The Truth (1/1)

Luhan had finished bringing his things into his newly shared room. It was a plain space, not much color, although there were traces of some kind of paint on parts of the floor. Overall, it was nice though, minus the pair of glaring eyes cuddling with Daehyun on the couch. Youngjae had come straight to Zelo’s apartment and placed himself on the couch, refusing to leave regardless of Zelo’s complaining.“Jae hyung, I’m fine! I can take care of myself you know.”Youngjae jumped off the couch dislodging Daehyun who ended up on the floor.“No, you are not fine. Look at him, he is just waiting for me to leave and then, BAM. Straight to intensive care.”Zelo rolled his eyes and looked at Luhan who was trying to act like nothing was going on, but Zelo could see he was uncomfortable.“You think that you are the thing that is stopping him from hurting me?”Youngjae snorted and puffed out his chest.“Of course I do. My masculine image is intimidating him.”Both Zelo and Luhan stifled a laugh and Youngjae put his hand on his hip pouting.“Well I can tell when I am not wanted. Come on Dae baby, we are leaving.”As soon as Daehyun had been pulled out the door and it was shut tight behind them, Zelo burst into laughter.“I can literally feel the gay radiating off him when he speaks.”Luhan frowned.“What is wrong with being gay?”Zelo blushed and bit his lip.“Uh…N-nothing. He just. Um. Plays the part. I have nothing against. Um. Gay people.”Zelo managed to stutter out, only to get a questioning glance from the feminine boy who had walked across the room and was a few feet from Zelo now. Luhan had his hands in his pockets and tried his best to look innocent, which wasn’t hard, but Zelo still had his doubts.“Good. Because I like gay people.”Luhan smirked and patted Zelo’s shoulder, noticing the astonished look on his face. Zelo just stood dumbfounded, how did he know? No one knows. Luhan turned and walked back to his side of the apartment. Zelo shook his head, He couldn’t really know anything, right? It was just a crush anyways, no one knew. Zelo tried to make the atmosphere a little less suffocating by changing the subject.“Sorry about him by the way.”Luhan looked up from the clothes he was folding.“He gets really protective.”Luhan nodded and the two of them stood there in an awkward silence for a few minutes before Luhan brought it up.“I uh, really wanted to apologize, you see..”But Zelo cut him off.“Don’t. It’s not the worst thing that has happened to me.”Luhan looked at his questioningly.“Kai broke my nose once, along with cracking my cheekbone, and I broke my hand in the fall. I can live with bruises and things where no one sees. But not my face, I like to keep that intact.”Luhan dropped his head ashamed of the things that his friends had done to the innocent boy before him.“They really are nice guys, you just have to get to know them.”They once again sat in silence. This time it was Zelo who broke it.“Really don’t feel bad, I can take care of myself.”He got up and headed to the kitchen, Luhan sat with his head low.“But I do feel bad, I hate seeing the fights and the things they do to people.”Zelo looked up from the fridge, slightly accusing the other.“You did it to me, what’s the difference?”Luhan peeked up at him through his honey blonde hair.“I didn’t want to, but I had to, there was no other way.”Zelo tried to speak again but Luhan kept talking.“You wouldn’t understand. I would be a pathetic peasant to the kings right now.”Then he looked up apologetically at the ‘peasant’ Zelo.“That day, after…Well you know.”He shrugged uncomfortably pulling his knees up close to himself.“I went home and cried. I didn’t show up for school the whole next week. I wouldn’t talk to anyone, not even Sehun. All I could do was think of the horrible things I had done to you. All for a boy. So I brought you gifts, I left them at the front desk of the hospital so no one would see me. I was afraid to face you.”Zelo stood shocked.“Tha-That was y-you?”Luhan looked up with a sad smile on his face.“So you did get them, I'm glad.”“You mean, all the flowers, balloons, cookies? That was you?”Luhan nodded and looked up at him with bambi eyes.“I felt bad. It was all I could do. I couldn’t lose my place in EXO, so I didn’t say anything or link myself to any of it.”Zelo met his eyes and saw wet tear tracks down each side of Luhans face. he walked to the older boy trying to figure out what was wrong, but Luhan looked away, putting his face back into his knees, sobbing softly.“I think I understand, but why would you join EXO if you don’t like anything about it?”Luhan shook his head sadly.“Sehun.”*Jongin smirked and pulled his cherry red sports car into a parking space and hopped out. Kyungsoo and Kris pulled up next to him and they both swung themselves out into the parking lot. Xiumin and Suho jumped out of Kai’s car.“I don’t think this is a good idea.”Xiumin had been trying to get Kai to turn around since the moment they left. Sehun jumped out of Kyingsoo’s convertible, followed by Lay and Chen.“I agree with Baozi. It’s not our business Kai.”Kai turned to Sehun.“Are you afraid for your boy toy Cinderella?”Sehun glared at him and took a step foreward, but Tao and Chanyeol pushed between them.“This isn’t going to help anything.”Kai looked at Tao with a smirk.“Are you sure about that, Panda? Maybe the Princess needs to be taught a lesson.”Suddenly Kai was right in front of Sehun.“Just leave it be Kai. You never were good at that though were you? Always sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong.”The group was shifting from foot to foot. Waiting for something to happen.“At least I can keep my nose pretty.”And without warning Kai hit Sehun square in the face making his stumble back, but Lay and Baekhyun were there to catch him. Sehun covered his face but couldn’t keep the blood from flowing out his nose. He hoped Luhan had his phone close, otherwise he was in for a big surprise. Please let him get my message in time.Kai tipped his head to the side and motioned for the others to follow. Tao and Lay stayed behind with Sehun who was so out of it that he could no longer stand on his own.*Luhan sniffled and pulled out his phone, blinking the tears away to read the message.“Oh, shit.”Zelo looked at him confused, but before he could ask the door was flung open revealing a very cocky Kai followed by seven others, one of which Zelo recognized as Xiuimin.“Well hello there wall flower. I see you have befriended our dear bambi.”Luhan glared at him and stood up, making his way to the doorway.“I know what you are thinking, don’t do it Kai.”Mid thought, Luhan stopped and his expression changed as he searched the faces behind him.“Where is he?”Luhan whispered threateningly, making Kai smile evilly.“WHERE IS HE!”It was a screaming demand this time and Luhan raced out the door, pushing past the other members of EXO.Once he was gone, Kai turned to Zelo who was now alone in the big room. Kai smirked and walked over to the pink haired boy.“Now what? You are all alone, with no one to save your sorry ass.”“Kai, I don’t think…”“Baozi, stay out of this.”But Xiumin didn’t take the advice, instead he stepped between Kai and Zelo.“Want me to bust your lip too? Move.”Kai tried to shove Xiuimin out of the way but it backfired and Kai ended up stumbling backwards. This was the moment that Yongguk decided to stroll in.“You dirty little bastard! How dare you touch me!”Just then Kai was pulled backwards and brought face to face with Yongguk.“Isn’t it wonderful to see you here?”Kai’s eyes grew wide and he tried to reply but only a whimper came out.“Why don’t you and your friends go play somewhere else?”Bang dropped the now pathetic looking Kai and let him scamper to the door where he composed himself and what little dignity he had left.“Until next time, Pinkie.”And he was out the door with everyone but Xiumin following him. As soon as the last member had disappeared down the stairs, the elevator opened and Sehun was drug out by the supporting shoulders of Luhan and Lay. Yongguk looked at the half conscious boy and raised an eyebrow.“This just got much more interesting.” A/NI am feeling ambitious and might get you another chapter by tomorrow night.for now, what do you think???Luhan isn't quite the bad guy you thought huh?
