Warning/s: Character death
“How is it going?” his best friend asked enthusiastically bounding after him, when he finally got home.
Sehun smiled bitterly, “Rejected, of course.”
Chanyeol, his best friend, chose to remain silent. Opting to quietly follow Sehun to the living room and flopping on the sofa just as Sehun did.
“No one likes the idea of having a cloning.” Sehun mumbled softly, sagging into the couch sadly.
“For god sake, this is a modern era, where all the newborn babies already have iPads before they even enter this world! What were the scientist thinking? Your idea is brilliant!”
Sehun chuckled darkly, gazing vacantly at the ceiling, “I know. It’s so brilliant, it’s crazy for them.”
“But you’re like the best youth scientist there. The director and the seniors should seriously have more faith in your capability.”
“Yes, but they said my invention is too risky. They kept giving me excuses like, ‘What if the religion association destroys the facility because they feel your invention is against god’s law?’ ” Mocked Sehun.
“That’s a ridiculous reason.” Chanyeol said a matter-of-factly.
“Right,” Sehun agree, “I know what the real reason is. They doesn’t want to sponsor some ‘un-realistic’ research. They need proof while what I give on my presentation is just a fuckin' theory of cell duplication, nuclear cell and an electro cell which is they already know.”
“Then why don’t you show them the prototype?”
“You know how I work. I’m working out it out in my head, rather than making a simulation or any models, prototype and stuff.”
“So you already made the clone?”
“Yes, I am. Or yes, I was before I realized how inaccurate the calculation was, and that I needed a bigger fund and facility.”
Chanyeol sighed, eyeing his best friend, “You know it needs to be completed soon to get the money for Luna’s treatment.”
Sehun let out a dejected sigh. He wanted to cry badly for feeling so utterly helpless, useless. His wife, Luna, is at the other room of their cramped apartment, fighting the cancer that was growing in her heart. Sehun knew the simple treatments from his intern friend, Chanyeol, was not enough to heal the cancer. He needed money for the proper treatment Luna dearly needed. The only source of money for Sehun is from the laboratory, the facility he worked in. And he needs to save a total 18 months of his salary in order to pay the hospital.
His wife however, had little time left.
“Sehun,” he sat up abruptly as he heard the faint whisper of his wife’s voice from the bedroom.
“Hi Luna,” Sehun greeted, entering the room. Luna, laid weakly on their bed. The bottle of IV, the oxygen tube that connected to the oxygen mask she wears, filled their confined bedroom.
“How do you feel today? Better?” Sehun felt so stupid asking this, of course Luna was obviously feeling terrible, but Sehun was lucky Luna was such a lovely wife and did not slap him in the face after asking the obvious.
“I’m fine,” she said with a soft smile. Luna was so sweet. Sehun and Luna were best friends since they were one. They grew up together in the orphanage for seventeen years before they decided to live together when they left. They got married when Sehun was in college, who managed to earn a scholarship for being smart. or u can replace it with, who managed to earn a scholarship for being a bright student. Maintaning his good grade while working on three different part-time job was exhausting for Sehun. But he kept striving for what he did to make a living for Luna and him. Life has been tough for them but they managed alright.
Sehun got a job at the facility a years ago. His job was basically to mix the new chemicals & drugs and write a monthly report. But Sehun needed more money after Chanyeol had diagnosed luna with cancer. That was why Sehun convinced his senior to give him a higher paying job, who kindly gave him an opportunity to conduct his own research, which was already being discredited because of how bizarre his idea was.
“How’s the project going?”
Sehun smiled bitterly, this question again.
“It’s going smoothly,” Sehun answered, caressing Luna’s jet black hair.
She frowned slightly at this. “You haven’t made it? I thought you were working on it these past months.”
“I was. I’m working out the kinks. The duplication process is giving me trouble. It’s either their organs malfunction or they just didn’t develop well. Plus, nobody wants to donate a sample of their DNA or fund for the project by someone like me.”
“Hey,” Luna called out, grabbing Sehun’s hand and running her thumb at the back of it, “Don’t be like that. You’re a good scientist. A brilliant one. I know you’re capable of doing this. Besides, I’m still remember the dream of this little boy. He said he wanted to be a super scientist who save the world. Don’t give up.”
Sehun burrowed his face on the duvet, “Please stop mentioning that. It’s embarrassing.”
Luna chuckled, knowing how close Sehun kept his childhood dream despite his reaction whenever Luna mentioned it.
“I believe in you Sehun.”
Sehun lifted his head and squeezed Luna’s hand lovingly, “I know. You’ve always have been.”
***
Sehun gnawed on his lip anxiously, as the Director examined the prototype he had been working hard on for the past few weeks.
The Director turned to him impassively. “Do you believe the real cloning will be as good as this prototype?” Pride crept into his chest, at the thought that the director was considering his prototype to be as good as the real one.
“I believe it will do sir. I'm certain the prototype’s calculations were accurate.”
The director nod, face still stoic as before, “You can go now.”
Sehun walked out the Director’s office, shoulders slumping in dismal. The Director hadn’t mentioned whether or not the prototype was ready to be presented to an investor or not. He really hoped the Director considering it well. Because Sehun really needed that sponsor’s fund.
“Hey Sehun, how’s it going?” Jin, Sehun’s senior intern, asked appearing beside him.
Sehun shrugged. “I don’t know. I have just presented my prototype to the Director and it seemed like he didn’t like it.”
“I saw the prototype, and I think it’s wonderful. I believe Director will offer it to a sponsor.”
Sehun nibbled on his lips again. The Director looked like he hated his idea so much. Even if Sehun had been exhibiting a total different project, he knew all too well that if the Director already decide he hates it, there was no changing his mind.
“You know you’re the best junior here I know, right?” Jin said, looking at him in the eye. Sehun uncomfortably shifted his gaze to the plant behind Jin. He was never use to compliments; it’s not making his life better. What's the good in a bunch of empty words if Sehun could not exchange it with money?
“You are an ambitious and hard-working person. If the director rejects your idea this time, I know you will come up with an even better idea.”
“I don’t have the time to think of anything else,” Sehun muttered feebly. Luna’s cancer wasn’t going wait for Sehun to think other idea. It would only grow and worsen.
Sehun’s phone began vibrating in his pocket, Sehun quickly excused himself, and answered the phone after finding the call was from Chanyeol.
“Hello?”
“Sehun!” Chanyeol alarmed voice echoed in his ear, something was obviously wrong.
“We need to get Luna to the hospital now. Her condition is getting worse.”
***
Sehun got back to his apartment as fast as possible, frantically running up to the stairs for the emergency exit. Luna laid limply in Chanyeol’s arms. Sehun immediately lift Luna up into the car and took her to the hospital.
The one hospital that ever cross Sehun mind when he was in his panic mode was his director’s hospital. It was near his facility he worked in. Sehun brought Luna to the ER and the intern there had asking him to fill in a several form while the other ran a check up on Luna. “We need to do a surgery to remove the cancer before it spread to another organ.”
Sehun’s mind was blank. He has no money at that moment. He can’t couldnt borrow it to Chanyeol too because he already borrowed a lot of money from Chanyeol.
“C-can I talk to the hospital owner?” Sehun asked.
The intern furrowed his eyebrows, confused with his request.
“It’s alright, I know him. He’s my boss in the facility he own.” He nodded reassuringly.
Sehun then found himself in his boss room, begging for some help from him.
“Please, sir, help me. I have no money to pay the hospital bills, but my wife needs a surgery soon. I will do anything to pay you back sir.”
“I will free you from the hospital bills,” the director said, make Sehun gasped in astonishment.
The director held his phone and calling his intern, “Please prepare a surgery for Patient Oh Luna. And give her the best room we have.”
Sehun’s flustered. The chairman didn’t look like he wanted to help him. But the next second he was calling his intern and gave Sehun the best from what he begged for.
“T-thank you sir.”
“But you have to pay me back with your cloning.”
“W-what?”
“Your project, remember? I’m considering that you’ll do well this time. I believe in your capability.”
“Good,” the director said as he leaned back to his chair “Now I will lend a house at the village that has been equipped with high tech laboratory equipments. Your Wife will be treated well here, what you need to do is just working on it well and give a perfect cloning for me and the sponsor. I know you have a great capability to do that. Do you understand?”
“Yes. I-I will try sir.”
“You may leave.”
Sehun stood up and bowed bowed to the director before leaving the room with triumph filling his heart.
***
Even though the surgery went well, Luna relapsed into a coma. Sehun never left her side even once, those few days he was allowed to stay with her.
The day soon came when Sehun had to get to work. He decided that he would make a clone of his wife. So after collecting his wife's DNA sample and collecting the data needed ,he quickly made his way to his new workplace.
The house his boss has mentioned to him was located at the countryside, not far from the hospital. The House that his boss gave him was neither too big nor too small. It’s just perfect, unlike like the cramped space they had given to him back at the facility. The evergreen fields and the fresh wind gave peace to Sehun’s scrambled thoughts. The house was like any other one; it had two bed rooms, a kitchen, and a warm and comfortable living room, and a basement.
The basement was where he decided to conduct his project. There was a lot of sophisticated machines around the room made Sehun felt as if he was in a robotic laboratory. After cleaning up the place, he proceeded to lock himself in the basement and get down to business.
He had two DNA samples; one was Chanyeol’s and the other was Luna’s. Chanyeol willingly donated his dna to sehun. So he made use Chanyeol’s DNA first.
At the beginning, the process ran along smoothly. The cell duplicated, and the production of the new embryo grew quickly day by day in a large tub filled with a water. Then embryo grew to the giant size of nut. Sehun could see the formation of the hands, feet, and head inside the placenta. Sehun smiled triumphantly at his progress, at this rate he would be done in no time. But much to his dismay, the heart beat monitor suddenly went haywire. The human in the placenta began to move, the machine that was connected to his lungs strated beeping at a rapid rate,and seemed to be in need of an oxygen support. Sehun knew that the clone was not ready to be taken out from the tube. But as the movement went frantic Sehun opened the tube and the clone fell after the placenta cracked open. The clone’s skin was too soft, not formed perfectly. His left hand was still as small as the baby. The cloning eventually stopped breathing.
On the second trial, Sehun used his wife’s DNA. He made sure to work on it carefully, checking each calculation twice wanting this trial to be accurate. And just like before, the embryo grew fast. When the embryo had completely developed, Sehun found himself perplexed. The clone was supposed to be a woman, not a male. The cloning growth went without a hitch, unlike the last one. His heart rate was normal; he wasn't struggling for the oxygen.
Nevertheless, Sehun smiled happily at the fact that his clone was growing so well. Aside from the fact that the clone was supposed to be a woman, but Sehun was still glad that the male clone's heart was functioning. As time goes by The clone's body had already been shaped perfectly ; the placenta had peeled off him. He had a light brown hair, and long eyelashes. Although his eyes were still closed Sehun knew the clone's orbs would be as beautiful as his wife’s. He had a cute button nose with pink lips to match. He had skin that was white and flawless and plump cheeks; he was truly beautiful.
One day, when Sehun was in his kitchen, he was stunned by the sound of water splashing in his personal lab. He ran frantically to the basement to find his clone curled on the floor. The monitor that kept check on the cloning heart beat began making a number of irregular beeps, signaling to Sehun that the clone's heart was in danger of stopping. Sehun slowly approached the clone; feeling confused, sad and disappointed at the sight of his creation curled up there and probably dying. When Sehun reached down to caress the clone's cheek, he was surprised when the clone whimpered in response.
And just like that the heart beat suddenly went back to normal. Sehun smiled in glee, scooping up his clone in his arms bridal style. The clone coiled in Sehun’s embrace, his hand circling around Sehun’s torso and nuzzling his cold cheek onto Sehun’s warm chest.
The clone moan, a sound that told him how comfortable and warm he was in Sehun’s embrace.
“Hang in there buddy,” Sehun whispered, bringing the clone to his room and laying the clone on his bed. And the child-like boy mewled and furrowed his brows when he felt cold and automatically hugged his vulnerable naked body. Sehun quickly took a thick duvet and wrapped up the trembling clone.
“There buddy, isn’t it warm?” Sehun ask, his hand once again caressing the clone cheek, who in turn leaned to Sehun's touch, purring in comfort.
Sehun chuckled at the cute scene, he then hugged the clone's body, pressing it's vulnerable body into his chest.
Sehun sighed in relief, “I’m happy you’re alive buddy.”
***
When Sehun woke up, the clone that was lying next to him was gone. Sehun sat up abruptly, panic sweeping into his system, when he heard a little whine from the right corner of his room.
The clone hugged his knees close, terror filling his doe-eyes looking up at Sehun. As expected, he really had beautiful eyes.
“Hey,” Sehun called out attempting to get closer . The clone whined again, his body was trembling.
“It’s ok, I won’t hurt you,” Sehun said, as he stretched out his hand to touch his handsome little creation. But his clone backed away, wide eyes looking at Sehun’s stretched arm in alarm.
Sehun’s palms caress the cloning cheek, and the cloning automatically lean his face to Sehun’s warm palm. The cloning smile, purring when he recognized the warm that enveloped him all the time last night. Both his cold hand made away to Sehun’s hand, as he kept the hands there to caress his cheek.
“Don’t be afraid.”
“Don’t be afraid.” The clone repeated.
Sehun chuckle at the adorable act.
“I still don’t know, what should I named you.” Sehun said smiling down at the cloning who was staring innocently to him. “You’re so cute. I will make a cute name for you.”
“How about...Nahun? Na from Luna and Hun from Sehun. Does it sound good?”
“No it doesn’t sounds good,” Sehun mumbled.
“How about Luhan? Or HunNa?”
The clone returned to rubbing his cheek against his palm at that point.
“Luhan! I will named you Luhan.” Sehun exclaimed in triumph.
“Luhan,” the cloning repeated once again.
“Yes, Luhan. Han from Hana. Because you’re the first cloning that ever come to life in this world. Do you like it?”
“Like it?” Luhan copied again.
Sehun laughed, tilting Luhan's head upwards. Damn, he was so beautiful.
“Repeat after me. My name is Luhan, I’m a cloning created by my owner, Oh Sehun. Luhan is Oh Sehun’s first cloning,” Sehun said as he kept an eye on Luhan. It was just last night his cloning was alive, and this morning his cloning opened his eyes, but Sehun was already captivated, he liked to see those pretty brown eyes that was staring back at him
“Luhan is Oh Sehun’s,” Luhan repeating the few words he remembered. Sehun laughed at that, “Yes, You are mine.”
***
Sehun found that Luhan was really genius, his intelligence surpassed the normal human's ability. He learnt fast. He learned to read, write and speak in just two days, and to eat within 4 minutes. Luhan had a beautiful voice, so Sehun had no problem listening to Luhan blabbering nonstop about everything after he finished his book.
Luhan’s favorite book is Snow White. He asked Sehun about anything all the time when found the time to read the book for him.
“Why the witch is so mean?”
“What’s Snow white doing wondering alone in the wood?”
“Sehun, can I meet the dwarfs?”
“Why the prince need to kiss her to wake her up?”
Sehun patiently answered the innocent questions from Luhan. And Luhan listened to each responses well, golden locks bobbing while he was nodding his head.
Then the last question from Luhan before he slept shocked Sehun.
“Sehun, can you kiss me to wake me up?”
Luhan also like hugs, Sehun noticed. He would sleep if Sehun hugged him. When he woke up, he would hug Sehun and chirped ‘Good Morning!’ cutely. When he cried in pain, like when Sehun tattooed Luhan’s code ,345N, at the back of his neck, Sehun had to hold him tight to calm him down. Sehun didn’t hate that side of Luhan. It amused him because his wife was not that clingy and childish. Even though the clone was supposed to be exactly like her, Luhan turned out to be totally different from her.
It was not like Sehun hated it. It was just different. Different in good and lovable way for Sehun.
***
Sehun only told Chanyeol about the successful cloning He didn't want to tell the director yet. He was afraid that the director would take Luhan away for the experiments, the test for lab research, something Luhan wasn't ready to take yet. The fact that Luhan was still crying over something like his elbow hitting the door remind Sehun that the lab research was no game.
Chanyeol visited him often, and Luhan steadily grew closer to Chanyeol. Chanyeol was a child at heart as well, so he liked to play with Luhan. And Luhan liked to hug Chanyeol (which was now forbidden by Sehun for a ‘safety reasons’) too because Chanyeol was so big and tall like a tree.
One day Luhan suddenly act indifferently toward him. He suddenly ask for his own bedroom, stopped clinging to Sehun, stopped whining whenever Sehun said he need to work on the basement, he suddenly keep a distance with Sehun. He looked so rigid, and often stole a nervous glances toward his creator and was careful not to make any skin contact. Which was really a one-eighty degree turn from his usual behavior.
But the fact that he still needed Sehun’s presence to sleep -sneaking to Sehun’s room every night and curl close to Sehun's body- put Sehun in ease.
Not long after that Chanyeol, Luhan’s partner in crime, came for visit. Sehun was not in ease any longer. Luhan ran toward Chanyeol and jump into Chanyeol hug makes Sehun cringe. He pulled Chanyeol to his room and let flustered Sehun alone in the living room. Luhan still keep the distance between him and Sehun but he seems closer to Chanyeol. Luhan always whispering something to Chanyeol, after that Chanyeol will smile smugly to Sehun and Sehun really confused. Chanyeol and Luhan spend their time in Luhan’s room most of the time, ‘Playing and sharing a secret between BFF’ Chanyeol said and Sehun really confused and pissed.
“Something is wrong with Luhan,” Chanyeol said calmly when he help Sehun to make a dinner in the kitchen.
Sehun widen his eyes, panic written all over his face “Really? W-wrong like? Does he do something unusual?!”
Chanyeol chuckle, “Not like that. It’s just wrong in the good way.”
“What do you mean by that?” Sehun ask, sometimes he doesn’t understand Chanyeol at all. He’s weird and all but he still Sehun’s best friend.
“Why don’t you ask Luhan by yourself?” Chanyeol suggested.
“Well i will asked him if he stop avoiding me,” Sehun said while cutting the tomato (Luhan’s favorite) a bit too harsh.
“He has his own reason why he avoid you. The dinner is ready why don’t you wake little lulu up from his nap?”
“Stop calling him that,” Sehun said, sharp eyes piercing into Chanyeol.
“Why? It’s my nickname for him!”
“Luhan is my clone,” Sehun said sternly and threw a napkin to Chanyeol, “Not yours.”
Chanyeol chuckle and it makes Sehun more annoyed than he did before. He roll his eyes before he leave to woke Luhan up.
Sehun open the door of Luhan’s room slowly. The boy sleeping peacefully on his bed. He tuck his hand under his head. He’s snoring cutely and his pink lips parted slightly.
“Lu, wake up.” Sehun said, shaking Luhan’s body slowly.
Luhan furrowed his eyebrows and mumbling incoherently.
Sehun smile then ruffle Luhan’s hair, “Luhan wake up. The dinner is ready. I slice a plate of tomatoes for you.”
Luhan slowly open his eyes. He’s blinking a few more times before he’s fully awake. His doe-eyes notice Sehun’s presence and to Sehun surprise, Luhan’s flinching and snap Sehun’s hand away.
“What’s wrong?” Sehun asked dejectedly.
“No-nothing!” Luhan said nervously as he clutch his chest tighter.
“Luhan don’t do that, your shirt will be wrinkled if you clutch it hard. It will looks ugly.”
Luhan -as always-- did what Sehun told but keep sitting stiffly on the other side of his bed.
“Why would you sit so far away from me? You always do this these days, you even stop sleeping with me and ask for your own room.” Sehun said, “Why would you avoid me? Did i do something wrong?”
Luhan pout sadly and he avoids Sehun’s eyes because his heart do that fast beating again.
“I feel weird when I'm with you,” Luhan confess, “There’s a weird feeling in my chest. There’s a loud and fast thumping in my chest whenever you’re close to me. When you touch and hug me, I feel so warm and my cheeks feels like burning. It’s weird but i always want to be with you, it's frightening.”
Sehun listen calmly while Luhan was fidgeting on his seat. Luhan was contemplating between whether he should tell Sehun what Chanyeol told him earlier or not.
“And Chanyeol said-”
“Chanyeol said?”
Luhan gulped, “I-it’s called Love.”
An awkward silence settled thickly between the two. Luhan regretted his decision ever said about ‘Love’ in front of Sehun. Luhan knew what love was. It’s always mentioned in the fairytales he read before bedtime. Cinderella and Prince Charming love each other, Snow White and the Prince love each other too- they even kissed! Love is a mutual feeling that felt by two people for making a happily ever after ending in a story. And Chanyeol said, love could be felt by only one person too,it can be not mutual, but it’s feel hurt, more painful than the tattoo Sehun’s draw on his neck.
The sound of Sehun’s bellowing laugh was what pulled Luhan from his roving thoughts. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. Was love seen as something funny too?
“Well, it might be true. That’s how you feel when you’re fall in love. It’s like there’s a butterfly in your tummy when someone smile at you. The thumping sound -which is called a heartbeat- that beating faster when someone you love close. The longing you feel when they’re away from you.”
True, Luhan felt it too. What Sehun said is right. Luhan always feel there’s something flutter in his tummy whenever Sehun smile and touch him lovingly. He always sad and need Sehun to comeback quickly whenever Sehun lock himself in the basement when he was working.
Sehun indeed a genius man. Luhan conclude, Sehun is better than prince charming on the book. He was handsome, kind and smart. Luhan like him more.
“S-so that means, Luhan loves Sehun?”
Sehun smiled and sit closer to Luhan, “Maybe, maybe you love me.”
“Then, does Sehun love Luhan too?”
Sehun laugh and pull Luhan into his embrace, “Of course Sehun Love you, Luhan is his creation. Luhan is his.”
Luhan should be happy because Sehun has a mutual feeling for him. But he feels weird and flustered instead because the heart beat inside Sehun’s chest beat normally. Doesn’t someone in love have a fast heart beat like him? Sehun said he loves him but why Luhan feels his love is so hurtful? The pain in his chest is like the hot ink that Sehun scribble on his neck.
***
After Luhan confess his feeling to Sehun, its Sehun turns to make a distance between them. Actually when Luhan confess to him, Sehun was surprised because what he do actually developed a feeling on his Cloning. He shouldn’t been so close to Luhan from the beginning.
He hopes Luhan just confused between love and attraction. Because Sehun already has a wife and he didn’t want his clone feels something bad like broken heart.
He was no longer hug Luhan and avoid Luhan’s hug. After Luhan’s learning session, Sehun will be going straight to his lab doing something Luhan doesn’t know. He will going upstairs right after Luhan sleep.
Sehun should remember that Luhan is smart. Of course Luhan know something must be up. That's why, one night, he wait Sehun to comeback from the basement. After he yawns for a several times, He heard the door to basement stairs opened and he heard Sehun’s step.
Luhan’s heard a faint voice of a door closed. He wakes up and walking out from his room. Going to Sehun’s bedroom in the end of the corridor.
“Sehun? Are you awake?” Luhan peek at Sehun’s room not waiting for Sehun to let him in (sort of habit, because every night he will creep to Sehun’s room and sleep close to Sehun's warm body).
“Hey Luhan,” Sehun who’s still awake and now reading a book asked, “What’s wrong?”
Luhan hesitantly walk to Sehun and sit on the bed beside Sehun, “Are you mad at me?”
Sehun furrowed his eyebrows, “No.”
“Then why don’t you let Luhan hug you anymore?” Luhan bit his lips.
“I’m not mad, Luhan. I-”
“Is it because Luhan loves you?”
Luhan finally let his tears fall. He knows Loving Sehun was wrong from the beginning. If loving Sehun means lost Sehun’s presence and hug, he shouldn’t love Sehun at all.
“I’m sorry Sehun. I promise I won’t love you anymore. B-but please-”
“What are you talking about Luhan? It’s not because you love me.” Sehun hug Luhan, “I’m sorry i make you confused. Sehun loves you. It’s Just-”
“Just what?” Luhan tilt his head to face Sehun.
“It’s just I'm-” Luhan blink his tears away as he waits for Sehun’s next words. Sehun who keep looking on Luhan just realize on how innocent Luhan was, he has no heart to tell Luhan the truth. The bitter truth that can broke his clone sweet heart.
Sehun sigh then cup Luhan’s cheek, “I’m just too busy to play with you last time. Sehun is sorry alright? I promise I will spend my whole day with you tomorrow.”
“P-promise?” Luhan hiccup.
Sehun then peck Luhan’s nose, “Promise.”
“So now, can Luhan sleep with Sehun?”
Sehun nodded and Luhan quickly jump into the duvet and giggling cutely, “This is so warm! I like sleeping with Sehun the best!”
Sehun laugh then crawl beside Luhan and sit there, “Sleep Luhan, I need to done my work first.”
“But Luhan didn’t want to sleep if Sehun didn’t sleep!” Luhan pout cutely.
“But I have work to do.”
“Then can Luhan watch Sehun work? Luhan won’t disturb Sehun.”
Sehun let out a sigh and finally nodded.
Luhan smile brightly then sat beside Sehun and lean his head on Sehun shoulder, “Sehun is so warm. Luhan like warm.”
Luhan yawns, “Luhan like Sehun.”
“Luhan loves Sehun. Very much.”
Luhan fell asleep after that. His Head lulling back and forth on Sehun shoulder. Sehun finally put his journal on the desk and circled his arms around Luhan’s shoulder. Luhan nuzzled his face on the crook of Sehun’s neck.
“Sehun likes Luhan too,” Sehun said as he caress Luhan’s fluffy hair, “Sehun like Luhan so much and he lo-”
His phone ringing on the desk. He picked up and quickly answer the phone.
“Hello?”
“Hello Mr. Oh? I have a good news for you. Your wife is finally awake.”

Warning/s: Character death
“How is it going?” his best friend asked enthusiastically bounding after him, when he finally got home.
Sehun smiled bitterly, “Rejected, of course.”
Chanyeol, his best friend, chose to remain silent. Opting to quietly follow Sehun to the living room and flopping on the sofa just as Sehun did.
“No one likes the idea of having a cloning.” Sehun mumbled softly, sagging into the couch sadly.
“For god sake, this is a modern era, where all the newborn babies already have iPads before they even enter this world! What were the scientist thinking? Your idea is brilliant!”
Sehun chuckled darkly, gazing vacantly at the ceiling, “I know. It’s so brilliant, it’s crazy for them.”
“But you’re like the best youth scientist there. The director and the seniors should seriously have more faith in your capability.”
“Yes, but they said my invention is too risky. They kept giving me excuses like, ‘What if the religion association destroys the facility because they feel your invention is against god’s law?’ ” Mocked Sehun.
“That’s a ridiculous reason.” Chanyeol said a matter-of-factly.
“Right,” Sehun agree, “I know what the real reason is. They doesn’t want to sponsor some ‘un-realistic’ research. They need proof while what I give on my presentation is just a fuckin' theory of cell duplication, nuclear cell and an electro cell which is they already know.”
“Then why don’t you show them the prototype?”
“You know how I work. I’m working out it out in my head, rather than making a simulation or any models, prototype and stuff.”
“So you already made the clone?”
“Yes, I am. Or yes, I was before I realized how inaccurate the calculation was, and that I needed a bigger fund and facility.”
Chanyeol sighed, eyeing his best friend, “You know it needs to be completed soon to get the money for Luna’s treatment.”
Sehun let out a dejected sigh. He wanted to cry badly for feeling so utterly helpless, useless. His wife, Luna, is at the other room of their cramped apartment, fighting the cancer that was growing in her heart. Sehun knew the simple treatments from his intern friend, Chanyeol, was not enough to heal the cancer. He needed money for the proper treatment Luna dearly needed. The only source of money for Sehun is from the laboratory, the facility he worked in. And he needs to save a total 18 months of his salary in order to pay the hospital.
His wife however, had little time left.
“Sehun,” he sat up abruptly as he heard the faint whisper of his wife’s voice from the bedroom.
“Hi Luna,” Sehun greeted, entering the room. Luna, laid weakly on their bed. The bottle of IV, the oxygen tube that connected to the oxygen mask she wears, filled their confined bedroom.
“How do you feel today? Better?” Sehun felt so stupid asking this, of course Luna was obviously feeling terrible, but Sehun was lucky Luna was such a lovely wife and did not slap him in the face after asking the obvious.
“I’m fine,” she said with a soft smile. Luna was so sweet. Sehun and Luna were best friends since they were one. They grew up together in the orphanage for seventeen years before they decided to live together when they left. They got married when Sehun was in college, who managed to earn a scholarship for being smart. or u can replace it with, who managed to earn a scholarship for being a bright student. Maintaning his good grade while working on three different part-time job was exhausting for Sehun. But he kept striving for what he did to make a living for Luna and him. Life has been tough for them but they managed alright.
Sehun got a job at the facility a years ago. His job was basically to mix the new chemicals & drugs and write a monthly report. But Sehun needed more money after Chanyeol had diagnosed luna with cancer. That was why Sehun convinced his senior to give him a higher paying job, who kindly gave him an opportunity to conduct his own research, which was already being discredited because of how bizarre his idea was.
“How’s the project going?”
Sehun smiled bitterly, this question again.
“It’s going smoothly,” Sehun answered, caressing Luna’s jet black hair.
She frowned slightly at this. “You haven’t made it? I thought you were working on it these past months.”
“I was. I’m working out the kinks. The duplication process is giving me trouble. It’s either their organs malfunction or they just didn’t develop well. Plus, nobody wants to donate a sample of their DNA or fund for the project by someone like me.”
“Hey,” Luna called out, grabbing Sehun’s hand and running her thumb at the back of it, “Don’t be like that. You’re a good scientist. A brilliant one. I know you’re capable of doing this. Besides, I’m still remember the dream of this little boy. He said he wanted to be a super scientist who save the world. Don’t give up.”
Sehun burrowed his face on the duvet, “Please stop mentioning that. It’s embarrassing.”
Luna chuckled, knowing how close Sehun kept his childhood dream despite his reaction whenever Luna mentioned it.
“I believe in you Sehun.”
Sehun lifted his head and squeezed Luna’s hand lovingly, “I know. You’ve always have been.”
***
Sehun gnawed on his lip anxiously, as the Director examined the prototype he had been working hard on for the past few weeks.
The Director turned to him impassively. “Do you believe the real cloning will be as good as this prototype?” Pride crept into his chest, at the thought that the director was considering his prototype to be as good as the real one.
“I believe it will do sir. I'm certain the prototype’s calculations were accurate.”
The director nod, face still stoic as before, “You can go now.”
Sehun walked out the Director’s office, shoulders slumping in dismal. The Director hadn’t mentioned whether or not the prototype was ready to be presented to an investor or not. He really hoped the Director considering it well. Because Sehun really needed that sponsor’s fund.
“Hey Sehun, how’s it going?” Jin, Sehun’s senior intern, asked appearing beside him.
Sehun shrugged. “I don’t know. I have just presented my prototype to the Director and it seemed like he didn’t like it.”
“I saw the prototype, and I think it’s wonderful. I believe Director will offer it to a sponsor.”
Sehun nibbled on his lips again. The Director looked like he hated his idea so much. Even if Sehun had been exhibiting a total different project, he knew all too well that if the Director already decide he hates it, there was no changing his mind.
“You know you’re the best junior here I know, right?” Jin said, looking at him in the eye. Sehun uncomfortably shifted his gaze to the plant behind Jin. He was never use to compliments; it’s not making his life better. What's the good in a bunch of empty words if Sehun could not exchange it with money?
“You are an ambitious and hard-working person. If the director rejects your idea this time, I know you will come up with an even better idea.”
“I don’t have the time to think of anything else,” Sehun muttered feebly. Luna’s cancer wasn’t going wait for Sehun to think other idea. It would only grow and worsen.
Sehun’s phone began vibrating in his pocket, Sehun quickly excused himself, and answered the phone after finding the call was from Chanyeol.
“Hello?”
“Sehun!” Chanyeol alarmed voice echoed in his ear, something was obviously wrong.
“We need to get Luna to the hospital now. Her condition is getting worse.”
***
Sehun got back to his apartment as fast as possible, frantically running up to the stairs for the emergency exit. Luna laid limply in Chanyeol’s arms. Sehun immediately lift Luna up into the car and took her to the hospital.
The one hospital that ever cross Sehun mind when he was in his panic mode was his director’s hospital. It was near his facility he worked in. Sehun brought Luna to the ER and the intern there had asking him to fill in a several form while the other ran a check up on Luna. “We need to do a surgery to remove the cancer before it spread to another organ.”
Sehun’s mind was blank. He has no money at that moment. He can’t couldnt borrow it to Chanyeol too because he already borrowed a lot of money from Chanyeol.
“C-can I talk to the hospital owner?” Sehun asked.
The intern furrowed his eyebrows, confused with his request.
“It’s alright, I know him. He’s my boss in the facility he own.” He nodded reassuringly.
Sehun then found himself in his boss room, begging for some help from him.
“Please, sir, help me. I have no money to pay the hospital bills, but my wife needs a surgery soon. I will do anything to pay you back sir.”
“I will free you from the hospital bills,” the director said, make Sehun gasped in astonishment.
The director held his phone and calling his intern, “Please prepare a surgery for Patient Oh Luna. And give her the best room we have.”
Sehun’s flustered. The chairman didn’t look like he wanted to help him. But the next second he was calling his intern and gave Sehun the best from what he begged for.
“T-thank you sir.”
“But you have to pay me back with your cloning.”
“W-what?”
“Your project, remember? I’m considering that you’ll do well this time. I believe in your capability.”
“Good,” the director said as he leaned back to his chair “Now I will lend a house at the village that has been equipped with high tech laboratory equipments. Your Wife will be treated well here, what you need to do is just working on it well and give a perfect cloning for me and the sponsor. I know you have a great capability to do that. Do you understand?”
“Yes. I-I will try sir.”
“You may leave.”
Sehun stood up and bowed bowed to the director before leaving the room with triumph filling his heart.
***
Even though the surgery went well, Luna relapsed into a coma. Sehun never left her side even once, those few days he was allowed to stay with her.
The day soon came when Sehun had to get to work. He decided that he would make a clone of his wife. So after collecting his wife's DNA sample and collecting the data needed ,he quickly made his way to his new workplace.
The house his boss has mentioned to him was located at the countryside, not far from the hospital. The House that his boss gave him was neither too big nor too small. It’s just perfect, unlike like the cramped space they had given to him back at the facility. The evergreen fields and the fresh wind gave peace to Sehun’s scrambled thoughts. The house was like any other one; it had two bed rooms, a kitchen, and a warm and comfortable living room, and a basement.
The basement was where he decided to conduct his project. There was a lot of sophisticated machines around the room made Sehun felt as if he was in a robotic laboratory. After cleaning up the place, he proceeded to lock himself in the basement and get down to business.
He had two DNA samples; one was Chanyeol’s and the other was Luna’s. Chanyeol willingly donated his dna to sehun. So he made use Chanyeol’s DNA first.
At the beginning, the process ran along smoothly. The cell duplicated, and the production of the new embryo grew quickly day by day in a large tub filled with a water. Then embryo grew to the giant size of nut. Sehun could see the formation of the hands, feet, and head inside the placenta. Sehun smiled triumphantly at his progress, at this rate he would be done in no time. But much to his dismay, the heart beat monitor suddenly went haywire. The human in the placenta began to move, the machine that was connected to his lungs strated beeping at a rapid rate,and seemed to be in need of an oxygen support. Sehun knew that the clone was not ready to be taken out from the tube. But as the movement went frantic Sehun opened the tube and the clone fell after the placenta cracked open. The clone’s skin was too soft, not formed perfectly. His left hand was still as small as the baby. The cloning eventually stopped breathing.
On the second trial, Sehun used his wife’s DNA. He made sure to work on it carefully, checking each calculation twice wanting this trial to be accurate. And just like before, the embryo grew fast. When the embryo had completely developed, Sehun found himself perplexed. The clone was supposed to be a woman, not a male. The cloning growth went without a hitch, unlike the last one. His heart rate was normal; he wasn't struggling for the oxygen.
Nevertheless, Sehun smiled happily at the fact that his clone was growing so well. Aside from the fact that the clone was supposed to be a woman, but Sehun was still glad that the male clone's heart was functioning. As time goes by The clone's body had already been shaped perfectly ; the placenta had peeled off him. He had a light brown hair, and long eyelashes. Although his eyes were still closed Sehun knew the clone's orbs would be as beautiful as his wife’s. He had a cute button nose with pink lips to match. He had skin that was white and flawless and plump cheeks; he was truly beautiful.
One day, when Sehun was in his kitchen, he was stunned by the sound of water splashing in his personal lab. He ran frantically to the basement to find his clone curled on the floor. The monitor that kept check on the cloning heart beat began making a number of irregular beeps, signaling to Sehun that the clone's heart was in danger of stopping. Sehun slowly approached the clone; feeling confused, sad and disappointed at the sight of his creation curled up there and probably dying. When Sehun reached down to caress the clone's cheek, he was surprised when the clone whimpered in response.
And just like that the heart beat suddenly went back to normal. Sehun smiled in glee, scooping up his clone in his arms bridal style. The clone coiled in Sehun’s embrace, his hand circling around Sehun’s torso and nuzzling his cold cheek onto Sehun’s warm chest.
The clone moan, a sound that told him how comfortable and warm he was in Sehun’s embrace.
“Hang in there buddy,” Sehun whispered, bringing the clone to his room and laying the clone on his bed. And the child-like boy mewled and furrowed his brows when he felt cold and automatically hugged his vulnerable naked body. Sehun quickly took a thick duvet and wrapped up the trembling clone.
“There buddy, isn’t it warm?” Sehun ask, his hand once again caressing the clone cheek, who in turn leaned to Sehun's touch, purring in comfort.
Sehun chuckled at the cute scene, he then hugged the clone's body, pressing it's vulnerable body into his chest.
Sehun sighed in relief, “I’m happy you’re alive buddy.”
***
When Sehun woke up, the clone that was lying next to him was gone. Sehun sat up abruptly, panic sweeping into his system, when he heard a little whine from the right corner of his room.
The clone hugged his knees close, terror filling his doe-eyes looking up at Sehun. As expected, he really had beautiful eyes.
“Hey,” Sehun called out attempting to get closer . The clone whined again, his body was trembling.
“It’s ok, I won’t hurt you,” Sehun said, as he stretched out his hand to touch his handsome little creation. But his clone backed away, wide eyes looking at Sehun’s stretched arm in alarm.
Sehun’s palms caress the cloning cheek, and the cloning automatically lean his face to Sehun’s warm palm. The cloning smile, purring when he recognized the warm that enveloped him all the time last night. Both his cold hand made away to Sehun’s hand, as he kept the hands there to caress his cheek.
“Don’t be afraid.”
“Don’t be afraid.” The clone repeated.
Sehun chuckle at the adorable act.
“I still don’t know, what should I named you.” Sehun said smiling down at the cloning who was staring innocently to him. “You’re so cute. I will make a cute name for you.”
“How about...Nahun? Na from Luna and Hun from Sehun. Does it sound good?”
“No it doesn’t sounds good,” Sehun mumbled.
“How about Luhan? Or HunNa?”
The clone returned to rubbing his cheek against his palm at that point.
“Luhan! I will named you Luhan.” Sehun exclaimed in triumph.
“Luhan,” the cloning repeated once again.
“Yes, Luhan. Han from Hana. Because you’re the first cloning that ever come to life in this world. Do you like it?”
“Like it?” Luhan copied again.
Sehun laughed, tilting Luhan's head upwards. Damn, he was so beautiful.
“Repeat after me. My name is Luhan, I’m a cloning created by my owner, Oh Sehun. Luhan is Oh Sehun’s first cloning,” Sehun said as he kept an eye on Luhan. It was just last night his cloning was alive, and this morning his cloning opened his eyes, but Sehun was already captivated, he liked to see those pretty brown eyes that was staring back at him
“Luhan is Oh Sehun’s,” Luhan repeating the few words he remembered. Sehun laughed at that, “Yes, You are mine.”
***
Sehun found that Luhan was really genius, his intelligence surpassed the normal human's ability. He learnt fast. He learned to read, write and speak in just two days, and to eat within 4 minutes. Luhan had a beautiful voice, so Sehun had no problem listening to Luhan blabbering nonstop about everything after he finished his book.
Luhan’s favorite book is Snow White. He asked Sehun about anything all the time when found the time to read the book for him.
“Why the witch is so mean?”
“What’s Snow white doing wondering alone in the wood?”
“Sehun, can I meet the dwarfs?”
“Why the prince need to kiss her to wake her up?”
Sehun patiently answered the innocent questions from Luhan. And Luhan listened to each responses well, golden locks bobbing while he was nodding his head.
Then the last question from Luhan before he slept shocked Sehun.
“Sehun, can you kiss me to wake me up?”
Luhan also like hugs, Sehun noticed. He would sleep if Sehun hugged him. When he woke up, he would hug Sehun and chirped ‘Good Morning!’ cutely. When he cried in pain, like when Sehun tattooed Luhan’s code ,345N, at the back of his neck, Sehun had to hold him tight to calm him down. Sehun didn’t hate that side of Luhan. It amused him because his wife was not that clingy and childish. Even though the clone was supposed to be exactly like her, Luhan turned out to be totally different from her.
It was not like Sehun hated it. It was just different. Different in good and lovable way for Sehun.
***
Sehun only told Chanyeol about the successful cloning He didn't want to tell the director yet. He was afraid that the director would take Luhan away for the experiments, the test for lab research, something Luhan wasn't ready to take yet. The fact that Luhan was still crying over something like his elbow hitting the door remind Sehun that the lab research was no game.
Chanyeol visited him often, and Luhan steadily grew closer to Chanyeol. Chanyeol was a child at heart as well, so he liked to play with Luhan. And Luhan liked to hug Chanyeol (which was now forbidden by Sehun for a ‘safety reasons’) too because Chanyeol was so big and tall like a tree.
One day Luhan suddenly act indifferently toward him. He suddenly ask for his own bedroom, stopped clinging to Sehun, stopped whining whenever Sehun said he need to work on the basement, he suddenly keep a distance with Sehun. He looked so rigid, and often stole a nervous glances toward his creator and was careful not to make any skin contact. Which was really a one-eighty degree turn from his usual behavior.
But the fact that he still needed Sehun’s presence to sleep -sneaking to Sehun’s room every night and curl close to Sehun's body- put Sehun in ease.
Not long after that Chanyeol, Luhan’s partner in crime, came for visit. Sehun was not in ease any longer. Luhan ran toward Chanyeol and jump into Chanyeol hug makes Sehun cringe. He pulled Chanyeol to his room and let flustered Sehun alone in the living room. Luhan still keep the distance between him and Sehun but he seems closer to Chanyeol. Luhan always whispering something to Chanyeol, after that Chanyeol will smile smugly to Sehun and Sehun really confused. Chanyeol and Luhan spend their time in Luhan’s room most of the time, ‘Playing and sharing a secret between BFF’ Chanyeol said and Sehun really confused and pissed.
“Something is wrong with Luhan,” Chanyeol said calmly when he help Sehun to make a dinner in the kitchen.
Sehun widen his eyes, panic written all over his face “Really? W-wrong like? Does he do something unusual?!”
Chanyeol chuckle, “Not like that. It’s just wrong in the good way.”
“What do you mean by that?” Sehun ask, sometimes he doesn’t understand Chanyeol at all. He’s weird and all but he still Sehun’s best friend.
“Why don’t you ask Luhan by yourself?” Chanyeol suggested.
“Well i will asked him if he stop avoiding me,” Sehun said while cutting the tomato (Luhan’s favorite) a bit too harsh.
“He has his own reason why he avoid you. The dinner is ready why don’t you wake little lulu up from his nap?”
“Stop calling him that,” Sehun said, sharp eyes piercing into Chanyeol.
“Why? It’s my nickname for him!”
“Luhan is my clone,” Sehun said sternly and threw a napkin to Chanyeol, “Not yours.”
Chanyeol chuckle and it makes Sehun more annoyed than he did before. He roll his eyes before he leave to woke Luhan up.
Sehun open the door of Luhan’s room slowly. The boy sleeping peacefully on his bed. He tuck his hand under his head. He’s snoring cutely and his pink lips parted slightly.
“Lu, wake up.” Sehun said, shaking Luhan’s body slowly.
Luhan furrowed his eyebrows and mumbling incoherently.
Sehun smile then ruffle Luhan’s hair, “Luhan wake up. The dinner is ready. I slice a plate of tomatoes for you.”
Luhan slowly open his eyes. He’s blinking a few more times before he’s fully awake. His doe-eyes notice Sehun’s presence and to Sehun surprise, Luhan’s flinching and snap Sehun’s hand away.
“What’s wrong?” Sehun asked dejectedly.
“No-nothing!” Luhan said nervously as he clutch his chest tighter.
“Luhan don’t do that, your shirt will be wrinkled if you clutch it hard. It will looks ugly.”
Luhan -as always-- did what Sehun told but keep sitting stiffly on the other side of his bed.
“Why would you sit so far away from me? You always do this these days, you even stop sleeping with me and ask for your own room.” Sehun said, “Why would you avoid me? Did i do something wrong?”
Luhan pout sadly and he avoids Sehun’s eyes because his heart do that fast beating again.
“I feel weird when I'm with you,” Luhan confess, “There’s a weird feeling in my chest. There’s a loud and fast thumping in my chest whenever you’re close to me. When you touch and hug me, I feel so warm and my cheeks feels like burning. It’s weird but i always want to be with you, it's frightening.”
Sehun listen calmly while Luhan was fidgeting on his seat. Luhan was contemplating between whether he should tell Sehun what Chanyeol told him earlier or not.
“And Chanyeol said-”
“Chanyeol said?”
Luhan gulped, “I-it’s called Love.”
An awkward silence settled thickly between the two. Luhan regretted his decision ever said about ‘Love’ in front of Sehun. Luhan knew what love was. It’s always mentioned in the fairytales he read before bedtime. Cinderella and Prince Charming love each other, Snow White and the Prince love each other too- they even kissed! Love is a mutual feeling that felt by two people for making a happily ever after ending in a story. And Chanyeol said, love could be felt by only one person too,it can be not mutual, but it’s feel hurt, more painful than the tattoo Sehun’s draw on his neck.
The sound of Sehun’s bellowing laugh was what pulled Luhan from his roving thoughts. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. Was love seen as something funny too?
“Well, it might be true. That’s how you feel when you’re fall in love. It’s like there’s a butterfly in your tummy when someone smile at you. The thumping sound -which is called a heartbeat- that beating faster when someone you love close. The longing you feel when they’re away from you.”
True, Luhan felt it too. What Sehun said is right. Luhan always feel there’s something flutter in his tummy whenever Sehun smile and touch him lovingly. He always sad and need Sehun to comeback quickly whenever Sehun lock himself in the basement when he was working.
Sehun indeed a genius man. Luhan conclude, Sehun is better than prince charming on the book. He was handsome, kind and smart. Luhan like him more.
“S-so that means, Luhan loves Sehun?”
Sehun smiled and sit closer to Luhan, “Maybe, maybe you love me.”
“Then, does Sehun love Luhan too?”
Sehun laugh and pull Luhan into his embrace, “Of course Sehun Love you, Luhan is his creation. Luhan is his.”
Luhan should be happy because Sehun has a mutual feeling for him. But he feels weird and flustered instead because the heart beat inside Sehun’s chest beat normally. Doesn’t someone in love have a fast heart beat like him? Sehun said he loves him but why Luhan feels his love is so hurtful? The pain in his chest is like the hot ink that Sehun scribble on his neck.
***
After Luhan confess his feeling to Sehun, its Sehun turns to make a distance between them. Actually when Luhan confess to him, Sehun was surprised because what he do actually developed a feeling on his Cloning. He shouldn’t been so close to Luhan from the beginning.
He hopes Luhan just confused between love and attraction. Because Sehun already has a wife and he didn’t want his clone feels something bad like broken heart.
He was no longer hug Luhan and avoid Luhan’s hug. After Luhan’s learning session, Sehun will be going straight to his lab doing something Luhan doesn’t know. He will going upstairs right after Luhan sleep.
Sehun should remember that Luhan is smart. Of course Luhan know something must be up. That's why, one night, he wait Sehun to comeback from the basement. After he yawns for a several times, He heard the door to basement stairs opened and he heard Sehun’s step.
Luhan’s heard a faint voice of a door closed. He wakes up and walking out from his room. Going to Sehun’s bedroom in the end of the corridor.
“Sehun? Are you awake?” Luhan peek at Sehun’s room not waiting for Sehun to let him in (sort of habit, because every night he will creep to Sehun’s room and sleep close to Sehun's warm body).
“Hey Luhan,” Sehun who’s still awake and now reading a book asked, “What’s wrong?”
Luhan hesitantly walk to Sehun and sit on the bed beside Sehun, “Are you mad at me?”
Sehun furrowed his eyebrows, “No.”
“Then why don’t you let Luhan hug you anymore?” Luhan bit his lips.
“I’m not mad, Luhan. I-”
“Is it because Luhan loves you?”
Luhan finally let his tears fall. He knows Loving Sehun was wrong from the beginning. If loving Sehun means lost Sehun’s presence and hug, he shouldn’t love Sehun at all.
“I’m sorry Sehun. I promise I won’t love you anymore. B-but please-”
“What are you talking about Luhan? It’s not because you love me.” Sehun hug Luhan, “I’m sorry i make you confused. Sehun loves you. It’s Just-”
“Just what?” Luhan tilt his head to face Sehun.
“It’s just I'm-” Luhan blink his tears away as he waits for Sehun’s next words. Sehun who keep looking on Luhan just realize on how innocent Luhan was, he has no heart to tell Luhan the truth. The bitter truth that can broke his clone sweet heart.
Sehun sigh then cup Luhan’s cheek, “I’m just too busy to play with you last time. Sehun is sorry alright? I promise I will spend my whole day with you tomorrow.”
“P-promise?” Luhan hiccup.
Sehun then peck Luhan’s nose, “Promise.”
“So now, can Luhan sleep with Sehun?”
Sehun nodded and Luhan quickly jump into the duvet and giggling cutely, “This is so warm! I like sleeping with Sehun the best!”
Sehun laugh then crawl beside Luhan and sit there, “Sleep Luhan, I need to done my work first.”
“But Luhan didn’t want to sleep if Sehun didn’t sleep!” Luhan pout cutely.
“But I have work to do.”
“Then can Luhan watch Sehun work? Luhan won’t disturb Sehun.”
Sehun let out a sigh and finally nodded.
Luhan smile brightly then sat beside Sehun and lean his head on Sehun shoulder, “Sehun is so warm. Luhan like warm.”
Luhan yawns, “Luhan like Sehun.”
“Luhan loves Sehun. Very much.”
Luhan fell asleep after that. His Head lulling back and forth on Sehun shoulder. Sehun finally put his journal on the desk and circled his arms around Luhan’s shoulder. Luhan nuzzled his face on the crook of Sehun’s neck.
“Sehun likes Luhan too,” Sehun said as he caress Luhan’s fluffy hair, “Sehun like Luhan so much and he lo-”
His phone ringing on the desk. He picked up and quickly answer the phone.
“Hello?”
“Hello Mr. Oh? I have a good news for you. Your wife is finally awake.”
Part 2
