Mafia!Sehun

Part 5

“As the small parts of him became visible...all she could see was how broken he was”

When you arrived at his place,your mind was a full mess.You now understood him.Why the way he spoke was unclear and why he was attached to absolute no one.

Because he was scared.

What you saw in the orphans there was how broken they were.But also,the scare.They were scared of life.They seemed hurt most of the time.You saw joy in them but mostly,the fear in their eyes seemed to blind them,an unfamiliar sigh to you now.It was his eyes.

After speaking to one of his guards,he told you to stay away,guessing your attempt to cover his deep wounds.You felt defeated when he looked at your teary eyes,walking away without a word.You could not see him,only his broad shoulders covered with leather.

You thought he was scared,too cautious to do anything.After his small talk to you about how he has to keep an eye on you because he’s a mafia leader,you could guess why he knew a small circle of people with mutual trust.

But what you did not know that his glass castle was so broken.

The protective layer he set up for himself against people,was slowly melting because of you.When you thought he was scared,you were right.He was so scared to have his heart open to someone.It was because before,when he was still naive that people hurt him.They lied,hurt and made him cry so he promised to have his heart closed.

But there you were,a small university student with curious eyes.He could tell,that you were lonely as well despite not knowing the depth of your loneliness.What he felt for you was like a knife in his chest,too familiar the pain.He wanted to escape,but also wanted to hug you like you had done before.After that day,everything about you was a blur to him,because it seemed too good to be real.

When you finally arrived home,the only thing you could do was to throw yourself into the bed.While you laid on the bed,tears threatening your eyes.You sat up on the bed,caressing your cheeks,only to jump a second later.

“Are you okay?”he said between the room.You jumped like a cat,too scared to do anything.

“Wha-...”you sat there in silence,too shocked to say anything.You were expecting to see him eventually,but not this quick.As you sat down on the bed,he walked close to you,sitting next to you on the bed while you kept yours eyes on him.

He kept taking deep breaths while you avoided his gaze.Why was he even here?

The question you had been avoiding was him.You did not know why he was keeping an eye on you nor were you able to explain your feelings about him.He made you excited but nervous,like fire.He also made you calm and smiley,like rain.He was on top of your head all the time,even in your sleep.

You blinked,not wanting to see his face because you were scared,scared of the truth.He reached out to you,caressing your hair while you held your breath unknowingly.It was always so tense when you were around him,also unexpectedly calm.

“I need to talk to you”he said while he stared at his hands.He knew it,that you were scared and because of that,he was scared as well.When the cold night air found your body,making it shiver,his eyes landed on yours.You saw a child this time,not the cold man you used to see with black clothes.A small child,with no hopes except the person sitting next to him.

“I’m here to listen”you said.You knew this talk was not about you nor him,it was about feelings.He needed to let it our,somehow.You were there to witness it,something you had been longing to see.

“I.........”he coughed a bit,a fake one really.You smiled a bit,hoping to relax him in someway.“Know you went to the orphanage I grew up in.That’s why you were in a hurry to see me today.You know some stuff now.........things no one knew before.Despite my gratitude...I need to say something else.”he breathed out with anxiety,you nodded in silence.Afraid,of scaring him with just a simple word.He was so fragile,like glass or a rose,where you would be so careful when carrying,afraid you might break it.

“Is it not okay?...”you said with a sigh,he was the scared one now,afraid he hurt you.“If I know”you looked him in the eye,determination taking over you.

“That’s what I wanted to say........You know a little to much”he said,scratching the back of his head.He seemed a bit more relaxed now.”It means you have to stay with me for a little while”he was fighting with the urge to smirk,you could see him blushing and it made you feel so many things.The tall man who people feared was now turning into a small bot in front of you.

“Sehun........Are you asking me out?”you said with a small voice,a small smile on your lips.You were happy,excited indeed.

“It’s a way of saying it,yeah”he said with a shake of his head.He was so full of himself now,happy actually that he managed to ask you out.

You had been on his mind,all day.He had been eyeing you,ever since you met him.He first tried to get rid of the feelings,it seemed like he had been thinking a lot about you.After wanting to see your face while he woke up,it hit him.He needed you.Like how a flower needed the sun,he was not sure he needed you like water,but close somehow.

“O-Okay”you giggled at his smirk,he was looking at you with sparkly eyes.“I mean,yeah”you whispered while your stomach kept tingling.Now that he asked,you were unsure of why.

You knew he was curious,about you mostly.After talking to some of his guards,you had learned that he had been alone,both in means of having a family and a woman.He tried tho,to have someone he can dedicate his heart and soul to,with every inch of himself.

He kissed your temple before leaving,a whisper leaving his mouth.

“I’ll see you around,love”

After the first week of being together,you had figured out that Sehun was actually not like he seemed.He carried the image of a tough person,tall and powerful looking,but when he was around you,he was going around with a smile on his face that reminded you of sunflowers.

He brought you flowers,took you to fancy places and made your heart flutter in every possible way while you smiled at him.It was sunday night,the clock hit 3 am while you sighed in the rooftop of the building.The workload and finals had been killing you,along with the amount of service you had to do for the course.

As you stared at the pretty lights,you thought about your parents.How they left you,mostly without a need or want.You were thankful,to every person who took care of you until this very day,but mostly to yourself.You had been taking care of yourself since you were left all one.It was not easy,especially for a child in a foreign country but it worked out.Somehow.

The small creak of the door filling your ears made you blink for a second,but you did not turn away.As the small wind carried his scent over to you,you smiled.He was your safe house now.You knew even after many years when you call him,he would run to you,for help or just for a small talk.

His hands found their way to your waist,grasping it ever so slightly while you hummed.He kissed your temple as you shivered under the cold night air.You could feel the coldness of his body,but his heart was warm.

“Hey”he whispered with a sound behind your ear.You could feel the warmth around him,it was a rather dangerous one to your surprise.

You turned around with a stern face,only to panic.His face was covered in blood,there was no wound but the blood was there.He seemed unexpectedly calm while you asked him what happened in a panicked voice.It all seemed like a blur to you now,he was just standing there with a soft smile on his lips while the red liquid kept dirtying all over him.

“Who’s is this?”you said,signalling the blood that covered his features.

“Someone who deserved it” he said with a chuckle.He seemed like he was okay with the blood,mostly smiling while you took him to the sofa and cleaned the blood off him.

As the sponge hit his chest,your tears kept washing your face.He had this kind of life,that you understood but you thought if he kept doing this,somewhere in his chest might turn to a rock.You were scared that he did not see killing as a bad thing anymore because he did it so often.

“Why?”you whispered while his hands caressed your hair,you kept wiping tears off your face.

“That’s how I work”he said with a soft smile.He seemed calm while you cried your heart out.This was not fair at all.

“Fine”you said after a long stare at his eyes.You needed to accept it....no,you had to.You smiled a bit as a sigh left his lips.He was aware of the fact that you were uncomfortable with the way he worked but there was nothing he could do to change it.

“I’m sorry you have to bear this,I just....this work is a part of me”you looked at him with a slow stare while he kept his gaze low.

“I know”you gulped when his large hands cupped your face.You kept looking at his wound,not wanting to face him just yet.You shook your head,a smile on your lips.

He shook his head adorably while your noses touched.“Let’s get out of here”he whispered while you shook your head.You adored him in so many ways while he was being a cute fluff ball.

“You are still wounded”you said with a small peck on his lips.His grin grew wider while you smiled.
