Chapter 12

《The Arranged Marriage》

[Ahri's pov] 

 

  I woke up from the sound of the alarm clock.

  As I snuggled against the pillow more, it moved.

  It moved... IT MOVED!  My eyes shot open and I saw that I was sleeping on something. Rather somebody's hard chest.

  I tilted my head upwards and saw Sehun's sleeping face. OH MY GOD!  I screamed in my head as I held my breath to prevent myself from screaming out loud.

  A couple of yoga exercise minutes after, I looked up at Sehun's face. Huh, he's not so annoying while he sleeps. He looks so peaceful and innocent... I thought as my eyes scanned Sehun's face.

  He was totally handsome - long eyelashes that were really rare for other boys I've met, nicely sculpted nose, sharp jawline and pretty plump lips. I wonder if they feel as soft as they look... KIM AHRI! GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!  I screamed in my head once again as my eyes widened.

 "Enjoying the view?" suddenly I heard Sehun's voice and my eyes widened when I saw a smirk forming on his lips.

  He opened his eyes, a mischievous glint in his dark orbs.

 "W-Why a-are y-y-you on the bed?" I stuttered as I tried to sit up, but couldn't because Sehun wrapped his arms around my waist tightly, keeping me in place and I couldn't help but blush madly.

 "I said that we'll have to sleep in the same bed." Sehun said nonchalantly as his hot breath hit my face.

 "When we're married, not now." I mumbled as I tried to get away from Sehun's hold.

 "So you're okay with sleeping in the same bed when we're married?" Sehun asked mockingly and my face got redder, if that was possible.

 "N-N-No.." I stuttered as I tried to free myself from Sehun's hold.

  After a couple of moments of struggling, out of nowhere, Sehun flipped me over so I was on my back on the bed with Sehun hovering above me. I held my breath as Sehun's face was coming closer to mine. And my eyes slowly closed without me noticing.

  But the 'moment' was ruined by Sehun's mocking laugh. My eyes fluttered open and I saw Sehun laughing his socks off. It was my first time seeing him laughing. I couldn't help but admire his playful smile that was playing on his lips.

 "Why are you looking at me like that?" Sehun asked after he calmed down and I finally realized that I have been looking at him for more than necessary.

 "Nothing." I said with a warm smile and pushed Sehun off me. He just looked at me confused as I walked into the bathroom after getting my school uniform from the closet.

  After I was done getting ready for school, it was already 7.23a.m. Ugh.. It's all because of Sehun.. I thought as I got my backpack and phone and headed to the school.

  The day went as usual - boring. As I was walking home from school my phone buzzed. It was a text from Sehun. But his number wasn't saved on my phone using his real name.

 

The arrogant bastard: We need to practice for the talent show. Here's the address - XXXXXXXXXXX. And don't even think about not showing up.

 

  Ugh... I have more important things to do at home, like - nothing. And why is he so eager to practice? Ugh... Whatever, he's such a weird kid.. I thought as I fastened my pace.

  When I was back home, I quickly changed to this, packed a towel and a couple bottles of water in my tote bag and headed to the place were Sehun and I will practice.

  When I finally reached the place, I realized that it was the same grey building I and Sehun came to when he introduced me to EXO.

  As I entered the building, I got a lot of curious stares. Maybe because of my clothes? I don't know nor care. I finally found the EXO practice room, even though it took some time, because the building was like a mase to me.

  I opened the practice room without making any sound. The music was blasting from the iPod dock in the corner of the room while Sehun was moving to the beat. He was wearing a white wife beater, which looked quite good on him and I could see his arm muscles flex as he danced. Okay, I have to admit that Sehun was a great dancer.. And hot... I thought, feeling something in my chest do flip-flops. But, lucky me, my face still remained expressionless.

  I was still standing in the same spot after the song ended and watched as Sehun turned at my direction. At first I could see his face getting red in embarrassment, but then that cocky smirk of his formed on his lips. Oh, how I want to rub it off with my fist.

  Even though we started getting close, I still couldn't stand some things about Sehun.

 "Like what you'd seen?" Sehun asked mockingly as he took a towel and patted his forehead dry.

 "Nope, not really." I lied. Don't get so full of yourself.. I thought as I put my tote on the cream-colored couch, which was next to a wall mounted with floor-length mirrors. Sehun face scrunched up in annoyance. Heh.. I smirked as I re-tied my white Converses. "So what know?" I asked Sehun as he took a seat next to me.

 "I guess we should practice." Sehun answered, now without any cockiness left in his voice.

 "I already learned the steps, what about you?" I said as I got up and walked with my ipod in hand to the iPod dock in the corner of the room.

 "When did you learn them?"

 "Yesterday, by watching the choreography video." I simply answered.

 "How can you do that?" Sehun asked flabbergasted and I just looked at him weirdly, since he was acting out of character.

 "I just do." I answered, purposely boasting. Sehun just rolled his eyes because of my tone.

 "Then show me." Sehun said smirking as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. I smirked, pushed the 'play' button and stood in front of the wall of mirrors.

 

 

[Sehun's pov]

 

 

  I stood with my mouth agape and I'm pretty sure my face was scarlet red while watching Ahri dance to Trouble Maker by Trouble Maker. I had to admit that Ahri was an excellent dancer and - not to mention - definitely y. She looked really hot in those thight shorts. Oh Sehun, get your hormones together!

  And she learned the dance perfectly by only watching the choreography video. That is just impressive!

  After the song ended and she finished dancing, Ahri turned to look at me with a smirk. A y one.

 "Convinced?" she asked with the same y smirk. Even though I didn't want to acknowledge her victory, I just lightly nodded and looked away. Mainly for two reasons, first one being - my face was red as a tomato, second one - I didn't want to see the satisfied look on Ahri's face.

 "Okay, enough playing. Let's practice!" Ahri chirped as I looked at her weirdly. I don't understand her.. I thought while shaking my head and we started practicing.

 

****

 

 "Can we stop? I don't feel my legs anymore.." Ahri started whining as the song ended and we finished dancing. Even though it was the first day we started practicing, we - or rather me - learned the whole dance. Well, I am an excellent dancer..

 "Yeah, sure." I said and Ahri immediately dropped on the floor. While she was laying there on her back, I sat on the couch and gulped down the whole bottle of water.

 "What time is it?" Ahri asked, now not out of breath.

 "7.49p.m." I answered after I checked my phone.

 "We should get going. I need to do my homework." Ahri said as she was getting up from the floor.

  But suddenly, the lights went out. A blackout? I thought. After a while, I didn't hear anything from Ahri.

 "Ahri?" I asked as I tried to use my phone's light to look around the practice room.

 "Y-Yeah?" Ahri responded, her voice cracking.

 "Where are you?" I got up from the couch and tried to find Ahri.

 "H-Here.." Ahri's voice cracked again.

  After a moment I somehow managed to find her sitting on the floor. I locked my phone, stuffed it in to the pocket of my sweatpants. I sat down on the floor in front of Ahri and took her hand.

 "Are you okay?" I didn't know what to ask her as I felt her shaking.

 "N-N-No.." she said in a shaky tone as she grasped my hand with her one hand, my forearm with the other like her life depended on it.

  I felt this feeling that I should comfort Ahri, so circled my arms around her.

  After some time Ahri stopped shaking and the lights went back on. I released Ahri from my embrace and I saw her pale face. She just sat there silent.

 "Hey.." I called for her softly, but she didn't budge. She didn't even blink. I gently turned her face towards me by her chin.

 "O-oh s-sorry.." Ahri managed to squeak.

 "Are you afraid of the dark?" I asked her softly.

 "Yeah.." Ahri answered and blushed after she realized that we were really close to each other. "And I have night blindness." she heaved a frustrated sigh as she scooted a little bit away from me.

 "It's frustrating to not see anything at night, right?"

 "Yes, but not only at night. If it's slightly darker outside or inside, I have to blink like a hundred times just to locate an object." Ahri said, now her voice back to normal.

 "It must be pretty hard for you.."

 "Yeah.." Ahri got up from the floor, feeling quite uncomfortable, and went to get a bottle of water.

  It took more than five minutes to get ready to go home.

  We were walking home side by side. It felt really good to talk to Ahri like she was my friend. Of course, we did argue about some things, but the arguments would end in laughter.

  When we were finally back home, we both did our homework, took turns at bathroom and went to bed. Neither of us didn't feel like sleeping on the couch, since we were really tired, so we both just slept on the bed.

  Don't get your hopes up, okay? We didn't do anything. We fell asleep as soon as our heads touched the pillows.

 

****

 

  The alarm clock startled me from my deep slumber.

  I slowly opened my eyes and saw Ahri's beautiful sleeping face. I gently brushed a strand of hair from her face as a smile formed on my lips.

  As I was looking at her face, I couldn't help but feel the feeling I've hadn't experienced in a long time. The feeling in my stomach was really delightful and I just felt so happy.

  Ahri stirred in her sleep. She stretched her arms out, almost hitting my face, and put them around my neck. I stared at her wide-eyed for a while, but the smile from before came back.

  I finally realized something.

  I am in love with you... I admitted to myself as I was looking at the most beautiful girl in the world.

  LONG TIME NO SEE!!! *starts singing T.O.P's DOOM DA DA*

 

  I'm seriously sorry for not updating this story for, like, 4 or more months!

  So, a lot happened in those 4 and something months. I started another fanfic, had been sick for quite some times, celebrated my birthday with lots of alcohol and my leg has been even worse than ever. And, speaking of which, my leg will be put in plaster. AGAIN.

...

 

  I'll try to update this story like before. But sorry if I don't, since I'm trying to do everything I want to do during summer holiday before my leg will be put in plaster. So I have about 5 or 6 weeks. And I have a lot of things to do, like, A LOT. My best friend wants me to experience the best summer ever and I'm really grateful for having such caring friend.

 

  Okay, I gotta go. Today I'm going to the sauna at my friends house. YAY!!!

 

  Love y'all! ♥
