Jamie followed the and her little minions to a pretty secluded area of the building, not too far away from cafeteria. What she expected was a slap to the face. What she didn't expect though was next. 

"How dare you hang around Sehun oppa!! You ugly piece of trash!!" 

WHAT.THE.ACTUAL.? 

"Excuse me?" Jamie asked with wide eyes, completely forgot about the earlier slap. 

"First you leeched off Tao oppa. Now you cling onto Sehun oppa. You piece of really don't know your place I see." 

What the heck is ing wrong this girl?! She must have twisted her head in a very wrong way. This is absolutely ridiculous!!

Clenching her fists, Jamie spat. "From what I see, you're the who don't know your place." 

"Do you see anybody go around claiming others to be theirs like you?? You must have knocked your head real hard, falling down and completely ed up your brain." 

Face read from anger, Sarah raised her hand to slap Jamie but was stopped before it made any impact. "Don't make me raise my hands on you instead and keep it to yourself. I can cripple you if I want, just so you know." Jamie warned and threw her hand away with disgust. 

Dusting her clothes, Jamie her heels and left, leaving Sarah fuming with her patch of minions whose faces Jamie didn't even remember. From behind, Sarah screamed like a little but Jamie blocked it all out, knowing she's probably cursing her to death. She really couldn't care less what they wanted. She just hated the unecessary and not so positive attention on her. She knew if being idol it meant you need to stand out of the crowd. But she didn't know if that's what she wanted. She couldn't see herself being surrounded by people who were eager to do nothing but dig into her personal life. Jamie huffed tiredly and turned left.

Just in time, Sehun ran out from the same direction and bumped into her, sucessfully knocking them both onto the ground. 

"Owww~" Both whined after their bums collided with the hard ground. Upon recognizing his victim was infact just the person he's looking for, Sehun quickly stood up and pulled Jamie to her feet. 

"Are you okay?" Sehun asked as he checked for any sign of injury. 

"I was until you bumped into me and nearly bruise my ." Jamie mused and rubbed her sore bum. 

Sehun chuckled but stopped when he spotted the red hand mark on Jamie's left cheek. "Did she hit you?!" 

"Oh yea she did." Jamie replied nonchalantly and touched the red area, frowning when it stung a little. "Surprisingly that hurts." 

"Yea yea surprise." Sehun rolled his eyes, removing her hand and examined the spot. "Your whole cheek is red. Let's go to the infirmary." 

"No! Are you stupid? Something as small as this doesn't need medical care. It'll heal soon enough." Jamie snorted and yanked her hand away from the boy's grip but he's a stubborn brat. 

"Yah! Let me go."

"No. We're going to the infirmary." 

"No we are not!! Let me go Oh Sehun!!!" Jamie wailed and tried to pull herself away but to no avail. 

She decided to pout and whine like a little child, hoping for the boy to let go. "Can't you see it completely unnecessary~ It just a small swell. I'll be fine!" 

Sehun's eyes widened at the cute gesture. He gulped mentally because Jamie didn't just use aegyo on him!! 

ASDFGHJKLFGHJKLASDFGHJKL!!!!! Relax, relax. Take aaaaaaaaaa deeeeppp breath~ Look at the problem at hand!!! You could do it!! RESIST RESIST~

Swallowed hard,  Sehun straightened his back, tightened his grip on both of her hands, and hardened his poker face. He couldn't let his resolve fallen at the sight of aegyo. "No you are not. We're going to the infirmary and that's final."

The boy then proceeded to manhandle Jamie to the infirmary, literally pulling her along the corridor despite her never ending protest. Jamie did thrashed around once or twice, or tried to bite Sehun's hands more than twice, the boy still managed to dragged her to the infirmary.

Upon arriving, the duo discovered they're not alone. 

"Sunbae!" Jamie exclaimed gleefully as she half-ran to the older boy, not noticing how Sehun's grasp on her had loosen at Tao's appearance. 

"Oh kitten. What are you doing here?" Tao asked all-smiley but the next second widened his eyes in worry. "Are you hurt?!" He exclaimed and immediately searched for possibly injury. 

"I'm not but this brat here insisted on bringing me here. I honestly don't see the point." Jamie sighed and crossed her arms. 

Tried to ignore his own discomfort, Sehun looked straight at Tao. "She got a swollen cheek. You know where is the ice pack hyung?" 

Tao nodded before heading towards the the small fridge in a hidden corner of the infirmary, pulling out exactly what the younger needed. He handed Sehun the ice pack and the boy thanked his hyung as he forced Jamie to sit down on one of the stools. 

"I already said I don't need medical care stubborn mushroom poop head." 

"Yea yea whatever. Now turn sideways." Sehun ordered which Jamie reluctantly complied. 

Jamie hissed as the cold pack made an impact on her skin. "That's cold!"

"Yes it it Captain Obvious." Sehun clicked his tongue, earning a glare from the petite girl. 

Turning her attention to Tao, Jamie wondered why her sunbae was here in the first place. "Sunbae? Why are you here then? Are you hurt anywhere?" 

As soon as the question was asked, Sehun's eyebrows twitched annoyingly at her sweet voice, jealously boiling at the pit of his stomach. 

"I bruised the right side of my waist during wushu practice. Just came in for some salonpas." Tao said as he pulled up his shirt, exposing the white pad underneath pasted onto his copper tinted skin. 

Jamie blushed upon seeing her crush bare waist. Oh how she wanted to wrap her arms around that defined curve. Realizing how erted that sounded, Jamie hit herself mentally and groaned. Stop looking, stop looking ... STOP LOOOOKINGGG!!!!

Sehun bit his bottom lip as Jamie continued to blush, trying to avert her eyes away from Tao's waist. The older male was completely oblivious to the duo's suffering, albeit from different reasons. 

When Sehun felt like his heart might explode from jealousy, he ordered Jamie to hold the ice pack by herself and excused himself, saying he had an appointment with someone which was a complete lie. 

"Yah! Where are you going?!" Jamie shouted after Sehun but the boy refused to turn back. When Sehun was out of sight, Jamie clicked her tongue in exasperation. "What's up with that brat? First he dragged me here and now leave with the crappiest reason his brain could rack off."

Tao looked at the extremely annoyed girl and chuckled. "He must be in quite a hurry." 

"Hurry my ." Jamie scoffed. "Probably just being a ing jerk he always is. He likes to ditch me for no reason. From what I see, leaving me hanging is his form of entertainment." 

Tao smiled but it didn't quite reach his eyes. He sensed the difference. He really did. The way Sehun looked at the purple haired girl, the way he touched her, the way he spoke to her, the way he smiled at her; they all changed. His eyes, his smile, his words, his touch were all so genuine, radiating with warmth and love.

Our maknae is having a crush. And on no one other than the girl he claimed to hate with a passion. 

Tao grinded his bottom lip between his teeth. He felt worried, a little panicky and not very settling. To sum it up, he didn't feel very good. 

"I see you've been hanging out with Sehun quite often these days." Tao commented, trying to sound as casual as possible. 

"Well we're not exactly hanging out. Sehun is helping me with dancing. My limbs wouldn't move how I want them to so... yea." Jamie lowered her head in embarrassment. She didn't want Tao to know about her non existent dance skills. It's extremely shameful, especially in front of someone you want to impress.

Tao laughed lightly at the girl's shyness. She really doesn't like receiving help from others. 

"I told you it's okay to ask for help didn't I? Nobody is perfect and if dancing isn't your strong point, it's okay because nobody could be good at everything." 

Jamie smiled as Tao patted her head in comfort. "Thank you for the encouragement sunbae." 

"No prob kitty. You can tell me everything you know." 

Jamie flinched upon hearing the word. Everything he said. Is this an indication that he knows I like him?

She hoped not. 

Sehun stomped his feet every single step he took. Damn Tao hyung and his obliviousness. Damn Jamie and her all-so-obvious crush on his hyung. Damn that cute cat like smile. Damn that cute small eyes. Damn that amazing voice. Damn that awkward turtle dancing. Damn everything. 

The brunett ruffled his hair furiously and grunted in frustrations. The real him was starting to surface and once he noticed, Sehun neutralized his face in a flash, sporting at infamous pocker face. Smelling the coffee aroma, he followed the scent and soon found himself at the table at some coffee shop which name he couldn’t remember. Heck he didn’t know how he get to the table without getting an injury or two.

“Customer, what can I get you?” A young waiter smiled down at the blank boy, notes ready in his hand.

Sehun snapped out of his reverie at the rough low voice. When he realized he had to order something, he flipped through the menu, skipping the whole coffee section. Coffee is not his style. He’s more of a sweets guy. Sehun suddenly remember something Jamie told him last week though and decided to maybe try something new.

“What do you like to eat?” Sehun asked out of nowhere after their dance tutor section.

Jamie raised any eyebrow at his randomness. “Why all of a sudden?”

“Curious.” He shrugged.

Jamie rolled her eyes but answered anyways. “I’m not much of a picky eater but I hate tomato and eggplant. They’re disgusting.” Sehun chuckled as Jamie stuck out her tongue and scrunched up her face at the mention of the two veggies.

“How about drinks?”

“Bubble tea of course.” Jamie grinned. “Ah! You could add tapioca pearls to the list of things I like to eat as well~” She laughed wholeheartedly while Sehun couldn’t help but laugh along.

“Tapioca pearls... Right. I’ll take note.”

“I like coffee too. Especially mocha. Once I kinda overdose though and got my whole face pimpled. Not a pretty sight.” Sehun chortled when she particularly shuddered at the unpleasant memory.

“Must have been really not pretty.” He commented, earning a hard punch to his biceps.

“.”

“I’ll have a ice blended mocha.” He said, pointing at the picture of the unhealthy but delicious beverage with whipped cream and caramel sauce dribbled on top.

“Anything else, customer-nim?”

“Do this actually come out like this?” Sehun titled his head in question.

“Actually no. The toppings are optional and separated from the drink. If you like, I could bring out your order, exactly the same.”

“What kind of toppings do we have?”

The kind waiter smiled and flipped to the last page. “Here. This is originally for our ice cream products but it’s okay to order them with your coffee.”

“I see.” Sehun replied before scanning the varieties of different toppings, colorful to simply black.

Once he saw chcolate, Sehun’s eyes lit up immediately and pointed at the delightful dessert in a childlike manner.

“I’ll get the whipped cream and lots of chocolate syrup on top please.” Sehun beamed.

“Sure thing. I’ll be back shortly with your order.” The waiter smiled kindly and left to prepare the boy’s order, taking the menu with him.

His smile flatered once he realized why he was here in the first place. How lovesick could he get, ordering his crush’s favorite drink. Sehun sighed heavily and sipped on the plain cool water. Instead of stopping, he downed all the water in the small glass and groaned again, thinking about his bahavior early on. She sounded upset, he thought. She must have thought he’s a douchebag, dragging her all the way to the infirmary just to ditch her in the end. He had to apologize later on. But how?

Sorry I left, it was an emergency? That’s pretty bull if you ask me.

Sehun gripped his hair, ready to pull them out. He really hate this situation right now. His jealousy was too obviously showing. Many times he thought about his feelings for the little girl but always hitting a dead end. He somehow wanted her to be aware of his feelings for her but at same time, he wanted to keep it like this. Staying close to her, be there for her when she needed as a friend, a status which was blurry even now. And knowing her apparent affection for his hyung, one way or another, it’s self-destruction. He probably couldn’t handle this heartbreak. No, he knew he couldn’t. It would hurt a whole lot and he may not be able to look at his hyung the same way ever again. He really didn’t want that to happen.

His heart clenched painfully inside his rib cage. His eyes grew glassy because it hurt. So badly as it made him wondered whether first love really worthed all this pain. He wondered if this pain would pass because every single time he saw that love in her eyes, he felt like getting stabbed by several times, when it was directed to someone else but him. He wondered how she would react knowing he had feelings for her. Would she laugh or simply ignored his existence like there was no Oh Sehun in her life to begin with?

He smiled bitterly, staring at the her favorite drink, placed in front of him for some time until he finally noticed it. He took a sip from the straw, less eagerly. Sehun cringed at the bitter taste. He decided coffee really wasn’t his style. It’s not like it didn’t taste good. It did but he just couldn’t enjoy the drink, feeling like crap inside. Maybe the caffeine could cheer him up and Sehun continued drinking with that sole thought in mind. He couldn’t help but think, it was bittersweet. Just like his love for the all so oblivious but beautiful girl.
