Lee ~~~~~'s POV (The Original)

The loud music thumped and the lights flashed. We were out clubbing, again. It wasn't that I didn't like clubbing, but it was really tiring. I took out my phone and fiddled with my phone. 

I wanted to text Kai, or Jongin-sunbae, to see how he was doing. When we last saw each other, he had told me he had to go on some family vacation for a few weeks. He told me to be careful.

I sighed and put away my phone. It was getting really stuffy in here. I fanned myself with my clutch, but it was no use. I turned over and looked at Luhan. I tugged at his sleeve. He looked at me, with a raised eyebrow, "What's up?"

I leaned in to his ear and said, "I'm going out for some air."

He nodded, "I'll come with you."

I shook my head and smiled, "Don't, stay here. I'll be right back."

Luhan smiled and leaned in and kissed me on the lips, "Araso."

The cold air hit me instantly, relieving me of the stuffy, hot feeling from inside the club. I breathed in the crisp air, but it was contaminated with the smell of smoke. 

I turned to the side to see a group smoking and laughing. I looked about before walking away to a more peaceful place. I rubbed my bare arms.  I was only wearing shorts and strapless shirt. Coming out here was cold, but better than being inside that oven.

Suddenly, a hand came out of nowhere and covered my mouth. That person wrapped their arm around my waist, and easily lifted me up, dragging me into an alley. I knew yelling for help was stupid as my mouth was already covered and it would just waste my breath. 

I pulled at the person's huge hands that covered my mouth and kicked my legs about, hitting that person's shins. That person chuckled. 

I froze as I remembered that chuckle. Kris.

He was Luhan's high school best friend. I had met him around the same I had met Luhan. They had been really close, until hell broke lose when Luhan found out Kris tried to make a move on me.

Long story.

"You're still as pretty as ever, if not, prettier." He murmured into my ear. His deep voice sent shivers down my spine. I could smell alcohol from his sticky breath. 

I manage to pull his hand away from my mouth, "Kris, what on earth are you doing here?! Let go of me!"

"Oh you remember me?" He chuckled. "I'm touched."

I felt his lips kiss my shoulder and slowly move up to my neck. I tried to scrambled out of his grasp, but he was too strong.

Just too strong.

Tears slipped down my eyes as I swung my legs about, pushed and pulled away from Kris and tried to slap him away.

I'm sorry, Luhan. I'm sorry, Kai.

As soon as the door of the doctor's room shut closed, my legs collapsed under me. 

I leaned against the wall, tears streaming down my face. I touched my face. I looked at my hands. I touched my hair. I looked at my arms, my legs. I looked at my reflection in the round mirror on the corner of the hospital hallway.

I... was contaminated. Dirty. 

HIV. AIDS. 

I couldn't... my life was ruined.

I felt my phone buzz. I took it out to see a message from Luhan.

From: Luhan oppa <3
Where are you? You're late! *pout* I'm freezing!!~~ Pali pali~ Come quickly to the cafe! I'll be waiting! xoxo

A sob came out from my mouth. Tears streamed down... Ottokae, ottokae...

*****

"Don't come any closer... Luhan... just... just forget about me. About us. I'm not worth it." I turned around and sped away, as tears continuously slid down my cheeks. 

I heard him call after him, but I ignored him. I picked up my speed and ran into the crowd to hide from him.

"I'm sorry, Luhan... dui bu qi... mianhae."
