Innie is a girl who can't dream. To the world, she looks like a bright college girl with a great life. But in truth, her heart is numbed and she is hopeless. A walking mannequin that can't feel a thing, Innie very carefully pretends to act fine, whi...
Sehun almost couldn't comprehend what she had just asked him.
"Yes?"
He wanted to jail himself for uttering such an uncertain yes. He was just in shock that the angel wanted an audience with him. The question mark was an awed statement of disbelief for himself, not his unwillingness to talk to her. But the poor girl took his response with complete panic.
"I'm sorry, I just – I have something to tell – I overheard –" She muttered in fright, discombobulated beyond rationality. "Yesterday was a – I'm sorry –"
"No, no, don't be. It's fine. I meant to say yes." Sehun reassured her and watched the knuckles on her right hand turn white from squeezing her left hand too hard. "I am absolutely free right now. Don't . . . Don't –" Be nervous. He found himself stopping a smile from forming. Is that why?! Does . . . talking to me make her nervous? Am . . . I responsible for the goddess's derailment?
This can't be real.
The girl's total loss of control of herself charmed him away from reasons once again. Sehun took another step toward her as heat rose. He was now so close he could tell that her head came up just above his shoulders and she would fit perfectly against him, if he pulled her in for a hug.

Sehun had to distract himself so he wouldn't actually pull her in by her waist. He lowered his voice and spoke gently.
"Of course I have time." For you. "I thought I was never going to see you again." He smiled a little. "Why are you here for me?"
The girl stayed silent and immobile, starring at the floor. Sehun bit his lip and reached for her hand.
"Walk with me. We can't talk here."
He held her hand in his and started to head to the storage room. The slightest guilt simmered before his eyes as he walked and held her small, soft hand tight nearly unashamedly. Was her heart also thumping? Because he was burning up. She let him take her by the hand and trod alongside him for well over twenty seconds before she finally woke up.
"Wh-where are you –"
"Almost there." He let her twist her hand away, trying hard to ignore the hole that twenty seconds of heaven left in his heart. "Act a bit and talk about Chanyeol should anyone stop us."
Her eyes widened in alarm but she walked with him in silence.
Sehun surveyed their surroundings carefully as they moved down the hallway. They were lucky this was the IT and Accounting floor. Not many people on this floor seemed to notice them two. It would have been much trickier if they were on their home turfs. Sehun crossed his fingers and hoped that no one here had direct contacts with Management or Development as they approached their destination. Just ten more feet. He turned to look at the girl and saw her knotted brows.
"Don't worry. We look inconspicuous." He whispered. "This is not the first time a pretty female staff walks next to Oh Sehun."
A hint of red lightened the uneasy expression on her lovely face just a bit. Sehun forced his heart back down his throat and opened the door to the storage room.
He wasn't usually this reckless. This was one of the riskiest things he had done since debut. Right in front of a whole floor of SM employees no less. It wasn't that he was good, no. He wasn't good. Not at all. He broke rules all the time, probably even more than Chanyeol, the known troublemaker. He was just really good at not getting caught. So things like sneaking into the storage room with a pretty intern in front of a whole floor of potential witnesses were never his way to rule breaking.
But, if it was for her, anything was worth it.
The girl walked in quietly as he held the door open. Sehun was genuinely surprised she followed through. Why did she let me take her here? The way his heart was draining the air out of him was going to be a problem if he didn't get it fixed fast.

Uh-Oohh Sehun. ;) What happens in the storage room . . . stays in the storage room?
