Chapters 25. Preferred Woman


A stroke of luck for Sehun. Suji returns even before Sehun delivers on his plan. At first Sehun was a little worried, afraid that Suji could not rush home as he wished but the woman here, was busy watching television shows in her apartment.


Sehun's steps were arranged, drawing closer to the woman. Sitting beside Suji with one of his hands embracing Suji made the woman turn her head and smile.


"How's Provence?" ask Sehun.


Suji's forehead created a smooth wave, the woman breathed out softly and hugged Sehun's stomach. "Sucks, beautiful but sucks."


Sehun chuckled lightly, rubbing Suji's back with one hand while one more hand grasped Suji's fingers. Sehun was silent until the silent atmosphere took over. His mind ruled to immediately say his plan but somehow Sehun hesitated, again. Karna Sehun knew, Suji was ... "Do you want to stop working and marry me?" ... Loves his job very much.


Suji's body stiffened in Sehun's embrace. Even the woman instinctively held her breath and slowly released herself from Sehun's embrace. "Hm?"


Sehun poked his lips for a moment. Staring at Suji with a shady look, the hand that was originally holding Suji's fingers turned to rub the woman's cheeks. "You want to marry me?" sehun asked, his voice low and sounding sincere, no kidding.


Suji. The woman was silent for a long time. Playing his fingernails restlessly, Suji glanced at Sehun who was still faithfully waiting. "... Yes," Suji replied, his voice almost resembles a whisper.


Sehun's smile was created later. Waiting for this short answer why it feels so crowded and riled up but Sehun never thought when he finally could hear the answer. It was difficult to describe in clear words everything was so relieving like a heavy burden lifted from him. In short Sehun is happy.


Suji resigned as his body was attracted and fell into the chest of Sehun's field. Sehun tightly hugged his body as if to share that blushing feeling of happiness. Suji leaned against Sehun's sturdy chest while siempu busily rubbed her hair. "But ... What about the woman?" suji's question made Sehun's movement stop. Suji breathed slowly, trying to control himself. "Sun! I don't want to hide!" sengut Suji while breaking away from Sehun.


"That color, I want you to come with me to meet Dad," Sehun said, pausing for a while, "Dad has to know you, so he knows that my choices have not been wrong all along," Sehun continued.


Suji could not hide his smile, he re-hugged Sehun and dropped his head back on Sehun's steadfast chest. He never imagined this would happen in his life.


Ever since he knew Sehun was getting married because of an arranged marriage. Suji surrender. He thought it would be useless to endure even begging to someone whose life path was already determined. Suji doesn't want to be a lowly person, willing to do anything for just one person in the name of love. To him it was just a sickening cliche.


At that time, Suji decided to live freely like a bird. Flying from one Country to another, circling one Ocean to another and venturing one Continent to another. Until the boredom came.


But that day, Sehun came. Sehun's face was pale with breathless Sehun standing on the doorstep of Suji's apartment, staring at Suji who was ready with a small suitcase beside him, staring in shock at Sehun who seemed to not change his clothes. Yep. It was Sehun's wedding day with the woman Orlando had prepared.


Sehun clutched his body tightly. Suji could still feel the trembling body hugging him tightly. Then a low voice was caught by the senses of its listeners.


“Don't go, Suji. Don't give up because you still have it. My heart, my feeling is, You.”


Be happy? Sure oes. Suji loves Sehun. Suji is also heartbroken when Sehun marries another woman. Suji had wanted to give up but Sehun actually came and asked him not to give up, it was an opportunity that would not be wasted.


And, Suji will not give up. He would not let Sehun go even if Sehun wanted to break away from him. He won't let Sehun off.


Suji smiled. His hands were still coiled in Sehun's stomach with a face looking up, trying to stare at Sehun. "Thank you" said Suji, then back to lean his head against Sehun's firm chest, again.


"Hm?"


"Hehe..."


Thank you for not going away from you, so are you. Got to!


Suji continued in my heart. He tightened his embrace on Sehun's stomach making the man chuckle amusedly and peeked briefly at Suji's head.


Their hugs are off. Suji stood up making Sehun look up, looking at him. Curious when suddenly Suji restrains himself and wears his coat.


"You want to go?" asked Sehun, arranging the arc closer to the woman.


Suji nodded without having to look at Sehun. "Hm, I promise I'll have dinner with my sister."


"Me?" tanya Sehun pointed at herself.


Suji saw that and his laughter was made. He rattled Sehun's hair in an overcast manner. "Other times, huh?" Suji smiled as Sehun in front of him cut down like a child. "Seola wants to talk to me, maybe she'll consider what I say." Suji sighed, he came forward and hugged Sehun back.


Sehun returned the hug. He rubbed Suji's hair and back gently. "Hm, it must be heavy for him too" said Sehun.


Suji nodded then distanced himself. "I'm leaving" he said, saying goodbye.


Sehun nodded. Staring at the woman's back with a smile that was still being reviewed until Suji finally completely left his apartment.


The apartment was quiet again. Sehun let out a breath, he turned around and returned to sit on the sofa of the living room. Inwardly, he wondered, Will everything go as he expected?


But, why was he suddenly hesitating like this? No, right? There's no way that's true.


***


Sehun knocked on the door in front of him. The man walked in after.


"What's wrong?" Orlando immediately asked to see Sehun who had suddenly come to him without contacting him before.


"Is there anything you want to say?" ask Orlando, again.


Sehun thinned his lips. The man stood up and was silent on the spot, staring at his father. Yang then nodded. "... Yeah." yeah."


Orlando's eyebrows shot up. He sighed who then stood up and walked to the side of the room, where a leather sofa was located. Orlando sat on a single sofa, while Sehun sat on the edge of a long sofa. With his legs crossed and cross-chested, Orlando again asked Sehun's purpose.


Sehun looked at Orlando with complete confidence. He took a breath and began to say, "I'm going to file for divorce with Yoona."


Silent long.


"What?"


Sehun took a deep breath. "I want a divorce from Yoona" Sehun repeated.


Orlando did not answer. The old man stared fixedly at his son who then glared sharply. "Say one reason."


"I love—"


"Except that excuse."


Sehun immediately huffed. As per his guess, this was not as easy as he wanted. His hands were clenched without him noticing, trying hard to hold back.


"Sehun—"


"Dad, Suji is what I want."


Orlando's eyes closed for a few seconds. Who then looked back at Sehun. "Why? What's less than Yoona?"


Sehun's lips clenched tightly. What is less? The problem is not with Yoona, the problem is with her. Sehun just doesn't love Yoona. That'sthat's all.


"Back, come! There's no point in you telling me that."


Instead of moving, Sehun just remained unmoved. In his mind it was as if there was a long debate, making Sehun so unthinkable about it.


Should he say that?


Orlando would definitely agree and let Sehun take steps as Sehun wished. But, on the other hand Sehun also felt heavy, however it was the thing that Sehun liked.


"I will stop and get into the company" Sehun finally said. The sound of breathing was heard afterwards.


Orlando rounded his eyeballs. Can't believe Sehun would say that. "You're serious?" orlando still could not believe it.


Sehun nodded confidently. "Yes." Yeah."


Orlando lost the word. For him it was highly unlikely that Sehun had proposed that negotiation so soon.


"As long as Dad lets me with Suji," said Sehun.


"Why?"


"Isn't this a fair offer? I got what I wanted, and so did Dad."


Orlando silent. He was completely lost, as if refusing to believe but when he looked directly at Sehun, his son seemed to have no doubt.


When he stood up, he said his goodbye to leave. But just two steps into his foot, Orlando's voice intruded making his steps stop.


"Only because of that woman did you do this?" Orlando sarcasm.


"Suji is my woman of choice," Sehun replied without looking at Orlando.


Behind him, Orlando laughed, making Sehun frown. Is Sehun's confession a joke?


"You're saying like that as if, Yoona is the only one, huh?" ketus Orlando, cynical. The man stood up, drew closer to his son then patted Sehun's broad shoulder. "From the beginning I let you choose the woman you want, as long as it's not the woman. Now you're saying Suji is your woman of choice?" Orlando hissed while Sehun was stunned to hear Orlando's sentence.


"You chose Yoona. Which isn't even on the list."
