Twelve

 

 

 

Eunji sluggishly walked past the entrance of the school, pulling her bag over her shoulder. She let out a yawn as she began her usual after school routine, going to her part-time jobs. She flinched as she felt someone tap on her shoulder. Spinning around, she caught sight of an excited Luhan behind her. 

  "Where are you going now?" Luhan asked, grinning uncontrollably.    "Yah, are you a stalker now?" Eunji muttered, turning back around to continue her walk.   Luhan took a few strides to walk beside her. "But I'm your boyfriend," Luhan said playfully, although making sure to speak quietly. "Unless you forgot?"   Eunji flushed. "Stop walking beside me you idiot! You're gonna give people the wrong idea!" Eunji scolded with a subtle glare before increasing her pace.   Luhan noticed her reddened cheeks and he stifled a laugh. He placed his hands in his pant pockets as he casually strolled behind her. Eunji felt his presence and frowned. She hoped he wasn't going to follow her, because it 'totally' wasn't awkward for XL mall's heir to be watching his girlfriend work at a cheap coffee shop. She quickened her pace until she was almost power-walking, surpassing a group of students.   Luhan raised his eyebrows as he watched Eunji disappear from his view after she past a group of girls. He tried to catch up, although he didn't need to use much effort. He excused himself as he pushed through the group of girls, earning a few squeals. Eunji quickly stole a glance behind her, their gazes locking. She turned away immediately and Luhan scoffed, earning strange looks from the girls. Eunji scrunched her face in embarrassment. She had to get away from her stalker, and fast. She took a deep breath.   "Ahh, I'm gunna be late!" she yelled as she pretended to read her watch on her hand.   She broke into a sprint, smiling triumphantly to herself. That would put him off track for sure. Luhan opened his mouth in shock and amusement, watching as his girlfriend ran away from him. Of course, he took this as a challenge. He didn't want to run right after her, knowing that others will be suspicious. He took a deep breath before his broke out his acting skills. Taking his phone out of his pocket, he pretended to tap an answer button and put it to his ear.    "Hello? Oh my gosh really!? I can't believe it! I'll be right there!!" he shouted, spitting out any random word he could think of.   He pretended to end the call before he began to run.        Eunji had just turned the corner into the quiet neighborhood of her cafe before she slowed down to a walk. She swiped a strand of hair away from her face as she panted. "Aish," she muttered under her breath, regretting sprinting. She only had the energy last time to run all the way to the shop from knowing that she could've been fired. This time was different though.   Suddenly she felt two arms wrap around hers and a head resting on her shoulder. She froze until she inhaled the all too familiar scent.  Luhan dropped his head on Eunji's shoulder, gasping for breath. Eunji felt his soft, fluffy blonde hair graze against her cheeks.   "Y-yah, how do... you run so...fast?" Luhan gasped, his body pressing onto Eunji's back.   Eunji began to heat up from the sudden contact, her breath hitching.   "Get off right now," she ordered, trying to free her arms.    Luhan didn't oblige though, and continued to rest his body on hers.   Eunji rolled her eyes, pretending that she didn't like how close they were. "You seriously followed me? I think I need to call the police," Eunji joked.   She felt Luhan smile against her shoulder. "Wae? You want to see me in jail?" Luhan said, his breath steadying.   "Yes."   Luhan furrowed his eyebrows, finally having the energy to get up from his position.   "Buo, what did you say?" he chuckled. "Is that really how you want to treat your boyf-"   Eunji's hand shot up to cover Luhan's mouth as she looked around them cautiously. When she realized no one was around them, she hesitantly removed it.   "You don't want people to find out?" Luhan asked.   "Of course not, what do you think those crazy fangirls are going to do?! Don't tell me you were planning to-"   "NO!" Luhan interrupted. "I mean, at first, yes. But after my friends told me about them, I realized..."   Eunji sneered. "So you really were goi
