What is Love? (hunhan) (#Wattys2016)

11.

A/N: hehe, no fighting scenes in this chapter. But do anticipate for the next chapter, because there will be fighting scene!

When Luhan shut the door, all there was was awkwardness. Luhan didn't know how to explain nor talk. Sehun, on the other hand, was waiting for Luhan to talk to him. Given the feeling that Luhan won't talk anytime sooner than he would, Sehun walked towards Luhan.

Step by step, Sehun closed in.
Step by step, Sehun stopped and waited for Luhan to talk.
Step by step, Sehun is only inches away.
There he stopped. He heard silent sobs coming from the shorter one.

"Sehun," he said, and looked up at Sehun, "I'm sorry." By the end of that, Luhan was already crying non-stop.

Sehun fought his natural instinct, which is to protect Luhan whenever he is hurt. He fought his urge to just hug him because he didn't want to just forgive Luhan that way.

But he couldn't.

He pulled Luhan into an embrace, while soothing him. For 10 minutes, Luhan was crying by Sehun's chest. And in that 10 minutes, Luhan have been apologising continually to Sehun. But he didn't say why.

When Luhan finally calmed down, Sehun asked, "why?"

There, Luhan told him everything, for the second time. There was a silent moment, Sehun didn't know how to react to this situation. What he expect to be the reason was way out. He jut thought Luhan didn't love him anymore, not the fact that the manager threatens to hurt me or him.

"Sehun," the younger called out, "do you think I'm selfish?"

Luhan's POV

"You are not selfish," Sehun said with absolute conviction. "I might have believed that once, but not now." His hand framed my cheek, brushing my skin. "No one who think of others before themselves is selfish."

Unexpectedly, that simple, sincere statement was enough to unravel me. My throat closed up, and my eyes stung with hot tears. I ducked my head, not wanting him to see me cry, to be this weak. Sehun cupped my chin and gently tilted my face up. I resisted a moment, then gazed at him defiantly, feeling the tears trickle from my eye, expecting him to leave. But he smiled and lightly touched my face, wiping the tears away.

"I never will." He whispered, and brought his lips down on mine.

I made a tiny sound in the back im of my throat and relaxed into him, clutching the back of his shirt. I couldn't think. I could barely move. I just clung on to him, reeling with a storm of emotion that buffeted me from the inside, making me want to hide and embrace it all at once. I didn't know how if this would work, if it could work. I was just aware of one thing: I could not lose him.

"I love you Sehun." I said, meaning every word of him.

"I love you too, Luhan." Sehun said.

A pounding came at the front door. We broke apart, Sehun reluctantly letting me go, his warm hand lingering on my skin. My senses buzzed, hunger and passion like twin hurricanes, fighting each other, but I walked back calmly back into the room with Sehun trailing behind me and opened the door.

"Hey Luhan," Kai drawled. His brown eyes peered past my shoulder at Sehun, and an eyebrow arched sardonically. "Am I interrupting anything?"

"Always," I murmured, watching him smirk. "What do you want, Kai?"
