You and Sehun walked into the police station together and all you were thinking was;

I’d rather be anywhere but here.

When officer Choi sat down with you, you began to tell him everything that had occurred. Since officer Choi was familiar with your case, it wasn’t as difficult to describe to him the circumstances of the assault. However, nobody said it was easy.

“Could you tell me exactly what Mr. Kwangchul did to you?” he asked.

Your hands were shaking in your lap. You didn’t want to remember anything that monster did to you. If it were possible, you would completely erase his dark presence from your memory.

You were disrupted from your thoughts when Sehun placed his warm on yours. He gave it a reassuring squeeze and smiled his familiar boyish smile. You returned the smile while trying to calm yourself down. You felt better having your best friend by your side like this.

“He… ran his hands down my body… and-“  you took a deep breath, this was harder than you thought. You glanced at Sehun apologetically; he smiled and nodded at you.

“Officer, I’ll just step out for a bit” Sehun said.

You were thankful for that. Even though Sehun was one of your closest friends, he was still a guy and you weren’t sure how comfortable you were sharing these personal details with him.

After Sehun left, you gave officer Choi and accurate description of that night. You also showed him the marks on your neck and arms that were inflicted by Kwangchul. All the information you provided was written on his record and the case was set up for investigation. Since it was a breach of a restraining order, the consequences for him were serious.

“Thank you for the information _____-sshi, I will contact you once we find him.” He said.

You nodded giving him a small bow, you then headed for the door.

 Sehun was waiting for you in his car and he smiled once he saw you.

“Hungry?” he beamed.

“Actually, I might just go home and take a nap” you replied sheepishly.

“No way, you’re denying food? I never thought this day would come”

Your lips managed to form into smile.

“HAH! I made you smile, that means you’ll have lunch with me right?”

“Araso Araso, just shut up about it already” you rolled your eyes at his logic.

After lunch, Sehun drove you back home and walked you to your door. You asked him to come inside for a second so that you return the book he lent to you; The Sanctuary.

“Judging by how fast you’re returning it, I’m guessing you liked it?”

“Or maybe I’m just returning it cause it was boring and I was getting sick of the coffee stains on the pages” you coughed.

“Oh, I did try to clean it before giving it to you” he said, slightly embarrassed.

You laughed and flicked his forehead.

“I’m kidding silly, it was really good”

“I’m glad you liked it” he smiled.

You yawned and took off your cardigan and headed for the kitchen.

“Speaking of coffee, did you want some?” you said.

He didn’t answer you so you assumed that was a yes. You plugged in your coffee maker and pressed ‘brew’.

You then grabbed two cups from the cupboard and tried looking for some cookies.

All of a sudden, you felt Sehun’s arms wrap around your waist and you gasped, almost dropping the cups.

“Sehun! what-“ you tried to say as your face grew heated.

“Don’t turn around, just stay still” he said.

You lowered your eyebrows in confusion but complied with his request.

There was silence for a few seconds and the nervousness began to build within your body. You looked down at his arms that were still firmly wrapped around your waist and you felt your heart beating in an irregular way. You were about to say something until you heard him sigh.

“I’m sorry.” He said.

Your eyes widened.

“I’m sorry… I couldn’t protect you” he said quieter this time, almost a whisper. “It’s my fault; I should have been there for you” he continued.

You were speechless. Sehun sounded like he was about to breakdown.

“Sehun” you whispered.

He rested his forehead at the back of your neck and his warm breath made you shiver.

You moved his hands from your waist and turned around to face him.

He was staring at the ground, looking completely defeated. Just seeing him like that broke your heart.

You bit your lip in an effort to swallow your emotions, and then placed your hands on his shoulders.

“Sehun-ah, you know none of this is your fault-“

He instantaneously grabbed your hands from his shoulders and pulled you into a tight hug. You let out a small gasp as the embrace practically engulfed you into him.

Since Sehun was much taller, your head naturally fell to his chest and you caught a whiff of his heavenly scent.

Your body was unmoving as you stood there in his embrace.

You couldn’t budge or think. All that came to your senses was the light scent emanating from him, which reminded you of an orchard in early spring.

You two remained that way for a while, neither breaking the silence.

He pulled away and caught your eyes.

You had to admit, it was getting increasingly difficult to look him in the eye.

“I… I think the coffee is ready!” you said in a slightly panicked state.

You began walking over to the kitchen when you felt Sehun grab on to your arm. He swiftly pulled you back into his embrace as if you were light as a feather.

He brought his lips close to your ear.

“Don’t ever worry me like that again, okay?” he whispered.

You felt a familiar feeling arising in the pit of your stomach. Butterflies?

“I’ll skip on the coffee tonight, goodnight” he added.

He placed emphasis on the ‘goodnight’, making it seem more intimate than the word 'goodnight' should sound.

You felt his arms slip from your shoulders and all you heard was the sound of footsteps, fading away in the distance.

The door shut and it shook you up slightly.

You glanced up from your puzzled state, still unable to grasp what just happened. However, there was one thing you were sure of;

The coffee was ready.

A/N:

Short chapter I know! but... SEHUN FEELS! If you haven't noticed yet you can clearly see that Sehun is bit more daring when it comes to skinship, meanwhile Jongin is still a little shy when it comes to OC, but that doesn't make him any less adorable.

Who do you like better?

daring Sehun vs. shy Jongin?

*Just before I go I want to give a shoutout to Reenaluna and Hariniisawesome for commenting often and leaving feedback! I'm not sure who OC will end up with yet but all your comments are making me think! ♥
