I Told You Not To Fall For Me ♡ HunHan

Fourteen

Ending up only as a friend for the one you love was harder than Luhan thought it would be. The facade of fake smiles that Luhan put on was nothing -- in order to make Sehun happy, even the impossible seemed possible.

Even the most oblivious person could notice how different Sehun was compared to before. He began to smile at Luhan and that was enough for Luhan to force a smile back. All that was important was that Sehun needed to keep on acting like that -- it motivated Luhan to find where Miyoung was and bring her back to Sehun.

His classes were starting soon so Luhan made the choice to meet his mother-in-law to talk about something important. Luhan already knew that Mrs. Oh would probably disagree with him but nothing else could stop Luhan now. He would even beg if it meant her joining his "mission".

"Luhan, were you waiting for long? The traffic was terrible."

"No, I haven't, mum. Please take a seat." He offered politely while pulling out the chair for her.

It was great that she came alone. Luhan doesn't want his father-in-law to involve himself with whatever he was planning to do. Besides, Mr. Oh was a close friend of his own father and, as bad as it sounds, Luhan couldn't trust Sehun's father to keep a secret. It was too risky.

And Mrs. Oh was the only one who actually got the hint of what was really going on in their marriage. She would understand more -- she should understand more than anybody else.

"What would you like to order? I 've heard a lot of good things about the pasta here. Would you like to try some, mum?" Luhan suggested kindly as he flipped through the menu, eyes going back and forth between the listed dishes.

"It's okay, sweetie. A cup of coffee is enough. I'm in a hurry, I'm worried about your father-in-law at home since he's all alone." She gave what seemed to be an obvious excuse. Luhan had the feeling that she was purposely doing that too quickly start their talk.

Once the orders were placed, Luhan dismissed the waiter and turned to face Mrs. Oh with his hands clasped tightly.

"You said there was an important thing that you wanted to talk about? What is it, sweetie?" As expected, Mrs. Oh quickly got to the point, obviously not trying to drag their meeting out any longer.

"I want to talk about Sehun."

"Is there something wrong with Sehun?" She asked curiously.

"I want you to help me."

"What kind of help, Luhan?" She retorted, an uneasy expression forming on her youthful face.

"If possible... I want you to help me to find Miyoung." It was as if she was rendered speechless, only responding by blinking her eyes rapidly. She stared at Luhan as if he had just grown another head.

"I really don't get you. Why are you doing this? For who? Sehun? That's absurd! You're Sehun's spouse now, why are you bringing her up again? Sweetie, believe me, she isn't a part of Sehun's life anymore" She finally gave her responded -- it didn't take an expert to know she wasn't pleased about his request.

"My love for Sehun never once faded. I've always been in love with him... I don't think I can love anyone else except for Sehun. But the point is that Sehun doesn't need to and won't return my love. He can't force himself to love me. I don't have any right to stop his feelings for Miyoung, mum. What I can do is make him happy and that means I need to bring Miyoung back because she makes him the happiest. I will try my hardest to make him happy again, mum." Luhan spoke bluntly.

"Isn't it the same for you, mum? He's your only son, the son that you raised so well. Wouldn't it be a great pleasure to see the best for him, to make him happy? I'm sorry if you got the wrong idea of why I'm doing this." Luhan bit his lower lip as he gave her a hopeful gaze.
