Never letting go (Hunhan)

Chapter 37

At around midnight, when Luhan's phone started ringing again, his hand immediately reached over to receive it, worried that Sehun might be onto something again. But when he looked at his receiver, his worry turned into confusion because instead of Chanyeol or any other of his friends, it was Sehun who was calling him.

Not really having any interaction with each other than just acknowledging and having had made just small talks in the last two days was now making Luhan hesitant on answering the call.

He looked at the time. 12: 48 a.m.

Hovering his finger above the receive button, Luhan contemplated on whether he should answer it or not and wondered about any reason on why the younger would be calling him at this hour of the night.

He couldn't think of any reason and just answered it. Considering the 'we-are-friends-just-because-we-share-classes' state they were in for the last two days, he concluded that the younger wouldn't be calling just to pesture him. It could be important.

"Hello."

"............"

"Sehun-ah?"

When there was still no answer from the other end, even after some moments of waiting, Luhan checked his phone screen once to see if the call was ended but to his bewilderment it was still going on and his eyebrows furrowed.

Why isn't he saying anything?

"Are you okay?" Luhan asked.

"No."

The answer surprised the older as it was quite unexpected but it wasn't the answer that made him feel concerned, it was the voice of the younger. It sounded dry and scratchy,"Did something happen?"

"I miss you." Sehun replied with a sniff.

"Hey, are you crying?What happened?" Luhan asked feeling worried all over at the thought of a depressed Sehun.

"I can't continue this anymore, Lu. I miss you so much." The younger repiled with hitching breaths and sniffs in between,"I feel like my heart is about to burst."

"Give it sometime and I promise, you will be fine." The older said softly.

On the other side of the phone, Sehun felt a prick in his already wounded heart because in a way, it felt like Luhan didn't meant the words only for his about-to-burst heart. To him, it sounded more like,"Move on and I promise, you will be happy."

Like that can ever happen.

When the line went silent again, Luhan started feeling really concern on whether the younger was just calling him because he only missed him or for something else.

"Lu, do you think it's possible for someone to die of heartache?" The younger asked genuinely, in a resigned voice.

"Sehun-ah, where are you!?"

The question made Luhan rush towards his closet to get a jacket and ran down the stairs, as panick started flowing through his veins. The younger wasnt an emotional person who talked about feelings or deeply quoted words, so when he does do that, it only means that the younger was drinking and when he drinks, Luhan doesn't want him to think of anything stupid and more specifically about anything that relates anyhow, with Death.

Since, no matter how mature the younger seems, only Luhan knows how much of a child he is inside. A child that listens only to his heart.

"If I ever go missing, will you miss me too?"

What the hell is this boy thinking?!!

"Just tell me where you are!!!" Luhan barked in agitation as he unlocked the main door and turned the knob open,"I swear to God Sehun-ah, if you are thinking of doing anything stupid I will-"
