“S-sorry!” Luhan shouted as he ran to the girl who got kicked with his soccer ball hard on her head making her fall on the icy ground.

“Ow” she whimpered as he touched the swollen part of her head. “don’t touch it you idiot” she bit her lip trying hard not to tear up. Her eyes suddenly felt so heavy as she fell on to Luhan’s lap. The lad caught her just in time before she could meet his hard lap.

“H-hyerin?” he looked at the girl sleeping on his lap. “Y-ya! Oh Hyerin! Don’t fall asleep here” he said as he felt his cheeks burning. The girl still hasn’t waked up leaving him dumbfounded on the ground.

He glanced down and stared at her beautiful figure. Her small nose, her small pink lips, her brown wavy hair, just everything fascinates him. “Why do you have to be so beautiful?” he said before planting a soft kiss on her forehead. He looked up at the night sky full of stars lighting up his world.

“Luhan?” he glanced down at the girl whose eyes were now wide open. “Morning sunshine” he smiled sweetly at her before helping her sit up straight. “how was your nap?”

“Awful. I feel like sleeping on a rock” she stuck her tounge out at him before joining him looking up at the night stars. “It’s so beautiful” she smiled.

“I can’t agree more” he answered not looking at the sky but looking at her. He smiled at her side figure, the top half of her hair covered with a dark-blue beanie he bought for her the other day.

“Hey, I was just wondering” he asked, focusing his eyes on the night sky again. “hmm..?” she hummed. *if I say I love you would you love me back?* He opened his mouth to say it out but nothing came out. He swallowed the big lump forming in his throat before shooking his head. “N-nevermind”

She side glanced at his red tomato face before letting out a small chuckle to herself. *I wonder what will happen to our relationship if I tell you I love you, how would you react, how would you answer* she let out a heavy sigh and stood up making Luhan look up at her. Seeing her reacting like this, he reluctantly stood up as well.

*should I confess now* they both thought as they stared at each other’s eyes tenderly.

Luhan raised his hand to touch her soft cheeks as he didn’t leave her soft gaze. She raised her hand and touched his hand that was caressing her cheeks.

They widened their eyes as they noticed their position just then. He was caressing her cheeks and she was touching his hand. They looked away, embarrassed and both hid their red faces from each other.

“So umm.. I’ll see you at school?” He spoke up first and turned around to face her back. “Y-yeah. See you at school.” They both parted ways as they walked back home.

Luhan stopped in his tracks and glanced back at her walking figure. “She touched me. She touched my hand.” He rubbed his hand and smiled before continuing his way.

Hyerin stopped in her tracks and glanced back to see that he was nowhere out of sight anymore. She touched her cheeks and couldn’t help but squeal a little.

“Hyerin Noona~” she glanced back to see her brother, Oh Sehun running towards her. “Well someone’s hyper today” she chuckled and ruffled his blonde hair.

“Here,” he handed a pair of white headphones to her. “it’s so unlike you to leave your headphones just like that” He raised an eyebrow. “what?” she asked, surprised of his brother’s gesture as she wrapped her headphones on her neck.

“Did Luhan hyung did something to you last night?” he asked suspicious. “How did you know I was with Luhan last night?” she asked as they continued walking to school.

“I followed him to the court.” He answered before someone smacked the back of his head. “What the-“ Luhan glared at the younger boy. “Stalker” he stuck his tounge out playfully and ruffled the younger one’s hair making him jump back slightly. He nodded at Hyerin and looked ahead again. *why does she have to look so damn hot in our uniform*

The uniform was nothing special actually. Just a dark blue blazer and skirt/pants, black tie, and a white shirt. The skirt complimented Hyerin’s her long milky legs since it stopped slightly above her knees.

“Hyung, don’t mess my beautiful hair” he brushed it jokingly before avoiding Luhan’s tickles. Sehun stopped running around once he saw his friend, Baekhyun walking to school just ahead of him. “Baekhyun! Wait for me!” he skidded off making both Luhan and Hyerin chuckle.

As much as they were the best of friends, they were left in an awkward position after what happened last night. None of them spoke a word until they reached the gate to school.

“Hey, sorry about last night” Luhan spoke while rubbing the back of his neck. “I don’t know what got into me.” Hyerin’s eyes widen in shock before softening them again. “It’s okay, I guess” she grinned.

They walked past the school halls to their class. People looked at them in awe as they pass by. Well who wouldn’t. They were the most admirable people at their school. The girl was good in music, arts and basketball while the guy was good in singing, acting, and soccer. They both also have relatively good grades, the best in school actually. Not to mention, Hyerin was the most beautiful girl in the school. At least that’s what the guys agreed to.

But since middle school, no guy ever dared to confess to her. First reason is probably because they’re too shy and second is probably because of the presence of Luhan. Everyone in the school knows they both like each other even Sehun knows, but they were just too blind to notice each other’s feelings.

“Girl, you look so hot in our uniform” A new guy chorted out loud with some of his friends as they stared eye-to-toe at Hyerin walking to her locker. Too busy listening to her headphones, she walked past them without even noticing their low whistles. “Hey why so-“One of them teased but then shut up after they heard a loud bang of locker.

“They’re dead meat alright”

“Wrong move guys”

“New guys should just slack off”

Luhan walked side by side with Hyerin again but this time, he walked on the side where the new guys were at. He gave them a piercing glare that made them gulp and backed away.

“W-what’s with him?” one of the guys with blonde hair gulped but then scoffed. They sensed a weird aura around as they turned around only to be met by people looking at them like they were some piece of trash, full of hate and disgust. They gulped for the last time before walking away to their respective class.

“Hey Luhan!” a tall girl with brown hair waved. “Morning Bora” he smiled back sitting on his chair beside Hyerin in the back of the class. “You’re gonna come to today’s practice, right? We need our ultimate striker to be with us you know” she winked.

Eventhough she’s still wearing her headphones, she could hear perfectly what Bora just said. *Hyerin, Bora’s just his manager. Chill. Nothing more than that.  Wait, why am I saying it like I’m his girlfriend?* her face became red as a tomato in just a minute. *Is it just me or does the air feel hotter here* she thought while trying to hide her face with her black hoodie. With a slight glance, Bora caught her hiding her red tomato face.

“Well, see you later Lu,” she smirked and whispered in Luhan’s ear before turning away. “ask her out you dumbdumb. The whole school knows you love her, don’t be so friend-zoned” she winked at him and smirked at Hyerin again before walking away to her own seat.  

“You have practice later on?” Hyerin wrapped her headphones to her neck and prepared for the first period of the day. “Yeah, sorry I can’t walk home with you.” He frowned.

“Nahh, it’s okay. I can go home alone.” She smiled sweetly. “Can you come at 7 at the tree house tonight though? I… I wanna tell you umm… Something” She shrugged nervously. *tonight’s the night. I have to tell him tonight.* he nodded eagerly in response.

“Mom, I’m gonna bring Tinker to the tree house, kay?” she told her mom who was sitting on the living room sofa. “Is Luhan going to be there?” her mother smirked. “M-mom” she blushed and her mom chuckled in return.  “Sure, go on. Be careful of strangers.”

She put a leash on her Siberian husky and walked out to the cold winter night. The wind blew away her brown hair slightly to the side. “Why is it so chilly tonight” she wondered out loud and went to a nearby mini market to buy hot chocolate. 

She sat down on the seats outside the market with Tinker sitting right beside her. She looked up at the chilly night sky and hugged her light brown winter coat slightly tighter. “Tinker, do you think Neverland is real?” she smiled bitterly and looked at her dog. Tinker perked her ears up as if she knew what Hyerin was talking about.

She looked back at the night sky and chuckled to herself. “What am I saying? Neverland is just a fairy tale.” She smiled but deep inside, she wanted to believe that Neverland do exist. She loved the fairy tale since she was five. She loved hoe Peterpan don’t want to gow up, she loved the twist of romance there, she loved everything about the fairy tale. Since then, she believed that she will find her own Peterpan someday.

“Luhan!” Bora called him over when he was doing some pushups. He raised his head and immediately ran to her direction. “Go” he raised an eyebrow. “I said go. Hyerin must be waiting for you. Look what time is it you pabo!” He glanced down at his wrist watch and his eyes were as wide as saucers then. It was 6.30pm. It takes 30 minutes to walk from the school to the tree house.

“Now go!” she chuckled at his reaction and pushed him to the changing room. “Thank you! I’ll pay you back next time!” he bowed and ran to change.

He wore his black fluffy coat and immediately ran out the school to the tree house with a serious face. He knew something was up. Hyerin only went to their tree house if there is something burdening her or if she wanted to tell him something important. He ran through the streets of Seoul until he reached their neighborhood. He walked past houses, mini markets, and all that.

He stopped running as he was standing in front of a bundle of trees. Somewhat like a small forest. He ran past the familiar trees until he reached a big tree in the middle of the forest. There was some flight of stairs attached to the tree.

He immediately went up the stairs and walked in the tree house only to be met by silence. It was dead silent inside the tree house like no one was there. “Hyerin?” He the lights and he guessed correctly, no one was there.

He grew anxious as he glanced down at his wrist watch. 7.15pm. He frowned a little before stepping inside and looked out the balcony. “Where is she?”

Hyerin walked through her neighborhood with Tinker tagging along beside her. *it’s getting dark* that’s when her eyes widened. “T-tinker, what time is it?” she asked her dog as if she could tell the time. She looked down at her bright green watch and gasped loudly. “Oh my God! I’m late! I promised Luhan I would be in the tree house at 7.00pm,” she ranted while running to the direction off the tree house. “and look at me, I just had to fall asleep at the mini-market. It’s 8.15pm!”

Once she arrived at the big tree, it was 8.30pm already. She noticed the door to the house was opened as she walked up the stairs carefully. Sensing nothing dangerous, Tinker walked in ahead. “Tinker! What are you doing? What if a stranger’s inside?” she half whispered. Instead of barking out of anger, Tinker barked excitedly as she wagged her tail around. She ran inside and laughter could be heard from inside the house.

Carefully, Hyerin walked in as well and she was suddenly trapped in someone’s arms. “L-luhan?” she squeaked. “Where were you, you pabo! I was worried sick, you should’ve been here like an hour ago”

She pulled away from the hug and looked at his eyes guiltily. “I-I’m sorry. I fell asleep at the market and got lost of ti-“ her words were cut off by lips pressing against hers. Luhan was kissing her. She was shocked but then closed her eyes immediately and she couldn’t help but reply to his soft kiss. She trailed her fingers to wrap around his neck and his hands were wrapped around her waist pulling her closer to him. They were both waiting for that special moment to happen between the both of them since forever.

Luhan couldn’t help it much longer as he put his hands around her thighs and carried her around the house until he sat down on the wooden floor. She was now sitting on his lap with her legs wrapped around his body. If not for his strong uphold, she would be resting on top of him by then.

He could feel something salty as he kissed her. He opened his eyes and saw tears flowing down her cheeks but she was smiling. He couldn’t help but smile in the soft and long kiss as well. After what felt like a minute of kissing each other, Luhan pulled away before anything else happened.

He stared at the girl sitting on his lap trying to catch her breath. They stared at each other full of love and content. Her brown eyes sparkled a little as she smiled. He couldn’t help but tackle her into a warm hug.

“I love you, Hyerin.” He whispered softly in her ears. She pulled away from the hug and pecked his lips before resting her head on his chest. She sniffled her nose loud enough for Luhan to hear. He pulled away only to make her hug him tighter.

“Why are you crying?” he asked her concerned. *Did I say something wrong?* “Nothing, I’m just happy.” She smiled and looked up to meet his brown orbs. She kissed him again but this time it only lasted for a minute or so as their lips were both swollen from the kiss earlier.

“I’m just happy that I finally found my Peterpan” she closed her eyes and laid flat on the floor. “You know you will always be my Wendy and I will always be your Peterpan.” She scooted closer so that her head was now resting on his shoulder.

“Always”
