First Love | EXO Fanfiction (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 9

Removing her belongings from Sehun's place was terrifying, but finding a new place to live was even scarier.

My dad lives on the other side of the country, and there's no way I can live at the office. Mina wiped at her nose as she sat in her car outside of Sehun's apartment. Luckily he wasn't home, but had left her a rude note on a pile of her clothes he had carelessly collected on their bed.

His dick is smaller than mine so have fun.

It was so juvenile that Mina should've just ignored it and maybe laughed, but for some reason it made her cry. Not because it was true, but because she knew how upset, hurt, and betrayed Sehun must've felt. He wasn't good at conveying his emotions to her or anyone else, and she knew that was his only way to get across to her he hated her and Baekhyun's guts. She wanted to somehow make it better between them, but she knew there was no way she could talk to him now.

I should've never cheated on him. She stared at his number on her phone as it started to rain. She knew he wouldn't even bother to pick up, but at least she could leave him a message.

Is it worth it though? He hates me now. He's not going to want to hear from me, but maybe... maybe I can make it hurt less? She chewed on her bottom lip as the rain picked up, banging against her windshield and the metal of her car with loud pops.

I'll do it. She hit the call button by his name, not at all surprised when his voicemail came up.

"Hey... Sehun. It's me... I know I'm the last person you want to hear from, but... I'm sorry. I never wanted us to end up this way, and I never wanted to hurt you either." She paused, taking in a deep breath. "You don't ever have to talk to me again, but I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry. I'm not begging you to take me back or to forgive me. I shouldn't have done what I did to you... You deserve better and... I hope you find that special someone..."

She pulled the phone from her face and clicked the end call button, knowing that would be the last time she'd ever use his number. Sadness bubbled up inside of her, threating to spill over, but she wiped the tears away as she focused on her next task.

I should've known what I was getting myself into anyway.

Let's hope this goes well. Mina stood outside of his door, combing her fingers through her dripping wet hair and hoping he didn't have a schedule right now. She had no idea where she'd go next, and she was counting on him to be her savior.

It was only a few seconds later when all her fears dissipated.

"Mina?" Baekhyun raised his eyebrows as soon as he opened his door. "What are you... What are you doing here?" His shock was apparent as he looked her drenched frame over. "And what happened to you?"

"I could ask you the same." Her tone was bitter and she wished she could take it back by the way he furrowed his eyebrows.

But it's true. He looks... terrible. Mina gave him a once over. His hair was barely combed, he looked like he hadn't slept in ten years, and the discoloration around one of his eyes confirmed that he and Sehun had gotten into it once again.

"Your ex has one hell of a punch," was all he murmured.

"I'm sorry..."
