You tip toed into Exo K’s dorm to surprise Sehun. It was early in the morning and you were sure he would be a sleep.
“What are you doing here so early?” Kai asked walking out the room, still stretching and yawning.
“Shhhhhhhh.” You glared at him, putting your finger close to your lips.
“Oh, you’re trying to scare him,” he whispered. You nodded and continued to the room. As soon as you poked your head inside, Sehun popped in front of you. You immediately jumped back clenching your fist close to your heart.
“How did you know I was coming?” you asked. Your eyes were wide open and your heart was racing.
“I was half awake when I heard Kai,” he winked at you, pulling you closer to him.
“Kai oppa,” you made a face and snapped your fingers.
“Hey hey hey, don’t worry, you’ll get plenty of chances to scare me.”
“Really?” you said leaning in closer to him. “And why is your mood so good today?”
“My mood is always good,” he replied. You gave him one of you classic looks, as if he was hiding something. Sehun was never the talking type. In fact he barely ever talked, while you pattered all the time.
“It’s really nothing,” he chuckled. “Can’t I be all cheerful for once?”
“Of course,” you said finally letting that smile you had been holding back to appear on your face. Sehun leaned in and gave you a quick peck.
“Oh my God, and I get a kiss too? Wow it must be my lucky day,” you teased him.
“Aish,” he patted you and dragged you out the room. He had a lot going on his mind. He knew he had to fix what he had done wrong and making you happy was the only way he could come over his guilt.
Everybody settled down on the breakfast table. You helped Suho and Kyungsoo set up the food. The other boys never bothered doing anything.
“You guys should really help around sometimes.”
“Sorry no can’t do,” Kai said pouting cutely. “Hyungs lost in scissor, paper, rock.”
“Oh gosh you guys and your silly games,” you shook your head, sitting opposite Sehun. He seemed to be lost.
“Are you okay?” you asked. He didn’t respond, but instead continued to stare at his empty plate. You looked at Kai and then back to Sehun. Kai lifted his hand to stop you from calling his name again. He got up, stood behind Sehun and smacked the back of his head.
“Huh,” Sehun shook his head violently from side to side. “What happened?”
“Where are you lost?” both you and Baekhyun asked at the same time. Before he could answer, the room filled with laughter. Sehun’s surprised expressions were way too funny for anyone to hold back their laughter.
“I hate all of you,” he cringed his nose.
“Okay everybody eat quietly,” Suho announced. There was no defying, his orders. You looked at Sehun from time to time. There was clearly something bothering him. You wanted to know what it was but you couldn’t force it out of him. You respected his privacy. If it was something important, he would tell you himself.
************************************************************
Your friends had forced you to party on a weekday. You were regretting it since you had to sneak back into your dorm now. The university admins were pretty harsh if someone didn’t follow the rules. You had sneaked in a bunch of times so it wasn’t as hard. Just as you were about to unlock your room’s door your phone buzzed.
‘I’m outside your dorm. Come get me..’ – it was from Sehun.
‘Are you kidding me? I just sneaked in myself.’
‘Just come get meeeee..’ –he insisted.
You didn’t have a choice but to go get him.
*************************************************************
“Can you tell me ahead of time next time if you’re coming so I can be ready?” you pouted as the two of you entered your dorm.
“Mianhe,” he mumbled.
“What?” you turned around, a little surprised yet amused. “Did you just say mianhe?”
“Oh please don’t get started with it again,” Sehun chuckled.
“But you never say sorry,” you said.
“Maybe I’m trying to change things up a little bit.”
“Really?” you asked.
“Ye,” he said sighing deeply.
“Then,” you walked closer and put your arms around him, “how about you start smiling more often. Last time I saw you smile was ….. “ you paused and made a sort of funny expression to mock him for never smiling. “Never,” you finally finished your sentence.
“Aish,” he shook his head. “I do smile… see.” He pulled a smile.
“That’s good. Now let’s work on making it look a little more natural,” you patted his chest and turned around to unpack.
“Do you have stuff due tomorrow?” he asked.
“Nope.”
“Oh really because I was thinking..” he trailed off and held you from behind.
“What?” you asked turning around. You sort of got the hint but you weren’t sure.
“Umm…,” he paused to clear his throat. “I was thinking.. if we could…you know.”
“Watch a movie?” you filled in for him. You were trying to change the topic because you felt like you weren’t ready for it yet and you didn’t want to disappoint him.
“Ahh yeah,” he mumbled. Both you and him jumped into bed, cuddling close to each other. you lay your head on his chest and he rested his arm around you.
“Well this is fun,” he said staring at the screen.
“Then what do you want to do?” you asked, lifting your head slightly. He sat up forcing you to sit up too. Before you could say anything he connected his lips to yours. He didn’t give you a chance to refuse this time and began taking off your cloths. You thought for a brief second but gave in. You had been with him for almost a year. It was finally time- you figured.
********************************************************
Sehun was already in the bathroom when you woke up the next morning. You wouldn’t have woken up that early, had his phone not buzzed.
“Oppa,” you mumbled from under the sheets. He obviously couldn’t hear you. You grabbed his phone in frustration and were about to toss it away but something caught your eye. It was an unknown number. 7 missed calls. You stared at the small flashing screen for a long time. Not wanting to, you opened the messages that Sehun had received from the number.
1. ‘What’s the matter with you?’
2. ‘Pick up the phone Sehun’
3. ‘I’ll tell her all about it if you don’t pick up my phone…’
4. ‘ Okay meet me at café at 5 today otherwise I’ll do something that will destroy you..’
Your jaw dropped in surprise. Who was this person? What did they want? Why were they threatening your boyfriend? You heard the bathroom door clicked so you quickly put the phone away and pretended to sleep. He sat beside you, looked at his phone, shook his head and put it away. He turned around, looking at you with his loving eyes. He gave you a quick peck and quickly left.
Now it was up to you to make the decision. Were you going to follow him and see who he was meeting or were you going to trust him? There was a lot going on in your head. You had to make sure he was safe. The messages were so vague, you were afraid he might be in some big trouble.
**********************************************************
You reached the café a little before five. You chose a small, dark corner and made yourself comfortable. You covered half your face with a scarf so nobody would recognize you. There were very few people in there. A couple sitting in the other corner. An old man ordering his coffee and a girl sitting two tables down from you.
Sehun walked in at exactly 5 o clock. Your heard began racing. It nearly popped out when he went and sat across the girl who was sitting very close to you.
“What do you want?” he asked grinding his teeth.
“I want you to leave her. Is that too much to ask for?” she said.
Your mouth fell open. Could she be talking about you? You turned your head slightly to look at them. Sehun seemed tensed, clenching his fist and grinding his teeth.
“I told you I can’t do that.”
“Then why don’t you just tell her that you slept with me so you can make things easy for her.”
“Shut up,” he snapped.
Your heart sank at the words you had just heard. You felt like everything had stopped for a second. Nothing was making sense. You had just spent a wonderful night with him but all of it was a lie. He was lying to you the whole time. He was cheating on you and you accepting all of his wishes like a fool.
“You told me you loved me Sehun,” she said. Her voice choked and she began crying.
“I’m sorry,” Sehun whispered. You couldn’t take it anymore. A gush of disgust took over you. You sprang out of your chair and walked up to the two of them. Sehun gasped and got up immediately.
“_________,” your name came out of his mouth effortlessly. You had prepared yourself to slap him across his face for what he had done but for some reason the closer you got, more of your energy began to drain out of your body. Both you and him didn’t leave each other’s strong gaze for even a second. You were about to cry and so was he. You lifted your hand but it dropped automatically.
“I … never..want to see ..you ..again,” you said in broken words and ran out the door before he could stop you.
*****************************************************************
Sehun knocked on your door everyday for the next week but you never bothered to open the door. He had no idea how much he’d hurt you. You tried hard to overcome the pain but it didn’t go away. How could it? You had trusted him with all your heart and he had betrayed you. In fact he had used you.
“Go away Sehun,” you yelled. You were getting tired of him coming every morning and standing outside your door, begging you to open it.
“It’s me Kai,” the voice from the other side said.
“Did Sehun bring you here?” you asked.
“__________ just open the door.”
“No!,”
“He is not here,” he said after a while.
“Liar.”
“Come and look if you want to.”
You walked up to the door and looked through the peep hole. He was right. Sehun wasn’t there.
“What do you want?” you asked.
“Just open the door. I want to talk to you.”
You gave in, and opened the door slightly. You felt a stronger force push it more. Sehun had been hiding on the side.
“Oppa,” you shot a disgusted look at Kai.
“_____________, please hear him out for once, please. He’s been so miserable for the past week. He is to embarrassed to tell anyone. I’m the only one who knows about this. Please listen to him.”
“How could you?” you asked.
“I’m sorry.” Kai replied and pushed Sehun inside. He closed the door so the two of you could have some privacy.
“Go away Sehun,” you yelled.
“__________ please listen to me at least once.” He put his hand n your shoulder. You shrugged it off.
“I’m really sorry.”
“No you’re not. All the niceness was all an act wasn’t it?” you turned around to reveal your puffy eyes. “You used me to get over your guilt. How could you Sehun. You forced me to do it just because you wanted to wash away your own wrong doings. How could you be so selfish? You should have just left me instead.”
“I couldn’t.”
“WHY?” you yelled once again.
“Because I love you _________.” He grabbed you tightly.
“No you don’t,” you struggled to loosen his grip.
“I do. I love you and only you. I just got carried away and I don’t know what happened to me. But, now I’ve realized that I love you not her.”
“Sleeping with her made you realize that?” you asked, even more disgusted this time. Sehun stared at you blankly. He was trying to form the words but obviously he didn’t have anything to say.
“You know what I have a better idea. How about I cheat on you to make it even? How about I go sleep with someone else?” you proposed. Sehun glared at you with his bloodshot eyes. Did you really mean what you were saying?
“Does that sound fair? Maybe then I’ll be able to forgive you?” you asked.
“What?” he shook his head in disbelief.
“Exactly,” you scoffed. “Now you know how it feels right?”
“___________ I’m really sorry. If I didn’t care about you I wouldn’t have come back to you. I wouldn’t have begged you. I made a mistake and I’ve regretted it every day. I still do.” He held you more softly this time. “I’m really afraid to lose you.”
“And you weren’t when you were cheating on me?”
“I was stupid. I didn’t realize your worth but now I do.”
“Do you?” you raised your eyebrows.
“I do. You have no idea how much I hate myself for hurting you. Call me heartless but I didn’t feel anything when I saw her cry but when I saw tears in your eyes, I felt like a knife was running through my heart. I couldn’t take it and I know it’s because I love you. I promise it will never happen again. I’ve made such a horrible mistake that can’t be forgiven but I’m asking you for forgiveness because I know you have a good heart. I know you love me _________. You keep up with me, despite my weird attitude. Only you can understand me. I don’t have to be different around you. Just.. please..,” he sighed and hugged you. You placed your hands on his chest to create some distance between the two of you.
“I’m scared,” you mumbled after many minutes of silence.
“If you give me another chance you’ll never have to be scared again,” he replied.
“But what if you..”
“It won’t. I promise,” he hugged you more tightly. You slid your hands behind him and hugged him back.
“Thank-you,” you heard him whisper.

Sehun doesn’t seem like the type who would cheat on his girlfriend. So I know anon who requested it wanted me to elaborate on the ‘girl cheating on him’ but I just couldn’t do it. It all felt too weird so I just added it as a suggestion.
