WHAT IF

What If - Chapter 14

SEJEONG

"I so regret saying yes to this," I said frustratedly while I change into the sixth dress Wendy handed me. I know that's nothing knowing other girls change and look for countless types of dresses I can't even count in my hand.

This is the fourth store we've been to today. Don't get me started with the stores and stand-alone boutiques we went to the last two days. Wendy was literally dragging me to this store her eyes full of determination to look for the perfect dress as she remarked.

"Wends, let's go with this and finish this up" I yelled through the fitting room, knowing we have to look for a shoe once we get the quote and quote perfect dress.

"Well see. If the dress screams, I'm the one then we can go and look for shoes after, I can't wait for that as well." Wendy answers back, making me grunt in return.

I stepped out of the fitting room looking at Wendy, and I swear I've been casting prayers since earlier to hear her approval.

"Wends please, they all look the same to me. This looks good already." I say pleadingly.

Wendy motions her index finger for me to turn, when I turned to face her again, she was already looking at the rack of dresses. I huff rolling my eyes.

"Oh! This one, this is beautiful and I think this is it!"  Wendy squealed, turning and handing me a black dress with fringe at the ends.

I stare back at her. Channeling the most pitiful I can pull but she just shooed me away with her hands.

I turned my heel going back inside the fitting room. 

Looking at the mirror I was surprised to see how the dress looks perfect in me. It was just simple but the fit hugs my body perfectly and the fringe at the end adds some character to the dress, and for some reason gives the illusion, making my legs look longer.

I step out of the curtain and as soon as Wendy sees me, I can see her eyes beaming.

"Oh my gosh! This is so it, Sej this dress screams you! I already know what shoes to look for and what to do with your hair. Sehun would definitely go crazy when he sees you!"

I blushed at what she said. I can almost feel my cheeks turning into a shade of pink. The past few weeks I've been feeling all sorts of things when Sehun was around me. Whenever he is closed I could feel my breathing hitch, my body warming up with the proximity and before I know it I was almost always breathless from holding my breath.

Suddenly feeling a pair of eyes shooting me a glare. I look back at Wendy and she had this annoying toothy grin.

"What?"  I spoke.

"Jesus, you like him. Don't you?"  Wendy said.

"What?" I said astounded. And I can feel my heart beating erratically.

Wendy is smiling at me with her signature I know it, look. And oh god, I don't even know what's gotten into her.

"Sej, I know you. I know how close you two are but this past month I can see the unspoken chemistry between the two of you screaming so loudly."

I furrowed my eyebrows trying to understand what she was saying. 

"Wendy, can you not? Sehun and I are just good friends."

"What if he doesn't see you just a friend?" Wendy asks.

What if? The words repeating in my head and I could feel my heart, beat crazy and loud. I shake my head regaining myself. 

"I don't think so Wends and I don't .... like him" I answered back sounding more like a question my voice breaking unconfidently.

"Whatever Sej, you sound so unsure I think you're not convinced with your answer as well. Sometimes you're just so oblivious."  She says back shaking her head, smirking.

I stare back at her not knowing what to say so I turned my heel and went back to the fitting room to change into my clothes. 

I look at staring back at myself in the mirror replaying what Wendy had asked me.

My breath stilled, my heart accelerating.

"Wends, can we just skip the skincare, foundations, and other steps?" I asked, making Wendy stare at me dumbfoundedly.

"Are you seriously asking me that? Sej this ain't just a house party it's a fricking gala by Esteem." She said back and I can see her nose and ears steaming from frustration.

I held up my hands as if in surrender and sighed. "Yeah, I know I was just asking," I said pouting at her.

"I won't let you get into a war without the proper combat."

"Gosh, Wends seriously your train of thoughts," I said laughing.

She stares at me with a furrowed brows "It's a war Sej, imagine all those models in one room. I can't let you go unprepared, but you're already gorgeous so don't worry I'll just have to enhance your features and make you stunning."

Her eyes sparkling and making me smile with the compliment.

An hour went by and I am so thankful to Wendy but I want this to be done I can feel my back aching from every minute that passed. Suddenly the bell rings and I suddenly feel like I am saved by the gods.

"I'll go get and check that," I said hurriedly, but Wendy's hand is already in my shoulder blocking me from standing up.

"Nope, we're not done yet with your hair. So just stay seated I don't want you to ruin it." She said making me slouched back in defeat.

She turned her heel towards the door but right before passing the door she looked back. "Don't touch anything Sejeong, just stay still!" 

"Ugh! Yes, mom!" I said rolling my eyes and I slouch back again careful not to ruin my hair.

I could hear the door open and lock again and shuffling of feet before I hear Wendy speak "Sehun, we're almost done just wait a bit more I'm just finishing Sejeong's hair."

And with the mention of Sehun's name, I felt my body jolt in alert feeling jittery. 

//What you guys think would be Sehun's reaction when he sees Sejeong in a dress? And I got you guys a little skinship just a little bit on the next chapter so look forward to that. 😉
