How to Unlove, osh (eng ver) [C]

Chapter 7 - Lean On Me

"And remember, no matter how bad your day is, it won't be too bad as there are still people who love you." Sehun pulled away and looked at Haebin's face which was red and wet with tears.

Throughout his life, Sehun thought the girl in front of him was one of the strongest people he had ever met. She rarely cried, so when she's like this, it made him realize that as strong as she could be, she was still a human being who could be hurt.

He was too occupied with his own problems that he never thought of her.

He was so busy crying when Sooyoung left him that he didn't realize that Haebin, the person who was always there for him, also just lost someone she loved.

Thinking about it just made him mad actually. He really wanted to go find Jongin and beat the hell out of him. How dare he do this to his friend?

Sehun didn't blame Haebin one bit because the girl lacked nothing. All blame should be put on Kim Jongin. Period.

"Bin-ah, I want you to know that I'm always here for you. Maybe these two or three days I'm like, out of my mind, but for you, I can put everything aside. So if there's anything, just come straight to me and let it all out." Sehun continued his words and smiled, wiping Haebin's tears with his thumb.

"You can trust me, Haebin. You can lean on me."

****

"Thank you, hyung." Sehun hung up before sitting on the chair facing Haebin. He smiled as he watched the girl who had finally calmed down.

Haebin had stopped crying a few minutes ago and although her eyes were still a bit puffy, at least they were not red anymore.

"Bin, guess who was on the phone just now?" Haebin raised her head, looking at the boy with confusion written on her face.

"It's Chanyeol hyung," Sehun said, making the girl's eyes widen.

"Park Chanyeol? Why did you call him?"

"It's regarding Sooyoung's matter." Sehun sighed loudly, thinking hard whether he wanted to continue the conversation or not. But, he had started, so no turning back anymore.

"You do know that Chanyeol hyung works at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, right?" Haebin just nodded her head several times.

"I asked him for help to..." Sehun trailed off. He was at a loss for words. Truthfully, even he himself felt like what he was doing was unreasonable.

"Track, I mean, find Sooyoung." He finally finished his sentence, looking at Haebin to see her reaction.

Although Haebin quickly changed her expression, he didn't fail to notice how the girl seemed to question his action. He definitely understood her for whatever she was feeling at the moment.

Sehun's being foolish and he knew it. But, for Sooyoung's sake, he's more than willing to be stupid. If it was Haebin in Sooyoung's place, he would do the same thing.

After his mother passed away, the two girls were the only women in his life who he really loved and trusted.

"Do what you think is the best, Hun. I will always support you." Haebin said after a while, probably noticing how uncomfortable Sehun was. Her lips formed a sweet smile, making the boy unintentionally smile as well.

"You know what, Haebin? This isn't about what I want to believe or not." Sehun suddenly spoke up.

"I just want to know the truth." After that, they went silent, enjoying their drinks while watching the streets outside which were filled with people.

Beautiful.

Call him weird or mental, but Sehun was the type that liked to watch people moving. The way they move and the reason they move. For him, humans' actions were something interesting to look at.

"Hun," His train of thought was stopped when he heard Haebin's voice calling. He shifted his gaze from the cafe window to the girl's round eyes.

"Yes?"

"Help me." The girl said in a small voice.

"Is something wrong? Just tell me. I'll help you as much as I can." Sehun replied honestly.

"I want to forget Jongin." Her request made him smile sadly.

His eyes trailed on her as he couldn't believe that Haebin was asking him for help because, since the beginning of their friendship, it was always him who bothered her for help.

Now, the situation was reversed.

Sehun looked at the girl in front of him who suddenly seemed so fragile and needed to be protected. Maybe it was time for him to respond to all the good deeds that she had done for him.

"How about I spend time at your house for a few days?" He suggested, eyebrows raising.

****

Waves of laughter erupted through Haebin's usually quiet and peaceful apartment.

Sehun wiped the happy tears that formed in his eyes. The two friends were watching a comedy film and one of the scenes just had to be so funny.

"Next movie?" Sehun asked as he picked up the empty snack packaging and soda cans that were all over the floor.

"You can look for a movie first, I'll go throw these out and get some another." He added as he saw Haebin who was still in her world, laughing.

Just as he was about to get up, a blanket suddenly wrapped around him, stopping him from moving further.

Sehun turned to Haebin, the one who just threw the blanket over him. The girl was looking at him without any expression.

"Yes?"

"Stay, please." Haebin's reply made him let go of everything he was holding at the time as he sat down again.

Sehun turned to his side, silently watching the girl who calmly closed her eyes as she leaned on his shoulder. He immediately relaxed his shoulder, letting her rest comfortably.

"I can always lean on you, can't I?" He heard Haebin ask quietly.

He smiled as his hand automatically went up to her head, stroking her soft hair.

"Always."
