Friends?
Only Chance
Chapter 1- Friends?
Luhan's p.o.v
Location: Seoul ( Hospital)
Age: 15 years old
The sky darkened as a young boy ran furiously through the streets of Seoul.The boys hair shifted sides as droplets of rain dripped down his face. The wind blew sending a sensational feeling down the boy’s spine. Time seem to stop as the lad arrived at the hospital. The patients and workers shifted uneasily sensing the aura.
I ran down the hall as sweat continued dripping on my body. I wasn’t going to stop running until I got there. Even if it meant breaking the limbs in my body. I stood waiting for the elevator and several minutes went by.
“ ” I cursed running towards the stairs. I ran up and reached the twentieth floor. I asked the lady at the counter for what room and she responded.
“ 100”
“ Thank you” I said bowing and walking away. My heart pounded and breath calmed down as I walked slowly towards the room. I opened the door and my heart ached. His lifeless body laid on the hospital bed. I walked over and fell on my knees at his bedside. I grabbed his hand.
“ Hey! What are you doing? Why are you sleeping for so long? If you don’t wake up, I’ll tickle you” I teased.
“ Why aren’t you talking back? Please wake up” I begged crying. I felt his hand move and looked up. He stirred and his eyes slowly opened. He looked up and made eye contact with me.
“ Luhan Hyung ?”
I stood up and helped him. I sat down on the edge of his bed in silence.
“ Hyung, why you here?” he asked.
“ Pabo, why wouldn’t I be here for you ?” I questioned lightly hitting his head. He winced in pain.
“ Omo! I’m so sorry. Are you ok?” I asked panicking. He chuckled.
“ You worrying about me. It’s cute” he said. I shyly rubbed the back of my head.
“ It’s because you’re a friend” I said and his smile disappeared.
“ Is all I am to you Hyung, a friend?” he asked. I stared at his pleading eyes hoping I would say something else. My heart started pounding.
“ Of course. We are friends and nothing more, right?” I said and noticed his depressed mood.
“ I guess” he said. I hugged him.
“ Don’t worry. Someday you’ll find the right guy who will make you happy” I reassured.
“ Luhan , thank you for a being my friend when no else would be. I won’t ever forget what you done for me”
“ Why are you talking as if you’re leaving?” I questioned.
“ I am”
“ What?”
“ Hyung, I no live anymore”
I was confused.
“ I’ll protect you “ I said trying to persuade him.
“ Hyung, I got in this accident because of you” he admitted and my eyes widened.
“ Me?”
“ Luhan, I have liked you since we were kids... Everyday we spent together was fun. I liked you more and more everyday... I decided to tell you no matter what, but guess what ruined my plan. You got a girlfriend and it hurt. You don’t know .... how much pain I was in. I was stupid to think that I would get a chance... I even followed you on a date which got me hurt after seeing you so happy together. I gave you a chance but you don't like me so, I finally know how you feel and it hurts//. It hurt hyung” he confessed tearing up.
I felt my heart squeeze tight. I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t believe if what was happening was true. I bit my lip. I’m dreaming. Yes! I know I am. There’s no other way, I mean how else could I not know how he felt about me, right? I stood up awkwardly.
“ I’m glad you’re ok because I was worried. I have to go because Sooyoung is waiting outside. I hope you have a good life and wherever you go, I hope you stay happy. Goodbye, Sehun “ I said.
“ Wait!” he grabbed my wrist. I froze at his sudden touch. It sent shivers down my spine and I didn’t want him to let go.
" Is this cause I have autism?"
I turned around shocked.
" Hey! Don't ever say that again, understand? I would never reject you because of that! Your disorder has nothing to do with how I feel so dont ever bring it up against me again!" I exploded scaring him. I didn’t mean to but how cold he think I was that cruel? We’ve known each other for so long.
“ Then why you doing this? The Luhan I know don't run away! Do you hate me this much? How you feel, huh? Tell me Luhan, please.”
I swallowed the lump stuck in my throat and bit my lip not wanting to cry in front of him. I sighed and turned towards him with an emotionless expression.
“ What do you expect? Do you want me to be calm that I found about your feelings, huh? Oh my god! My best friend is gay and he’s in love with me! I guess I should dump my girlfriend and go out with him, huh? That’s what you want right? Well that’s not how the ing world works Sehun!”
He flinched and his eyes widened. I couldn’t believe what I just said to him. My heart ached as I saw tears forming in his eyes. He prevented them from falling and smiled.
“ I get what you say. It was nice being your best friend. I’ll miss you. You better go before Sooyoung noona get mad” I nodded and murmured a quick “ bye” before walking outside.
I closed the door and fell leaning my body against the door. I clutched my aching heart. How can this happen? This whole time I thought he only thought of me as a friend. I don’t like him. I don’t like him. I, Xi Luhan don’t like or love Oh Sehun, right? No! I walked outside and fell on the steps.
“ Luhan!”
I looked up and hugged the girl in front of me.
“ Oppa, what’s wrong?” she asked.
“ Tiffany, I messed up”
“ What happened?”
" Did you know Sehun liked me?" I asked and she chuckled.
" Everyone knew"
“ What am I going to do?” I questioned ruffling my hair.
“ There is nothing you can do”
“ What?”
“ He’s leaving for America tomorrow. There is nothing you can do because it’s late”
“ I’ll tell him the truth!”
“ That you like him?” she questioned.
“ No. I’ll say that we are friends and I’ll miss him” I said and she smacked my head.
“ If you’re not going to confess then don’t even meet him. It will only hurt him more” she said walking away. I stood up and moped all the way to my house. I opened my door and went straight to my room and fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning with a clear mind and got ready. I went to the kitchen and started eating some cereal when my mom came in.
“ Why are you up so early?” she asked sitting across from me. I shrugged.
“ Is it because of Sehun?”
I nodded.
“ Are you upset about losing your best friend or something else?” she questioned smirking.
“ Of course it’s the best friend thing”
“ Sweetie, it’s not late. Go and tell him how you feel before you regret it” she confronted walking away.
“ Why do you women always confuse me?”
I looked at my clock and saw that his flight leaves in five hours. I walked out deciding to go on a walk. This is nice. I thought feeling the refreshing air. I entered a cafe and ordered a coffee. I must be crazy, right. No. No. NO! I don't like Sehun! But why can’t I?
I finished my coffee and took a short nap at home. I fluttered my eyes opened to see it was 11: 30
Aish! I’m gonna be late! I cursed running out. Sehun, you can’t leave until I tell you how I feel. Luhan realized that this was the only chance running towards the airport. I started running when my phone rang.
“ Hello?”
“ Luhan, Sehun is leaving! Where are you?” Tiffany yelled.
“ Stall him! I’m coming!” I said turning the corner and bumping into someone.
“ Hey! Jerk!” she yelled as I continued running. I turned around and gave her a quick sorry before continuing running. I arrived at the airport and bolted in.
“ Where is he?” I asked noticing Tiffany. She pointed to a person walking towards the gate. Luhan immediately recognized the brown hair boy as he approached him. I put my hand on his shoulder and he turned flipping me over. I groaned as he turned around shocked.
“ Luhan, I’m so sorry” he apologized helping me up. “ It’s fine”
“ Why you here?” he asked staring at me with those beautiful small eyes. I stood staring at those pleading eyes hoping I said what he wanted to hear. I have to do it!
I can’t let him suffer anymore. I sighed.
“ Sehun, I have to send my best friend off, duh!”
He stared at me hurt and my heart ached. I mentally facepalmed myself. Suddenly the airport called his flight and he smiled.
“ I see. Well I should go now”
“ Take care”
“ I will” he said trying not to let the tears escape from his eyes.
“ Bye” he said giving me a quick hug before entering the gates. How could I mess up that chance. Why couldn’t I say those words to Sehun. Yeah, I like you too Oh Sehun.
