If I Can't Have You... (An EXO fan fiction)

Chapter Twenty One

"Oh my God, you are such a mood-wrecker!", I joked.

"W...what did you say.......No sushi for you, young lady!", he pouted and turned his back on me.

"Mood-wrecker? What were you doing with Kyungsoo?", Suho tried to fake a smile but I could see his struggle.

"What were you guys doing earlier?", Suho managed to ask.

"Just...had a good conversation.", Kyungsoo said as he faced my way and smiled with satisfaction. He patted my hands before he got off the bed to sniff the goods they bought.

I could feel Suho's gaze darting at my way but I avoided looking at him. I was afraid all my walls would crumble the moment I laid my eyes on him.

A few minutes later the dessert squad came back and they bought more ice cream cake and some snacks from the convenience store. I distracted myself with all the delicious food presented to me. I requested that I was moved to the dining table so I didn't have to eat on the bed. I didn't want to get it dirty and the boys wouldn't be comfortable eating there too.

Xiumin and Chanyeol helped me up and I moved my injured leg carefully but it didn't hurt as much as before. I guess the massage worked miracles.
Suho wanted to help me too, but I kept both of my hands occupied so I wouldn't have skinship with him. He looked hurt but that didn't stop him. He dragged the chair out for me and I felt bad for antagonizing him, so I took that seat and I gave him a smile. A smile that took a lot to fake.

They laid out everything on the table and each of us grabbed a piece of fork and stabbed at any food visible. I quickly claimed a large piece of ice cream cake on my plate and ate it heartily. Suho was originally sitting across me but he dragged his chair to sit beside me.

"Hyung, you don't want to sit with me? Gosh, my feelings are hurt.", Sehun held his heart and faked a crying expression.

"Waah, Suho-hyung, how dare you treat our maknae like that.", Baekhyun started pouring gasoline to the fire.

"Eat, eat, Byun Baekhyun. I can't stand all your nagging.", I said as I stuffed his cheeks with the tightly wrapped sushi. He muffled something but I ignored him. I couldn't act naturally now because Suho sat beside me.

He grabbed a piece of salmon sashimi and set it on my plate. And he also reached for the tamago roll. I wanted to thank him but all I did was smile at him and bowed a little. Why was I acting awkward? He smiled back as he mouthed "eat more".

I couldn't stand being so cold to him. I wanted to act normally and casually, like how we used to. He was still so kind and considerate even though I ignored him completely. But I couldn't stop thinking about that nurse, Eunha. I wanted him to explain without having me asking him first. I didn't want to sound too eager.

I maintained my nonchalance as I ate my meal. I glanced at Kyungsoo to give me strength. He ate heartily and he smiled a lot. He was in such a good mood, I could tell.

**********************************

After finishing the meal we played Truth or Dare to kill time. The loser who didn't want either truth or dare must take a shot of soju. Because it was best for me not to consume alcohol, I should always participate.

The first to start was Sehun, because he was maknae. We went from the youngest to the eldest. I should start first but they gave me the advantage of going last.

"Jongin-ah. Truth or dare?", Sehun started.

"Hmm...truth?", he smirked while he thought hard.

"How many times have you ever fallen in love?", Sehun gave him an easy question. I wasn't expecting that at all. I was prepared for more hardcore and brainstorming questions.
