It's Complicated

13.

"Sehun?"

"Jongin?"

Jongin shifted uncomfortably on his feet and pursed his lips together. "Hey."

"Hey," Sehun replied.

The air surrounding the two was horribly awkward until Jongin sighed and spoke up. "It's a bit tiring acting like this. You want some lunch, Sehun-ah?" he asked.

Sehun mentally grimaced when Jongin called his name, but he nodded. "Sure, I'm free."

That was how the two were found sitting in a small restaurant together.

"So how is living with Luhan?" Jongin asked.

Sehun sipped the ice water before clearing his throat. "It's...it's fine. He's off doing his own thing, I do my own thing," Sehun answered. "We have awkward conversations."

Jongin nodded. He took a pair of chopsticks and gave them to Sehun then took his own.

"What about you?" Sehun asked.

"What about me?" Jongin thanked the waitress and turned back to face the other with a confused expression.

"Did you move on?"

Jongin let out an awkward laugh. "Oh. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I kind of forgot about you until I met you earlier. I've been out and about lately."

Sehun felt an aching in his chest, but it was a smaller ache than he thought it would be. He thought that it would hurt more when Jongin said that he moved on. "I see. Is your dance studio still open?"

"Yea, lots of kids have been coming in. That's why I'm so busy." He smiled at Sehun before beginning to eat. Sehun stared at his ex-boyfriend. The other looked so tired. There were bags under his eyes and his skin seemed paler. Sehun could even see Jongin's cheekbones. Jongin felt Sehun's gaze and his chewing slowly stopped. He looked up. "Something wrong?"

Sehun shook his head and picked up his chopsticks. "Nothing." He smiled at Jongin and started to eat.

"You did what?!" Baekhyun slammed his hands on the table, the plates clattering.

Sehun pursed his lips together and frowned. "I had lunch with Jongin, is that wrong?"

Baekhyun glared at him. "Yes," he said, his voice dangerously low. "That is very wrong." Sehun rolled his eyes and Baekhyun continued. "What if Luhan saw you and got the wrong idea?"

Sehun hadn't thought of that. "Luhan isn't that type," Sehun said.

"How do you know? He could have changed."

Sehun huffed. "Alright, I won't do it again. Goodness."

Baekhyun eyed Sehun before sighing. "I'm not telling you to not meet him again. You can do what you want, but I'm telling you that you should be on good terms with Luhan before you start getting all chummy with Jongin again."

~OoO~

Luhan was doubting Sehun sincerity. He had seen Sehun with Jongin eating together when he was out with Minseok, and they seemed happy with each other, too happy in Luhan's opinion. He didn't want it to seem like he was jealous (okay, yes he was) but he was Sehun's husband. Luhan sighed and took the apron off. He was trying to get his mind off Sehun by baking and it wasn't working. Luhan washed his hands and dried them with a towel. He heard the door opening and noises coming from the entryway.

"Luhan?"

"I'm in the kitchen!" Luhan yelled.

Sehun arrived a few moments later. "What are you doing?"
