The girl named Lee Rian

A step closer; The beginning

"All this time that I hang out with Rian, I got to realize one thing. That I know absolutely nothing about her.  I have to admit though, that she amazes me every day...Her character, her beauty, her way of doing things, her purity."

Oh Sehun

 

"What the heck? Why would he go there? You're about to get killed idiot!" Krystal shouted to the TV. The kids had decided to watch a thriller. Rian, Baekhyun, Kyungsoo and Junmyeon were hugging their pillows tight, screaming, not wanting to watch the scary scenes. Chanyeol didn't really pay attention to the movie as he was going through his phone. Krystal surprised everyone with her enthusiasm for the film. No one really expected her to be that fearless. She watched every second of the movie, not minding the scary and disgusting scenes and also commenting about everything. Sehun just observed everyone, laughing with his scared friends. What caught Sehun's attention though, was Jongin's stiffness. It was as if he felt uneasy about something, constantly rubbing his hands and looking at his phone.

"Are you okay Jongin?" He said quietly, not wanting Krystal and the rest of the kids to hear. Jongin jumped up to the sound of Sehun's voice, which caused Sehun to be even more suspicious of his friend.

"Ah yes...I'm fine." He simply replied, moving his attention from his phone to the movie.

Sehun couldn't help but feel worried about Jongin. Even though no one but him noticed, Jongin had been really weird lately. When they hanged out he would barely talk, and he would always look nervous and somewhere in his own world in general.

"Rian-ah, where's the toilet?" Jongin suddenly asked.
"Ah, it's upstairs, third door on your left."
"Thanks." Jongin got up from his seat and headed towards the stairs. Sehun quietly followed him. No one really noticed him, as they all paid attention to the thriller. 

Sehun got up the stairs and reached the door that the toilet was supposed to be in. He carefully placed his ear to the door.

"What am I supposed to do then?" He heard Jongin's voice. Unfortunately he could not hear what the person Jongin talked to said.

"Okay let's repeat it once. Name, Im Mirae. Age, 18 years old. She's my age. Luhan's team is going to participate too? Then I have to beat him." By now Sehun really didn't understand a thing.

"I have to hang up now. They are waiting for me. I don't want them to suspect anything."
"Okay, we'll talk again."
Silence.

Sehun quickly ran away from the toilet, entering the first door he found. When he heard Jongin walking away, he released the breath he's been holding. What the heck was Jongin talking about on the phone? Who's Im Mirae and who's Luhan and his team? Why he has to beat Luhan? All those questions were eating him up, when suddenly he observed his surroundings. He was in a huge white room, with an enormous bed in the centre. The room was very well decorated, classy and simple. The books, and the photos on the wall gave away that this room belonged to Rian. He knew he had to go back to the kids, but he couldn't resist checking some of her stuff. He was curious about Rian, and the answers to his questions were before his eyes. He was in Rian's personal space after all. He started observing the photos on the wall. All of them portrayed Rian and her family. He recognized her parents and he saw some older people, which he supposed were her grand-parents. He saw Rian as a little girl and he couldn't help but remember the time he had a crush on her. Even as a little girl, Rian was always good looking. Her hair was always black and long and her characteristics blended perfectly. He remembered she always wore dresses when she was younger. At the thought of a young Rian he chuckled and smiled. She was always so weird. One could never guess what she was thinking. But that was her charm.

In her desk, he spotted a fluffy notebook. He got closer and took it in his hands. He read "Rian's diary". Not thinking, he quickly tried to open it but the locker on the side stopped him. "Why would you lock it?" He thought. He tried to find the keys to the diary, but the steps outside the door caught him off guard. He quickly threw the diary away and hid beside Rian's bed. 

The door opened and Sehun recognized Rian's figure. From downstairs he could hear Chanyeol's voice.
"Rian-ah! Sorry for spilling my drink all over you! I did it by mistake!"

 

He also heard Rian talking to herself. "I knew he would spill it on me in the end. He was playing with it for an hour. It was about to happen. Let's change." Sehun's eyes almost fell off. She would change? Now? In front of him? Of course, she didn't know he was there, but still. He saw the shirt Rian was wearing falling to his side. "It's not happening!" He thought. He suddenly felt nervous. He shouldn't look towards her, but his instict told him otherwise. He lifted his head discreetly and looked at Rian. She was on her bra, trying to find a shirt in her closet. Her hair fell on her back, hiding it from him. Suddenly she her side and put on a white shirt. This movement allowed Sehun to take a glimpse of her body. "Gorgeous..." He thought. Her stomach was flat and fit and her chest was on the fuller side. When she finally put on the shirt he hid once again, as he waited for Rian to leave the room. When she did so, he got up, ashamed of what he did. "I shouldn't have seen. I shouldn't have seen... But I don't regret it either. Oh my god I'm such an ." A million thoughts crossed his head. 

He decided it was about time he would go downstairs to join the others again. He did so, quietly, so that the others would not understand where he came from.

"Sehun-ah, where were you?" Baekhyun asked.

"I was talking on my phone."
"Soyeon called?"
"Ah, no...It was my mother. She informed me about some stuff. That's why I've been gone for so long."
"I see...The movie ends in a while. We'll leave after."
"Okay then. Kids, I need a favour from all of you. Please don't tell Soyeon I was here. She'll get mad."
"We all know how she is. We're not going to say a thing to her." Kyungsoo stated. The others agreed.

They waited for the movie to end and when it did they all got up, bid goodbyes to each other and left.


 

The next day Rian arrived to school late, due to an accident that had taken place, causing traffic.

She started running towards the stairs, like a madman. When she was about to take a turn and run some more she fell upon someone. Terrified she lifted her face to see Sehun holding her in his arms with big eyes. Her hands were placed on his chest. They looked at each other right in the eyes. Silence. Rian was the first to move away.

"I'm sorry Sehun-ah. I was running like crazy and I didn't see you coming." She quickly apologized.

"It's my fault too. I was running because I wanted to tell something to Jongin." He replied, hiding her the fact that he was following Jongin again.

"It's okay. See you later." She said and gave him a smile.

"Yes, see you." Sehun was puzzled. Why was he so curious about Rian? Could it be that he still had feelings for her? It couldn't be the case, right?

Rian, could not stop her heart from beating fast. She was almost outside of the class she had to take, but she decided she would enter after she calmed down a bit. 

"Aren't you going to go in?" Sehun asked.

"I need to calm down. I was running for some minutes, so I think I might faint now." She jokingly said.

"Where's Jongin? You didn't find him?" She continued.

"No I lost him."
"That should be my fault."
"It's okay... I'm bored. Do you want to skip class?"
"Are you serious now?"
"Yes. Why?"
"I never skipped a class before."
"There's a first time for everything."
"Still, I can't..."
"Let's go." Sehun simply said as he took her hand.

She was wondering where he was taking her when she realized they were heading to the auditorium. He suddenly stopped, let her hand and opened the door a little to take a glimpse inside.
 

"There's no class here now. Let's go in." Sehun said and nodded towards the auditorium. Rian entered first. She passed all of the seats that were placed in there and got up to the stage. Sehun quietly followed her. In the stage, there was a piano, a guitar, some music stands and a microphone.

"It feels good to be up here. Right?" He asked.
"Yes it does..."
"Do you sing?"
"No!"
"I think you do though."
"Well, just a little..."
"Sing something to me."
"What?! No! I can't. I'm too shy for that."
"You have to get over your fears. Plus it's only me here. I won't judge you. Sing something."
"I don't know..." She said heading towards the microphone.

"Do you want me to play the piano?" She asked.
"Why don't you do both?"

Rian went to the piano and carefully sat to the piano stool.

"What should I sing?"
"Your favourite song."
"Okay then..." 

She then started singing Heaven by Ailee. It was one of her favourite songs. 

"니가 있는 곳에 나도 함께 할게..Where you are I will be there too...
니가 가는 곳에 나도 함께 갈게..Where you go I will go there too..."

Sehun was amazed by Rian's voice. It was soft and showed her emotions perfectly. When she reached the refrain Rian looked up at Sehun.

You’re my only one way
Only for you –
I am thankful that I am next to you
You’re the only one babe
You taught me love in this harsh world
I am happy with you alone
Heaven Heaven Heaven Heaven Heaven
Heaven Heaven Heaven Heaven Heaven
If we’re together
we will never cry never never cry

Her voice was now strong and powerful. Sehun swore her voice was perfect. He enjoyed her performance and when she finally finished he gave her a standing ovation.

"I'm speechless! I didn't know you could sing like that!"
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me."
"There are a lot of things I'd like to know about you." Silence. The bell suddenly rang.

"Well...will we go back to the class now?" Rian asked, thankful that the bell rang.
"Yes sure...Let's go back."

 

What the two of them didn't know was the fact that a certain someone watched the encounter. Soyeon was looking for Sehun when she heard someone singing in the auditorium. Curious as to who this voice belonged to, she opened the door, when she spotted Rian singing and Sehun watching her in awe. 

"This sure knows what to do. Is she provoking me now? I'm not one to share though... You want to have my boyfriend Lee Rian? Over my dead body."


Sehun and Rian found Chanyeol, Baekhyun, Kyungsoo and Krystal at the school yard.

"Where were you two?" Chanyeol asked.

"We were at the auditorium. I forced Rian to sing, and you have no idea how horrible she sings." Sehun replied.

"Yah! It really seemed like you enjoyed it, when you were watching me with your mouth wide open." Rian retorted.

"Hahaha I'm joking! Her voice is amazing!Seriously, next time we'll make her sing when we're all together."
"Call! Why did I miss this?" Chanyeol said.

"Guys have you any idea where Jongin might be? He didn't come to the classroom and I couldn't find him when the bell rang either. His phone is turned off." Krystal stated, worry evident in her voice.

"Sehun saw him in the morning." Rian simply said.

"Sehun do you know where he is?"
"It's true I saw him in the morning. I went after him, because I wanted to ask him about something but then Rian bumped onto me, so I lost him. Maybe he went home." Sehun said, trying to calm Krystal down and hide the fact that he was worried too and that he had noticed some weird things about Jongin lately. He thought it would be better if he talked it over with Jongin first.

"I don't know...He seems weird lately. Yesterday as we were leaving Rian's house a stranger waved at him and he called him Kai. Jongin told me he confused him for someone else." Krystal added.

"Kai? Are you sure?" Chanyeol asked.

"Yes, why? Do you know something?"
"No no...Sehun will you come with me at the toilet? It's urgent. I want to pee." Chanyeol said taking Sehun away and nodding to Baekhyun and Kyungsoo to shut their mouths. The two girls missed this movement but the boys understood right away. Kai was a code name. When the boys were younger, they used to have nicknames. Chanyeol was Yeoda, Sehun was Yehet, Baekhyun was Bacon, Junmyeon was Suho, Kyungsoo was D.O and Jongin was Kai. They were all puzzled as to why someone would greet Jongin as Kai. The boys were pretty sure that these nicknames were only known by them personally. No one else knew.


"You know something, don't you?" Chanyeol asked.
"Not much. But I did notice some things." Sehun told him honestly.

"Tell me everything you know."
"He seemed really off lately so I paid more attention to him. Yesterday when we were watching the movie I followed him when he said he wanted to go to the toilet. I wasn't talking on the phone. I was actually trying to figure out what Jongin is up to."
"Did you find out something?"
"He had a really weird conversation. I don't who was the caller, but they were talking about a girl named Im Mirae. She's supposedly our age. I don't know what they wanted her for, but they mentioned someone named Luhan. Jongin definately said he had to beat Luhan's team."
"Are you sure you heard the name Luhan?"
"Yes..."
"I don't like the way the things are turning out at all."
"Why?"
"Because if the Luhan he mentioned is the Luhan I know then Jongin is in trouble."
"In trouble? What do you mean? Who's Luhan?"
"A gangster."


Hello guys! I'm back. I decided I'd add some action in this fic. I plan to create a sequel to this story and a spin-off. You're going to find out later.

P.S. New characters are about to be added. 

Hope you enjoyed!
