[fill] Make a Heaven out of Hell (4/5); Luhan/Xiumin

[anonymous]

By the next Monday, the office is washed over by an odd silence that isn’t punctuated by Luhan’s daily worship of a certain soccer player. Being the ever-caring co-worker, Kyungsoo stalks to his Chinese colleague’s cubicle and checks up on him.

“Are you okay?”

Luhan’s right hand is holding a pen, pointing it down to a stack of assignments but he’s staring off to a distance, a wistful and faraway look on his face.

Kyungsoo furrows his brown in concern. “Luhan?”

He responses this time but his reflective gaze remains. “Don’t you just see yourself in him sometimes?”

“Uh…” Kyungsoo figures ‘him’ probably refers to the only thing Luhan talks about so he answers, “Kim Minseok? Not really?”

“No, no.” Luhan finally looks at him and the dreamy look on his face dissipates. “I mean in him. Like literally in him.”

“…”

“What the fuck.”

Luhan ignores the negative reaction and continues, “I really want to try his macaroni.”

“I hope you actually mean his cooking and not an insinuation of his dick.”

Joonmyun floats by them at this point with a blinding smile and exclaims, “Good news, Luhan! Mr Kim will be back on Wednesday, so you can stop relieving his lessons soon.”

The department head gives Luhan an encouraging pat on the back and strolls off, muttering words of encouragement to passing colleagues (“Nice use of fonts in your slides!” “I love the way you mark!”).

Kyungsoo swears he hears Symphony No.5 playing in the background as Luhan drops to his knees, raises both his arms and yells “NOOOOOOOOOO!”

“Class,” Luhan announces, regarding the class forlornly. “Mr Kim will be back on Wednesday so I won’t be seeing you anymore.”

The class breaks out into noises of pity and reluctance and Luhan discreetly glances at Minseok to see if he has such reaction. However, he is met with disappointment when Minseok merely sits there and looks on emotionlessly, mindlessly twirling a pen with his right hand.

Luhan sighs, “So I guess this is what Lysander means by ‘the course of true love never did run smooth’.

“There’ll always be obstacles in your path, people will always cockblock you from the love of your life. It’s so near, yet so far.”

The class exchange confused looks with each other. A girl raises her hand. “Teacher, are you sure you’re still talking about the book?”

Luhan ignores her as he goes on.
