제 19 장: A Break

THIRD PERSON P.O.V.

"Haneul," Sehun called out in sympathy, patting her back.

Haneul was laying in bed, crying her eyes out, face down on her pillow. "WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!" She yelled at him, finally looking at him.

Sehun yelled out, frightened. He hasn't seen Haneul's face since she laid down, and now that he thinks about it, he wish he hadn't. Her eyes were puffy and red while her hair was a birds nest. D.O was not home and it was mysterious. His schedules start tomorrow. Since D.O wasn't there, Sehun volunteered to check on Haneul.

"L-Listen Haneul," He chuckled nervously.

"My best friend has a crush on my crush, what am I supposed to do?"

With that sentence, Sehun grew a smirk. He knew exactly who Yeon Ah was and who's best friend she is. He knew what Yeon Ah wants.

Haneul looked at Sehun's face, seeing a devious smirk. "Stop doing that." She said quietly.

"You have a crush on D.O?" He evilly said, while pointing at her.

"H-How... HOW DID YOU KNOW?!" She barked, getting ready to hit him with a pillow. "Oh Sehun, YOU BETTER TELL ME!"

Realizing that she doesn't know everything about Yeon Ah, he awkwardly faked a cough. "I was just assuming."

She stared at the younger boy, suspiciously. They both had a staring contest with electricity bouncing back and forth between their eyes. Then suddenly, Sehun jolted up.

"Aha! Why don't you take a break! With me!" He smiled.

She looked unconvinced and stared down thoughtfully.

"I'll be taking Vivi for a walk since he's over today and it looks like... You could use some fresh air?"

She pursed her lips and nodded. "I do need some fresh air..."

"So it's settled!" Sehun stood up and put his hands on his waist. "But first, please freshen up first. I'll be waiting downstairs."

Haneul was completely oblivious to her state, that is, until she confronted her mirror.

Sehun from downstairs heard a scream. He shook his head, knowing that it was probably for a stupid reason.

After a while, Haneul happily jumped downstairs with gazes facing towards her. Not everyone was home since some had to practice for their dramas and OST's.

"Did you hit your head or something? Only a minute ago, you were as sad as Sadness from Inside Out and now you're as happy as Chanyeol." Sehun asked, eying her smile and jumpy self.

"The thought about fresh air calms me." She stated and started skipped to the door.

Sehun just watched her with mixed emotions as she galloped. Confusion, amusement and fear. He eventually just shrugged and called Vivi over. Once they were all set with shoes, money and a leash in hand, they made their way to the park.

Sehun placed his mask and hat on as soon as they hit the cold breeze of the outdoors.

"Sehun, have you ever had a crush?" Haneul asked, folding her hands and looked at Vivi running around.

"Of course not. Do you think, I, Oh Sehun would have a crush?" He snorted and played it off cool.

Haneul looked down at him playing with his fingers, then back up at him avoiding her gaze. "YOU DO!" She smirked.

"What's her name?"

"She doesn't have one."

"So she's imaginary?"

"That's enough Haneul~!" He whined and pouted. "And no, she's not imaginary. It was just puppy love, without any meaning."

"Your expression says other wise." Haneul stated.

Sehun's face was burning red.

"How did you meet her?" She asked, simply curious about the maknae's 'puppy love.'

"She was really annoying. It was back in high school. She wouldn't stop staring at me!" He complained and threw his arms in the air. "But she was really pretty." He quietly murmured.

"Is that it? She kept annoying you and you found that attractive. The end." Haneul chuckled at the little boy's experience.

"That was just recently. It's not that bad, right?" He asked as they continued walking.

"If you say so." Haneul chuckled again.

After a while of comfortable silence between the both of them, Haneul spoke, "My aunt's been saving up for a small apartment for the two of us and we've been receiving a lot of money this year, so I'll be moving out soon."

She moved her eyes from the front to Sehun, seeing that he was looking down in thought.

"I didn't tell anyone about this and Chanyeol was out with his schedules..."

"So now I'm secondary?" Sehun playfully said, trying to lighten up the mood.

"No, no! It's not like that!" She used her arms and made an 'X'.

He smiled genuinely and nodded. "I understand. It's just that you've been around us for a small, but long amount of time. I'm gonna miss you~!" He childishly said.

"I'll miss you guys too." She sighed.

"So..." Sehun began, unsure if he should ask this question. "When are you going to tell D.O?"

She paused for a minute or two before responding, "Soon."

At the dorm...

"Now that I think about it..." Kris spoke while facing the other three. "Baekhyun was telling me about how Yeon Ah knows about Haneul and us."

Kris, Luhan, Suho and Lay sat in their usual hangout, the living room. Luhan hummed in response, wondering where he was going.

"How did she find out though? Don't you think it's weird that Yeon Ah confronted Haneul right after the shooting?" He asked, frowning.

"Maybe you're just over thinking." Lay calmly suggested.

"But it does sound like something that we should investigate on." Suho said, nodding to his idea.

"Are we detectives now?" Luhan asked, laughing.

Lay suddenly raised his hand in the air, scaring the rest. "What if Yeon Ah was somehow there, watching?" He said, making sure emphasize the last word.

"I thought you said I was 'over thinking'?" Kris asked, making quotes with his fingers.

"There's no way, it's not like she has superpowers." Luhan scoffed and continued the cycle of redo and complete with his rubix cube.

"Maybe over the year, she became a hacker and hacked into the systems!" Suho said, stroking his imaginary beard.

"Suho, I know you recently watched the movie with James Bond, but we aren't actually spies and I honestly doubt she has that kind of talent." Luhan laughed.

"I say we should investigate." Kris said slowly while crossing his arms.
