Warning : A long shot ahead ^^

---

Luhan opened his eyes that morning. Everyone seemed to wake up as he heard some noises outside. He didn't want to go anywhere. Last night spent slower than a sloth's movement because he kept wondering on how the test would result and he knew clearly that today, the result would come.

"Gege wake up!!" a voice heard as Luhan drowned himself onto the pillow.

"Five more minutes," Luhan murmured.

"We are going to Paris hyung!!" A deep voice heard as Luhan's eyes opened and he jumped from the bed.

"The hell!" Luhan harshly opened his bedroom door and met with his friends.

"Oh MY!" The one with chubby cheeks checked his letter and almost fainted.

"Glad to see it too," another one with short body came and stared at his letter too.

"YEAAAH!" Luhan jumped while still in his pyjamas and the others followed him.

The oboist felt grateful because he was accepted and his friends too. Being the player in youth orchestra brought them more good despite their talent in music.

Luhan glanced at Chanyeol, the bassist who were a bubbly and cheerful person. His bass always made people felt more joyful even it sounded like his boomed voice. They met in the youth orchestra and being an easy-going person made Chanyeol glued to everybody in the orchestra.

Minseok, god in flute. He ever got a piece for himself in the youth orchestra because of his talented fingers in pressing those flute tuts.

Kyung Soo who were gifted in the bow on his violin until he got so many fans in high school. He wasn't that good in speaking to new people but he grew comfortable with them all.

Huang Zitao with his charm in trumpet. He was a cheerful man with panda eyes and from China like Luhan. They knew each other because they were neighbors in school's dorm.

"What's up?" Another man rubbed his eyes and tried gain his conciousness despite the cheers in the dorm.

"We are going to Paris!!" Chanyeol hugged Yixing, the pianist as Yixing's eyes widened in shock.

"We made it?" He gasped in shock as Xiumin handed him his letter.

Yixing screamed as they froze in shock because it wasn't usual for this quiet man to yell like that. Chanyeol soon joined him as they jumped in happiness. Luhan was glad to see everyone would go there together.

"But guys," Kyung Soo cut the celebration and everyone went silent, "We must learn french or we'll be dead. English is a minimum since we're now trying to converse in english for... two months?"

"NOOO!" Tao shrieked as the cringed because of that only problem.

"So the fluent one?" Minseok asked as everybody pointed at Kyung Soo.

"I'm quite fluent," Luhan was glad that he paid attention on their french language course.

"That's why he could curse in english, The hell!" Chanyeol imitated Luhan as Kyung Soo smacked his head for not repeating it again.

"When will we go?" Yixing asked lazily as he flopped onto the couch again to sleep and Luhan stared at his letter.

"Uh guys. It said here, this midnight," Luhan said as everyone gasped in shock.

"Let's go packing! Move! Move!" Minseok commanded as everyone stormed to their dorm.

They rushed to pack all their clothes and also their books. Luhan shoved all his oboe books in his luggage and luckily they ended the packing in the evening. They showed up in the main lobby with their luggages and laughed to each other when they only brought many books instead of clothes.

What a nerd. But they don't care.

***

The night breeze started to tickle their uncovered hands. Yixing blew his hand to cast away the cold. They all now in a rented van, with Chanyeol on the front seat and the rest behind. They engulfed in silence excitement on the way to the airport near midnight.

"Let's go!!" Chanyeol boomed as they dragged their luggages to the department wing of the airport.

"Finally we are going to go," Tao sobbed as Luhan patted him on his back and Minseok squeezed Tao's hand reasuringly.

The stewardress talked to them and they went to the plane, leaving South Korea and the memories back there. Luhan stared at the night sky and felt lucky to spot some stars.

"Ge," Kyung Soo who sat beside him called as Luhan turned to face him.

"What is it, Soo?"

"Don't you know that the university accepted six other asians guy?"

"That will be great though," Luhan replied as Kyung Soo showed him the names.

"I take the words back," Luhan drifted his gaze from the list and stared outside.

"I know that one of them was messing up with you but we must prove him that we can survive," Kyung Soo's tough words made Luhan shocked.

He smiled knowing this little dongsaeng grew maturer. On the first time they met, the little boy shuttered on his words. But now he could manage it all. He thought that he could ran away...

Until he saw those name list.

***

The plane was flying high for hours and their feet were now numb. Chanyeol decided to walk around the plane to ease the pain. Yixing was already slept peacefully beside Minseok who watched the movie. Luhan saw Kyung Soo read his book. He then decided to stand up and relax his sore feet. Tao was sleeping and Luhan was glad to see it because he could freak out everytime in the plane and no one could calm him down until now. But he checked on Tao and found him still breathing.

He wander ahead and saw the passengers' activities. Sometimes he laughed mentally because some people did ridiculous things such as pulling a prank to each other. He saw a bunch of students, the pen to draw on their friend's sleeping face and laughed along. Suddenly he bumped into someone because the path between the seat was narrow.

"I'm sorry," Luhan said as he looked up and almost fainted.

"Luhan?"

"Yi-Yifan?" Luhan couldn't help but shock even he found out the name list from Kyung Soo and it seemed Yifan was shocked as well.

"What are you doing here?" Yifan asked with his friendly tone, a tone that different when he met someone new and Luhan started to cringe on his nice attitude.

How could he be so nice after all that happened?

"I'm going to Paris. Conservatoire," Luhan admitted and Yifan gasped.

"For real?!" He seemed happy and Luhan's heart ached everytime he saw him with his twinkling eyes under those intimidating eyebrows.

"Uh yes," Luhan tried to keep his voice steady.

"Well then see you in there. Maybe we are all sharing the same boarding house," Yifan said as Luhan almost shrieked of that thought.

"Okay then," Luhan managed to say as Yifan moved aside and Luhan went away faster than ever.

He bumped to another person because of his adrenaline rush of meeting his past made him clumsy. He looked up to say sorry and stunned.

In front of him was a man with perfect jaw lines, small lips, and eyes, which staring at him like he would murder someone. Luhan gulped at the atmosphere.

"I'm sorry," The boy said as Luhan almost gasped as the boy's lips curled up a little and passed him away.

Luhan never felt this awestruck before. His stomach growled because of the mental shock and he felt he was going to puke all over the floor. He stunned for seconds until he gained his conciousness back. Coffee, he needed that so he went back to his seat beside Kyung Soo and called the stewardress. He didn't notice when Kyung Soo looked at him in confusion.

"Hyung are you okay?" Kyung Soo asked but shocked when Luhan choked on his coffee and spilled it on his shirt.

"Now I'm not," Luhan sighed as he stared at the mess he clumsily made.

"It's there something bothers you?" Kyung Soo asked again and Luhan decided not to say anything beside...

"Nothing, Soo."

***

They all felt extremely tired while dragging their luggages outside the airport that day. Luhan's eyes widened when they stepped to the arrival gate. So many people there and the tension was different. Everyone lifted their head and stared to find a cab.

Paris, wow.

Their eyes sparkled and the jetlag soon vanished away. They stomped happily to the cab and Kyung Soo, in his fluent french told the driver to the boarding house. Luhan in the other cab, did the same successfully. Chanyeol tapped on his feet enthusiasticly. He loved this city already and Luhan chuckled to see him.

A big gate amazed them after they thanked the cabs. Minseok tried to search for any bell and Tao was the one who find it. Chanyeol was now carrying Yixing because the latter was sleeping heavily. Luhan took Yixing's luggage and Kyung Soo was the one who talked to the guard.

Suddenly they were distracted to two cabs which parked near their standing place. Luhan swore he could hear a sight glimpse of Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata in his head as the boys from the other cab went out with their luggages.

"Oh Luhan! Seems that we're in the same building!" Yifan called as Kyung Soo shot a horror gaze to him and turned to Luhan whose eyes widened in horror.

They all stepped inside and awed the building. It was vintage with all the brown walls and black railed windows. Luhan recognized the other boy that he met in the plane. But Yifan still distracted his mind. He kept wondering on how Yifan could pass the past and maybe he should confronted it and asked directly. He would do that. Besides, he was in Paris now. He realized that this was his new life and no one would distract him off track.

"Welcome!" A nice man greeted them and some of them jumped in shock because he spoke korean, for real.

"My name is Henry and I'm the one who will mentor you to get used in foreign dorm and conservatoire system. I'm majored in violin, and this is my last year of college. Let me show you the rooms!" He ended as they silently followed Henry to the building.

They stopped in the lobby and everyone gasped to see such a different interior ahead. It was all brown and maroon red and classic that Tao couldn't help but squeal. Kyung Soo glanced to the other six boys and noticed Yifan, but the rest was unknown. Luhan was excited and ready to embrace his new room.

"Henry!!" a voice heard as they turned to a girl with short hair that came down from the maroon stairs.

Everyone gasped when the girl clinged herself at Henry's body like a koala. But they shocked more when Henry laughed happily.

"What is it, Nodame?" Henry asked softly to the girl as the boys' jaw hung open to hear him talked in Japanese.

"Where's Chiakii?" The girl asked huskily.

"Oh he just came out and maybe not far from here! You can go get him!" Henry replied as the girl let go of him and stormed outside after shouted 'thank you' in French.

"Is she a parasite?" a boy asked as Luhan amazed his tanned skin and awesome figure of him and he turned aside just to find Kyung Soo eyed the boy who just asked.

"No she's a worm!" Henry laughed as everyone chuckled.

"The bass is coming!!" the door opened as someone walked in with a huge bass beside him.

"My baby!!" Chanyeol ran to hug his instrument as Luhan chuckled.

"So you are a bassist too!" Yifan went to get his instrument too.

"I'm Chanyeol and I like you!" Chanyeol offered his hands as Minseok shocked to see Chanyeol's outburst words.

"I like you too! I'm Yifan or Kris!" Kris shook hands with him and Henry cleared his throat.

Luhan turned to see everyone's shock gaze towards what happened with those bromance couple. Henry at last brought them upstairs.

"There is one room with piano and it is quite big and fits for two. I memorized your instrument and it listed that Zhang Yixing and Kim Junmyeon majored in piano," Henry began his explanation.

Yixing turned to see a man with white skin and the one named Junmyeon smiled and stepped ahead to him.

"Kim Junmyeon. Pianist. Nice to know you and hope we can be friends."

"Zhang Yixing," Yixing answered as Luhan tried to supress his laugh because the spoken boy is more than sleepy to answer again.

"Go discuss your arrangement room and told me the result. The rest beside this two can choose a single room. I must get going to Nodame before he broke Chiaki again," Henry smiled and waved goodbye as they stared at each other.

"Hello everyone, my name is Baekhyun!" The one as short as Kyung Soo introduced himself cheerfully.

"I'm Chanyeol!" Chanyeol's sudden outburst made Tao cringed.

"It's lame to introduce ourselves like this!" The curled up lips said as Luhan felt that he was going to say something great yet crazy.

"Let's go get dinner together! I'm Jongdae by the way!" Jongdae said as everyone again, turned to see each other and nodded.

"We should get ready then," Junmyeon said as everyone turned to choose their room.

Luhan cringed when he saw the boy he met stood in front a door next to his room. A violinist for sure, Luhan thought as the boy carried his violin and stepped into the room.

The room was in medium size and he was glad to see a window there. He knew that everything would be alright. Not bothering of unpacking, he threw himself to the bed and drowned to the dreamland.

***

Luhan dozed of and snapped his mind because Chanyeol awoke him hard. They all ended in several jetlag issues and Luhan couldn't be more moody than that.

He made sure to remember everyone that he knew. Starting from Yifan. He knew more than the others knew about him. But he didn't want to think about it and went away.

The second guy, Junmyeon just another definition of angel without wings. His aura was positive and Yixing went comfortable with him. He shocked to see Junmyeon handled Yixing's sleepy charasteristic well and realized all this time that he wasn't that patient to Yixing himself. He seemed smart in piano though, he could read it from his face.

Next, Jongdae, a definition of a brat. He was the same as Chanyeol, smarter a bit. Luhan could see oranges aura everywhere around him. He was bright like a sun. He wonder if Jongdae could study violin that serious despite his bratty acts about everything. Not to mention his sarcasm in his tone.

He shook his head in despair to define Byun Baekhyun. Sassy divaish and he suited in clarinet because he was noisy as it. But when he saw Chanyeol strolling along with Baekhyun and laughed much despite they just met for hours, he was happy as well.

Luhan side to side with Minseok until he saw the boy, Kim Jongin, the cellist. He didn't know why but this boy wasn't that calm and cello, hey, cello was big and delicate. Luhan studied cello once and he felt that he didn't that capable to attach with those calming aura from a cello. Maybe he should see him play his cello sometimes.

The last and the interesting one. Oh Sehun. This boy was attractive and he couldn't keep his attention away since they met in the plane. According to the laugh he shared with Jongin and Tao (who were unusually friendly to each other), he wasn't that stern.

"How about this place?" Jongdae pointed at a restaurant.

"Great!" Chanyeol exclaimed.

"Let's go eat! I'm starving!" Baekhyun stormed to that restaurant and everybody followed hesistantly because they were hungry as well.

"No. no I don't understand this," Tao gave up reading the menu as Yifan chuckled.

"This is quite hard," Minseok admitted.

"I can't read and speak well yet," Baekhyun and Jongdae put their menu, surrender too.

"Okay, so who's fluent in this?" Jongin suddenly asked as his friends pointed at Junmyeon and Yifan while the other group pointed to Kyung Soo and Luhan.

"Okay, pay attention and I will explain," Junmyeon took the menu and with the help of the fluents, they could order properly.

Luhan acknowledged Junmyeon but Yifan, he knew that this boy was from Canada and spoke English as well. But still why could he forget the past?

The dinner was nice with Jongdae's lame jokes and Baekhyun's funny attitude. Everyone blended well and Luhan even cringed to see Jongin flirted with Kyung Soo silently through eye contacts or such. Chanyeol's eyes sparkled everytime he stared at Baekhyun and he even shocked to see Minseok laughed the loudest when Jongdae told them crappy jokes. Luhan wasn't that easy to please. He glanced at the boy named Sehun who talked casually with Suho and Yixing. Yixing seemed alive and Luhan couldn't be more grateful than that.

Yifan laughed along with Chanyeol and Baekhyun. He smiled knowing that everything didn't affect him. Luhan should be strong too and he would be.

"Tomorrow is a big day," Jongdae refered to the new term of university.

"I hope we can keep up with the lesson in french," Tao whined in despair.

"Hope so. Let's go home and rest," Junmyeon decided as they ended chatting and stood up to go back to the boarding house.

***

Mozart's Oboe Concerto made Luhan opened his eyes. His alarm made him alive again. Okay, today was calming. So calm.

"Hyung you are going to late!" A deep voice heard as Luhan stormed to the bathroom, tripping to the boxes that he didn't bother to unpack soon.

"We are going first!" Kyung Soo's voice slipped to Luhan's eardrums as he quickly took a bath.

"Oh no!!" Luhan wore his pants and grabbed his book and his oboe case.

He opened the door and someone beside him also rushed to lock the door. They both exchanged glance and ran to catch up with the others. First class was music analyzation. He didn't have much energy to ask why the hell Sehun, the violinist ended in the same class as him.

"Je suis désolé (I'm sorry)," Luhan quickly said as he stormed inside the class and Sehun bowed a little too.

They sat beside each other and the lecturer started to the music. Some orchestral pieces were given to be analyzed by their knowledge in music history, music composer and the background of the music itself. Sehun stunned to receive all the new lessons while Luhan tried to talk and analyze along with the other students. He was glad to keep up with his french course and he understood some pieces.

Luhan looked at Sehun who almost fell asleep along the class. He kicked Sehun's leg and the younger jolted up and glared at his surroundings.

"And how about this man? You sure don't talk much, do you?" The lecturer spoke in french towards Sehun and Luhan facepalmed himself because he knew that Sehun didn't even pay attention to all the music.

"Tchaikovsky fourth symphony consists of four movements. Andante sostenuto, Andantino in modo di canzona, Scherzo Pizzicato ostinato in Allegro, and the Finale in Allegro con fuoco. Tchaikovsky dedicated this piece to his best friend Nadezhda von Meck. First movement filled with bassoon, low brass, woodwinds, and trumpets. The second involved oboe with its melancholy melody. Third filled with strings in pizzicato mode and joined with woodwinds. The fourth is the louder part. I can say that much," Sehun ended the analyzation as Luhan's jaw hung open because of Sehun's quite fluent in French.

Again, Luhan shocked as he stared at everybody who gawked at Sehun because of his blunt tone. He acknowledged that smart boy. He just listened for seconds and knew that much about the piece. The lecturer swept him off and moved to another song. Luhan shocked again to see Sehun started to get sleepy again.

"Wake up," Luhan hissed as Sehun only moved an inch.

"The class is now finish. You can go to the next class or your orchestra practice," The lecturer ended the class as Luhan sighed in relief and woke Sehun up.

They moved in silence to the orchestra practice and again, trapped with Sehun.

"I don't know that you are that good," Luhan began to talk.

"I'm sleepy," Sehun murmured as they reached for the hall and opened the door.

Sehun's eyes widened a bit when he saw many students already sat in their place according to the instrument. Sehun spotted Jongdae sat beside Kyung Soo and rushed to get the seat beside them. Luhan saw Minseok and the puppy Baekhyun in the woodwind side and moved aside to meet them.

"So how's the first late comer?" Minseok greeted as Baekhyun chuckled because he noticed Luhan's exhaustion.

"Not bad. Can converse well. That Sehun is smart anyway," Luhan commented.

"He is always smart. That's why he is the youngest here. Four years younger than you. He learns faster than everyone," Baekhyun said.

"What?!" Luhan shocked to know that Sehun was that young even he knew Jongin possessed the same talent in such a young age too (courtesy to Kyung Soo who told him everything about Jongin).

Tao came and spotted that everyone was now looking at his gege who shocked by the attention. He quickly sat beside the trumpet players and tuned his trumpet, catching everyone's attention. They soon realized about the tuning. The recent concertmaster, the famous tall girl, Victoria Song from China. Luhan knew about this girl even he was an oboist because she scored the best in some competitions and even played Carmen's Sarasate. He was glad to meet such a famous people in this orchestra.

Luhan looked up to see Chanyeol talked well with Yifan in bassist section. He nodded to Tao who responsed with a smile, silently thanking him for diverting the attention. Luhan stared at Jongin who smiled at him and Kyung Soo looked at Luhan too. He didn't spot Yixing and Junmyeon because they were both pianist. But he wished to collaborate with them someday.

"Welcome everybody!!" A cheerful voice heard as they turned up to see a fine young man with cornish long hair stepped onto the conductor's place.

"The hell," Chanyeol's boomed voice heard as they all turned to the bassist who shot a creepy smile.

"Okay, new hair model in advertisement," Minseok whispered as Luhan chuckled.

"Let's go to the first piece of this year, Tchaikovsky Fourth Symphony!" The conductor said as Luhan gasped in shock because hell, the oboe part was important beside the others too.

"First! My name is Lee Hyukjae but I want you to call me Eunhyuk!" The conductor greeted again as they all couldn't be more shock to see this eccentric man.

"Yeaah!" Chanyeol cheered the loudest as Yifan laughed because the cheerful aura in the room even Victoria seemed to drown in this conductor's persona.

"I see that the man over there is excited!" Eunhyuk pointed at Chanyeol.

"Park Chanyeol is on duty, sir!" Chanyeol cheered as Eunhyuk rolled his hand happily.

"Let's start everyone! I know that you are all the best in grades!" Eunhyuk winked at Victoria as Luhan rolled his eyes.

ert.

The music began from the woodwind section. Luhan knew this piece well. He could play this accurately at his part. They soon ended the play beautifully as Eunhyuk closed the note and stopped.

"Well done everyone!" Eunhyuk smiled and went outside as they gasped in shock because he vanished so quickly.

"Is he a ghost?" Jongin asked as they packed their instrument.

"Should we go back? I'm so hungry," Tao said as Minseok nodded.

"Okay let's go," Minseok stood up and the rest gathered themselves near the exit door.

They were accustomed in each other because they were asian and didn't have many friends beside those in chamber groups. But Luhan didn't mind, being with those dorkies made his stress flew away. First week went well. Luhan's headache haunted in the second week.

He awoke in that Monday with pain in his head. But due to his schedule, he pushed his body to move.

"Luhan hyung! Hurry!" Chanyeol's voice heard as Luhan stomped to wear his pants.

He grabbed his bag and oboe and rushed outside.

Just to face the ground when everybody already ran outside.

Sehun opened the door upon the noises he heard downstairs. He sighed and locked his door and wanted to go too until he shrieked in shock to see someone fainted in front of him.

"Hyung!" Sehun called for everyone but they already rushed to conservatory.

His eyes moved rapidly because he didn't know what to do. Suddenly someone else opened the door harshly.

"Gyaaaa!!" a scream heard as Sehun jolted in shock to see Nodame who looked at Luhan too.

"Why is he here?" Nodame asked in japanese as Sehun flinched because he couldn't understand.

"Uuuh," Sehun tried to waved his hand to signal that everything was okay.

"What's happening here? Luhan-ssi!" Henry went upstairs.

"Is he sick?" Nodame scooted closer to stare at Luhan as Sehun shocked to see how close was that.

"Nodame. He is just fainted. Sehun, can you help me carrying him back to his room?" Henry spoke in two languages as Sehun nodded and put his violin and bag.

"He is beautiful," Nodame said as Sehun stared at Henry for translation.

"She said that Luhan is beautiful," Henry said and Sehun dazed at Luhan.

Those doe-eyes and plump small lips. Why didn't he realize it before? The charm he saw every morning and when they met for orchestra practice. He often heard oboe in the orchestra and it felt calm. Hearing those high notes and soothing melody.

"Sehun?" Henry called as Sehun gained his conciousness and lifted Luhan.

So light. Do he eat?

Sehun sprinted to Luhan's bed and put him on it softly. He touched Luhan's forehead and threw back his hand because hell, it's hot! He ran downstairs to search for Henry and found him chatting with Nodame and the other man beside the girl.

"I'm sorry to interupt. Henry-ssi, where is the kitchen?" Sehun asked in Korean as he kinda intimidated with the new man he saw.

"Oh Sehun! This is Chiaki!" Henry introduced them both as Sehun's imaginary bulb in his head .

"Chi-Chiaki?! That conductor?!" Sehun gasped in shock and Henry nodded.

"So who is this?" The man asked Henry in japanese.

"This is Oh Sehun, a violinist from Korea," Henry introduced as Sehun bowed 90 degrees.

"Ravi de vous rencontrer (Nice to meet you)," Sehun tried to greet in french in hope that he understood.

"Nice to meet you too," Chiaki spoke in English as Sehun flinched a little.

"Uh nice to see you talk in English. Excuse me but I should go," Sehun bowed again and walked to the kitchen.

"Seems like a good kid. Hope I can hear him play his violin," Chiaki said to Henry

"He is the youngest between them all," Henry replied.

"Wow I'm sure to see him in school with everyone else."

"You should, Chiaki," Henry smiled.

Sehun took his phone and called his hyung to inform Luhan's condition.

Meanwhile in the cafetaria, Minseok was eating with everybody as Suho's phone rang out of the blue.

"Hello? Sehun?... What?!" Suho stood up from the chair as Baekhyun grabbed his phone and put on loudspeaker.

"Hello? Suho hyung?" Sehun's voice heard as they shocked to hear it.

"What happened, Sehun?" Chanyeol asked as Sehun recognized his deep voice.

"Luhan hyung is sick and I want to ask you to tell our absence," Sehun replied.

"Is he okay now?" Minseok asked.

"Yeah I gave him warm water and his temperature is quite down now. But I don't know how to make porridge," Sehun seemed like blushed in saying this because he never allowed to step in the kitchen before.

"I will make it as soon as we get home," Kyung Soo said as Sehun replied with an 'okay' and ended the call.

"That's why he dozed off these days. He never eat properly!" Tao realized.

"I caught him off in the orchestra," Jongin refered to Luhan's sign of exhaustion.

"Hope we can go back soon," Jongdae frowned upon the schedule they had.

"We should go take a look after him," Yifan said as everyone nodded.

Sehun sighed and watched Luhan again. He was sweating hard and grumbled in his sleep. Sehun didn't know how to calm Luhan down until he remembered his trait.

Violin, that would do.

Sehun stormed to get his violin and stood up near Luhan's bed. He lifted the violin and Thais's Meditation echoed in the room.

***

Chiaki ended his discussion about music with Henry and Nodame when they heard a violin upstairs.

"Woaah who play that?" Nodame's eyes sparkled as she clinged her arm to Chiaki's.

"Maybe it's Sehun!" Henry smiled.

"His techniques is extremely good," Chiaki commented.

"I agree!" Henry replied, smiling as they went silent to hear fully.

***

Luhan felt like flying in his mind upon the notes he heard in mind. Someone flowing this notes straight to his brain and heart. He felt calm but still, he could feel his burning temperature. He gained conciousness and tried to open his eyes.

A figure beside his bed made him tried to wake up fully and sit on the bed slowly. His eyes widened to see Sehun, closing his eyes while playing his violin in such a delicate way. He knew this piece, Thais's Meditation. A wet fabric distracted his sense and Luhan took it from his forehead. He checked on his condition and discovered the fever. The notes soon took all his attention again. He glanced at Sehun who moving his fingers upon the strings, feeling calm all of sudden. Meditation was long but he didn't care as long as he could see Sehun played it live in front of him.

"Hyung?" Sehun waved his bow in front of Luhan's face as he jolted because Sehun already finished.

"So-Sorry. That was good. Meditation, right?" Luhan composed himself to calm as Sehun nodded and touched the latter's forehead.

Luhan shocked and taken aback by Sehun's action and Sehun retreated to. The younger sighed in relief and announced that the temperature decreasing than before. Luhan couldn't be more thankful to Sehun.

"You miss all the classes because of me. Sorry and thank you," Luhan finally said.

"Don't worry. We absent together," Sehun said as he took the bowl and went to change the water.

"Sehun," Luhan called before Sehun went outside.

"Yeah?"

"Thank you," Luhan smiled as Sehun's lips curled up upon the endearing smile Luhan gave.

"Your welcome. Hyungs will be home soon. Better prepare for their nagging," Sehun said as Luhan couldn't agree more to his suggestion.

Luhan rested his body again on the bed and realized that he should take a bath because his body was sweating. He stood up and wanted to go to his bathroom when someone opened the door.

"Yaaah! No bath until the fever gone away!" Baekhyun came inside with everyone and he pushed Luhan down to the bed again.

"That's the effect of not eating properly," Tao scolded.

"Tao, he is your hyung," Yifan said as Tao quickly apologized and Luhan chuckled because it was funny to see the worry Tao.

"How are you now?" Minseok sat on Luhan's bed as Suho followed him beside.

"I'll go make the porridge!" Kyung Soo rushed to the kitchen.

"I'll go help!" Yixing and Jongin shouted at the same time but Chanyeol quickly strangled Jongin away.

"Don't ever let Jongin enter the kitchen, again. Ever!" Baekhyun bursted as everyone thought of the worst that could happen (esp Suho's horror stories about Jongin in the kitchen that they shared in dinner).

"But little Sehun did a good job!" Jongdae patted Sehun's shoulder as the youngest swatted away.

"Yeah he looks better," Suho commented.

"Thanks guys. I'm fine anyway. Thanks to Sehun," Luhan glanced at Sehun who nodded but looked away from Luhan's gaze.

Kyung Soo and Yixing came back with the delicious porridge as everyone drooled over it. They decided to order a take out so they could eat with Luhan.

"Woah a party!" Henry peeked inside Luhan's room and they was kinda shock to see him there.

"Henry! Come inside!" Luhan invited.

"How are you by the way? Oh I bring you a fan," Henry opened the door more and Nodame waved enthusiacticly behind him.

"Hello! You are beautiful!" Nodame said in english to Luhan as they gasped in shock because Luhan's eyes widened and Minseok knew it wasn't a good sign.

"I'm. Handsome!" Luhan's sudden outburst made six of them, who didn't live with Luhan before as well as Nodame and Henry gasped.

"Gomene (Sorry)," Nodame looked sad and Luhan quickly recovered from his wrath.

"No! It's okay!" Luhan quickly said as they both came inside.

"Does he always like that?" Jongdae whispered to Tao.

"Don't ever call hyung pretty or beautiful," Tao suggested as everyone nodded (even Henry listened to it too).

Luhan felt better after sharing laughs and jokes with everyone. He found Nodame cheerful yet bubbly girl. But still, he still needed to thank Sehun for his kindness to miss every classes. They both at their scholarship program and attendance was important. He didn't know how to pay back to Sehun.

They left to take a bath and clean theirselves before practicing. Luhan didn't mind to hear Sehun's violin echoed beside his bedroom. He even could hear Jongin's cello or Suho's piano. They all played well. He loves his oboe so much and decided that practice a little wouldn't hurt. Besides, he was bored due to this sickness.

He didn't know what to play beside his favorite song, Gavotte. Simple yet cheerful notes made him felt alive again. He even heard Tao played this song on trumpet and he loved it so much even recorded it. When the song ended, he felt something knocked his bedroom door. He went suspicious and opened it fast just to see Sehun stunned in front of his bedroom door.

"Uhh, hello? I suppose that everyone is practicing right now?" Luhan tried to ease the nervousness.

"Just hearing Gavotte," Sehun said as he touched his nape, signalling of his nervousness too.

"You like that song too?" Luhan smiled.

"Yeah. So do you like it too?" Sehun replied.

"I love it actually," Luhan beamed.

"I should go back to practice," Sehun said as Luhan nodded and watched as Sehun walked to his room beside him.

Luhan smiled as he heard Sehun's violin playing some songs. He adored Sehun's violin as he adored the person. He didn't seem so quiet after he heard him spoke today. They barely knew each other well and besides, he was older than Sehun. That wouldn't work well. He needed to keep his pace in achieving his dreams to become a successful oboist.

The next morning went well as Luhan yawned and opened his eyes, discovering the fact that he got up earlier and used this chance to prepare well. Oh, his fever was gone and he was happy. Thanks to everyone especially Sehun and Kyung Soo also Yixing with their porridge. Maybe he should buy them something to eat for tonight.

He went to his class again and felt an ease feelings. Some students actually tried to talk to him. Some of them even asked him to a party or a date. Girls and boys seemed to notice his beautiful manly appearance. Time went by and they studied almost a month there. Luhan's feelings towards Yifan was gone as the wind flew by.

But another came by as he flew by the notes.

That figure caught him off guard since the fever incident.

Oh Sehun.

He noticed Sehun everywhere now. In their class, in the orchestra practice. In boarding house. Everywhere. He tried to divert his gaze away but ended to always stared at Sehun for two or three seconds everytime they gathered around with their friends.

"Lu? Are you okay?" Minseok asked as he entered Luhan's room just to find him spaced out in front of the music sheets.

"No I'm not," Luhan leaned down to his bed as Minseok brought his flute too inside.

"Sehun right?" Minseok asked as Luhan almost fell down from his bed and left Minseok laughed out loud before Luhan shushed him quickly.

"He is a distraction, Minseok," Luhan groaned.

"Are you distracted that much? The school's festival opened the special audition for soloist to play along with the orchestra," Minseok replied as Luhan's jaw hung open.

"For real?! You auditioned too?!"

"For flute of course," Minseok winked.

"I need to sign up too!!" Luhan jumped in excitement.

"The others are anticipate it too. Jongin even wanted to get his position as a cellist. The violinist are practicing hard these days," Minseok informed.

"So from Kyung Soo, Jongdae, and... Uh... Sehun. Only one will get the chance?" Luhan asked.

"Their competitors are many than us as the woodwind player. Not only them."

"But one of them will get it for sure."

"And you do hope that Sehun will get that," Minseok began to tease Luhan again.

"Stop about those strings. What piece for oboe?" Luhan excitedly asked.

"Your favorite, Mozart's Oboe Concerto first movement," Minseok ended as Luhan's eyes sparkled with flames.

"I WILL GET IT FOR SURE!!!" Luhan's burst made Minseok threw down because of the fire aura.

"What?! What?!" Jongdae heard Luhan's spirit as he peeked inside.

"I WILL GET THAT SOLOOO!" Luhan began again as Minseok shooed everyone away and left Luhan in his room.

"What happened with him?" Suho asked as Yixing walked beside him.

"He's on fire," Minseok laughed as Tao understood and laughed too.

"How about piano?" Chanyeol showed up with Baekhyun beside him.

"Tchaikovsky all the waaay!" Suho cheered as Yixing giggled beside him.

"Yo what's up with those cheers from Luhan's room?" Yifan came along with Sehun and Kyung Soo.

"Is he okay?" Sehun asked as he heard Luhan before.

"He's on fire, don't worry. He wants to participate in soloist audition for oboist and it happened to be his favorite piece so that's the result," Minseok explained.

"So I can see Luhan hyung's burst again," Kyung Soo laughed.

Suddenly another door opened as Jongin came out with a face like zombie. Everyone shrieked and Jongin swayed near Kyung Soo and rested his head on the shorter's shoulder.

"Jongin! I told you to get some sleep," Kyung Soo said as Jongin hummed in response.

"Zombie effect," Chanyeol explained the confused look on Minseok and Yixing also Jongdae who nodded.

"Come on go to sleep," Kyung Soo helped Jongin to his room as everyone stared in amusement.

"Do they?" Jongdae smirked as he pointed at those two.

"Maybe," Yixing stated as everyone smiled.

"I WILL DEFEAT THEM ALL!" Luhan suddenly showed up in front of them as Sehun shocked to see his hyung's outburst.

Luhan stared at everyone left who watched him in shock. His eyes landed on Sehun who wore a stunned face towards his outburst. His face went red as he cleared his throat.

"I'm sorry," Luhan murmured as Chanyeol patted him on his back.

"That's actually cute!" Baekhyun chooed as Yifan laughed to see Luhan's special side again after all this time.

Sehun laughed with them as he stared at Luhan who flushed in embarassment.

"Don't worry hyung, you are cute," With that word from Sehun's mouth, Luhan fainted, again.

***

The birds chirped happily at this morning and one man left behind those because of his sleepiness.

"The audition is today!" Minseok announced as Luhan jolted up and stormed to the bathroom.

He was going to win it for sure!

They went cheerfully to the conservatory and after those respectable classes, they gathered on the front of the hall to watch the audition.

"Good luck!" Minseok hugged Luhan as Sehun was kinda shock to see this close relationship.

Luhan smiled as Sehun noticed the black circle around his doe-eyes and he knew. He listened to Luhan's oboe every night. He was practicing diligently.

"Hyung?" Sehun suddenly called as Minseok tugged everyone to go away for a bit.

"Yeah?"

Suddenly Luhan's eyes widened as he felt a strong arm pulled him into a hug.

"Good luck. Play from your heart. After this, get some sleep," Sehun said as Luhan nodded.

Luhan stormed to the hall as everyone gawked at Sehun.

"What?" Sehun asked as he noticed their shimmering eyes.

"Lover," Baekhyun commented as Sehun blushed.

"No I just supported him," Sehun replied quickly to defend himself.

"Your feelings is mutual I guess," Yixing smiled as Sehun gasped.

"Shh don't blurt it out. Let him know by himself," Chanyeol winked.

"Should we go inside to see him?" Yifan asked as they realized and stormed to the entrance door.

Luhan shocked to hear some crowds in the audience seat. He memorized all the part well. He practiced every night and day.

Play from your heart.

Luhan smiled upon Sehun's words. Mozart's Concerto. He loved it as always. Like he loves Sehun.

Love? Sehun?

"Xi Luhan," Luhan jolted as he heard the judges called him.

He stared ahead and met Sehun's smile. Everything in his mind lifted. His stress vanished away. He wanted to play this for Sehun. Like this music's aura, pink. The orchestra started to play and he waited for his turn.

Sehun stared at the boy on the stage. He stunned when Luhan started to play. Everyone beside him gasped in amazement. Sehun couldn't avert his gaze. The soothing voice of oboe echoed in the room. He could see Luhan smiled a little. The doe-eyes boy closed his eyes as he felt the music, letting the melody drowned to everyone's eardrums especially Sehun's.

"Pink!" Sehun turned to Baekhyun who sat beside him.

"Pink?" Sehun asked as Baekhyun smiled.

"Don't you see? This music is pink. He loves someone!" Baekhyun replied as Sehun turned to Luhan and their eyes met.

Luhan ended the performance with claps from the audience. Their recital time was close after that audition and Luhan went silent for days because of the result.

It was another day when they met up to music analyzation class.

"Hyung?" Sehun called.

"Yeah?"

"Are you okay?" Sehun asked again as Luhan flinched a little.

"Hmm I guess," Luhan answered shortly.

"Go out with me today," Sehun braved himself to say that as Luhan's jaw hung open.

"The class ended here," The lecturer said as the other students stood up and left.

"It's-It's a yes," Luhan replied as Sehun smiled and they walked together to the orchestra practice.

They stopped when they saw many students gathered around the entrance door. Some students shouted about 'results' as Luhan's legs went weak. Sehun quickly helped his hyung to stand up. They spotted their friends in the crowd and they cheered with the other players. Jongdae spotted them but he motioned Sehun and Luhan to see it themselves.

"I will see it for yo-," Sehun wanted to go but Luhan hold him.

"No, let us see it ourselves," Luhan said as Sehun wrapped Luhan's body in his and they went through the crowd.

Sehun's eyes widened to see his name as the soloist for one piece as he searched for Luhan's name.

Luhan was there, top list. He even defeated the other students in another instrument and stood with the best score to perform at the end of their first year. He even beat Sehun.

Suddenly the entrance door opened harshly as Eunhyuk, the eccentric conductor broke the crowd apart.

"Is there anyone here named Xi Luhan?" Eunhyuk asked as everyone pointed at Luhan who was still in Sehun's embrace.

"You are genius!!" Eunhyuk pulled Luhan and hugged him tight, earning envy glares and shock gaze from Luhan's friend.

"Sehun won't like that," Jongdae concluded as they nodded in agreement.

"Let go you ert!" Sehun pulled Luhan to his side as Luhan blushed because Sehun cared about him.

"Overprotective boyfriend you have, huh?" Eunhyuk winked as Sehun blushed in instant.

"Yes I am and don't even lay a single hand on him," Sehun braved himself to say that as Luhan gasped in shock.

"Okay and Luhan! Give your best for the solo performance. You beat all those instruments!" Eunhyuk then announced the practice as he entered the hall.

"So you are official!" Chanyeol applaused in happiness as Minseok caught a weird atmosphere on Luhan.

"We are not," Luhan went away as his friends stunned and Sehun burst into tears.

"I didn't mean to say that," Sehun sobbed as Suho quickly hugged him and Minseok went to chase Luhan.

"Luhan wait!" Minseok caught up with Luhan who cried too as they stopped.

"He's too young! Minseok!" Luhan let his rage went out between his cry.

"Age is just a number, Luhan. Give him a chance to understand you! You must recover from the past!" Minseok's words stabbed to Luhan's mind.

He was silently watched Sehun all this time. He kept denying his feelings. Sehun was always there for him. Even they rarely talked, their presence itself was enough.

"Now go back and finish it like a man! I heard that he ask you out and please, go out with him," Minseok said again as Luhan wiped his tears and hugged his bestfriend.

"Thank you, Minseok," Luhan whispered.

"That's what friends for, Luhan," Minseok replied as Luhan ran to see Sehun again.

Luhan found the empty lobby in front of the hall as he spotted Yifan who waited for him.

"Sehun?" Luhan asked.

"I'm glad that you find someone who finally attract you. Sehun was back to our house. Suho brought him there. The others went to their classes," Yifan replied.

"Thanks Yifan. I'm going," Luhan stormed to their boarding house in instant.

Suho put Sehun on the couch in the living room and caressed his hair softly, trying to calm his maknae down.

"You really love Luhan, right?" Suho asked carefully as Sehun nodded.

Luhan bursted into the room and shocked to see Suho hugged Sehun. Suho quickly stood up without bothering Sehun who gasped to see Luhan there. The guardian stormed to Luhan and grabbed his wrist, pulling him closer.

"I forgive you this time. But next, if I see Sehun cry, you will know who your opponent is," Suho threatened but then he hugged Luhan before he went away.

"Sehun I'm sorry," Luhan quickly said as Sehun stood up to face him.

"No I'm the one who shouldn't say that before. You are not my boyfriend," Sehun murmured.

"Then, make me yours," Luhan tip-toed and kissed Sehun as the younger's eyes widened when he let go.

"Hyu-hyung?" Sehun blushed and melted because of Luhan's soft lips.

"I want to know you more, Oh Sehun," Luhan admitted ,"I'm too drown in my own world to realize that it was you who attract me. I'm denying but not anymore. I want to be with you."

"Is this a dream?" Sehun shocked as Luhan kissed him again, longer than before.

Sehun replied the kiss and pulled Luhan closer. They moved in sync and understood each other. The kiss explained everything. Soon they ended on the couch with Luhan still on Sehun. They devoured all their feelings in the kiss. Sehun loved it when Luhan his hair and Luhan couldn't be more happy to feel Sehun's love. Luhan's heart beat faster when he felt Sehun's arm wrapped his body closer to him.

"Ehem," They both froze and jumped in shock to see Chiaki, Nodame, and Henry stood across them.

"Sorry," Luhan murmured as Sehun bowed because he shocked and couldn't talk.

"Don't be!" Henry cheered.

"Just congratulation," Chiaki laughed as Nodame giggled.

"One handsome, one beautiful," Nodame said in English as Sehun gasped to hear the forbidden word.

"Yaaah! I'm not bea-," Luhan wanted to brag and stopped when Sehun kissed him again.

"Don't be angry to Nodame, okay? How about the nice coffee?" Sehun calmed Luhan as Henry sighed in relief.

"Fine, let's go, Sehunnie," Luhan smiled as they waved goodbye to those three.

"Kids these days," Henry chuckled.

"You don't say that they're gay! How if they disturb me?!" Chiaki shouted as Nodame hugged him like a koala.

"Nodame is here to protect youuu~!"

"You got a great bodyguard," Henry laughed as Chiaki rolled his eyes and went away with Nodame attached to him.

***

"Hurry up everyone! It's the last day before the summer holiday and today's our orchestra debuut!" Jongdae shrieked as everyone ran all over the place to prepare everything and wore the suit.

"Wow everyone dressed so well," Chanyeol praised.

"Eyeliner!" Baekhyun ran to attach the eyeliner as they limited the amount on their eyes when he drew it.

They walked along with Nodame and Henry to the conservatory and eager to meet Chiaki who promised to come too. They all headed to the backstage and the piano would began first. All the participants sweating hard and Yixing went really quiet. They all gave Yixing the support he needed and hugged him. Suho looked calmer but his dongsaeng knew that he was nervous.

"You can do this," Yifan said as he hugged Yixing.

"Good luck!" They all gathered around Suho and Yixing before they went to the stage.

Suho and Yixing suddenly hold each other's hand as everyone gasped in shock.

"I don't know about that," Jongdae whispered to Baekhyun who giggled like a fangirl.

"I knew it already," Chanyeol grinned happily and Luhan smiled.

Mozart's Sonata in D major for two pianos echoed in the room as Nodame and Chiaki smiled.

"We played this before!" Nodame recognized and Chiaki nodded.

"They blend well. Do they together now?" Chiaki asked to Henry.

"Yes maybe. I see them together much in the dorm, spending their time to deal with partitures together," Henry replied.

"Love it!" Nodame cheekily smiled and clinged to Chiaki who chuckled in happiness.

The audience gave standing applause as Suho and Yixing bowed before they went back to the backstage. Their friends congratulated them merrily. Suho couldn't help but smile and kissed Yixing in front of them. Luhan was glad to see everyone happy. But after this, the orchestra would perform.

Luhan saw that everyone was nervous as he was. Sehun patted his back and whispered some good luck words. Eunhyuk gathered everyone in the backstage right before they entered the stage.

"Okay everyone! You practiced hard and today we'll play Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony and Mozart's Oboe Concerto featured our sweet Xi Luhan! Everyone please applause to support Luhan!" Eunhyuk said as Sehun clapped the loudest along with Luhan's friend as he blushed.

The MC started to call for the first piece and everyone began to enter the stage. Luhan's eyes sparkled to see Suho and Yixing who smiled upon them. He turned his head to every directions to see his friends.

Chanyeol and Yifan stood side by side and ready with their bass. He turned aside to find Minseok and Baekhyun who winked at him. Jongin caught his vision as he chuckled to see him grinned like crazy. Tao jumped a little on his seat and Baekhyun tried to calm him down. His gaze moved to violin sections and Jongdae winked too. Kyung Soo let out his heart shaped smile and Luhan nodded, understanding the excitement.

Then the one in his heart, Sehun.

They stared at each other oftenly when they played. They didn't need words, just music who gather their feelings. First piece ended well and the seat arrangement was changing again. Luhan was nervous more than ever. He beat all the freshman to get this solo position and with his friends beside him, he knew he could do it.

Soon the second piece was echoing in the hall with Luhan beside the conductor. Everyone paid attention to the new spotlight that night. Luhan dedicated this piece to his friends and Sehun.

Sehun watched closely and played the beginning of the concerto, waiting for Luhan to play. Soon the oboe filled the room with joyful. Up and down notes made everyone drowned in happiness. Sehun's eyes widened when he saw what Baekhyun saw before.

The room turned pink.

Sehun smiled to feel Luhan's music in his mind and heart. He knew in instant that Luhan loved him that much. When it grew more flowing and reached the song's clomax, Sehun could feel that Luhan also dedicated this song to his friends. He diverted his gaze to the violinist, seeing Kyung Soo and Jongdae who played in relief. Jongin with his graceful aura. The woodwind's Minseok, Baekhyun, and Tao. The bassist Chanyeol and Yifan.

He even glanced to the audience and saw Suho teared up beside Yixing. He owed Suho much because he always took care of him all this time. As for Yixing, he knew that Yixing was smart and talented in piano, just like Suho. He saw Chiaki, Nodame, and Henry who watched in awe. Especially Chiaki's flabbergasted impression to the conductor who happened to be like his crazy conductor he met before.

They all blended in one music, one song.

Eunhyuk put his baton down as the music ended. Luhan sighed in relief as he shook hands with Eunhyuk who looked to proud at him. The audience gave their standing applause and Luhan smiled in happiness. He looked aside and Sehun clapped the loudest as he chuckled.

He knew that his future would be fine with everyone beside him.

He loves Sehun, and he was glad to know that Sehun loves him too.

-The End-
