Part time job (Luhans POV)
"What was that man, why're you telling us to not pick on Minseok anymore, its fun!" Baekhyun say, he sounded disappointed that he couldn't tease someone.
"I'm bored of it now..." I answer while walking into the cafeteria and getting into the line to get my food.
"Or he just has a soft side for Minseok now cause he helped him to the nurses office." Chen says, poking my arm which just got me annoyed, I swatted Chen's hand away.
"I told you I don't like him." I answer, finally getting my tray and going to get my food.
Once we were done getting our food, we walked to the table we usually sat at. "What's up you guys?" A voice could be heard from behind me.
"Hey Tao" Chen says while Tao walked up to us and placed his tray of food onto the table and sat down beside me.
"What're we talking about?" He asks, already picking up his chopsticks.
"Luhan's acting weird today" Chen points out, poking me on the cheek with one chopstick.
"Yah, don't touch me with that" I say in an annoyed tone, moving my head back a bit while Chen brought his chopstick away from my face.
"Why're you acting different today Luhan?" Tao questions, turning his head to look at me.
"I'm not acting differently. They just want to pick on Minseok but I'm getting bored of it." I explain, starting to eat my lunch.
"You mean the fat kid?" Tao questions and Chen and Baekhyun nodded.
"If I was in your class I'd pick on him too. He looks like he has a teasing face" Tao chuckles to himself which I couldn't help but smirk to.
"Maybe he's changing because of that girl he did it with! It was an older girl, so she might've told him its not nice to bully~" Baekhyun teases, but I ignored him.
"You guys, its Saturday tomorrow... You're all coming to the party, right?" Tao questions, looking at Baekhyun, Chen and I.
"We're all coming, right guys?" Chen asks and Baekhyun nodded while I looked down. Will I be able to go? I have work, don't I? "Luhan, you're coming too right?" Chen questions, waiting for me to give him is response.
I nodded "for sure, are we all going together?" I agreed without thinking about it but Chen shrugged his shoulders to my question.
"I was thinking you could pick us up since you're the one with the car." Chen points out, still talking to me.
"Sure that's cool" I say, picking at the food inside my tray.
When the end of the day came, I looked back at Minseok and saw Minseok was looking down into the new book his was reading.
Should I go up to him? I need to ask him if he's going to pick up my dad. Before I knew it I was standing up and already walking over to Minseok without really thinking about it.
When I looked down at him, he looked up at me, surprised to see I had approached him. He had a slight look of fear in his eyes. Dos he really think I'm going to pick on him? "Are you going to pick up my dad today?" I ask and Minseok nodded his head meaning yes.
I could see he had a bit of confusion written on his face. Why's he making that expression?
"Luhan and Minseok kissing in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g~" I could hear Baekhyun say from behind which I rolled my eyes to.
Baekhyun came up to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder, asking "what're you two talking about? Are you two on good terms?"
"We were talking about the project" I answer, letting Baekhyun have his arm around my shoulder.
"Is that so?"
"I said this earlier Baekhyun, I don't like blubber like him." I answer, looking from Baekhyun down to Minseok who had a sad expression on his face. DAMN IT I did it again! I kept a calm expression on my face but I was cursing to myself on the inside. Why am I so stupid?!
"Oh for sure, hey pudgy, this is your last offer for you to accept to come to the party on Saturday?" Baekhyun asks.
"I said I'm not going to your stupid party, don't ask me." Minseok answers, he sounded angry but also sad at the same time.
"Let's go Luhan" Baekhyun says, turning me around with him, still having his arm around my shoulder.
I looked back at Minseok one more time before leaving the classroom but Minseok was looking down into his lap with the saddest expression on his face. Damn it...
"Luhan are you coming to the party tomorrow?" A small girl with short brown hair and bangs asks me, following Baekhyun and I as we walked down the hall.
"For sure, I'll be there" I answer and the girl had the bigger smile on her face.
"If you're going I'll definitely be there!" The girl replies before going off with her own friends.
Baekhyun unwrapped his arm from around my shoulder and brought it back down to his side. "See man this is why we need you, all the girls love you!" Baekhyun points out which I nodded to. I hate it when he says things like that.
"Well I can't help being born with my good looks." I say in a cocky tone with a smile to end it off. Damn I hate myself.
Baekhyun chuckled and nodded "true that. I'll see you tomorrow man, I'm meeting up with Taeyeon right now. I'm going to try and get to third base with her."
"Good luck man, I heard she doesn't even want someone as a boyfriend."
"Well she's the smartest and hottest girl in our class 'wanting no distractions' but I got a way of kissing those perfect lips of hers." Baekhyun says before waving bye and running down the other hall.
I went into the school parking lot and got into my car, starting to drive downtown to my part time job.
When I pulled up into the parking lot of my part time job I quickly grabbed my uniform from the back seat and ran inside. "What's up Luhan!" Heechul, my manager asks as I entered the cafe.
"Nothing much, there aren't a lot of people today" I point out, looking around the cafe as I walked inside.
"Yeah we've been pretty dead since this morning." Heechul explains, rubbing the back of his neck.
"I'm going to go and get changed and I'll be right out" I say and Heechul nodded. I walked into the back room where my other co worker, Sehun already had his shirt off and was getting changed.
"Hey Luhan" he says once he saw me and I brought my hand up to say hi to him. "You just got out of school?" He questions and I nodded, avoiding eye contact with him.
"You're not going to talk to me, are you?" He asks and I continued to be quiet, pulling off my uniform top.
Sehun sighed deeply and walked up behind me. I could feel him breathing down onto my neck but I tried to ignore him the best I could. I took my working shirt and pulled it over my head, putting it on my body. Sehun then brought both of his hands around me and hugged me. "You know I'm sorry about yesterday."
"Sure you are. I made my decision and I said we're over." I say in a stern tone, trying to make it clear to him for the thousandth time.
"Luhan you know I make mistakes like that all the time." Sehun says, that's always his excuse and I'm tired of hearing it.
"Sehun you're exactly like my dad and yesterday was just too much. I told you if you ever hit me again, I would leave you and that's what I'm doing."
"You can't blame me, I was drunk-"
"I told you to stop drinking!" I say, turning around and looking at him seriously. A hint of madness could be heard in my voice.
Someone then knocked on the door and both Sehun and I turned our heads in that direction. "Knock knock" Yifan says as his head was only to be seen poking into the room.
"Hey Yifan" Sehun and I say at the same time. I then turned my body so I could take an apron from where they were hanging and tied it around my waist.
"You two love birds fighting again?" He asks in a smirk, now entering the room with his arms crossed.
"Don't call us love birds, we're not dating." I point out and I could feel Sehun's piercing glare from behind me. "We broke up yesterday" I mention, making it clear for Yifan to understand.
"What, this is the sixth time you two have broken up?" Yifan questions, chuckling a bit just thinking about it.
"The sixth and the last" I add in, glaring at Yifan for laughing at it.
"It won't be the last" Sehun says but I ignored him, leaving the room and going to the front where Heechul was still standing.
"You okay, you don't look too well." Heechul asks, looking at me concerned.
"Is it that obvious something is wrong?" I ask, sitting down on one of the high chairs near the counter, leaning one elbow onto the counter and supporting my chin in my hand.
"Well a deer like you with a frown on your face is rare. Did you and Sehun break up again?" Heechul questions and I nodded.
"Yeah."
"What was the reason this time?" Heechul asks, walking behind the counter but was still looking at me.
"He got drunk again because I did it with some girl from my school. She's in an older grade but I did it with her because everyone said it was impossible to get into her pants and I wanted to prove them wrong. She's cute anyway so it's not like it mattered but Sehun is being sensitive."
"Well you two do have an open relationship so I don't see why he'd act that way."
"I know, that's what I'm saying. He does it with other guys as well but you don't see me drinking my problems away whenever he does it." I mumble in an annoyed tone, withstanding from grinding my teeth together.
"Oh young love."
"Yeah...young love" I mumble, looking down at the counter, getting lost in my own thought.
At the same time I heard the small bell at the top of the door ring meaning someone entered the cafe and I quickly stood up, going behind the counter with Heechul.
I wasn't able to leave the cafe for a while because it got more busy when the time went by. I checked my watch and it was already seven fifty, it was almost eight. I have to get home, I told Minseok I'd drive him.
"I'll see you guys later" I say while taking off my apron, running into the back room to get changed.
"Luhan, wait!" I heard Sehun say but I continued to ignore him, putting my school uniform back on.
When I was about to leave through the back door of the cafe, Sehun stopped me once again and pulled me in for a hug. "S-Sehun let me go" I say, trying to push away from him.
"I'm sorry Luhan, I love you."
"I said I've had enough Sehun, I don't want to be with you anymore!" I say, successfully pushing Sehun away and looking up at him with anger and sadness expressed on my face.
I didn't want to stay long enough to hear what he had to say to me so I quickly turned around and ran out of the cafe and to my car. Damn it, it's so cold out.
I quickly drove all the way home to see the light in the living room on in my house. I smirked to myself seeing that and got out of the car, quickly going inside to see Minseok sitting down on the same chair he sat down on yesterday, trying to catch his breath.
"You just got here?" I ask and Minseok nodded meaning yes.
"Why don't you have any water at your place?" Minseok questions, his voice still sounded dry but he got up from the seat he was sitting one like nothing was wrong.
I looked down at his body and then back up at his face, observing him. "I don't eat at home so we don't have anything to eat or drink here." I explain, then turning my head to look at my dad who was laying on the couch, snoring really loudly.
"You want me to drive you home now?" I question and Minseok nodded meaning okay.
We both walked out of my house and got into my car. I put the keys and started it up. Damn it, I'm low on gas. I glanced at Minseok and as he sat down in the passengers seat, he put on his seat belt and I backed out of the driveway.
An awkward silence was left between us and I coughed a bit. "Thanks for letting me stay at your house yesterday." I say and Minseok didn't reply, he was looking outside the car window like he was in his own thought.
"No...problem" he says, twiddling with his fingers.
"Sorry if I was an inconvenience or anything..."
"It's fine, just don't do it again." He answers and my lips went tight.
I thought he would have forgiven me if I didn't pick on him today, is he still mad at me?
The car drive to his house was really quiet this time. It seemed a lot longer then usual as well. Minseok wouldn't really try starting a conversation with me either. I pulled into his apartments parking lot and he took off his seat belt.
Before he could open the door I put one hand over his and he looked back at me. I could see from the street lights shining through my car window that his cheeks were a darker shade of pink. "Are you mad at me?" I ask, wanting to have an answer.
"I'm not mad at you...good night." He quickly says, pulling his hand back and quickly getting out of my car, shutting the door behind him.
I watched him as he walked into his apartment and bit down on my bottom lip. I don't know why, but should I apologise even though I have no clue what I did wrong?
I backed out of the parking lot and started to drive again but stopped at the gas station to fill up my almost empty tank on my way home.
When I got home I unlocked the front door and closed the door quietly behind me when I heard a smashing sound coming from the living room. "Luhan!" My dad shouted from the living room. Damn it, he's awake.
I walked into the room where he was standing up, furious for a reason I don't know why. He punched me across the face right when I got in front of him and I fell to the ground, hitting my head on the side of the coffee table on my way down.
I swear I saw stars for a second. I could feel blood streaming down my face and my head was thumping in pain. If I didn't go through this every single day, the pain would probably be unbearable.
My dad grabbed me by the collar and forced me to stand onto my two feet. "Where the fuk are my cigarettes boy?!" He asks, shouting at me in my face.
I winced and turned my head away from his face. His breath smelt like a mixture of strong alcohol and faint cigarettes.
"Maybe you left them at the club?" I suggest and threw me back to the ground again, this time my back hit the end of the couch.
"Go and buy me more cigs" my father demands, shooing me out of the house and I nodded, standing up and going back to the front to put my shoes back on.
I did my jacket up and went into my car where I drove to the other end of downtown and parked into a huge parking lot for a shopping mall.
I then pulled myself to the back seat of the car and tried laying down to get some sleep. I guess I'm sleeping in my car again tonight.
