The Aftermath || oh sehun || pt. 2

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Aira's P.O.V.

We left our soaking black umbrellas (due to the rain) beside the doorway before Sehun and I got in. He removed his shoes, and I removed my flat black sandals.

Sehun was trailing behind me; I can even feel him staring at me as we continue walking.

Once we reach the living room, I saw Chanyeol and Baekhyun on the couch and Jongin, on a separate sofa, while his wheelchair is placed at the corner of the room.

"Hey, it's them." Chanyeol said when he saw us, and the other two shifted their attention to us.

Baekhyun stood up, and approached us. "You're soaking wet!" He said. "Go upstairs and change your clothes. You may catch a cold after."

"We'll just call you if dinner is ready." Jongin said, smiling.

I nodded my head, and went upstairs. I walked before Sehun again.

Sehun and I haven't said a word today. I'm emotionally exhausted, maybe that's why.

When I reached my room, Sehun stopped as well. I can feel him at my back as I twist the doorknob and pushed it open. I got into my room and was about to shut it again when Sehun grabbed the doorknob and entered as well.

"I need to change my clothes. If you mind, please get out." I told him as I pretend to clean the invisible dust on the study table, so I don't have to face him.

"Are you mad at me? He asked, quite confused.

"No. . . I-I just need some time alone." I told him.

I can hear Sehun's footsteps getting closer to where I'm standing. He reached for my hand and spin me around, facing him this time but I didn't look at him. He placed his other hand at the back of my torso.

I put my hand on Sehun's chest and gently pushed him, releasing me from himself. "Sehun, I'm not in the mood for this, okay? I want to be alone."

He nodded, and slowly walked towards the door. "Alright, sorry.", he said then exited.

I sighed and sat on the bed. I stared at the floor for a few second, then clenched the hem of my black dress as I began sobbing again. "I'm such a bad friend. . ." I mumbled to myself. "I'm so sorry, Eunji and Bomi. . . I'm sorry I couldn't do anything to save you. . ." I sobbed that I hardly catch my breath.

-------------------------

That night when Eunji called, Sehun and I immediately went to get them.

We got inside his car and as we're buckling our seatbelt, Sehun asked me, "Did they tell you where are they?"

"They don't, but I'm sure they're still in the school."

"What are they doing there at this time of the night?" He asked.

"They're part of a school's organization, so they often get home late." I explained. "Drive already! Tao is killing them!" I yelled in panic.

Then, Sehun started the engine and steered the car.

Once we reached the school, Sehun parked the car in front of the gates, then we got off the car.

"It's pretty dark." I said.

"Yeah." Sehun said then walked towards the gates. He tried opening it and joggling it, but it's locked. "It's no use, it's locked."

I sighed.

"But we can climb up." He added with a smirk, so I beamed and nodded.

I got to climb first and Sehun was behind me, giving me assistance.
