Sehun grimaced as he finished gagging up the meager dinner he had eaten. Gingerly, he extended his right hand to flush the toilet, while placing his other hand over his aching stomach. The pain was slowly starting to ebb away, but he felt exhausted.
        He limped over to the sinks and assessed himself in the mirror. Usually, he had to resist the urge to kiss his reflection, but what he saw made him cringe. There were dark circles around his eyes, pink patches on his otherwise pale cheeks, and a thin layer on sweat coating it all.
