Oh Wonderful Seoul

Chapter Sixteen

After the school day was done, I head over to Luhan's pet shop for my job shift!

Walking a couple blocks to the store, I head in, the sound of puppies growling and barking. Snuffles comes running towards me, prancing on my leg. "Hiya Snuffles! You miss me?" I smile, sitting down and ruffled his fur.

Snuffles barked, sticking his tongue out and licking my hand. I laugh, as I locked him back in his pen. "I'll save up money so I could buy you and keep you to myself!"

Luhan comes from the back of the shop. "Hello Hillary! Welcome to your first day of work!"

"Hello Boss!" I say, bowing down.

"Hillary you don't have to call me Boss, and don't bow. Just call me Luhan!" Luhan chuckles, biting a granola bar.

"If you say so." I nod. "So, what do I do first?"

"Well, there's nothing much really to do right now. I'm just eating these outdated granola bars. And business is going slow, so I'll close the shop early today."

"Okay...." I nod. I really don't know why Luhan is eating outdated granola bars, but the best idea is probably to not question.

Luhan looks down at his wrist watch. "Sehun is coming in with his girlfriend to get her a puppy for her birthday today."

"W-wait. Girlfriend, what are you talking about, he doesn't have a girlfriend." I said.

"What? He didn't tell you? I thought he brought her over to the dorm room a couple of times, you haven't met her yet?" Luhan asks.

Brought her over to the dorm. If he has, when I'm not around... What does that mean?!

I shook my head. "No."

"She's really pretty, I have to say, Sehun is lucky to have her!" he smiles.

I smile slightly. "I-I'm happy for him..."

Right? I am happy for him! Right?!

"Hey... What's wrong Hillary?" Luhan asks. "You seem down all of a sudden.. Wait.. Don't tell me do you like Se-"

"No! I don't!" I shout.

What? So what if Sehun has a girlfriend? Why should it matter to me and why should I even care?! Because I don't! Not even one slightest bit! He could go out with anyone he wants, sleep with whoever he wants, either he's gay or straight, he doesn't need my approval! Okay?!

"Hillary... Are you sure you don't like him.." Luhan says.

I sigh heavily, sitting on the counter. "I don't know. Really, I don't know. I'm just so confused. I don't know if I like him, I don't know if I hate him, I don't know what I feel about him. I really don't."

I felt this heavy feeling in my heart. Sehun and I didn't exactly have a "chemistry like relationship" going on, we were just enemies from back in grade school. And, I keep thinking back to that kiss we had.

I shook my head. That kiss probably meant nothing to him. He probably kissed a gazillion girls already and I'm probably the tenth gazillionth one who he kissed and didn't give a damn about.

Luhan joins me and sits on the counter. "Hillary... If it helps anyway, I could fake be your boyfriend."

"Huh?" the idea suddenly came through my head. "Why? I mean, I don't like him, there really is no reason to make him jealo-"

"Don't deny it. You like him Hillary. You two fight like couples, there's gotta be something going on! And as of for you two sharing a dorm room together, I don't know what goes on in that bed at night time." Luhan chuckles.
