Close Your Eyes

Description

Yixing knows all too well what Luhan is doing when he ditches Yixing like this. What he’s doing when he forgets dates and anniversaries.

He knows, but he doesn’t want to know.

So he closes his eyes.

He tells himself that he’s misreading the signs, that there must be something else going on. Luhan loves him. He does. Luhan’s just busy these days, that’s all. Practicing too much, until his voice is hoarse and his legs are weak. That’s all.

That's all.

Foreword

Luhan and Yixing have been dating for years. Yixing knows that everything is fine, that he and Luhan still love each other, that nothing's changed.

But everything's changed, hasn't it?

*** 

Everyone is lying. To themselves, to the others. Everyone is hiding. From themselves, from the others.

Each of them closes their eyes, pretending everything is ok, pretending they don't see, don't know.

But they do.

They do know.

And it's breaking them.

*** 

Tags: Angst, cheating, talks about Kris and Luhan's departure from Exo. Semi-AU. Starts just before Overdose era. This story is purely fictional, please do not take this as truth! 

Note: Dorm situations are based on Mama promotions I believe, although this story is set just before Overdose. Liberties have been taken with promotional activities as well, so not everything is accurate.

Chapter 10: This is like my 4th time reading this and I'm still crying. I love this so much. I felt so bad for Yixing, my poor baby.

Chapter 10: okay, I am terribly late, but you know, when I deal with angst I need to go at my own pace. God I left it at chapter 4 and I was so afraid for this story. I am not used to reading stories that deal with "reality" settings and this was so sad :(
You made me despise Luhan seriously. I mean he deserved the guilt, when he accused Yixing of cheating, what a hypocrite! And Kris... ugh Kris is my love (yes I am an idiot), but here he was so irresponsible! Even the reason why he left was irresponsible... Better stay and fix things or be honest than run away. I am so happy though that Yixing and Chen found happiness in the end! And Minseok was also so sweet too.
Great story as expected! -niki
