I Told You Not To Fall For Me ♡ HunHan

Sixteen

Luhan politely greeted a woman in her mid-thirties as his eyes wandered scrutinized the interior design of the clinic -- he couldn't help but be mesmorized by how the white furniture complimented the pastel blue walls so well.

"How can I help you, dear?"

"I'm here to see Doctor Wu Yifan, does he happen to be here right now?"

Wu Yifan, or Kris, was not an unfamiliar name in Luhan's life. A good friend of Sehun's back in the day, he was the only reason why Luhan was standing inside the well-decorated clinic seeking information.

Kris, the tall guy who girls used to swoon over, had been well known as a student for hisgood looks and basketball skills. Luhan knew him as well... knew him a little too well, in fact. How could he not know him well when they'd shared something back in high school? It was a secret that nobody knew. Sehun? Maybe he had no idea either. It was almost impossible for Kris to tell him.

"I apologise, sir. It seems like Doctor Wu won't be here for the next two months."

"May I ask why?"

"He in Japan for a business trip, sir."

"Oh... If that's the case, could you possibly pass along a message for me?"

"Yes, sure."

"Once he gets back, can you tell him to call me as soon as possible? Tell him it's an urgent matter." Luhan stated as he handed her his card.

"Thank you for helping..." He smiled at her before exiting the clinic.

The sun was sweltering hot although it was barely ten o'clock in the morning. He figured there was nothing to do since he was on a long holiday, being both unemployed and a recent university graduate. Christmas shopping sounds good! He thought as a broad grin spread on his face. Yes! Nothing was better than retail therapy.

"Luhan! We're finally free from assignments and lectures, hooray!" Kai screamed at the top of his lungs as he latched onto the deer-eyed boy, startling him with a warm embrace.

"There, there, boy." Luhan laughed, patting the sunkissed boy's hair softly. "It's been a good 2 minutes now, will you get off me, pretty please. You're as heavy as a pregnant pig. I think I might break a bone or two."

Kai broke the hug, not because of Luhan's request but because of a furious looking Oh Sehun standing a few metres away from them with his arms crossed. Luhan was still oblivious to his presence as he chuckled lovingly at Kai, unable to tell how tense the atmosphere had become.

"Lu, I thought you said he wasn't able to come."

"Well, yeah. He's busy and my parents are abroad anyways." Luhan stated matter of factly, shrugging like he wasn't affected by no one attending his graduation ceremony -- which was, of course, a big fat lie.

The conversation he'd shared with Sehun the night before tugged at his heart. He was really looking forward to Sehun being there as he watched Luhan go on stage and receive his diploma but to no avail -- the doctor said his schedule was fully packed so he wouldn't be able to come.

How sad... and then Luhan's parents, out of nowhere, informed him two days before the ceremony that they couldn't come and they were sending apologies. Their company was fighting for a new branch to be opened in Dubai so they had a lot of meetings to attend. Luhan dismissed them quickly, saying it was fine because the company was far more important than his graduation day. They could always select a new date to celebrate, right?

Do you really think so, Luhan?

He refused to answer the question that lingered in his head. No one cared anyway.
