Chapter 8

                                    

                                          
Sehun stared at a pair of suits that was ready hanging next to his closet. as soon as Hayoung asked him out just now, he hesitated no time to pick out the best attires he could get
                          
he glanced over to the clock on the wall. it was only 10 pm. he still got 10 hours until the dinner, but why did he feel so nervous for no reason? 
                          
deep down, Sehun could sense something was about to happen tonight. between him and Hayoung. something very serious
                          
considering Hayoung had been confessing her feelings for him two times now, he could see what was coming next
                          
Sehun-maybe it's time
                          
yes, maybe it was finally time for him to live a normal life like everybody else. get a normal job, meet people, fall in love, build a family and grow old together. maybe he was ready for it now
                          
he was ready for any kind of changes as soon as he decided to leave his dark stories behind
                          
Sehun-shit! I can't stop thinking about it
                          
he threw his head back in frustration. Sehun reached out to the drawer and pulled it opened. he grabbed the cigarette box out
                          
Sehun-ah damn it! there's nothing left
                          
Sehun cursed under his breath. he badly needed that piece to calm his anxious heart
                          
without thinking much, Sehun grabbed his hoodie and left his house to the nearest convenience store

after paying for two boxes of cigarette, he walked out of the store. he waited no longer to tuck one of the cigarette in between his mouth and lighted it up
                          
Sehun walked back to his apartment building. it was 10 minutes walk from the convenience store
                          
while walking, Sehun felt like he was followed closely from behind. his instinct just told him it wasn't a random pedestrian, but 'someone'
                          
he quickened his footsteps and finally disappeared within the alleys
                          
a man dressed up in black hoodie, tried looking for Sehun but to no avail. he just lost his trace in broad light
                          
Sehun-I know my instinct wasn't lying
                          
Sehun appeared behind that man. he turned around facing Sehun
                          
Sehun-Leo
                          
Leo, the backbone of the gang back in Italy. their boss right hand man
                          
Sehun-what are you doing here? 
Leo-I have been looking for you all this while
Sehun-are you? or your boss? 
                          
Leo-she wants you back
Sehun-I have chosen my path. I'm not going back in there
Leo-she will pay you as much as you want. just name it. you know she would never do this much for anyone else
Sehun-money is never the issue. it is not what I am on
Leo-so what can I do for you just to come back to our gang?
                          
Sehun scoffed. he stepped closer to Leo
                          
Sehun-tell Sejeong that I want her... to fuck off
                          
Sehun whispered close into Leo's ear before he turned around and walked away
                          
just a few steps leaving Leo, suddenly Sehun was grabbed from behind. Leo cupped his mouth and nose with damp cloth
                          
Sehun felt suffocated. his vision suddenly got blurry before he finally stumbled to the ground
