The Hardships
I Was Enchanted To Meet You
Lay’s Coffee Shop
After sitting there for almost half an hour, Luhan finally came back with his so-called ‘Flame Tarts’ that looked delicious but seemed quite dangerous to eat, seeing that it’s top half was lit on fire.
“Hey guys! Try this!” Luhan said, placing the plate in front of the two boys who were virtually salivating over the chocolate desert.
Sehun and Kai were about to dig into the desert, until a frantic looking Lay came running out of the kitchen, slapping the fork from Sehun’s fingertips.
“DON’T EAT IT!” Lay exclaimed, before grabbing the plate and throwing it across the room, the desert landing perfectly on Suho’s head.
Suho sighed “Lay… What did you do?” He asked calmly, almost if he was already used to his partner’s unusual antics.
“The desert was on fire!” Lay said, as he began to bow apologetically to his customers.
Suho rolled his eyes, his lips beginning to twitch upwards. “Lay, the desert is supposed to be on fire. It’s one of Kyungsoo’s newest creations.”
Lay looked back at his partner, his mouth slightly open, a light shade of pink spreading across his cheeks; he was so embarrassed right now.
He quickly picked up a towel and ran towards the chocolate covered man, trying his best to remove every single piece of tart while mumbling a bunch of “I’m sorry”‘s in repetition.
Suddenly, Sehun noticed something familiar about one of the men standing in front of him.
He titled his head slightly “Mr. Kim?"
Suho, who was currently collecting pieces of tart on his fingers and wiping them on his lover’s face, halted at the sound of someone calling his name. He looked back and saw Sehun, Luhan, and some other boy staring right at them.
He quickly fixed his attire and whispered something into Lay’s ear. The other boy’s expression turned serious before nodding. Lay collected whatever was left of the tart and made his way back inside the kitchen, leaving Suho alone with the three familiar figures.
Luhan, being the hyperactive person he naturally is, jumped from his seat and ran up to his fellow school teacher. “Hi Suho! You and Lay are so cute!” He squealed.
Suho, as if it were instinct, covered the Chinese male’s mouth with his palms. “Sshhh! Luhan, lower you voice!” Suho said, looking over Luhan’s shoulder, hoping that no one noticed Luhan’s blatant statement.
Luhan slowly removed Suho’s hands from his lips. “Fine, sorry, but you guys are just too adorable.”
Suho’s cheeks were tainted with a light shade of pink, his eyes scanning the room to see if anyone had been staring at them or listening to their conversation.
Luhan smiled a sad smile, Suho had a tendency of becoming extremely nervous around people he didn’t know, or people he thought looked down on him.
Luhan knew Suho was gay. He knew that from day one when he was practically molested by the history teacher.
He had met Lay a little later when the two teachers bonded over mocha lattes. Suho had introduced Lay as his “best friend” and the owner of the coffe shop. Luhan would have believed Suho’s lie at first glance, and he did for a couple minutes, up until Lay asked Suho to buy them some vanilla flavored lube before they went home.
And that’s when the three of them decided to have a !
Just kidding…
The more believable reality was a distressed looking Suho and a blushing Lay. Suho tried coming up with multiple excuses but failed miserably. He was practically on the verge of tears before Luhan reassured the anxious man that he had no problem with the two of them being an item. And the fact that Luhan himself was a homoual.
Suho, who didn’t even flinch when Luhan told him he was gay as well, looked more relieved than anything. He begged Luhan not to tell anyone at the school, and to just keep it between them. He didn't want to loose his job.
Lay tried his best to calm down his lover, who, at the moment seemed really scared. He knew Suho was paranoid about these kinds of situations but it still broke his heart each time he saw the person he loved most feel so insecure.
Luhan gave Suho a gentle smile before patting him in the back. Reassuring the distressed figure; that his secret was safe with him.
Suho seemed really grateful towards Luhan ever since that day and vowed that he would give the deer-like boy free coffee every time he would visit the café.
Luhan couldn’t believe his luck, he’s finally offered a free lifetime supply of something and it had to be coffee. He hated coffee, why couldn’t Lay have opened up a bubble tea shop?
Suho finally directed his attention to the two boys sitting behind Luhan.
Suho noticed Sehun right away; he was after all, the only boy in the entire school who had platinum blonde hair. “Hello Sehun-shi” he smiled.
“Hi Mr. Kim” Sehun replied, a small smile forming across his face.
To others it would have looked like almost nothing, but not to Luhan. To Luhan, just seeing the blonde boy smile made his day a tinsy bit better. It reminded him that Sehun still believed in happiness.
“Suho, this is Kai, he’s one of Sehun’s old friends.” Luhan introduced.
“Nice to meet you” Kai said, bowing politely.
“Nice to meet you too” Suho replied before excusing himself from the table. “I have to check up on Lay, he might be burning...-something."
“Suho wait, do you mind if I talk to Kyungsoo?” Luhan asked.
“Yeah sure, but he’s kind of busy today.” Suho replied.
Luhan nodded in understanding. “Don’t worry, I’ll be really quick. He told me that he would give me some easy recipes to make.”
Sehun laughed “Since when did you know how to cook?”
Luhan thought about it before smiling “Ever since Sehun started living with me.”
Kai’s eyes widened from the news that his ex-boyfriend was actually living with another man, together.
Kai mentally sighed; he definitely knew Sehun had moved on from him, it would have been odd if he didn’t. But that still didn’t change the fact that it still hurt to hear that “his” Sehun wasn’t his anymore.
“Are you okay?” Sehun asked, noticing the tan boy’s sudden crestfallen expression.
Kai smiled half-heartedly before nodding. “I’m fine, just a bit tired, that’s all.” He answered.
Sehun still wasn’t convinced. “Are you sure?” he asked one more time.
Kai’s lips began to twitch upwards “I’m sure” he smiled. He was at the very least content with just being around the blonde boy. Maybe one day they could even be the best of friends.
“Sehun-ah I’ll be right back! The chef will just give me some recipes so you don’t starve to death or get food poisoning from my cooking.” Luhan informed.
Sehun nodded “Okay hyung, and I l-like you’re cooking...” He replied, his ears turning red.
Luhan couldn’t help but grin. “Thank you Sehun-ah! You’re so sweet!” He exclaimed before wrapping his arms around Sehun and giving him a tight hug, but Sehun couldn’t complain.
Kai noticed the bright blush on Sehun’s face and smiled. “At least he’s happy” he thought to himself.
“I’ll be right back” Luhan said, untangling his arms from Sehun’s waist, much to the blonde boy’s disappointment.
Sehun watched as Luhan disappeared inside the café’s kitchen. He felt the heat in his face from Luhan’s touch and he began to get frustrated.
“I think I'm liking him more and more everyday…” he thought.
After a couple seconds of daydreaming, Sehun thoughts were interrupted. “The both of you make a cute couple.” Kai said, as he began to fiddle with his fingers.
Sehun tilted his head to the side, “a couple?” he was confused. “What is Jongin talking about?”
“I can tell he really likes you…”
"Ohh..." Sehun finally understood.
Instead of stopping Kai and correcting any misunderstandings he might have, he didn’t. He sat there, letting Jongin’s words linger in his mind. He just wanted someone to tell him that Luhan felt something towards him. But he knew only Luhan could make him feel that way, it just wasn’t enough for Kai to tell him, Luhan had to tell him. But he knew Luhan didn’t feel that way and that all his hopes were just part of his delusional fantasy.
“Sehun-ah?” Kai’s words once again interrupting the blonde boy’s thoughts.
“Yeah?”
“I… just wanted to say I’m sorry again… I really am.” Kai’s replied, his eyes full of sincerity.
Sehun softened his expression before standing up to hug Kai. Kai enveloped his arms around the blonde boy’s waist. They could care less if some people were looking at them with disgust, they’ve dealt with bigger problems.
“Sehun-ah, I hope we can be friends?” Kai sheepishly asked, releasing himself from Sehun’s embrace.
Sehun smiled before nodding. “I would like that.”
Kai couldn’t help but let out a wide grin, he finally had Sehun back in his life. After all the obstacles he’s been through in the past three years, he was just happy to see the blonde boy. He thanked god for getting him through this mess.
“Even if we aren’t together anymore… I still care about you.” Kai said honestly.
“Me too…”
“Together?” a voice out of nowhere came, interrupting the two boys.
Sehun looked back to see Luhan staring at them.
“H-Hyung…” Sehun mumbled, his eyes becoming watery before he stood up and ran out of the cafe' and into the middle of the street.
“SEHUN-AH! LOOK OUT!” Luhan tried yelling, trying his best to run after the blond boy.
Sehun turned around and saw a car heading right towards him.
A sharp pain hitting him head first was the last thing he felt before everything went black.
