Chapter 33

The Arranged Marriage.

When I returned to class my mind still wasn't fully organised. Confused by Sehun's words I slowly made my way to class (which I was incredibly late for) whilst my mind was left outside. When I quietly walked in the professor didn't even give me the time of day. I don't even think she noticed me, because if she did then she was incredibly good at hiding it. Instinctively I searched for Kai. When I finally saw him he was surrounded by a few girls whose faces glowed as if it was Christmas morning. I would have laughed. He sure was popular with the ladies. Kai quickly turned in my direction as I shut the door. His eyes were mixed with all sorts of emotions. Curiosity, sadness and apology. I knew what he was tyring to say. "Sorry, I couldn't save you a seat." I also knew his eyes wanted to ask me, "are you okay? What did he say? What did he do?" I knew him well. I gave him a reasurring smile before chosing a seat not too far from the entrance, a row behind Kai.

Sitting down silently I didn't even bother to pay attention to what the professor was saying. Usually I wouldn't have bothered to show up, but for some reason it felt as if I should turn up. For Kai, at least. And for some strange reason I felt an unfamiliar and uncomfortable pang in my chest when I saw him surrounded by girls. I don't know why. It's not as if I had any business in his private affairs. Could I perhaps be jealous? Nonsense, I told myself. I had no reason to be jealous. We weren't dating. My own thoughts made me blush and I quickly pushed them out of my mind.

Unfortunately thought's of Kai were only replaced with thought's of Sehun. That jerk. That bad, horrible boy! Who did he think he was? Who did he think was? How dare him, to make my mind blur and confuse my senses. The thoughts of him would twist my heart, wringing it of any direction it had. Why did he have to appear in my life? All he did was give me a headache. One minute he was the boy I detested. An abnoxious, arrogant rich boy. The next he was a gentle, wounded and lost boy who seemed to follow me like a duckling. Sometimes I even thought he genually cared, but then he'd suddenly change and become a heartless snob once more. Perhaps he was bipolar. For example I knew that after this afternoon, he would return to being cold, despite the promise he had made.

Suddenly I realised I was still wearing his scarf. I clutched it, ready to pull it away from around my neck. But for some reason I couldn't bring myself to do it. The citrusy smell of him made me stop. Unintentionally I took a deep breath, closing my eyes and resting my head against the wall. I couldn't help but think that, despite everything he'd done in the past, perhaps there was something more to Sehun. Something that, as much as I hated to admit it, would make me love him just like he had promised me I would. Instantly I dragged myself away from my thoughts, quickly opening my eyes. What was I thinking? Never, never would I ever love Oh Sehun. I quickly pulled the scarf away from around my neck and stuffed it into my bag. Instantly I felt it's warmth leave me to be replaced by the stale air of the classroom. I kind of felt lonely without it wrapped around my kneck or without Jongin by my side. At the thought of him I turned to look for Kai. The sight of him smiling at one of the girls next to him as she whispered something to him made my heart rip itself apart. Like he could sense my gaze he looked up to meet my eyes, but I quickly looked away before I would most likely embarras myself. Why was I acting like this? Why was the thought of them both sending my stomach and mind into a whirlwind? I swallowed the lump in my throat and forced myself to pay attention to the professor, but when that proved to be too hard I settled for resting my head on my arms and sleeping in class. Just like highschool, I thought to myself with a faint smile.

Luckily for me Kai didn't ask me a single thing about my talk with Sehun. I couldn't even begin to explain how grateful I was towards him. At lunch we sat with Tao and another one of Kai's friends. His name was Luhan. I thought Luhan seemed quite cute. He had an accent as he was from China. He had big dooey eyes and smooth, milky skin. He looked like a tall child. I couuld tell that he was a definite target with the girls. "Jessica-ssi. Anneyonghaseyo. I'm Luhan. I hope we can be good friends. I've heard alot about you" he bowed politely whilst Kai sent him a warning glare. I couldn't help but smile and return his bow. "Yes, nice to meet you" I said.

"Jess-ssi, I want to sit next to you. Huh? Please?" Tao suddenly said, hugging my arm whilst bumping Kai out of the way. I giggled and let him drag me to the side of a table. Kai frowned at him and hit the back of his head. "Aigoo, you clingy freak" Kai teased before taking a seat. Luhan sat down beside him, leaving a spare seat at the end of the table. "Jess-ssi, are you feeling well? You don't have much to eat today" Tao said with concern, frowning cutely. That face definately made girls hearts melt. Before I could answer there was a loud bang near us.

"Yah, move aside!" Chanyeol yelled at Chen. They were racing to our table, probably aiming for the only spare seat. "Go somewhere else you giant!" Chen yelled at him, reaching the seat first. Just as he was about to sit down Chanyeol shoved him aside, making Chen stumble into Luhan. "Yah, fool, call me that again and see what happens" Chanyeol warned him. Chen stuck his tongue out at him. "Yah unfair! I got there first" Chen whined. The three boys that were already sat down sniggered and watched the scene with amusement and slight boredom. Something told me this happened often. "Too bad" Chanyeol said, stealing a chip (or fries depending on where you're from) from Luhan's plate. "Yah, feed yourself you dummy" Luhan snapped, moving his plate away. Chanyeol snickered. "I am" he answered back. Luhan shot him a glare. "I meant with your own food. It's about time you stopped leeching off of people" Luhan teased. Chanyeol tsked at him and made for another chip but Luhan swiftly moved it away, causing Chanyeol to bang his chin on the table in a desperate attempt for food. I giggled, watching them with amusement. they never failed to make me smile. I wondered how someone as cold as Sehun could be friends with a bunch of such warm people.

"Fine then. If you won't move I have no other choice" Chen finally said. To my surprise he walked up to Chanyeol and sat on his lap. I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Opposite me Kai smiled, but I was sure he wasn't looking at the two boys. "Fine. Sit there. We'll see who lasts" Chanyeol challened. Already there was regret on both of the boys faces.

"Jess-ssi! Wah, you've seemed to have gotten prettier over night" Chanyeol complimented me, flashing a charming smile. Kai rolled his eyes whilst Tao threw his arm around my shoulders. "Back off Chanyeol. She's taken" Tao said teasingly. Chanyeol raised an eyebrow whilst Chen laughed, clapping his hands. "Yeah but not by you" Chanyeol snapped, making Tao throw a chip at him. Chanyeol was about to catch it cleanly in his mouth until Chen flicked it away from it's course. I frowned slightly. I knew that they were refering to me and Sehun.

Suddenly Luhan's face brightened up. "Oh there's Sehun." Luhan said, smiling. I turned to see Sehun walking carelessly down the ailse, a carton of juice in his hand. The girls around us all seemed to sigh softly. I cringed, but otherwise my heart was on barb wire. What would happen? How would I feel, with both boys being there? Infact, how would they react with being near eachother? "Sehun!" Luhan called his name. Sehun looked up at our table. For a split seocnd our gaze's met. I felt my cheeks heat up and I quickly looked away. Kai held my gaze and for some reaosn I felt calmer.

Sehun approached us and glanced at Chen sitting on Chanyeol's lap. Chen quickly hopped off and rubbed the back of his neck uncomfortably. Sehun smirked at them. "Hyung, is there something going on?" he asked the two boys. Chanyeol tsked at him. "Yah, shut up and don't misunderstand. It was Chen's fault" Chanyeol said childlishly, folding his arms. Chen opened his mouth to protest but Chanyeol quickly stuffed a bread bun into his mouth before he could make a sound. Sehun snickered before turning to the rest of us. I tried not to look up, but couldn't bring myself to meet Kai's gaze either. "Hello hyungs. Ji Yoon-ie" he greeted us. I turned to him with wide eyes, slightly surprised and pissed. That annoying jerk!

I also noticed that Jongin and Sehun were both avoiding eachothers gaze. It made the atmosphere uncomfortable. At least, it did for me. The boy's were probably used to it. "Sehun! Tell me, does this hat look good on me?" Tao asked. For a brief moment Sehun's eyes fell upon Tao's arm which was still hung around my shoulders. I looked away before i'd end up meeting his eyes, but I thoguht I saw a saprk flash across his face. Was it perhaps jealousy? Nonsense. Jongin was staring blankly at his plate of half eaten food. "Yah, how many hats do you need? They'll make you go bald you know" Sehun teased. Tao frowned and his hand flew to his head. "Yah, why say such things?! I'll never go bald" Tao yelled at him before returning to his food in a strop. The boys chuckled, except for Jongin.

"Sehun, are you getting a seat?" Luhan asked. Just then I couldn't take it anymore and I allowed myself to look up. Instantly I met Sehun's gaze. His eyes were like milk chocolate, not too hard but not soft. We stared at eachother for a couple of seconds before looking away at the same time. "No, I only came by for a drink. I'll be leaving now" Sehun said, bowing politely. We exchanged one short glance before he walked away. I couldn't help but stare at his retreating figure until it dissapeared. Why was my heart suffocating when I was with Jongin, but doing the same thing and wounding itself around Sehun? Shouldn't it be just one of them? Couldn't it be neither?!

At the end of the day I said goodbye to Kai. We only had one class after lunch on Friday's. Jongin was going to visit his father, so we couldn't go together today. Walking alone I made my way to the car park, ready to phone the driver to come get me. Suddenly I felt a presence besides me. I looked up to see Sehun standing there rather awkwardly, his eyes flickering everywhere but at my face. "Come home with me" he said. His voice was offhand and bland. "No, it's okay" I said, turning to walk away. As I took the first step Sehun wrapped his hand around my wrist and tugged me back. I stumbled into his shoulder. "I'm asking nicely, and only this once" he said, finally looking at me. Like I had predicted his eyes were cold and hard once again. They were one of the reasons I didn't want to be alone with Sehun. "I said I'm fine" I muttered, though I sounded half hearted. Sehun sighed. "So stubborn" he muttered under his breath before pulling me behind him. "Yah, let go!" I yelled, getting frustrated. Why wouldn't he leave me alone? He was already making my heart and head feel funny. Finally we approached a silver four by four Land Rover. It was a nice car. Of course. He opened the door and finally let go of my wrist. My skin felt weird with the absence of his warmth. I scolded myself. Again, what was I thinking?! "Get in" Sehun instructed. I pursed my lips and looked hesitantly inside the car. After a few seconds Sehun sighed. Suddenly I felt his warm hands around my waist. Before I had time to react he had already pulled me into the car. "Strap yourself in" he instructed. I opened my mouth to protest but he shut the door before I had the chance to say something. Honestly I was kind of relieved I wouldn't have to protest. Perhaps a part of me was happy that I got to ride home with him. My future husband.

A/N-Anneyong! So I hope you enjoyed this chapter and that it was better than the last one. Like I said the last one wasn't eventful but I needed to cover some points about Sehun. I hope this one however satisfied your needs. Just a small announcement, I'm thinking about starting a new story! It's going to be called Flower Boy Fighter and again it will star Sehun as the main character, along with the rest of Exo. It's going to be set in highschool, so obviously the ages aren't going to be correct. I'm also not sure how the boys look exactly right now (hairstyle wise), so apologies if you're someone who likes the characters to be the same in the story as they are in real life. Also the fanfic will have cameo's of other k-pop groups. It won't be updated regularily just yet because I want to get further with this fanfic, so right now it will only have a brief and the list of characters. I hope you check it out and suscribe if you're interested. Also leave a comment (about this story, or maybe the new one if you'd like) and don't forget to suscribe if you haven't already done so!
