Faint Whispers

Chapter 10

"This reminds me of our old days." Sehun mumbled.

The both of them are now lying on the long sofa, staring up at the night sky. The stars twinkling and the moon shining brightly at them. It was a breezy night.

"How does it remind you?" Luhan asked.

"Remember the time we organized our own camping?" Sehun asked.

"Right. We did it without our parent's permission." Luhan smiled at the thought.

FLASHBACK

Sehun carried a heavy box of two sleeping bags, a mosquito repellent, two of Luhan's favourite story books and a portable flashlight towards Luhan who was relaxing on the meadow.

"Hyung!" Sehun ran to him excitedly.

"Did you find everything?" Luhan asked as he stood up.

"I did! I even bought your favourite story books!" Sehun said and settled the box down.

"This is going to be a great camp!" Luhan squealed.

"Let's laid out our sleeping bags first and admire the sky." Sehun suggested.

"Okay!"

They both laid out their sleeping bags side by side on the soft green grass and laid on it. They then watch the sky.

"What will you wish for if we see a wishing star?" Luhan asked him.

"You know very well that is just a small rock from space." Sehun said.

"But it still grant wishes."

"Then I wish we can be together forever." Sehun smiled at Luhan.

"Really? Me too." Luhan smiled back.

They enjoyed the nice view before they began reading for 15 minutes. After that, they went to sleep.

"Thank you for this, Sehun." Luhan said, still wide awake.

"No, I should thank you for being with me." Sehun replied.

"I really love it." Luhan smiled and he can feel Sehun did too.

"I'm glad you do hyung."

Luhan looked over to Sehun. Sehun is enjoying the crisp cool air. He then looked back at the sky.

"Oh look! A wishing star!" Luhan pointed out.

"You know very well that is just a small rock from space." Sehun said.

"But it still grant wishes." Luhan said slowly. It was the exact same lines from their childhood.

"Then I wish we can be together forever." Sehun smiled at Luhan.

"Really? Me too." Luhan smiled. But this time, it's a sad one.

"You should go back home. It's late." Sehun said.

"True." Luhan sat up.

Sehun also sat up but then he wavered and fell back.

"Sehun!" Luhan caught him and felt for his forehead.

It was burning and Sehun still denied it.

"Pabo." Luhan mumbled.

"I'm fine." Sehun said weakly.

"You should have told me. We wouldn't be out here in the cold then." Luhan said and carried Sehun to his bed.

"It's alright, it's just a small fever." Sehun said.

"Sehun, stop acting so tough. You know very well you're sick and you should have rest more. Luckily you weren't in school yesterday." Luhan said.

"I was in school."

"You were?"

"I was outside your class."

"I didn't see you." Luhan frowned.

"You were too engrossed until Kris came to chase me away."

"Kris saw you?"

"Yeah. And he helped me pass the keychain to you."

"Keychain? The deer keychain? I didn't get it from him."

"What?" Sehun sat up straight and fell back down again.

"I'll ask him tomorrow."

"No, I'll ask for it back."

"You're sick! You can't go to school tomorrow." Luhan said.

"But it's not a deadly disease." Sehun rolled his eyes.

"I don't want you fainting in school."

"I'm glad." Sehun suddenly smiled.

"Why?"

"You care about me. I can already feel it when you came to visit me." Sehun said.

Luhan felt a pang in his heart upon hearing that.

"And I longed for it." Sehun continued.

"Okay." Luhan stood up quickly. "I should go now. Make sure I don't see you in school tomorrow." He left quickly in embarrassment before Sehun could say a word. Sehun continued laying there, smiling to himself.
