Sparkling Closet [EXO One Shots]

[Sehun] Transient Fireworks

It was the day of my wedding. I should've been happy, right? I wasn't.

I was marrying the man I loved. But the question is : did he love me?

Oh Sehun. He was a jock, he rapped, he danced and needless to say, he had huge number of fans. I've known him since high school. And I've always liked him. A lot. But I was the type who admired him from far away. I never had the guts to confess or even go talk to him. Yes, I was that quite, nerdy kid who did all her homework and never stayed out after curfew.

So, it was a surprise when Sehun suddenly came upto me one day and asked, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

I was shocked to say the least. I was tongue-tied, hyperventilating. But before I could say anything, he ran a hand through his brown locks and said, "Look, don't get me wrong. It's just that I'm so tired of all these girls chasing me. The only way to stop them is to get into a committed relationship. I'm not really a relationship person but you seem like the type who won't be interested in me in that way."

"I do?" I asked stupidly, after finding my voice.

"Yeah, consider it a business deal," He smirked, "You get a hot boyfriend and I get rid of those bugs."

"Uh..." I was lost for a moment. This wasn't how I had envisioned my first relationship. I had hoped it to be with someone whom I loved and who loved me. But I was selfish, I didn't want to pass up on the chance. So I simply nodded as he smiled, gave me a thumbs up and walked away to join his friends.

~~~

That was five years ago. A month ago, he proposed. I was again shocked because I was expecting him to break up once school ended. I mean, he had never made a move, never initiated anything, we were simply like brother and sister. It was just me who kept falling harder for him.

I ended up saying yes. Because I wanted to spend my life with him. Self doubt haunted me. My best friend Gina (the only one who knew that our relationship was fake) kept telling me to break it off. But I was too deeply in love to back out.

Until today. Wedding jitters hit my system bad. Am I doing the right thing? Can I spend my entire life pining for someone who doesn't love me?

All these years, I had managed to convince myself that maye, just maybe, he too felt something for me. Now, I was not so sure.

I looked across the aisle to where he stood, in a tuxedo looking so maginificient. His hair carefully styled, his broad chest buttoned up in white. I wanted to cry.

"Don't worry, love conquers all," My Dad smiled as he linked hands with me. He doesn't know...

I walked up to the dais and Dad handed my hand to Sehun, adding in a low voice, "Take good care of her Sehun-sshi."

Sehun simply nodded as he looked at me. Our vows were said. The priest announced us a husband and wife, I hesitated for a minute before saying "I do" but I did say it in the end.

"You may now kiss the bride," the priest announced. This moment...

Our first kiss would be on our wedding day. How lame. My cheeks flamed as the crowd cheered snd some kids began to chant 'Kiss kiss'.

I looked at Sehun but his brows were knitted in frustration. He wasn't smiling. It broke my heart. Tentatively, I took a step forward but Sehun simply leaned over and gave me a small peck on the cheek.

I pulled back. The priest coughed and said, "Okay, that will do."

He didn't even kiss me on our wedding day. I was breaking inside.

~~~

It was night time. Everyone had gone home. The reception had ended and I was exhausted from meeting and greeting everyone. I was standing on the terrace of our home, leaning against the railing. We had just returned and I had not yet changed out of my wedding dress, through I had undone my hair so that it hung around my shoulder.

Sehun joined me and stood beside me.

"There's going to be fireworks," he said.

"You arranged for them?" I asked.

He nodded, "Just a little something." He smiled. His tie was missing and two of his buttons were undone. He looked gorgeous. It just made me sad. Mayeb it was because I felt so tired and drained, but without a warning tears started to roll down my cheeks. This wasn't the life I wanted.

"____?" Sehun looked at me alarmed, "Are you okay?"

I looked down and tried to hide my face but Sehun placed his arms on my shoulder and turned me around.

"____, please tell me what's wrong," he asked, concerned. I put his arm away and said, "Sehun, there's-there's something I want to ask. I wanted to ask since a long time."

"Go ahead."

"What am I missing, Sehun?" I choked, "All these years, I loved you so so much but you never even looked at me. I tried so hard to tell you what I felt but I always chickened out. And yet, I got married because I couldn't live without you. I didn't want to see you with someone else. But...why don't you love me? Why didn't you kiss me at the wedding? I-I can't live like this anymore. I-I love you so much but-"

Sehun placed a soft hand on my lips.

"Please, stop crying," Sehun pleaded as he placed his arms around me and leaned his forehead against mine.

"You're asking me why I didn't kiss you? Because I couldn't let your first kiss be infront of so many men. You're aksing me why I don't love you? Who even gave you that idea? Why do you think I proposed? Why do you think I decided to get married to you? So that I could spend the rest of my life with you. Do you know how badly I want to kiss you? But I always stopped myself, because you were so quiet. I thought you were not interested. You never said you liked me. I didn't want to be a pushover. Do you how hard it is to resist your lips?"

He ran a finger on my lips.

"Sehun..." I breathed softly.

"I love you, ____. I love you to the moon and back," he whispered.

"I love you too," I said softly. There, we finally said it. After so long. We knew what each felt.

"So?" He smirked looking into my eyes. Suddenly, the sky lit up in a hundred colours as the fireworks exploded creating a brilliant fusion.

"So..." I trailed off as finally, surprising even myself with my boldness, I tiptoed and placed my lips against his.

"Sassy girl," Sehun whispered as he gave in.
