The Cold One / Wu Yifan

Chapter 09

Her father got divorced when she was just a toddler. Surprisingly enough, he got married with another woman just after that. He had settled in Korea and didn't even bother to visit her, not even once. Until her mother died. The destiny, however, found it's way back to her and her father. She was sixteen years old, but as the law called it, she was an underage. She couldn't live without a guardian. Not that it was true, but that was what they said.

So she got no choice but to agree with the law. 'Law' that word made her sick. Because that so called 'Law', was the reason why she had to put up with this in the first place. Because that 'Law', was the reason why she had to abandon her mom's grave in london. She had lost almost everything in this very short amount of time of her nineteen years old life.

She was lost in her own crazy world that she didn't even hear the loud knock on the door.

"Junmyeon asked me out! Can you believe that?" Sehun exclaimed as he barged into her room, making her jump from the shock.

But when Sehun saw the blood smeared face of his sister's, his face completely fell. Fear was evident on his face as he stared at her with wide eyes. His movements completely stilled as he froze in the place.

"How many times did I tell you to knock, Sehun?" She tried to act normal as she started to get up, but failed as she stumbled backward and fell on her butt, again. She hissed as the pain shot through her body like electricity.

She was afraid to look at her brother's face, because she knew well how Sehun would react. But she dared to look at him, because somehow, she needed to get up but it seemd like she couldn't do that on her own.

"Stop standing there like an idiot and help me up!" She groaned, biting back the pain and trying to mask it with a scowl. But she could tell he didn't buy any of that since she saw his eyes watering and his hands shaking violently. He slowly dragged his trembling body towards her, so many emotions passing across his crimson red face. Now, she felt bad.

She was an idiot after all, she could at least clean herself up before being all overdramatic. She could've at least locked the damn door. But no, she had to cry first, like an idiot. She cursed under her breath.

"W-Who did this to you?" His voice was cracking and with trembling hands, he helped her stand.

"It's nothing really."

"How can it be nothing when you're bleeding like this?" He sobbed.

"Tell me who did this to you and i'll tell Junmyeon to beat their asses."

"Oh please, with that face of his? I seriously doubt if he can even kill a mosquito with his hands." She laughed aloud, and didn't even care if her face split in half by doing it. Because it was worth it since Sehun's terrified look changed into a pouty one with that.

"Don't say that! He's much stronger than you think!" Sehun pouted, but then giggled at the mention of his new boyfriend. After all, she was happy that Junmyeon had accepted Sehun. At least one good thing had happened by going to that party.

Elena didn't show up at collage for the past four days and Kris was more than disappointed. He saw Junmyeon with her brother Oh Sehun most of the times. He couldn't help but feel jealous at the new couple, because in such a short amount of time, they had grown closer like they were always known each other. But his jealousy got him no where near Elena either.

But in the fifth day, he was growing impatient. He had already suffered a week without seeing her and it was more than enough. He found Oh Sehun in a hallway next to the seniors' classes, and of course, as he had expected, Junmyeon was with him too.

"Ya, Oh Sehun!" Kris shouted from the other end of the hallway.

"K-Kris hyung?"

"We need to talk!"
