Our Destiny

Chapter 17

Sehun woke up early the next day, barley having any sleep. He freshens up himself, getting dressed in a total black outfit paired with a black snap back and a mask. He peeks out of the bedroom to see Luhan packing a small hand bag with a water bottle and a tiny lunch box. He slowly walks up to the main door and puts on his worn out snickers as he gets out of the apartment, locking it. Sehun didn't waste any more time before dashing out of the apartment, making sure that Luhan already stepped in the elevator, as he runs down the stairs to catch up with the pregnant boy. Yep, you guessed it, he is going to stalk Luhan. Once he was down the complex, he was gasping for air, well their dorm is way up in the sky. He finds Luhan walking into the neighborhood, and sehun follows, maintaining about ten feet distance from the later. When Luhan stops abruptly, Sehun wonders why, not until the later tries to bend down and massage his limbs. Sehun might have never met a pregnant person but he knows the basic stuff, how their limbs swell up because of the excess weight, making it a bit painful for them to walk. It...must be hard. He sees Luhan take in deep breath, closing his eyes to reduce the pain, before entering a flower shop with an assistant required board stuck onto it. He can see Luhan speaking to a middle aged woman, who welcomed his with a smile but soon replaced it with a scowl. She starts ignoring the pregnant boy, who whenever there were no costumers, tries his best to speak out with that woman. It lasted for almost a hour, until the woman drags Luhan out of her shop.

"I told you I can't give you this job. You have to walk all around. And if something happens to that baby of yours, I just can't take responsibility. So leave, don't disturb my business."

"Ajummoni, please. I told you I worked in a café before, so I am used to being fast. I can do the same"

"But you do know that you lost your job in the café because you can't walk fast anymore right.??"

Luhan didn't have a comeback for that. She was right. Luhan can't walk fast anymore. hell, it's even hard for him to just walk slowly.

"Listen, I can't give you this job. I don't know if you can even get a job elsewhere. You should now by know that pregnant males are very rare and people generally don't like them. Look, I am sorry but don't come again asking for a job."

With that, that woman gets back into her shop, leaving behind Luhan on the street. Luhan sighs, feeling dejected but he is no situation to give up. He had to find job, maybe not for himself but for his baby.

Sehun follows Luhan to a book store, a family restaurant, and a music store finding for a job but every time he got the same answer, just like that ajummoni, if anything, even harsher.

Luhan ends up sitting on a bench in a nearby park, after all that hunting. It was already past lunch time so he decided to have his food before resuming his search. Sehun was hiding behind a wending machine, munching onto a hamburger and gulping down his coke for his lunch. Gosh, he was so existed with all those walking, and then again how did that pregnant boy managed it.?? He peeks at Luhan and finds him eating a small lunch box, too small for a pregnant guy, having nothing but some rice and vegetables. Half way through his food, Luhan pulls out his water bottle, only to find it empty.

"Shit", Sehun curses when Luhan's eyes land onto the wending machine. He was sure that he was caught this time. He wanted to run away but his legs weren't moving, rooting him to that spot. He stands there few minutes, waiting for the worst but nothing came. He slowly sneaks a quick look at Luhan only to find him filling his water bottle from a nearby water filter. Phwwww, guess he has to be more careful from now on.

Once done, Luhan gets into a mall, with an idea of finding some kind of job among number of stores in there. Luhan walks around the mall, trying to find any vacancy in any of them. The place wasn't crowdie, since it wasn't a week end but Sehun made sure no one recognizes him. Well most of their eyes were on Luhan, throwing him all kinds of odd and dirty looks. He could feel them, he could feel all the stares and people whispering about him, making him looks down and walks as fast as he could, he just wish he was invisible.
