The Aftermath || oh sehun || pt. 2

CHAPTER THREE

I asked permission to Chanyeol if I could go to the rooftop and listen to the old tape recorder privately and he said yes. So, I did. I went to the rooftop, sat on the corner and noticed that, at the back of the recorder, there was a tiny yellow note saying: 'I badly want you to listen to this, Aira. Please.' It's Luhan's handwriting. I stared at the recorder for a second before pressing play.

"Hey.." Luhan's angelic voice echoed. He almost made me forgot that he cheated on me. "I'm so sorry, Aira. I know, this is stupid, but I don't think I can face you in person and stare you right in the eyes.. after what I did to you." He breathed in. "But I want you to know the truth. You deserve to know it.." He paused. "Here goes. Yoo-ah and I had a sexual relationship, way before I met you. But we don't have any commitment because we don't want to lose our friendship. We were happy, just by plain sex." I feel water starting to fill up my eyes, after hearing Luhan's words. "But then I met you, I admit, I fell in love with you, Aira. Each moment I was with you, I keep on falling in love. I talked to Yoo-ah about courting you, and she said alright. And when we got together, I seldom meet Yoo-ah. I always get to spend my time with you, which really made her mad. That caused her to change into a bitch. She threatened me that if I don't make out or simply hang out with her, she'll tell you everything about us, and I'm scared, Aira. I'M SCARED OF LOSING YOU." He said emphasizing the last sentence. I feel my tears rolling on my cheeks as I listen more. I shouldn't be crying about this. I thought. "And that's the truth, Aira. I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry." I heard him sobbing real hard. "I'm not expecting you to forgive me or give another chance, but I want you to know the truth and I want you to know that I have loved you too much. I love you still, and I will always love you." He sobbed again. "I'm sorry again for not saying this to you in person. I don't deserve an amazing girl like you and you don't deserve an asshole like me... I have to go. I'll be back to China, so you will no longer have to endure seeing me in school or in any place everyday. I know my presence will ruin your entire day every time you'll see me, so I'll just leave for your sake. But remember this, okay? I'll still be loving you from afar. I'm sorry again." And it ended.

Tears keep on rolling as Luhan's every word sink in my mind. I'm supposed to be mad at him, but look at me now-sobbing like a fucking idiot. I don't know what to do with myself anymore.

I placed the recorder on the floor next to me as I pulled my thighs against my chest, hugging it. I keep my head down; my forehead touching my knees as I continue to sob more and more.

Minutes passed and I'm still in this position. I never moved, but cried silently. The only thing that caught my attention is when I heard the door creaked open. Someone's here. They shouldn't see me cry. I quickly stood up from where I sat and swiftly wiped away my salty tears. Breathe in, breathe out.

I saw Dr. Oh come inside the area, talking to a person over the phone. He put down his phone and asked, when he noticed me standing in the corner, "What are you doing here?" I froze for a moment, realizing tears slowly escaped my eyes. I wiped them away real fast, and run outside the rooftop. I felt my shoulder bumped his arm as I run.

When I reached my ward, Chanyeol was there and I hugged him as I entered. "You okay?" He asked, rubbing my back in a circular motion.

I shook my head as I bury my head in his chest. "I shouldn't feel this way! Luhan should be the one crying, but why am I crying in pain? THIS IS UNFAIR!" I cried.

"I know it hurts but calm down, Aira. Crying won't get you anywhere. It's not going to help you." He stated. "As hard as it sounds, it's time to move on." He pulled away and cupped my face gently. "You'll meet someone better than him. Someone who deserves a perfect girl like you."

Tears started falling again, but I nodded my head to Chanyeol. He is right. He is always right. I hugged him again and whispered a small "Thank you" in his chest.

I pulled away from him after, smiling at him. It took me minutes to realize that I forgot the recorder at the rooftop. Shit. I told Chanyeol that I left the recorder at rooftop but he told me to stay still, and he'll get it for me so I did. I waited for him. I'm a bit tired anyways- both physically and emotionally. It's bad for me to get tired, I might lose conciousness.

I walked towards my bed, but I realized that my legs feel a little wabbly and I could feel my head hurts. The next thing I know, my surroundings turned pitch black.

------------------

I slowly opened my eyes, and it's a bit blurry. I focused my eyesight in one direction and slowly, it got clearer. What happened? I saw Chanyeol, sitting on the right side of my bed, caressing my hand and Baekhyun, standing next to him, looking worried. On my left side, Dr. Oh and Nurse Kim were standing.

I tried sitting up, but Nurse Kim told me to lay down and rest.

"You lost conciousness for seven hours, Ms. Park." Nurse Kim, spoke the first. Seven hours? Seriously?

"You can't tire yourself a little or too much, Ms. Park." Dr. Oh stated. "You can't feel too much emotions too. That only makes you a lot more tired. So, you have to control your emotions from now on." He said, glancing at me then to my guardians.

I nodded my head like a child getting scolded by her parents. "For now, resting and relaxing are the only things that can help her overcome the losing of conciousness. It's not a fatal condition, so all of you don't have to worry to much." Nurse Kim added, smiling a little.

"Alright." Baekhyun answered, feeling so blue.

"We'll get going." Dr. Oh said as he glanced at me one last time. "Be careful." He lean in and whispered. I could feel his warm breath against my cheek, then they proceeded to exit my ward.

Once they disappeared right before my eyes, I glanced at Baekhyun. I could see him worried and scared he is.

He caressed my cheek and I spoke, "I'm sorry, Baek.." I apologized to end our arguement from yesternight. He shook his head and said, "Don't be.."
