"Hey, there's something in your face. Let me wipe it away for you." He hastily pulled the beautiful girl towards him in a feeble attempt to hide a commotion that was happening behind his back. "Yah!! Oh Sehun don't try to hide it. This isn't the first time. You covering the sight doesn't mean I can't hear it." Her eyes welling up with tears threatening to fall off anytime soon gives a pang to his heart. oh how he wishes it was him She'd love first. he knows she won't cry infront of him observing how she swallowed and breathed a sigh then turned around to run away. This pretty girl whom he has loved dearly all his life, who was never his to begin with. Being friendzoned always was hurtful yet it kept him close with her. so why not!! Since the first day of his high school, when he bumped into her accidentally, the memory is still fresh as daisy in his mind. She had her face covered with her long cascading hair with few notebooks scattered around, took a while to register upon him ..the girl was on the floor. He still remembers when he led his hand to help her up, she slowly lifted her head and after seconds that felt like hours she stretched her beautiful hand out to him. The cold guy as known among people around, he just wanted to shrug her off muttering few words of apology but as soon as she got up, he couldn't help himself from observing how breathtakingly beautiful she was with her bare face and such beautiful eyes. Awestruck!! That's what actually happened to him. She was so different from usual girls who acted all pretty with their faces stuffed with things boys would normally never understand about. Awkward silence surrounded them as she caught him staring at her , she immediately bowed and picked up her notebooks and walked away without looking back. Sehun could only stare at her back without knowing what to do as he felt she took a part of him away. He noticed a card like thing lying a little far from the spot where she fell. He picked it up. Bae Soo Ji was written on her identity card with a beautiful picture of her. Bae Soo Ji, sounded so beautiful in his tongue jus like its ethereal owner. That was the day Sehun realised his heart could crazily beat with butterflies churning inside his stomach just with the thought that he could be meeting her again with that card, the wonderful gift he assumed was lent to him by his fate. He was in love. The Ice Prince was in love. Their friendship started beautifully and continued to be so since he could never confess infront of her. It was heartbreaking for him when, his Bae Soo Ji told him one day she'd be joining as a trainee idol in a very reputed entertainment agency. He knew she was beautiful and talented to the point that she could get such tempting offers. He had to send her away to chase her dreams he knew she always had. He was happy for her but sad within because this meant they were supposed to be away from each other after that. Bidding her farewell was never a pleasant ordeal. He still remembers how she ran to hug him tightly in attempt to console the pouting friend she ever had. Friendzoned, that's what he was, he knew it, he still knows it although it hurts deeply inside cursing how coward he was to let his dreamgirl go away without his confession. He . He knew it. Sending her away was like shivering in a dark cold Winter night and there was nothing warm around to comfort him with. He was back to Old Sehun, the cold guy, the Ice prince as his warmth was stolen by that precious princess who he never could claim to be his. She'd mail him few times in months so he knew he wasn't completely forgotten. He couldn't contain his excitement when she told him She'd debut soon and visit him before she does. Bae Suzy, that was going to be her stage name. Wow, everything about her was beautiful. He felt so so happy when she came to meet her the day before her debut. She looked even more beautiful and he couldn't express how much he missed her. "Yah, Oh Sehun don't tell me that cat got your tongue" she squealed adding how skinny he looked and how he should eat healthy foods giving him an immense pleasure with a thought that she cared. He was so lost in her that he failed to see a tall guy who stepped out of the car from where Suzy came out a while ago. When that guy coughed to get their attention, Sehun realised he was looking at the most popular actor of the generation. Good looking and wealthy. Something like jealousy insecurity stirred inside Sehun when he saw how Chummy Suzy and Lee Min Ho were. yes, Lee Min Ho was his name. he had everything a normal guy would dream of. They shared greetings and Sehun could see how Min Ho's hand was snaking around his dream girl's waist. It hurt like hell. It still does. but what could he do?? That day he hid his face inside his hyung's embrace and wailed like a child with a scattered pieces of heart and shattered dream. When he also started as a trainee idol in one of the entertainment agency, Bae Suzy was already a sky rocketed name. he was proud of her but sacrificing his happiness for hers was always what he did since their high school days. so he never confessed. One night, Suzy knocked on his dorm's door with red puffy eyes. She looked so devastated that he couldn't bring himself to ask her the reason. Instead, he wrapped her in his arms in hope he could shield her away from all the worries haunting her hoping she could cry her heart out. but she didn't. This hurt him even more to know she had built a wall so that nobody could reach out to her sorrow with the strong facade she maintained despite criticisms she'd get in all those articles hogging for money trying to defame her. She didn't tell him the reason and he never asked because he himself had heard the gossips about Suzy's wretched guy hooking up with his costars. Sehun badly wanted to punch that guy who had dragged his beautiful friend in such valley of sorrows. but he cudn't hurt him because it would hurt Suzy. he'd never let it happen. "I'm very happy today. Sehunahhhh he proposed to marry me" Suzy jumped with excitement and unlimited happiness that he could see her face glowing. she had grown up to be more beautiful with those prominent cheeks, the beautiful shape of her face, he itched to touch and feel. He still missed her chubby cheeks he used to pinch back in their school days. oh how free they were back then. In her blinding happiness, she couldn't notice how Sehun wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. "Congratulations!! so my friend is finally getting married. isn't it too soon though? you're still so young." "but I want this Sehun. I want to be happy. he promised never to betray me again." she beamed. Sehun could only stare at how her eyes sparkled with the thought making his feelings and heartache so petty infront of her happiness. "YOU better get a girl too. DON'T act heartless and turn every girls away. I can see Irene, your pretty colleague has some interest in you. uh nono not some but she looks very interested in you. what say my handsome friend?" Sehun only could roll his eyes in despair. *If only you knew. If only you knew its you who I want for my whole life* They came here for her dress selection today. Her future husband told her he was busy as always. *Jerk*. So Sehun it was. Sehun accompanied her even for choosing her wedding gown. since, Suzy didn't like the gown from the designer shop Minho recommended, they decided to try their luck in other shop. So here they were. Suzy finally selected a gown which Sehun also nodded in agreement with. took it inside the changing room. The gown She chose was so simple in comparison to the exaggeratingly elaborate gown as preferred by Minho. this thought bring a smile to Sehun's lips. After all these years, she was still the simple Suzy he fell in love with. while Suzy was inside, Sehun suddenly heard a masculine laughter behind him. he remembered it belonged to the guy who changed his luck. "Oppa does it look good on me? " The female voice pulled Sehun's attention and was shocked to see it belonged to non other than the same actress Jerk was rumoured to be two timing with Suzy. Sehun was angry to the point that he wanted to confront that guy but could only clench his fists instead when he heard Suzy's voice. "Sehunahh how do I look?? Do you think he'll like it??" There she was, looking extraordinarily beautiful in the simple wedding gown, dressing up in excitement for her unworthy future husband who was flirting right behind him. "you're okay?? you dont look good. Something wrong?" with worries written all over her face she came near Sehun. Sehun felt helpless "you've got something in your face. let me wipe it away" suzy was pulled towards him but Sehun realised his attempt to hide the bad news failed when he felt Suzy's face inside his face wetting his shirt. He could do nothing but hold her firmly hoping this time she'd pour her heart out and it could ease away her pain, the pain he felt inside him. he didn't realise when his own tears were sliding down. He cried for her. He cried for himself. He cried in hope of washing away the ugly scars both of them had in their hearts. *I'll protect you from now onwards. I swear this is the last time you'd cry or feel hurt. * He thought, determined to do so. From the corner of his eyes, he could still see the two shamelessly flirting, oblivious to everything and everyone around them. He felt the tug in his shirt, there she was staring straight into his soul, with those tearful eyes as if asking where she went wrong. "you're so strong baby. i'm here for you, right here for you." Sehun hugged her tightly again and Never ever had Suzy felt this secure as in Sehun's embrace. Her bestfriend who she can trust with her whole life.. *you're my dream. i'll make it happen for real.*
