Chapter 12: Forehead Kisses

How Much do Dreams Cost?

Sehun's POV

After we break the kiss, we both look down at the ground 

"I'll see you tomorrow" she says and rushes into the car that brought her here.

My smile faded the second I saw my father sitting in the living room 

"I feel like you're hiding something, if you are tell me now because if I find out later, there will be consequences" he tells me 

"What kind of consequences?" 

"One's you don't want to endure son"

"Well there's nothing I'm hiding" 

We remain staring at one another, until I looked away to go upstairs

Sophie's POV

When I got home, I was bursting with joy inside, but I had to hide it from my parents 

I sprint upstairs to call Vanessa, growing anxious as I listen to the dial tone 

"Hello?" I hear

"You'll never guess what happened!"

"What?"

"He kissed me!" I yell as quietly as I could 

"No way! Were his lips soft?"

"Softer than silk, my friend!" 

"I'll take your word for it" she laughs

"And I met his parents"

"Really? How did that go?"

"Basically like sitting at the dinner table with a Korean version of my father" 

"Did you tell him you're a Ballerina?"

"No, Sehun told me not to tell him just yet" 

"I could probably see why. he seems like a powerful man from what I seen at the bank" 

"Is he really that powerful?"

"Yes, he can get anyone to do anything with the snap of his fingers, including me. I've seen him get angry and it is terrfying!" 

Hearing that made me a bit nervous

"I guess I should stay on his good side then"

"Yeah, you don't want to see the bad side" 

We talked a bit more, than hung up to get ready for bed 

That next morning, when I open my front door, I see Sehun standing there

"Good morning beautiful" he tells me as he holds the car door open

"Are you crazy? It could have been my parents walking out"

"And I would have pretended I was a driver sent by a friend" he explains 

"Yeah, good plan" 

While Sehun was driving, I kept watching him

"What?"

"I've never seen you drive, we're always being driven around" 

"My father let me have one of the cars, I have no idea why, but I'm sure it's for a coniving reason" 

"You drive like an old man" I saw we weren't going that fast

"Safety first" he tells me and I laugh a little 

When we get to my school, Sehun walks me all the way to my first class

"What time are your classes over?" he asks me

"At 3:15" 

"I'll be here" 

"You don't have to drive me around, I'm use to walking, it strengthens my legs" 

"I know I don't have to, I want to though" 

"Alright, we'll I can't stop you if you want to" 

He waves at me as he makes his way back to the parking lot 

Sehun's POV

As I watched people walk through the exit, I grow anxious to see Sophie. I look through the people to see if I spot her.

"Who are you lookin for?" I hear a voice behind me, I turn to see Sophie 

"I was looking for you, but I guess this is the wrong door"

"All my classes aren't in the same room, my last class is all the way on the other side of campus" she informs me as we walk towards my car, she tried to hide it but I could tell she thought it was funny

When we get in the car, I ask her where would she like to go before she had practice tonight

"Oh is this our second date?" 

"Yeah, yeah we could say it's our second date" 

"Wow, it's already our second date, I think we should slow things down a bit" 

"You're right, let's wait at least a month before we go on our second date" 

"Sounds about right" she smiles 

We end up at this bowling alley after Sophie mentions shes never been bowling. 

I however, was a bowling master, but I didn't let her know. 

"I wonder how many people have bowled in these shoes" she says as she laces them up

"They disinfect them each time someone wears them"

"Are you any good at bowling?"

"No, I haven't played since I was a kid" 

"You're probably not as bad as a beginner like me" 

"I wouldn't doubt it, we should make a bet" 

"What did you have in mind?"

"If I win I get to watch you practice tonight" 

"You would have to sit with all the parent's who come to watch their kids"

"I don't mind"

"Fine, if I win you have to put on a leotard and do some Ballet" 

"It's a deal" we shake hands and proceed to the game

After about an hour of gloating, trash-talking, and the sound of Sophie yelling "you're a cheater", I finally won the game

"I haven't played since I was a kid" she mimics me, "yeah right, you totally hustled me!" 

"I haven't played since I was a seventeen, that's still a kid" 

"Whatever, you knew you were going to win"

"I might of, now I'm excited to watch you practice" 

She rolls her eyes as we head back to the car. 

When we get to the studio, I find a nice spot between two Moms. 

Sophie's POV

As I'm getting dressed, I hear some girls whisper about a cute guy sitting with the parents

Hopefully I didn't embarrass myself in front of him

While we're walking out, it seemed like everyone was staring at Sehun 

When my instructor spots him, she smiles

"You're a little young to be a parent, so I assume you're a friend of one of my dancers?" 

"Mhm, I'm here to watch Sophie"

"Oooohs" arise from the girls and I feel my face get hot as I awkwardly smile

"He's handsome Sophie, is he your boyfriend?" one of the girls asks me

"Not yet, we just started seeing each other" I explain

Once everyone took their focus off of Sehun, we began practice

Sehun's POV

I thought watching her on stage was magical, but watching her practice was even better

I got to see her get into Ballet, I watched her mess up multiple times and finally get it right, I watched as she helped the other girls. 

I could see the ambition and passion in her eyes, which I wasn't close enough to see when I watched her on stage

"She's amazing isn't she?" one of the Mom's asks me

"Yeah she really is" 

I pull my video camera from my pocket and start recording her, knowing this was probably the only time she was going to let me watch her practice 

"Please remind me how stupid I sounded when I said being a professional Ballerina is crazy" I tell her as we walk out of the studio 

"Don't flatter me, I was messing up a lot since you were making me nervous"

"I like watching you mess up because I got to see you get it right in the end"

"I'm glad you liked it because you're never coming to watch me practice ever again" she declares as we get in the car

"I had a feeling you were going to tell me that" 

Now we stand staring at each other on her porch, not wanting to say goodbye to each other

"It was nice spending all day with you" she tells me

"We should have days like this more often" 

She nods and smiles at me

"You should probably go before your parents think I'm keeping you out too late"

I lean over and kiss her on the forehead

"Goodnight" I tell her

"Goodnight"
