The Cold One / Wu Yifan

Chapter 07

"Are you sure that it's Junmyeon that invited me to his party?" Sehun asked for the thousandth time.

"Yes Sehun! Yes! How many more times do I have to tell you the exact same thing?!" She groaned, clearly frustrated by her brother's nonstop rambling.

"My Junmyeonnie invited me?!" He brought his palms to his face and cupped his own cheeks, giggling frantically.

"Argh! Why the hell do I have to put up with your nonsense every day?!" She groaned again, rubbing her face furiously.

"We're here already. Go and find that idiotic crush of yours and torture him instead of torturing me! Bye!" The soon they were inside of Junmyeon's house, Elena said and shoved Sehun off. And headed to the kitchen like she owned the place, completely ignoring her brother's pouty complains. Because she was so done with her brother today and she sure as hell didn't want to be bothered by her brother anytime soon again.

She poured herself a beer and headed to the back yard, where she could at least breath properly. Because the living room and kitchen were already crowded.

She had downed her third beer when she finally saw a familiar face. Kris was with his girlfriend, well, she was practically clinging onto him like a monkey. She groaned, disgusted by the way she tried to steal kisses from Kris who was trying to break free from her not so appropriated grasp. Annoyed, she huffed and turned to walk away, but from the corner of her eye, she saw Kris looked at her. She ignored him, even though she saw he started walking towards her, leaving that leech of a girl to stand there dumbfounded.

She felt annoyed, she didn't know why, but something bothered her. The way Yoona was hugging Kris, made her want to puke.

"Elena," She heard Kris calling her. But she ignored it as she kept walking through the overcrowded living room to the front porch. Her mind was kind of clouded, and she felt a little tipsy.

'Sehun is a big boy, so he can walk home alone.' She kept on saying that in her mind as she started walking further away from the house.

"Wait, Elena. Please?" She heard Kris' voice calling her again, and this time she did stop and turned to see a very certain, chinese boy standing behind.

"Are you alone?" Kris asked,

"Why do you ask?" She raised her eyebrow at him and stared.

But when he didn't respond, she continued to walk away. But soon enough, a hand grasped her wrist, making her stop.

"What do you want?" She whipped her head and asked in an annoyed tone.

"Please! That's not what you think," Kris looked pained. But all she felt was annoyance.

"What do you mean?"

"Me and Yoona, we're not together anymore."

"Oh, is that so? But from what I saw, it clearly didn't look like that!" She spat, laughing mockingly. She felt so frustrated and bitter. And that made her nearly drove nuts. Because she didn't even know why she was feeling that way in the first place.

"Why are you even saying me this anyway? It's not like you owe me an explanation or anything." She looked at him again, and what she saw, was not something she had expected. Kris looked hurt, it was so evident that it's written all over his face.

"Please! I do. I do owe you an explanation. Yoona was frustrated because she liked Junmyeon. But he was with Sehun and she saw them and, she came crying and I don't know what happened, the next moment, she tried to kiss me. Please believe me!" He looked like a little boy who was trying to explain to his mom that he had done nothing wrong.

"I came with Sehun but from what you said, i'm guessing he ain't wanna be home anytime soon and I also don't wanna ruin his moment. So, yeah i'm alone. And i'm going home now." She said, and she wondered why the hell she was saying these things to him. But that, brought a smile on Kris' face. His face immediately lit up like a christmas tree.

"Um... Do you-"

"No I can go alone." She said sternly. And tried to walk away but then again was stopped by the same hand pulling her back.

"But, it's dark." Kris tried to reason but Elena once again cut him off.

"In case you didn't know, I lived in London until I was sixteen. So believe me, I can take care of myself." She assured him, giving him a reassuring smile. Which he kinda of bought, because he let out a chuckle and let go of her hand.

"Yeah. I believe you." He mumbled, almost looking shy.

"Okay. Let Sehun know that i'm gone. He'll freak out otherwise. Bye."

"Sure. Oh Elena, take care!" He called again and waved, before turning back and jogging inside. Elena laughed at the giant who was practically jumping up the stairs before disappearing into the crowd.
