.like a dream
-like a dream I have met you, like a dream we loved;
(our love was as happy as a dream);
like a dream you have appeared; like a dream you have left.
- like a dream; apink
Oh Sehun looked around as he smiled to himself, now this is what you call a break, he muttered. He wiped his sweaty arms and chest with his white towel - which was covering his head a while ago. He was just in his grey wifebeater yet he still felt warm, not to mention the aircon of this shop he’s in was working quite well already.
He wrapped his hand on the cold plastic cup of his favorite bubble tea and grinned. He was glad he secretly skipped his dance practice after showing his self to the instructor for almost 10 minutes. He was pretty sure his cool gang will protect him and Jongin will come up with a good alibi; that was his specialty after all, other than dancing, of course.
Taking a sip, he playfully danced to the music coming from his headphones. He imagined his self-doing some cool dance moves with his dance crew. Still daydreaming, he absent-mindedly looked at the shop’s door and blankly stared at the customers coming inside. He was popping and locking in his imaginations until someone dared to disturb him.
Sehun looked up at the stranger that was staring at him with disbelief, happiness obviously on his face. He removed his headphones and was about to ask the stranger what he needed when he felt an awkward tension between them.
And then suddenly, without any warning, the stranger just grabbed him and kissed him.
Sehun’s eyes went wide when he felt the stranger titled his head, making him gasped in surprise; the stranger took advantage of it and slipped his tongue between his parted lips, probing deeply into his mouth. He was filled with disgust at first. But slowly, even as he struggled, a strange sensation came over him.
“Yixing, I’m so glad you came back,” the stranger said, smiling happily that made his big round eyes shine.
Regaining his scattered thoughts, Sehun’s brows furrowed as he pushed away the stranger. “You pervert!” He screamed, not even giving a damn if other customers were looking at them. (But they just kissed publicly so obviously customers’ attention was already at them.)
The cute stranger just laughed it off and touched the bridge of his nose. “You’re really cute like that. But stop the silly game you’re playing this time, Yixing.”
“Hey! You’ve been touching me so much, you pervert! And who the fuck is Yixing?!” He shrieked almost sounding like a girl.
“Stop it, Lay. It’s not funny anymore. You should give me a proper kiss to compensate the sin you did to me.” The stranger replied and was about to touch his face again.
Sehun stood up immediately and went away from the stranger. “I told you I’m not Yixing!” He said and re-iterated the word not. He picked his bubble tea instantly and went outside from the shop as fast as he could. He wanted to punch his self when he looked back and saw the stranger coming outside the shop too. “I’m Sehun!” He shouted again. He didn’t know why he did that but he came to conclude that it must be because he didn’t want his self to be mixed by other person’s personality.
Oh Sehun is Oh Sehun, he reasoned out.
He took a sip from his bubble tea again then he felt his cellphone rang. He looked at the screen and made a face when he saw Jongin’s name. “Hello?” He answered.
“Where are you this time?” Jongin asked, almost sounding like a nagging dad. “I didn’t cover you up pretty well so you need to be here by five minutes. Any interesting things happened?”
Sehun sighed and licked his lips as he remembered the stranger. “I just had my first kiss…”
“Boring.” Jongin commented.
“…with a stranger.” He continued.
“Cool!” Jongin exclaimed loudly on the other line. “Oh my fucking guys!!! Our youngest member had his first kiss in a broad daylight with a stra-“
Sehun cut the call off and rolled his eyes. He continued sipping his bubble tea and walking lazily as he took a turn on the next block. The practice studio was just really near.
He should just forget that pervert stranger. That was just a stranger after all.
Nothing hurts.
☆彡～
“Okay, we’re done for today!” The dance instructor commanded as he clapped his hand, a signal that their session was over. “Let’s meet again tomorrow and Oh Sehun, don’t skip again.” He ended.
Sehun shrugged and nodded without a thought. He gained a grin from Jongin and he replied it by rolling his eyes. He knew what’s going to happen next with the kind of look everyone was giving him. He immediately turned around, hoping to escape from an unwanted series of questions.
“Not so fast, Sehun.” The deep-voiced member of their crew stopped him, smiling like a creep as his eyes went wider. That was Chanyeol.
“What do you want?” He asked lazily, although he knew what they wanted base on the flicker of playfulness on their eyes.
Smiling widely, Baekhyun nudged him and touched his lips. “Your first kiss. We want details.”
His eyes went wide but he looked around and saw Kyungsoo’s eyes went wider than his, as if he was the one being grilled by the awkward command. “No! I mean, hyung, it was just a plain kiss from a stranger!” He reasoned out.
“You can’t escape from use, Sehuna. You know that.” Jongin smirked as he said that.
Sehun sometimes wondered if Jongin might be a good friend or the worst one. Jongin was a devil incarnate. “It was just a kiss.”
“How did it go?” That calm voice made Sehun gulp hard. It was no other that Junmyeon. He didn’t know why but Junmyeon had that power of authority in him that makes you weak … or something like that that makes you unable to defy him.
Clicking his tongue, Sehun gave up. “I was just sitting on my table when suddenly a perverted stranger came to me, grabbed me and kissed me … passionately, I-I-I think.” He said and he hated his self for stammering - and he wanted to dig a hole and hide there forever as he felt his cheeks burning. Fuck.
Everyone around him grinned, except Kyungsoo whose eyes went wider than ever.
“Describe the stranger.” Chanyeol commanded playfully.
“Pervert.” He simply answered.
“That means he’s physically attractive?” Jongin asked.
“But hey, I’m not a pervert-” Chanyeol shouted and thankfully Baekhyun covered his mouth even before he could finish his sentence.
“Yes. I mean, no!” He clarified. He looked at Junmyeon and saw him smiling blindingly. “Okay, he’s cute, with big round eyes that seems to be always smiling. He has a really small face and pale skin. His lips are thin, pink and soft … his hair was dyed blond? No, I don’t know what the color to be quite honest is. He was just plainly cute and looked like a lost kid.” He ended.
Sehun groaned in frustration when he looked around and saw everyone’s sheepish smile.
Then they decided to go home.
☆彡～
Sehun literally almost slipped from the stairs on his way out from the practice room when he saw that familiar guy who was sitting on the last step. Maybe his friends noticed it so everyone looked at him, wondering what happened. Then the stranger that was sitting on the stairs looked at them through his shoulders then smiled as he stood up.
“Hi. I was waiting for you.” The stranger said in a loud voice, making Chanyeol and Jongin whistle playfully.
Sehun looked around, hoping the stranger was talking with somebody else but him - but it was of no use. “What are you doing here?!” He asked in disbelief.
“He’s cute …” Chanyeol started.
“…with big round eyes that seems smiling …” Jongin continued.
“He has a really small face …” Baekhyun stated.
Kyungsoo looked at them with round eyes, as if asking what was going on. Baekhyun nudged him as he whispered, and has pale skin. “And has pale skin.” Kyungsoo said.
“Thin pink lips and hair dyed blond.” Junmyeon ended. “So you must be the guy who dared to kiss our youngest member on broad daylight.” He concluded.
The stranger just eyed them, amusement visible on his face as smile slowly tugged on his lips. “So he talked about me to you?” He asked.
“No, they were asking -” Sehun tried to reason out.
“Yixing, I didn’t know you got new friends.” The stranger cut him and smiled. “Hi, I’m Luhan, by the way.” He introduced his self and gave everyone that really cute smile. “I’m his boyfriend.” He ended, almost bragging.
“Yixing?” everyone asked, surprised. Then then came up with a thought that desperate!Sehun must have faked his name. Interesting.
Chanyeol teased Sehun and pushed him playfully but was a bit too much as the latter almost fell from the stairs. “The fuck, hyung!” Sehun whined but was surprised when his left hand was now being held and captured by the guy named Luhan.
Everyone teased him again then he felt his self being dragged by Luhan away from them. “Let’s go home.”
Jongin grinned playfully at him. “Bye, Yixing!”
He eyed Jongin telling fuck you, I’m Sehun.
Just who the fuck is Yixing?! He asked his mind but couldn’t come up with an answer. He felt his mind going in circles as he stayed staring at his clasped hand with Luhan’s.
What the fuck is happening?
“Hey! I told you I’m not Yixing so can you please let me go?” He stated.
☆彡～
“So did you two made love all night?” That loud voice of Chanyeol made Sehun choke from his own saliva.
“Hyung, if you’re going to ask an immoral question like that, can you please make your voice lower?” Sehun mocked.
Chanyeol shrugged. “I was actually already whispering.”
“Wow.” He praised sarcastically.
“So, Yixing, we want details again.” Jongin playfully teased him.
Sighing desperately, Sehun combed his hand through his hair. “I kicked him in the balls when he dragged me. So he was forced to let me go as he cried in pain and was on his knees.” He told them the truth then stared at Jongin. “And don’t call me Yixing, Kai. I don’t like it. I’m Sehun - and who the fuck knows who Yixing is.
“Why was he calling you Yixing then?” Baekhyun asked a serious question for the first time, making Chanyeol eye him intently.
Sehun thought for a while but wasn’t sure of the answer he came up with. “He’s mistaking me as another person, I think.” He frowned.
☆彡～
“Of course, he would be here.” Jongin stated mouthed Luhan as he grinned at Sehun.
Sehun rolled his eyes and looked at the guy Jongin meant that was waiting for him outside the
building. At first, it was a pain in the ass but he gradually got used to it. He got used being called Yixing.
“Hey, Luhan,” he greeted as he went down the stairs.
Luhan immediately stood up and smiled at him. He then handed the cup of bubble tea to Sehun. “Shall we have dinner together?”
Accepting the bubble tea, Sehun smiled secretly as he heard his friends playfully coughing. “Okay.”
He agreed. He didn’t know why but when Luhan didn’t grab his hand, it felt incomplete.
His hand moved on its own and grabbed Luhan’s.
☆彡～
They were just having a simple dinner at the nearby fast-food restaurant. Sehun knew he didn’t
know Luhan that much yet, other than his name and that he was fun to be with. And of course, the fact that he was really cute. It wasn’t seemed like he was taking advantage of being mistaken as another person. In fact, he planned to tell Luhan again he is not Yixing.
“How was the practice?” Luhan asked.
Sehun looked up and smiled. “It was good! We made a new dance move. And guess what? The competition is just around the corner. I’m pretty excited and nervous at the same time but I know the crew I’m in will do well.” He realized he talked so much so he gave an apologetic smile.
Luhan just smiled sweetly. “I’m so glad to hear about that. I’m pretty much surprised you went back from China. Is it because of your dance crew? I remember you love dancing so much.”
The piece of chicken that was on Sehun’s mouth got chewed on its tiniest fiber. So this Yixing guy is Chinese, so must be Luhan. And Yixing loved dancing too. Do we look exactly the same? He took a sip from his soda and just nodded as an answer.
Luhan stayed silent for a while and just kept eyeing Sehun. Sehun stayed silent too and continued eating, making himself busy.
“Yixing, how about moving back to my place?”
Sehun’s eyes went wide as he looked up at Luhan. He wanted to say no but the hope that was on the man’s eyes made him weak for an unknown reason. He really wasn’t sure but he didn’t want to hurt Luhan. He then felt his hand being cupped by Luhan’s, warmth coated it and his heart leapt as he stared up at him.
“My life is so empty without you. Please move back with me.” Luhan was literally begging.
He didn’t know why but Sehun found himself answering, “I’ll think about it.”
☆彡～
“Got a problem?” Jongin asked and sat beside Sehun.
Sehun looked at his friend and sighed, “Luhan.”
Jongin nodded, as if he already knew. “You have fallen in love with that perverted stranger.”
“No!” Sehun’s eyes went wide as he disagreed. “I mean, I just kept company with him… he seemed lonely.”
“You care for him.” Jongin stated. “And I’m pretty sure you are bothered by it. He sees you as Yixing, not Sehun.”
Sehun found himself nodding in agreement. “And he wants me to move to his place.” He spilled.
Jongin made an oh but no sound came. “Then? You want to move in but not sure if you should?”
He heaved a deep sigh. “I just care for Luhan, okay. But man, I want him to stop seeing me as Yixing! God damn it.”
“But the only way to move in with him is to pretend as Yixing.” Jongin said as a matter-of-factly.
“I think I’m heading out to a big mess.”
“Seize the present and let the future take care of itself.” Jongin gave him a mysterious smile before standing up and left him completely alone.
Alright, I’ll enjoy the moment of being with Luhan. I’ll soon face the consequences.
He thought.
He decided to move in with that stranger. And he gave a thought of what Jongin said. He might really be in love with Luhan over the short period of time.
For the very first time, Sehun was thankful he has Jongin. He concluded he’s a good friend.
☆彡～
One day, Sehun found himself packing his stuffs to bring it over on Luhan’s place. Funny how he and Luhan just met but they will start living together now.
Browsing on the contact numbers of his phone, Sehun paused then dialed Luhan’s. “Hey, I’m moving into your place today.” He said. He heard Luhan laugh on the other line. He smiled to his self as he bit his lower lip. Luhan told him the address and he decided to go.
☆彡～
Sehun took a deep breath before pressing the doorbell for Luhan’s unit. He lazily put down his huge bag on the tiled floor as he waited for the door to open. After a few seconds, it did and he was greeted with Luhan’s face but something seemed wrong.
There was no recognition.
“Who are you?” Luhan asked, puzzled.
Sehun knotted his forehead as he stared back at Luhan. What the fuck is happening here? He asked his mind. “Uhm, sorry I think I got the wrong unit.” He lied. Somehow, fear started covering his whole being. He picked up his huge bag as fast as he could before turning around to leave.
Now, he found himself going to the practice room, still carrying his stuffs.
☆彡～
“So, are you moving in with Luhan today?” Jongin asked Sehun as soon as the latter went inside the room, dropping his huge bag on the floor.
“I already did.” Sehun answered as he heaved a sigh.
“Did?” Everyone asked in a loud voice - and in unison.
Sehun looked down on the floor as everyone started giving him a weird look. “Something went wrong.” He said.
“Everything was wrong right from the start.” Junmyeon stated.
He looked at Junmyeon, hopelessly but ended up nodding in agreement. “But I don’t know. I just called him up this morning and told him I’m coming over so he gave me his address. When I was already outside his place, he asked me who the fuck I was.” He then let out a sigh of exasperation.
Everyone stared at him with disbelief too.
“He didn’t see you as Yixing right there.” Kyungsoo concluded.
Jongin’s eyes went wide as he stared at Sehun. “Sehun, sorry to say; but what if Luhan is mentally ill?”
That made Sehun freeze as what Jongin said hit him hard.
