First Love | EXO Fanfiction (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 14

Mina couldn't stop checking the clock on her phone as she sat in her car waiting for Baekhyun to get out of practice. She knew it was risky and she could get caught by him or his security, but it was important to take the risk versus staying silent. She needed to help him.

She saw several of the other members leave the studio nearly an hour ago. She counted six of them, but she knew that three were missing.

Sehun. Baekhyun. And that really tall one. She checked the time on her phone again. 11:36 PM.

She pursed her lips as she continued to wait. Sehun wouldn't lie to me, would he? He wouldn't have told me what he told me last time if he was the one doing this... right?

Just as her suspicions began to rise, she heard voices coming from the entrance of the building.

"It's so weird isn't it?" Sehun's soft voice reached her ears.

"You shouldn't worry about him. Remember what he did to you?"

"Yeah but... I can't stop thinking about either of them, Chanyeol." His sigh was loud enough for Mina to hear. "Did she ever love me? Did she really use me to get back with him? I mean... for the longest she refused to even go see me perform, so she knew he was there. Why did she suddenly change her mind? Was I not good enough for her...?" He paused, his voice getting further and further away. "And it's crazy what she told me yesterday. I haven't seen Baekhyun get hurt while he was with us. Do you know what's going on?"

"Sehun, you're over thinking this, and why are you still talking to her?" Chanyeol sounded extremely annoyed. "If I was a girl, I'd want you as my boyfriend. You're so loyal, sweet, and caring... She was crazy to pick Baekhyun over you. He's so annoying and selfish! So quit worrying about them. Besides, doesn't one of the Red Velvet members like you anyway? What's her name? She's been sending you all kind of signals, and talking about you on TV. Why don't you-"

"Because I can't stop thinking about... Mina... no matter how much it hurts. You don't get what it feels like to be so in love with someone to only have that taken away."

Mina's heart sunk as their conversation faded out of her hearing range. Was that why he caught up with me yesterday? He still cares...

Before she could get caught up in Sehun's remaining feelings for her, she heard a new deeper and louder voice.

"You think you're so special don't you?" A man sneered.

"I never said that." Baekhyun suddenly appeared in view.

Mina swallowed, hoping they wouldn't notice a strange car parked on the street. She ducked lower in her seat in case they looked her way.

"Actions speak louder than words, Byun. Look, we discussed this before and this is the last time I'll tell you: You're running this group into the ground."

"It's not my fault!" Baekhyun snapped. "I can't control other people's feelings!"

"Look at you! Trying to talk back to your senior." The man slapped Baekhyun before grabbing his chin harder than he needed to. "I thought we taught you better than that?"

Mina sunk lower in her seat when the man looked all around before speaking again. "I'm going to tell you one last time: Get rid of that bitch or we will."
