First Love | EXO Fanfiction (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 1

"So... I think it's about time you meet the guys."

Mina looked away from her laptop so fast her neck could've snapped. She tried to keep her face as neutral as possible despite her churning stomach and the growing lump in her throat. That was the last thing she wanted to hear from him.

"Well, you don't look excited." He huffed when she didn't answer him right away.

Leave it to Sehun to act this way. She let out an irritated sigh. "It's just... isn't it a bit early, Sehun?"

"Early?!" His eyebrows nearly rose off of his face "Babe, we've been together for almost half a year now. I think it's only fair you get to meet them and all. They've been asking about you anyway."

"You told them about me?" She narrowed her eyes in disgust. He promised he wouldn't tell them about me yet!

"Woah, calm down." Sehun rolled his eyes. "I just told Junmyeon, and then Jongdae figured out about it somehow. No one else knows. I promise."

"We agreed that our relationship was going to stay a secret-"

"Yeah, I know, but that was when we first started dating." A devilish smirk suddenly lined his lips. "Come on! Admit it! We both had no idea if we were going to even last one week together."

"Sehun!"

"OK, sorry." He held his hands up in surrender. "But you know, eventually they're all going to find out. We can't keep this a secret forever." His expression darkened. "Maybe from the fans and the public, but not from my friends."

She looked away from him as she bit her lip, wishing that she could just escape this conversation. She didn't want to meet Sehun's group members, not because she thought they were just a group of rowdy men, but there was one specific person she wanted to avoid.

His name was Byun Baekhyun, and they both attended the same middle school and high school together. He was that annoying, bratty kid that always interrupted the teacher to make lame jokes and put bugs in the girls' hair, but Mina found him attractive. She didn't believe in love at first sight until she met him.

"Hey... Do you want to share my lunch box with me?"

Mina glanced up from her phone to find a boy staring down at her, his black hair nearly covering his eyes. She wondered why he was talking to her, but that thought was quickly overrun by how handsome he was.

"Are you deaf?" Mina knew the question was meant to be mean, but his tone was softer, more as if he was embarrassed by her lack of response. He cleared his throat as he glanced towards the windows that showed off the main hall of the school. A few boys were peeking in the window, giggling at the scene before them.

"I... yes we can share." She began blushing as he pulled up a chair to sit beside her at her desk.

"How come you never bring a homemade lunch?" he asked after a moment of silence. He carefully opened his lunch box, yet his eyes never left hers.

She shrugged her shoulders, feeling uncomfortable under his gaze. "Don't have the time to make one in the morning."

"Everyone has time."

"I don't have a mom to help me out."

Baekhyun's eyebrows creased as he took in the information. "Oh... I'm so sorry...I ... I didn't know..."
