I Wish [Sehun x Jisoo x Kai]

--eight--

 "I was supposed to be a good brother," Sehun heaved a long sigh, leaning against Kai's car, "Look at what I've done now. How am I going to answer dad?"

Vernon rested his hand on the other's shoulder, leaning against the car in the same manner beside Sehun, "He needed this, really," he spoke, "You know, when Kai was a kid, he yearned for a little brother who'd play with him, go on bicycle rides and be his partner in every of his crimes."

Sehun looked sideways at him with his brows arched. "So you two know each other for a long time, huh?"

"Well, I know him for a long time. I mean, everyone knew Kai by the time I transferred into this school. He never knew I existed until that day when I accidentally spilled orange juice on his well-ironed uniform. He started bullying me with his group of friends since then," Vernon chuckled before continuing, "After some, let's say, fortunate events, we became best friends."

Sehun nodded, taking in the information. It was a little hard to believe that Vernon was also once bullied by Kai, but nonetheless, it made sense.

"Who's Seulgi?" he blurted out without thinking much.

"Um, you know..." Vernon trailed off and started mumbling to himself, "how to put this into words?" Sehun arched his brows at him and Vernon tried to continue, "So, you know how Kai is never serious about these—"

"These?"

"These meaning relationships."

"Oh, right. So?"

"So, whenever he's done playing with a girl and is going for a new one," Vernon continued, his face scrunching in disgust with every word he spoke, "There's this period between that and he spends that time with Seulgi."

"You mean he sleeps with her whenever he can, right?" Sehun simplified whatever Vernon said. He didn't see the point in euphemizing what Seulgi was to Kai because they simply were friends with benefits.

"Um, yeah...exactly," Vernon mumbled, "Can I ask you something as well?"

"Yeah, anything," Sehun replied, "I don't have any dirty secret like Kai does, by the way."

Vernon chuckled, "What's there between you and Jisoo?"

Sehun went rigid as soon as the words reached his ears, "N-nothing really," he stammered, "We're friends for a long time."

"You think I'd buy that, Sehun?" Vernon displayed him a cheeky grin. Sehun flushed a little at that. "I know there's more to the story. Now tell me, boy."

"Well," Sehun coughed a little, taking into account that Vernon was someone he could trust.

"I... like her, love her even," he gulped after saying that. A smile automatically reached his lips, "I know her for a long time and I fall for her everyday."

"Why didn't you confess then?" the other guy spoke up, finding his answers what he had thought they would be.

"Why don't you confess to Jinri?" Sehun asked, smirking as he turned to him.

"Huh?" Vernon responded with wide eyes, "H-how did you know?"

"Well, I can see it. Trust me, we're stuck in the same situation," Sehun chuckled lightly. The street lamp flickered once again above them. "You're in this for two years; as for me, I'm in this for eight whole years."

"No, wait. How do you know?" Vernon demanded an answer, "Even Kai doesn't know about this."

"Well, I know that look you give Jinri. Kai doesn't and it's not his fault either," Sehun replied, "I caught you really easily. In today's soccer match, I saw how your eyes shifted between Jinri and Chanyeol and the way you were glaring daggers at him the whole time."
