Forced To Say I Do

'She's back' was the only thing in my head for the last minute or so. What is she doing back so early? She's not meant to be back for another year but this wasn't the thing bothering me right now. She was in his embrace whilst I was watching from afar.

  I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around to see Taemin oppa smiling at me apologetically at me. 

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" I lied.

"Tae Hee you know you can't lie, especially to me."

"I'm not lieing," I mumbled. "Let's just go in."

I pushed the door open causing the both of them to break apart from each other. 

"Tae Hee!" Hae Ri called. Great now I actually have to act like I don't know anything happened between the two of them.

  Hae Ri came over to pull me into a bear hug. "I haven't seen you in forever," I replied, returning her hug. 

"Wait you two know each other?" Jong In asked in a confused tone.

"You didn't tell him, Tae Hee?" Taemin butted in.

"She's my cousin," Hae Ri and I replied in sync. 

 

*Jong In's POV*

 

So my ex girlfriend is my wife's cousin? So that's the reason Tae Hee got angry when I called her Hae Ri and kissed her that night. I even fought with her the next day. Aish now I seem like such a jerk. 

"Why did you just leave like that?" Tae Hee asked.

"I told you. I went to study in America," Hae Ri smiled back. Why do I feel like these two are only pretending to like each other in front of me? Aish I feel like Hae Ri's going to cause trouble or maybe I'm just paranoid. I'm not sure. 

-Fifteen minutes ago-

"Oppa! Guess who's back?" a voice called. The voice sounded awfully like Tae Hee's but she would never call me oppa. I tried my chances anyway. "Tae Hee?" I replied turning back to see it wasn't Tae Hee. It was Hae Ri.

"H-hae Ri?" I stuttered. She smiled and walked towards me. 

"Why are you back?"

"Aren't you happy to see me oppa?" she pouted. Aish that pout, she knows it drives me crazy. One of the reasons why I didn't want Tae Hee pouting was because it reminded me so much of Hae Ri. Everything about these two was seriously alike...except for their personalities. Hae Ri's clingy and selfish. She hates to share whereas Tae Hee is the total opposite, selfless and caring.

"You're not suppose to be back until next year, Hae Ri."

"Well I missed you oppa," she replied placing her palm on my cheek.

I slapped her hand away. "Cut the crap. You're an emotionless , Hae Ri."

"After two years you're still angry at me?"

"It's because of those two years that I'm angry at you." She pulled me into her embrace. "I'm sorry. I didn't know things would turn out like that," she whispered. I couldn't help but hug her back and nuzzle the crook of her neck. I missed this. Her sweet aromatic strawberry scent, her soft curls slightly dangling over my face

. After two years I still felt the same about her except for the fact that I also have someone else in my heart now. Tae Hee. There's no way I can share one heart between two people.

-end of flashback-

 

*Tae Hee's/Your POV*

I could feel the chemistry between those two. He stills love her. 

"I guess we're not practicing today then?" I asked Jong In.

"Yeah I'm going to catch up with Hae Ri today. We'll practice tomorrow." Sigh. Of course Hae Ri would come before anything. Everyone around her is always like that.

"See you, hyung," Jong In said to Taemin and walked out the door with a clingy Hae Ri, locking arms with him. Typical Hae Ri.

"So um what just happened?" Taemin asked.

"Well oppa, he just ditched me for his ex girlfriend," I sighed. 

"So what are we going to do?"

"I don't know, oppa. Let's just go to EXO's dorm. I think the boys would like to know Hae Ri's back."

 

Half an hour later we arrived at EXO's dorm.  I was standing in front of the door and I could hear yelling and screaming already, most likely Chanyeol and Baekhyun. Taemin oppa was standing next to me listening to this noise with a judgmental expression. I couldn't help but giggle. 

"Don't worry. They like to joke around a lot," I assured. Within a few seconds of ringing the doorbell, D.O,the umma, opened the door wearing a pink polka dot apron with pink rubber gloves.

"Hey Tae Hee," he greeted. In the background I could hear Xiu Min, another umma, nagging the maknaes to clean their rooms.

"Maknaes! If you two do not clean your rooms I swear I will eat all your dinner for the rest of the week," he threatened. 

"Uhhhh hey D.O oppa. The dorm seems louder than usual," I chuckled. 

"Yeah it's cleaning day and nobody wants to clean." Taemin and I walked in to be greeted by a towel thrown in my face.

"OH SEHUN! HUANG ZI TAO!" I yelled pulling the towl off of my face.

 "Uh sorry Tae Hee," Tao said trying hard to not laugh.

"TAE HEE! You saved us from cleaning!" Chanyeol cheered.

  "Yah! Chanyeol! Didn't I tell you start the washing machine?" Suho scolded.

"Uh sorry hyung, don't know how to use it." I rolled my eyes at the all of them.

"Hey Taemin," Lay greeted.

"Finally someone notices my existence," he joked and greeted Lay back. 

"So where's Kris oppa?"

"Oh he's on a date with his grilfriend," Baekhyun replied, receiving a slap on the arm from Chen.

"What the hell was that for?"

"One for saying Kris hyung is on a date and two because I felt like slapping you," Chen laughed. "He's just joking, Tae Hee. Don't listen to him."

"I suggest you sleep with one eye open tonight, chenchen," Baekhyun smirked.

"Yah you're all so loud," Kris groaned coming down the stairs.

"Oh hi Tae Hee and Taemin," he greeted. The both of us waved at him and turned our attention back to the main reason 

"Anyway I need to talk to all of you," I announced.

"Is something wrong? And if you don't mind me asking where's Jong In? He told us he would be practicing with you."

"See that's the problem. Hae Ri's back and I didn't tell you guys but she's my cousin." I watched as all their expressions changed.

"What? The is back?" Kris asked.

"She's your cousin?" Baekhyun yelled in an astonished tone.

"Why is she back so early?" Sehun contributed.

"So where's Jong In now?" 

"Suho hyung that is such a stupid question. Obviously he's with Hae Ri," Chen replied bluntly.

"Hyung what are we going to do?" Chanyeol asked frantically.

"We can't let them get back together."

"I'm sure they're just catching up. I mean Jong In can't still love her, right?" Luhan answered, unsure about it.

"I think he still loves her," Taemin spoke up.

"We saw them hugging in the practice room."

"I'm sure it was just a friendly hug," Lay assured. "Well we're going to take a leave," I announced. "I just wanted to tell you guys."

"Okay thanks Tae Hee and don't worry about Jong In and Hae Ri. They're probably just catching up as friends," D.O smiled.

 

*No one's POV*

 

As soon as Tae Hee and Taemin had stepped out the door and headed off, the boys began planning for the possible outcomes of Hae Ri's return.

"Okay, let's take a vote. Does anyone actually want Jong In  back with Hae Ri?" Suho asked as the rest of the members had gathered around the little table in front of the couch.  Only Lay and Luhan raised their hands. 

"I think Hae Ri makes Jong In happy," Lay voiced his opinion.

"Yeah but you have to remember that she was the one who caused him pain in the beginning," Kris argued back calmly.

"No Lay is right. He deserves someone who can make him happy," Luhan supported. 

"Excuse me but Tae Hee can make him just as happy as Hae Ri does. I don't want Jong In and Hae Ri back together," Baekhyun argued whilst slamming the table out of frustration.

"Yeah! Tae Hee's the one that's making him change back to the old Jong In, isn't that what we wanted?" 

"Xiu Min hyung is right. Jong In loves Tae Hee but because Hae Ri's back he's going to be blinded."

"Lay hyung, Luhan hyung. Think about it again," Chen advised. "Tae Hee's the only one for Jong In. It's only been four months and she's managed to bring part of the old Jong In back.

" "I want Tae Hee and Jong In to work out aswell but think about it, Tae Hee and Jong In are in an arranged marriage," Lay emphasised. "There's no way he's going to realise how much she means to him especially now that Hae Ri's back."

"Yeah guys and you have to think about how Tae Hee feels about all of this as well! We can't just decide things on our own. Maybe Tae Hee's going to accept their Hae Ri's an Jong In's relationship. I mean they are cousins after all," Luhan tried to persuade.

"Tae Hee loves him," Sehun spoke up. "Did you not see her eyes? They were filled with pain and sadness."

"Oooohhh maknae seems to know a lot about girls," Tao teased receiving a playful slap from Sehun.

"Tao, shut it!" Kris groaned.

  "So the only one that wants Hae Ri and Jong In together is Luhan?" Suho asked s.

  "Actually I changed my mind halfway through. You guys are pretty convincing," Luhan laughed.

"So what's the plan, Suho hyung?" Chanyeol asked curiously.

"Just let them be for the moment. I mean we haven't actually talked to Jong In about it. He might not even like Hae Ri anymore. We need to make sure of these details before we go and do something stupid."

"But if we don't act soon who knows what's going to happen. Taemin hyung seems like he likes Tae Hee," Sehun assumed.

"What do you mean, sehun-ah?" Luhan sighed.

"Well he just seems protective of her. Isn't that a sign of liking someone?"

"Sehun you can't just go around assuming things," D.O scolded. Amongst the midst of the discussion only one person had really objected Jong In and Hae Ri's relationship. He was the one who was in a secret relationship with Hae Ri and that was the real reason he didn't want them back together, except everyone else believed that he was doing what was best for Jong In. In other words, he still loved her.
