The Unexpected

Seul-gi: 20

He stopped kissing me after a few minutes and went inside the bathroom. I swear I was out of my mind. What did I just do? But then again, I needed to assure him that even though my body is in physical pain, I'm aware that he never tried hurting me mentally and emotionally.

I lied down and stared at the ceiling. I suddenly remembered how we started out. We had a bad start. He was used by a crazy woman, and I was gullible. But now, we're here, we're happy. Are we really? If he's gonna ask me if I'm happy, no doubt, I'm overjoyed. But with him, I'm not so sure.

I mean, we're not even together officially, but I am already giving him a hard time. Watching over a clumsy girl like me, taking care of me, putting up with my stupidity. What have I done to him? Is he really happy being with me? I hope so, because when it comes to him, I am really selfish.

I opened my eyes to the smell of eggs and hotdogs cooking. I went outside and saw two cups of coffee on the table. Sehun was wearing a grey shirt and pajamas. I sat down and ate the toast on the plate. When he turned around, I smiled at him, and he frowned.

"You should've told me you're already awake." He said and went back to his cooking.

"I'm good." I said and kept on eating the toast.

After cooking, he sat down and ate. I smiled looking at him. I stood up and went to the fridge to get some water. When I sat back, I saw him, still frowning at me. I really don't get what's making him so mad. Is it because I went here? Was he planning a surprise? I'm so dumbfounded right now.

"What?" I finally blurted out.

He sighed, then looked at me. "You never told me it was you who sold the shares to my parents."

"What?" I struggled to remember. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Frontliners Inc." He said, and I suddenly remembered about me selling some of my shares to someone.

"But I sold it to a woman." I said.

"Yeah, my mom." He was still frowning.

Come to think of it, I never really did a background check on my client. "Is that a bad thing?"

He cleared his throat. "Not really. It's good... But... why didn't you tell me?"

"I'll be completely honest with you..." I said and drank my coffee. "I never really did a background check on who my client was.

"Wait, what?" I saw amusement and astonishment in his eyes.

"I didn't want to be in New York. And besides, I just sold my shares so my relatives would suffer." I said frankly, and he just laughed at me.

"You're unbelievable." He finally said before getting up to do the dishes.

Does Sehun work? I've never heard him say "I need to go to work" or even talk about work-related stuff. I mean, I pretty much know now that his family is busy with the company now that his mom is the biggest shareholder. But aside from that, he's practically still a stranger to me. Well, not really, but you get the idea.

I went to the door and accidentally overheard his conversation with someone. I know whose voice was that. I know, but I'm not sure if I remember his name correctly.

"All this time, I thought I never knew who the other guy was. When it was you? All along?" This was Sehun's voice.

"Man..." The other guy was silent for a while. "I didn't know how to tell you. And... just let this go. You have Seul-gi."

"That's not the problem, here, Minho... The thing is... You're dating your own cousin. That's disgusting."

"I love her, and she loves me."

"Dude, wake up! This is not dreamland. This is reality."

I suddenly felt my head hurt from what I heard. It hurts so much, I think it's gonna break. I crawled to the table so I could lift myself up. I don't know where the medicine is, but I'll find it.

I heard people running towards the door, and I felt someone supporting my weight before I could fall to the floor. I looked at the person who went to the medicine cabinet and gave me my painkillers. It was still blurry, but I know I could smell Sehun's perfume.

When I regained my sight, I saw who the person was. It was the guy from the hospital. What's he doing here? I quickly stood up, him still helping me, and I smiled at him.

"I'm sorry." I said and sat down. "I caused too much trouble in one day, right?" I looked at Sehun and he held my hand.

"Are you okay?" He ignored my statement.

"I am now." I said, wiping the sweat on my temples.

"What happened?" This time, it was the guy who asked me.

"I... remembered things." I slowly said, and looked at him. "I remember you in a club..."

I saw Sehun frown again. "Club? You met in a club?"

"You grabbed my hand forcefully." I saw him turn his head the other way.

"What the fuck is going on!?" Sehun angrily asked the other person.
