Chapter Five (1/1)

The first thing he notices when he slowly shifts from dreamland to reality is that everything is almost blindingly dark.Still weighed down by sleep, Luhan groans immediately at the wave of pain that hits him in his lower body. As he blinks away the sudden tears nearly forming from the sting coming from said place, his eyes finally adjust to the darkness and he can now make out certain objects in the blackness of wherever he is.He sits up, taking longer than usual due to the ache in his body, and immediately opens his mouth in a silent scream when he feels an excruciating stab of pain hitting him where he was violated just the day before.Scenes of the rape attempt from yesterday dot his memory slowly as his drowsiness wears off, and within seconds, the gears in brain grind together to register the fact that he’s not in his room.Oh dear God. Luhan moans, half because he’s still hurting everywhere in his body and half due to the fact that he was in someone else’s bed and he had no recollection of the night before.He waits for a while for his body to adjust to the pain, but gives up when it doesn’t wear off. He settles with numbing the pain away, and lets time pass until he can barely feel pain nor anything else in his back and lower body.When most of the stings transform into a somehow satisfying ache, and his muscles hum from a manageable sore, only then does he register into his only senses working that there is another body next to him. He can feel warmth radiating from the being settled down beside him, and considering how he can feel breathing against his hand now that he’s aware, he guesses the person’s lying close by.He shifts his gaze from random spaces in the room to the one catching his attention next to him and his eyes widen.The moon streaming in through the large window blankets across the lying body and illuminates the face. Luhan can make out thin lips parted slightly for the intake of air. The brown hair of the boy is parted to expose closed eyes and thin eyebrows. Luhan continues to stare and fixes his attention on the nose. Straight and pointy – not perfect, but good enough. Just then everything halts and his breathing hitches. Wait a minute.He leans in closer to the face, ignoring the pain to do so, and squints.His breathing must’ve shaken the other boy from his sleep, because he slowly stirs and opens his shuttered lids, shocking Luhan. He jumps back, and stares.The other boy seems to be shocked, too. He widens his eyes and mirrors back the surprise on Luhan’s face. Just then, the boy’s eyes settle down to half his size and while he looked wide awake just a second before, now he looks like he’s half asleep again.“Hey…” A husky voice breaks out and Luhan just then realizes how quiet it was in the room.“Who the fuck are you?” Luhan thinks he has a guess about the identity of the boy, but he denies it wholeheartedly.“You stupid idiot,” the random outburst of degrading words inflict a more obvious look of shock on Luhan’s face.He recognizes that lisp.Suddenly angry at the boy for sticking in his mind for the longest time even though the latter had no control over it, Luhan spits out, “Where am I? Why am I back here?! I’m not supposed to see you. One night stands are one night stands for a fucking reason! Did you drug me?!”“Whoa, calm down, Xi Han.”  Xi Han? Oh, that’s right. Luhan never uses his real name when being involved with one time partners.“Explain to me why I’m back here and why we are in the same bed.”Sehun is calm and even looks a little amused, whi
