Sehun's POV

"Don't go crazy," I told Tao when he kept pointing out things on the menu.  "I'm not exactly rich." 

"Don't worry, Hunnie," Tao said and shrugged what I had said off. 

It was only the two of us.  After school ended, I took Tao to a Chinese restaurant because he said that he wanted to eat Chinese food.  So we sat at a table for two and he excitedly looked for what he wanted to order while I just picked something simple and went on my phone. 

Jongin was still texting me, bugging me to tell him what the little secret between Tao and I was.  I didn't tell him, though.  I didn't need the whole entire group of ours to know, and then maybe even possibly leaking it to Hina.  I definitely did not need her knowing because it might change how far our relationship had gotten. 

"So, how does Seohyun kiss?" Tao asked. 

I snapped my head up and glared at him. 

"What?" he asked.  "It's just us, Sehun.  No one will know or find out if they're not here." 

I sighed and realized that he was right afterall.  "If you want the honest truth, I didn't appreciate it at all." 

"So she doesn't have the hot lips like everyone keeps talking about?" 

"No.  She doesn't."  I rolled my eyes at him.  "I have no idea why you had to be the one to spot it.  Why couldn't someone more supportive have see the kiss- like Joonmyeon hyung or even Kris hyung would've been better." 

"Okay, okay.  Stop blabbering, princess," Tao said. 

"Shut up, Zitao." 

"I can't because the waitress is coming and about to take my order." 

The waitress greeted us and took our order before going off.  Tao shifted in his chair and looked at me.  He played with the case of his phone before the tense atmosphere changed. 

"Sorry," he apologized. 

I looked at him in surprise.  We've had bigger fights before- plus this was such a small argument that I didn't even think about it anymore. 

"I know you don't like Seohyun that way.  I was just teasing you," he continued. 

"It's fine, Tao.  I was just overreacting for minute," I told him. 

He nodded.  "Well, thanks for taking me out." 

"You're the one who threatened me before you went out telling people." 

"Hahah, I know, but thanks anyways." 

I couldn't help but chuckle a bit with him. 

After waiting for a couple of minutes, we got our food and ate right away.  We finished in a shorter time than it was served to us.  Tao had us finish off the meal with a delicious Chinese dessert.  Then we headed to my place since it was close by. 

"So no one knows about your kiss with Seohyun except for me?" Tao curiously asked as he plopped down on the couch. 

"Nope," I replied and took my coat off. 

"Not even Luhan-ge?" 

"Not even Luhan," I stated. 

"Well, do you know why she just came out and kissed you?" 

"Yeah, kind of...  She's liked me since we were younger and I guess she thought that kissing me would make me be with her." 

"Wow...  Why don't you like her?" 

"She's just a friend," I told him.  Then Hina popped into my mind. 

"And because you love Hina, right?"  He smirked at me. 

"H-Huh?  No..." 

"Ah, don't deny it now, Sehun.  It's way too obvious.  Even Luhan hinted at it when we all were at Chanyeol's dad's cafe." 

"Okay, fine."  I looked at him and sat down on my bed.  "I don't like her... but she's interesting.  She's different than most girls that I've met and-" 

"Just let me ask you this," Tao said, cutting me off.  "Would you be okay if some other guy started going out with Hina?" 

"Well... I mean-" 

"Just answer the question." 

"No." 

"Then I'm pretty sure you have feelings for the girl.  If you're so jealous and protective over her then you at least have a crush on her." 

"R-Really?" 

"Yeah...  Dude, are you serious?  You have so many girls crawling all over you, but you still don't know?  Maybe Jongin and I should really give you some love life lessons." 

"Shut up.  All the girls that are around me are scared of me.  And I really do not need love life lessons- especially from you guys." 

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?  Jongin and I have had our own relationships before unlike you." 

"Just because I've never been in a serious relationship before doesn't mean that I need advice from you guys." 

"Oh, whatever.  You're just jealous." 

I sighed and threw my pillow at Tao's head.  He glared at me, but I shrugged it off and let myself fall backwards onto my bed. 

The next day as I was getting ready for school, I thought about what Tao had said the night before.  Maybe he was right.  I think I've just been confused with my feelings. 

Just as I was getting onto the bus, I got a call from a animal shelter that I had filled out an application for.  They told me that they have accepted me and to come into work on Monday after school.  Then they would give me my work schedule and tell me how long my training would be and other stuff about the job that I would know later on. 

When Hina got onto the bus, I felt so nervous.  It was weird.  She came and stood next to me and suddenly my heart started beating so hard against my chest.  Usually I greeted her calmly, but out of no where I struggled to say hello. 

"Hi," she greeted me first. 

"H-Hey," I stuttered. 

"Are you okay?" she asked. 

"Yeah... w-why?" 

"Well, your cheeks look rosy.  Are you sick?" 

I brought one of my sweating hands up to my cheek and realized that it was hot.  "No.  I'm fine," I told her and looked away. 

"Are you sure?  Is the pain in your stomach still bothering you?" 

"No.  It's gotten better already." 

"Oh... that's good." 

I nodded and looked back to her.  She was looking semi my way, but not directly at me.  I couldn't help but stare at her every feature and admire them.  Really looking at her now made me realize how pretty she was.  Along with all her prettiness, her personality was pure and innocent. 

As I was staring at her, she turned her head and looked straight into my eyes.  She blinked a couple of times before looking away again.  "U-Uh, is there something on my face?" she asked. 

"No," I replied simply. 

"O-Oh," she muttered and started fidgeting with her fingers. 

We got off the bus when we arrived at the school and walked over to the school grounds.  We found most of the guys along with Jahee and Minhee standing together near the front doors and walked over to them. 

"Hey, guys," Jahee said because she was the first to spot us. 

I lifted my hand and gave them a slight wave while Hina greeted them quietly. 

"Continue with what you were saying," Jongin said. 

"Oh, yeah, well... Minah is my step-sister.  I'm sorry that she's caused trouble to you guys."  Jahee looked directly to Hina and me.  "She's really a good person on the inside... it's only when we come out like this where her personality totally turns 360 degrees around." 

"It's okay," Hina said. 

"Are you two even close with each other?" Minhee asked. 

"Not really.  We acknowledge each other, but nothing more than that," Jahee replied.  "I really don't know why she acts this way.  I've seen her good side before." 

"It's okay, really," Hina said.  "You don't have to apologize for her.  I understand." 

Hina really is one pure and kind girl.  I don't know how people could be so mean and rude to her.  It just makes me want to be there for her and protect her. 

Hi guys!  Is Sehun really finally realizing his feelings for Hina?  Hahah...  but anyways, now you guys know the little secret that was between Tao and Sehun.  Let's just say that Tao was after school cleaning a classroom or something and when he looked out the windown he spotted the two down in the school garden.  So yeahhhh... I think from what I'm planning in my head, this story will end soon.  I only have a couple more things that I really want to add in and then I will probably end it.  So sad :(  BUT!  That also means that I'll be putting another story out after this! ^-^
