I'm Arranged To Oh Sehun || EXO

Fourteen

Sae

There I was, sitting in an airplane, hoping all that happened would disappear like thin air. I wouldn't be rushing back hastily to Korea as angry fans of Sehun probably waited for me at the airport to cut my neck off. I wouldn't have my best friend almost go into menopause when she found out I was married to a member of the boy band she despised.

Gosh, I wish all of this never happened.

I just wish I met Sehun in another way. Like, I could've dropped my phone and he picked it up then he magically fell in love with me. That's so much better than being scandalously arranged.

I was so emotionally wrecked I didn't know what to do. What were we supposed to say?

That we were arranged but we fell in love at the end.

Well,that was what happened to us.

But nobody was going to believe that sugar coated shit.

Should I say that Minji was making things up and she was just delusional?

Uh no.

She was still my best friend even though I practically forgot about her for almost 3 months.

As I sat and stared at the clouds, I couldn't help but let out frustrated tears.

This was not supposed to happen.

My grip on the arm handle tightened and I leaned my head on the window.

Please let me be alright. I'm so tired of everything.

I sat beside Sehun as Minji was on my other side. We sat across Mr. Park Youngmin and Mr. Lee SooMan as they probably wracked their brains on what to do.

I couldn't look anyone in the eye. When I arrived, I met eyes with Sehun then the rest of the EXO members. I hastily looked down because I was too ashamed and embarrassed.

I felt really regretful for Sehun. Just how scrutinizing their eyes were when they found out we were just arranged?

What are we going to do?

"Well?"YoungMin asked as he threw his hands up in the air. "What are you going to do now, huh?"

The question wasn't for us. It was for Minji and I sent her a sorrowful look then looked down again.

"I-I'm sorry,"Minji stuttered,"I d-didn't know it was s-supposed t-to be a secret. I-I---" She was cut off by her own choking sobs and she cupped her face.

My eyes watered on their own and I settled my hand on Minji's knee and patted it to at least comfort her. Wow, my strong Minji, crying.

Just please.

"If you don't have anything to say then do whatever we say and nobody gets hurt,"YoungMin said menacingly.

"Just say she's making things up"

My head turned to Sehun, my eyes turning sharp. I couldn't believe he said that.

"Say she's a fan that's obsessed with me and tried to break us up,"Sehun said as if he was solving a kiddy puzzle that easily.

I gasped.

"There's no way we'll do that to Minji. I mean, she didn't do it on purpose and it--"

"Sehun's right,"SooMan said.

"We'll tell the press that she made up the whole story then put her on a restraining order"

"What?!" I stood up and covered Minji, a way to protect her because I knew she was in a panic state just like I was.

Of course I would be, I had known Minji more than all of them. I have loved Minji first and especially, more than my family. We may be as different as a dog and a cat but we are as strong as we can be. I'm not being sentimental and there's no way my best friend is going to get bashed and practically get hated.

"Saeyeon,"Sehun sighed and walked over to me then held my forearm. "Please, please don't be stubborn. My hyungs are disappointed in me and I don't think-"

"And you want to keep lying to them? Oh no,"My face turned red and Minji held my hand.

This is getting out of hand. This is not what I hoped it would be. I was full on furious with their decisions and I couldn't be more disappointed on Sehun.

What love. What marriage.

I stared him down and my bottled up emotions were coming out. Just like how I stood up when we were at the conference room 2 months ago and I completely spoke up as I defended myself.

"Tell them the truth. Let's do it,"I begged Sehun and grabbed his hand.

"Please? Please? Hmm?" My tears spurted out.

How is this even happening? This was surreal.

"No, we can't tell them the truth. Are you crazy? Remember your Dad? Yeah, he still owes us money and until he gets it back, you listen to us,"YoungMin slammed his hand on the table and I flinched.

"Saeyeon-ssi, please consider it,"SooMan looked at me pleadingly.

I ignored them and looked at Sehun. He looked at me back and I grasped his hand tighter and clutched it to my chest.

"Please Sehun?" I begged once more.

But he shook his head.

"No Saeyeon. Do you know how risky that would be? What would the fans say? What would they do to you? You know how irrational they are?"Sehun ran a hand through his hair then pointed to Minji, who had been awfully quiet,"She told. She should be reprimanded. That's how it works"

"Sehun,"I frustratedly sighed,"That she, is my best friend and before you came, she was the most important person to me and she still is"

"Well, because of her my hyungs think I'm ridiculously stupid. They don't trust me anymore-"

"Sehun, that's enough,"SooMan cut him off.

Sehun cupped his face in agony"No, do you know how low my hyungs think I am? They won't even talk to me! This never happened to me ever!"

I took a step back and grabbed Minji's hand.

"Where are you two going? We're not done yet,"YoungMin said.

"Tell the media the girl was lying,"Sehun said monotonously then exited out the room, without giving me a single glance.

I swallowed my tears then ignored SooMan and Youngmin. I dragged Minji out of the room then I directed her go the bathroom where I tried to calm her and myself down.

This is not what I hoped it will happen.
