Safe Heaven

Chapter 9

Saturday came quicker than Krystal expected. She wakes up that morning to a flick on her forehead, and she frowns when her eyes met with Sehun's brown ones. "Rise and shine babe, time to go." She looks at the clock on the wall and groans. "It's 7 in the morning and that God damn dinner isn't due till 7 in the evening." Pulling the duvet over her face, she groans and closes her eyes, immediately falling into deep sleep.

Krystal squeaks when she feels herself moving; Sehun had carried her all the way to the bathroom. He gently placed her into the glass cubicle and turns the shower on before pushing her towards the ceramic walls of the bathroom. He gazes deeply into her eyes before muttering onto her lips, "Make it quick. See you outside in 15."

Sehun runs a thumb above his lips and turns around to leave the shock-stricken Krystal. She was soaked wet from head to toe and was currently shivering due to his sudden movements. The glass cubicle creaks, alarming Krystal that someone was present. Sehun walks in and presses her against the wall once again to give her a tender kiss. He pulls away and rests his head against hers. "Did I hurt you anywhere?" He asks, genuinely concerned. Krystal gives him an eye smile and shakes her head.

He licks his lips and nod. "Take your time. I'll be out waiting."

Once they equipped their tummies with breakfast, Sehun drives to a place that Krystal had never seen of. An hour later they finally arrived at their destination, and her eyes widen upon seeing the mansion. Her one back at California was bigger but she didn't expect Sehun to be this rich. He had filled her in earlier in the car that they were going to meet his mom. He smiles at her once they both got out of his car.

Krystal nervously smiles back. "She'll love you, don't worry." He assures her and enters the mansion.

Upon entering, the lined up butlers and maids immediately bows to their superior, welcoming the "Young Master" home. They headed to the living room where a sophisticated woman was settled, and Sehun takes a seat across her on the sofa to catch her attention.

"Ma." Sehun presses, trying to gain her attention.

"Finally home, I see. Not out lurking somewhere with your fri-" Mrs Oh halts to a stop upon seeing a fine young lady seated gracefully next to her son. Her frown turns upside down. "And who may this be? I say, you never bring a woman home before Sehun-ah. Have you've made babies yet?" She rushes, making the young adults seated before her blush.

"UMMA!" Sehun whines, one that Krystal found cute. She bows at Mrs Oh and says, "Pleasure to meet you Mrs Oh, I am Krystal Jung."

"The pleasure is mine. Ah, Sehun you have come here to ask for my help for tonight's gala isn't it?" Mrs Oh smirks, catching Sehun's bait quickly.

"Yes umma, you see, Krystal doesn't like shopping so I guess I should cut down hours of her misery and bring her to you instead."

Mrs Oh raised a brow. "Never have I came across a girl who's never liked shopping. Come on dear, let's leave Sehun alone and chat amongst ourselves." Carefully, she holds a grip onto Krystal and drags her upstairs to the master bedroom where all the dresses were kept. Krystal turns back and eyes Sehun worriedly. He gave her a naughty grin and winks before mouthing, "Have fun babe."

"Krystal, how long have you've known Sehun?" Mrs Oh asks randomly as she puts the make up on her. After hours of gossiping about Sehun and laughing over Sehun's baby pictures, they had finally found the perfect dress for Krystal and there they were, at the hairdresser, getting ready. "Around 3 weeks Mrs Oh."

"Dear, just call me umma will do." She smiles softly.

Krystal stares at her wide eyed and utters a small "umma".

"Do you love him, Krystal?"

Krystal doesn't says a word and continues to argue with her inner self. Did she really loved Sehun?

"Because from my eyes, I can already know that you mean the whole world to him." Mrs Oh says with a small sigh, making Krystal look up to her.

"That kid, he's never gotten the proper love from his father. His father was too busy working away, making his heart cold forever. I was waiting for someone like you to come along to open his heart once more."

"I..." Krystal pauses.

"Go on, dear." Mrs Oh presses.

"I was never a firm believer of love, but when it's with Sehun, I just want to love him. He took me in when I was just a stranger to him and the fact that he showered me with kindness after that; he made me believe in love."

Mrs Oh gave her a warm smile. "Sehun's outer appearance may seem cold, but he has the biggest heart."

"UMMA! Are you guys done yet?!" From below, Sehun's shouts can be heard.

Krystal and Mrs Oh shares a laugh. "Come on, you're ready. I just hope he won't drop his jaw down onto the ground though." Mrs Oh jokes.

Krystal looks at herself in the mirror and smiles. She looked just like her mom back then. Bowing as a sign of gratitude to Mrs Oh, she hugs her after that and walks out of the room.

Frustrated, Sehun turns around at the end of the stairs to shout for them again but halts when his eyes rest upon a figure that had looked like it descended from heaven. Ever so gracefully, Krystal walks down the stars with poise and takes her rightful place next to Sehun. His mouth was still hanging agape by the time she was next to him.

"Come on Sehun, umma says that she'll be late because your father has some business to do." Krystal says and curls a strand of her hair behind her ears before walking away from him in the annoying high pumps.

Sehun surprises her when he pulls her wrist towards him and plant a bold kiss onto her lips. Smiling he says, "You look stunning tonight." Krystal blushes and scans down his sleek black tuxedo. "You're not so bad either. Black looks wonderful for you." She retorts, eyes still on him.

"And black also happens to be your favorite color." He debates, wanting her to know his true intentions.

"And ... tuxedo also happens to come in black?" She raised a brow and laughs at him.

"Ah ... you're right. But they do come in different colors! I could have wore a pink one tonight!" He fights back with a pout, too cute for Krystal to not to resist.

"And embarrass yourself? Alright lover boy, let's go, your friends are probably waiting for us already."

"Our friends." He corrects.

"Fine, our friends. Can we go now?"

Sehun taps a finger onto his chin, to signal that he was thinking. "Give me a kiss here." He then taps onto his left cheek and continues, "Then we leave."

Krystal hesitantly looks up at him. With a small sigh she tip toes on her feet and grasp the back of his head to place a quick peck on his cheek but being the mischievous Sehun he was, he turns his head to the left and connected his lips with hers.

Sehun didn't pull away until his oxygen supply got cut off, his chest and hers moving up and down rapidly due to the sudden kiss. Feeling flustered, Krystal walks away from him, her cheeks deep red in color.

He had just stolen yet another kiss from her.
