“Sehun, maybe we should only contact each other when you get your blood test result. I think I might need to have some time alone.” The two blonde males stood face to face at the entrance of the hospital, attempting to settle everything. Sehun paused for a moment and he nodded to agree to give themselves two weeks, do whatever they wanted to, and think whatever they had to. Initially Sehun was tempted to give Luhan a hug before parting, but Sehun was nothing different from ordinary people, he was afraid of the HIV-labeled Luhan. He only nodded his head letting Luhan know that he should get going now, and left the hospital on his own. Within the coming two weeks, Luhan was quite accustomed to the anti-HIV drugs because it felt just like taking some common flu medicine which would make you feel better, psychologically. His nightmares started to decrease and he got to regain his energy. He sat at his desk again with a pencil in his grip; he drew out a mind map of the possibilities in his life. Worse comes to worst, one possibility would seem to suffice. Get a ‘proper’ job. It shouldn’t be difficult for Luhan as he was the brightest student in class and graduated with a first class honors degree in programming. It has only been four years since graduating from college, he was sick of the stuff he had been seeing in his college years and thought that he’d never go back to programming ever again. He wanted quick money, though. In the end his decision was quite of a success because he was good at sex, and gender didn’t matter to him, as long as he gets paid. Among the list of jobs that he considered, he circled “Programming”. Confidence, was what he needed most at the moment. He quickly turned on his laptop and started on his resume. Got it done, and printed it out. He knew that there was one IT company which was short in programmers, and he called the company without hesitation. Crossing his fingers hoping that the company wouldn’t request a health report from him, and the company really didn’t! Provided that the company was really in need of programmers, they didn’t have time to think about health reports. They even requested Luhan to go for the interview on the next day. Everything went smooth for Luhan ever since he started to take the anti-HIV drugs, he even got a proper job, and continued to hide his HIV positive status from everyone in the office. Two weeks flew past in a flash, Luhan received a call from Sehun while he was working. “Hey. I’m just calling to tell you that, I’m HIV free. I… I’m sorry that I was being mean to you, I hope you could forgive – ““Sehun, it’s nothing. I’m really glad that you’re not infected. Look, I’m kind of busy now, I’ll call you back later.”  Sehun wanted to apologize to Luhan personally so he decided to take Luhan out for a dinner, if only Luhan would call him back. He had been waiting for three days for Luhan to call. Maybe he’s really busy, he thought.  Three days.One week.Two weeks.  Luhan was wearing himself out because he wanted to show his best at work that he had forgotten about Sehun. He didn’t realize that he was actually trying to cover up his emotional burden with physical stress. He was attempting to distract himself from the HIV related thoughts and nightmares. However, his body wasn’t made of steel. After having a sandwich for lunch at his work desk, Luhan dashed to the washroom to throw everything up. He didn’t know why but to only suspect that the sandwich was bad. He then started to throw up occasionally, regardless of the food he ate, or even when he didn’t eat anything at all. Without being able to gather his energy to even walk, he rested in his bed but he couldn’t fall asleep. The thoughts he had been trying to hinder came back haunting him once again. Feeling troubled, Sehun came into mind. Reaching out for his phone at the side of his bed and he dialed number 1, he wasn’t sure what the reason was that he called Sehun. “Sehun… I miss you.”   [a/n: sorry for this boring chapter :/  i will try to update asap! thanks for reading! <3 ]
