Sick {HunHan}

Chapter 4 - Me, too

"Cha Luhan has been diagnosed with love."

Everyone, including the two servants, looked straight at Lay for a moment.
Then they started looking around at each other, question marks written on their faces.
"Uh... Excuse me?" a slightly confused Luhan asked.

Lay sighed, and Luhan could swear he'd seen a hint of pity in the healer's face before he started explaining;

"Love. You cannot have heard of this before as it is kept deep in the darkest corner of our library. It is, in fact, a forbidden word. That's because the word itself can provoke the disease to appear. Your symptoms fit perfectly though, I'm afraid. What is it, you ask? It is a condition that eats you up from the inside, starting with your stomach and making its way up to your heart, it is indeed a very deadly disease. Many great people, even nations have fallen to this, " he explained.

Luhan suddenly grabbed his stomach and made a face as if he was going to throw up. The thought of something feeding on him from the inside made him sick - more than he already was.

"Wait a minute there, boy. Hold up, and let me finish." Lay started talking again. Luhan looked up at him and Sehun had a hint of hope in his dark eyes.

Lay explained to the gathering that it wasn't a physical thing eating him up. It was simply a feeling, but it didn't make it any less fatal.
Lay told them that it had to be caused by a person that the patient was close to, and that the only way to cure it was to make said patient forget every single thing about that one person.

"Do you have someone in mind, Cha Luhan? You have to be honest or we will for sure not be able to cure this. As I already told you all, this can be fatal, and we can't have you dying on us, now can we?" the Healer asked. Luhan was shocked, to say the least, over his bluntness.
Was there anyone that he wanted to cherish and spend all of his time with?
That was always near him when he felt the overwhelming dizziness?
That made him want to be in physical contact with them all the time?
That had caused this tragedy to fall upon him?

Yes, Luhan thought. Yes, there is. But the Healer said I have to forget him, then? Nope, that's not going to happen. Ever. Nuh uh.

The second Luhan leaned further back, his head getting impossibly close to Sehun's defined stomach, he just knew. It was him, he was the cause of his precious master's not feeling well. If only that day, he'd been given another position. Anything else.
Please don't forget me, my dear master...

A crushing silence ruled in the room until Luhan finally decided to speak up, answering Lay's question without wavering neither his body, nor his eyes.

One week later
--------------------

"But Luhan, I still just don't get why you had to say that. It won't help anyone... "
Sehun and Luhan were making their way home from a meeting, it was late in the evening and the sun could be seen as a blood red beauty mark on the otherwise midnight-blue sky.

"Because I had to Sehun, and you know that. I'm sorry for the hundredth time, but it was the only thing I could say at that time, " the blue-eyed boy said, staring deep into Sehun's soul, piercing through his defenses, reaching  his doubts and killing them with one stab.

"I might be in love too, Luhan." he said. It came out of the blue, the blue in his master's eyes that had freed him from his doubt, and Sehun didn't even try to stop it. He looked down, scared of what his dearest master might think of him after his statement.
What if he hated him?
He didn't even know who it was that had caused Luhan's illness...
Sehun looked up and was startled by the sight; Luhan's face showed a mix of surprise, denial and... Sympathy?
