"STAY STILL!!" Sehun hollered at a bouncing up and down Luhan.

"I can't brush your teeth if you're bouncing like that," Sehun snapped.

The drunk boy stopped - eyes wide, innocently staring into Sehun's. For a second, Sehun forgot how to breathe. Those eyes....GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF SEHUN!

Sehun shook his head and continued brushing Luhan's teeth. (The older boy demanded that Sehun brushed his teeth or else he won't go to sleep). Normally, Sehun wouldn't care if Luhan went to sleep or not, but after remembering that he shares a bed with the boy, Sehun figured that if he wanted some sleep, he'd need the older boy to be asleep as well. He begrudgingly obliged.

After struggling for ten exhaustive minutes trying to get Luhan into his pajamas, Sehun finally got the boy to bed. He turned off the lights and lay down. Today was a long day and he was spent.

Sehun was just about to close his eyes when something poked him in the cheek.

"Ughhh....what do you want?" Sehun moaned.

"I can't sleep," Luhan whimpered. Says the guy that wanted to rest on the kitchen counter a while ago.

"I think I'm sick Sehunnie..." He hiccupped.

"Idiot, you're just drunk." Sehun turned his head to face his still-wasted roommate.

Luhan shook his head like a child.

"Recently, my body has been acting strange..like my heart would start racing whenever I was near..." --he blinked multiple times at Sehun-- "it would beat so fast that I was afraid it'll pop out of my chest! Breathing would be almost impossible. My whole face would feel warm suddenly like someone had pushed my face near an open fire. And my body would feel this burning sensation, but not the bad kind of burn, Sehunniee, the good, tingly kind. My palms would start sweating, and my knees would feel weak...this has been happening a lot lately."

He looked at Sehun, eyebrows arched in confusion.

"Why am I like that, Sehunnie?" He placed an arm on Sehun's torso and inched closer, hoping for a small hug.

"How the hell should I know? Just go see a doctor," Sehun replied as he pushed Luhan's arm away.

"What if the doctor can't cure me?" Luhan asked with sadness written all over his face.

"Well then you're screwed. Now SHUT IT and go to SLEEP. Sheesh." Sehun turned away from Luhan.

Before succumbing to sleep, Sehun heard Luhan mumble something from behind him. "I am most definitely screwed."

That night Sehun dreamt that he was chasing a particular deer through the forest. The deer was acting weird because it ran away in a zig-zag pattern, bouncing every so often, even hitting its head against a tree. How odd...

He soon caught up with the deer and when Sehun got close enough, he noticed that the deer had hazy-looking eyes. He laughed. It was, without a doubt, a drunk Bambi.

The next morning, Sehun woke up first. He looked over to his left – a mop of tangled honey colored hair was poking out of the covers. He's going to really need that hangover soup.

"Care to explain what happened to Luhan last night?" Kris calmly inquired. The hyungs were all there at the breakfast table, staring at Sehun (judging him).

"I was trying to have a drink but the baby-faced dimwit came running in and stole my soju," Sehun explained as he helped himself to some eggs and sausage.
