MORE THAN YOU KNOW (a HunHan novella)

CHAPTER 3 - SWEET & COOL (Sehun)

I can't seem to take the smile off my face as I walk into the great room.

"Someone's in a good mood."

I look up to see Kris, padding downstairs, dressed in formal attire under a black coat.

"You're going out again?" I ask, throwing my backpack on the couches.

"Mm."

"You're not doing anything illegal, are you?" I ask, narrowing my eyes at him.

He laughs and rolls his eyes at me. "Of course not. Mom and Dad would've killed me if I am."

"Uh-huh."

"Don't come home late," Xiumin says, appearing from the dining room.

Kris nods at him. He pats my head as he passes me on his way out.

"Do you know where he's going?" I ask Xiumin.

"A gathering with his seniors," he answers. "Hungry? I ordered pizza."

"Ooh."

I follow Xiumin to the dining room.

"You look different," Xiumin commented as I sit down and start munching on a slice of pizza.

"Mm?" I raise an eyebrow at him.

He looks closely at me. "Dating someone?"

I choke on my food. Xiumin chuckles at me.

"How can you tell?" I ask, as I take the soda he's holding out.

He just shrugs at me. "So who is it?"

"Luhan," I reply.

"Luhan?" He frowns as he tries to recall. "Ah! I see. Well, he's good looking."

"I know," I say, grinning like a fool.

He rolls his eyes at me.

****

"So you're officially dating Luhan now?" Baekhyun asks, resting an arm on my shoulders.

"I guess so," I say, taking a sip of my chocolate bubble tea.

"What kind of answer is that?" Suho asks the same time Tao mumbles, "Yes or no?"

The four of us sit on the benches near the basketball court, under the pine trees.

"Yes, yes," I say, rolling my eyes. "I'm dating Luhan."

"Aigoo." Baekhyun pinches my cheeks. "You said you're not going to date him."

"I said that?" I raise an eyebrow at him.

Baekhyun gives me a look. I grin at him.

"Yah, Sehun-ah." Suho snaps his fingers, demanding for my attention. "Luhan is someone you should take seriously. Don't go fooling around."

"Hyung, you know I'm not like that," I say.

He nods.

"I have something to tell you," Baekhyun starts, leaning in closer. "Chanyeol, that tall, cute guy from my class - well you know him - is Luhan's dongsaeng."

Luhan has a brother? Hmm. Good to know.

"Jinjja? What a coincidence-" Tao starts, but Baekhyun cuts him off.

"Yah!" Baekhyun glares at him. Tao bites his lips, stifling his laughter.

"What is it?" I ask, frowning.

"What are you guys talking about?" Suho glances at Tao.

Baekhyun lets out a breath. "Okay, okay. Chanyeol and I have been dating since last two weeks."
