"Leave me alone!" I yelled at him, but my voice was drowned out by the surrounding noise from the hundreds of people passing by.

Without looking back I already knew that he was still following me, fighting his way through the current of people. His protests could be heard in my ears but I continued to ignore him. 

"Yah, stop there!" he yelled, reaching out to grab my shoulder. His fingers brushed past my jacket before he was swallowed by the endless flow of people. I smiled to my self.

Finally, he was gone! Peace and quiet at last! 

I'm not going to deny it, it did amuse me to have him chasing after me like a headless chicken, only to be ignored and disspaointed. Just a bit of revenge for having annoyed me so much in the past. What can I say? I was a little evil.

Finally reaching the top of the stairs and arriving on the second floor, I went into the first store I saw. It was a clothing store, and luckily it didn't look as outdated as the previous store I had visited had. 

My breathing was a little heavy after escaping from him on the stairs, but I managed to look as casual and collected I could as I walked around the store. Again I could feel the assistant's gaze burning into my head, but she didn't approach me. Which was good. I disliked being pestered when I shopped, especially from part timers who clearly had no idea what they were talking about. Yes I disliked fashion, but given what my family did for a living it was only natural for me to know about fashion as if it was my second language. 

Not bragging or anything...

Slightly bored I began pulling aside tops, trying to look for something that was more...less shiny? That would be good.

And then suddenly a pair of warm arms wrapped themselves around my shoulders, not allowing me to turn around and see who the person was that was touching me without permission. But from the familiar scent I could already guess who it was.

"Yah, let go" I snapped at him under my breath. I didn't bother keeping my expression pleasent encase the assistant saw. Who cares what she thinks anyway? 

He chuckled in my ear, resting his chin on my shoulder and his soft hair tickling my cheek. Once again I found my heart beating weirdly, loud in my ears. I must have been more tired than I had thought.

"I don't want to" he sang, swaying me side to side a little. However I was having none of it and stood as stiff as a statue until he stopped.

"Have you finished?" I said curtly when we were standing still again. He laughed lightly and nodded his head.

Knowing he wouldn't listen to my intructiuons if I told him to let me go, I decided to stamp on his foot instead. He deinately listened then.

"Ow! Yah!" he yelped in pain, finally releasing me and hopping back to examine his now injured toe. I gave him a fake, unsympathetic frown and looked around the store. The assistant was looking our way again, and her eagle eyes caught sight of Sehun withering in pain. 

And what do you know, she was on her way towards us. Wow.

I didn't see her coming over when there was no handsome boy standing next to me.

"Can I help you?" she asked pleasently, 'innocently' tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and blinking at Sehun with those wide eyes. Ha, I know plastic surgery when I see it, and she had defiantely had it done. No way was her eye naturally double the size of her nose. That's right, just that single eye. She was definately a dangerous one, capturing boys with her innocent looks.

I made a face, but she wasn't looking at me. She was staring at Sehun. Lucky for her. I wondered if I should let her have him. She would seem to be more than glad to take him off my hands and marry him. Anyone else? I'll put him up on sale for you.

Not saying this with any bitterness of course...because I wasn't the jealoous type. Especially not over Sehun.

I wasn't.

Slightly annoyed by her presence I walked away, brushing against her shoulder.

"Yah, Moon Jiyoon!" Sehun called, following after me and abandoning the shopping assistant. I sneaked a glance at her expression. Rejected. Why did that make me smile?

At the sound of my name I stopped walking and turned around harshly. It was that fast that even Sehun jumped in surprise. I guess he thought I would hit him because he flinched away, not that I wouldn't. I was close.

"Yah, what have I told you about that name?" I hissed at him. When he had recovered form his surprise he smirked at me.

Oh god. The smirks back. Someone save me.

I beg of you.

Clicking my tongue at him in annoyance I began to walk away again. In my opinion I was going pretty fast, but Sehun simply skipped to my side as if it was nothing. That annoying brat.

"Yah, stop following me!"I snapped at him. A nearby ahjumma shot us a dirt look, mainly directed at me. Jeez. Sorry.

Sehun simply smiled widely at me in innocence before smirking again. "I can do whatever I want here. This mall is owned by my family" he said, raising an eyebrow as if to challenge me.

I opened my mouth to retaliate but all that came out was air.

He had a point.

Now I felt annoyed. He was so annoying. Someone please come take him away!

I snapped my jaw shut and began walking away again. Admittedly I wasn't completely watching where I was going. Sehun's presence was once again distracting me. And I had a tendancy to be careless, especially when I was walking. Since I was little I had expected people to mind me and get out of my way, so I guess it had becaome a habit of mine.

But my sanity would have to pay for it greatly in the near future, because just at that moment I stormed into a man who seemed to be walking just as fast as I was. Because I was small in build the force easily sent me wobbling, and in surprise I was unable to regain my balance.

Oh no, I was going to fall and end up face first on the ground. 

In. Public.

But I didn't. Just as I came plummeting to my doom, something strong wrapped itself around my waist and stopped me in the air. I blinked in surprise and looked up to see Sehun. He was frowning. Thankfully, he wasn't smirking. I felt a little less embarrassed because of this. 

He pulled me back to my feet, and I could feel my ears redden when I realised he still hadn't let me out of his grasp, and I was stood on his toes with his arms wrapped around my waist.

And his face was close.

Very close.

Reflexively I pulled away a little, but I couldn't go far because his arms were stopping me.

"Yah, will you watch where you're going! You could have hurt yourself!" he snapped. His tone made me flinch, and was that...worry I had heard? Was Sehun concerned about whether I hurt myself or not? The thought made me feel a little bit happy. 

Wait. What am I thinking? 

No it didn't.

Infact, who was Sehun to order me around?! He didn't have the same rights as a real husband.

He wasn't a real husband, right?

He was someone I was being forced to marry.

A real husband's someone you love, or even like. I didn't like Sehun, right?

The fact that I had to think about that was making me question my sanity.

Slightly annoyed by the path my thoughts had suddenly taken I harshly pulled Sehun's arms away and stepped away from him. Even he looked a little confused, as if he wasn't sure what to do. 

Biting my lip, I turned around and began to walk once more. And once more he easily fell into step besides me.

This was so not the relaxed day I had planned.

"Let me go shopping with you, huh?" he suddenly pleaded, seemingly back to his usual and annoying self.

"Why do you want to follow me around? Go bug Chanyeol or something" I moaned, looking forwards.

Sehun snickered. "Because I...want to spend the day with you. And anyway, Chanyeol hyung would probably kick me out once I begnan to annoy him" he said, his tone lifting up at the end as if he wanted to make a joke to try and hide what he had said to begin with.

Did he really want to spend the day with me? I couldn't help but blush.

And then I scolded myself. I shouldn't blush or feel...well feel anything if he said he wanted to spend the day with me. I shouldn't care. I don't care.

I sighed infrustration and glared at him. He was pouting and blinking adorably. I sighed once more, this time in surrender.

"Fine" I murmered. There was no point in me protesting anymore. He was going to follow me no matter what I said.

Sehun smiled and suddenly wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "Yay, now we're like a real couple" he cheered. His smile seemed a little more real and there was a shine in his eyes. I couldn't help but feel that what he had just said was genuine. And for some reason at that thought there was an uncomfortable pang in my chest. Did I almost feel...sad?

"Yah, don't push your look" I muttered, avoiding eye contact. Sehun's smile dropped slightly but he shrugged anyway. I felt as if I had upset him. Had I hurt his feelings?

Was I really caring about whether I had?

What was wrong with me? I shouldn't care. But I couldn't deny that I did.

Sehun dropped his arm, but stayed by my side. He was still close, his arm constantly brushing by mine until it stayed there. And for some reason, at his touch and his presence, I felt a little happy.

Just a little bit.

A/N~Yay, new chapter! I hoped you liked it! I think Jess kind of sounds a little spoilt and big headed or full of herself in this chapter. But then again, she is rich. I guess I want that to be part of her personality at first. After all, no one's perfect, right? Well, maybe except for Sehun ;) Don't forget to suscribe and comment! 

But seriously, you better comment, or else i'll get Jess on you :P
