Admiration (1/2)

"Wow."Luhan never expected to meet Sehun's grumpy face when he had barely gotten off the plane.

Nor did he expect that said boy would drag him out to the hall that's connected to the bathroom with a hysterical look on his face."What's going on?"

"I think I might like someone but this person doesn't even care, what do I do."

" . . . "

" . . . "

"What." "You're finally growing, Hunnie!"

"You're so embarrassing!"They were sitting at a table near the stage, Luhan's idea. Baekhyun and Chanyeol were on either side of Sehun, clinging to him like the proud fathers they pretended to be. If asked, Sehun would say they're his little brother's friends. The other three didn't pay much attention to that, since they were fully aware of their childish demeanor."So", Sehun turned from his black velvet to Baekhyun, who had a straw between his lips, not really drinking his pink beverage. "Let's get to the good stuff, who is this person and why do you like them"This is what Sehun likes about them the most. They can act childish and mock you, but when they truly care they can act all serious, making you feel glad that you're talking to them and not someone else."I'm not sure", he says looking back to his drink.The lights dim, meaning that the performances are about to begin. All four of them decide to look up at the stage, an unspoken promise to continue that conversation later.

Sehun doesn't know it, but they were actually just giving him some time so he could think through the question, as he had clearly not been able to do so.

Lay was the first performer. Sehun looked up at him, for the first time not paying attention to his movements, but to the man itself. What do I like about you, he asks himself in his mind.

He doesn't know how but the first three performances are over already when he comes back to his senses. His friends are nowhere to be seen and he sort of feels bad about the girl on stage that's being ignored by him. He can tell that her flirtatious smiles are directed at him but he can't bring himself to care."Look who's awake," a voice called as someone sat next to him.

"Where are the idiots I call friends?"

"The loud one is probably somewhere with a girl. A girl being your little buddy with the eyeliner. They're probably making out."

"What."

"Come on, Sehunnie! It's so obvious that they're into each other. They should be making out."

"They're too obvious, right?"

"As obvious as your little brother."They turned to find a giggling Luhan flirting with Xiumin. They were so into each other that a poor waitress had to act like a bargirl and prepare some of the drinks, since Xiumin had apparently forgotten where he was.

Sehun stood up and walked over, with Lay right behind him."I'd tell you not to stop them but I'm guessing that's not what you're after."

"I should have worn a dress shirt." "Are you sure it's okay?"

"I don't know, I don't drink so I couldn't tell even if I tried it."
