Mafia In Love ✓

Chapter 9

***

Time is productive on Junmyeon, that's why starting from the day where he met Sehun on a business matter, the mafia promising him to call once he agrees with the offer, Junmyeon waits for the call.

But hours, days, weeks, and months already passed by but Sehun is still not calling him. He must admit that he is really expecting the male to call, but he didn't knew that he could be this annoyed and impatient.

For the past months, Junmyeon did nothing but only buy things, wander around the Korea, shop malls, drink several glasses, either he was alone or with his friends, and sleep. He misses the day where he goes onto school every morning and goes home every night, spending all of his time on the school, studying and reading.

He is currently inside the mall now, wandering once again even though he almost go here every week. He's on the phone section now, searching for a new brand phone since his old phone was now starting to hung and not working. He leans down on the wall, waiting for the saleslady to pack up the phone he bought and left the place.

The situation of the mall now isn't chaotic and crowded, since it was class time, the only people around the place were few, some were college students that may be on their break, or people that was unemployed or in date.

Junmyeon saw the national book store, and then he remembers that he also needs to buy the newly published book by his favorite author. Clutching his satchel, Junmyeon walks towards the book store to buy that book.

Of course, as expected, some of the customers in the book store were mostly teens buying wattpad books and manga books. It wasn't surprising on Junmyeon, after all, he also was like that back then.

The book that Junmyeon is searching was in the back part of the store. There, was the collection of new published book and some books written by the same author.

He groans, when he see that the book he's finding was in the upmost top of the shelf, and there was no stairs or anything that he can use to reach the high book.

Junmyeon isn't a tall person. He is short and his height are really cute. He mostly use chairs or something just to reach things on their library when he is still studying on a university.

"I swear, I'm going to kill who puts this book here." He whispers, tiptoeing because it's the only thing he can do to reach the book. The short guy tries his best to reach the book, his hands were short, and even his legs are.

Someone chuckled behind him and before he could turn his head, the man already reaches for the book, his masculine body touching Junmyeon's. Junmyeon turn his head and he saw the male that he's been waiting to call for about months already.

"You're too short, Junmyeon." Sehun, who turns out to be that man, giggled and gave Junmyeon the book.

Junmyeon rolled his eyes, glaring daggers at the male. "And what do you want me to do about that?"

"I think you should have someone tall and could help you reach the higher places that you, can't reach with your short height."

If that statement was offending to someone, Junmyeon finds it nothing but only an opinion. He was already used of being insulted as a short guy, people tend to ask him 'are you really a guy?', 'short people needs to disappear, they're nothing but a useless people.'.

"I have my tall brother with me."

"What I mean is, someone who could help you forever. Jongin won't stay on your side forever." Sehun said, Junmyeon turning on him.

"How do you know my brother?"

Sehun chuckled. "Come on Junmyeon, I met you and your brother on the party, remember?"

Junmyeon rolled his eyes before walking towards the counter, and Sehun following him from behind. He grunts, turning his head again on the taller.

"Why are you following me?!"

"I'm not following you!" Sehun tries his best not to laugh. "I'm paying for these book too." He showed the book he's holding and Junmyeon almost wish he could be eaten by the land already.

Annoyed, Junmyeon decided not to talk to the taller male again, he doesn't even know why is he waiting for the male to call when it was totally obvious that he don't like to partner with their company.

Sehun tries to talk to Junmyeon again, blabbering things and making jokes that somehow, Junmyeon finds funny but he tries his best to ignore him and don't laugh at his nonsense jokes.

When Junmyeon reach the counter, he gave the book and was about to also give his card when Sehun already reaches to pay for it.

Sehun smiled at the cashier. "I'll pay for it, including this." He gave the book he is holding, and smiled at Junmyeon who is eyeing him with a curious gaze.

"Why would you pay for my book?" Junmyeon asked, giving his own card at the cashier. "This is my book, I'm not associated to you so you can't pay for my book."

Sehun smirks before glaring at the cashier, signalling her to continue doing his work, and just used the first card that was handled. The mafia then looked at Junmyeon with a smug smile plastered on his face. "I would let you pay me for paying this book if you agree to eat with me. Doesn't that sound nice?"

Junmyeon didn't show any emotions, he just stared blankly at the mafia. "Do you think I'm dumb enough to agree eating with you?"

"Nope. But I'll be glad if you agree though." Sehun smirks, grabbing the two paper bags and his credit card. Junmyeon bite his inner cheek, probably trying to control his emotions.

If the memory of being rudely kissed by Sehun on the party, Junmyeon would easily agree to the invitation but since it happened and it is still lingering on his mind, his mind refuses the invitation even if he was glad to eat with Oh Sehun.

The only thing that made him to hate and refuses the invitation was his pride. The pride that he can't let down just by the male who stole a kiss from him, a kiss that he would admit the best he ever had.

But this time, Junmyeon didn't think about his pride, he didn't think about anything, he didn't think twice of nodding on Sehun because he can't always let his pride to control him on everything.

"So, where restaurant are we going to eat, Mr. Oh?"
