From, an unknown number

‘your man is in danger.

If you want to protect him, call me.’

Minseok was little shocked to read the same weird message again.

He had ignored this before thinking it as a prank.

After sending off jongdae, luhan had insisted on walking minseok to his class.

Both of them were not talking anything.

But the silence around them wasn’t uncomfortable for them.

They walked side by side, and, whenever luhan’s arms brush minseok’s he blushed slightly.

On the other hand, luhan felt like his heart flipped each time that happened.

That was when minseok got that suspicious message.

“What happened?” luhan asked seeing the frown on minseok’s face.

“uh?” minseok took his eyes from the phone and looked up.

They both have stopped walking and luhan is facing him, with a concerned look.

He contemplated for a second if he should show the message to him or not.

But, he decided to not.

What if it’s just a prank?

“anything serious happened?”

luhan now got little closer to him and slightly touched minseok’s left hand with his right hand.

“uh, no nothing. It’s just a spam message” minseok said avoiding luhan’s eyes.

Luhan was sure that it was a lie.

But, he knows that their relationship has not yet reached the level where no secrets are kept.

So, he simply nodded to minseok.

But, he did give a look to minseok telling him that he didn’t believe it fully.

Soon they reached minseok’s class and when he turned to say bye to luhan-

“MINSEOK”

-his name was called loudly by junmyeon.

“where the hell were you? You were absent yesterday, and you didn’t take my call too.

Even baekhyun didn’t pick up my call”.

Junmyeon started bombarding him with a lot’s of questions.

Minseok smiled at his actions and tried to stop him

“jun, calm down. I will answer all of your questions. Okay.

But now-“

After saying it minseok suddenly hugged him making junmyeon little startled and luhan curious.

“thank you- you are such a good friend, jun” minseok said while hugging him.

Now luhan understood the reason behind the hug.

But junmyeon was totally clueless.

“Why are you thanking me. What did i-“

it was then he saw luhan standing beside them.

Earlier his attention was only on minseok.

“wait, why are you both together?”

he immediately closed his mouth realizing he had said his inner thoughts aloud.

Instead of minseok, it was luhan who replied to that.

“I am offended junmyeon. After all, you were there to witness our engagement.”

“no, no, that’s not what I-“

minseok’s little laugh cut him and then he released him from the hug.

“he was just teasing you.”, minseok said while shaking his head and smiling at luhan.

luhan nodded his head at junmyeon with a smile too.

“jun-”, minseok turned towards junmyeon and took both his hands and held it.

“I am fortunete to have a friend like you”

Junmyeon looked surprised. But, he before he says something, minseok continued;

“you were ready to give your love to me,junmyeon”

Minseok softly said while fondly looking at him.

Junmyeon stared at him shocked by what he heard.

“how?-, who?- “ junmyeon looked back and forth at minseok and luhan with wide eyes.

“Someone who knew your entire secret” luhan said with a cheeky grin.

Junmyeon looked at luhan and soon he got the answer.

“don’t say it’s Yixing again” junmyeon facepalmed.

“sorry junmyeon, it’s none other than Mr. zhang Yixing.”

Luhan said and minseok chuckled at it.

“I swear to god, his death will be by my hands”

Both luhan and minseok laughed at it.

“jun, it’s fine. He didn’t mean anything bad. He really cares for you.

But, why did you say ‘again’, he said this to someone else too?

Minseok asked.

“well, he said it to both me and sehun too”.

Minseok had a little surprised look.

“so, he knows?”

Both junmyeon and luhan nodded and luhan added;

“though I don’t know what exactly happened, I know sehun went to search for him.”

“he did,” minseok asked junmyeon.

“mmm”

“and?”

“Nothing much.” he shrugged.

“uh, no you can’t do that to me. Explain…” minseok shook him.

Junmyeon sighed.

“I explained everything to him. And I said I like him and asked if we can date.”

“wah… you did that?” both luhan and minseok asked him.

“I did”

“and, what did he say” luhan was now so excited.

“nothing”

“what”

“he said he will call me. But till now, nothing happened. He said he needs time.”

Junmyeon’s face became dull and he pouted a little.

“aww, luhan, did he say something to you,” minseok asked while half hugging junmyeon.

“no, he didn’t. but, let’s do one thing. Why don’t you both join us for the lunch?

Let’s see how he will react.”Luhan said.

“no, I mean, I don’t want to pressure him,” junmyeon said and looked down.

He really wanted to see him. But, he promised to give him time too.

Minseok understood junmyeon’s thoughts and so he said;

“jun, we won’t ask anything which will make him uncomfortable.

We will just sit with them and maybe both of you can have some casual talks. Right, luhan?”

He turned to luhan expectedly.

“Absolutely. We won’t talk anything related to you both”

“see, what do you say now?”

“I guess it's fine”. Junmyeon did hesitate a bit.

“luhan,”

“mm,” he gave his full attention to minseok.

‘how about we invite two of our friends too.”

“who?”

“baek and kyungsoo. Kyungsoo is your friend’s boyfriend and

your other friend is trying really hard to get baek’s attention.

What do you say?”

While saying the last words minseok made sure he was showing his puppy heart eyes to luhan.

‘sh*t why your cuteness is becoming a weakness to me.’

Luhan thought while swallowing his urge to hug him and pamper him.

He cleared his throat.

“okay, so, you inform the others and let’s meet for the lunch. Minseok, I will message you”

After saying it both minseok and luhan looked at each other and-

“but,” they both said together.

Then they both laughed a little

“I guess I need your number to do that” luhan said while scratching his head.

Minseok giggled a little and, junmyeon was little surprised to see the development between them.

It was sure for him that they both are kind of comfortable with each other.

“here”,minseok gave his phone and luhan saved his number in it.

He then gave the phone back and showed a silent gesture to say he will be leaving.

But-

“minseok”

The three looked back to see who called him.

For luhan, it was a total stranger,

But, when he looked at the other two, they both were smiling at the newcomer.

“oh, sungyu shii, hi.” Minseok greeted the new one.

“hi. And here- for you” sungyu then handed a flower to him.

Minseok and junmyeon were confused with his action.

After all, Sungyu was just a classmate for them.

Minseok’s heart started beating fast and, that wasn’t because of sungyuu.

He looked to his side to see luhan’s expression.

Even though luhan hadn’t accepted him being a possessive type,

Minseok have almost figured it out by now.

The face which had a smile just a minute before was now replaced by a stone face.

Luhan was glaring at sungyu, unsmiling.

He can’t take one more out lash from luhan and

he doesn’t want to increase the number of people who get beaten by luhan.

There are already 4 in the list.

Since minseok seemed little restless and not accepting the flower, sungyu said;

“I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable.

I just saw this flower on my way and I don’t know why, but it reminded me of you.

I mean, maybe its pink colour resembled your blushed cheeks”

He said little shyly.

But instead of giving a reply, minseok closed his eyes immediately.

He knew what was coming next and,

he doesn’t have the courage to face an angry luhan.

But suddenly his slightly shivering body was wrapped by some warmth.

He shut his eyes open.

But he wasn’t able to see anything since his face was on someone’s chest.

Soon the person moved away, but, didn’t release his hold.

“lu-“ luhan then leaned forward and gave a small peck on minseok’s cheek.

Minseok was beyond shocked and his eyes become twice bigger.

‘did luhan just ki-‘

His thought was interrupted by luhan;

He caressed his face and said in a soft voice;

“will see you later babe”

His breath touched minseok’s lips, making him close his eyes.

Before going, he slightly caressed the ring with his thumb, making sure sungyu saw it.

minseok was tightly holding the of edge his shirt until he missed the warmth around him.

He then opened his eyes and saw luhan’s retreating figure.

“what was that?” junmyeon nudged minseok a little and asked.

“I-“

“who was that. And the ring-?” sungyuu asked in confusion.

He had so many questions in his mind.

Minseok shook his head a few times and looked at junmyeon.

He shrugged at him and then sighed and looked at sungyuu.

“we are engaged.” He said it simply

“you-“

Minseok stopped him with a hand gesture.

“last Saturday we got engaged. And, I don’t have anything else to say”

“jun, let’s go”

He took junmyeon’s hand and went inside their class.

Even luhan didn’t know what came across him.

When that boy gave flowers to him, he just simply didn't like it, nothing more.
