The way which the wind blows

Your POV
The Exo members would not leave me alone at school today. Every member said hi to me at least three times today. Every member including Sehun. Why are all the members obsessed over me but not him? I sigh as I wait for my mum at the usual pick up spot. I hear chatter and laughter from behind me. “(Y/N)!! Coming with us today?” I hear a voice call from behind. I turn and roll my eyes. The members of Exo. “What do you guys want?” I snap. “Oh don’t need to be so catty.” Says one of them with a sarcastic laugh. “You’re hanging out with us today.” He continues. “No I am not. I cannot go to some stranger’s house after school.” I say back. “Besides, my mum will be here any minute.” “I doubt she will to be honest. She agreed to let you come over.” Says another member with a wink. I am so confused with which person is which. They all look the same to me, except for Sehun who stands silently in the background. I feel a slight pang in my chest. Why doesn’t he bug me to come over? Does he not want me to come? “She’ll come. Just wait and see.” I say.

Ten minutes had passed and Exo and I were the only people on school grounds, besides the teachers. “I don’t think she’s coming.” A member with a low voice but a baby face chirps. I click my tongue in frustration and dial my mum’s number into my phone. “Hello?” she says over the phone. “Yeah, hey mum. Why are you so late?” I say impatiently. “What…I thought you were studying with your friends.” She says innocently. I sigh. “Are you serious mum.” I say bluntly. “I cant pick you up I’m afraid. I’m at your auntie’s place and you know how far that is from home. Sorry love you bye.” She hangs up. “Well that was rude.” I mutter. I turn to the Exo members standing behind me. “I guess I’m going with you guys.” I say. Their eyes widen, their mouths open, and a huge roar escapes from their throats. Everyone is ecstatic, even Sehun seems happy with a little smile at the corner of his mouth.

We walk to the bus stop and wait for the next bus. “Sehun’s house is too far for us to walk.” Explains one of the guys. “I don’t have a Myki.” I say. “Don’t worry. You can use mine.” Says the member with a deep voice but a baby face. “But-“ “It’s OK. There’s too many of us to keep an eye out for anyways, they won’t notice me.” He says as he hands me his Myki. The bus comes in exactly five minutes, we clump together and rush onto the bus. In around fifteen minutes, we get off the bus and take a to minute walk to Sehun’s house. A beautiful double story house with a would be beautiful front garden. The flowers are black and weak from death and the leaves on the bushes are brown like rust. Sehun takes out the house keys from his pant’s pocket and unlocks the front door. Inside the house is silent and still, like it is holding its breath. But soon the cold halls are filled with the echo of the boys’ laughter and the house turn to life. “Want to stay for dinner?” asks Sehun. I instantly blush and nod my head quickly. “OOOHH HE’S ASKING HER TO STAY FOR DINNER.” The other members hoot. “Oh shoosh you guys.” I say with a smile. We thud up the stairs to Sehun’s room, as soon as we all find a spot to sit I learn eleven names; Yixing, Minseok, Baekhyun, Chanyeol, Jongin, Jongdae, Joonmyun, Kyungsoo, Yifan, Luhan and Tao. So now I know that the boy who persuaded my mum was Baekhyun and the boy who has a deep voice but a baby face is Chanyeol.

After about an hour of mucking around aimlessly, I feel like I judged Exo too quickly. They’re actually a bunch of guys who have amazing talents and they love to muck around and have fun. I check the time on my phone; 5:45pm. “Where are your parents Sehun?” as soon as I finish the sentence, the whole room goes quiet. Everyone’s eyes are trained on me, except Sehun’s. I swallow. Did I do something wrong? “They’re not here at the moment.” Says Sehun quietly, so quietly that I barely heard him. “Um, OK.” I say. “They’ve been out for a while.” He says with a sad smile. “Oh I say.” My heart lifting. “That’s OK. At least we’ll be here until they get back.” I say with a smile. Sehun smiles sadly again. “Yeah. I guess you will.”

Luhan’s POV
By 6:00pm we all go downstairs to cook. We open Sehun’s fridge and pantry to see what we have to cook with. “Well it’s nothing fancy…”says Jongdae. “But we can eat baked chicken and fresh vegetables, and maybe we can make some soup so it’s not too dry.” “I don’t mind. Do you guys mind?” asks Chanyeol. Everyone just shrugs their shoulders. “Alrighty then. Jongdae and Kyoongsoo, you are required to help me. Everyone else can float around and help a little but here and there.” Chanyeol laughs and starts cooking. (Y/N) comes back downstairs to join us, shoving her phone into the side pocket of her school dress. “My mum isn’t answering her phone, she’s probably having fun with karaoke with her friends or something.” She says as she slumps beside me on the couch. “Why do you need to call her?” I ask. “Just to ask when she’s coming to pick me up.” I pout childishly. “Why are you so eager to go home? Aren’t you having fun with us?” I say babyishly. What the….why am I doing this? “Ah no! You guys are great. I’m just worried I might be forgotten because my mum is quite the party animal.” she flashes a smile. I can’t help but put her into a playful headlock, “You’re so cute (Y/N)!” I said while laughing. She struggles and wriggles out of my loose headlock. “What did I do? I don’t remember doing anything cute.” Her face is red and her hair is tangled so I can’t help but laugh. “You’re mean Jongin.” She stands up to leave, but I grab her wrist and pull her back onto the couch. I lean closely to her face and whisper. “My name is Luhan.” She blushes and stands back up. “I’m sorry for confusing you with Jongin.” And she walks away. I don’t turn to see where she is going because I can hear rapid thuds on the stairs, I just wish I hadn’t done something to scare her and drive her away from me…. What am I thinking?
