The Pain of The Past
Author's POV
Luhan brings Nayeon to his office after the check up because he has no heart to left her home alone. But most of all because he is scared he would miss her to dead.
Luhan keeps staring at Nayeon who focusly watches a news on TV. He should work on his paper but he can't help but to stare at her. She is just a strong magnetic to him. Whenever she is around, all he did is staring at her, admiring her beauty.
"Hey, boss, what are you doing there?" Nayeon asks Luhan. She realizes his eyes never leave her, she starts to think that she disturbs him.
"I'm watching you watching TV" Luhan chuckles as he rests his chin on his palm.
"You should focus on your paper Mr. Lu, or else Suho will whine again, you should be nice to him" Nayeon chuckles back. She remembers how Suho reaction when they come. Suho totally frown miserably to Luhan and he even whines to Nayeon, asking her to discipline her fiance.
"But-----"
"Oh my God, Luhan, I think I should go out for a while, you need to focus" Nayeon stands up from her seat and walks to the door.
"Hey, where are you going?" Luhan giggles at Nayeon. He knows Nayeon is a teaser.
"Maybe hanging out with Suho" Nayeon winks and leaves Luhan alone. Luhan just smiles like an idiot. Nayeon knows when she should leave him alone or not. This time Luhan really need to be alone, finishing his task alone, because Nayeon is his biggest distraction.
Luhan starts facing his laptop and continues his paper. But after 10 minutes, his phone buzzes. He gets a message from Fei jie. Luhan furrows his brows when he reads her message.
'Han, let's have dinner together, at my place, bring Nayeon with you and dress nicely'
Actually nothing odd about Fei jie asking him to have a dinner together with Nayeon. But what makes it odd is she asked them to dress nicely. Luhan knows Fei jie inviting another person to the dinner. But he doesn't know who.
***
Nayeon is really hanging out with Suho in a cafe near the office. Nayeon and Suho talks about Luhan for a while. Since Nayeon is a girl, she has a curiousity about Luhan's past.
"Suho, did you know about Luhan's ex?" Nayeon asks. Her heart starts beating so fast. She is nervous and curious. She knows this kind of topic will lead to a heartache but she still dares to ask.
"He never has one, here in Korea, as long as I know" Suho talks and drinks his coffee.
"Really?" Nayeon raises her brow and her lips form a smile.
"Yeah, he never likes commitment, he likes a freedom, he always think that commitment will take his freedom away" Suho smiles to Nayeon.
"But you change his world, he really is sure that you're his other half" Nayeon's heart flutters when Suho tells her so. Flowers bloom inside her heart and butterflies fill her stomach. She is the happiest girl alive.
"I hope you two the happiest life-----" Before Suho could finish his sentence, his phone vibrates.
'Bring me back my bride, I finish the paper, right now' Suho laughs as he shows Nayeon his phone. Nayeon chuckles and shakes her head slightly.
"Let me buy him a coffee first" Nayeon sips her ice tea before she walks to the counter for ordering Luhan's coffee. She knows Luhan is tired and he will definitely love it.
***
When Nayeon walks with Suho to Luhan's office, Luhan already there, infront of his office, crossing his arms while tapping his foot impatiently.
"Luhan" Nayeon waves innocently and walks really fast to Luhan. She pecks Luhan's cheek and walks pass him to his office.
"Suho-ssi" Luhan narrows his eyes at Suho. Suho walks closer to take Luhan's paper from his hand.
"You didn't say something bad about me, right?" Luhan wriggles his brows. Suho chuckles and gives his thumb up.
"Don't worry, I talked about you nicely" Suho smiles and Luhan smiles back.
"I know I can count on you, now don't disturb me" Luhan pats Suho's back before he gets in to his office.
When Luhan gets in, he saw Nayeon sitting on his chair while closing her eyes. Luhan smiles and he really admires her. He slowly getting closer to her and pecks her lips, making her open her eyes.
"Luhan, here, I buy you this" Nayeon points her finger at the coffee on the desk. Luhan follows her finger and finds americano there. He chuckles and ruffles Nayeon's hair.
"Thank you" Luhan grabs it and drinks it. Nayeon watches him with a smile on her face, she loves the face he made when he tastes the bitterness of the coffee.
"Hey, that's my place" Luhan whines cutely to Nayeon after he finishes his coffee. Nayeon giggles and weight herself down when Luhan tries to pull her up.
"That's my chair" Luhan starts chuckling with Nayeon when she keeps playing around with him.
"Hah, I know" Luhan lets her hand go and laughs. Luhan scoops her body and lifts her body up from the chair. Nayeon screams lowly and chuckles with Luhan.
Luhan turns around and sits on his chair with Nayeon on his laps. They stare at each other and the next second they smile softly. Nayeon slowly moves her hands to his neck and hugs it. Luhan smiles as he feels her breath on his neck when Nayeon rests her chin on his shoulder. He really loves how does it feel.
"Baby" Nayeon whispers softly to him and it makes Luhan shiver.
"Hmm?" Luhan hums as he wraps his arms around her waist. Moment like this is a moment that he wants to cherish. When they skin touch each other, sending a warmth vibe to one another.
"I just want to hear your voice" Nayeon talks as she closes her eyes, feels his scent lingering on her nose.
"Fei jie invite us for dinner" Luhan talks after he remembers about his sister's text.
"Hm?" Nayeon pulls away from Luhan and looks at him with a smile "Really? I miss Min" She continues.
"Yes, but this time we need to dress nicely, I think she invite another person" Luhan smiles softly to Nayeon.
"Who?" Nayeon raises her brows.
"I don't know" Luhan just shrugs and Nayeon bulges her eyes slightly. There is a horror in her eyes because all inside her mind is this two person she never met. Luhan's parents.
***
Luhan puts down his collar and stares at his reflection. He fixes his hair and sighs. He thinks about this over and over again. He thinks Fei jie inviting their parents. But he knows his sister will tell him if it's so.
"What's inside your mind?" Nayeon asks Luhan as she gives him a warm backhug. She watches him staring blankly earlier and she witnesses his depressed expression.
"Nothing babe" Luhan talks as he turns around. His eyes widen and his lips make a sweet smile when he sees his fiance. She is so breath taking with the black dress hugging her body perfectly.
"You're so beautiful" Luhan compliments her and she just smiles to him. She still feels the hotness on her cheeks eventhough he often tells her that she is beautiful. The feeling is too overwhelming.
"And hot" Luhan continues as he checks out her cleavage.
"Of course, my pervert boy" Nayeon hits his chest softly and chuckles at him.
"Hurry up baby, Fei jie waits for us" Nayeon reminds him as she fixes Luhan's bangs.
"I know" Luhan whispers. He keeps staring at her cleavage and he feels so hot. He turns his sight to her face and leans closer to her.
"Babe, I can fix it by myself, you need to run away right now" Luhan talks in a breathy voice. Nayeon glances at him and smirks.
"I get it" She bites her lips to tease him more. She knows it whenever he asks her to run away, he starts to feel horny but they need to go somewhere. He just doesn't want to ruin her make up and her dress because they need to attend an event.
***
Heart beats so fast, in anticipation and expectation. Nayeon grips on Luhan's hand tight as they walk after the maid who guides them to the dining room. Right infront of the dining room, Luhan stops on his track. He was right, his parents were there. They smile to Luhan but he can't return it. He stiffen like a statue.
On the other hand, Nayeon looks at Luhan, asking for help. She is so nervous right now, finally she meets her in law. She feels so helpless when Luhan just stares blankly at them.
"Auntie Nayeon!" It was Min who breaks the silence first. Surprised because her name being mentioned, Nayeon turns her face in instant. She smiles to Min and waves at him eventhough she knows her movement is just like a robot.
"Han" A gentle voice that Luhan never heard in these past years, a voice that opens up an old scar, a voice that awaken his madness.
Luhan makes an eye contact with his father and his world becomes blurry. He is holding his tears from falling. He didn't feel moved because they meet again after all these years, he just feels angry from the root of his heart.
"Han" Another gentle and sweet voice calls his name. But this additional voice just adds some pains to his old scar. The voice that once singing him a lullaby, the voice that once giving him a secure feeling, the voice that yelling at him harshly in the end. His mother's voice.
Those voices just give him pain, those voices just grow his madness, those voices just make him angrier than before. Without his reaization, he withdraws his hand from Nayeon too harshly. It makes Nayeon gasp but when she turns her face to Luhan, he already walks away.
"Luhan!" Fei jie stands up from her seat and runs after Luhan, leaving Nayeon alone with the in law.
***
Fei runs after her brother and grabs his wrist. Luhan turns his face and he looks so agry. Fei never saw him this angry before. She was wrong when she thinks time will heal his scar. His scar still there.
"Luhan please, just this time" Fei talks softly.
"No! Why didn't you tell me?" Luhan raises his voice to Fei. Fei bites her lips because she feels a little bit of guilt.
"Because I know you wouldn't come if I told you" Fei gives Luhan a look, a miserable one.
"You know it by yourself how they treat us! They treat us like a doll!!" Luhan yells to Fei and Fei falls into a speechless. They share a look at each other and Fei could see how broke he is through his eyes. She watches her brother's teary eyes and the flashback comes to their mind.
<<<Flashback
"Stop it dad, none of us want this marriage" Luhan talks as polite as he could eventhough he is ready to explode anytime.
"No, it's the only way to save the company" His father talks sternly and Luhan starts to feel like his parents used him for the company.
"Did you use me?!" Luhan raises his tone.
"Han!" His mother scolds him and Luhan just glares at her.
"It's for the company, Han, right after you were born, we already arranged your future" His father starts raising his voice, higher than Luhan's tone.
"How dare you to arrange my life?!" Luhan hits the coffee table infront of him and his mother jolts from her seat. Luhan is ready to fire another sentence when suddenly he feels a hard slap on his cheek.
"How dare you to talk like that?! I'm your father! I can do whatever I want to you and your sister, I can use you and your sister in any way! Both of you born to be used!" His father already screams to Luhan. Luhan then just stares blankly. He recalls every words that his father said.
He is so speechless. After all this time, he just realizes. His father treats him and his sister like a doll. Dolls which he used when he needs. The scar is right inside his heart, the pain is growing and killing him softly. In that moment, he knows, all he need to do is running away from them, from the authoritarian parents.
End of Flashback
"My scar is deeper than yours, I heard his words by myself, I felt how my heart fall apart, I experienced how my heart shatter into pieces" Luhan talks in his low tone. His low, sad tone. Fei bites her lips, she just realizes her brother's heart is deeper than the sea. She never knows, the pain will remain inside his heart, for this long. She always thinks that Luhan is a boy, he will use his brain, not his heart.
"I don't know why could you forgive them easily" Luhan continues and Fei stares at him with a sad face.
"Because they are my parents, our parents" She emphasizes the two last words and it hits Luhan's heart.
Luhan starts breathing heavily. He is so angry right now, to his sister and to himself. He is so angry because he envy his sister. She can forgive their parents easily whereas he couldn't. He really wants to forgive them and live a happy life together with them. But his pride never let him to. His pride is too high to do so.
"I still need time to heal my scar, enjoy your life with them" Luhan talks miserably and pulls his hand away from Lufei. He gives his sister the last look, the look that beg for her understanding, before he runs to his car and leaves them all. He needs to be alone.
