Chapter 2 - First Teaser

Behind the Scenes

Luhan POV

 


Someone was knocking at my door. Loudly.

"HYUNG!" Oh, it was Sehun. Rubbing my eyes, I climbed out of bed and opened my bedroom door.

"What is it," I asked sleepily, still trying to wake up. "You interrupted my nap." Sehun looked slightly confused. Oops, I must have accidentally defaulted to Chinese in my groggy state. "Sorry," I apologized in Korean. "What is it?"

"Actually, I should probably practice my Chinese with you... You always speak to me in Korean so your Korean is much better than my Chinese." Sehun lowered his head, embarrassed. Oh, this kid. Poor guy.

"No no, it's fine," I soothed. "Chinese is much harder than Korean and there are different sounds and tones. I've also been learning Korean longer-- I was even an exchange student in Korea! Remember? That’s how I was scouted. You only started learning Chinese after meeting me and finding out that EXO would have a Chinese half and a Korean half..." The words caught in my throat. I didn't want to leave my little dongsaeng when EXO will have to split. But I had to keep a strong front for Sehun.

"Anyway, what did you come here for?" I asked, quickly changing the topic.

Sehun raised his eyebrow at the sudden change but went along with it. He probably didn't want to talk about the separation either. "I just wanted to say: congratulations!"

I blinked. "...For what?"

He chuckled. "Your first teaser came out today, silly!"

"Wait, really??" I spun around and ran to my laptop. Laughing, Sehun followed me into my room. I pulled up my Internet browser, went to YouTube, and sure enough, SMTOWN had a new teaser up: "KAI & LU HAN." I gasped and immediately clicked it. "Time Control" blasted into my ears, and I saw myself and Kai appear on the screen.

The next minute was painful. I scrutinized my every move, looking for mistakes. When the video ended, I sighed.

"Wasn't it really good?" Sehun asked eagerly.

"I was so...sloppy." I buried my face in my hands. "No one will like me."

"...What?!" Sehun exclaimed. "Are you kidding me?? That was amazing! Honestly, you dance better than me," he admitted.

"Yeah right, I don't think so. You're an amazing dancer! Don't pretend you're not."

"Then don't pretend that your teaser wasn't crazy good. It was flawless!" he argued.

I sighed in defeat, knowing Sehun would win. "Fine."

"Good." He smiled. "Now, let's celebrate!"

"...Celebrate?"

"Of course! We need to commemorate this day. The day that the world first saw Luhan appear in an EXO teaser!" His eyes twinkled and he grabbed my hand. "Come on!" Leading me out of the room, we almost ran into Minseok who was about to go into our room. He was eating a bun.

"Where are you two going?" he asked with a mouth full of food.

"Out to eat!" Sehun declared.

"We are?" I asked, dazed.

"Yes!"

Minseok looked back and forth at us. "Okay..." he said slowly. "I'll be in our room." Then he walked inside and shut the door.

"Wait, I think I left my cell phone in our room. What if Minseok goes through my texts again..." I worried. "Kris isn’t nearby to stop him either. Maybe we should just stay. Besides, practice starts in 20 minutes."

"No, hyung. You worry too much. We're going out to eat." He looked at me sternly.

I relented. "Alright, alright, whatever you want." I could never say no to this kid.

His face lit up. "Yay. Let's go!"

He dragged me out of our apartment building and didn't let go of my hand until we reached the noodle place across the street.

"Pick anything you want. Today, it's my treat!" he announced proudly. Aw, he was so cute. Usually, I pay when we eat out, but now he's growing up.

Laughing, I said, "Okay, Sehunnie. I'll just have some lo mein."

"Okay, we can share!"

"Hey hey hey, I thought you were treating me? Shouldn't I get my own bowl?" I pouted.

Seeing my pout, he chucked. "Fine, hyung. Seriously though, don't use your aegyo on me. It's my only weakness." He looked at me with wide eyes. Geez, this kid had way too much aeygo of his own.

"Your only weakness? Oh really," I teased. "Well, then I guess you're resistant to...BEING TICKLED!!" I lunged and grabbed him from behind around his chest with one arm, using the other to jab my finger into his side.

"Stop...it...hyung!" he gasped between bursts of laughter. The other customers in the restaurant were staring at us, but I ignored them.

"But you said you didn't have any other weaknesses," I maintained, grinning slyly.

"Fine...I'm...ticklish... Happy?" I stopped tickling him and he panted, gulping breaths of air. I laughed. He was too cute. But he only glared at me.

"What's wrong?" I asked innocently, mimicking his wide-eyed face.

"Don't pretend that didn't just happen. That was so embarrassing." He pinched the bridge of his nose. "I absolutely won't forgive you for it, even if you use aegyo." He folded his arms.

"But we're supposed to be celebrating my first teaser!" I pouted again.

Sehun sighed. "I thought I told you to stop using aegyo on me. You don't have an excuse like Tao-- you're not even the maknae," he grumbled. I shot him an angelic smile. He stuck out his tongue and walked up to the cashier. "One lo mein bowl, please."

"Only one?" I protested.

"Do you have a problem with sharing it with me?" he asked, leaning his face into mine, staring into my eyes.

"No," I squeaked.

"Good." He withdrew his face and turned back around to the cash register. He seemed pretty scary doing that, but I caught a smile sneaking onto his lips. I smacked his shoulder.

"Why'd you have to scare me like that, huh?" I demanded, grabbing the collar of his shirt. "Don't ever do that again. Do you hear me?"

But Sehun saw through my mask and just laughed. "Whatever you say, hyung."

Sighing, I let go of his collar. "Let's just get the stinking noodles and eat back in the dorms."

Grinning, he replied, "Sure thing!"

QUOTES: On the Sina Live Interview, Luhan said that he was scouted while shopping with friends when he was an exchange student in Korea learning Korean. Also, he said that Xiumin's nickname is "Golden bun" because he has a cute, round face and likes to eat steamed buns. It was also said that Luhan, Xiumin, and Kris share a room.

Hi ^^ Just passing by (after I abandoned this site for years) and I thought I should give you a greeting. (Eventhough you might not remember me at all lol)
After all, you and this fic are one of my (a very few) favorites here (since I haven't read any fic in here that much).
I don't know, well, your fic made me have some kind of bittersweet feeling, nostalgic and heart-warming memories.
I still remember the day I got back home after school to check your updates here :')
Those days and that era were the best, to be honest. With everything still went well and happy. Lots of thing happened after that right?
And that's why I said this fic made me have bittersweet feeling ;u; since...yeah, I really miss Luhan. Sobs.
I definitely re-read this again when I have some more time.

See ya ! ^^
