Can You Keep a Secret? (Luhan Fanfic)

Chapter 11: Minding Your Own Business

The sound of a faint buzzer going off caused Luhan to reach over to the floor and turn off his phone alarm. He swung his arm over his eyes to shield his face from the incoming sunlight shooting from the window. He stretched his arm out to the right and grabbed a pillow, preceeding to nuzzle his face into its softness.

Suddenly as Luhan began to gain some consiousness from his slumber, he realized that the pillow he was holding was actually not that soft, and there was a smell of...strawberry shampoo? He slowly opened his eyes and realized Dahae was sleeping right next to him, and when she turned to face him, he rolled off the couch and fell head first on the carpeted floor.

The loud 'bang' caused Dahae to wake up and found Luhan lying on the floor in an uncomfortable position. "Luhan? What are you doing??"

"Ugh," Luhan grumbled as he ran his fingers through his hair, "Why were we sleeping on the couch...together?"

A flash of pink appeared on Dahae's face as she heard the news of her and Luhan sleeping together. She looked up at the TV which must have been on all night. "I-I think we were watching a movie last night and fell asleep...sorry."

"Um anyway," Luhan coughed, "It's already 7:45. We should go see Haru now."

Dahae got off the couch and went upstairs to quickly get dressed. The driver was with Dahae's parents this morning so she and Luhan had to walk to the hospital.

As they made their way down the concrete path, Dahae looked up at Luhan and noticed the troubled look on his face. His mouth was tense and his eyebrows were set in a frown.

"Why are you sad? We're going to see Haru." Dahae said in a calm voice.

"Yeah...it's just the fact that she had to stay the night at a hospital all by herself. She must have been scared."

"There's no reason to worry," Dahae said slipping her hand into Luhan's grip. As they held hands while walking, Luhan's nerves were calmed down. He moved his thumb across Dahae's hand but surprisingly, the two acted like it wasn't their first time holding hands. As they walked into the hospital, Luhan's grasp became even tighter out of anxiety.

"Hi, I'm here to see my sister, Haru. She was taken into the ER last night." Luhan said to the receptionist.

The lady at the desk flipped through a book and took off her glasses, "Ah yes, she's still being taken care of, you will be able to see her in a few minutes. Please take a seat in the waiting area."

"But I was told that I can come at 8 and take her home with me." Luhan said in an irritated tone towards the receptionist.

"Luhan," Dahae tried relaxing him and placed her hand on his upperarm, "They said it'll just be a few more minutes, let's go get breakfast, you haven't eaten anything yet."

Luhan sat at a table as Dahae set down two bowls of oatmeal and two glasses of orange juice.

"I said I wasn't hungry," Luhan said irritably.

"You have to eat something," Dahae placed a spoon in Luhan's hand.

"Alright it's already been 15 minutes, let's go see Haru now." Luhan looked at his watch and took Dahae's hand.

Luhan urgently paced through the halls trying to find Haru's room number. Finally he found room 112 and saw a nurse coming out.

"Are you a visitor?" She asked, putting Luhan to a halt.

"Yes, can I go in now?"

"Yes, but only relatives are allowed to see her at the moment. Are you related to her?"
