Luhan hung up after he was done checking on Mr Oh's condition from his wife.

When he thought about it again, the excuse he gave them was somewhat illogical. How was he supposed to tell Sehun's parents that he left because of Nana? Since he did assure the elders that he'd come and visit later, Luhan had no choice but to fulfil the promise he'd accidentally blurted out.

As soon as his evening classes ended, he drove to the hospital. The rain seemed to be pouring more heavily than the drizzle from a few minutes ago.

Luhan craned his neck, searching for a parking spot. It was almost impossible for him to find one at this time. After 15 minutes of driving around, he finally found one. He fished around in his back seat, looking for an umbrella but he was left disappointed when he came away empty. How could he have forgotten that he'd lent it to Kai?

"How do I get out?" Luhan started to feel troubled, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. The rain didn't look like it would stop soon and the sky gradually turned darker and darker, swallowing the sun. Luhan couldn't think of any way to get out. Whether he liked it or not, he was forced to stay in the car until the rain stops. He couldn't get out and dash to the entrance since his car was parked too far from it.

The dashboard showed ten minutes to seven. Not wanting to waste more time, he raced out of the car, using his long fingers to shield him from the rain even though it hardly did a thing; he was drenched from top to bottom.

Despite that, he was much happier that he'd escaped from his car.

In his drenched state, he entered the elevator, a man in his forties shaking his head disapprovingly. Some were distancing themselves from him and Luhan felt like the worst man alive. He was only capable of keeping his head down.

As he exited the elevator after what seemed like aeons, his heartbeat sped up. God, please don't let Sehun be there too. However, deep down in his heart, he was hoping to catch a glimpse of the doctor, even if he was still mad at him. He admitted he kind of missed Sehun's presence. Love is blind, isn't it? Your loved ones hurt you, but you still find yourself wanting to get closer.

The ward's door wasn't fully closed when he got there. Peeking through, Luhan could see them one by one. Sehun was there!

Luhan gathered his courage and inhaled deeply, gaining enough composure to push the door open.

"Why don't you guys wait for him? I don't think I have enough time, there's still so many things that need to be done. I promised Nana that I'd fetch her."

The voice was oh-so-familiar to Luhan -- he could recognise it anywhere, Sehun's distinctive monotone. He dropped his intention of wanting to open the door, clenching his fist tightly and laughing to himself in disbelief. Sehun wouldn't do that to him, right?

"It's up to you, don't say I didn't warn you." Mrs Oh replied to her son.

Luhan stood like a statue, not moving an inch. If it was up to him, he would have already left but he couldn't move as if his legs were glued to the floor.

"I'm taking my leave now, mum and dad..."

Sehun footsteps were getting closer to the door until it opened and the two made eye contact with each other.

"Luhan, why are you drenched?" Sehun's tone was clearly telling him that he wasn't pleased with Luhan's presence. Luhan stared at him longingly before breaking into a fake smile. "By the way, I have some things to do, I'll see you later. Erm... you're blocking my way, care to move to the side?"

Turns out Sehun was like one of those people in the elevator. Didn't Sehun take any pity on him?

God, why do you torture me like this? This is too much for me to handle. I'm just a weak person...
