Onism || Oh Sehun

Chapter 2: Welcome, Not-So-Stranger

Today was the day that Bravad-Oh officially opened.

Choi Jovelyn was donned in one of her cutest outfits, hair was curled, and makeup was done. In her hands, she held a simple, cloth bag that carried the chocolate cake and the canister of Mirasol-original hot tea, ready to give to the heir of Oh Corp. She was undoubtedly excited to meet the man face to face, as she had only seen his handsomeness in articles and news websites.

With her mind set on the goal, she crossed the street from her apartment complex, to the now opened, crowded store. It wasn't a surprise that it was already selling well on their opening day, the clothing chain was well-known to sell fashionable, cute clothes targeted for young women.

The longer Jovelyn stared at the brand new shop, made her want to spend a few dollars right now. She was nearly bursting with ecstasy at possible new outfits she now had easy access to, rather than having to take an hour long taxi ride to the mall that had the same store. Hopefully, her dear attractive neighbor can give her a lovely discount on the clothes.

She instantly shook away the tempting thought.

No, no, shopping was not her mission right now. If she were to check out the plethora of clothes, she could be in Bravad-Oh all day. Her shift at Azalea's Tea House would be long forgotten. She couldn't risk that.

"Alright, fighting, Jovelyn," she uttered to herself before entering the busy shop.

She nearly had to close her eyes the moment she walked in. The woman restrained herself, there were so much she wanted to get. From blouses to skirts to accessories, everything was calling out her name to be tried on, to be worn by the pretty lady. Jovelyn directed her vision away on the clothes and tried to find the man she was originally here for. Temptation can stop in its tracks right now.

To her surprise, another man came into view, approaching her with a welcoming aura of his own. A man she knew wasn't Oh Sehun. "Hello, welcome to the grand opening of Bravad-Oh, pretty lady. Please do take a look around and find something that suits you."

He looked... pretty, Jovelyn noted. But, nonetheless attractive, as well.

"Ah, actually, I'm not here to shop, I'm here to see Oh Sehun," she chimed, a charismatic smile to her glossed-pink lips. "I happen to be a neighbor of his and I made him a cake and tea to welcome him in the area."

"Oh really?" The man quipped with a perked brow. "Then I guess I should properly introduce myself to you. I'm Luhan, Oh Sehun's favorite hyung."

The brunette nodded her head in greeting. "Nice to meet you, Luhan-sshi, my name is Jovelyn. I hope I'll get to see more of you."

"Let me lead you to him then." Jovelyn followed the male towards the back of store, turning into a small hallway, and reaching a door. With a knock, Luhan let himself in, what looks to be, an office. The office being far more grand than what Jovelyn would expect for the shop. "Sehunnie, I brought a guest."

And there he was in his attractive glory.

Now that the girl have seen him in person, she can admit that pictures from the media doesn't come close to doing him justice. Seeing him with her very own eyes only encouraged her more towards her goal. She was instantly drawn to his every essence.

However, it wasn't the same ethereal feeling for the man. The moment Sehun met Jovelyn's eyes, a look of horror crossed his face. "Hyung, why are you bringing random people into my private office?!"

"She said she was your neighbor though," Luhan huffed to his own defense. "And it looks like she brought some goodies."

"That girl you brought in is the stalker I told you about."

The older male turned towards Jovelyn, his doe eyes wide in bewilderment. "Wait, are you really?"

Despite the accusation, the lass bared a warm smile, while setting the cake and tea onto Sehun's desk. "You must've mistaken me for my twin sister, Mirasol. My name is Jovelyn, I'm the... less awkward sister." The prominent scowl on the heir's face didn't falter, obviously not believing the bullshit.

With a sigh, Jovelyn took out her wallet from her purse and slipped out a worn-out photograph from its pocket. She showed the man the picture of the two sisters standing side by side from their freshman year of high school. She pointed at the one on the right. "See that one is me, and the other one is Mirasol. Do you believe me now?"

"Aw, dude, look, clear proof," Luhan pointed out. "But either way, it's not right of you to accuse her sister of being a stalker. If Jovelyn's this nice to bring us goodies, then this Mirasol must be too."

Sehun pursed his lips, not really pleased on how this conversation turned out. Jovelyn didn't mind, this was only their first meeting after all. She has all the time in the world to get the great Oh Sehun to warm up to her. She can be extra patient for him. "Please enjoy the cake and tea, they're delicious. And if you two want some discounted tea, go ahead and visit me at Azalea's."

"Azalea's?" Sehun murmured with an unwavering gaze.

"Mhm, it's just a couple shops away from here," the girl answered with a nod. She suddenly blinked, once realizing the amount of time that has passed since being there. "Omo, speaking of Azalea's, I'm going to be late for my shift if I don't go now. It was nice officially meeting you two, good luck on the rest of the first day. Please do come visit me sometime."

With one (surprisingly) flirtatious wink, Jovelyn finally left the office and the store.

Luhan turned towards the younger once sure the young woman was gone, a very amused smirk along his lips. "Wow, that girl really is something. I like her."

"Then woo her or something."

"But it looks like she's interested in you."

In response to that, Sehun just scoffed as he averted his attention back onto the documents he had to tend to. Opening days will always be one of the busiest. He didn't have time to waste on dating or hooking up. He had his own goals to achieve and some girl will not get in the way of that. "You already know me, hyung. Nothing's going to happen no matter what shit she does."
