Chapter 6: Rooms

How Much do Dreams Cost?

Sophie's POV

Once I saw how enourmous Sehun's house was, I grew a little nervous.

"You know, I was only joking about letting me into your house" I attempt to back out.

"Nope, you're already here" he grabs my hand and pulls me out of the car. 

He continues to hold my hand as we walk into his home, the inside was like nothing I've ever seen. It was probably the biggest house I've ever been inside.

As we take a mini tour, we run into who I assumed was his younger sister

When she sees me her eyes widen

"This is the first time Sehun has had company over" she jumps out of her seat and comes to shake my hand

"Hi I'm Jimin, his favorite sister" 

"You're my only sister" Sehun adds 

"I'm Sophie" 

"Sophie, pretty name" she compliments, "so what is Sehun paying you to be his friend?" 

"Something like that" I joke and she laughs 

"I like you! Be my friend instead" she loops arms with me as she leads me upstairs 

She shows me her room and it was full of posters of these Asian boy bands 

"Who are all these bands?" I look closer at one 

"They're K-pop boy bands, aren't they dreamy?" 

"Yeah, if you say so" 

"If you don't mind Jimin, Sophie is my guest" Sehun leads me out of her room 

"Are you even allowed to have girls in your room?" She eyeballs him

"Shut up Jimin. I'm a grown man, I can have whoever I want in my room" he reassures her and shuts her in her room 

Sehun's POV 

"She's great, how old is she?" 

"Fifteen and she's so annoying" I tell Sophie as we enter my room 

She looks around and doesn't look as amuse as she did in Jimin's room 

"Where are all your posters?" 

"I don't have any. I never felt the need to decorate my room" 

"I can see" she takes a second look at my plain walls 

She sits on my bed and looks at my tutoring notebooks, I just watch her. I liked the image of her being in my room, sitting on my bed 

"So what do you usually do in your room?" 

"Homework and paperwork" I answer 

"Booooriiiiing" she gets up to look at my closet, "I like how you dress though, you look like you could attend a business meeting at any time" she comments as she flips through my clothes 

"I'll take that as a compliment" 

She sits back down on my bed and she pats the spot next to her

"Don't make it so obvious you've never had a girl in your room. It's incredibly awkward" 

"Cut me some slack" 

Before she could say anything my mom barges into my room which makes me jump up 

"Sehun I-" she sees how nervous I looked then over to Sophie who waves at her 

She gives me this huge grin then goes towards Sophie

"And who is this beautiful girl?" my mom sits next to her

"This is Sophie, Sophie this is my mother" 

"Are you interested in my son?" 

"Mom!" I interrupt before Sophie has a chance to answer, "I think I hear Jimin calling you" 

"Of course she is son" she makes her way out of my room

"Well I've had enough of my house, let's go to yours" I suggest 

We were almost free until my mother called after us 

"When are you going to pay us a visit again?" 

"Soon, I really enjoyed your house" 

"Great, next time we should get to know each other more" 

"That sounds nice" 

We get back in the car and head to her house 

On the outside I was calm but excitement filled my body, I was anxious to see her room 

"My parent's won't be home until later so you won't be able to see them" she says as we make our way towards her front door

"Do you have any siblings?" 

"Unfortunately I don't" she makes a sad face 

When we enter her house, it resembled my house. 

"What do your parents do again?" I ask as I notice a picture of Sophie who had the same big smile she wears today, except in the picture she was missing her two front teeth 

"My mom is a real estate agent and my father is an accountant" she blocks my view of the rest of her old pictures 

"Are you always home alone?" 

"Yeah mostly" 

There was something about being in Sophie's house alone that made my heart beat faster 

"You wanna see my room?" She starts going up the stairs and I follow her 

Stepping into Sophie's room was like reading another chapter in a book about her 

Not only did I see Ballerina's but I noticed her favorite color was lavender, since that was the color of almost everything. She had a bunch of food plushies with eyes on them. Instead of a desk, she had a bookshelf full of magazines, and she had rows and rows of slippers next to her bed. 

"Your room says a lot about you" I pick up a broccoli plushie and laugh a little 

"What you mean is that it's way cooler than your room" 

"I must ask why do you have so many pairs of slippers?" 

"Well the cost of being a ballerina is how hideous your feet look so I hide them with slippers and I never want to run out so I buy a new pair every few weeks" she takes of her sneakers and puts on a pair 

"Feel free to take your shoes off. There's a pair I stole from my father" she hands them to me 

I look in her closet, and there's a huge pile of ballet shoes in a box on the ground 

"Why don't you just throw out the worn out ballet shoes?" 

"Because they're symbols of all the hardwork I've put into it"

I analyze her clothes, she had a lot of work out gear 

"You like to excersize?" 

"More like I have to excersize, I'm not exactly sure if I like it" 

The roles seemed to have switch because now she was the one giving off an awkward feeling 

"Now you're the one acting like you've never had a boy in your room"

 I sit on her bed, put my hands behind my head, and fall backwards into her bed 

She sits, criss cross near my head and looks down at me

"Hey at least I've had someone in my room. Vanessa's been in here more times than I can count 

I just smile, thinking about how beautiful she still looks from this angle
