Faint Whispers

Chapter 12

Luhan dragged himself to Sehun's mansion. Again, he was told to visit Sehun again. The boss chased him out of the restaurant as soon as he saw him. Before he left, he gave one last glance at Chen who looked at him sadly. Luhan stared at the doorbell. He isn't ready to tell Sehun about what happened yet.

"Hyung?"

Luhan peeked through the gate to see Sehun coming.

"Sehun?"

Sehun opened the door and welcomed Luhan with a hug.

"Sehun." Luhan smiled unconsciously.

"Thank you for coming." Sehun said.

"I should or else your father might deduct my pay." Luhan shrugged.

"Come in." Sehun said and held Luhan's hand.

Luhan was surprised. Sehun held his hands for the first time in 11 years. But he didn't let go, he just followed Sehun. Sehun led him to his bedroom again.

"You're alright now right?" Luhan asked and felt for Sehun's forehead.

"I'm fine. I don't have a fever anymore. I'm going back to school." Sehun said but immediately went silent.

"What's wrong?" Luhan asked.

"If I'm not sick anymore. You won't visit me anymore." Sehun said.

"But Sehun, I have to work. Besides, you can come to the restaurant."

"But you're not free to talk to me like now."

"But I will. Because your father is encouraging me to be with you."

"How about Kris?"

Luhan hoped he never brought up that topic. He sat down on the bed, Sehun followed.

"He confessed." Luhan sighed.

"He finally revealed his true colours. He knew about us, don't he?" Sehun asked.

"He do. Somehow. But he doesn't know about our childhood." Luhan said.

"Then let's hope he finds out and then realize I'm the only one for you."

"That's the problem! I don't want the both of you to fight over me."

"You never changed." Sehun said.

"How?"

"You are always thinking about others."

Luhan understood what he was talking about. He always do. Because the things they say are always linked to their childhood.

FLASHBACK

Luhan ran towards Sehun with a two balloons in his hand. Sehun was sitting on the wooden bench, watching him come. Luhan then sat beside him and gave him one.

"Where did you get these from?" Sehun pointed to the balloons.

"I bought it. Because it's your birthday!" Luhan exclaimed.

"Thank you." Sehun smiled and looked at the balloon. It has a little heart shape in the middle.

"Happy Birthday Sehunnie." Luhan said.

"I'll give you something for your birthday. It's coming, isn't it?"

"Yup!"

"Are you coming to my birthday party tonight?" Sehun asked.

"Of course! My mom will be there too."

"Great!"

"I'll see you at the party, I have to go do my homework now. Bye!" Luhan ran off and Sehun was excited to know he is coming.

That afternoon, Luhan went to Sehun's house with his mom. It was a house as big as Luhan's. Luhan already heard music blasting and children laughing inside the house. Luhan opened the door and was immediately welcomed by a hug.

"Sehun!" Luhan smiled.

Sehun released him and smiled brighter than him. He wore a huge sky blue party hat on his brown hair and a party blower in his mouth.

"Thank you for coming!" Sehun said in a muffled voice due to the party blower.

"I already told you I'm coming." Luhan said.

"Come in!" Sehun pulled Luhan along, away from his mom.

Half way throughout the party, one of Luhan's classmate accidentally spilled drinks onto Luhan's clothes. Usually, someone who got it would scream and scold the person. But not Luhan. Instead, he had a smile on his face and spoke in his most gentle voice.

"It's okay! Be careful next time okay?"

The boy nodded and ran away.

"You're being too kind." Sehun commented.

"You expect me to be shouting in the middle of your birthday party? I'm not the kind of person to do that Sehun." Luhan said.

"Still, we can't be kind to everyone. Or else they'll take advantage of us." Sehun said.

"Where did you learn that from?" Luhan asked.

"My mom." Sehun said and Luhan understood. Indeed.

"What do you want me to do? I'm bored this way." Luhan said.

"Still, we can't be kind to everyone. Or else they'll take advantage of us." Sehun said.

Luhan sighed.

"Just let nature take its course. The future will determine who will get you." Sehun said confidently.

Luhan raised an eyebrow and Sehun laughed.

"Then I look forward to who is my husband then." Luhan joked.

"It'll be me." Sehun whispered and held Luhan close to him.

"Sehun..."

Sehun couldn't resist. He stared at Luhan's juicy plump lips and licked his own.

"Seh-"

Sehun didn't let Luhan finished his sentence and his lips fell onto Luhan's. They kissed for a good 3 seconds. Shorter than Kris' but the feelings. Are all there.
