You need a ring to propose to him (part 2)
(part 1)
*
The rest of the weekend Chanyeol spends stressing all over the place.
He keeps on trying to contact Luhan, but with no effect. He calls all their friends but it seems like Luhan doesn't want to talk with anyone.
The boy doesn't even talk with Yixing and they live at the same place. Both Kyuhyun and Zhoumi can't reach to Luhan as well.
It seems like Luhan wants to be alone very badly.
Chanyeol feels like shit.
And then he explains what happened to their friends and the six that has known Luhan longer and knows how the boy isn't exactly fine with such stuff, with height, threatens to at least kick his ass or punch him.
Chanyeol feels like shit even more and wouldn't stop any of their friends from hitting him.
It's difficult and he's never felt as guilty before, but somehow Chanyeol survives the weekend with all the worrying, barely any sleep or food.
Then it's finally Monday and Chanyeol hopes really hard that Luhan won't decide to skip school.
Except, indeed, Luhan doesn't skip school, but finding him would a miracle. Chanyeol only manages to spot him a few times from afar and then the boy would disappear.
It keeps happening till Wednesday and by then Chanyeol is a little irritated by that.
He does understand Luhan's behavior, he is really sorry for what he's done and he gets that Luhan might hate him because of that, but he can't help but feels annoyed every time he sees the older boy evaporating into thin air.
Therefore, Chanyeol makes a plan. He analyzes Luhan's classes and where the rooms are placed; as well as he analyzes Luhan's favorite ways from what he and his friends can remember. And then he finds the shortest time with the longest way Luhan needs to walk and it's when and where he chooses to attack.
Luhan might not be happy with Chanyeol most likely getting him late or making him skip the class, but Chanyeol's got no choice at this point.
Chanyeol starts his plan with ignoring his classes at that time and camouflaging himself around the point of attack so he won't get noticed. And what he means is he hides himself in one corridor from which he has nice view on the way Luhan will be going and as well as another nice corridor into which Chanyeol will drag the other boy, so they're alone.
A very simple plan and it's going to work.
And it kind of does work, actually, as Chanyeol waits about twenty minutes before he finally sees Luhan and the boy looks pretty calm and like he's not expecting anything, even if a little bit sad, too.
Chanyeol waits a few seconds more for Luhan to be in the right place and then he runs out of his hiding-place and straight into the older boy. He grabs Luhan's hand and not giving him any time to react Chanyeol drags his fiancé towards the less used classroom he decided as the right place to talk.
The whole thing doesn't even take thirty seconds, but Chanyeol doesn't care, because he succeeds, Luhan's there and he's standing in the middle of an abandoned room and looking at Chanyeol wide-eyed.
"W-what?" Luhan mumbles confused, not really understanding what's going on.
Chanyeol coughs awkwardly, because he gets it, he might've been a little too rough and sudden.
"I wanted to talk," he answers quietly and softly lets go of Luhan's hand.
Luhan doesn't answer, but looks at the floor as if not wanting even to see Chanyeol.
Chanyeol feels his heart breaking a little more. He sighs.
"I'm really, really sorry," he says in soft voice and gently takes Luhan's hand. "I had no idea and I know it's just an excuse and doesn't make anything right, but I really want to apologize. I'm really sorry for making you go on that and making you feel that and making you react like that. I realize you probably hate me now and I understand why you would be badly upset with me, but I just want to say I'm sorry. And if you want, if I can, I'll make it up to you, however you wish."
Finishing his possibly too long apology, Chanyeol squeezes Luhan's hand and intertwines their fingers.
Luhan doesn't say anything for a few moments, but Chanyeol notices the older boy glancing at him.
"I'm not upset with you," Luhan whispers finally, glancing again and then looking to the side.
Chanyeol looks at Luhan surprised.
"What? How?" He's confused. "Why have you been avoiding me, then?"
Luhan looks everywhere but at Chanyeol harder.
"Why~?" He shakes a little Luhan's hand with his own, wanting the older to answer.
Luhan sighs.
"I'm upset with myself," he finally murmurs.
Chanyeol blinks, because the answer makes him even more confused.
"Why?" he says again in a small voice.
"Because of how I acted," Luhan answers after a few moments.
Chanyeol still doesn't get what the older means, so he only squeezes Luhan's hand wanting him to continue.
"I cried. Like a child," Luhan finally starts. "I cried and shook and acted like I was about to pass out and it was just stupid and embarrassing and pitiful and I hate it."
Chanyeol stares at Luhan, totally not expecting that.
"What?" is all he manages after a few moments. Luhan glares at him weakly for such a reaction.
Chanyeol blinks a few times, trying to come up with something right to tell or do. Luhan's glare is even hardening when he panics.
"I'm scared of small spaces," he says a bit thoughtlessly.
"What?" It's Luhan's turn to be confused.
Chanyeol hesitates for a moment.
"It's okay to be scared. It's a human thing. I get very scared in small spaces," he finally explains. "So I understand and I don't think any less of you. I even find it brave that you rode that thing."
Luhan seems to want to say something, but he stops hearing the last sentence. He bites on his lower lip.
"You just were so excited," he murmurs in a small voice.
Chanyeol blinks and smiles softly.
"But you didn't have to. You could've told me you didn't like such things. We wouldn't have gone and everything would be okay."
"But you wanted to go." Luhan isn't looking at Chanyeol again.
Chanyeol smiles at the older boy. He steps closer and hugs him, thankful to have such a wonderful fiancé.
Luhan hugs Chanyeol back, liking how warm the other feels and how they fit together.
They stand like that for a few moments, when Luhan gets an idea. He pushes Chanyeol away slightly.
"So you said you'll make it up to me, hm~?" He smiles mischievously at the younger.
Chanyeol frowns. He doesn't like the dangerous glint in Luhan's eyes.
*
A few hours later Chanyeol still doesn't like the dangerous glint in Luhan's eyes.
But at that point he doesn't like lots of things.
He doesn't like that they're back at Lotte World.
He doesn't like how dangerously cheerful Luhan was while dragging Chanyeol here.
He doesn't like how Luhan kept dragging Chanyeol through the whole place.
And especially Chanyeol doesn't like the stupid thing in front of which they're standing.
He has no idea what this is exactly or what's it called and he couldn't care less. All he knows is that it's some ridiculous ride that is supposed to be a scary one or maybe not really, Chanyeol doesn't give a fuck. All he knows is that one rides in a little waggon and through dark, little tunnels.
Chanyeol really doesn't like that. Both he and his claustrophobia don't.
Stupid dark, small tunnels of doom.
But all he can do is blink a lot and panic inside.
Chanyeol's promised Luhan to make it up to him, that previous ride that didn't end well. And he said Luhan can choose however he wants to for them to make up.
So here they are.
Chanyeol's already regretting it a little bit.
Only then he glances at smiling Luhan and he doesn't.
The queue is getting shorter and they're getting closer to the thing and to riding this and Chanyeol's hyperventilating whenever Luhan's not looking at him and it's really not cool.
What if the lowly set ceiling will fall on them?, Chanyeol think and then panics more, his imagination already showing him the what if.
"You okay?" Luhan asks cheerfully as Chanyeol's staring scaredly at the five people left in front of them.
Only five.
Chanyeol glances at Luhan and takes quite a moment to understand the question.
He nods.
"You sure you want to go?" Luhan asks again.
Chanyeol glances once more and takes Luhan's hand, intertwining their fingers.
"Yeah," he answers, sounding hundreds times more sure than he feels.
"Okay then." Luhan grins really cheerfully at Chanyeol, who only smiles back just as confidently as he doesn't feel. "Let's go, then." He squeezes Chanyeol's hand and starts dragging him out of the queue.
"What?" Chanyeol only mumbles, staring at Luhan, confused. The older boy doesn't answer, he just keeps dragging him and smiling happily.
Chanyeol thinks of stopping Luhan for a moment, but then he decides that the further from the frightening devices, the better. So he lets himself be dragged, at some point even his smiles turning real although still confused.
They walk like this for a few moments and somehow the dragging turns into just walking next to each other, joined by their hands and smiling. Just like a simple date, like Chanyeol didn't just feel like he's about to pass out.
"You okay now?" Luhan asks, glancing at Chanyeol and squeezing his hand.
"Not sure. I still don't understand what's going on. What was that there?" Chanyeol squeezes back.
"Well, I didn't really want to take you there. Just try to." Luhan's words somehow become quieter. "If you would go." And much softer. "... For me," he adds shyly.
"So we didn't really... We're not riding that?" Chanyeol wants to make sure, before he focuses on the other parts of what Luhan just said.
"It's not a nice feeling," Luhan says and Chanyeol feels guilty once again. "So nope," he concludes.
"Oh, dear lord!" Chanyeol drops to his knees. "Thank fuck, I though I was going to pass out." He embraces Luhan's hips and cuddles his face into the older's tummy.
Luhan stares confused at Chanyeol for a moment, not sure whether he should laugh or he doesn't even know what else to do. He ends up only patting Chanyeol's head lovingly. He knows it probably shouldn't make him happy, but the fact that the younger would go for the ride for him, even though it made him feel that bad, he finds that pretty adorable and awesome at once.
Luhan didn't intend on making Chanyeol really ride that. He rode the Gyro Swing, so he knows how terrible the feeling is. He just wanted to play with Chanyeol a bit. For the Gyro Swing. However wrong of him it was.
But thankfully Chanyeol doesn't seem to be upset at him, Luhan thinks happily, playing with the younger's hair at the moment and wondering when he'll want to get up. People are kind of looking at them and he might not care that much about such stuff, but at this point some of them are actually stopping to watch.
"Are you okay?" Luhan decides to ask again.
Chanyeol takes a moment to decide how to answer. He looks up at Luhan and smiles.
"Can I try to get a plushie for you, too?" he asks.
Luhan nods, laughing.
*
Over an hour later Chanyeol gets a giraffe plushie for Luhan. He doesn't really win it, though. The guy at the shooting booth gets so annoyed with him, he actually gives the plushie to Chanyeol to get rid of him.
*
The next weekend greets Luhan with another attraction, one with similar level of exhaustion. It comes on Sunday, therefore the next day he's totally, totally spent and while at the cafeteria he couldn't be less interested in food. Instead, Luhan's laying with his head on the table, eyes closed and feeling like doing and paying attention to nothing.
Some of his friends only glance at him, since they know the cause, but when Yifan and Minseok come, they stare at Luhan curiously for a moment and sit next to him.
The two glance at each other and back at Luhan.
"What are you doing?" Yifan asks, nudging Luhan slightly, who doesn't even open his eyes at that.
"Just resting," Joonmyun answers, smiling amusedly.
Yifan and Minseok look at him confused.
"Chanyeol got him... busy yesterday," Yixing adds and starts laughing.
Luhan still doesn't raises his eyes. He only kicks Yixing, who yelps in pain.
"Finally!" Yifan smiles at the news. Then he looks at Luhan again. "Chanyeol's always had quite lots of stamina, but, wow~" He grins approvingly looking at half-dead Luhan.
"Times more stamina than you've got, it seems," Minseok adds, proud of his dongsaeng.
Yifan glares at his boyfriend.
"Tomorrow you're going to be as dead as Luhan is today," he says, narrowing his eyes at Minseok, who only snorts.
"We'll see who's going to be sleeping on the table tomorrow," he challenges.
Luhan sighs, deciding he's got enough, he really doesn't want to hear any more. He raises his head and looks at the two.
"Chanyeol took me to meet his family yesterday!" he says, ignoring all his other giggling, annoying friends.
"Oh!" Yifan nods a few times. "It makes sense," he decides.
"I've met his parents and sister once," Minseok agrees as well. "That was... a lot."
"There were aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents..." Luhan mumbles quietly, putting his head back on the table.
"Aww, you poor dear." Minseok pats Luhan's back delicately. "Rest, boy. You deserve some rest."
Luhan does.
(The three oldest are too busy with themselves that they don't notice the youngers betting who'll be the one sleeping on the table tomorrow. And with how they know the two and their possibilities, their stamina, their strength, in the end most of the boys are in favor of Minseok not being the half-dead one.)

Byun Baekhyun We still need to find a pastor or somebody for the wedding. Anybody knows anybody?
Zhang Yixing I have an idea.
Huang Zitao No need, ge. I'll take care of that. ^^
Byun Baekhyun Okay, then. Thanks.
Zhang Yixing Tao, I've got it settled. Leave it to your ge.
Huang Zitao Not happening, Zhang Yixing. I'll do this.
Kim Minseok Um, guys?
Byun Baekhyun Calm down, okay?
Zhang Yixing You think you can perform the ceremony?
Lu Han You guys should stop with all these jokes at this point, hahaha
Huang Zitao I don't think I can. I will. I am performing the ceremony.

Huang Zitao My buing-buing always works!
Zhang Yixing It isn't working now. Just like you're not performing the ceremony.
Wu Yifan Yixing, can you please give up?
Huang Zitao It's supposed to work!
Zhang Yixing Wu Yifan no way in hell. Huang Zitao too bad it's not.
Oh Sehun don't worry, Tao. It's only because Yixing-ge doesn't have the visualization of your buing-buing in his mind. It would work if he did. It's the cutest. ❤
Zhang Yixing pffft, you really think that would change anything, me knowing how his buing-buing looks? That I'd agree?
Kim Minseok yes
Wu Yifan yeah
Do Kyungsoo we do
Park Chanyeol it totally would
Oh Sehun very much ❤
Zhang Yixing you're all insane. There's no way I'm agreeing.
Zhang Yixing well, okay then. Tao might be the pastor. He'll be a very cute pastor.
Byun Baekhyun wait what?
Wu Yifan ?
Kim Minseok it's like Tao went to Yixing's house and showed him the buing-buing, hahaha
Kim Minseok ...
Kim Minseok wait
Kim Jongin so that's why Tao called me and asked Yixing-ge's address?
Do Kyungsoo I'm not surprised at all
Kim Jongdae wow
Huang Zitao thank you, gege~ (✿◕ヮ◕)
Zhang Yixing anytime :|
Zhang Yixing but since I got stripped from my pride, to make myself feel better I'll just tell you that Sehun stole your underwear

Do Kyungsoo :|
Kim Jongin :|

Oh Sehun but I didn't! I would never! TT_TT
Kim Jongdae then what was the underwear you showed to us?
Oh Sehun freshly bought underwear. Once washed in a laundry to make them look like used. Easy.
Kim Jongin that's cheating!
Kim Jongdae you lost!
Oh Sehun nope. The underwear is Tao's. I gave it to him when he stayed over.
Kim Jongdae but it wasn't Tao's when you showed it to us!
Oh Sehun too late. You've approved. I win.
Zhang Yixing however much I hate to say it, Sehun sounds logical :/
Kim Jongdae he does :/
Kim Jongin dammit :/
Huang Zitao my smart boo! ❤ come over tonight, I'll reward you~ ❤
Oh Sehun ❤
Kim Jongin annoying lying little fetus :|
Oh Sehun you're just jealous, because you're not getting any and you're too shy to ruin Kyungsoo-hyung's underwear
Kim Jongin Yah!

Zhang Yixing still better than Sehun daring Luhan to propose to Chanyeol
Kim Minseok what
Wu Yifan what
Do Kyungsoo what
Huang Zitao Park Chanyeol a dare?
Zhang Yixing whoops
*
Luhan spends a few moments staring at the facebook page and blinking. He's wondering what to do, what to reply, what to tell to Chanyeol, how to kill Yixing.
Except, he's got no idea.
Well, besides the last one. Yixing is the room next to his, Luhan can easily go to him.
And Luhan's actually getting up with an intention of choking the dumbass, when he hears his phone ringing.
Luhan glances at the cellphone. He makes his way to it and looks at the caller.
Chanyeol.
Luhan panics harder.
What should Luhan tell? Should he lie? Should he tell the truth? Should he apologize? Should he promise he'll actually help the others to organize their wedding? Should he get Chanyeol another bunny plushie? Should he get Chanyeol lots of deer plushies?
Luhan slowly reaches for the phone, his hands shaking. He takes a deep breath, then another and picks up.
"Is it true?" is what Luhan hears before he can even say anything.
It doesn't make Luhan feel any better, Chanyeol's voice sounds so... strange. Bad strange. Strange as in serious and with no feelings in it, no happiness, nothing. Luhan doesn't like it.
"Y-yes," he answers finally, voice weak and stuttering a bit
Chanyeol doesn't say anything for a minute and Luhan just grows more and more worried.
Just when Luhan wants to say something, to apologize, to explain, anything, he hears Chanyeol sighing and closes his mouth again.
"Do you regret it? Do you want out? You shouldn't do something like this when it's only a dare," he says, voice still flat.
"No!" Luhan totally panics. He doesn't regret anything, he doesn't want out. He does feel like the others planning their wedding is pretty ridiculous, but on the other hand he hasn't been really stopping them. "I don't," he adds, softer and quieter this time.
"Okay," Chanyeol says and, before Luhan even has a chance to wonder what is that supposed to mean, he hangs up.
Luhan sits on the floor and listens to the silence in his phone for long time.
(He only stops when Yixing opens the door and wants to say something, probably to apologize, but Luhan doesn't want to listen to it. He tells Yixing to fuck off and throws whatever is the closest at the younger.
Fortunately, Yixing manages to close the door before he gets hit.
Unfortunately, Luhan realizes after a moment, what just hit the door was his cellphone. And what then fell onto the floor were pieces of his cellphone.
Luhan screams.)
*
The rest of the day Luhan spends either trying to fix his phone or glaring at Yixing. Even Kyuhyun knows better than to tease his cute dongsaeng, because it's pretty obvious he will bite. Zhoumi feels so sorry for the boy (even though he's not a fan of the stupid game of dares), so he feeds him candies and ice-cream, which Luhan happily eats. It's only after a whole box when he realizes he's acting like high school girl that just broke up with his boyfriend. He hasn't broken up, though. They haven't. And he's not a girl, of course. And he's not in high school. And he will have to do something about all the calories from the whole box of ice-cream; they say it's fine once in a long while, but Luhan doubts in this much.
So Luhan somehow survives the rest of the day and then the night and now he's walking towards the school and looking around in hope to see Chanyeol and maybe talk to him.
Luhan doesn't see him though, regardless of him making the two minutes walk into twenty minutes one. But then it's time for his classes and he needs to go. Luhan sighs as he almost reaches the door of the building.
And then he feels a hand grabbing his arm and somebody pushing him against the wall just next to the door. Luhan's first instinct is to punch the person in the face and knee where it hurts the most, but he manages not to as he notices it's Chanyeol.
Luhan almost smiles. But then he frowns, because Chanyeol's not smiling. Chanyeol's looking at him with something in his eyes that Luhan can't decipher.
Also, there's the fact that Chanyeol doesn't give him any time to do so. Instead, Chanyeol leans in and kisses Luhan.
Luhan blinks twice before the shock passes and he kisses back, pushing both hands into Chanyeol's hair.
The kiss turns into more kisses; the kisses become longer and deeper and Luhan's enjoying it a lot.
But it's when Luhan doesn't even care anymore that they're on school's ground and for all these people to see, Chanyeol breaks the kiss.
"Just to show you that you're my fiancé and it's not a game anymore." Chanyeol grins at Luhan, who now realizes what is that glint in the younger's eyes, especially as it's seen in his mischievous grin as well.
Luhan snorts and, using the hold he still has on Chanyeol's hair, brings his ridiculous fiancé for another kiss.
*
Two weeks later finally comes the summer vacation.
Luhan can't wait. He's really looking forward to doing nothing, caring about nothing and sleeping the whole days.
Except, while having planned that, unfortunately he must've forgotten about the annoyance that are his friends, Luhan thinks distantly as he's being thrown on the backseat of Yifan's car, blindfolded and his hands tied behind his back.
He snorts at his previous hope for a nice, calm day. One is definitely not happening, Luhan can feel it. And the fact that Yifan and Minseok are whispering something in the front seats and shushing the other makes that pretty obvious as well.
Luhan shakes his head slightly; he thought he could trust at least those two, with them being the oldest and possibly the most reasonable people in the group. But, of course, in the end the most reasonable is still dumb and ridiculous among the twelve.
(Twelve, because Luhan knows he should count himself in, too.)
They ride pretty long, Luhan guesses. Though, on the other hand, with a blindfold on it might've been as well ten minutes, he's not sure. The two whisper a lot and sometimes ask Luhan if he's okay. Luhan even answers, even though upset, because they actually sound concerned.
But then the car finally stops and the backseat door opens. Luhan knows it's neither Minseok or Yifan, because the two are still inside.
It takes him a moment to figure out who's dragging him out of the car and then to somewhere, but considering two pairs of hands and their placement suggesting the two being taller, Luhan thinks he might guess who they are. That and the fact that they smell like chocolate and he actually remembers the scent, having been surprised by the object having such a scent. Only, he hopes Tao and Sehun smell like that because of bubble tea or real chocolate or something like that, not the... the other thing that Sehun might've taken from Luhan's special box one day and which also had such a scent.
(At the moment Luhan prefers fruity lubes, so he's not really angry about that one theft.)
Finally they reach some kind of building, get inside and drag Luhan in a room, closing the door behind them three.
And it's when the horror begins.
As in, Luhan feels Tao and Sehun undressing him. And he knows they're friends and all, but they're not that close. Also, he was pretty sure they were too crazy about each other to even think of anybody else.
"Wait! What are you-" is all Luhan manages to say before a hand covers his mouth. Luhan panics more.
"Quiet, hyung," a voice says that Luhan recognizes as Baekhyun's. He's pretty sure it's his hand that's covering his mouth. And the other hand is actually helping to make him stand straight as the other two are taking his pants off.
"Up," Baekhyun says.
Luhan's confused and only mumbles something.
"Your leg. Up," Baekhyun explains and Luhan almost hears him rolling his eyes.
Luhan raises his leg a bit and then he raises the other.
So here he is now and all Luhan is wearing is his underwear. He hopes it's as far as they're going to go. Though, if for some reason they'll even make a move towards the last piece of clothing he has on, Luhan is so going to bite Baekhyun's hand and knee him, and he's pretty sure they're standing the right way for his knee to hit where it counts.
Fortunately, neither of the boys seem to be interested in his underwear (though he imagines the judging stares at the pattern that might be of cupcakes). Instead of that, they actually start dressing him back, which kind of confused Luhan even more, kind of pleases him. He's not sure what they're making him wear, though.
In a few minutes (because Luhan isn't really making things easy, just for the little fun he can have at the moment) they're done with the pants and shoes and Luhan feels them starting with a shirt.
At this point Luhan calms down a bit. He still has no idea what's going and what is their ridiculous reason for all this kidnapping and undressing stuff, but since he's wearing clothes now, he feels a bit more confident. And Luhan's getting bored, so he decides he'll make it more fun.
He waits for when they're done with buttons of the shirt and he goes for it: Luhan licks Baekhyun's hand (hoping he washes his hands after he uses toilet). The boy is surprised and takes his hand away with loud "Ew!". So Luhan knees him when he guesses he can.
It turns out Luhan's aim when he's blindfolded is much better than when he's not, Luhan thinks amusedly hearing Baekhyun's high scream.
"Can you be quicker? Getting manhandled like this isn't fun at all," he says.
"We'll be done in a moment, ge," Tao answers, sounding too amused than it's appropriate. Luhan's pretty sure the younger boy has a hard time not laughing at Baekhyun. On the other hand, he can actually hear Sehun's quiet chuckling.
Luhan snorts, but lets them to put once more thing on him. Then somebody does something to his hair and he's getting pushed again, he hopes towards the door.
And, yes, Luhan is pushed outside the room and dragged somewhere again, by Tao and Baekhyun this time. He recognizes the other by the rough hold on his arm and slight limping, which amuses Luhan quite a lot. He think he hears Sehun walking in front of them.
Then they slow him down and there's a sound of another door opening. And now he's actually dragged out delicately, which is pretty confusing.
Also, the moment he steps through the door, outside of the building, Luhan's sure, a song starts playing.
The song. The one he never remembers the name of, but knows as the wedding song.
Luhan feels even more confused. And a bit scared, too.
Sehun takes off Luhan's blindfold and first thing he finally sees is the boy's grin. Luhan almost smiles back.
Almost.
Because he notices they're on a beach, with lots of white chairs nicely set up and lots of people sitting on those chairs, and then some kind of green thing slash table decorated with flowers to which Tao is skipping now, and people are smiling and are dresses nicely and his friends are all grinning at him happily. Luhan frowns very, very hard, because it kind of looks like...
Like a wedding.
Luhan looks in panic at Sehun. Only now he notices the boy is wearing a suit.
He looks at himself and he's actually wearing one, too.
"Let's go. Yeol-hyung is coming in a moment," Sehun says and drags Luhan further, through a nice little alley made between the chairs, towards Tao.
Luhan's too much in shock to do anything else but to bow to the members of Chanyeol's family that he knows, a few of their professors from college(!) and a few more people. He lets himself be dragged and then situated in the center.
Even then, it takes a few more moments before Luhan somehow calms down and is able to think somewhat clearly.
"What is going on?" he whispers to the Tao, who obviously is a pastor, and his own best men, as in Sehun and Jongin, and Chanyeol's best men, Minseok and Kyungsoo. The other are sitting in the front row, all happy and pretending to be tearing up at their friends getting married.
Sehun, Jongin and Tao hear the whisper and look at Luhan flatly. Because, really what he's thinking is going on.
"But- Why- How- Did you-" Luhan is trying to say something, but he's still to confused. "But did you really have to do this kidnapping thing?" he manages finally.
"It was more fun this way," Minseok answers, shrugging. Others nod.
Luhan makes an unexplainable sound at the answer. He decides not to ask anything anymore. He's only partly surprised, because, really, those dumbasses doing ridiculous things never is a surprise.
Suddenly, the song starts again and louder.
Luhan winces at the suddenness and starts looking around trying to figure out what's happening now.
He snorts in surprise seeing Chanyeol in suit, with a bouquet of flowers in his hands and his mother next to him.
"Really?" he murmurs at Tao who's standing the closest.
"If we gave you flowers, you'd whine you're too manly," Tao whispers, putting on his serious face. He isn't a friend of the grooms right now; he is the pastor.
Luhan rolls his eyes at that, but he knows it's true, he most likely would.
Chanyeol and his mother approach them and Luhan bows at the woman. She smiles at him and walks to her chair.
Luhan then looks at Chanyeol, who's smiling at him softly, and he can't help but smile back.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Tao begins. "We've gathered here today-"
And it's as far as Luhan hears as he ignores the rest. He knows he probably should be listening, but he doesn't feel like it. He uses the time when Tao's babbling stuff to really look around.
Luhan sees smiling people looking at them. Really smiling people. Like they're happy for Luhan and Chanyeol. It makes him feel warm in his heart, looking at them.
The ones that catch him looking smile specifically at him and Luhan can't help but feel a bit like crying.
He's a little sad he doesn't see his family here, but he knows better. It's possible one of the boys tried contacting them, maybe, but he knows what answer they would get. He just knows better.
But as Chanyeol's grandmother, the one whom he met a few weeks ago and who came to like him immediately and spent the whole day spoiling him and joined Chanyeol's mother in showing him the boy's pictures of when he was little and telling stories, when she catches his eyes and grins at him, he doesn't mind his family not being here at all.
Somehow, the whole thing is too happy. The people here are too happy. The people that know it's kind of a weird ceremony, kind of a fake one, kind of not even accepted in Korea, but they are still are here and happy for the two boys.
Luhan's all smiley and happy, lost in his mind when he feel somebody nudging him. He looks up and sees Chanyeol grinning at him happily. Luhan grins back what makes Chanyeol chuckle and only then Luhan realizes Tao's still talking and now he should start paying attention.
"Do you, Park Chanyeol," Tao starts and Luhan's glad Chanyeol made him pay attention again, "take Lu Han to be your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?"
Luhan gasps in surprise and in awe at Tao reciting that all, not even reading out of anything, and full of feelings and drama and stuff.
"I do," Chanyeol answers, smiling at Luhan, who gets a very, very weird feeling in his stomach hearing the answer; a weird but pleasant one.
"Do you, Lu Han, "Tao continues, "take Park Chanyeol to be your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?"
The weird, pleasant feeling grows at the question, but it makes him grin.
"I do," Luhan answers, looking at Chanyeol.
Tao almost smiles at his adorable hyungs, but in the end he manages to hold it in. He glances at Sehun, who nods and approaches the two. He opens the little box he's holding and shows two rings.
Luhan snorts still grinning at how their friends have really figured everything out. He reaches for a ring first. Then he takes Chanyeol's hand.
"I, Lu Han, give you, Park Chanyeol, this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you," he recites, remembering the line from a movie he watched with a few of their friends a few days ago. At least now he understand why they all were giggling so hard during the wedding scene. Slowly, he puts the ring on Chanyeol's ring finger.
Chanyeol bits his lower lip, trying to hide how happy he is hearing that. He takes a few seconds looking at and enjoying his own ring. Only then he takes the other other one.
"I give you this ring, as I give to you all that I am, and accept from you, all that you are," he says softly, putting the ring on Luhan's finger.
Tao nods happily and continues.
"And now, by the power vested in me by the State of New York, I hereby pronounce you husband and husband." Luhan frowns at Tao. New York? How? He's been in Korea all this time. "You may now kiss," Tao announces and Luhan stops caring anymore.
Luhan grabs Chanyeol's tie, which along the suit makes him look even more ridiculously handsome, and pulls him down for the kiss.
*
Soon later everything is done, all Tao wants is signed and the pastor job is finished, for which he gets quite a proud kiss from Sehun, when Luhan and Chanyeol get thrown into the crowd to be manhandled again.
It's Chanyeol's parents who get to them first, though. His father hugs Chanyeol first, but his mother stand in front of Luhan and takes both of his hands.
"Welcome to the family, son," she says with a wide smile and embraces Luhan tightly. He hugs her back with all his might.
"Thank you, mom," he whispers quietly.
The woman told him to call her mom when they first met, but somehow it feels different now, more real.
She pulls away the hug with her smile looking even happier.
"My turn," Chanyeol's dad says, delicately pushing his wife to the side, and then embracing Luhan.
Luhan chuckles happily.
*
Some time later Luhan feels like it's been forever that all those people took hugging them and congratulating and telling things and explaining and Luhan just can't be happier knowing that part is over and he can just go, sit down and eat, finally.
"Wait." Sehun's hand on Luhan's arm stops him. He glares at the boy; waiting is one of the last things he feels like doing at the moment. But Sehun only smiles and points to somewhere.
Luhan looks. He sees grinning Chanyeol and quite lots of people in front of him, waiting excitedly. He takes a moment, but he finally realizes that they're all waiting for Chanyeol to throw the flower bouquet and laughs.
Then he glances at Sehun and pushes him towards the crowd. The boy chuckles, but goes.
Luhan stays and observes the crowd, then to notice that they're all just unmarried people, regardless of the gender and age. He even sees one of their professors among them.
Finally Chanyeol's throwing the bouquet, accompanied by lots of happy and ridiculous yells in hopes of catching it.
Seconds later Jongin, who has got distracted by adorably jumping Kyungsoo, feels something falling into his hands. He looks down and, well, shockingly he sees the bouquet.
Jongin looks around and other people just laugh at his confused face. And with the game done, they are more than happy to go to their food, walking by Jongin and patting his arms or congratulating him.
Kyungsoo is the last one to go and he smiles at Jongin with his heart-shaped smile making him feel like he can't do this anymore.
"Kyungsoo-hyung, d-do you-" he starts and hesitates. Kyungsoo only nods, wanting him to continue. Jongin gulps. "Do you want to- to share the bouquet?" He smiles shyly at the older.
"I do," Kyungsoo answers properly, chuckling after saying that and reaches his hands to Jongin's, the one that's holding the bouquet.
Jongin smiles in happiness as he covers Kyungsoo's hands with his free one.
They keep smiling and looking at each other like for good few moments, when suddenly they hear clapping. At first it's quiet, obviously done by a person or two, and then the number raises and the applause gets louder.
Confused, Kyungsoo and Jongin look around, only to see all the people looking at them.
Glancing at each other, the two chuckle shyly.
*
Kim Jongin is in relationship with Do Kyungsoo

Kim Jongin right ❤
*
The rest of the weekend Chanyeol spends stressing all over the place.
He keeps on trying to contact Luhan, but with no effect. He calls all their friends but it seems like Luhan doesn't want to talk with anyone.
The boy doesn't even talk with Yixing and they live at the same place. Both Kyuhyun and Zhoumi can't reach to Luhan as well.
It seems like Luhan wants to be alone very badly.
Chanyeol feels like shit.
And then he explains what happened to their friends and the six that has known Luhan longer and knows how the boy isn't exactly fine with such stuff, with height, threatens to at least kick his ass or punch him.
Chanyeol feels like shit even more and wouldn't stop any of their friends from hitting him.
It's difficult and he's never felt as guilty before, but somehow Chanyeol survives the weekend with all the worrying, barely any sleep or food.
Then it's finally Monday and Chanyeol hopes really hard that Luhan won't decide to skip school.
Except, indeed, Luhan doesn't skip school, but finding him would a miracle. Chanyeol only manages to spot him a few times from afar and then the boy would disappear.
It keeps happening till Wednesday and by then Chanyeol is a little irritated by that.
He does understand Luhan's behavior, he is really sorry for what he's done and he gets that Luhan might hate him because of that, but he can't help but feels annoyed every time he sees the older boy evaporating into thin air.
Therefore, Chanyeol makes a plan. He analyzes Luhan's classes and where the rooms are placed; as well as he analyzes Luhan's favorite ways from what he and his friends can remember. And then he finds the shortest time with the longest way Luhan needs to walk and it's when and where he chooses to attack.
Luhan might not be happy with Chanyeol most likely getting him late or making him skip the class, but Chanyeol's got no choice at this point.
Chanyeol starts his plan with ignoring his classes at that time and camouflaging himself around the point of attack so he won't get noticed. And what he means is he hides himself in one corridor from which he has nice view on the way Luhan will be going and as well as another nice corridor into which Chanyeol will drag the other boy, so they're alone.
A very simple plan and it's going to work.
And it kind of does work, actually, as Chanyeol waits about twenty minutes before he finally sees Luhan and the boy looks pretty calm and like he's not expecting anything, even if a little bit sad, too.
Chanyeol waits a few seconds more for Luhan to be in the right place and then he runs out of his hiding-place and straight into the older boy. He grabs Luhan's hand and not giving him any time to react Chanyeol drags his fiancé towards the less used classroom he decided as the right place to talk.
The whole thing doesn't even take thirty seconds, but Chanyeol doesn't care, because he succeeds, Luhan's there and he's standing in the middle of an abandoned room and looking at Chanyeol wide-eyed.
"W-what?" Luhan mumbles confused, not really understanding what's going on.
Chanyeol coughs awkwardly, because he gets it, he might've been a little too rough and sudden.
"I wanted to talk," he answers quietly and softly lets go of Luhan's hand.
Luhan doesn't answer, but looks at the floor as if not wanting even to see Chanyeol.
Chanyeol feels his heart breaking a little more. He sighs.
"I'm really, really sorry," he says in soft voice and gently takes Luhan's hand. "I had no idea and I know it's just an excuse and doesn't make anything right, but I really want to apologize. I'm really sorry for making you go on that and making you feel that and making you react like that. I realize you probably hate me now and I understand why you would be badly upset with me, but I just want to say I'm sorry. And if you want, if I can, I'll make it up to you, however you wish."
Finishing his possibly too long apology, Chanyeol squeezes Luhan's hand and intertwines their fingers.
Luhan doesn't say anything for a few moments, but Chanyeol notices the older boy glancing at him.
"I'm not upset with you," Luhan whispers finally, glancing again and then looking to the side.
Chanyeol looks at Luhan surprised.
"What? How?" He's confused. "Why have you been avoiding me, then?"
Luhan looks everywhere but at Chanyeol harder.
"Why~?" He shakes a little Luhan's hand with his own, wanting the older to answer.
Luhan sighs.
"I'm upset with myself," he finally murmurs.
Chanyeol blinks, because the answer makes him even more confused.
"Why?" he says again in a small voice.
"Because of how I acted," Luhan answers after a few moments.
Chanyeol still doesn't get what the older means, so he only squeezes Luhan's hand wanting him to continue.
"I cried. Like a child," Luhan finally starts. "I cried and shook and acted like I was about to pass out and it was just stupid and embarrassing and pitiful and I hate it."
Chanyeol stares at Luhan, totally not expecting that.
"What?" is all he manages after a few moments. Luhan glares at him weakly for such a reaction.
Chanyeol blinks a few times, trying to come up with something right to tell or do. Luhan's glare is even hardening when he panics.
"I'm scared of small spaces," he says a bit thoughtlessly.
"What?" It's Luhan's turn to be confused.
Chanyeol hesitates for a moment.
"It's okay to be scared. It's a human thing. I get very scared in small spaces," he finally explains. "So I understand and I don't think any less of you. I even find it brave that you rode that thing."
Luhan seems to want to say something, but he stops hearing the last sentence. He bites on his lower lip.
"You just were so excited," he murmurs in a small voice.
Chanyeol blinks and smiles softly.
"But you didn't have to. You could've told me you didn't like such things. We wouldn't have gone and everything would be okay."
"But you wanted to go." Luhan isn't looking at Chanyeol again.
Chanyeol smiles at the older boy. He steps closer and hugs him, thankful to have such a wonderful fiancé.
Luhan hugs Chanyeol back, liking how warm the other feels and how they fit together.
They stand like that for a few moments, when Luhan gets an idea. He pushes Chanyeol away slightly.
"So you said you'll make it up to me, hm~?" He smiles mischievously at the younger.
Chanyeol frowns. He doesn't like the dangerous glint in Luhan's eyes.
*
A few hours later Chanyeol still doesn't like the dangerous glint in Luhan's eyes.
But at that point he doesn't like lots of things.
He doesn't like that they're back at Lotte World.
He doesn't like how dangerously cheerful Luhan was while dragging Chanyeol here.
He doesn't like how Luhan kept dragging Chanyeol through the whole place.
And especially Chanyeol doesn't like the stupid thing in front of which they're standing.
He has no idea what this is exactly or what's it called and he couldn't care less. All he knows is that it's some ridiculous ride that is supposed to be a scary one or maybe not really, Chanyeol doesn't give a fuck. All he knows is that one rides in a little waggon and through dark, little tunnels.
Chanyeol really doesn't like that. Both he and his claustrophobia don't.
Stupid dark, small tunnels of doom.
But all he can do is blink a lot and panic inside.
Chanyeol's promised Luhan to make it up to him, that previous ride that didn't end well. And he said Luhan can choose however he wants to for them to make up.
So here they are.
Chanyeol's already regretting it a little bit.
Only then he glances at smiling Luhan and he doesn't.
The queue is getting shorter and they're getting closer to the thing and to riding this and Chanyeol's hyperventilating whenever Luhan's not looking at him and it's really not cool.
What if the lowly set ceiling will fall on them?, Chanyeol think and then panics more, his imagination already showing him the what if.
"You okay?" Luhan asks cheerfully as Chanyeol's staring scaredly at the five people left in front of them.
Only five.
Chanyeol glances at Luhan and takes quite a moment to understand the question.
He nods.
"You sure you want to go?" Luhan asks again.
Chanyeol glances once more and takes Luhan's hand, intertwining their fingers.
"Yeah," he answers, sounding hundreds times more sure than he feels.
"Okay then." Luhan grins really cheerfully at Chanyeol, who only smiles back just as confidently as he doesn't feel. "Let's go, then." He squeezes Chanyeol's hand and starts dragging him out of the queue.
"What?" Chanyeol only mumbles, staring at Luhan, confused. The older boy doesn't answer, he just keeps dragging him and smiling happily.
Chanyeol thinks of stopping Luhan for a moment, but then he decides that the further from the frightening devices, the better. So he lets himself be dragged, at some point even his smiles turning real although still confused.
They walk like this for a few moments and somehow the dragging turns into just walking next to each other, joined by their hands and smiling. Just like a simple date, like Chanyeol didn't just feel like he's about to pass out.
"You okay now?" Luhan asks, glancing at Chanyeol and squeezing his hand.
"Not sure. I still don't understand what's going on. What was that there?" Chanyeol squeezes back.
"Well, I didn't really want to take you there. Just try to." Luhan's words somehow become quieter. "If you would go." And much softer. "... For me," he adds shyly.
"So we didn't really... We're not riding that?" Chanyeol wants to make sure, before he focuses on the other parts of what Luhan just said.
"It's not a nice feeling," Luhan says and Chanyeol feels guilty once again. "So nope," he concludes.
"Oh, dear lord!" Chanyeol drops to his knees. "Thank fuck, I though I was going to pass out." He embraces Luhan's hips and cuddles his face into the older's tummy.
Luhan stares confused at Chanyeol for a moment, not sure whether he should laugh or he doesn't even know what else to do. He ends up only patting Chanyeol's head lovingly. He knows it probably shouldn't make him happy, but the fact that the younger would go for the ride for him, even though it made him feel that bad, he finds that pretty adorable and awesome at once.
Luhan didn't intend on making Chanyeol really ride that. He rode the Gyro Swing, so he knows how terrible the feeling is. He just wanted to play with Chanyeol a bit. For the Gyro Swing. However wrong of him it was.
But thankfully Chanyeol doesn't seem to be upset at him, Luhan thinks happily, playing with the younger's hair at the moment and wondering when he'll want to get up. People are kind of looking at them and he might not care that much about such stuff, but at this point some of them are actually stopping to watch.
"Are you okay?" Luhan decides to ask again.
Chanyeol takes a moment to decide how to answer. He looks up at Luhan and smiles.
"Can I try to get a plushie for you, too?" he asks.
Luhan nods, laughing.
*
Over an hour later Chanyeol gets a giraffe plushie for Luhan. He doesn't really win it, though. The guy at the shooting booth gets so annoyed with him, he actually gives the plushie to Chanyeol to get rid of him.
*
The next weekend greets Luhan with another attraction, one with similar level of exhaustion. It comes on Sunday, therefore the next day he's totally, totally spent and while at the cafeteria he couldn't be less interested in food. Instead, Luhan's laying with his head on the table, eyes closed and feeling like doing and paying attention to nothing.
Some of his friends only glance at him, since they know the cause, but when Yifan and Minseok come, they stare at Luhan curiously for a moment and sit next to him.
The two glance at each other and back at Luhan.
"What are you doing?" Yifan asks, nudging Luhan slightly, who doesn't even open his eyes at that.
"Just resting," Joonmyun answers, smiling amusedly.
Yifan and Minseok look at him confused.
"Chanyeol got him... busy yesterday," Yixing adds and starts laughing.
Luhan still doesn't raises his eyes. He only kicks Yixing, who yelps in pain.
"Finally!" Yifan smiles at the news. Then he looks at Luhan again. "Chanyeol's always had quite lots of stamina, but, wow~" He grins approvingly looking at half-dead Luhan.
"Times more stamina than you've got, it seems," Minseok adds, proud of his dongsaeng.
Yifan glares at his boyfriend.
"Tomorrow you're going to be as dead as Luhan is today," he says, narrowing his eyes at Minseok, who only snorts.
"We'll see who's going to be sleeping on the table tomorrow," he challenges.
Luhan sighs, deciding he's got enough, he really doesn't want to hear any more. He raises his head and looks at the two.
"Chanyeol took me to meet his family yesterday!" he says, ignoring all his other giggling, annoying friends.
"Oh!" Yifan nods a few times. "It makes sense," he decides.
"I've met his parents and sister once," Minseok agrees as well. "That was... a lot."
"There were aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents..." Luhan mumbles quietly, putting his head back on the table.
"Aww, you poor dear." Minseok pats Luhan's back delicately. "Rest, boy. You deserve some rest."
Luhan does.
(The three oldest are too busy with themselves that they don't notice the youngers betting who'll be the one sleeping on the table tomorrow. And with how they know the two and their possibilities, their stamina, their strength, in the end most of the boys are in favor of Minseok not being the half-dead one.)

Byun Baekhyun We still need to find a pastor or somebody for the wedding. Anybody knows anybody?
Zhang Yixing I have an idea.
Huang Zitao No need, ge. I'll take care of that. ^^
Byun Baekhyun Okay, then. Thanks.
Zhang Yixing Tao, I've got it settled. Leave it to your ge.
Huang Zitao Not happening, Zhang Yixing. I'll do this.
Kim Minseok Um, guys?

Zhang Yixing It isn't working now. Just like you're not performing the ceremony.
Wu Yifan Yixing, can you please give up?
Huang Zitao It's supposed to work!
Zhang Yixing Wu Yifan no way in hell. Huang Zitao too bad it's not.
Oh Sehun don't worry, Tao. It's only because Yixing-ge doesn't have the visualization of your buing-buing in his mind. It would work if he did. It's the cutest. ❤
Zhang Yixing pffft, you really think that would change anything, me knowing how his buing-buing looks? That I'd agree?
Kim Minseok yes
Wu Yifan yeah
Do Kyungsoo we do
Park Chanyeol it totally would
Oh Sehun very much ❤
Zhang Yixing you're all insane. There's no way I'm agreeing.
Zhang Yixing well, okay then. Tao might be the pastor. He'll be a very cute pastor.
Byun Baekhyun wait what?
Wu Yifan ?
Kim Minseok it's like Tao went to Yixing's house and showed him the buing-buing, hahaha
Kim Minseok ...
Kim Minseok wait

Do Kyungsoo I'm not surprised at all
Kim Jongdae wow

Oh Sehun but I didn't! I would never! TT_TT
Kim Jongdae then what was the underwear you showed to us?
Oh Sehun freshly bought underwear. Once washed in a laundry to make them look like used. Easy.
Kim Jongin that's cheating!
Kim Jongdae you lost!
Oh Sehun nope. The underwear is Tao's. I gave it to him when he stayed over.
Kim Jongdae but it wasn't Tao's when you showed it to us!
Oh Sehun too late. You've approved. I win.
Zhang Yixing however much I hate to say it, Sehun sounds logical :/
Kim Jongdae he does :/
Kim Jongin dammit :/
Huang Zitao my smart boo! ❤ come over tonight, I'll reward you~ ❤

Zhang Yixing still better than Sehun daring Luhan to propose to Chanyeol
Kim Minseok what
Wu Yifan what
Do Kyungsoo what
Huang Zitao Park Chanyeol a dare?
Zhang Yixing whoops
*
Luhan spends a few moments staring at the facebook page and blinking. He's wondering what to do, what to reply, what to tell to Chanyeol, how to kill Yixing.
Except, he's got no idea.
Well, besides the last one. Yixing is the room next to his, Luhan can easily go to him.
And Luhan's actually getting up with an intention of choking the dumbass, when he hears his phone ringing.
Luhan glances at the cellphone. He makes his way to it and looks at the caller.
Chanyeol.
Luhan panics harder.
What should Luhan tell? Should he lie? Should he tell the truth? Should he apologize? Should he promise he'll actually help the others to organize their wedding? Should he get Chanyeol another bunny plushie? Should he get Chanyeol lots of deer plushies?
Luhan slowly reaches for the phone, his hands shaking. He takes a deep breath, then another and picks up.
"Is it true?" is what Luhan hears before he can even say anything.
It doesn't make Luhan feel any better, Chanyeol's voice sounds so... strange. Bad strange. Strange as in serious and with no feelings in it, no happiness, nothing. Luhan doesn't like it.
"Y-yes," he answers finally, voice weak and stuttering a bit
Chanyeol doesn't say anything for a minute and Luhan just grows more and more worried.
Just when Luhan wants to say something, to apologize, to explain, anything, he hears Chanyeol sighing and closes his mouth again.
"Do you regret it? Do you want out? You shouldn't do something like this when it's only a dare," he says, voice still flat.
"No!" Luhan totally panics. He doesn't regret anything, he doesn't want out. He does feel like the others planning their wedding is pretty ridiculous, but on the other hand he hasn't been really stopping them. "I don't," he adds, softer and quieter this time.
"Okay," Chanyeol says and, before Luhan even has a chance to wonder what is that supposed to mean, he hangs up.
Luhan sits on the floor and listens to the silence in his phone for long time.
(He only stops when Yixing opens the door and wants to say something, probably to apologize, but Luhan doesn't want to listen to it. He tells Yixing to fuck off and throws whatever is the closest at the younger.
Fortunately, Yixing manages to close the door before he gets hit.
Unfortunately, Luhan realizes after a moment, what just hit the door was his cellphone. And what then fell onto the floor were pieces of his cellphone.
Luhan screams.)
*
The rest of the day Luhan spends either trying to fix his phone or glaring at Yixing. Even Kyuhyun knows better than to tease his cute dongsaeng, because it's pretty obvious he will bite. Zhoumi feels so sorry for the boy (even though he's not a fan of the stupid game of dares), so he feeds him candies and ice-cream, which Luhan happily eats. It's only after a whole box when he realizes he's acting like high school girl that just broke up with his boyfriend. He hasn't broken up, though. They haven't. And he's not a girl, of course. And he's not in high school. And he will have to do something about all the calories from the whole box of ice-cream; they say it's fine once in a long while, but Luhan doubts in this much.
So Luhan somehow survives the rest of the day and then the night and now he's walking towards the school and looking around in hope to see Chanyeol and maybe talk to him.
Luhan doesn't see him though, regardless of him making the two minutes walk into twenty minutes one. But then it's time for his classes and he needs to go. Luhan sighs as he almost reaches the door of the building.
And then he feels a hand grabbing his arm and somebody pushing him against the wall just next to the door. Luhan's first instinct is to punch the person in the face and knee where it hurts the most, but he manages not to as he notices it's Chanyeol.
Luhan almost smiles. But then he frowns, because Chanyeol's not smiling. Chanyeol's looking at him with something in his eyes that Luhan can't decipher.
Also, there's the fact that Chanyeol doesn't give him any time to do so. Instead, Chanyeol leans in and kisses Luhan.
Luhan blinks twice before the shock passes and he kisses back, pushing both hands into Chanyeol's hair.
The kiss turns into more kisses; the kisses become longer and deeper and Luhan's enjoying it a lot.
But it's when Luhan doesn't even care anymore that they're on school's ground and for all these people to see, Chanyeol breaks the kiss.
"Just to show you that you're my fiancé and it's not a game anymore." Chanyeol grins at Luhan, who now realizes what is that glint in the younger's eyes, especially as it's seen in his mischievous grin as well.
Luhan snorts and, using the hold he still has on Chanyeol's hair, brings his ridiculous fiancé for another kiss.
*
Two weeks later finally comes the summer vacation.
Luhan can't wait. He's really looking forward to doing nothing, caring about nothing and sleeping the whole days.
Except, while having planned that, unfortunately he must've forgotten about the annoyance that are his friends, Luhan thinks distantly as he's being thrown on the backseat of Yifan's car, blindfolded and his hands tied behind his back.
He snorts at his previous hope for a nice, calm day. One is definitely not happening, Luhan can feel it. And the fact that Yifan and Minseok are whispering something in the front seats and shushing the other makes that pretty obvious as well.
Luhan shakes his head slightly; he thought he could trust at least those two, with them being the oldest and possibly the most reasonable people in the group. But, of course, in the end the most reasonable is still dumb and ridiculous among the twelve.
(Twelve, because Luhan knows he should count himself in, too.)
They ride pretty long, Luhan guesses. Though, on the other hand, with a blindfold on it might've been as well ten minutes, he's not sure. The two whisper a lot and sometimes ask Luhan if he's okay. Luhan even answers, even though upset, because they actually sound concerned.
But then the car finally stops and the backseat door opens. Luhan knows it's neither Minseok or Yifan, because the two are still inside.
It takes him a moment to figure out who's dragging him out of the car and then to somewhere, but considering two pairs of hands and their placement suggesting the two being taller, Luhan thinks he might guess who they are. That and the fact that they smell like chocolate and he actually remembers the scent, having been surprised by the object having such a scent. Only, he hopes Tao and Sehun smell like that because of bubble tea or real chocolate or something like that, not the... the other thing that Sehun might've taken from Luhan's special box one day and which also had such a scent.
(At the moment Luhan prefers fruity lubes, so he's not really angry about that one theft.)
Finally they reach some kind of building, get inside and drag Luhan in a room, closing the door behind them three.
And it's when the horror begins.
As in, Luhan feels Tao and Sehun undressing him. And he knows they're friends and all, but they're not that close. Also, he was pretty sure they were too crazy about each other to even think of anybody else.
"Wait! What are you-" is all Luhan manages to say before a hand covers his mouth. Luhan panics more.
"Quiet, hyung," a voice says that Luhan recognizes as Baekhyun's. He's pretty sure it's his hand that's covering his mouth. And the other hand is actually helping to make him stand straight as the other two are taking his pants off.
"Up," Baekhyun says.
Luhan's confused and only mumbles something.
"Your leg. Up," Baekhyun explains and Luhan almost hears him rolling his eyes.
Luhan raises his leg a bit and then he raises the other.
So here he is now and all Luhan is wearing is his underwear. He hopes it's as far as they're going to go. Though, if for some reason they'll even make a move towards the last piece of clothing he has on, Luhan is so going to bite Baekhyun's hand and knee him, and he's pretty sure they're standing the right way for his knee to hit where it counts.
Fortunately, neither of the boys seem to be interested in his underwear (though he imagines the judging stares at the pattern that might be of cupcakes). Instead of that, they actually start dressing him back, which kind of confused Luhan even more, kind of pleases him. He's not sure what they're making him wear, though.
In a few minutes (because Luhan isn't really making things easy, just for the little fun he can have at the moment) they're done with the pants and shoes and Luhan feels them starting with a shirt.
At this point Luhan calms down a bit. He still has no idea what's going and what is their ridiculous reason for all this kidnapping and undressing stuff, but since he's wearing clothes now, he feels a bit more confident. And Luhan's getting bored, so he decides he'll make it more fun.
He waits for when they're done with buttons of the shirt and he goes for it: Luhan licks Baekhyun's hand (hoping he washes his hands after he uses toilet). The boy is surprised and takes his hand away with loud "Ew!". So Luhan knees him when he guesses he can.
It turns out Luhan's aim when he's blindfolded is much better than when he's not, Luhan thinks amusedly hearing Baekhyun's high scream.
"Can you be quicker? Getting manhandled like this isn't fun at all," he says.
"We'll be done in a moment, ge," Tao answers, sounding too amused than it's appropriate. Luhan's pretty sure the younger boy has a hard time not laughing at Baekhyun. On the other hand, he can actually hear Sehun's quiet chuckling.
Luhan snorts, but lets them to put once more thing on him. Then somebody does something to his hair and he's getting pushed again, he hopes towards the door.
And, yes, Luhan is pushed outside the room and dragged somewhere again, by Tao and Baekhyun this time. He recognizes the other by the rough hold on his arm and slight limping, which amuses Luhan quite a lot. He think he hears Sehun walking in front of them.
Then they slow him down and there's a sound of another door opening. And now he's actually dragged out delicately, which is pretty confusing.
Also, the moment he steps through the door, outside of the building, Luhan's sure, a song starts playing.
The song. The one he never remembers the name of, but knows as the wedding song.
Luhan feels even more confused. And a bit scared, too.
Sehun takes off Luhan's blindfold and first thing he finally sees is the boy's grin. Luhan almost smiles back.
Almost.
Because he notices they're on a beach, with lots of white chairs nicely set up and lots of people sitting on those chairs, and then some kind of green thing slash table decorated with flowers to which Tao is skipping now, and people are smiling and are dresses nicely and his friends are all grinning at him happily. Luhan frowns very, very hard, because it kind of looks like...
Like a wedding.
Luhan looks in panic at Sehun. Only now he notices the boy is wearing a suit.
He looks at himself and he's actually wearing one, too.
"Let's go. Yeol-hyung is coming in a moment," Sehun says and drags Luhan further, through a nice little alley made between the chairs, towards Tao.
Luhan's too much in shock to do anything else but to bow to the members of Chanyeol's family that he knows, a few of their professors from college(!) and a few more people. He lets himself be dragged and then situated in the center.
Even then, it takes a few more moments before Luhan somehow calms down and is able to think somewhat clearly.
"What is going on?" he whispers to the Tao, who obviously is a pastor, and his own best men, as in Sehun and Jongin, and Chanyeol's best men, Minseok and Kyungsoo. The other are sitting in the front row, all happy and pretending to be tearing up at their friends getting married.
Sehun, Jongin and Tao hear the whisper and look at Luhan flatly. Because, really what he's thinking is going on.
"But- Why- How- Did you-" Luhan is trying to say something, but he's still to confused. "But did you really have to do this kidnapping thing?" he manages finally.
"It was more fun this way," Minseok answers, shrugging. Others nod.
Luhan makes an unexplainable sound at the answer. He decides not to ask anything anymore. He's only partly surprised, because, really, those dumbasses doing ridiculous things never is a surprise.
Suddenly, the song starts again and louder.
Luhan winces at the suddenness and starts looking around trying to figure out what's happening now.
He snorts in surprise seeing Chanyeol in suit, with a bouquet of flowers in his hands and his mother next to him.
"Really?" he murmurs at Tao who's standing the closest.
"If we gave you flowers, you'd whine you're too manly," Tao whispers, putting on his serious face. He isn't a friend of the grooms right now; he is the pastor.
Luhan rolls his eyes at that, but he knows it's true, he most likely would.
Chanyeol and his mother approach them and Luhan bows at the woman. She smiles at him and walks to her chair.
Luhan then looks at Chanyeol, who's smiling at him softly, and he can't help but smile back.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Tao begins. "We've gathered here today-"
And it's as far as Luhan hears as he ignores the rest. He knows he probably should be listening, but he doesn't feel like it. He uses the time when Tao's babbling stuff to really look around.
Luhan sees smiling people looking at them. Really smiling people. Like they're happy for Luhan and Chanyeol. It makes him feel warm in his heart, looking at them.
The ones that catch him looking smile specifically at him and Luhan can't help but feel a bit like crying.
He's a little sad he doesn't see his family here, but he knows better. It's possible one of the boys tried contacting them, maybe, but he knows what answer they would get. He just knows better.
But as Chanyeol's grandmother, the one whom he met a few weeks ago and who came to like him immediately and spent the whole day spoiling him and joined Chanyeol's mother in showing him the boy's pictures of when he was little and telling stories, when she catches his eyes and grins at him, he doesn't mind his family not being here at all.
Somehow, the whole thing is too happy. The people here are too happy. The people that know it's kind of a weird ceremony, kind of a fake one, kind of not even accepted in Korea, but they are still are here and happy for the two boys.
Luhan's all smiley and happy, lost in his mind when he feel somebody nudging him. He looks up and sees Chanyeol grinning at him happily. Luhan grins back what makes Chanyeol chuckle and only then Luhan realizes Tao's still talking and now he should start paying attention.
"Do you, Park Chanyeol," Tao starts and Luhan's glad Chanyeol made him pay attention again, "take Lu Han to be your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?"
Luhan gasps in surprise and in awe at Tao reciting that all, not even reading out of anything, and full of feelings and drama and stuff.
"I do," Chanyeol answers, smiling at Luhan, who gets a very, very weird feeling in his stomach hearing the answer; a weird but pleasant one.
"Do you, Lu Han, "Tao continues, "take Park Chanyeol to be your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?"
The weird, pleasant feeling grows at the question, but it makes him grin.
"I do," Luhan answers, looking at Chanyeol.
Tao almost smiles at his adorable hyungs, but in the end he manages to hold it in. He glances at Sehun, who nods and approaches the two. He opens the little box he's holding and shows two rings.
Luhan snorts still grinning at how their friends have really figured everything out. He reaches for a ring first. Then he takes Chanyeol's hand.
"I, Lu Han, give you, Park Chanyeol, this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you," he recites, remembering the line from a movie he watched with a few of their friends a few days ago. At least now he understand why they all were giggling so hard during the wedding scene. Slowly, he puts the ring on Chanyeol's ring finger.
Chanyeol bits his lower lip, trying to hide how happy he is hearing that. He takes a few seconds looking at and enjoying his own ring. Only then he takes the other other one.
"I give you this ring, as I give to you all that I am, and accept from you, all that you are," he says softly, putting the ring on Luhan's finger.
Tao nods happily and continues.
"And now, by the power vested in me by the State of New York, I hereby pronounce you husband and husband." Luhan frowns at Tao. New York? How? He's been in Korea all this time. "You may now kiss," Tao announces and Luhan stops caring anymore.
Luhan grabs Chanyeol's tie, which along the suit makes him look even more ridiculously handsome, and pulls him down for the kiss.
*
Soon later everything is done, all Tao wants is signed and the pastor job is finished, for which he gets quite a proud kiss from Sehun, when Luhan and Chanyeol get thrown into the crowd to be manhandled again.
It's Chanyeol's parents who get to them first, though. His father hugs Chanyeol first, but his mother stand in front of Luhan and takes both of his hands.
"Welcome to the family, son," she says with a wide smile and embraces Luhan tightly. He hugs her back with all his might.
"Thank you, mom," he whispers quietly.
The woman told him to call her mom when they first met, but somehow it feels different now, more real.
She pulls away the hug with her smile looking even happier.
"My turn," Chanyeol's dad says, delicately pushing his wife to the side, and then embracing Luhan.
Luhan chuckles happily.
*
Some time later Luhan feels like it's been forever that all those people took hugging them and congratulating and telling things and explaining and Luhan just can't be happier knowing that part is over and he can just go, sit down and eat, finally.
"Wait." Sehun's hand on Luhan's arm stops him. He glares at the boy; waiting is one of the last things he feels like doing at the moment. But Sehun only smiles and points to somewhere.
Luhan looks. He sees grinning Chanyeol and quite lots of people in front of him, waiting excitedly. He takes a moment, but he finally realizes that they're all waiting for Chanyeol to throw the flower bouquet and laughs.
Then he glances at Sehun and pushes him towards the crowd. The boy chuckles, but goes.
Luhan stays and observes the crowd, then to notice that they're all just unmarried people, regardless of the gender and age. He even sees one of their professors among them.
Finally Chanyeol's throwing the bouquet, accompanied by lots of happy and ridiculous yells in hopes of catching it.
Seconds later Jongin, who has got distracted by adorably jumping Kyungsoo, feels something falling into his hands. He looks down and, well, shockingly he sees the bouquet.
Jongin looks around and other people just laugh at his confused face. And with the game done, they are more than happy to go to their food, walking by Jongin and patting his arms or congratulating him.
Kyungsoo is the last one to go and he smiles at Jongin with his heart-shaped smile making him feel like he can't do this anymore.
"Kyungsoo-hyung, d-do you-" he starts and hesitates. Kyungsoo only nods, wanting him to continue. Jongin gulps. "Do you want to- to share the bouquet?" He smiles shyly at the older.
"I do," Kyungsoo answers properly, chuckling after saying that and reaches his hands to Jongin's, the one that's holding the bouquet.
Jongin smiles in happiness as he covers Kyungsoo's hands with his free one.
They keep smiling and looking at each other like for good few moments, when suddenly they hear clapping. At first it's quiet, obviously done by a person or two, and then the number raises and the applause gets louder.
Confused, Kyungsoo and Jongin look around, only to see all the people looking at them.
Glancing at each other, the two chuckle shyly.
