The Future Bride [EXO's Sehun]

Chapter 6 : Decisions

"Asterix." 

A hundred thoughts swirled in my head but at that moment, the only thing I was concious of was Sehun's arms around me. I'm literally clinging to him! What must he think of me!

Feeling embarrased, I let go and took a few steps back.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yes," I replied, turning away, "I have to go." Saying that, I fled the scene as the events kept replaying in my mind. How stupid of me to hug him like that! But as my thoughts cleared, I began to realise something. It wasn't unusual for teen boys to get involved with the mafia. Infact the mafia is forever on the lookout for new members and young boys are an easy target. They can be easily influenced and manipulated. But Sehun said that his brother had cut off all ties with the mafia. If their is one thing that being the daughter of Phoenix's overlord has taught me, it's this -  you never ever leave the mafia. You serve them till your last breath. 

If any member suddenly decides to leave, they are instantly killed by skilled assassins because they pose a threat for all the secrets they know.

And terrible though it sounded, an idea had begun to form in my mind.

"Yah, Bom! Get out of the bathroom!" Amber shouted as she slammed on the bathroom door. Bom had been showering for an hour. The three of us had moved into an apartment together. Bom's closet occupied half the floor space and Amber has insisted on parking her bike in the drawing room because it was too precious to be left in the 'lousy garage'.

Yeah, life was tough.

"Wait! I need to think some things over!" Bom shouted back.

"The shower is not a place to think!" Amber rolled her eyes, "Get the hell out or I'm breaking down this door!."

"The shower is a place to think, actually," I commented absent-mindedly.

"And what have you been writing in your diary for so long?" Amber said as she made a grab for it. I held it above her reach and shook my head teasingly. Finally Bom stepped out of the bathroom in a pink bathrobe. A strong smell of rose and lillies filled the room.

"How much bath salts do you use?" Amber scrunched her nose and went in. Bom simply gave a dry smile and avoided her eyes. As Amber disappeared, Bom came and sat by me on the bed.

"You busy?" she asked in a low voice.

"Uh, not really," I stopped writing in my diary and looked up. And was shocked. For the first time in forever, I was looking at a not-so-confident Bom. Her eyes seemed swollen, like she had been crying and she had scrubbed off all her makeup. She looked like a baby girl in desperate need of protection. Forgetting whatever I had been writing, I went over and taking her hand, asked, "Bommie, what's wrong?"

She sniffed and said, "Oh, Minah you have to promise not to tell anyone!"

"Of course I won't," I nodded, getting worried.

"You see, yesterday, I stopped by - omo, I can't tell you! This is so embarassing!" She squealed and covered her face.

"Bom, c'mon," I said.

"Okay, just don't judge me?"

"I won't," I promised. Her hesitation was making me worry.

"So yesterday I went over to visit a friend from YG," she began.

"Dara noona?" I asked.

"Yes," Bom nodded, "I've known her long. So I went into the reception area. Dara was in the Recording Room," Bom started sniffing again.

"And?"

"And well, GD and TOP oppa were also there," Bom said.

"This is about TOP oppa, isn't it?" I guessed. Bom had had a crush on TOP since forever. It was a pity she had joined SM because inter-company dating was still unheard of except for Tiffany and Nickhun.

"Yes, it's about him," Bom admitted.

"Go on," I prodded. Now it was getting interesting.

"So, TOP and I have known ech other for...five years, okay? And you know how I've always felt about him. But he never showed the slightest interest in me in that way. He simply regarded me as a friend. Yesterday Dara was recording a song for her drama when suddenly Kwon came and asked GD and Dara to go meet the CEO."

"They left you and TOP alone in the Recording Room?" My eyes widenened.

"Yes," Bom nodded, "And...and suddenly TOP and I, we were sititng on the sofa. Dara had been singing a song called 'Kiss' and suddenly TOP leaned forward and said, 'You know, I was the one who wrote that song'. I was surprised but I simply congratulated him but then he said that he had written the song for me!"

"Whaaaaattt!?!" I fell of the bed, "Say what?"

"But that's not it!" Bom said, "Then he leaned forward and kissed me!"

It took me around ten minutes to get myself under control because I had been rolling on the floor like mad. They kissed? Bom and TOP kissed? Should I be happy? Why is Bom sad anyway? Doesn't she like TOP?

"So, why're you crying?" I asked.

"Because he's playing with me!" Bom wailed, "Don't you see? Oppa already has so many girls, why would he even think about me? But then he suddenly gets all flirty and kissed me?! Then  suddenly GD came back so I couldn't say anything and TOP pretended as if nothing had happened! He continued recording and analysing and didn't even look at me even once!"

"That's bad," I said. I always thought TOP was a gentleman. He shouldn't be playing with a girl's feelings, especially someone who's had a crush on him for so long.

"I'm sad because...Oh I wish he had never kissed me. It gives me so much false hope!" Bom wailed and I could do nothing but hug her, my dairy lying forgotten in a corner.

Minah's Diary :

Dear Cookie,

Today, a terrible idea came to my mind today. Sehun said his brother had fallen into the Mafia's hands but later on, they simply let him go. YunJi found out about it and used it to blackmail him into a reltionship.

Doesn't it all seem a little too convenient to you, Cookie?

So here's what I think. YunJi knew that Sehun had a younger brother, since they grew up together. So she bribed some of the mafia men to somehow brainwash Sehun's brother into being a member of the mafia. A few years later, she told them to let him go and ordered them to not harm him. She's the daughter of Asterix's head so she surely must have a lot of power.

And then she used it to manipulate Sehun. So what if fooling his brother was a part of her plan? What if she had been planning it all along to capture his brother in this way so that she could use it to blackmail Sehun later on? What if YunJi herself ordered Sehun's broher to be brought in?

You get my drift? She had planned it all along. She knew Sehun would anything to save his family's name. She used his own brother against him! But I'm just speculating. I'll have to find some solid evidence before I can reveal it to anyone. I feel so bad, I wish I could slap her, but Dad says I have to be good 'cuz she might hold the key to who is spreading all these rumours.

Ah, Bom is coming over here. Omo! She looks sad. Better go.

Love,
Minah.

Author's Note:

I'm so sorry but I simply had to include BOM x TOP! I really can't think of anyone else to pair her up with but if you don't like it, I can change it, haha.

So let me know if you're okay with Bom x TOP, if not, please leave suggestions :)

Thanks for letting the story reach 200 reads. You're awesome! <3
