Luhan slowly regains his consciousness, blinking his eyes to adjust with bright white walls. He looks at his right to find Junmyun, holding his hand and Tao standing a bit far, slightly shivering as he faces the opposite side. He looks around, taking in the appearance of the room, finally landing it on his flat abdomen. Luhan immediately twists his head towards Junmyun with his questioning eyes as the elder looks at him with his eyes filled with concern.

"Hyu..Hyung..where is Sejun.?"

"You are too weak Luhan, you should take some rest."

"No, I am fine, just tell me where is Sejun."

"Luhan, listen to me. Take some rest, we can talk about him later."

"Please hyung, just tell me where he is.?? Please."

"Luhan, Sejun.."

"Sejun is gone hyung." It was Tao, his eyes red with tears running down his cheeks, breathing heavy. He moves forward as he pulls Luhan for a hug, careful enough for the later's condition.

"He is gone hyung. He is gone. Sejun is not with us anymore." He mumbles into the hug as Luhan pulls away, faintly hitting his cheek with a smile.

"Stop joking Tao-ya, why do you want to make your hyung cry.??Now tell me, where is your nephew ? He is in the newborn department right.? He is still a bit premature. Did you see him.? How is he.?? Is he handsome like your Sehun hyung.?" Luhan speaks out with a tiny glint in his eyes and Tao feels sick in his stomach. He pulls the elder into another hug, this time weeping harder. Luhan shifts his gaze to Junmyun when the later squeezes his hand.

"Luhan, listen. Sejun, he had a heart disease. He.. he was preterm and..he was too weak Luhan. Sejun...he..he couldn't make it."

"Hyung, you too.? Why are you doing this to me.? Don't..don't be like this. Te.."

"Hyung.!! Sejun is no more. He is gone and that is the truth." Tao shouts as he pulls away, holding Luhan by his shoulders. He can hear Luhan's heart shuttering into million pieces in the deep silence wrapped around them. The time freezes, until Luhan's glassy eyes melts away, letting the tears finally fall loose. The information isn't sinking into his mind. They might be kind enough for not telling it on his face but he isn't an idiot. His baby boy is gone, his Sejun is gone. His baby boy died. When his brain finally processes the whole information, he loses it. He felt like truck of emotions his him, hard, killing him on the spot. His small cries eventually turn into hard sobs. Luhan goes crazy, crying harder as Junmyun pulls him close, wrapping his arms tight around the fragile boy, crying along. They stay like that until Luhan loses his energy and faint's in his arms.

Sehun stands outside the room, looking at his love breaking down through the slightly opened door, crying along at the loss of their everything.

The next few days go by in daze. Luhan was told to stay in the hospital for the next week while Tao and Junmyun toke turns to stay be his side. Luhan became emotionless, his tears frozen after he woke up learning the cruel truth. He refused to speak to anyone, not even to Junmyun. The elder was so worried but Dr. Jung told him that he must be in trauma after losing his baby. He wasn't eating either which made him faint at a point, making Junmyun a crying mess. Seeing Junmyun like that, Luhan finally accepted to eat and Jun couldn't be happier. All the members paid him a visit, even Baekhyun. He knows now, he knows now who Luhan truly is. He felt a bit guilty for treating that boy badly back then and Luhan being the kindhearted he is gives him a tiny smile, forgiving him right away. Sehun, he would come, every single day, standing right beside that door, never courageous enough to step in.
