First Love | EXO Fanfiction (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 3

Her plans had completely backfired. Mina just couldn't stop thinking about him no matter how hard she tried. He even filled her dreams now, sweeping her off of her feet like he used to in the old days. When Sehun left early the next morning for work, she couldn't stop herself from answering Baekhyun's message. In the days that followed, she barely hesitated to answer any other messages he sent even though she knew Sehun would be very upset if he ever caught her. Sehun was a jealous man, and he would not allow her to talk to any other man in private beside himself.

She absentmindedly drummed her fingers on the dining room table after cooking dinner. She knew Sehun would be home any minute now and time was of essence as she read the last message Baekhyun had sent her.

You're wondering about me too, aren't you? We can meet up... if you want.

Just as she began typing an answer, she heard the key in the door. She quickly closed out of the messages when the front door swung open, revealing a very exhausted Sehun.

"Hey baby," he sung, a wry smile lining his lips.

"Long day?" She returned his smile.

"Yeah. Very long." His eyes narrowed suddenly as he looked her over. "What've you been up to?"

"I just finished making dinner-"

"No, I mean... You looked startled when I came in."

"Oh, I was just reading one of those scary comics you had sent me a while ago. Those ones that move as you scroll down the page." She swallowed, hoping he wouldn't see through the lie. Sehun was a very observant person, and even harder to manipulate.

"You're just now reading that?" He snorted.

"We're both busy people, Hun."

"That we are..." He let out a sigh as he approached her. "So... I was thinking about something today."

She turned to face him. "And what would that be?"

"Would you actually like to come see me perform tomorrow night? You're off tomorrow, and I don't know... I just thought we could do something together..." His voice became quieter and quieter as he spoke, his eyes not even meeting hers by the end of his sentence.

He's going to think I'm going to say no like I always do. She tilted her head to the side, trying to get her boyfriend to meet her eyes. "So is this one of those concert dates you kept bringing up to me?"

"I... yeah, maybe," he stuttered as he began to blush. "I mean, you don't have to come if you don't want to. I get how everything can be overwhelming-"

"No. I'll come."

Sehun's eyes finally met hers. He tried to hide his smile, but it was too big to contain. "Mina, you're joking, right?"

"No, seriously I'll come, Hun." She stood to her feet, leaving a quick kiss on his lips. "Now come eat dinner before it gets cold." She smoothed the front of his shirt before twirling away to head towards the kitchen to hide her smile as well.

She wanted to see Sehun perform since she never had to chance to while they were dating, but she also wanted to see someone else. She knew Baekhyun would be there, and just maybe they could talk again.
