Faint Whispers

Chapter 20

"HYUNG!"

Sehun stared at the beeping car and Luhan on the floor. If Chen had seen this, he would be reminded of the same accident that happened to Xiumin. Sehun could hear an ambulance siren and the next thing, he found himself sitting outside the ER, with Kris, Chen and Xiumin. Kris was angrily and worriedly leaning against the wall. Chen and Xiumin sitting together at the chairs, comforting each other and Sehun, the furthest away from everyone else. They waited for hours, they are conducting a surgery on Luhan, everyone in the ER were trying to save the innocent man's life. And everyone hoped it work. 

Finally, the red light turned green.

Everyone stood up and focused their attention towards a nurse and a doctor.

"Family of Lu Han?" The doctor asked.

"Boyfriend." Kris said before Sehun could.

"Alright, I guess you're okay to tell." The doctor said and continued, "He is in a stable condition. Weak from the loss of blood but we managed to stabilize it. He needs a lot of rest and blood transfusion. He will have to continue staying in the hospital until all the test are normal. You guys may see him in his ward 307.

"Thank you doctor." Kris said and everyone bowed.

Kris then turned to Sehun. Sehun could sense fury. Kris walked towards him and gave him a hard punch at his right jaw. Sehun felt warm liquid trickling down his mouth.

"Is this how you want to punish me?" Sehun asked.

"You son of a bitch! You caused all this!" Kris shouted.

"Punch me. PUNCH ME!" Sehun yelled.

Kris didn't think twice. He gave a punch in his stomach and jaw again. He was about to continue but Chen stopped him.

"Kris!" Chen shouted.

Kris looked at him, panting. Sehun's mouth had blood and he was slouching a bit.

"Kris, stop punching him. This isn't the way to revenge." Chen said.

"What do you want me to do? Kill him?" Kris said.

"I went through this before. Xiumin got into a car accident and I was as angry and depressed as you. But I was the one hit but I endured it. Now, he's back and I'm fine. And he even had amnesia. If I can go through this okay, why couldn't you? Besides Luhan is alright." Chen shouted.

Kris put his hands down and sat down on the chairs forcefully.

"Xiumin, can you ask a nurse to bandage him up?" Chen asked his boyfriend.

Xiumin nodded and helped Sehun walk to the reception counter. Chen sat beside Kris.

"I know you're frustrated at Sehun for causing Luhan to be like this. But you can't have that hatrd all your life. Sehun didn't mean to. I know. I can feel it, I can see it. Trust me, Sehun and....that girl isn't together." Chen said, getting softer when he spoke about Mia.

"What if they are together and did this on purpose?" Kris asked.

"You don't know Sehun." Chen said.

It was just four words but that made Kris feel like he's the bad guy here. He sighed and looked at the floor. Suddenly, Xiumin came running.

"Chen! Kris!" Xiumin shouted.

"What happened?" Chen and Kris stood up.

"Sehun! He...He ran away!" Xiumin said.

"WHAT?"

That was the last day Sehun ever see Luhan. He thought his life would be over, again. He couldn't count how many times he thought of that. He also couldn't count how many times he regretted kissing Mia. He doesn't know too, how his life would be. But then, he remembered the prize offer from the competition. He thought, that'll be where he start over again.
