ring and said, ‘Come, try to take this ball from me now.’

  Lara tried to take the ball away from Luhan and blocked him to get another score but because Luhan was faster, it was hard for Lara to take the ball from him.

  She then tried to tickle Luhan so she could took the ball away, because it was nearly impossible to take the ball from Luhan. Luhan felt ticklish and went unsteady, giving Lara chance to take the ball and she succeded taking it towards the ring. She jumped, and—SHOOT—the ball went into the ring. Lara shouted happily because she succeded in getting a score. Then she prepared to face Luhan again and to block him from taking the ball. This time was Luhan’s turn to tickle Lara. Lara wiggled and the ball fell from her hand. Lara swayed towards Luhan, feeling ticklish but Luhan catched her and hugged her while still tickling her.  

  Both of them weren’t realized, the ball that fallen from Lara’s grip bounced quite hard eventhough it was supposed to bounce slowly as if someone controlled it. The ball bounced towards the pole and headed to Lara’s head. Luckily, Luhan saw the ball coming straight to Lara’s head and readily control the ball with his telekinesis power. He then hurriedly let the ball bounced back into the floor and hoped that no one got suspicious of it.

  He then curiously and as fast as possible trying to search the whereabout of the person who controlled the ball, but he didn’t see anyone.

  Seeing sudden change of expression in Luhan’s face, Lara stopped laughing, “What’s wrong?” asked Lara. Breaking the silence because they were talking telepathically before.

  “Oh, nothing. I guess it’s enough about basketball for today. I sense you will tickle me all the time and blocked me to take the ball.” said Luhan with a force laugh.

  “Come, let’s sit over there and wait. The teacher maybe had done the assesment of all the students.” he said again without waiting for Lara’s response.

  “Oh, yeah. Okay.” agreed Lara.

  But, turned out the teacher hadn’t actually finished assesing all of the students. They just sat on the empty bench and rested.

  “Here is the special water from the great Water Controller!” shouted Suho suddenly from behind and sat beside Lara, giving her the water bottle.

  “Oh, Suho! You’ve done the assesment? Thanks.” replied Lara.

  “Yeah, drink it up. You must be tired from playing the basketball with Luhan earlier.” responded Suho.

  “Yes.” Lara smiled and nodded.

  That moment, Luhan took a quick glance to Suho and Suho nodded.
  “Luhan, do you want some?” offered Lara.

  “Oh, yeah thanks.” said Luhan.

  When finally the teacher had finished assesing all the students, the bell rang. Signing break time.

  All the students then walked to the locker room and changed their uniform.

  Lara too, went into the female locker room. Chen, Lay, Suho, Kris, Luhan and Xiumin then immediately guarded in front of the locker room. But, while doing some other activities so that no one got suspicious of them.

  Chen and Lay chatting accross the female locker room, while Luhan talked to Xiumin. Suho pretending to tie his shoe lace while Kris was walking slowly back and forth in the hallway.

  ‘Lara, are you done yet?’ asked Luhan telepathically, after a few minutes Lara entered the locker room.

  ‘Oh, Luhan! You startled me. I’m not finished yet. Why?’ asked Lara.

  ‘Will you please hurry up? The others are waiting for you to eat lunch together.’ lied Luhan.

  ‘Okay then. Just five more minutes.’ answered Lara.

  Chen, Lay, Suho, Kris, Luhan and Xiumin felt relieved when Lara got out from the female locker room five minutes later.

  She didn’t realize that the six of them were waiting for her accros the female locker room until Chen called her out.

  “Lara! Hey. We’re here.” said Chen.

  “Oh?! You were waiting for me?”

  “In front of female locker room?” asked Lara again with a small volume, afraid that others would heard them.

  “Yes, sorry we are so hungry to eat lunch.” said Suho.

  “Nah, that’s fine. Let’s go to the cafetaria.” responed Lara.

  “Oh! But why haven’t you change your uniform?” asked Lara again, confused because they were still wearing their sport uniform.

  “Yeah, we will change later after lunch.” explained Kris.
